Dragon Sea Empire

On the winding mountain road ahead, there were scattered Chinese refugees in ragged clothes.They were part of the trail behind the line, literally shifting on the mountain road.From time to time someone sits on the floor exhausted and never gets up again.

Yin Feng took Lihua, and his brothers hurriedly caught up with them from behind.

"Let's go, the Ganla people can't catch up, we will have a way to survive when we get to the seaside!" Yin Feng shouted to the refugees on the side of the road as he walked.He grabbed a fat rich businessman who was on the verge of falling, and said loudly to him: "My fellow, hold on, we are almost at the seaside, there is a boat waiting for us there!"

The fat man stared at Yin Feng with absent-minded eyes, suddenly recognized him, and shouted in surprise: "Captain Yin, my God, you're back!"

The mountain road was slowly moving, and the listless refugees who were like walking corpses were shocked by the sound and turned their heads one after another.

"Really, it's Captain Yin!"

"Oh my god, Captain Yin is back alive!"

"We are saved, Captain Yin is back!"

Although Yin Feng was taken aback by the sudden outburst of emotion, he was also very happy.It turned out that among the group of refugees who entered the mountain area earlier, many people believed that Yin Feng led his people to defend the Beishan Pass, and most of them would never return, and they were close to death.Tens of thousands of Chinese rebels can't stop the Spaniards, and Yin Feng and others will all die in the mountain pass.The hearts of these ordinary people are realistic and kind. It is of course good to have someone who can stop the enemy from chasing and killing. If they can stop the enemy and come back alive, they will be as happy as seeing their relatives.

"Captain Yin is back!"

"Captain Yin is still alive! They are back! The Ganla people have been defeated!"

"Captain Yin is back!"

This kind of shouting was spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and hundreds to thousands. Gradually, people everywhere in the whole mountain were shouting, "Captain Yin is back!"

Morale was low, and thousands of refugees who were exhausted physically and mentally were suddenly refreshed, and some even burst into tears.Leaning on crutches, Zeng Yue let out a long breath when he saw the excited expressions of the crowd around him.

Wherever Yin Feng went, people kept coming to bow and kowtow to him and his brothers, some people asked them about the battle situation, and some people asked about the whereabouts of relatives and friends who participated in the battle.A shirtless man took his hand without saying a word, but shook his hand vigorously.Yin Feng couldn't help but was moved to the point of tears, and quickly shouted: "Everyone from the village, the Guanlan people will not be able to catch up in a while, let's go! Go to the beach, let's go back to our hometown!"

"Yes, go to the beach! Go home! Go home!" The man holding his hand nodded vigorously, turned around and shouted: "Let's go, Captain Yin bought time for us, let's go to the beach and go home!"

The appearance of Yin Feng made these people who were driven to despair by hunger, fatigue and the sneak attacks of the indigenous people feel hopeful again. The rugged, steep and long mountain road has a clear destination instead of walking forever. There is no end to the regional road.

"Go home!" Zeng Yue shouted, walking hard.The servants and servants around rushed forward: "Master, we will carry you..." Zeng Yue pushed them away and said loudly: "I'll go by myself, I'll be there soon, I'll be home soon!"

"Go home!" Lu Shitou smiled happily and greeted his brothers: "Go quickly, didn't I tell you? Brother Yin must have a way to defeat the Ganla people, and he will definitely come back! How? I didn't say wrong?"

"Let's go, let's go back to Tangshan, and follow Captain Yin back to Tangshan." An Heping greeted his fellow believers, and then drew a sign of the cross on his chest: "May God bless Captain Yin, and may God bless us!"

Han Ping, a wealthy businessman from Quanzhou, was almost dragged along by his son Han Jing on the mountain road these days.Fortunately, their servants were loyal and did not leave them alone.From Balian to this rugged mountain road, Han Ping, a big businessman who has always been pampered, made up for all the hardships he had not experienced in his previous life.

When he was moving drowsily with the support of his son, a large group of people shouted and rushed up from behind.He raised his head in bewilderment, looked at the excited crowd around him, and asked feebly, "My son, what are they shouting? Are the Ganla people chasing you?"

A smile appeared on Han Jing's thin face, and he replied loudly: "They are calling for Captain Yin to come back! Father, Captain Yin is fine, he is back!"

Han Ping straightened up suddenly, and there was a little joy on his bloodless face: "Okay! Great! He promised to help our father and son, and we will be able to go home!"

He suddenly gained strength, pushed aside the support of Han Jing and his servants, and said loudly: "Come on, let's get to the seaside early, get on the boat early, and get a good seat on the boat!"

……

At noon on the second day after the battle at Beishan Pass, Yin Feng stood on the hillside by the sea, with the sea in front of him.

The sandy beach of Badangan Bay is gentle and wide, extending in a long arc to the end of the line of sight. The blue water beats against the sandy beach, and the coconut groves by the sea sway gently in the sea breeze.In later generations, this is a place for leisure and vacation for urban residents in Manila, and it is also an important seaport city in Luzon Island.But now it is still a beach that has not been destroyed by human beings. The sea spreads endlessly in front of people's eyes, and on the sea in the distance, there are flying seabirds --- that is a boat!

There were three ships, one big, two small, cruising in the sea, and when they saw a crowd appearing on the beach, they immediately sailed towards the coast.

