Zhao Chuyi threw off his arms and rowed forward desperately, he wanted to board the two big ships two hundred steps away in the fastest time, Liu Tong was standing at the stern waiting for their arrival.

Compared to Zhao Chu's movements, he opened the purse in his hand and looked at it, it was filled with the jade fish, he smiled and stuffed it into his sleeve, held the sculls and rowed back.

Even a big old man like Zhao Chuyi can see the doorway, how could Ma Du not understand it, the meaning of a woman giving a man's purse could not be more clear, not to mention that there is a jade fish that is very important to Zhang Minzhu inside.

Lao Tzu is really charming, and even enemies can be conquered, but the slightly rapid heartbeat in his heart tells him that Zhang Minzhu seems to be more than emotional, is it true love or Stockholm syndrome? Ma Du himself didn't know very well, he always felt that Zhang Minzhu would come to him again.

There was a crisp sound of a pistol behind him, and Ma Du knew that Zhang Minzhu had boarded the ship. Zhang Wuliu jumped to his feet on the shore angrily, "The stinky lady of the son of a bitch still dares to plot, Master Hou, hurry up, let's shoot her when we get ashore!" ”

Without much effort, Mado swept him ashore with the tide around the boat, while the cannon on the side rumbled, and scattered and solid shells poured down towards the two large ships in the distance.

The Japanese took advantage of the confrontation between the Ming army and Zhang Minzhu's men on the hill and snatched six artillery pieces, and two of them fell into the sea. The five big ships parked at sea were also unavoidable, and only two were left, all of which were asked by Zhang Minzhu, and now there were only a bunch of small broken boats on the beach, and the Ming army had no ability to chase after them.

Zhang Wuliu and the deflated head hurriedly helped Ma Du down from the boat, and said with a deflated head: "Master Hou, you can be regarded as coming back alive, otherwise the little one will jump into the sea directly here and go back without the face." ”

Ma Du scolded and got off the boat, "This group of bitches raised them, when Lao Tzu catches them, kill them all!" ”

Zhang Wuliu added: "And that little girl, let him warm the bed for Master Hou!" ”

Ma Du arched his hand to Liao Yongan, "This time I accompanied me to the sea, and you became Zhang Shicheng's prisoner, I'm really sorry." ”

"Zhang Shicheng's prison has been in prison for ten years, and it is nothing if it is only a few days, but thanks to your dealings with them, the brothers have not been harmed. I estimated that their lair was not far from here, and when Lao Liu brought Qi Xiang and them here, I would look for them nearby to exterminate them and relieve their hatred. ”

"That's the best!" Madu pretended to be resentful and gritted his teeth.

Ma Du didn't want to risk taking a small boat back to Penghu, two hundred people had been waiting on the island, and it took almost ten days for Lao Liu to bring Qi Xiang over.

For the first time, Ma Du didn't pick fat and thin, held a bowl of rice and stuffed a large piece of fat into his mouth, ate it with a mouth full of oil, and said vaguely: "Lao Liu, get up, aren't we all fine." It's not easy to find an island in the vast sea, and it's useless to blame them. ”

It is not to blame Lao Liu for the late arrival of the large army, it is true that as Ma Du guessed, Qi Xiang and the others have been wandering around the Ryukyu Islands and Miyako Islands with their boats, delaying the time for Lao Liu to contact them, and after arriving in the nearby waters, they got lost again, and did not find this small island, so it took so long.

Lao Liu knelt on the ground and cried: "If the Hou Ye is bad, I can't explain to my family, and I can't explain to the emperor's mother, so the Hou Ye will let me kneel and feel more comfortable." ”

"You feel comfortable, but we don't feel comfortable eating, hurry up." Ma Du put down his job and helped Lao Liu up, "Look at a few of them who should be responsible for it, as if they were nothing." ”

Chang Mao turned the grilled fish on the bonfire, "Uncle, you have wronged us to death, we are crazy to find you." ”

"Cut, Yuanmu begging for a fart is useful, no matter how hard you work, it's useless!"

"Uncle, don't bury people, we almost even found their lair, if it weren't for Lao Liu's letter, we would have gone straight to their lair, Mao Xiang, you tell your uncle."

Ma Du looked at Mao Xiang and said in surprise: "You have found their lair!" ”

"Well, after the accident, we reported to the court and looked for the two governors. From the very beginning, his subordinates set their sights on the three Ryukyu countries, and they were indispensable to where they were going to be, whether it was to trade or buy daily necessities......"

I have to say that Mao Xiang is an excellent spy, not only with courage but also with vision. Originally, the location of Penghu was supposed to be a turnover trade center on the sea, but because the Japanese invaders made a lot of trouble and did not deliberately develop commerce, the status it should have was replaced by the Ryukyus.

The Ryukyus were Okinawa in later generations, but now they have nothing to do with the Japanese countries, and there are three countries here, although they are small but capable of dealing with the Japanese invaders, so they have become the maritime trade center of East Asia by virtue of their superior geographical location.

After Mao Xiang brought people to Ryukyu, he asked the lords of the three kingdoms to collect clues and information for them, and after hearing that the army defeated the Murakami sailor and became the new overlord of the sea, the lords of the three kingdoms naturally agreed without a mouth, and while letting people go to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute and be a minister, they helped the Ming army find people.

As Mao Xiang said, as long as you can't get around Ryukyu at sea, it didn't take long to catch some Suzhou merchants who often buy daily necessities in Ryukyu in large quantities. Suzhou people may buy foreign goods here, but they will never buy the daily necessities used by nearly 10,000 people.

Mao Xiang quickly got the result under torture, these businessmen were the remnants of Zhang Shicheng, Mao Xiang and they were about to go to Zhang Minzhu's lair, so they hooked up with Lao Liu, and then went straight here.

Liao Yongan was surprised and asked, "There are nearly 10,000 of them?" ”

Mao Xiang replied: "Yes, in addition to three or four thousand soldiers, there are thousands of family members, as if it has become a small country, and in Luzon, tomorrow I will set off with my relatives and brothers, smash their lair, and then give anger to the two governors." ”

"Good!" Liao Yongan patted Mao Xiang and said: "You kid is capable, go back and ask the emperor for credit." ”

Because Mao Xiang served Liao Yongan diligently in Pingjiang, the relationship between the two was very good, if it was not for Mao Xiang's special status, Liao Yongan even wanted to accept him as a righteous son.

Zhang Wuliu interjected: "Don't forget to catch that little lady back and warm the bed for my family." ”

Ma Du twitched at him, "Don't talk nonsense, that little lady is also a princess, and she wants to commit taboos." He looked at Zhang Minzhu in his heart, and didn't take his words as a deaf ear, and transferred them early

Liao Yongan laughed and said: "You are too cautious, that little girl has no name and no point, who knows if Zhang Shicheng is born or not, and the emperor will not care." If you don't want me to accept Lao Liao, it can be regarded as revenge for Zhang Shicheng's imprisonment for ten years! ”
