Chapter 185 Shouhan's return to Shouhan, Zhilong's return to Zhilong

"Dang!" There was a crisp metal impact, sparks splashed everywhere.

"Shi Lang! What do you want to do?!"

"Baga! How dare you do this to the young master!"

Several guards around His Royal Highness Fu Songmaru reprimanded Shi Lang for his behavior, but it was because Shi Lang blocked him with a short spear when His Royal Highness Fu Song Maru drew a dagger and tried to fight Li Huamei just now. With too much force, the short knife in His Royal Highness Fukumatsumaru's hand was shaken out of his hand, and there were bursts of pain in the hand holding the knife.

Xiao Huamei's short knife over there was also caught by a strange thing, the short knife lingered in Huamei's hands as if cast in an iron mountain.

"who are you?"

Xiao Huamei looked curiously at the strange thing wrapped around the knife. It was a whisk, and its owner was a Taoist nun standing in the crowd watching the excitement.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Little benefactor, your behavior is a bit excessive."

The Taoist nun looked at Xiao Huamei in front of her with a slightly sullen look on her face.

"Master. You have seen it too. It was this guy who first said he was going to smash our house and tear up our flag, so I stopped him. And he was the one who drew the knife first."

Originally, the nun came late, and when she arrived, she happened to watch the scene where Xiao Huamei and His Highness Fukumatsumaru drew their swords at each other, and what happened before was indeed unknown.Seeing Yuxue's cuteness and a bit of heroism, Xiao Huamei explained the reason aggrieved, and immediately changed her position.

"My father also told me that if people don't attack me, I won't attack, but if people attack me, I will!"

I felt the expression of the Taoist nun in front of me change.Xiao Huamei immediately snuggled up to the nun and explained her reasons clearly.

But the atmosphere in front of him seemed to be more tense.

Lin Miao, the sentry officer of the Guards Battalion, ordered the soldiers of the Guards Battalion and the soldiers of the South China Army present, "You bastard! A bunch of shovels! Missy was almost hacked, and you didn't respond!"

"Brothers, the young commander-in-chief is being bullied, copy him!"

Zheng Zhilong's brother, Zheng Cai, also ordered the soldiers of Zheng's army to pick up their weapons, and the two sides immediately confronted each other, seeing a fire in sight.

Poor Shi Lang was caught between two camps.Dilemma.

Barracks on Nan'ao Island.It was originally built to accommodate the 3000 sailors here, but time has passed and the situation has changed, and it was forced by the cruel reality of officers at all levels eating empty quotas and owed food and salaries.Originally a barracks for 500 people.There are less than [-] left.

The rest of the food and ships were probably used by military officers at all levels to support their families and engage in maritime trade.Only four or five hundred old and weak soldiers were left lazily basking in the sun in the dilapidated barracks to pass the time.

This place is now being requisitioned by the guards honestly and unceremoniously, as a prisoner-of-war camp to hold thousands of prisoners from Liu Laoxiang, Li Guozhu and other ministries.And the nearly three hundred Dutch captives.

Groups of captives were imprisoned in the open space of the barracks and on the school field in groups of about a hundred.Their shivering bodies were huddled together in the winter sun.The terrified eyes are full of fear and expectation for the future fate.

Suddenly, a deadly scent approached from far away, making these people who hadn't eaten water all day and night involuntarily look around, looking for the source of this deadly scent.

"Damn! Even if I want to be the leader of Liuyang, I have to have a full meal before going on the road!"

Hundreds of residents of the island, escorted by soldiers of the South Central Army, acted as civilian husbands carrying dozens of huge bamboo baskets, wooden barrels and other containers. The scent of death was spread all the way by this small team.

Small commotions erupted in the dark group of prisoners, some were pushing forward desperately, some were sobbing softly.

"Is this really our last meal?"

The commotion was quickly suppressed by the soldiers from the Right Battalion of the Xuanwu Camp who were present at the scene, using spear shafts and musket butts. In the face of powerful violence, these people had no choice but to wait for their fate to be judged.

"Our Nanzhong Army has always been based on the navy. Although you resist the army, the crime is unforgivable, but my general has the virtue of living and can't bear to kill more. Therefore, I will give you a road to reform."

"The rice is for those who are willing to join the navy of the South China Army! It's not very good, rice, salted fish stew, seaweed egg drop soup, just let go of your stomach and eat enough!"

