Sleeping on a bumpy ship has the feeling of sitting on a rocking bed, which many soldiers and their families are not used to, and Li Xiao is the same. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

He didn't fall asleep until late at night, Fang fell asleep in the cabin that Hou Dao had arranged for him, but it was difficult to fall asleep, and when the biological clock reached the middle of the hour, Li Xiao naturally woke up.

Li Xiao got dressed and got up, and then went to the deck alone, the sky was still dark, only the dim light faintly reflected a silence, and from a distance, there was nothing to be seen in all directions.

Only a few sailors on duty in the bow cabin and the stern rudder room were still busy. Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh that the life of sailing at sea was indeed hard.

It was a whole hour before the sky brightened, but the sky was still cloudy, slightly revealing a pale red, and it looked like it was about to snow.

"Look! There's a boat coming over there! ”

When the whole army was having breakfast, suddenly, Li Xiao heard a soldier screaming.

Li Xiao was surprised to see that there were three ships flying the Sun and Moon flags of the Ming Army, and they were forming a semi-encircled battle formation, encircling his own lucky ship.

These three boats are the fleet of Shen Zhixiang's Ming Army Sailors who have followed Li Xiao's ships all night, and now they have finally shown their fangs.

Vice Adjutant Shen Zhixiang looked at the lucky boat walking slowly in front of him, his mouth almost drooped, and his eyes flashed with greed, as if he had seen a ship full of gold and silver goods beckoning to him.

A person who looked like a family member beside him carefully reminded: "Lord Adjutant General, in order to prevent fraud, it is better to bombard it first." ”

As soon as the housekeeper's voice fell, a fierce and powerful slap knocked him to the ground, and the housekeeper cried and covered his cheeks, and spat out two bloody teeth.

"Phew, you stupid x! Lao Tzu is asking this merchant ship to replenish the fleet, and if you hit this cannon, how much money will Lao Tzu spend to repair it! Shen Zhixiang rubbed his sore hands and spat fiercely at the fallen family.

"That's it, Lord Shen's martial arts are high, plus we have three ships and so many brothers, it's not easy to deal with such a merchant ship." Another personal entourage said to Shen Zhixiang flatteringly.

Shen Zhixiang looked proud, and Wang Tingrui and Yuan Anbang next to him glanced at each other with complicated eyes, and didn't say anything.

Li Xiao suddenly found that after these three ships appeared, Hou Dao's face beside him had changed greatly, and in such a cold day, there seemed to be a cold sweat secreting.

He turned around and said to Li Xiao anxiously: "My lord, this is the ship of the Ming army's sailors, and they are chasing after our army. ”

Li Xiao frowned and asked, "Could it be that the sailor is coming to the ship to check?" ”

Hou Dao wiped his sweat and said: "I think the same way. Strange, in the past, when the Ming army sailors saw the signs on my ship, they basically ignored them and asked me to pass by ourselves, but for some reason, they came to inspect our ship today. ”

Li Xiao's face was gloomy, and he no longer spoke to Hou Dao, then turned around and walked down the cabin, and gave the order to all the soldiers to prepare for battle.

All the soldiers quickly moved into action, put on their armor, took up their weapons, and then waited quietly in the cabin. Li Xiao instructed that after he issued the battle order, all the personnel would hug the deck and fight.

"Li Xiao, what's going on? Is there an enemy ship going to attack us? Zu Wan'er asked him with a serious face on the side.

"I don't think it's good, let's get ready for battle first. Wan'er don't be afraid, I'll take care of things. Li Xiao's face was tense and he comforted her softly.

The three Ming ships quickly approached, and seeing that they were only a few hundred paces away, Hou Dao, who was pale, hurriedly shouted to the cabin: "Quickly order all the oarsmen to stop, let them get on the boat and check, otherwise these sailors will open fire or collide with the angles, and our army will be finished." Anyway, we've already paid the water master protection money and bought a peace charm, so they shouldn't embarrass us. ”

Seeing the order of the deputy owner, the No. 2 Fu boat complied with the request and stopped.

