Two quarters of an hour later.
With the continuous pursuit of the Ming army's fine cavalry, the Japanese pirates who attacked Zhujiawan were completely defeated, and Kang Lin and his party also returned to Zhujiawan again under the surveillance of the surrounding cavalry! They originally wanted to go back to the previous courtyard to repair it, but they were soon told that the courtyard that originally belonged to the garrison had been occupied by the cavalry commander, the guerrilla general Meng Zhigu of the Dengzhou Battalion. Occupy the magpie's nest and transform it into his temporary headquarters!
Therefore, they need to find a new place to settle down, otherwise the generals and guards at the gate of the courtyard wearing six-petal iron-pointed helmets, wearing light-stepping iron armor, holding Yan Ling knives in their hands will teach them how to behave in minutes! Don't think that since they are both imperial officers, Mr. Luo Bang will look down upon him and Mr. Hao. Maybe in their eyes, he is just a lowly businessman who can be exploited and oppressed, and Mr. Hao is just a defeated soldier. If the general dares to make noises and ask for temporary control of the General Administration, the Dengzhou Army may become jealous and kill him as a fake Japanese surrender. Then he can still hold his head and ask for it from the court. Reward! After all, the size of your head is the most obvious evidence of your crime. In the great dynasty, all people have long hair. You, a young and strong man with weird short hair on your head, are you not a Japanese pirate? Furthermore, the reason why I came to this useless place was to trade ships with the Ming army. But if others knew about it and got angry, even a head would not be enough to chop him off! Therefore, the head of Kangda, who had figured this out, immediately gave in decisively. He pulled Mr. Hao, who didn't want to cause trouble, and lifted up a broken arm. Find a place to settle down again!
Yes, you read that right. Meng Dagang, who cut off the back for Kang Lin and others, miraculously did not die in the battle. His arm was cut off at the root. He is now lying on a stretcher and being carried around. It turns out that... The Ming army cavalry suddenly appeared and rescued him. Before the Japanese pirate who cut off his arm could rejoice, he was hit by a rushing Mongolian horse and got a free flight! Then, the Ming army cavalry that poured in from the brigade completely took control of the situation. The Japanese pirates, who were arrogant, singing and dancing one moment, were driven around by the cavalry the next moment. Naturally, they had no chance to stop lying on the ground and fell into a coma. Meng Dagang is gone! In this way, Zhujiawan garrison commander was extremely lucky to save a small life. He was discovered by the Xia people who later moved the body and handed it over to the Ming army. Later, the man was passed over to Hui Xiu by the cavalry men. Kang Lin, Hao Datong and others rushed back. Since then, all the original members of the Zhujiawan Defense Battle have arrived. They looked at the slightly embarrassed opponent and couldn't help but sigh. However, there was nothing they could do against the powerful Dengzhou Army. People are not strong. If you don't want to be pushed to the ground and rubbed hard, you can only bow your head and give in!
"Old Li, please bring someone into the house to clean it first. In addition, send a brother to ride my horse to the East China Sea Acropolis and invite a doctor to come back to treat the injuries of Meng Baichang and all the brothers! Mr. Kang, come here Come on, let’s go to the side and rest for a while. This day has been full of fighting and running for our lives. I’m so damn exhausted..." With his remaining defeated soldiers looking for a place to stay, Hao Datong finally found his way to the southwest of the village. He found a place that could accommodate all his men - General Mao Temple in Zhujiawan. Although this small temple built by the villagers to commemorate General Mao Shanqi of the Xia Dynasty looked a bit shabby, it could still easily accommodate dozens of people. No. 1, it is perfect for housing the wounded. Of course, this place cannot be compared with the original general compound, but it is far enough away from the Dengzhou Army garrison, so there is no need to worry about those domineering cavalry men. Come and cause trouble for yourself and others!
"No need, Brother Hao, Kang stayed here to help you fight against the Japanese pirates. Now that the enemy has retreated, there is no reason for me to stay here and bother you! In this way, our deal will continue to be valid, and Kang will take the lead first." The two 200-ton bird boats returned to the East China Sea. The other boats will be delivered by Brother Hao, and the shopkeeper under his command will settle the remaining balance! After all, Kang has been out for a long time, and there is still business to be handled in the Acropolis, so he left. ..." Hao Datong kindly tried to persuade Kang Lin to stay, but he couldn't get over Kang Lin's insistence on leaving. After trying to persuade him to no avail, he could only order his soldiers to bring up seven or eight saltpetre-made heads for Kang Lin and his party to take away. Those were three real people. Wo, six Xia people brought him to Donghai City from his head. I believe they can help the leader of Chiyang solve many problems that are difficult to solve with money!
