As soon as Chongwen walked out of the cabin, these guys shouted: "Big treasurer, our brother died too unjustly, you have to call the shots for us." ”

Chongwen shouted: "What are you arguing about, you are all drowning ghosts, do you think your life is long." Won't you go to command the burial of my brothers, mend the boats, drain the stagnant water, what are you doing here, and eat white food?"

Wang Qingxi came up and shouted: "We have settled the matter of the fleet, but the person surnamed Wang killed and injured more than 40 of my brothers, and did not give an explanation, how can I explain to their father and brother?"

Xie He shouted: "That bastard went on a rampage in our fleet, I let him crash 2 of my 3 boats, more than 20 people fell into the water, and their whereabouts are still unknown, let their family lose money, 10,000 taels per person!"

Chongwen shouted: "Bastard, all go to the mother to change into clean clothes, this is the third mother-in-law's mother, do you want to rebel!"

Lin Feng shouted, "The brothers are clamoring, what can we do." ”

Chongwen shouted: "Come to Cainiu! Drive them to the bottom cabin to change clothes, and then go to the compass cabin to answer." ”

Lai Cainiu replied loudly: "Oh!"

As soon as the giant waved his hand, more than 10 Chongwen guards pressed the handle of the knife and surrounded them, pushing and pushing these pirate leaders to the bottom bilge.

Chongwen strode into the compass cabin, the chief soldier Shun and Haili Qinglin Yanghao followed into the cabin, and Liu Guan stood on the corridor of the stern building, staring at the deck with big eyes, in case Zhu Qidong was desperate to make trouble.

Birch Mountain Yoshimasa brought a bowl of seafood porridge and a large piece of pickled venison, which was Chongwen's court food, which was also the privilege of the big shopkeeper of the bureau, and the sailors only had cured meat and water.

He asked while eating: "Yizheng, where did you get Wang Wei, don't let those Qidong kill you." ”

Biryama Yoshimasa said: "I was carried to the baggage boat behind me last night, someone took care of it, and I couldn't die." ”

Chongwen was also worried that injuring Wang Wei would make the Qidong rabbits die and make trouble with him collectively. Who thought that Wang Wei had gone too far and aroused public anger, so it would be easy to do, and the general soldier was right, he really thought too much.

Chongwen gobbled up and asked, "Why aren't any of the sentry commanders gone?"

Kayama Yoshimasa said: "Yesterday, Wang Wei beat us indiscriminately, injuring no less than 200 of us, and there were more or less dead and wounded at each outpost. The crowd was indignant, and the second went to sea to worry about the instability of the army, so he asked the sentinels to sit in the army in case of accidents. ”

Chongwen nodded, the second going to sea was properly handled, and now it was time to think about how to appease this group of people and encourage them to continue north. He raised his head and asked Haili Qinglin Yanghao: "You are the military advisor of the mother, tell me about the battle last night, how much we lost and how many thieves we killed?"

Hai Liqing stood up and said, "Last night, there was a strong wind and rain, and the Apo Navy got lost and strayed into the anchorage of our boat division. First of all, we encountered the guard ships on the periphery of our boat division, and the five horseshoe crab legs under the command of the cannon were almost unarmed, and the only fire bricks could not exert their power in the night rain, so they had to retreat while shouting to inform the ship formation of the enemy attack.

Danzaemon immediately stepped forward, blocked the Australian entrance, and fell into a melee with the enemy. The filthy multitude was fully armoured and very heroic in close combat, and the enemy ships had no chance to take advantage of it. However, Liu Huaide's whistle Wang Wei suddenly pulled out the anchor and rose up, rushed indiscriminately in the ship's formation, fired guns indiscriminately, and injured many of his own people. There was a great chaos at the Danzuo guard outpost, unable to withstand the clash of enemy ships, and some enemy ships rushed into Australia and China.

At this time, the order of the navy had been issued, and Liu Huaide led the sentry to Wang Wei to take the boat, which stopped him and anchored the anchor. At this time, the Anointing Bird ship began to fire cannons, and the ship formation also saw the enemy situation clearly, and the cannons rained down, destroying the enemy ships that broke into Australia, counting more than 20 large and small ships, and more than 700 soldiers.

The enemy ship was frightened, and the white whistle flying on the board was ordered to pull the anchor to support Aokou, and the enemy ship retreated.

The white-collar sentry lit the lamp in pursuit, went deep into the open sea in the wind and rain, and sank more than 20 enemy ships. In addition, more than 10 enemy ships panicked and strayed into the waters of Otsushima in the dark, and no one was killed. The remaining about 7 or 8 boats fled into Muqi Village, and the white-collar sentinels did not know the sea conditions in the Urinai and did not dare to go deeper, and now the area around Shamihama is monitoring the remnants of the enemy.

In this battle, there were about 70 large and small enemy ships, 2,000 Awa naval troops, and the entire army was basically wiped out, and the remnants were still alive in Mu Qi.

The largest casualties of our army were the bullet left guard sentry, two horse boats sank, and more than 200 soldiers were killed and wounded, of which more than 40 were wounded by Wang Gong's cannon. More than 170 people were also swept into the sea or injured by bullets. Our army suffered more than 400 casualties, half of which were killed at the hands of Wang Wei. ”

Liu Guan stumbled and scolded: "Mother, the first war made us suffer so badly, how much compensation money do we have to pay, this time it will be a loss, I should have cut down that thief and a bird last night!"

Hai Liqing shook his head and said: "No, it really died in our hands, and the Qidong rabbit died and the fox was sad, so maybe they would break up and go home." ”

Chongwen nibbled up the cured meat, drank the last mouthful of rice porridge, pushed the cup and plate to the side, and said calmly: "Okay, I know, Yizheng, beat the drum and gather the generals." ”

Kayama Yoshimasa replied, "Yes!"

