Shengsi Islands.

A huge fleet of ships was walking in a winding manner on the blue sea, and countless sails formed a spectacular scene of sailing like forests. At the forefront of this fleet, among dozens of small boats of various types, a big blessing ship slowly moved forward under the drag of five sails. On the deck, Chen Tingyang, the Minister of War of the Nanjing Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, stared at the vague coast in the distance.

"Master, go to Chongming or Songjiang?"

A slave from home asked.

"Send a flag and ask the back!"

Chen Tingyang said.

The old slave shouted a few times to the mast above his head, and then the observer and signal soldiers above waved the flag and sent messages to the largest blessed ship five miles away in the rear.

Then the flag utterance was sent back there.

"Go to Nanjing!"

The signal soldier above his head shouted.

"The emperor compiled this flag phrase. If you want to wave the flag a few times, you will understand it. There are also this call tube, this sextant, this new chart of the latitude line, and this clock. We are not afraid of wherever we go. We are simply the savior of the sea boatmen. But the emperor has too harshly collected the land. Although the master has a viscount, most of our land must be handed over. The officials and gentry jointly wrote a letter to the emperor to beg for the favor. Why don't the master sign with him?"

The slave from the hometown looked at Chen Tingyang and said carefully.

The Shen family is not an ordinary family. The Chongming Island almost has a surname. Although they have been following the Tang King to protect the Ming Dynasty, including transporting materials to the north, the Shen family has also made a lot of efforts before, so they were granted a viscount, but now they still have to hand over most of the land.

"A bunch of things that are ignorant!"

Chen Tingyang sneered.

"The emperor is willing to be enemies with the world and kills people. Isn't it just for this? At such a price, the emperor has come to this point of success, so how could it be changed because of their letter? Why didn't our Shen family not pay? When we broke into the rebellion and broke into Beijing's Holy Driving Broadcasting Broadcasting Broadcasting Billion, we had never changed our loyalty to the emperor. As it is now decided, the Holy Family Fang Long went against the emperor for a few acres of land, and the Holy Family who had been exchanged for three years was wasted. Why did this stupid thing be done? It's not just our family, tell us that the other families of the Shen family, and the emperor will pay as much as the land you want!

The emperor didn't want them in vain!

Isn't that money money?

The price of two chunks of banknotes per mu is very reasonable!

You must understand that the wealth of our Shen family does not depend on land. The emperor's favor is the guarantee of our Shen family's wealth. With the emperor's favor, what is money? What is land? We don't want the emperor's money, and we directly offer land to the emperor, and give all the land over 20,000 acres of land to the emperor."

Then he said again.

"Sir, a ship is coming out of Huangyanzui in front!"

Suddenly the observer shouted.

Chen Tingyang hurriedly turned his head.

A large ship slowly sailed out behind Huangyan's mouth in front of him. He hurriedly raised his telescope, looked at it and sneered: "It's a Japanese ship, the left-wing sentry immediately intercepted it. They went out of Zhoushan and returned to Nagasaki and actually ran here. The road was too erratic, and they didn't look at whose territory the Yangtze River Estuary was."

Immediately afterwards, five light-loaded bird ships on the right wing turned and accelerated. At the same time, Chen Tingyang's ship turned around and turned forward. The Japanese merchant ship was from Ningbo. The ship was full of cargo, which was incomparable to the speed of these warships that had basically no cargo. Especially the five bird ships who were sent to the channel, quickly crossed the northwest wind in the diagonally ahead. A thousand-pound cannon on the deck directly aimed the muzzle at the Japanese merchant ship. The latter had to lower the sails and slowed down and stopped on the sea surface. Soon, more than a dozen warships led by Chen Tingyang surrounded it.

"Master Chen!"

A black and thin middle-aged Japanese walked out of the cabin and bowed humbly, saying to Chen Tingyang's old slave.

"Hei Ba? What ulterior motives did the ship receive? Don't even say hello?"

The slave from home said.

"Mr. Chen was joking. The villain just came over and caught some fish for food on the way."

Heiba ​​said with a smile.

The slave of his hometown immediately gave Chen Tingyang a wink. His Shen family is a domineering the sea at the estuary of the Yangtze River. It would be a joke to say that he is obedient to the public and abide by the law on weekdays. It is also one of his main businesses to engage in smuggling trade with foreign merchant ships. Otherwise, Chen Tingyang wouldn't care about handing over the land at all! His income from sea transportation every year is enough, so he doesn't need to dig food from the soil. Just look at Zheng Zhilong to know how many benefits it will be if he gets favored by the emperor. Although he is not engaged in ocean trade, the Shen family can take over the sea transportation, so he will be guarding the gold mountain.

Since this Japanese is an acquaintance, there is no need to go deeper into it. You have to be kind and make money when doing business. It is not good to understand some things too well.

Chen Tingyang waved his hand expressionlessly.