"Brother Hao, what does this mean?" Looking at the ferocious-looking Japanese soldier's head and the smell of blood from this thing, Kang Lin didn't know what Hao Datong meant. Although the two met for the first time, they finally negotiated a big deal and had a good impression of each other. Later, they fought side by side and repelled the invading Japanese pirates, and even established a good personal relationship! So now Hao Datong ordered his soldiers to bring the head. The five good young people born in the new era of the 21st century said that he really couldn't understand it. Could it be that he didn't listen to his advice and stayed in Zhujiawan for a few more days, which made him feel sad. Are you unhappy, deliberately using these blood-stained things to scare yourself? When he thought that he might have offended the ship supplier, Kang Lin could only smile again and asked Hao Datong what he meant by giving him a human head.
"Brother Kang, don't be afraid. This is military merit, not a bloody head! We Ming people will not tell secrets. According to the regulations of Chaoyan, if you kill a real Japanese head, you will be promoted to one level, and the fake Japanese will be the second. If you don't want to As an official, you can exchange for thirty taels of silver. Previously, my brother led his servants to help Hao defend and obtained a total of nine real Japanese heads and twenty subordinate Japanese heads. However, this time Hao was unfavorable in the battle and needed a large amount of money. The first-level heads were acquitted, so he shamelessly distributed a few more, hoping that my brother would forgive me! As for the remaining heads, although Hao was not talented, he would not let his brothers work in vain, so he would leave them all to his brother. After all, , these heads can help you accomplish many things that cannot be accomplished with money, and make friends with many people that cannot be made with money. In short, listen to my brother’s advice, and you can accept these heads with confidence and boldness!"
As if he could see what Kang Lin was thinking, Hao Datong, the eldest son of the grain merchant, forced himself to smile with a smile that was uglier than crying. This time, most of the three men under his command were killed and wounded, and one of the three hundred commanders was seriously injured and the other was slightly injured. The injury can be regarded as a severe injury, and he was completely disabled, but even so, the Zhujiawan defenders did not achieve many results. On the contrary, if the Dengzhou Army's Cavalry Division had not arrived in time, maybe the Xia people would have been injured at this time. Among the corpses and wounded that the people were carrying out from the courtyard, there would be a seventh-grade Ming army commander and two hundred commanders who commanded dozens of troops! Therefore, the heads of Japanese pirates that he had previously chopped off and hidden would now appear particularly precious to him. After all, with these heads, even if he could not defeat them, he would have a high chance of keeping them. Head on the item!
At the same time, he was an extremely smart person, and he did not want his image to look too ugly, so he offended Kang Lin, a very powerful and skillful partner, so he took it upon himself to divide the head among the nine heads. We hope to maintain a good relationship with Chiyang Fleet in the future and even have further cooperation.
"Head equals military merit?" Looking at the sincere face of General Manager Hao, Kang Lin's muddled mind finally became clearer. He had also heard from his confidants that it was popular among the Ming army to accumulate merit with their heads. It was a good intention to give this thing to myself, so I stopped refusing immediately. After thanking him, I smiled and accepted these nine hideous-looking and unpleasant-smelling gifts.
The next morning, the ancient trestle in Zhujiawan.
"After a long journey, we must say goodbye. There are still many things to deal with in Zhujiawan. Brother, let's stop here..." Leading the crowd to board two 200 feeder boats that were not so damaged in appearance, Kang Lin held his hands as a gift. Say goodbye to Hao Datong! He didn't want to stay in this dangerous place for a moment longer. After all, after this battle, only three or four of his followers survived. If there was another enemy force, even a weak mob, The thieves could easily kill him!
Therefore, the boss, who felt that his life was in danger, now missed his temporary home, the island for selling goods, and the group of alien subordinates on the island that he had spent a lot of money to recruit. Although it was not as prosperous as the East China Sea Acropolis, there were no Officials and common people with neat clothes and neat faces, but that is my home, the only home in this alien world where I don’t have to be careful and pretend to be my grandson when meeting everyone! ! There, when I was hungry, Mrs. Liu would cook and make porridge, when I was sleepy, Xiao'e would make the bed and make quilts, and when I was bored, Ma Jiu would tell stories and commentaries. I lived like a local emperor, unlike here, where there are intrigues and dangers everywhere. If you're not careful, you may crash and die on the spot!
"That's good. Although the Japanese slaves have been defeated here, it is still full of dangers. I have a rich body, so it is reasonable for me to leave early! Don't worry, Hao has accepted the deposit for the remaining ships and will deliver them properly before I go to sea. To..." As if he had guessed what Kang Lin was thinking, Hao Datong nodded silently, indicating that he would definitely send the remaining ships to Shuizhai Pier before it went to sea.
"Okay, thank you very much, brother. On the day we meet again, Kang will conspire with brother to get drunk again at Donghai Hongbin Tower..." After receiving the promise from Mr. Hao Dabao, Kang Lin smiled brilliantly and immediately ordered his subordinates to kiss him. Together with the seconded battalion soldiers, they raised the sail of the bird boat, lowered the big oar, and began to sail away from the sad place of Zhujiawan!
"System, turn off the mute function!" Looking at Zhujiawan Huanggang Wharf gradually disappearing from sight, Kang Lin slowly spit out a command from his mouth. The next moment, the prompt function that he had deliberately turned off was instantly turned on!
