With Shi Xiongmin as the vanguard, Yang Xiong, Guan Da, and the three Shi Ladies as partial generals, they led 15,000 Longqing soldiers along the coastline to the west, and finally entered the territory of Longqing from Xunzhou; while the water route was to take Dongye Suo, Zhao Wei, Zhao Meng, Zhao Hai, Zhao Chong, Zhao Cai, Qin Jinfeng, and Li Mo to lead more than 70,000 sailors to cross the strait between Qiongzhou and Leizhou, and enter Longqing from Lianzhou; the general manager, together with Zhao Hu, Wang Bao, Shi Guo, Mrs. Lei, Mrs. Jiao, Mrs. Qu, and Mrs. Shen escorted the young master Zhu Tianxiao to board the dragon ship, and the Longqing soldiers advanced by land and water.
First of all, the Lei Long army left Fuzhou, all the way through Quanzhou, just arrived at the border of Zhangzhou, only to see hundreds of people running in front of them were very panicked, the pioneer Shi Xiongmin stopped a few people, asked: "Why are you so panicked?" The people said one by one, saying that many pirates and bandits had come to the villages in front of them, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil, hoping that the officers and soldiers would go to the rescue. Shi Xiongmin listened to the general Yangxiong, Guan Da led 800 troops to exterminate, he and his wife led the troops to continue to move forward, opened the road in the mountains, built bridges in the river, and passed Chaozhou, Huizhou, and Guangzhou in one breath.
At this time, it was winter, the cold wind was blowing, the sky was freezing, but the soldiers were still wearing single clothes. Many people suffered from the wind chill, and the former army could only camp in a place called Lake Town. Buy clothes and ask for medicine, rest and recuperate. By the way, recruit new recruits and step up drills. It wasn't until after the New Year that Lei Long's army arrived, and seeing that Shi Xiongmin's army had expanded to 28,000 people, even the Ma army had 2,000, and everyone praised them for their ability to live, and they actually recruited more than 13,000 new troops. After resting for a few days, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the army advanced to Nanning without mentioning.
Besides, the dragon and phoenix ships and the more than 570 large ships of the Longqing Navy Division dragged more than 400 small boats slowly on the sea. Along the way, 17 pirates were suppressed, and after receiving more than 2,700 people, they stopped sailing and docked in Zhangzhou Mansion to purchase supplies and load fresh water. Zhao Meng had a good daughter in Zhangzhou who was the shopkeeper of a fish shop, and he should have married a long time ago, but he didn't want all the Zhao brothers to be captured by pirates, and they were almost sold to the West as slaves. After that, he worked in the Longqing Water Division.
Today, when he had the opportunity to go ashore, he took four personal soldiers, went ashore to buy two loads of gifts, and carried them to the fish shop. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper of the fish shop saw Zhao Meng and hurriedly greeted the man to the door. He looked very flustered. Zhao Meng felt that something was wrong, so he grabbed a guy and asked, "What about your second lady?" The guy looked at the shopkeeper, unable to speak, so angry that he pulled out his knife and was about to kill. The shopkeeper came over when he saw it. grabbed Zhao Meng's arm holding the knife and said, "Zhao Meng, you don't have to embarrass buddy, Arjun can't wait for you." I got married at the beginning of the year. ”
Zhao Meng was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood. The guy who released the fish shop shook his head and sighed, and left with his own soldiers. A good girl just married someone else. The more Zhao Meng thought about it, the more wronged he became, so he waved his hand and took his soldiers into the house to drink and relieve his sorrows. "Brother Meng. As soon as Zhao Meng entered the hall, before he had time to choose a table and sit down, he heard someone in the hall calling him, and he was busy looking at it, but it was his brother Li Fei and Brother Li, who suddenly smiled happily, and sat down happily, pointed to the chair and asked the four soldiers to sit down, and then raised his hand to call the guys, and asked for ten catties of beef, five catties of mutton, one fat duck and one tender chicken, plus four plates of stir-fried vegetables and three urns of good wine.
This Li Fei is the Li Fei who broke into the main altar of the Heavenly Demon Association with the twelve gods of heaven and earth that year and fought to the death to save the crazy old man. Since escaping from Xi'an City that year, in order to avoid the revenge of the invincible demon lord's Heavenly Demon Society, he came to the coast from the Central Plains, gathered thirty or forty large and small fishing boats, and also occupied a small island to make a living. Because they are all other leaders who beg for a living at sea, they also got acquainted with the Zhao brothers. When they met pirates, they would help each other, and they would walk around and drink with each other in their spare time, and this friendship became deeper and deeper.
