Xiao Lang'er and Liu Jin's father-in-law sat leisurely in the captain's room, sipping tea, and happily praising each other. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Marquis Shen, I don't worry at all about following you, I can turn the crisis into safety every time, one is the strong martial arts of Marquis Shen, and the other is Marquis Shen's strategy, everything is under control! Gonggong Liu complimented, he knew in his heart that this trip should ensure safety, all of which must rely on Xiao Lang'er, his martial arts are low, and he will not be a good marquis, and his fate will be very miserable, offending him, maybe he will be thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
"Where! It's all thanks to the emperor and your old Hongfu! Without your old man's suppression, where can you win battles again and again!" Xiao Lang'er said modestly.
"The most enviable thing is that Marquis Shen has such a glamorous blessing, and there are many beautiful women who are like fairies in his arms, and even exotic beauties are frequently sent to Qiubo, which is really envious of others!" Liu Jin's father-in-law hated himself for not being a sound man.
"Father-in-law, everyone has their own troubles, and every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!" Xiao Lang'er shook his head and sighed.
"Hypocrisy! You are hypocrisy!" Liu Gong said as if jokingly in public.
"Come, drink tea! This is the best Wuyi Mountain rock tea, tribute to the palace, the emperor gave me one or two, very precious!" Xiao Lang'er took a sip of the teacup, the entrance was refreshing and sweet, and the aftertaste was endless, especially the spirit was relaxed and fatigue was eliminated.
"Lord Shen, the emperor even gave you such a famous tea, it is really favored by you, the annual output of this kind of tea is less than one catty, it can be described as the best, I drank it is simply a heavenly thing!" Liu Gonggong took a sip and said with a smashing mouth.
There was a knock on the door. Come on in!
The intelligence officer walked in and reported the military situation to him, the monkeys in the jungle came out, a total of thirteen people, they are Annan's rebels, according to a leader's confession, this night attack was planned by Annan's rebels, this is their navy, they are entrenched on an island off the coast of Jiaozhou, there are more than 2,000 rebels on it, and there are more than 20 ships.
"What to do with the captured rebels, please show me the marquis!" the intelligence officer asked.
"Since you said not to kill, then don't kill them, leave them on the island, I see that there are good timber and stone mines on the island, let them cut trees on the island and collect wood and stones, as a slave of my Haijing Marquis, and work on the island." Later, if there were captives, they were sent here as slaves. Xiao Lang'er said lightly. "Rest for the night, tomorrow the soldiers will be in the nest of the rebels in Jiaozhou!"
"Yes! I'll deliver!" the intelligence officer turned and left.
"Master Hou! I also took my leave. Liu Jin's father-in-law saw Tie Rulan come in and immediately got up.
"Father-in-law, are you afraid of me, you will leave as soon as I come?" said Rulanjiao.
"Don't bother the two of you!" Liu Gonggong hummed a little song and left.
Looking at Rulan, the two looked at each other and smiled, and now the relationship between the two has become very intimate.
"You've had a great job on the mast tonight!" Rulan walked around to the back of his chair, hugged his neck from behind, and slowly moved one hand down. "Watch its head!"
Xiao Lang'er hugged her in her arms and said softly: "Jealous?" "A little, but as long as you like it, I'm happy!
"In the future, you will stay by my side, and the Xiangxi Navy will choose a reliable and capable one to command instead of you, and then choose three people from them to be your personal followers and protect you, how about it?" Xiao Lang'er said.
"What's the matter? Want to quit my military power?" "No, I want to watch you every day, I don't want you to work too hard, how can I be willing to let my woman charge into battle, just let you find an agent and share a little responsibility." ”
Rulan stretched out her slender palm and stroked Xiao Lang'er's neck and cheeks.
"Okay, let's go to bed after a night's trouble!" Xiao Lang'er hugged Rulan and walked to the bedroom in the back.
"In the future, you and Windsor will serve me together!" Rulan beat his chest, "Your heart is really not small, you can fit this ocean." Rulan scolded with a smile.
"I want you to sing to me often in the future, Windsor, and dance to me. ”
"Windsor is so dazzling, will you dislike me?" "You all have your own merits, I like them all, don't worry, I will be responsible for you." ”
The two bit their ears on the bed and said love words, and gradually fell asleep with a smile.
The sun rises, sails forward, there is a war to be fought today, the sailors are very excited after hearing the order, which means that there are rewards to be taken, and they also have to be consumed on the ship, although the food and drink are free, but the wine is only provided with one glass a day, and there is gambling entertainment, which costs money, if there is no money, those enchantresses will not look at you, and gambling on the ship, if you have itchy hands, you can't get into the casino without money.
If you want to have silver, you have to fight, and if you have made war achievements, you will have a lot of silver in your hand.
Therefore, as soon as they heard the battle, they roared, their morale was full, and they danced their swords and roared wildly.
According to the intelligence, the rebels of Annam are on the coastal island on the border between Champa and the Li Dynasty, this island is called Wanli Shitang, there are many islands, and the enemy is entrenched on the largest island, this island belongs to my Ming Dynasty, and the invaders are expelled.
