Mr. Taipan knew that he would not escape death today. After all, he was Huang Chen's father-killing enemy. Instead of falling into the hands of his enemy and being tortured to death, it would be better to end it on his own. After making some pretentious and generous remarks, Mr. Taipan
He committed suicide on the spot. The pirates under his command looked stupid, and he died simply, but what should they do?
"..." Huang Chen saw the top class old man's body weighing more than ten pounds falling heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust, and couldn't help but feel physically and mentally comfortable. His mother never said words of revenge to him, but he knew that she was always thinking about her.
In my heart, I didn't mention it because I didn't want him to be in danger. Now that Mr. Taipan has given him the title, Father Huang's soul can rest in peace in heaven. It can be regarded as a piece of my grandmother's heart.
Zhang Xing looked at Huang Chen and made a knife with his hand across the side of his neck. Huang Chen understood what he meant and slowly shook his head. He had no intention of killing everyone from the beginning. How can there be an airtight wall in the world? Even if the Taipan Lao was killed
Even if all his subordinates and even the people were killed, there was no guarantee that the news would not be leaked from his side. Besides, Huang Chen was not afraid of Zhou Lao learning about it. Anyway, the two sides would have a battle sooner or later. The leader of the alliance, Zheng Zhilong, was not a problem. Huang Chen refused to admit it. Who could
Can he be convicted? Besides, it is in Zheng Zhilong's interest for the two of them to conflict. Even if he favors Huang Chen, he won't be surprised. Zhou Lao's strength is second only to Zheng Zhilong.
Huang Chen put up the slogan "Surport and avoid death", and the senior team members were ecstatic to survive the desperate situation. Although they doubted whether Huang Chen's move was intentional to trick them into giving up resistance, this was their only chance to survive and it was worth a gamble.
The thieves discarded their weapons and surrendered, praying that the other party would keep their word. As a result, their bet was right. Huang Fang only took away the weapons and did not kill anyone.
This battle is a long story, but in fact it only lasted a moment. Huang Chen called for a small leader under the big squad to inquire. As expected, there were indeed officers and soldiers behind them, so he immediately sent out sentries to investigate.
During this period, the people got up one after another, and just now they were the backs of both sides, with more or less injuries on their bodies. However, they were lucky. Some people had their limbs trampled and broken, moaning and wailing. Some people were even more unlucky, and went directly to the underworld to see the King of Hell.
.Huang Chen did what he should do and what he shouldn't do, and tried his best, otherwise the number of casualties among the people would never be more than this. But seeing the miserable situation of the people, he still felt a little unhappy in his heart, and signaled to several of his doctors.
After seeing your own people, you can treat the people by the way.
Zhang Ruozhong was lying on his side on the ground. He looked like a handsome young man before, but now he looked like a beggar. In fact, he was very lucky. He only had a few scratches on his body and was just pretending to be injured. He judged that the pirates would not be willing to carry him with him.
The person who was seriously injured, unfortunately, it backfired. The other party soon gave him another "big surprise". The pirates would actually look after the injuries of the common people. Naturally, he couldn't pretend anymore. In the past, if someone had told him that the pirates cared about the lives of the common people, during the battle,
He reminded them to avoid danger and treated their injuries after the war. Zhang Ruozhong must have ten thousand people who didn't believe it, but the reality is so absurd.
Zhang Ruozhong patted the dirt on his body and stood up, looking at Huang Chen who was like a star holding the moon, his eyes full of curiosity. This group of people seemed to be shrouded in many secrets. In addition to the various clothes, nearly half of them were barefoot.
There is an obvious pirate style, but nothing is similar. The firearms and equipment are well-equipped, the people are energetic, the formation is rigorous, and the discipline is strict... They are more like officers and soldiers than officers and soldiers. What surprised Zhang Ruozhong most was how old the opponent's leader was.
Young, barely a few years older than him.
You can count the number of heroes with the surname Huang on the sea on one hand. The most famous one is undoubtedly Huang Xunchong. However, he was arrested by the government at the end of last year and is currently in jail. The rest, Huang Jinlao, Huang Yuanlao and others are all mediocre people.
I just heard Taipan Lao shouting. This man is nicknamed Huang Liu. I have never heard of such a name in the sea. Could it be that he is from Zhejiang? Zhang Ruozhong secretly guessed. He was kidnapped yesterday. One day is enough for him to understand many things, such as Taipan Lao's subordinates.
