The waves are rushing and the tide is whimpering.
Shi Lang really hoped that these thieves would turn around and kill him, so that it could be delayed for a while.
Unfortunately, no matter how loud he shouted, the thieves could not hear him. Seeing that the three blessing ships were about to leave, Shi Lang used all his strength to push a small boat into the sea, taking a group of people with him. Armed with a penny, an oar, and a knife, he rushed into the sea without hesitation.
In the dark night, Fuchuan did not dare to act like a fool, so he raised a small sail and guided the crosswind to slowly move toward the depths of the sea.
In this battle, Han Lingshan's troops lost 19 people killed, 63 wounded, and two missing.
Not all those who died in battle were killed by Zheng Zhilong’s men, and those who disappeared were not necessarily caused by Zheng Zhilong’s men.
When Han Lingshan was counting the number of people, after listening to the report of the old thief in Yushan, he roughly understood the cause and effect of the matter.
When these people learned that the target of the assassination was Zheng Zhilong, some were timid, some secretly hesitated, and some even wanted to tip off.
The old thief in Yushan has been leading a ragtag group of soldiers for many years, so he naturally has his own way of controlling people.
They don't have enough brains, so the methods they can use are simple and direct - as long as they find someone hesitant, they will immediately kill them.
For this reason, those who died in battle died in battle without any compensation. On the contrary, those who were injured received more rewards. This is the only way the old thieves in Yushan treat these people. A little kindness shown.
The ship bumped to the sea. At this time, a trace of fish belly white appeared on the sea level.
Where there is the sun, there is direction.
The captains of the three ships hoisted full sails at the first opportunity. Under the influence of the sea wind, the lucky ship soared in the direction of the sun like a sharp arrow.
Shi Lang rowed the boat desperately to catch up. No matter how hard he tried, he could only watch the three boats going further and further away in the dark night.
At dawn, he sat sluggishly on the boat. In his field of vision, there were only three sail shadows slowly disappearing into the sun.
Until now, he only knows that those three ships are blessing ships. As for what is different from the other blessing ships, he knows nothing.
One official is dead.
Shi Lang knew that Yiguan was dead from the moment the explosion started.
Before the explosion, he went in and reported to an official - everything was fine!
Shortly after coming out, the explosion started.
At that time, it was the time when Yiguan offered a glass of wine to his brother, hoping that his brother in heaven would keep the Zheng family safe.
Shi Lang fell on his back on the boat, guilt, exhaustion, loss and all kinds of negative emotions filling his chest.
Compared with these negative emotions, the frustration on the battlefield completely shattered Shi Lang's self-confidence.
Previous tenseAt that time, he believed that he would not be afraid of anyone on the sea, even the Dutch, and he could fight them fearlessly.
Last night, he failed, and failed miserably.
If it hadn’t been for the darkness and the cover of the waves, Shi Lang knew that he would not have survived.
He has always thought that he has superior martial arts skills and unparalleled bravery. However, last night, the not tall man in black completely made him understand what true bravery is.
In just one confrontation, he was completely defeated. If he hadn't used his hand to cushion the enemy's final blow, he believed that the knee would have been enough to break his neck.
Now, the reason why Shi Lang felt ashamed was entirely because he couldn't tell whether he was knocked unconscious by the enemy, or whether he was pretending to be unconscious because he was frightened.
If he had been knocked unconscious, then he should not have seen the army of men in black sweeping the beach in his mind, nor should he have seen Zhang Wang holding a sword and failing to fight the enemy. The scene of someone being beaten blind and still fighting back.
Yi Guan died, all the guards died, and he was the only one left alive... Living like this was even more humiliating than dying in battle.
Shibazhi can’t go back.
A small sailboat appeared in his sight. Perhaps it was because his small boat was too far away from the coast, or maybe it was because the small sailboat just lacked such a small sampan. Someone hooked his boat.
A strong man stood on the bow of the boat, and waves of fishy smell came from his crotch. This smell was very familiar to Shi Lang. Anyone who has been at sea for a long time will smell this smell.
The strong man threw a wooden plank from the small sailboat, indicating that Shi Lang could swim ashore holding the plank.
Shi Lang lifted the pennant on the boat, causing the boatmen on the boat to burst into laughter.
Then, Shi Lang inserted the bamboo pennant into the valley of the superior boatman like lightning, just like he did with the assassins yesterday.
Shi Lang yelled and pushed Penny and the strong man out with all his strength, but he grabbed the rope with both hands and climbed onto the small sailboat with a long knife in his mouth.
The boatmen were frightened by this evil man. It was not until Shi Lang jumped on the sailboat that they thought of resisting. Unfortunately, Shi Lang, who was full of shame, wanted most at this time to have a fight. A fight without return.
This time, he fought with great devotion, and wherever the light of the sword touched, blood suddenly appeared!
When he came to his senses, the small sailboat was spinning in circles on the sea.
The deck was filled with corpses.
He dug out a spoonful of water from the wooden bucket and sniffed it. Fortunately, the water had not deteriorated and there were no insects in the water. After drinking half the bucket of water, he Just started cleaning the little sailboat.
The sea was so hot that the corpses could not be left for long. After fixing the oars and trimming the sails, and letting it continue to sail toward the east, he threw the broken corpses into the sea.