The words of Huang Chuan, the captain of the brig and the sentry officer of the Naval Division of the South China Army, only caused a slight disturbance. Faced with the sudden good news, these prisoners still did not dare to believe it.

A Dutch prisoner started yelling in the crowd, and they didn't know what he was talking about.

"Dutch? You red-haired barbarians don't do business well, and you dare to invade our Ming border, so you are not so kind to you! They will all be incorporated into our army to redeem themselves!"

More than 200 Dutch prisoners were pulled out from the crowd, and their uniforms of the Dutch East India Company were forcibly stripped off. Some soldiers brought several buckets of water and poured them from head to toe. After rinsing, I threw away the uniform of the South China Army, including the fat jacket and hemp shoes.After registering the name and appearance and pressing the fingerprints of the bucket, he can be regarded as a member of the Navy of the South China Army.

Seeing that these crimes were far greater than their own, the red-haired barbarians squatted aside and ate and drank, and the sailors and soldiers of Liu Xiang's army also began to shout, "I am willing! I am willing!"

"I want to eat! I want to eat!"

Shouts came and went.

Soon, the entire barracks was filled with the sound of grunting and pulling food into their mouths one after another.The sound was so loud and decibel that Chu Tianlei outside the wall of the barracks and He Kaishan, the battalion officer of the Right Battalion, could hear it clearly.

"My lord, this method is really a clever plan. First starve for a day and a night, and then put a good meal in front of you, even a man of iron will not be able to withstand a word of hunger!"

"These more than 3000 people are also a great help to our navy and Xuanwu battalion. However, what my lord means, we need to carefully screen them. Those old bandits who have accumulated blood and debts in their hands need to be investigated. , Ming Zhengdian punishment is the only thing. What our South China Army wants are soldiers, not bandits who kill people like hemp."

Inside the Deputy Commander's Mansion.

The deputy general of Nan'ao was full of envy.I feel extremely regretful.

If it wasn't for empty pay, the business was too ruthless. In order to support the 3000 lucky boats and [-] family members under him, a [-]-person deputy commander-in-chief battalion was reduced to only a few hundred people.Today, you can also discuss with Li and Zheng in the lobby how to divide the spoils.

Shou Han and Zheng Zhilong who met for the first time, under the recommendation of Zhi Bao and others, immediately became as close as brothers who had been separated for many years.

You call me Brother Fei Huang, and I will call you Brother Shou Han.

Facing Zheng Zhilong, Shou Han generously handed over the three captured plywood boats to him, and Zheng Zhilong will go to reward the adults in Fujian, except for these three boats.There are nearly a hundred large and small artillery pieces.As a spoil of war, it was also given to Zheng Zhilong.

"The large and small cannons on the sunken ship have to be salvaged by Fei Huang's subordinates."

With these ship guns.Zheng Zhilong will naturally recruit people to imitate.Such an affectation of Shou Han.It is indeed of great benefit to Zheng Zhilong's strength expansion.What's more, those plywood boats can also be used to report military exploits.

Speaking of military exploits.Shou Han gave another big gift to Zheng Zhilong.

"Come on! Bring it up!"

Each of the six soldiers held a wooden tray, covered with red silk, with different heights and heights, and it was unknown what was contained underneath.

"Ah! Liu Laoxiang!"

As the soldiers removed the red silk, the person who caught people's eyes on the wooden plate was the senior at sea, whose strength was no less than that of Zheng Zhilong and Li Dan's Liu Xiang!It is the leader of the pirates who, together with the Dutch, fought against Zheng Zhilong and harassed the coast of Fujian this time!

This head is undoubtedly Liu Xiang.Many of Zheng Zhilong's subordinates present, including the Zhilong, Zhihu, and Zhibao brothers, have dealt with him before, and this cannot be faked!

The other two are the heads of Liu Jiu, the adopted son of Liu Xiang, and Li Guozhu, the son of Li Dan.In the other three wooden trays are the identity certificates of the three people, their personal soldiers and the personal confessions of the three people.

"These three people were captured by me in the sea off Nan'ao Island. They intended to bribe them with gold and silver goods in order to save their lives. Liu Xiang and his son not only revealed the location of the property they hid, but also revealed the location of the treasures they had hidden, and they also revealed the location of the sea seniors from the Wu Ping and Lin Feng periods. Find out where the treasures are hidden on Nan'ao Island, just to save your life."

