Chapter 265: Meet an acquaintance
A gunshot sounded, and the bullet shell with residual heat fell on the deck.
"Good shooting skills!" Several people around him cheered in unison. On the Tong'an ship not far away, the Dingfeng flag on the top of the tailmast was shot down.
The Thor was still too big, and he didn't stop the Tong'an ship in front of him several times; Zhao Xinxin wanted to have a patrol boat, and everything was over long ago. He held the telescope at this time and suddenly said in surprise: "Hey? Why is there a Dutch flag hanging on the tip of the foremast?"
Ding Guofeng looked through the scope and saw the red, white and blue flag on the foremast tip, so he asked: "Zheng Yi, do you know what the flag is going on? The civilian ships of the Qing Dynasty still have to hang the Dutch flag?"
Zheng Yi, who was standing behind him and looking up, quickly explained: "Sir, that is indeed the flag of the Red-haired Man. My father said that the Red-haired Man's ships were tall and large, and the artillery was also powerful, so the merchant ships along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong all hung the flag of the Red-haired Man to scare others."
At this time, the sky was already bright. Zhao Xin had seen a familiar face on the Tong'an ship through a telescope before. He decided to capture the ship, catch the "old acquaintance", and figure out why the Qing army attacked him like crazy.
"Bang!" Ding Guofeng fired another shot, and the Dingfeng flag on the main mast was still fluttering and failed to hit.
On the Tong'an ship, Deputy General Shi, Li Dagang, Taoist Ma and others were hiding under the stern mattress, and others were shocked by the gunshots behind him. Deputy General Shi was almost crying and shouted in despair: "Stop fighting again! Is there any end to it?"
The sails on the tailmast, the tents on the deck (the sails on the deck are like doors; after the sails fall, they do not prevent people from walking on the deck), the toilet cabinet on the left side of the ship, and the stern of the boat have been smashed to pieces by heavy machine guns, while the Mazu niche in the stern was miraculously undamaged and moved to the front cabin by the sailors on the boat.
Li Dagang was furious and thundered several times. He drew his sword and shouted to stop the boat and fight. But he was persuaded by Taoist Ma. Li Dagang knew that the more than a hundred people on his boat were no match for Beihai Town at all. He could kill his side with a quick gun without leaving any armor. But he couldn't stand being "flirted" by the other party, and Li Dagang no longer wanted to be a prisoner.
Under the random urging of Deputy General Shi, the sailors on Tong'an ship leaned on the only front sail and main sail, and put the rudder pole at the stern into deep water, quickly fleeing to the southeast.
"Ah! He ran very fast!" Zhao Xin said in surprise, then took the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Old Liu, follow up and bite them! Over."
Liu Sheng's reply came from the walkie-talkie: "Don't worry!"
After a while, Liu Sheng's loud voice came from the tweeter of the Thunder: "Listen to the Qing army on the wooden boat! You can't run away! Stop the ship and surrender quickly, we won't kill the prisoners!"
Li Dagang thought to himself that you wouldn't kill the prisoners, but you would have to have a ransom! He asked someone to ask for an official position before, but he only had 500 taels of silver left in his family. If he gave the ransom, he had to drink the Northwest Wind! Besides, he was not afraid of being shot, he would die at all; but the electric batons in Beihai Town had already cast a lot of shadows in his heart.
Deputy General Shi also learned from Li Dagang that Beihai Town prefers to pay ransom and releases people. He thought that if he was captured and asked the court to pay the ransom, he would not have enough brains to cut him down; so he didn't want to surrender. Since the other party did not use fast cannons to shoot himself, there would be some chance. What if those people were tired of chasing him?
In this pursuit of cats and mice, the two boats are getting closer and closer to Wailingding Island.
Chen Xuan woke up very early. Since she knew that she was not far from Zhao Xin, she felt more and more anxious and had not had a good sleep all night. When she got up, Chen Erya was holding the quilt and talking in her sleep: "The crab is so delicious~~"
As for seasickness, I got used to vomiting and seasickness, and I gradually adapted to seasickness. So after Chen Erya recovered, she began to eat very much, wishing to eat all the food that had been wasted these days. While staying on Nanao Island, Chen Jingdan bought some fresh seafood, and Chen Erya, who had never eaten crabs, killed five of them. If Chen Jishan hadn't stopped him, this girl would have eaten ten.
