In the bilge of the Yue Fei, the pirate leader Zhang Shouyi smiled when he saw his subordinates who were pushed in. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

First, a pirate was overjoyed when he saw Zhang Shouyi, and then he was stunned: "Big brother, can you still laugh?"

The other pirate was Zhang Shouyi's confidant, sat down in front of Zhang Shouyi, and asked quietly: "Big brother, didn't you say that you came to assassinate the leader of the Ming army before you left?"

"I'm happy, I think we can join this Ming army!" Zhang Shouyi first answered the first question loudly, and then told his henchmen: "The eyes of the thousands of households in the Ming army are bright, every move is natural, there are no flaws, the martial arts are unfathomable, I can't do it!"

The henchman asked, "Then what should I do? We are all captured, and we have no power to resist, are we waiting to die?"

Since the beginning of Yingzong, the Ming sailors have rarely taken the initiative to go to sea, this thousand households are young enough, the heart of meritorious service must be heavy, there is a place to borrow from us, it is the opportunity for us to settle down, you can go ashore to eat a bowl of food, I don't want to be a pirate of this Laoshizi for a long time, there is no tomorrow today, and I don't even dare to give birth!"

"What the eldest brother said is very true, but if you recruit An, of course it's good, but this binding is too tight, what's the matter!"

"Don't be bored! Tell me to go up again, and I'll ask for a way for everyone to live!" Zhang Shouyi has a big bag and a big cable, as a big brother, he has gained people's hearts at this time, just a word.

"Thank you, big brother!" The pirates chattered, pinning their hopes on Zhang Shouyi, as if Zhang Shouyi would be saved as long as he went out and said twice!

Under the guidance of Chen Yuetian, he rushed to the place where the pirates were besieging the merchant fleet when it was almost dark, and there were still some dead bodies and debris floating on the sea, and there were no pirate ships or merchant ships.

Several ships searched in all directions for a long time, and the lookout reported that they found nothing.

Ding Yi had already been reported by the soldiers at this time, and the ships interrogated the prisoners, Zhang Shouyi did not panic, this person's experience was completely consistent, and he ordered Zhang Shouyi to come up for questioning!

Zhang Shouyi, who was still bound, was brought up, and when he saw Ding Yi, he shouted without waiting for Ding Yi to speak: "Doesn't the general want to sweep the ugly crowd and sweep the sea frontier?"

Zhang Shouyi's voice was loud, and he shouted categorically, quite imposingly! Ding Yi couldn't help laughing: "Okay, okay! What do you think, let's hear it!"

Zhang Shouyi said sincerely: "On the sea, there is a certain amount of detail, whether it is Xiyi, Japanese or pirates, they can lead the way for the general!

Ding Yi thought for a moment: "How do you make me believe in you?"

Zhang Shouyi said: "It is only two days away to the southeast of Yizhou, it is my homeland Que'er Island, there are still five warships, hundreds of personnel, countless goods, I am willing to dedicate all of them to the general, in order to participate in the grand event!"

Ding Yida smiled and personally untied Zhang Shouyi's bonds, and ordered Zhang Shouyi to hang a hundred posts and temporarily serve as a counselor. At the same time, an order was passed down, and each ship interrogated whether the captives were willing to surrender, and there was no need to explain after the interrogation, just wait for the time of one pillar of incense, and those who were willing to surrender in one pillar of incense were divided into each ship, and those who did not want to surrender in one pillar of incense were directly chopped up and thrown into the sea!

Zhang Shouyi knelt down to plead for his subordinates, saying that as long as he said a word, all of them must be people who could be used by generals, and these people were all good sailors who followed him across the sea!

Ding had a serious face, and said with a straight face: "The road is chosen by yourself, and you have to seize the opportunity to be loyal to the court, and it is already very merciful to give a pillar of incense!"

In the future, Zhang Shouyi can be cultivated and promoted, but now, there is no possibility for his original team to be left to him!

Knowing the times is the majority, a total of fifty-two pirates are willing to surrender in a pillar of incense, and there are more than 30 pirates who want to see it again, but they didn't expect that after the Ming army finished asking, they neither persuaded nor coerced, and directly proposed those who hesitated after a pillar of incense, pulled up the deck, and began to cut off their heads.

More than thirty corpses were thrown into the sea, and those who discarded the corpses were former pirates who had newly joined the Ming army, and the blood on the deck was also washed away by them with water! Everyone did their best and trembled, and no one dared to speak out.

After the clean-up, the fifty-two pirates were scattered and divided into five warships, like a drop of water that melted into the sea, and there was no longer the slightest pirate appearance and style.

Chen Yuetian was greatly frightened, and asked to see Ding Yi again, and took the initiative to raise the thank you fee to two thousand taels, just hoping to return to the mainland alive!

Ding Yi comforted Chen Yuetian, don't worry too much, go back to the mainland.

The fleet sailed southeast, harvested five twenty-meter-long warships in Queer Island, and rescued four merchant ships, two of which were just won by pirates in this battle, Zhang Shouyi's usual style is not very fierce, so the pirates did not kill all the merchant ship crews, and they were rescued together this time!

Zhang Shouyi was afraid that Ding Yi would kill people, so as soon as the ship docked, he rushed to the first one, and was in a hurry to recruit the pirates, but there were still sixteen untamed guys who tried to provoke resistance, but Ding Yi did not hesitate to kill them on the spot, and everyone had to surrender! At night, several more people wanted to sneak away, but they were still beheaded to show the public.

