Chapter 784 The Toad

Wang Xian arrived in Suzhou the next morning. Apart from Zhou Yong and the monks, Erhei, Long Wu and others came with him.Ling Xiao didn't clamor to come this time, but just told him that he would definitely protect his wife and children.Obviously, after this incident, Lingxiao girl has grown up completely...

As soon as they arrived in Suzhou, they met with Deng Xiaoxian. Deng Xiaoxian brought bad news——Ji Gang and others had already sailed from Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture!They actually built the ship and prepared the supplies a long time ago, preparing for the arrival of this day.

"What, went to sea?" Erhei stared at his one eye, and said frantically, "Where can I find this?!"

"They won't go far!" Wang Xian said firmly: "Otherwise, why arrest my family members?!"

Everyone thought so too.Before Ji Gang left, he deliberately went back to Beijing to arrest Wang Xian's family members. He obviously hated Wang Xian to death and must seek revenge from him before he left.Before seeing Wang Xian, Ji Gang definitely wouldn't just leave like this!
"Our analysis is also the same," Deng Xiaoxian agreed with Wang Xian: "We think that the reason why Ji Gang and the others went out to sea was because they were worried about being chased by the government, so they had to escape to the sea first. But before they settled their accounts with the adults, they probably wouldn't Go far away, probably hiding on an island near the sea, waiting for the adults to find them!"

"That makes sense." Wang Xian nodded and said coldly, "Then we will do what he wishes and find them!"

"I'm already looking for it, but the strength of our Fusi in Beizhen is not at sea," Deng Xiaoxian sighed, "It's very difficult to find."

"Yes." Master Long Wu nodded and said, "There are thousands of islands along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there are hundreds of them that can be inhabited. If we rely on ourselves to find them, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Who can I ask for help?Everyone lost their minds.

Wang Xian pondered for a moment, stood up and said, "You guys rest first, I'll go out for a while."

"My lord, who did you think of asking for help?" Everyone's expressions lifted.

Wang Xian nodded, but in fact he had no idea.

.

Xugong Island, located a hundred miles southwest of Shanghai County, is hidden in the archipelago and is very inconspicuous.

The shape of the island is very unique, with two opposite hills squeezed together to form a huge Y-shape.The two hills are like two long arms, embracing a flat and wide harbor.On the back is a cliff more than ten meters high!

Take a closer look, there is a beacon tower built on the top of the mountain, and dozens of large and small warships are still parked in the harbor in the valley!This is actually a very good military port!

In fact, the origin of the name of Xugong Island is inextricably linked to the founding first general of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da, Duke of Wei!When Xu Da led his army into the sea to suppress Japanese pirates, he took a fancy to this deserted island at that time, set up a post and built a military port on the island as an outpost to attack Japanese pirates.This is where everything on this island comes into being. To commemorate Xu Da, people named this island Xugong Island, and built a Xugong Temple on the island, which has continued to burn incense.

In the Yongle Dynasty, in front of the unprecedentedly powerful navy of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese pirates were completely extinct, the use of the place was gone, and the army also withdrew. Only some fishermen refused to leave and continued to fish on the island for a living.Although the life is poor, but the advantage is that there is no interference from the government, but it is also free.

However, the quiet life of the islanders was completely broken three days ago when a huge fleet broke into Xugong Island and moored at the pier.Countless well-dressed men got off the boat and took over the entire island in a blink of an eye.The islanders were driven out of their residences, gathered in the military camp, forced to wash and cook for the army, and were beaten or even killed if they disobeyed a little!
The life of the islanders suddenly became dark, and they did not know when it would end.

Not only the islanders, these uninvited guests are also in the same state of mind!They are Ji Gang's subordinates who escaped from Shanghai County.There are at least 6 to 6000 Jinyiwei who are willing to go into exile with Ji Gang, that is, these five or six thousand die-hard brothers.The rest escaped separately.Ji Gang didn't care anymore, and he couldn't control it either. In fact, the five or six thousand people at the moment were overwhelming him.

Leaving the prosperous and prosperous Daming, fleeing to this island full of water, and this is the first step on the road to escape, how can this be accepted by the Jinyiwei soldiers who are used to domineering?
Right now, they live in the abandoned barracks, those barracks that have been in disrepair for a long time, the doors and windows have long disappeared, and the roof is full of skylight. At night, the sea breeze howls, freezing the officers and soldiers into popsicles.What's even more difficult is that I don't have a stutter. Two meals a day are rice soup that is so cool that I can't get enough between my teeth...

Now it’s time to eat again. There are several large pots on the open space in front of the barracks. The officers and soldiers are holding broken bowls around the pot. You are fighting to scoop up the rice soup. They all want to get some thick rice soup, but there is only so much in total. Rice grains, if you scoop them up, they will disappear, and friction will be born from this.Originally falling from the sky to the ground, the officers and soldiers were all upset. Is there any reason not to fight now?

So the meal turned into a fight, first a few people fought, and soon turned into a group fight, knocking over the cauldron of rice soup, scalding more than a dozen officers and soldiers in the hot soup, screaming and rolling all over the floor.