There were not many people on the deck of the lucky ship. Except for the sailors who climbed onto the mainmast to repair the pulley, several other sailors were smoking cigarettes on the bow of the ship and whispering. Chen Jingdan used a lot of silver, so the sailors were very polite to Chen Jingdan and his group. When they saw Chen Xuan walking onto the deck, they smiled and nodded.
Several seagulls who were foraging fleeing flew past the bow and made a chirping. Layer waves surged on the sea surface at dawn, thrusting against the hull and rocks.
Chen Xuan walked to the side of the boat, thinking about what Chen Jingdan told her.
"A Quan, after seeing Zhao Xin this time, you must persuade him not to run around anymore. At present, the population of Beihai Town is tens of thousands, but they are all pointing at him to maintain it. If something happens to him, let alone the lives of those refugees, our family will be in lingering."
Chen Xuan agreed with this. When she was nine years old, she was already sensible when she was sent to Chen Jingdan's house by her father. Although Chen Jingdan and his wife treated her well, Chen Xuan knew that she was a lonely person without a family. Although she was taciturn on her usual days, she had great ideas in her heart.
For Zhao Xin, she was actually more grateful than admiration. But for women of this era, it is difficult to distinguish between these two emotions. Chen Xuan lived in seclusion for many years and read many miscellaneous books. She thought that a talented man was worthy of a beautiful woman, and her future husband would have to be a disciple; but who knew she met a strange man like Zhao Xin.
However, Zhao Xin is very nice to her and does not dislike Chen Xuan's Tianzu; but the two of them often don't face each other, and they will be separated for a few days or even ten days. Chen Xuan also knows that men want to make achievements, and Zhao Xin has to run for the livelihood of tens of thousands of people under her. But the problem is that she needs to have a support so that she will not feel lonely.
Oitoto once advised her: "Zhao Xin is already very good. Look at the girls brought back from Jiangnan, which one is not awesome? Especially the Tang Xiao and Ertang, who come to him if you have anything to do, but I heard that he has always been polite. What's the name? Yes, keep a distance. Men just have to be busy. Look at your adoptive father. He left for half a year before, but I'm still waiting? Don't think too much."
In this indescribable mood, coupled with Chen Jingdan's inspiration, she got engaged to Zhao Xin. But the previous change in the jade pendant made Chen Xuan's heart rise again. What if something happened to Zhao Xin, what should I do in the future?
While thinking about it, Chen Xuan suddenly heard someone beside her say, "Hey? A boat is coming."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sailor at the top of the mast suddenly shouted: "Mom! What is that?!"
Chen Xuan walked to the other side of the ship curiously and looked north along the pointing of a sailor. He saw a tall wooden boat appearing from the north side of the island. But then, a giant white and blue boat also emerged. On the outside of the bow, the word "Thunder God" was particularly eye-catching.
"Dad! Brother Lu! Come quickly!" Chen Xuan shouted excitedly at the bottom of the deck. The person she had been thinking about day and night appeared. At this time, several sailors on the deck heard Chen Xuan suddenly change the tone of a young woman, thinking to himself, oh! This young man is actually dressed as a woman!
On the Tong'an ship, Deputy General Shi and Li Dagang also saw the lucky ship in the distance. Deputy General Shi turned his eyes and asked Li Dagang: "Governor Li, as you have seen in the past, what do those demons do to the people?"
Li Dagang thought for a while and understood what Deputy General Shi was going to do, so he said, "Qiu is not guilty."
"Great!" Deputy General Shi punched the palm of his hand and ordered the sailor on the boat: "Hurry! Go over! Hurry!"
Liu Sheng in the cockpit also saw the lucky boat parked in the distance. When he saw the Tong'an boat sailing towards the lucky boat, he thought it was going to be bad, so he shouted in the loudspeaker: "The boat in the distance! Get out of here quickly!"
The ship was already in chaos at this time. The sailors were not afraid of the Tong'an ship coming, but were frightened by the big white ship getting closer and closer. As the bell rang out quickly, the sailors on the deck were raising the anchor and letting the driver (windows) drop the sail.
