After repeated cross-examination, Liu Pei was sure that there would be no more gains. He waved his hand and said: "Cut them all! Give them a good time!"

Most of the pirates had already resigned themselves to their fate and knelt there dejectedly before being killed directly. A few pirates cried and struggled and tried to plead with Liu Pei, but they were immediately severely beaten and then had their heads cut off.

At this time, the other two ships were burning fiercely and were slowly sinking to the bottom of the sea. As for the people on board, they were either burned to death or killed by the thick smoke. They would be wrapped up in the sunken ship and sink to the bottom of the sea together.

.

Liu Pei glanced at the two ships and made sure that there were no more living people on them. Then he pointed to the stone island in the distance and said, "Get a few people and clear out the people on them."

At this time, the morning fog had dispersed, and everyone could clearly see that seven or eight pirates who had jumped to escape had just climbed to the stone island, and were looking for a place to hide on it in fear. But it was just a bare island.

Stone Mountain has no place to hide at all.

A guard took the order, took a few gunmen, and rowed the boat over. Soon they shot the pirates on the island. Then they boarded the island, inflicted wounds on each body, and dragged the body with them.

Throwed into the sea.

At this time, the captain came over and asked: "Commander, what should I do with this ship?"

Liu Pei touched the mast regretfully and said firmly: "Tow it away!"

After saying that, he jumped back to his ship. Sea-going ships were a strategic material at this time. In the past, his wife would burn them. But Liu Pei had trained many people from the naval academy at this time, so now

Grab it if you can, and then go back and repair it before it can be used. In addition, he keeps investing money to buy boats.

Back on his ship, Liu Pei heard about the losses in this battle. The losses in the battle were very slight. Only five or six people were injured, and the injuries were not serious. Under the bandage of the ship's doctor, the wounded only needed to rest for a few days.

Restore combat effectiveness.

After returning to the ship, the captain said: "Commander, do we still want to act according to the original plan?"

Liu Pei thought carefully for a moment and then said: "No! Change the plan, let's go home and fix it."

The captain happily conveyed this order to the fleet. Liu Pei also heard the cheers of the sailors. After all, these sailors had been wandering at sea for more than three months. During this period, they only had a few short trips back to replenish supplies.

Moreover, we have experienced many battles. Everyone is exhausted. It is undoubtedly a pleasant thing to be able to go back and rest.

However, Liu Pei's purpose was not to go back to rest. Rather, he had other important things to do. After clearing the battlefield, the five ships quickly gathered together to form a fleet and sailed away. Only a few wisps of green smoke floating on the sea indicated that

This was once a battlefield.

As soon as the fleet returned to Jiaozhou Bay, Liu Jiang rushed to the dock after hearing the news. Liu Jiang was also exhausted from collecting intelligence. In order to facilitate the delivery of information, Liu Jiang had changed his working place to the dock. Once there was

Whatever news needs to be conveyed, it is convenient for him to send ships out to sea.

As soon as Liu Pei saw Liu Jiang, he asked: "Have you collected any news recently?"

Liu Jiang took out two lists from his arms and handed them to Liu Pei, saying: "I did get a lot of information. Head of the family, there are two lists here. One is for Zheng Zhilong and his allies. The other is for neutrality.

Maritime merchants, pirates.”

Liu Pei took the list and looked through it carefully. Sure enough, he found the name of a maritime merchant named Li on the piece of paper belonging to Zheng Zhilong's ally. After the name, his home address and specific strength were also marked. Liu Pei immediately recognized the accuracy of this information.

So he returned the two lists to Liu Jiang and said: "Send it out immediately and give it to all the fleets. The time for them to gather and exchange information is coming. You must tell them before they gather. Just tell Zheng Zhilong.

He and his allies must continue to maintain the original practice of killing people and burning ships! We will seize ships when we are absolutely sure. As for those neutral maritime merchants, we will not harass them. As long as we can be sure that they are neutral, we will

We won’t grab any goods, not even gold or silver! But we have to tell them that they are not allowed to reveal our information to Zheng Zhilong, do you understand?”

