Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 226 Wu Weizhong

Three thousand Japanese pirates came to Ningbo alive and kicking, planning to rob money, food, and women.Unfortunately, they ran into Qi Jiajun.In just a few hours, the alive and kicking Japanese pirates turned into three thousand corpses.

The Qi family army once again proved that this land has belonged to them since ancient times.This land has never been a paradise for invaders, but a grave for burying invaders!

The military achievements of the Ming Dynasty have always been measured by the number of beheads.Qi Jiguang ordered that the heads of all Japanese pirates be beheaded.Three thousand heads were piled up into a hill outside Ningbo city gate.

Madam Qi holds the Meng Lai Sword in her left hand and a human head in her right hand.This head belonged to Kagezuo Heisei, the second head of Puro Island.

Madam Qi went up to the tower and threw Yingzuo's head at Hu Zongxian's feet: "Hu Butang, this is the head of the Japanese pirate leader."

Hu Zongxian cupped his hands towards Madam Qi and said, "Madam Wei Lie is indeed a heroine! Heh, my Ming army has people like you and Marshal Qi serving in it. Any foreign enemy who covets the territory of the Ming Dynasty cannot escape the fate of being beheaded!"

He Liu who was beside Hu Zongxian said, "Now, let's deal with Xu Hai!"

Three miles outside the city of Ningbo, the port.

Xu Hai said to his subordinates: "The artillery fire over there in Ningbo City seems to have stopped! Send out spies to find out the situation over there!"

Several spies rode fast horses and went straight to the outside of Ningbo.After half an hour, they returned to the port.

"Report! Island owner, the second leader's entire army is wiped out! The heads of the Japanese brothers are almost piled up into a hill at the gate of the city!" The spies reported.

Xu Hai was ecstatic in his heart, the plan to kill with a knife has succeeded!He beamed with joy: "Well, good. All warships, set sail and return to Puro Island!"

At this moment, a small boat with two flags sailed towards Xu Hai's warship.On these two flags, the word "Qi" is embroidered on one side and the word "Hu" is embroidered on the other.

One of Xu Hai's confidantes said: "Look, the island owner. Qi Jiguang and Hu Zongxian really thought we would go ashore and submit to the Ming court! They sent envoys here. Shall I order someone to bombard and sink this boat?"

Xu Hai waved his hand: "The two countries have not yet cut off the envoys. They came at the right time. Our island is holding the Beizhen Fu envoy of the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei. Just let them bring a letter to Hu Zongxian and bring 100 million taels of silver. Redeem the emperor's confidant house slave!"

The boat docked.The people who came were Wu Weizhong, one of Qi Jiguang's personal soldiers, and two boatmen.

Originally, He Liu planned to board the ship and negotiate with Xu Hai himself.Hu Zongxian didn't want him to take the risk.Hu Zongxian said to He Laoliu: "Xu Hai is just a pirate leader. It is enough to negotiate with him and let the Qi family army send a hundred households there!"

Wu Weizhong from a hundred households is in his thirties. He is a veteran of the Qi Family Army when the Yiwu Army was founded.Following Qi Shuai's killing for many years, he had a daunting murderous look on his face.

Wu Weizhong was led to Xu Hai.

Facing Xu Hai, the king of the East China Sea, the owner of Puluo Island, and the leader of the Japanese pirates, Wu Weizhong had no fear on his face. He said loudly, "Why didn't the general Xu Hai kneel when he saw the court envoy?"

Xu Hai had a reputation as a scholar before he became a pirate, and he knew the uniforms of the Ming Dynasty's officers and soldiers.He frowned: "I am a sea tycoon in command of 5000 people, and I will kneel down for you, a small family?"

Wu Weizhong laughed loudly and said, "A hero at sea? You are nothing more than a thief in front of Qi's army! Forget it, a thief at sea doesn't understand court etiquette, so I don't blame you."

Xu Hai sneered: "Oh, you are so bold! Tell me, why did Hu Zongxian and Qi Jiguang send you to look for me?"

