While Zhou was preparing for his wedding, Wei Xizhuang was drifting not far from a small island outside Kagoshima with a dozen ships and a team of more than 1,000 people.

Holding the telescope he got from the Xiyi people in his hand, he looked at the simple cottage on the opposite island, and sneered: "Dare to rob your grandfather's boat, I'm impatient!" The artillery turns around, prepare me for shelling, the others get ready! ”

He Qishou stood beside him and hurriedly said: "Dongjia, this is Kagoshima, and in front of it is the territory of the Satsuma Domain. ”

Wei Xizhuang was chased by pirates at sea before, and almost sank, holding his stomach, where to listen to He Qishou, and said directly: "What kind of bird and widow country, what if Lao Tzu fights, prepare!" ”

Two ships loaded with forty cannons, listening to Wei Xizhuang's order, immediately turned around, and aimed their guns at the stockade on that island.

The Japanese people on the island also seemed to feel it, and many people stood on the shore, leaning forward and back, and saying something loudly, as if they were laughing at Wei Xizhuang.

Wei Xizhuang saw it very clearly in the telescope, and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Wait for grandpa, I'll kill you, see if you still laugh, shoot me!" ”

Seeing this, He Qishou no longer persuaded him, and he came to establish contact with merchants such as Korea and the Japanese Kingdom and start maritime trade.

Bang bang bang

It didn't take long for Wei Xizhuang's fleet to open fire, and the black cannonballs fell sharply on the island.

Those pirates of the Japanese Kingdom who were still pointing at Wei Xizhuang and laughing listened to the sound of cannons, and were looking at the dense cannonballs in the sky, and suddenly screamed and ran away.

Boom, boom, boom

These shells were flowering shells, which fell everywhere near the cottage, and the explosion shook the ground, rocks rolled, black smoke billowed, and caused bursts of fire.

The pirates on the island panicked and scurried around, and they were even more panicked when they saw several ships approaching.

A group of people chatted together for a while, and ran to the back hill.

Wei Xizhuang looked at it in the binoculars and sneered: "Want to run? There are no doors! Surround the island for me, and not a single pirate is allowed to run! ”

Several other ships began to circle behind the island, apparently chasing the pirates who were running backwards.

After a while, Wei Xizhuang saw that there seemed to be no human figure on the island, waved his hand, and said: "Stop the shelling, go ashore, and whoever does not surrender will be punished on the spot!" ”

"Yes!"

This is not the first pirate that Wei Xizhuang has suppressed, his men are familiar with the way, pick up their weapons and follow the ship to the island, ready to attack the island.

Wei Xizhuang soon landed on the island, and there were only about a hundred bandits on this island, except for those who were killed and disabled, the others were scattered as birds and beasts, and they ran away.

Wei Xizhuang ordered people to enter the stockade on the one hand, and at the same time ordered people to search for the remnants of pirates on the whole island.

There were more than 1,000 people in Wei Xizhuang, and it was easy to eliminate more than 100 pirates.

Not long after, there were battles all over the island, and many pirates surrendered and were escorted to Wei Xizhuang, muttering something with a fierce face.

Wei Xizhuang listened to the headache and looked behind him.

Immediately, a man who understood the Japanese language stepped forward and said, "My lord, they say that they are from the Satsuma Domain, and we are declaring war on the Satsuma Domain, asking us to release them and apologize." ”

Wei Xizhuang plucked out his ears and said, "This is a declaration of war?" Chop off their heads and hang them on the flagpoles. ”

The Japanese people couldn't understand Chinese, and they thought that Wei Xizhuang was sparing his head, hesitating, raising his head more and more, and muttering threatening words.

Before they could finish speaking, they were dragged out and beheaded one by one. One by one, their eyes widened, and they were hung on high poles in shock and fear.

Wei Xizhuang snorted and said, "I don't know what to say, it's really annoying." ”

He Qishou could only smile bitterly, and then watched the soldiers carry out boxes of things in this stockade.

The soldiers counted, and the people outside came to report, saying, "My lord, it's cleaned up, there should be a few people who have dived and run away." ”

Wei Xizhuang didn't care at all, and looked at the big box that was lifted out.

He Qishou counted it and sighed: "The owner, 13,000 silver, 2,000 gold, other jade, pearls, grain, and some things from Xiyi, to say the least, are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver." ”

Wei Xizhuang raised his eyebrows, stood up and looked at it, and said, "No wonder Lao Zhou asked me to suppress the bandits, all of them are so fat, is there any pirate place around?" ”

He Qishou was choked, and before he could speak, a soldier said, "My lord, according to the information we have obtained, there are more than a dozen nearby." ”

Wei Xizhuang straightened up and said, "Then what are you waiting for, carry on the boat and go!" ”

The soldiers didn't expect the silver to come so easily, and there would be tens of thousands of taels of money if they put a few cannons, so they responded one after another and followed Wei Xizhuang to the ship again.

In just one month, Wei Xizhuang swept away more than 20 islands near the Satsuma Domain, exterminated thousands of pirates, seized nearly 100,000 taels of property, and returned to Tianjin Wei with a full load.

Wei Xizhuang didn't know how much movement his move had caused in the entire Wa Kingdom in the Satsuma Domain.

The Satsuma clan and the Wa Kingdom even thought that the Ming Dynasty was going to attack the Wa Kingdom, and the three generations of the Tokugawa family, who had just ascended to the throne, were busy cleaning up the major names, and when they heard that there was a sailor in the Ming Dynasty, they panicked for a while, and sent a team of envoys to the Ming Dynasty Jingshi.

Zhou Mansion.

The Zhou family is now full of festivities, red hanging colors everywhere, and there is an endless stream of maids coming and going.

"Fauber, we know it's wrong, so let us come back......"

At the gate of Zhou's mansion, a husband and wife knelt on the ground and cried to Fu Bo.

This is the couple who resolutely chose to leave when the Zhou family was in trouble.

Fu Bo said lightly: "Master Zhishi, the second young master resigns, the eldest young master is outside, our Zhou family is much worse than before, I am not qualified to keep you, you can go wherever you want." ”

The man hurriedly said: "Fu Bo, our countryside has been hit by a disaster, there is nowhere to go, I beg you, read on the love for many years, let us come back, the old man is the most benevolent, he will definitely take us in, Fu Bo begs you, intercede with the old man......"

Fu Bo's expression was suddenly indifferent, he took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms, threw them over, and said: "Where to go back and forth, the second young master is going to get married, if you make it ugly, don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

The man looked at Fu Bo's indifferent look, and his heart was cold, he knew that this Zhou family housekeeper was quite ruthless when he was indifferent.

But the woman hurriedly picked up the silver and looked at the man timidly.

The man's eyes flickered, he gritted his teeth, stood up and turned to leave.

At this time, a maid came over and said, "Fu Bo, there are some things over there at the second young lady's house, please take a look." ”

Fu Bo's indifferent face suddenly bloomed like a flower, and he said with a smile: "Okay, go and have a look." ”
