Chapter 193 Gathering of Thieves
The disappearance of Qian Song and Wang Hong, although Zhang Hu tried his best to block the news, it soon spread on Nanri Island. It didn't take long for the news to spread. I don't know who spread it, and even the people around him knew about it. The whole coastal area of Fuzhou was for it. Vibration.
Zhang Hu was very angry about this matter and secretly made He Guang send someone outside to find out the news, trying to find out who did it.
But after half a month, the people he sent didn't even find out any useful information, and Qian Song and Wang Hong disappeared temporarily as if they had evaporated from the world.
Although Zhang Hu suspected that this matter was inseparable from Fang An and Ma Feng, Zhang Hu could never catch any of Fang An's handle, and after the accident, Fang An and Ma Feng became more peaceful, even leaving home, which also made Zhang Hu have no choice but to take them.
Zhang Hu had the intention to clean up Fang An and Ma Feng, but he also felt that there was a feeling of hatred and instability brewing in the crowd. Although the old departments of Qian Song and Wang Hong did not have much response to this matter on the surface, Zhang Hu also knew that it was Fang An and Ma Feng secretly suppressing him. That's why these people didn't make a fuss.
Although Zhang Hu is not very smart, he is not a fool. He knows very well that if Fang An and Ma Feng are touched at this time, his shark gang will immediately become a pot of porridge. In addition, through the recent small pirates around him refusing to accept his summons, he also feels that his shark gang is a little It is precarious.
If anything happens inside his shark gang now, it is not guaranteed that it will collapse soon, so even if he suspects Fang An and Ma Feng are behind this matter, he does not dare to touch them easily for the time being, and can only secretly let his cronies keep an eye on some of their actions.
In addition, he spread his anger on those nearby colleagues who kept greeting, and once again sent people to inform these nearby colleagues one by one, limiting them to see him on Nanri Island before May.
At the same time, he also ordered He Guang to lead people to raid the wild horse island, which is the place where a pirate named Lu Sheng is located.
And Lu Sheng had two boats and dozens of his men. The last time the shark helped him go to Nangantang to help box, Lu Sheng did not go. This time, Zhang Hu summoned his colleagues nearby. Lu Sheng also heard some gossip and did not dare to go. As a result, it was a new account and old account. He was the first to be targeted by Zhang Hu and sent He Guang. Go and plead guilty to him.
He Guang took five boats and killed one or two hundred people to kill Mustang Island. After Lu Sheng learned the news, he knew that he was not the opponent of the shark gang. He took people to board the boat and abandoned Mustang Island and fled, but he was still caught up by He Guang. Lu Sheng couldn't beg for mercy and had to resist.
After the battle, Lu Sheng's boat was injured by He Guang on the spot. The ship was controlled by the shark gang. Lu Sheng was also killed on the spot. More than 20 men and his family were killed with him.
And Lu Sheng's remaining boat, led by his brother Lu Tong, was lucky enough to break through and escape to Dalian Island and spread the news.
This matter has once again caused an uproar around. Although the land government does not pay much attention to it, it is a matter of life and death for the pirates operating in this area.
Yu Xiaotian also learned the news quickly, and also received a message from Zhang Hu again, telling him to meet him on Nanri Island before May, and also asked Yu Xiaotian to explain Zhu Da's matter.
Zhang Hu also remembered Zhu Da's incident during this period. He sent Zhu Da to find Yu Xiaotian, but Zhu Da disappeared inexplicably. Later, he sent someone to ask the sea wolf. The sea wolf insisted that he had never seen Zhu Da.
Although the people of the Shark Gang later found Zhu Da's sunken ship in a reef area and sent people to explore it, they did not find anything valuable. They could only judge that Zhu Da was unlucky and delayed at sea. He encountered a typhoon and was blown by a boat to this reef area and sank.
But what makes them feel strange is that even if Zhu Da's ship hits a reef and sinks, there are still more than 30 people on the ship. These people live on the sea all year round, and there are islands nearby. Even if they hit a reef and sank in a typhoon, they are unlikely to be completely destroyed and none of them can escape.
Later, the people of the Shark Gang searched the surrounding islands and did not find a living person on Zhu's ship, so this matter was over.
However, Zhang Hu was always a little worried about this matter. He was a little suspicious of the strangeness of Zhu Da's incident. He vaguely felt that it was not related to the sea wolf, so he simply said it together this time and asked Yu Xiaotian to go to Nanri Island to explain this matter in person.
This is equivalent to forcing Yu Xiaotian to the corner. He knows that this is Zhang Hu's ultimatum. If he doesn't go, it is equivalent to completely tearing his face with the Shark Gang. Next, Zhang Hu will definitely clean up these people one by one.
After Qian Song was rescued, the sea wolves on Treasure Island did one more thing. Every three or five times, there was a boat to wander around Dongshayu. Similarly, there would also be a boat on the other side of the Shark Gang as their sentry boat, and would often go to Dongsha Island, an island that received little attention.
Although Zhang Hu strengthened the control of his opponent and the surveillance of the other party, An and Ma Feng, his ability was limited and he could only control some people. He could not stop the sentry ships patrolling around Nanri Island every day, which made Fang An and Yu Xiaotian take advantage of the loopholes.
