In the eighteenth year of Jiajing (1539), it was the middle of the seventh month. Under the leadership of Tao Qingxian, the Fusang Gong envoy fleet came to Daming to trade. But when he met Wu Jiajun, he was blocked in the waters of the Zhoushan Islands. Subsequently, Tao Qingxian wanted to form an alliance with Wu Tianxiao for personal purposes, and finally used arsenic and sweat medicine to poison and kill more than 400 other members of the Fusang Gong Envoys, and sent four Fusang ships and four ships of cargo to Wu Tianxiao. After Wu Tianxiao obtained four ships of goods, he put Tao Qingxian and others under house arrest on an uninhabited island between Daishan Island and Zhoushan Island, which was used to build a beacon tower. The island was deserted except for a beacon tower with a few soldiers and a few barracks. Every day, Zhoushan transport ships need to transport supplies to make ends meet.
After putting Tao Qingxian under house arrest, Wu Tianxiao led a fleet carrying sales materials to Shuangyu Port. Subsequently, two armed frigates of the Zhoushan fleet and four Fusang 2,000 ships were temporarily recruited. A fleet of ten ships was formed, carrying grain to Tamsui City. At this time, the carrying capacity of this fleet has reached 18,500 materials, which is equivalent to a carrying capacity of 3,000 tons. It can carry up to 3,500 people. If it is transported for short distances, it can even reach up to 4,000 people.
Leap late July. Wu Tianxiao led ten sea ships, with 2,000 soldiers, and fifteen artillery pieces that had been modified to be towed by horses. and a large amount of grain, and went to the west of Tamsui City to face the shore of Haitan Island. Only Wu Dayou's first battalion of 800 people was left to guard the Zhoushan Islands, and Jia Youshi's first battalion of 800 people was left to guard Tamsui City. Haitan Island is less than 300 miles away from Tamsui City in a straight line, and it can be reached in one morning.
Shortly after lunch on the 22nd day of the seventh month of the leap month, the fleet arrived at an island on the west coast. After Wu Tianxiao checked it with a telescope, he handed the telescope to Shen Nanshan and asked, "This island is not big, is it Haitan Island?" ”
Shen Nanshan looked at it and said: "This island is not Haitan Island, look at the mountain shape of this island is Dongyang Island in the east of Haitan Island. ”
The cow knife juniper on the side listened and said, "Dongyang Island? Isn't our course a little off? Dongyang Island is in the northeast of Haitan Island, and Chen Sipan's cottage is on Longwang Mountain. There is only one mountain road leading directly to the seaside silver Taiwan's Huojiao Harbor Wharf. The Burning Harbor Pier is southwest of Haitan Island, and we have to bypass half of Haitan Island to reach the Burning Harbor.
Wu Tianxiao asked, "How many islands are there around Haitan Island?" Which islands are more important? ”
Niu Dao Hui explained: "There are more than a dozen islands in Haitan Islands, but only five islands are inhabited, including Haitan Island, Qianqi Island, Dongyang Island, and Xiaolian Island, and the others are uninhabited islands. There is only one fishing village on Dongyang Island, and it is the largest island in the east of the Haitan (Pingtan) Islands. ”
Wu Tianxiao said: "Then we will occupy this Dongyang Island for rest." Then he gave the order to the herald: "Give the order to go down." Look for the landing shoal landing. He also ordered Qianlong 1 and 2 to cruise around the island, drive all the ships back to the island, and be sure to blockade the island. After occupying the island, rest for the night, and kill the burning port tomorrow morning. ”
When the fleet found a fishing village by the sea, they were ready to land on the beach. Then he saw that this fishing village had killed two or three hundred strong men, all armed with weapons, and guarded against the fleet. This is Chen Sipan's sphere of influence, Wu Tianxiao saw these armed men, and regarded them as Chen Sipan's pirates. Without saying a word, he ordered the artillery to open fire and opened fire on the armed crowd on the shore. After a round of artillery, the other party dropped dozens of corpses, and they were scattered and fled to the fishing village.
