Seeing the smoke rising from the island, Yuan Gang was shocked, there were only dozens of guards on the island, and the rest were all old and weak women and children, and looking at the few warships parked on the dock, they could carry at least a thousand soldiers.

"General, help!" Yuan Gang turned around, and Potong knelt down in front of Zheng Zhiyuan, and pleaded loudly, maybe with the excellent equipment on this ship, he could defeat the few ships that attacked the island.

Zheng Zhiqiang's expression was a little puzzled, "Big brother, how does it look like our warship?" When Zheng Zhiyuan heard this, he was surprised and delighted, and when the Izumo walked another distance, what appeared in their field of vision was the two three thousand material warships and three thousand material warships that were lost in the storm, and two thousand material warships were missing.

At this time, the Izumo and the sailor soldiers driving the other two pirate ships cheered loudly, and they all saw that the attack on this island was actually the lost comrades, and when they heard the cheers of the other party, Yuan Gang sat on the ground with his ass, it was over, it was all over, and he was counting on these fierce gods to save the guys on the island, but they were actually in a group.

At this time, they were also spotted on the other side, and a three-thousand-material warship separated and quickly headed for this side.

"General!" The commander of the ship, Song Mingming, looked excited, "I can be regarded as looking for you." ”

Grabbing Song Mingming's shoulder, Zheng Zhiyuan looked excited, "The brothers are all right, what about the two ships?" ”

Song Faming said with a gloomy expression: "General, those two ships failed to withstand the wind and waves, they have sunk, and none of the brothers on the ship have been rescued. It was only after the storm had passed that we found most of the brothers' bodies in the nearby waters, and some brothers did not even find their bodies. ”

Zheng Zhiyuan was silent for a long time, and said: "That's it, the general will inevitably die in a hundred battles, and they will die in the sea, which can be regarded as a well-deserved death, by the way, why are you attacking this island?" ”

Song Ming said: "We lost the news of the general, after collecting the remains of the dead brothers, we sailed all the way to the east, thinking that the general is also in this direction, maybe there will be encountered, but coincidentally, we found this island on the way forward, originally everyone did not want to attack this island, we are still anxious to find the general, that know, as soon as the people on this island saw us, they immediately lit a beacon fire, and even set fire to the dock, we looked at it, we knew that this island must be a bandit, a big guy, I'm going to clean them up and then rush to the mouth, then I know that when I attack the island, it's a group of old and weak women and children, and now the big guy is in a dilemma, I don't know how to deal with it? ”

Yuan Gang jumped up all of a sudden, "How many people have you killed?" ”

Song Ming glanced at him, wondering where this guy jumped out of nowhere, but still replied, "What are you killing?" A group of old and weak people who can't even dance with a big sword and spear are just taking care of it. By the way, who are you? ”

Zheng Zhiqiang smiled: "Lord Song, this guy is the master of this island, the pirate leader Yuan Gang, the bandit Black Eagle, led two ships to fight our idea, but we were picked up instead, and now he is our prisoner." ”

Song Ming laughed, "Dare to fight the idea of our fleet, you are really hanged by the birthday star, you are too long, general, what should I do now?" ”

Zheng Zhiyuan waved his hand and said, "Go to the island first, everyone has been floating on the sea for so long, just go to the island to rest."

Lianshan Island, Fang Yuan is about 40 kilometers, most of the coastal cliffs are steep, only one side is relatively flat, Yuan Gang's wharf is built here, two mountain peaks on the island are towering, in the middle is a relatively low beam connecting the two peaks together, the mountain is lush, along the hillside upward, on the sunny side you can see some houses made of wood, and at this time, on the pier, thousands of women and children are sitting on the beach with dull eyes, around them, heavily armed pioneer sailors are guarding them.

Zheng Zhiyuan glanced at it, most of these people were women and children, there were few old people, and there were many cripples who lacked arms and legs, probably injured and disabled in their previous bandit careers, and saw the pirates who were strung together being escorted out, and these people showed a desperate look on their faces, and there was a faint sound of sobbing in the crowd.

Yuan Gang followed Zheng Zhiyuan's side, trying not to look at these people, but the corner of his eye still couldn't help but scan the crowd, as if he saw something, Yuan Gang shook his head slightly. Seeing Zheng Zhiqiang's gaze, he quickly lowered his head and said to Zheng Zhiyuan: "General Zheng, this dock and the wooden houses in front of it are the residences of the people below, and the place where I live is still halfway up the mountain, I led the general over, although Yuan is not rich, but he still has a net worth of tens of thousands of taels of silver, so he took it and sent it to the general." ”

Zheng Zhiyuan was about to speak, and in the crowd, a five or six-year-old child suddenly broke free from a woman's hand and ran towards this side, shouting as he ran, "Daddy, you're back." Daddy, hug! ”

Yuan Gang's face changed greatly, Zheng Zhiyuan saw that the child was running towards his people, and the woman behind him was stumbling after him, but here, Yuan Gang was the only one. The child ran to Yuan Gang, stretched out his hands, and said in a milky voice: "Dad, hug!" Yuan Gang's face was covered in cold sweat, Zheng Zhiyuan smiled slightly, leaned over and picked up the child, looked at Yuan Gang and said, "Your son?" ”

