Li Jiqian led the people through the woods. It seemed that they were safe for the time being, but Li Jiqian's heart became cold: it was probably difficult for them to escape.
Li Jiqian thought to himself: The Ming government was indeed well prepared. Although they were short of manpower in the rush, they had already begun to take precautions in the places that should be prepared.
By this time, their group had been running for a long time and everyone was tired. Li Jiqian saw that there were no pursuers behind him and ordered everyone to take a rest.
When they heard Li Jiqian telling them to rest, everyone who was already so tired immediately collapsed on the ground and didn't want to move.
Li Jiqian called several petty leaders and his sister Li Sha'er over and said to them: "The Ming government is indeed well prepared. It is estimated that the road to the port has been sealed. The brothers who stayed at the port have probably been
He was caught by the Ming government."
"The current situation is that if we go to the port, we will probably be trapped in a trap. We can only go north to the Yangtze River and cross the river to Chongming Island."
Hua Xiong, one of the sub-leaders, said: "Brother, then just ignore the brothers on the ship at the port?"
Li Jiqian said sternly to him: "Is this your first day as a pirate? If you encounter a situation where you can't save it, you still have to rush to die!"
Hua Xiong said: "But we are not sure yet whether they have been caught." But his voice became smaller and smaller, because they reasoned according to Li Jiqian's thinking that it was indeed impossible for the Ming government to let them stay.
For ships in port.
Seeing that no one else was talking, Li Jiqian said, "It's probably almost Yin hour now. Let's rest for half an hour, no, half of half an hour. Then we all go out and go to the Yangtze River."
"And everyone should spread out and run away, one by one if they can escape." Li Jiqian sighed. This time, their preparations were still not sufficient. It is probably impossible for everyone to escape.
Although the premise of Li Jiqian's judgment was wrong, the ship at the port had indeed been detained at this time, and everyone had been arrested.
All this was due to Sun Bozhi, the commander-in-chief who was on duty at the post. As the commander-in-chief, Sun Bozhi was very serious and responsible even though he was unwilling to be on duty. The station of the post was still some distance away from the port where the sea opened.
distance, and the port is very important now, so three small flags are on duty at the rear and two small flags are on duty at the port.
Sun Bozhi stayed at the post for a while, then took two soldiers to the port to inspect. Naturally, the two small flag soldiers at the port found it incredible. Although no one left their posts without permission, no one took them seriously.
On duty, everyone gathered together to have fun, and some people got drunk and slept around.
Sun Bozhi said a few words to them and asked them to restore order immediately. Because Sun Bozhi was usually very prestigious in his banner and not stingy, everyone packed up and stopped drinking even though they were full of reluctance.
Assign people to go out on duty.
Since Sun Bozhi was celebrating the New Year, he couldn't speak too harshly. Seeing that they were still obedient, he told them, "I can't do what I did just now when I leave. Anyway, I will be on duty until the 15th day of the first lunar month. I will take over tomorrow morning."
When you come home, you can drink as much as you want. Isn’t it better than drinking here? I’ll treat you tomorrow night and treat your brothers to a drink.”
Then he planned to leave. But just when he went out and hadn't gone far, he saw a medium-sized ship being prepared, as if it was about to leave the port.
Sun Bozhi immediately became suspicious. Who would sail away at this time? What could be so urgent? So he ordered the soldiers on duty to inquire.
The ship that was about to sail was naturally Li Jiqian's ship. The people who stayed on the ship became nervous when they saw the officers and soldiers approaching. They caught him as soon as the officers and soldiers got on the ship, and speeded up preparations to sail the ship.
Sun Bozhi also reacted quickly. When he saw their actions, he knew there must be something wrong. He ordered a ship belonging to the Hou Suo to be sailed, drove it to the middle of the port to block the road, and sent people to use ignited arrows to shoot at the ship.
, and burned the sails they had hung up.
They put down the boat again and tried to escape in the boat. But it was too late. Sun Bozhi commanded the boat at the rear to sail near their boat. Even if the boat was lowered, it would be sunk by the collision.
At the same time, Sun Bozhi sent someone to inform his superiors, and also sent someone to ask the people stationed at the station to come and help.
At this moment, Wei Huo also arrived here with more than a dozen people. As soon as Wei Huo saw this situation, he made a decisive decision and immediately began to let his people join in the siege of the people Li Jiqian left on the dock, and took over the scene
power of command.
After several people were killed, the remaining people were captured without hesitation. Wei Huo ordered the soldiers to tie them all up and temporarily lock them up in the house where soldiers who violated military discipline were detained in the rear prison until they could be dealt with after discussing with Zhang Yanfang tomorrow.
