By now, the remaining people on the shore have understood what happened.
The officers and soldiers must have deliberately used Wang Zhi's banner, and then Xu Dong and Baldy Li fell into the trap.
Wang Zhi also regretted a little. After learning the news that Shuangyu Island had been captured, he stopped taking Xu Dong and Baldy Li seriously and gave up on equal cooperation. As a result, something big happened.

Looking back now, the news that the army captured Shuangyu Island may have been deliberately made known to me!
Then the official and military ships closely followed Xu Hai who reported the news, deliberately creating misunderstandings without giving him time to react!
But I understand, it’s too late by now! Everyone has easily become prisoners of the army, and even the ability to resist has been lost!
Xu Dong, Baldy Li, and Wang Zhi, all the big leaders who were making waves at sea, were escorted onto the deck in frustration.
It's really frustrating. They were not defeated in an upright manner, but completely lost to conspiracy and conspiracy.
The tall Baldy Li stood firm and refused to kneel, scolding Qin Dewei: "A rat who hides his head and shows his tail is worthy of interrogating me, grandpa!"
Qin Zhongtang waved his hand calmly and said: "I didn't want to interrogate you at first, so I pulled you down and beheaded you!"
Baldy Li yelled like a bachelor: "I'm afraid of you, I've lived for forty years and I've lived enough!"
Qin Zhongtang finally responded: "Someone on Shuangyu Island knows that your two sons are hiding in Fujian. I will reunite your father and son soon."
The soldiers on both sides didn't talk nonsense. They also knew that Qin Zhongtang was not willing to see blood at close range, so they dragged Baldy Li to the shore and cut him in two.
Qin Dewei's eyes turned back, and Xu Dong quickly begged for mercy and said: "I am willing to surrender to Qin Zhongtang and do the work of dogs and horses! From now on, I will be a servant and a slave, and I will have no other intention!"
Qin Dewei waved his hand calmly: "No need, pull him down and behead him!"
Everyone around was speechless, why didn't they even go through the cutscene? Another soldier stepped forward, dragged Xu Dong off the boat to the shore, and cut him in two.
Since their escape from prison in the early years of Jiajing, the two leaders who have traversed the East China Sea for more than ten years and occupied Shuangyu Island have become history unwillingly.
Two of the three leaders have been beheaded. No matter the one who is servile or the one who stiffens his neck to show his strength, all of them are dead, so the pressure is all on the newly arrived Wang Zhi.
"When I was in the Japanese country, I also admired the name of Ming Gong for a long time, but I never got to know Jing until today..."
Wang Zhi racked his brains to search for his lines and spoke in a formal manner. Qin Zhongtang should like this tone, right? It's not enough to pretend to be a tough guy, nor to be humble and petty, then there is no other way but to show off.
Qin Zhongtang laughed a few times, "Haha", "If this is the case, you should surrender directly to this Zhongtang instead of hooking up with Xu and Li here."
Wang Zhi replied: "Haojiao Minggong learned that meeting Xu Li was just a courtesy to meet the householder who lives in the land. I didn't know before that Minggong had the intention to pacify the East China Sea.
I am well versed in maritime affairs and have a lot of manpower. I am willing to be the pioneer of Ming Gong and conquer the thousands of miles of waves from Japan to Nanyang!
Ming Gong only needs to sit on the land, and I will work hard in the East China Sea!"
Qin Zhongtang still waved his hand calmly: "Pull him down and behead him!"
Wang Zhi: "..."
What is going on? Is Qin Dewei losing his mind and going crazy? He is not guilty of escaping from prison and killing someone like Xu Li!
Several soldiers stood up again and dragged Wang Zhi ashore. Until the sword came, Wang Zhi still seemed unable to believe that he was about to be beheaded, and then he was still cut in two.
Qin Zhongtang's sword was too fast. In the blink of an eye, all the three major tycoons, old and new, were killed. The sea map hegemony outlined in the two days of negotiations was in vain.
Xu Weixue wanted to say something, but closed his mouth again.
But Qin Zhongtang looked at Xu Weixue and asked, "If you think about it again, who else can hinder you?"
Xu Weixue stuttered a little and replied: "No, no more, probably no more."
Qin Zhongtang seemed to be encouraging and said: "Now the bandits in the East China Sea are leaderless. It's time for you to rise up."
Then he pointed to the corpse on the shore: "Your leader Wang Zhi had a conflict with the two thieves Xu and Li, and unfortunately died, isn't that so?"
Xu Weixue replied like a clay puppet: "That's right."
Qin Zhongtang continued: "So you have to tell Wang Zhiyu about this. They must rely on you to continue to make money. After all, you have controlled Shuangyu Island, isn't that right?"
Xu Weixue also continued to answer: "That's right."
Qin Zhongtang looked at the prisoners on the shore and said: "It's about the truth about Wang Zhi's death. There are a lot of insiders who shouldn't know. If it is spread randomly, it will have a bad influence on you. What should I do?"
Xu Weixue was silent for a moment, and then replied: "Then let them not say anything."
Qin Zhongtang waved his hand calmly: "Since you understand, let's do it now."
Xu Weixue smiled bitterly. When did he start to become like this step by step?
Many of these "insiders" who need to be eliminated are people who were brothers to me in the past!
Now that things have happened, except to follow Qin Zhongtang all the way to the dark side, there is no way to look back!
Let’s face it, he, Xu Weixue, is an unfaithful and unjust villain who seeks glory against the Lord!
The affairs on Lieyu were almost taken care of, so Qin Zhongtang ordered to stay here overnight and return to Shuangyu Island tomorrow morning.
Until now, the main stage of the military operation against the Shuangyu Island forces that Qin Zhongtang had planned for half a year has been completely concluded.
The result was perfect. They basically wiped out all the "bandits" and beheaded 1,500 people. They also shot rabbits with straw and strangled Wang Zhi's power, which had not yet reached its peak, and beheaded hundreds of people, totaling 2,000 people.
If reported to the imperial court, this time it can be claimed to be a great victory.
It was in the subconscious mind of everyone in the imperial court that the heads of pirates were not as valuable as those of northern pirates, and could not be compared with the last victory at Toyosu Beach.
As for his own rewards, Qin Zhongtang is not too concerned about it. First, the imperial court has almost no awards and no expectations;
Second, after all, his main business is fighting Japanese wars, and he has not yet achieved outstanding results, so the court will naturally not give him a heavyweight reward.
On the way back to Shuangyu Island from Lieyu Island, Xu Shi'an said with a little pity: "Then Wang Zhi seems to be a hero, why should I just kill him? Isn't it good to keep him for your use?"
Qin Dewei chuckled and said mockingly: "Have you read too much Water Margin, or have you listened too much to Wagang Village? Are you still acting like a hero?
Remember your identity and mine. I, Qin Dewei, don’t need such heroes!
I can't give a hero like him what he wants, and what I can give can't be better than what he has now. If letting him go would mean letting the tiger go back to the mountain, then why keep him alive?"
Xu Laosan sighed: "It sounds like Wang Zhi would still have a way to survive if he were a relatively mediocre person. Pretending to be cool in front of you will only harm him."
Qin Dewei praised: "Mr. Xu has made great progress again. He didn't bring you out to see the world in vain. But don't fool around with Mrs. Fan anymore, be careful of getting poisoned!"
