Ren Siqi and Mao 18 agreed on a plan to attack inside and outside, and after agreeing on the time, they returned to Renjiawan by boat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A few days ago, he sent Jin Yufei to Hangzhou to ask Lu Zonghan for help, and now Ren Siqi wants to see if Jin Yufei is back and whether he has received a response from Lu Zonghan.

When the "Flying Fish" returned to Renjia Bay, it saw a passenger ship parked in the bay, this ship was clearly a flat-bottomed passenger ship traveling on the inland river, and now it actually sailed into the sea, it must be Lu Zonghan's people coming, maybe it was Lu Zonghan himself who came.

Ren Siqi hurriedly went to the coast, and sure enough, he found that Lu Zonghan had arrived.

I saw Lu Zonghan in civilian clothes, accompanied by the old patriarch and drinking tea with a few subordinates.

"Lord Lu is here in person!" Ren Siqi stepped forward in surprise to salute.

"Haha, Brother Ren doesn't have to be polite." Lu Zonghan laughed.

"Brother, what you said is true? Do you really want to clear out the pirates of Daishan? After everyone retreated, Lu Zonghan asked in a low voice.

"Of course it's true, how dare I deceive you, Brother Lu!" Ren Siqi said.

"Are you sure? There are hundreds of pirates on Daishan Island, and I'm afraid that your ship is not strong enough! Lu Zhonghan pointed to the "Flying Fish" in the sea. When Jin Yufei found him and said that Ren Siqi was going to deal with pirates, Lu Zonghan hurried over, but he was worried that Ren Siqi's strength was too weak.

"That's why I need your help, big brother, I need to know some information about the Daishan pirates." This is also the purpose of Ren Siqi looking for Lu Zonghan.

"Brother, you also know, eldest brother, I have just taken office, and my strength is limited." Lu Zonghan said embarrassedly: "But fortunately, brother, what you have to deal with is the pirates of Daishan, and I happen to have a brother who was born on Daishan Island." ”

"Really?" Ren Siqi was very pleasantly surprised.

Lu Zhonghan slapped his face, and a man in a black suit walked in.

"This is Bai Shun, Brother Bai, he is from Daishan, if you want to know anything, you can ask him." Lu Zonghan said.

"I've seen my lord!" The man named Bai Shun bowed to Ren Siqi, then stood with his hands down, waiting for Ren Siqi's inquiry.

"Since Brother Bai is from Daishan, he should know some of the situation of Daishan pirates, can you tell me about it?" Ren Siqi said.

Bai Shun was a little shy when he heard this: "My lord, although my ancestral home is Daishan, I haven't been back to Daishan Island for a long time, and I don't know much about the situation of pirates. ”

"Huh!" Ren Siqi looked at Lu Zonghan in amazement, are you entertaining me?

Lu Zonghan hurriedly said: "Brother Ren, don't worry, Brother Bai, tell Brother Ren about your family history." ”

"Yes, sir!" Bai Shun agreed, and then told Ren Siqi about his family history.

It turned out that Bai Shun's ancestral home was Daishan, and his ancestors had served as the inspector of the Daishan Inspection Division.

The Daishan Inspection Department was established in the 26th year of Hongwu, mainly to inspect the Japanese invaders. In the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years, it was abolished many times and re-established. During the Jiajing period, the Japanese rebels rebelled, and the Zhoushan Islands became the backyard of pirates. Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and other generals fought for many years before they eliminated the Japanese invaders. In order to prevent sporadic pirates, the imperial court added a lot of inspection divisions, that is, at that time, the Daishan inspection department was re-established.

Bai Shun's grandfather followed Qi Jiguang to fight against the Japanese and was awarded the post of hereditary Daishan Inspection Division by the imperial court.

During the Wanli period, Toyotomi Hideyoshi attacked Korea, and the imperial court withdrew the Qi family army to drive out the Japanese, and Bai Shun's grandfather was re-recruited by Qi Jiguang and entered Korea. On the Korean battlefield, Bai Shun's grandfather was seriously wounded and died, and was posthumously awarded the hereditary Liaoyang Guard Thousand Households. The Daishan Inspection Division was also abolished.

Bai Shun, as the third son, could not inherit the hereditary position, so he had to find a way out by himself, so he served in the Jinyi Guard. Therefore, although Bai Shun's ancestral home is Daishan, he has not really lived in Daishan, so naturally he does not know the details of Daishan's pirates.

However, Bai Shun's ancestors lived in Daishan, and there must be acquaintances in his family in Daishan, which is why Lu Zonghan brought him.

"At first, the Daishan Inspection Division was located in Daishan Scissors Head, and later moved to Dongsha Town. Although our family has left Daishan since my father, we still have many relatives in Dongsha Town. Since you want to clear out the pirates, I can take you to Dongsha Town to ask for help! Bai Shun's words made Ren Siqi overjoyed.

"There's Brother Laobai!" Ren Siqi thanked him repeatedly.

"Brother, you sent someone to ask me for all kinds of weapons, but you also know that my brother and I are in a humble position, my ability is limited, and my time is too short, and many things cannot be obtained with my position." After Bai Shun went out, Lu Zonghan said to Ren Siqi.

"Gunpowder is a controlled item in the army, and I only got 200 catties with my authority, as for the spear you want, it is easy to do, I brought you a hundred rods, all of which are standard spears in the army. There is nothing I can do with the other bows and crossbow armor. Lu Zonghan said apologetically: "But I got you a few barrels of oil, and of course the fire attack is the best for the battle on the ship!" ”

"It's so good!" Ren Siqi said happily. He didn't expect Lu Zonghan to be so powerful, he didn't mention it in the letter, he actually helped himself get a few barrels of oil! You must know that naval warfare in this era often had to be carried out in broadside battles, and fire attack was of course the sharpest way to attack. Ren Siqi remembered that Zheng Zhilong defeated the Dutch at Liuluo Bay by attacking with fire.

Seeing that Ren Siqi was happy, Lu Zonghan was very satisfied, the reason why he tried so hard to help Ren Siqi was, of course, for the merits of clearing pirates. The few robbers captured in the canal last time brought Lu Zonghan a lot of merits, which greatly increased his authority in the Jinyi Guard, if he could exterminate the Daishan pirates this time, maybe he would be promoted because of his merits, even if it was not impossible to achieve a thousand households!

"I can understand that you want a gunpowder bow and crossbow, but brother, what do you want so many spears for? You must know that it is inconvenient to fight on a ship, with a long weapon! Lu Zonghan suddenly asked.

Naturally, he practiced the Spanish spear formation, Ren Siqi said secretly, but he didn't want to explain the specific matter to Lu Zonghan.

"This, you can't always be on the boat, you have to attack the island, and the long gun is naturally much better than the knife, an inch long and a village are stronger." Ren Siqi said haha.

Lu Zonghan nodded, expressing understanding: "Makes sense." ”

The gunpowder and oil spears brought by Lu Zonghan were unloaded from the passenger ship and transported to the "Exocet". Lu Zonghan also took a few of his men aboard the "Flying Fish", and he wanted to personally participate in the battle against pirates.

After boarding the "Flying Fish" and seeing the six huge guns on the second deck, Lu Zonghan's mouth opened wide in surprise, he didn't expect that there would be such a sharp weapon on this ship. However, after being surprised, he was secretly happy, after all, the greater Ren Siqi's strength, the more sure he was of dealing with pirates!
