Hanging a person on a ship and slowly drying them to death in the sun is a very cruel punishment.

After hanging on the mast, people will not be able to die for the time being, not only will they be tortured by the wind and sun, the sun and the rain, but they will also be pecked by seabirds, and when the time comes, the stomach will be broken and the blood will flow all over the body, and the situation will be extremely miserable and terrifying.

In order to vent their anger and deter the plundering population, the five commanders of Tongpan Island Tongshanzhai "Beast Tiangu" Liao Han and the seven leaders "Wuhua Lang" Zhu Guangming hung the Song army soldiers they captured on the sails or masts with iron hooks.

"Hang higher, hang higher, haha, the wound is bigger, so that the seabirds will come to eat meat!" Liao Han looked at the more than ten Song army soldiers floating around on the sails and masts and laughed.

"Fifth brother, am I beautiful?" Zhu Guangming put his hand on Liao Han's shoulder and smiled.

"Get away, you old pit fart, I don't want to eat you." Liao Han was so disgusted that he almost vomited out the overnight meal, and said angrily after throwing Zhu Guangming away.

"I hate it! Fifth brother! Zhu Guangming said angrily...

"What are you doing?" At this moment, someone shouted.

The dock where the pirate ships docked is a large open space, one side of the open space is the dock where the ships docked, where the water is deep enough to dock large ships, and on the other side is three large lava holes for the pirates to enter and exit the cottage.

At this time, someone scolded loudly, Liao Han and Zhu Guangming hurriedly looked back, only to see Fei Jingyang, the second leader of Shuizhai "Creekside Snake", who was reprimanded as the second leader of Shuizhai, and Xie Huaizhong, the big leader of the big leader, and Gu Longyun, the third leader of the "Mountain Jiao", walked out of a lava cave together.

"Big brother, two... Second brother, third brother! Seeing this, Liao Han and Zhu Guangming hurriedly turned around and said in fear.

The pirates were extremely brutal and lawless, and the only one who could restrain them was the three-leader Fei Jingyang, so after the two saw Fei Jingyang, they were a little timid.

"What are you two doing?" Fei Jingyang walked in front of Liao Han and Zhu Guangming and said angrily: "Quickly put people down, it's really bold, it's really reckless to do things, it annoys the government, provokes the officials and troops to attack in a big way, and my copper cottage will be in danger." ”

Fei Jingyang was really depressed, and he had already made it clear to them that they were not allowed to kill innocents indiscriminately, so as not to cause public anger, which would cause anger along the entire southeast coast, if so, the Great Song Dynasty would have to send a large army to exterminate the pirates, and at that time, it would be a big deal.

Only the more than 2,000 rabble of Tongshanzhai will not be able to resist the imperial army, and Fei Jingyang, as the military advisor of Tongshanzhai, is extremely sober about this.

And after these people were released, they were like wild horses that had been unleashed, burning and killing and plundering like beasts, and at this time they actually hung the Song army's soldiers on the sails and masts, ready to dry them, so that the torture was learned by the government, which would inevitably cause the government to be extremely angry.

It's good to leave their lives alive and exchange them for some money and food, Fei Jingyang thought depressedly.

"What's at stake? I don't understand. Zhu Guangming said disapprerovingly: "Everyone has hung up, and it is unlucky to put it down." ”

"Hehe, don't worry, second leader, officer? In the past, it was not that there were no officials and troops to attack Tongshanzhai, and they didn't return with a feather? My eighth brother and I also led our men and horses to ambush the officers and soldiers, and killed them, they were simply vulnerable. ”

"Hahahaha!" Zhu Guangming laughed wildly with all the pirates when he heard this.

"Shut up!" Fei Jingyang was so angry that he pointed to the Song army soldiers who were struggling in pain hanging on the sails and masts of the ship and said, "Open your dog's eyes and see, who are they?" The old are old, the young are young, is this the official army? Even if it is an official army, it is also a miscellaneous army in the official army, not the elite of the Song army, aren't you two capable? So next time you go catch a few elites of the Song Army and show me, how about it? ”

"Catch it, can't you catch it?" Zhu Guangming said stubbornly.

"Okay, the second brother doesn't have to be so angry." The big leader, Xie Huaizhong, touched his shiny bald head and said with a smile: "Isn't it just a few officers and soldiers?" Kill them, it's not a big deal, next time, next time, the old man will discipline them well. ”

Xie Huaizhong has been crisscrossing the sea for more than ten years, and he was born as a fisherman on Liangzhejiang Road in the past, and he was also born in a poor family, but he was bullied by the government and bullies, and killed the bully in anger.

After Xie Huaizhong fell into the grass, he quickly broke out of the name of "Flying Jiao" with his fierceness and viciousness, and his symbol was a bald head with three scars on his head.

"Next time?" Fei Jingyang said in a sullen voice: "Is there a next time?" Brother, younger brother has already told you that those who want to achieve great things should be strict in military discipline, reward and punish clearly, treat ordinary people well, and although they don't rob ordinary people, they also earn a good reputation for my copper cottage, and we dominate the sea, not for the land overlord, so try not to go ashore to rob. Going ashore to rob will inevitably arouse the anger of the coastal people, and at the same time, it will also cause us to suffer unnecessary losses. ”

Xie Huaizhong's protection made Fei Jingyang extremely depressed, the upper beam was not correct and the lower beam was crooked, with such a big leader, could the brothers below be able to follow the rules?

