Chapter 288: There Must Be Ghosts in a Weak Heart There is thunder but no rain

"Let them come to the shore, and the people on the shipwreck will come ashore."

The boat stopped moving, Wang Tong immediately sent someone to give an order, and several teams came over, these people were carrying small boats, and when they arrived here, they let the boat enter the water and rowed over directly.

Tan Huo wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and shouted:

"Keep an eye on the movement on the river, if the boat on the river wants to take advantage of the loophole, it will open fire immediately!!"

Finally relaxed, Tan Huo looked at the twenty or so small sampans and rowed over, and the sailors on the sinking ship were not too flustered.

As long as they don't open fire, the depth of the Haihe River is nothing, and they also have a dinghy sampan on the boat, just put it down and obediently obey the orders.

The two boats behind were lowered with large nets of thick ropes, which were tools for people to go up and down, and watched the small sampans lean towards them, and the soldiers bit their swords and climbed up.

Tan Huo exhaled a long breath and was about to sit on the ground, but before his ass touched the ground, he heard a scream from the river.

Hurriedly looked over, and could see a young man who had just climbed up and fell from the boat, and everyone on the dinghy and sampan that leaned past was scolding angrily, and the sound could be heard clearly even on the shore.

The soldiers of the Jinyi Guard all accelerated their climbing speed, and Tan Huo's side jumped up again as if he was burning his buttocks, and shouted loudly:

"Ready, ready, listen to me, ready to fire at any time!!"

"In reply, the third battalion lost a brother, and when he climbed onto the side of the ship, he was stabbed by the man, and he was unprepared. ”

Li Tao said to Wang Tong while paddling, Wang Tong's face was a little gloomy, he thought it was a sure thing, but he didn't expect to throw a life into it.

"The bereavement pension will be doubled, and it will be sent to this person's home tonight, if there is any difficulty in this person's home, we will solve it as appropriate!"

Tan Bing behind him hurriedly agreed, Li Tao paused, and opened his mouth to report again:

"The man was then hacked to death by the men on their ship, and four others were also tied up, and the little ones saw something on the boat, and it would be better to ask the adults to come and examine it."

After a short period of fighting on the ship, the artillery here was ready to fire, but it subsided quickly, and the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard went on the ship and went ashore to find Wang Tong.

They climbed up the ship along the thick rope net, and when they got on deck, they could see the sailors on the ship, under the watchful eye of the soldiers, and began to set sail, but this time they were on the shore.

The corpse has not been carried yet, but he can see that the blade that killed the Jinyi guards is a narrow sword, Wang Tong frowned and looked at it, turned his head and said:

"Bring the ship's boss and a few bosses over here!"

Under the order, the person was immediately brought over, and Wang Tong opened his mouth and asked:

"Where are you from?"

"Back to the big man, the little ones are from Yuegang, Fujian."

This is not unexpected, Wang Tong nodded, pointed to the corpse and said:

"Who is this person?"

The captain of the ship and a businessman looked at each other, kowtowed again, and said:

"Back to the big lord, the villains should die, this thief is a widow, hijacked the villains and the whole boat, fortunately the adults led the crowd to arrive, the little ones dared to resist, the big man is really reborn to the little ones, and the little people want to set up an immortal tablet for the big man."

This is not true, Wang Tong sneered but did not speak, turned around and looked at the four people who were tied up on the other side.

All four of them were short and stocky, with resentful expressions on their faces, and the people at sea were all wrapped in turbans, and the headscarves of these people were torn off, revealing their hair.

However, the hair was very strange, the hair at the door of the head was very short, but it was a short stubble, and the long hair was scattered on both sides, Wang Tong stared at it a few times, but he remembered some of the images he had seen in that life - this is the hairstyle of the samurai of the Wa Kingdom.

The four people saw that Wang Tong was closer, and one of them suddenly spit out with a "phew", Wang Tong dodged sideways, and the guards behind him scolded a few times, and they were about to do it when they went up. But he was stopped by Wang Tong and said in a cold voice:

"Don't fight!"

As he spoke, he took out the embroidered spring knife on his waist and slashed down at the man, with a "poof", his head fell to the ground, and blood spurted out wildly. Wang Tong wiped the blood stains on the knife on the sole of his boot, put the knife into the sheath, and asked:

"Where are you from?"

No one thought that Wang Tong would kill if he said to kill, the resentment on the faces of the three people immediately changed to fear, and when they saw Wang Tong asking, they hurriedly shrank back.

"Master, let's go to the cargo hold first!"

General Tan reminded him later, Wang Tong nodded, and walked towards the cabin, this sea ship is much larger than the Cao ship, and the cargo loaded is also very large.

"My lord, when my subordinates saw so many weapons, they felt that the matter was not small, and they were afraid that after they went ashore, there would be a lot of talk and leaks, so please come and take a look."

As soon as he entered the cabin, the light was a little dim, Wang Tong got used to it, and then his face immediately became gloomy, the goods in the cabin of the other party's cargo were wrapped in linen cloth or straw bags, and several straw bags had been cut, revealing the spear tip about half a foot long.

