Volume 1 Rain in the East China Sea Chapter 77 [Storm at Sea]
The pirates all took out their bows and arrows, and some of them had already climbed the mast to look at it from afar, Han Mo followed Du Bingyue and ran to the side of the boat, and now Xiao Tongguang was also looking at it in fear, he didn't want to just get out of the wolf's den and enter the tiger's den.
Sure enough, on the sea in the distance, two huge black shadows appeared, and when I looked at the two ships, they were much bigger than the ship of the bandits.
Du Bingyue frowned slightly, looked at the incoming ship, and turned her head sideways to Han Mo and said: "Little Fifth Brother, our ship is very large among the ships of the people at sea, but there is no group of people who are bigger than our ship, and the other party has two boats, which is even rarer, I estimate that it is not a ship of people at sea." ”
Han Mo stared at the incoming ship for a moment, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Yue'er, you guessed right, it's not a ship of the people on the sea, it's a warship of our Zhenfu Army!" ”
……
Suppress the warships of the army.
Han Yuan had a calm face and sat on the bow deck with a worried face.
That night, he suddenly saw the enemy ship of the bandits, but he felt a little strange, after all, there was no one on this sea who dared to provoke the warship of the Zhenfu army so blatantly, although he felt that something was wrong, but Cheng Xu, the commander of the Zhenfu army, saw the enemy ship, and was eager to take credit, shouting that it was a night attack by the bandits, and ordered the two ships to pursue.
After the two ships chased them out, in the darkness of night, the maneuverability was not as agile as that of the small boats, and they quickly lost the enemy ships, and had to return in a huff.
Cheng Xu knew that he had fallen into the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and it was too late to regret it, so he could only ask Changde for his guilt.
When Han Yuan learned that Han Mo had been arrested, he was shocked and worried, and immediately ordered the mobilization of the Zhenfu army warships to search for him at sea.
Chang Dehou was also worried about Han Mo's whereabouts, so he naturally agreed, Han Yuan immediately drove a small boat back to the camp and explained the situation to Han Xuanling, Han Xuanling learned that Han Mo was arrested, and heard that Chang Dehou ordered to send a ship to search for it, and did not hesitate, and immediately dialed two medium-sized warships, led by Huang Jingdan, to assist Han Yuan in searching for the whereabouts of Han Mo and Xiao Tongguang at sea.
Han Yuan was anxious, Huang Jingdan also knew his intentions, cruising on the sea for three days, Han Yuan almost didn't close his eyes, but found a few small islands on the sea, one island happened to have bandits, seeing the arrival of the Zhenfu army warship, the bluffing island owner led more than 30 people on the island to kneel on the beach, trembling.
A few bandit boats encountered at sea, when they saw the warships under the banner of the Zhenfu Army, they were so frightened that they immediately stood on the bow of the boat, waiting for the inspection of the Zhenfu Army, and the Zhenfu Army searched everywhere, but there was never the whereabouts of Han Mo and Xiao Tongguang, and many of the bandit ships saw the Zhenfu Army ships from a distance, and fled in a hurry, not even daring to touch them.
Han Yuan was furious, dignified as the fifth son of the Han family, these bandits actually attacked, he was really angry in his heart.
Huang Jingshan walked over, sighed, and said gently: "Fourth Young Master, don't worry, the Fifth Young Master Ji Ren has his own natural appearance, and it will be fine, those bandits don't dare to do anything to the Fifth Young Master." ”
"But when I can't see Xiao Wu, I feel uneasy." Han Yuan clenched his fists and said: "These damn bandits, my Han family has good thoughts about them, but they are so ignorant, if Xiao Wu has three longs and two shorts, I will definitely take the pacification army to kill these bandits cleanly." ”
Huang Jingshan secretly thought in his heart that this was all child's words, the Han family's strategy was to raise soldiers with thieves, and without pirates, the pacification army would be drastically reduced, and it was impossible for the Han family to completely exterminate the pirates because of Han Mo.
However, if Han Mo really has something, the East China Sea bandits are only afraid that they will face the strongest blow in history, although they will not be completely wiped out, but if they are wiped out, it is very possible.
"Fourth young master, you haven't slept for two days and two nights, go back to the cabin to rest first, and I'll tell you as soon as there is a situation." Huang Jingshan patted Han Yuan on the shoulder and persuaded gently.
In his heart, he also admired the flesh and blood relationship between the Han brothers, Han Mo and Han Yuan's cousins got along very well, and they had a deep relationship since childhood, which can be regarded as a model of brotherly unity.
As long as the Han family has this cohesion, it will be as stable as Mount Tai.
Han Yuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Uncle Huang, I can't find Xiao Wu, where can I sleep." ”
……
Suddenly, a voice came from the bow of the ship and shouted, "Your Excellency, there is a ship ahead!" ”
He had encountered many ships in a row on the sea, and every time he was very disappointed, so when he heard that there was a ship in front of him, Han Yuan was not very excited, and followed Huang Jingdan to the side of the ship.
Han Yuan looked into the distance, although it was sunny, he couldn't see it very clearly.
At this time, the telescope had not yet appeared, because of the lack of glass, even if the production principle of the telescope was not very difficult, Han Mo did not manufacture it because of the lack of raw materials.
At this time, there was a lookout on the mast of the ship, and a soldier with excellent eyesight was usually arranged on the lookout to observe the sea.
