Chapter 264: Suspicion secretly

In the 19th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhenguo Duke Tang He cleaned up pirates and asked the court for the purpose of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields. Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that except for the 547 households and 8,085 residents of the main island of Zhoushan, all the residents living on 46 islands in Zhoushan would be moved to the inland. The various islands of Zhoushan were abandoned since then and became bases for long-term entrenchment by pirates and Japanese pirates.

These islands are surrounded by reefs and large ships are unable to move. Over the past hundred years, the details of the only waterways for large ships are no longer known, and these places have become paradises for pirates.

Shuangyu Island is the base camp of Haigouzi. The terrain of the island is steep, with east and west mountains facing each other, and water mouths connected from north to south. There are also small hills like gates blocking, which is conducive to war defense. The middle is about twenty miles wide, and it is a good intermediary for trade between the South China Sea and the mainland.

This place is connected to Japan, North Korea, Yizhou, and Malacca in the north. It is a major transportation route between the north and the south. When sea smuggling is the most prosperous, hundreds of sea boats passed here every day. The sea dogs have been making money every day after taxes.

However, since the Japanese pirates gathered and large-scale swept the Japanese pirates along the coast, and the Malacca Strait was occupied by Western barbarians, the number of seaboats has dropped sharply to more than 100, and the income of sea dogs has been greatly affected. When he heard the news that the court was interested in recruiting peace, he had to seriously consider it.

In the Linglong Cave, the seagull frowned and gently stroked his bare head and thought about his thoughts. A pretty Korean girl squatted in front of his legs and gently pounded her thighs. Two Japanese girls carrying small pillows behind her were massaged by his shoulders.

"Second, we are living here as King Xiaoyao. If we really surrender to the court and are under control, will his mother's life be better? But if we don't agree, the current life will be difficult. Now there are less than 100 merchant ships here every day, right? There are not many ships that can rob the sea. These tens of thousands of people cannot sit and eat the whole country."

The old spirit grabbed his bearded man and pondered: "Master Gou, although the court is forming a navy, first of all, the Japanese are not even able to be fair. Besides, in less than ten or eight years, their navy has no power to block the entire coast. They want to pacify the sea and open up trade. If we are here, he will not think about it. Is Shuangyu so easy to attack? Besides, there is Mausoleum to take care of us.

However... if the court was willing to sign Gou Ye as the governor of Jinghai, he would be stationed here, and the sky was high and the emperor was far away, they would not do anything to us. The troops were our private soldiers. When the coastal defense was opened, we would just privately lower the tariffs than the court's, and avoid the imperial docks every day and have to pass by us. By this calculation, the profit will be much greater than now."

"Hahahaha..." The sea dog laughed, and the laughter rumbled in the cave. He pressed his feet against the little girl's soft chest, and the little girl immediately massaged his toes gently.

The sea dog smiled and reached out. A girl hurriedly brought him a glass of wine. He sipped the wine with a smile and said, "This is the idea that we are fighting. Wang Meiren and Bai Xiaocao have been having frequent contacts recently. Maybe they also want to join forces to increase the cost of discussing business with the court.

Hehe... He can't compare with us. Wang Meiren's territory is too close to land. Bai Xiaocao, as long as the imperial navy lands in Penghu and Yizhou, he will have to catch it blindly. He has no capital. At that time, they will be governed by the imperial court. We will gradually swallow their territory. By then, the Grand Governor of Jinghai will be King Jinghai, and the imperial court will have to consider it if it wants to turn against each other, hahahahaha..."

The old meditation pondered: "Master Gou, then... do you need to tell Master Mao about the news that we meet with the imperial envoy today?"

"Um...", Hai Dog grabbed her head and shook her head, "I still have no sign of her horoscope. Don't talk about it for now. Let's discuss it with him when I have the right letter."

"Yes, yes," the old spirit agreed. He thought to himself: "When you have accurate letters, then the merit of taking the lead in surrendering is the master of Dog. From then on, the blind cat will become a subordinate of Dog. Dog even wants to swallow his brother's territory, which is really dark."

Seeing his eyes rolling around, Haigou laughed and said, "What are you thinking about? Are you greedy for this fresh product?" He pulled over a Japanese girl, stretched out his hand and pulled it open, and pulled away the silk ribbon she tied around her waist. Under the kimono, it was a naked fresh and beautiful body, and there was no longer anything next to her.

