Win the Ding 1617

() Riding a sail with the north wind, Li Peilin's fleet arrived at the sea outside Hongji Harbor overnight. .. High-speed update

Looking out from the cabin, Li Peilin vaguely saw dozens of ships, large and small, moored in the sea outside Hongji Port.The punctured mast, the bullet-ridden hull, the sails that were burned to the point of being almost skeletonized, and the blood-soaked deck made people feel horrible at first glance.Around these ships, several blast ships are on duty, acting as escorts.

"My lord, that is Master Zhang's ship!" Li Peilin was surrounded by sharp-eyed people who had already seen the three-headed hell tiger made of gold and silver on the Gale Ship.

Numerous old and weak women and children were picked up from these boats by shuttle boats and transported to Hongji Port. From time to time, stretchers and injured people were carefully transported from the boats to the boats, with medical officers in white uniforms beside them. The guard is taking care of it.

There are also some carpenters and boatmen on the deck, using wooden boards to repair the parts of the ship that were damaged by shells.

What happened?

Everyone in Li Peilin's fleet, big and small, drew a question mark in their hearts.

"Play the semaphore! Ask the pier, is there anything unusual these days?" Captain Mai Chaodong couldn't help himself, and shouted loudly at the semaphore soldiers.

The semaphore soldiers waved the small flags in their hands and waved semaphores to the oncoming pilot boat, and the other side also responded with semaphores.

"Captain, answer that in the past few days, the pier and Ha Tinh City are fine, and the world is peaceful!"

Full of suspicion, people returned to Ha Tinh.

Li Peilin rode his own carriage and came straight to the gate of Li Shouhan's General's Mansion.

On the square outside the Yuanmen, where Li Shouhan clearly violated the rules, there were about a hundred people sitting or lying all over the place. Their faces were reddened by the sea breeze, and their eyes were somewhat narrowed, all of which indicated that these people were seeking life at sea. man.However, from the imposing manner on the face between the eyebrows, as well as the handle of the knife and the musket tightly held in the hand, it can be determined that these people are by no means kind.

In the signing room, Zhang Xiaohu and his two older brothers had stopped crying.

"Brother Zong, it's time for you to come back." Li Shouhan waved his hand to signal Li Peilin to sit down, "These two are Zhang Xiaohu's third and fourth brothers, and they brought their subordinates to join me. Su, in addition, ask Wang Tingqi to bring more people and give them a good physical examination. After drifting at sea for many days, their physical condition is not very good. Don't get any more diseases."

Zhang Xiaohu's two older brothers, the third brother Zhang Xiaoqi and the fourth brother Zhang Xiaobiao, all dressed in sackcloth, thankfully followed Li Peilin to resettle the old and small tribe, leaving Zhang Xiaohu and Li Shouhan talking in the signing room.

That night, Li Shouhan, Li Peilin, Fu Bo and others discussed in secret again in the signing room.

Shou Han has already received reports from the business affairs office of the Hanyuan firm and the statistics office of the general's mansion. Those old people who went to the governor's office in Guangxi were trapped in the inn. Liao Sanye tried to commit suicide several times, but luckily he was discovered in time and rescued. down.A group of old people are spending their days in distress.

"My lord, from my point of view, we should send competent personnel to the provincial capital at this time to pick up all the old folks, so as to reassure him, and then slowly plan."

"Well, it will be New Year's Eve in a few days. Tomorrow, I will invite Uncle Fu to pick up everyone, and I will also ask Uncle Fu to tell them that we should handle our own affairs! Please, Do not ask yourself!"

Forber nodded yes.

"Firstly, Uncle Fu is an old man in the mansion with high morals, and secondly, you are highly respected, and these old men are exactly, exactly," Shou Han couldn't find the right words to describe it.

Have a common language?Seems inappropriate.However, there seems to be no other vocabulary.

"Haha! They are all a group of old and immortal people." Uncle Fu was rather straightforward, and started to tease himself.

"Uncle Fu, you are only in your fifties, and you are in your prime. I will still rely on you. In the future, my son will also rely on you to teach me." Shou Han's words were partly a response to the situation, and partly It comes from the heart.

After saying these words, the corners of Fu Bo's eyes were a little moist. It is extremely rare to have such a relationship between the retainers and the lord.Li Peilin was quite gratified at the side, the lord was able to treat veterans with such affection and righteousness, and the future and future of the veterans could be imagined by these veterans.

"My lord," Li Peilin formally changed his name, "What happened to the Zhang family? Such a fierce battle?"

"Hey! It's also the Zhang family's misfortune!"

