The men looked at each other with twinkling eyes, but none of them stood up.

Seeing this, Hong Jiyuan's face also softened.

"In that case, the matter was decided. We'll take these thieves away first, and then we'll report the matter to the governor. ”

Hong Jiyuan said.

"But this matter can't be so simple and just settled, we still need this thief army to play a scene with us, and there is no reward for killing the head. Zhang Li, it's up to you to talk to those thieves about this matter. ”

Hearing this, the black-faced sentry couldn't help but change his complexion, and then said with a bitter face: "My lord, if you want to change someone, I ...... it."

"I see that your mouth is quite neat, who else can do this well except you."

Hong Jiyuan snorted coldly and said.

He has long been unhappy with this subordinate who is always showing off his mouth, and he relies on the real kung fu of his hands to fight, not his mouth.

"Haha!"

"Haha!"

The other sentinels burst out laughing.

Seeing Hong Jiyuan's unhappy face, Zhang Li knew that his mouth was in trouble again.

In the end, he couldn't tell the difference, so he still obediently followed this errand.

Soon the sentry was hung from the city wall in a basket, in fact, the city wall was not high at all, but it was about four meters, and it could not fall to death if you jumped from it.

After knowing that the sentry officer was a negotiator sent by the other party, someone immediately brought him to Lu Yan.

"Did you agree to my terms?"

Lu Yan asked with a smile.

The black-faced sentry smiled awkwardly, and then said, "After all, we are all in the same robe, and it is not good for everyone to fight and kill." ”

"That's right."

Lu Yan said with a smile.

In fact, he didn't want to fight, this kind of poor army fort didn't have much oil and water, but wasted a lot of gunpowder, which was simply more than worth the loss.

Jia Xu also looked at the black-faced sentinel with a smile on his face.

"I don't know what your army wants, but if you don't want much, we can still support some."

The black-faced sentinel said.

"We wanted weapons, guns and guns, gunpowder, lead bullets and so on."

Lu Yan said with a smile.

"We can support your army with 20 steel knives, 30 spears, 50 catties of gunpowder, and 100 catties of lead, I don't know what Leader Lu thinks."

The black-faced sentry thought for a moment and said.

"These don't seem to be worth 50 pirate heads."

Lu Yan shook his head and said.

"Your Excellency, you don't know anything, and if you make a deal with your adult, we are risking losing our heads. If someone reports it, our official clothes will be stripped off. And we're just a small water village, so it's nice to have these stocks. ”

The black-faced sentinel immediately began to complain.

These are his strengths, in fact, the real reason is that they are worried that Lu Yan will turn his face and deny people after accepting this batch of materials, and then they will lose their wives and soldiers.

Lu Yan listened to him babbling for a long time, in fact, he didn't plan to squeeze out much oil and water from this poor water village.

So he stopped complaining.

"Well, in that case, I won't embarrass you."

Lu Yan said.

Hearing this, the black-faced sentinel couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Thank you so much, sir."

"But I hope Lord Hong can sell me some gunpowder and weapons, and I'm willing to pay for them. Of course, if you like pirate heads, you can also trade these for it. ”

Lu Yan said with a smile.

"This?"

In fact, the black-faced sentinel was extremely impressed.

If they agreed, then it would mean a steady stream of success.

Getting promoted and getting rich will be a breeze.

But this matter is not something he can decide, so he smiled bitterly, and then said: "I'm afraid this matter still needs my family to make an idea." ”

"I understand, it's bothering your family."

Lu Yan said.

"Also, we adults want you to join us in a play to deceive the villagers of the island. You fired a few shots tonight, and we were able to report the damage to those weapons. ”

The black-faced sentinel said again.

Lu Yan and Jia Xu looked at each other and smiled, and immediately agreed.

After discussing the details of the deal, they sent the black-faced sentry away.

Jia Xu said: "That's right, it seems that this matter has been decided. ”

"That's right, as long as they get their ships away, everything will be fine."

