Lin Gao Qiming

Chapter 413

Thinking of this, Lin Baiguang deeply regrets that he tried his best to do "banyan work" at the beginning. This thing is really unreliable!How can I control this chaotic situation?Wishful thinking has been done over and over again, but I never expected that changes will always be faster than planned.It doesn't matter if he dies - he has always adhered to the philosophy of "seeking wealth in danger" and "willing to gamble and admit defeat", but the reputation left behind is probably a negative example of arrogance!In vain being treated as a laughing stock by the Lingao group.

But I was not familiar with the terrain, so I couldn't get out of the camp at all. Even if I could go out, it would be useless to go to the sea without a boat.

I was looking for someone to inquire about the current situation, but the outside was chaotic, and I ran out of the tent recklessly, and I was about to be stabbed before I opened my mouth.While he was at a loss what to do, someone suddenly broke in and took a closer look, it was Xu Cheng.

"Brother Xu!"

"Stop talking, just follow me." Xu Cheng dragged him over, "Don't talk on the way, just follow my eyes."

"Okay." Lin Baiguang knew that there was no need to ask more questions at this time, and he just followed.He has already packed up all his few things. The most important thing in the chaos army is money, which can buy his life when necessary, followed by dry food and clean water.I also got myself a small knife as a weapon for protection.

Xu Cheng led him out of the tent, and the camp was full of people running around.The soldiers, family members, and servants all swarmed around like headless flies. Those who extinguished the fire, those who searched for people, those who wrapped the wound... were all in a mess, crying and screaming.

Xu Cheng dragged him and ran all the way until he stopped beside a wall of the camp. There was a hole in the wall, and there were five or six people guarding it.

"Go out from here and go straight to the north. Shi Shishi's boat is waiting for you there! Hurry up and get on the boat."

"What about you?" Lin Baiguang asked gratefully in his heart.

"I have worked with the shopkeepers for 13 years, and I can't do things like running for my life on my own." Xu Cheng sighed, "There are seventy or eighty brothers under me, and I can't do without them." I can't bear..."

"Take everyone to escape together!"

"Run together, the old camp will be over in an instant! There are still the big shopkeeper and the families of the leaders here."

Now the island is in chaos, in order to compete for property and escape ships, they have even begun to kill each other.If the old camp collapsed, none of the women, children, and children inside would be able to escape.Lin Baiguang couldn't imagine that this disgruntled little boss could do this at the last moment, and he couldn't help but be in awe:

"Brother Xu, you are really brave and loyal..."

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go! When the rebels come over, even you will die!" Xu Cheng stamped his feet and shouted, throwing a package to him as he spoke.

"This is a little of my savings. If you can escape with your life, help me give it to my family! The address is on the package!"

Suddenly, a ship's gunpowder magazine exploded on the sea, and the flames erupted into the sky.Black smoke billowed.The faces of all the people around were pale.Lin Baiguang nodded: "I will not disgrace my life!" He tied the package on his body and ran away.

The road has become extremely uneven, with fires everywhere and adventures everywhere.There are chaotic crowds along the road, waving knives and guns, carrying packages, running aimlessly. Sometimes two groups of people collide and start killing each other for no reason.

Lin Baiguang didn't dare to linger, he chose places where no one was around to run, and hid when he saw a large group of people.Finally ran to the trestle by the sea.

Taking a closer look, Shi Shishi's boat was still there. Shi Shishi led a few strong pirates, armed with bows, arrows and spears, and guarded the bow of the boat. When he saw anyone trying to seize the boat, he shot an arrow.Even so, the deck of the ship was already full of people.

"Come on!" Shi Shishi's eyes were sharp, he saw a short-haired guy running towards him, and he looked around, knowing that it was Lin Baiguang.

Lin Baiguang finally climbed onto Shi Shishi's boat, and when he got on the deck, he was paralyzed like mud, panting heavily—this life-and-death rush is really exciting!

"Where's Old Xu?"

"He refused to come out, saying that there were family members of the leaders in the old camp..."

