Wang Xian arrived in Suzhou the next morning, and with him, in addition to Zhou Yong and the monks, there were also Erhei, Long Wu and others. Ling Xiao did not clamor to come this time, but just told him that he would definitely come. Protect his wife and children. Apparently after this incident, Miss Lingxiao has completely grown up...
As soon as he arrived in Suzhou, he met Deng Xiaoxian. Deng Xiaoxian brought bad news. Ji Gang and others had set out to sea from Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture! They had actually built ships and prepared supplies for this day. has arrived.
"What, you went to sea?" Erhei stared at his one eye and said with a frantic look on his face: "Where can I find this?!"
"They won't go far!" Wang Xian said resolutely: "Why else would you arrest my family members?!"
Everyone thought so. Before Ji Gang left, he went back to Beijing to arrest Wang Xian's family. He obviously hated Wang Xian to death and must seek revenge on him before leaving. Ji Gang would never have been like this before he saw Wang Xian. left!
"Our analysis is also the same," Deng Xiaoxian agreed with Wang Xian: "We believe that the reason why Ji Gang and others left the sea was because they were worried about being pursued by the government, so they had to flee to the sea first. But before settling the accounts with the adults, they should not If they go far away, they are probably hiding on an island somewhere offshore, waiting for adults to find them!"
"It makes sense." Wang Xian nodded and said coldly: "Then we will do what he wishes and find them!"
"We are already looking for it, but our Beizhen Fusi's strength is not at sea," Deng Xiaoxian sighed: "It is very difficult to find."
"Yes." Mr. Long Wu nodded and said, "There are thousands of islands along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there are hundreds of them that can be inhabited. We may not be able to find them in time if we find them ourselves."
But who can I turn to for help? Everyone has no idea.
Wang Xian thought for a moment, stood up and said, "You guys have a rest first, I'll go out for a while."
"Who have you thought of asking for help?" Everyone looked refreshed.
Wang Xian nodded, but he actually didn't know what he was thinking.
Xugong Island is located a hundred miles southwest of Shanghai County. It is hidden among the archipelago and is very inconspicuous.
The shape of this island is very unique. It consists of two opposite hills squeezed together to form a huge Y-shape. The two hills are like two long arms, surrounding a flat and wide harbor. On the back But it is a cliff more than ten meters high!
If you look carefully, you will see that there is a beacon tower built on the top of the mountain, and dozens of large and small warships are parked in the harbor in the valley! This is actually a very good military port!
In fact, the origin of the name of Xugong Island is closely related to the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Guogong Xu Da! At that time, Xu Da led his troops into the sea to clear out Japanese pirates, and he took a fancy to this uninhabited island at the time. A post was set up on the island and a military port was built as an outpost to attack Japanese pirates. This is how everything came to be on this island. In order to commemorate Xu Da, people named the island Xugong Island, and also built the Xu Gong Temple on the island, which is still popular today. .
By the Yongle Dynasty, in the face of the Ming Dynasty's unprecedentedly powerful navy, the Japanese pirates were completely extinct. The place had lost its former use and the army had withdrawn. Only some fishermen refused to leave and still made a living by fishing on the island. Although life was poor. , but the advantage is that there is no interference from the government, and you are free.
However, the peaceful life of the islanders was completely broken three days ago. A huge fleet broke into Xugong Island and anchored at the pier. Countless men in well-dressed clothes got off the ship, and in the blink of an eye, the entire The island was occupied. The islanders were driven out of their homes and gathered into military camps. They were forced to wash and cook for the army. If they disobeyed a little, they were beaten or even killed!
The lives of the islanders suddenly became dark, and they didn't know when it would end.
Not only the islanders, but also these uninvited guests are in the same mood! They are Ji Gang's troops who escaped from Shanghai County. There are at least 50,000 to 60,000 Jin Yiwei, and they are willing to follow Ji Gang into exile, that is, these 5,000 to 6,000 die-hards Brothers. The rest of the people fled for their own lives. Ji Gang didn't care anymore, he couldn't control it. In fact, the five or six thousand people at the moment were overwhelming him.
Leaving the prosperous and prosperous Ming Dynasty and escaping to this island full of water, this was also the first step on the road to escape. How could the Jin Yiwei soldiers, who were accustomed to being domineering and domineering, accept this?
Right now, they live in abandoned military camps. Those barracks are in disrepair. The doors and windows have long been gone. The skylight shines through the roof. At night, the sea breeze roars, and the officers and soldiers are all frozen into popsicles. What's even worse is that they don't have a stutter. Yes, two meals a day, both of which are rice soup that is refreshing and refreshing, are not enough to fill the gap between teeth...
Now it was time to eat again. There were several large pots set up in the open space in front of the barracks. The officers and soldiers gathered around the pots with broken bowls. You were fighting over each other to scoop out the rice soup. They all wanted to get some thick rice soup, but there was only so much in total. If you scoop up rice particles, they will disappear, and friction will arise. Originally, when they fell from the sky to the ground, the officers and soldiers were all angry. Is there any reason not to fight now?
So the meal turned into a fight. It started with a few people, but soon turned into a group fight. A large pot of rice soup was knocked over. The boiling water scalded more than a dozen officers and soldiers, who were rolling on the ground screaming.