The screams alarmed Ji Gang and others in the Chinese military camp. Ji Gang stood in front of the window, watching the fight with cold eyes.Yuan Jiang on the side couldn't hold back his face, and scolded Xu Yingxian: "What are you doing in a daze, let them stop!"

"Hey." Xu Yingxian was about to go out, but Ji Gang said coldly: "No, let them beat them to death, one death will save one ration, and ten deaths will save ten rations!"

"This..." Xu Yingxian couldn't tell whether Ji Gang was angry or serious, so he looked at Yuan Jiang for help.Yuan Jiang sighed and waved his hand to signal Xu Ying to go out first.After he left, Yuan Jiang said softly: "Captain, brothers are unhappy, it is inevitable that you will become a little angry..."

"I'm not happy yet!" Ji Gang raised his voice and roared, "Zhu Gaoxu is an idiot, if he hadn't insisted on doing it in advance, how could we have fallen into such a situation!"

"Hey..." Yuan Jiangxin said, everything you say now is an afterthought.Let me say something useful. "Yes. But it's useless to blame him now. We have to think about our next step. There are so many brothers waiting for you to make up your mind."

"Don't worry, I have already planned a retreat." Ji Gang snorted and said, "From the day Chen Ying was imprisoned by Zhu Di, I knew that I would have that day too, so these years, Mr. Zhuang and I have been planning a retreat. In case the gamble fails, the brothers also have a place to go."

"It turns out that the governor has plans!" Yuan Jiang suddenly said, "I said, why are there so many warships waiting for us!"

"That's right!" Ji Gang nodded, and regained a bit of his former arrogance: "I will tell you today, there are people from Zheng He's voyage to the West. Over the years, I have already figured out the Nanyang area. Yes, there are many island countries on the ocean over there, and the products are very rich, and we can’t go hungry without farming. We can go there and seize a country to become kings and hegemony!"

"That's a good relationship!" Yuan Jiang's expression brightened. He couldn't be the king and hegemony in Daming, and enjoy it in an overseas island country, and his life was not in vain.He tightened his expression again and said, "However, are we enough?"

"Hahaha, you don't understand now." Ji Gang said with a strange smile: "Those indigenous residents of the Nanyang island countries are ignorant, weak and deceitful. If it weren't for the fear of attracting attention, our five or six thousand people would be enough to overwhelm them." The whole of Nanyang has been defeated!"

"Great!" Yuan Jiang was very excited and said excitedly, "Brothers must be excited when they know the news!"

"I planned to settle the score with Wang Xian, and then tell the brothers." Ji Gang nodded and said: "But looking at it like this, let's talk now..."

"En." Yuan Jiang nodded heavily and said: "The governor is wise!" After thinking about it, he asked for instructions: "When will we go to Nanyang, the subordinates have to tell the brothers about the general date."

"Tell them, let's go after killing Wang Xian!" Ji Gang clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "I want to sacrifice Wang Xian's head to the flag!"

"Yes..." Yuan Jiang hesitated, and asked uncertainly, "Wang Xian...will he come?"

"Of course!" Ji Gang resolutely said: "I have sent him a message that he must come to see me within five days, and if I come one day late, I will kill his family!" He said with a sinister smile: "The biggest weakness of that kid is It’s mother-in-law, mother-in-law, she will definitely come here like crazy after hearing about it!”

"He was able to rush to Songjiang, how did he find this Xugong Island?" Yuan Jiangdu worried for Wang Xian: "It's too difficult to find such an island in the sea."

"That's what he worries about." Ji Gang smiled cruelly: "In short, if he is less than a day away, I will kill one of his relatives. After killing four, I will send his head back, and we will fly away and make him regret for the rest of his life. Go!" Having said that, Ji Gang still felt that there was a fly in the ointment, and it would be much more fun if Wang Xian's wife and children, as well as Zhu Zhanji's little lover, were captured.

"Four... isn't it five people?" Yuan Jiang was in charge of guarding the five hostages. Hearing Ji Gang said it was four people, he was taken aback and said, "Aren't you going to kill Xu Miaojin?"

"Don't kill me." Ji Gang shook his head and said, "She has nothing to do with Wang Xian. I arrested her to avenge Zhu Di!" When he mentioned Xu Miaojin, his eyes shot lewd light and said: "When the country of Nanyang is seized, I will Let her be my queen!" I couldn't help laughing loudly and said, "The woman that Zhu Di couldn't get has become my bride, what a joy!"

Yuan Jiang also became interested, and laughed with Ji Gang and said, "Why should the governor wait until then? After all, the situation in Nanyang is hard to say. It may be two or three years before we achieve our goal. Why would the governor let us go?" The beauty waits for nothing?" He said with a chuckle and said, "Since ancient times, the founding kings have not waited until the founding of the country to marry the queen. Why didn't the governor marry her first?"

"It makes sense." Ji Gang nodded, looked at Yuan Jiang approvingly, and said, "It's my obsession. Then let's see what happens."

"Then tomorrow!" Yuan Jiang said without thinking.
