Chapter 107: Daishan Pirates
Daishan Island is located in the north of Zhoushan Island, outside Hangzhou Bay, 60 miles away from Zhoushan Island, and more than 100 miles away from the mainland. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although Daishan Island is also under the jurisdiction of Zhoushan Counselor, it is far away from Zhoushan Island and the mainland, which is equivalent to a place outside the country, the land on the island is barren, there are only three or four hundred fishermen on the island, there is not much oil and water at all, and people from the government rarely come here. Especially in recent years, after a group of pirates have been entrenched on the island, there is no longer a shadow of people in the government.
Zhoushan general Huang Binqing is not willing to spend money to send troops to suppress bandits, pirates are some bitter haha, if they win, they will not get much gain, and if they lose, their strength and prestige will be damaged, as long as they do not harass their Zhoushan Island, what can they do, even if some time ago there were pirates who attacked Changshapu on the opposite mainland and killed all the fishermen in the village, Huang Binqing was indifferent after hearing about it.
The whole Daishan Island once ran east-west, wide in the east and narrow in the west, resembling mulberry leaves, with an area of about 20 miles square, and it was also a big island.
The whole island is divided into two islands, Dongdaishan and Xidaishan, separated by a pu (i.e., a waterway), and the two ends lead to the sea.
The size of Mount Xidai is small, and only a small number of fishermen live on it. The vast majority of the population lives on Dongdaishan Island.
Daishan Island is surrounded by islands, waterways, shipping gates are dense, the coastline is tortuous, there are many excellent ports and anchorages along the coast, it has always been a paradise for pirates.
Now there is a group of pirates entrenched in the southeast of Daishan, and it is the group of pirates who attacked Changshapu and killed Fu Bin some time ago. This group of about 100 pirates, based on Chongfu Temple, entrenched on Daishan Island, and hundreds of fishermen on the entire island were under its control.
These days, the pirates were in a carnival, robbing more than 200,000 taels of silver from Changshapu, making each pirate have a bulging pocket, a large amount of food and wine and even women bought from everywhere, and the whole Chongfu Temple was carnival every day.
In the main hall of Chongfu Temple, the pirate master Zhou Min is sitting on the middle chair, accompanied by a dozen small leaders, and each side is surrounded by charming women, who are the prostitutes they invited from kilns from all over the country.
The pirates pushed their glasses and changed their glasses, laughed and cursed, and the women's coquettish voices were endless.
Zhou Min held the wine glass, looking at all this with great satisfaction, in his heart, his career had reached a peak at this moment, and the unprecedented windfall made him full of ambition.
On his right side, a middle-aged man with a thin figure, a lewd appearance, and a Taoist costume is frowning, looking at everything in the hall with a worried face, he is the second master of the pirates, Song Liben, and among the people in the palace, he is the only one who has no woman by his side.
"Come, second master, let's have a drink! Don't always be sad on the day of great joy," Zhou Min raised his glass and invited Song Liben.
"Alas!" Song Liben sighed and smothered the wine in the cup in his mouth.
"Well done!" Zhou Min sighed in admiration and poured the wine down his throat.
"Big boss, we can't continue like this!" Song Liben wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth and said to Zhou Min.
"We slaughtered Changshapu, the government will definitely not give up, we must prevent the officers and soldiers of Zhoushan from coming to the door, and we can't drink like this every day!"
Zhou Min laughed when he heard this: "Just Huang Binqing's coward, he doesn't dare to leave Zhoushan Island at all." Besides, we're afraid of him! As far as the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers of Zhoushan and the hundreds of troops can be beaten, let's talk about it! ”
"Don't look down on the officers and soldiers, even if the officers and soldiers in Zhoushan are not good, there are still the officers and soldiers in Dinghai, the thousands of officers and soldiers under Wang Zhiren, the general soldier of the anti-Japanese army, are not vegetarians, even Gu Rong Gu is not in charge of the family, he doesn't dare to put him right, right?" Song Liben persuaded.
Hearing Song Liben mention Wang Zhiren, Zhou Min's face became solemn, Zhoushan Huang Binqing He can not be afraid, but Wang Zhiren makes him very jealous, because he, the hundredth person, is not the opponent of thousands of troops at all.
"Second brother, why bother to raise the morale of others, although we can't beat Wang Zhiren, but if we can't beat it, won't we run away, as long as we hide on any desert island, Liang Nawang Zhiren can't find us." Feng Li, the third master, said disapprovingly.
Song Liben didn't bother to pay attention to this three-master with developed limbs and a simple mind, and continued to admonish the big boss Zhou Min.
"Big boss, we can't do this anymore, now we have silver, it's time to expand our power, as long as we spread the news, there will be countless fishermen along the coast to come to run, we can expand our brothers to thousands or even thousands in a short time, at that time, why fear Wang Zhiren?" Song Liben persuaded bitterly.
"But there are too many people to recruit, and the cost is also large, let's have this little family background now, it's okay to raise these 100 brothers, if you raise a few thousand people, it's embarrassing." Zhou Min frowned.
"Big boss, of course we can't raise them in vain, with thousands of brothers, this eastern coastal area of Zhejiang is not for us to run rampant, if we defeat Zhou Min again, occupy a few cities and even divide eastern Zhejiang!" Song Liben hated that iron could not become a steel road, and he was about to lose patience with this big boss Zhou Min, who had no ambitions.
"You, you mean to rebel?" Feng Li, the third master, jumped up all of a sudden, his voice was very loud, and the little bosses who were drinking and flirting with prostitutes were startled and turned their eyes over.
"Why not?" Song Liben looked at Feng Li with disdain, and looked down on him for making a fuss, "Now the court is worried about internal troubles, and it has reached the storm. You don't know yet, dozens of cities such as Luoyang in Henan have been beaten down by Li Chuang. The Jurchens outside the pass broke through the pass several times and plundered Gyeonggi, and the people of the Beizhili and Shandong generations were repeatedly robbed, and hundreds of thousands of people were plundered to be slaves outside the pass. Our brothers should take advantage of the chaos to develop their strength overseas, whether they will dominate the world in the future, or whether they will divide one side, in short, they should mix with a wife and a son, and win an official position! ”
Song Liben's impassioned words echoed in the main hall, and everyone in the main hall looked at the short and thin Song Liben in amazement, unable to believe that such words came out of his mouth. There was silence in the entire hall, and even a dozen or so prostitutes didn't dare to be cute anymore, and sat in a daze one by one.
Zhou Min also looked at Song Liben in surprise, as if he had just met him for the first time. Zhou Min himself is a person with no great ambitions, but under Song Liben's instigated words, he felt a surge of blood in his heart, and his whole body was full of strength, maybe I can really be like Song Liben, and have a day of soaring?
"Report!" At this moment, a small minion pirate ran in briskly from outside and reported to Zhou Min.
"Big boss, there are a few fishing boats outside, and some people have come to worship the island!"