"Brother Yin, didn't you say there are only two boats?" Lihua stood on the hillside, breathing the oncoming humid sea breeze.

Yin Feng was also a little curious, and set up a pergola to look around for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.Magaro had keen eyesight, looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "Captain, that is Master Li Dan's ship."

Yin Feng was slightly taken aback: "Oh? Could it be that Yuan Jin and Li Zhong are here? Or is it Xu Xinsu?" He looked at Li Lihua, smiled and said, "Look, your Li family's boat is also here. .”

Chen Zhongji rushed over panting: "The owner, the owner, I found the shopkeeper of the Zeng family!"

Yin Feng and Zeng Yue met again on the beach.The members of the Zeng family came to the seaside from another fork along with a group of pirates.However, no one saw Zeng Jingshan.

Chen Zhongji jumped and shouted at the distant sailboat on the beach, the young man was so excited that he forgot about his fatigue and hunger.

A slap hit Chen Zhongji on the back of the neck, and a thick male voice cursed behind him: "Boy, you are still alive!"

Chen Zhongji turned his head, jumped up in surprise, and hugged his uncle Chen Hai, crying and laughing.

Yin Feng let out a long breath, walked slowly past the excited crowd on the beach, and walked towards the beach.Everywhere is the joy of reunion with relatives and friends, the excitement of reunion after narrow escape, and the bitter cry of hearing the sad news of relatives and friends.

He is about to overfulfill the heavy responsibility he has placed on himself.

However, a problem immediately popped up.Leaning on crutches, Zeng Yue said, "Three boats can take up to 3 people."

Yin Feng's smiling face froze, and he nodded, "Throw away the ballast iron on the Xinxing, it is estimated that nearly 1000 people can go aboard, and the Fuxing can accommodate up to 400 people. I don't know the internal structure of the Li family's sailboat. But it looks about the same size as the Fuxing, and there are at most 500 people on board."

Zeng Yue sighed and pointed to the people around him: "Look here, there are at least 3000 people, right? Our people are still rushing here in the mountains, and the number will increase in two days. Trouble!"

Yin Feng slapped his forehead: "There is no unparalleled road, if there are not so many people on the boat, then build a few more boats."

Zeng Yue opened his mouth: "What, shipbuilding?"

In fact, no one has been able to build a Chinese sailboat with a crew in two days.Yin Feng immediately summoned all the craftsmen present and asked them to rush to make a batch of rafts and simple small wooden boats.

"As you can see, no matter what, these three boats cannot accommodate everyone here. Therefore, simple rafts are our only choice."

"Raft?" A craftsman asked suspiciously.

"Yes, the raft. When we are at sea, we can use our sailboat to tow the raft."

Everyone knows that the raft sampan is the only thing that can be manufactured in a short period of time, so almost everyone is eager to cut trees and build ships.

Yin Feng was on the beach to meet the boat released by Xinxing, and as soon as the boat rushed onto the beach, Mai Dahai rushed forward and punched Yin Feng hard: "You, you! Almost made my sister a widow! !"

Yin Feng could only smile wryly, Mai Dahai took a step back and bowed his hands to salute, and said solemnly: "Dahai has fulfilled his mission, and it has been 4 days since he led the whole crew to Badangan Beach, and finally we are waiting for you!"

While speaking, a tall and thin sailor flashed by, it was Ye Hua; after a marathon long-distance swim, he successfully conveyed Yin Feng's order to Xinxing.Yin Feng pounced on him in surprise, and gave him a bear hug: "My boy, if we can go home, you will be a great contributor!"

Ye Hua was not used to this kind of western etiquette, so he blushed, tongue-tied, and looked at Mai Dahai helplessly.

Mai Dahai suppressed a smile, stepped forward and pulled Yin Feng away: "Captain, should we let everyone aboard right now?"

"Okay, but you still have to organize it well. In this way, Dahai, you go back to the ship first, bring 10 brothers over, and bring your weapons. Also, let Boss Lin of the Fuxing ship remove the gunpowder from the ship. You must be on guard. In case,..." Yin Feng explained the precautions one by one.

At this time, the Li family's two-masted galley also docked. Sure enough, Xu Xinsu brought people down, as well as Li Dan's pirate apprentices: Yuan Jin, the fat man, and Li Zhong, the thin man.The other boat of the Li family sailed to Malacca this year, but it has not been able to make it back to Quanzhou, so it did not follow.

Although everyone was very happy to meet each other, Yin Feng found out with the keen observation ability of a gossip reporter: Although Xu Xinsu and others respected Li Lihua very much, they seemed to be a little too in awe, as if they were keeping a respectful distance.

However, in view of the current situation, the members of the Li family all said: At Badanyan Beach, everything is under Yin Feng's command.

Therefore, Yin Feng stood on a high place and announced to everyone present: the old, weak, women, children and injured brothers can board the boat immediately, and other people can board the boat according to the region. The brothers who cannot board the boat for the time being should work hard to build boats and rafts.

However, some food had to be distributed first. Some people hadn’t eaten for several days, and if they didn’t eat something, they might not be able to go home even on the boat.Fortunately, Xinxing and Fuxing had already stocked up a large amount of dry food according to Yin Feng's wishes, but the Li family's ship did not notice this.However, food is not enough, and it can only be divided according to each household. There is no guarantee of how much each person can eat.
