At this time, the sea surface was already in chaos. Huang Kui could not see Lunguili's big ship. In the wind and rain, she did not hear Lunguili's order to abandon the ship and go ashore. Seeing that the ships had changed their direction and headed south, she knew

The battle was lost. He immediately ordered his seven warships to flee south immediately to preserve their strength. Zhuang Youmei packed up the remaining troops and escaped with them. Lin Yasun's ship was originally on the rear side of the bay, but although it was not

Fighting with any officers and soldiers, but many ships were destroyed due to the storm. At this time, looking at Huang Kui, Zhuang Youmei went south, where was the fighting spirit? He had to call on his gang and fled south to Chu.

Door.

Little did they know that not long after they escaped, they heard the sound of killing on the sea again:

"Come on!"

This was the sound from the direction of Chumen. Hu Zhensheng's fleet heard that the pirate ships were in chaos on the Songmen Sea, and immediately led his troops to fight out. At this time, they happened to meet Lin Yasun's fleet.

"Don't be afraid! The official warships are smaller than ours. We don't have to be afraid. We can just charge out!" Lin Yasun was unwilling to admit defeat.

But the pirates witnessed that frightening night at sea, when most of the ships hit the cliff and capsized in the storm, and many brothers from the Shui'ao Gang perished in the sea. Even though Lin Yasun's men did not fight against the official army, how much fighting spirit did they have? Listen,

Hearing Lin Yasun's shouts, he panicked and rushed towards the official ship. The strange thing was that Hu Zhensheng did not pursue the several large ships rushing at the front.

"Grab the boat!" Seeing that among the boats that the Shui'ao Gang continued to flee south, there were already many ships similar in size to official ships. Hu Zhensheng did not hesitate and directly led his troops to rush forward. Within a quarter of an hour, seven or eight ships

The small boat was rushed up by the officers and soldiers. The pirates were already in panic. Seeing that the officers and soldiers were rushing towards them and they were the elites of Wenzhou Town, how could they still have the fighting spirit to continue to fight against the officers and soldiers? They could only resist two or three back and forth, and all these boats were captured by Hu Zhensheng.

Lin Yasun, seeing the chaos among the Shui'ao gang, naturally knew that it was no longer possible to take back these ships.

Looking at the distant sea, in the dimly shining sky, Huang Kui, Zhuang Youmei and others' remaining ships rushed out one after another, he had no choice but to sigh and continue to retreat with the last dozen or so ships.

After a night of storm, together with the three towns along the coast, Baojia and Baojia worked together to encircle and suppress most of the Annan ships, Fengwei Gang, and Shui'ao Gang that came to the Zhejiang coast. The next day, the official army and Baojia counted the number of pirates captured at sea, and only

They were drowned in the sea, and a total of 5,000 pirates were killed on the shore, and 800 pirates were captured. With the combined effect of the right time, location, and people, the Battle of Songmen ended in a complete victory for Ruan Yuan, Li Changgeng and others.

However, at this time, neither the officers nor the escaped pirates such as Lin Yasun and Zhuang Youmei knew that there were actually seven pirate ships on the mountain island southwest of Chumen.

These seven ships belonged to Cai Qian. On that day, the Shui'ao Gang and the Fengwei Gang were at war, but Lun Guili forcibly interrupted it. Lun Guili was furious and scolded Lin Yasun and Cai Qian for secretly colluding with Zheng Tianxuan and preparing to embezzle food.

Cai Qian saw that Lun Guili was cruel and mean, and if he continued to stay in the Shui'ao Gang, he was afraid that he would be targeted by him sooner or later and secretly eliminated. So he made up his mind and simply stopped going north with Lin Yasun, but took his own

The seven ships turned south and left the pirate army. Lunguili was looking at the five grain ships, thinking that Cai could not hold a small leader. He would either obey his orders, or he could annihilate them in one fell swoop by raising his hand. What?

It looked like it was unlikely to happen, so he didn't care. He planned to take over eastern Zhejiang, achieve great dominance, and then come back to settle accounts in the autumn.

