"Bang!" There was a gunshot, and the bullet casings with residual heat immediately fell to the deck.
"Good marksmanship!" Several people around him cheered in unison. On the Tongan ship not far away, the wind-fixing flag on the tip of the tail mast was shot down with a single shot.
The Thor was still too big and failed to stop the Tongan ship in front several times; if Zhao Xinxin had a patrol boat, everything would have been over long ago. At this time, he held up the telescope and suddenly said in surprise: "Huh? Why is there a Dutch flag hanging on the tip of the foremast?"
Ding Guofeng looked through the sight and saw the red, white and blue flag on the tip of the foremast, so he asked: "Zheng Yi, do you know what the red, white and blue flag is about? Qing Dynasty Do all civilian ships need to fly 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 people. I heard from my father that the ships of the red-haired ghosts used to be tall and big, and their artillery was powerful, so the ships along the coast of Fujian and Guangdong Merchant ships all fly the red-haired man’s flag to scare others.”
At this time, the sky was bright. Zhao Xin had observed through the telescope before and actually saw a familiar face on the Tongan boat. He then decided to capture the ship, seize the "old acquaintance", and find out why the Qing army attacked him like crazy.
"Bang!" Ding Guofeng fired another shot. The fixed-wind flag on the mainmast was still fluttering, but he missed.
On the Tong'an ship, Vice Admiral Shi, Li Dagang, Dao Zhang and others who were hiding under the stern mat were startled by the gunshots behind them. Vice General Shi was almost crying and shouted in despair: "Stop fighting! Is it over yet?!"
The sail of the stern mast, the canopy on the deck (used to hold the lowered sail, like a door; after the sail is lowered, it does not prevent people from walking on the deck), the toilet cupboard outside the left side of the ship, and the worship tent at the stern. It had been beaten to pieces by heavy machine guns, but the Mazu niche in the worship shed was miraculously undamaged and was moved to the front cabin by the sailors on the ship.
Li Dagang was so angry that he flew into a rage. He drew his knife several times and shouted loudly to stop the boat and fight. But they were all persuaded by Taoist Master Ma. Li Dagang knew that the more than 100 people on his ship were no match for Beihai Town. They could kill them all with just one quick shot. But he couldn't stand being "molested" by the other party, and Li Dagang never wanted to be a prisoner again.
Under Vice Admiral Shi's indiscriminate urging, the sailors on the Tong'an ship relied on their only foresail and mainsail, lowered the rudder stock at the stern into deep water, and quickly fled toward the southeast.
"Yeah! He's running pretty fast!" Zhao Xin said in surprise, and then shouted with a walkie-talkie: "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 loudspeaker of the Thor: "Qing troops on the wooden boat, listen! You can't escape! Stop the boat and surrender as soon as possible. We won't kill the prisoners!"
Li Dagang said in his heart that you will not kill the prisoners, but you will demand a ransom! Before, I asked someone to seek an official position, but all I had was only five hundred taels of silver. If I paid any more ransom, I would have to drink the northwest wind! Furthermore, he was not afraid of being shot, and he would probably die; but the electric baton in Beihai Town had left a heavy shadow on his heart.
Vice General Shi also learned from Li Dagang that Beihai Town prefers to pay a ransom to release people. He thought that if he was captured and asked the court to pay a ransom, he would not be able to chop off his own heads, so he did not want to surrender. Since the opponent doesn't need to shoot at him with rapid fire, he still has a few chances. What if those people get tired of chasing him?
In this cat-and-mouse chase, the two boats were getting closer and closer to Wailingding Island.
Shen Xuan woke up very early. Ever since she knew that she was not far away from Zhao Xin, she became more and more anxious and couldn't sleep well all night. When she got up, Chen Erya was hugging the quilt and talking in his sleep: "Crabs are so delicious~~"
As for seasickness, you will get used to it after vomiting, and you will gradually get used to seasickness. So after Chen Erya recovered, he started to eat a lot, wishing he could eat back all the food he had wasted these days. When staying at Nan'ao Island, Shen Jingdan bought some fresh seafood, and Chen Erya, who had never eaten crabs before, killed five of them. If Chen Jishan hadn't stopped her, this girl could have eaten ten.
