Chapter 181 Sacrifice Flag Battle
Now the Dutch are going to blackmail the government, which is passed on to his head, which makes Xu Xinsu quite painful. In fact, before Zhu Yifeng wants to attack Nanri Island this time, Yu Zhigao has forced Xu Xinsu to give him 20,000 taels of silver by pledging from Xu Xinsu's hand. Now this list is almost Eight thousand taels of silver.
Xu Xinsu is rich, but he can't stand such a pressure, but he can't do it. Now he has already annoyed Yu Xiaotian because he helps the government and colludes with the red-haired man to deal with the sea wolf. Recently, he has sent several ships to the old man. Whether Yan Siqi or Chu Cailao, he doesn't agree to escort him. , not to mention the sea wolf side.
Originally, Xu Xinsu also ordered a batch of artillery on the sea wolf, a total of more than 20,000 taels of silver. Previously, the sea wolf only delivered part of the artillery to him first, and the rest of the artillery, because he helped the government collude with the red-haired man, and was also refused to deliver it by the sea wolf. This time, Xu Xinsu lost more than 10,000 taels of silver.
Xu Xinsu had no choice but to secretly send a ship to the sea and go to the big man, but the three ships sent had no news as soon as they went to sea. Needless to think about it, they were intercepted by the sea wolf's ship or destroyed on the spot, or taken away by the sea wolf, making Xu Xinsu spit blood.
Now Xu Xinsu really regrets helping the government deal with the sea wolf, but there is no regret medicine in the world. Even if he is not happy, he has to pinch his nose to admit it, so Xu Xinsu has to pay out again to meet Weiter's requirements and provide a large number of supplies for Waite.
On the seventh day of November, after everything was ready, there was a sound of a gunshot in the whole Shenzhen-Shanghai Bay. Yu Zhigao, accompanied by Tian Youren, personally killed animals and sacrifice flags on the beach outside the Acropolis of Yongning. He also caught several detailed works of sea wolves and cut off his head on the spot.
Yu Zhigao is the son of Yu Dayou, a famous anti-Japanese general. He is a hereditary general. He has practiced martial arts since childhood and is very strong. Today, he is even more neatly dressed. He wears a set of bright silver bright armor all over his body. This kind of armor is excellent. The armor is wrapped in silver, and it is wiped snowy. He wears a red cloak on his back and stands It is majestic on the school platform.
At this time, the officers and soldiers gathered in Yongningwei also lined up on the shore, with banners like clouds, and the soldiers of all the generals also packed their bodies with bright armor, and their chests were majestic.
Many people of Yongningwei watched the bustle on the hillside from afar. When they saw the masts in the bay like forests and the sails covering the sky and the sun. In addition, in the bay, there were also several large splints of red-haired people moored with masts towering into the clouds, which was even more majestic.
Thousands of soldiers and sailor officers on the beach are lined up in separate queues. Although they are not very neat, their momentum is not small. The knives, guns and armor shine in the sunshine, and with the high-flag war ships in the bay behind them, people can't help but feel a passionate feeling. I feel.
"Tut, it's okay if the officers and soldiers don't do it. Now it seems that it's still the officers and soldiers! How can it be compared with the pirates! This time, even if the sea wolf is not destroyed, it will no longer be arrogant along the coast of Fujian! What a pity!" A thin man with his neck shrank and squatting on the hillside with his sleeves looked at the battle of the imperial flag below from afar, praising him and saying with a trace of regret to several shabby companions around him who also looked like clothes.
"Who said no? Although the sea wolf is powerful, it is still a thief anyway. This officer and army are officers and soldiers. If it is serious, it is still powerful enough! Look at this situation. We haven't seen Fujian for many years. It can be seen that Lord Futai is really cruel!" Someone said.
"Of course, don't look at the officials and soldiers, but after all, this century-old foundation of the Ming Dynasty is here. If you are serious, no one can stand it! Those sea wolves are good men, I'm afraid it's a big trouble this time!" Another cold and trembling exile looked aside and shook his head slightly. Obviously, they had no evil feelings about the sea wolf, but were worried about the sea wolf.
"Shh! Be quiet, don't you want to live? Unexpectedly, if you dare to say such a thing, if the people of the government listen to it, you will be punished as a gangster. If not, you will be treated as a sea wolf, just like Liu San, who sells sugar below, he will be arrested by the government and cut off his head!" After listening to their words, a man quickly said.