The three menacing sailor ships immediately surrounded the No. 2 Fu boat, the No. 1 sailor came around and pushed in front of Li Xiaofu's boat to block the way, and the other two sailor ships clamped the Fu boat in the center one on the left and one on the right to prevent it from escaping from the side.

Then, from the No. 1 Fu boat, a long gangway protrudes to connect the two ships. As soon as the buckle was tightened, the No. 1 Fu Boat of the Navy Division and the No. 2 Fu Boat of Li Xiaojun were firmly combined into one.

Seeing that the merchant ship he was about to intercept had stopped so obediently for himself to inspect, Shen Zhixiang was in a very comfortable mood, and he took Wang Tingrui and Yuan Anbang, as well as a large group of sturdy Ming soldiers, and jumped into the merchant ship of Hou Dao through the gangway.

Seeing these soldiers on the boat, dressed in civilian clothes, Li Xiao, who had been observing coldly from the side, breathed a sigh of relief.

In his heart, in fact, he was most afraid that these Ming army sailors, who had always been arrogant, would fire two cannons without asking the reason as soon as they came over, and in this way, this defenseless fortune ship would be finished.

With a hard smile on his face, Hou Dao held a piece of vermilion kraft paper in his hand, and ran quickly towards Shen Zhixiang, who was looking around at the lucky ship.

"My lord, welcome to the ship, we are all businessmen, we have already purchased your peace charm, oh, here it is, please check it." Hou Dao smiled respectfully.

Shen Zhixiang tilted his head and glanced at him coldly, took the peace charm handed over by Hou Dao Bi respectfully, and looked at it pretendically, and then, with a sneer, he tore the peace charm in half and threw it on the ground.

"Ahh Your Excellency, you, what are you。。。。。 Hou Dao looked panicked, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his face.

"Hmph, you're the ship's owner, listen up. This official is Shen Zhixiang, the deputy general of Dongjiang Town, and now this official has established new rules, and the previous peace charms are no longer counted. Today, if you leave this merchant ship to this officer, it will be counted as a toll payment. As soon as the official is happy, he may spare you a small life, otherwise, he will definitely kill you all over the boat! Shen Zhixiang said with a cruel smile.

Hou Dao knelt down and begged: "Lord Shen, you can't do this!" This merchant ship is the foundation of a small life! This peace charm villain only bought it not long ago, and never dared to delay it a little. Your subordinates are merciful, my lord, and there are still some silver taels in the villain's boat, you can take them, and you must not 。。。。。。 ”

"Shut up!" Shen Zhixiang's face suddenly became hideous and terrifying: "You bullshit ship owner, don't give a damn toast and don't eat and drink!" Your boat, Lao Tzu is going to decide. If you dare to say half a word, Lao Tzu will chop you. Shen Zhixiang's words were scoundrel and fierce, he brushed out a feather knife from his waist, rested on Hou Dao's thin neck, the thick feather knife shining with cold light pressed down slightly, and the blood on Hou Dao's neck suddenly crawled out like a small snake.

Shen Zhixiang frowned suddenly, his nose twitched a few times, and suddenly, a pungent smell of human excrement came to his nose.

"You coward, you are so frightened that you pulled your pants, damn it, don't be ashamed here, Lao Tzu will send you to the west." Shen Zhixiang sneered, raised the sword on the ground, drew a miserable white cold light, and slashed straight towards Hou Dao's neck.

It's late, it's fast. A little cold light struck like a meteor catching the moon, and with a crisp sound, Shen Zhixiang's powerful downward slashing knife was knocked away!

Shen Zhixiang was shocked, the knife in his hand was almost knocked away, he was shocked and took a few steps back before stopping, and looked at the deck, a short and concise decapitation knife suddenly appeared in front of him.

Before Shen Zhixiang could curse a swear word, a tall cyan figure came quickly with a chilling sword light.

