Salmon Island, pier, morning. Qinbei Pavilion
"When will this damn fog lift? I can't even go to Zhouzhou!"
A jailer looked at the white fog and waved the whip in his hand angrily.
"Can't you go back? I can't go back either!"
Another jailer also complained that they could not take the boat back to Dengzhou because of the heavy fog, so they could only watch.
"It took a lot of effort for me to get some rest, and it's such a bad weather!"
The jailer continued to complain.
"If you are angry, find a few death row prisoners and beat them up!"
Another jailer said.
"I just beat one to death yesterday. It's annoying to see them. If it weren't for these guys, why would we have to suffer here!"
The jailers were even more resentful. Salmon Island was said to be a place where prisoners were sent out, but it was isolated overseas. They, the jailers, were all sent out together, so they never gave the prisoners a good look. They usually beat them whenever they wanted. It was common to scold and beat people to death, venting all dissatisfaction and resentment on the prisoners.
"Forget it, the fog won't clear today, let's go drink and gamble!"
Seeing that the fog showed no sign of dispersing and was even getting thicker, the jailers had no choice but to return to the upper prison city to drink and gamble.
"These guys are really, apart from abusing prisoners, drinking and gambling. They are simply scum!"
In a pile of strange rocks on Salmon Island, Shi Qian sneered. In his opinion, the jailers on Salmen Island deserved to die.
"With such a heavy fog, I wonder when our navy brothers will arrive."
Ma Ling looked at the heavy fog and frowned. According to the planned time, the army should have arrived three days ago.
"Who knows, I might not see this heavy fog once in a few years."
Shi Qian opened his mouth and said that after gathering information in Dengzhou, they secretly sneaked to Salmon Island in a rowing boat. When the navy arrived, a sudden heavy fog disrupted everything.
"Fortunately, I brought enough dry food. Let's just wait on the mountain for the next few days."
Ma Ling looked at the white sea and said helplessly. Now they can only wait. Fortunately, the guards on Salmon Island are used to being comfortable and have loose discipline. They rarely patrol the island in a month. They are not afraid of being discovered hiding behind the island. .
At noon, the sun has reached the top of the head, but under the heavy fog, only a hazy shadow of the lake can be seen.
In the mist, the Liangshan fleet slowly approached.
"According to the chart, Salmon Island is nearby, but the fog is too heavy and I can't find the specific location."
Fei Bao kept looking around with the chart in his hand.
"Wait a minute, it's noon now, the fog will disperse a little."
Xu Guanzhong frowned and said that the heavy fog had delayed them for a few days. Now they couldn't see the distance at all on the sea. He was a little worried that they had made the wrong direction and hit Dengzhou Prefecture.
"Master Ma, that's the fleet over there!"
Shi Qian, who was bored, suddenly saw more than one boat on Mo Lake in the distance.
"Probably, the only ones who can come to Salmon Island at this time are our navy from Liangshan."
Ma Ling said with certainty. During these days in Dengzhou Mansion, he also understood the habits of the Dengzhou Navy. These guys neglected training and had lax military discipline. It was rare to go to sea in good weather. It was impossible to go out in this kind of foggy weather. There was only such a naval force in the entire northern court.
Shi Qian immediately took out the fire sickle, lit the prepared dry firewood, and covered it with a layer of green leaves.
The fleet saw the smoke and fire and immediately sailed over.
"Land in and deal with the enemy!"
Ruan Xiaoer ordered to stop when they were still some distance away from Salmon Island and let everyone go ashore in small boats. Salmen Island did not have a big port and the giant sea loach ship could not get close.
Zhang Shun, Wang Dingliu, Bu Qing, Ni Yun, and Di Chengmen arrived in small boats with a thousand soldiers.
"Brothers, here!"
Shi Qian and Ma Ling had already arrived at the seaside pier to meet them, and they had already eliminated several soldiers on the pier.
"Brother Shi Qian, Taoist Master Ma, what's going on on this island!"
When Zhang Shun saw his people, he immediately asked.
"There is a prison city on the island. There is a prison guard, two guards, fifty or sixty jailers, and more than a hundred servants on the island. As for the situation in the prison, we have no way of knowing."
Ma Ling said that he and Shi Qian were the only two people who went to the island before, so they did not take the risk of sneaking into the prison.
"We'll kill just these people right now!"
Di Cheng was overjoyed when he heard this. This was not an enemy at all. A thousand of them could rush over and deal with it.
"Walk!"
Everyone called the soldiers and rushed towards the prison city.
Salman Island is scorched, surrounded by huge rocks, and is not suitable for habitation. Only the middle is flat, with some trees, and some fields can be opened. The prison city and local servants live here.
Salmon Island was defenseless. Guan Ying never thought that anyone would attack the island, and there was not even a single sentry.
After a battle without any suspense, Salmon Island was completely controlled.
"Who are you? How dare you attack Salmon Island? You know this is a capital crime!"
Guan Ying, who was tied up, yelled that he was drinking and gambling when these thieves who came from nowhere suddenly rushed in, killed several people, and tied them all up.
"Death penalty, do you deserve to talk about this?"
Ma Ling looked at the camp manager coldly. In the past few days, he had seen these people throwing corpses into the sea every day. He knew without guessing that they were all prisoners who were tortured and killed by them.
"We are pirates, this island belongs to us from now on!"
Xu Guanzhong looked at Guanying and smiled.
"Pirates! Are you Koreans? Japanese?"
Guan Ying's expression changed greatly. The only pirates in the north were Koreans and Japanese. These people always robbed ships at sea, and when they were bold, they would go ashore to rob. However, they never attacked the government and only made small troubles.
"Whatever you think, let me ask you now, where is the list of prisoners on this island now?"
Xu Guanzhong looked at Guan Ying and asked.
"Roster? Where's the roster? No."
Guan Ying shook his head.
"You are here in Dengzhou Overseas Prison. So many prisoners are sent here every year, but you don't have any on your list?"
Xu Guanzhong looked at Guan Ying and asked with a frown.
"The people sent here are all guilty of the most heinous crimes. Don't even think about getting out of those sent here. There are prisoners who have never left Salmon Island, so naturally they don't need a roster."
The camp manager gave a very direct answer. Prisoners on Salmon Island were not pardoned, and they would die if they came here.
Xu Guanzhong waved his hand, and the soldiers had already escorted the management camp away.
"Military advisor, this island is too deserted for us to garrison!"
After Ruan Xiaowu made a tour, he reported that Salmon Island is not large, has little vegetation, and has no obstructions. If you stand on Dengzhou City on a sunny day, you can have a panoramic view of Salmon Island.
"We are pirates now. How come pirates are stationed on the island? Ships are what we rely on."
Xu Guanzhong said with a smile that he was not prepared to guard an island.
"Military advisor, what should we do next?"
Fei Bao looked at Xu Guanzhong and said, "Salmon Island has been taken, and the next step is to attack Dengzhou."
"Of course I'll go to the Swordfish Village in Dengzhou and try out the Dengzhou Navy."
Xu Guanzhong pointed in the direction of Dengzhou and said that as long as the Dengzhou navy is eliminated, the Shandong coast will be their world.
