Li Xiu became the largest crocodile on the surface of the Yellow Sea, in half a month. He and Liu Laoliu drove a five-masted ship constantly cruising in the Yellow Sea, under the poisonous eyes of Chen Laohu. None of Chen Hailong's ships were spared, relying on the strong speed of the five-masted ship. As long as they are discovered, no one runs.

This time, Li Xiu did a better job, and there was no such thing as shouting and capturing at all. There was one thing when I saw the Chen family's ship, and that was the cannonball greeting.

"Damn, it must be Li Xiao's ghost." Chen Hailong finally felt that something was wrong. His men did not return to port for many days, knowing that he had dozens of elite warships under his command. Even if you go out to rob, you will basically return to Hong Kong in about ten days.

First, it is to unload the looted things, and secondly, after going to sea for such a long time, the pirates also relax. Now, for twenty days in a row, not a single ship has returned to port, which has never happened before.

Today's Bohai and Yellow Seas are no longer dominated by the Chen family. After owning the five-masted ship, Li Xiao's naval strength reversed dramatically. A five-masted ship, plus Li Xiao's bronze long-barreled cannon. It is a crushing existence for any maritime power in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea.

The only one that can deal such a fatal blow to the Chen family's pirate ship is Li Xiao's five-masted ship.

"Master Hou, what should I do now. Our ship didn't have any faith at all, could it be that something really happened at sea? How dare he do this? Those who fled to Liaodong, didn't we stop them all? "The one who asked was Haili Shi Daxuan, except for Chen Fu, he was the person Chen Hailong relied on the most.

"It must be that what we did in Shandong was known to him, and there is no impermeable wall in this world. But I didn't expect to know so quickly, those useless things, even the road can't be blocked.

Originally, when Li Xiao and Tartar were fighting, we would secretly his mother. His grandmother's, God doesn't help! ”

"Master Hou! It's not that your subordinates say bad things about you, the person surnamed Qian is not a good person at first glance. He is using us as a gunman, and now Li Xiaohong is purple. I heard that a lot of business in the capital is done with Banzai. We are now in conflict with Li Xiao, and no one will help us speak. ”

"Humph! At least they gave us 30,000 taels of silver......! ”

"It was promised to give us 30,000 taels of silver, and we were able to get a boatload, but it was more than 8,000 taels of silver. For more than 8,000 taels of silver, let's turn against Li Xiao. The ships lost now are probably worth 20,000 taels of silver. ”

"You know what? 30,000 taels of silver is a small amount, and the trade route in Jiangnan is a large amount. All along, our things have been sold to Jiangnan by others. The brothers worked so hard to grab something, but most of it fell into someone else's pocket.

With the trade route to Jiangnan, we can sell things directly to those rich people in Jiangnan. After being rewarded, it will be 100,000 taels, hundreds of thousands of taels. ”

"Then what can Li Xiao do if he hits Shandong, we are now in Penglai Port, and there are only seven ships. Three of them are still under repair, and Li Xiao's five-masted ship is about to sail over. can flatten Penglai Port. ”

"Li Xiao came to Shandong? How is that possible, he is the chief soldier of Liaodong. This is Shandong! Leaving his post without permission and leading troops across the border without permission. When the time comes, Lao Tzu will participate in him, and Mr. Qian will also invite people in the court to speak. He Li Xiao can't eat and walks around! Mr. Qian told me the bottom that Cui Bing of the Ministry of War would support us.

Do you think I'm going to do it rashly without a little reliance? ”

"Uh......!" Shi Daxuan didn't speak, he knew too well why Chen Hailong did this.

In addition to Chen Fu's affairs, those guys who have gone out to fight with Li Xiao over the years have all been very rich. The silver was sent home every month, and the military dependents who were originally poor haha have now become rich people.

I'm used to it! When you have money, you buy land and build a big house. What used to be the poorest family in the village is now a landlord. He who makes slaves call maidservants is hot to the eyes of men.

Chen Hailong belongs to the most popular wave of people, you must know that there are more than 10,000 people in Shandong who follow Li Xiao. The amount of silver sent every month is almost 10,000 taels. Such a large sum of money, but he can't eat it in his eyes, no matter what, Chen Hailong can't swallow this breath.

As for Chen Fu's matter, it is false to say that he is not angry. But if Chen Hailong wants to turn his face with Li Xiao for this matter, it is absolutely impossible. After all, Li Xiao did not forget this admiral even when he was rich. The business of the two has always done well.

