Under the guidance of the islanders, Monin spent a day on Hachijo Island.

There are two small hills on the island, which the islanders call East Mountain and West Mountain, with a height of about two or three hundred zhang, and it is said that the exiled Japanese prisoners stayed in the mountains on weekdays.

Apart from these two hills, the island is predominantly plain and has a warm and humid climate, which should be suitable for growing crops.

The islanders are self-sufficient and self-sufficient, and in addition to arriving the land, they also catch some seafood from the sea.

There is no army or government on the island, and the island is only kept stable by passing on morals and customs, and the owner only has a little more land and does not need other islanders to feed him, so the islanders do not need to pay taxes.

This is really the peach blossom source written by Tao Yuanming, except that there are no peach blossoms.

On the third day, Wang Yongqing took the navigator and accompanied Mo Ning to Qingzhi Island by boat.

Aonoshima is one hundred and thirty miles south of Hachijojima, half a day away, and from a distance, the island is green, perhaps this is the reason why Aonoshima gets its name.

There is a mountain in the northern part of Aonoshima, and according to Wang Yongqing, this mountain is called Wairim Mountain, which is a volcano with a crater with a diameter of three miles at the top of the mountain.

The outer slope of Mt. Wairina is full of cliffs, and there is no flat land or beach on the basic mountain along the coast, mainly some sea erosion rocks, so there is no landing site in the northern part of Aonoshima.

Mo Ning landed with Wang Yongqing at the southwest port of Qingzhi Island, and when he just went ashore, there were no flowers and applause, but he heard some discordant noises.

"Owner, what's that sound?" Mo Ning thought it was a kind of scenery on Qingzhi Island, like the "ghost crying wolf" valley somewhere in the Central Plains.

Wang Yongqing frowned: "Probably those Japanese exile prisoners are making trouble again, these exiles are very fierce and lazy, and often rob the property of the Han people. ”

Wang Yongqing took the lead, and Mo Ning followed closely behind him with more than a dozen soldiers, and ran towards the sound place together.

After walking only a mile, I saw seven or eight Japanese men in gray kimonos, armed with long sticks, beating twenty or thirty Han people holding various agricultural tools to the ground one after another.

The exiled criminals were still so rampant, Mo Ning was furious, "Island master, you let them retreat, and I will deal with these Japanese." He glanced at the soldiers again, and they raised their flintlock pistols and began to aim.

Wang Yongqing seemed reluctant, he glanced at Mo Ning, then at the Han people who were about to retreat, and finally walked over and said a few words to the Han people.

The Han Chinese who were fighting fought and retreated, and they obviously knew Wang Yongqing.

The Japanese did not give up, they followed behind the Han and slowly chased after them.

"Bang, bang, bang......"

The flintlock pistol went off, and after a volley, four Japanese were shot and fell, and a Japanese soldier was shot in the right arm, he stretched out his left hand and held the wound, but blood still flowed from his fingers.

The Japanese lying on the ground, not completely dead, screamed like pigs, and the harder they worked, the faster the blood flowed from the wounds.

The remaining three Japanese were stunned for a moment, they didn't see at all how their companion was injured, but the red blood told them that their companion's injury was as hard as their exile.

None of the soldiers around Mourning glanced at the Japanese, they were quickly reloading.

The surrounding Han people were also the same as the Japanese, temporarily stunned, they did not know what was going on, let alone how the Japanese were injured.

Time seems to have frozen, and Aonoshima has regained its usual tranquility.

The Japanese, who were not injured, were the first to wake up from the shock, they were the first to break the temporary silence, perhaps it was the blood of their companions, which stimulated their fighting spirit, the three of them glanced at each other, suddenly raised the long stick in their hands, and shouted and pounced on the Ming soldiers.

"Bang."

A flintlock bullet pierced the chest of the Japanese at the front, and the bullet seemed to collide with him, and both sides stopped advancing.

The Japanese man did not fall, he was looking down at his chest, and the blood was already soaking his wide gray kimono, running down the gaps in his clothes, and was flowing to the ground.

The Japanese who ran in second place, unable to stand for a while, slightly collided with the Japanese in front of him, who was like magma underground, suddenly found the exit of the eruption, and with a long "ah......" word, he fell to the ground, and rolled over like the rest of his companions......

Another gunner, who had finished reloading his ammunition, was aiming at the Japanese.

The remaining two Japanese saw that the situation was not right, so they turned around and ran away.

"Bang."

This shot hit a Japanese in the thigh, his legs suddenly stagnated, his upper body was still moving forward, one stumbled, fell a "double dog robbery", the last Japanese did not even look back, quickly ran away.

The soldiers around Mo Ning were all regular soldiers of the North Sea Fleet, and when they saw the wounded Japanese, they directly regarded them as opponents on the battlefield, and without waiting for Mo Ning's order, they had already pulled out the short knives on their bodies, and made up for each wounded Japanese, so that they could go to see the Buddha early.

Mo Ning wanted to stop it, but it was too late, so he had to sigh: "Hey......"

The Han people around them all gasped, but fortunately, Mo Ning was brought by Wang Yongqing, and he should not be their enemy.