"Brother Meng, look at you like you, you seem to have made a fortune. After Li Fei smiled, they were not polite to each other and asked about the current situation. Li Fei shook his head and sighed, and said, "Don't mention it." Since the Chen family of Zhoushan became the guests of the Black Wind, the pirates and robbers were all in one place, and there were 3,000 people, and even the local government could not help them. In this way, it will also be bitter for us fishermen who rely on the sea for food. Damn, we're almost skinned by them. Alas, this fish must be unable to be hunted, but I don't want to go back to my hometown, so I went ashore to see what I could do to make a living. When Zhao Meng heard this, he took out a twenty-five taels of silver and stuffed it into Li Fei's hand, looked at a few diners at the adjacent table, and said in a low voice: "Brother Li, you are not an outsider, then I will tell the truth." I won't hide it from you, our brothers are now generals with troops. By the way, you should know about Bai Zizong, right?" Li Fei thought for a while and shook his head and said, "It seems that I have heard of such a person, who is a pirate head, but I have never seen it. ”
Zhao Meng said: "This person is terrible now, he has become the generalissimo of the naval division, commanding more than 50,000 soldiers and horses, and more than four or five hundred warships. Brother Li, do you want to be a general like me?" Li Fei was stunned for a moment and then smiled and said: "I don't dare to do this kind of daydream, don't make fun of me, it's good to have a drink." ”
After Zhao Meng laughed, he just drank and chatted about some gossip. After drinking the wine and paying the silver, he took Li Fei to the dock and boarded the Longqing boat. After traveling dozens of nautical miles offshore, the big ship slowly approached the dragon ship. After boarding the dragon ship, Zhao Meng took Li Fei to the main hall, and saw Zhong Lei, Wang Bao, Zhao Hu, Shi Guo, Bai Zizong, and Dongye Suo eating and drinking, so he said, "Chief Manager, there is a happy event." There is a happy event. Zhong Lei smiled when he heard this: "Look at you on the shore for the second time, but you are happy to be like this, do you have a crush on a big lady, Lao Zhong, I will propose you to kiss." Zhao Meng scratched his head a few times embarrassedly and said a few times: "Boss, I'm not anxious about marrying a wife, but I have the whereabouts of the Chen family, do you think this is a big joy?"
Bai Zizong jumped up when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly." Where are these Chen heroes hiding, this head is yours. Zhao Meng introduced Li Fei to everyone. Zhong Lei liked this person when he saw him, so he asked: "Who are you Jin Wuming, the old monster who is worried?" Li Fei said: "His old man is my master." That's right. Look at you, it's not the bloody ogre. Zhong Lei nodded and smiled: "Yes, you have vision, I am the ogre Zhong Lei, but I came back to life after I died."
By the way, since you are a master disciple of the worry-free old monster Jin Wuming, those arms must be infinitely powerful, but I don't know how much strength?" Li Fei said: "Seven hundred in the left arm and eight hundred in the right arm." A fist can kill a buffalo, and he learns to break the wall and open the mountain. Ogre, do you want me to ask me what's the matter?" Zhong Lei didn't speak, got up and dragged Li Fei out of the main hall to the deck, pointed to a double-edged giant axe that was horizontal under the edge of the ship and said: "This giant axe was obtained when I suppressed the pirates in Zhoushan, it weighs about one hundred and sixty or seventy pounds, and no one can play with it, so I threw it here." You've got a few tricks to play around. Let's see if it's going well. ”
Li Fei's blade was lost after saving the crazy old man from being injured, and he has never had a handy blade since then, and at this moment, seeing this rare instrument, he nodded hurriedly, and lifted the double-edged giant axe with one arm and checked it. Immediately on the deck, the tiger was vigorous, and a few tricks were made in a breathtaking manner, and everyone clapped their hands and shouted "yes" when they saw it. Zhong Lei asked Li Fei to accept the move. smashed a few punches in his chest and smiled: "Li Fei, I know that you are an arrogant person. Except for your master. Crazy old way, and there is a free mother-in-law. You haven't served anyone yet. In this way, I don't want to summon you, lest your heart be unhappy, then be the personal guard of the young master of my family. He is Zhu Xiaotian, the younger brother of the current Emperor Shenzong, and the future emperor of Longqing, he should not beg you. Li Fei didn't nod, but asked. "Is this the man who once saved the mad old child? If not, I wouldn't have had the time to do it, and I wouldn't have been someone else's personal bodyguard. ”
Zhong Lei laughed and said: "The young master of my family is the child who saved the crazy old man back then, and he also received the favor of your master Wuwu Lao Wei for ten days in Luzhou Mansion, and he also served as a distinguished guest in the southeast hall of your Heavenly Eagle Sect for more than three months, and became the precious brother of the wolf Jin Xiangyu. Li Fei listened and responded: "Since it is someone I admire, then I have done this guard." Then, Zhong Lei asked about the Chen Shuangxiong and Hei Feng, and after Li Fei told what he knew, he added: "This Hei Feng is the bandit leader of Liangguang, very fierce, and there are sixty-four defensive artillery pieces on the island, which are even more powerful." There were forty-six brothers and more than 30,000 bandits. Zhong Lei listened to Li Fei and returned to the main hall, and first introduced Zhao Hu and Wang Bao. "This is the double evil of yin and yang. Li Fei hugged his fist at the two of them, sat down on the chair that Zhong Lei pointed to, took a large bowl of wine handed by Nian Bo with both hands, and only listened to Zhong Lei ask one person. "This is your job, see how to play?" Li Fei knew that this person was Bai Zizong, the general of the Water Division.
