Chapter 289: Captured Alive
Li Jiqian led people through the woods, and for the time being, it seemed that they were safe, but Li Jiqian's heart was cold: it was estimated that it would be difficult for them to escape. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Jiqian thought in his heart: The government of the Ming Kingdom is really prepared, although there is a shortage of people in the urgency, but the places that should be guarded against have already begun to be prepared.
At this time, their group had been running for a long time, and everyone was tired. Li Jiqian saw that there were no pursuers behind him, and ordered everyone to rest.
Hearing Li Jiqian's words to let them rest, everyone who was already tired immediately collapsed to the ground, not wanting to move.
Li Jiqian called a few small leaders and his sister Li Sha'er over and said to them: "The government of the Ming Kingdom is really prepared, it is estimated that the road to the port has been blocked, and the brothers who stayed in the port are estimated to have been caught by the government of the Ming Kingdom." ”
"In the current situation, it is estimated that going to the port is self-defeating, and the only way to go north to the Yangtze River and cross the river to Chongming Island."
Hua Xiong, one of the small leaders, said: "Big brother, then don't care about the brothers on the port ship? ”
Li Jiqian said sternly to him: "Are you the first day to be a pirate!" When you encounter a situation where you can't save it anymore, you have to rush to death! ”
Hua Xiong said: "However, we are not sure whether they have been caught. However, his voice became quieter and quieter, because they reasoned according to Li Jiqian's train of thought, it was indeed impossible for the Ming government to let go of the ship they left in the port.
Li Jiqian saw that no one else spoke, and said: "Now it is estimated that it is almost the time of Yin, everyone will rest for half an hour, no, take half of the hour, and then all set off and go to the Yangtze River." ”
"And everyone scattered and ran away, so let's run out one by one." Li Jiqian sighed. This time, their preparation was still not sufficient, and it was probably impossible for everyone to run out.
========================================================
Although Li Jiqian's premise for making all these judgments was wrong, the ship in the port had indeed been detained at this time, and everyone had been caught.
All this is thanks to Sun Bozhi, the general flag on duty later. Sun Bozhi is the chief banner, although he is also reluctant to be on duty, but he is still very serious and responsible. There is still some distance between the station of the rear post and the port that opens the sea, and the port is very important now, so three small flags are on duty at the rear post and two small flags are on duty at the port.
Sun Bozhi stayed at the Housho station for a while, and then took two soldiers to the port to inspect it. The soldiers of the two small flags in the port naturally thought it was incredible. Although none of them left their posts without permission, no one was seriously on duty, they all got together to play, and some were drunk and slept everywhere.
Sun Bozhi said a few words to them, and asked them to restore order immediately. Because Sun Bozhi usually has a lot of prestige in his own banner and is not stingy, even if everyone is full of reluctance, they all pack up, stop drinking, and assign people to go out on duty.
Sun Bozhi is not too strict because of this New Year's holiday, seeing that they are still obedient, he instructed: "I'm leaving, don't be like just now, anyway, I will be on duty for a day until the fifteenth day of the first month, and the person who will take over tomorrow morning will come home and drink as much as he wants, isn't it better than drinking here?" Tomorrow night I have a treat and invite my brothers to drink. ”
Then he was going to leave. But just as he had just gone out, and had not gone far, he saw a medium-sized ship with people preparing as if it were about to leave the port.
Sun Bozhi immediately became suspicious. At this time, who will sail away? What can be so urgent? So he ordered the soldiers on duty to inquire.
The ship to be started is naturally Li Jiqian's ship. When the man who remained on the boat saw an officer and soldier approaching, he immediately became nervous, and as soon as the officer and soldier got on board, they arrested him and hastened their preparations for sailing.
Sun Bozhi also reacted quickly, and when he saw their movements, he knew that there must be a problem, so he ordered to start a ship belonging to Housuo, drove to the middle of the port to block the road, and sent someone to shoot at the ship with igniting arrows, burning the sails they hung up.
They put down the boat again and tried to escape in the boat. But it was too late in time, Sun Bozhi commanded the boat in the back station to drive to the vicinity of their ship, even if the boat was lowered, they would sink you as soon as they hit it.
At the same time, Sun Bozhi sent someone to inform his boss, and also sent someone to ask the people left behind in the station to come over to help.
At this moment, Wei Huo also rushed here with more than a dozen people. As soon as Wei Huo saw this situation, he immediately made a decision, and immediately began to let his people join the encirclement and suppression of Li Jiqian's people who stayed on the dock, and took over the command of the scene.
