Chapter 105: There is no rudeness to come
After this disaster on Treasure Island, the village that had just been a little bit of a shape became devastated again, and the burned houses were poked there black with wood used as supports, which made people look a little gloomy.
At this moment, they lost several people, including Ma Face, and injured a few, which caused their strength to suffer a considerable loss temporarily.
But the better thing is that this time they did not lose in vain, although they burned some houses and lost a few manpower, but they wiped out all the people brought by Zhou Cheng, and also captured seventeen of Zhou Cheng's men, and also captured Zhou Cheng's boat, so that they had one more usable boat.
Yu Xiaotian summed it up, now counting the sand boat they robbed, with their original small fishing boat, they already have four boats, and the manpower has increased to nearly sixty people, as long as these people are collected for their own use, then his strength will more than double compared to when he first went to sea, so this attack on Treasure Island is also a blessing and a curse for him.
Although the death of the horse face is an irreparable loss for their sea wolf, to some extent, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Xiaotian.
As the second leader, Ma Face has a high prestige among the people born in Xiaohuangdao, this kind of prestige has always been a hidden danger for Xiaotian, many times Yu Xiaotian has to take into account Ma Yan's face and his ideas, although Ma Face has always been more supportive of him during this time, but he has to say that his existence, for Xiaotian, has always been a kind of containment.
Now that the horse face is dead, among the old people, Liu Laoliu has the highest prestige, and Meng Crazy has few eyes, Li Gouzi is timid, Zhao Mazi is mainly responsible for external contact, Liu Laoliu is his most important supporter of Yu Xiaotian, and several other old guys are not capable of challenging Yu Xiaotian's prestige, so that after the lack of horse face, the people of Xiaohuangdao have lost a backbone, and in the next few days, they can only wholeheartedly attach themselves to Xiaotian's side and serve Xiaotian as the Lord. And Yu Xiaotian is equivalent to completely mastering the dominance of this group of people.
For him who is just starting out, bad things have turned into good things, and he can decide things in the future more freely, without having to worry about the thoughts of the horse face.
Yu Xiaotian secretly thought about this incident, and secretly pondered in his heart that this incident was not a bad thing for him, but this kind of thought, he could only bury it in his heart and couldn't say it to anyone.
Just when everyone thought that this matter was over, they planned to rebuild the houses on Treasure Island, but Yu Xiaotian did not think so, but ordered not to consider repairing the houses for the time being, leaving some people to take care of the quarantined prisoners, carefully selected more than 20 capable people, simply cleaned up Zhou Cheng's boat, and after briefly repairing the cracks in the hull, drained the water in the cabin, and boarded the boat Yang Fan went to sea and sailed towards the north.
And the one who went to sea with the ship was also Meng Fei who had a black spot on his face, now everyone calls him a grimace, but Meng Fei didn't care about this title, anyway, since he was a child, he has been used to being ridiculed for this black spot on his face.
In Xiaotian's view, this matter did not end because of Zhou Cheng's death, since Zhou Cheng did the first year of junior high school, then he can't be blamed for being the fifteenth surnamed Yu.
In Zhou Cheng's lair, there were still twenty or thirty subordinates, including Zhou Cheng's wives and concubines, some meat tickets they tied up on the shore, and some of their subordinates.
For Yu Xiaotian, these people and things are also things that must be obtained as soon as possible, if Zhou grows up and does not go back, these people will soon scatter with their belongings, so Yu Xiaotian took people on board the boat and pounced on Zhou Cheng's lair with the idea of never letting go.
Zhou Cheng's ship is much worse than their boat, the age of the ship is relatively long, and it has suffered relatively large damage, the bow is newly replaced, and the strength of the hull is average.
Originally, this boat could no longer be used without careful repair, but Yu Xiaotian still decided to take a risk and took people to sea on this boat, for no other purpose, that is, to use this boat to catch the people in Zhou Cheng's lair by surprise.
After interrogation, Yu Xiaotian learned that Zhou Cheng did not put his nest on a nearby island, but chose a small village called Donghai on the east coast of Haitan Island as their place to stay.
And Haitan Island is very large, there are 300 square kilometers, although the middle of the Ming Dynasty will move the inhabitants of the island, resulting in the island all industries are abandoned, Haitan Island has also become a paradise for the Japanese pirates, but over the years, the Japanese invaders in the imperial court under the blow, gradually sunset, the threat to China's coastal areas has also been greatly reduced, the Fujian government for the coastal area of the defense is gradually relaxed, so there are some people, secretly returned to Haitan Island to settle down, here has also become a lot of small pirates hiding den.
Some pirates pretend to be ordinary fishermen and fish at sea, but secretly they are pirates, often go out to sea to rob ships, and even go to land to harass them, while Zhou Cheng's gang is entrenched in the area of Donghai Village, which is to use the identity of ordinary fishermen as a cover, but they are doing pirate business.
After the grimace Meng Fei descended on Yu Xiaotian, he told Yu Xiaotian everything he knew in 1510, so that Yu Xiaotian knew the details of Zhou Cheng's lair, so he urgently took people to Donghai Village, Zhou Cheng's lair.
Donghai Village is a small village, a few years ago, one or two dozen fishermen gathered to fish and farm in this area for a living, but for more than a year, since Zhou Cheng brought people here, Donghai Village has been completely controlled by Zhou Cheng.
