1635 Han style rises again

Chapter 4 Landing ([-])

There were more than 900 or [-] ships of various sizes docked at the pier, and there was smoke on the shore, and many houses were either smoking or burning. In the distance, there were more than a dozen corpses lying scattered in the fields.In a well-organized farm, a group of pirates with a population of about [-] clamored around the walls of the village.On the wall of the wall, some villagers and courtyard guards held various weapons such as knives and forks, and looked at the pirates below tremblingly.

Wielding a long knife, Kang Yongzu drove dozens of pirates to rush towards the wall of the village again holding a simple wooden ladder.Not surprisingly, he was driven down by Zhuang Ding on the wall of the village, leaving behind two or three corpses.

"What's the matter with Lao Zhang, haven't you pushed the artillery over yet?" Kang Yongzu walked up and down irritably, staring at Zhuang Ding on the wall from time to time.

"Master Kang, it's a bit of a distance from the pier to here. I don't have a pack horse, so I'm afraid it will take a lot of work to pull it by people!" said a pirate with a scar on his face.

"Hmph, wait for the artillery to come up, tear down the stockade, and kill all the bumpkins on the wall." Kang Yongzu spat.

"Didn't Mr. Xiang say to catch more pigs and bring them to Nanyang and sell them to red-haired ghosts?"

"Then you climb up for me and open the gate of the village?"

"...Hehe, Lord Kang, I'll go to the back to see if the cannon has been pushed up." The pirate laughed dryly, turned around and ran back.

"You're all fucking greedy for life and afraid of death!" Kang Yongzu spat, turned back and continued to look at the small Zhuangzi, feeling ruthless in his heart, that the village would be broken later, and he might have to chop off a few more heads.

"Old Kang, what's the rush, this small village, as long as you push a cannon over and break it, sooner or later!" Xia Zhimu said lazily while sitting behind.

"Isn't it difficult to break through the stockade?" Kang Yongzu looked back at Xia Zhimu, shook his head, and said, "But Xiang Lao said, we have to act quickly....Although Xiang Lao didn't say it clearly, I know that he probably I'm afraid that Zheng Yiguan will rush over and block us on the shore."

"Hey, he Zheng Yiguan is not clairvoyant, and when he gets the letter, I'm afraid it will be a day or two later! He will call ships to block us, and we've all gone to the Guangdong Sea. ... Blocking us, I'm afraid it's too late Yes!" Xia Zhimu said disapprovingly.

"..." Kang Yongzu thought for a while, and felt that it made sense, and then sat down next to Xia Zhimu, "But if we break the stockade earlier, wouldn't we be able to live happily for a while! Haha..."

"Master Zhang, should we...should we go?" On the pier, dozens of pirates were sitting or squatting beside a 12-pound cannon, pointing at the smoky village in front of them, discussing their brothers in front of them. Some property and women were robbed.

Zhang Yijie glanced at the pirate who was talking beside him, and said coldly: "Hu Lao Liu, what's the matter, are you in a hurry to reincarnate?"

"...Master Zhang is joking." Hu Laoliu said with a bow, "Master Kang is waiting for the artillery to destroy the village. I'm afraid... I'm a little anxious to wait." Hu Laoliu was sent by Kang Yongzu. I want to urge the artillery to drag it to the front stockade.But it took Zhang Yijie and his men a long time to unload the cannon from the boat, and then... began to rest.

"Why, there is a beautiful woman in the village, Lao Kang can't wait?" Zhang Yijie squinted.

"Uh..., Mr. Kang thought, if he broke the stockade and robbed the property earlier, the brothers would have a good time for two days. What if..." Hu Laoliu replied cautiously, "What if, the county sends officers and soldiers over, Aren't we going to work harder?"

"Hey!" Zhang Yijie laughed, "Just Zhangpu, a small county, how many soldiers can you send over!...My stomach is uncomfortable, can't I just sit down for a while?"

"..." Hu Laoliu had a bitter face, and he didn't dare to answer. He said, you guys have been resting at this pier for almost half an hour, and you don't want to think about the brothers in front of you struggling in front of the stockade.But he didn't dare to urge him any more. On weekdays, Mr. Zhang was always domineering, which annoyed him, so he couldn't even cut him off with one knife. In this chaotic world, he had to find someone to reason with.

"Then..., Mr. Zhang, I'll go back first..." Hu Laoliu bent over and said.

"Go back and sue me at Lao Kang?" Zhang Yijie looked at Hu Laoliu jokingly, "You said that my Lao Zhang did not work hard enough to delay him from breaking the village?"

