Over the years, Chen Zuyi traveled across Southeast Asia, and many small countries in Southeast Asia surrendered to him. Zhu Yuanzhang offered a reward of 500,000 yuan for his head, but there was nothing he could do. Chen Zuyi was so arrogant and arrogant that Ling Potian said that he had a real dragon.
When the Emperor came to visit him, he believed it without any doubt. He truly believed that with his hundreds of warships and his numerous horses, he was qualified to conquer the Central Plains.
What's more, Ling Potian also told him that the White Lotus Sect in various places was also preparing to rebel, and the Central Plains was about to be in chaos, so Chen Zuyi, who couldn't wait to be promoted from the King of the Sea to the King of the Land, stepped up his conquest and annexation of other pirate gangs, using both soft and hard tactics to snare them.
Under his own banner, Shuangyu Island became the place he was determined to win, because from here he could go straight to Hangzhou Bay and attack Nanjing City. The strategic location was particularly important to him, the pirate king.
He led ten warships and came happily and anchored on Xiaojiao Island. This is the outermost island of Liuheng Islands. Years of piracy career has made Chen Zuyi very cunning. Shuangyu has just been obtained.
His troops have not yet entered the garrison, and the imperial army may come to encircle and suppress him at any time, so he will not go deep into the hinterland and garrison Shuangyu.
The big ship was anchored near Xiaojiao Island. Chen Zuyi immediately took his main ship and rushed to Shuangyu Island. On Shuangyu Island, Xu Hu had just led his main force to leave for Chenqian Island. In less than a day, everyone else on the island except him
The group of people who stayed as guides were mainly members of the Chumi Gang.
Xiao Chu and Xiao Mi, a pair of notorious pirates, do not appear to be vicious just by their appearance. Xiao Chu is in his mid-thirties, and his appearance looks like a fisherman who has been fishing at sea all year round. He has a dark and rough complexion and a face
She is honest and simple. His wife, Xiaomi, also looks like a rather pretty fisherman girl. Although her facial features are a little mediocre, her water snake waist makes her figure very charming.
These two fierce men were well-behaved and docile in front of the more ferocious King of the Sea Chen Zuyi. Although Chen Zuyi has become the King of the Sea, he is not much older than Xiao Chu. He has a well-proportioned and strong figure and thick eyebrows.
, with long and narrow eyes, although not angry, they showed their majesty. Xiao Chu and Xiao Mi, as well as Ling Potian, took Chen Zuyi to the island and took him on a tour of the island. Chen Zuyi was very satisfied with this place.
He plans to transfer a group of cronies to stay on Shuangyu Island for a long time in the near future, making it his most powerful base in the East China Sea. In the afternoon, Chen Zuyi enjoyed a welcoming banquet carefully prepared by Chu Mi and his wife on the island.
We boarded the ship and returned to Xiaojiao Island. Although Xiaochu and Xiaomi were unusually docile, he would not spend the night here before a large number of his cronies stationed at Shuangyu Island.
He was going to return to Xiaojiao Island, where he would spend the night, and then set off for Chenqian Island tomorrow. Although he also felt that he had some bad tempers with Xu Hu, he should still show the magnanimity of a superior person. He wanted to possess the world.
How could he not have the magnanimity to tolerate others? In the future, he would march into the Central Plains and unify the world. This Xu Hu was also a useful talent.
Xiao Chu, Xiao Mi and Ling Potian sent Chen Zuyi away. Only an hour and a half later, when the sky had just darkened, a four-masted ship with twelve sails spread out and the wind gathered up to speed towards the island. Although the police sentry
From afar, they realized that the ship was flying the flag of a pirate, so they sent out a warning. The three of them immediately climbed to the top of the mountain and looked into the distance.
Soon, a pirate from the Shuangyu Gang who stayed on the island shouted: "It's our ship, the third boss is back."
"Oh? Are you sure?"
Xiao Chu's nervousness relaxed and he asked again. The pirate said with certainty: "You can't be wrong. This is indeed our third master's ship."
Xiao Chu laughed loudly and said to Ling Potian: "Commander Ling, you haven't seen this Third Sister Su yet, have you? Let's go and greet her together. This Third Sister Su is known as the Mermaid of the East China Sea. She has good water qualities.
Among the bandits in the East China Sea, no one can match her. Come on, let’s go together to welcome her..."
The legend about mermaids has been recorded in various countries around the world, but it is not known whether this kind of creature really exists. It is mentioned in the "Ancestor Yiji" of the Song Dynasty in my country that during the Taizong period, a Master Cha Dao Cha was sent as an envoy* **, I saw a woman on the sea. "She was wearing a red dress, her hair was in a messy bun, and a red mane was slightly exposed behind her cheeks. She put her life in the water, bowed to her hands and fell in love with her, she was like a mermaid." Xu Xuan, a scholar of the Song Dynasty, said There are similar records in "Ji Shen Lu".
The pirates on the sea are no strangers to this legend. Because Su Ying has a good figure, a graceful figure, and an extremely tall and aquatic body, she is praised as the mermaid of the East China Sea. Xiao Chu pulled Ling Potian with great interest.
As he left, Xiaomi had a straight face and snorted coldly, extremely displeased. She knew very well what kind of virtue her husband was. Xiao Chu had been coveting Su Ying, a pretty widow, for a long time. He usually robbed ships.
Occasionally, young women can be plundered, but Xiaomi is very jealous. Once these women are enjoyed by her husband, she will soon find a way to beat them to death, or reward them to the bandit leader, but Su
Ying's status is different, and now the two families have merged into one family. If her husband really wants her to be his wife, and he really can't do anything to her, Xiaomi will naturally be unhappy.
