Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 412 Lin Baiguang's Crisis

"But the shopkeeper—"

"I know, if I don't stop him, I'm afraid someone will follow suit." Old Zhucai looked solemn, and after thinking for a while, he seemed to have made up his mind:

"Director Wang, take care of the grain table immediately, distribute the stored grain to every share and every ship, distribute all the grain on the grain table, and prepare food for the whole army! Get ready for war"

"Ah?!" The leaders looked at him.Only the old battalion manager, Wang You, was not surprised—although another batch of food was obtained in the past ten days and some people ran away, the food supply was barely enough.But it’s only a drop in the bucket, and the entire army has only been out of food for a few days.

"Great shopkeeper! We are missing twelve big boats now! Should we wait for the boat to Lingao to come back to discuss..."

"It will be too late to wait for He Xin to come back. God knows what happened to them." Since the fleet is traveling overseas, once the delay is delayed, various factors are possible. Keeping waiting will not solve any problems, but will fall into a desperate situation of complete food shortage. .Wang You clearly pointed out how bad the current situation is.

"We have to fight, the food supply is about to bottom out." Elder Zhucai said coldly, "We're going to fight Min'an right now!"

"It's not a big deal to lose more than a dozen large ships. Small ships fight like wars. Small ships are more flexible when fighting such a land."

"Boss! What about the Australian envoy? Could this kid be fooling us?"

"Messenger?" Elder Zhucai waved his hand impatiently, "Just leave him in Nanri—he can't run away without a boat. There's no time to pay attention to him now!" He said loudly, "Tell the brothers, have a good meal , Set sail tomorrow morning. Take down Min'an and don't seal the knife for three days! The property and women belong to the brothers and take it first!"

"Thank you, shopkeeper!" All the bosses responded loudly.

He Xin's fleet sailed smoothly all the way, taking overseas routes, and arrived at Bopu Port in just six days.He Xin didn't know much about sailing, but he gained his position through nepotism, so Ren Fu, the captain of the flagship of the fleet, was the de facto commander.

He Xin was taken to meet Wen Desi.Wen Desi said a few words on the scene, and then complimented He Xin on his "young and promising, heroic appearance", and gave him an expensive gift, which made He Xin dizzy, and happily ate and drank in the shop Afterwards, they were arranged to live in a luxury suite.In the room, there were two prostitutes with outstanding looks who had been selected by Dongmen Chuyu for a long time.

Ren Fu and the sailors were also received by special personnel. They took a bath first, and then gave them each a suit of clothes. They were treated with delicious food and drinks.When we arrived in Lingao, there were fresh vegetables and chickens and ducks. As for wine and rice, we also offered them openly. We all thought it was "lucky" to be able to come to Lingao this time.Wei Aiwen went to battle in person, leading the cadets of the military and political school who were interns in the General Political Department, obviously doing "reception", but in fact they were doing face-to-face propaganda work.Vigorously publicize how the Time Travel Group treats the poor well, how it allows everyone to "have clothes to wear", "have food to eat", "have housing to live in", "able to marry a wife", "not to be bullied" and so on. matters of interest.In order to fully demonstrate their superiority, they were also organized to visit the houses, factories, farms and schools in the communes of Bairen and Bopu, as well as Dongmen City.

In order to let them have a full understanding of the new social superiority of the Traveling Group, this group of people was brought to Lingao County to give them a sharp contrast.

He Xin was accompanied by a special person from the Foreign Business Committee every day, and visited Dongmen City.If you have something you like a little bit, accompany and buy it immediately.If a woman with a yellow ticket is interested, she will be guaranteed to go to the shop at night, making He Xinle, who only got out of the pirate gang through her nepotism, very happy.Eating, drinking and enjoying came second. He had always been looked down upon by others in the pirate group. This time, someone valued him so highly, and he was greatly satisfied psychologically.As for the loan to buy rice, I simply put it in the back of my mind - it's not that I forgot, but I have to go back after buying the rice, so if I postpone the purchase for a few days, I can enjoy a few more days in this gentle village.