Hu Chuantou shouted anxiously: "Hurry up!"
"Slow!" Chen Jingdan walked over, patted Hu Chuantou's shoulder and said, "Old Hu, believe me again, let's not move!"
"What?" Hu Chuantou was stunned, pointing at the white ship that was getting closer and closer and said to Chen Jingdan: "Master Shen, the monster is coming! What are we waiting for if we don't run away?!"
Chen Jingdan said with a slight look on his face: "That's not a monster, that's our people!"
"The boat ahead! No sailing is allowed! We are from the Xiangshan Association Navy Camp, so we need to board the ship for inspection!" A Qing army shouted loudly. On the deck, Deputy General Shi ordered more than 100 people under his command: "I will get on the lucky boat later and take everyone down for me! Do not kill them!"
The Painting Book Office from the Governor's Office in Guangdong and Guangxi said: "Mr. Shi, are you?"
Deputy General Shi smiled grimly and said, "I want the thieves to throw themselves into a jealous way and let the people on the lucky boat block the cannon for us! With these hostages, we can give some silver to exchange for freedom. After returning to the camp, each of us will be rewarded with thirty taels of silver!" After he explained, he said to his subordinates: "Do you understand what you understand?"
The Qing army No. 100 hurriedly said: "Abide by the military order!"
The bookkeeper said pale and said, "This, can this work?"
Deputy General Shi gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Sun, for the sake of this, I can only do this. Let's give it a try!"
When the Tong'an ship approached the Fu Ship, the Qing army Shuiyong on the ship immediately dropped the sails and threw out several flying hooks to hook the side of the Fu Ship. But who knew that the Fu Ship on the opposite side actually threw a few ropes, which surprised the Qing army Shuiyong. However, they didn't care about it and hurriedly tied the rope tightly.
On the Tong'an ship, several sailors turned the driver, and the heavy wall wood anchor slid into the water from the bow. Two Qing soldiers came to the Narcissus Gate and removed the closed wooden board piece by piece. (Narcissus Gate, an ancient sailing deck used for cargo and servants to transport goods.)
The Narcissus Gate on the Fu Ship had already opened, and a thick fir board reached out from the Fu Ship. The Qing army seemed extremely satisfied with the Fu Ship's cooperation. When they pulled off the last wooden board, the springboard suddenly rushed forward and stood firmly between the two ships.
Several Qing soldiers with swords were about to walk onto the springboard, when several figures suddenly appeared behind the side of the Fu Ship opposite, holding a "short gun" in each hand. Faced with the sudden change, the Qing army on the Tong'an ship was stunned. The thoughts were so fast that they thought they had encountered a pirate who was robbing the house. Deputy General Shi was one of them. He pointed to the opposite side and cursed: "Do you want to die?"
In the flash of lightning, Li Dagang saw a very familiar face among the people standing up opposite him. He tried to escape from the labor camp in Beihai Town several times, and then every time he was arrested, this person was responsible for interrogation and torture.
"Lu,Lu..."
Before Li Dagang could say anything, he heard a person on the opposite boat shouting: "Let's fire!"
"Bang! Bang!..." More than a dozen 36-caliber conical lead shots at the Qing army on the opposite deck. The smoke of gunpowder filled the Qing army. The Qing army on the Tong'an ship was caught off guard, and seven or eight people were shot and killed. The Qing army, which was already full of hope, suddenly fell into hell!
The Type 84 revolver needs to manually pull the hammer every time it shoots. Several trained Beihai Town intelligence team members are like the Western Rangers of later generations. They put their guns on their side, quickly pull the hammer with their left hand, and constantly pull the trigger with their right hand. The six bullets in the bullet cabin are like splashing water, and they are all shot in a blink of an eye.
The Qing army on Tong'an's ship was about to untie the bound rope, but he heard a shout from the opposite side: "Kill here! Don't let them escape!"
A dozen men holding short knives and wooden sticks shouted and stood up. They rushed to the springboard quickly and took a few steps to the deck of Tong'an ship. They fought against the Qing army surrounding them, and a scream suddenly sounded on the deck.