"Oh, this guy is real." Shi Shisi stomped his feet repeatedly, "I lost my life in vain! All the shopkeepers can't even take care of themselves!"

"how?"

"Look!" Shi Shishi pointed to the waters east of Nanri Island while telling the sailors to steer the boat. coming.It also continuously spewed white smoke.The surface of the sea was shrouded in thick clouds of smoke for a while, and was blown by the sea breeze for a while, revealing the spectacular scene of thousands of sails racing forward.

In contrast, the fleet of Zhucai Lao who lined up along the edge of Nanri Island looked very thin.

Everyone can see that Mr. Zhucai will definitely lose this time.He set up an formation by the sea, probably to buy some time for the old camp to escape.

"This is Zheng Zhilong's fleet?!"

"That's right, it looks like it's all out."

Zhucai's fleet, under the pressure of the opponent, kept retreating, and those ships that did not have time to retreat were surrounded and swallowed one by one.The burning warships lay paralyzed on the sea, like torches spreading black smoke.

It turned out that Zheng Zhilong had so many boats!Lin Baiguang finally understood why the executive committee was so fearful of the enemy in this space-time maritime group.Sure enough!A ship with only a few rifled guns and no engine will drown you to death.

Shi Shishi said that he would go all out. Lin Baiguang knew that Zheng Zhilong had a bigger opponent, Li Kuiqi. It was impossible for him to bring all the crew to the vicinity of Nanri Island. At least one-third to half of his strength had to be left behind. Beware of Li Kuiqi, besides, he still has ships on trade routes to buy and buy—Zheng Zhilong's strength is really extraordinary.

"Brother, if you don't come again, I will have to run away." Shi Shishi pointed to the nearby sea area, "Zheng Zhilong's boat is encircling, and no one will be able to escape in more than an hour."

"How many brothers?"

"Fatty Hu took the boat and ran away first, and Lin Dan also went to fight Min'an with the brigade. I don't know how he is..." Most of the people went to fight Min'an with Zhu Cai, and now they don't know whether they are alive or dead.A small number of people have already run away.Shi Shishi's experience was quite thrilling. He was on the way to attack Min'an. When Zheng Zhilong was fighting with Zhu Cailao's main force at the mouth of the Minjiang River, the fleet he led was fighting Xiangyong outside Min'an Town.

Xiangyong fought very fiercely because he had the firearms of the government army to help him, and he was defending his hometown.Shi Shishi took people wading to land several times, but Xiangyong beat them back and left more than 40 brothers. In the chaos, a large ship ran aground and had to be discarded.Small boats were also burned and took three or four.

"It's really a big loss this time!" Shi Shishi was heartbroken.

Later, he was ordered to return the whole team to the waters outside the Minjiang Estuary to support the team.As soon as he led the ships out of the mouth of the Minjiang River, he saw Zheng Zhilong's fleet coming in an endless stream. Knowing that his side was definitely not an opponent, he ran away from the battlefield.

"If I run a few steps slower, I won't be able to return!" Shi Shishi probably felt that his fate was too great.

Lin Baiguang was slightly disappointed. In the current chaos, he could at most persuade Shi Shishi to vote for Lingao. The other leaders didn't even know their whereabouts at the moment, so there was no way to talk about recruitment.

Seeing his serious face, Shi Shishi thought that he was worried about his friends, and he comforted him: "Don't worry, everyone has already made an appointment. If you get separated, we will meet up near Dadanyu and try to find a way out."

Lin Baiguang nodded, thinking about how to persuade these dispirited pirate leaders to defect to Lingao after arriving at Dadanyu.Just as he was thinking, the little pirates behind him suddenly let out a cry, and then they started to stir up nervously.

Lin Baiguang was taken aback, and raised his eyes to look around, only to see three three-masted sailboats with a full [-] tons rushing straight up from the slant amidst the chaos.It looked like it was about to crash into Shi Shishi's fleet.They were all with full sails, and they were coming in a hurry. The few boats that were on the brunt managed to dodge in time, and managed to pass by without being hit.But even so, Shi Shishi's subordinates have already screamed in fright: "Where are you bastards, how can you sail the boat!", "F*ck your mother!"...

