"Bell!" There was a crisp metal crash, and sparks flew in all directions.

"Shi Lang! What do you want to do?! ”

"Baga! How dare you do this to the young master! ”

Several guards around His Royal Highness Fumatsu Maru reprimanded Shi Lang's behavior, but it was because when His Royal Highness Fumatsu Maru pulled out a short knife and tried to fight with Li Huamei, he was pushed away by Shi Lang with the short spear in his hand, or because of too much force, the short knife in His Royal Highness Fumatsu Maru's hand was shaken out of his hand, and there was a burst of pain from the mouth of the hand holding the knife.

Over there, Xiao Huamei's short knife was also caught in a strange thing, and the short knife lingered in Hua Mei's hand as if it was cast in the iron mountain.

"Who are you?"

Xiao Huamei looked curiously at the strange thing wrapped around the knife, it was a dust, and its owner was a Taoist aunt who stood in the crowd and watched the excitement.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! The little benefactor has gone a little too far. ”

With a slight look of anger on her face, the Dao Gu looked at Xiao Huamei in front of her.

"Master. As you can see, it was this guy who started to say that he was going to smash my yard and tore up my flag, so I stopped him. And he was the first to draw the sword. ”

Originally, that Dao Gu was late, and when she arrived, she happened to be optimistic about the scene of Xiao Huamei and His Royal Highness Fumatsu Maru drawing swords against each other, and what happened before was indeed unknown. Seeing that Yuxue was cute and a little heroic, Xiao Huamei was very aggrieved and said the reason, and immediately changed her position.

"My father also sued me, if people don't offend me, I won't offend people, if people offend me, I will offend people!"

I felt the change in the expression of the Dao Gu in front of me. Xiao Huamei immediately snuggled up to this aunt and explained her reasons clearly.

But the atmosphere seemed to be more tense.

Lin Miao, the sentry officer of the Guards Battalion, ordered the soldiers of the Guards Battalion around him and the soldiers of the Southern Central Army who were present, "Bastard!" A bunch of rammers! The eldest lady was almost cut down, but you didn't react! ”

"Brothers, the young marshal was bullied and copied guys!"

Zheng Zhilong's brother Zheng Cai also ordered the soldiers of the Zheng family army to pick up their weapons, and the two sides immediately faced each other, seeing a fire in front of them.

Poor Shi Lang was caught between the two camps. In a dilemma.

Barracks on the island of South Australia. It was originally built to house the 3,000 sailors here, but with the passage of time, it was forced by the cruel reality of empty quotas and unpaid salaries by officers at all levels. It was originally a barracks for 3,000 people. Less than five hundred remained.

The rest of the rations and ships were probably used by officers of all ranks to support their families and engage in maritime trade. Only four or five hundred old and weak soldiers remained, lazily basking in the sun in the dilapidated barracks to pass the time.

It is now being requisitioned honestly and unceremoniously by the Shouhan as a prisoner of war camp to hold the thousands of prisoners of Liu Laoxiang and Li Guozhu. And the nearly three hundred Dutch captives.

Groups of captives were imprisoned in the open space of the barracks and on the school grounds, in groups of about 100 people. Their bodies shivering in the winter sun were gathered together. The frightened eyes were full of fear and anticipation for the fate of the future.

Suddenly, a life-threatening fragrance came from far and near, making these people who had not eaten water and rice for a day and a night involuntarily look around, looking for the origin of this almost life-threatening fragrance.

"Damn! Even if you want Lao Tzu's six yang leaders, you have to let Lao Tzu eat a full meal before going on the road! ”

Hundreds of residents of the island, escorted by soldiers of the Nanzhong Army, acted as people's husbands carrying dozens of huge bamboo baskets, wooden barrels and other containers, and the smell of life-threatening people was spread all the way by this small team.

A small commotion erupted in the black-pressed ranks of captives, some squeezing desperately forward, others sobbing quietly.

"Is this really our last meal?"

This commotion was quickly suppressed by the soldiers of the right battalion of the Xuanwu battalion who were imprisoned at the scene with spear shafts and fire rifle butts, and in the face of strong violence, these people had to wait helplessly for the verdict of their fate.

