Chapter 61

Zhong Lei hurriedly asked the apprentice to get his long-handled broadsword, and came back from the room, a white shirt full of chicken blood, and a messy silver white hair, the people on the deck were startled, but he asked the apprentice with a smile: "Isn't the teacher like a ghost?" Nian Bo nodded and said, "It's the little ghost's grandfather, Bai Xingxing." Zhong Lei smiled, came to the bow of the ship, looked down from the battlement, and saw that the escort brothers fought very bravely, even if they were injured, they would not retreat, and they would kill the enemy bravely with a "howl", and they would not let the Haikou rob the ship. But there were so many pirates that they rushed forward one after another, and they couldn't cut them all. Seeing that the pirates were about to rush onto the ship, they only heard the order of the leader, and the brothers on the mast condescendingly fired their muskets, and the brothers who made the knife also slashed fiercely, and many family members and subordinates of Tianbo Mansion also rushed to participate in the battle, and fought very bravely, so that they finally killed the pirates. Then the guns of the clipper and the brig also opened fire at the same time, one cannon after another, and in a short time four clippers, three brigs, and several more were burning.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the red-clad and blue-pants pirate raised his hand and saw eight dilapidated fishing boats filled with dry wood and hay and grease coming up from behind, and then set fire to the dragon ship and the other ships. Quite a few pirates who were good at diving dived into the sea in an attempt to scuttle the dragon ship and make it incapacitated. "Let the sailors go to sea and kill the water ghosts. Zhong Lei shouted at Dong Ye Suo, who was commanding the escort team, and then jumped off the dragon ship with a knife, landed on a burning ship, and violently waved the big knife in his hand to pick up the burning dry wood and hay towards the Haikou ship, like a rain of fire. "Prop up the fireboat with a bamboo pole. He shouted at the leader of the brig and flew onto the ship. With a backhand, he slashed the leader of the pirates in red clothes and blue pants, and then screamed "Wow Wow" to kill people. It can be said that it is in the way of death. In the blink of an eye, thirty or forty pirates were split, and the rest of them saw that these white-haired monsters with three points of people and seven points of ghosts killed people faster than chickens. Suddenly frightened, thirty percent fell to the ground, and seventy percent fled, which can be said to be a mess.

"Fence it off, don't let a coward go. With Bai Zizong's order, the Longqing sailors arrived in time and surrounded the Haikou ships, first with a burst of gunfire into the sky, and then shouted in unison: "Those who refuse will die, and those who surrender will not die." Whoever refuses will die. Those who descend will not die. "A few years ago, Haikou scared Qi Jiguang's troops, and at this moment, when he saw so many officers and soldiers, and there were guns and cannons, he lost his fighting spirit and surrendered one after another. Then he borrowed a boat and flew aboard the dragon ship. When the brothers saw that the chief steward's skills were so superb, they could be said to be the masters of the masters, so they raised their arms in unison and cheered. Zhong Lei raised the big knife. After quieting down the brothers, he then told the water battalion to drive the pirate ship to the dragon ship, saying, "Listen to the thieves. I remember that there are all young and old in your family, and you are forced to join the prison by life. Death is avoided now. If you want to eat food and become a soldier, then stay. Incorporated into my water camp and seek a good future in the future. If you don't want to stay, please leave, don't be a thief anymore, or let me bump into it again, and I will not be spared. After hearing this, he left twenty percent and left eighty percent, and was immediately incorporated into fifteen water camps.