In fact, even if he was a very responsible person, he wouldn't be able to leave.As soon as the ships entered the port, the navy sent people to move the ships and seal the fleet's exit route.The Marine Corps is also on call to take over the ship at any time-similar drills have been done countless times in their gang training.

"I really don't understand the people of the Political and Security Administration, why bother: They are entertaining dinners, and entertaining prostitutes at public expense. Just arrest them all and take over the boat." Lao Di complained.He was the company commander of the Marine Corps responsible for commanding and monitoring ships.

The explanation of the Political Security Administration is: This is to ensure the safety of enemy workers.

No one can guarantee that there will be no spies from Mr. Zhu Cai or other forces in Lingao.If the boat is directly arrested and the other party Xingye sends out the message, it will reach Nanri Island within a week at most.The cross-travel group's "false negotiation, real poaching" will be fully exposed, and Lin Baiguang must die without a place to bury him.

Now that He Xin is being dragged by wine and women, the slowness of things is not a problem of the Traveling Group.

After eating, drinking and having fun like this for several days, Ren Fu is an old gangster after all, thinking that he came here this time to buy grain and gunpowder, if he delays any longer, he will miss a big deal.He Xin is a relative of the emperor, so he will naturally be able to get away when the time comes, and the responsibility will become his own.Immediately came to persuade He Xin: the tens of thousands of brothers in the fleet, and the big treasurer are waiting for food, so it's more important to finish the work early and go back.

He Xin just came back to his senses, thinking of what the shopkeeper said to him when he came out, he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly asked to see Wen Desi.

Unexpectedly, Wen Desi disappeared. Every time he asked people to contact him about buying food, the Australians always shirked—either the manager was not free, or there were not enough porters.It was only then that He Xin felt that something was wrong, and because he lived alone in the shop, there was no one around to discuss with.Ren Fu came once and never showed up again.

He Xin couldn't help it, so he made up his mind to go back to the blog shop first.As a result, as soon as he stepped out of the house, the guy outside greeted him:

"Where is Master He going? You guys should send someone to take care of you."

"It's okay, I'll go to Dongmen City to buy cigarettes." He Xin was not considered a fool, so he immediately thought of an excuse.

"The cigarettes will be delivered in a while, don't bother Master He."

"Fart, I want to buy it myself." He Xin said angrily.

"Master He, it's better to go back to the house first, so that the little ones can't bear it..." The man accompanied him with a smile on his face, but he didn't give an inch.

"Bastard, what do you mean, am I a prisoner?!"

"Where, Master He is a distinguished guest of the chiefs. You'd better go in the room first, we will bring the cigarettes right away, if you feel bored, please let me know, and then let someone come to play Japanese movies."

As he was talking, three or four fellows surrounded him with nodding heads and bowed their heads, each with a shuddering smile on their faces.He Xin couldn't help taking a few steps back, knowing in his heart that the shopkeeper had been duped by these thieves!

Reluctantly going back to the house, this luxurious and comfortable room is just a gilded cage, He Xin thought desperately.Most of Ren Fu and his brothers have already been murdered by them!As for myself, I don't know how long he will live.Thinking of this, my mood suddenly fell into the abyss.Lie on the bed and cried bitterly.

"What kind of pirate leader, it turned out to be a little bitch!" Uver spat in the listening room next door to express his contempt.

"He got to the top through nepotism, and he is not a real pirate leader." The person next to him said.

"Have the swallows come?"

"We're here, we're all waiting downstairs."

Uver came down a dark staircase, and in a back room of the shop two whores were waiting for him.

These are carefully selected by the Intelligence Committee from among the registered prostitutes. Not only are they required to have a good appearance and an exquisite figure, they must also be bold, careful, and good at coping.They receive a small stipend every month on the condition that they must be at the disposal of the intelligence service at all times.

"Listen." Wufu said to the prostitute in the house, "From today onwards, you will follow this Mr. He all day long, whether he eats, sleeps or goes to the bathroom. No matter what he says or does, please tell me at any time." report."

"The maidservants know."

