Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Pirate's Idea
Su Ming learned the news he had detected from Li Lin's mouth, and his eyes couldn't help but be solemn.
The pirates regard the villages outside their Second Castle as their large rear base, so they will have a lot of damage to the village, and it is impossible to keep the Second Castle in their hands all the time.
The pirates will inevitably take the second Castle, but it is not known what they will do.
Su Ming looked at the two pirate corpses and suddenly thought of a new way to check the situation of the pirates.
"Li Lin, you change into pirate clothes, I'll send you into the village later, pirates shouldn't be very strict when you enter the village, you open the intercom and speak as soon as you are in danger, and I will teleport you back." Su Ming thought of Li Lin's specialness, and now it was best to use it.
"Okay... It's just that if you don't wear pirate clothes, they can smell a stench from afar! Li Lin pinched his nose and said.
"Hurry up, a good warrior cares about that? I turned on the flashlight just now, there may be pirates in this East Village who have discovered it, we must hurry! Su Ming said.
Li Lin forcibly took off the clothes of the tallest pirate, took off his camouflage uniform and put it on, when Li Lin took off the pirate's coarse cloth shoes, Su Ming couldn't help but almost sick to his stomach.
"Captain!" Li Lin pulled his face bitterly.
"Don't talk nonsense." Su Ming walked a little farther and reprimanded.
The situation in the East Village has been understood, Su Ming came to the location of the watchtower that has not yet been built, and the next thing is to look at Li Lin.
Li Lin used to be a scout, and he was able to become the equipment administrator of the 34411 coast guard ship, his personal abilities are very prominent, Su Ming blew the sea breeze here alone for two hours, and he didn't hear the sound of the walkie-talkie, if it wasn't for seeing Li Lin's state value normal, Su Ming couldn't wait.
On the sheltered side of the watchtower, Su Ming waited quietly, seeing that he had entered Yinshi, and it was not far from dawn, Su Ming finally heard a voice coming from the walkie-talkie.
"Captain!" Li Lin's voice rang out.
"What's wrong? Which village did you get to? Su Ming asked.
"We've arrived at the last Blackstone Village, and it's a bit of a problem to pass by." Li Lin said.
"What's the problem?" Su Ming asked.
"Blackstone Village has the fewest wounded pirates of the ten villages, they can fight more than 200 pirates here, and they have captured more than 400 civilians from all sides." Li Lindao.
"Civilians? Don't they don't have enough food to eat for themselves? How can you still capture civilians ... Are they going to use civilians to consume our bullets? Su Ming thought of this.
"I think so too, do you want me to arrest the pirate leader of Blackstone Village, and you will interrogate the captain himself?" Li Lin asked.
"It's not so easy to catch the other party's leader, I can teleport you out of Blackstone Village, but I can't teleport anyone else.
You have completed the exploration of the ten villages outside the fort, and it has been overdone tonight, so let's retreat back to the fort first! Su Ming said.
Taking Li Lin back to the template of the coast guard ship, Su Ming summoned it again, and Li Lin's own clothes were already put back on. The two of them followed the secret passage back to the Second Castle, summed up the results of the evening, and found that the number of pirates outside the fort did not exceed 1,000.
"The number of pirates who were not injured was only about 600, and the number of pirates in Xicun and Huiyan villages, the smallest number, was less than 50, but they had more than 100 injuries to take care of.
Each of the ten villages outside the fort does not belong to a pirate group, and they do not directly belong to Xu Dong's subordinates, they are only a small pirate group in the East China Sea, and the pirate elites have almost all gone to Jinshanwei Town this time.
In this way, the possibility of pirates outside the fort taking our second castle is very small, unless they gather civilians to use as meat shields to consume our bullets and arrows, and we must be especially careful with the people captured by the pirates in Blackstone Village. ”
Back at home, Su Ming and Li Lin completely exchanged the results of the night's investigation and told his eldest brother his thoughts.
"Eighth brother, you and Li Lin have worked hard, you can rest at home today!
The main force of the pirates all went to Jinshanwei Town, and the village of Heishi was in the northwesternmost direction of Erweibao, the farthest from Erweibao, and the people who were captured by the pirates fled from the northwest to Weishou.
Is it possible for us to organize troops to raid Blackstone Village and rescue these people, so that the pirates will not have a human shield, and there is no way for us to do anything. Su Ren looked at his younger brother and asked.
After last night's incident, Su Ren paid more and more attention to his brother's opinion. Knowing the contradictions in the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty, he already felt a little pediatric when he looked at his previous worries, who the court uses to consider loyalty is only one aspect, the most important thing is your ability and relationship.
Therefore, Su Ren felt more and more that his root was Erweibao, as long as Erweibao became stronger and stronger, even if he had an unpleasant quarrel with Jinshanwei Town, even if he commanded the adult, it would be impossible for him to offend him easily, let alone a small Yao Qianhu.
"The people of Blackstone Village are saved, but not now.
Our second Fort was on the way to the pirate retreat, and they did not rush to solve us, but were confident that they would take Jinshanwei Town.
If we rescue the people of Blackstone Village now, and the pirates see that it is no longer possible to capture Erwei Fort, will they be afraid that the back road will be blocked, and they will send elites from Jinshanwei to come back and clean us up first?