Shou Han said it calmly, and everyone below Zhibao was dumbfounded, and the deputy general of Nan'ao was even more slanderous: "It's really more terrible to ask for money! They handed over all the gold and silver, and you cut them off. Your head is really not kind!"

However, everyone's interest in the hidden treasures of the sea giants of the past dynasties is still far greater than the criticism of Li Shouhan's ignorance of the hidden rules of morality and morality.

"This is Liu Xiang's confession. Brother Feihuang can order someone to search for one or two on Nan'ao Island in his spare time. It can be regarded as a little help for the military funds spent by Brother Feihuang on this expedition."

Shou Han handed a thick stack of confessions to the soldiers, and signaled the soldiers to hand them over to Zhilong's subordinates. Zhilong glanced at it from the corner of his eyes, and saw that there were fingerprints of buckets on every page. Presumably it will not be fake.

This is handing over the hidden treasures on Nan'ao Island to Zheng Zhilong!

Hearing these words, the deputy general of Nan'ao couldn't help but shine a golden light in front of his eyes.

He has been stationed here for a long time, and he is quite familiar with the stories and legends of this island. Since the Jiajing period, there have been Wu Ping, Lin Feng, Lin Daoqian, Zeng Yiben and other famous sea tycoons here. Wu Ping alone left two place names on the island, Treasure Island and Wuping Village.

According to folklore, in the past, in the face of the governors Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou who came to suppress under the order of the imperial court, Wu Ping divided the robbed gold and silver into 18 altars for the convenience of escape and the capital for a comeback. In different places, there are enigmatic ballads left behind: "The rising water cannot submerge, and the water recedes three feet." 'The location of the treasure is known only to his sister besides himself.Once, Wu Ping asked his sister with a smile: "Once the cottage is destroyed, do you want to run away with me or stay and take care of the gold and silver?" ’ My sister said: ‘I would like to stay and take care of the gold and silver. 'Wu Ping was very displeased.

When the Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou coalition forces encircled and suppressed Wu Pingzhai by land and water, Wu Ping, seeing that the situation was over, fled to the seaside and killed his sister who was guarding the 18 altars of gold and silver. The boat fled out to sea.

Unexpectedly, the secret of this hidden treasure has been passed down from generation to generation in the mouths of the robbers!And today it has become the capital Liu Xiang is trying to use to buy his life, what a pity.He didn't look at the almanac when he went out, but met Li Shouhan, who was such a jerk!Thinking about Wu Ping, when he confronted Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang who are known as Yu Long Qihu, there were already more than ten thousand people and four hundred ships. How could his gold reserves be just eighteen altars of gold and silver?

Shou Han said so, Zhilong naturally knows the elegant meaning by listening to the string songs, and naturally wants to repay.

"Brother Shouhan is so loving, but he is called Feihuang, but he is ashamed of his disrespect! How do you think you should write the title of the victory in this naval battle? In Feihuang's meaning, it is a waste of pen and ink. For the Nanzhong Army Brothers, show off your military exploits!"

"No! No! Brother Feihuang has misunderstood the meaning of defending the Han! From my point of view. When you are performing military exploits, please remember that our Nanzhong Army has never been here!"

ah!This made the officers and generals of the Ming army present in an uproar.I've only heard of someone who took the credit and blamed it, but I've never seen someone who handed over his bloody battle to others.

"This. It doesn't make sense! Master Zou of Futai already knew that our army was assisted by friendly troops in the process of chasing the red-haired Niyi. But now..."

"Surely there is assistance from friendly troops! Isn't this the deputy general of Nan'ao Island here? He led his men to intercept the Niyi fleet. He took the arrow against the stone, defied the artillery fire, and led his troops to shout and fight fiercely in the rain of cannons. They clashed and killed thieves. Dozens of Niyi's heads have been captured."

Hearing this made the two lieutenants of Nan'ao Island, who were not as high-ranking and senior-ranked as their own, have the urge to kneel down and call Shou Han his own father!

This is casually throwing a huge achievement on his own head!

Zheng Zhilong cast a contemptuous glance at the lucky guy who picked up a rotten piece of paper from the ground and found it was a 7000 million lottery jackpot, "General Li values ​​you very much, why don't you thank General Li well?"