Shen Zhixiang's ears heard the whistling of the sharp blade cutting through the air more and more clearly, and hurriedly raised the knife to meet him, with a loud "ding" sound, a sharp steel tiger knife slashed fiercely on his own knife, Shen Zhixiang's mouth suddenly cracked, and the blood flowed, and he roared in pain.

A handsome and fierce face quickly appeared in front of Shen Zhixiang, this face was slightly distorted because of anger, and in those thick eyebrows, two angry flames could almost burn him.

The feather knife in Shen Zhixiang's hand could hardly withstand the knife momentum of this person falling hard, and at the moment when he gritted his teeth, Shen Zhixiang's lungs were about to explode.

Unable to bear it any longer, he dodged and retreated. Who knew that the tiger knife did not give up, and chased straight after, the sharp tip of the blade slashed through Shen Zhixiang's chest mercilessly, the thick cotton armor was cut, and a deep wound was cut on the strong and black hairy chest muscles, and blood immediately gushed outward.

Shen Zhixiang screamed miserably and fell to the ground. And the tip of the tiger knife, which was dripping blood, was already mercilessly pointing at his own throat, less than two fingers wide.

"Stop! Don't hurt Lord Shen! Everything in front of him happened too fast, so that Wang Tingrui and Yuan Anbang, at this time, Fang woke up, immediately pulled out his sword, and shouted in unison urgently.

The family members and soldiers around Shen Zhixiang seemed to have only reacted at this time, and they pulled out their knives one after another, and the tips of each knife in a circular shape were all pointed straight and fierce at Li Xiao.

At the same time, the Ming army on the other two sailor ships, seeing that there was an abnormal movement on the ship, also hurriedly set up a gangway, preparing to rush into Li Xiao's No. 2 lucky boat.

Li Xiao had already seen it clearly, a contemptuous sneer flashed on his face, and then he shouted: "All the soldiers go out of the cabin to fight!" ”

Soon, as the sound of footsteps came from the bottom to the top, a large number of soldiers wearing cotton armor or mandarin duck battle jackets, holding large shields or spears, quickly rushed to the deck, and then skillfully set up a gun and shield battle array.

On the side deck of the ship, it was as if there was a sudden silence. It's just that the air is so tense that it seems to explode.

"Competent! You guys just come forward and look at me Li Xiao, killing this guy will be soft! Li Xiao's face was fierce, and he said coldly to Wang Tingrui and Yuan Anbang.

Wang Tingrui and Yuan Anbang looked nervous and annoyed, clenching the swords in their hands, but they didn't dare to move. The Ming soldiers next to them also looked at each other.

"You just said, you are Li Xiao?" Shen Zhixiang on the ground gasped for breath, his face full of disbelief.

"That's right, Li Xiao, the head of the Ming Jinzhou Forward Battalion." Li Xiao groaned for a moment and replied coldly and clearly.

"You, are you the Li Xiao who annihilated the Tartar Sentinel and defeated the Tartar general Ashan?" Shen Zhixiang's voice trembled, and the ferocity of Fang Cai was completely gone, mixed with heavy doubt and fear.

"It's a contemptible person, it seems that Li's name is false, but it has spread far and wide, and even your Dongjiang Town knows about it." Li Xiao sneered teasingly.

"It's just that you are going south on this merchant ship, but where are you going?" Shen Zhixiang asked puzzled.

"Hmph, our army is going to Shandong on business, it's a confidential matter, why don't you need to ask more." Li Xiao said lightly.

Shen Zhixiang sighed, his head drooped, but his eyes rolled smartly, and he quickly said as if he was laughing at himself: "Alas, I said it." Everyone is a Ming official army, today's matter, but the water really washed the Dragon King Temple, and the family didn't recognize the family. ”

Li Xiao spat in disgust: "Phew, you bastard who robs ships and goods, and wants to kill people, is embarrassed to call yourself a Ming official and soldier, and you don't pee like you!" I, Li Xiao, am really ashamed to be with you! ”

Shen Zhixiang's face turned red instantly, and he smiled wryly, but he didn't know how to take over the words.