That day, after Zhang Xiaohu voted for Li Shouhan, he sent one of his captains, Luo Abing, back to report to his father and a group of family members.As a result, he was intercepted by the boss of the Zhang family on the way, and learned that his successor opponent, the sixth younger brother, was not dead. On the contrary, he also got a bigger and stronger backer. With a cruel heart, he killed Luo Abing and his subordinates. He was executed and his body was thrown into the sea.

While handling the cargo on Luo Abing's ship, the boss of the Zhang family had contact with the Portuguese in Macau.

"Franji people are divided into two countries, Spain and Portugal. One emperor, but this emperor is a Spaniard. The Portuguese have always refused to accept it and want to stand on their own. Not long ago, they learned that we had broken through Luzon and thought it was a good idea. Timing can consume the strength of the Spaniards in the east. However, their own power is not enough, so they hit it off with Boss Zhang, who is determined to sit on the throne of the master."

In the naval battle between Zhang Xiaohu and Zuo Xiaopeng, Zhang's ships, sailors, and soldiers suffered heavy losses.However, as far as the internal faction is concerned, the losses are all the direct descendants of Zhang Xiaohu and his father, as well as some ship owners who are closer to their father and son.As for Boss Zhang, this hill is mainly composed of himself, his two younger brothers, and a few other small boat owners.

In the past, the Zhang family was able to suppress all the hills because of Zhang Baoshan's strength. Now, his ships and manpower have suffered a lot, and Boss Zhang's power has begun to rise.

After getting [-] cannons, [-] muskets, [-] barrels of gunpowder from the Portuguese, [-] Spanish warships, and [-] gold coins in material and financial support, Boss Zhang decided to seize the throne!

On the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Boss Zhang held a banquet in his village, and invited all the leaders of the village, his old father, and brothers to drink.

Without the vulgar cup throwing as a sign, Boss Zhang's heart is more ruthless than anyone else.

When the banquet was in the middle of the night, he got up and left the banquet, making excuses with his cronies to make things easier.In banquets, this kind of behavior is also normal, and others don't care.The rest of the people continued to drink and sing.

"Boss, we are ready!" The fifth child of the Zhang family led two hundred musketeers to assemble in the secret room.

"Okay! The old man is heartless and eccentric, and he wants to leave the position to Xiaoliu's son! Don't blame me for being cruel! Do it!"

With an order, fifty musketeers went straight to the hall where the big boss and the ship owners had a banquet, and the rest went to deal with the bodyguards, guards and the like.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The musket roared, and the projectiles flew across. In terms of killing effect, it was far stronger than the knife and axe rushing out.Soon, the banquet hall was filled with blood.

After checking the dead bodies in the banquet hall, the boss of the Zhang family dispatched his descendants to capture and eliminate Zhang Baoshan's middle-level leaders and accept the captain's troops and belongings.

For a time, the entire pirate lair was filled with cries, shouts, groans, and screams, one after another, and the flames shot up into the sky.

However, with all the secrets, after repeatedly checking the corpses in the banquet hall, Boss Zhang suddenly found that his third brother Zhang Xiaoqi and fourth brother Zhang Xiaobiao were not inside the corpses.

It was a fluke that these two people were able to escape from birth. When Boss Zhang left the meeting with the excuse of convenience, these two really wanted to go for convenience.After coming out of the place of reincarnation of the five grains, the two were fascinated by several beautiful maids in Mr. Zhang's village. They couldn't move for a while, and began to tease.After being scolded a few times, the sound of gunfire in the banquet hall was also everywhere.

These two, sea battles, land battles, looting, business operations, etc. are all skills, except for escaping, which is one of the best among the sons of the Zhang family.Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately drew his sword and killed the maids who had seen them in front of him. Then, he piled up the corpses and made them into stepping feet, and the two of them walked over the wall.

It can be seen from this that the military qualities of the two are average.You can't even jump over the wall when you are running for your life!

As soon as your feet hit the ground, you are running wildly!Fleeing to the seaside, recruiting his own descendants, hoisting the sails, letting go of the anchor, and fled.

When it was dawn, the boss of the Zhang family found that his two precious brothers had escaped. Not only did he escape, but he also caused more than a dozen other small boat owners to follow him to the sea, causing a lot of losses to his troops and ships. .He couldn't help being furious, so he ordered his cronies to board the Spanish warship and set sail to pursue him at sea. He must see people alive and corpses dead.

After tracing all the way, they finally found that Zhang Lao San and Zhang Lao Si's fleet was fleeing westward in a hurry, so while speeding up to catch up, they sent someone to send a letter to Zhang Lao Da, asking for reinforcements to come.

