Daming Haikou

Li Bazong, who led the troops to chase to the sea, but watched Yu Xiaotian and his party's boat sailing to the sea, and could only return without success, took two dilapidated official warships and docked at Xiaohuang Island. Dozens of officers and soldiers searched the whole island, but found nothing, so they could only burn down the small village on Xiaohuang Island under the order of the distraught Mr. Li.

Along with him came Liu Xunjian from the Inspection Department of Fu'an County. Because Jiang Baihu's home was also under the jurisdiction of the inspection department, the inspection department also had the responsibility for Jiang's family being slaughtered. Mr. Ba was ordered to lead troops to Xiaohuang Island to suppress the bandits. In order to show that he attached importance to this matter, inspector Liu also brought a few servants, and followed Mr. Li to the sea to Xiaohuang Island.

This time their goal was very clear, the Jiang family insisted that the people who attacked their Jiang family and killed Jiang Baihu were the gangsters on Xiaohuang Island, so they went straight to Xiaohuang Island after they set off.

No matter whether it is Li Bazong or Liu Xunjian, they all thought that although they might not be able to wipe out this group of thieves this time, at least they could catch a few people from Xiaohuang Island and go back to work, but they didn't think so. After they arrived at Xiaohuangdao, the place was already deserted, not even a human hair was left.

After a search, they didn't find anything of value, and Li Bazong and Liu Xunjian's secret idea of ​​making a fortune was also shattered, and they couldn't help being a little annoyed.

Those who are living through the Jiang family now know that the gang in Xiaohuangdao controlled the ships and goods of the Liu family in Funing, and ransacked the Jiang family. They should have made a lot of money, so as long as If you can find this group of people in Xiaohuangdao and wipe them out, after capturing their stolen goods, you can take advantage of them and make a lot of money.

This is the reason why they are so enthusiastic and rushed to Xiaohuang Island, otherwise, there are many pirate gangs along the coast of Funing Prefecture, and they would not be interested in doing such an errand at all.

As for Jiang Baihu's death, for them, they did not deserve their sympathy at all. Relying on the protection of Zhang Datong and Zhang Qianzong, Jiang Baihu controlled most of the fish catches along the coast of Fu'an County. , Not less fishing for oil and water, has already made these people jealous to death.

It’s just that they had no chance and ability to compete with Jiang Baihu for such a source of income before, so they could only stare blankly, at most they would share some of the benefits. It's too late to help others, so there's no sympathy for his death at all.

Looking at the village of Xiaohuangdao, which was burning into the sky, Liu Xunjian laughed dryly, and said to Li Bazong: "Li Bazong! It seems that this time we came here for nothing! The thieves in Xiaohuangdao must be They have already fled here in advance, and they are not stupid, knowing that such a big case, the government will definitely not let them go easily, and it is estimated that they have escaped without a trace at this moment!"

The general manager surnamed Li looked at the flames rising into the sky and the billowing smoke, turned around helplessly and looked towards the sea again, and said with a wry smile: "You and I are just errands. Command, let's do it! Liu Xunjian is right. Although the thieves are fierce, they are not stupid. They must know that the people of Jiang's family have recognized them. This little Huangdao must not be able to stay any longer, but they did not expect them Walking so fast and cleaning up so clean! In this way, it seems like our trip was wasted!

By the way, with Liu Xunjian, you can guess, if these thieves from Xiaohuangdao wanted to escape, where would they flee to?It is estimated that Mr. Zhang Qian and Sun Zhixian will not stop because of this matter. If this group of thieves cannot be brought to justice, it is estimated that they will not be able to explain to their superiors!So in the end, we still need to top the tank, so no matter what, we always have to find a way to at least catch a few thieves, so we can do business, right? "

Liu Xunjian also turned around and looked at the sea in the distance, stroked his short beard lightly, thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's hard to say! It was Mr. Li who chased you back then. How many thieves are there? Mr. Li knew best that if there were a large number of them, they could find another island in the sea and occupy themselves here, to avoid the limelight, and maybe they would come out to plunder after a while!

In addition, if they are smart enough to commit such a major crime, they may even flee to other places overnight after finishing their work, and they may never dare to operate in the Funing Sea area again!

But there is another possibility, if there are few of them, then they may also find other pirates to join them. In short, if they abandon this little Huangdao, it will be difficult to find them again!Unless we get reliable information and know where they are hiding, otherwise, trying to catch them in this vast sea is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack! "

After listening to what Liu Xunjian said, Mr. Li couldn't help but nodded, feeling a little helpless. He knew what Liu Xunjian said was right. If he wanted to catch these little Huangdao in a short time The thief basically has very little hope, not to mention that there are many islands along the coast of Funing, and there are even more islands along the coast of Fujian. He can't search one island after another.So if he wanted to catch these thieves from Xiaohuangdao in the short term, the possibility was very low.

But he is still a bit unwilling to give up. After all, the incident this time is too big, and the dead Jiang Jing is Mr. Zhang Qian’s brother-in-law. When they came out this time, they didn’t even find a human hair. , it's not easy for them to go back this time!Even if they can't even catch the top of the tank, they must at least make a gesture and stay in the sea for two or three days before returning.

So he sighed and said: "What Liu inspector said is reasonable! Since these thieves have abandoned this place, it will not be easy to catch them again! But I'm afraid we won't be able to go back like this! Whether it's the county magistrate or the thousand Sir, it's hard to explain this time, I'm afraid it will take two days before we can go back!

