While Zhou was preparing for his wedding, Wei Xizhuang, with more than a dozen ships and a team of more than a thousand people, was wandering not far from a small island outside Kagoshima.

He held the telescope brought from the Westerners in his hand, looked at the simple small cottage on the opposite island, and sneered: "I dare to rob your grandfather's ship, I'm impatient to live! The cannons turn around, prepare for me to shell, and everyone else is ready!"

He Qishou stood beside him and hurriedly said, "The head home is Kagoshima, and the territory of the Satsuma clan is in front of him. If you fire a fire directly, it will probably alarm Japan."

Wei Xizhuang was chased by pirates on the sea before, and almost sank the ship. He was so angry that he didn't listen to He Qishou, and said directly: "What kind of bird is Japan? So what if I beat you? Prepare!"

Two ships were equipped with forty cannons. Following Wei Xizhuang's order, they immediately turned around and pointed their muzzles at the village on the island.

The Japanese on the island seemed to feel it. Many people stood on the shore, leaning forward and backward, and saying something loudly, as if they were mocking Wei Xizhuang.

Wei Xizhuang saw it very clearly in the telescope and immediately gritted his teeth and said, "When grandpa, I'll kill you, see if you still laugh, fire me!"

Seeing this, He Qishou stopped persuading him. He came with him to establish contact with North Korea, Japan and other merchants and start maritime trade.

Bang bang bang

Not long after, Wei Xizhuang's fleet fired, and black shells quickly landed on the island.

The Japanese pirates who were originally pointing at Wei Xizhuang and joking listened to the sound of cannons, looked at the dense shells in the sky, and suddenly screamed and ran away in all directions.

Boom boom boom boom

These shells were all flowering bullets, falling everywhere near the mountain village, exploding the earth, rocks rolling, black smoke swaying, and sparking fire.

The pirates on the island panicked and ran around. When they saw several ships approaching, they became even more panicked.

A group of people gathered together for a while and ran to the back mountain.

Wei Xizhuang looked in the telescope and sneered: "I want to run away? There is no door! I'll surround the island, so no pirate is allowed to run away!"

Several other ships began to circumnavigate behind the island, obviously chasing the pirates running backwards.

After a while, Wei Xizhuang saw that there seemed to be no one on the island, and waved his hand and said, "Stop the shelling, go ashore, and anyone who does not surrender will be rectified on the spot!"

"yes!"

This was not the first pirate to Wei Xizhuang. His subordinates responded well, picked up their weapons and followed the ship to approach the island, preparing to attack the island.

Wei Xizhuang quickly landed on the island. There were only about one hundred bandits on this island. Except for those who were killed and destroyed, the others were scattered and ran away completely.

While Wei Xizhuang ordered people to enter the village, he ordered people to search for the remaining pirates across the island.

There are more than a thousand people in Weixizhuang, and it is easy to eliminate more than a hundred pirates.

Not long after, battles broke out around the island, and many pirates surrendered and were taken to Wei Xizhuang, saying something with a fierce look on their faces.

Wei Xizhuang heard the headache and looked behind him.

Immediately, a man who knew Japanese language stepped forward and said, "Sir, they said that they are from the Satsuma clan. We declare war on the Satsuma clan, asking us to release people and apologize."

Wei Xizhuang took out his ears and said, "Is this a declaration of war? Cut off their heads and hang them on the flagpole."

The Japanese people couldn't understand Chinese, and they thought Wei Xizhuang was free to do so. They hesitated and raised their heads and chests more and said threatening words.

Before they could finish speaking, they were dragged out and their heads were chopped off one by one. Their eyes were wide open, and they were hung on the high pole in shock and fear.

Wei Xizhuang snorted and said, "Jili Gulu doesn't know what he is saying, it's really annoying."

He Qishou could only smile bitterly, and then watched the soldiers carry out boxes of things from the village.

The soldiers counted, and the outsiders came to report, saying, "Sir, I have cleaned it up, there should be a few more people diving."

Wei Xizhuang didn't care at all and looked at the big box that was lifted out.

He Qishou took a look and said in an exclaim: "The boss has 13,000 silver, 2,000 gold, other jade, pearls, grain, and some things from Western barbarians, which are worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver."

Wei Xizhuang raised his eyebrows, stood up and looked at it, saying, "No wonder Old Zhou asked me to suppress bandits. Everyone has such a fat relationship. Is there any place for pirates around?"

He Qishou was choked and before he could speak, a soldier said, "Sir, according to the information we have obtained, there are more than a dozen nearby."

Wei Xizhuang stood up and said, "What are you waiting for? Carry on the boat and leave!"

The soldiers did not expect that the silver would come so easily. They could get tens of thousands of taels of money in just a few cannons. They did not want to be unhappy. They responded and followed Wei Xizhuang on board the ship again.

In just one month, Wei Xizhuang wiped out more than 20 islands near the Satsuma Pharaoh, wiped out thousands of pirates, seized nearly 100,000 taels of property, and returned home with a full load to return to Tianjin Guard.

Wei Xizhuang didn't know how much of his move caused in the Satsuma clan.

The Satsuma clan and the Japanese even thought that the Ming Dynasty was going to attack Japan. The three generations of the Tokugawa family who had just taken power were busy cleaning up the major names. When they heard that the Ming Dynasty had a navy, they were panicked and sent a team of envoys to advance to the Ming Dynasty's capital.

Zhou Mansion.

The Zhou family is now full of joy, with Zhang Hong hanging colors everywhere, and there are endless servants and maids coming and going.

"Uncle Fu, we know we are wrong. Please let us come back..."

At the gate of Zhou Mansion, a couple knelt on the ground and cried to Uncle Fu.

This is the couple who resolutely chose to leave when the Zhou family was in trouble.

Uncle Fu said lightly: "The master has retired, the second young master resigns, and the eldest young master is away. Our Zhou family is much worse than before. If you are not qualified to stay, you can go wherever you should."

The man hurriedly said, "Uncle Fu, we have suffered a disaster in the countryside and have nowhere to go. Please, for years of friendship, let us come back. The master is the most kind and will definitely take us in. Uncle Fu please, tell me about the love..."

Uncle Fu suddenly looked cold and took out a few pieces of silver from his arms, threw it over and said, "Where are going back and forth, the second young master is going to get married. If you make it ugly, don't blame me for being merciless!"

The man looked at Uncle Fu's cold expression and felt cold. Did he know that the butler of the Zhou family was quite cruel when he became cold.

But the woman quickly picked up the silver and looked at the man timidly.

The man's eyes flashed, he gritted his teeth, stood up and turned around and left.

At this time, a maid came over and said, "Uncle Fu, there are some things on the second young lady's house, please take a look."