Bai Zizong didn't answer immediately, but looked at Xiao Zhuge Shiguo with a smile, as if to say: "You are Xiao Zhuge , do you see how to play?"
Shi Guo drank a few sips of wine before he said, "Grand Administrator, General Bai, since there are sixty-four defensive artillery pieces on the island, and there are one hundred and ten artillery pieces on the ship of the Chen Clan. In my opinion, this battle is not easy to attack, and it can only be outwitted. After taking a big sip of wine, he continued: "This Brother Li also said just now, Hei Fengqiang married the daughter of a large family in Huizhou Mansion as the wife of the village, and he will have a big banquet to celebrate his birthday next month, so you generals can pick some good kung fu in the army and pretend to be fishermen, and then mix with the family members of Huizhou big families in the team of congratulations and gifts, and you can kill the Chen Shuangxiong and Hei Feng and others." Immediately, as soon as he said this, Zhong Lei felt that Shi Guo's plan was feasible, so he beckoned everyone to continue drinking and discussing to see how to strengthen Longqing's strength.
After drinking, Zhong Lei asked Zhao Meng to take Li Fei to kneel to see the young master first. Unexpectedly, Tianxiao saw that Li Fei was unusually affectionate, and raised his hand to summon Shan Hu and Qian Fu, who were only four of the two hundred soldiers, and said: "Senior brother, although their kung fu is not squeezed into the first-class role, they are people who are loyal and righteous. In the future, you will work together in one place, you will be my internal commander, Shanhu and Qian Fu will be the deputy commanders, and then the three of you will recruit your subordinates by yourself. But how many people to recruit is up to you, how about it?" Li Fei, Shanhu, and Qian Fu hurriedly knelt down to thank the young master.
Li Fei's master has no worries about the old monster Jin Wuming, because of his crazy old way, he also taught Tianxiao some tricks, and also gave him a seven-color flower bomb, this fate is naturally not small, and it can be regarded as half a master and apprentice. Let's talk about Li Fei. Yin and Yang fly together, the four brothers and sisters of the Fei family. and the twelve gods of heaven and earth had saved the crazy old way back then, and Tianxiao accidentally became the closed disciple of the crazy old way. Then of course he remembered the goodness of Li Fei and these people, and vowed to repay these righteous people on behalf of the master.
Therefore, Tianxiao felt very affectionate when he saw Li Fei, and asked: "Senior brother, is there a recent situation of Yin and Yang Shuangfei, the four brothers and sisters of the Fei family, and the twelve gods of heaven and earth?" Seeing Li Fei shaking his head and sighing lightly, he knew what was going on, so he didn't ask anymore. Introduce the future chief eunuch Dexi and the personal maid Jixiang Ruyi to Li Fei. In the end, let Zhao Meng take Li Fei to meet the chief manager's wife Yingchun, the county lord Peony and Xuemei, as well as Mrs. Lei, Mrs. Jiao, Mrs. Feng, Mrs. Bai, and Mrs. Shen. Mrs. Qu.