Yuan Anbang, who was on the side, hurriedly took over and said: "Mr. Li, Lord Shen is doing this, in fact, it is also to increase the number of ships of my sailors, so he made this plan. For the sake of everyone working for Daming, please let Master Li let Vice General Shen go. ”

"Oh, what if I don't let it go?" Li Xiao sneered.

"Li Xiao, you and I have no enmity recently, and there is no resentment in the past, why bother with each other so much! It is better to end today's matter, and the official apologizes to your army and makes amends. Seeing that Li Xiao's words were not good, Shen Zhixiang looked sad and hurriedly interjected.

Seeing Shen Zhixiang like this, Li Xiao's heart swelled with an inexplicable disgust.

He read the history of the Ming Dynasty in his previous life, and knew that this Shen Zhixiang was the nephew of Shen Shikui, the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, after Shen Shikui, the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town in the Ming Dynasty, was captured and killed by the Qing soldiers in Chongzhen ten years, this person gathered troops on Shicheng Island without Shen Shikui's seal and was not appointed by the imperial court, and called himself the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town.

Shen Zhixiang's audacity made Emperor Chongzhen very angry, so he sent troops to recruit Shen Zhixiang. Shen Zhixiang was defeated by the Ming army's offensive, so in February of the third year of Chongde, he sent Wu Chaozuo and Jin Guangyu to the Qing Dynasty to ask for surrender. Following Shen Zhixiang's surrender to the Qing Dynasty, there were nine deputy generals, eight soldiers, eighteen guerrillas, thirty-one commanders, thirty garrisons, forty thousand generals, two Zhusheng, and 2,500 soldiers and civilians. Seeing Shen Zhixiang come to vote, Huang Taiji was overjoyed and rewarded him, and a few years later, he was promoted to the title of Duke Shun.

Since then, Shen Zhishen has served the Qing Dynasty loyally, serving in the army from generation to generation, and making great contributions to the Qing Dynasty's entry into the customs and seizure of the world. His grandson, Shen Rui, became the chief soldier of Chaozhou of the Qing Army, and he was imposing. As a result, he was captured by the Ming Zheng army, and was killed after being escorted to Taiwan, which can be regarded as a belated retribution for this traitor whose hands were stained with the blood of the Han people.

Li Xiao secretly thought in his heart, he was still a fugitive, but there was no need to completely offend Dongjiang Town because of this matter, this hateful Shen Zhixiang, just leave him a dog's life temporarily.

"Shen Zhixiang, for everyone's sake, Li will spare you from dying today." Li Xiao snorted coldly, and Shen Zhixiang's face showed joy, but he heard Li Xiao continue: "However, Li really can't believe in you, if you let you go, if you attack again, won't our army be self-inflicted?" ”

Shen Zhixiang was shocked and confessed repeatedly: "Mr. Li, you are too careful, this official is here, and he will never embarrass your army again, and I hope that Mr. Li will let me go." ”

"Hmph, how can you believe that?" Li Xiao sneered: "Vice General Shen, in order to ensure that you and others will not cheat, Li has the courage to follow the example of Guan Yunchang coercing Lu Su to return to Jingzhou that day, and let Vice General Shen accompany Li to Shandong together. ”

"Huh?"

Shen Zhishen on the ground, and Wang Tingrui, Yuan Anbang and others on the side were all stunned.

Li Xiao didn't care so much, he took a step forward, picked up Shen Zhixiang, and went to the cabin.

"I went to Shandong, but it was more than a week, but I won't miss Vice General Shen's big event. Our army now has the sailor guard frame of Vice General Shen, and no one dares to harass Li during his trip to Shandong. Li Xiao's face showed a smile full of pleasure and sarcasm.

In the laughter of a group of Li Xiao's soldiers, Shen Zhixiang was like a sluggish puppet, allowing Li Xiao to carry himself into the cabin step by step, his face had a strange expression, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