There were not many people on the deck of the lucky ship at this time. Except for the sailors who climbed up the mainmast to repair the pulley, a few other sailors were smoking cigarettes and talking in low voices on the bow of the ship. Shen Jingdan spent a lot of money, so the sailors were very polite to Shen Jingdan and his party. When they saw Shen Xuan walking on the deck, they all smiled and nodded in greeting.
A few foraging seagulls flew over the bow of the boat and chirped. Waves surged up on the sea surface at dawn, impacting the hull and rocks and making bursts of sound.
Shen Xuan walked to the side of the ship, thinking about what Shen Jingdan told her.
"Ah Quan, after meeting Zhao Xin this time, you must persuade him not to run around anymore. At present, there are tens of thousands of people in Beihai Town, but they are all relying on him to maintain it. If something happens to him, don't Talking about the life and death of those refugees, our family also hangs in the balance."
Shen Xuan was quite satisfied with these words. When she was sent to Shen Jingdan's home by her father at the age of nine, she was already sensible. Although Shen Jingdan and his wife treated her well, Shen Xuan knew that she was a lonely person without a home. Although she is usually taciturn, she has great ideas in her heart.
For Zhao Xin, she is actually more grateful than admiring him. But for women in this era, it is difficult to distinguish between these two emotions. Shen Xuan had lived in seclusion for many years and read many miscellaneous books. What she thought in her mind was that a talented man should match a beautiful woman, and her future husband must be a good man. But who knew that she would meet such a weirdo as Zhao Xin.
However, Zhao Xin was very kind to her and did not dislike Shen Xuan's talents; but the two of them could not see each other from time to time, and they were separated for several days or even more than ten days. Shen Xuan also knows that men have to make contributions and Zhao Xin has to work hard for the livelihood of tens of thousands of people under his command. But the problem is that she needs someone to rely on so that she doesn't feel lonely.
Oginoto once advised her: "Zhao Xin is already very good. Look at the girls brought back from Jiangnan, which one is not stunning? Especially Tang Xiao and Ertang, if anything happens, just go to him. , but I heard that he has always been polite, what is his name, yes, keep a distance. Men, they just have to be busy. Look at your adoptive father, he used to leave for half a year, why didn’t I wait so hard? Don’t think too much."
In this inexplicable emotion, coupled with Shen Jingdan's encouragement, she and Zhao Xin got engaged. But what happened to the jade pendant before made Shen Xuan's heart rise again. What if something happens to Zhao Xin?
While thinking wildly, Shen Xuan suddenly heard someone beside her say: "Hey? A boat is coming."
As soon as he said this, the sailor at the top of the mast suddenly shouted: "Mom! What is that?!"
Shen Xuan curiously walked to the other side of the ship and looked north along the direction of a sailor. She saw a tall wooden boat emerging from the north side of the island, but then, the bow of a huge white and blue boat also appeared. Then it emerged, and on the outside of the bow, the word "Thor" was particularly eye-catching.
"Dad! Brother Lu! Come quickly!" Shen Xuan shouted excitedly below the deck, and the person she had been thinking about appeared just like that. At this time, several sailors on the deck heard Shen Xuan suddenly change her tone of voice to that of a young woman, and thought to themselves, "Hey!" This young man is actually dressed as a woman!
On the Tong'an boat, Vice General Shi and Li Dagang also saw the lucky ship in the distance. Vice General Shi rolled his eyes and asked Li Dagang: "Li Shoubei, from what you have seen in the past, how do those monsters treat the people?"
Li Dagang thought for a while and understood what Vice General Shi was going to do, so he said: "Qiu has no fault."
"Great!" Vice General Shi punched the palm of his hand and ordered the sailors on the ship: "Quick! Come closer! Quick, quick, quick!"
Liu Sheng in the cockpit also saw the lucky boat parked in the distance. When he saw the Tong'an boat heading towards the lucky boat, he thought it was going to be bad, so he shouted through the loudspeaker: "That boat in the distance! Get out of the way!"
