Chapter 115: The Fujian Rebellion (2)
Han Lingshan sat on the reef worriedly and looked at the fishermen coming and going and the pirates carrying various weapons.
They get along very well.
Pirates who are talked about in other places are like heroes here. They happily talk to the fishermen, buy and sell things, and there are even a large group of fishermen gathered around one who looks like a local. The pirate listened to him tell about his experiences at sea.
The story is cruel, even inhumane.
This pirate with a vicissitudes of life told in the most proud tone the life they lived as masters in Fusang Kingdom, and also how they established their business in Taiwan through all kinds of difficulties, and followed it to everyone. Bragging about how they dealt with those strange red-haired men and women after they robbed the Western cargo ship.
There are countless spices and countless rare treasures on the distant islands, and these things are occupied by the black monkey-like savages there... One is only surrounded by the crotch. The dirty savage who looks like a leaf actually has a red gem the size of a pigeon egg hanging around his neck...
"As long as you have the courage, you can make a fortune!"
This is the one The pirate's last words.
It was these words that made Han Lingshan feel that those young fishermen who were ready to take action had already begun to think of going to sea with them to become pirates.
It can be seen that Zheng Zhilong is very respected by the fishermen.
Han Lingshan’s footsteps are almost all over Humen Beach.
While looking around, he discovered many interesting phenomena.
There are people who admire Zheng Zhilong here, and there seem to be many people who hate Zheng Zhilong.
He even found seven or eight big men disguised as fishermen armed with sharp knives. A stall owner selling food under the coconut grove didn't seem to be right until Han Lingshan had a plate of fish here. After the delicious oyster omelette, he was sure that the couple were also killers and crossbowmen.
After discovering this phenomenon, Han Lingshan has been thinking about how to make use of these people.
Zheng Zhilong comes to Zhengzhi Tiger Temple every year not only to worship his younger brother, but also has a more important thing to do - to make friends with local merchants, officials and maritime thieves in Guangzhou.
Until now, the "Eighteen Zhi" is still a loose pirate alliance rather than a whole. Because of this, he needs to spend a lot of time and energy to win over these people.
For a hero, who is not a person who has experienced hundreds of battles? He will usually persist in completing the goals he sets. It is impossible to hide away just because of a small assassination. .
If he does this, it will completely expose the fact that he is timid.
No one would like to follow a coward, especially pirates. To make a living on the sea, they not only have to face wind and waves, but also deal with various hardships and emergencies that may occur at any time.
At noon, the market here is still very lively, and the sacrifices at Zhengzhi Tiger Temple are almost ready. Roast pigs, incense sticks, yellow and white quilts, and the man playing the trumpet has finished his plaintive and lingering tone and started Blow a festive note.
Pirates also began to clear the open space in front of the temple.
It’s time for Zheng Zhilong to come.
This is very unusual. According to the previous rules, Zheng Zhilong would come to sacrifice his brother at night. Now, according to the process, the sacrifice will end in the evening at most.
The ebb and flow of the tide are closely related to the changes of the moon. Today is the second day of the lunar month. The peak of the tide rise will be at noon. After noon, the ebb tide will begin for three hours. Process.
If you want to make a surprise attack, it is difficult to reach the shore at low tide.
After careful consideration and weighing Zheng Zhilong's temperament, Han Lingshan decided to postpone Zheng Zhilong's time to pay homage to his brother until night.
A drunken pirate staggered to the coconut grove. Han Lingshan followed him casually. After a while, he walked out of the coconut grove and continued to lean on the rocks to wait for Zheng Zhilong's arrival.
While waiting for Zheng Zhilong, Han Lingshan took five shots in total.
When the sun set in the west, someone finally discovered something was wrong - a pirate corpse appeared on the side door of Zhengzhi Tiger Temple, blocked by a yellow curtain. If there is blood, no one will find a dead person on it.
The dead man’s name was Chen Xia.
This is the name he heard while watching the excitement. The pirate died very quietly, and the expression on his face was also very calm, but his chest was carved with a knife. Blood debt must be repaid with blood.
When he saw those four big characters, Han Lingshan felt a little ashamed. The four characters were written with no sense of beauty.
After the first body was discovered, the remaining four bodies were soon discovered.
These five people died peacefully, all killed with one hit.
The pirates finally started to get nervous.
The preparations for the sacrifice were stopped and began to look for the murderer in the crowd.
It’s strange that they don’t look at people’s faces when looking at them, but they look at each person’s feet. Those wearing shoes were pushed aside, while those without shoes carefully observed their feet. After that, another group of people appeared. was taken out.
Han Lingshan’s feet were also carefully looked at. The pirates drove him and a group of fishermen to another place and ignored them.
