Since the 32nd year of Jiajing, Qian Yuan has formed an escort team, and over the years, hundreds of people have died in battle, and they have been replenished three times.

Now the Qian family guards the elite armor in the southeast, and their reputation spreads all over the country, and there are many accompanying troops, not only Yu Long and Qi Hu, but also the rest of Qi Jimei, Lu Bin, and Tan Lun, and even a few people go south to Fujian with Wu Baipeng.

At the earliest, Wang Yi was the leader, Yang Wen and Zhang San were the auxiliaries, and then Qian Yuan successively promoted Liu Hong, Zhou Ze, Zhou Ji and others, and went south to Taizhou to get Liang Sheng and Peng Feng.

But among the leaders of such a guard, the one who has won the most praise from the outside world, the most famous, the highest status, the most outstanding military achievements, the most talented, and the most assiduous is the same person, Taizhou Yang Wen.

Qian Yuan didn't know that the white-faced man he accepted for a basket of chili peppers in the Ningbo commercial market many years ago was Yang Wen, one of the "Taizhou Six Tiger Generals" in history.

The six tiger generals in Taizhou in history, Yang Wen is the only white body, born as a hawker, but this person is brave and good at fighting, although he is illiterate but knows some strategies, he has been a general under Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang, and the official is the deputy chief soldier of Jimen, and he is Qi Jiguang's deputy.

Yang Wen since joining the army, successively under Lu Bin and Qi Jimei, has been in charge several times, Shangyu victory also has military merits, has been promoted to the Zhejiang capital guerrilla general.

Now Qi Jiguang, who has been transferred to the Fujian General Army, has already gone south, and this time Qi Jimei has gone south together, Liu Xianyuan, a general in eastern Zhejiang, is in Chuzhou, and Yu Dayou, the general of Zhejiang, is divided into two troops, one in Jiaxing Mansion and one in Chuzhou.

Ning Shaotai Sanfu, below the general Lu Bin, is Yang Wen and Hou Jigao.

And Yang Wen was born in the Qian family's guard, and his legendary experience of repeatedly fighting on the battlefield made his reputation much greater than that of the other two.

Such an important person quietly appeared on the snake island on the edge of Xiangshan Island.

This is a small island, there is no mark on the map, the island is densely packed with big trees and bushes, Yang Wen, who has been gnawing dry food for two days, is staring at the sea in the distance.

"Almost, huh?" Zhou Ji next to him said in a low voice: "If you want to talk about naval battles, Tan Qizhi's side may not be able to hold it." ”

Since the nameless island in the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, Zhou Ji has followed Tan Qizhi for three years.

"Don't worry, don't worry." Yang Wen took a bite of steamed buns, "Tan Qizhi over there...... The pirates under Xu Hai's command were purged fifty or sixty percent before, and all those who made up for the past were drawn from the army, as well as a few old brothers...... Hold on! ”

"Brother Yang, the boat can't hold it!" Zhou Ji was a little anxious, "There are more than 30 sea ships over there this time, and Tan Qizhi has only eight from Zhoushan, not to mention that he can't beat them...... If they slip away, the young master said, and all the sticks recorded in the account must be cashed! ”

Yang Wen said expressionlessly: "I still have two sticks on my account." ”

Zhou Ji said in despair: "I ...... One hundred and ninety sticks ......"

Yang Wen smiled, picked up the telescope and took a closer look, the dense small black dots on the sea surface became clearer and clearer, dozens of sea ships came to the east of Xiangshan Port, but the speed was not fast, the dozen or so that had fallen behind had been blocked by seven or eight sea ships that had been obliquely inserted, and the sound of birds firing guns could be heard from afar, and large clouds of white fog could be seen through the telescope.

In the past year, Yang Wen has gone to sea with Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang, and Ge Hao many times to kill the widows, and he grasped the timing very accurately, and only got up after a while and said: "Ready, let go of the five ships in front and block the back." ”

Zhou Ji was surprised: "What the young master said is that there is no one left?" ”

Yang Wen sneered and said: "Going to Nanyang is already profitable, and the return voyage will be full of goods, even if it is too late to sell the goods temporarily, rest assured, those five ships can't run!" ”

On the tall Fu boat, Tan Qizhi held a long knife and scolded loudly, arrows and artillery were all fired downward, and dozens of men bit knives in their mouths, condescendingly jumped to the opposite sea ship to slash and kill.

