Chapter 267: Arrival in Fuso

Autumn is crisp and the sea breeze is blowing.

Fifty seagoing ships sailed out of the port of Jiuqu Bay, and the formation was quite majestic.

Headed by Li Gang, the governor of the Dongyang Naval Division, the purpose of their trip was to sweep away the nest of the Fusang bandits in the East China Sea.

Li Gang stood on the flagship, looking very majestic, he was very proud at this moment, this feeling was even more enjoyable than when the gold list was titled and the candle night in the cave room.

This time he went to sea to suppress bandits, Li Gang originally did not agree to go with Xiao Zan, Chen Zheng and his son Li Shuang, after all, this is a battle and it is dangerous.

However, Xiao Zan is the crown prince, Chen Zheng and Li Shuang have newly crowned county men, and the credit for their title is the last time they repelled the Fusang bandits, using this reason, Li Gang seems to be unable to refuse.

However, Li Gang still left a few of them on the flagship and stayed with him, so that at least their safety could be guaranteed.

Li Gang was still very confident in this crackdown on the bandits, and they had already practiced many times to land on the beach, which was simply confident for the non-commissioned officers on the ship.

Chen Zheng put forward the idea of a beach-grabbing landing exercise in actual combat, and when he made this idea out, he immediately won Li Gang's approval.

Li Gang, as the governor of Dongyang and the first governor of the Liang Kingdom, acted very cautiously and knew his own strengths and weaknesses.

Just like this anti-bandit operation, although Li Gang is the supreme commander, he has no intention of commanding the sailors to fight.

Why? Because Li Gang doesn't know how to fight, although he has read a few military books, he will not be arrogant and think that he will be proficient in the art of war.

After all, the book of war is not equal to the art of war, and in history, anyone who is familiar with the book of war as familiar with the art of war generally ends up miserable.

Li Gang knows this, so he won't make such a mistake.

This general of the naval division, Li Gang has another appointment, that is, Yu Zhoudu, the escort of Feng Xueyong, the prefect of Hongjiang Prefecture.

Yu Zhoudu had been protecting Feng Xueyong before, and now Feng Xueyong was promoted to the head of the Kyoto household, and Feng Xueyong lent Yu Zhoudu to Li Gang.

After all, in Feng Xueyong's opinion, Li Gang is now the governor of the water division, and he can be regarded as a combatant, and the danger factor is much higher than that of him in Kyoto.

And when Yu Zhoudu came to Li Gang's side, Li Gang was pleasantly surprised to find that the other party's understanding of the sailor was very profound.

On weekdays, Li Gang would hand over some specific training affairs to Yu Zhoudu, and after several beach-rushing and landing exercises, Li Gang directly handed over to him the post of general of the naval division.

And Yu Zhoudu did not disappoint Li Gang, and trained this sailor in an orderly manner, which was very majestic.

This time to suppress the bandits, Li Gang handed over the combat task to Yu Zhoudu, and he just pressed the formation.

Liao Jiapeng, who was captured, was used as a guide this time, and under his guidance, the army moved forward rapidly.

This flagship has been modified and reinforced by Chen Zheng, and it is very stable, and there is no bump in the blue waves.

If there were no other forty-nine ships cleaving the waves together, they would have been sightseeing at sea.

Soon, the old nest of the Fuso pirates was getting closer and closer, and the island was already in front of them.

According to the agreement, Li Gang's flagship was far behind, and other warships were ready to rush to the beach.

Countless exercises have finally worked, although the pirates on the island have already discovered the invading Dongyang Sailors, but if they want to resist it, it is probably wishful thinking.

Although there are still thousands of pirates on this island, they are divided into several forces, and they are not at harmony with each other, and they are almost crushed in the face of the menacing and well-trained sailors.

Even when some of the pirates were attacked, the other pirates were still watching the excitement, and when it was their turn to be eliminated, they wailed again, but it was too late.

Barely encountering any decent attack, the sailors successfully landed, which was simply easier than the usual exercises.

So, several young people couldn't hold their breath anymore, and they asked to get off the boat and go to the island to fight, after all, it was also a credit to be able to go to the island to kill a few Fusang bandits.

Li Gang couldn't stand the soft grinding and hard bubbles of several people, so he had to order the flagship to dock, and several people got off the ship one after another.

Xiao Zan was very excited, and with a shout from more than a dozen guards and attendants, he rushed into the battlefield, killing for a while, which was very enjoyable.

However, Chen Zheng also knew that Xiao Zan estimated that there was no danger, because not far away, his escort Yu Qizheng was preoccupied.

Seeing Xiao Zan kill up, Li Shuang couldn't help it, and rushed into the battlefield with more than a dozen people.

To be honest, if it was the first time to see this kind of fighting, it would probably be unbearable, but Chen Zheng and they were not the first time.

After the last battle, they have actually become veterans, and their psychological quality has been excellent, and they will definitely kill the enemy without mercy.

