1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 100
"Lai Si, are you really reliable?" Old Yutou asked with his eyes wide open.

Old Yutou, named Yu Shi, was formerly a subordinate of Yang Qi (Yang Ce). Since Zheng Zhilong defeated Yang Qi and killed him at sea, he fled to Nanyang, wandered in Annan, Champa and other places and plundered the coast.A year ago, he was exiled to Batavia, and managed to make a living by working as a sea transportation escort for some sea merchants and collecting people and Dutch colonial institutions.

Under the old Yutou there is a blessing boat, a flying bird boat and a haicang boat. There are more than a hundred people, and they can be regarded as some small pirates with some strength.

Today, Lai Si, who used to hang out with Liu Xiang, came to his door and said that he had a deal of 60 to [-] silver and wanted to cooperate with him.

After drinking and eating, Lai Si mentioned that there was a pirate den just established in the south of the ten-day voyage, and there were 60 million taels of silver hidden in it.And that group of pirates just left and went to Daming to collect people and property.There were only more than fifty guards left behind, and the other hundreds of people were ordinary people who came from looting and trading, so it was a good time to start.

"There are nearly 200 people in our two families. It shouldn't be difficult to take this place." The old Yutou said with a half-smile: "How do we divide the property after taking it?"

"You take half, and the rest is ours!" Lai Si looked at the old clapper next to him and said with a smile.

The old clapper, named Zhang Baosheng, was originally a pirate near Zhejiang. He was defeated by Zheng Zhilong near Quanzhou, Fujian last year, and he was exiled in Nanyang.Because he is as strong as a wall, he is called the old clapper.

"I have more than 130 brothers. ... How many people do you have?"

Lai Si hesitated for a moment, the old Yutou wanted more.Originally, he had already found the old clapper. He had a boat with more than 120 people, and with the [-] or so under his command, it could make up [-] people.According to two to one, it should be able to defeat Cao Xiong's left behind personnel.He Laoliu said that they built a lot of wooden fences around the camp, there are many houses, and there are hundreds of ordinary people, if they are armed, they may not be able to eat.Therefore, he and the old clapper decided to find another family to join the gang to ensure that everything was safe.

But the old Yutou obviously wanted more, so Lai Si looked at the old clapper with some embarrassment.

"I'll give you another half!" the old clapper said coldly.

"What half?" Lao Yu leaned back in the chair, "I want [-]%!" After speaking, he closed his eyes, put his legs on the table, and shook them, not worried about the other party's rejection.

"He Laoliu said that in that camp, besides gold and silver, there were also a lot of messy things like cloth, spices, food, etc. It might be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver." Lai Si whispered into the old clapper's ear.

"There are still those people, if you bring them back, you can sell them for some money." The old clapper also whispered.

"Then let's..." Lai Si asked.

The old clapper nodded.

"Master Yu, if you say [-]%, I'll give you [-]%!" Lai Si said, "When the time comes, everyone will have to work hard, and no one is allowed to pretend to be a coward!"

Hearing Lai Si's words, Lao Yutou immediately opened his eyes, sat up, and looked at Lao Bangzi and the two with a smile, "Since it's agreed, then we are brothers together! Damn it! Whoever pretends to be a coward will be chopped off!...Bring the wine!"

The three of them each filled a bowl of rice wine, took out their daggers, cut their fingers, dripped blood into the wine bowls, and picked them up together.

"For money, I did it!"

The three of them drank it all in one gulp, then smashed the wine bowl and laughed loudly.

Lai Si smiled and thought, when Lao Tzu divides the money, he will go to Luzon to enjoy the blessings.When Cao Xiong comes back and finds out, let him settle the score with you two bastards.

"Fix the formation!" Zhang Nianchun yelled, and the ten brothers around him quickly lined up in two rows, standing back to back on the deck.

Boni soldiers who jumped in from the sides of the ship cautiously surrounded them with short knives in hand.

Trembling, Zhou Yingping closed the cabin door, and then blocked the door with some cloth, bags and other sundries.After that, he pushed back into the cabin, picked up a musket, poured gunpowder and loaded projectiles in a hurry.But when I was nervous, I couldn't finish it smoothly.When I was in Jianye City, I went hunting in the forest with Cao Xiong and the others, and even shot and killed a small kangaroo.

"Boss, why don't I come?" The guy next to him, Zhou Yongming, was a little anxious when he saw that his shopkeeper couldn't load the ammunition for a long time.

"Here you are!" Zhou Yingping threw the musket away, then drew a sword from the bulkhead beside him, and held it facing the hatch.

"Kill!" Zhang Nianchun yelled, and with three brothers beside him, he swung his knife and slashed at the native on the right.

The native held the wooden spear and blocked it. With a "click", the wooden spear was cut off, and the knife continued to chop in the direction of the broken wooden spear.