One hundred and sixty-two pirates joined Ding Yi's team, and Ding Yi was still scattered and incorporated into the fleet, and five captains were appointed from the most successful in the previous battle.

Ding Yi's team expanded to three large warships, seven medium-sized warships, and the five new warships were named Yue Lei, Niu Gao, Wang Gui, Yang Zaixing, and He Yuanqing by Ding Yi.

Zhang Shouyi's Que'er Island found 126,000 taels of silver and countless miscellaneous goods, and they were distributed! Even in this environment, the pirates still have 68 family members! The adaptability of the people is really strong!

There were no captains and the like of the rescued crew members, and some crew members tried to ask Ding Yi for the return of goods and merchant ships, but they were ordered by Ding Yi to throw themselves into the sea, and of course what was captured was their own, and those who grabbed food with themselves were called ignorant and ignorant, and this kind of person should be thrown into the sea to be sober and sober! Other crew members were directly incorporated into the sailors by Ding Yi, and the army is a big family, bound by military law, so stay honest!

I didn't dare to continue to pursue other pirates, there were too many newcomers to the fleet, and the pirates also had their own thoughts, and it was not easy to barely guarantee that there would be no trouble under the cruel means.

Hearing that the Ming Dynasty built a city in Yibei Port, the residents of Yizhou Island kept moving in, in just four days, Yibei Port became more than 850 households, and the 100 new soldiers who stayed behind increased by 120 people, a thriving scene, the people in the port also had a strong smile on their faces, Fu Laojiu was busy every day without touching the ground, Fu Daguan still continued to send soldiers to the distance to promote the determination of the Ming Dynasty to manage Yizhou, Fu Daguan reported to Ding Yi, there are quite seven or eight families such as the Li clan are still waiting to see the situation, as long as Yibei City is built, these big clans will be relocated！

There are now more than 1,000 people under Ding Yi, the expansion of the army is too fast, worried that the army is unstable, the surrendered pirates were thrown by Ding Yi to Fu Daguan 50 people, and another 100 people were transferred from Fu Daguan's men to the ship, and ordered Fu Daguan to continue to recruit troops and publicize the determination of the Ming Dynasty to manage Yizhou, and strive for more people to come to Yizhou!

In Yibeigang again, the remaining personnel and the new pirates who did not participate in the war were rewarded with two silver coins each, which was really like thunder, and at this time the newcomers began to return to their hearts, and Ding Yi also put his mind at ease, no longer worried about the newcomers' rebellion!

After resting for another day in Yibei Port, leaving He Yuanqing and Yang Zaixing as the maritime vigilance force of Yibei Port, Ding Yi returned to Fuzhou with three major warships, five small warships and five merchant ships that had prepared the Ming battle flag.

Yun Zhong Fei ordered Fuzhou Sailor and Ding Yi to go north to Nanjing to meet, the messenger left after the order, Zhao Lirong, Dong Dayong and Qiu Yun stayed in Fuzhou to wait for Ding Yi, Ding Yi saw these three people, very happy, Dong Dayong cried with joy, the young man has not been far away, seeing Ding Yi is like seeing his brother, very happy, Qiu Yun is introverted, hehe laughs non-stop, Zhao Lirong is sunny, very charming, so Ding Yi is quite excited!

Zhao Lirong was surprised that Ding Yi had actually formed a fleet of eight warships, which was really unexpected.

Ding Yi visited Father-in-law Lu, and with the help of Father-in-law Lu, he ordered the shipyard to do maintenance for eight warships. In the shipyard, the steward was very surprised by the two Western-style warships, and there were also Western-style armed merchant ships that came to Fuzhou before, but they were very different from these two, these two Western-style warships were very different from the Ming warships, and the lack of watertight cabins was his shortcoming, but the setting of the mast and gun emplacements was superior to that of the Daming warships. The use of the spinnaker made him more flexible and suitable for the ocean, and the use of the side guns made his firepower more ferocious, and the boatmen sighed, Zheng He's treasure ship was obviously as huge as a city, much better than these two sail warships, and it had been lost at this time, and no one would do it! The shipwrights made various measurements on Western-style warships, and took the initiative to find Ding Yi, saying that many technologies for rebuilding new warships can be transplanted, which can make the Daming warships more powerful, and also said that Western-style artillery is obviously better, and Daming artillery and musket technology are slightly inferior, and it is recommended that Ding Yi apply to the Ministry of Industry to build imitation Western-style artillery, which is convenient for using the upper side gun technology!

The technology of muskets and artillery needs modern industry, the artillery of the early Ming Dynasty is still good, but the development is too slow, the problem of the management system, the craftsman has no status, it will definitely not be developed, but imitation should be fine.

Ding Yi decided to build a warehouse in Fuzhou, where Xu Weichen would take a few people to handle the goods, and in the future, he would also be used as a liaison warehouse for the sailors of the South China Sea, and he would be needed to do things from time to time! In the future, it would be best for this warehouse to develop to Nanjing, and to unite with the Tian family, there are many things that can be done, and the captured merchant ships can be hung under this warehouse in the future.

At the urging of Zhao Lirong, Ding Yi took two large, three and five small ships north to Nanjing, leaving Lao Lin with one large, two and three small warships on a business trip to Fuzhou, and four cargo ships Ding Yi took one away, and the other three were left for Lao Lin!
