Chapter 113: The Enemy Appears Again
Zhou Da was so angry that he trembled, and he had no choice but to leave with his subordinates.
Without the veteran, everyone present was obviously relaxed, and Zhang Hong pulled over the cloud to reintroduce it to everyone. When Hailong heard that this was the young man who saved his brother's life, he hurriedly stepped forward to express his gratitude, and after some politeness, Yun frowned and asked, "Who is that Lord Zhao just now? Why is he so arrogant? There is no appearance of a court official at all!"
Hailong sighed: "His name is Zhao Youde, but those who know him call him Zhao Quede, and he is the cousin of the imperial court Dayuan Lanyu." ”
"Lan Yu is the brother-in-law of the founding father Chang Yuchun, but it is not by nepotism that he has today's status. He is very capable, brave and resourceful, brave and good at fighting, and has repeatedly made military exploits, and was named a general, the Duke of Liangguo. But he is proud, domineering, and extremely protective of his shortcomings......"
"Don't look at this Zhao Youde, who is as timid as a mouse when he encounters danger, but he is extremely greedy and lustful, and he relies on his cousin's relationship to deceive and hide from him, and no one dares to take care of it. Since taking office in Tongjiang, he has bullied men and women, wantonly amassed wealth, and committed all kinds of evil, which has reached the point of anger and resentment. ”
"I am in the maritime business, and I am not under his control, but I have been blackmailed and exploited by him many times, and I have no choice but to make a false deal with him. "It's embarrassing.
Zhang Hong gave him a big roll of his eyes: "Did you explain this to me? Who knows if you smell the same thing, anyway, you will have less contact with him in the future." The sea dragon hurriedly agreed.
At this moment, a large ship staggered slowly into the harbor with billowing smoke. When the sea dragon saw it, his face turned black. No, it's a two-masted ship to be exact, and the other three masts are all broken, and the hull is still leaking, and people are constantly shouting and screaming out.
The boat entered the shallow water and did not slow down, and came to a crooked stop after plunging headlong into the sand. Then he put down the boat, and several people helped one person to sail towards the shore.
However, the current sea wolf has long lost his previous arrogant appearance, and I saw that he was scorched all over, his eyebrows and hair were burned in half, his clothes were full of holes, and many places were simply bandaged and oozing blood......
Everyone hurriedly greeted them, and the sea dragon frowned and asked, "Which one are you playing?"
The sea wolf seemed to be seriously injured, but he was in good spirits, and he laughed when he saw the boss ask himself to open his big mouth, and he was foaming at the mouth while talking excitedly, but he was upside down. Fortunately, a few of his subordinates kept supplementing, and it took a long time for the congregation to understand.
It turned out that after separating from the sea dragon, this guy relied on the speed of the boat and recognized the direction and chased all the way. In less than an hour, he really caught up with three Japanese ships, but the other two were missing.
The sea wolf's eyes turned red when he saw the wolf, and he had already forgotten the boss's explanation, and rushed forward with his brothers. The people of the Haisha Gang who accompanied the ship were also a little stunned, and none of them went up to dissuade them, so the war was about to break out.
The Japanese had many people and ships, but they were not well prepared and were caught off guard by the sea wolves. As soon as the two sides came into contact, one of them was sunk by the five-masted ship, and the other was also seriously injured and set on fire.
Although it took advantage of a large advantage, the sea wolf's ship did not escape the attack of the Japanese ship, and it was heavy with several cannons, and three of its five masts were blown off......
Seeing that the sinking was imminent, all the sailors rushed up and dragged back the sea wolf, which was still clamoring for their demise. So, the five-masted ship turned around and fled, but thanks to the Japanese robbers who were in a hurry to put out the fire and rescue the wounded and their belongings and did not pour out the time to chase him, they barely escaped.
Fortunately, however, although the ship was battered by the pirates, none of them died, of course five or six were seriously wounded, and the others were each wounded.
Looking at his miserable appearance, Hailong was angry and distressed, and said with a gloomy face: "Didn't you tell you that you were just investigating and not clashing head-on with the Japanese Kou?
The sea wolf pouted: "Facing up to the widows, running away without firing two cannons, which is the character of the master." ”
"Okay!" Hailong gritted his teeth angrily: "You're the uncle, right, but you have to be responsible for your brothers, right? You don't want to die, your head is hot, and you rush up, and the brothers still want to die! How can you explain to their families if something happens?"
