The biggest harvest of Niukou and his party was not the dozens of sea ships they seized, nor the tens of thousands of stones of grain loaded on the sea ships, but the dozens of merchants who were nearly 100 stones.

With these merchants, the goods that Changsheng Island needs in the future will continue to be transported from Daming, but a new problem is in front of him.

You can't give these merchants a blank slate! In history, Mao Wenlong used white strips to pit the big and small merchants in Shandong, and finally when there was no pit to the pit, more than half of the hundreds of thousands of Liao people in Dongjiang Town were starved to death.

This also laid a hidden danger for the split of Dongjiang Town, and Zhang Dou, as a descendant, must not do this kind of killing chickens and taking eggs. For a businessman to contribute, it is not enough to rely on those confessions.

Someone does the business of killing heads, but no one does the business of losing money. It's not a problem that Zhang Dou is silver now, the problem is that there is no silver.

How can I make a lot of money? Do you want to become a pirate yourself and do it?

While he was thinking wildly, someone came to report that an official ship was being besieged by several sea ships in front of him and was in danger.

The sound of artillery in the distance was faintly transmitted, and the bursts of artillery showed the fierceness of the battle. Zhang Dou took the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it, only to see that an official ship was being besieged by 4 bird boats.

Although the guns on the officer's ship roared, his sails were already on fire. The official ships that have lost power are being besieged from all sides by the bird boats, and as long as the people on these bird boats are given a chance, they will jump on the official boats and kill a river of blood.

Since it is an official ship, it can't be saved without seeing death, and with Zhang Dou's order, the four bird boats rushed to the battlefield quickly.

As soon as the bird ships of Changsheng Island appeared on the battlefield, the sea ships besieging the official ships immediately gathered together and watched vigilantly in this direction.

Wang Lang was not polite to these pirates, he was the first to rush forward, sideways the hull of the pirate ship at a distance of 1 mile, and fired fiercely at the pirate ship.

The other three bird ships also scattered left and right, forming an encirclement posture against the pirate ships.

Seeing the bird ship firing at all, the pirates immediately scattered and fled. The speed of the pirate ship is the speed of a turtle compared to the bird ship of Changsheng Island, and Wang Lang easily caught up with a pirate ship.

When the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at them, the pirates not only did not surrender, but joined in and collided with Wang Lang.

Well? Wang Lang's heart was full of suspicions, these people were definitely not pirates. Even if a pirate is crazy, he will not choose to fight when he knows that he has no chance of winning.

These pirates are more like dead soldiers, they have no regard for their own life and death. Dealing with such an enemy, Wang Lang resolutely ordered the cannon.

The whistling cannonball hit the pirate ship, and in an instant, two large holes were opened in the pirate ship. Flying wood chips wreaked havoc on the entire pirate ship, and the sailors on board suffered heavy casualties.

Even then, the pirates did not surrender. They gathered the remaining pirates on the deck, shouted words that Wang Lang did not understand, and adjusted the direction of the bow of the ship and rushed towards the bird ship.

Looking at the pirates who were overwhelmed, Wang Lang ordered the exchange of loose ammunition. Another round of shelling, hundreds of buckshot swept away the pirates on the deck.

Buckshot almost knocked the pirates on deck into a sieve, and there was not a single living person on deck.

The battle of the other bird ships ended quickly, and the pirate ships did not escape the pursuit of the bird ships of Immortal Island. But what is frustrating is that they failed to capture a single captive.

The pirates who saw that there was no hope of victory, and that the pirate ship was damaged, chose to commit suicide. To the great frustration of the Changsheng Island Navy, which had won a naval battle, they only captured 4 tattered sea ships, and nothing else.

Zhang Dou has been observing these strange pirates, and generally speaking, the people do not fight with the officials. The pirates were not a last resort or would not attack official ships, and they all knew that if the attack on official ships failed, they would have to suffer endless retaliation from the imperial sailors.

They never dared to do such a detrimental thing, and today these pirates not only attacked the official ships, but also sent all the dead soldiers, who could have such a big hand?

While he was wondering, the bird boats returned with the booty. Wang Lang came to Zhang Dou's front and thumped his left chest with his right hand, and saluted the military salute of Changsheng Island.

"My lord! Humble and incompetent, they failed to catch the thief, but the thief may be a North Korean, and they ended up shouting long live in Korean. Listening to Wang Lang's words, Zhang Dou fell into deep thought.

The kings of Joseon have always been extremely deferential to the Ming Dynasty, and they will not be turned into grass until they are defeated by the Jurchens next year. How could they get involved in Liaodong?

At this time, Ma Bao also came over and said, "General! The people on the official ship said that they were officials who gave us the decree and asked us to go over and receive the decree. "Divine decree? In such a big place as Eternal Life Island, can you actually receive a holy decree? It seems that it is getting more and more lively here.

Zhang Dou boarded the official ship and found that the battle was fierce, and many soldiers were killed by arrows. Some of them are still wearing flying fish suits, which look like the makeup of Jinyiwei.

There were many blackened and charred ships on board, and the sails had been burned out. One of the ship's guns also appeared to have exploded, and a severed hand was still on the gun emplacement.

Seeing the devastated official ship, Zhang Dou was sure that if it were not for his own rescue, the official ship would not have been able to hold out for another half an hour.

When Zhang Dou came to the official ship, he found more than a dozen brocade-clothed guards guarding a middle-aged man in his thirties, who was pale, beardless, and had a gentle temperament, like a scribe who had read poetry and books.

When this group of people saw Zhang Dou on the boat, they didn't come over to salute, but looked around. A brocade guard shouted at the moment: "Bold martial artist! When you see Gonggong Cao, you don't immediately pay a big salute, do you want to rebel? ”

Before Zhang Dou could speak, Hu Tieniu behind him jumped out. "You plagued rabbit cub, grandpa just saved you, you dare to yell here, believe it or not, grandpa chopped you with an axe!"

Hu Tieniu was tall, and the big axe in his hand was as big as half a wheel, so frightened that Jinyiwei, who jumped out and scolded him just now, stretched out his neck before he said curtly: "If you don't talk to a reckless man, let Zhang Dou come out to talk!" ”

After listening to Jin Yiwei's words, Hu Tieniu laughed evilly for a while, and said: "It's enough to talk to you, a rabbit cub who doesn't speak human words, and you Hu Ye are enough, let's make love!" ”

Hu Tieniu's smile frightened the brocade-clothed guard back a few steps, and he turned his head to the middle-aged scribe and said, "Gonggong Cao! The brothers are all in Liaodong who sent you to each other, you have to say something! ”

Hearing Jin Yiwei's plea, the middle-aged scribe walked out and arched his hand and said, "This little brother! Cao Huachun is here to make amends to you, after all, these people are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and everyone still values harmony! ”

Seeing that this person spoke politely, Hu Tieniu glared at the brocade guards fiercely and retreated behind Zhang Dou.

Zhang Dou stepped forward and said, "Immortal Island garrison Zhang Dou has seen Lord Angel!" Zhang Dou didn't kneel, just bowed his hand to greet.

And Cao Huachun is not so domineering, on the contrary, he is very kind. "This is the hero who recaptured Immortal Island from Jiannu alone, and recently slashed 800 Jiannu! Cao is really admired! ”

Seeing Cao Huachun being so polite, Zhang Dou also waved his hand again and again and said: "Thanks to the emperor's sage, the soldiers use their lives, Zhang Dou is just at the right time!" I can't afford to be a big hero! ”

While they were talking, the brocade guard interjected again, "Some people just have to be self-aware, don't take credit for their tails to the sky, and rest assured that they will stand too high and fall to death." ”

Zhang Dou was more depressed, he didn't seem to offend these people, how could he bite him like a mad dog when he saw him. The clay man still has three points of fire, let alone Zhang Dou.

He glared at the brocade guard and said, "If you don't want to stay on the ship, this official can send you down to the sea to swim to Immortal Island." Zhang Dou's words made the Jinyiwei's face change instantly, he didn't expect Zhang Dou to dare to do it with him.

He didn't know what to say for a while, so he pointed at Zhang Dou and said, "You~You~......"

Zhang Dou glanced at him disdainfully and said, "Lao Tzu has cut off more than a thousand Jiannu heads, and it doesn't matter if you cut one more!" Zhang Dou's cold words frightened the brocade guard, and he swallowed his saliva with difficulty and didn't dare to speak provocatively anymore.

At the pier of the Dragon King Temple on Changsheng Island, Cao Huachun held the holy decree and read loudly: "Fengtian carries the emperor's system ......"

Zhang Dou, who was kneeling in front of the holy decree, was confused, this text was really not something that he could understand as a beginner Chinese person, a lot of nonsense covered by clouds and mountains.

Finally, he understood the last few sentences, and the holy decree mainly said three things. The first is to reward Zhang Dou for recapturing Changsheng Island, and Shangguangou killed 800 enemies in a battle, gave him a pair of gold armor, and promoted him to the general of the garrison of Changsheng Island.

The second thing is to transfer Sun Yuanhua to the Ministry of Industry to serve as the head of Zheng Liupin, which can be regarded as a three-level promotion.

The third thing is also that Cao Huachun, who announced the decree, was left on Changsheng Island as a supervisor, and those Jinyi guards also set up a hundred households on Changsheng Island to supervise the affairs of Changsheng Island.

Both the prison army and Zhang Dou of the Jinyi guard could bear it, but the departure of Changsheng Island from Sun Yuanhua caught Zhang Dou off guard.

Zhang Dou is very self-aware, and he can come up with ideas according to the ideas of later generations. But if he wants to do it himself, then he can only do it!
