"Humph! Do you need to ask? The faint king is ...... It's ......" Yin Chengliang stammered when he said this.

It turned out that although the current emperor Zheng Rong was not rightly enthroned, since he ascended to the pole and became the emperor, he has worked hard and painstakingly to gradually bring the government of the previous dynasties into normalcy, which is an indisputable fact, and there is no place to put his beak. Ren is Yin Chengliang deliberately slandered, and he is also poor in words, and he can't say half of the word "no".

Yin Chengliang stammered for a long time, and finally remembered a verse and said: "There are traitors in the court, and the emperor can't get rid of them, that is, the faint king." ”

"Oh? Traitor? I don't know if the so-called traitorous minister that Lord Yin said refers to Prime Minister Zhong Likuang or Marshal Dai Luanxiang? Qiu Yizhi asked.

"Both of these are traitors." Yin Chengliang replied, "Zhong Li Kuang, a fallen man, who has not read a few books of sages, actually dares to stand high above the temple, and sits in the position of prime minister. There is also Dai Luanxiang, a family of Jiangmen, who has served the Holy Lord for several generations, and actually abandoned the monarchy Zhengshuo, isn't such a person a traitor? And ......"

Qiu Yi listened to Yin Chengliang's endless words, and turned his head to look at the "Iron Head Jiao" and "Yangtze Alligator" behind him. The two of them understood, secretly moved to the side of the sea ship where Yin Chengliang was, quietly took off their clothes, and plunged headlong into the unusually cold water.

Qiu Yizhi was afraid that Yin Chengliang would be cunning and cunning, and when he found out about the actions of these two people, he deliberately quarreled and said: "Lord Yin said it well, these two are traitors. The junior asked: Lord Yin is now working for the King of Lingnan, isn't he a chaotic minister and thief? ”

Yin Chengliang was stunned by Qiu Yizhi's cross-examination - he didn't expect that the psychological defense line he had built up with great difficulty would be completely defeated by such a simple and single question. In fact, with Yin Chengliang's cleverness and ability, how could he not think of this, but he is now undoubtedly a "chaotic minister and thief", and of course he doesn't want to think about it here.

Just when Yin Chengliang was stunned and didn't know how to answer, Yin Tai behind him stepped forward half a step forward, appeared on the side of the ship, and said hatefully: "Why does my father have to talk to him here? Today we were stolen by this thief again, but fortunately we have not failed yet, we still have two or three hundred sailors on board, if we can take down this thief, we can also explain to the prince of Lingnan. ”

With that, Yin Tai beckoned the sailors on the ship and lined up on the deck, preparing to disembark to capture Qiu Yizhi.

But Yin Tai didn't know the art of marching soldiers after all, although these sailors were also strong and healthy, but they had not undergone special combat training, and they lacked valuable combat experience, how could they be the opponents of this group of battle-hardened soldiers under Qiu Yizhi, not to mention that Qiu Yizhi had already made the first move......

I heard one of the sailors on the ship exclaim: "No...... No...... Oh no! The boat is leaking! ”

His call was particularly loud because he was frightened, and even Qiu Yizhi, who was standing on the dock and raised his head to speak to Yin Chengliang, heard it clearly.

It turned out that Qiu Yizhi had just signaled the "Iron Head Jiao" and the "Yangtze Alligator" to dive into the water and scuttle the sea ship. It's just that the sea water is too cold, that is, the "Iron Head Jiao" and "Yangtze Alligator", who are skilled in water and have some martial arts foundation, are not frozen by the sea water when they enter the water, and they have no strength in their hands, and the hole dug out of the bottom of the boat is not big; In addition, Yin Chengliang and Yin Tai were not small in the first place, so the ship was just slowly leaking and did not sink immediately.

But in this way, after all, it is necessary to send men to the bottom of the ship to repair the holes, otherwise the ship, no matter how big it is, sooner or later it will sink to the bottom of the river along with the crew on board.

Under such circumstances, Yin Tai on the deck hurriedly ordered the sailors who had just run from the cabin to the deck to immediately return to the bottom of the cabin to repair the leaking hole, and finally had no strength to arrest Qiu Yizhi and the others.

At this time, the "iron-headed Jiao" and "Yangtze crocodile" also came out of the water. The two of them were already shivering in the icy water, and they couldn't even speak a whole sentence. Qiu Yizhi saw that they were pitiful, and hurriedly asked the two of them to dry their bodies, and raised torches for them to keep warm.

He raised his eyes again to see that Yin Chengliang's ship was gradually returning to order, and the big ship had stopped sinking, apparently because the sailors on board had plugged the loophole, and it was impossible to drown the father and son in the sea.

Qiu Yizhi knew that he didn't have a sea ship under his command, and he couldn't capture Yin Chengliang and Yin Tai's father and son alive.

However, a dead opponent is always better than a living one. Thinking about this clearly, Qiu Yizhi ordered his crossbowmen and said, "Shoot these two people on the ship for me." ”

Yin Chengliang and Yin Tai could hear and see clearly on the boat, and they also knew the power of this crossbow machine, so they hurriedly retracted their heads and ordered the ship to immediately anchor and leave the harbor for a certain distance, so that the opponent could not send troops to board the ship to attack him.

Qiu Yizhi saw that the opportunity was very fast, and he had an idea, pointed to the fire that had just been raised for the two of them to warm the fire for the "Iron Head Jiao" and "Yangtze Alligator", and said: "Go and find something to start a fire, and burn this ship for me!" ”

The wharf in Mingzhou was full of military supplies, and in addition to grain and grass, there were also a lot of fire oil, torches, pine and other ignition things. In just a moment, Qiu Yizhi's subordinates took one or two fire mediums in their hands, and then listened to the order and threw them all to the boat.

