"Bang!" There was a gunshot, and the bullet casings with residual heat immediately fell to the deck.
"Good marksmanship!" Several people around him cheered in unison. On the Tongan boat not far away, the wind-fixing flag on the top of the stern mast was knocked down with one shot.
The Thor was still too big and failed to stop the Tongan ship in front several times. Zhao Xinxin thought that if there was a patrol boat, everything would have been over long ago. At this time, he held up the telescope and suddenly said in surprise: "Huh? Why is the foremast tip on the other side?"
Flying a Dutch flag?"
Ding Guofeng looked through the sight and saw the red, white and blue flag on the tip of the foremast, so he asked: "Zheng Yi, do you know what that flag is about? The civilian ships of the Qing Dynasty still have
Want to fly the Dutch flag?”
Zheng Yi, who was standing behind him and looking up, hurriedly explained: "Sir, that is indeed the flag of the red-haired ghost. I heard from my father that in the past, the red-haired ghost's ship was tall and big, and the artillery was powerful, so the ships along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong
Merchant ships all fly the red-haired man's flag to scare others."
At this time, the sky was bright. Zhao Xin had observed through the telescope and saw a familiar face on the Tongan ship. He then decided to capture the ship, capture the "old acquaintance", and find out why the Qing army went crazy with convulsions.
Like attacking him.
"Bang!" Ding Guofeng fired again. The fixed-wind flag on the mainmast was still fluttering, but he missed.
On the Tongan boat, Vice Admiral Shi, Li Dagang, Taoist Master Ma and others who were hiding under the stern tent were startled by the gunshots behind them. Vice Admiral Shi almost cried and shouted in despair: "Stop fighting! Come on!"
Is it over yet?!”
The sail of the stern mast, the canopy on the deck (used to hold the lowered sail, like a door; after the sail is lowered, it does not prevent people from walking on the deck), the toilet cupboard outside the left side of the ship, and the worship tent at the stern.
It had been beaten to pieces by heavy machine guns, but the Mazu niche in the worship shed was miraculously not damaged and was moved to the front cabin by the sailors on the ship.
Li Dagang was so angry that he drew his knife several times and shouted loudly to stop the boat and fight. But he was persuaded by Daoist Master Ma. Li Dagang knew that the more than 100 people on his boat were no match for Beihai Town. They would kill them with a quick shot.
He could kill his own side to pieces. But he couldn't stand being "teasing" like this, and Li Dagang never wanted to be a prisoner again.
Under Vice Admiral Shi's indiscriminate urging, the sailors on the Tong'an ship relied on their only foresail and mainsail, lowered the stern rudder stock into deep water, and quickly fled toward the southeast.
"Yeah! He's running pretty fast!" Zhao Xin said in surprise, and then shouted with a walkie-talkie: "Old Liu, follow up and bite them! Over."
Liu Sheng's reply came from the walkie-talkie: "Don't worry!"
After a while, Liu Sheng's loud voice came from the loudspeaker of the Thor: "Qing troops on the wooden boat, listen! You can't escape! Stop the boat and surrender as soon as possible. We won't kill the prisoners!"
Li Dagang said in his heart that you don't want to kill the prisoners, but you need a ransom! Before, he asked someone to ask for an official, and all his belongings were only five hundred taels of silver. If he pays a ransom again, he will have to drink the northwest wind! Besides, he will be shot.
He was not afraid, as he would probably die; but the electric baton in Beihai Town had left a heavy shadow on his heart.
Vice General Shi also learned from Li Dagang that Beihai Town prefers to pay a ransom to release people. He thought that if he was captured and asked the court to pay a ransom, he would not be able to chop off a few heads, so he did not want to surrender. Since the other party did not use fast artillery.
If you shoot yourself, you still have a few chances. What if those people get tired of chasing you?
In this cat-and-mouse chase, the two boats were getting closer and closer to Wailingding Island.
Shen Xuan woke up very early. Ever since she knew that she was not far away from Zhao Xin, she became more and more anxious and couldn't sleep well all night. When she got up, Chen Erya was holding the quilt and talking in her sleep: "The crab is really Delicious~~”
As for seasickness, you get used to it after vomiting, and you gradually get used to seasickness. So after Chen Erya recovered, he started to eat so much that he wished he could eat back all the food he had wasted these days. In Nan'ao When they stopped at the island, Shen Jingdan bought some fresh seafood. Chen Erya, who had never eaten crabs before, killed five of them by himself. If Chen Jishan hadn't stopped them, this girl could have eaten ten.
