Li Xiu became the largest crocodile on the Yellow Sea. Within half a month, he and Liu Laoliu drove a five-masted ship and kept swimming in the Yellow Sea. Under Chen Laohu's poisonous eyes, Chen Hailong's family ship

No one was spared, relying on the powerful speed of the five-masted ship. Once discovered, no one could escape.

This time, Li Xiu did a better job. There was no such thing as shouting and capturing. There was one thing when he saw the Chen family's ships, and that was to greet them with cannonballs.

"Damn it, it must be Li Xiao's fault." Chen Hailong finally felt that something was wrong. His men did not return to Hong Kong for many days. You must know that he had dozens of elite warships. Even if they went out to rob, they would basically

I will return to Hong Kong in about ten days.

Firstly, it was to unload the stolen goods, and secondly, the pirates could relax after being at sea for such a long time. Now for twenty days in a row, no ship has returned to the port. This is something that has never happened before.

Today's Bohai and Yellow Sea are no longer dominated by the Chen family. After owning the five-masted ship, Li Xiao's naval strength reversed dramatically. The five-masted ship, coupled with Li Xiao's copper-cast long-barreled artillery, had a huge impact on the Bohai and Yellow Sea.

Any maritime force is a crushing force.

Only Li Xiao's five-masted ship could deal such a fatal blow to the Chen family's pirate ship.

"Master Marquis, what should we do now? We don't have any confidence in our ship. Could it be that something really happened at sea? Li Xiao really dares to do such a cruel thing? Didn't we stop all those who fled to Liaodong?" asked the question

The most important person is Hai Pili Shi Daxuan. Besides Chen Fu, he is the person Chen Hailong relies on most.

"He must have known about what we did in Shandong. There is no airtight wall in this world. But I didn't expect to know so quickly. Those useless things can't even block the road.

We originally planned to secretly fuck his mother during the battle between Li Xiao and the Tatars. God won't help his grandma!"

"Master Hou! It's not that my subordinates are saying bad things about you. That man named Qian is not a good person at first glance. He is using us as a gunman, and now Li Xiao is red and purple. I heard that a lot of business in the capital is done with Long Live.

We did it. Now we are in conflict with Li Xiao, and no one can speak for us."

"Hmph! At least they gave us thirty thousand taels of silver...!"

"We were promised 30,000 taels of silver, and we were able to rescue a ship, but it was only over 8,000 taels of silver. For more than 8,000 taels of silver, we fell out with Li Xiao. The warship lost now is probably worth only 20,000 taels of silver.

."

"What do you know? Thirty thousand taels of silver is a small amount, and the trade route with Jiangnan is a big amount. All along, our things have been sold to Jiangnan by others. The things that the brothers worked hard to rob, but the bulk is not

It all fell into other people's pockets.

With the trade route to Jiangnan, we can sell things directly to the wealthy people in Jiangnan. The reward will be one hundred thousand taels or hundreds of thousands taels."

"Then what will happen if Li Xiao comes to Shandong? We currently have only seven ships in Penglai Port. Three of them are still under repair. Li Xiao's five-masted ship is coming. It will level Penglai Port."

"Li Xiao came to Shandong? How is that possible? He is the commander-in-chief of Liaodong. This is Shandong! He left his post without permission and led troops across the border privately. When the time comes, I will read his book, and Mr. Qian will also invite people from the court

Let’s talk. He, Li Xiao, can’t eat and is walking around! Mr. Qian told me thoroughly that Cui Bingbu from the Ministry of War will support us.

Do you think I would act rashly without any support?"

"Uh...!" Shi Daxuan said nothing, he knew very well why Chen Hailong did what he did.

Except for what happened with Chen Fu, all the guys who followed Li Xiao out to fight in the past few years are extremely rich. The money is sent home every month. The military family members who were originally poor have now become rich people.

.

I'm used to it! When I get rich, I buy land and build big houses. The poorest family in the village has now become a landlord. Those who make slaves and maids look hot to people.