Generally speaking, the selection of lookouts is very strict, and they must have excellent eyesight, and if many ordinary children of the people have excellent eyesight, even if their physical fitness is not hard enough, the Zhenfu army will be exceptionally admitted and enter the ship as lookouts.
Each ship would have four or five such men, two lookouts, who would take turns to be on duty and pay attention to the conditions at sea, and in general, this type of soldier was better treated than ordinary soldiers.
The lookout had already sent a message from above: "Your Excellency, that ship looks like a pirate ship. ”
Huang Jingshan immediately said: "Raise the banner and let them stop for testing!" ”
The lookout immediately raised the flag and ordered the ships in the distance not to move and to be inspected.
Sure enough, when the ships over there saw the Han family waving the flag, they stopped, and the two Zhenfu army warships sailed to the side of the bandit ships, one left and one right.
Han Yuan stood at the bow of the ship, clenched his fists, and when the warship approached, he also saw that there were many people on the ship who were standing on the side of the ship looking over here, and one of them was very familiar, and he became excited, and shouted: "Little Five, Little Five, is it you?" I'm the fourth brother, the fifth brother! ”
Huang Jingshan also saw that there was a person on the boat who looked like Han Mo, and he was overjoyed, but he thought that it was the pirates who controlled Han Mo, and ordered in a deep voice: "It's all ready, take the weapons, there are pirates over there." ”
I only heard a voice from over there: "Fourth brother, Xiao Wu is here, haha, you are really amazing, you have found here." The voice was also full of joy, who was it not Han Mo.
The warship soon sailed to the side of the bandit ship, one left and one right, and Huang Jingshan shouted to the bandit boat: "You wait and listen, no one is allowed to act rashly and accept the inspection of my pacification army." ”
The soldiers had already put on the board of the boat and set it between the two boats, and the soldiers of the pacification army on both sides immediately drew their swords and guns, and rushed to the bandit boat, and surrounded all the people on board.
Du Bingyue's willow eyebrows were upside down, clenching the dagger, and the bandits around her were also a little flustered, but they were all guarding Du Bingyue's side, holding knives and guarding.
Han Mo frowned and said loudly: "Put down your weapons, they are all your own people, don't misunderstand." ”
Han Yuanxun rushed to the bandit boat, holding a sea knife in his hand, glanced at Han Mo excitedly, and then glanced at Du Bingyue and the others with a cold expression, and shouted, "You kidnapped my brother?" ”
The pirates looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
If the truth is to be told, most of the gang was involved in the night's sneak attack.
Han Mo was busy: "Fourth brother, it's all a misunderstanding, they saved me, it's all their own people, don't misunderstand." As he spoke, he had already walked over to Han Yuan.
When Han Yuan heard Han Mo say this, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It turns out that it is my own people, and the brothers should put away their weapons." He stepped forward, hugged Han Mo, and said excitedly: "Stinky boy, the fourth brother thought you had an accident, but I was scared to death." ”
Han Mo listened to his sincere voice, and when he saw him tired, he knew that he had been worried about himself, and he was very moved in his heart, and he also hugged Han Yuan tightly, and said with a smile: "Fourth brother, Xiao Wu is not so easy to die." ”
The soldiers of the Zhenfu Army listened to Han Yuan's orders and put away their knives one after another, and Du Bingyue also ordered the bandits to put away their knives, and the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Han Yuan obviously saw that these people were obviously bandits, but Han Mo said that he was a life-saving benefactor, and he couldn't figure out the reason for it for a while, so he let go of Han Mo, hugged his fist at Du Bingyue and the others, and said loudly: "I am the fourth child of the Han family, thank you for your help." ”
The Han family and the bandits are inextricably linked, so Han Yuan knew that the other party was not an enemy, so he followed the rules of the sea.
The bandits were a little embarrassed, and they all clasped their fists one after another, and said respectfully: "The fourth young master is polite!" ”
Huang Jingshan walked to Han Mo's side and said with a smile: "Fifth Young Master, it's okay, the Governor and the Third Master are also very worried, now that they are safe, that's great." ”
The "three masters" he said naturally referred to Han Xuanchang.
At this moment, I heard a voice hatefully say, "You ...... Arrest these bandits, they kidnapped the officer, this is a gang of traitors! ”
Everyone followed the sound, but Xiao Tongguang had already quietly drilled into the crowd of the pacification army, with a cold face, pointing at Du Bingyue and the others and saying sharply: "They almost killed their own officials, and they all killed them for me." ”
Du Bingyue's bandits were all shocked, they didn't expect Xiao Tongguang to come with such a hand, and they immediately held their weapons in their hands.
Han Mo frowned, and Huang Jingdan had already said in a deep voice: "Lord Xiao, what is the situation?" ”
"They're pirates." Xiao Tongguang said coldly: "I kidnapped this official, if you suppress the army for personal gain and let them go, it will be collusion with the bandits, and after the official returns to Beijing, he must join you." ”
Huang Jingshan first glanced at Han Yuan, looking puzzled, while Han Mo squinted, walked to Xiao Tongguang's side in two steps, and suddenly snatched the big knife in the hand of a soldier of the Suppression Army, but saw that the knife flashed, and the blade was attached to Xiao Tongguang's throat in the blink of an eye, and everyone present was shocked.