The screams alerted Ji Gang and others in the Central Military Camp. Ji Gang stood in front of the window and watched the fight coldly. Yuan Jiang on the side couldn't help but scolded Xu Yingxian: "What are you doing standing there, tell them to stop!"
"Hey." Xu Yingxian was about to go out when he heard Ji Gang say coldly: "No, let them beat them to death. One dead person will save one ration, and ten dead will save ten!"
"This..." Xu Yingxian couldn't tell whether Ji Gang was angry or serious, so he had to look at Yuan Jiang for help. Yuan Jiang sighed and waved his hand to signal Xu Ying to go out first. After he left, Yuan Jiang said softly: "Captain, Governor, The brothers are unhappy and inevitably a little angry..."
"I'm not happy!" Ji Gang raised his voice and roared: "Zhu Gaoxu, this idiot, if he hadn't insisted on taking action in advance, how could we have ended up in this situation!"
"Hey..." Yuan Jiangxin said, whatever you say now is just an afterthought. It's better to say something useful. "Yeah. But it's useless to blame him now. We have to think about our next step. How can so many brothers still be there?" Waiting for you to make up your mind."
"Don't worry, I have already planned a retreat." Ji Gang said with a groan: "From the day Chen Ying was imprisoned by Zhu Di, I knew that one day would happen to me, so over the years, Master Zhuang and I have been planning a retreat. In case the gamble fails, the brothers will have a place to go."
"It turns out that the governor had a plan for a long time!" Yuan Jiang suddenly said: "I wonder why there are so many warships waiting for us!"
"That's right!" Ji Gang nodded, regaining some of his former domineering attitude: "Today I will let you know that there were people from me in Zheng He's fleet that sailed to the West. Over the years, I have already figured out that part of Nanyang. There are many island countries on the ocean over there, and the products are very rich. If you don’t cultivate them, you won’t be hungry. We can definitely go there and seize a country to become the king!”
"That's a good relationship!" Yuan Jiang's expression perked up. He couldn't dominate the country of the Ming Dynasty. If he could live happily in an overseas island country, his life would not be in vain. He said with a tight expression: "However, we are not enough.
?"
"Hahaha, you don't understand now." Ji Gang said with a strange laugh: "Those indigenous residents of the Nanyang island countries are ignorant and weak and can be bullied. If it weren't for the fear of attracting attention, the five or six thousand of us would be enough to
Take down the entire Nanyang!"
"Great!" Yuan Jiang was greatly excited and said excitedly: "Brothers will definitely be excited when they know this news!"
"I originally planned to settle the score with Wang Xian and then talk to the brothers." Ji Gang nodded and said, "But looking at this, let's talk now..."
"Yes." Yuan Jiang nodded heavily and said, "The Commander-in-Chief is wise!" After thinking about it for a moment, he asked for instructions: "When will we go to Nanyang? I need to tell my brothers about the approximate date."
"Tell them, kill Wang Xian and then we'll leave!" Ji Gang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said, "I want to sacrifice Wang Xian's head to the flag!"
"Yes..." Yuan Jiang hesitated and asked uncertainly: "Will Wang Xian...come?"
"Of course!" Ji Gang said resolutely: "I have already sent a message to him. He must come to see me within five days. If he comes one day late, I will kill his family members!" He said with a sinister smile: "That kid's biggest weakness is,
Even my mother-in-law, after hearing about it, she will definitely come here like crazy!"
"Even if he can get to Songjiang, how can he find this Xugong Island?" Yuan Jiang was worried about Wang Xian: "It is really difficult to find such an island in the sea."
"That's what he worries about." Ji Gang said with a cruel smile: "Anyway, if he doesn't get there for a day, I will kill one of his relatives. After killing four of them, send his heads back, and then we will fly away and let him regret it for the rest of his life.
Go!" Even so, Ji Gang still felt that there was a flaw in the ointment. It would be much more fun if he caught Wang Xian's wife and children, as well as Zhu Zhanji's little lover.
"Four... aren't there five people?" Yuan Jiang was responsible for guarding the five hostages. When Ji Gang said there were four hostages, he was stunned and said, "Aren't you going to kill Xu Miaojin?"
"No killing." Ji Gang shook his head and said: "She has nothing to do with Wang Xian. I caught her to retaliate against Zhu Di!" When Xu Miaojin was mentioned, his eyes gleamed and said: "When I take over the country in Nanyang, I will
Let her be my queen!" As he said this, he couldn't help laughing loudly: "The woman Zhu Di couldn't get has become my bride, so happy!"
Yuan Jiang also became interested, and laughed with Ji Gang and said: "Why do the Governor have to wait until then? After all, the situation in Nanyang is still difficult to say. Maybe two or three years have passed by the time we achieve our goal, so why do the Governor have to wait until then?"
Are beauties waiting in vain?" He said with a smile and said: "Since ancient times, the founding kings have not waited until the founding of the country to marry the queen. Why didn't the governor marry her first?"
"It makes sense." Ji Gang nodded, looked at Yuan Jiang approvingly and said, "I'm obsessed with it. Then you can give it a try."