"After the matter is completed, it will naturally benefit you, so go and serve him well now."

After finishing the task, Wufo hurriedly rode on his bicycle and headed straight to Bopu.

The situation in Bopu has been brought under control, and Ren Fu and his sailors have been brought under control.

"Let Ren Fu appear in public on a regular basis, and don't just disappear, understand?" Wufo instructed the staff, "Arrange to let him board the ship every day to see and say a few words. Ordinary sailors let them continue to live on the ship and act People from the Political Department are in charge of monitoring."

"What if they try to take the ship?"

"So you must control Ren Fu alone, and don't allow him to board the ship at night to prevent him from passing messages to the sailors. You must keep in touch with Minister Wei at all times."

As for He Xin, in addition to sending two prostitutes to serve him personally, there are many activities waiting for him every day.He Xin is like this every day, either eating and drinking in restaurants, or wandering in the streets with prostitutes.How could he still have such interest, but Wufo unceremoniously threatened him with something more terrifying than death: saying that if he dared to show the slightest reluctance outside, he would sell his little face to a Westerner's lord. Be a "sister".Then I showed him a GAY SM movie for one night.Whoever dares not to cooperate will end up in this way in the Xianggongtang of foreigners.The movie scene that night almost made He Xin faint, and he felt that his chrysanthemum was not safe for several days.

In order to keep his chrysanthemum, He Xin had to perfunctory every day, trying his best to show his debauchery.A few days after the alcoholic woman came down, her original sense of responsibility was gradually worn away, thinking that her days were probably numbered, so she simply gave up on herself and redoubled her wanderlust.The people in the intelligence committee felt very gratified. Everyone concluded that this method may be promoted in the future.

As for ordinary sailors, they don't think there is anything wrong with the happy days of eating and drinking in Lingao and sleeping with a woman. It's better that such days never end.Even if they went back in a hurry, He Xin and Ren Fu deserved the credit. They went back to work differently to fight the war.

Although everyone also wonders why they haven't loaded grain and gunpowder so far, they have always been "the leader decides the big things", and the sailors don't care about it.

The intelligence committee has stepped up intelligence gathering activities on Zhu Cailao's maritime movements.Lin Baiguang didn't carry any communication tools to communicate with Lingao. To know the development of the matter, he could only rely on the intelligence department to collect it.The Guangzhou station began to concentrate on collecting information about Zhu Cailao, Nanri Island and Min'an.

Zhang Xin sent Zhang Dabao to go to Fujian to inquire about news: he had been a pirate and knew a lot about the situation inside, so it was easy to get news.

"Zhucai is going to Min'an, you go to find a place to hide near Min'an, once Zhucai is defeated, you will let the pigeons come back!"

Zhang Dascara was puzzled, Mr. Zhu Cai was stationed in Nanri recently, this was known to everyone recently, but why did he seem to be going to fight Min'an?How do you know that he must be defeated?

"Yes, it's just that the combat power of the big shopkeepers is not weak. What should I do if I take Min'an down?"

"If he can't attack, he must be defeated." Zhang Xin said confidently, "Will you make a bet with me on this month's silver and this time's business trip? I will pay five."

"Forget it, you guys have sorcery, so I won't gamble." Zhang Dasara muttered to himself, and made a sign of the cross, "God bless! The evil spirits are gone!"

Zhang Xin laughed secretly: He is really creative as a believer.

Zhu Cailao's fleet finally launched an attack on Min'an in August of that year, and the attack lasted for four days.The offensive went smoothly on the first day. His fleet of sampans and small boats entered the Minjiang River under the cover of artillery fire from large ships, defeated the Ming army and Xiangyong who were intercepted along the way, and drove directly to Min'an Town.

Min'an is 600 kilometers away from Luoxing Tower and more than [-] kilometers away from Fuzhou.From Hou'an below the Luoxing Tower to Tingtou, there are continuous mountains on both sides of the bank, and the river is tortuous. The terrain at the Min'an Town Gorge is the most dangerous, the river is deep and narrow, and the narrowest point is only [-] meters. It is the throat guarding the mouth of the Minjiang River thoroughfare.The Ming army set up temporary artillery fortifications along both sides of the river here, and deployed dozens of cannons to intercept the upward fleet. their interception.But the pirates, under the encouragement of not sealing their knives for three days, did not flinch and attacked all the way regardless of casualties.