Liu Jiang nodded and said: "Understood, head of the family. I will immediately send someone out to sea to deliver the news."

Liu Pei then asked in a low voice: "Is there any news about the volcano project?"

Liu Jiang also whispered: "According to the news coming back, it is almost done. It is estimated that many ships will gather there around the end of this month. Maybe we can consider executing it at that time!"

Liu Pei frowned and thought about it for a long time and said: "In that case, let's pass on the news and ask everyone in the First Fleet to withdraw for repairs and prepare for the implementation of the volcano plan."

Liu Jiang said: "Understood! The first fleet retreated to rest and prepare to implement the volcano plan. The second fleet carried out the strike plan as usual."

Liu Pei nodded and said, "Yes, that's how it's conveyed."

Liu Jiang immediately returned to his room and wrote a letter, arranging for someone to send him off to sea.

A few days later, fleets of ships sailed into Jiaozhou Bay quietly, avoiding the eyes and ears of the sea. A large number of sailors disembarked happily and enjoyed their rare vacation. However, there were also many injured soldiers who were lifted off the ship by their companions.

Carry it down. There are even sailors holding the relics of their companions and walking down the gangplank with a sad look on their faces. This is war after all, and death is inevitable!

However, these deaths cannot dampen the enthusiasm of the sailors. Every time a fleet comes back, they will be reminded of happy cheers at the military camp and dock. Liu Pei will also prepare delicious food and plenty of spirits for them. By

Since they were the side with the upper hand, the soldiers celebrated with great joy.

Liu Pei also went deep into the soldiers, eating, drinking, celebrating with them, bringing comfort to the wounded, and sending blessings and pensions to the families of the dead soldiers. Generally speaking, the atmosphere at Liu Pei's side was cheerful and active.

How cheerful the atmosphere was at Liu Pei's side, how bad it was at Zheng Zhilong's side!

According to historical records, Zheng Zhilong was a very handsome man. There is even an unofficial legend that Zheng Zhilong once gave Li Dan a facial scan! That’s why Li Dan chose him as his successor. But at this time, Zheng Zhilong’s handsome face was

He looked very ferocious! He had torn up several books and smashed a lot of things! To make matters worse, he didn't dare to lose his temper in front of everyone, so he could only shut himself in the study to vent. Because he had to maintain

The dignity a leader should have.

Zheng Zhilong lost his temper because he had received the news released by Liu Pei. Liu Pei released the news saying that future attacks would only be directed at Zheng Zhilong and his allies. When others were being chased by Liu Pei, as long as they could honestly lower the sails and stop the ship, Zheng Zhilong lost his temper.

My wife's people checked and found that as long as the ships belonged to the neutral party, Liu Pei would not rob them! He would not even take away the gold and silver on their ships!

This news accelerated the division of maritime power. Neutral merchants and pirates rejoiced and did not have to worry about further losses. They could continue to conduct maritime trade in a comfortable mood. Because there were two parties involved in the war, they used

There are fewer ships engaged in maritime trade, and profits have become greater, so they hope that Liu Pei and Zheng Zhilong will fight forever!

Even some of his allies were wavering. At this time, Zheng Zhilong's power was much higher than that of Liu Pei. But Liu Pei's strategy completely tore the power of his men apart and split them into two camps.

Zheng Zhilong even suspected that if Liu Pei was smart enough and had clear intelligence, he would organize a third camp within his camp, the camp against Zheng Zhilong? After all, it is clear here that there are many people below.

There are those who are opposed to him being the leader! Among them are those who covet this position, some who support others, and some who simply think he is too young and lacks both strength and qualifications.

This cannot be blamed on his allies for being hesitant. The months-long maritime guerrilla war has greatly consumed their financial resources. At the same time, they have to pay expensive pensions to the families of the dead sailors. Otherwise, there would be no one

I am willing to follow them.

At the same time, the sailors were tired of this endless war. After all, the sailors threw themselves into the sea for money. Under the command of the leader, they were willing to fight one or two battles. But this kind of hide-and-seek war
Chapter completed!