The big pirate Zhou Lao was seeking a living in Dachen Mountain, Zhejiang Province, and there were many Zhejiang people in his team. This man had a personal grudge with Taipan Lao, so maybe he was from Zhejiang...
Soon the sentinel came back and said that there were about 700 or 800 officers and soldiers, 60% to 70% of the rural soldiers, and 30 to 40% of the officers and soldiers. Because they were lightly armed to pursue the enemy, they did not carry heavy artillery, but only some French guns, which were powerful and could destroy the captives in an instant.
Another cavalry report found traces of officers and soldiers on the east bank of the river, but the exact number was unknown.
Huang Chen nodded calmly, not surprised at all. He had already learned from Taipan's old subordinates that Zhangpu had received help from Zhongzuo today. He defeated Zhou Zhou and others in one fell swoop and launched a full-scale counterattack. The total force was as many as two to three thousand. Huang Chen
Chen also did not dare to take it lightly. In order to fight with all his strength, he allocated a team of 100 people to escort the prisoners back to Tongshan first.
Under the command line, the opponent to the north was vaguely visible. Huang Chen sat safely on his horse and calmly peered through the copper monocular telescope. Six or seven five-color flags were erected in the noisy team. One of the big flags read: "Left
There are several small flags saying "The first team of left-chosen forwards", "The second team of left-chosen forwards", "The third team of left-chosen forwards"... There is also a big flag hanging the name of the center left.
"Get ready for war." Huang Chen said calmly.
Before leaving, Zhang Ruozhong looked back and stared at Huang Chen for a long time, until the pirate beside him raised his whip and urged him. Back to the village, the north was already shouting for death, and people with serious injuries and fractures were left behind. Countless people were heartbroken about this. Why?
He was not injured. Zhang Ruozhong reluctantly twitched his lips. Why did he not expect that the officers and soldiers were approaching? The other doctors must not have had time to check all the injured people.
Zhang Ruozhong couldn't remember how long he had walked. When the team stopped, the red sun had lost its edge and sank to the sea level like a pearl. From here they would take a boat to Tongshan. It can't be said whether it was fortunate or unfortunate that Zhang Ruozhong became the first
A group of people boarded the ship.
Zhang Ruozhong is a person who takes things easy and takes things easy. He knows that there is no point in being anxious. He takes things as they come. Compared to a man with a sad face, he enjoys the Tongshan Bay at dusk with great interest. He has never been to Tongshan before and has heard about it.
There are "Eighteen Wonders", which attract many elegant and elegant people from Fujian to visit.
Gradually, Zhang Ruozhong surrendered his sights to Tongshan Port. There were two to three hundred ships of various sizes parked in the harbor. He was shocked and had a new understanding of the so-called pirates. Are the Fujian officers and soldiers capable of defeating them?
There was a sudden tremor in the hull, and the ship reached the shore.
Zhang Ruozhong jumped onto Kou'ao along the boat plank, and found that the person greeting him was actually a handsome young monk dressed in yellow.
Zhang Yunlong also looked at Zhang Ruozhong curiously. The latter looked embarrassed, but in fact he was dressed in a very orderly manner. With his extraordinary aura and outstanding appearance, he could tell at a glance that he was not from an ordinary family.
Zhang Ruozhong was the first to clasp his fists and said, "What do you call the little benefactor?"
Zhang Yunlong touched his bald head and replied: "I have not yet received the ordination. My surname is Zhang and my name is Yunlong. I am from Zhao'an."
"Oh, it turns out we are brothers." Zhang Ruozhong said with a hint of surprise: "My surname is Zhang Ruozhong, from Zhangpu." People with the same surname have been calling each other family instead of surname since ancient times, but they mostly refer to the same clan and clan. After the middle and late Ming Dynasty,
It is becoming more and more common that anyone with the same surname will be called a family. Although the Zhang family in Zhao'an and the Zhang family in Zhangpu have the same ancestor, they have never had any contact with each other, so it is not surprising that they do not know each other.
Zhang Yunlong was delighted to meet people from the same family and similar age, and asked: "I was born in the 41st year of Wanli, and I just turned fifteen this year. How old are my brothers?"
Zhang Ruozhong smiled and replied: "I was born in the 40th year of Wanli, and I am one year older than you."
"Brother, please bow to me." Zhang Yunlong nodded and bowed.
Zhang Ruozhong helped him up and asked, "How could my brother end up here?"
Zhang Yunlong smiled bitterly and said: "It's no different from my elder brother. My younger brother left home to practice Buddhism more than ten days ago. He was kidnapped here before he left Shao'an."