There were not many people on the deck of the fortune ship at this time. Except for the sailors who climbed up the mainmast to repair the pulley, several other sailors were smoking cigarettes and talking in low voices on the bow. Shen Jingdan spent a lot of money, so the sailors paid a lot of attention to Shen Jingdan. Jing Dan and others were very polite. When they saw Shen Xuan walking on the deck, they all smiled and nodded in greeting.
A few seagulls looking for food passed by the bow of the ship and screamed. Waves surged up on the sea surface at dawn, hitting the ship's hull and rocks, making bursts of sound.
Shen Xuan walked to the side of the ship, thinking about what Shen Jingdan told her.
"Ah Quan, after meeting Zhao Xin this time, you must persuade him not to run around anymore. At present, the two places in Beihai Town have tens of thousands of people, but they are all relying on him to maintain them. If something happens to him, don't Talking about the life and death of those refugees, our family is also in danger."
Shen Xuan quite agreed with these words. When she was sent to Shen Jingdan's house by her father at the age of nine, she was already sensible. Although Shen Jingdan and his wife treated her very well, Shen Xuan knew that she was a lonely person without a home. .Although she is usually taciturn, she has great ideas in her heart.
For Zhao Xin, she is actually more grateful than loving. But for women of this era, it is difficult to distinguish between these two emotions. Shen Xuan has lived in seclusion for many years and has read many miscellaneous books. What she thinks about is a talented man matching a beautiful woman. The future husband must be a good man, but who would have known that he would meet such a weirdo as Zhao Xin.
However, Zhao Xin was very kind to her and did not dislike Shen Xuan's talents. However, the two of them could not see each other from time to time, and they were separated for several days or even more than ten days. Shen Xuan also knew that a man must make contributions and Zhao Xin must serve his subordinates. She has to work hard to make a living for tens of thousands of people. But the problem is that she needs someone to rely on so that she doesn't feel lonely.
Oginoto once advised her: "Zhao Xin is already very good. Look at the girls brought back from Jiangnan, which one is not stunning? Especially Tang Xiao and Ertang, if anything happens, just go to him. , but I heard that he has always been polite, what is his name, yes, keep a distance. Men, they just have to be busy. Look at your adoptive father, he used to leave for half a year, why didn’t I wait so hard? Don’t think too much."
In this inexplicable emotion, coupled with Shen Jingdan's encouragement, she and Zhao Xin got engaged. But the incident that happened to the jade pendant made Shen Xuan's heart rise again. What if Zhao Xin got involved? Once the problem is over, what will you do next?
While thinking wildly, Shen Xuan suddenly heard someone beside her say: "Hey? A boat is coming."
As soon as he said this, the sailor at the top of the mast suddenly shouted: "Mom! What is that?!"
Shen Xuan curiously walked to the other side of the ship and looked north along the direction of a sailor. She saw a tall wooden boat emerging from the north side of the island, but then, a white and blue giant boat appeared on the bow. Then it emerged, and on the outside of the bow, the word "Thunder God" stood out.
"Dad! Brother Lu! Come quickly!" Shen Xuan shouted excitedly to the bottom of the deck. The person she had been longing for appeared just like that. At this time, several sailors on the deck heard Shen Xuan suddenly changed She had the tone of a young woman, thinking, "Oh my God! This young man is actually a woman pretending to be a woman!"
On the Tong'an boat, Vice General Shi and Li Dagang also saw the lucky ship in the distance. Vice General Shi rolled his eyes and asked Li Dagang: "Li Guard, from what you have seen in the past, how do those monsters treat the people?"
Li Dagang thought for a while and already understood what Vice General Shi was going to do, so he said: "Qiu has no fault."
"Great!" Vice General Shi punched the palm of his hand and ordered the sailors on the ship: "Quick! Come closer! Quick, quick, quick!"
Liu Sheng in the cockpit also saw the lucky boat parked in the distance. When he saw the Tong'an boat heading towards the lucky boat, he thought something was going to happen, so he shouted through the loudspeaker: "That boat in the distance! Get out of the way quickly!"