At this, both of them burst out laughing.

Is a sailor without a sea vessel still called a sailor?

So that night, Lu Yan fired a few shots at the military fort, and shouted to kill for a while.

Of course, in fact, the soldiers on the fort were also on standby, lest the thief army really attack the city.

When they found out that this army of thieves had fully complied with the agreement, they were relieved.

And then it's time to take advantage of the hack!

Hong Jiyuan let his cronies personally guard a city wall, and then hung down what Lu Yan needed, and completed the deal with Lu Yan.

After the next day, after the sky brightened, Lu Yan finally withdrew from Penghu Island with his troops.

After seeing Lu Yan leave with his subordinates, Hong Jiyuan finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and then he hurriedly sent someone to deliver a letter to the deputy chief soldier of the Central Left Institute.

"Hurry up and inform the deputy commander-in-chief, just say that this village has encountered thousands of rebels from Liaodong attack, and this officer will attack them head-on, and then know the righteousness. Only then did they come to their senses and finally retreat in shame. ”

Hong Jiyuan unceremoniously used most of the black-faced sentry's words.

"By the way, send this letter of confession to the deputy commander-in-chief."

"Yes, my lord."

But it didn't take long for the soldiers who had gone to deliver the letter to return to the fort with a bitter face.

"Lord Qiyu, all of our warships are gone."

"How could the ship not be seen?"

Hong Jiyuan was shocked.

"I heard from some fishermen that the bandit army drove all those warships away!"

Hearing this, Hong Jiyuan couldn't help but squirt a mouthful of blood, and then pointed to the sky and scolded: "Straight lady thief, count yourself ruthless." ”

But the letter still had to be delivered, so he ordered a fisherman to carry him to the center of the left to deliver the letter.

****

*****

Zhang Jiace, deputy chief soldier of the Central Left Institute, looked incredulous after reading the news from Hong Jiyuan.

"Liaodong Frontier Army? How could the Liaodong border army come here. ”

The Liaodong Frontier Army is thousands of miles away from here, and that Lu Yan is full of food and has traveled so far to come here to be a pirate.

He carefully examined the confession document, and it was indeed true.

This made Zhang Jiace feel full of solemnity, once this matter reached the court, it might cause a sensation in the entire court.

At the time of the complete defeat of Liaodong, the dignified Liaodong border army actually became a thief because of insufficient military salaries, what a big deal.

"Quick, send this news to the governor for processing, and bring this letter of confession with you."

Zhang Jiace said.

"Yes, my lord."

Soon, some soldiers took these reports, and then quickly sent them to Zhou Zuo, the governor of Fujian, for processing.

Zhang Jiace still felt a little uneasy about this matter, and how many fools could be mixed up to the level of deputy commander-in-chief.

What is righteous, and the other party is ashamed and goes away is definitely a real nonsense.

Maybe that Hong Jiyuan secretly made some deal with him.

So what are they going to do in Penghu?

******

******

Tongshan Water Village, one of the five major water villages of the Ming Dynasty, is located on the current Dongshan Island.

In the early years of Hongwu, he led the army to defend Tongshan with the selection of guards and officers.

In the forty-second year of Jiajing, the title was changed to Qinyi General Member, non-flood time and month, the group parked in Zhaiao, took turns to go out, and prevented thieves; The flood season is divided into four outposts, the outpost Zhenhai, the left outpost Luao, the right outpost Shazhou, the back outpost Horseshoe Crab Ao, each flood control letter, the land is dangerous, and Hengyu, Caiyu, Jingzai Bay, and Daxiaoganshan are the most dangerous islands in the outer ocean.

In the ninth year of Wanli, a Zhejiang barracks was added here.

The officers and men of each battalion shall be named four hundred and fifty; There are one general officer, four sentinel officers, 17 sentinel commanders, 49 captains and secretaries, two general officers, two jianbu, one each of the four sentinel officers, and 347 soldiers.

