Chapter 10: Big Fish
Zhuo Huxing gritted his teeth and scolded: "Little rabbit." As he spoke, he stepped forward, and Xue Ba stepped forward to meet him, and the two knives collided together. It makes a souring cracking sound.
This is not as strong as the boy on Zhuo Huxing's chest, the knife is as fierce as wind and thunder, and the two long knives hit each other three times, shaking Zhuo Huxing's wrist painfully.
Seeing this, Xue Ba took advantage of the momentum to slash upward, but unexpectedly, the thick-backed machete suddenly stretched out a silver bright blade, and the knife in Xue Ba's hand was cut into pieces all over the sky!
The boy's eyes were full of bloodthirsty brilliance, he reached out and grabbed the broken blade in the air, ignoring the opponent's machete to the neck, and the blade pierced into Zhuo Huxing's eyes.
Unexpectedly, a Han sword was inserted like lightning, and first the sole of the shoe kicked out Xue Ba, the blade hit the back of the knife, and it was lightly cut and twisted, forcing Zhuo Huxing to break out in a cold sweat in two rounds.
Xue Ba stood up one by one, shook his head, licked the bleeding wound on his knuckles, and looked at the two people in the confrontation excitedly.
Li Yan blocked Xue Ba and looked at Zhuo Huxing's steel knife in his hand with surprise in his eyes.
"Knife energy?"
……
The battle will end.
Distance Zhuo Hu Xing begged for a hammer, cough cough. More than half an hour has passed since the first cannon sound of Zhuo Huxing's quest for benevolence.
The black clouds had dispersed, but the smoke from the fort was high and high. I don't know how to win or lose. Presumably Zhuo Huxing drove away the pirates.
In the restaurant, Zhang Dong and the old man sat together, and the downstairs ran the hall boldly, took a look from afar, and when he came back, he added oil and vinegar to the shopkeeper, saying that the government couldn't stand it. Pirates may be coming into town.
Ordinary people do not regard pirates as flood beasts, especially the Red Flag Gang.
The Five Flags Alliance has a high reputation and deep-rooted roots in the coastal area, and has a very close relationship with the people.
It is no exaggeration to say that along the coast of Liangguang, seven or eight out of ten people have family ancestors, or now, have a close relationship with the Five Banners Alliance.
The five flag gangs of the alliance, more or less, all have rules that are not allowed to harass the common people, among which the red flag gang is the strictest.
It's not that the Red Flag Gang is so righteous and Ling Ran, it's just that there were a few incidents at the beginning, and a few drunken Red Flag Gang sailors got into their brains and raped a fisherman's daughter, and they only found out later. This is another cousin in the gang, and the two gangs used knives and killed more than a dozen people.
This is not an isolated case.
Later, the ten ladies issued a strict order, only allowed to plunder official ships and Western ships, not allowed to loot and harass the coastal people, kill the murderer, and not allow *** women, otherwise cut off the ears and tongues.
So I heard that pirates might come in, and the people in the restaurant were not nervous. If the entrance of the hall hangs over the river, one will say how big the Red Flag Gang's ships are and how fierce the artillery is, and then say that the officers and troops have been defeated and the Red Flag Gang has been destroyed.
At first, Zhang Dong listened carefully. Later, the person who ran the hall said it was too outrageous, and Zhang Dong laughed it off, and he didn't even believe the previous words.
He said that the Red Flag Gang had invited the Fire De Star God from the Heavenly Court, and his whole body was on fire, and as soon as he stomped his feet, there were large balls of flames.
A red-eyed black-armored ghost came down from the boat, invulnerable, and the snow unicorn under his buttocks screamed so loudly that it scared people's souls. It's even more evil than what the storyteller in the teahouse said.
"Master Lin, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time."
Zhang Dong lowered his voice.
"What, are you afraid that the Red Flag Pirate will attack Humen Haikou and kill me?"