Yuan Gang wanted to reach out and grab it, but halfway through, looking at the smile on Zheng Zhiyuan's face, he took it back in horror, and said in a dry tone: "Yes, it's the dog, who just turned five years old this year!" The boy was held in his arms by a stranger, but his father refused to hug him, and he cried loudly, Yuan Gang was shocked and frightened, for fear that the child would annoy Zheng Zhiyuan, and stretched out his hands nervously, as if to prevent Zheng Zhiyuan from throwing the child to the ground, at this time, the woman also rushed over and cried: "Liang'er, Liang'er!" ”

Zheng Zhiyuan smiled, and handed the child to the woman, "Yuan Gang, is this your wife?" Yuan Gang was greatly relieved to see his son being taken by the woman, "Exactly, it is Clumsy Jing." ”

Zheng Zhiyuan nodded, "Well, let's find a place to rest first." Everyone is tired too. ”

Most of the sailors stayed on the boats, only the marines and some of the sailors went ashore, and the old and weak on the island had long since been released, but their men were still in captivity. Zheng Zhiyuan settled down in a wooden house, rested for a while, and then opened the chart on a simple table, and marked the location of Lianshan Island in one place.

Looking at the geographical location of Lianshan Island, and then thinking about the size and steepness of this island, Zheng Zhiyuan couldn't help but have an idea in his mind, didn't Commander Deng say that he wanted to establish an island chain in the open sea to lock the southern sailors, this Lianshan Island is a large island suitable for repairing fortresses that he has encountered since he went to sea, and it can be used as the first supply point for Fuzhou Water to meet the sea.

If you want to build a fortress on Lianshan Island, what should Yuan Gang's gang do? Zheng Zhiyuan couldn't help but make a difficulty, he couldn't kill him, most of these people were old, weak, women and children, and he couldn't kill him. After a few turns in the house, the face of the previous child flashed in his mind, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, yes, if this Yuan Gang is used properly, he will become his own powerful helper, this guy has been mixed in the depths of the Black Water Ocean for so long, and he must be familiar with the hydrological waterways in this area, with this guy, he doesn't know how much less effort will be spent on his own exploration, but this guy has been a pirate for a long time, and he is definitely not used to the strict discipline in the army, so he must find something to restrain him, so that he can willingly serve the Fuzhou Sailor.

A smile appeared at the corner of Zheng Zhiyuan's mouth, and he stretched out for a long time, he was tired today, so he had a good night's sleep first, and then he would talk to this Black Eagle Yuan tomorrow.

Not far from Zheng Zhiyuan's residence is Yuan Gang's home, compared to the home of ordinary pirates, Yuan Gang's residence is not much better, but it is larger, and the house is more elaborate.

The woman from before was sitting on a chair with her son in her arms, and was nervously asking Yuan Gang, "What should we do now, will they kill us?" ”

Yuan Gang glanced at the two guards standing outside the door, and shook his head, "They won't kill us, they're just passers-by, I'm unlucky, I bumped into them, and I lost my troops, and I heard the general in charge say that he would only replenish some supplies on our island and leave." ”

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, we'll give them whatever they want tomorrow, and it's right to send them away sooner." ”

Yuan Gang smiled bitterly: "Is this up to us, if they really just replenish some supplies and leave, is it possible that I am not willing to give up my life and money, but I have a bad premonition, this matter will not be so simple." ”

The two of them were relatively speechless, this year was really unfavorable, and they encountered such evil gods.

The next day, Yuan Gang, who was nervous and sleepless all night, was brought to Zheng Zhiyuan, Zheng Zhiyuan was leaning over to look at the chart, saw Yuan Gang come in, and said with a smile: "Yuan Gang, sit!" ”

Yuan Gang laughed dryly, "General Zheng, don't you want to replenish the supplies, I have ordered them to be ready, water, grain, dried meat, in short, as long as there is something on the island, I will take it out." ”

Zheng Zhiyuan glanced at him with a smile, "You're in such a hurry to drive me away?" ”

Yuan Gang hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, no, as long as the general is willing, stay here for as long as he wants." As soon as the words came out, I felt that it was too blunt, and it was obviously wrong, so I couldn't help but stop my mouth in embarrassment.

"Sit down!" Zheng Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and pointed to the chair opposite him, "Yuan Gang, do you know who we are?" ”

Yuan Gang shook his head blankly, "General, looking at your attire and behavior, you should be the sailor of the imperial court, but we know very well that there is no such thing as you." ”

Zheng Zhiyuan nodded, "That's right, do you know Dingzhou Li Qing Li Dashuai?" ”

Yuan Gang was shocked, "You mean Dingzhou Li Qing who destroyed the grassland, you, you are his person, I, I have heard that Dingzhou Li Dashuai is a great hero, by the way, you are Fuzhou Sailors, how can you appear here?" ”

Zheng Zhiyuan said: "Yes, we are the Fuzhou Water Division, why are we here, military secrets at this time, but I want to tell you one thing now, I'm afraid it will disappoint you, we are going to build a base on Lianshan Island, for the time being, we will not leave here!" ”