Chen Hailong belongs to the most envious group of people. You must know that there are more than 10,000 people who follow Li Xiao in Shandong. The amount of money sent every month is almost 10,000 taels. Such a large sum of money can be seen but not eaten.

In his mouth, Chen Hailong couldn't swallow this breath no matter what.

As for Chen Fu, it would be a lie to say that he is not angry. But it is absolutely impossible for Chen Hailong to fall out with Li Xiao over this matter. After all, even when Li Xiao became rich, he did not forget the admiral. The business between the two families,

Always done well.

And because of Chen Fu's incident, Li Xiao felt very guilty about Chen Hailong. In terms of business, he also gave the Chen family a lot of discounts. It can be said that the business between the Chen family and Li Xiao is a sure-fire business. There is no risk.

Being beaten in the rain is more comfortable than being robbed.

But Chen Hailong is a descendant of pirates, and the gene of robbery has been engraved deep in his soul. No matter how easy it is to get money, Chen Hailong always firmly believes that robbery is the ultimate means for him to realize the value of life. He likes this kind of acquisition from the bottom of his heart.

The way to wealth.

So Chen Hailong instructed his men to start devouring the property of those military families. After countless accomplices took away the small heads, Chen Hailong swallowed the big head very proudly.

Now revenge is coming, but Chen Hailong believes that due to the court system, it is impossible for Li Xiao to really attack Shandong. Even if you are capable of fighting, as long as you lead troops to Shandong, it will be considered a rebellion.

"Master Hou! It's not good, it's not good!" A member of the household suddenly rushed in in a hurry.

"Hmph! What's going on in such a panic?" Chen Hailong let out a dissatisfied "hum".

"Master Hou! The Japanese pirates are attacking on a large scale and have landed on Liugong Island. Our army was defeated in the battle and has now retreated to the shore."

"What? Japanese pirates are attacking in large numbers? How many are there?" Shi Daxuan asked hurriedly.

They had all seen the scenes of Japanese pirates wreaking havoc back then. Thinking about it now, they still feel frightened. Unexpectedly, at this time, Japanese pirates would actually start intruding on a large scale again.

"According to hundreds of households who escaped, there were probably thousands of Japanese pirates."

"Thousands of people? Where the hell did such a large number of Japanese pirates come from?"

"Those Japanese pirates were equipped with a large number of matchlock guns. They didn't look like pirates, but more like Japanese soldiers from the Japanese country."

"Grandma, raise the bill!" Chen Hailong's heart tightened.

At this time, Japanese soldiers suddenly came and occupied Liugong Island. This was a big deal. You must know that Liugong Island is an important coastal defense area. The pier above is a deep-water port that can berth large ships.

Once the Japanese soldiers occupy this place, they will have a reliable base. They can station troops on Liugong Island and then attack the Shandong coast. The Shandong coast is so vast that even a hundred thousand troops may not be able to defend it. He is Shandong

Admiral, if this thing really happens, the court will hold you accountable and you won't be able to just walk away with it.

In the past, thousands of Japanese pirates would not have been in Chen Hailong's eyes. After all, the Chen family had some wealth in the Bohai and Yellow Seas.

But today is different from the past. After Chen Hailong's warship went to sea, there was no news like a mud cow entering the sea. There were only a few ships in Penglai Port. At this time, not to mention thousands of Japanese soldiers, even a thousand Japanese soldiers could not defeat them.

"Dong, dong, dong!" The Jujiang drum sounded.

The famous officers who were having a good time and drinking in Jinan City gathered from all directions to the Admiral's Mansion in a panic. Even so, there were still more than a dozen officers who did not arrive. Either they could not find them, or they were drunk and unconscious.

Looking at the crooked helmets, they looked like his men who had just escaped from the battlefield. Chen Hailong was furious. Is this a bandit den or a Ming army officer? Can such an army still fight?

