Chapter 102 Collect Pirates
Before Xie Wenying could explain anything, the sound of the alarm snails on the island suddenly blew up, and then pirates rolled in and crawled in.
"The big owner, the big thing is not good. Countless boats came to the sea and came to us."
Xie Wenying reacted very quickly and hugged his fist and said, "Now is not the time for brothers and you to show their determination. The most important thing is to shout out the little ones to fight against them first. Let's wait until the enemy is repulsed."
Ye Cheng also panicked and suspected that Xie Wenying's idea just flashed in his mind, and he was not really sure that Lao Xie was a traitor.
"Yes.. Gather Renma first, damn it, does the thief surnamed Song really dare to come? I will let him come back."
Ye Cheng picked up the big knife and ran out. Although I keep cheering myself up, I don't have enough confidence to listen to it.
Xie Wenying followed Ye Cheng. He did not know martial arts. Of course, he would not be stupid enough to personally fight at Ye Cheng. He came to the mouth of the cave, winked at several men, and then quietly retreated to one side.
Ye Cheng also has a lot of guards around him, so Xie Wenying's men can only find mobile hands. This is what they discussed earlier.
At this time, on the sea outside the island reef, the Ruan brothers, Zhang Heng, Zhang Shun and others have led the ship to block the exit of the island reef and can attack at any time. In order to wipe out the pirates, Song Qing mobilized all the ships that could go to sea, and even some fishing boats were requisitioned.
Ye Cheng's pirate nest is not dangerous because he is a little arrogant. Five thousand pirates are invincible in this sea. Over the years, the government has seen them hiding and never dreamed that someone would attack them. Therefore, when choosing a stronghold, the terrain is not taken as the focus.
This is the negligence that has killed them.
At this time, it was almost midnight, and the moon was shining on the sea. Although the sight was not very good, it was still no problem to see the outline of the pirate ship.
Ruan Xiaoer did not need to aim at the black pirate ship at all. Under an order, countless ignited tribulus were ejected by the catapult and fell to those pirate ships that seemed to be still sleeping.
Song Qing said that he would try to keep pirate ships, but the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and he could not sacrifice too many lives for the sea ship. This was what Song Qing personally explained before they went on the expedition.
Fire thisbium is thrown out in the form of a scattered flower, and there is no clear goal at all. In a blink of an eye, it fell on the pirate ships, followed by explosions one after another. These wooden pirate ships could not withstand the explosion of gunpowder and soon lit a fire. Then, under the blowing of the sea breeze, the fire turned into a blazing fire and gradually spread away.
The pirates on the island were dumbfounded. Some of them knew how to put out the fire, and many of them stared at the ships in the fire with knives and arrows.
Can naval battles still be fought like this? But what's the use of understanding now? Even if you take out the fire thisurium on the island, you have to be able to get on the boat and throw it on others!
Standing on a high place, Ye Chengdu, who led the pirates to prepare for the enemy, was about to cry. These sea ships are all their own efforts! Why is it gone? What else can you rely on to dominate the sea in the future?
It's hateful that these Liangshan grass bandits dare not fight against each other clearly, and only dare to play this kind of conspiracy.
Xie Wenying, who was beside him, lost the opportunity, said, "Our ship has been burned. Liang Shan only needs to stay at the sea mouth to trap us. We have to make plans early."
One sentence reminded Ye Cheng that the daily use of the island requires external access. If the sea is blocked, these 5,000 people will not last for a few days. What should we do then?
Ye Cheng couldn't help but retreat. He could run, but what about these 5,000 brothers? Is it easy to have today's situation? It's really a little unwilling to give up like this. And those treasures that can't be taken away, it hurts to think about it.
Seeing this, Xie Wenying said, "The big master will stay in the green mountains. Don't be afraid that there will be no firewood. You withdraw first. Brother, I will stay in Liangshan grass bandits to fight to the death. If there is anything to do, the big master can come back."
What a good brother. It is said that only at the critical moment of life and death can a person's nature be seen. This sentence is the most suitable for Lao Xie.
A trace of suspicion just now flew out of the sky. Ye Cheng patted Xie Wenying's arm and said with emotion, "Old Xie, it has to be you at the critical moment!" Don't worry, brother, I will come back."
"Big head, let's go! I'm afraid it will be too late."
The sky is getting clearer, and the view of the sea becomes clearer. Ye Cheng's fleet is gone. How to fight against Liangshan's fleet by relying on an escaped ship?
Ye Cheng also knew this truth. He hugged Xie Wenying and quietly walked away with several cronies. There is a secret water hole behind the island reef, where there is a small boat that Ye Cheng left for need from time to time, but I didn't expect that it was really used today.
Looking at Ye Cheng's back, Xie Wenying sneered and wink at his brother Xie Wensheng. If Ye Cheng runs, his credit will be less than half, so Ye Cheng must stay, even if it is a corpse.
