Liu Xiang resisted desperately with a sword, Yang Tingjian just swept it with a knife, and Liu Xiang's pirate career was over.

Yang Tingjian's Mo knife cut off Liu Xiang's war horse's hind legs, Liu Xiang's crotch under the war horse screamed and fell forward, Liu Xiang screamed miserably, rolled to the ground, Yang Tingjian's legs were clamped and thundered, and the thunder and lightning rushed up, Yang Tingjian instantly opened the high-voltage electric rod in the Mo knife, and poked at Liu Xiang's buttocks, Liu Xiang's buttocks were poked open, and his body was still spasming.

Liu Xiang, the famous pirate leader, was directly captured alive by Yang Tingjian, and Liu Xiang, who was stunned, was put on the saddle by Yang Tingjian, and the personal soldiers who followed Yang Tingjian shouted:

"Liu Xiang has been captured alive, and you won't surrender yet......"

The pirates who lost the command of the leader collapsed instantly, and the 20,000 pirates on the sea were dragons entering the sea, and the cavalry on land was delivering food, and those who resisted stubbornly were all hacked to death, and all those who surrendered on their knees were not killed.

Those pirates who have not yet surrendered saw that the Tiger Ben army really did not kill the surrendered soldiers, and under the deterrence of the powerful cavalry, they chose to surrender on their knees, not because they didn't want to run, but because they had two legs, they couldn't run a four-legged war horse at all, and if they didn't surrender, there was only a dead end, and those who were hacked to death were role models.

At this time, Mu Chengfeng also rushed to the beach with thousands of cavalry, this Liu Xiang landed at the time of the long tide, but their ships were all stranded on the beach because of the low tide, and as soon as Mu Chengfeng's thousands of cavalry rushed to the beach, they immediately turned over and dismounted, and rushed to the seashore stranded boat, even if the pirates who stayed behind wanted to escape by boat, they couldn't, they could only choose to fight with Mu Chengfeng.

The result can be imagined, the cavalry with full body armor and the pirates without armor slashed each other, no matter how high their personal martial arts are, they will be directly stabbed to death. Those who did not die also surrendered one after another, and of course, a few leaders chose to jump into the sea to escape, and it is estimated that their hope of survival is very slim.

Liu Xiang gave up his strengths to use his weaknesses to attack the city by land, and as a result, he met Yang Tingjian, the plague god, which was the end of the destruction of the whole army!

What followed was the long process of capturing prisoners and cleaning up the battlefield. There were not many dead in this battle, more than 20,000 pirates only died more than 2,000 people, mainly during the siege of the city by the Tiger Ben army, Yang Tingjian's cavalry division did not kill many pirates, about more than 1,000 people, for such a big battle is very rare.

There are more than 15,000 captives captured by Yang Tingjian, and the rest are still being captured, and pirates without ships can't escape.

Yang Tingjian didn't leave, and directly asked the captives to build a military camp by the sea in Tongzhou. When the military camp is completed, these pirates will be recruited, and the treatment of the navy of the Tiger Ben Army is not low, not to mention that these pirates have always wanted to be recruited, and as soon as Yang Tingjian's recruitment notice came out, the captured pirates all enthusiastically signed up to participate.

This is just for ordinary pirates, the leaders of more than 100 households will be screened, and the pirate leaders equivalent to 1,000 households are not allowed, these pirate leaders can no longer be transformed. They can only be sent to the salt works to work as coolies, or to open mines until they die.

Even Liu Xiang. Yang Tingjian also didn't dare to keep it, Yang Tingjian wanted to give this pirate leader any chance to turn over, Liu Xiang was directly ordered by Yang Tingjian to be sent to Jingshi for trial.

In the end, Yang Tingjian retained 10,000 strong pirates, and the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled and more than 7,000 leaders were all sent to work as coolies.

Yang Tingjian stayed in the Tongzhou Navy Camp for the time being, and the cavalry division also stayed here. Prevent these unmodified pirates from mutiniing.

Immediately, the instructor corps from Yangzhou and the newly recruited more than 24,000 children of good families also came to the Tongzhou naval camp, and dozens of pirate instructors who were fished out of death row began to train these more than 30,000 people.

The pirate instructor teaches tactics, and the political instructor of the Tiger Army is responsible for brainwashing, so the ship doesn't have to worry about it. Liu Xiang's ships numbered more than a thousand, all of which were captured, and these ships were enough for training.

Yang Tingjian's military salary and food made everyone satisfied, but the harsh discipline of the Tiger Ben Army also made everyone tremble, and the officers of the Tiger Ben Army did not beat people, but put those who violated discipline into confinement.

This confinement room is simply mad, only one square size, you can only sleep in it, when it is convenient, it is the toilet under the wooden plank, this toilet has no lid, the hot south, to stay in such a confinement room, it is simply tormenting, those pirates who have violated discipline, after entering the confinement room once, swear not to enter that place for the rest of their lives, it is even more terrible than hell.

Yang Tingjian stayed in Tongzhou for a month, during which Yang Tingshu had already sent two Victory sail warships, which stunned everyone, this ship was as big as a mountain, and the ships of the pirates in the past were small sampans.

The naval establishment of the four guard posts of the Tiger Ben Army has more than 20,000 people, and Yang Tingjian has made up more than 30,000 people, and their training is also in full swing, and the effect is also very significant.

A telegram sent Yang Tingjian to Lei, and the tax silver sent by Nanjing to Jingshi was more than 2 million taels of silver, and millions of stone grains were robbed by the water thieves in Gaoyou Lake, and the Nanjing household department asked Yang Tingjian to send troops to recover this batch of property. Even if Yang Tingjian does not accept this request, Emperor Chongzhen's edict will come soon, if you don't go now, only Yang Tingjian in Jiangnan has the ability to recover this batch of property.

Fortunately, the Huben Navy that has been training for a month should also go to the battlefield to see and see, the Victory battleship is too big to enter the canal, but Yang Tingshu built more than a dozen flat-bottomed boats with more than 500 materials and more than 1,000 materials in the early stage, which can completely enter the canal.

There is no problem with the five hundred materials of the ship with eight Shenwei guns, the ship of more than 1,000 materials can be equipped with sixteen guns, and the pirate ships are more than 1,000 ships, and some of them already have artillery, no matter what the quality is, but the quantity is quite a lot, there are more than 500 guns. It seems that Liu Xiang's family background is quite thick.

At the beginning of September, Yang Tingjian took more than 1,000 boats from the Yangtze River into the canal and came to Yangzhou.

The salt farm now produces a large amount of salt, more than 1,000 acres of salt drying field, 30,000 catties of salt per day, plus Yang Tingjian's two Huai salt transport envoys, Xia Mengqi, who is in charge of the salt industry, directly opened the wholesale, there is no need for any salt at all, as long as the purchase is more than 100 catties, it will be directly wholesaled.

At this time, the salt merchants in Yangzhou were not happy, the monopoly was broken all of a sudden, their profits were like an avalanche, these salt merchants wanted to save themselves, and hurriedly brought a lot of silver to ask Yang Tingjian, but Yang Tingjian was not free at all, but took tens of thousands of tiger soldiers and navy through Yangzhou City without entering, and went straight to Gaoyou County.

The water thieves in Gaoyou Lake, the end is coming, and all kinds of minerals in Yangzhou Mansion are beckoning to them...... (To be continued......)