And because of Chen Fu's matter, Li Xiao felt very guilty about Chen Hailong. In business, it also gave the Chen family a lot of discounts. It can be said that the Chen family and Li Xiao's business is a sure-fire business. It doesn't have to be beaten in the wind and rain, and it is more comfortable than robbery.

But Chen Hailong is a descendant of pirates, and the gene of robbery has been engraved in the depths of his soul. No matter how easy it is to get money, Chen Hailong always firmly believes. Robbery is the ultimate means for him to realize the value of life, and he likes this way of obtaining wealth from the bottom of his bones.

So Chen Hailong instructed his subordinates to start devouring the property of those military families. After countless accomplices took away the small head, Chen Hailong swallowed the big head very proudly.

Now revenge is coming, but Chen Hailong is sure. Limited to the system of the imperial court, it is impossible for Li Xiao to really come to Shandong. Even if you kid can fight again, as long as you bring troops to Shandong, it will be considered a rebellion.

"Master Hou! Oh no, no! A hundred households suddenly broke in in a hurry.

"Humph! What is the panic like, what is going on? Chen Hailong snorted dissatisfiedly.

"Master Hou! The Japanese invaded on a large scale and had landed on Liugong Island. Our forces were defeated and have now retreated to the shore. ”

"What? The Japanese are coming? How many of them are there? Shi Daxuan hurriedly asked.

They have all seen the scene of the wreaking havoc of the Japanese invaders. When I think about it now, I still have lingering palpitations. Unexpectedly, at this time, the Japanese invaded on a large scale again.

"According to the 100 households who have fled, there are many Japanese pirates, and I am afraid that there are thousands of them."

"Thousands? Where the hell did you get such a big share of pirates? ”

"Those Japanese are armed with a lot of arquebuses, and they don't look like pirates, but like Japanese soldiers."

"Grandma's, raise the account!" Chen Hailong's heart tightened.

At this time, Japanese soldiers suddenly came, and they also occupied Liugong Island. This is a big deal, you must know that Liugong Island is an important place for coastal defense. The pier above is a deep-water port where large ships can be moored.

Once the Japanese soldiers occupy this place, it will be considered a reliable base. You can wantonly station troops on Liugong Island, and then attack the coast of Shandong. The coast of Shandong is so vast that even if there are 100,000 troops, it may not be able to defend against it. He is the governor of Shandong, if this happens, the court will not be able to eat and walk around after being held accountable.

If in the past, thousands of wouldn't have been in Chen Hailong's eyes. After all, the Chen family crisscrossed the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, and they also had some family backgrounds.

But now is different from the past, after Chen Hailong's warship went to sea, there was no news like a mud cow entering the sea. There are only a few ships in Penglai Port, and at this time, not to mention thousands of Japanese soldiers, even a thousand Japanese soldiers can't beat them.

"Knock, knock, knock!" The general drum sounded.

The famous officers who were spending all day drinking in Jinan City gathered to the Admiral's Mansion from all directions one by one. Rao was so, but there were still more than a dozen officers who did not show up. It's either that you can't find anyone, or you're drunk and unconscious.

Looking at the crooked armor, it looks like a subordinate who has just escaped from the battlefield. Chen Hailong didn't fight out as soon as he was angry, this is a bandit den or a Ming officer. Can such an army still fight?

"Dog's day, if the three-way drum doesn't arrive, cut it!" Chen Hailong has not been going well these days, and now he wants to kill people, and only by killing can he calm the sulkness in his chest.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! The third drum also sounded, and there were still a dozen people who did not arrive. Chen Hailong's chief guard took the arrow and took the guards out to arrest people.

There was silence in the Admiral's Hall, and everyone did not squint. I'm afraid that this unhappy Admiral will make trouble for himself.

"Humph! These times are too indulgent for you, and now it's time for a war. Lao Tzu must be strict with military discipline, no matter who kills anyone's head, he is not allowed to intercede. ”

Hearing that there was going to be a war, a room full of high-ranking officers all looked at Chen Hailong. The place where the war was fought was Liaodong, and Shandong had been peaceful for many years, since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. Only the rebellious King Yan fought in Shandong. How do you say that suddenly there is going to be a war? Could it be ......!

Want to transfer the big guy to Liaodong?

Don't dare to go to that place in Liaodong, whoever goes will die. Juniper Liu Ting can't bear it, let alone these soldiers in Shandong who have not fought for many years.

"I just got the report that thousands of Japanese soldiers have occupied Liugong Island. Where exactly to attack next, there is no letter yet. Tell me what to do? Chen Hailong's eyes scanned these high-ranking Shandong officers like a chainsaw.

No one spoke, and there was still silence in the lobby, not even a single person coughing.