Xie Wensheng nodded with understanding and followed Ye Cheng with a team of cronies.
Everything was arranged, and Xie Wenying began to end the performance.
"Brothers, that bastard Ye Cheng left us and slipped away alone"
In fact, the pirates don't know who they are coming to attack and how many people are there? I was waiting for the big boss to speak and how to fight with the enemy, but I didn't expect the old man to slip away.
Many people looked back in astonishment, but saw that the big man who had just stood behind them had indeed disappeared.
What's going on? How can the big owner run away? But there is no need to lie to everyone, right?
The dragons had no head, and the pirates suddenly became panicked.
Seeing the opportunity, Xie Wenying said in a long voice, "Don't panic. Listen to me, Ye is unkind, but Xie can't be righteous. Xie will never leave his brothers alone. Now the ship is gone, and our future life is gone, so we can't make unnecessary sacrifices. Wait for me to negotiate with Liangshan people to ensure everyone's peace."
Xie Wenying is the second head, and Ye Cheng ran away. Naturally, the pirates have regarded him as the backbone. Hearing Xie Wenying's words, many people agreed, and some even proposed that Xie Wenying simply become the head of the family.
Xie Wenying will not be a pirate again, but now she has to agree temporarily in order to stabilize everyone.
Immediately send someone to raise the white flag and ask Liang Shan to stop attacking. Then lead people to put out the fire, separate the ship that has not yet caught fire from the ship that caught fire, and protect the ship as much as possible.
Ruan Xiaoer and others thought that the war would end so soon? These bloody Liangshan heroes, who have not seen blood for a long time, have been rubbing their hands on the ship and preparing to go ashore to kill.
When they saw the boat coming with the white flag, Liang Shan couldn't help shouting disappointment.
However, the Ruan brothers, Zhang Heng and others all know Song Qing's thoughts. At present, the strength of the navy is still very weak, and it is best not to fight a hard battle.
Although the sailors do not have actual combat training, if these pirates can be included, the strength of the navy will be greatly improved.
According to the previous plan, Xie Wenying led the pirates to surrender, and then brought the pirates ashore in batches. At this time, the shore had already been controlled by Lin Chong. With the cooperation of Lin Chong, Ye Cheng secretly executed several former capable generals and some detractors to eliminate the unstable factors in the pirates.
After the navy emptied all the pirates and Ye Cheng's accumulated treasures for many years, a fire burned the facilities on the island reef and completely erased the pirate stronghold.
When Xie Wenying surrendered with the pirates, Xie Wensheng had sent Ye Cheng's head to the ship of the Liangshan navy.
The next step is to adapt the pirates. It will take a long time to completely turn the scattered pirates into a command and disciplined army.
But Song Qing can afford to wait.
The navy has expanded to nearly 10,000 people, as well as Ye Cheng's accumulated treasures, which will lay a solid foundation for the development of the Dengzhou navy.
Song Qing held a big banquet in Dengzhou to entertain the meritorious personnel this time. Of course, the Xie brothers were invited to the first place.
Song Qing is willing to reuse the Xie brothers, of course, because of their familiarity with maritime affairs, but they are only civilian officials, and the navy is still under the absolute control of Song Qing.
The land area is becoming more and more stable, the appearance of Dengzhou is changing with each passing day, and the navy is also developing in an orderly manner. It can be said that the good news is one after another. Whether it was Liangshan Qunxiong, Chen Dong, Xie brothers and others, they were very excited and drank a lot of wine.
Of course, Song Qing is very happy, not only to receive pirates smoothly and strengthen the navy, but also that he has decided to leave for Liangshan tomorrow morning to see his son who has not yet taken photos.
He has made arrangements on the side of Dengzhou. There are Gongsun Sheng and Zhu Wu, Chen Dong, Xie brothers and others. Except for Lin Chong and Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and Li Kui, most of the generals will stay here.
When the banquet was held at **, Meng Kang raised his glass. First, he said congratulations, and then said to Song Qing, "Chief, I guess two new ships will be set off when you come back. I would like to ask you to name these two ships."
Please ask the general manager to name the ship? That's a good idea. The people present calmed down and looked at Song Qing. They all want to hear what the general manager will name the two new ships.
Song Qing blurted out almost without thinking: "One is called Wushuang, a Haotian" which was originally the name he was going to give to his children, but now it has become the ship number of the navy ship.
Unparalleled, Haotian.
After thinking about it, everyone shouted one after another.
Imagining the majestic posture of a warship named after his child galloping on the sea, Song Qing couldn't help but be fascinated.
Xie Wenying also said, "I heard that the general manager is happy to have a noble son. I don't know if the little prince is famous?"
Song Qing smiled and said, "My son's name is Haotian"
The son of the general manager is called Haotian?
Many people here are learned. After hearing the name Song Qing gave to his son, their eyes changed.
What is the largest in the world? Of course, it is the boundless sky.
The intention of Song Qing to give his son such a name is self-evident.