There were two sounds of "thumping", and the two natives were cut in the shoulders and abdomen respectively, and fell on the deck with a scream.The rest of the natives backed away quickly, dodging the cutting blades.

Zhang Nianchun and others did not take advantage of the situation to attack after beating the two of them, but retreated back and stood back to back with the brothers.

The natives on both sides were taken aback by the blow just now.In the blink of an eye, two people were down on one's own side, while the other side was unscathed.

The natives were hesitating whether to take advantage of the four opponents attacking the back, and they launched a surprise attack from the front.

"Kill!" The five brothers behind Zhang Nianchun yelled loudly, and swung their knives at the native in front.

The natives on the opposite side were even more unbearable. They wanted to attack, but the opponent moved too fast, and suddenly rushed over. They couldn't catch up. Four people were chopped down in an instant, one of them had his arm cut off, and he was rolling on the ground in pain.

Four people were cut down on the other side, and the rest of the natives were forced to retreat a few steps, and they had not yet gained a firm foothold.Zhang Nianchun took the remaining five people and charged straight over regardless of what was behind them.

In a few breaths, seven or eight natives on the opposite side were cut down to the ground.Zhang Nianchun led the crowd back to a cabin, with their backs against the cabin, and ten people lined up in two rows for defense.

The natives who got on the boat were shocked and angry. After a while, more than ten people from their own side fell down, while the other side was injured, but none of them lost their fighting power.Now, with their backs to the cabin, they only need one side to meet the enemy.Their fighting ability is obviously much stronger than the red-haired barbarians they met before.

"Brother Zhang?" Zhou Yingping's trembling voice came from inside the cabin.

"Treasurer Zhou hide inside! We are here, we will not let the natives hurt you!" Zhang Nianchun said calmly.There was a rush of fighting just now, and three brothers were killed, but fortunately, none of them were serious.Standing guard at the door of this cabin will keep shopkeeper Zhou safe, regardless of other things.After a while, other ships will definitely come to support.I glanced around just now and saw that the rest of the ships had lit torches, illuminating the ship brightly.

Qi Dajiang looked at the corpses of native people on the side of the ship, shook his head, and ordered the helmsman to drive towards Zhou Yingping's lucky boat.At night, the third brother was holding a knife in a daze on the side of the boat.Therefore, when the natives dived to the side of the boat and threw flying claws, they found it immediately.Immediately drew a knife and cut off a few ropes, and shouted loudly as a warning.

In the end, there were very few natives who could climb up, and they were all chopped down on the deck by Qi Dalu and a few brothers.As the speed of the ships increased, the native boats on the sea had no chance of throwing flying claws. Instead, six or seven boats were hit and sank in the sea by them.

The closer they were to Zhou Yingping's Fuchuan, the more dangerous the situation became.On both sides of the lucky boat, small boats are densely parked, and the short natives are struggling to climb up by relying on the ropes.

"Push the small cannon over here, change to shotguns!... Dalu, change to muskets, and shoot down!" Qi Dajiang ordered immediately.

After a while, several small 4-pound cannons were pushed to the side, poured gunpowder, filled and compacted, and then loaded a large handful of broken nails and lead, and fired at the side of Fuchuan in turn.

The dense projectiles instantly knocked down the climbing natives into the sea.Soon, Qi Dalu led more than ten people, armed with muskets, and fired a volley at the boat below.Suddenly, there was a scream from the boat below.

Zhang Nianchun gritted his teeth tightly, and was cut by a native in his leg, bleeding profusely, but he didn't dare to hide behind and bandage the wound.Three brothers have already died, and the rest are all wounded.

It may be that seeing them so desperately, more than 20 people fell down on their own side, and the natives on the opposite side were a little timid, shrinking back and daring not to attack.

Near the cabin, the location is narrow, and the advantages of the natives' large number of people cannot be brought into play.Zhou Yingping's buddy had the guts to hold a musket at the door of the cabin and shoot every one or two minutes, which made the locals' morale drop even more.

Not long after, I heard the sound of artillery bombardment next to Fuchuan, and the screams of my companions from below from time to time.After the leading natives greeted them, they climbed the ropes and retreated.

Zhang Nianchun and his brothers were exhausted and unable to chase after them, they all collapsed at the door of the cabin.

The entire fleet waited for all the natives to retreat, briefly treated the wounded, and then continued eastward under the cover of night.

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Xiong's fleet sailed slowly into a dock at a Dutch colony.At this moment, the crowd breathed a sigh of relief, and carried the injured brother off the boat, placed him here, and picked him up after returning from Daming.

And at this early morning, five ships quietly sailed out from the port of Batavia, carrying more than 260 fully armed demons, heading towards Hanzhou in the south.
