Chapter 53 Three Mountains Occupy Two Islands

Although Li Zhong's hands were tied, he also tried his best to straighten his chest, raised his head and said: "I have an old relationship with your general, and the old acquaintance is a misunderstanding!" If you have something to sit down and discuss, there are still some gold and silver treasures on the island, and I will take them out and divide them among the sergeants, and reward them for their hard work and tiredness! ”

This is like the aunt who condoled before the battle, and when she saw the sergeant who was like her own child, she completely forgot that he was the boss of this Xishan Island, and sending a boat out to rob a woman had nothing to do with him.

"Hahaha, which one are you singing, self-paralysis therapy? Does it hurt when the arrow hits the body? Do you want me to pull out two for you to wake up? Zhao Tianyou was amused by this Li Zhong, he had never seen such a begging for mercy.

"Don't general, it hurts, if you pull it out again, I'll die!"

"Okay then, pull it out and cut off your head, and you won't hurt!"

"Spare my life, general, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a ...... below."

Zhao Tianyou smiled slightly, waved his hand to the soldiers beside him, and the two soldiers nodded knowingly, stepped forward and grabbed Li Zhong's two arms and dragged them out.

"Spare your life, grandpa, I will be your grandson, and all the money on the island will be given to you, grandpa...... Spare your life! Li Zhong cried and begged for mercy, like killing a pig, he didn't see him working so hard when he was fighting.

"I'm still useful, General, I know the shipping lanes of the main island...... I know the Black Tiger Banner ......"

"Pull it back, spare him first!"

Li Zhong gambled, these two sentences really worked, at first he pretended to be stupid and pretended not to know that it was the Meng family's soldiers, and the trick of trying to get through the trick did not take effect. At the moment of life and death, his head flashed, the soldiers of Mengjiazhai killed Han Liutao, and now they have broken through Xishan Island, do you want to monopolize Sanshan Island! followed by two sentences, which really suspended the fate of beheading.

The cannon roared on Xishan Island, and the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, and the main island, which was not far away, had already noticed that something was wrong, but Xiao Tianxiong didn't care. The role of the east and west islands, for Xiao Tianxiong on the main island, is just a fig leaf for cooperation with Pu Shougeng, which can be discarded and replaced at any time, and it doesn't matter who is the owner of the island.

It's the New Year, and there are no merchant ships at sea, so it's the most peaceful month for pirates. The Xiao family has been in business for more than 100 years on the main island, and all the corresponding food, clothing, housing and transportation facilities are complete, and there are all kinds of brothels, teahouses, gambling houses, and theaters, so it can be said that it is a perfect town.

There are only 6,000 pirates on the island, but the total population has long exceeded 2,000. After years of operation, these pirates have taken root and have families and businesses, and most of them are professional pirates who inherit their father's business, so the combat effectiveness of the team is much higher than that of the other two islands. In several battles over the years, the Black Tiger flagship has never fallen behind even the officers and soldiers of the Quanzhou Naval Division.

The officials of the City Ship Division and the Quanzhou Navy Division General have changed countless times, but the owner of the Black Tiger Flagship has always been surnamed Xiao, and this cooperative relationship has also been broken several times, and the naval division's warships have also surrounded the main island several times. But there has never been a time when the Xiao family has been able to hurt the muscles and bones, not only relying on natural danger to defend, but also facing head-on at sea, and the warships of the sailors are not the opponents of pirates, and they have been beaten many times.

It is also very important that the island has accumulated a lot over the years, the money bag is large enough, and the local merchants have close contacts, and people will come to the door to do business if they lack anything. Besides, pirates are originally a business without capital, and there are tens of thousands of merchant ships going back and forth from Quanzhou Port a year, and a few of them are very profitable.

Of course, one thing is very strange, the Xiao family has never sought to become bigger in the past hundred years, you see Zhu Qing and others on Chongming Island, it is not enough to talk about pirate qualifications to carry shoes on Sanshan Island. But looking at the people who are mixed now, he is now the general of the Yuan Dynasty's maritime division, with tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of warships, and he can be called the princes of the commanding side.

However, the Xiao family has never been greedy, and I don't know how many people who took the initiative to defect were rejected, otherwise there would probably be tens of thousands of horses on the island. There are reasons for insisting on nature, and when this habit becomes a tradition, others will not be surprised, and it should be regarded as a special means of low-key survival.

If there are really tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, these Sanshan Islands will definitely not be able to feed so many people, and they will inevitably face the expansion of the chassis and grab more food from other people's mouths to be full, in that case, it is really difficult to say whether this Black Tiger flagship can be preserved until now.

The main island peak is more than 300 zhang high, towering into the clouds, a huge valley in the middle of the island, the four seasons are like spring and the flowers bloom all the year round, it is the place where the island lives in Tuntian. The island is flanked on both sides by a huge deep-water pier and a beach with direct access to the water, where the island's women fish for seaweed and the children swim and play. The huge geographical advantage can make the population of the main island self-sufficient, and even after being besieged by the sailors for three or five years, maybe the people on the island can still get fat.

Xiao Tianxiong's Dazhai is on the top of the slope on the side of the wharf, and the thirteen courtyards are endlessly paved with the hillside, where the pirates who get on the ship and go to sea live, and the daily training and training are carried out here. On the side of the dock, a large and small ship was moored, and the black tiger flagship occupied a large berth alone, arrogant and powerful, and quietly parked there with the slight swaying of the water.

Although the strength of Xishan Island is not strong, Li Zhong is a coward, and there is a lot of supply grain storage on the island, just the air-dried sausage and bacon are loaded with a fast boat. Not to mention the grain piled up like a hill in the cave, which is the solution to the urgent need of Dongshan Island.

The two largest merchant ships are intact, probably because Li Zhong intended to resell them at that time, and he has been sending people to maintain them well, and they can start when they hang up the sails. This time, it happened to be a cargo ship, full of food supplies, and sailed directly to Dongshan Island.

The pirates and wounded soldiers who surrendered on Xishan Island, Zhao Tianyou did not make it difficult for them, and he was unwilling to leave, leaving behind some food and ships, which was enough for them to live and heal their wounds. All pirates who want to join Dongshan Island will be integrated into the fleet of the Mengjia fishing village as a whole, starting with the grassroots oarsmen and sailors, but the salary that should be given is twice as much as that on Xishan Island.

How many real loyalists do the pirates on these islands, and whose fists are big and who they are messing with, as long as they have food and drink, they are all happy. As long as they can get the money they should give, they either drink or gamble, and then they have the opportunity to play a girl, that is a perfect life, and it is the same for whoever sells this life.

When Zhao Tianyou won a big victory on Xishan Island, Wen Tianxiang, who was far away in Lin'an, was frowning and couldn't sleep all night.