The girl let out a "ah" and fell into his arms panting, letting him squeeze his breasts on his chest. The sea dog smiled lewdly and said, "Hengzo Miyazawa borrowed the road and borrowed grain from me and sent the fresh goods, and the other one belongs to you."

The old sperm is also a lustful insect. When he heard the boss's words, he immediately put aside his worries, excitedly grabbed the girl and hugged the soft Persian carpet, pushed the kimono upwards, pulled his pants, and gritted his teeth and started fighting. A whisper like a cry came from the cave.

Fodu Island is the first level to enter Shuangyu. He Sigai stood on the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back and looked at the surrounding terrain without saying a word. It is indeed easy to defend and difficult to attack. His three-masted ship is not too big, but he has to replace it with a flat-bottomed boat more than four miles away from the island, otherwise he will not be able to pass through the reefs covered with water and underwater.

The navy could not rush to the fore. If the navy carried infantry, it would be difficult to attack the island. He noticed that several artillery were actually set up on the island. These pirates worked hard for many years and obviously invested a lot of money in this base camp.

There is Fodu Island in the northwest, Liuheng Island in the east, and Xiaofodu Island in the south. With such a natural barrier, with heavy artillery troops, how many people would have to die in the Ming army to attack? The two islands of the main islands form horns, and they don’t know how strong the defense is, no wonder the second gear head opposed the hard attack.

He Si was originally a water thief in Taihu Lake. In the past, he was bribed by the thief Yang Qing. During the war, the two main warships sank, and thus suffered a crushing defeat. He withdrew from the waters of Taihu Lake. Cheng Qiyun captured him through Peng Shark. Now he is the Thousand Houses in charge of the information in Liangjiang area of ​​the inner factory.

The ship entered the waters of Shuangyu. The waters here are wide and the waves are less than two feet high, making it very easy to sail. However, Shuangyu Island is protected by islands in the southeast, west and south, and only the northern passage can drive straight in. However, there are also reefs on the outskirts of the north, so it is difficult to raid without knowing the secrets.

He Sigai secretly remembered the observed situation in his heart, but his face showed a look of not caring about the dangerous terrain of Shuangyu Island. The boat gently touched the ground, and someone took the cable and tied it to the boat pile. There were two large merchant ships waiting for the pirates to check and pay the money and grain.

"Please, Lord He, our Dog Master is waiting for you in Linglong Cave." A big man with his arms open and thick chest hair exposed on his chest bowed.

He Sigai smiled and rushed ashore in one step. The bow of the boat only sank slightly, and it didn't even shake it.

"Yoho, it turns out that he is an expert on the waterway. My younger brother Chen Dong, he doesn't know the real person anymore."

He Sigai smiled faintly and clasped his fists and said, "Brother Chen, please lead the way." He said as he swept his eyes around and saw that the shore was flat and sandy roads on the shore were several miles away. He usually didn't know how many north and south cargo ships were loading and unloading here.

At this time, the big ship was carrying silk downwards, obviously preparing to ship to the south. He Sigai had sold private goods. He knew that this was a huge profit, and the textiles in Western countries were far behind the Ming Dynasty.

The lowest cost of the same textiles they made was three times that of the Ming Dynasty, and the quality was incomparable. Therefore, although the methods of raising silkworms, mulberry trees and silk were taken by Westerners with huge gold to bribe the Han people for a long time ago, they still cannot live without oriental silk.

When He Sigai entered the huge natural cave hall of Linglong Cave, the sea dog and Lao Jing were already sitting there in neat clothes. When he saw someone coming, Lao Jing got up to greet him and laughed: "Sir He, welcome, this is our dog master."

Two rows of sixteen men holding steel knives stood straight. The shiny head of the sea dog reflected by the torch in his hands was shiny. He sat on a large chair covered with animal skin, pinching his feet with one hand, and looking at He Sigai arrogantly from top to bottom.

He Qianhu laughed, took the lead two steps, bowed and said, "Master Dog, I've been thriving for a long time."

He Si changed his Huaiyang movie and Haigouzi was stunned when he heard it. He said strangely: "Are you from Huaiyang?"