"Uh... how dare the little one?" Hu Laoliu quickly shook his head, "how dare the little one sue you!... The little one thinks... the little one wants to help the brothers in the front, maybe ...Maybe..." For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Zhang Yijie snorted coldly, ignored Hu Laoliu, and walked to a dilapidated house, which was in a mess. Obviously, the valuables inside had been scoured by the pirates who went ashore.

Hu Laoliu watched Zhang Yijie sit on a deck chair brought by some pirates, and lay down again after a while, wanted to leave but dared not, and stood aside with a sad face.

The shouts of fighting in the distance, the fallen corpses in the field, the ferocious pirates wandering around... All order, all morality, all humanity are completely submerged in this end of the world.

There were many sails on the shore, and the water was sparkling. At noon, the warm sun shone directly on the earth, and the slight sea breeze blew. Zhang Yijie stood up comfortably and yawned lazily.

"Master Zhang, would you like something to eat?" A clever pirate next to him graciously brought over a piece of dried meat and a pot of rice wine.

"What time is it?" Zhang Yijie didn't take the dried meat, took the jug, and took a mouthful.

"...I'm afraid it's already past noon."

"At noon?... Is it time for the executioner to be executed?" Zhang Yijie said with a smile.

"Then let's talk about it, in the eyes of the court, they are all considered death row prisoners." A pirate replied with a smile.

"Then now, shouldn't it be time for you to ask for beheading?" Zhang Yijie looked around at the pirates around him.

"If you kill us, who will serve you, Master Zhang?" Several pirates replied with a smile.

"A group of killers!" Zhang Yijie also smiled and kicked the pirates in front of him, "Let's go, push the cannon up, or Kang Ye will lose his temper!" As he said, he squinted his eyes and looked at Hu Laoliu .

Hu Laoliu smiled and nodded, "Master Zhang is considerate of the little one!... The little one will lead you the way." Saying that, he was about to turn around and walk forward.

"Hmm..." Hu Laoliu just started to take a step when he suddenly felt a pain coming from his back. Then, he lowered his head and saw the tip of a knife protruding from his chest. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Big mouthfuls of blood gushed out of his mouth.

"Hmph, since it's past noon, how can no one come to sacrifice a flag!" Zhang Yijie kicked Hu Laoliu down, and wiped two steel knives on his body, "You, and you, take this Throw the guy into the sea!"

"Master Zhang, how can I trouble you!" said a pirate, "Just give your order, and the little ones will chop this guy up together!"

"Haha..." Zhang Yijie laughed loudly, "Don't buy it here! Hurry up and push the cannon over. The stockade is broken, so the brothers can be happy inside!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..." There was the roar of artillery in the distance, and Qi Tian raised his head and looked over there.All the pirates had already followed Liu Xiang ashore, and more than a thousand pirates ran to the stockade in a mess, all wanting to snatch some floating money or women earlier, and indulge the darkness and brutality of human nature.

"Why are we guarding the boat every time we go ashore?" Qi Dalu said with some gloom, "This Liu Xiang, I'm afraid we Shandong people will grab more things when we go ashore!"

"You are so young, why do you want to grab things all the time!" Qi Dajiang slapped Qi Dalu across the face, "They are all poor people, why bother for others!"

"We're not going to rob, but Liu Xiang and the others are going to rob!" Qi Dalu held his head up and said unconvinced, "We'll go and rob, at least we can kill less people!...Look at Liu Xiang and the others, they will kill everyone !” He pointed to some old and weak corpses not far from the pier.

"..." Qi Dajiang was speechless for a while, and kicked him angrily, "Hurry up and find some water!...By the way, let's see if there is anything else to eat!"

"Water may be found. But food..." Qi Dalu looked around at the smoking houses and shook his head. Tian and Gouzi walked into the distance.

Qi Tian and Gou Zi followed the third brother Qi Dalu, walked several hundred meters, and came to a house that was still smoking. There was an old man's body lying in front of the courtyard, his eyes were empty looking at the sky, He also holds a hoe in his right hand.

Carefully walk around the body and into the yard.Several mulberry trees were planted in front of the house, but there was no mulberry leaf on the trunk, only bare branches.The outer walls are built of mud, the roof is covered with thick thatch, compacted with mud, and the narrow windows are simply covered with wooden lattice strips.Obviously, this family is a very typical poor family in the Ming Dynasty.Even so, it was unavoidable to suffer from indiscriminate plunder by pirates.

The room was a little dark, and the three of them searched the messy interior, but found nothing.But on the right side of the house, they found a well and took water, which was slightly salty.But instead of drinking the smelly water stored on the boat, he could actually relax a little bit.

"God damn it!" Qi Dalu poured himself a big mouthful of water, and cursed angrily.

"Well, god damn it!" Qi Tian shook his head, no longer thinking about the unwilling corpse outside the courtyard, and cursed.