The Daming treasure boat is drumming sails, there are coolies paddling at the bottom, the speed is very fast, riding the wind and waves, you can see some uninhabited islands along the way, and there are some fishing boats, and the fishermen on the boat cheered when they saw the flag of Daming. It seems to be the people of the Ming Dynasty.
In the afternoon, they arrived at their destination, Tori Island, blocked the port, and sent four warships to raid.
The enemy chieftain met the battle in a panic, and before the ship went to sea, it was suppressed by the powerful artillery of the Ming treasure ship, and the canopy was extinguished, entering a sea of fire, and the fire rode the wind, igniting a sky-high fire, and the ship next to it was also burned, and the enemy fell into the water one after another.
Fifty water spirits had swam over, blades in their mouths, chasing the enemy who had fallen into the water.
The rebel ships were burned to the ground, leaving only the two enemy ships that had been brought under control.
Xiao Lang'er waved the flag, and Shi Lang led his subordinates to rush to the island, preparing to annihilate the rebels.
The navy rushed to the island like a hungry tiger pounced on the sheep, seized the fortress and the commanding heights, the Xiangxi navy rushed to the enemy group under the leadership of the deputy captain, fierce to the point, the hand rose and fell, one by one the rebels fell in a pool of blood, the Jiaozhou rebels behind quickly retreated, entered the fortress on the island, wanted to rely on the boulder fortress to resist, shot arrows in the city tower, and some firearms, and some casualties in the front.
Shi Lang ordered two general cannons to be raised, loaded with shells, and ignited! Two cannon shots rang out, the gate exploded, and the enemy troops on the battlements were shaken away.
"Rush!" Then at this moment, the Xiangxi Navy rushed into the gate. Brave as a tiger, he slashed and slashed, and the enemy army was terrified. The firearms team in the back also rushed in and began to shoot round after round.
In less than an hour, the enemy suffered heavy casualties, except for some who surrendered. Dropped one or two thousand corpses, and won the battle!
Counting their own casualties, there were only about two dozen dead and wounded. This is the contrast of strength, the advanced weapons.
The fortress on the island contained a large amount of supplies, food, cloth and ceramics and other looted property, and more importantly, more than 100,000 taels of silver were seized. The sailors smiled happily and happily carried the supplies onto the Daming treasure ship.
"Bring the traitor leader up!" Xiao Lang'er sat on a chair in the square and gestured with his hand.
A stout copper-faced middle-aged man was pushed and shoved in front of him, "Ask, what did he say?" Xiao Lang'er waved to the interpreter.
"I'm just the leader of the navy, and I don't know much about the high-level situation of the Jiaozhou Division, but I just heard that our Touhu General wants to betray the Ming Dynasty and overthrow the Chen dynasty in Annam and establish himself as king. The copper-faced man said.
"Ben Hou gives you a way out, there are more than 200 of your subordinates left, I want to choose 20 people from them, these 20 people can live, and they will follow me in the future. Look at it!" Xiao Lang'er wants to make up for the lost soldiers, and every time he fights, there must be casualties.
I saw that the copper-faced leader said a lot, and those rebels who thought they would be hacked to death had a desire to survive.
In the encirclement of the Ming naval army, they began to kill each other, blood splashed, and a body fell, making a painful sound, although it was the same kind, but in order to survive, he picked up a knife and made up for the wounded who fell to the ground and could not move. From 200 to 100, then to 50, and finally only 20 men were left covered in blood.
Xiao Lang'er warned them, "You must be loyal to yourself and obey orders, otherwise there is only a dead end, and if you make meritorious service, you will still be treated equally!" Now he can only be scattered in various departments as a low-ranking sailor, and he will still be promoted if he has military merits in the future.
The next step is to clean up the battlefield, Xiao Lang'er took Rulan and three selected guards to inspect the environment of Bird Island, and on the boulder on the island, ordered the craftsman to play the sign of Hai Jinghou, this island will belong to Hai Jinghou, and write in several words how to occupy this island, and those who settle here must pay tribute to Butterfly Island.
In a cave, more than eighty panicked original inhabitants were also found, brought them out, and ordered the copper-faced leader to tell them that they were safe now and would continue to live on the island in the future, but the ownership of this island belonged to this Marquis Shen, and he had to be loyal to him in the future and pay tribute every year.
These original inhabitants nodded one by one, with frightened eyes, fortunately they were able to survive, and they would be Shen Houye's islanders in the future, so that they could be protected by the powerful Shen Houye.
Calling their patriarch and telling them that they would fish, mine, plow, cut wood, and build houses on the island in the future, the patriarch nodded his head and agreed.
This island is relatively close to the surrounding mainland, and it is a good base to bring more inhabitants from the mainland to build a commercial center when the time comes, and there is no time to take care of it now.
Rest here for one night, help these original residents build wooden houses, look at these unclothed men and women, old and weak, life is too difficult, and help them slowly in the future. Leave some of the food and tools in the island bank to them and let them cope with temporary difficulties.
Xiao Lang'er is thinking about whether to intervene in the politics of Jiaozhou on the land, thinking about it repeatedly, or focusing on the task, these things can be taken care of in the future, and everything can be managed, how can there be so much time.