Fang An secretly bought a sentry boat. The sentry boat was full of Qian Song, Wang Hong and his cronies. Although one responsible for leading the boat was Zhang Hu's subordinates, he was also secretly bribed by Fang An and began to work for Fang An.
So this sentry ship set up a liaison between Fang An and Yu Xiaotian and became their liaison ship, and Dongshayu became the place where they met because it received little attention.
News about Qian Song's injury and Wang Hong's gradual recovery were quickly passed on to Fang An, and Fang An also passed on the recent situation of the Shark Gang on Nanri Island to Yu Xiaotian.
So at present, Yu Xiaotian dared not know everything about Zhang Hu's every move. At least he knew that he was inseparable, so after receiving Zhang Hu's ultimatum, Yu Xiaotian also decided to start taking action.
Yu Xiaotian led several ships that could be used for fighting. Recently, they have been operating very frequently at sea and training under the opponents of fierce soldiers and horses. Both old and newcomers are required to be able to adapt to life and fighting at sea.
In addition to normal cruise hunting, his four ships are often divided into two groups at sea and conduct offensive and defensive drills with each other when they are free.
In addition, several rescued men of Wang Hong and Qian Song also joined the sea wolf. Three of them are old sea wolves who have been following Qian Wang on the sea for a long time. They have extremely rich experience in fighting at sea, which greatly makes up for the lack of experience among Yu Xiaotian's men.
Soon they captured a ship in very good condition, almost a brand-new Haicang ship, which increased the strength of the sea wolf a lot.
Now in Xiaotian's hands, there are as many as five ships that can be used for maritime warfare alone, including one light and medium-sized lucky boat, a slightly smaller boat, a Haicang boat, and two bird boats. The structure of a fleet of this scale is relatively reasonable enough to cope with a small-scale maritime conflict.
The new Haicang ship was named Sea Shark by Yu Xiaotian. The captain temporarily ordered Wang Hong to serve, and the crew was transferred from the existing departments.
Wang Hong seemed to have the vitality of a cockroach. His collarbone was pierced a hole, but he recovered quickly. After a few days of delicious food, and the kidnapped Langzhong treated him, so he quickly came back to life. This guy saw Ma Xiao and others shaved their heads and laughed at them, but when he learned that this was a sea wolf After the rules, Wang Hong was also cheerful. Without saying anything, he found a pair of scissors and cut his hair.
Then he found someone to shave his head and became a bald, showing his determination to follow Yu Xiaotian in the future, especially when Yu Xiaotian pulled back a Haicang ship and let him serve as the captain, Wang Hong patted his chest and promised that he would never live up to Xiaotian in the future.
Only because the identity of him and Qian Song and others could not be exposed at present, the ship was temporarily handed over to Meng Fei on his behalf. After he was completely healed and his identity could be revealed, the ship was officially handed over to him.
After receiving Zhang Hu's ultimatum, Yu Xiaotian and his men began a five-day armed parade along the coast of Fuzhou. Through various channels, he has now basically figured out the locations of several surrounding peers.
So Yu Xiaotian took his own fleet, first found Liu Yidao, and then found the one-eyed dragon with Liu Yidao, and then they found Lutong, who was hiding near Dalian Island,...
In five days, he circled around Haitan Island and contacted a total of six small group of colleagues in the sea off Fuzhou. Finally, these colleagues gathered on Caoyu Island.
This pirate party is also the first time in recent years without the participation of the shark gang. It used to be called by sharks and tigers, so these pirates gathered on Nanri Island. The most recent gathering was also on Xiju Island.
Two or three months after that, they gathered on Caoyu Island again, but this time the convenor was not Zhang Hu, but Yu Xiaotian.
Originally, with Yu Xiaotian's age and qualifications, he could not convince the public. He asked him to come forward to call these colleagues to meet, and others could not sell his accounts.
However, after looking at Yu Xiaotian's strength, these colleagues found that Yu Xiaotian, a latecomer, unexpectedly came to the top. In just more than half a year, his strength has increased several times. At present, he has vaguely become the strongest force in the coastal area of Fuzhou, except for the Shark Gang.
Coupled with what Zhang Hu has done recently, these small pirates have a sense of crisis. It is not strange for them to warm up in the cold weather.
In order not to be swallowed, they could only unite to fight against it, which was already an obvious matter of the lice on the bald man's head, so after being invited, these small pirates agreed to Yu Xiaotian's invitation and went to Caoyu Island to discuss how they should deal with Zhang Hu's case in the future.
Caoyu Island is located in the southern part of Haitan Island, across the land from the sea. There used to be pirates on the island, but later I don't know why the pirate leader died violently, and his men were scattered.
There is now a fishing village at both ends of the southeast and northwest corners of the island. There are about 100 fishermen engaged in farming and fishing on Caoyu Island. It is also a place where pirates often haunt and merchant ships accidentally take shelter from the wind.
There is a small island in the north of Caoyu Island, and a natural safe haven has been formed between the two islands. This time, the gathering place of small pirates along the coast of Fuzhou was selected in Caoyu Island.
