Feng Xiang led the Dongping Island Navy from Cheniushan Island and arrived off the coast of Dashan Island in only one hour.

There are only a dozen pirates stationed on Dashan Island, and there are no decent fortifications on the island at all, and there are no buildings on the beach, but there is a stockade in the middle of the island to hoard the baggage looted by Sui Yuxing.

It didn't take long for Feng Xiang to command everyone to land, and after one hundred and sixty-eight birdmen landed, they rushed directly towards the stockade in the center of the island.

Feng Xiang saw that a battle had ended before it had even begun, and the pirates of Sui Yuxing's subordinates, who were originally rampant in this area, had become so inexorable, which made everyone feel incredible.

"With the support of the head town, we can be counted as one step to the sky!"

Feng Xiang sighed, and everyone around him also felt the same way.

At this time, Guan Wu asked in a low voice: "Commander, what should I do with these prisoners?" ”

According to Guan Wu's meaning, these captives were also settled on the spot.

But Feng Xiang thought for a moment and said, "It's okay! These bastards are useless! ”

With a burst of screams, all the dozen or so pirates on the island were summarily executed.

Feng Xiang commanded his men to count the seizures on Dashan Island.

The money and grain on the island are about more than 2,000 taels of silver and more than 800 stone of grain, which is already a huge amount of money for Feng Xiang and others, but it is a drop in the ocean when it is put into Shandong Town.

It didn't take long for all these seizures to be loaded onto the ship, and Feng Xiang returned with the Dongping Island Navy, arriving at the Dongping Island wharf at ten o'clock in the evening.

In the evening, Feng Xiang interrogated Sui Yuxing and said with a sneer: "Sui is in charge, I didn't expect that there would be today!" ”

Sui Yuxing's face was gloomy, and he asked angrily: "How can you have such sharp warships and firearms!" ”

Feng Xiang said coldly: "Then you don't have to worry about it, let's worry about yourself!" ”

As he spoke, Feng Xiang asked some things about Sui Yuxing's Haikou, such as the scope of activities of his department, and whether there were any hidden treasures.

But Sui Yuxing always glared angrily and ignored it at all.

"It's nothing if you don't say it, Lao Tzu originally wanted to leave you a whole corpse, but now since you don't eat and drink in the toast, let's wait to feed the fish!"

After speaking, Feng Xiang left.

The next day, Liu Zi'an, the minister of intelligence, rushed to Dongping Island by boat, and Feng Xiang hurriedly rushed to the dock with a group of his subordinates to greet him.

After meeting, Liu Zi'an asked directly: "Sui Yuxing can catch it!" ”

"Got it!"

Feng Xiang said on his lips, but he was a little curious in his heart, he had just exterminated Sui Yuxing's department, and he hadn't had time to report it, how did Liu Zi'an get the news, and he came so quickly?

Liu Zi'an seemed to see through Feng Xiang's thoughts, so he said: "I came to give you an order this time at the rate of the general town; It's just that on the way, I got the news that you exterminated Sui Yuxing's department. ”

At this time, Feng Xiang reacted, this Liu Zi'an is the minister of the Intelligence Department of Shandong Town, and he must have ears and eyes on Dongping Island, and his heart was shocked, and his expression became more and more respectful.

"Minister Liu, I don't know what order the general town gave to the lowly position?"

"Let's go! Say it in the house. ”

Feng Xiang hurriedly led Liu Zi'an to his house, closed the door, and Liu Zi'an said: "The headquarters town has an order: order the Dongping Island Navy to control Feng Xiang, and from today onwards, lead the troops to intercept all Fanbang merchant ships passing through the waters of Qingzhou Prefecture!" The Fanbang people on the ship are killed at will, and the craftsmen who accompany the ship need to be screened, and those who are available need to be sent to Jinan Fucheng for use; However, Feng Xiang, the naval commander of Dongping Island, must not plunder the ships of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming people on the merchant ships of Fanbang must not be harmed, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law! ”

When Feng Xiang heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and took his life.

Although Feng Xiang didn't understand the purpose of this order, the dignified chief military officer of Shandong Town actually ordered himself to plunder the passing Fanbang merchant ships, but he still did not hesitate to accept the order.

