"Get back on board." Someone shouted. At this time, the soldiers of the amphibious battalion had already begun to step out of the cover and shoot face-to-face with the thieves.

In order to get to the relatively safe ship as soon as possible, the people on board inevitably pushed and shoved, causing a commotion. The land and water battalions also took advantage of this time and opened fire on the dense crowd.

Wave after wave of people fell, blood flowing down the rocks, some seeping into the sea, and the water turned red.

Suddenly, a man in the bow of the boat held a short knife across his neck and shouted, "Don't move, I am the Wang Quan you want to catch, stop quickly, or I will kill myself." ”

Zhu Yuan waved back, and the soldiers stopped firing, but continued to reload ammunition in case of accidents. "I am Wang Quan, and the credit for bringing me back to the Ming Dynasty alive is far greater than death." The man's voice was a little hoarse, but everyone in the vicinity heard him.

"Big boss, we fought with them." "Yes, the big bosses, they are all men, but they are not afraid of death." The thieves behind him persuaded the middle-aged man standing at the bow of the boat, but the man was unmoved, still staring at the soldiers of the land and water battalion, to be precise, at Zhu Yuan, whose uniform was different from others.

Zhu Yuan looked at him sixty or seventy meters apart, and suddenly Zhu Yuan sneered, "Are you going to descend now?" Wang Quan frowned, the corners of his mouth tugged for a moment, and then he regained his composure, "That's right, this general, we are surrendering now, but I hope you promise me to go around the rest of the people without dying." ”

Zhu Yuan raised his head slightly, and his eyes seemed to be condescending, and he said, "Oh? What qualifications do you have to negotiate with me now? The entrance to the sea is guarded by our boats, and our people are also on the shore. On this island, where else can you fly? ”

"Hehe, to put it bluntly, arrest me and go to the Ming Dynasty, if I live, I can cut off my head for the people to see, this kind of merit is far greater than taking back a head. In addition, I was the one who went to the sea to catch the official document in the Ming Dynasty, and I can receive a reward of 10,000 taels of silver just for the first rank. In this way, the general is afraid that it will be enough to even promote to the third level. Wang Quan seems to be very confident.

Zhu Yuan shook his head slightly, "First of all, we are not prepared to kill those people on the island. As for your men, you can also spare some capital crimes. As for you, we don't care if you're alive or dead. Because we weren't the ones who brought you back. ”

Wang Quan was stunned for a moment, "Li family? Don't want such a great future? "Zhu Yuan is the interface", there is no need to play such a small trick to sow discord. I only ask you, whether to descend or not. The soldiers of the land and water battalion in the back also shouted, "Drop or not." Wang Quan's eyes darkened slightly, and he suddenly smiled, "I didn't expect that there are really crows in this world that are not black." Okay, I'm down. With a "dang bang", the dagger landed on the deck.

"Big boss." "It's impossible to be in charge." "I can't listen to the words of the imperial court, and I'm going to die anyway, so it's better to fight." A few people behind him begged around Wang Quan. Wang Quan sighed, "There's no way, believe it once." There are still so many people on the island who have gambled to the last time. ”

Zhu Yuan nodded, "You guys lost your weapons, and then you all got off the boat." A group of people behind Wang Quan still need to be persuaded again, and Wang Quan yelled, "You still don't listen to me, and you still don't listen to the last words in this life." The pirates fell silent, either in dismay, or in dismay, stamping their chests and lowering their weapons, and slowly stepping off the board. At this time, the soldiers of the land and water battalion also stepped forward to take them into custody.

Wang Quan was the first to get off the boat, and at this time, Zhu Houwei and Li Huamei also walked out of behind the boulder. Zhu Houwei asked in a low voice, "Is this the person?" Li Huamei and the three of them had all seen Wang Quan, and after the three of them nodded, Zhu Houwei was also relieved.

Zhu Houwei took a closer look, this famous pirate along the coast of the Ming Dynasty turned out to be just an ordinary-looking person, less than 1.7 meters tall, with rough and dark skin, and a fierce temperament that looked like a smuggler of salt. But the pirates he led did all the heinous bad things.

Zhu Houwei smiled and said to Li Huamei, "In this way, Wang Quan and the leaders under him will be handed over to your Li family." As for the others, I am still useful. Li Huamei nodded, bowed slightly and hugged her fists, "Thank you Zhu Gongzi." ”

A soldier ran to Zhu Yuan's side and said a few words, and then Zhu Yuan walked up to Zhu Houwei and said softly, "Second young master, there are about 100,000 yuan of money on the ship. Zhu Houwei looked at Li Huamei and the three who were identifying the pirates, and said, "Give them too." Zhu Yuan frowned, but nodded anyway.

Zhu Houwei looked at Zhu Yuan's expression and smiled, "Our current maritime forces are all in the north, but the importance of the south is no less than that of the north. This time we gave so much, the Li family will also have something to say. Those who do maritime trading do not have a backer and do not do it for a long time. Moreover, our sailors are all trained by themselves, and they are really not comparable to those who have been floating at sea for decades. When the time comes, borrow some people, and you can train faster. This navy is not something that can be trained in a short period of time. Zhu Yuan loosened his brows, and his face was calm.

After an hour, everyone returned to Sanyang Village, and it was already noon. The soldiers of the land and water battalions also began to bury pots and cook. Li Huamei returned to the Li family's station with Wang Quan and a dozen or so selected leaders. The water and land battalion rested in Sanyang Village, and the number of prisoners was counted, there were more than 500 in total, most of them were women, girls and children, but the number of young and strong people was less than 100.

Soon, the rice was cooked, and it was all fragrant rice, and each of the captives received a portion, as well as some pickles. But the funny thing is that some people cried out with their rice bowls, and the people from the land and water camp went up to ask and found out that they thought it was a severed head meal, so that you could eat and drink enough to send you on your way. Looking at these weeping women and old men, Zhu Houwei couldn't cry or laugh.

In the end, Zhu Yuan first asked these people to receive the meal, then set up a platform, went up and shouted, "You all eat with confidence, this is not a severed head meal." As long as you are obedient, your life can be saved. In the present state of affairs, we will also deceive you. But if anyone dares to disobey, then this will be your last meal. Okay, let's eat. In order to "calm the hearts of the people", Zhu Yuan also held a big bowl of rice on the high platform to eat, compared with the captive, there were more vegetables and meat in the bowl, and the captive looked at it again, and the other soldiers also ate the same, so he immediately put his mind at ease and buried himself in eating.

After lunch, the captives were ordered to pack up the belongings of the village and prepare to be loaded on ships to take away. As for Sanyang Village, everyone knows that it will inevitably end up being burned down. Although the captives were unwilling, they could only accept it.

After investigation, it was found that among these captives, there were more than 300 people belonging to Sanyang Village, and Wang Quan also brought more than 100 people, and most of these more than 100 people were children, women and girls. Before she could ask in detail, the soldier came to report, and Li Huamei asked to see her.

In the largest Yangfu hall house in Sanyang Village, Zhu Houwei and Zhu Yuan sat and drank tea, and Huang Gonggong and Hong Yu stood behind Zhu Houwei. After a while, three figures slowly walked into the hall.