These village warrior regiments are very strict in training on weekdays, and their hands are extraordinary, and they can easily see torches, pine lights and other things thrown onto the boat that is only about ten paces away from them. Suddenly a puff of smoke rose from the ship, and tongues of fire like poisonous serpents scurried on the deck.

"It's done!" Qiu Yizhi couldn't help but be a little excited, looking at the more and more burning firelight, his heart was ecstatic - as long as Yin Chengliang and Yin Tai died, and then eliminated the Japanese in the city, then he would be able to control this Mingzhou City, even if Zheng Yu's sea transportation line was completely cut off.

was happy, but he heard Yu Chi Jiming beside him say: "Uncle, look, there is a small boat next to the big boat!" ”

Qiu Yizhi hurriedly looked, but saw that a small boat about a foot long appeared on the river at some point, and there were only ten people on it, and the two of them were Yin Chengliang and Yin Tai father and son.

Qiu Yizhi doesn't know the rules of sea navigation, and he doesn't know that next to the general big ship, he always has to follow one or two small life-saving boats in case of emergency. But he knew that now was the perfect opportunity to solve the Yin family's father and son, and it was really an opportunity not to be missed, so he hurriedly ordered the crossbowmen beside him: "What are you still stunned about?" Shoot at the boat and shoot everyone on board into a hedgehog! ”

The crossbowmen received the order and immediately fired at the boat.

Seeing the crossbow bolts flying on the pier, he hurriedly turned around and drove the ship behind the burning and sinking ship, so that the opponents on the dock could not see their movements, let alone aim accurately.

When the ship reappeared in Qiuyi's field of vision, the brisk boat had sailed far away with the sea breeze and current, and gradually became a gray-black dot on the horizon.

"Alas!" Qiu Yizhi sat on the ground disappointed and sighed, "Failure, failure!" A Yin family father and son, a Wen Honghui, how can they not be caught or killed? Could it be that these people also have God's help? ”

He was sighing, but Wu Changxi came over to congratulate him: "What is there to worry about Lord Qiu?" With less than a thousand men, he took Mingzhou City and drove away the two bastards of the Yin family. Such a record, put on the last general, it is really unthinkable. Now it's a total victory, it's just a matter of winning more and winning less, so don't lament! ”

Wu Changxi's flattery, intentional or unintentional, made Qiu Yizhi suddenly realize that the ultimate goal of his adventure to attack Mingzhou was not to capture Yin Chengliang and Yin Tai's father and son, but to cut off Zheng Yu's sea transportation line; Now that Mingzhou Port is in its own hands, in fact, the goal has been achieved, and there is indeed not much to regret.

So Qiu Yizhi thought about it again: Although Mingzhou City is almost taken, his own troops are still insufficient, even if he transfers more than 20,000 people from the whole army to his side, it is difficult to defend this big city without walls and by the sea, so he can only retreat from here immediately and join the large army.

However, the goal of cutting off the supply line of Zheng Yu's army was still to be completed, so Qiu Yizhi gritted his teeth and ordered: "These things...... These things, and this dock, are all burned clean for me! ”

Wu Changxi was stunned for a moment and asked, "My lord, are you talking about these food and ordnance?" Wouldn't it be a shame to burn these things? ”

Qiu Yizhi frowned and said: "Of course it's a pity, but if it falls into the hands of Zheng Yu and is used against us, it will be even more pity." Now we have few people and time constraints, so we can't transport them all, and we can only use this method of burning a fire. ”

However, although Wu Changxi's words did not make Qiu Yizhi shake his decision, he also reminded him, and then ordered: "I see that the city is empty now, and there should be some time to use." You start by burning the ships next to the docks, and then take advantage of this time to rummage through the goods on the docks and see if there are any good things that we can use. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the "Iron Head Jiao", who was squatting on the fire, became excited, stood up "suddenly", and said, "My lord, this is a good idea." Searching things, small is the villain's ability to hang up, what good things can escape my eyes when I robbed the house? It's just that after following the adult, this skill is a little rusty, and don't blame me for falling into the same two adults. ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he actually smiled and said, "Okay, I see if you know the goods or not." ”

After that, they called the "Iron Head Jiao" to go to the wharf cargo to dry firewood, tung oil and other flammable materials, ignite the sea ships moored at the wharf, and then go to search for the goods.

Killing people and setting fires was originally the business of the eighteen bandit-born soldiers under Qiu Yizhi's command, and when they heard such an order, they were all elated, and in a short time, dozens of seagoing ships anchored next to the harbor were already set on fire one by one.

The "Iron Head Jiao", who was in charge of copying and inspecting the goods, was a little disappointed, and ran to Qiu Yizhi and said: "My lord, there are no good things here, and tens of thousands of taels of silver are slightly more precious, and there are no gold, pearls and jade. ”

Qiu Yizhi scolded with a smile: "Okay, you 'iron-headed Jiao', should you rob a big landlord?" When the two armies fought, in addition to grain and grass, only silver was the most effective. What do you want those Rausch jewels and jades for? If you are hungry and can't eat, the reward will continue, and the soldiers may not buy it! ”

"Iron Head Jiao" was still a little unconvinced, snorted, and said: "Although my lord's words are reasonable, this Lingnan army is too stingy. Not far away, dozens of jars of black soil were sent over. Could it be that the soil in the south of the Yangtze River can't grow good rice? It's inexplicable! ”