Bai Zizong's sailors poured more than 1,200 people and more than a dozen big boats, which was naturally happy in his heart, and immediately received Zhong Lei's order to destroy the island, and together with Shen Zhongzhu, Yang Biao, Feng Guang, Qin Yin, Guan Ziqing, Wang Dynasty, Shi Xiongmin, Hu Yanxue, Guan Kui, Nasha, and Zhenshan Hu's soldiers and horses, they quickly carried out island-by-island extermination of the Haikou in the Zhoushan area, which can be said to be unexpected. Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, four or five hundred large ships, and in addition to Zhoushan, the pirates on the other 100 islands, large and small, dared to resist when they saw where they were, and surrendered to the Longqing Navy Division without a fight. In this way, Bai Zizong incorporated 18,000 of them. Shen Zhongzhu, Yang Biao, Feng Guang, Qin Yin, Wang Dynasty, Guan Ziqing, Shi Xiongmin, Hu Yanxue, Hu Yanren, and Wang Changzu also expanded their respective soldiers and horses by 34,500 soldiers. Thinking of Guan Kui's Mulan Army, it is the weakest team among the soldiers and horses in Longqing today, with only more than 3,800 people, and they gave her more than 2,000 rings, women, and more than 1,300 war horses. "Thank you, brothers. "With so many female soldiers at once, no matter how happy they were, they were busy arranging more than 2,000 girls and women into various teams and practicing well. But thinking that Nasha had just accepted a few hundred Yahuan as female soldiers a few months ago, and it seemed that there were still more than 300 horses missing, so he asked his younger brother and Shi Xiongmin to help, and drove 350 horses to Nasha over.

Nasha had just received more than 300 maid rings to be female soldiers, and was worried about where the horses came from, when she saw more than 260 good horses sent by Shi Xiongmin and the others, she was very grateful, so she pointed to the four personal female soldiers and smiled: "General Shi, General Guan, although these four are my personal female soldiers, they are like sisters to me, and they are beautiful and good-looking, and they admire you two very much." I know that you two haven't married yet, so it's better to let the chief manager be a month old, and today you two will marry all four of them, what do you two think?" Guan Ziqing nodded and smiled, but he didn't expect that Shi Xiongmin's face was thinner than Shen Zhongzhu, and his face was blushing when he heard this, and he looked at the female soldier but couldn't speak. At this time, Zhong Lei arrived here on patrol, and when he saw Shi Xiongmin's virtue, he understood it in his heart, so he approached and smiled: "General Shi, Tianbo Mansion is not short of silver, but there is a shortage of soldiers and horses, if you marry two of them and give birth to a baby, this soldier and horse will also be available." Then he said to Shi Xiongmin's brother: "What are you all doing stupidly, why don't you quickly invite your general's wife back to the camp and drink wine at night." He left the women's camp island and went to Bai Zizong's water camp, and asked him to quickly surround Zhoushan Island and kill the Chen family, and the pirates in the Zhoushan Islands were basically wiped out.

coincided with the New Year, and there were many brothers in the surrender of the Chen family, and Zhong Lei did not want to injure the people by mistake, so he let the Longqing soldiers surround but not fight, and coerced the Chen family to surrender. And this Zhoushan Island is the lair of the Chen family, and it is also the largest group of pirates in the Zhoushan sea, with more than 2,000 pirates under his command. Chen Dongyuan had twelve brave and warlike sons, and more than 4,000 pirates, and was the largest pirate overlord in the area, that is, the Ryukyu pirates and the Japanese pirates. But unfortunately, after his death, these twelve unfortunate sons fought for the family business and no one obeyed anyone, and the result was that you fought for more than ten years before and after the battlefield, more than half of the more than 4,000 pirates died, and finally the eldest and the fourth killed ten brothers. inherited his father's business and became the new owner of Zhoushan Island.

After the Chen duo were surrounded, they collapsed on the chair like a leaky ball. Boss Chen looked at the sky with his eyes open. It took a while to speak. "Chen's ancestral industry was destroyed in our hands like this, and I am really unwilling. Chen Yan, the son of the fourth child, was busy persuading his uncle. "Uncle. Stay in the green mountains, you're still afraid that there will be no firewood. The Chen family still has more than 2,000 brothers, forty or fifty big ships, and one hundred and ten artillery pieces, so it is better to go to Qiongzhou Wen to avoid for a while, and then come back when the officials and soldiers are gone, then Zhoushan is still the world of our Chen family. Boss Chen thought that this was the only way to go, so he asked his henchmen to open the silver vault and pack all the gold and silver treasures in the vault in the open space in the courtyard. But the Chen family is robbing and smuggling. Chen Dong has been in business for so many years, and there are too many gold and silver in the treasury, and there are seven large boxes of gold alone, not to mention a lot of silver, at least a hundred or ten boxes. "Uncle, gold and silver are all things outside the body, so don't bring them. If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave. Chen Yan persuaded him, so he asked a few henchmen to protect his father and uncle to go first, and then let people carry seven boxes of gold. Twenty boxes of silver went out through the back door of the Chen compound, boarded twenty-eight clippers, and sailed into the reeds to wait for the plane to escape.

