On the fifth day of the people's siege of Cao Guogong, Cao Guogong Li Jinglong ordered to stop the collection of sea ships, and all the confiscated sea ships were returned.
He felt that this was Li Jinglong's compromise and concession to the local forces in Zhejiang and Fujian, and that it was at the expense of the prestige of the imperial court and the interests of the imperial court in exchange for the support of the local government and the army and the people in Zhejiang and Fujian to suppress his bandits, so he rushed back from Hangzhou Wei in a very angry manner, and he didn't care that Li Jinglong was the grandfather of the first country of the dynasty, the crown prince and the prince, and the governor of the left army.
Li Jinglong knew that he was wrong, and at first he responded with a smile on his face, but Tie Xuan did not give up, and fought the basis of reason, and only wanted Li Jingrong to strictly implement the Jinghai Eight Strategies, and vowed not to give up until the goal was achieved. insisted on arguing from Cao Guogong's nap time to the prince's dinner time, which made Li Jinglong completely noisy.
"Fork it out, fork him out, this disgusting thing that doesn't know what to do" Li Jinglong flicked his sleeves viciously, and scolded Tie Xuan with a blue face at the back of Tie Xuan who was forced out.
"Grandpa Guo, with such a fool, you have to be angry, come, Grandpa Guo hurry up and take a sip of tea to dissipate your anger."
"Grandpa Guo, sit down, I'll knock your legs."
Baoqin and Siqi, two little girls like flowers and jade, hurried over, said delicately, smiled with eyebrows, pressed Li Jinglong on the chair, one squatted down to beat his legs, and the other picked up the cup and blew it with a small mouth, feeding him tea.
Li Jinglong closed his eyes comfortably, and thought beautifully: "Now that the military spirit has settled down, after my rectification, the morale has also been improved, the coastal defense of the East China Sea is already complete, the morale is both boosted, and there is the Shuangyu Haikou as the internal response, not to say that you can go to sea to fight, when the time comes, I will raze the Chumi Gang, it is best to capture Chen Zuyisheng who was arrested by the emperor with a reward, and on the way back, I will destroy the Shuangyu Gang again, Jingqing Donghai, and return to Beijing with the power of Pingkou, the emperor values me very much, and the imperial grandson and I have always been good friends, the head of this military minister, Maybe I will move from the Zhongshan Mansion to my Cao Guo Mansion. ” Li Jinglong smiled beautifully and quickly, Zhang, Quan, Funing and other local sailors received Li Jinglong's military order, and went to sea one after another, stopping the private merchant ships going south and north, and seized three large ships from the north and south, two of which were Chen Zuyi's merchant ships, and the goods of these two ships were more miscellaneous, because Chen Zuyi only did no business, leaving the port empty, grabbing all the way, grabbing how many goods in Shuangyu and selling as many goods, and then grabbing back all the way, so the goods were varied.
Another big ship was the Fuzhou smuggling merchant ship, which was full of ordinary raw silk and was captured by the sailors, and the entire escort team led by Koshiro and Aoki Weiyang, as well as the Fuzhou smuggling merchant Lin Asi.
Immediately after that, Li Jinglong personally commanded the officers and men of the Hangzhou Guarding Water Division, sent troops to Shuangyu Island, and Shuangyu Island gathered troops, held the two strong walls of the north and south exits, and confronted the officers and men for three days and three nights.
At the southern foot of Shuangyu Island, the big boss Xu Hu and the second boss Lei Xiaoxi inspected a wolf defensive position, and the dead and wounded men were being supported by others, and they were tired and retreated to the inner island.
Lei Xiaoxi said with a heavy face: "The officers and soldiers are menacing, fortunately because of the rainstorm last night, otherwise, it is difficult to say whether we can hold Shuangyu Island." ” Xu Hu said: "With only the officers and soldiers, it is not a problem for us to hold Shuangyu, what I am worried about is" He looked to the northeast and said in a deep voice: "I'm worried that the Chumi Gang will take advantage of the fire to rob, and when the officers and soldiers leave, they will come. ” Lei Xiaoxi hummed and didn't speak.
Xu Hu walked silently for a while, stopped and said, "Second brother, you go to Nanji Island and meet Xiao Chu." ” Lei Xiaoxi was stunned and asked, "See what he does" Xu Hu said: "Negotiate with them and take refuge in Chen Zuyi." ” Lei Xiaoxi's eyes flashed: "Big boss, you have decided" "Not bad" Lei Xiaoxi looked around and suddenly said, "Sister, why haven't you seen her all the time?"
Xu Hu said lightly: "The government has suddenly strengthened coastal defense, and we have a lot of payments that have not yet had time to be recovered, so I asked Ah Mei to go to the other side to collect the money, and in addition, buy some rice back by the way, in case of emergency."
You don't have to worry about her, as long as I agree, she won't object. ” Lei Xiaoxi said with a smile: "That is, on this island, Ah Mei is only one person who serves the big boss, even if she doesn't accept it, she can't help it."
Okay, I'll go to sea in a while, go to Nanji Island, what are the conditions for us?"
