Chapter 104: The Sea Shark
Chapter 104: Sharks in the Sea
Shangguanming committed suicide.15
Yue Su looked at the corpses of Shangguan Ming and Zimei. The two corpses were lying side by side. Although the corpses had dark faces, they did not make people feel terrible, but made them feel a little sympathetic.
Taking a deep breath, Yue Su said: "Bury their bodies together. Zimei, Zimei, it would be better for you and me not to meet each other. If we don't meet, maybe you can still live happily with your husband.
.”
After saying this, Yue Su glanced at everyone in the room and said: "Search the inn carefully to see if we can find any clues. Jin Chan, I will leave this matter to you." After saying this, Yue Su turned around.
He walked out. After not taking two steps, he suddenly remembered what happened to Zheng Zhilong, but he did not stop. As he walked, he said: "Zheng Zhilong, follow the governor back to the government. When you get to the Yamen, you will explain the matter in detail."
Zhilong quickly followed.
There is no need to detail the cleanup of the scene. How could Shangguan Ming leave any clues? All that was left was some money. Yue Su led a group of men and returned to the governor's residence. As soon as he arrived at the residence, he rushed to the back hall.
. The only people who entered the door with Yue Su were a few of his confidants. After the door was closed, Lord Yue said: "General Zheng, who will be defeated by the navy and what the losses will be, please report to the governor in detail immediately."
"Commander, the situation is like this..."
Zheng Zhilong did not dare to neglect, and immediately told the situation in detail.
It turned out that not long after Zheng Zhilong and Mo met in Hangzhou, they started working in their old business. What to do? It was not just doing business on the sea. At the beginning, it was smooth sailing. They brought them from Fujian
Forty warships, five of which are giant ships, especially the four original English warships, all brought by Yue Su, can be said to be strong ships and powerful guns, no one can defeat them on the sea. Therefore, in the previous few times
All the sales were easily won, and the harvest was huge. Mr. Yue also followed the imperial edict and told the people below that they were not allowed to take more than 30%, and the remaining 30% must be handed over to Chaoyin Ting. Thirty percent is already a lot.
10% of it was divided among everyone, and the other 20% was reserved for future construction.
Perhaps because it was so easy to capture each time, Zheng Zhilong and Mo Youshi became more and more aggressive, and they underestimated the enemy more and more. In previous operations, more than ten or twenty ships were dispatched together, and thousands of officers and soldiers were dispatched.
Later, they locked the target and dared to take action against five or six warships with three to four hundred people. This chapter is provided by [This chapter is provided for you] and they often split up to rob them.
This time, that's what they did. After stepping on the plate, the navy found that three groups of merchant ships were passing by here. Why are you so polite? They immediately divided their forces and checked them one by one. But what they didn't expect was that these three groups of merchant ships were all
It is not a fuel-efficient lamp. As soon as it saw Yinting's warship approaching, it immediately launched a bombardment. However, how could their gunboats be able to withstand the navy's warships? The artillery on the navy's warships now is either Dutch cannon or Spanish.
The cannons are very sharp, and each team in action is equipped with a huge English ship. How can those merchant ships be opponents? The merchant ships are retreating while fighting, and the navy warships are chasing after them, and they will soon hit the merchant ships.
When they lost their combat effectiveness, more than 20 warships suddenly came from a distance and attacked the navy warships. The enemy was outnumbered, and the navy immediately fell into a passive position. Several warships were beaten and lost their combat effectiveness.
, fortunately, the English ship was very powerful in combat, and we managed to escape.
Of the three naval warships that went to seize it, two of them were beaten and only one giant ship was left, and they fled back in embarrassment. The other group was lucky enough to escape in a hurry, but the loss was not huge.
big.
Without any further investigation, we already knew that the navy fleet that ambushed Chaoyinting was pirates off the coast of Zhejiang. Moreover, there were three groups of pirates operating together. Needless to say, these three groups have been introduced before, and they are exactly "
"Shark in the sea", "Jiao out of the sea", "Qi Zitou".
The navy lost more than ten warships and hundreds of casualties at once. Such a huge loss, and Chaoyinting had just sent a supervisory army. Zheng Zhilong knew that the matter was difficult, so he rushed to the governor's cabin as soon as possible and asked Yue
Su reported. It was only because of his timely arrival that Yue Su was saved from death. I don't know if this was God's will.
After listening to Zheng Zhilong's story, Yue Su's face turned livid, and he slapped the table hard and said: "Okay, just a mere pirate dared to openly confront Chaoyinting Navy. I think they are tired of living!"
The Governor had been busy dealing with the Dragon Slayer Gang before and had not spared his hands to deal with them. They actually dared to come to the door. They simply didn’t know how good Lord Ma was. Tong Zhou, now take this Governor’s Order Arrow and go to Fujian to ask Kong Youde
Send warships here for reinforcements, I will quell the pirates along the coast of Zhejiang in one fell swoop!"
"I obey!" Tong Zhou agreed and went to Yue Su's table to pick up Yin and get the order arrow.
But at this moment, a police officer suddenly came to report outside the door. A man who claimed to be Wang Sha came to ask for an audience. He said that he had a secret message and came to report it, hoping that Mr. Yue could meet him in person.
Yue Su had never heard of the name Wang Sha, but since he said he was here to report a confidential matter, how could Yue Su not see him and immediately ordered him to be summoned?
After a while, the guard led this big man with a beard to the door. This big man was about forty years old. He had a strong back and a strong waist, eyes like a tiger, and an evil look on his face. You could tell at a glance that he was the kind of man who would not kill people.
blinking.
