Chapter 31: Five Tigers? Five thieves

Seeing that Zhao Yan was about to rush over with a black heart, Gan Hui shouted, "Hmph, since you ask for death, then fulfill you!" Stand back and fire! ”

When the vine armor soldier heard this, he hurriedly retreated. The Tiger Squat Cannon with the ammunition installed opened fire again. With a bang, Zhao Yan, the black-hearted tiger who ran up, was hit by hundreds of steel balls and gravel at the same time, and the whole person was rushed into the air, his body was torn, and his internal organs, blood, and broken corpses exploded, and they fell on the group of pirates, leaving not even a large piece of corpse.

Seeing the tragic situation of the black-hearted tiger Zhao Yan, all the pirates in the cottage were frightened. The pirates who were stained with corpses were so anxious that they even stripped off their clothes in order to remove the corpses from their bodies. Seeing the red internal organs and white brains on the ground, many pirates were so frightened that they immediately vomited out their bile. Even some cowardly pirates were so frightened that they went insane on the spot and became fools!

The winged tiger Lei Heng died, the hanging eared tiger Li Gang died, the flying tiger Wang Bao died, the smiling tiger Li Ying died, the black-hearted tiger Zhao Yan died, and in one night, all the five tigers in Guangdong who did a lot of evil died.

The five masters died, and the pirates in the water village no longer resisted and surrendered obediently!

When Gan Hui sent people to watch and detain these pirates, he hurriedly sent someone to deliver a message to the general.

After more than an hour, the shouts and screams in the pirate water camp all fell silent, and the battle for the camp was completely over!

In the camp of the original pirates

"Fifteen brothers were killed in battle, and another 3 or 40 were slightly wounded!"

Zheng Chenggong said with a slightly gloomy expression when he heard the number of casualties said by the messenger, but he quickly collected his sadness and hurriedly asked, "How is the situation of the enemy?" ”

"These pirates suffered more than 600 casualties, and our army captured more than 1,000 people. According to the returned pirates, there were more than 3,000 of these pirates in total, and the rest should have escaped1. The herald said excitedly.

"En~! This battle is a big win! Zheng Chenggong nodded slightly.

Although there were many accidents in the middle of the attack on the five thieves in Guangdong, the result was good.

Most of the men of the black-hearted tiger Zhao Yan and the smiling tiger Li Ying died in the firefight, and all the survivors were taken prisoner by Gan Hui, probably more than 400 people.

The winged tiger Lei Heng, the hanging eared tiger Li Gang, and the flying tiger Wang Bao brought to Shuizhai almost all died, and the pirates who stayed in Shuizhai fled with money when they heard that the Zheng family army had attacked the island, but in the case of the Zheng family's ships blockading the island, they would be captured by the Zheng family army sooner or later.

Although this time, Zheng Jiajun suffered casualties of nearly 100 sailors, damaged four sand boats, damaged three sand boats, and damaged one lucky boat. Fortunately, the damaged sand boats and fortune boats can be repaired and can be reused.

At the same time, after conquering the black-hearted tiger Zhao Yan, Zheng Jiajun successively conquered the water village of the other four tigers, and captured a total of 29 complete sand boats and 3 lucky ships of the five tigers in Guangdong. There are 18 broken but repairable sand boats, 5 lucky boats, and one Clark sailboat.

There are 9 sand ships and 2 lucky ships that can only be used as firewood for complete damage.

Moreover, a total of 280,000 taels of gold and silver jewelry worth 280,000 taels of silver were found from the water village of the black-hearted tiger Zhao Yan and the smiling tiger Li Ying, of which the black-hearted tiger Zhao Yan accounted for 240,000 taels. Although the money of the Hanging Eared Tiger Li Gang, the Winged Tiger Lei Heng, and the Flying Tiger Wang Bao were swept away by his subordinates, in the past few days, the Zheng family's army has also recovered 7788, a total of 100,000 taels of gold and silver, of which Wang Bao accounted for 60,000 taels.

Zheng Chenggong stayed on Nanao Island for nearly a week, and in addition to counting the captured loot, he also dealt with the problem of the Five Thieves of Guangdong and his pirates. The smiling tiger is dead, and the conditions promised to him naturally do not need to be carried out anymore.

In order to appease the people's grievances, Zheng Chenggong cut down all the pirates who were killed, and their heads were hung on the seashore to warn other pirates in the Southeast Sea.

Hundreds of heads hung in rows on the seashore, which deterred a large group of pirates, making them dare not easily enter the Southeast Sea to commit crimes.

The other five thieves and the wives and concubines of his pirates, Zheng Chenggong rewarded his soldiers. Although several of them Zheng Chenggong were very hot-eyed, in order to win over the soldiers, they had to wave their hands and send them all away.

has been a soldier for three years, not to mention that many soldiers were poor families before, and those who had no meals could not afford to marry a wife at all.

Since joining the Zheng family's army, not only can he have enough to eat, but also have spare money, and now he even has a daughter-in-law, and he is very grateful to the general Zheng Chenggong, and he can't wait to support his immortal card.

Zheng Chenggong didn't know about these, he was thinking about Li San and Zhao Jiu at this time.

Li San and Zhao Jiu immediately took refuge in Zheng Chenggong when they heard that the smiling tiger Li Ying was dead. In the matter of chasing down the pirates who donated money and smuggled away, they were even more vigorous as the head snakes of the land.

Zheng Chenggong naturally won't pick and choose three or four like the black-hearted tiger Zhao Yan for those who take refuge in him, and don't want any betrayal.

If Zheng Chenggong dared to do this, he would want to persuade those civil and military officials who had defected to the Manchus in the future.

Now Zheng Chenggong's purpose is that he has no capital to dislike anyone, and all those who take refuge in him will be accepted first.

If there is a violation of military discipline, it is not too late to deal with the law and discipline.

Li San, Zhao Jiu surrendered, and Zheng Chenggong accepted it. Even Zhao Lide, who caused the casualties of the Zheng family, took refuge, and Zheng Chenggong also accepted it.

How to arrange people is a problem, and it will definitely not work to be incorporated into Zheng Jiajun. Not to mention that they have been pirates for many years, they are used to being wild, and they can't stand the suffering in the army. And Zheng Chenggong was afraid that they would bring some bad habits into the army and bring their own soldiers badly.

After thinking about it, Zheng Chenggong finally decided to let them go back to their old job as pirates, provide seventy percent of the money and food on time every month, and sometimes deal with some things that are inconvenient for them to deal with.

However, in order to check and balance, Zheng Chenggong decided to appoint their rival Zhao Lide as the second leader, assisting and monitoring Li San's family, and Zhao Jiusan's family to manage South Australia.