In an instant, the war drums of the Bloodbird ship were like thunder, and the entire stern shook violently. Surrounded by a group of cronies, Chongwen strode out of the compass cabin and came to the corridor of the stern.

Liu Guan asked, "What should I do next?"

Chongwen looked at the dwindling rain, then looked at the flags fluttering in the north, and said, "What else, the south wind is strong, and that stupid guy in Hosokawa is in our north again, if you don't fight now, when will you wait." ”

Liu Guan laughed and said, "It's with me." He turned his head and shouted to the Fortune Ox under the canopy on the upper deck, "Big Stupid Ox, send an order to the cannon, ordering him to go to sea at once and sentry in the direction of Niwa Saura to the north." Also, let those Qidong out and let them go to the terrace to listen to the training!"

Chongwen stopped talking and strode onto the terrace.

The aft terrace is about 8 zhang square, with a drum platform and two doors of 2 and a half pounds of bronze son-and-mother guns, without mast to cover it, which is the most spacious place in the whole ship. At this time, the tarpaulin canopy has been erected, which will not rain, and the wet boat is a sign of falling into the water and sinking the ship, which is a bad luck.

In a moment, Xu Hai, Wu Ping, Wang Shi, Jiugui Jialiang, Liu Huaide, Danzuoweimen, Xu Yi 7 sentinels also arrived, plus 22 Qidong of the Bureau, and Chongwen, Er Zhuhai, General Bingshun, Hai Liqing, a total of 33 people, 33 men in black.

At this time, Bai Jie was monitoring the remnants of the Awa Navy in Muqi Village in Shamibang, and the reconnaissance team of the cannon was stinting the movements of the Hosokawa Navy, and these 33 people represented the bureau and nearly 10,000 Kang pirates. They came to carve up the coast of the country, because of the huge interests united, and because of all kinds of contradictions, they disliked each other, and it was difficult to unite as one.

Chongwen understood that it was difficult for a group of pirates to work together just by subduing and relying on less than a month of training. Because of the combination of interests, they will also flee because of danger, and the bureau cannot base their future fate on this sand army.

It is not enough to rely on the regimental sect and the regimental rules, he must establish a common thing in their hearts, only the common belief can unite as one, urging the mountains and the sea, and only in this way can the boat division have a soul and truly become an army.

The rain gradually turned into a drizzle, the sky was still gloomy, and the wind-blown clothes of these men in clothes were flying, but everyone had gloomy faces, unkempt beards, and gloomy and fierce eyes.

They are pirates, lawless raiders of the sea, villains who will burst out and kill people for a sack of rice. They are the bravest group of people in the world, never gloomy by the wrath of the king, and they have never stopped crying hysterically for 4,000 years... Only they have the potential to change this world of hunger and hunting.

Chongwen stood on the drum platform and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, yesterday we fought our first battle since we became an army. In the midst of a storm, and in the middle of the night, we were suddenly attacked. But you coped with it well, the soldiers were brave and calm, and almost completely annihilated more than 2,000 Awa naval troops, and we won.

This shows that our Shogunate is strong, we can overcome any difficulties and obstacles, and we can defeat any enemy, we will definitely defeat the Shogunate of the Shogunate, control their coasts, and your family business will become bigger and bigger.

However, we also killed and wounded more than 400 people, and that was because some of us were as cowardly as rats. He was afraid of the enemy, and for his own safety, he did not care about the life and death of others, and injured many of our brothers. ”

Wang Qingxi scolded: "Where did you hide that thief and bird? hand him over!"

Chongwen said: "He is a merchant in the East China Sea, no matter what he does, we have no right to take his life, that is to harm his colleagues and violate the rules of the group."

Everyone in this world will do wrong things, think about it, if any of us inadvertently do something wrong, and are wantonly dealt with by our fellow Taoists, without asking right or wrong, and not being allowed to defend themselves, is this fair to join the mother? We established the East China Sea Merchant Group to protect and develop each and every one of us, not to suffer the wrongs of others. Therefore, that kid should be handed over to the League Arbitration Hall to deal with impartially. ”

Lin Feng shouted: "Because he is a group household, can he do anything wrong? ”

Chongwen said lightly: "Who said he was not punished, last night... I have already cut off one of the king's legs. ”

There was an uproar, and there was an exclamation on the terrace, and there was relief, surprise, fear, and confusion in the voice.

Chongwen said: "The rules of the group are not, they are something that each of us should abide by, otherwise there would be no East China Sea business group." I will send Wang Wei to the ten cities to recuperate from his injuries, and if he is seriously injured, he will be sent to the Hirado Main Hall, and the League and Arbitration Hall will give a fair punishment. It's nothing more than three articles, or a fine of silver, or a fine of property, or removal of the group, and the group will definitely give you an explanation, and the brothers will not die in vain. ”

The Qidong who died sailors were silent, and after choosing the damn regimental meeting, they could only believe them, they swore in front of Mazu Niangniang. However, many people have made up their minds that they will never choose to go to sea to be a group elder after 3 years.

Chongwen raised his voice and said: "It is not only Captain Wang Weibo who is guilty, as the head of a sentry, he can't restrain his subordinates and mess up the fleet, and Liu Huaide is also guilty of leading the sentry." ”

The 32 men were really stunned, Liu Huaide was his own person on Longwang Island, the most trusted cronies of the big shopkeeper, and he was in charge. Moreover, under a surprise attack in the dark, it is impossible for the sentry to master every ship in a short period of time, and it cannot be said that the sentry is responsible for any accident.