The officer said, "Bring Wang Sha here", and Yue Su asked Wang Sha to come in. As soon as Wang Sha came in, Yue Su looked at this portrait and expected that he was not a kind person. He didn't know why this person came here to report.
Wang Sha was very sensible. He took two steps forward after entering the door, immediately knelt down on the ground and rushed forward to kowtow, "Sha Tong Wang, the sinner, kowtows to the Governor."
"Sha Tong Wang?" Yue Su raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't your name Wang Sha? Why did you call yourself Sha Tong Wang when you met the governor? What crime do you have?"
"The reason why the guilty people called themselves Wang Sha and did not dare to use their real names when they asked for an audience was because they were afraid of being known by others and spreading the word. The guilty people were originally the masters of Haisha, and they had committed a crime against the Heavenly Master the day before yesterday.
It's extremely shameful for me to come here today to consecrate my head, and I hope you will be kind to me outside the law." Sha Tongwang said sincerely.
"Hahahaha..." Yue Su laughed loudly and said: "It turns out that you are the boss of Haisha. You came to the governor's camp today. I think the surrender is fake. You should have other plans. Tell me, what are your plans?"
"The guilty people fell into the grass and turned themselves into thieves. It was really a helpless act. Now that Master Yue is here, the guilty people have long admired your reputation and admired him very much. They came here today. Firstly, they surrendered. Secondly, they wanted to imitate Zheng Zhilong from Fujian and join your service.
We can recruit him," Sha Tongwang said.
"I see. You know the practicalities." Yue Su smiled slightly and said: "Chaoyinting has millions of soldiers and thousands of generals. You, the light of fireflies, don't know your own capabilities and dare to fight against Chao Yinting's Heavenly Master.
It's like mandarin Yin is using Yin's chariot as his own, bringing about his own destruction. I originally planned to mobilize warships in the near future to catch you all in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect that you would take one step ahead of me and come to surrender. Very good, I always do
We are thirsty for talents. As long as anyone is willing to serve the country and has certain abilities, I will definitely recommend him. This person is the Zheng Zhilong you mentioned..."
Yue Su said, pointed at Zheng Zhilong, and then said: "He was just a pirate on the coast of Fujian, just like you, but now, he has become the commander-in-chief of the Zhejiang Navy and a first-class general. You are defecting now, too.
It's not too late, but don't even think about getting his status as soon as you enter the Yin court. At least you have to make great contributions to the Yin court. Zheng Zhilong wiped out the Fujian pirates and followed the governor to recover Taiyin Bay. He made great contributions and was dismissed.
Granted such an important position. Now that you are determined to serve the country, you must at least show some sincerity."
"The guilty people are very sincere. That day, the guilty people were invited by Qi Zitou, who went out to sea, to jointly ambush the Yinting navy. The guilty people did not want to do this, but they did not want to fall out with them immediately, so they did it in vain.
He was a snake and agreed on the surface. When he fought with the Navy, the sinners were just pretending and did not dare to hurt the Heavenly Master. Today, he did it in person. He was definitely sincere. Also, the sinners only wanted to serve Yinting.
If you have done meritorious service, as long as you accept Yin Rong, I will go all out to help you clear the sea area of Zhejiang and wipe out all the pirates." Sha Tongwang's words are true. He knows how powerful Lord Yue is.
Bazhidu surrendered to Mr. Yue, and the Dutch and Spanish on Taiyin Bay were all defeated. The entire Fujian and the coast of Taiyin Bay were ruled by the imperial navy. How could these pirates be opponents?
.So, he promised the other two groups on the surface that he would not use any force during the sneak attack on Chaoyinting Navy. He only beat the people away and did not sink a warship. Of the warships that three groups went to seize, two groups basically
The whole army was wiped out, and only one group came back, which is evident from this.
Sha Tongwang understood that he could go against Chao Yinting, but he could not go against the Lord Yue in front of him. Otherwise, he would bring about Yin's death. Besides, what's the future of being a pirate? He would be a thief all his life.
The children will have no place to live in the future, and they might have to be killed by other pirates after their death. It would be much safer to join Chaoyinting. Zheng Zhilong is a role model. Now he has become the commander-in-chief, even if he is not good enough
, you can also recruit a lieutenant. Instead of being wiped out, or watching other pirates surrender first and be recruited by the imperial court, it is better to take the lead and be the first to surrender, and the treatment will definitely be much better than those who come after you.
This guy is tall and thick, but I didn’t expect him to have an eye for snacks. He became one of the three pirate giants along the coast of Zhejiang, and it was not just about brute force. Without a snack machine, he would have been eaten by others.
"Very good, I appreciate you being such a happy person. Get up and talk." Yue Su raised his hand and motioned for Sha Tong to start barking.
"Thank you, sir." Sha Tongwang kowtowed and then stood up.
"Wang Shatong, since you intend to surrender and serve the imperial court, the governor is not in a hurry to dispatch the Fujian navy to help suppress the bandits. This can also be regarded as an opportunity for you to make a contribution. By the way, I will also see if you can
If you sincerely surrender, how much can you do?" Yue Su said loudly.
"The guilty people must serve their crimes and help you to destroy the pirates along the coast of Zhejiang." Shatong Wang Yinbo said.
"Yes, you are ambitious. This governor is in charge of Fujian and Zhejiang. Although he has the power to appoint officials directly, the official positions appointed by this governor can usually be counted. Now I will confer on you the position of Fujian Navy Commander, and then there will be a meeting
The Yin Court of this court has issued an order to accept your fate. You must perform well. As long as you pacify the pirates on the sea in Zhejiang, I will certainly not hesitate to reward you and recommend you as a deputy general." Yue Su said.
