Chapter 456: Robbery by Order

The speed at which the maritime merchants gathered was also quite fast, and before the panic in Nagasaki Port had completely spread, the families had already loaded their ships and gathered on the docks. [No pop-up novel network]

The efficiency of working with more people is high, but it is more troublesome to make decisions.

The ultimate goal is unity, and the maritime merchants all want to avoid the plague god's men and flee back to Jiangnan. Anyway, this time, due to the big acquisition of the Matsuura Party, most of the goods brought by it have already been sold, and they can be explained when they go back.

However, when it came time to implement the plan, many disagreements arose.

The speed and power of the flywheel battleship were terrifying, and no one was confident that they would be able to escape in front of the enemy, and the route from Fukue Island to Zhoushan was fixed, and the Koreans under the plague god were entrenched in Fujiang Island.

It is not impossible to return directly from Nagasaki, although there are some risks, but with the experience of each of you in the sea, it is not impossible to return safely.

However, when you leave Nagasaki, you have to pass through Fukue Island after all, so will the opponent watch everyone slip away? No one has that confidence.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not good, the eleven strange ships of the North Koreans have arrived near the port, and both the north and south sides have been blocked." In the middle of the dispute, the sailors sent to check on the situation returned, which brought bad news to the maritime merchants to add insult to injury.

"Oh my God!" Everyone lamented that there was no point in arguing over the route, and that it would not work to depart from Nagasaki, take a detour to southern Kyushu, and then return via the Ryukyus.

"plague god, this is not going to leave a way for everyone to live, we have so many ships here, let's just fight with him!" Someone roared.

This method was not impossible, and the size of the fleet of the maritime merchants was not small, from a dozen ships at most to five or six ships at the least, and when they were gathered together, the momentum even exceeded that of the 8,000 sailors of the Japanese people, who had many men but not enough ships.

"The ambition of the shopkeeper is not small, your family has a grudge against the plague god, but my family does not, why should I die with you? However, if the butcher is willing to be the forerunner of everyone, this matter will not work. ”

Working together is easier said than done.

In the court, although all the ministers shouted and shouted at Xie Hong to kill, everyone knew that the stick hit the first bird, and every time they came out, it was only one or two people, and after these people all fell into the sand, they were more cautious.

The current situation is the same, the modified vehicles and ships of the plague god and the ships of the Koreans combined, there are only twenty or thirty ships, and if hundreds of ships rush out together on the maritime side, it is impossible for the other party to stop them all, and there are always people who can escape.

However, there is no doubt that those who rush to the front will definitely be hit head-on, and whether the back can escape or not must also rely on God's blessing, which is really dangerous.

"Sea Dog, you don't have a lot of yin and yang weirdness there, if you don't rush, you can say a way? Is it possible to nest in Nagasaki and wait for death? Now that the main force of the Matsuura Party has collapsed, Nagasaki is like a woman who has stripped naked, and there are thousands of North Koreans, can you guarantee that the North Koreans will not rush in? ”

Tu Xun was beaten by the third duke on the Golden Palace, and he was angry to death, it was Zhengde who gave the order, and it was the third duke who did it, but the people still counted on Xie Hong's head, and the Jiangnan Tu family's hatred for Xie Hong was of course the deepest.

However, the suggestion of the shopkeeper Tu was not out of selfishness, the matter had come to this point, and only a strong man could save his life by breaking his wrist, so he was also furious when he heard the ridicule of the sea dog.

"Anyway, they haven't come yet, it's not too late to wait for them to come, if you want me to say, let's wait until night before leaving the port, if the light is blind, I don't believe they can keep it tight." The method that the sea dog said was not bad, and after listening to it, many people nodded in agreement.

"And even if you run, you can't run in one direction, and you can see the speed of the chariots and ships, and they all gather together, and they are embellished, and they are all dead. We have to run separately and go in all directions, the North Koreans' ships are slow, and there are only eleven cars and ships, so we should still be able to escape a lot. ”

"Yes, yes, that's it, let's gather enough strength and do it as soon as it gets dark."

When the catastrophe comes, they fly separately, which is the common surname of people, not to mention that even if the maritime merchants do not have one heart, at this time, their self-caring remarks prevail.

The sea merchants echoed each other, some perfecting the details, and some simply shouting, as if they wanted to use this to enhance their confidence.