At this time, although the Ming Dynasty strictly forbade private ships to go to sea, it still had trade with Japan, Korea, the Netherlands, Portugal and other countries, especially in the provinces south of the Yangtze River, and the trade was even more frequent.

Of course, the vast majority of these trades are made by the imperial court, and the people are absolutely not involved, even if there are some civil forces involved, it is also a wealthy family with a heavenly background!

Liu Juntao's move, firstly, to use this method to train troops in battle, so that Feng Xiang's troops can be tempered, and secondly, to cut off the maritime trade routes through Shandong, so as to lay the foundation for the development of maritime trade in advance by the Ministry of Commerce in the future!

Of course, these are all later words, and at this time Liu Zian said again: "As for the seizure of the looting of these Fanbang merchant ships, the general town also has an explanation. ”

"It's all up to the town!"

At this point, Feng Xiang naturally didn't dare to think about anything wrong, not to mention the powerful forces in Shandong Town for the time being, not to mention his intention to do something in Shandong Town, just saying that this intelligence department was well-informed and acting strangely, it was enough to make Feng Xiang dare not cross the thunder pool by half a step!

"The headquarters has an order: all the captured baggage and goods, the Dongping Island Navy will keep 30% of it to fill the military salary, and the rest of the captured goods will be transported to Qingzhou Mansion Anton Wei for handover! As for the captured sea ships, the Dongping Island Navy can stay on its own to expand its own strength! ”

Feng Xiang was also relieved when he heard this, after all, he and his brothers could still have a lot of gains, and they still did a lot of work and got a lot, and even the captured sea ships could be left on their own, which was enough to make Feng Xiang happy for a while.

Then, Liu Zi'an took out a thick booklet and said: "This is the main point of naval training compiled by the Military Department's Recruitment Department, and from now on, the Dongping Island Navy will strictly drill according to this point, and report the situation of the Navy to the Military Department in detail every three months, and there must be no mistakes!" ”

"Order!"

Liu Zi'an said in a deep voice: "If Feng Tong conceals his strength and does not report it, the head town has its own way to know, and then Feng Tong will probably have a hard time, and don't want to develop in Shandong Town; However, as long as Commander Feng is dedicated to the public, the head town will definitely not treat you badly, and according to the development of the Navy on Dongping Island, he will continue to dispatch troops and horses to the command of Commander Feng! ”

Feng Xiang naturally didn't dare to have any dissent when he heard this, so he immediately expressed his loyalty, and also made a poisonous oath.

Seeing this, Liu Zi'an nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good!" Every three months in the future, Wu Hao, a guerrilla general of the right battalion of the Yingyang Army stationed in Rizhao County, will come to inspect the Dongping Island Navy, accompanied by the personnel of the Military Department's Zhenfu Department and the Ministry of Intelligence's Internal Affairs Department. ”

Feng Xiang also wrote them down one by one, not daring to miss the slightest, and said that he would definitely train his subordinates strictly and would never slack off.

After some explanation, Feng Xiang set up a banquet to entertain Liu Zi'an.

During the banquet, Feng Xiang also carefully asked Sui Yuxing and the other captives how to deal with them, after all, there were more than 600 of these people, and it was not a matter to put them on Dongping Island like this.

Liu Zi'an said: "These prisoners will stay on the island for the time being, and in a few days, the military department will send people to take all these prisoners away." ”

"I wonder what these towns are going to do with these pirates?"

"Now that the Ministry of Commerce is mining in various places, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs is also constantly expanding Tunzhuang, it is the time to employ people, and most of the captives will be sent to the mine to be used as mining slaves."

Hearing this, Feng Xiang also sighed and said, "These pirates all have human lives on their hands, so it's really cheap for them to be sent to hard labor like this!" ”

"Is that really the case?"

Liu Zi'an sneered and said: "Maybe when these people go to the mine, they will hope that they were killed by Feng Tong on the sea!" ”

Hearing this, Feng Xiang suddenly felt a chill in his heart, only to feel that he was thinking too simply, and Liu Zi'an in front of him became even more unfathomable.