"Be kind to ordinary people? Hey, second brother, the brothers all have long mouths, they have to eat and drink every day, don't rob ordinary people? What am I waiting to eat? What to drink? At this time, it is winter, and there are very few merchant ships in winter, if you only grab merchant ships, how can the brothers survive this disgusting winter? ”

"There is a shortage of food in winter, so let the three leaders buy it, so why risk going to the shore to grab it?" Fei Jingyang said.

The three leaders, Gu Longyun, had a wide range of contacts on the shore, and when there was a shortage of food in the cottage, Gu Longyun went to the coast to buy food, and Gu Longyun rarely came to Tongshanzhai because of this, and he usually ran around on the shore.

At this time, the Spring Festival is coming soon, so Gu Longyun went to the island to pay New Year's greetings to the big leader Xie Huaizhong.

"Second Leader!" Gu Longyun shook his head slightly when he heard this: "You may not know that there is a shortage of grain in winter, and at this time, the grain in Zhejiang Road, Jiangnan Road and other places does not know what is going on, and most of it is shipped to Quanzhou, and the new Taishou of Quanzhou has extremely strict control over food, so it is even more difficult to exchange some grain at this time." ”

"That's it... Xie Huaizhong nodded when he heard this: "When this winter is over, how about listening to the second brother?" ”

Fei Jingyang nodded helplessly.

Xie Huaizhong's words are not unreasonable, people always have to eat, and these people can do anything when they are in a hurry.

At the same time, this is also the consequence of Xie Huaizhong's non-stop words about Jingyang, that is, Xie Huaizhong keeps recruiting troops and horses, and keeps snare the big and small pirates around him.

The consequence of this is that although the power is getting bigger and bigger, the number is increasing, the personnel are becoming more and more complicated, and the burden is of course getting heavier and heavier.

Pirates make a living by plundering, and in order to feed so many people, of course, they must keep plundering, and just plundering maritime merchants or rich people cannot satisfy their appetite.

Robbing the rich and helping the poor and doing the right thing for heaven are just slogans after all, but no thief can fully do it.

"Who is the new governor of Quanzhou?" Xie Huaizhong then asked Gu Longyun, "I heard that this person is a milky child?" ”

"Exactly!" Gu Longyun replied: "This person is the champion of Song Gengchen, since Quanzhou took office, he has calmed the waters, clarified the rule of officials, appeased the people, and won the hearts of the people of Quanzhou. ”

"That's what the Three Commanders said." Fei Jingyang nodded and said: "Judging from his actions after taking office in Quanzhou, how can this person tolerate us as an official who cares about the people... I expect that it will inevitably take some measures against my copper cottage, so the cottage should make some preparations. ”

"What should we prepare? The second brother may wish to say it clearly. Xie Huaizhong asked.

"It depends on their actions." Fei Jingyang replied.

"If that champion can be interesting, it's fine, if it's not interesting, my copper cottage is not so easy to mess with." Xie Huaizhong nodded.

After a long time, they formed a "tacit understanding" with the government, that is, as long as the government of a certain state is not chasing and fighting, or even turning one eye open and closing one eye, then the pirates will not overly disturb the state capital, and it will be stopped.

The Song coastline is tens of thousands of miles, and all coastal states, governments, armies, counties, towns, and townships can become the targets of pirates.

"The Four Chiefs are back!" At this time, Xie Huaizhong's younger brother, Xie Huaiyi, who was sitting in the second place in the cottage, rushed over and said to Xie Huaizhong and the others: "Go and see what kind of new things the five leaders brought back to me?" ”

Xie Huaiyi is Xie Huaizhong's younger brother, the difference between the two is more than ten years, but people who are nearly thirty years old seem to have not grown up, and their brains seem to be missing strings. He also once made a joke that Xie Huaiyi once went to participate in the Song Zhigong Ceremony, and was almost caught by the government...

Xie Huaiyi was able to sit at the top of the cottage entirely because he was Xie Huaizhong's brother.

"Hehe, let's go, let's go and see what the fourth brother brought back?" Xie Huaizhong smiled when he heard this.

So they went to the dock where the ships were docked.

And what made all the pirates feel extremely surprised and frustrated was that where did the four leaders "One-Eyed" Lai Hei return triumphantly? Instead, he returned with a feather, a man who lost his armor and lost his soul. . .

Lai Hei led more than ten ships and hundreds of pirates to go to Nan'an County, Quanzhou to plunder, but only three or four boats and thirty or forty people came back.

After Lai Hei led the four boats through the five gates one by one, everyone saw that the pirates on the ship were all injured, and their faces showed a look of shock, as if they had encountered something extremely terrifying.

He didn't grab a single property or person, but threw away the weapon in his hand.

"Lai Laosi, where are the ships and brothers?" Seeing this, Xie Huaizhong was so angry that he asked loudly.

"Death... He's dead... Lai Hei lowered his head and replied in frustration.

"Who said that there is no one in the Great Song Dynasty? Who said that the Song army has no elite? Fei Jingyang sighed when he saw this.