Wang Yongqing shook his head, as if he was very dissatisfied with the soldiers' practice of killing the wounded Japanese, but after all, the soldiers were helping them deal with the Japanese, and finally bowed his hand to Mo Ning and went first.

The surrounding Han people also gradually dispersed, leaving only Mo Ning's group.

Mo Ning didn't mind either, and he asked the soldiers to search the bodies of the Japanese, but found nothing.

It was only after waiting for a cup of tea that a Han man came over and said that the island wanted to see them.

Mo Ning followed the Han man to a low thatched hut, similar to the one on Tanegashima Island, probably to protect against the sea breeze.

But the house was relatively large, and an old man with a somewhat haggard face was sitting in the living room, and when he saw Mo Ning coming in, he didn't get up, but just gave Mo Ning to sit.

"Mo Tuanza, are you really from Middle-earth?"

"It's really from Middle Earth, but the current Middle Earth is not called the Qin State, but the Ming Dynasty." Mo Ning returned the salute to the old man, "The old man is ......"

"This is the Blue Island Lord Han Wuye!" Wang Yongqing, who was sitting on the side, took the initiative to introduce the identity of the old man.

"I've seen Han Wuye." Mo Ning is another salute, no matter how you say it, it is now on other people's territory, and it is not strange that many people are courteous.

"Mo Tuanzuo is welcome, everyone is their own family." Han Wuye gestured behind him, "Mo Tuanzuo is a guest from afar, and the old decay can be regarded as picking up the wind for Mo Tuanza!" ”

Han Wuye's subordinates began to serve wine and food.

Mo Ning felt that Han Wuye was a little weird, but for a while he couldn't say what was strange, as if he was a little cold to himself, and he didn't have the slightest joy to see the Han people in his homeland, nor did he thank him for helping to kill the Japanese.

There were only two island owners and Mo Ning who ate together, and the three of them talked while eating, and Mo Ning felt that Han Wuye had a lot of thoughts, although the dishes were rich, his face was very bad, and he didn't know if he was sick.

"Is Fifth Master Han sick? I have a medic here. ”

"Mo Junzuo, Fifth Master Han is in good health, but he has some thoughts." Wang Yongqing replied on his behalf.

"Thoughts?" Mo Ning was a little puzzled, "Could it be that this mind has something to do with Zaixia?" ”

Wang Yongqing did not answer directly, but expressed his meaning tactfully: "Han Wuye is worried that the Japanese on the island will retaliate against Japan. ”

"Revenge?" Mo Ning somewhat understood, Han Wuye probably blamed himself for not killing the Japanese on the island, "Didn't you also have conflicts with the Japanese before?" How did they not retaliate. ”

Han Wuye looked very helpless: "There used to be conflicts, but the Japanese never died, they grabbed the food and left, at least they could maintain peace for a while, but now, hey, ......"

It turned out that the Japanese were feeding these wolves with food, can this have a head? Mo Ning couldn't say clearly, "Fifth Master Han, the owner of Wang Island, what should I do now?" ”

"What else can I do? Bear with it, these Japanese are all swordsmanship masters, and the Han people on the island are not their opponents at all," Han Wuye just sighed, "Hey, I don't know how they will retaliate this time, God forbid, it's best not to hurt people." ”

"How many Japanese are there on the island?" Mo Ning estimated that these Japanese were like the Haikou who had invaded the Ming Dynasty, they had practiced martial arts since childhood, their swordsmanship was superb, and they were not afraid of death.

"There were about 100 people, and they were also engaged in farming, and when there was not enough food, they would come and rob the Han people of the grain, and if they hurt their people, they would come en masse to seek revenge." What Han Wuye is most worried about is the retaliation of these Japanese, if he grabs some food, he can bear it.

"Fifth Master Han, leave this matter to me, if the Japanese come to retaliate, let us deal with them." Mo Ning took the initiative to take the matter, since he helped, he had to help to the end, besides, the Japanese wanted to retaliate, or he killed the Japanese himself, and now he has angered the Japanese, of course he can't stay out of it.

"You guys? There are only about ten of you, how can you fight more than 100 Japanese? Fifth Master Han's eyes widened, and his gaze became even more frightened, as if he was worried that Mo Ning would cause him even more trouble.

"Fifth Master Han don't worry, there are five hundred of us, all of whom are on Bazhang Island, this, the king island master should have seen it." Mo Ning turned his gaze to Wang Yongqing, hoping that Wang Yongqing could prove his strength.

Wang Yongqing nodded as expected, he saw Mo Ning's fleet.

"Can you really deal with these Japanese?" Although Han Wuye doesn't believe in Mo Ning very much, Wang Yongqing trusts him, Bazhang Island and Qingzhi Island, that is thousands of years of friendship, blood is thicker than water, lips and teeth are cold.

"We were originally soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and it was our duty to fight, Han Wuye was relieved," Mo Ning asked Wang Yongqing for help again: "Lord Wang, please let your people go back to Bazhang Island, I will write a letter for him to bring back and recruit two hundred soldiers from Bazhang Island." ”

Hearing that he could deal with the Japanese, Han Wuye's face softened slightly, "Thank you so much Mo Tuanzuo, if you can really deal with the Japanese on the island, then the people of my whole island will be grateful to Mo Tuanzuo and Daming." ”
