Of course, Boss Zhu, who was already dead, would not make any more ideas. After listening to Song Qing's report, Gao Qiaonan smiled and said: "These thieves are much easier to deal with than I expected, since they have posed themselves into the pit.

Jump, then it won’t be justified if we don’t greet you properly.”

Gao Qiaonan was in high spirits. After he finished speaking, he patted Song Qing on the shoulder and said, "Well done! If we can catch all the thieves from the Yueqing Ship Gang this time, I will personally guarantee that your two brothers will be free."

If you feel you can't stay in Wenzhou, I can let you settle elsewhere and start over."

"Thank you, Master Jun, for taking care of me. I will do my best!" Song Qing quickly bowed and responded. He took the risk to go to Yueqing Bay to work as a lobbyist, initially just to escape himself, but later he added the life of his brother Song Xian.

Now even my own future depends on this matter. I heard that working under the Haihan people has a good income and a stable life, which should be better than being a pirate in Yueqing and doing this knife-edge business.

many.

"You should also have a good rest tomorrow. Early the morning after tomorrow, I will send a boat to take you to meet the people from the Yueqing Boat Gang." After finishing speaking, Gao Qiaonan prepared to leave.

Song Qing gritted her teeth and said boldly: "Master Jun, before you take action, can you let me meet your family first?"

Takahashi Nan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll let you two brothers meet tonight. Remember, don't play any tricks with me!"

"Don't dare!" Song Qing responded repeatedly.

That night, Gao Qiaonan indeed sent someone to take Song Xian out of the temporary cell on a certain troop transport ship and bring him to meet Song Qing. After the two brothers met, they also shouted lucky that their group of pirates had done it when they attacked at sea.

One-third of the people were killed by the Haihan Army, but the two brothers survived unharmed. Song Qing even got a chance to escape safely, which was really good luck.

However, after Song Xian was captured, except for a brief interrogation, he was detained in the warehouse at the bottom of the ship for the rest of the time. He did not know what was happening outside, let alone the origin of the armed force that captured them. General Song Qing

After telling him what he had seen and heard in the past two days, Song Xian understood the situation he was currently in.

"Brother, I heard that the Haihan people destroyed Shibazhi last year and were very powerful. However, they have always been active in Fuzhou and Guangzhou. Why did they come to Wenzhou?" Song Xian was more careful and noticed Song Xian immediately.

A place of neglect.

Song Qing thought for a while and responded to Song Xian: "This Haihan people seem to have a deep hatred for the Yueqing Shipping Gang and want to kill them all. It seems to me that they came to Wenzhou specifically to deal with the Yueqing Shipping Gang."

"Brother, are they really just here to deal with the Yueqing Ship Gang? Do they need to use dozens of warships?" Song Xian had objections to this: "Although the Yueqing Ship Gang is stronger than us, it is just more people and more ships.

That's all, how do you fight against the Haihan gunboat? You have witnessed the battle the day before yesterday, and you don't even have a chance to join in and join the gang. Moreover, the Haihan warship is very fast, and if it is bitten, you will not be able to escape. Fight

With such a disparity in power, why did Haihan need to mobilize thousands of troops from Fujian to fight in Wenzhou?"

Song Qing thought the same thing. When the Wenzhou government sent troops to encircle and suppress the Yueqing Ship Gang, they did not send out so many troops. The Haihan people had no station in Zhejiang. If they just wanted to deal with the Yueqing Ship Gang, why would they bother to mobilize seven or eight warships?

It was enough to complete the task. But after much thought, he couldn't figure out why Haihan did this.

"Brother, the Haihan people's plan to deal with the Yueqing Ship Gang is probably just one of the purposes of their trip. Apart from this, there are also bigger goals." Song Xian made a very bold inference.

Song Qing blinked and said, "Are they going to attack Wenzhou?"

Song Xian shook his head and said: "The Haihan people have always been on good terms with the Ming Dynasty and are unlikely to do such a thing. Besides, they have an excellent foundation in Fuzhou and Guangzhou. Even if they want to rebel, they should be in the south. Why come to Zhejiang?"

Is there something going on in this unfamiliar place?"

Song Qing thought it reasonable: "Even if they can capture some places in Wenzhou, as long as they don't directly attack Wenzhou City, it will be difficult to obtain much supplies locally. They will still have to rely on transportation from Fujian. At that time, as long as the Fujian government is slightly stuck,

If they block their way out, they won’t be able to continue doing this!”