He Sigaiqian smiled and said, "It's right. He is from Changfu Lane, Xiayangzhou."

"Oh, hehe. The man is also a local from there. It turns out he is a fellow villager. Hahaha, please sit down quickly." The sea dog left home at a young age. At this time, he felt very friendly when he heard the local accent and changed his appearance.

He Sigai was not from Yangzhou, but he knew the dialect there. Cheng Qiyun learned about Haigouzi's origin and knew that this person had some affection for his hometown. In the past, when he was weak and was unable to live on the sea, he never went to Yangzhou even if he went ashore to rob. Therefore, he ordered He Sigai to deliberately pretend to be a fellow villager in other places so that he could get close to him.

He Sigai also looked joyful as if he was shocked to see his fellow countrymen. The two of them talked about the customs of their hometown in advance, and talked about the happy place that He Sigai gradually led to his intention without revealing any trace.

Haigouzi's expression suddenly became serious when he heard that the Ming Navy defeated the eleven Japanese warships with three warships. He had never seen the Japanese pirates' combat power at sea, but he knew the combat power of the Ming Navy better. Now that the Ming army fought against the eleven Japanese ships with three warships, the opponent only escaped two ships, which shows that the combat power of the Ming Navy has indeed improved amazingly.

He looked at the old spirit, took his foot off the chair, and said, "Old He, then how sincere do you think the court has to us? I am used to it, so I will help me to cut off the Japanese retreat... It's easy to discuss, but I'm not used to being an official ashore. Can the court allow me, as the governor of the navy, to garrison and the sea?

You know... I have more than 30,000 people under my command, and my five fingers are not as good as the court's promise? Besides, my brother Xue Cat is not so easy to talk to. This old boy is more suspicious than me."

"Hahaha, don't worry, Master Dog, Master Cat has already talked about it...uh...I'm going to talk about it too."

"Hmm?" The sea dog sat up suddenly and stared at He Sigai with a sharp look.

He Sigai smiled dryly with a panic expression: "This... Don't worry, this dog master. As long as the conditions offered by the court pass through, he will definitely agree. As long as the dog master agrees, can the snow cat turn the world with one hand? Hahaha, that's why I dare to pat your chest."

"Hehehehe..." Haigou waved his hand and stopped the old sperm from interrupting, and changed into a harmless smile on his face and said, "This... is right, hahaha, Xuemaoer and I have always been moving forward and retreating together. I agreed, how could he not agree? But my conditions... What do you think?"

He asked while staring at He Sigai's face, thinking in his heart: It's no surprise that Wang Meiren and Bai Xiaocao accept the invitation. But did that bastard Xuemao hide it from me and the court?

Damn, the couple are all birds in the forest, and they fly away from each other when the disaster strikes, let alone the kowtow brothers. If they are blocked by Bai Xiaocao in the south, blocked by snow cats in the east, and there is a beauty Wang in the west, and the navy can only block the north all the way. Then wouldn’t my sea dog be trapped as a dead dog?”

Haigouzi naturally refused to believe He Sibiao's words. After so many years of intrigue and deceitful activities, he still understood the military plan, but because he had experienced too many conspiracies, he did not dare to believe the snow cat too much. He Sibiao inadvertently revealed his words, leaving a shadow in his heart.

He Sigai frowned and said, "Master Gou, you have tens of thousands of troops. As for the saying, it is not too much to ask for the title of governor. However, I dare not accept this matter for you to station troops overseas and govern the forty-six islands of the East China Sea.

Now the governor of the six provinces, Lord Yang, the commander of the Japanese suppression, is the most beloved celebrity around the emperor. Do you know this? As long as he nods and agrees, he will be 70% sure about this. Since Master Dog has this meaning, he has to discuss it. I have to report it back to you."

He Sigai refused to agree casually. The sea dog believed it a little more. He stood up with a smile. The big hand that had just rubbed his feet scratched his bald head and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I won't keep you anymore. I'll send someone to send you back, uh... Old Sperm, go and get ten big yellow croakers to my fellow villager. In addition, there is a pack of gifts, an exotic beauty, I'll ask you to send them to Governor Yang. Ah? Hahaha..."