The original fishermen in the village were forced by Zhou Cheng and became his vassals, and the fish not only had to be honored to Zhou Cheng, but even their personal freedom was controlled by Zhou Cheng.
And Zhou Cheng went out to sea to hunt, like everyone else, he would not come out of the nest, and in his lair, there were also some subordinates left behind to take care of the house.
This time Zhou Cheng led people to sneak attack Treasure Island, but the whole army was wiped out, but the people in his lair did not suffer any losses, although they were not many, but if Yu Xiaotian swaggered to attack them, once Zhou Cheng's subordinates who stayed here forced the villagers of Donghai Village to resist, with Yu Xiaotian's strength, it may not be easy to take it down, so Yu Xiaotian came up with the idea of using Zhou Cheng's broken ship to attack his lair.
Fortunately, Liu Laoliu, the old sea wolf, has a deep understanding of the weather at sea, and before coming out this time, Liu Laoliu carefully observed the weather conditions and judged that there would be no big wind and waves at sea in the past few days, which laid a better foundation for their trip.
After they went to sea, although the damage to the hull has been simply repaired, and the large cracks have been plugged, some small cracks have not been thoroughly treated, so along the way, the bulkheads of the two damaged cabins of the ship are still constantly seeping water, so that the people on the ship are worried, and they must constantly check the hull cracks along the way, and continue to fill the cracks with rudimentary tools along the way to keep the hull from entering or disintegrating in large quantities.
Fortunately, Treasure Island is not far from Donghai Village on Haitan Island, the straight-line distance is only about 40 miles, and the wind and waves at sea are not big, although the boat has been damaged, but this trip can still insist on persevering, so after most of the day's sailing, in the evening, under the guidance of Meng Fei, they gradually sailed into the east coast of Haitan Island, and saw a small village on the shore of Haitan Island from a distance.
Donghai Village is very small, but there is a low wall around the village, you can see people moving outside the village from a distance, and there is a simple trestle bridge by the sea, which is obviously used for ships to dock and go ashore.
When they saw Zhou Cheng's boat appear on the beach, the people who were moving on the shore quickly noticed its approach, so someone immediately shouted and walked towards the sea, and walked onto the trestle bridge to greet them.
"Helm handle, you see, the guy at the front is the one in red, he is Zhou Cheng's righteous son, called Zhou Li, and he is nicknamed Sea Snake, nothing else, just because this guy is ruthless, more poisonous than Sea Snake!
But usually this guy is very good at pleasing Zhou Cheng, so he is quite valued by Zhou Cheng, and we people usually have to listen to his orders, this guy is here in Donghai Village and does not lack morality! Normally, if Zhou Cheng takes a boat to sea, he will let this guy stay at home! Just rest assured about this guy!
Sometimes Zhou Cheng doesn't come out, he will let him take people out to sea, which is almost our second master!
Don't be careless about this guy, this guy is said to have studied with a teacher in his early years, learned a good knife technique, and his skills are quite good, once a few masters of the ship guard, are folded in his hands, and it is very hard to deal with, and the helm handle should be especially careful about this guy for a while! As long as you can let go of this guy, everyone else will be easy to say! ”
Looking at the people who greeted the shore from afar, Meng Fei stood next to the mast, pointed to one of them and said to Yu Xiaotian beside him.
Yu Xiaotian hid behind the sails, quietly looked at the shore, and silently waved his hand to everyone on the boat, and everyone on the boat immediately turned their backs and avoided the sight of everyone on the shore.
"Meng Fei! You find a way to trick that guy into the boat, solve him first, and then say, if you do a good job this time, Yu will not treat you badly after you go back! Yu Xiaotian said to Meng Fei.
Meng Fei hurriedly nodded and said: "Don't worry, this guy doesn't hurt our subordinates on weekdays, none of us don't hate him so much that he grits his teeth, if the helmsman can kill this guy, it can be regarded as angry for us people!"
After a while, let the brothers not show their stuff, and I will come forward to trick that guy into killing him first! ”
The boat slowly approached the shore, and when it was still seven or eight meters away from the shore, the ship dropped its sails and stopped, and the hull of the ship stopped next to a simple trestle bridge, and a stone anchor fell into the sea with a thud.
The man in red stood on the trestle, watched the boat stop, looked up at the boat, frowned, and exclaimed, "Grimace! How did this ship come to this? What about my father-in-law? Why don't you see us in charge? ”
Meng Fei threw a coil of rope onto the trestle with all his might, let a few people on the trestle catch it, fixed the boat next to the trestle, and then lay on the bow of the boat and shouted, "Brother Li, the boss is injured!" This time we went out and ran into a hard idea, the big boss accidentally hit an arrow, fortunately we walked fast, this is barely back, the big boss is still lying on the boat at this time! Brother Li, hurry up and take a look! ”
Zhou Li had already seen the collision on the hull at this time, as well as the mottled bullet holes on the hull and the shaft of the broken arrow, and he could see at a glance that the ship must have encountered a hard idea when it went to sea this time, and he had a hard hand with someone, and it was also Meng Fei, their subordinate, who was talking to him on the side of the ship, so he didn't have any suspicions.
Hearing Meng Fei say that Zhou Cheng was injured, Zhou Li suddenly became nervous, and without saying a word, he stepped on the gangplank put down on the boat and walked towards the boat.
(The number of collections is still a little far from the estimate, so today I still have to ask all new friends to help collect!) In addition, I would like to thank the iron hand for the generous reward from the affectionate friend, thank you! )