Although Song Xian had doubts, all the information he knew came from his brother's dictation, and all inferences came from his mind. In addition, his own vision was also limited. Where could he imagine that the target of the Haihan people was not just Wenzhou, but

It is necessary to control the key areas of the entire Zhejiang coastline. Of course, even if Gao Qiaonan tells them this answer, the Song brothers may not believe it. After all, such a big idea is not suitable for their activities, which are only a hundred miles around Yueqing.

For humans, it is really difficult to understand.

The two brothers discussed it for a while, but still couldn't figure out what the Haihan people's purpose was. However, they did agree on one thing. If they want to save their lives, they must make good use of this opportunity. But this can only be done

Song Qing was left to do it alone, and Song Xian could only repeatedly tell his brother to be careful in everything.

The next day, General Gao Qiaonan brought Song Qing up alone and taught him how to contact the Yueqing Ship Gang during the next day's operation and how to lead them into the encirclement planned by the coalition forces. Song Qing knew that it was a matter of life and death for him, so he also

Not daring to be careless, he kept everything Gao Qiaonan said in mind. In the afternoon, Qian Tiandun also took time to meet with Song Qing and revealed his true identity to him.

"Sure enough, he is from Haihan!" Song Qing finally confirmed his previous guess when he heard that the commander of Haihan revealed his identity. However, Qian Tiandun did not explain the purpose of Haihan's trip to him, but only encouraged him to complete it well.

He asked someone to take out one hundred taels of cash and reward him on the spot - of course, this silver must be left with the Haihan people first, and can only be taken away after tomorrow's matter is over.

Although one hundred taels of silver is not a big sum, it gives Song Qing reassurance. The high-ranking officials of Haihan have come out to express their attitude, so he does not have to worry about becoming a prisoner again after the war. But in the future, this pirate

I definitely can't continue this business.

The next day, Gao Qiaonan ordered people to pack up the more intact of the two pirate ships captured a few days ago. All the sailors on the ship were replaced by soldiers from the Haihan Militia, and then let Song Qing board the ship. Song Qing

Seeing this ship full of pirates dressed as Haihan soldiers, he calmed down. If he went there alone, he was a little worried that he would be directly detained by the Yueqing Ship Gang, but with Haihan soldiers accompanying him, he felt more at ease.

Song Qing watched from the deck as these Haihan soldiers piled rifles wrapped in oilcloth on both sides of the ship. Finally, they also moved two small cannons onto the ship. One was placed on the left and right sides of the ship, covered with oilcloth.

Song Qing did not dare to get closer and take a closer look, but looking at this posture, the Haihan people were obviously ready to take action, and they began to feel inexplicably nervous at that moment.

"Don't be nervous. When we enter the encirclement, our ship will accelerate away from the battlefield and will not participate in the battle. We bring these weapons on board just in case." Seeing Song Qing's nervous expression

, the captain came over to comfort him and said: "There is no need to be nervous about such a small scene. When we fought against Shibazhi in Fujian last year, hundreds of ships participated in the battle, and we still managed to make the pirates submissive."

It's not that the captain is nosy, but Qian Tiandun and others specifically told him to pay attention to Song Qing's mood. If Song Qing was too nervous when in contact with the Yueqing Shipping Gang, all previous efforts might be wasted.

Song Qing cupped her fists and responded: "Yes, thank you for the advice, Master Jun. I think the gangsters from the Boat Gang never expected this to happen. If they are caught unawares, they will be able to succeed immediately."

After Song Qing's ship sailed out, Haihan's various tribes also began to gear up, but they were much closer to the preset battle area than their opponents, so they would set off from Dongtou Island later.

Speaking of the Yueqing Ship Gang, the three leaders decided to do this deal without any hesitation. One hundred thousand taels of silver is by no means a small amount for the Yueqing Ship Gang. Even if they only get a part of it, they will basically catch up with them.

A year's harvest. As for how to discuss the share with Zhu Shanhai afterwards, the Zheng brothers and Nantie are not in a hurry. If Zhu Shanhai talks nicely, then leaving a few percent to the other party would be considered loyal. If Zhu Shanhai is determined

How much competition is going to take place? It’s hard to imagine that everyone will be the winner.

In order to ensure that they can secure this deal, the Yueqing shipping gang also went out in full force this time. A dozen ships loaded with three to four hundred people went out to sea. The two parties had previously agreed to sail near Xiaowushan Island at the mouth of Yueqing Bay at noon that day.

