Jiangnan, the richest and most densely populated cake of the Ming Empire, is now swallowed up by Mao Jue, from the easternmost Nanzhili of the sea, all the way to the westernmost Chongqing, the vast land north of the Pearl River also belongs to the black banner of the Ming Dynasty in the north.

But seeing that the unification of the empire is just around the corner, those provinces that have not yet been included in the rule are still unwilling to set off waves, so that a storm force that Mao Jue did not expect is brewing.

Fujian, Lianjiang County, beach.

Even if it was late at night, the wet beach was still full of people, in the thick darkness, the chaotic footsteps stepped on the sea water and rattled, I don't know how many people fled forward in panic, not far away, a blazing fire dragon chased them, and from time to time there could be excited shouts and gunshots.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's strategy of dividing the princes in various places has worked, the world is full of princes of the Ming court, Li Zicheng captured the Beijing Division, destroyed Chongzhen's northern court, Fu Wang Zhu Yousong was immediately enthroned as the emperor with the support of the six departments of Nanjing, and reorganized the rule, Nanjing is now falling, and the landlords and local bureaucrats of Donglin who fled south are re-emerging like broken earthworms.

On the seventeenth day after the surrender of Emperor Hongguang, He Tengjiao, the governor of Liangguang, supported Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang who fled here in the south, as the emperor, and established the name Longwu, and once again had to fight against the Northern Dynasties.

However, if you just build a dynasty, with Mao Jue's lazy character, at least you will ignore him this year, and you can spend the first year of Longwu, but I don't know if you feel good about yourself, or if the emperor's promotion has swelled, just after the establishment of the number, Zhu Yujian, the emperor of Longwu, and He Tengjiao, the first assistant scholar, the second assistant Huang Daozhou, and the benevolence of the king of Shangzhu commanded the "170,000" army, and went straight to Fuzhou to take Fuzhou as the imperial capital.

To be honest, this strategy is also right, if you defend the two Guangzhou, you must defend Fujian! Relying on the danger of Xianxialing, the only problem is that Zhu Yujian didn't see his strength clearly.

Where is Fuzhou? One Piece Zheng Zhilong's lair, although this city nominally belongs to Mao Jue, but in fact it is almost handed over to him for autonomy, and many pirates in the South China Sea are entrenched here, and it is actually a pirate autonomous city here.

At this time, the Ming pirates have evolved to the same as the British pirates in the Victorian era, a large group of sub-ship owners and cargo owners are national pirates with privateer licenses, the Ming Navy is still in Southeast Asia next to the Indian Ocean this generation of blind wandering, but their footprints have reached the Red Sea, around the Cape of Good Hope to the west coast of Africa, while bringing their own goods to sell, on the other hand to rob the Mughal Empire, Egypt Mamluk Dynasty, Spain, France, Venice Genoa and other enemy merchant ships, and even as far as the Allied Britain mainland, The romantic days of licking blood and earning gold coins at the tip of the knife at sea are mixed, and the pirate uncles are not easy to mess with.

The Battle of Fuzhou is estimated to be the first strange battle in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and even the Fuzhou garrison of the two regiments under the command of the Governor of Fuzhou and Hailing Duke Zheng Zhilong did not come out to respond to the battle, and even Fuzhou did not even close the city gate, so he directly let these peasant troops under Zhu Yujian enter the city.

Then a group of poor jingles, put down their hoes, picked up swords and spears, and the guards who entered the city to plunder with joy found themselves in the wolf's den!

Bang dang~

The door of the street tavern was slammed open, and the two peasant soldiers, who had just entered with excitement, kicked back with the same speed, rolled around the street a few times, and spat out a mouthful of blood with teeth.

Then, inside the crooked door, a big pirate brother wearing a three-legged hat, a tattered sailor's robe, several large gold chains full of social atmosphere around his neck, and a pigtail on his head, carried a wine bottle in one hand and a scimitar in the other, and walked out slowly and slowly in a daze.

The one who was beaten was still a petty officer, covering his bloody mouth, and he waved his knife angrily and pointed forward: "Diao people and bandits dare to attack the officers and soldiers!" Kill them!"

Listening to his shouting, hundreds of soldiers of the Guangwei Station outside nervously pulled their spears down the tree in a row, however, one by one shouted Hi, but none of them had the courage to come up and fight.

If the guards had relied on, they would not have let the 47 Japanese invaders defeat tens of thousands of officers and soldiers and kill them under the city of Nanjing.

In the heroic roar of a group of officers and soldiers, the big pirate brother woke up a little, and the little fingers of the hand holding the wine bottle clasped his ears, and he began to shout in Min language.

"Brethren, drink enough to move your arms for the event! The dragon head can open a head of thirty taels of silver, which is much easier than us going in the wind and rain! Come on! Cut the silver!"

In the frightened eyes of a group of guards, suddenly, in the windows of the tavern, in the cracks of the doors, countless black short guns were stuffed out.

The crackling sound was like the explosion of firecrackers, and the soldiers of the Liangguang Guard, who were still eyeing there with spears, seemed to have been smashed by an invisible fist, and a large group of people spat blood flew out, followed by countless drunken pirates carrying scimitars and short guns in the tavern, and rushed out viciously.

