After finishing the captives, Wu Tianxiao ordered to distribute grain to each Zhoushan people, and send two stones of grain to each family to reassure the people. Notices were also posted to recruit the people. Each person who comes to invest in the people first gives ten taels of silver and five stones of grain as a settlement fee, and the soldiers are covered with food and clothing, and there are two taels of silver once a month for the salary of rice, such treatment has exceeded the monthly salary of Zhoushan County's head catcher, and if there is robbery, there can also be a reward. After two years, he was promoted to a soldier or had actual combat merits, and his salary was raised to three taels of silver and two stones of rice.

Many of the people of Zhoushan County already have relatives and friends who have taken refuge in Wu Tianxiao, and they know a little bit about these natures. In this era when the poor were fortunate to have enough food and clothing for a year, as soon as Wu Tianxiao's edict was posted, there were one or two thousand people who came to vote. Wu Tianxiao distributed these newcomers to various hundreds of households, and expanded the team in the way of veterans leading new soldiers.

After taking control of Zhoushan County, Wu Tianxiao asked Tan Lun to control the city gate instead of Wu Dayou, and his own guards guarded the yamen. Then let Wu Dayou, Chen Minzhi, and Chen Minxin lead the fleet to occupy some important islands near Zhoushan. He also asked each village on the island to send ten taels of silver and five stones of grain to each family to surrender. If they don't come to surrender, they will loot the village chief's house and the public property in the village.

The islands near the main island of Zhoushan used to be more or less affordable with the prosperity of Shuangyu Port, and a small number of islanders took refuge in Wu Tianxiao as soldiers. Therefore, when Wu Dayou and others drove a large sea boat to solicit them, basically the islanders on the island were willing to take refuge for money and food. There are only a few large islands, such as Caojia Village and Hejia Village on Liuheng Island, and Wangjia Village and Hujia Village on Daishan Island, where one or two large households refused to obey the thieves and were raided by force. Although there was no massacre, several heads of the family were hacked to death. For example, the big families in Caojia Village on Liuheng Island gathered their families to resist, and their homes were directly destroyed by Wu Dayou with artillery.

Only in a few days. Caojia Village, Hejia Village of Liuheng Island, Wangjia Village and Hujia Village of Daishan Island, Xiajia Village of Taohua Island, Yujia Village of Daputuoshan Island, Zhangjia Village of Xiaoputuoshan Island, Yanjia Village of Dengbu Island, Dujiashan, Liujia Village of Xiaolanshan, Fujia Village of Xizhai Island, Fangjia of Jintang Island, and so on 20 or 30 islands, the people on the island are as few as two or three hundred, and as many as five or six hundred, most of them are poor fishermen's families, and all of them have taken refuge and surrendered. made Wu Tianxiao have to vote for three or four hundred people.

In the late spring and March of the eighteenth year of Jiajing (1539), Wu Tianxiao had basically controlled the entire Zhoushan Islands, seized twenty or thirty large and small islands, and soon went north to occupy Shengsheng Si Island and Ququshan Island, two almost uninhabited islands. Later, fireworks were set up on the high ground of each island, and more than thirty or fifty people were stationed to guard them, and at least a dozen people were sent to guard them, but when there was a situation, they lit wolf smoke to warn them.

After completely controlling Zhoushan Island and its nearby major islands, Wu Tianxiao offered another 20,000 taels to reward the soldiers who participated in the capture of Zhoushan Island this time, and then let Chen Qianhe go back to report the emergency. It's just that at this time, the Wu family's army has expanded to more than 3,000 people, and the population is 30,000 or 40,000.

Before Chen Qianhe went back, he first scratched his clothes in a few places, smeared the blood of some evil gentry who had been hacked to death by raiding his house, dressed himself as if he had participated in a vicious battle, and went to Hangzhou Mansion to complain. He sent Liu Xian, the commander of the Zhejiang Guard, to inform the Japanese of the sneak attack on Zhoushan County.

Liu Xian saw Chen Qianhe coming in a hurry, so he asked, "Chen Qianhu is so eager, but what is the important military affairs?" ”

Chen Qianhe was anxious: "The subordinates report to the adults." A few days ago, Lord Metropolitan Supervisor led his subordinates to Zhoushan Island to inspect, not wanting to have Japanese robbers come ashore to loot Zhoushan County the day before yesterday. Lord Metropolitan Governor, he ......"

