By mid-June, residents of Tianjin Wei were already hot during the day, but it was still very cool at night, especially on the sea.

There are many sea boats coming to Tianjin Wei. They are all close to the shallows and anchored when they are dark. If they are lucky, they will go into the harbor to stop. Although the seaside is a bit deserted, it is gradually becoming prosperous. Vendors have also seen the business opportunities at the beach, built many simple sheds, sold some wine and vegetables, or gambling and tapping.

Some people also think that this place will be valuable sooner or later. If you do it earlier, you might be able to make a lot of money like Haihe. But when you go to the yamen to inquire, you will find out that this place was bought by the two big merchants behind Sanjiang Trading Company a year ago. This wealth really depends on your perspective.

The leaders and businessmen who had spare money went to the commercial area to enjoy it, but those who failed made a fortune were making noise in the shanty towns. After the hour of the lunar calendar, they all became quiet and had to make a living the next day, so they didn't have the energy to sleep.

The sea and rivers were quiet, but some people did not sleep. On the beach and rivers, people held up torches and wind lights and swayed.

On the sea a few miles away from the shore, nearly a hundred ships were slowly sailing like seas. The one in front was a wide ship with a pointed bridle with a strait line that was much higher than the water. This ship had to be placed with two black cannons on the bow of the ship. It looked very majestic and a group of men dressed in short collars gathered on the bow.

But with the light of the wind lamp on the bow, these men were actually wearing very good armor, which was much taller than others. They had a steel needle-like beard and extremely fierce. He was carrying a big knife behind him. All the men around him were strong, including more than a dozen short and strong characters with shaved foreheads and a bun on the back of their heads.

The crowd looked at the direction of the land with concentration. Seeing the fire shaking, several people even climbed on the side of the boat. When the torch was over, one of them turned around excitedly and said, "Mr. Hu, you can dock!"

After saying this, the people around him were in a state of turmoil. Everyone looked at the man. A close distance from the man hesitated and said, "Thu Ye, the boss said that this Tianjin Wei cannot be touched, and hesitated like their business.-iifi;...r..." The man spat and said roughly:

"The family business is getting bigger and timid. We are rolling in the wind and waves. What else can't be touched by the beach? Grandpa Qi is in the north, and a child with unfinished hair is being fed here, and he is still afraid of a bird!"

After saying this, he suddenly raised his voice and said:

"Our brother died here, and his boat was taken away by him. Now that we are putting such a large piece of fat on our mouth, we will not bite it, we will be sorry for our conscience!!"

The surroundings burst into laughter and said in a verbal voice:

"What Mr. Hu said is that Tianjin Wei is too fat. If we don't take action, we will live enough in this life after we snatch it."

"Besides, if we don't rob, someone will take action sooner or later!!"

The man, known as "Tiger Master", waved his hand down and gave a cold command:

"Go on all kinds of orders and dock!"

The people surrounding the man suddenly dispersed and went to the side of the ship. Some shook with torches, while others shouted at the small boats under the ship.

There are four people standing on the tower, each facing one direction and observing attentively. The post is rotated every hour.

There will be military officers coming to check from time to time. If they are found to be sleepy and other slack things, they will be severely punished by military law. Two people have been pulled down and called numbers. After a hundred military sticks, they have been trampled on the military and have poor military history. Now they have not gotten up in bed.

When it was time for Hai, the area that could be observed in the building was dark, with only a few fixed places with lanterns hanging.

When observing the darkness, it is always boring. The sentry facing east faces a little sore eyes and wants to yawn. But with this idea, he immediately pinched his hands and used a lot of force, and tears were shedding from the pain.

It was in this blink of an eye that Deqin saw a flash of fire over there, and the weather was quite clear and could see the light in the distance at night. The soldier rubbed his eyes and thought he had read it wrong.

But the fire was always flashing, and there was light on the shore at night, often to guide the ships on the sea. The soldier glanced a few times and shouted to the bottom: "There is a fire on the east side!!"

The general below walked out of the house and looked up at the looking tower. The sentry stared carefully for a while and confirmed loudly: "It seems that someone was holding a torch, and there was light vaguely on the sea, but it was not sure if it was starlight, three people and three horses, set off in that direction! Go and notify the nearby camp and let them be on guard. The general below below called loudly i1 The soldiers under the looking tower were all nervously.

Ships of all kinds of sea were docked, and people on the boat jumped into the sea water that was not at their chests with weapons and walked towards the shore, with low shouts coming from time to time.