At this time, the ship was in chaos. The sailors were not afraid of the approaching Tongan ship at all, but were frightened by the approaching white ship. As the bell rang rapidly, the sailors on the deck were raising the anchor, letting go of the driver (windlass) and lowering the sail.
Hu Chuantou shouted urgently: "Hurry up!"
"Slow down!" Shen Jingdan came over, patted Hu Chuantou on the shoulder and said, "Old Hu, believe me again, we won't move!"
"What?" Hu Chuantou was stunned and pointed at the approaching white ship and said to Shen Jingdan: "Mr. Shen, the monster is here! What are we waiting for if we don't run?!"
Shen Jingdan said with a smile on his face: "That's not a monster, that's one of our people!"
"That ship in front! Don't raise the sail! We are from the Xiangshan Associated Navy Battalion, we need to board the ship for inspection!" A Qing soldier shouted with a loud voice. On the deck, Vice Admiral Shi ordered more than a hundred people under his command: "Get on the lucky ship in a moment and capture everyone for me! No killing!"
The calligrapher from the Governor's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi said: "Master Shi, what are you doing?"
Vice Admiral Shi said with a ferocious smile: "I want the traitors to use rat weapons and let the people on the lucky boat block the cannons for us! With these hostages, we can at most give some money in exchange for freedom. After we return to the camp, we will give everyone Thirty taels of silver reward!" After explaining, he said to his subordinates: "Do you understand everything?!"
Qing Army No. 100 said quickly: "I will obey the military order!"
The clerk looked pale and said, "Is this possible?"
Vice General Shi gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Sun, this is all we can do for now. Give it a try!"
When Tong'an's boat approached Fu's boat, Shui Yong of the Qing army on the boat immediately lowered the sails and threw a few flying hooks, which hooked the side of Fu's boat. But who knew that the lucky boat on the other side would actually throw some ropes, which surprised Shui Yong of the Qing army, but they didn't think about it anymore and hurriedly tied the ropes tightly.
On the Tong'an boat, several sailors turned the crew, and the heavy Chumu anchorage immediately slipped from the bow of the boat into the water. Two Qing soldiers came to the Narcissus Gate and removed the closing wooden boards piece by piece. (Narcissus Gate, an exit on the deck of an ancient sailing ship used to transport goods and servants.)
The narcissus door on the lucky boat had already been opened, and a thick cedar board stretched out from the lucky boat. The Qing army seemed extremely satisfied with Fuchuan's cooperation. When they pulled out the last plank, the springboard jumped forward and stood firmly between the two ships.
Several sword-wielding Qing soldiers were about to step onto the gangplank when a few figures suddenly appeared from behind the side of the Fuchuan opposite, holding a "short gun" in each hand. Faced with the sudden change, the Qing troops on board Tongan were stunned. My thoughts turned so fast that I thought I had encountered pirates who were robbing my house. Vice General Shi was one of them. He pointed at 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. He tried to escape from the labor camp in Beihai Town several times, and every time he was captured, this person was responsible for interrogation and torture.
"Ru, Lu..."
Before Li Dagang could say anything, he heard someone on the opposite boat shout: "Fire!"
"Boom! Boom!..." More than a dozen .36-caliber conical lead bullets were fired at the Qing troops on the opposite deck. Amidst the smoke, the Qing troops on the Tong'an ship were caught off guard, and seven or eight people were shot to death. , the Qing army, which was originally full of hope, suddenly fell into hell!
The Type 84 revolver needs to manually move the hammer every time it fires. However, several well-trained intelligence team members from Beihai Town are like the Western Rangers of later generations. They put their guns against their sides and quickly move the hammer with their left hand. He stopped and pulled the trigger, and the six bullets in the magazine were all gone in the blink of an eye, like splashing water.
The Qing troops on Tong'an's ship were about to untie the binding ropes when they heard a shout from the other side: "Kill them! Don't let them escape!"
A dozen men armed with daggers and wooden clubs shouted and stood up. They quickly rushed up the gangplank and climbed onto the deck of the Tongan ship in a few steps. They beat the Qing troops who were dodging fire around them, and a scream suddenly sounded from the deck. .