Zheng Zhilong's tone of voice and attitude, if seen by the censors of the imperial court, would have to be greatly impeached, nothing else, a mere guerrilla general who has just been recruited, speaking to the dignified deputy commander of the court is like scolding a servant, this Got it?Where is the court system?

However, this is an era of power and influence.The patriarch of Donglin was just a registered official giving lectures in Wuxi, so what right did he have to decide the major policies of the imperial court?But, he did it!Without him, strength ears!

How can the deputy general of Nan'ao Island, who has only [-] available soldiers, face Li Shouhan and Zheng Zhilong's tens of thousands of troops?These troops on Nan'ao Island alone are enough to make the lieutenant general die several times, so what ability can they turn against the two?Moreover, he casually threw a piece of military exploits in front of him so generously, if he didn't know what was good and what was wrong, he would really be looking for his own death!

"That's what brother Shou Han said. Our army and the defenders of Nan'ao Island will work together to wipe out the fleeing enemy. As for how to word it, I will study it with the brothers from Nan'ao Island later. Also, on this Nan'ao Island, Liu Xiang and the others' treasure must be discovered together with the lieutenant general!"

The deputy general suddenly felt that he was really prosperous in the past, not only was he expected to be promoted, but he was also expected to make a fortune soon.Even giving him one percent of the hidden treasures of the pirate leaders of all ages would be an astonishing amount.

"However, during this campaign against the barbarians, Zhilong still accepted the favor of the brothers of the Nanzhong Army. In the past, the Shouhan brothers sold high-quality gunpowder, wrought iron, and military weapons at low prices. Today, they are not afraid of hardships and travel thousands of miles. Come to help. If Zhilong let Brother Shouhan go back like this, I am afraid that firstly, someone will laugh at Zhilong for not knowing how to get along with friends, and secondly, it will be detrimental to Brother Shouhan's prestige."

The meaning of the words is very straightforward, I, Zheng Zhilong, already owe you a lot of favors, so how should I repay these favors?If I don't pay back, people outside will laugh at me, and I'm going to mess around in the rivers and lakes!If you go back empty-handed like this, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to your subordinates.

Speaking of this, Zhilong's eyes did not blink, staring at Shou Han's face with radiance, the hall was full of laughter and laughter just now, and the atmosphere immediately became very subtle and tense, the man who was looking forward to whether he would Because of the exploits in this battle, he was promoted to the rank of chief soldier, or a lieutenant general who gave himself the title of governor, suddenly felt like he was in an ice cellar.

Facing Zhilong's fierce eyes like cannons, Shou Han didn't take it seriously at all, took a sip from his teacup, cleared his throat, "Of course I won't be polite to Brother Fei Huang, I also want to go to Fei Huang." Brother Huang asked for some advice, but..."

Just as he was about to speak, a sentry officer from the Zheng family army and a guard battalion officer from the South China Army rushed in, looking at each other with guarded eyes.

"Nonsense! Tell them, don't mess around! If anyone dares to mess around, I don't care who he is, he will be punished by military law!"

Zheng Zhilong heard the sentry officer whisper a few words in his ear, his face immediately changed color, and he reprimanded in a low voice.

"Zhibao! You go and deal with it, and bring me that troublesome little thing!"

Zheng Zhibao obeyed his elder brother's military order, and hurriedly got up and went out with the sentry officer to deal with the crisis caused by the verbal conflict between the two young bosses.

"You go too, tell Chu Tianlei and the others to be polite and courteous to Zheng's brothers. Also, bring Erya here."

Shou Han also loudly ordered the team officer who came to report.

Not long after, there was a commotion outside the deputy general's mansion, which stopped suddenly when it reached the gate, and two teams of people rushed in from outside the mansion gate.The same color of the military uniforms of the Ming Dynasty, the same race of people with mixed skin colors.Those who wore yellow and red identification belts belonged to the troops of the South Central Army, and those who did not wear this identification belt were naturally soldiers of the Zheng family army.

Guarded by their own soldiers in the crowd were the two people who caused the accident this time, Li Huamei and His Royal Highness Fu Songmaru, and Shi Lang was escorted to Zheng Zhilong by several Zheng family soldiers who twisted his arms tightly. (To be continued..)