To tell the truth, it is really a knife to kill chickens, and the sea ships of these eight big families go to sea to sell goods, although they are also equipped with force, but they really have no advantage in fighting.

Soon, the sails of the two sea ships had been cut down, and one sea ship was burned miserably, Qian Hong took back the long knife and sighed: "It's all blankets...... What a death! ”

"Boom!"

"Boom!!"

Thunder suddenly roared on the sea in the distance, and Tan Qizhi raised his binoculars to look, and saw a cannonball piercing the sky and smashing into a sea ship.

In this era, there were no flowering shells, but the Western iron cannons that Wang Zhi bought by all means were in naval battles...... The actual effect may not be very good, but it definitely has a strong deterrent effect.

More than 20 warships came from the flank at full speed, sparing the five or six merchant ships in the front, and facing the more than 10 ships behind, first with iron cannons, then with birds, and then with bows and arrows.

The sturdy bow of the ship slammed into it, sawdust flew everywhere, and the legs of the maritime merchant with the knife and gun in his hand were weak, well, even if the legs were not messy, they would not be able to stand steadily.

The soldiers were not ready to jump into the gang at all, and raised the prepared bird guns for a wild time, occasionally whizzing arrows.

In just over a quarter of an hour, most of the more than a dozen merchant ships whose formations were completely disrupted raised their white flags, and two merchant ships located on the periphery tried to flee northward, but four warships quickly chased after them, although the ship size was slightly smaller than the other party, but the speed advantage was great.

In a few moments, the two merchant ships were ablaze, and the terrible screams seemed to ring in their ears.

Of the ten sea ships that were blocked behind, three were sunk, and most of the rest fell into the hands of Tan Qizhi, and the big lucky ship came slowly, and the soldiers or pirates jumped onto the merchant ship, and when they encountered resistance, they quickly controlled the situation.

Tan Qizhi looked at the ten warships chasing north, estimated the speed in his heart, and waved his hand: "I can't run." ”

"The younger brother said that it doesn't matter if you slip away." Qian Hong shrugged, he already knew part of the little brother's plan, "It's all smuggling merchant ships anyway." ”

Tan Qizhi turned his head and glared, "Zhu Zichun Yin Jian is not far away!" ”

It is necessary to search for smuggling boats, but the killing is too heavy, that is a taboo, and the root cause of Zhu Kun's conviction was to crack down on smuggling, but Fujian and Zhejiang hated this person so much, and the counterattack was so strong, because Zhu Kun killed too much.

This battle took place at sea, either under Tan Qizhi or under Yang Wen, relatively speaking, the news was relatively secret, but if there were a few ships...... Such things are revealed to the world, and Qian Yuan is likely to be crowned "Zhu Kun's second".

commanded the fleet to return to Zhoushan, and ordered the people to guard so many guys from the merchant ships, Tan Qizhi muttered in his heart, and he didn't know what the nephew was thinking, he would knock out more than 30 smuggling ships at one time, and he was not afraid of the backlash of the big families in the southeast......

Qian Yuan was really not afraid, he had already made a list, not to mention the Southeast clan, only to say that those big families who started as maritime merchants back then were really refused by him to issue customs clearance documents for various reasons, only these eight.

Cracking down on smuggling may arouse the jealousy of countless smugglers and even regular maritime merchants, but if the name is ...... At least in the name of cracking down on smuggling, what about the private announcement?

Zhou Fu, who had come to pick up the ship in person, looked at the mountain peak like ashes, and watched the five or six sea ships that were almost close at hand being stopped, surrounded, and ravaged by iron cannons and birds.

Even though the white flag has been flown on the ship, the iron cannon is still not stopped, the bird gun is constantly sounding, and the military ship throws oil cans, rockets, and torches......

The raging fire was burning on the sea, and the setting sun was about to set, but the hearts of Zhou Fu and the people around him were dripping blood.

Several warships turned around and walked away, the sea gradually engulfed the still burning body of the ship, the sun set, it was already the end of April, and everyone was cold.

Zhou Fu turned his head and looked around, and exchanged a miserable look with Wu Zhi, the head of the Wu family, this was a battle with too much disparity in strength, and it was also a massacre that had been planned for a long time.

Although not a single survivor has been found so far, they know who did it?

The most unlikely, and most terrifying, thing for them has finally happened.