That being the case, we might as well go around for a while, if it doesn't work, it's not too late to go back and do business! "

Of course, Liu Xunjian also knew what the surnamed Li was thinking, so he nodded with a dry smile: "Of course! This time Liu just followed, what should be done, Zhang Qian has orders, and I will listen to Li. General arrangement!"

Mr. Li scolded inwardly that the surnamed Liu is a slippery head. He said that it was tantamount to making it clear that he wanted to see a joke. Anyway, he followed, and he could share some of the benefits if he had meritorious deeds.

So after watching his subordinates order all the houses on Xiaohuang Island, he ordered everyone to board the boat and weigh anchor, and sailed away from Xiaohuang Island.

Standing on the boat, Liu inspector blocked the sun with his hands, looked at the course, and asked Li Bazong: "Li Bazong, since you don't intend to go back immediately, where should we go now?"

Li Ba always took out a map from somewhere, and ordered his subordinates to unfold it, and asked Liu Xunjian to look down at the map. Liu Xunjian knew it was a hand-painted map of Funing Coast , which marked the coastal islands, and quickly found their positions on the map.

"Brother Liu, please look! We are now on the west side of Xiaohuang Island. To the west is Dongchong Town, to the north is Shuangfeng Island and Nungu Islet. Now it is rumored that there are a few pirates entrenched in the area around Shuangfeng Island and Nungu Islet." , often appearing and plundering in the seas of Zhejiang and East Fujian. With our current strength, even if we go, we may not be able to please!

But Brother Liu, look here, not far to the east is Dahuang Island!In Brother Liu's opinion, if the thieves on Little Huang Island just wanted to hide for a while, would they hide on Big Yellow Island?You must know that Big Huang Island is much bigger than this little Huang Island!Hiding dozens of them is not a big problem! "Li Bazong pointed to the map and asked Liu Xunjian.

Liu Xunjian looked at the map, nodded slightly and said, "It's possible! But as far as I know, ever since the Japanese pirates on Dahuang Island were wiped out by the Fuzhou Navy, Dahuang Island has been a land of no one, only pirates. I often stop here! And it’s so close to Xiaohuang Island, I guess the thieves from Xiaohuang Island are afraid to hide on Dahuang Island!”

Mr. Li shook his head and said: "Since we have come out! Regardless of whether they are on Dahuang Island or not, we can't go back now anyway, so we might as well go to Dahuang Island to have a look! Come on, turn the sails and steer! Let's go to Dahuang Island !"

After the sailors on the two ships got the order, the pirates of each ship (in fact, on the naval warships of the Ming Dynasty, the pirate was basically the captain, responsible for managing all the sailors and soldiers on board) immediately ordered the helmsman and the captain Hands began to adjust the sails and rudder, and operated the boat around the northern end of Xiaohuang Island, raised the sails and began to sail towards the direction of Dahuang Island in the east of Xiaohuang Island.

At this time, Yu Xiaotian and the others were still busy on Dahuang Island, and hadn't even noticed the situation.

After two or three days of repairs, their small fishing boat was pushed into the water again, and Crazy Meng led a few youngsters to start a trial voyage outside the bay where they were hiding.

But Yu Xiaotian led the rest of the people, and began to think about how to tow the big boat ashore, and also carried out some repairs. Looking at the big boat, a group of people couldn't help feeling a little worried.

After all, they only had more than 20 laborers at best, and it was still possible to tow the small boat ashore for repairs, but it was not an easy task to tow the two-masted bird boat that weighed nearly [-] tons ashore.

So far, they have just set foot on Dahuang Island, and all the conditions are very simple, and the tools are only a few axes, machetes and big saws, and there are no other decent auxiliary tools other than that.

So just relying on the crude tools they have now, they want to drag this two-masted boat ashore. Their manpower alone is far from enough. Ma Lian and others looked at the boat and shook their heads. Said that it was difficult to handle, and if Xiaotian's proposal really didn't work, the boat would be used for a while. After the limelight passed, they would go south to Fuzhou to find a private boathouse along the coast, and drag the boat ashore for cleaning.

But their proposal was immediately rejected by Yu Xiaotian. Yu Xiaotian's opinion was very clear. If it is used to transport goods by sea, it is not a problem for the time being.

But their current identities are no longer ordinary fishermen, but they want to change their careers to become a group of pirates. Then with this kind of ship condition, if they want to do things at sea, it will be impossible.

If they want to be a successful pirate, the ship will undoubtedly be their most important thing. Although the hull structure of this ship is still solid, the sails of this ship are already very broken, and the bottom of the ship is full of messy things. Sea creatures have greatly affected the speed of this ship.

Since as a pirate, you often have to chase other merchant ships, and sometimes you have to evade the pursuit of your peers or the warships of the military navy. If you don’t have speed, you are looking for death, so Yu Xiaotian still insists that if you want to do it, you must first Just tidy up this boat and greatly increase the speed of the boat!

With his words at the helm, the others also agreed with his opinion, so the group of people had to continue to rack their brains, thinking about how to clean up the boat.

In order to reduce the weight and center of gravity of the ship, they had to spend a lot of effort to remove the ballast stones and masts on the ship. Crazy Meng took a few young men who had gone to sea for a trial voyage, driving in panic. The little sailboat sailed into the bay, and before it stopped, it shouted loudly:

"The big thing is bad! Someone from the government went to Xiaohuang Island..."