After a few people were killed, the rest were captured, and Wei Huo ordered the soldiers to tie them all up and lock them up in the house where the soldiers who violated military discipline were held for the time being, and wait until tomorrow to discuss with Zhang Yanfang before disposing of them.
At this time, Han Guang arrived here belatedly.
Wei Huo didn't have time to explain the matter carefully with Han Guang, and rushed back with people to support the arrest of Li Jiqian. At this time, it was almost dawn, and it was just in time for the arrest.
Han Guang saw that he felt that the matter here was pacified by Wei Huo's command, and he was suspected of dereliction of duty, so in order to make up for his mistakes, he also brought the soldiers who had been assembled to follow.
========================================================
Li Jiqian, with his sister Li Sha'er and a few others, quietly came to the edge of the woods, observed carefully for a while, and felt that there were no soldiers guarding here, and then took advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet dawn, and rushed out of the woods to the Yangtze River.
Li Sha'er was very nervous, she had not experienced such a dangerous time since she was born; The previous time he was pursued at sea, although it was also very dangerous, but there was always the possibility of desperate efforts, and it could always cause some damage to the officers and soldiers of the Ming Kingdom; But now if you are discovered by the cavalry and catch up, you can't even resist, you can only wait for death.
They rushed to a place not far from the river, and then found a tall reed bush to hide and look out towards the river.
At this time, the sky was already dark, and I saw that there was a soldier of the Ming Kingdom patrolling every dozen zhang by the river, and it was impossible not to alarm the soldiers to run into the river.
They waited for a while, but they saw more and more people coming to the river, and many of them were not soldiers, but people from various villages. It turned out that at this time, Li Jiqian had already mobilized the villagers of each village, and the villagers of each village jointly defended according to the law of protecting armor set by 2. From the words of passers-by, it can be known that many people have been caught. Those who did not resist were captured alive, and those who resisted and injured others were mostly killed on the spot even if they later laid down their weapons.
Li Jiqian listened to them talk about executing his brother, his heart was like a knife, and he wanted to rush out and kill them; The same goes for the brothers on the side. But they are all people who have experienced life and death, and in the end they endured it.
Finally, they waited until one of the people on duty by the river went to pee, and the people next to them also patrolled to the other end, leaving only one person to guard.
Li Jiqian knew that as more and more people came, they would have to search the reeds by the river sooner or later, and they would not be able to hide when the time came. So I gave the people around me a look. Brotherhood around you.
They rushed out in a hurry, and Li Jiqian went up to grab the man by the river, and then waved his hand to cover his mouth. But the soldier shouted before his mouth was covered, attracting the attention of the others.
Li Jiqian's secret way is not good, but at this time, the people next to him have been alarmed and rushed here.
Li Jiqian didn't dare to go into the water, knowing that there was actually no way out, he planned to fight to the death, and waved his knife to end up with the soldier in his hand, who looked at him with a very frightened gaze.
But as soon as Li Jiqian turned around, he saw his sister Li Sha'er. Although she pretended to be calm, the panic in her eyes could not be concealed.
Li Jiqian's heart suddenly softened. His own sister is only sixteen years old after the New Year, and she hasn't experienced anything, she shouldn't have died here, she was captured by the Ming army, so there is still a glimmer of hope for life, even if she goes to be ##, it is better than dying here. There is always hope. Their people at sea do not have as many useless rules and old ideas as the Han people on land.
So Li Jiqian sighed, threw down the knife, let go of the person in his hand, and grabbed it. Although the brothers who had been following him were puzzled, out of trust in Li Jiqian, they also threw down their weapons and were captured.
The soldiers who came next to them all leaned over tremblingly at first, even when they saw Li Jiqian and they threw down their weapons, they were still very afraid, until they found that they would not resist, so they rushed up and tied them up.
At this time, someone recognized Li Jiqian as the number one person on the wanted list, and these soldiers immediately cheered: This time the reward must be indispensable! Maybe he'll be promoted!
Under normal circumstances, when they saw such a beautiful little girl as Li Sha'er, they would definitely do something, and maybe something more serious would happen. But because he was caught together with Li Jiqian, they just spent a lot of money, and then escorted Li Jiqian and others to Shanghai City.
========================================================
On the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, the entire Shanghu County, as well as the young men of Qingpu County, which had just been established, mobilized to arrest Li Jiqian and his group with the soldiers of the three guard posts stationed in the two counties. All places in both prefectures were searched to make sure nothing slipped through the net.
In the end, all Li Jiqian's people were caught, and some were killed, and their bodies were thrown into the mass graves. Those arrested were successively escorted to the Shanghai City Bosi or the Shanghu County Ya.