"Cut! Confess the! Boss, look, I'm the worst injured of these people. As soon as the cannon went off, these grandsons all found a place to hide, and only pushed me to the front as a stupid boy, I don't need you to explain it!"
"That's you tiger!" The sea dragon was so angry that the top of his head was about to smoke: "What about the boat? Look at it, the best boat in the gang has been made into a sieve by you, and it is estimated that it will sink in less than a moment or three!"
"Ahem, boss, don't be so petty. Isn't it just a boat? You make so much money every year, if you want to build it, you can afford to build eight out of ten better boats!"
At this time, the sea dragon was completely speechless, what can you do with such hob meat?
Yun Yun pondered and asked, "Brother Seawolf, you said that you sank one and seriously injured one, isn't it an exaggeration?"
The sea wolf stopped doing it at that time, patted his chest and coughed himself: "Who is my sea wolf?
Seeing this, the sea dragon was afraid that everyone would be stiff, so he hurriedly stepped forward: "Brother, although the sea wolf is unreliable, it will not be ambiguous in this kind of matter." ”
Hehe, Yun smiled: "Brother Hailong, I don't mean anything else." According to the Sea Wolf brothers, the losses of the Wako this time were not small, and it was absolutely impossible for them to sail back to the Japanese mainland for that long with a badly damaged ship, and they would definitely find a place to rest and repair the ship. But they are not familiar with the place and dare not approach the town casually, so they can only find a remote place to secretly purchase materials and do it themselves, so there must be a lot of clues to be found. You are the head of the land here, don't tell me you can't find any trace of them. ”
Well, Zhang Hong's eyes lit up: "My brother is right, it is very likely that the Japanese are hiding on the spot." Our fishing gang has suffered heavy losses this time, and this revenge must be avenged! You are familiar with each other, and you have many subordinates, so I will leave the matter of finding the Japanese robbers to you. Once you find it, don't startle the snake, inform me and Uncle Zhou, don't let these beasts escape. You have a snack, don't think about how to make money every day, if this thing is messed up, you will weigh the consequences yourself!" After speaking, he pulled the clouds and returned to the rudder to rest, and left the sea dragon there dumbfounded.
At this time, the sea wolf leaned over and asked, "Boss, did you get into trouble?"
The sea dragon couldn't cry and laughed: "Guess!"
More than ten days have passed, and during this time, Yun has been staying in the fishing gang and has not left. Originally, the purpose of his trip had been accomplished, but after seeing the brutal massacre of civilians by the Japanese invaders, he decided to stay and do his part.
The fishermen were not idle, repairing the boats, building weapons, training new people, everything was in full swing. The fiasco some time ago did not affect the morale of the fishing gang, but aroused the anger and revenge in their hearts. The whole gang is gearing up and actively preparing for battle, ready for revenge at any time.
Finally, after another three days, Hailong himself came to the door and brought the news of the discovery of the traces of the Japanese Bandits. It turned out that a merchant who had been doing business with the Japanese people all year round had secretly purchased a large number of iron tools on the black market, and was discovered by Hailong's men. The sea wolf, who had not recovered from his serious injuries, came to the door himself, and at first the merchant was lazy in every way, so the sea wolf used torture. Before he could stick to a stick of incense, the businessman who was used to being pampered on weekdays was recruited......
Their analysis was correct, the Japanese did not go far, and lurked on Conch Island, a hundred miles away, which is also the base camp of the Seahorse Gang. The Seahorse Gang is composed of a group of water bandits, who rob merchant ships and extort fishermen on weekdays, and recently got involved with Kojiro and his gang.
Since most of the looted property could not be directly brought back to the country for sale, they had to find a middleman along the coast to sell the stolen goods on their behalf, so they found the Seahorse Gang, which smelled the same. The boss of the Seahorse Gang, Black Bear, hit it off with Kojiro and immediately expressed their willingness to cooperate for a long time, so the current Conch Island has become a den for the Japanese to sell their stolen goods.
This time, the ship was badly damaged and unable to return to the sea, and it was unable to repair itself, so it had no choice but to find a black bear to seek refuge. The black bear had already tasted the sweetness of the deal with the Wakos, so he readily agreed, and not only took them in, but also sent his men to buy materials to repair the ships for the Wakos.
It's just that he also knew that if the collusion with the Japanese was discovered, it would inevitably become the target of the public, so he just did it secretly, but he didn't expect it to be discovered by the many Haisha Gangs.