He Sijiao pretended to give in and agreed. Seeing that the envoy sent by the court was also greedy for money, Haigouzi immediately put down a few worries. He smiled and sent He Sijiao to the entrance of the cave. Seeing the old spirit accompanying him out, the smile on his face disappeared.

He stood at the entrance of the cave with his hands behind his back. The mountain wind blew his purple-black silk clothes and trousers, and his eyes were staring at his country coldly. After a long time, he squeezed out two words from his teeth: "Snow Cat..."

"Sea Dog..." The sea Dog stood his brother Snow Cat on the top of the mountain, looking at the direction of Shuangyu Island from afar, gritting his teeth. The island was like a giant tortoise poking its head out, and its shape was vivid, and the snow cat stood on a huge rock hanging from the giant tortoise.

The snow cat has a normal appearance and a small figure, but his movements are light and flexible. His skin seems to have some disease. Except for occasionally showing bright red flesh-colored patches, the rest are snow-white.

After a while, he turned his head slightly and asked, "Are you sure? People from the court really met dogs?"

"Yes! Chen Dong sent someone else away today, only his confidant was allowed to guard the dock. The young man felt strange and lay behind the cliff and looked carefully. There was a Huo A Si who owed me a lot of debts. He was responsible for taking a boat to send the court official named He over. If I had conned him, the dog master would even give him a Western beauty that he bought with a lot of money before leaving."

The snow cat's white face became a little ferocious: "Damn it, I won't tell me at first. I'll give it up. This gift has been given for three days. I haven't sent someone to notify me, what are the tricks of the sea dog playing? Is he still tactful with me?"

Xuemao's eyes turned and said, "Go back immediately, don't show your flaws, stare at his every move!"

Then he ordered another subordinate, "I told us that we should go to sea less and cause trouble recently. Isn't Hu Laoqi and Cao Tianchong have a personal relationship? Lao Cao just joined the beautiful man Wang, so he must know a little about the news from both sides. Send Hu Laoqi to explore the words there. Damn, I can't just set it here stupidly, and finally ask someone to sell it and help him count the money."

"yes!"

The shade of the tree is deep and the green branches are like a cover. Yangling is wearing only light clothes and sits opposite Cheng Qiyun under the tree. Cheng Qiyun has a graceful figure.

Wearing a narrow-sleeved top in the lake water green space, a peacock blue point-collared shirt. The sleeves are short and the shoulders are covered, and the hem is only on the waist of the breasts. The two plackets are buttoned up against a small golden silk butterfly on the chest. The pair of beautiful breasts are undulating and delicate, so they can be easily grasped.

In this private backyard, she was not too focused on her appearance, so she crossed her legs and held her knees with her hands, gently wiggling her toes at the chessboard. The purple belt around her waist tied a very moving and slender curve, and the waist was narrow and thin without losing its fleshiness. The tight skirt showed a round and moving curve of her hips.

She picked up the chess piece with her fingers and pushed forward. She smiled and said, "General! Sir. You lost again!"

The shadow of the tree was rubbing, and the light and shadows were scattered on her graceful and beautiful body. The more you looked, the more beautiful she became. Even the small parts of her fingers could be surprised, and the overall harmony was indescribable.

"Oh? Oh, Qiyun's chess skills are outstanding, but it's still not good for me to be a soldier, haha. Give up, admit defeat," Yang Ling pushed the ball and admitted defeat.

Cheng Qiyun smiled, holding a light vortex at the corner of her mouth. Although her smile was a bit joking, she was still full of charm: "Is it because I was delayed in Jiangnan for too long and was concerned about Guangdong and Sichuan, or about Youniang and Lian'er?"

"Hmm? It's all a little bit, haha. It's already May, alas! How can you not worry about it?" Yang Ling frowned slightly and said.

Cheng Qiyun picked up chess pieces one by one and said, "It's not necessarily true? I have forced myself to be happy these days. In fact... I understand in my heart that what you are worried about is not Guangdong, Sichuan, and You Niang and Lian'er. Even if you miss it, you will not be worried.

What you are worried about is the soldiers from other provinces you sent and the 20 teams of thousands of people trained by yourself. If they fail again, the adults will fall into a passive position, and even all the previous efforts will be put into vain. Do you care about this?”