Just like that, he ran away like crazy, and chased desperately at the same time, and there was a large group of ships following behind, and the sea was like a forest of sails and masts for a while.The white sails are like clouds, covering the sky.

In the eastern waters of Wanyan Island, Zhang's fleet finally caught up with his two younger brothers.

Without saying a word to each other, artillery fire greeted each other like hail.Zhang Lao San and Lao Si both understand that their elder brother can even kill his father, so what are our two younger brothers who are not on good terms with him on weekdays?Desperate!

However, the commanding ability and technical and tactical level of each other are really too different, just like the Chinese team and the German team are facing each other, basically being beaten by others.

I don't know if it's the luck of the two of them, or whether Zhang Baoshan died to protect the two precious sons. Just when Zhang Boss' fleet was about to surround Zhang Laosan and Zhang Laosan's fleet, Zhang Xiaohu's The fleet happened to have just passed Sunyan Island, and the vanguard ship discovered that two fleets were engaged in a naval battle.

The most terrible thing is that the banners of both sides are Zhang Baoshan's gang!

Zhang Xiaohu's heart sank suddenly, did something happen at home?He has lived in a pirate gang since he was a child, and he has seen a lot of internal strife, fires and other incidents. What happened at home?He didn't dare to think about it.

"Command! All ships ready for battle! Ready to fire!"

The three Gale Ships used their high speed and powerful firepower to quickly cut apart the two sides that were fighting. It didn't matter to the side that was being hunted down. Anyway, they were being tortured by artillery fire, while the side that was chasing down was very upset. Well, the fleet that came out of the oblique stab caused Boss Zhang to lose seven or eight ships after a round of artillery fire.

Soon, both the hunted and the hunted found out who the commander of the fleet was.

"It's Xiaohu! Yes! It's Xiaohu! We're saved!"

"Damn it! It's that damned little six! How did he appear here?!"

Regarding Zhang Xiaohu's maritime combat effectiveness and command ability, both sides agreed.Even Boss Zhang, who has been scolding his father for being unfair in his heart, thinks that if he sits on the throne of the plate and Zhang Xiaohu leads the navy, then the Zhang family gang will have to rise to a higher level.

Taking a vicious glance at the intense artillery fire on the blast ship, Boss Zhang gritted his teeth and ordered, "Turn the rudder and go back!"

The three brothers Zhang Xiaohu met at sea, but Zhang Lao San and Zhang Lao Si really met their relatives!It is unavoidable to cry to Zhang Xiaohu about the changes in the family. After hearing the crying complaints of his two elder brothers, Zhang Xiaohu couldn't help being furious, and ordered the fleet to pursue him.

Huang Liancheng, on the other hand, is more serious, "Master Commander, Brother Ling's troops have just gone through a great battle and are exhausted after a long journey. Do you want to go back to Hongji Port first, take a rest for a while, and ask the general for instructions before sending out troops?" ?”

Looking at the miserable situation of his two good-for-nothing brothers and his subordinates, Zhang Xiaohu knew that if he insisted on avenging his father, these people and the boat would be useless.Therefore, they had to order all to turn the rudder and return to Hongji Port bitterly.

Pastor Alfonso, who was preaching the Gospel of the Lord in Hon Gai, described this event in a letter to a friend far away.

"Under the reconnaissance of General Li's seemingly pervasive intelligence system, people finally learned about the recent situation of the pirate gang of the Zhang family in the distance. After learning that they might become the next target of General Li's powerful sea power, many The gang members who were half-dead chose to leave the members of the Zhang family one after another. Some of them chose to join General Li's navy at the invitation of General Zhang Xiaohu and his two elder brothers; It is reported that it should occupy more than one-third of the strength of the original gang. To the east, we will cooperate with the newly rising pirate who is active there, Li Dan. He is said to be our church member, and one of his subordinates is called Nicholas. Gasbart's is even more powerful. However, many people call him Nicholas Yiguan. He has been appreciated and reused by the leaders in recent battles with other pirate gangs, and now he is in contact with Japan The trade routes are under his control, and these people hope to get enough economic benefits under his hands."

"As for General Li himself, he believes that he has obtained at least two thousand skilled sailors, which will temporarily ease the contradiction between his strong shipbuilding capabilities and the serious shortage of sailors."

"And the current leader of the Zhang family gang is believed to have been hired by the Portuguese as an auxiliary part of their sea power."

"After the Chinese New Year, Zhang Xiaohu, who had been supplemented and strengthened, led his fleet to sea to fight against his elder brother. His reason was that his elder brother killed his father and his father in the process of seizing power. A few younger brothers."
