It turned out that the pirates knew at a glance that the dilapidated fishing boat had no oil or water at all, so they were not allowed to dock directly, and even shot at the fishing boat with bird guns and crossbow arrows, threatening them to get out of the way quickly.

This annoyed Wu Qing, firstly, there was almost no food and fresh water on their fishing boats, and secondly, the other party was so unreasonable that it would matter if they didn't help rescue, they even shot at them for no reason, injuring one of their brothers.

However, Wu Qing did not rashly launch a counterattack against the other party, but quickly escaped from the pirate's attack range, pretending to flee in a hurry, and left the island far away.

Seeing their broken fishing boats fleeing, the pirates did not pursue them, and it was certain that they would die in the vast sea in a short time.

In the middle of the night, Wu Qing actually commanded the fishing boat to sneak over from the other side of the island. It turns out that the terrain of this island is very dangerous, except for a flat gap in the southeast, all other places are cliffs tens or even hundreds of meters high.

Therefore, at that time, the pirates on the island only placed regular defensive personnel in this southeast gap at night, and there were no sentry posts at all in other places, at best symbolic sporadic patrols.

Because, like the kind of rock wall where the sea crashes all year round, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to climb from anywhere. Even if they were lucky, it was only three or two people, and in the face of more than 100 vicious pirates in the hinterland of the island, it was just a wolf. You must know that whoever became a pirate in those years was not a ruthless and murderous character who did not blink.

However: "Everyone is a Bodhi fruit, and the wicked have their own wicked grinding!"

These pirates never dreamed that the Wuqing family was originally a unique branch of Hakka medicine pickers in the mountains of Guangxi, who had been begging for a living on the cliffs for generations. No matter how dangerous the cliff is, in the eyes of their clan, it is also an extremely ordinary smooth road, because their clan has always had a little-known secret.

That is, the center of their hands and feet, they are born with an extremely rare powerful sucker, which is difficult for others to find on weekdays, and only shows up when they perform their own climbing skills.

Of course, this is also an extremely important reason why Wu Qing and his old brothers in the camp have always been valued by the kings of the Celestial Empire, because they are indeed able to create many incredible miracles under many incredible circumstances.

When Shi Dakai besieged Luzhou City for several months, it was Wu Qing who led his brothers to climb the city wall with their bare hands in the torrential rain, forcibly blew open the city gate from the inside, and finally forced Jiang Zhongyuan, a famous general of the late Qing Dynasty, to death in one fell swoop.

At this time, on the fishing boat, among the twenty-eight people led by Wu Qing, there were five of his clansmen, and the rest were all good hands who followed him for the rest of his life.

In fact, as early as the daytime when the pirates were showing off their might, Wu Qing had secretly decided that he must forcibly take this island. Because he has fallen in love with the wonderful environment here, which is a treasure place for him and his brothers to live temporarily or even for a long time.

That night, Wu Qing left only seven brothers who were not good at rock climbing to take care of the fishing boat and the injured brother, and he personally led the remaining nineteen people to climb directly from the cliff.

By the time they entered the pirates' caves from above, almost all of them were still asleep. Originally, even if they were all conscious, it would be difficult for them to resist the attack of these twenty battle-hardened scouts, let alone them now

Almost incapable of resisting.

It didn't take half an hour for Wu Qing and them to completely control the situation. But Wu Qing did not kill them on a large scale, but only killed seven or eight particularly stubborn leaders with his own hands, and did not blame any pirates who were willing to surrender, and even the little minion who shot and wounded their brother was not held accountable.

Because Wu Qing knows very well that in this kind of unfamiliar place, if you want to stand firm and survive, you must rely on these people. Especially in this vast sea, no matter how high their martial arts are, it will be useless, after all, they have only walked in the rivers earlier, but once they encounter this real sea, they have no ability.

Moreover, most of the pirates like them are fierce bandits, and they just gather together to take what they need. But they have one thing in common, that is, they worship heroes blindly, and as long as you completely surrender them, they will sincerely submit to them.

Because their ultimate goal is nothing more than eating, drinking, and having fun, to put it bluntly, it is to survive better, who has the ability they will naturally believe in whom, and there is no ordinary set of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness. Therefore, as long as it can truly deter them, over time, I can slowly train them into a fighting force.

Sure enough, after seeing Wu Qing's kung fu, these pirates all expressed their willingness to push him as the master and make him the boss. Especially after they knew Wu Qing's true identity, they were even more convinced, because although they were alone overseas, they had already heard of the prestige of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Even they secretly guessed at that time that Wuqing and they might have been sent by the Taiping Army to subdue them, and one day these people might be able to really worship the generals and marquis like those Taiping Army. Of course, Wu Qing did not tell them the true origin of his group, but followed their meaning, saying that it was the Heavenly King who sent them to find and open up overseas bases.