Yang Ling looked at her calmly for a while, suddenly closed her eyes and said tiredly: "Only you know my heart... Qiyun, if you lose again this time, I don't even know what to do? These days, I looked calm and composed in front of others. But my heart was like a big rock falling from my heart.

My head kept hurting. If these soldiers could not be released successfully, let them blossom everywhere and change the decline of our army, I... I have exhausted the court's military pay. Faced with the mess in the six coastal provinces, I am afraid that I can only die..."

"Qiyun will meet and follow the adults in this life, and will no longer worry. If the adults really go to the country with death, Qiyun will be willing to accompany the adults to live up to their lives, and there will be no regrets in this life."

Yang Ling opened her eyes suddenly, looking at Cheng Qiyun who was still picking up chess pieces, and heard her understate the oath she said, moved: "Qiyun..."

"But... it's better to be immortal. You don't have to worry so much. As long as the war is really unfavorable, someone in the army will impeach, someone in the court will point out, and there will be a scapegoat to get this knife for the adult."

Her bright eyes stared at Yang Ling and said deeply: "Whether you are willing to say I am despicable or shameless, in short, I tell you now because everything is arranged. Even if you kill me now, they will prepare according to my order."

Her voice was soft and unspeakable, but the meaning expressed was ruthless and bloody: "I should have gone to hell, so I will be the evil one. The adults are for the country and the people, and they must not give up halfway through what they think and worry about!"

She picked up Yang Ling and tried to protect her, causing the general to lose the chess, and gently knocked: "When it's time to abandon her son, you must abandon her son! Including me!"

Yang Ling was stunned by her deep affection for her death without regrets and her cold and bloody attitude in the officialdom. He was moved, but also felt that this behavior was too contrary to his conscience. He stared at her in a daze. Yang Ling was thinking a lot, and could not say anything in rebuke or dissuasion.

At this moment, someone shouted loudly: "Report~~, report to the Governor General, the Southeast Victory, the Lu Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Wolf Soldiers broke through four Japanese pirates in a row, and are now sweeping towards Shanghai! Jiangsu and Shandong have heard news that the thousand-man team wins more than the fewer than the fewer, and the Japanese pirates are defeated one after another. Our army's morale has increased greatly..."

Yang Ling stood up suddenly, his excited voice trembled and said in disbelief: "Success! As long as a few victories are fought, the original officers and soldiers of the garrison will definitely regain their courage. This lifeless army will be reborn and the offensive and defensive momentum will change immediately..."

Cheng Qiyun glanced at him resentfully, and Yingying bowed: "Congratulations to you, sir. In this way, Qiyun doesn't have to think about the method to harm others, so that the adults can't look at me like a snake or a scorpion."

Yang Ling was in a good mood and ignored her verbal words, but said excitedly: "I'll go ahead and find out the details first." As he said that, he turned around and ran away hurriedly.

Yang Ling carefully learned about the war reports from various places. Under the leadership of thousands of guards from various provinces, the Ming army indeed won consecutive battles. The Japanese pirates had to gather troops to protect themselves, but these Japanese pirates had their own leaders, but they were forced to temporarily gather the situation and could not form a unified command at all. Under the attack of the Ming army with morale gradually recovering, the Ming army gradually disappeared. The Ming army had gradually changed from defensive to offense and defense stalemate.

The Ming army had the advantage of military strength, and had a good geographical advantage and harmonious people. Such a stalemate would inevitably change from quantitative change to qualitative change after a short period of balance of strength, becoming the Ming army's advantage on the battlefield.

After listening to the report excitedly, Yang Ling and Bai Chongzan and others quickly conveyed the latest instructions, and then rushed back to Cheng Qiyun's room and said: "Qiyun, I will tell you the details. If you write a memorial with passion, you will probably be worried about the emperor's days in the capital."

Cheng Qiyun waved her hand, and a man in a blue-robed Confucian robe respectfully bowed to Yang Ling and quietly retreated.

Cheng Qiyun stood up and said, "I'm just thinking about it. The nine major cities in the north are the most stationed in Liaodong, Yansui, Xuanfu, and Datong, and all the above four towns have their own troops. Now, the guards of the six provinces are mainly guarded by the elders. After this battle, the generals and school officials of the six provinces were all promoted by the elders. One of them prospered and the other was the ones who lost their losses. They must stand on the side of the elders. This letter was sent back to Beijing and won the emperor's favor. At that time, they were all powerful. Who dared to shake the tiger's power again?"