At this time, Han Guang arrived here belatedly.
Wei Huo didn't have time to discuss the matter with Han Guang in detail, so he rushed back with his people to support the arrest of Li Jiqian and others. It was almost dawn at this time, and the arrest was just in time.
When Han Guang took a look, he felt that the situation here was settled by the command of Wei Huo. He was suspected of dereliction of duty. In order to make up for his fault, he followed him with the soldiers who had gathered.
Li Jiqian took his sister Li Sha'er and several others and quietly came to the edge of the woods. After observing carefully for a while, he felt that there were no soldiers guarding the place. Then he left the woods and rushed to the edge of the Yangtze River while it was still dark.
.
Li Sha'er was very nervous. She had never experienced such a dangerous time since she was born. The previous time she was chased at sea, although it was also very dangerous, there was always the possibility of desperate efforts, which could always cause some harm to the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.
Damage; but now if the cavalry catches up, they can't even resist and can only wait to die.
They rushed to a place not far from the river, and then found a relatively tall reed bush to hide and look towards the river.
It was already dawning at this time, and I could see soldiers from the Ming Dynasty patrolling the river every ten feet. It was impossible to run into the river without alerting the soldiers.
They waited for a while, but saw more and more people coming to the river, and many of them were not soldiers, but people from each village. It turned out that Li Jiqian had already mobilized the villagers in each village, and the villagers in each village followed 2
A joint defense was established to protect the armor. From the words of passers-by, we can know that many people have been caught. Those who did not resist were captured alive, and those who resisted and injured others were mostly killed even if they later put down their weapons.
He was executed on the spot.
When Li Jiqian listened to them talking about executing his brothers, his heart was twisted and he wanted to rush out and kill them; the brothers on the side were the same. But they were all people who had experienced life and death, and they finally held back.
Finally, they waited until one of the people on duty at the riverside went to urinate. The people nearby also patrolled to the other end, leaving only one person to guard the place.
Li Jiqian knew that as the number of people increased, sooner or later they would search the reeds by the river, and they would no longer be able to hide. So he winked at the people around him. The brothers around him understood.
They rushed out in a hurry, and Li Jiqian went up to grab the man by the river, and then waved his hand to cover his mouth. However, the soldier still shouted before his mouth was covered, attracting the attention of others.
Li Jiqian secretly thought that it was not good, but at this time the people around him were already alerted and rushed towards here.
Li Jiqian did not dare to go into the water. He knew that there was no way to survive, so he decided to fight to the death. He swung his sword and planned to kill the soldier in his hand. The soldier looked at him with very frightened eyes.
But Li Jiqian turned around and saw his sister Li Shaer. Although she pretended to be calm, the panic in her eyes could not be concealed.
Li Jiqian's heart suddenly softened. His biological sister was only sixteen years old after the Chinese New Year and had not experienced anything. She did not deserve to die here and was captured by the Ming army. At least there was still a glimmer of hope for her life, even if she was to be a prisoner#
#, it’s better than dying here. There is always hope. The people on the sea don’t have as many useless rules and old ideas as the Han people on 6.
So Li Jiqian let out a long sigh, dropped his sword, let go of the man in his hand, and captured him without hesitation. Although the brothers who had been following him were puzzled, out of trust in Li Jiqian, they all dropped their weapons and captured him without hesitation.
The soldiers who came next to them all approached cautiously at first. Even when they saw Li Jiqian and others throwing down their weapons, they were still very frightened. It was not until they found that they would not resist that they swarmed up and tied them up.
At this time, someone recognized Li Jiqian as a person on the wanted list. The soldiers immediately cheered: The reward this time will definitely be indispensable! Maybe he will be promoted!
Under normal circumstances, they would definitely do anything to see such a beautiful girl like Li Shaer, and maybe something more serious would happen. But because he was caught together with Li Jiqian, so
They just wanted to talk about it, and then escorted Li Jiqian and others to the Shanghai Shipping Department.
On the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, young people from the entire Shanghu County, as well as the newly established Qingpu County, mobilized to join forces with soldiers from three guards stationed in these two counties to arrest Li Jiqian and the others.
For this group of people, all places in the two counties were searched to ensure that no fish slipped through the net.
In the end, all of Li Jiqian's men were caught, and some of them were beaten to death, and their bodies were thrown into random graves. The arrested people were escorted to the Shanghai Shipping Bureau or the Shanghu County Yamen.