"Our Southern Chinese Army has always been based on the naval division, although you resist the army, the crime is unforgivable, but my general has the virtue of a good life, and he can't bear to kill more. Therefore, I will give you a path of self-renewal. ”

"The meal is for those who are willing to join the naval division of the Nanzhong Army! It's not too good, rice, salted fish stew, seaweed egg drop soup, just let go of the belly tube and eat! ”

The words of Huang Chuan, the captain of the brig and the sentry officer of the naval division of the Nanzhong Army, only caused a slight ripple, and in the face of the sudden good news, these captives did not dare to believe it.

A Dutch captive was shouting in the crowd, not knowing what he was saying.

"Dutch? You red-haired people, you don't do business well, and you dare to violate my Ming boundary, so you don't have such a good heart for you! All of them will be incorporated into our army to serve and redeem themselves! ”

More than 200 Dutch prisoners were pulled out of the crowd, forcibly stripped of their Dutch East India Company uniforms, and some soldiers carried a few buckets of water, drenched them from head to toe, and simply washed the filth and seawater on the prisoners' bodies, and then threw away the uniforms of the South Central Army, and the fat jackets and bast shoes were all available. After registering his name and appearance and pressing his fingerprints, he was regarded as a member of the Nanzhong Army Naval Division.

Seeing that these crimes were far greater than their own, the red-haired Yi people squatted aside and buried their heads in eating and drinking, and the sailors and soldiers of Liu Xiang's troops also began to shout one after another, "I do! I do! ”

"Eat! To eat! ”

The shouts came and went.

Soon, the entire barracks was filled with the sound of snoring and pulling food into their mouths. The sound was so loud and the decibels were so high that Chu Tianlei, who was outside the barracks courtyard wall, and He Kaishan, the battalion officer of the right battalion, could hear it clearly.

"My lord, this is a brilliant idea. Hungry for a day and a night, and then put a good meal in front of you, even a man with iron beatings can't resist a hungry word! ”

"These more than 3,000 people are also a big help to our sailors and the Xuanwu battalion, however, the meaning of the lord must be carefully screened, those old bandits who have accumulated years, and those who have a lot of blood debts on their hands, they also have to be investigated, and the Ming canonical punishment is. Our South Central Army wants soldiers, not murderous bandits. ”

Inside the Deputy Commander-in-Chief's Palace.

The deputy chief soldier of South Australia was full of envy. I was filled with remorse.

If it weren't for the empty salary, the business would have been too ruthless, and in order to support his twenty lucky boats and two hundred families, a 3,000-person deputy general standard battalion would have become only a few hundred people. Today, I can also discuss with Li and Zheng in the lobby how to divide the spoils.

Shouhan and Zheng Zhilong, who met for the first time, immediately became as affectionate as long-lost brothers under the recommendation of Zhibao and others.

You call me Brother Feihuang, and I will replace you as Brother Shouhan.

Facing Zheng Zhilong, Shouhan was very generous and handed over the three captured plywood boats to him, and Zheng Zhilong went to repay the adults in Fujian, except for these three boats. There are also almost a hundred large and small guns. As a trophy, it was also given to Zheng Zhilong.

"The large and small artillery on those sunken ships will be salvaged by Brother Feihuang's subordinates."

With these ship cannons. Zheng Zhilong will naturally recruit people to imitate it. Shouhan's contrivedness. For Zheng Zhilong's strength expansion, it is indeed of great benefit. What's more, those plywood boats can also be used to report war merits.

Speaking of exploits. Shouhan gave another big gift to Zheng Zhilong.

"Someone! Pick it up! ”

Each of the six soldiers held a wooden plate covered with red silk, which rose and fell in different heights, and it was not known what was contained underneath.

"Ahh Liu Laoxiang! ”

As the soldiers withdrew the red silk, what came into people's eyes in the wooden plate was the predecessor of the sea back then, whose strength was no less than that of Zheng Zhilong and Li Dan, Liu Xiang! This time, he joined the Dutch to fight Zheng Zhilong as an enemy and harass the pirate leaders along the coast of Fujian!

This human head is undoubtedly Liu Xiang. Many of Zheng Zhilong's subordinates present, including Zhilong, Zhihu, and Zhibao brothers, have dealt with him before, and this is absolutely impossible to fake!

The other two are the heads of Liu Xiang's righteous son Liu Jiu and Li Dan's son Li Guozhu. The other three wooden plates contained the identification of the three people, and the personal confessions of their own soldiers and the three people.