The sailboat ran very fast, and Shi Lang didn't care whether there would be any accidents on the boat. He just kept bringing water up from the sea to wash away the blackened blood stains.
Seawater is very effective at washing away blood stains. After a while, the deck will be clean.
He didn't dare to stop what he was doing. As long as he had a moment of free time, the body with its organs torn apart would appear in his mind, as well as Zhang Wang's last desperate roar.
The deck was scrubbed clean by him, and even the accumulated dirt in the past was washed very clean by him with sea water.
After a busy day, fighting against powerful enemies for most of the night, rowing for half of the night, fighting, and working... Finally, Shi Lang's legs went weak and he knelt down. on deck.
In front of us is the vast sea.
Shi Lang knelt on the deck and was speechless, but he sang with a cry...
"The sea water is deep and the rope is there, and the cold weather comes on the fortyth day." .
Hard work, hard work;
I want to die in my life, and think about my family being poor again,
Here again! ”
The voice was hoarse and the singing was not pleasant to listen to, but it spread far across the sea, attracting some white seagulls to fly up and down around his old little sailboat.
Yun Yang gnawed a sweet potato and looked at Yun Zhao secretly.
Yun Zhao sat under the persimmon tree and looked up at the persimmons on the tree that had turned red.
Yun Yang really wanted to hand the sweet potato in his other hand to Yun Zhao, but he was somewhat afraid.
It’s been a long time since he told Yun Zhao clearly about asking for money. However, if he didn’t need money, his Tongguan Army’s expenses were always not enough, so he had to show Yun Zhao his cultivation. The habit of giving money to sweet potatoes.
It looks good so far. At least, when Yun Zhao saw the sweet potato in his hand, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
That’s right.
Yun Yang was actually very angry in his heart. Obviously this guy was always generous when allocating money to various places, but when it came to the army, he seemed to be very stingy.
Obviously, he can give money for a year at a time, but he insists on giving it every three months.
It’s not enough to give it once in March, it’s only about 80%.
The Military Affairs Department has never been in arrears with the salaries of military personnel, and there is no shortage of food and fodder. However, the military's expenses for drills, training, and deployments are always insufficient.
For this matter, he had quarreled with the people from the Military Affairs Department, argued with the people from the Government Affairs Department, and even complained to Yun Zhao. However, not giving extra money to the military seemed to be Lantian's fault. The whole county has a unanimous opinion.
Everyone looks down on soldiers, but the average salary received by soldiers is the highest in Lantian County, and their daily meals are also of the highest quality.
Yun Yang knew that this was a method used by the central government to control the army.
That old slave Yun Fu, that unruly Li Dingguo, and that fellow far away Gao Jie are subjected to suchFetters are a must. Yun Yang doesn't think that as the coach of the Tongguan Army, there is no need to be fettered by money.
Yun Zhao placed two sweet potatoes on his hand, one medium-sized and one small. The medium one represented ten thousand silver dollars and the small one represented five thousand silver dollars. Yun Yang was still hesitating whether to put another one. A small one goes up.
"It's a rule not to give you more money than the limit."
Yun Zhao didn't touch the sweet potatoes and gave Yun Yang a faint look.
"My brothers' training pants are all worn out. It's cool to train with bare buttocks in the summer, but it's cold. I can't embarrass you by training with bare buttocks."
"Why is this always the excuse? Your army has two sets of regular uniforms in winter and summer a year and four sets of training uniforms. If they are still not enough, I will ask your lieutenant general if he has given all the things distributed to the soldiers. Corruption."
Yun Yang quickly waved his hand and said: "No one is really corrupt. The military judge is just watching."
Yun Zhao sneered: "With four legions plus a legion that is about to take shape, you Yun Yang spends the most national money in a year. I know you are covetous of the weapon configuration of Lei Heng legion. I can tell you clearly that the legion formed in the future will be a better one. A powerful one."
Yun Yang angrily took the sweet potato placed in Yun Zhao's hand, took a bite and said, "Shouldn't good things be kept close to me, the watchdog?"
Yun Zhao looked at Yun Yang and said: "You won't be able to see my home for a long time."
Yun Yang sighed and said: "Don't be angry with me, I don't want new equipment. , I don’t need any money, and don’t send me out to let others watch the door. I really can’t worry about it.”
Yun Zhao said with a smile: “You can see this clearly.”
As he spoke, he picked up the larger sweet potato and took a bite. Yun Yang looked at it with a smile.
"I have a lot of money recently. I can allocate some to you, just 10,000 silver dollars. I can't give you the rest. There will be big changes in Lingnan, and we need to make arrangements in advance.
If things go smoothly, we will have a lot of money and food to invest in Lingnan."
Yun Yang nodded and said, "I know, I heard that Han Xiufen was working at sea. Yes, Han Lingshan has also gone to Lingnan, which should be able to open up the situation in Lingnan. Are you going to open up a sea route?" Yun Zhao nodded and said, "Only by transporting troops by sea can we hide this. The people of Jianzhou hid it from Li Hongji, hid it from Zhang Bingzhong, and hid it from the Ming Dynasty court!" Yun Yang chuckled and said, "You don't need to tell me these secrets."
Yun Zhao. He rolled his eyes at Yun Yang and said, "If I don't tell you the truth, you will end up competing endlessly with the Navy for military expenses."