Liu Xian had already heard the bad news and asked, "What's wrong with Lord Metropolitan Eunuch?" ”

Chen Qianhe said: "Lord Metropolitan Prison is unfortunately ...... with two people"

Liu Xian asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Qianhe whispered: "Lord Metropolitan Prison was unfortunately killed by the Japanese Invaders. ”

Liu Xian said angrily: "Then how did you come back?" The words were inarticulate just now, but who else suffered? ”

Chen Qianhe said: "When the subordinates saw the Japanese invaders, they tried their best to resist, but the Japanese invaded suddenly, and the subordinates were not able to protect them, and the capital eunuch was killed by the Japanese with a dagger. The two famous prostitutes from Suzhou and Hangzhou who accompanied him were also taken captive by the Japanese invaders. ”

Liu Xian said angrily: "Bastard." The capital eunuch inspects the jurisdiction, why do you still take the Qinglou woman with you? ”

Chen Qianhe said: "It was my subordinates who saw the hard work of the eunuch and wanted to ask the two famous prostitutes to sing songs to relieve their fatigue. But he didn't want to suffer the scourge of the Japanese invaders, and the capital eunuch was killed by the Japanese invaders, and the two famous prostitutes were also robbed by the Japanese invaders. ”

Liu Xian's anger continued unabated, and he asked, "Have you ever captured the county seat?" How many people are coming? ”

Chen Qianhe returned: "When the Japanese invaded, his subordinates and Tang Xianyao, the magistrate of Zhoushan, led the people and guards to resist to the death. The subordinates took advantage of the fact that the Japanese were not paying attention at night, and sneaked back to report the news. When his subordinates came back, Tang Zhixian was still struggling to hold on, and he didn't know what the situation was at this time. It is estimated that there were five or six hundred people and several ships at sea. ”

Liu Xian drank: "Then what are you still doing here, don't bring anyone to support." ”

Chen Qianhe pretended: "The subordinates brought people to support, but the Japanese are cruel, and I ask the commander to send reinforcements to support the subordinates." ”

Liu Xian snorted coldly: "The eunuch of the capital is inspecting the territory, but he still has the woman of the Qinglou." Hum. It's strange if you don't die when you meet a Japanese robber. This official is going to play a copy of the imperial court. You take your headquarters to repel the Japanese invaders first, and the official will send people to support, if Zhoushan is defended, if it is broken by the Japanese invaders, I will see how you end. Chen Qianhe heard this, and hurriedly said goodbye and went back.

After Chen Qianhe returned to Ningbo Mansion, he summoned his subordinates to go to Zhoushan to fight the Japanese invaders. It's just that his subordinates heard that they were going to fight desperately with the Japanese Kou, and they were looking for excuses one by one, either because they had stomach trouble today, or someone was injured by themselves. It took two or three days to get four or five hundred people. Chen Qianhe himself was not in a hurry, his original intention this time was to discuss with Wu Tianxiao, that is, to blame the death of the eunuch on the head of the widow, so he was not in a hurry. After another three or five days, Chen Qianhe took four or five hundred people and arrived at the Zhoushan wharf on five official ships.

Say the other way. After the commander of the Zhejiang Guard Station received Chen Qianhe's emergency, he sent Gong Jingqianhu, the Hangzhou Guard, to bring people to support. It's just that Gong Jing is willing to provoke the Japanese invaders, Chen Qianhe spent three or five days dragging mud and water over there before arriving at Zhoushan Wharf with four or five hundred people, and Gong Jing here is also dragging and dragging. However, the order of the commander could not be disobeyed, so it took four or five days to gather 1,200 people, and take three broken ships with several hundred materials to sail slowly to Zhoushan Island.

I didn't want Gong Jing to lead three ships to Hainingwei, so I met Wu Dayou leading three ships with more than 1,000 materials cruising and patrolling. Wu Dayou saw that the other party's Daming sailors turned out to be three board boats with hundreds of materials, and without saying a word, he ordered the cannon to be fired.

That Gong Jing was first timid when he encountered three sea ships several times larger than himself, and when he was hesitating, the other sea's ship actually had artillery hit, but Gong Jing, who was frightened by a cannon, cried and roared: "Turn the bow of the ship, hurry up, turn the bow of the ship, the Japanese have artillery, we can't go to death." I can't fight, it's too strong, go back to the guard. Wu Dayou saw that this Daming Sailor was so frightened that he turned around and ran away, and he didn't pay attention to it, but continued to roam and patrol.
