Chapter 58: Fouls

Wang Ling and Zheng Jiuwu were quickly brought out again, still hooded, they were not embarrassed, Sha Kun and a few people returned to the assembly point, someone would bring three meals on time, but now their movements are strictly monitored, and even when they go out to the toilet, there are guards with guns. Every hour, people come in and take a roll call, as if it were a state of house arrest.

"Who the hell is the salted fish lady, haven't you seen it?" Li Xin asked.

"No," Wang Ling said with some self-deprecation, "I'd rather not see it, that Sha Kun told us that everyone who saw her face would be killed, this person should be very mysterious." ”

Zheng Jiuwu sat there and said coldly: "Her real name is Bang Wakunya, and she has a title in addition to the salted fish lady, also known as the Black Widow, and the pirates like to call her the Blood Rake Fence. No one had ever seen her true face, and it was said that this woman was born very ugly, with a burly figure and a round waist, so she did not want others to see her true face. ”

"How do you know?" Li Xin began to be more and more curious about this Zheng Jiuwu.

"Her ancestral home is Guangzhou, and her ancestors have produced a famous person, Zheng Shi, formerly known as Shi Xiugu. This woman was originally a *** in Guangzhou in 1801 by the notorious pirate Zheng Yi kidnapped and adopted as his own woman, a few years later Zheng Yi died of illness, Shi Xiugu took over his man's pirate group rampant through the Pearl River estuary to Southeast Asia an entire sea area. At that time, there were a total of six gangs of pirates, Shi Xiugu and another pirate leader, Zhang Baozai, formed an alliance and became the Red Flag Gang, do you know why the Red Flag Gang? ”

Wang Ling immediately thought of it, and he asked, "Is it because of the Five Peaks Banner?" ”

"The five-peak flag is a mountain pattern composed of red, yellow, white, black, and blue, a total of species colors, which is the highest symbol of the power of Wang Zhi Group, and his fleet is based on five colors, and there are five fleets to govern their own territory, and the Red Flag Fleet is one of them. After Wang Zhi's destruction, there were not many people under his banner, but this Zhang Baozai was actually Zheng Yi's adopted son, and he had a mother-son relationship with Shi Xiugu, but Shi Xiugu became a widow at a young age and became a lover with her adopted son.

Their Red Flag Gang is based on many small islands in Hong Kong, has hundreds of large and small ships, and has excellent equipment provided by Vietnam's "Tay Son regime". In the local armed forces, which are far superior to those of the government armed forces and the gentry organizations.

The Red Flag Gang used unscrupulous means to attack large and small merchant and fishing vessels, hijack ships and seize goods, kidnap tickets for ransom, and seriously damage the production and livelihood of coastal residents and their exchanges between China and foreign countries. As far as the ransom of the kidnapping ticket is concerned, not only the ticket of the living, but also the ticket of the dead, and the literature and history record that they "excavated the graves of the gentry and hid the coffin to extort the silver taels", which can be described as doing all kinds of evil.

However, the pirate gangs demarcated the sea area and extorted "insurance premiums" from merchants, fishermen, salt, and rice ships, and their names ranged from "trumpet tax," "port regulations," and "foreign taxes." History books record that "all merchant ships going abroad will be taxed 400 yuan in silver, and if they return to the ship, they will be exempted from robbery." Even the government's official ships transporting salt had to buy tickets to avoid robbery from piracy, which became a major scourge in the locality.

After a long time, Shi Xiugu felt that such a day of fighting and killing was boring, in the end, she was still a traditional Chinese woman, coinciding with the Qing court Zhao'an, this Shi Xiugu really went ashore, but in view of Wang Zhi's fate before, so a large number of her subordinates did not follow, but went south to continue to do the past deeds. It's just that they didn't develop very well after losing their leader, and they began to disappear one after another, until the appearance of this black widow. ”

Zheng Jiuwu continued: "Some people say that the Black Widow is a descendant of Shi Xiugu, because their fates are extremely similar. She was born in Malaysia and followed her father to Singapore to work in the grain business since she was a child, but the granary was occupied by the Japanese army, and then her father and her friends were killed by the Japanese army. She was only 7 years old that year, and after hiding under the manger for three days, Kunya killed a Japanese soldier from behind while he was in the toilet, then grabbed a gun and began to flee.