Shi Shishi showed contempt in his eyes: "This fellow runs very fast!"

"who is it?"

"Something from He Xin's journey." Shi Shishi said, this is a so-called fellow clan of old Zhu Cai, named Zhu Ting.I don't know how to connect him with the sect in many twists and turns.In a Chinese-style family group, the most important thing is the blood relationship, even if it is a fake one, so this newly released family member quickly rose through the ranks, got a leader in the old camp, and assigned a big ship.It is the backbone of the confidant.

The three ships did not respond to their yelling and scolding. The three ships with full sails flashed past before everyone's eyes and went straight to the open sea.

Suddenly a sailor shouted: "These boats are strange!"

"What's wrong?"

"It's very heavy, maybe it's loaded with some cargo..."

Zhucai Lao has traveled across Fujian and Guangdong for more than ten years, accumulating countless treasures, gold and silver.In addition to the ones that were transported back to the hometown, it is heard that there are hundreds of iron boxes in the old battalion that just went with the army. According to Xu Cheng, they are full of gold, silver and jewelry.

It is very likely that these treasures are on Zhu Ting's boat.

Once the old order collapses, everyone will become unscrupulous in an instant.People like Zhu Ting, who Shi Shi Shi Shi Shisi despised in the past, were still extremely polite on the surface.Now this "imperial relative" has no status, and may bring treasures, just a big fat sheep!

However, Shi Shishi remained unmoved, and only cared to raise the flag and tell the boats to drive directly to Dadanyu without stopping - he still knew which was more important, money or life.Chasing up to fight Zhu Ting is a win, but the time spent will not be recovered. By then, Zheng Zhilong will grab as many treasures as he wants, and it will be nothing!

The way to escape was still full of dangers, various fleets and sporadic ships fled in all directions. In the next few hours, they encountered such panicked and fleeing ships several times in succession. Like the team, they kept silent and just ran for their lives; but some were clearly frightened, and when they found a boat blocking the front, they ignored 21, fired rockets, and fired cannons, killing Shi Shishi's boat. Several brothers were beaten to death.Shi Shishi was so angry that he cursed and fired indiscriminately.

Lin Baiguang sat in the safest place on the poop, seeing the collapsed chaotic situation, he felt no pity in his heart.

The battle in the sea area of ​​Nanri Island is coming to an end. Zheng Zhilong's fleet broke through the cover of Zhu Cailao's two wings, bypassed the bay, and began to block Nanri Island and the surrounding waters. The small islands around Nanri Island, originally All the colorful elders set up camps and forts, and raised their flags one by one.Those ships that were still fighting began to turn around and flee.

At dusk, the old Zhucai Group, which had been famous for a while since the end of Wanli, was completely wiped out.He himself and the main leader were all killed in battle.

The news of Zhu Cailao's final demise was first spread to Lingao from Zhang Dascar.Zhang Dasara saw that Zhu Cai's old man was defeated from Fujian, and after releasing the pigeons, he rushed to Zheng Zhilong's lair Zhongzuo to inquire about the news.Within a few days, I saw the sea in the middle left area.Sure enough, they found out that Elder Zhu Cai had already been killed on Nanri Island, and the entire army was wiped out.The ships and men under him either fled or were recruited by Zheng Zhilong.

Zhang Dasara knew that the news was extremely important to the Australians, so he didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly hired a fast boat and returned to Guangzhou to report the news.

"Lin Baiguang is an idiot! He lost his life in vain!" Ran Yao saw the urgent call from Guangzhou Station and slapped the table hard.I couldn't help but feel a little sad.After all, he is also a comrade.He walked around the office a few times. Although Lin Baiguang was dead, his plan of recruiting pirates to expand the naval power would still be carried out.

Before that, however, he had to do one more thing.He hung up the phone and went to Bopu: "Old Di? Let's do it."