"Damn it, if the three-way drum fails to arrive, beheaded!" Chen Hailong has been having a hard time these past few days. Now he wants to kill people. Only killing people can calm down the suffocation in his chest.

"Dong! Dong! Dong!" The third tom was also sounded, but there were still more than a dozen people who had not arrived. Chen Hailong's captain of the bodyguard took the command arrow and led the guards out to arrest the people.

There was silence in the lobby of the Admiral's residence, and everyone was looking intently. They were afraid that the angry Admiral would cause trouble for him.

"Hmph! I have indulged you too much these days, and now we are going to fight. I must strictly observe military discipline. No matter who I kill, I am not allowed to plead for mercy."

Hearing that there was going to be a war, all the senior officers in the room looked at Chen Hailong. The place where the war was going to be was in Liaodong. Shandong had been peaceful for many years. Since the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, only the rebellious King Yan was in Shandong.

There was a big fight. How do you say there is a war all of a sudden? Could it be that...!

Want to transfer everyone to Liaodong?

I don’t dare to go to that place in Liaodong, because whoever goes will die. Juniper and Liu Ting can’t bear it, let alone soldiers like Shandong who haven’t fought in many years.

"I just received a report that thousands of Japanese soldiers have occupied Liugong Island. I don't have any information yet on where to attack next. Tell me, what should we do?" Chen Hailong's eyes scanned these Shandong provinces like a chainsaw.

Senior military officer.

No one spoke, the lobby was still silent, not even a person coughed.

This news is so shocking. Since the Japanese were defeated in Korea during the Wanli period, that small Japanese country has been dormant for many years. Why did it come again this time? Moreover, thousands of people came at once and occupied Liugong Island as a stronghold.

.

Many officers had been to Korea during the Wanli period and knew how difficult the Japanese soldiers were. When Chen Hailong asked, no one was willing to be the leader.

"Are you mute? When they were having fun in the fucking brothel, weren't they all very energetic? Now they are all fucking mute?" Seeing that his subordinates were all acting as mutes, Chen Hailong waved his hand and swatted the arrow box away.

.

"Crash!" The arrow box fell to the ground, and the arrows were scattered all over the floor. This time, no one dared to speak.

"Son of a bastard!" Chen Hailong wanted to slap the guys below one by one.

"Master Hou! I think this matter should be reported to the Ministry of War first no matter what. At the same time, strict defenses should be implemented in Weihai and other places to prevent the Japanese soldiers from further actions." Shi Daxuan stood up, and Chen Hailong was already on the verge of going berserk.

"At least someone said something humane." Chen Hailong endured his anger and sat back in his seat.

"Master Shi is right."

"I agree with Master Shi's words."

"My subordinates also agree!"

"Subordinate...!"

Hearing Chen Hailong speak, there was a chorus of approval. Once again, Chen Hailong was so angry!

"Okay, then prepare a draft and submit it to the Ministry of War...!" Before Chen Hailong could finish speaking, a captain hurried in.

"Report! Report to the Marquis. Last night, Japanese soldiers attacked Weihaiwei at night. Most of the men guarding Chen Baihu were killed. The number of Japanese pirates was thousands. There were a lot of muskets, and the shooting was extremely accurate. The remaining information remains to be investigated!"

"What?" Chen Hailong stood up in shock.

The Japanese soldiers were so fast that they actually occupied Liugong Island yesterday afternoon and Weihaiwei in the evening. Where are they now? Dengzhou? Laizhou?

The development of things was far beyond Chen Hailong's expectation.

"Master Hou! We should report it to the Ministry of War immediately. The Japanese pirates are so powerful that it is difficult for us to deal with them with our military strength. We should ask the Ministry of War to coordinate reinforcements to come to Shandong to jointly resist the Japanese soldiers." Shi Daxuan spoke again.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Five hundred miles immediately, no! Eight hundred miles urgently, report to the Ministry of War." Chen Hailong was already a little panicked now. These Japanese soldiers seemed to have fallen from the sky. They moved too fast, and they had already