Cai Qian's subordinates were all recruited by themselves, and they were more attached to Cai Qian than to Lin Yasun, so a few ships went south for a day or two, but no one complained. Grandma Lu knew Cai Qian's intentions, and told them

Although it was contrary to Lun Guili's interests to move the main leaders to the south, it was not much better to go north. After her repeated persuasion, the main leaders had no complaints. By the way, Cai Qian and his party also brought the Zheng family's ship with them. This was also because

It was because he didn't want to offend Zheng Tianxuan.

A storm swept through eastern Zhejiang that night. Cai Qian also knew that the situation at sea was not good. Looking south of Chumen, there were several mountain islands with towering peaks, but the land opposite was flat. If he hid in the leeward to avoid the rain, he could probably escape.

After a disaster, they took several boats to the land side of the mountain island, furled the sails and waited for the wind to stop and the rain to stop. As expected, due to the leeward wind, the storm blew all night, but it did not hit Cai Qian.

What damage did the ship cause?

On the next day, although the strong wind still persisted, the heavy rain gradually stopped, and a rare rainbow appeared on the sea that had not cleared up for two days. Cai Qian thought that if Lun Guili did not know how to restrain himself and continued to move north, he would probably

They had to face the storm head-on, and the odds were stacked against them. However, they didn't know the strength of the government's troops. They didn't know where to go next, so they sent a small boat to the north to get information. It wasn't until noon that the small boat returned to the fleet.

"Report!" As soon as Fang, the leader of the boat, returned to Cai Qian's main ship, he ran towards Cai Qian and said with a bit of unfinished horror: "Last night, Annan entered Luhou, and the leaders of Fengwei Gang and Lin Gang gathered at Songmen.

They tried to seize the five grain ships in the port, but unexpectedly a hurricane suddenly came and heavy rains came. Last night, most of the Annan ships were damaged, and only a dozen gondolas were able to escape from Songmen, not to mention more than half of the brothers.

Our lives were lost in that Songmen Bay!" At this time, everyone in the Zheng family was ordered by Cai Qian and was called to the ship to wait for Cai Qian to finally decide their fate. They happened to hear the news together with Cai Qian.

No matter the members of the Zheng family or Cai Qian and his wife, they were all shocked when they heard that the pirate alliance was almost completely wiped out overnight. They shouted "Ah".

But when Wu Ping looked at Cai Qian, he vaguely saw that among Cai Qian's panicked look, there seemed to be a little bit of joy...

"What about Lung Guili? Did he escape?" Cai Qian asked.

"This...it is said that only Vice Admiral Huang Kui on the Annan ship successfully broke through with seven ships. The others should all be trapped in Songmen." The leader of the boat said.

"How is Lin Yasun?" Cai Qian asked again.

"Gang Leader Lin... It is said that although Gang Leader Lin was the rear, he also damaged many ships. Later, he was overtaken by the government ship and took some small boats over. Half of the big ships of the gang leader escaped, and there should be no small boats left.

How many ships are there?" the leader continued.

"What? Haha, according to you, their dozens of large ships and a fleet of tens of thousands of people were completely defeated overnight?" Cai Qian's excitement could not be concealed in Cai Qian's incredible words.

"Yes, that's it..." said the little boss.

"Hmph, why did Annan go to Luhou Lun Guili? How arrogant he is in ordinary times? Now? It is indeed retribution!" Cai Qian heard that Lun Guili was in trouble, so how could he not despise him? As he said that, he looked at it again

He said to Grandma Lu: "Since they have all been defeated, it is useless for us to stay here. Go and give my order later and let's go south together!"

"I'll tell them right now!" Grandma Lu and Cai Qian are most familiar with each other. Looking at Cai Qian's expression, it is natural to know that after the defeat of the three major pirate gangs, Cai Qian will most likely rise up in the East China Sea in the future. Apart from being excited, of course she wants to

I need to hurry up and deliver the order.

"Mom, don't worry. Aren't there still some people waiting for me to deal with?" Cai Qian was only excited for a moment and then calmed down. Then he turned around and said to Zheng Jia and his group: "Since they

It's all over, and most of your grain ships have also perished in the sea. Then it's useless for me to keep you here. I'll return your ships to you, and go back to your Wenzhou!"