We met on the sea, but seeing that the time was approaching and the boat that was promised to lead the way had not yet appeared, Nantie became a little anxious.

"This guy surnamed Song said he would arrive before noon, but he hasn't shown up yet!" Nantie put his hand on his forehead and complained while looking at the sea in the distance: "If we miss the time, I will make sure he looks good!"

"Don't panic. Since they took the initiative to come to us, there shouldn't be any accidents. Let's wait and see." Zheng Pingda comforted him. But he didn't have much confidence in saying this. If Zhu Shanhai thought that the Yueqing Ship Gang was a lion

If you open your mouth and choose to go it alone instead of cooperating, then you probably won't be waiting for the other party's people today.

After about a stick of incense, a ship in front sent back a signal, saying that people from Zhu Shanhai were coming. Nantie quickly ran to the bow of the ship and looked around, and sure enough he saw a lucky ship approaching from the south, with its mast spread out.

Carrying a red-character flag, it is indeed Zhu Shanhai’s person.

"This guy Zhu Shanhai knows what's interesting! I can give him a share of the deal when it's over." Nantie cursed and muttered to himself, completely forgetting that the initiator of this matter was not the Yueqing Boat Gang, they just followed and helped.

After the ship approached, Nantie and others could see clearly that Song Qing, who had been negotiating with them two days ago, was standing on the bow of the ship, and they were completely relieved. Nantie shouted at the top of his lungs: "Brother Song,

Is this deal still possible?"

Song Qing responded loudly: "It can be done, it can be done! Just do as agreed before. Your gang's boat will follow the villain's boat. When they get to the place, the villain will raise a flag, and your gang's boats will find a place to hide.

That’s it.”

Before Nantie could ask a few more questions, Song Qing's ship in front had already begun to turn around and headed south. Nantie cursed a few times, but quickly ordered his ship to follow. The two sides had just agreed on how to proceed.

But Song Qing has never given a clear answer as to when and where he will take action. The Yueqing Ship Gang naturally understands that this is to prevent them from taking advantage of others, so now they can only follow the lead ship obediently.

OK.

Forty miles south from Yueqing Bay is the estuary of Wenzhou's Oujiang River. The location chosen by Haihan is located 20 miles east of the estuary. There are two islands, one large and one small, juxtaposed to the north and south.

, known as Damen Island and Xiaomen Island. There is a channel about one or two miles wide and more than ten miles long between the two islands. There are several natural harbors on the coast of Damen Island to the south, making it easy to hide. The coalition forces

His battle plan was to introduce the Yueqing Boat Gang here, and then send boats to block both ends, so that he could catch the turtle in the jar.

Song Qing led the Yueqing Boat Gang's fleet all the way south. It wasn't until they entered the narrow channel between Damen Island and Xiaomen Island that the Zheng brothers felt something was wrong - passing through here is the mouth of the Oujiang River. Is it possible to

To block the target at the mouth of Oujiang River?

The Zheng brothers were preparing to discuss the matter when they suddenly heard a cannon sound coming from the sea in the distance. After careful identification, it came from behind. When they looked at the stern of the ship, they were frightened. They saw ten gunshots suddenly pouring out of the sea to the east.

There were several sailboats, the smallest of which was more than twice the size of my own ship. Among them was a large sailboat that was shaped like a hill and was chasing my fleet from behind.

Although I don’t know the origin of this sudden fleet, it is obviously not a good person. Looking at this posture, my own fleet may not be able to compete. Moreover, the water here is narrow, and small boats will suffer a lot in close combat. The Zheng brothers

They can only order to rush west first. As long as they break out of this channel, they can choose to escape north or south. Although the enemy will have many ships by then, they may not be able to intercept their own ships at sea.

Nantie looked forward and saw that Song Qing's boat was rushing forward without caring about what happened behind. Nantie thought that Song Qing was really afraid of trouble, but he didn't know whether the fleet that suddenly appeared was following him.

He is concerned. A fleet of this size has never appeared in Wenzhou itself. Nantie can basically be sure that this group of people is definitely not a local force, and they are definitely not members of the navy.

When the Yueqing Boat Gang and others were in panic, some sail shadows appeared on the sea to the west. A fleet sailed from south to north, blocking the west exit of the channel. Anyone who was not blind could see it now.

Who are these two fleets from the east and one from the west coming for?