The Fu boat was already in a mess. The sailors were not afraid of the approaching Tongan boat, but were frightened by the approaching white ship. As the bell rang rapidly, the sailors on the deck were raising the boat. Anchor, release the driver (windlass) and lower the sail.
Hu Chuantou shouted urgently: "Hurry up!"
"Slow down!" Shen Jingdan came over, patted Hu Chuantou on the shoulder and said, "Old Hu, please believe me again, we won't move!"
"What?" Hu Chuantou was stunned, pointing to the approaching white ship and saying to Shen Jingdan: "Mr. Shen, the monster is here! What are we waiting for if we don't run away?!"
Shen Jingdan said with a smile on his face: "That's not a monster, that's one of ours!"
"That ship in front! Don't raise the sail! We are from the Xiangshan Associated Navy Battalion, and we need to board the ship for inspection!" A Qing soldier shouted with a loud voice. On the deck, Vice Admiral Shi ordered more than a hundred of his men: "I'll get on the lucky boat soon and take everyone down for me! No killing!"
The calligrapher from the Governor's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi said: "Master Shi, what are you doing?"
Vice Admiral Shi said with a ferocious smile: "I'm going to make the traitors use rat weapons, and let the people on the lucky boat block the cannons for us! With these hostages, we can at most give some money in exchange for freedom. After we return to the camp, we'll wait for everyone Thirty taels of silver reward!" After explaining, he said to his subordinates: "Do you understand everything?!"
Qing Army No. 100 said quickly: "I will obey the military order!"
The clerk looked pale and said, "Is this possible?"
Vice General Shi gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Sun, this is all we can do for now. Give it a try!"
When Tong'an's boat approached Fu's boat, Shui Yong of the Qing army on the boat immediately lowered the sail and threw a few flying hooks, hooking the side of Fu's boat. But who knew that Fu's boat from the other side also threw a few ropes? This greatly surprised Shui Yong of the Qing army, but they didn't think about it anymore and hurriedly tied the rope tightly.
On the Tong'an ship, several sailors turned the crew, and the heavy wooden anchorage immediately slipped from the bow of the ship into the water. Two Qing soldiers came to the Narcissus Gate and removed the closed wooden boards one by one. (Darcissus Gate, on the deck of an ancient sailing ship. Exit for transporting goods and people.)
The narcissus door on the Fu boat had already been opened, and a thick cedar board stretched out from the Fu boat. The Qing army seemed extremely satisfied with the cooperation of the Fu boat. When they pulled out the last board, the springboard suddenly moved forward. It jumped out and stood firmly between the two ships.
Several sword-wielding Qing soldiers were about to step onto the gangplank when a few figures suddenly appeared from behind the side of the Fuzhou ship opposite, holding a "short gun" in each hand. Faced with the sudden change, the Qing soldiers on the Tong'an ship were stunned.
I thought so fast that I thought I had encountered pirates who were robbing my house. Vice General Shi was one of them. He pointed at the opposite side and cursed: "Do you want to die?!"
In the blink of an eye, Li Dagang saw a very familiar face among the people standing on the opposite side. He had tried to escape from the labor camp in Beihai Town several times, and every time he was captured after that, it was this person who was responsible for the interrogation.
torture.
"Ru, Lu"
Before Li Dagang could say anything, he heard someone on the opposite boat shout: "Fire!"
"Boom! Boom!." More than a dozen .36-caliber conical lead bullets were fired at the Qing troops on the opposite deck. Amidst the smoke, the Qing troops on the Tong'an ship were caught off guard. Seven or eight people were shot to death. They were still full of hope.
The Qing army suddenly fell into hell!
The Type 84 revolver needs to manually move the hammer every time it fires. However, several well-trained Beihai Town intelligence team members are like the western rangers of later generations. They hold the gun against their sides, quickly move the hammer with their left hand, and move the hammer with their right hand.
He pulled the trigger without stopping, and the six bullets in the magazine were all gone in the blink of an eye, like splashing water.
The Qing troops on the Tong'an ship were about to untie the binding ropes when they heard a shout from the other side: "Kill them! Don't let them escape!"
A dozen men armed with daggers and wooden clubs shouted and stood up. They quickly rushed up the gangplank and in a few steps reached the deck of the Tong'an ship. They beat the Qing troops who were dodging fire around them, and a scream suddenly sounded from the deck.
.