Zheng Jia was already prepared for the worst when he went to sea this time. He knew that if he disagreed with the pirates, his life would be in danger. But he didn't know that Cai Qian actually wanted to let him go at this time, which was a little difficult for a while.

He believed it and asked: "This... Chief Cai, you, you are not lying to us, are you?"

"Why did I lie to you? Is it any good to me if you stay here? Besides, I don't want to kill anyone today. Killing people will only increase bad luck. Even if you are lucky and catch up with today's good day, go back quickly.

Right! But I'm going to say something nasty first. I just promise not to fall out with you today. How I treat your Zheng family in the future is another matter." Cai Qian seemed to have caught up with an auspicious day, with these words

It is a rare sincerity.

"Then thank you, Chief Cai!" After everyone in the Zheng family heard that their lives were guaranteed, they also hurriedly bowed to Cai Qian. Then the pirate ship helped everyone get ladders and put everyone back on the original ship one by one.

During the process, the group of people got ready in the boat and headed south.

But no one on the boat expected that when the boat was a few feet away from Cai Qian's flagship, Cai Qian's voice came from behind:

"Wu Ping! Go back and tell Ruan Yuan, stop playing tricks to sow discord with me! I'm not that easy to deceive! Tell him clearly and ask him to wash his neck and wait for my knife in Hangzhou! Hahahaha!"

When Wu Ping heard these words in the boat, his face turned earth-colored and he was suddenly dripping with cold sweat.

Needless to say, the so-called "Wu Ping" is Yang Ji's pseudonym. After he left Ruan Yuan, he followed Ruan Yuan's instructions and came to Zheng Tianxuan's business. Together with Zheng Jia and several other Zheng family confidants, he went south to look for Shui'ao.

Help. He had a plan when he came. This time he broke into the pirates, and he must make the pirates turn against each other for these five ships of food. Who knew that the person he met first was Cai Qian. Yang Ji had always been bold, and he didn't care about Cai Qian.

Who was the pirate leader, so he started chatting with Cai Qian. He had always experienced extraordinary things, and Sun Xingyan pointed out the customs and specialties of Wenzhou. He was even more at home on the pirate ship and quickly gained Cai Qian's trust. Then Cai Qian took them to see him.

Lin Yasun and Lun Guili, he estimated that Lun Guili would probably fall out. Sure enough, Lun Guili was ready to break the contract as soon as they exchanged a word. He took the opportunity to lure Lin Yasun with huge benefits. The purpose was not to make Lin Yasun sway, but to

He wanted Zhuang Youmei, who was also a Fujian pirate, to start suspecting him. Sure enough, after hearing Yang Ji's words, Zhuang Youmei couldn't hold back immediately.

After that, Yang Ji discussed with Zheng Jia and others, pretending to send a boat to notify the grain transport ship to deliver all the grain to Shui'ao. In fact, as soon as the boat was dispatched, it headed towards the Fengwei Gang, and was naturally caught by the Fengwei Gang.

Zhuang Youmei learned that Lin Yasun had gone behind her back and made a secret agreement with the Zheng family to monopolize 10,000 shi of food. How could she endure it? She immediately ordered all the boats and attacked the Shui'ao gang. In the end, both gangs suffered heavy losses.

Not to mention the lack of manpower, Lin Yasun was abandoned by Lun Guili, and Cai Qian also left the Shuiao Gang. Although it did not fully achieve the expected results, Yang Ji's trip was considered a success.

It's just that when Yang Ji left Cai Qian, he didn't know at all what he had done wrong, so that Cai Qian recognized him?

"You said he is Ruan Yuan's?" On Cai Qian's boat, Grandma Lu was equally puzzled when she heard Cai Qian suddenly shouting like this.

"I'm not completely sure, but it's 70% or 80% certain, right?" Cai Qian looked at the boat's departure and sneered: "Actually, when they came, I felt something was wrong with this Wu Ping. He was too different.

Okay, all the other Zheng family guys looked at me as if they were seeing a ferocious spirit. But he was the only one who didn’t have the slightest fear. Instead, he started drinking with me. Isn’t this interesting? The more interesting this is, the more interesting it is.

The more you need to be careful, don’t you think so?”

"But like this, I dare not say that he must have ulterior motives, so when you were not around that day, I tested him. Sure enough, he has put in a lot of effort and done a lot to Wenzhou and the Zheng family.