"These three people were captured by me on the surface of Nanao Island. Intended to bribe with gold and silver in order to save his life. Liu Xiang and his son not only confessed the location of their treasures, but also made clear the treasures hidden on Nanao Island by the predecessors of the sea since Wu Ping and Lin Feng, just to save their lives. ”

Shouhan said that the cloud was light and light, and everyone below Zhibao was dumbfounded, and the deputy general of South Australia was even more slanderous in his heart: "It's really more fatal!" People handed over all the gold and silver, and you cut off people's heads, it's really unkind! ”

However, everyone's interest in the hidden treasures of the maritime giants of the past generations is far greater than the criticism of Li Shouhan's lack of attention to the unspoken rules of morality in the rivers and lakes.

"This is Liu Xiang's confession, Brother Feihuang can order someone to look for one or two on Nanao Island in his spare time, which can be regarded as a little help for the military resources spent by Brother Feihuang in this campaign."

Shouhan handed a thick stack of confessions to the hands of the soldiers, and motioned for the soldiers to hand them over to Zhilong's subordinates.

This is to give the treasure on Nanao Island to Zheng Zhilong!

Hearing this, the South Australian lieutenant couldn't help but see a golden light in front of him.

He has been stationed here for a long time, is quite familiar with the legend of the legend of this island, here since the Jiajing period, there are Wu Ping, Lin Feng, Lin Daoqian, Zeng Yiyi and other famous sea giants entrenched here, others do not say, then Wu Ping alone left two place names of Treasure Island and Wu Pingzhai on the island.

There is a folk legend that in the past, in the face of the imperial court to come to suppress the governors Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou, in order to escape conveniently, but also to be able to have the capital to make a comeback, Wu Ping usually robbed the gold and silver into 18 altars, hidden in different places, leaving a mysterious ballad: 'The water rises and cannot be drowned, and the water recedes three feet. Apart from himself, only his sister knew where the treasure was hidden. Once, Wu Ping smiled and asked his sister: 'Once the cottage is suppressed, do you want to escape with me or do you want to stay and take care of the gold and silver.' The sister said, 'I would like to stay and take care of the silver.' Wu Ping was greatly displeased in his heart.

When Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou allied forces divided the land and water routes to encircle and suppress Wu Pingzhai, Wu Ping saw that the general trend had gone, fled to the sea, killed his sister who was guarding 18 altars of gold and silver, and broke the body into 18 pieces and buried them in the place where the gold was hidden, and then escaped from the sea by boat.

Unexpectedly, the secret of this treasure has been passed down from generation to generation in the mouths of successive thieves! And today it has become the capital that Liu Xiang tried to use to buy his life, but it's a pity. He didn't look at the yellow calendar when he went out, and met Li Shouhan such a raw melon egg! Thinking about Wu Ping, when he fought against Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang, who were known as Yu Long and Qi Hu, he already had more than 10,000 people and 400 ships, how could his gold collection be a mere eighteen altars of gold and silver?

Shouhan said so, Zhilong naturally knows the meaning of the string song and knows the elegance, and naturally has to reciprocate.

"Brother Shouhan is so loving, but Feihuang is disrespectful and deserved! How do you think the title book for this naval battle should be written? The meaning of flying yellow is to extravagant pen and ink. Show off your exploits for the brothers of the Southern Chinese Army! ”

"Definitely! Definitely! The Feihuang Brotherhood has mistaken the meaning of Shouhan! In the following view. When you play your military exploits, you must remember that our Southern Chinese Army has never come! ”

Yes! This made the officers and generals of the Ming army present in an uproar. I have never heard of the merit, but I have never seen anyone who gave up his bloody merits to others.

"This. It doesn't make sense! Lord Futai Zou already knew that our army had friendly assistance in the pursuit of the Hongmao rebel. Now it'......"

"It's really a friendly army! Isn't this the vice-general of Nanao Island here? Lead your subordinates to intercept the rebel fleet. He braved the arrows and stones, was not afraid of artillery fire, and led his troops to shout and fight in the rain of artillery. Back and forth conflict kills thieves. Won dozens of heads of rebellion. ”

Hearing this, the two deputy generals of Nanao Island, who were waiting with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes on the side, had the urge to kneel down and call the guards their father!

This is a great credit casually thrown on one's head!