The owner of the butcher said that the port of Nagasaki was like a woman stripped naked, but in fact, the maritime merchants themselves were not much better, a group of people gathered together like trembling sheep, and the flywheel warships outside the port were obviously hungry wolves who chose to eat people.

"Owner, it's not good, it's not good, there are a lot of boats coming out of Fukue Island, all of them are Koreans, there are thousands, and they are coming towards Nagasaki Port!" Another sailor who was on guard outside ran in, and this time he brought even worse news.

"Oh my God!"

"What to do, what to do?"

Afraid of something, the crowd was chaotic all of a sudden, some people wanted to board the ship and leave the port, some people were at a loss, and some people looked around, thinking about simply escaping inland.

"Don't mess around, as long as we work together, we can rush to the sky." Xie Feng stood up, and a loud roar calmed down many people, "The North Koreans' ships are slow, now our opponents only have the ten ships of the plague god, and we can only wait for death here in the port, no matter what, only if we go out of the port first, can we live!" ”

"Yes, what Shopkeeper Xie said makes sense, let's go out of Hong Kong first."

"Yes, the only way to wait for death is to set sail out of the port quickly!"

Xie Qian's prestige among the Jiangnan scholars is quite high, which is also reflected in the status of the Xie family. When everyone was the six gods and no master, Xie Feng stepped forward, but he attracted a lot of praise.

There is a price to bear this praise, although they all got on the boat and hoisted the sails, but the maritime merchants did not move, and they all looked at Xie Feng's side with blank eyes, obviously wanting him to go first.

Of course, Xie Feng scolded in his stomach, but there was no way, if he didn't leave at this time, after the North Koreans landed, he would not be able to leave at all. Jiangnan Shiren and Xie Hong have a lot of grudges, and the Xie family is even more enmity like the sea, can there be a good one in the hands of the other party?

In desperation, he could only take the lead.

...... "It's coming, it's coming out!" "The flywheel warship was just outside the harbor, and as soon as the maritime merchants made a move, they were immediately discovered by the monkeys.

"I'm finally willing to show my head," Scarface rubbed his hands, looked at the sails in the harbor excitedly, and complained to himself: "If you want to say so, why should we wait for the North Koreans to come, just kill them and it's over?" ”

"The maritime merchants have two or three hundred ships, and there are thousands of sailors in total, if we fight, although we will win, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no casualties, and it is better to use Korean soldiers as cannon fodder." The discussion is the life and death of thousands of people, but Xie Hong looks complacent.

In fact, in the previous naval battles, he had already played the role of the Korean naval army to the fullest.

First of all, he let him act and induce the Songpu party to attack in a big way, if he didn't know that the enemy was Korean, the other party would not have even conducted routine reconnaissance, and just ran into it.

In the subsequent water battle, Xie Hong forced the North Korean naval army to face the battle, not only for his own bad taste, first, to lure the enemy deeper, and secondly, to let the Korean naval army play the role of a meat shield.

He didn't know anything about the Japanese army, for fear that the other party would come up with some unexpected means, such as the human bomber. Xie Hong's fleet consisted of eleven ships in total, and he was also very stingy in using every ounce of strength, so of course he would not take such a needless risk.

It wasn't until the Japanese had exhausted their means that he led the army to attack and laid the victory in one fell swoop. Prior to this, the role played by the North Korean naval army was not insignificant.

"But if they really rush out, won't they all be able to stop them? Besides, we don't have enough ammunition. Maang worried.

"They don't have that kind of courage, and it's easy to say this kind of thing about unity, but when you actually do it, it's not so simple." Xie Hongyun smiled lightly: "Let our ships circle around the port, I want to see, which fleet dares to rush first?" ”

So, when the maritime merchants left the harbor in trepidation, they found that the enemy's warships had formed a semicircle and blocked the entire port.

In the past, in the face of such a formation, the maritime merchants must have scoffed, blocking the way sideways to the hull, purely asking for their own unhappiness, and directly colliding with it could solve the problem. But right now, after watching the naval battle of Shicai, they all know very well what this gesture means.

"Let's go!" Led by Xie Feng, several maritime merchants who advocated the first battle shouted loudly.

"Do you really want to rush?" Most people are hesitant.

The rest of the "......" shrank desperately into the middle of the line, as if they could be safe.

As a result, the fleet became tighter, and it was even possible to jump from ship to ship and head back to the port of Nagasaki.

"Prisoner's dilemma, hehe," the corners of Xie Hong's mouth curled slightly, and he smiled smugly, and another psychological war was successful.