On the Thunder God, Zhao Xin and others stared at the scene not far away in amazement. When he heard the gunshots of the Type 84 revolver, he hurriedly raised his telescope to check. Finally, he saw Lu Shoushan who was commanding the charge on the Fu Ship.
Zhao Xin didn't bother notifying Liu Sheng with a walkie-talkie, and closed his hands and shouted at the Fuchuan, "Lu Shoushan, catch the alive!"
Li Dagang felt cold at this time! In order not to be a prisoner, he raised his sword and joined the melee.
By the way, Master Li was born as a martial arts school after all, and his martial arts skills were also practiced hard since childhood. As soon as he fought, two of Lu Shoushan's good men were immediately killed. Li Dagang thought to himself that even if he died today, he would take the guy named Lu to the back!
At this moment, a figure holding a long stick jumped up from the springboard. The man was on the side of the air, and the stick of more than one person was poked at Li Dagang's shoulder.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Dagang shortened his body and rolled forward, hiding behind the boat gangway. As soon as the man opposite fell to the ground, his stick shadow swayed and whipped at the neck of Mr. Qian.
The person who came was Chen Jishan. He practiced martial arts since he was a child and learned from the "Shenquan" Guo Yongfu. He practiced good kung fu and was especially good at "Tai Chi Changquan". Some people later verified that Guo Yongfu, the "Shenquan" of the Qianlong period, was Chen Youfu, the descendant of Chen's Tai Chi. This man changed his mother's surname and fled to Shanxi because he accidentally killed someone when he was young. The "Tai Chi Changquan" that Chenjiagou once lost was "Hongdong Tongbeiquan".
It is estimated that Guo Yongfu would never have imagined that he was given the title of "Divine Fist" by Qianlong, but his disciples went to the command of the "rebels".
The Qianmao opposite saw the shadow of the stick, and shouted: "Good it!" Then he raised his knife to block it. Unexpectedly, the stick looked slow, but in fact it was extremely fast. With a "bang" from Mr. Qian's blade, Mr. Qian's neck was interrupted!
When Li Dagang saw it, he thought it was a mess! He met a master. Just as he wanted to get up, a short knife stabbed him in the head. Li Dagang waved his knife to block it, and kicked his right foot hard on the other party's ankle. With a "click", the man holding the knife fell to the ground with a muffled groan.
After Chen Jishan finished packing up the Qianmao, the fir stick in his hand kept stabbing out. Three or five Qing soldiers were hit in the abdomen, and they were sweating all over. They couldn't even shout. Li Dagang had already arrived at the springboard when he was not paying attention. He rushed up to the springboard with one arrow. Just as he was about to rush to the opposite side, Chen Jishan's stick that was like a shadow followed him chased him again. This time, Li Dagang had no time to turn around and was stabbed in the back with a stick. He groaned and fell forward. He forced himself to get up again, but suddenly his body sank, and several people pounced on him one after another, making him unable to move.
Deputy General Shi, who was standing under the mattress with a knife, was at this moment, and the Zan Painting Book Office, who was hiding behind him, was already scared to death.
Several Qing soldiers on Tong'an ship stood behind the crowd. When they raised their three-eyed guns in their hands and were about to point the medicine with the fire rope, Lu Shoushan on the Fu ship opposite was sharp-eyed and hurriedly shot the Qing soldiers with his subordinates. But the Qing soldiers hid in the crowd and squatted down when they heard the gunshots, but they were not hit. But the dozen Qing soldiers outside were in trouble, and they shot them in a mess, and howled in a tragic way. The lucky Qing soldiers were so scared that they quickly dropped the three-eyed guns in their hands and knelt on the deck and did not dare to move.
Suddenly, the "bang bang" gunshot sounded like a bean, and the fir on the main mast was beaten with wood chips flying around, which scared the Qing army and the Thunder God was posted!
Lu Shoushan and others held guns in both hands and shouted at the Qing army on Tong'an's ship: "Surrender! Stop the weapon and don't kill it!"
At this time, I heard the loudspeaker on the ship shouting: "Put down your weapons and if you don't surrender, we can fire!"
Chapter completed!