It's just that they encountered a typhoon on the way, and their warship was destroyed, but fortunately they met this fishing boat, and they found this place. Not only that, Wu Qing also immediately pretended to reward them in order to win people's hearts.

Fortunately, when they fled Tianjing, they were well prepared and brought out a certain amount of property, and when they fled later, they robbed several large households and obtained a lot of money, which came in handy.

In this way, Wu Qing firmly grasped this team of more than 100 pirates, and finally had a territory of his own, which could temporarily allow the brothers to settle down.

After everything stabilized, Wu Qing was able to study the island well. It turns out that this island is indeed a treasure that can be lived in for a long time, this island is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water, and the terrain is dangerous and difficult to defend. There are numerous caves on the hills on three sides of the island, and the inhabitants and pirates of the island live in the caves, and there is no need to build a separate dwelling.

In the center of the island there is a large area of fertile land that can grow a large amount of crops, which basically meets the normal needs of the island's inhabitants and pirates. In addition, there are many edible wild fruits on the mountains on three sides of the island, which are rare treasures on the sea.

In addition, there are several mountain springs on the island that do not dry up all year round, which solves the problem of fresh water. This means that even if these pirates live here in peace, they will be able to live a self-sufficient and stable life.

What's more, they also have more than a dozen large and small pirate ships, and some relatively advanced weapons in their hands, so they can go out to loot from time to time.

After Wu Qing took charge,

On the one hand, we will vigorously promote the self-sufficiency of the island, so that the original residents of the island can be engaged in production in peace and security, so as to ensure the normal supply of the island's perennial needs.

On the one hand, we have strengthened the training of the pirate armament on the island, selected a group of capable men, and personally carried out intensive training. Weed out some of the old, sick and disabled pirates and let them join the production or do some logistical work within their means.

Soon, Wu Qing personally trained a team of seventy or eighty capable pirates, plus the twenty-eight people he brought himself, to make a total of a team of one hundred people.

Moreover, Wuqing also set up many rules that everyone must follow. For example, it is forbidden to rob ordinary fishing boats, to rob and humiliate women, to collude with other pirate organizations, and to participate in fights between any other forces.

When encountering a domestic merchant ship, it is only allowed to grab goods, and it is not allowed to injure people's lives unless necessary; when encountering a foreign ship, no matter what the situation, whether it is a caravan or a wandering pirate, as long as the situation permits, all of them will be taken, and the personnel will solve the problem on the spot and destroy the corpse without leaving a trace.

When encountering the fleets of domestic officers and soldiers, they should all stay away, and never provoke them easily, and if they have to do so, they must only attack with complete certainty.

One of the most important was that no one should be allowed to surrender to the Qing court, because the hatred between the Qing court and their Taiping army was too deep.

In this way, in less than a few years, under the leadership of Wu Qing, their island became more and more prosperous. Due to their strict discipline, quick movements, and secretive work, coupled with the fact that their island is relatively remote, they have not attracted special attention from all sides, so they have developed steadily and peacefully.

At its peak, his pirate armament numbered more than two hundred, and the island's inhabitants numbered six or seven hundred. Of course, at this time, everyone had long forgotten the original past, and even Wuqing and his brothers gradually forgot about going home, and everyone hoped to live and work in peace and contentment.

Later, Wu Qing simply married an indigenous woman on the island and began to live a decent life.

Gradually, Wu Qing grew old, but his descendants have always inherited his position as the leader, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, their small island was not spared and was sacked by the Japanese army several times.

Fortunately, the location of their small island was too remote to have almost no strategic value, and the Japanese army only stopped by the three lights every time, and did not take any formal occupation.

Every time the Japanese attacked, they put up a little resistance, then went into hiding, and when the Japanese retreated, they went back to live again. And when the Japanese army saw that they were few and weak, they didn't put them down at all, and after each plunder, they quickly retreated. Therefore, in addition to the great loss of property, they did not lose their vitality.

By the time of the Liberation War, the island had undergone great changes. It turned out that among the descendants of Wuqing, their own opinions were not unified, and there were differences between the brothers. At this time, Wuqing's descendants were two brothers, and the eldest of them insisted on inheriting the ancestral business and continued to live his free life on the island.

However, his brother was opposed, believing that he should voluntarily join the government and accept its management. Because, the situation at that time was already different from the situation a hundred years ago, and their island should have been noticed by the government a long time ago.

If the government still treats them as pirates and pirates, the consequences will be unimaginable, but if they can be annexed in advance, they may be treated with courtesy.