After wandering for a while, she fled Singapore by joining a pirate group, which is said to have been a remnant of the Red Flag Gang in her previous life, and later, like Shi Xiugu, she grew up to marry a pirate leader.

This person is rumored to be ruthless, scheming, and also inherited his father's business acumen, his gang is also a thief and a businessman, a wide range of bandits, and he has bought thousands of people in various ports, including many government officials, so her information is extremely accurate, every attack must be fruitful, in the post-war period or so, the pirate gang led by him developed into the largest pirate group in Southeast Asia, some small pirate gangs were either taken under its banner, or had to pay tribute to her.

Moreover, she had close ties to the early arms black market in the United States, and her weapons were so advanced that they dwarfed the militaries of small countries. Not long ago, it was said that her husband had died of illness, and now Bang Wakunya is the youngest female pirate leader, a woman who is extremely hostile to the sun because of her childhood.

She saw that the Japanese ships were not spared, there were rich robbers, no money to kill and bomb ships, the Japanese mail ship Nakagawa Maru was done by her, that time she led her subordinates to rob a large number of gold and silver jewelry, one of which was worth 130 million US dollars, and what is even more bizarre is that among the many treasures, she found a Chinese golden Buddha purchased by her father when he was doing business in Singapore, and the lotus throne was engraved with the name of her whole family, this Buddha statue was snatched by the Japanese army in that granary during World War II.

So this black widow suddenly became murderous, more than 50 automatic rifles opened fire in unison, and more than 1,500 Japanese on the whole ship were killed by him! Fortunately, a destroyer from the U.S. Navy in Okinawa passed by, and Bang Wakunya ordered to retreat, and the rest were spared. ”

After saying this, Wang Ling finally no longer doubted Sha Kun's warning to him, this woman is indeed a madman who kills people without blinking, so she thinks that she is in control of a red flag pirate under Wufeng back then, so she will naturally be particularly concerned about the discovery of Wufeng Banner, and it can be explained by Zheng Jiuwu's words.

"Now that she knows the Five Peaks Banner, as a pirate, her interests are the highest in her eyes." Wang Ling said: "Eighty percent is also aimed at that batch of treasures, thanks to your clever actions at that time, otherwise the map will be found, and we will not survive." ”

It turned out that before this Shakun got on the boat, Zheng Jiuwu first hid those few things, where were they hidden? Hidden in the mezzanine of the canvas, as for those few sailing tools, they look very ordinary, probably not easy to attract any attention, so they are stacked in the cockpit, this kind of thing is almost every old ship, just like the navigator in a modern car.

Three days had passed, that is, on the third day, Lao Pi had returned, and he was fine, except for the occasional feeling a little dizzy. Of course, Lao Pi can't be idle, he desperately wants to know everything that happened, in addition to the hug that celebrates the aftermath of the catastrophe, there is also the indescribable brotherhood.

"That foreigner," the old Pizhi complained, "I told him many times to let me go, I can't understand what he says, he is full of birds, but the little nurse is okay, very smart......"

"No wonder, pretending to sleep there, it turns out that I am happy to be accompanied by a beautiful woman......"

The idea of escaping is not impossible, but the possibility is almost "zero", unlike Xuanwu Island, not only is there a large number of people and it is heavily guarded, and every move of a fresh face like them will attract attention. There was a big gap from the original expectation, which made the girls who were already not strong-willed waver, they had a natural fear of the guards with loaded guns, and after a short period of safety, they fell back into anxiety and restlessness.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Gu Haili fled with Ye Chun and Yan Yan, the guard who had been hanging outside the house fell asleep, they took advantage of the night to escape, and by the time Wang Ling found out, everyone had disappeared.

"If they can't leave, I'm worried that something will happen," Li Xin said worriedly: "Such an isolated island, unfamiliar with life, those people look fierce and vicious, Wang Ling, can you think of a way?" ”

"I'm going to look for Sha Kun," as he spoke, Sha Kun had already come, he brought two news, one was that the girls had been found, and they had broken into the defensive area of the back mountain, and the second was that the salted fish lady was very dissatisfied with this escape incident, and needed them to explain an explanation, otherwise the girls were very likely to fall to the ground.

"No way!" Wang Ling said: "I assure you that those girls have no bad intentions, they are just homesick......

"It's useless to tell me," Sha Kun said bare-chested, "There are too many people who want our lives, for safety, we have to be on guard, she is already waiting for you, come with me." ”
