Chapter 58: Don't want to be Song Jiang
On the early morning of the tenth day of February, on the beach southwest of Kinmen Island, more than fifty warships, large and small, moored, rising and falling with the waves.
On the largest Chinese military ship, the Chinese military's big bow fluttered, and a letter of Yang was written.
Yang Lu's face is full of flesh and eyes, and he knows that he is a pirate.
Xu Xinsu, who is next to him, looks a lot more elegant. In fact, Xu Xinsu's body is also very strong, and his face is also like the words "I am a badass" on his forehead, but he has a bit of official air and the temperament of a big business brother makes him different. To the pirates.
is surrounded by rough people, savage appearance, and rough speech. Although they are the officers and soldiers who caress, their clothes and equipment are shabby. At most, a few officers are wearing Ming army costumes, and most of them are still wearing old fishermen-style clothes.
is equipped with a wide variety of equipment. The more formal ones are knives and guns, as well as those with forks and whistles. They use arquebuses. The guns they are equipped with are also relatively small. The 6-pounder gun is more than the 10-pounder gun.
In fact, the court also issued military pay and equipment for the surrendered pirate army, but Xu Xinsu and Yang Lu swallowed up the black-hearted Ministry of War and Fujian local officials, and the result was still pirate equipment.
They were waiting for the enemy to come, and they were boring. Yang Lu asked Xu Xinsu: "Have you seen that kid? (Yan Changwu
"I have seen it, I have seen it in the Japanese country!" Xu Xinsu replied. Although he had done business between the Japanese country and Daming before, he also called that country the Japanese country (the Ming people called that country a Japanese pirate).
"Then what kind of person is he? I heard that the Southeast Mansion is prosperous, and he defeated the Dutch." Yang Lu asked curiously.
Xu Xinsu coldly snorted: "I don't remember what he was like before, a hairy boy, not a child prodigy, he can defeat the Dutch, that is, he used to deceive the Dutch city of Orange!"
Seeing his impatient look, Yang Lu was puzzled at first, and then understood that Xu Xinsu was not upset by Yan Changwu, but was angry with the court, especially Zhu Yifeng, the governor of Fujian sent by the court to Fujian!
Zhu Yifeng was born in a famous gate in Taixing. He is a descendant of the country. In 1598, he went to Beijing to be ranked second in the examination. He was given a scholarship. In 1626, he was the Imperial History of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court and governed Fujian.
He is by nature resolute, and he doesn't want to see pirates. This time the alien Yan Changwu sent someone to send a letter to the door to fight, it is definitely not a grievance, Xu Xinsu and Yang Lu both have court officials!
Regardless of the reason, an official is an official, and a bandit is a bandit!
The officers and soldiers were beaten by sea bandits. They lost face and would never tolerate them. When they rallied and attacked, where would the court’s face be?
However, as the admiral of military affairs, Zhu Yifeng forced Xu Xinsu and Yang Lu to fight on their own, and did not allow the coastal defense chief Yu Zigao to send troops to assist in the battle. He made it clear that he would sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight and let the two factions of pirates fight for life. Victory with Yang Lu, the strength will be lost and better control. If it loses, it will weaken Yan Changwu's strength, and it will be beneficial for the officers and soldiers to suppress them. At the same time, it will also solve Xu Xinsu and Yang Lu, killing two birds with one stone.
Governor Zhu almost forcibly forced Xu Xinsu to fight with Yang Lu. In this way, they became tied together grasshoppers, no matter the victory or defeat, they could control them.
Understanding how the court officials have such a virtue, knowing that they can’t make a pot of urine, Yang Lu said dissatisfiedly: "Here does not keep the master, and there is a place to keep the master. Boss Xu, we are living at sea, free, why bother to suffer This bird officer's anger!"
Xu Xinsu smiled bitterly: "It is not the right way to discuss life at sea!"
He looked at the sea and said, "You said, there are a few people who ask for a life on the sea who die well!"
After saying that Yang Lu was speechless, he whispered: "It's very rare!"
Yes, people walking on the sea, how can they not cause trouble, continue to soak in the sea, the back wave pushes the front wave, the front wave died on the beach, I don’t know which day he died.
can never stop until he is hit by a knife. If the golden basin washes his hands, it will be even more miserable. It is equivalent to abandoning the body protection power. If someone kills in the middle of the night, it is a tragedy of killing the door!
Xu Xinsu learned from Song Jiang and wanted to recruit an official body. The problem was that after Song Jiang was recruited, the court led him to fight Fangla with Liangshan heroes, and the heroes of the Water Margin became history!
What Zhu Yifeng learned was the use of a sword to kill people from the Song court!
The two are speechless, if it is possible, who wants to be sea bandits!
Looking at the sea in a daze, someone suddenly shouted: "A gunboat was found behind!"
The lookout post on the mast sounded an alarm. Xu Xinsu and Yang Lu looked at each other, secretly surprised: "The Southeast Mansion actually wants to cut off the back of our army?"
rushed to the rear side and opened the telescope purchased from the Dutchman to take a look: "It's the Dutchman's battleship! Two ships!"
"Are they here to help us?" Yang Lu said unsurely.
Xu Xinsu sneered and said, "This is to watch the fun!"
Yang Lu’s face turned cold. It was said that the Dutch had a relationship with Xu Xinsu, and he was slapped in the face by Yan Changwu. Why should the Dutch help Xu Xinsu fight? soy sauce.
These two Dutch warships were converted from merchant ships. Although they were better than Mingren warships, they were not able to deal with Mingren warships like wolves.
……
The Dutch battleships that were approaching were the Medusa and the Poseidon. They were all Galen ships, with 3 masts, about 40 meters in length, and 18 12-pounder artillery. They belonged to the Clippers.
On the stern of the Medusa ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ stood two Dutchmen. People from the Southeastern Mansion had seen them. It was Pete Poznan who had come to negotiate with the Southeastern Mansion to redeem the Dutch captives. Mr. Van Ross Mullen!
They were also using binoculars to observe the "Ming Dynasty Navy Officer Army" in front. Seeing that there was no fight, they drove the boat to the northwest corner of Kinmen Island.
Van Rose Mullen frowned and said: "Compared with Mr. Xu Xinsu, the Southeast Mansion is our archenemy. Why don't we take this opportunity to attack the Southeast Mansion?"
"Of course I think, but we don't have enough power!" Pete Poznan sighed: "This world is so big, no matter how many ships we put into the sea, we can't assemble the fleet to arrive. They are scheduled to attack at the autumn harvest."
"Then we just came to have a look?" Van Ross Mullen asked.
"My sir, what else do you want to shoot at them?" Pete Poznan shrugged.
……
The two Dutch ships also made it clear that they were sitting on the mountain to watch tigers fight, and they were the same as the Ming army navy, which made Xu Xinsu resent, how could he be the general agent of the Dutch business in the mainland!
He also knows that the Dutch people are dissatisfied with him. The main reason is that he sells 142 taels of raw silk, but the ones sold in Wadao are more expensive, reaching 500-600 taels. This is the price of my conscience!
Xu Xinsu turned his heart back and said to Yang Lu: "If you can't beat it, then run away! We will drive the boat into Xiamen Port. If they chase in, see what's going on with Governor Zhu and General Yu. Aren't they shameless? I see them. Where to put his face!"
His face is grim and authentic: "If you want us to learn from Song Jiang, we can't do it!"
"The enemy, the enemy is coming!" The watch post once again warned. Xu Xinsu and Yang Lu opened their telescopes to observe and saw the masts gradually rising in the eastern sea area, and boats appeared in front of them.