The boats parked by the sea were very quiet. At this time, they might have walked into sleep, perhaps they were awakening the movements outside, but they dared not make any moves.

The pirates were very quick and had little effort. There were already men holding swords on the shore. At a rough look, they looked about 4,000. Several of them had neat uniform numbers and short figures. Some of them were holding long swords with narrow blades, while others had short spears of seven feet.

The big man called Tiger Master stood on a sampan, and several people pushed the sampan to the beach. The big man got off the sampan, walked to everyone, and two followers holding torches followed him and stood behind him. The big man raised his voice and said:

"Walking for more than an hour, there is Tianjin Wei, gold, silver, women, and all kinds of good things. There are more than 3,000 soldiers stationed there. After the chaos begins, they may not be able to care about themselves...Silang and his friends come in from the Haihe River...The family has already divided the washing side, and they follow their own heads. Don't run around, don't fire, and retreat when they hear the sound of trumpet blowing. I'll say again, I'll rob it on my own ground, don't run around, don't fire, or the tiger's knife will be bloody, do you understand!"

The group of people standing on Xiao's face agreed, and the back was unevenly responded. The tiger grinned and chuckled, pulled out the big knife on its back and said loudly, "We men are going to be happy tonight, let's go!!" The pirates burst into laughter and followed them together.

From May, several ships covered with tarpaulin docked in various places where ships could be parked, and they did not allow others to get close to each other, which made it quite mysterious.

However, people and ships come and go everywhere in the Harbor Pier, and they ignore these trivial matters. Few people noticed that there were also people on duty on these ships, but except for changing shifts, they usually don’t leave the ship.

There are two shifts on the turn, and each shift is rotated to ensure that there are sober people on the ship at any time. Their task is very simple, which is to observe outwards in the gaps in the tarpaulin.

The pirates only anchored at the shallow harbor on the shore, and the soldiers on the boat docked by the sea knew it, but as they ordered in advance, they did not do anything, but just woke up the whole boat and waited there.

A large number of pirates walked towards the Haihe River commercial area, and the hustle and bustle shore began to quiet again.

The tarpaulin on the ships docked at the harbor was removed, and soldiers brought out several jars, opened the mud seals of the jars, poured the oil inside onto the cargo on the ships one by one, bundles of dry firewood.

Each eight people rowed the oars very slowly, but they were still moving. Although there were still pirates who were left behind on the sea, they were all listless because they could not go to the shore to loot.

In addition, the beach was desolate and I was not worried about being seen or something, but I didn't notice that several ships were slowly approaching.

Although at night, the largest wide ship was found by the light of the wind light hanging on the mast on the ship. A soldier squatted at the bow with a bow and arrow, staring nervously at the ship opposite, leaving only four people rowing. Someone behind placed the sampan hanging on the stern in the water and connected it with ropes.

There were five people on duty on the Daguang ship, chatting and cursing. When they heard two doors on the other side of the ship, they were all stunned and quickly picked up the weapons in their hands and walked over.

Before the person could get there, a "cry" sound, the fire suddenly ignited there. The boat was a wooden boat, and the individual was panicked and quickly accelerated.

The big iron nails hung with iron cables entered the patch board of the Guangzhou ship. The bow and stern of the flat-bottomed ship were connected to the Guangzhou ship, and the hull was almost stuck together. The soldiers quickly ran to the tail and went to the sampan behind. One of them had already lit the torch with the fire medium and lit the firewood poured with oil several times. Soon, the firewood was burning, the tarpaulin burned, the whole ship was burning, and the connected Guang ship also began to burn.

The iron nails were nailed in the hull, and the sidelines of the broad ship were high from the water. The people on the board could not cut off the iron chain and pulled out the iron nails. Someone had the courage to jump down, but was shot by the soldiers on the sampan and fell off the ship without saying a word. Now no one dared to come down and hid behind the ship.

Seeing that the fire had lit half of the entire Guangzhou ship, the ship could no longer be saved, and the pirates left on the ship did not dare to stay here and dived one after another.

The sampan over there was already far away. At about the same time, the largest ships in the pirate fleet were approached by fireboats and began to burn...

Even though the distance is very far, the raging fires ignited from the sea can still be clearly observed on the tower. The sentry warned loudly, and the generals below ran up the tower quickly. "The enemy is coming from the east, please give me a warning!" The sharp sound temple of the copper whistle sounded over the Haihe River...