The bird boat blocked in front of him immediately started slowly. The Black Ba bowed humbly and smiled clearly at the slaves of his hometown. But at this moment, the cabin door beside him suddenly was knocked open. Before he could react, a young woman rushed out and took a few steps to the side of the ship. A Japanese sailor reached out and didn't catch it. She jumped directly and fell into the sea with a splash of water.

"Take it!"

Chen Tingyang shouted without hesitation.

Smuggling doesn't matter, but smuggling people won't do that.

"Brother Wumei, don't be fine!"

But at this moment, another old man in blue clothes rushed out of the cabin and raised his hand to him and said.

Chen Tingyang glanced at him deeply.

He ordered the bird boat to stop again.

"Where do you want to go?"

He took a deep breath and said.

"A former friend of Japan invited me to study abroad. My concubine didn't want to leave my hometown, so I made Brother Wumei laugh. Everyone has their own ambitions, and my brother no longer forced her. It would be better to give it to Brother Wumei, which is also a love affair."

The latter said.

Chen Tingyang looked at the woman on the water. At this time, four sailors had already jumped on the bird boat closest to. Although the woman did not know the nature of the water, she could flap a few times. The sea water did not easily drown people. At least she could hold on until the four sailors passed by. He had guessed the identity of this woman. This was a bargain. Although it didn't matter if he was playing black, it was always a joke. Besides, the two sides had some friendship. If they really wanted to kill them all, they would be a little bit unstoppable, and they would easily be criticized in the future.

"Brother, I won't send it to you!"

He bowed and said.

"Thank you, brother!"

The latter said gratefully with a sigh of relief.

The Japanese merchant ship started slowly. Chen Tingyang sighed, waved his hand somewhat sighingly, and made a farewell to the old man. However, the latter had already rushed into the cabin and did not see it. Chen Tingyang looked down at the sea. The four sailors had arrived to hug the woman. The latter had choked a few mouthfuls of sea water and was coughing violently. His beautiful face made him feel even more moved. However, just like she suddenly jumped into the sea, after stopping coughing, the woman suddenly raised her hand and pointed to the departure Japanese merchant ship...

"Wumei Gong, he is going to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, there is Jiannu on the ship!"

She shouted to Chen Tingyang.

Chen Tingyang raised his head in shock.

"Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

Almost at the same time the observer shouted.

At the distant estuary of the Yangtze River, more than a dozen fastest navy bird boats suddenly appeared, lined up in a row and rushed towards the front of the Japanese merchant ship like an open fishing net. On the mast of the bird boat in the middle, a red dragon-carrying sun and moon flying flag, but on the deck under the flag, there were also soldiers standing behind the back, wearing military uniforms of the Jinyi Guard, holding the hilt of the knife in his hands.

"Come on, fire!"

Chen Tingyang shouted without hesitation.

On the starboard deck behind him, accompanied by a chaotic shout, six red cannons sprayed flames almost at the same time. Six shells roared out in the deafening sound of cannons, and instantly hit the port side of the Japanese merchant ship. Because the distance was only a few dozen meters, the two shells even hit the waterline accurately. The sea water immediately began to pour into the ship, and the sailors on the ship ran in horror. Then the Dafu ship leaned forward. Just when the woman was rescued to a bird boat, the Dafu ship was almost helping. The sailors who had already prepared had thrown their hooks and jumped over like pirates in the Caribbean. Five men rushed out of the cabin of the Japanese merchant ship, and fiercely swung their scimitars at the sailors.

These five people had extremely strong combat power. In a blink of an eye, they cut down more than a dozen sailors, and the Japanese sailors also joined the battle. Soon all the sailors boarded the ship were killed and injured.

However, this is of no use.

There are 10,000 navy troops behind Chen Tingyang!

And he doesn't need that much trouble.

Just as all the sailors fell down, six condescending cannons on the deck of Dafu ship suddenly spewed out flames, and countless shotguns swept across like a storm. Now it was useless for those people to be able to fight. Almost all the people standing on the deck of the five Japanese merchant ships were sieved into sieves. The man in charge of the man's hat was knocked away, and even a layer of wig on his head was taken away, revealing the short stubble that had grown inside and the tail behind him.

"Jiannu!"

A scream rang out.

The man was covered in blood and had not fallen down yet. He held the knife and roared fiercely, preparing to rush onto the lucky boat, but at the same time, a beautiful woman emerged from the cabin door behind him, carrying a stool and hitting him fiercely on the back of his head. The man turned around blankly and looked at her with an incredible expression. Then before he could react, the stool fell down again, and he tilted his body and fell on the deck with a full face of grief.

"Gu Hengbo, you don't look like a lady!"

Chen Tingyang said with a smile.

"Wu Mei Gong laughed. This person is Zhang Jing Sony of the Jiannu Military Affairs Office. Gong Dingzi was bribed by him and was confused to rebel. After Gong Dingzi was executed, they fled from Nanjing. I was also held hostage by them. I had long wanted to beat this Jiannu hard."

Gu Hengbo said with a sweet smile.