Han Lingshan’s feet were covered with thick calluses, as black as old tree stumps, and his toes were spread wide apart, just like other fishermen’s feet.
He skillfully talked to the local fishermen in local dialect. Everyone was guessing who killed the five pirates. However, the fishermen agreed that the thieves had run away long ago. After the official arrives, he will give an explanation to these people sooner or later.
Sure enough, not long after, Zheng ZhilongIt's coming.
Han Lingshan has seen the photo of this guy countless times. He recognized him from the crowd at the first sight. He thought that this man was not tall, but he walked like a tiger. After arriving at Zhengzhi Tiger Temple, Han Lingshan frowned.
This person is not Zheng Zhilong!
It's not that this man's appearance is wrong, but that the guards around him are wrong.
Yun Zhao is considered the least courageous among the heroes of the Ming Dynasty. He seems to be unprepared when he travels, but in fact, there is never a lack of guards around him.
These guards are either in the crowd or right next to Yun Zhao. As long as they appear next to Yun Zhao, they will definitely block Yun Zhao with their bodies. Not only that, they can't separate Yun Zhao from him. Separate targets who want to get close, and also pay attention to Yun Zhao's majesty from being violated.
Being the guardian of a noble person is a skill and skill that tests your wisdom.
Yun Zhao's escort team gradually matured after being tested by countless raids by students from Yushan Academy.
Although Zheng Zhilong was surrounded by many guards, Han Lingshan was able to find no less than six loopholes for assassination in a short period of time.
Now that he had discovered the loophole, Han Lingshan would not miss it. A grenade spontaneously ignited in his sleeve. After he counted three times gently, he took advantage of the opportunity for everyone to cheer for Zheng Zhilong. The grenade was thrown out quietly.
The grenade flew extremely fast. After flying out of the gap between everyone's bodies, it hit Zheng Zhilong directly. Zheng Zhilong reacted quickly and reached out to catch the grenade that was about to explode. He didn't have time to take a closer look at his hand. As soon as the fire flashed before his eyes, his body was violently thrown out, and the hand and arm holding the grenade had long since turned into a cloud of blood.
The loud noise made by the grenade made everyone stunned for a moment. Soon, the originally lively scene suddenly became chaotic, especially the guards who were at the center of the explosion. They were all blown up one by one. Staggering around, his body was covered with grenade fragments, and he screamed in agony.
The moment Han Lingshan threw the grenade, he left where he was.
The big men disguised as fishermen who had been driven aside by the pirates and had not had time to search, at this time, with a shout, chopped down the pirates guarding them, and quickly landed towards Zheng Zhilong. Rush over to the place.
Han Lingshan slowly retreated with the panicked fishermen. The fishermen took a few steps back and found a large bundle of bamboo pennies. Somehow, Han Lingshan also got one in his hand. , these people, led by an old fisherman, waved their pennies and killed the assassins.
Zheng Zhilong's subordinates were seriously injured by the grenades. Each of them was seriously injured. Even one or two of them were slightly injured. They were shaken by the sound of the grenade explosion and barely faced the enemy.
Han Lingshan saw that these people were busy fighting the assassins, but no one paid attention to Zheng Zhilong, who was covered in blood and did not know whether he was alive or dead.I am becoming more and more certain that this is a Xibei product.
There is not much difference between a bamboo pole with an iron hook and a spear. Han Lingshan crowded together with these fishermen and approached the thieves with the bamboo pole while shouting loudly to embolden himself.
A crossbow arrow shot out from nowhere and shot down the old fisherman who was the leader. Only then did the old fisherman let out a scream. Han Lingshan immediately dropped his pennant and ran away.
In fact, there were many people running faster than him. After running far away, they stopped and stretched their necks with everyone to look at the head of Zheng Zhilong, an assassin who was about to fall to the ground. Cut it down.
As a result, everyone accused each other of being cowardly, and one official had his head chopped off under the fisherman’s nose.
There were even people crying, but they did not continue to fight.
"I also prepared a large grouper that I wanted to treat an official to eat..."
Han Lingshan even burst into tears, making people feel that he was very pitiful.
A swarthy man looked at Han Lingshan and said: "Send it to me later."
Han Lingshan said angrily: "The Yan family shovels, let others find out your stupidity. People eat shit, this is for an official."
Hearing this, the swarthy man laughed loudly and said, "Throw it at Lu Shei, and arrow at Lu Yu."
After that, he pulled out the long knife from his waist and strode towards the assassins who were about to escape. Behind him were six or seven equally stout men. Unknowingly, these people actually formed a front. Array.
Han Lingshan looked at these people and nodded with satisfaction: "This is what a boss should look like."