There are no fools in the maritime merchants, everyone knows that if they rush together, someone can escape, but there will be no less sacrifices. No one wants to sacrifice that guy, so in the end, it's going to be the way it is.

"Brother Ma, shout."

"Okay." Ma Ang happily agreed, this time he can speak Chinese, and there should be no more confusion about the meaning of the word.

With Xie Hong's order, the Black Pearl made a light turn, and then, under the frightened gaze of the maritime merchants, it drew two beautiful water marks and sailed straight towards the maritime merchant fleet.

"Listen to the truth, we are pirates, you have no way to escape, don't have any luck, obediently lay down your arms and surrender to get leniency......"

All the maritime merchants looked at each other, this is a pirate robbery? How do you listen to the navy of the imperial court catching pirates?

“…… If someone is stubborn, it will only be the same fate as the Japanese people, the ship will be destroyed and people will die! ”

"The little ones are willing to surrender, the small ones are willing to surrender, dare to ask the adults, how much money do you have to pay to buy the road, so that the little ones can survive?"

Maritime merchants are also businessmen, and they are good at negotiating prices, and seeing that the other party does not seem to have the intention of killing them all, many people are moved, and the sea dog is the first to stand up and try to bargain.

"Even if you know each other, the first person to surrender has a discount," Maang nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the North Korean fleet in the distance, and said, "Do you see it?" The first one to surrender, you can choose one of those ships, the board house ship can't be chosen, the others are arbitrary, first come, first served, if it's late, then it's only early morning. ”

"Huh? My lord, what do you mean...... "The fur seals are confused, haven't you heard of pirates robbing and sending ships?" Moreover, the North Koreans' boat is too broken, even if they don't dislike it, they can't pull it back to Jiangnan, I'm afraid it will fall apart halfway, right?

"Isn't that very clear? Your ship, and all that is on it, is mine, and you are not allowed to take anything with you, except the clothes you wear, and you are not allowed to disembark...... If you surrender early, you can choose one of those ships; If you surrender late, only Xiaozao can use it; Stubborn, hehe, you know. Maang sneered.

"Sizzle......" Rao is sea dog and others had the idea of breaking the fortune and eliminating the disaster, but they were still shocked by the most novel way of robbery, this method is just a little better than killing people, except for life, there is nothing left.

Except for a few board house boats, the North Koreans' boat is simply more broken and broken, from Fukue Island to Nagasaki Port, this is if you cross the ocean, just a little wind and waves, you will immediately go to Ryugu to report, and it is not much different from a small sampan.

"My lord, can you discuss ......?"

"Discuss? Have you ever seen pirate robbery and still have discussions? What's more, I'm still ......" Ma Ang pointed his nostrils at the sea merchants, and said disdainfully: "You hurry up and make a decision, I will only wait for you for a quarter of an hour, if you haven't made up your mind by then, hmph, then I'm not welcome." ”

He held his head high, but the merchants could still see the sinister smile on his face, and the expression seemed to say, do you want wontons or bandao noodles?

"Don't talk nonsense with him, he's a delaying tactic, and he doesn't want to die and rush with me!" Xie Feng was originally a hardliner, and when he saw that the negotiation failed, he did not hesitate, and after yelling, he immediately urged the boat.

He was not bad, Maang said a quarter of an hour, it was because the main force of the Korean naval forces had not yet arrived, and only some light ships had arrived nearby. At the speed of the Itaya ship, it will take at least a quarter of an hour to get here.

"Shopkeeper Xie is right, the plague god doesn't leave us a way to live, let's fight with them." The owner of the slaughter ship also shouted loudly, and the slaughter team also anchored, following the Xie family, intending to break through.

The two families together also had twenty or thirty ships, and the momentum was not small, and many maritime merchants who were still hesitating were also moved, and hesitated to order the sailors to anchor, and the huge fleet was stirred.

"Well, Ben Hou is very low-key, huh? Why is it exposed? Xie Hong touched his chin very depressedly, these maritime businessmen's eyes are still powerful, and they didn't even hide their acting skills.

"Master Hou, are you still low-key?" The monkey was speechless, and then reminded: "There are people who are not afraid of death who are about to rush, what should I do?" ”

Xie Hong waved his hand fiercely and shouted angrily: "What else can I do? If you dare to rob under the order, you will be beaten, and you will be beaten to death! ”