The long-distance battle at sea relies on artillery and bows and arrows, the space at close range is narrow, and the short weapon is used to fight, and the tip of the spear is used to equip the army's weapons.

The place where the spear is really used on a large scale is the army, Wang Tong picked up the tip of a spear and looked at it, about a foot of iron sleeve, about a foot of the tip of the spear, the construction is decent, he asked in a deep voice:

"Look at each bag and see what it is?"

Li Tao answered beside him, but someone on the side shouted:

"My lord, come and see." There were a few wooden boxes piled up in the corner, and they were also pried open at this time, Wang Tong walked over to take a look, but there were some armor that had not been assembled, the style was very strange, it was not the standard of the Ming military, but it was not clear what it looked like, but someone behind him scolded hatefully:

"These bastards!!"

The voice is Tan Jiang's, with Tan Jiang's usual calm and seriousness, there are not many things that can make him lose his temper like this, Wang Tong glanced back in surprise, Tan Jiang's expression was a little distorted, and he pointed to the armor and said:

"This is the armor used by the Japanese generals... These pirates who don't have the law of kings really deserve a thousand cuts!! ”

"They deserve to be killed, and those who sell their weapons and armor deserve to be killed!!"

Wang Tong said a word expressionlessly, and did not continue to look at it, but walked directly to the deck, and when he went up, he commanded:

"Affix a seal, no one is allowed to enter except the official!"

Walking up to the deck, where the ship's boss, the four sailors, and the man dressed as a merchant were still kneeling, Wang Tong strode up to him and asked indifferently:

"Who asked for this cargo, and from whom did you buy it?"

The few people kneeling on the ground trembled in unison, and the few people exchanged glances, and the boss of the boat kowtowed his head again, and said in an official dialect with a thick Fujian accent:

"Big man, the little ones are indeed ......"

"Poof", the words of the ship boss came to an abrupt end, the bones in his head were dripping, blood sprayed the deck in front of him, and several people around him screamed in fright, the knife in Wang Tong's hand was not stained with any blood, his face was cold, and he pointed at those people with the tip of the knife and said:

"Ask later, if you don't say it, kill the second one!!"

After saying that, turning around, a young sailor leader looked left and right with a pale face, and suddenly broke forward, the guard behind Wang Tong thought that he was going to attack, and stepped forward to knock over a few times, and the sailor leader shouted loudly:

"Master, this batch of goods is going to be sent to Kyushu, and it is Gonggong Lu from Tianjin who sold it to us......"

Before he finished speaking, several people around him scolded and pounced in Fujian, and then they were stopped by the soldiers, Wang Tong stopped and sneered twice, but said:

"Look, don't let people get close to this ship, and don't let the people on this boat escape, or military law will be involved!"

Li Tao hurriedly agreed.

Then until the boat docked, Wang Tong was silent, and when he arrived on the shore, Tan Jiang was just about to ask a question, but Wang Tong sent someone to call Ma Sanbiao, and Ma Sanbiao shouted loudly as soon as he approached:

"My lord, our horse team doesn't have any work here, look at the brothers of the infantry team......"

"Gather all the horse teams, go to the firearms workshop, the workshop inside and outside the official to show the official a strict look, no one is allowed to run out, even if it is that Lu Gonggong, whoever wants to break in and kill people directly!!"

Ma Sanbiao didn't expect this order, he was stunned for a moment, and then excitedly agreed, and went to ride a horse to greet his subordinates, Wang Tong turned back to Tan Jiang and said:

"Brother Tan, you will lead the second battalion once, and send someone to the mansion of Grandpa Nalu in the city first, he shouldn't know the news here, don't let this person escape!"

It was the first time for Wang Tong to call Tan Wei Brother Tan, which also showed that he was cautious about this matter, and Tan Jiang also knew that this matter was not simple, so he hurriedly agreed cautiously, and also hurriedly went.

Watching the people go in the direction of the city, Wang Tong took a long breath, turned to Sun Dahai and said:

"The sea, bring everyone on these big ships and ships here, let the soldiers start to clear the field, and drive everyone away, fight those who don't leave, and kill those who don't leave!!"

In a short time, in addition to the blocked sea ship, more than a dozen ships were brought up and down, and there were nearly a thousand people, although they were all strong men and did not look like any good people, but everyone was very honest, the swarthy cannon was placed on the side, and the continuous thunderous sound just now made everyone dare not have other thoughts.

Everyone saw the fighting on the river just now, and after the shelling, the tattered and miserable appearance of the three sea boats was also seen by everyone, and they were gathered by Wang Tong, and they all trembled and didn't know what would happen next.

Looking at this group of people, Wang Tong found a high dirt bag and stood up, squeezed a smile on his face, and said loudly:

"Don't worry, everyone, after checking the goods and paying the taxes, everyone can leave by boat!!"

The scene was silent, and everyone was stunned.