Little homework. But even so, two flaws were exposed."

"You can see this? What kind of flaw is there to betray such an honest person like him?" Grandma Lu couldn't understand Cai Qian's words for a moment.

"Mom, it's like this. First, I told him about a pub in Wenzhou called 'Yuan Shao'. I said it was in Yongning Lane, Wenzhou City, but he said it was in Shuangjing. Haha, I have been to this Wenzhou more than once.

Once? Five years ago, this restaurant was indeed in Yongning Lane, but three years ago I went there and moved to Shuangjing. But as for Wu Ping, he said that he had lived in Wenzhou for seven years. Isn’t this inconsistent with the preface and the follower?

I also inadvertently told him that there is a camphor leaf burning custom in Wenzhou in June. This burning camphor leaf is obviously a custom of the Spring Equinox, also known as "blazing spring". He didn't even notice it and actually agreed. What do you mean?

Have you really lived in Wenzhou for these seven years?" Cai Qian said with a look of pride on his face.

"Then why didn't you kill him?" Grandma Lu said without being polite at all.

"Why should we kill him? At least until now, he has been helping us, hasn't he?" Cai Qian said proudly: "His demeanor does not have any of the habits of an officer and soldier, so I conclude that he is not Li Changgeng's subordinate.

, that was probably the undercover agent sent by Ruan Yuan. Later, I also thought that when he came to us, he must be trying to sow discord. Doesn’t this just suit my wishes? If it weren’t for this sowing dissension, how could Lin Yasun have done it?

Inexplicably, they got into a fight with Zhuang Youmei? How could ships like us escape in Songmen? As for the dozens of ships capsized in Songmen overnight, I think Ruan Yuan's idea must have been among them.

"

"So... Zhuang Youmei suddenly said that we were eating everything inside and out. Is that the boy's fault?" Grandma Lu asked.

"It's too simple. As long as he deliberately said that he would give us all the food, Lun Guili and Zhuang Youmei would naturally be anxious. Then he would send a boat out and deliberately hit the guns of the Fengwei Gang. We would eat everything in Shui'ao. Wouldn't it be wrong?

Just take a seat? It just so happens that I don’t want to have sex with a fool like Lin Yasun. Wouldn’t it be great if the cannon was fired and the upper and lower parts were cleared? Just watch, Lunguili’s life is probably not saved this time. If Lin Yasun knows the truth, I

After seeing him for a few months, he asked me to take him in," Cai Qian said.

"Why does your tone sound more energetic than that of Na Lung Guili? It's like... it seems that in a few days, this eastern Zhejiang coast will be your world." Grandma Lu looked at Cai Qian's face.

With an arrogance that he had never seen before, he vaguely began to realize that perhaps a maritime era for his wife was coming soon...

"That's right!" Cai Qian said with unusual firmness, "Who has the most power in the ocean between Fujian and Zhejiang now? It's me! Lun Guili is gone, Huang Kui only has seven ships, Lin Yasun,

Zhuang Youmei probably won't be able to make a comeback after losing his troops. A storm that capsized dozens of ships was enough to turn them into frightened birds. You see, within three months, the government will definitely pursue them.

Fight fiercely. We don’t have to be reckless when the time comes. We just sit back and reap the benefits. See which side is badly beaten by the officers and soldiers, and then go and recruit them. Next year, hey, it doesn’t matter whether it’s Ruan Yuan or Li Changgeng.

Okay, I want them to know how powerful I am!"

"That's not bad, but I don't think Wu Ping is a good person. Even if we could use him before, what use is he now? It would be most satisfying to kill him with just one knife." Grandma Lu still refused to let Yang Ji go.

.

"Mom, I understand, you are jealous of him, aren't you? Hahahaha!" Cai Qian smiled without any scruples: "But, as an undercover agent, he performed pretty well. This is when he met me. If he

If you go directly to see Lin Yasun, maybe you can completely deceive Lin Yasun? Wouldn't it be interesting to keep such a capable person for a fight? "

"Besides, it's not easy to find someone on this sea who doesn't show any taboo when meeting me, and who can actually drink and laugh with me..."