On the Thor, Zhao Xin and others stared dumbfounded at the scene not far away. When he heard the gunfire of the Type 84 revolver, he hurriedly raised his binoculars to check. Finally, he saw Lu Shoushan who was commanding the charge on the Fu Ship.
Zhao Xin didn't bother to use the walkie-talkie to notify Liu Sheng. He put his hands together and shouted at Fu Chuan: "Lu Shoushan, catch them alive!"
Li Dagang's heart felt so cold at this moment! In order not to be taken prisoner, he raised his knife and joined the melee.
It is said that Master Li is a martial artist, and his martial arts skills have been acquired through hard training since childhood. As soon as there was a fight, Lu Shoushan's two masters were immediately hit by swords. Li Dagang thought that even if he died today, he would drag the guy named Lu to his back!
At this moment, a figure holding a long stick jumped up from the springboard. On one side of the man's body in the air, a stick as tall as one person stabbed Li Dagang's shoulder.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Dagang dwarfed his body, rolled forward, and hid behind the side of the ship. As soon as the person on the opposite side landed his feet, the stick curved and drew toward the neck of a Qian President.
The person who came was none other than Chen Jishan. He had learned from the "magic boxing" Guo Yongfu since he was a child and had practiced good kung fu, especially the "Hongdong Tongbei Fist". In later generations, some people verified that Guo Yongfu, the "magic boxer" during the Qianlong period, was Chen Youfu, the successor of Chen Style Tai Chi. Because this person accidentally killed someone when he was young, he changed his mother's surname and fled to Shanxi. The "Tai Chi Changquan" that was once lost in Chenjiagou is the "Hongdong Tongbei Quan".
Guo Yongfu probably never imagined that he would be given the title of "Divine Fist" by Qianlong, but his disciple would go to work under the "rebellion".
President Qian on the opposite side saw the shadow of the stick coming towards him and shouted, "Well done!" He then raised his knife to block. Unexpectedly, the stick looked slow, but in fact it was extremely fast. It grazed President Qian's blade and "snap" With a bang, Mr. Qian’s neck was immediately broken! When Li Dagang saw it, he was heartbroken! I met a master. Just as he was about to get up, a short knife struck him in the head. Li Dagang blocked it with his knife, then kicked the opponent's ankle hard with his right foot. With a "click", the man holding the knife fell to the ground with a groan.
After Chen Jishan took care of Mr. Qian, he kept thrusting out the fir stick in his hand. Three or five Qing soldiers were hit in the abdomen. They were sweating all over in pain and couldn't even scream. Li Dagang arrived at the springboard while no one was paying attention. He jumped onto the springboard with a single stride. When he was about to rush to the opposite side, Chen Jishan's stick that followed him came after him again. This time, Li Dagang had no time to turn around and was stabbed by the stick. Back, he groaned and fell forward. He held on and tried to get up again, but suddenly his body sank, and several people jumped on him one after another, making him unable to move.
Vice Admiral Shi, who was standing under the stern tent with a knife, was in a state of distraught, while Zanhua Calligrapher, who was hiding behind him, was frightened out of his mind.
Several Qing soldiers on the Tong'an boat stood behind the crowd. They raised the three-eyed blunderbuss in their hands and were about to twist the medicine with the match rope. Lu Shoushan, who was on the opposite boat with sharp eyes, hurriedly and a few of his men attacked those few soldiers. The Qing army fired. But those Qing soldiers were hiding in the crowd and crouched down when they heard the gunfire, but they were not hit. But the dozen or so Qing troops outside them were in dire straits. They were shot at randomly and screamed in agony. The few lucky Qing soldiers were so frightened that they quickly dropped their three-eyed guns and knelt on the deck, not daring to move.
Suddenly, "bang bang bang" gunshots sounded like exploding beans, and the fir trees on the main mast were beaten and sawdust flew everywhere. This made all the Qing troops frightened, and the Thor came up!
Lu Shoushan and others held guns with both hands and shouted at the Qing troops on Tong'an's boat: "Surrender! Surrender! Don't kill!"
At this time, the loudspeaker on the ship shouted: "Put down your weapons and surrender! Otherwise, we will all be killed!"
Zhao Xin stood on the bow of the Thor, laughing condescendingly, and said: "Master Li, we meet again!"