Min'an is the gateway to Fuzhou and the main seaport of Fujian. Once it falls, not only the tens of thousands of merchants and countless goods in Min'an will be turned into ashes, but also the seaport of Fujian will be closed. shock.Min'an businessmen fled one after another, and the situation was chaotic.

However, Zheng Zhilong had already led the army to come, and then fought against Zhu Cailao's main force outside the mouth of the Minjiang River.At this time, Zheng Zhilong was equipped with dozens of large ships equipped with heavy artillery sponsored by Xiong Wenhuan, which formed an advantage in both quantity and quality.The morale of the army was greatly shaken, and in the evening of the second day, as some ships fled the battlefield, Zhucai Lao's fleet finally collapsed.Seeing that the situation was unmanageable, Zhucai immediately packed up the remnants and retreated to Nanri Island, where he was going to gather the remnants and regroup.

Zheng Zhilong didn't intend to let him go, and immediately launched a pursuit. Under Zheng Zhilong's pursuit, all the old troops of various colors broke up all the way, and the ships were either lost or captured. Not one ship in ten retreated to Nanri Island.Anyone can see clearly that Zhu Cailao's destruction is only in the blink of an eye.

Fleeing all the way from Min'an, as large as "shares" and as small as "only", there are continuous ships leaving the fleet in disorder, or taking another life, or simply surrendering to Zheng Zhilong, the winner-this is among the maritime groups. It is not uncommon for this kind of alliance to expand rapidly when the wind is going smoothly, but once it loses a battle and the situation is not good, it will immediately fall apart.

In such a situation, Zhu Cailao led the remaining 100 boats to retreat to the sea of ​​Nanri Island.

These ships were smoking, some masts had been broken, and some sails still had arrows stuck in them, leaving marks pierced by stone bullets.The hull was scarred, with holes and blood everywhere.The ships looked so tense and flustered that they completely lost their normal formation.They just scrambled to escape for their lives.

And the pirates on the ship fought hard for days, and were frightened by the great defeat of the army.Despite the turbulence of the waves, most people remained silent and silent.From time to time the terrified eyes search the distant ocean,

The news of the defeat had spread to Nanri Island one step earlier than them—it turned out that since the morning of the battle, ships that had left the team had been fleeing back to Nanri Island. He has already rushed back to Nanri to transfer his family property.Some simply started to rob grain platforms and old camps.In the old camp, all the veteran soldiers in the old camp fought desperately to keep the camp.

More and more ships began to pull anchor and flee. Those relatives and "shares" of the same clan still held the idea that they might be able to clean up the mess and make a comeback. They reorganized the ships and waited for the army to return in chaos.

Lin Baiguang was still trapped in the old camp at this time.He originally thought that when someone was besieging the old camp, he would take advantage of the chaos and escape, but he didn't expect that there was a burst of gunfire outside, and then it gradually subsided.After inquiring about the news again, it was said that both the old camp and Liangtai had been defended.

Now he has become an ant on a hot pot.Lin Baiguang knew from the mouth of the soldiers he was familiar with on weekdays that many people had already left by boat.I couldn't help but feel worried - now I run, it's nothing more than people who are not directly related, the more I go, the rest are hard-core cronies, how can I pull them?In addition, there is no news from the few little leaders in his social life these days. It is not known whether he followed Zhu Cailao to Min'an and lost the battle or stayed in Nanri.He didn't know whether they were dead or alive, whether they had run away or remained on the island.

Lin Baiguang knew that the longer he stayed in the old camp, the worse the situation would be.Once those leaders run away or die in battle, his attempt to control the fleet will be completely defeated, and once Zhu Cailao returns, Nanri Island will become the Shura field for the final decisive battle with Zheng Zhilong, and he will die in all likelihood Among the chaos!