With a click, the frightened and paralyzed little officer was stepped on his chest, and his head was cut off directly, carrying his hair in one hand, the pirate brother with the human head smiled and bared out a mouthful of rotten teeth, snorted, and did not parry a few times, hundreds of soldiers of the Liangguang Guard threw their weapons, turned around and fled.

This scene happened everywhere in the streets and alleys of Fuzhou City, a fierce outlaw took the fight as a game, with a freshly cut off human head hanging from his waist, smiling teeth and claws with bloody pirate scimitars, baring his teeth and screaming and rushing out, in front of them, those farmers who had just put down their hoes cried for their fathers and shouted for their mothers' deaths.

On the other hand, I thought that the soldiers had taken Fuzhou City without blood, He Tengjiao was still surrounded by the Huangluo umbrella cover of Emperor Longwu, and the emperor's car drove to the city gate, and in the north gate of Fuzhou, tens of thousands of defeated soldiers rushed out like a flood at once, and the "170,000" army of the Longwu Dynasty was so defeated.

This brings us to the opening scene.

The sound of chasing and killing behind him is getting closer and closer, the sailors are tired and tired to follow Europe, only a few dozen taels of silver a year, this cut off a head, a small half a year's income, risk-free high income, I don't know how many pirates are chasing after them excitedly, falling behind, the screams of the guards who were cut off by the scimitar before death are also like ghosts, Emperor Longwu is a little bloody, looking back at these fire dragons with teeth and claws, Zhu Yujian desperately pulled out the Shang Fang sword he was wearing and rested on his neck, Stretching out his hand to wipe his neck, He Tengjiao was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed the hilt of the sword and grabbed the sword with an arrow step, shouting in horror.

"Your Majesty! How so! ”

"I am a noble son of heaven, how can I be humiliated by the hands of these despicable and filthy thieves!!"

Pulling the hilt of the sword, Zhu Yujian couldn't stop roaring violently. Although he has been imprisoned in Fengyang Prison for several years and has suffered a lot, how has he seen this scene of white knives entering and red knives coming out, harvesting human heads like wheat, his whole body trembled violently with fear.

"Your Majesty, we're not there yet! We still have reinforcements! ”

Holding Zhu Yujian's thighs, he was also trembling with fear, He Tengjiao couldn't stop shouting, but it was Long Wu who roared.

"There are reinforcements! Where are the reinforcements? ”

Reinforcements? There really is!

Running until his feet were weak, he fell to the ground at once, and a panting guard couldn't help but slam his head on the ground in horror, but he didn't even have a trace of pity, his waist was full of human heads, and several pirates were viciously shaking the scimitars on their wrists and forced them over, and as they walked, they actually discussed whose waist his head was hanging on.

But at this moment, the sound of rushing water came into the ears of these pirates, and there was a feeling of itching in the eardrums, and the pirates were too sensitive to this sound! He turned his head to the sea, and he didn't know who roared first.

"There are gunboats on the water! The gunboat of the feudal clan! Run away!!"

Bang~

Before the words fell, a large iron ball smashed into the pirate team chasing in the night, and under the darkness, those torches were scattered everywhere as if they had been smashed out by a bowling ball.

Boom ~ Boom ~ Tongues of fire sprayed out on the dark sea, heavy solid bullets, grape bullets, large and small chain bullets smashed on the beach like rain, for a while, the Fuzhou pirate department was turned on their backs, and the living ones hurriedly threw the torches in panic, scattered and fled back, fiercely chased and killed, and were smashed by the sudden artillery bombardment for a while.

hugged each other very basically, watching the swarthy battleship like the divine soldiers falling from the sky slowly approaching in the sea, Zhu Yujian and the two of them hugged each other and cried, hugged each other, and cried loudly.

…………

Zheng Zhilong's treasure sword is old, he has long lost the ambition of his youth, coupled with caution, after the pirate team was repelled by artillery fire, he was not busy sending troops to pursue, and waited until dawn, Fuzhou then released more than ten gunboats out of the port.

Yesterday it was the Fuzhou pirates who won, and when they came out of Fuzhou, the corpses of the soldiers of the Liangguang Guard, who had been cut off for dozens of miles, were lying in one row, and only in the position where they were shelled did there be the corpses of more than 100 pirates.

The boat stopped in the deep water area, dozens of boats were rowed ashore again, standing on the soft sand, Zheng Zhilong frowned and looked at the traces on the opposite side, the messy footprints disappeared on the seaside, and there were traces of boats dragging by, there should still be a few thousand people in the defeated army of Longwu, who could take this defeated army away, and the scale of the other party was obviously not small.

Just as Zheng Zhilong was looking, several pirates under his command were panting and carrying an iron ball full of blood and flesh, and ran over in a hurry.

Worthy of being an old pirate, he turned over with his feet on a solid iron cannonball, Zheng Zhilong's face had become more solemn, and he shook his head anxiously.

"Dutch! Do it to me!"