At this time, it was getting dark, and the ships surrounding the island were lit up. Zhao Bao was a little tired. He instructed his subordinates: "I'll go take a nap in the cabin, and don't forget to wake me up when the meal is ready." He went into the cabin. Soon after he lay down, he was woken up by a brother who said that someone wanted to see him. and whispered mysteriously in his ear for a while. "Really?" Zhao Bao's voice was a little surprised, and he saw that the brother nodded and smiled. Then he waved his hand and said, "Then let this man come in and speak." ”

Without waiting for the summons, one person entered the cabin, but it was Chen Yan, and when they met, they said: "Leader Zhao, I am a cheerful person, five thousand taels of gold are resting on my small boat, as long as you nod your head, let your brother dodge a way, and let our boat pass down, then the five thousand taels of gold will be yours." You and I can be friends in the future. This Zhao Bao was originally a greedy ghost who couldn't resist the temptation, and he had been moved by his subordinates' reports of greed before, but now after listening to Chen Yan's words, how could he miss the five thousand taels of gold in vain, and couldn't help but think: "What's more, it's dark, who can find out that I did this." "Even if he agreed, Chen Yan agreed. "Then you can go while it's dark. He agreed to the deal, let his brothers carry the gold, and let go of the twenty-eight ships of the Chen family. Soon after, Bai Zizong's clipper came to patrol at night, and vaguely found that there were many ships heading west under the night, so he had questions, so he came to ask Zhao Bao. "What kind of ships are those?" Zhao Bao was weak-hearted, squeaky and couldn't answer, Bai Zizong was suspicious when he saw it, and said: "Hmph, I'll come back and settle accounts with you." After throwing away the cruel words, he took a boatload of brothers and chased after the Chen team.

In the middle of the night, Zhong Lei was woken up from his sleep by his brother who was patrolling the night on the dragon ship. "Oh no, the chief manager, Zhao Bao, the leader of the battalion in the water division, privately accepted five thousand taels of gold from others, and secretly let go of the Chen family and his gang, afraid that General Bai would be responsible, he actually brought a dozen or so cronies to escape by boat, and let General Dongye chase after him and arrest him, and now they are all in the front hall to listen to the chief manager.

Also, General Bai only took a boatload of brothers and chased after the Chen family overnight, and he has not returned yet, and it is unpredictable whether he will live or die. Zhong Lei was furious when he heard this, and he didn't have time to put on his coat in surprise, so he reached out and took the long-handled knife leaning against the head of the bed, scattered it indiscriminately, barefoot, and rushed to the front hall angrily.

At this time, the dragon ship was heavily guarded, and the soldiers armed with muskets were five steps and one sentry, and ten steps and one post. The front hall is full of murderous energy, Wang Bao, Zhao Hu, Lei Long, Jiao Yi, Shen Zhongzhu, Feng Guang, Yang Biao, Qin Yin, Lei Tianba, Hu Yanxue, Wei Meng, Daliqi, Zhao Meng, Dong Ye Suo, Zhao Wei, Nasha, Guan Ziqing, Shi Xiongmin, Guan Kui, Hu Yanren, Wang Changzu, Wang Dynasty, Zhao Hai, Zhenshanhu, Zhao Chong, Zhao Cai, Qin Jinfeng, Li Mo, and the six leaders of the navy were all angry, everyone looked coldly at Zhao Bao who was kneeling in the center of the hall, the box of gold behind him that had been lifted, and his ten cronies.

Zhong Lei, who broke into the front hall with a knife, roared angrily: "What did you do about him." Then he slashed Zhao Bao with a knife in his hand, and the Zhao brothers were all kneeling on the ground.