It is set up for the coast guard along the border and is stationed outside the city of Zatongshan. In normal times, the regiment practiced bomb pressure, from Tongshan to Xuanzhong, Zhao'an and other coastal Yau Tangling, Fengshan and other holes, all of them were guarded, and if there was something, they listened to the dispatch and suppression.

If it is full, there should be at least more than 1,000 people in Tongshan Cottage.

But unfortunately, this is the Ming Dynasty, and there are almost no cases of the army being full.

Due to the layers of officials peeling their skins and the deduction of officers, there are only more than 800 officers and soldiers in Tongshan.

However, because they often blackmailed maritime merchants, their lives were much better than those of the guards in the mainland.

Although the sun is shining today, Mao is still holding his two concubines in the big **, and the snoring is shocking.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside.

Then his door was banged incessantly.

"My lord, it's not good, just now you came to report that there were two Hongyi big ships robbed five miles northeast of Dongshan Island."

"What do you say? Robbery outside Higashiyama Island. ”

Hearing this, the Mao who had just opened his eyes couldn't help but be furious!

Isn't this a slap in the face of their Tongshan Shan Zhai? dared to rob under the nose of Tongshan Water Village.

"Why don't you arrest them?"

Mao stood up and put on his clothes, then opened the door and said.

"Those two are Hongyi warships, and the ships are very tall, each with at least 5,000 materials."

The soldier said with a bitter face.

"5,000 materials?"

Hearing this, Mao Zongxian was completely awakened.

As the general manager of Tongshan Water Village, he has also seen a lot of Hongyi warships, but he has never seen a 5,000-material Hongyi warship.

"Hurry up and call Mr. Su, let's go outside and have a look."

Mao always felt that this matter would not be small, and it was better to call Su General of the Zhejiang Barracks.

"Yes, my lord."

Soon, General Mao and the general of the Zhejiang Barracks gathered all the officers and soldiers and came to the dock.

Although no ships were found, they could still occasionally hear the rumbling of cannon coming from the northeast.

"What should we do?"

Mr. Mao asked.

"I don't think it's good!"

Su Daren said with a gloomy face.

Mao also nodded, daring to rob outside the Tongshan Water Village, and it was a big ship of 5,000 materials, not only because the comer was not good.

"Either we leave some men to defend the city, and then we will go and take down these two Hongyi warships together."

Mr. Mao said.

Although these were only two Hongyi warships, Mao Zongxian did not dare to be careless at all.

Because its tonnage was so large, he estimated that he would have to gather the strength of the whole village to be able to take it.

"Well, then, if we don't do anything, we will definitely be blamed by Shangguan."

Su Daren nodded.

Now that the two had reached an agreement, they quickly dispatched their warships, took their rockets, and headed northeast.

Fierce waves crashed on the Holy Trinity and San Jose, swaying the ship gently.

A ship of about 1,200 yuan was hooked and fastened to the "San Jose", and several soldiers jumped onto the ship through the cable, and then criticized and educated the ship's owner.

"Remember, don't resist when you encounter our flag in the future, we will only take one percent of the goods. If you resist, you have to take 30%. ”

That maritime merchant is like a mourner, the sky is pitiful, Tongshan Shui Village is only a few miles away from here, how can he meet a thief here.

But as the so-called heroes don't suffer immediate losses, in the face of these ferocious pirates, he can only bow his head and pretend to be his grandson.

At this time, a summons came from the "San Jose".

"Come on, leave this ship alone, the enemy is coming."

Hearing this, the soldiers hurriedly climbed onto the "San Jose" along the cable.

As if he had been granted amnesty, the merchant hastily ordered the sailors to sail away.

At this time, a large number of small boats were already fanning up in the distance.

Seeing this, Deng Zilong's expression was a little complicated.

And those portholes have all been opened, revealing the muzzles of black holes.