Xiao Chu didn't care about her displeasure, and pulled Ling Potian to rush to the port first. The boat moved very fast, and he was very familiar with the water conditions of Dongyu Island. It turned left and right like a fish swimming in the whirlpool of reefs, and quickly came to a stop.
After landing on the shore, Su Ying jumped up and landed firmly on the soft sand before setting up the pedals.
Xiao Chu smiled and said: "Third Sister, Xiao Chu has been waiting for you for many days..."
Su Ying said hurriedly: "Get ready quickly, the imperial navy will be here soon."
Xiao Chu was startled, then changed his expression and said, "What, the Imperial Navy is here again?"
Su Ying said: "Yes, when we went to sea, we just saw the imperial navy coming out of the sea in a mighty manner. Because we were discovered by them, we were almost chased by their warships. Fortunately, we ran fast and reported back the news in time. According to them,
According to the ship's speed, they will arrive in one hour at most."
Xiao Chu suddenly became nervous after hearing this. Although it would be dark in an hour and the imperial navy arrived, they could only surround the island tonight. It was unlikely that they would launch an attack immediately. However, the number of people on the island was not as high as that of Xu Hu's entire army.
At that time, there were many people, and they had just taken over the island. They were not very clear about the situation on the island or the water conditions around the island, and the defense power was greatly reduced. He did not dare to be careless.
Xiao Chu calmed down and said to the group of thieves on the left and right: "The last time the imperial army came, they couldn't do anything to us. This time, there are ten large ships of the Sea King outside. Many of the bosses have settled down on Chenqian Island and can come to the rescue in time. I
The three armies respond internally and externally, and they will definitely annihilate the imperial navy on Shuangyu. Come on, send a small boat to Haiwang and Master Xu immediately, asking them to come to the rescue as soon as possible. The people and horses on the island will immediately be on guard at the north and south ports, and be prepared for the attack.
Stone rocket!”
Following Xiao Chu's order, all the people immediately took action. Xiao Chu didn't care about chatting with the mermaid he liked. He apologized and rushed to Beidao. Ling Potian had nothing to do in a naval battle. He has the right to speak, but in fact he can only pretend to be a ghost. Even on land, he has never fought in a battle. He is incomparable to these battle-experienced pirates, so he can only follow behind with bluff.
Seeing the small boat reporting to Xiaojiao Island and Chenqian Island speeding out to sea, Su Ying just breathed a sigh of relief. A woman of similar age walked up to her with a twist of water snake waist, a pair of slightly angular eyes with a little hostility. Look at her.
When Su Ying saw it, she smiled and said hello: "Sister-in-law Xiaomi, the officers and soldiers will be arriving soon. What do you think we need my little sister to do?"
Xiaomi glanced disdainfully at the pirates behind her who had just disembarked one after another, and said: "Including all the people you left on the island, there are only two hundred people in total, which is not enough to fill the teeth of the navy. What can they be used for? "Don't be polite, Third Master. It's been a hard journey, so go back and rest. We are responsible for the defense of this island."
The pirates behind Su Ying were a little restrained after hearing this, but Su Ying opened her hands and pressed them down slightly to stop her subordinates from moving. She chuckled and said: "In that case, the defense is busy, so I won't disturb you. Sister-in-law Mi, after repelling the officers and soldiers, I will treat my sister-in-law to a drink."
Xiaomi laughed, raised her thin lips, and said a little harshly: "How come? Now we are the masters of Shuangyu Island. It's our turn to invite you, the third master, to have a drink. Oh, by the way, the place where the third master is. The courtyard was originally assigned to me, but the Third Master is a guest, so you should stay there for the next few days. Next time you come, my sister-in-law will have to arrange a guest room for you. No matter what, I can't ignore you."
The Shuangyu Island pirates behind Su Ying were a little angry, but Su Ying was not angry. She smiled softly, waved her hand and said, "Let's go!" She has a coquettish waist, straight back, long legs and plump hips, but Xiaomi, who is far inferior to her in stature, cannot show off her charm.
Xiaomi held down the short knife at his waist, stared at her back fiercely, spat, and cursed: "You bastard, prodigal Croft, what's your air?"
In the blink of an eye, he saw several of his men staring greedily at Su Ying's round and round buttocks. Xiaomi became angry and drew his sword: "The officers and soldiers are coming soon. If you don't hurry up and prepare for the battle, look! What are you looking at! What are you looking at?" Look at me gouging out your eyeballs!"
Several pirates immediately got angry and dispersed...
Su Ying's defense line is the most leisurely place. On one side, it is leaning against a cliff. The highest point is a flat turtle-back cliff protruding from a huge boulder. On the other side, there is a gentle beach. Not far away, there are clusters of rocks. There are only a few poles. Only small ships can meander in. It has no role as a dock or port in peacetime, and has no value in attacking and seizing it in wartime. It is also located at the eastern foot of Shuangyu Island, a quiet and desolate island. Therefore, when Ling Potian and Xiao Chu competed for the territory, no one was there. Think about this place, right now it's still a no-man's land.
Because other areas have been occupied by the Chumi Gang, although the beach here has no strategic value, there is also a small group of pirates guarding the beach, so Su Ying arranged her people in her courtyard and on the cliff. In the caves above, she took advantage of the chaotic arrangement and climbed to the top of the Turtle Back Cliff with a few of her followers.
Action is imminent. Whether the man she hid in the secret cave is sincerely cooperating or has ulterior motives, whether he is a friend or an enemy, she will soon be able to confirm. She hopes that Yang Xu did not lie to her, because even though she represents Shuangyu Island
She often dealt with the officials and gentry on the other side, but Yang Xu was the only guy she liked. If Yang Xu lied to her, she swore that she would get him back the same way she rescued him in the first place!