The news was too shocking, since the defeat of the Wa Kingdom in Korea during the Wanli period. That small country has been dissipated for many years, why is it coming again this time. And thousands of people came at one time and occupied Liugong Island as a stronghold.

Many officers had been to Korea during the Wanli period, and they knew how difficult it was for those Japanese soldiers. Chen Hailong asked, no one was willing to make a rafter for the head.

"Dumb? When he fucks having fun in a brothel, not all of them are quite energetic. Now they're all fucking mute? Seeing that his subordinates were all dumb, Chen Hailong shook his hand and slapped the arrow box away.

"Whoa!" The arrow box fell to the ground, and the arrows were spilled on the ground. This time, no one dared to speak.

"Bastard!" Chen Hailong wanted to pump people, and pumped the following guys one by one.

"Master Hou! In my opinion, this matter should be reported to the Ministry of War first, no matter what. At the same time, they strictly defended Weihai and other places to prevent further actions of the Japanese soldiers. Shi Daxuan stood up, and Chen Hailong was already on the verge of going berserk.

"Someone said something human." Chen Hailong held back his breath and sat back in his seat.

"What Master Shi said makes sense."

"The subordinates agree with Lord Shi's words."

"My subordinates agree!"

"Subordinates ......!"

Hearing Chen Hailong speak, there was a voice of approval below. Once again, Chen Hailong was so angry that he choked!

"Okay, then draft a copy and hand it to the military department ......!" Before Chen Hailong's words were finished, a lieutenant hurriedly ran in.

"Report! Qi Yu Hou Ye, yesterday night the Japanese soldiers attacked Weihaiwei at night. Most of the subordinates of Chen Baihu were killed in battle, and the number of Japanese robbers was thousands. There are a lot of firearms, and the shooting is extremely accurate. The rest is to be investigated! ”

"What?" Chen Hailong stood up in shock.

The speed of the Japanese soldiers was so fast, they actually occupied Liugong Island yesterday afternoon, and Weihaiwei at night. Where is it now? Dengzhou? Laizhou?

The development of events was greatly unexpected by Chen Hailong.

"Master Hou! It should be reported to the Ministry of War immediately, and it will be difficult to deal with the situation with our troops. Or to invite the military department to coordinate reinforcements to come to Shandong to jointly resist the Japanese soldiers. Shi Daxuan spoke again.

"That's right! Right! Right! Five hundred miles at once, no! Eight hundred miles to rush and report to the military department. "Chen Hailong is a little flustered now, these soldiers seem to have fallen from the sky. They moved too fast, and it was far beyond Chen Hailong's expectations.

Shandong has not fought a war for many years, and the health center is basically in ruins. Weihaiwei's guard is not bad, because the one who guards Weihaiwei is a nephew of the Chen family. Weihaiwei is also an important supply base for the Chen family pirate gang.

I didn't expect more than 100 people to defend and be easily taken down.

"No!" Shi Daxuan responded to a promise and went to arrange it in person.

"All ministries have stepped up their preparations, and this time I'm afraid it's going to be a big fight." Chen Hailong sighed. Most of the income from the hard work and robbery over the years is in Shandong. Now even if you want to withdraw, you can't withdraw, the only thing to be thankful for is that this Jinan city is high and deep, and it is impossible to attack it easily if you want to come.

"No!" As if they had been granted amnesty, these high-ranking officers turned around and left. It is estimated that no one will go to the barracks, and they will rush home as soon as possible. Inform the family members who are outside to return to Jinan to avoid trouble!

Looking at these people under him, Chen Hailong felt hopeless. Shandong Taiping has been too long, and it is obviously unreliable to expect these subordinates to fight. But who can you count on if you don't count on them?

Fucking dogs, the widows of the day, come early or late, come at this time.

When the messenger arrived in the capital, Cui Chengxiu had just had lunch and was taking a lunch break. The messenger had been running all night and all morning, and was almost paralyzed from exhaustion.

"You're saying that all of a sudden, thousands of pirates are attacking Shandong?" Cui Chengxiu felt that his scalp was numb, this Jurchen Tartar had not been cleaned up yet, why did the Japanese invaders come to make trouble again.

"Lord Qiyu Shangshu! The Japanese had already occupied Liugong Island and Weihaiwei, and the Japanese invaded suddenly, and the defenders of the two places were unable to prevent heavy casualties. Admiral Chen asked for reinforcements to be sent to support. ”

"Wolver! Wakako! What the hell are so many pirates! "Cui Chengxiu walked around with his hands behind his back like a donkey, just last year's big disarmament, at this time, where do you ask Lao Tzu to find reinforcements.
