Chapter 444: Hidden Worries

Ma Du pointed to the corpse at his feet and asked, "Is this the leader of the Wakos, Murasho Qing?" ”

Mao Xiang nodded, "Exactly, the captive widow has been identified." ”

Looking at the handle of the knife on his back, Ma Du couldn't help but smack his lips, "The Japanese are not monolithic, and no one can stop the knife stabbed in the back." In the end, he is also a hero of the sea, let him die and throw him into the sea to feed the fish. ”

"Dashuai, there are more than 1,000 Japanese prisoners on the big ship of the Japanese Invaders, how to deal with them?"

"I still need to ask, and when I go back to see off my brother who died in battle, I will be a sacrifice."

Liao Yongan came out of the back warehouse and asked with a smile: "Has the result of this battle been counted, and what is the outcome of the battle?" ”

"About seven or eight thousand enemies were killed, more than 50 large ships were captured, and a number of military funds were captured. About 200 officers and men of our army were wounded, about 38 were killed in battle, and countless ammunition was expended, and they were almost hollowed out. ”

Thinking that when he went back to buy ammunition from the imperial court, he had to be extorted a large amount of money by Lao Zhu, Ma Du couldn't help but feel pain, if it wasn't for the capture of so many warships, Ma Du would have the mind to jump into the sea.

Liao Yongan looked around in the cabin and saw that there was no one around, and suddenly lowered his voice very low, "I heard that you didn't pursue the remnants of the Japanese Kou, should you not want to raise your own respect." ”

Ma Du glared at him back, "Old Liao, don't talk nonsense, I didn't pursue the Japanese Kou, first, the strength is insufficient, and the pursuit of the troops under the black light is easy to cause unnecessary casualties, and the second is that there is really not much ammunition, so you must always leave some defense." ”

"I'm just kidding you, see how nervous you're looking."

"This kind of joke can't be made, if the emperor knows, he won't cut off my head."

"No, since you have a valid reason, there's nothing wrong with that. You've been busy all night, go back and rest, I'll be in charge here. ”

"Hmm." Madu nodded and said, "If you have any discomfort, call me." ”

Madu got up and went into the back compartment, closed the hatch by the way, and took out a fire thistle terrestris that did not explode from the small crocodile leather bag he was carrying.

Madu pulled out the fuse that was only half burned, took a little bit of the gunpowder inside, poured it on the paper, and opened it with his fingers to see, yes, it was the best ratio of black powder.

He couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, and said in his heart: "Zhang Shicheng, if you have a spirit in the sky, give your concubine a dream, don't touch my moldy head again, don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes." ”

In addition to Lao Zhu, there is only Zhang Shicheng who has the best gunpowder ratio in the world, and it is not surprising that it will fall into the hands of the Japanese Kou, Zhang Shicheng has left a way out at sea.

According to the information tortured by Mao Xiang, there are also a group of thousands of Han pirates in the East China Sea, with neat armor and strong combat power, and powerful firearms.

These Han pirates are mysterious and self-contained, and only join forces with them when they are plundering. Most of the Japanese did not know their background, only that the leader of the other party was called Liu Tong, and they did not even know which island they were stationed on.

But Ma Du can guess their identities with his toes, Zhang Shicheng gave himself a big gift before he died, through the correspondence, Ma Du generally understands the situation of this group, the leader of the other party is not Liu Tong, but Zhang Shicheng's concubine in his early years.

For this group of people, Ma Du really didn't want to provoke, for fear of piercing the hornet's nest. Back then, he let Zhang Shicheng's two sons go, and told them that Zhang Shicheng had left him at sea.

Baijin said hard at the time that she would not take her two children to the jealous woman, but it was not easy for her, a woman who grew up in the deep palace, to survive with two pampered children, so she might go to the sea in desperation.

If the Ming army accidentally caught Zhang Shicheng's son, if he asked about the escape back then, Ma Du felt that his head might not be safe. For this group of people, Ma Du didn't want to provoke them at all, and he couldn't wait to hide away.

He couldn't help but think of Zhang Zongzhao, that cute child shouldn't be allergic anymore if he doesn't eat eggs, I hope he is safe and healthy, and it's best not to come to sea.

Madu lay on the bed and fell asleep in his thoughts, I don't know how long he slept, he smelled the smell of meat in a daze, and his stomach was bulging.

Reluctantly opened his eyes, only to see a piece of lean meat suspended in front of him, Zhang Wuliu took chopsticks and dangled on the tip of Ma Du's nose, and when he saw Ma Du waking up, he smiled and said: "Master Hou got up to eat, Liao Dashuai rewarded the three armies, today I ate rice, all the dishes are meat without bean sprouts, I picked all the lean meat for you." ”

Ma Du took the chopsticks and put the meat in his mouth, and when he saw that the cabin was lit up, and the ship was floating together, he asked casually, "What time is it?" Have you already returned home? ”

"It's evening, the sky is very overcast, and I have turned back to Penghu." Zhang Wuliu handed a large white porcelain bowl to Ma Du, half of which was rice and half lean meat, "Eat it, we've all eaten it." ”

Zhang Wuliu is a typical greedy stomach, obviously his stomach is bulging, but when he sees others eating, he looks at it and drools on the sidelines, which makes people very unappetizing.

Madu only ate half a bowl and gave him the rest, and he went out of the cabin to breathe, and the sky was not yet dark, and he saw that the lead clouds in the sky were gloomy and terrible, and he couldn't help but say, "This is going to be a storm!" ”

Lao Liu at the door of the cabin turned his head, "Master Hou woke up, and I heard those sailors who sailed on the sea all year round say that there was a storm." ”

"That's okay boat, don't hurry up and find an island and reef to stop, and it's not too late to go when the wind and rain stop."

"Master Hou doesn't have to worry, I heard those sailors say that this kind of weather will generally only rain heavily, even if the wind is not very strong, it will not affect the ship, and it is like this when encountering a north-south wind exchange."

Madu glanced over the deck, "Why do I think there are fewer people on board?" ”

Lao Liu said with a smile: "Hou Ye's eyes are like torches, didn't we capture a lot of Japanese ships, fifty ships, many of them have been damaged, and there are always manpower to drive them, and more than half of the people on our ships have gone." ”

Ma Du leaned on the side of the ship, turned his head and looked back at the long fleet of ships, and it was difficult to express the excitement in his heart, "This is what the navy should look like!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered an uproar in his ears, and the downpour fell suddenly.