Besides, we only have more than 200 soldiers who can fight in Erweibao now, how many people will we send to take Blackstone Village, and what should we do if the other villages see us sending troops to leave and take the opportunity to attack us? Su Ming asked.
"It seems that we can only pin our hopes on Jinshanwei Town, if the pirates let ordinary people attack Erweibao Town, we can't be soft on anything, and if we hold on for one more day, we will have more hope.
Li Lin is strong in martial arts and good at reconnaissance, I think the news of Jinshanwei Town is very important to us now, Eighth Brother, can you let him lead the team and take a few soldiers from Erweibao to the vicinity of Jinshanwei, in case Jinshanwei is broken, we can also plan for the worst. Su Ren said.
The worst plan is naturally to escape from the dark passage, Su Ren has to ask about the arrangement of the ships on the side of the dark passage every day, Erwei Fort has been nine deaths from the beginning, and to be honest, no one has the confidence to defend it.
"Well, let's wait two more days! No matter what Jin Shanwei says, it is no problem to stick to it for a day or two. In the past few days, the fort has been training more on how to cooperate with the defense of the city, and we should be able to gain a lot of experience from this battle.
The escort team can also expand the number of members when they take the opportunity, but the standard of recruiting team members must not be lowered, so that everyone can train as much as possible.
There are many people in Erweibao, who have not been here for a long time, and there is nothing in the past few years to defend the city, and there will be more rights and wrongs for them to do in a few days, and the eldest brother can let them build the houses in the city as much as possible, so that the houses do not have to be so crowded. Su Ming said.
"Okay, now that we know that the pirates won't attack again anytime soon, we can't just stay at the fortress walls and just wait.
I won't disturb your rest, so go to bed quickly! I'll tell you about the situation outside the fort with your fifth brother, Master Caoqi, and Master Ma. Su Ren said and left.
Su Ming was also very happy when he saw that the eldest brother actually talked about Master Ma. A family has scribes to take refuge in, and they are also capable people, which shows that the family is bound to prosper, which is the unchanging law of China for thousands of years.
Su Ming woke up in the afternoon, he felt exhausted, and checked that Li Lin's status value in the coast guard ship template had returned to 100%.
After breakfast, I planned to go to the castle wall to have a look, but I heard that the eldest brother and Master Ma arranged for the people to work behind the fort, and many people went to build the Erweibao warehouse.
There are a lot of newly fired green bricks in the second Weibao, which are used to build the fort wall, and one side is to build a house in the fort. Not to mention cement, thousands of stones have been accumulated so far, and a lot of them have been stored in warehouses, many of which have been stored for more than two months, and the effect can already be achieved.
When he came to the new warehouse, Su Ming saw the dense crowd, and after looking for a while, he didn't find the eldest brother and Ma Xingwang, and suddenly he thought of something.
Today is the 30th of the end of the month, and they have agreed with Fengchidu Zeng Guosun to trade in Youzhongbi Bay this afternoon, and they don't know if the other party will go.
Su Ming didn't have much difficulty in trading, as long as he moved the snowflake salt to the beach through the secret passage, he could send the snowflake salt to Bishui Bay.
Seeing that there was still time to go, Su Ming thought of it and did it. He took 26 people from the 9th and 10th teams of guards who were originally in the salt fort, and sent the 15 stone snowflake salt of this transaction to the sea through the secret passage, and then asked the old soldiers at the secret passage to drive a small boat, and after everyone carried the salt onto the boat, Su Ming and Li Lin boarded the boat.
"You all go back, you must be careful of pirates at the exit of the secret passage, tell my eldest brother that we can come back early tomorrow morning at the latest, let him not worry." Su Ming said to the escort team.
Su Ming and Li Lin rowed a small boat along the coast to the north, 4 miles away were hundreds of pirate ships, Su Ming walked hundreds of meters and saw that everyone had left at the exit of the secret passage, so he and Li Lin docked the boat.
Put all the snowflake salt in the cabin into the warehouse of the coast guard ship, and then put the boat into the warehouse together, Su Ming and Li Lin each took a pistol and landed on the shore, and then entered the woods next to it.
Su Ming knew the terrain here very well, and from the number of footprints on each path, he could know that there were not many pirates here.
Without alarming anyone, Su Ming crossed the Salt Fort area, and then crossed the pirate ship area, and after entering the northern bamboo forest, he was already safe.
Coming to Bihai Bay, Su Ming saw that there were no ships here, although the pirates were strong now, but they would not easily stay in a natural port like Bishui Bay, the Daming sailors directly took all their ships, and they had to be trapped all on the shore?
Therefore, pirates will always find those hidden places with relatively less wind and waves, even if they can't dock and park their boats.
The maritime merchants have now broken the balance, and when the family sees the appearance of the maritime merchants, they will inevitably lean towards the emperor, and the maritime merchants will inevitably suffer a big loss at that time, and the emperor will definitely cut some officials, so as to increase his influence on the southern coast.
This contest can only hurt the people of the Ming Dynasty, at the moment when the family leaned towards the emperor, in fact, the maritime merchants have lost, Wang Zhi has moved the base camp to the Wa Kingdom, what he is doing now is just for the last breath, so it is best to wake up the Ming Dynasty. But Su Ming knew that it was impossible for the Ming Dynasty to be awakened.