These people's faces suddenly became nervous. They looked at the flag below and began to sacrifice. With the sound of a drum, then there were several gunfires. More than a dozen people whose faces were full of blood were immediately pressed to kneel on the beach. Behind each of them stood an executioner with a ghost-headed knife, just behind him, just at the sound of the drum. At the moment of knocking out the last stress, these executioners raised the ghost-headed knife in their hands.
Those who were pressed on the beach were still desperately begging for mercy and shouting injustice, loudly arguing that he was not the meticulous work of sea wolves and begging for their lives, but at this time, who would listen to their defense? A knife flashed, more than a dozen blood lights immediately collapsed, and each head immediately collapsed. Rolling on the beach, the headless body twitched and fell on the beach. Yin Hong's blood splashed into the sand and soaked into the beach.
People who look at the lively on the hillside feel that their hearts are tight and their necks are a little cold. In fact, some of the people killed below know the detailed work of sea wolves, but they are just some people who walk through the streets and alleys to do small business. They usually talk a lot and like to brag about their insights when they have nothing to do, and will occasionally mention the sea. The wolf thing.
In the past, it was nothing to say, but now some people say that this will immediately be arrested by the officials of the government as a sea wolf, or they will be immediately arrested by officers and soldiers as a sea wolf, and it has become an animal for sacrificing the flag.
After these prisoners were executed, Yu Zhigao stood on the high platform and said a loud word to inspire the army's heart. With his order, the officers and soldiers gathered on the beach immediately took action.
A large number of officers and soldiers began to walk towards the ship under the shouts of the generals. Some ships docked next to the trestle, and some anchored next to the dock and put on springboards. Under the curses and command of the generals, the officers and soldiers stepped on the ships one after another.
The whole boarding operation lasted for about two hours to end. Thousands of officers and soldiers boarded the ship, and Yu Zhigao also boarded his newly built Dafu ship with Tian Youren under the escort of his own soldiers.
It is said that it is a big blessing ship. In fact, Yu Zhigao's boat is only a double mast blessing ship, which can only be regarded as the second blessing ship. Nowadays, among the officers and military sailors, there are already few blessing ships, and the only few remaining ships are also in poor condition. Most of the newly built ships are also some two The lucky ship, but the hull is somewhat reinforced so that it can be loaded with a Hongyi cannon. Compared with the large plywood ship of the Dutch, these warships of Daming seem to be a little smaller.
Before the officers' ships moved, the large Dutch splint boats docked on the outermost berth of the dock moved first. The sailors ran back and forth on the boat. Many sailors climbed on the mast and began to raise their sails. Some sailors went down to the rowboats, dragged the big boats with ropes, and began to move slowly. Get up.
At this time, wind sailboats only rely on the wind sails to provide them with power because they have no power, so when berthing and sailing, they must have towed ships to enter and exit the harbor.
These large splint boats, under the towed by the sailors with rowboats, began to move clumsily on the berth, slowly adjusted their course and drove out of the harbor.
When he watched these big splint boats move, Yu Zhigao snorted coldly. As the coach, he had not moved yet. Instead, these arrogant red-haired men did not listen to his orders at all, but acted first, which made him, the coach, quite unhappy, but he was helpless.
However, at least these red-haired people are relatively cooperative and didn't leave first. Today, they finally acted with them and did not act on their own, which is also rare.
Xu Xinsu was also included in this operation this time. Because Xu Xinsu spent so much money to offend the sea wolf to the extreme, he knew that it would not be easy to get along in the future, so he simply spent a sum of money on Yu Zhigao and became a hundred households under Yu Zhigao, and at least he had a lot of good. Boat, this is also his capital.
So Yu Zhigao was also willing to recruit Xu Xinsu. In this way, he had another help. This time, Xu Xinsu was ordered by Yu Zhigao and also participated in the action against the sea wolf. First, Xu Xinsu had several big ships in his hand. In addition, he also forced Xu Xinsu to follow the government and completely cut off the government and pirates. Wandering between the two ends.
Xu Xinsu looked at the warships gathered in the bay and sighed slightly. Although he was shocked by such a scene, he was still worried and uneasy.
Because he knows the sea wolf better than anyone else. After dealing with the sea wolf, he has seen the strength of many sea wolves. Although the officers and sailors seem to be powerful this time, in fact, the quality of the officers and soldiers is far from the quality of the sea wolves he has seen, which is not at the same level at all.
And he has seen several big ships of the sea wolf, all of which are some No. 2 lucky boats and that kind of flying fast boats. The number of artillery loaded on these ships is more than the number of artillery loaded on the largest warship of the officer's naval division, and those guns are also more sophisticated than the cannons of the officers.
