Erzhu turned back and looked at the sea and said: "The cannons are powerful and the ship is big, but the slaves and thieves are all on the shore and not in the sea. If you want to fight the slaves and thieves, you have to go ashore."
"Are you afraid that we can't defeat the slave thieves?" Huzi looked at him and said.
Erzhu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly.
"Then you think you can fight back home if you follow the Ming army?" Huzi was not angry when he saw Erzhu's attitude, but asked him instead.
Erzhu hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes. Half a year ago, the imperial court defeated an army of slave thieves in Ningyuan. Even the old slave died because he was injured under Ningyuan City."
"Then what?" Huzi asked, hugging his shoulders.
Erzhu was stunned and said blankly: "What then?"
"What happens after the victory of Ningyuan? How much lost territory did the Ming army recover? Did Guangning City get back? Did Shenyang Zhongwei get back?" Huzi asked.
Regarding the great victory of Ningyuan, the Tiger-Character Banner has already organized it into a military report and distributed it to all places. The garrison of the Tiger-Character Banner on Da Yuan Island also received information about the great victory of Ning Yuan, so Hu Zi also heard about it on Da Yuan Island. I have learned about Ningyuan’s great victory.
Erzhu shook his head and said: "Although the imperial court did not regain Shenyang Zhongwei, the Ming army defeated the army of slave thieves and it was only a matter of time before the lost territory was recovered."
"It seems that you are really optimistic about the imperial court." Huzi said.
Erzhu said: "There's nothing you can do if you don't like the imperial court. Although the tiger flag is powerful, it is still powerful at sea. Once it's ashore, it's not bigger than anyone else's ship."
"You're right. It's not about which side has more boats than the ones on the shore." Huzi nodded slightly and then asked, "What do you think of me, brother?"
Erzhu glanced at him carefully and said, "Brother Huzi, you are doing well."
"I'm not asking you what I am like as a person, I'm asking you what do you think of the soldiers of the Tiger Flag?" Huzi asked.
Hearing this, Erzhu glanced carefully at the Tiger Flag soldiers around him, and said with admiration: "Awesome, extremely awesome, even Du Shuai's personal soldiers are no match for you."
"There are tens of thousands of soldiers like us on Damuan Island, and no less than 200,000 on the grasslands of Shanxi and Tumote. And just a few months ago, 50,000 were sent from Shanhaiguan to Shanxi. Guan Ning's army was defeated and collapsed by the Tiger Character Banner army in Xuan Mansion." Hu Zi said.
Erzhu was stunned when he heard this.
Before, he only thought that Huzi came from the sea, and at most there were only a few people in front of him. No matter what, he couldn't believe that the tiger-character flag said that there were hundreds of thousands of troops.
Of course, it’s not his fault. After all, the news here on Pidao is a little closed, and the generals above may know a lot about many things. Ordinary soldiers like him have no channels to get news from the outside world, let alone know the senior officials. The island is as far away as Shanxi.
"How's it going? Do you still think we can't defeat the slave thieves?" Huzi said proudly.
Although what he said was a bit exaggerated, there is no doubt about the power of the Tiger Flag.
Ever since he went to Taiyuan Island and became a member of the Tiger Flag, whether it was what he read in the internal military newspaper or the several battles they fought in the field on Taiyuan Island, the final winner every time was Tiger Flag. flag.
Victory gave him the capital to be proud of being a member of the Tiger Flag, so even if the Tiger Flag faced the slave thieves in the future, he believed that the slave thieves were no match for them.
Erzhu hesitated and said: "Does your Tiger Flag really have so many troops? Brother Huzi, you won't lie to me, will you?"
"You still don't believe what I say, Brother Huzi. Besides, what are the benefits of lying to you? What do you have that is worth cheating to me?" Huzi spread his hands and said.
Erzhu thought, that was indeed the case.
He has become a prisoner, and there is no need to do anything to him. There is no need to lie to them, the captured officers and soldiers, about such a thing.
"If you join the Tiger Flag, follow me and I will be your corps leader. From now on, I will take care of you for Dazhu." Huzi said, holding Erzhu's shoulders.
Erzhu looked hesitant.
Joining the Tiger-Character Banner was equivalent to turning from an officer and soldier into a rebel, which made him feel a little unhappy.
"Okay, don't think about it. Join us. From now on, you will have at least three meals a day, and every meal will be dry. In the future, we will take you back to your hometown to avenge your dead relatives. You can't even think about counting on the court in this life. Revenge." Huzi strangled Erzhu's shoulders hard.
"I'm joining. Isn't it okay if I join? Brother Hu Zi, please be gentle." Er Zhu agreed to Hu Zi.
Huzi smiled and said: "That's right, Dazhu and Sanzhu are gone. I will be your brother from now on. Okay, go back. Someone will register for recruitment in a while. Remember to sign up."
After saying that, he patted Er Zhu on the shoulder, turned and left.
"I've written it down." Erzhu said as he looked at Huzi's leaving figure.
When he returned to the prisoners, many prisoners with good relationships gathered around him.
"Er Zhu, what have you been saying for so long? Have you said what you will do to us?"
"Yes, tell me quickly, will they let everyone go?"
"Er Zhu, we are all brothers who have eaten from the same horse spoon. It is impossible for you to ignore your brothers at this time."
The prisoners talked to each other, saying anything, and they all wanted to get some news from Er Zhu.
"Squat down first, squat down first." Erzhu pressed down on the people around him and squatted down on his own initiative. He waited until the prisoners around him came over before continuing, "Don't worry, they won't kill us. "
"Then did he say what to do with us?" A prisoner on the side asked eagerly.
Erzhu said: "Brother Huzi didn't say anything specific. He just said that I should wait here. Someone will specially arrange for us people to let me follow their orders."
He did not tell all of what Huzi told him, but only revealed a little bit to the people in front of him.
After hearing his words, many prisoners around him looked disappointed.
But it didn't mean that they didn't get any news. At least they knew that the prisoners would not be executed by the Tiger Flag people and had a chance to survive.
Mao Wenlong's Governor's Mansion.
Zheng Tie was sitting in the main seat in the lobby of the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, and to his left was Li Zhao, the military judge who came with the ship.
The two people were waiting in the lobby for the news below.
Although Pi Dao has been captured, Mao Wenlong has not yet caught him.
"Reporting to the commander, my subordinates got the news that Mao Wenlong escaped from the back mountain to the sea in a small boat." Xing Chaoxi, the war barracks who captured Pi Island, brought back the news from outside.
Zheng Tie looked disappointed when he heard this.
Without catching Mao Wenlong, the leader of Dongjiang Town, the joy of capturing Xiapi Island immediately dropped by more than half.
"It seems that Mao Wenlong has had too many good times in the past few years. He didn't even have the courage to fight. He just abandoned his troops and ran away. It's a pity for such a general." Li Zhao sighed and shook his head.