"The son of a daughter, you can't sit down. In case the Red Flag Gang does enter the town......"
"He doesn't know me, I'm a sour old man, why did he kill me? But you, my Mr. Zhang, are the staff of the Governor of Liangguang. ”
"Master Lin, at this time, don't be joking."
"I'm not kidding."
There was a glint in the old man's eyes: "I want to see if the coastal defense of our Great Qing Kingdom has really leaked into a sieve." ”
The old man's face was full of confusion when he saw Zhang Dong. Hehe smiled: "The pirates are holding the tiger's mouth, entering Guangdong, and conspiring against each other, this is a big event that breaks the sky, in the past few years, the reputation of the Nanyang pirates has gradually grown, and it is also at sea, I have never heard of the pirates entering the city." Am I a disaster? As soon as they arrived in Guangdong, the pirates broke through the Tiger Gate? ”
Zhang Dong wanted to persuade him again, but the old man interrupted him.
"Having said that, Fuzhi (Zhang Dong table), the court told me to suppress bandits, according to your view today, how should I suppress this bandit?"
Zhang Dong looked at the old man's questioning, first made up his mind, and then replied: "First, the corruption of the Qing Shui Division will be strictly investigated, and the second will be to hold a group drill and recruit young people to form a water division, and the third will be to transfer craftsmen from Zhejiang and Fujian to set up a shipyard and a firearms bureau in Liangguang." Strengthen our officers and soldiers. ”
Zhang Dong looked at the old man silently, and added: "Come here, drive the wolf and devour the tiger, and unite to suppress the bandits,"
The old man pinched the crab's claws and smacked the taste.
"You're right, and you have to do it, but it's freezing three feet, not a day's cold. If you want to suppress bandits, these few points alone will get half the result. Use your brains again, how have officials suppressed bandits throughout the ages. ”
Zhang Dong pondered and meditated for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said:
"On the surface, with great fanfare, Lianyi suppressed bandits, and secretly promised to use high-ranking officials to divide the group of thieves and govern bandits with bandits."
"Zhao'an, it's a good idea, but you're only half right."
The old man spit out the crab legs and said, "The pirates are endless, the sailors are weak, and the imperial court has recruited them, so won't the government become a pirate's nest?" ”
"What does Master Lin mean?"
"Pull a batch, fight a batch, die a batch, and press a batch."
As soon as the old man spoke, he tore off a crab leg.
"No matter how rebellious you are, if you enter the officialdom, you are also a small quail with your eyebrows bowed, you surrender the boat, and scatter your subordinates, that is, a toothless tiger, how much you have eaten the benefits of the court, you have to spit it out."
The old man's tone was quiet:
"In the end, he was forced to rebel and find a reason to kill him, which would not cause trouble to his children and grandchildren, and it was also the government's extrajudicial mercy."
"I'm wavering! The government originally had this ability, and if it had known before, it would have entered the Guangzhou Mansion a long time ago! Shopkeeper, there is no lime! Give me an envoy. ”
There was a lot of noise downstairs, and Xue Ba took the lead in crossing the threshold of Xinghua Building. He shook a big human head up and down in his hand, and his mouth kept yelling.
Zhang Dong's face changed greatly, and then looked at the long street downstairs, and the sturdy man in a red turban rushed over from there, covered in blood. The team was not chaotic, as if it had a purpose, divided into several waves, and went elsewhere.
The old man also stopped talking, he frowned and looked at the demons dancing in the street, and his tone was strange.
"As far as Si, as far as Si."
The Red Flag Gang has really entered the city.
There were no customers in the store for a long time, and the shopkeeper came over with a sad face, and anyone who saw a half-grown child throwing his head and playing with his head would not be too relaxed.
"Little hero, what do you want a stone for?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a hideous bloody face rushed to the bridge of his nose, and he sat on the ground with a fright.
The head is rolling down, not who Zhuo Huxing is.
Xue Ba pointed with his hand: "Pickle, thank you." ”