After Wu Tianxiao took his men ashore, he surrounded the fishing village. This fishing village is not big, and after Wu Tianxiao surrounded the fishing village, he asked people to transport ten wheel artillery pieces down and shouted at the entrance of the village: "Chen Sipan." You are already surrounded, lay down your arms and surrender at once. Otherwise, if you start firing, you will immediately bomb your little fishing village to the ground. ”
After waiting for a while, no one answered, Wu Tianxiao asked the gunner to shoot at an open space in the fishing village. Then the people continued to shout: "Under the artillery, the stones will also blow you into powder." Chen Sipan. If you don't surrender, I'll blow you and this fishing village to minced meat. ”
Then. There was a man in the fishing village, with a dozen men, who walked out of a private house. The man was born with a strong force, holding two machetes in both hands, and shouted dozens of steps away: "Who are you? There is no Chen Sipan here. Why do you want to kill my brother? If you want to find Chen Sipan, you should go to Longwang Mountain on Haitan Island to find him. ”
When Niu Dao Hui saw the man approaching, he recognized this person. Nai whispered to Wu Tianxiao: "This person is Xu Hai. I just don't know how he ended up here. ”
After Wu Tianxiao nodded, he said to Xu Hai: "I heard that you Xu Hai is also a righteous man, as long as you abandon your weapons and surrender, I will not embarrass you." We are heroes of the Eastern Han Dynasty, specializing in killing pirates and exterminating pirates. Since you Xu Hai are Chen Sipan's three masters, you should have an enlightenment. Chen Sipan is the victim, I advise you to turn back as soon as possible. ”
That Xu Hai called: "You are talking about the past." I, Xu Hai, used to follow Chen Sipan. But now Chen Sipan is Chen Sipan, and I, Xu Hai, am Xu Hai, and we vow not to stand together. I, Xu Hai, am a thief, and I have indeed killed a lot of people before, but today the enemy came to the door, and if you want to kill it, you can kill it. As long as you promise me one condition, my Xu Hai's life and death will be at your disposal. Xu Hai said that he and Chen Sipan swore that they would not be incompatible, but this made everyone puzzled.
It turns out that this is what happened. Mao Haifeng is Wang Zhiyi's son, but after Wang Zhi was killed by Wu Tianxiao, Wang Zhi's subordinates have a tendency to disperse. Some people elected Mao Haifeng as the new leader, but those veterans who debuted with Wang Zhi, such as Xu Dong, were not convinced, thinking that Mao Haifeng was just a hairy boy and lacked qualifications. Therefore, Wang Zhiyuan was divided into two factions, one faction supported Mao Haifeng, and the other supported Xu Dong. And in order to strengthen his strength to overpower Xu Dong, Mao Haifeng spent a lot of money to buy Xu Weixue again.
Xu Weixue originally took care of his nephew Xu Hai, but he was hesitant at first. However, this time there was a sea overflow, and Haitan Island was the hardest hit area, and as a result, Chen Sipan suffered heavy losses and his food was in danger. Xu Weixue agreed to Mao Haifeng's wooing for the sake of his ordinary brothers, and took his men to take refuge in Mao Haifeng, which made Chen Sipan mad. After Xu Weixue was bought by Mao Haifeng, Chen Sipan began to suspect that Xu Hai would also betray him, and as a result, he guarded against Xu Hai everywhere. The consequences of the Haiyi disaster are getting more and more serious, leading to famine, and Haitan Island is even more inevitable, and if you can't get food, you will starve to death. After Chen Sipan doubted and guarded against Xu Hai again and again, the two finally turned their faces, and Chen Sipan wanted to annex Xu Hai. Xu Hai lost the support of his uncle Xu Weixue, and finally couldn't fight Chen Sipan and fled to Dongyang Island.