In this kind of bloody battlefield, it is difficult to maintain a calm heart, and even Chen Zheng felt a rush of blood rushing to his head.

In the end, Chen Zheng couldn't suppress this enthusiasm, and rushed forward with a knife.

The bandits have been defeated, and they can't resist at all, although Chen Zheng doesn't know martial arts, but he has the strength to win, and he is victorious, and a knife is actually dancing vigorously, although he is not like Xiao Zan, he has already taken a few heads, but he is not like Li Shuang, surrounded by guards, and he has nothing to do.

Chen Zheng at least killed the enemy in front of him and retreated one after another, and even once defeated one enemy with two.

Perhaps men are instinctively belligerent and warlike, and Chen Zheng gradually threw himself into it, chasing the defeated pirates and killing them.

And the soldiers who originally followed Chen Zheng began to see him so powerful, and they were a lot more relieved, so they also went to hunt down a few pirates so that they could make a contribution.

But when they finished killing the bandits around them and went to see Chen Zheng again, they couldn't find anything, which frightened them.

After looking around a few times, they confirmed that Chen Zheng had really lost it, so they had to report to Li Gang.

After Li Gang heard the news, he was extremely shocked and hurriedly sent someone to find it.

At this time, the battle was also coming to an end, and when Xiao Zan and Li Shuang came back, they were really shocked to learn that Chen Zheng was missing.

Therefore, no longer caring about looting the spoils on the island, Li Gang sent all the sailors out to conduct a carpet search on the island, and it was necessary to find Chen Zheng.

To live to see people, to die to see corpses!

Li Gang didn't say this sentence, because he felt that it was unlucky to say it, but what he meant was that, and I believe everyone could understand it.

Yu Zhoudu led the team to win the battle, but now he didn't have the heart to celebrate, and he couldn't find Chen Zheng, and everyone felt that this battle was not perfect.

But after some searching, everyone felt that they had seen a ghost, and they didn't even find a shadow.

Chen Zhengfang disappeared directly from this island, and he didn't even find a trace.

Li Gang was very depressed, he didn't know how to explain to Yue Xiaorong when he went back, even if Chen Zhengzhan died, there must be a corpse.

But now there is no one alive, no body is dead, and disappearance is the most difficult thing to explain.

But everyone can't spend time on this small island all the time, they have to go back to their lives.

So Li Gang decided to leave 500 people to garrison this island, and the sailors usually traveled between Dongyang County and this island, rotated with the garrison on the island, and replenished the supplies on the island.

In this way, this small island can be regarded as the island of Dongyang County, and the coastline of Daliang Country can be pushed into the sea a lot.

At this time, Chen Zheng, who everyone was looking for, was on a small boat, with a sad face.

On the ship were a few Fuso pirates who escaped with their lives, and their purpose was to escape back to Fusang and never dare to be pirates in the East China Sea again.

Seeing the power of the Dongyang Water Division, who is stupid to plunder in the East China Sea, that root is almost dead.

Chen Zheng, on the other hand, slipped down the hillside after accidentally stepping on the air, and just rolled to the shore on the other side of the island.

Here, there were a few Fuso bandits who were ready to flee in small boats, and they did not dare to face the Dongyang Sailors.

When they saw Chen Zheng falling, these bandits were very kind and quickly rescued him.

At the beginning, Chen Zheng was still very worried, because when he fell, the big knife in his hand had long been lost, and now he had no chance of winning in the face of four pirates.

However, to Chen Zheng's surprise, the pirate didn't think that he was here to attack the island.

After all, when he slipped down the hillside, Chen Zheng was a little embarrassed, like this, he could only be a bandit on the island, and it could never be the Dongyang sailor who attacked him.

Originally, many of the pirates on the island were outlaws from the Liang Kingdom, so the four pirates didn't suspect this at all.

So, Chen Zheng followed their words and made up a story, saying that he was actually a pirate affiliated with Kato, and when Kato went to Dongyang County to be a pioneer, he was unwell and stayed on the island, which saved his life.

Fortunately, one of them, Takumi Minamino, could speak Liang Mandarin, so he acted as an interpreter for Chen Zheng and several others.

The other pirates were Ogasawara Mitsuo, Shibasaki Take, and Yoshida Maya.

Among them, Shibasaki Yue is still a small leader, of course, his identity is not as high as Kato, so they have no way to verify that Chen Zheng made up this story.

And because of their preconceived ideas, they had already made Chen Zheng a bandit on the island, so they didn't doubt it much.

Now there may be only four of them left in the bandits on the entire island, and the others have no proof of death, so naturally Chen Zheng can make it up as he wants.

Perhaps men are instinctively belligerent and warlike, and Chen Zheng gradually threw himself into it, chasing the defeated pirates and killing them.

And the soldiers who originally followed Chen Zheng began to see him so powerful, and they were a lot more relieved, so they also went to hunt down a few pirates so that they could make a contribution.

But when they finished killing the bandits around them and went to see Chen Zheng again, they couldn't find anything, which frightened them.