Xu Hu said: "You see Xiao Chu, make an appointment with him, and I will designate a separate island at the location, and then we will each send three three-masted ships to meet and negotiate on the island." ” Lei Xiaoxi showed a slightly displeased look, and reluctantly responded: "Okay, I'll go and prepare." ” After Lei Xiaoxi's ship went to sea, Xu Hu appeared in the cave of the Turtle Back Cliff, most of the caves on this mountain are deep and long, even if the pirates have lived on this island for many years, they may not all explore clearly, relatively speaking, the cave of the Turtle Back Cliff is more secret, it is under the protruding cliff, more than two zhang high from the top of the cliff, and then down is the sharp reef under dozens of zhang, the tide is surging in the reef thicket, once it falls, there is no physiology.
And went down the rope and drilled into this cave that was not very big, but it was very spacious, the size of a house and a half, so since the discovery of this cave when I was a child, this secret was hidden by Xu Hu and Su Ying and regarded it as a secret location.
"The big boss."
Su Ying took a hand and pulled Xu Hu into the cave: "How is it, is Lei Er's reliable?"
Xu Hu shook his head and said solemnly: "I don't know yet, I don't want him to really eat inside and out."
After all, they have been brothers for many years, not to mention, our Shuangyu Island is the strongest with his strength, if he really has an external heart, even if we detect it in time" Speaking of this, seeing Xia Xun coming up, Xu Hu changed the topic: "I have already asked the second master to go to see Xiao Chu, and when he brings back the news, he will negotiate with Xiao Chu, you live here with peace of mind first, three meals a day, will be sent to you by Ah Mei's henchmen, you can rest assured, this is Ah Mei's mountain, you are absolutely safe to live here, and when I have a quasi-letter here, you will get in touch with Li Jinglong." ” Xia Xun nodded, and Xu Hu said uneasily: "Are you sure he won't cross the river and tear down the bridge?"
Xia Xun smiled and said: "I'm not sure that Li Jinglong will not cross the river and demolish the bridge, but according to our plan, he doesn't have time to do anything else, if Shuangyu Island and Chen Zuyi can only choose one, do you think he will choose Shuangyu Island, which will never give him the icing on the cake, or Chen Zuyi, who is worth 500,000 yuan."
Xu Hu and the Chumi Gang began difficult negotiations, Xu Hu's condition was that he could agree to join the gang, and he could give up Shuangyu Island as an outpost base for the sea king Chen Zuyi's soldiers and grain, but the more than 10,000 brothers of the Shuangyu Gang and their families must be properly resettled, and the place he wants is Chenqian Island, and this is the territory of the Chumi Gang.
At that time, the sea trade, the trade with the Ming Dynasty was the largest, but it was also an important trade object, the merchant ships from the South Seas would dock at Shuangyu, sell the spices, precious stones and other commodities of the South Seas, buy raw silk, porcelain, silk, etc., and then transfer to the book through Chenqian Island, trade again, sell a part of the goods, in exchange for some platinum, or buy the lacquerware and other specialties of the book, and return straight to the South Seas.
According to this route, Chenqian Island is a way to make money in the East China Sea after Shuangyu Island, and although the Chumi Gang is mainly engaged in business, they are not willing to give up this road to make money, so they naturally will not agree.
After negotiating for half a month, Nanyang Chen Zuyi couldn't hold it back, and sent his new dog-headed military advisor Ling Potian, and under Ling Potian's mediation, the Chumi Gang reluctantly agreed to Xu Hu's conditions.
Xu Hu took Lei Xiaoxi as the outpost and began the great migration, women and children carried grain and grass to move first, and lived on Chenqian Island first, Xu Hu himself led the Chinese army, did the second step of evacuation and handover, and left some people at the same time, because whether it was Chumi Gang or Chen Zuyi's people, they were not familiar with the water conditions in the waters of Shuangyu and the large and small buildings and caves on the island.
This part of the people who stayed behind had to wait for Su Ying, the third master, to return from the shore, and then retreat with them.
Although Chenqian Island is the territory of the Chumi Gang, the foundation of the Chumi Gang is not in Chenqian Mountain, but on Nanlu Island.
The price they gave up Chen Qianshan was to get Ling Potian's promise that they would be in charge of Shuangyu Island, and this land of wealth fell into his hands, although Chen Zuyi himself also had to occupy most of it, the oil and water were still not smaller than Chen Qian Island, especially the Chumi Gang mainly did business, which was the closest to the Daming land, and they could go ashore at any time to grab money, food, and women, so the people of the Chumi Gang were very excited.
In order to occupy an advantage on Shuangyu Island, when Xu Hu led a large army of Shuangyu thieves to change guards with them and transfer to Chenqian Island, Xiao Chu and Xiaomi, the two husbands and wives, couldn't wait to lead their elite to Shuangyu Island.
Seeing this situation, Ling Potian did not dare to slack off, and on the one hand, he tried his best to fight for Chen Zuyi's territory and interests, and on the other hand, he sent someone to notify Chen Zuyi urgently.
At the beginning, the husband and wife thieves who forgot their interests were obviously obedient, but secretly instructed their people to seize as many houses and caves as possible, which was conducive to the wharf to go to sea, but soon Li Jinglong sent sailors to attack Shuangyu Island again, and the Chumi Gang, who were neither familiar with nor fully prepared in the defense of Shuangyu, suffered a big loss, although they kept Shuangyu Island, but suffered heavy casualties, so it was a little difficult to save their strength to fight against the imperial court sailors alone, so they had to reluctantly give up some territory and wait for Chen Zuyi to send someone to take over.
When Chen Zuyi received the news, he personally led ten warships and ran from Manraga to Shuangyu Island in the East China Sea to inspect his territory, and a trap was quietly dug To be continued:
