Chapter 160: The Mo Family's Infighting
The Ming army, led by Zhu Houzhao, took Jindao almost without casualties, and also captured nearly half of the pirates on the island. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After taking the Golden Island, Zhu Houzhao's eyes were on the Silver Island again, but compared to the Golden Island, the sparse defense of the Silver Island was simply vulnerable. There was no need for Zhu Houzhao to go to the island with a single soldier, and the captives from Jindao easily rebelled against most of the pirates on Silver Island, although the process of rebellion was more bloody and violent, but as far as Zhu Houzhao's Ming army was concerned, it was also a bloodless victory.
After being unstoppably exterminated by the Ming army, many large and small islands around were frightened, and even many second- and third-rate pirates who belonged to the Mo family began to have a tendency to collectively surrender, either offering the islands or carrying gold and silver.
Occasionally, a few gossipy pirates also offered the life quirks of the old patriarch of the Mo family, how many concubines the Mo family had, what boudoir sex items they liked to use, etc., just in exchange for a dog's head on their neck.
What especially made Zhu Houzhao cry and laugh was that there was even a small pirate leader who sent the legendary bed tonic, it is said that drinking a drop can keep the golden gun from falling, and even the royal girl stopped talking about it overnight, but Zhu Houzhao took a look at it, what is Ma Dan's Tianzhu Divine Water that is not home-produced.
However, for these surrendered pirates, Zhu Houzhao did not kill the killers, but handed them all over to Shang Er. This man, who was destined to become the number one general under the command of One Piece, although he killed a number of vicious people from the surrendered pirates, most of them were kept by him.
The task given to him by Zhu Houzhao was very grand, except for this group of pirates who were originally eating the dinner of making waves on the sea, it was difficult for serious soldiers to deal with pirates from other places.
After all, the official army is the official army, and the pride of the Ming soldiers has been completely cultivated by Zhu Houzhao's several great victories, and he has an instinctive contempt and resistance to the profession of pirates.
Of course, they didn't know that their own leader, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, originally had a heart to plunder the world, and was destined to be not only the emperor, but also the mighty general, and the king of the pirates.
However, Zhu Houzhao is too deeply hidden, and so far no soldiers know that their mighty general, Zhu Shou, the chief military officer, is His Majesty the Emperor himself.
After the Penghu Islands and other outlying islands of Dawan such as Kinmen were assigned to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao sent people to Nanjing to dispatch officials who were not afraid of death to divide the land, count the population, and establish a prefecture and county government here, and at the same time launched a final attack on Dawan Island.
With the continuous transfer of Ming soldiers from Zhejiang and Fujian to gather in the camp in the western part of Dawan Island, the number of Ming troops here has reached a staggering 30,000.
The logistical support was entirely the responsibility of the provinces of Fujian and Zhejiang, which are close to the coast, and there was no problem with the movement of small boats.
After the periphery was cleared, Zhu Houzhao hoarded an army and prepared for the final decisive battle with the Mo family wholeheartedly.
At the same time, the results of the Ming army, which was broadcast throughout the whole process, achieved great results from the old shipowner, so that Nie Xian only brought a master guard, and even kept arguing with the old shipowner about the king, but the other party still regarded Nie Xian as a guest, all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry, and the service of delicious beauties almost made Nie Xian, a scribe who had read the books of sages, become a beast in the bed.
The old shipowner didn't dare to help the abuse, so Zhu Houzhao could naturally fight with the Mo family with confidence.
However, because of the heavy losses, the old man of the Mo family made many desperate bets and raided the Ming army camp, especially during the period when Zhu Houzhao went out hunting, the actions of the Mo family actually caused a lot of casualties to the thousands of Ming troops stationed in Dawan.
On one occasion, he even set fire to the arsenal of the Ming army, killing more than 200 Ming soldiers on the spot.
This made Zhu Houzhao very angry, and the first thing he did after returning was to behead the logistics officer in charge of the arsenal for public display.
The next day, he led thousands of officers and soldiers on the island to retaliate against several surrounding towns under the influence of the Mo family, but unfortunately the gains were not large.
After his own army was assembled, Zhu Houzhao adopted a step-by-step tactic and carried out a dragnet sweep of the Mo family's sphere of influence, but anyone who saw a man or woman taking up arms was killed.
Zhu Houzhao, who accepted the wide dissemination of information in later generations, did not think that women were not a threat, and you must know that in the Middle East, which has been ruined countless times by US imperialism, not only women, but even half-human-tall children may become cold-blooded killers with murder weapons in their hands.
In order to ensure that his corporal could go home alive to see his father and mother after the expedition, Zhu Houzhao had to make this decision.
However, fortunately, most of the residents on the island have been devastated by the Mo family for many years, and most of them have adopted a welcoming attitude towards the arrival of the Ming army, and have not resisted too much.
Soon, the pirates in the western plains of Dawan began to flee under the strong encirclement and suppression of Zhu Houzhao's army, but since the south was not their territory, many pirates turned to the east and west of Dawan.
As mentioned above, the topography of the islands of the Great Bay is characterized by a few small plains or basins in the south, west, and center, and the rest of the country is basically all mountainous and extremely treacherous.
The jungle is dense, wild beasts are rampant, and there is a lot of stuff besides food.
It can be said that after a month of tragic dragnet sweeping, the Mo family is completely on the verge of crumbling. Many powerful figures of the Mo family were also arrested, and they were locked in cages like monkeys by Zhu Houzhao's army to go out with the army to see how the Mo family turned into powder under the power of heaven.
The old man of the Mo family has aged by more than ten years in just a few months. The old man who was already so old that he lost his teeth is now old enough to lose his scum, and his childish face is no longer there, even if he drinks a whole bottle of Tianzhu Divine Water, he has completely lost the strength to raise his head anew.
"Surrender!" The few remaining juniors of the Mo family gathered around the old man of the Mo family and cried vigorously.
Although they are pirates and have been powerful on the entire Dawan Island for many years, there are very few who actually go to sea to burn, kill and rob, and most of them are just molesting women and playing with a few garbage characters who are mutilated to death by a few small jasper.
The name Zhu Houzhao doesn't bother to remember.
"Grandpa, if you don't surrender, don't blame your grandson for being polite." A grandson of the Mo family held a short knife and shouted at the old man of the Mo family.
But judging from the trembling appearance of his two strands, in addition to being afraid of the tiger and wolf division of the Ming army, this kid also has a lot of fear of his grandfather.
"Old guy, don't be stubborn anymore, okay, if our family had surrendered for the first time, now it's not as bad as the old shipowner." You see, because of your wrong decision, my father died, my mother also died, and many uncles were also treated as monkeys by the Ming army and put in cages on the streets. The kid with the knife yelled inwardly.
"What are you trying to do with so many people? You're still a bullshit ancestor without us? Don't be obsessed anymore, let your grandson wipe your neck directly, carry your head to see the Ming army, maybe you can still mix an official and a half-job to glorify your ancestors! (To be continued.) )
