"Back then, the three of you brothers had to follow us on board the ship, and their lives would have been better than what you are living today." Huzi said with emotion.
He had no choice but to board the Tiger Flag ship.
Because his mother's health is not good, she can't even eat enough on the island and has to do heavy work every day. He is fine, but his mother's body will definitely not be able to survive. Only by leaving the island can he have a way to survive.
In fact, it was the right choice for him to get on board.
Although a few people died while sailing on the sea, the vast majority of people successfully arrived at Taiyuan Island and lived peacefully on Taiyuan Island.
Moreover, the days on Da Yuan Island were days that they could not even imagine in Liaodong before.
As a soldier of the Tiger Flag, he was stationed on Da Yuan Island. His family had about ten acres of farmland on the island, which could harvest three crops of food a year. When he was in Liaodong, his family farmed the land, but he was just a tenant, renting the land from other people's homes. All year round, the little grain harvested from the fields was only enough to pay the rent, and the family never had enough to eat. When the weather was warm, they had to rely on wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.
Erzhu looked at the cotton armor on Huzi's body with envy, and said: "If I had known that Brother Huzi and Auntie would live such a good life after leaving Pidao with the boat with the tiger flag, I would have knelt down to beg my elder brother , I must go with you."

He even wondered if the three brothers had left Pi Island with the boat back then, would the eldest brother and the third brother have died, and now they would be able to sit in a huge ship with the tiger-character flag like Brother Huzi? People hit the island together.
"Stop talking about these unhappy things, have you thought about what to do next?" Huzi asked.
Erzhu hesitated for a moment and said: "I still don't know what the Tiger Flag will do with the soldiers on the island. Brother Huzi, can you please help me and beg for mercy? Don't kill me. This is my family's rule. Now that I have established my roots, I still want to continue the family lineage. As long as you don’t kill me, I’m willing to do anything.”
"Who said I'm going to kill you?" Huzi chuckled.
Erzhu was stunned when he heard this, and said with joy on his face: "Brother Huzi, are you saying that the people in the Tiger Flag will not kill us?"
"Yes, I won't kill you. Of course, the premise is that you don't do anything outrageous. Otherwise, even if I plead for you, I won't be able to save your life." Huzi reminded him.
Erzhu shook his head hurriedly and said: "I haven't done anything bad. Ever since my eldest brother died in Tieshan, I have been a soldier on the island. I usually guard the dock or patrol the island."
"Have you insulted the people on the island?" Huzi asked seriously.
Erzhu shook his head and said: "Brother Huzi, you know that the people on the island fled to the island after suffering the harm of slaves and thieves. Life is not easy on weekdays. How could I bully them?" .”
"Is there anyone who often harms the people on the island? The kind that forces people to die?" Huzi asked.
After hearing this, Erzhu hesitated for a moment and then said: "Brother Huzi, you have also lived on the island. You should have seen some things with your own eyes. I, a small soldier, can't control anything."
"Some people think they have some power and act recklessly. Now it's time to pay their debts, and no one can save them," Huzi said.
Living on the island, he knew it very well.
Even though most of the people on the island are people who have escaped from the disaster, there are always some people who take advantage of the little power in their hands to do whatever they want by riding on the heads of others.
Erzhu said: "Brother Huzi, you just said that the people in the Tiger Flag will not kill us, so what are you going to ask us to do? Do you want to let us go?"
"Where can I go without you?" Huzi asked.
Erzhu thought for a while, and finally said with a bitter look: "There is no boat here on Pi Island, so you can't go anywhere. Even if there is a boat, you can only go to nearby places, but there are slaves and thieves around. It's almost impossible to escape back to Ningyuan." Impossible, unless there is a big ship to directly take us people to Denglai."
"From now on, Pi Island will be the place where the Tiger Flag is located. It is impossible for the imperial court to send a ship to pick you up, and it is even less likely that the Tiger Flag will send a ship to take you to Denglai." Huzi said.
Erzhu smiled bitterly and said, "I think so too."
"Then have you ever thought about joining the Tiger Flag? Become a member of the Tiger Flag and be a soldier like me." Huzi told him a choice.
Erzhu frowned when he heard this and said, "If I want to join the Tiger Flag, will I become a rebel like you, Brother Huzi?"
"Bah! Bah! Bah! What kind of rebels are you talking about? We are called rebels. Now the court is corrupt and incompetent, and the people are forced to have no way to survive. People like us who have lived in Liaodong for several generations are finally forced to They had no choice but to escape to this island, and many of their relatives died tragically at the hands of foreigners. Don’t you want to take revenge?" Huzi said.
Erzhu shouted loudly: "Why don't I want revenge? My father, my mother, my uncle, my aunt, and several of my cousins are all dead. If it weren't for this damn slave and thief, my whole family would be dead." The only one who won’t die is myself.”
"Yes, my subordinates are going to assist General Mao." Mao Dusi agreed and ran away from Mao Wenlong.
At this time, the sound of cannons on the sea was much quieter, and several small boats coming from the sea were already approaching the pier of Pi Island.
People on the boat began to jump off the boat, waded through the water and rushed to the side of the dock, forming a fighting formation.
Soon, dozens of soldiers who got off the ship gathered on the shore, guarding an open space on the shore, waiting for subsequent ships to land smoothly.
"Kill with me!"
Mao Chenglu, who came from the heights of Pi Island, raised the spear in his hand, pointed forward, and took the lead on horseback to rush towards the Tiger Flag soldiers on the shore.
boom! boom! boom!
Dozens of soldiers guarding the shore fired their muskets one after another to prevent the officers and soldiers on the island from approaching.
Four or five officers and soldiers who had been shot fell from their horses to the ground.
However, Mao Chenglu and the soldiers and servants did not slow down or hesitate at all, and still maintained a charging posture towards the Tiger Flag soldiers occupying a corner of the coast.
"Fire the bayonet!"
The officer among the soldiers holding the Tiger Flag who stood on the coast shouted loudly, and at the same time he took out the bayonet from his waist and put it on the muzzle of the gun.
"Stand up the gun!"
Twenty soldiers holding fire guns in their hands squatted down, with the tail of the fire gun pressed against the ground, and the end with the bayonet tilted forward, pointing forward.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Mao Chenglu took the lead in drawing the bow and shooting arrows.
More than a dozen feather arrows were fired at the enemy's battle formation on the coast.
Several Tiger Flag soldiers were shot by arrows. One of the soldiers was hit in the face by an arrow and died on the spot.
The body was dragged away by the soldiers behind, and immediately there was a vacant position on top of the soldiers.