Wu Weizhong said: "According to the rules of the imperial court's recruitment, your 5000 troops have to put down their weapons and go ashore, and walk to the outside of Ningbo City to wait for reorganization. Our Hu Butang said that he will fulfill the three conditions we promised you before."

Xu Hai looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Haha, what if I change my mind and don't plan to go ashore and surrender?"

Wu Weizhong smiled, and handed a brocade box to Xu Hai: "We, Hu Butang, said that after you read the brocade box, you will go ashore and surrender."

Xu Hai opened the brocade box, just now he still had an expression of arrogance and unrestraint, but in an instant it changed into a look of horror!

In the brocade box, there were two things lying quietly.A hairpin and a handkerchief.

The hairpin is the golden phoenix Chaotian hairpin.Every time he left Puluo Island and landed to plunder, he would personally insert this golden phoenix hairpin on Wang Cuiqiao's hair bun, telling her to take care of herself.

The handkerchief is blue silk tobacco Ropa.This is his token of love when he married Wang Cuiqiao, with a pair of mandarin ducks embroidered on it.

Xu Hai asked in surprise: "Why are these two things in Hu Zongxian's hands?"

Wu Weizhong said: "Our envoy He Zhenfu of Jinyiwei was afraid that Puluo Island would only be guarded by two hundred of you, and it would be unsafe for Mrs. Xu to stay on the island, so he took her back to Ningbo City first."

Xu Hai sneered: "You make up nonsense, at least it's decent! My wife and you, Mr. He, are still on Puluo Island. Wait, how do you know the number of 200 people?"

Wu Weizhong pointed to the west: "Xu Hai, you should have clairvoyance here, right? Look over there!"

On the coast, a large group of people appeared, thousands of people.In the middle of this group of people, there are a few people standing.One of them is He Liu.Standing beside He Liu was Wang Cuiqiao.Her hands were tied tightly with rope.The bearded Li, one of the eight generals of Puro Island, also stood beside He Liu.

Xu Hai picked up his clairvoyance and looked at it, his face turned pale!He immediately understood that it must be the bearded Li Fanshui who tied Wang Cuiqiao, rescued He Liu, and returned to Zhejiang first on the Huya Clipper!

Wu Weizhong said with a smile: "We are a vulgar man, and we can't read a few words. But we often listen to operas. In ancient times, some emperors loved beauties and did not love Jiangshan. Now you have two choices. One is to abandon your wife and choose to return to China. Go to Puluo Island, which is a small country. The second is to abandon Puluo Island, choose to go ashore and surrender, and stay with your wife, Changxiang. By doing so, you can get the official title of the court and be rich and honored. Which one to choose is up to you! "

Hu Zongxian and He Liu also had no idea whether Xu Hai could go ashore for Wang Cuiqiao and surrender.Fortunately, Bearded Li had a sea chart to Puro Island on him.Even if Xu Hai abandons Wang Cuiqiao and returns to Puluo Island, Hu Zongxian can still send sailors to follow the chart and go straight to Xu Hai's lair.

Xu Hai is educated, although he is not as smart as Xu Wenchang and Wang Cuiqiao, he is not a fool either.He knew in his heart that Huzi Li turned against the water, and the location of Puluo Island was no longer a secret to the Ming army.If Hu Zongxian went to besiege Puluo Island with all his strength in the southeast, he would definitely die.

And the woman he loves the most is also in the hands of others.Now it can only be at the mercy of Hu Zongxian!
Perhaps, Hu Zongxian is a man who promises a lot.When he goes ashore and surrenders, he will fulfill his previous promise, give me a high salary, and let Cuiqiao and I love each other forever.

Thinking of this, Xu Hai made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said, "That's all! I'll go ashore! I will submit to the imperial court!"

Wu Weizhong said with a smile: "You count yourself wise!"

There are two letter flags on Wu Weizhong's back.He signaled to the shore.

He Liu ordered people to reply with semaphore: "Let Xu Hai go ashore first. Master He has something to tell him!"