On the Thor, Zhao Xin and others stared dumbfounded at the scene not far away. When he heard the gunfire of the Type 84 revolver, he hurriedly raised his telescope to check. Finally, he saw Lu Shoushan who was directing the charge on the Fu ship.
Zhao Xin didn't bother to use the walkie-talkie to notify Liu Sheng. He put his hands together and shouted at Fu Chuan: "Lu Shoushan, catch him alive!"
Li Dagang's heart felt so cold at this moment! In order not to be taken prisoner, he raised his knife and joined in the melee.
It is said that Master Li is a martial artist, and his martial arts skills have been cultivated since childhood. As soon as they fought, two of Lu Shoushan's masters were hit by swords. Li Dagang thought that even if he died today, he would drag the guy named Lu with him.
be made a scapegoat!
At this moment, a figure holding a long stick jumped up from the springboard. On one side of the man's body in the air, a stick as tall as one person was thrust at Li Dagang's shoulder.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Li Dagang dwarfed his body, rolled forward, and hid behind the side of the ship. As soon as the man opposite had his feet on the ground, the shadow of his stick twisted and hit a CEO Qian's neck.
passed.
The person who came here was none other than Chen Jishan. He had been practicing martial arts since he was a child. He was taught by the "Magic Boxer" Guo Yongfu, and he practiced good kung fu, especially "Tai Chi Changquan". In later generations, some people verified that the "Magic Boxer" Guo Yongfu during the Qianlong period was Chen Jishan.
Chen Youfu, the descendant of Tai Chi, changed his mother's surname and fled to Shanxi because he accidentally killed someone when he was young. The "Tai Chi Changquan" that was lost in Chenjiagou is the "Hongdong Tongbei Fist".
Guo Yongfu probably never imagined that he would be given the title of "Sacred Fist" by Qianlong, but his disciples would go to work under the "rebels".
President Qian on the opposite side saw the shadow of the stick coming, and shouted: "Well done!" Then he raised his knife to block. Unexpectedly, the stick looked slow, but in fact it was very fast. It grazed President Qian's blade and "snap"
With a bang, Mr. Qian’s neck was broken instantly!
When Li Dagang saw it, he thought he was in trouble! He had met a master. Just as he was about to get up, a short knife hit him in the head and stabbed him. Li Dagang blocked it with his knife, and kicked the opponent's ankle hard with his right foot.
There was a "click", and the man holding the knife fell to the ground with a groan.
After Chen Jishan took care of Mr. Qian, he kept thrusting out the fir stick in his hand. Three or five Qing soldiers were hit in the abdomen. They were so painful that they were sweating and couldn't shout. Li Dagang took advantage of no one's attention and had already reached the springboard.
He jumped onto the springboard and was about to rush to the opposite side when Chen Jishan's stick that followed him came after him again. This time Li Dagang had no time to turn around and was stabbed in the back by the stick. He fell forward with a groan.
He struggled to get up again, but suddenly his body sank, and several people jumped on him one after another, making him unable to move.
Vice Admiral Shi, who was standing under the stern tent with a knife, was in a state of shock, while the calligrapher Zan Hua, who was hiding behind him, was frightened out of his mind.
Several Qing soldiers on the Tong'an boat stood behind the crowd. They raised the three-eyed blunderbuss in their hands, and when they were about to twist the medicine with the match rope, Lu Shoushan, who was on the opposite boat, had sharp eyes and hurriedly attacked those few with his men.
The Qing army fired. But those Qing soldiers were hiding in the crowd and crouched down when they heard the gunshots. However, the dozen or so Qing soldiers outside them were in dire straits. They were shot at randomly.
, there was a scream of misery. The few lucky Qing soldiers were so frightened that they quickly dropped the three-eyed blunderbuss in their hands and knelt on the deck, not daring to move.
Suddenly, "bang bang bang" gunshots sounded like exploding beans, and the fir trees on the main mast were beaten and sawdust flew everywhere. This made all the Qing troops frightened, and the Thor came up!
Lu Shoushan and others held guns in both hands and shouted at the Qing troops on Tong'an's boat: "Surrender! Surrender! Don't kill!"
At this time, the loudspeaker on the ship shouted: "Put down your weapons, if you don't surrender, we will open fire!"
Zhao Xin stood on the bow of the Thor and laughed condescendingly: "Master Li, we meet again!"
