Zhou Wang is about fifty years old. Although he is over fifty, he is still tall, strong and very skilled in martial arts. He lives in the largest house on the island and often goes to Chaoyang County. He calls himself Zhou Yuanwai and spends a lot of money.
I have good relations with the county officials.
Zhou Wangyi had a son named Zhou Xing, the son he had with a Nanyang woman. The Nanyang woman died during the war. He brought his son back to China, and now he is very strong and strong, and he began to inherit his business.
He later married another wife, but later he had a conflict with his son Zhou Xing and was hacked to death by his son. Zhou Wang never married again. He often went to the county to bring a few prostitutes home to stay for a few days and then sent them back.
To avoid further family conflicts.
While sleeping, Zhou Wangyi was awakened by a fierce barking. He had been a pirate for more than 20 years and was extremely sensitive to all kinds of things. The barking was different from usual. He sat up and the three prostitutes around him were startled.
.
"Executive member, what's wrong with you?"
"Shhh - don't talk."
He strained his ears to listen, and suddenly he heard shouts and screams in the distance.
"not good!"
He jumped up and pulled out a knife from the bedside. The three prostitutes screamed in fright and got under the quilt.
Zhou Wang put on his clothes indiscriminately, kicked open the back window and jumped out. He ran out from behind and squatted under the wall to observe carefully. Countless soldiers rushed into the village. There were shouts of death and screams everywhere. He watched helplessly.
He watched several of his men running over, and was immediately chased by a soldier who stabbed them all to death with a spear.
He took a breath of air. These soldiers were vicious and brave. They were no ordinary state soldiers. At this time, several women's screams came from his house. It was bad, they were coming after him.
Zhou Wang stood up in a hurry and ran along the path. His men kept following him along the way. When he ran out of the village, there were already more than 70 people behind him.
"Daddy!" He suddenly heard his son's cry. Zhou Wang was so happy that his son also escaped.
"Follow me quickly!"
They all know that the only way to escape the encirclement and suppression is to enter the sea. Entering the sea is their world, and no one can catch them.
Everyone followed Zhou Wang and fled toward the bay where the boats were parked. The officers and soldiers came from the northwest, so they may not know the boats they had hidden in the bay.
The large group of people ran for more than ten miles and gradually approached the bay. At this moment, they heard a bang and countless arrows were suddenly shot from the highlands on both sides. They were as fast as rain and powerful. These pirates were unable to dodge and were shot one after another.
A large area was shot down, and there were screams and wails. Zhou Wangyi's son Zhou Xing ran in the front and was shot through the body by seven or eight arrows, and died tragically on the spot.
However, Zhou Wangyi reacted very quickly because the people on both sides acted as human shields. He got down in time and escaped the first round of arrow kills. Four hundred soldiers surrounded and killed him, leaving less than twenty people. He had a strong desire to survive.
Make Zhou Wangyi kneel down and raise his hands and shout: "I am Zhou Wangyi, I surrender! Surrender!"
Other subordinates also knelt on the ground and shouted to surrender. Unfortunately, what they encountered today was the Western Army who had experienced hundreds of battles. Their hearts were as hard as iron and they showed no mercy. Han Xiaowu coldly ordered: "Leave Zhou Wangyi behind.
Kill all the others!"
The soldiers swarmed forward, dragged Zhou Wangyi aside and tied them up. The others were hacked to death with knives. Zhou Wangyi turned pale with shock. He also killed people like crazy, but he had never seen such a cruel and ruthless soldier.
What made it even more difficult for him to accept was that everyone's bodies were thrown onto the boat, burned by a fire, including the people and the boat, and sank into the sea.
The day gradually dawned, and the cleanup on the island came to an end. No one escaped. Except for the leader Zhou Wangyi, all 340 pirates were executed. Only the old, weak, women and children escaped.
The soldiers immediately searched various houses and found a large amount of wealth. Copper coins and cloth and satin were piled up in every house. But the real wealth was found in Zhou Wangyi's house. One room led to a huge dark cave.
They are all big boxes. Zhou Wangyi doesn't want cloth or copper coins, but only gold, silver, jewelry and precious spices.
It took the soldiers two days to carry all the wealth onto the big ship. There were 200,000 copper coins alone and nearly 500,000 pieces of cloth and silk. Liu Dajiang immediately announced that all the copper coins, cloth and silk would be given to the soldiers.
The boatman also received thirty pieces of cloth each, and everyone cheered for a while.
The fleet then returned to Quanzhou. This time the pirates were wiped out, and everyone made a fortune. They needed to go ashore, sell the cloth and satin, and remit the copper coins to their families through the counter.
The pirate Zhou Wangyi was beheaded in public at Caishikou, and tens of thousands of people watched and applauded. This also gave Quanzhou merchants reassurance that the Western Army would severely crack down on pirates and maintain the safety of overseas routes.
The Sichuan-Shaanxi Cabinet Shop in Quanzhou was crowded with people, and there was a long queue. Most of them were Liu Dajiang's subordinates. They sent all the two thousand guan of money they received to the warehouse behind, and after counting, they got a sign.
Use this sign to store or transfer money.
Liu Dajiang suggested that they remit money to their families. Their lives may be in danger at any time overseas. It is better to leave the money they earn to their parents, wives and children.
Withdrawing money from other places has always been an advantage of Sichuan-Shaanxi Ai Fang. It is very convenient and very popular among businessmen and soldiers. Of course, this project of Ai Fang existed during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty and was called Feiqian.
After everyone has deposited the money, he only needs to tell the counter where the money is withdrawn, and the counter will hand over half a bronze medal, a secret seal, and a money withdrawal receipt to the soldier. With these three items, the money can be withdrawn at the agreed counter.
.
Liu Dajiang put all the soldiers' money withdrawal receipts into a cloth bag. There was also a soldier's home letter inside. The cloth bag had each soldier's name and home address written on it. He sewed it tightly with needle and thread, along with the other pirates.
The wealth was sent to Jingzhao together. Chen Qinghui sent people to deliver these cloth bags to the families of each soldier, which was very thoughtful.
In the Overseas Trade Administration office, Chao Kun is explaining simple overseas information to Liu Dajiang. Chao Kun is now fully responsible for exchanging silver with Japan and recruiting Japanese workers to Ryukyu Island. He has no time to go to Nanyang, leaving it to Liu Dajiang.
Dajiang.
There is a simple map drawn by Chao Kun himself on the table. Although it is simple, it is relatively accurate.
"Sail southeast from Quanzhou, and it will take about six to eight days to reach Luzon Island. There are many large islands there, almost all of which are uninhabited, with only a small number of natives living there. His Highness once told me that these islands will
Incorporated into our overseas territory, your first trip to sea is mainly to understand the entire Nanyang, and don’t stay in one place for too long!”
Liu Dajiang pondered for a while and said: "Although those boatmen have been to the sea, they are not very familiar with the situation in Nanyang. Can you introduce to me some guides who are very familiar with various places in Nanyang?"
"Yes! There are quite a few! Let me introduce you to someone later. He is an experienced old navigator named Zhang Jiugong. Even though he is a little older, he is a living map of Nanyang. He has also been to Tianzhu Dashi and is in good health.
Very good, I asked him to take a few people to go to sea with you."
"Very good!"
Liu Dajiang said happily: "With such a living map, I feel relieved."
Five days later, Liu Dajiang led ten large ships loaded with goods to leave Quanzhou and sail to the distant Southeast Asia.