Yang Ling was stunned. The excited expression on his face was curled away, and he pondered for a moment: "Now the Japanese pirates have been frustrated. They are using the image of many islands and mountains in the south to move in Fujian. They said that I am gathering a large army to pursue the southward, trying to annihilate the enemy and the southeast corner. Lower the tone and do not mention the words of great victory."

Cheng Qiyun held back her smile and bowed, "Do you just want to make money but not to make a name for yourself? Hehe, obey your orders!"

Yang Ling rolled his eyes and snorted angrily: "What scapegoat you have found for me has not settled with you yet. As an aide, I advise my superiors to be your duty, but I insist on saying the right thing, damn it! "

Cheng Qiyun didn't care about his reprimand, but just smiled and said, "Sir, I'm just saying that. If you want to change to a fool, I'm too lazy to tell him! Haha, Sir, the sea dog has the intention of negotiating. His appetite is indeed as I expected, and it is obvious that he has hidden evil intentions. However, since he is greedy, he will inevitably take advantage of it. I don't think it will take long to get this cat and dog to be finished!"

Her eyes rolled and said, "This dream of being the governor of the sea is very filial to the adults. Not only did she bring a bunch of gold, pearls and jade treasures, but also a stunning beauty from a foreign country. I have already sent her to the adults' room..."

Yang Ling was surprised and said, "What? What the hell are you doing? Am I... not..."

Cheng Qiyun said disapprovingly: "Isn't he a lustful person?" There are so many things to do in the officialdom. Mr. Bai is nearly 50 years old and looks like a gentleman. The war is so tense. Didn't he go to the Red Mansion every night?"

As she spoke, her face turned red and she glanced at Yang Ling and said, "My lord left Beijing alone and kept himself clean. If it weren't... If it weren't for coming to Beizhi from time to time, it would have been suspected that he would have had a secret disease."

She lowered her head and said sympathetically: "It's just... I'm so unwilling to accept it..."

"If the two of them really crossed the clouds and rains, wouldn't they say 'injust in vain'?"

Yang Ling's heart was thrilled by her ambiguous tone and a submissive expression. He knew that she was intentionally teasing her, but she didn't dare to point it out. He stamped his feet and said, "You, let that woman stay in my room for a longer time. If you don't eat fish, you will make you fishy, ​​cough!"

Cheng Qiyun lowered her head honestly and waited until he pulled out the door before she raised her head and smiled sly, like a smug little fox.

After Yang Ling said that, he hurried to his room. His yard and Cheng Qiyun were separated by a flower pond, and passed through two moon gates. As soon as Yang Ling entered the room, the two maids serving hurriedly bowed and retreated, obviously they had been ordered by Cheng Qiyun.

Yang Ling didn't care about them and rushed into the inner room again. The area in Jiangnan was originally luxurious, and his residence was even more rare, extremely luxurious, without any vulgarity.

A beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes was watching the jade on the bed curtain in the room. Suddenly, she heard footsteps and hurriedly turned back. When Yang Ling saw this beautiful girl, she saw the beautiful girl with black hair, wheat-colored smooth skin, and charming eyes.

She was wearing a dress of a woman from the Central Plains in the inner room, with a narrow-sleeved shirt and a long skirt that dragged the floor. She was as thin as a cicada's wing inside. She was tight and untidy and wrapped around her plump breasts. A seductive cleavage was deeply entangled, outlining a thrilling hot curve, making people blush and hot.

Although this woman was made by a pirate, she was filled with the beautiful colors of the sky, her bright light, her deep eyes, high nose, and sexy and plump lips, which had a unique exotic style. Yang Ling, who was familiar with the appearance of foreigners, did not have the awkward feeling of first meeting in the eyes of Yang Ling, who was familiar with the appearance of foreigners, had her charm and charm even more attractive.

Huh? It looks a bit like the beauty of Penelopek in Spain. What's even more rare is that her skin is better than her. Yang Ling's anger subsided a little. She looked her up and down and said in surprise: "Do you understand Chinese? Are you a Folangjiren?"

The beauty opened her eyes wide and said happily: "You... sir, I know Folangji?"
Chapter completed!