He felt that he still didn't understand his hatred, so he cut off Zhao Bao's ten cronies one by one, and then said to the Zhao brothers: "This matter has nothing to do with you, let me get up." Then he said to Wang Bao: "Second brother, you will sit on this dragon ship, and then take a thousand brothers to seal the Zhoushan lair, and then rush to the South China Sea to find me." I took the sailor and set off immediately to pursue my own sect. He is a rare general, don't die in the hands of the Chen family. After that, he glanced at Zhao Bao's corpse, slashed a few more times in anger, and said: "It's all you, the beast, that almost ruined my ten-year plan." So he summoned a group of brothers, and asked them to exchange the chests of gold for twelve chests of silver from the treasury and carry them onto the clipper. Then he took the Zhao brothers, Qin Jinfeng, Li Mo, and the six leaders of the navy to leave the dragon ship and get on the main battle ship of the navy, and let the sailor brothers set sail and look for Bai Zizong overnight.

Although Bai Zizong was more familiar with the waters of Fujian and Zhejiang, due to the dark sky and the fact that the opponent had 28 big ships, he chased him until the second half of the night, and he actually let the Chen family play a good game of a group of rats and cats. As a result, the ship was hit by several shells and almost sank, eight brothers were killed and fifteen were wounded. More than 30 percent of his casualties were killed and wounded, and he himself was seriously injured. "It's a fucking shame to be bitten by a snake instead of fighting a snake. "He is also the chief general of more than 50,000 sailors, but at this time, he let the pirates fight like this, no matter how you think about it, you feel ashamed. Thanks to Chen's eagerness to flee for his life, otherwise a few more indiscriminate shots, as long as one cannonball hits the hull, then he and the whole ship brothers will be completely finished.

At this time, Bai Zizong was reluctant to chase and reluctant, and he was in a hurry and was afraid of being bombarded, so he had to stare at Chen's ships from a distance and follow behind, and no longer dared to chase after him.

But for fear of losing the Chen family, he can only adopt the strategy of being fast and fast, slow and slow, stopping and stopping, and I will run if you turn around and chase me, and I will chase after you when you turn around. In short, it is to bite you Chen Shuangxiong and keep a distance.

"General, will the chief manager come?" someone asked, and some people cried when they saw Bai Zizong's injury. There was no medicine on the ship, and they were afraid of being hit by artillery when they lit the lamp, so the brothers could only indiscriminately prick Bai Zizong's wounds, and whether they were dead or alive depended on whether the reinforcements could arrive in time. "It's all fucking crying birds, Lao Tzu still wants to be the founding minister, if you can't die, the chief manager will come to us. "In fact, whether there are any reinforcements coming, Bai Zizong himself has no bottom in his heart, just to cheer up his brothers, so he said that the chief manager will come. Because Zhong Lei is an invincible god in the eyes of his brothers.

finally survived until dawn, but what awaited Bai Zizong and them was bad luck. Due to the excessive flooding of the cabin, the speed of the ship slowed down significantly when it arrived in the waters of Fuzhou, and I could only watch as Chen Di's fleet gradually disappeared from sight. But this is not over, only after a while, the hull began to sink, some brothers began to panic, some jumped into the sea to flee for their lives, but Bai Zizong's old brothers all surrounded the eldest brother and refused to abandon the ship. "Brothers, don't wait, the stern of the ship has sunk, quickly take down Lao Tzu's flag, bring muskets and gunpowder, and escort the injured brother to abandon the ship and jump into the sea." "For those who eat at sea, the boat is their lifeblood, and no one will abandon the ship lightly until the last moment. Although the eldest brother Bai Zizong had already spoken, none of his brothers wanted to abandon the ship, as if they were waiting for that last moment to come. "Officers and men on board jump into the sea, the bow of the ship has capsized, if you don't jump, it will be over." Suddenly a fishing boat came from the shore, and it was a girl who was rocking the oar, and she cried out loudly as she rocked it. After listening to the girl's words, the brothers reluctantly glanced at their warship, took down the flag, took muskets and gunpowder, and escorted the wounded brother and the eldest brother into the sea, and slowly swam towards the fishing boat.