Zheng Zhilong glanced at the lucky person who picked up a piece of rotten paper from the ground but found that it was a 570 million lottery jackpot, "General Li values you very much, don't you thank General Li well?" ”

Zheng Zhilong's tone and attitude, if he was seen by the imperial historians of the DPRK and China, he would have to be impeached, nothing else, a guerrilla general who had just accepted Zhao'an, spoke to the dignified deputy general of the imperial court like a slave, is this okay? Where is the imperial court system?

However, this is an era of strength and influence. Donglin's ancestor is still just a registered official who lectures in Wuxi, what power does he have to decide the major policies of the imperial court? But, he did! Without him, the strength of the ear!

How did the deputy general of Nanao Island, who only had 200 available troops in his hands, face the tens of thousands of horses of Li Shouhan and Zheng Zhilong? These troops on Nanao Island alone are enough to make the adjutant general die a few times, and what ability does he have to turn against the two? And people are so generous to throw a battle feats in front of him casually, and if you don't know what to do, then you are really asking for your own death!

"Then as Brother Shouhan said, our army and the defenders of Nanao Island will work together to annihilate the fleeing enemy, as for how to phrase it, I will study it with my brothers on Nanao Island later. Also, on this Nanao Island, the Tibetan Monkey of Liu Xiang and others must also be discovered with the deputy general! ”

The deputy general felt that he was really prosperous, not only was he expected to be promoted, but he was also about to make a fortune. Even if you give him one percent of the treasure hidden by the pirate leaders of the past generations, I am afraid it is also a shocking amount.

However, this time to fight against the rebellion, Zhilong still inherited the favor of the brothers of the Nanzhong Army, and there were brothers who sold fine gunpowder, wrought iron, weapons and other things at low prices, and now they are not afraid of hardships and come to their aid. If Zhilong just lets Brother Shouhan go back like this, I am afraid that some people will laugh at Zhilong for not knowing how to get along with his friends, and second, it will be detrimental to Brother Shouhan's tiger power. ”

The meaning of the words is very direct, I, Zheng Zhilong, already owe you a lot of favors, let's say, how can I repay these favors? If I don't pay it back, some people outside will laugh at me, and I will have to mix in the rivers and lakes! If you go back empty-handed like this, I'm afraid it will not be easy to explain to your subordinates.

Speaking of this, Zhilong's eyes did not blink, staring at Shouhan's face with blazing light, and the lobby was still laughing and cheering, and the atmosphere immediately became very subtle and tense.

Shouhan faced Zhilong's two fierce and fierce eyes like giant cannons, he didn't care at all, took a sip of the teacup, and cleared his throat, "Naturally, I won't be polite with Brother Feihuang, and I also want to ask Brother Feihuang for something, but ,......"

He was about to open his mouth to speak, when a sentry officer of the Zheng family army and an officer of the guard battalion of the Nanzhong Army hurriedly ran in, and their eyes were full of vigilance when they looked at each other.

"Nonsense! Sue them, don't come nonsense! If anyone dares to move, Lao Tzu will be dealt with by military law no matter who he is! ”

Zheng Zhilong heard the sentry officer whispering a few words in his ear, his face immediately changed color, and he reprimanded in a low voice.

"Zhi Leopard! You go deal with it and bring me that little thing that caused trouble! ”

Zheng Zhibao obeyed the military order of his eldest brother, and hurriedly got up and went out with the sentry officer to deal with the crisis caused by the verbal conflict between the two young masters.

"You also go, sue Chu Tianlei and others, be polite and polite to Zheng Jiajun's brothers. Also, bring Erya over. ”

Shouhan also shouted orders to the team officer who came to report the news.

After a while, there was a commotion outside the adjutant general's mansion, and when it reached the door, it suddenly stopped, and from outside the mansion gate, two teams of people and horses swarmed in. The same color of the military uniform of the Ming officials, the same race and complexion. Those with yellow and red identification bands on their bodies are the teams of the Nanzhong Army, and those who do not carry this identification band are naturally soldiers of the Zheng Family's army.

Guarding the crowd by their respective soldiers were the two people who caused the accident this time, Li Huamei and His Royal Highness Fumatsu Maru, and Shi Lang was also escorted to Zheng Zhilong by several Zheng family soldiers who twisted their arms to death. (To be continued......)