After taking a long walk around the dragon and phoenix ship, Zhao Meng took Li Fei off the ship and got on the warship, returned to his water camp, and called his brother to treat him with good wine. Eating, drinking, laughing, and laughing are very happy. After eating and staying on the ship for a few days, I saw the end of the month. Li Fei said goodbye to Zhao Meng and left the water camp. After returning to his small island, Li Fei immediately summoned more than 1,000 fishermen under his command. said that he had taken refuge in the foreign Longqing soldiers and horses, and became the commander of the future Longqing Emperor Zhu Tianxiao's internal guard. In the near future, he will go with the Longqing people to exterminate the Black Wind and the Chen Clan. He also said that if everyone also wants to take refuge in Longqing, then they will fish in the South China Sea in the future, and they will not be oppressed by others for the people of Longqing. Everyone said "yes", so they went home, packed their belongings on the boat, and set sail to the fishing camp of the Longqing sailors the next day.
Yingchun heard that the thirty or forty fishermen brought by Li Fei had arrived at the water camp, and hurriedly sent people to send 100 catties of grain and 20 taels of silver to each household. All the dilapidated fishing boats were quickly repaired, and new fishing nets were given to each household. The fishermen were very happy to see it, and they remembered the goodness of the Longqing people in their hearts. In just a few days, these fishermen went out to fish and came back, and they also recruited more than 300 large and small fishing boats one after another, all of which returned to Longqing.
Soon it was the day of Heifeng's wedding, Zhong Lei, Wang Bao, Zhao Hu, Bai Zizong, Dongye Suo, Zhao Wei, Zhao Meng, Zhao Hai, Zhao Chong, Zhao Cai, Qin Jinfeng, Li Mo, Nian Bo, Qian Gui, and forty sailors hid sharp weapons, dressed as fishermen, loaded more than 30 baskets of fresh fish that fishermen had just caught in the early morning and boarded three broken fish boats, and Li Fei sailed with the water camp and landed on the island dock where Heifeng lived. "What are you doing?" a pirate leader asked, Li Fei looked around, and saw that it was Hei Feng's cousin Guo Jianglong, so he raised his hand and shouted: "Third brother Yang, I am Li Fei from Chen's Island, and I brought your eldest brother good wine and roast chicken." There are also more than 30 baskets of fresh fish, which can be regarded as coming to congratulate and beg for a bowl of wine to drink. Seeing that it was Li Fei and the fish was coming, this Jianglong naturally did not doubt it, so he raised his hand and beckoned: "Then go to the island quickly." But, don't wander around. ”
After everyone went to the island, Qin Jinfeng took the opportunity of sending the fish into the kitchen of Heifeng's house to touch the surrounding terrain, and saw Mrs. Lei, Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Jiao, Mrs. Feng, Mrs. Shen, and Mrs. Qu mixed with the woman's family with thirty sailors, so they looked at each other, and they all understood each other. Li Mo Nianbo was not idle, and after a few leisurely circles on the island, he basically figured out the situation on the island and the location of the artillery. Then, under the leadership of the small leader Ma Ning, the sixty-four sailors loaded sixty-four urns of good wine and sixty-four roast chickens, and after meeting with Li Mo, they went to the sixty-four artillery pieces. "Come, uncle, marry Mrs. Zhai, and have fun with the brothers. ”
The Longqing sailor greeted, and the gunners had already been slanderous when they saw the wine and the roast chicken, and they didn't ask anyone else's origins, and each group of three people sat on the ground, tearing the roast chicken and drinking wine. But the wine had already been filled with sweat medicine, and not long after, the gunners all lay down, and Ma Ning saw that he was busy dancing the flag and signaling. The 100 warships waiting on the surface of the ocean saw the signal of attack and immediately sailed to surround the island in the wind and waves. The 10,000 sailors on board rushed to disembark and wade ashore, and the pirates on the island saw a large group of officers and men rushing towards them, and they shouted in astonishment: "Oh no, the officers and soldiers have touched the island." ”
Hei Feng, the Chen family and a group of bandit brothers were just about to go to the wine table to hold a wedding banquet, when they suddenly heard bursts of exclamations from all around, as if the officers and soldiers had touched the island. At first, no one believed it, thinking that there were so many artillery pieces on the island, why didn't they hear the sound of cannons, and how could the officers and soldiers touch the island. "It's okay, it's okay. It must be some brother who was drunk and screaming. As soon as Hei Feng said this, he thought about it wrong, he hadn't drunk the wine yet, so where did he get a drunk. He was just about to dispatch troops, but he had already heard the sound of killing all over the island, so he felt bad, and hurriedly waved his hand and the Chen family rushed into the house with forty-six brothers.