He Xin was arrested in the suite of the commercial building, and then put a mask on his head and escorted him out of the secret passage.He was imprisoned in a secret place, and Ren Fu was taken away to be with He Xin at the place where Bopu was under house arrest.As for the sailors, they were called to the shore under the guise of "watching Japanese movies", and then all were sent to the quarantine camp, during which no force was used.

The Executive Committee and the Navy did not have much expectations for Lin Baiguang's recruitment and surrender plan, and had already formulated a plan to "recruit exiles" after the collapse of Zhu Cailao.It is planned to send some ships disguised as merchant ships or fishing boats to the oceans of Fujian and Guangdong to recruit and surrender.

Shi Shishi's fleet finally arrived at Dadanyu without any danger.Dadanyu is just a bare rocky island with no permanent population.However, there is fresh water available on the island, and there are harbors sheltered from the wind, so temporary parking is not a problem.Shi Shishi's men, even the big boat and the small boat, only ran out eight.Lost almost two-thirds.A lot of the gold and silver he had accumulated over the years also sank along with the ship.He scolded Shi Shishi so distressed.

Here at Dadanyu, Fatty Hu has arrived with his five boats.Because he saw the opportunity early, he was the first to run away, unscathed and no casualties.

Then some ships came one after another, and Lin Dan also came.He only had four boats left, and when he saw Shi Shishi, he shed tears—all his brothers were killed in the naval battle.As for the dependents, they were stuck on Nanri Island, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.As soon as he arrived on Shi Shishi's boat, he came to ask if there was any news?

"Did the old battalion finally escape?"

"Probably not." Shi Shishi said, "When I left, Lao Ying's boat was still on the shore, and the big treasurer led people to resist desperately on the shore, probably to let Lao Ying go-that will be Zheng Zhilong's The boats are closing in. I almost ran away myself."

Lin Dan's complexion was gloomy after hearing this, and he lost even the interest in talking.

Of the dozen or so bosses who drank and gambled with Lin Baiguang at the beginning, half of them either died in the battle or their whereabouts were unknown. However, the rest of the people and other sporadic ships that went to Dadanyu to rest and recuperate unexpectedly gathered more than 100 ships. .

But Dadanyu is a deserted island with no food.The ships ran for their lives in a hurry, and even if there was some food on board, they could not last for a few days. There are more than 100 ships, and there are almost more than 1000 people of men, women and children.Squeezing into a square inch is not a long-term solution.All stocks are thinking about what to do next.

Right now, their choices are nothing more than: defect to a certain sea force, such as Zheng Zhilong, Li Kuiqi, and Liu Xiang, the "big shopkeepers", or burn the ship ashore and hide temporarily.

Everyone has different opinions on who should defect to, and no one can convince anyone for a while.But most people are not willing to take this path. After this war, they will lose their troops and lose their generals. If they have no strength, they will not be taken seriously if they go to the past. At that time, they will be killed as cannon fodder.

As for the idea of ​​starting on your own, it's not that no one has thought about it, but there are too many bosses here, and no one has enough prestige, so everyone can't recommend a boss to control the overall situation.

After the defeat, there was no source of food and salaries. Although each family brought out some accumulated property, it was a drop in the bucket for rebuilding.

Lin Baiguang has not said a word. Instead of facing endless doubts and opposition when he raises it now, it is better to wait until they are at the end of their rope and have nowhere to go before speaking.Often can be finalized.

After two days of discussions like this, there was no result.Dadanyu has nothing but limited fresh water, and there is not even enough firewood. If the discussions continue, everyone will run out of food.Fatty Hu finally couldn't bear it that night and announced that he was going ashore.

"I don't do this shopping, I just wash my feet and go ashore! In the past ten years, I have spent tens of thousands of dollars in fear, eating, drinking, and being a rich man waiting to die."

This remark resonated with many people.Some people with only one or two boats left are thinking about it.Almost all of them have accumulated different amounts of property, and when they were prosperous in the past, they entrusted people to set up many properties in their hometowns, and it was not a problem to go back to collect rent and live as a rich man.

After a big defeat, people's hearts are often discouraged, and the mind of retiring takes the upper hand.
