Chapter 409
Wu Sangui had to board the cargo ship again. He didn't like to float on the sea, but he had to float on the sea. He and Big Beard agreed that this matter should not be told to the soldiers first. All the veterans knew in their hearts that once such news came
If it spreads, the morale of the army will be completely dispersed.
A small boat was hired to transport water to the boat. After hurriedly replenishing supplies, Big Beard sailed the boat to Peach Blossom Island.
Taohua Island was called "Baiyun Mountain" in ancient times. During the Qin Dynasty, An Qisheng fled south to Taohua Island to live in seclusion, practice Taoism and refine elixirs. One day, he was drunk and sprinkled ink on the rocks, forming peach patterns and spots. Therefore, the stone was called "Peach Blossom Stone" and the mountain was called "Peach Blossom Stone".
Peach Blossom Mountain", the island is called "Peach Blossom Island".
When the cargo ship arrived at Peach Blossom Island, it happened to be sunrise. The hazy sky seemed to be covered by an extremely huge silver gauze. A faint light appeared on the sea level, and gradually a touch of light red clouds appeared in the sky. This
At that moment, a small bright spot came into view, as if it was shy and never showed its true face.
The bright spot slowly turned into a fireball, surrounded by a golden rim. It was particularly conspicuous in the light blue sky. The "fireball" slowly rose, its outer layer was orange-red, and the middle was crimson. The rising sun was in a cloud.
It looked mysterious and beautiful under the wind. It seemed unwilling to pull away the light and soft cloud curtain, unwilling to reveal its ruddy and handsome face, and deliberately let the clouds hide beside it. In an instant, the shy rising sun broke through the clouds,
At the same time, it emits a dazzling light, and the clouds next to it are also colorfully reflected by the rising sun. There are rose-like clouds, golden flying clouds... The colorful clouds set off the bright sunshine, making people blind.
Thousands of rays of golden light shot towards the earth, and the earth became bright.
Although they have been floating at sea for two months, the soldiers are still used to watching the sunrise quietly for a while. The light always has the power to clear away the haze, whether it is physical or psychological.
Wu Sangui's psychological haze is far from being swept away by sunlight. He regrets so much that his intestines are blue. But now there is no way. He doesn't know where the future is, and he doesn't know where the future is.
Who is to blame? Li Xiao? Wang Tiqian? Qian Qianyi? The Emperor? They are all to blame, but none of them are to blame. The frustration, entanglement, and confusion about the future drove Wu Sangui almost crazy. Looking at the white-capped sea,
Wu Sangui even had the idea of jumping down and finishing it off.
It was almost noon and I finally saw Peach Blossom Island.
Now is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom. The entire island looks like a pink giant beast lying in the sea. A gust of sea breeze blows, and thousands of peach blossoms turn into scattered petals. When blown by the wind, a line of pink is formed.
The flower clouds. The salty smell of sea water seems to be diluted a little, and the fresh smell can be smelled from a long distance.
Even though he was feeling guilty and upset, Wu Sangui was attracted by the beautiful scenery in front of him.
The soldiers under his command were holding the side of the ship and looking at the beautiful fairyland-like island in the distance. When they heard that that was where they would stay, the soldiers let out a burst of cheers.
There is actually a port on the island, and all the fishing boats are moored there. It is close to the famous Zhoushan fishing ground in the East China Sea, so it is not surprising that fishermen have settled here. However, a few square-head boats still attracted the attention of Big Beard and Wu Sangui.
This kind of boat usually travels in the Yangtze River. Because it is a flat-bottomed boat, it cannot withstand the wind and waves on the sea. Who is so brave and risking his life to drive a square-headed boat here?
As soon as the ship docked, Wu Sangui led his men and rushed ashore. His men were the most capable people in the fleet. When they rushed ashore with muskets in their hands and howling, the fishermen immediately dispersed! This place is in the East China Sea.
, there is never a shortage of pirates.
The first reaction of the simple fishermen when they saw the pirates was to run away. Wu Sangui and the others caught no one. It is not their fault. Before that, they were all cavalry. But there is no way to carry horses on the sea.
For long-distance voyages, these famous Liaodong cavalry became infantry.
I was used to chasing on four legs, but now I have two legs, which is very uncomfortable.
The operation to occupy the pier was very smooth, not to mention the resistance and not even a single person was arrested. Wu Sangui felt that it was not a bad thing to have people. At least there would be no problem eating fish in the future! The seafood in the Bohai Bay was nauseating, but I didn’t know what the seafood in the East China Sea was.
It's not any better than the one in Bohai Bay.
Big Beard waved other ships to the dock, and a large group of sailors began to disembark in a chaotic manner.
"Bang...!" A gunshot drowned out the sound of the waves. Wu Sangui watched helplessly as a sailor fell to the ground clutching his chest. Blood and water kept spraying outwards, and the injured sailor didn't even have time to scream.
When he heard the gunfire, Wu Sangui rolled on the spot and hid behind a rock. His eyes kept glancing toward the shore. The peach blossom forest on the shore was so dense that it was impossible to see where the bullet was fired.
"Pa...!" There was another gunshot, and another sailor fell into a pool of blood and screamed loudly.
There was chaos on the dock. These people led by Wu Sangui were all well-trained Liao troops. As soon as the gunshots were fired, no one ran around and everyone crouched to find cover. The sailors of the Jiangnan Forbidden Army usually
I had never fired a gun very often. Now when I heard the sound of gunfire, I was like sheep that had exploded in the pen, running away on the dock. Several guys who were so panicked that they didn't choose their way simply jumped into the sea.
There were constant gunshots in Taolin, and sailors were constantly shot and fell to the ground.
After hearing the two gunshots, Wu Sangui frowned. The gunshots dispersed loudly and echoed loudly. They were the long-barreled firecrackers that had just been eliminated. Although this kind of firecrackers were slow to load, their charges were sufficient, their trajectory was straight and their range was high.
Far. As a firearm for long-distance sniping, it is the best.
This thing was first invented by Li Xiao. Wu Sangui heard that it was sold to the Nanjing Forbidden Army in large quantities. However, he did not expect that it was also found on this remote island. Could it be said that the Nanjing Forbidden Army lived on this island? Such a remote island
,Why are the Nanjing Imperial Guards here?
"Try to take the live ones." They were all veteran soldiers. Wu Sangui took a sneak peek at the position where the opponent put his gun. With a wave of his hand, his men surrounded him from both sides.
After all, they are well-trained Liaodong cavalry, relying on obstacles to continuously leap forward, and their tactical movements are perfect. After getting into the peach forest, the battle becomes a cat and mouse game.
The people who fired the guns were quickly found, and there were only seven of them. They all looked like southerners, and the guy in the lead had a rat beard and looked like a steward.
"Are you people sent by the imperial court?" Before Wu Sangui could ask any questions, the guy with the rat beard asked first.
Sent by the imperial court? Wu Sangui rolled his eyes. It seemed that they were not from the imperial court, but more like people who were being hunted by the imperial court. This is interesting. How could a group of people who were hunted by the imperial court appear on Peach Blossom Island deep in the vast ocean?
people?
"Straight bitch, I am a member of the Nanjing Forbidden Army." The bearded man lost four of his men, and he was very angry now. He punched the rat-bearded man in the stomach, causing the rat-bearded man to arch up like a shrimp in pain.
"As expected, they are the Nanjing Forbidden Army. My Ge Lao raises food and pay for your Nanjing Forbidden Army. Without my Ge Lao, how could you have the glory of your Nanjing Forbidden Army? You bastards, just kill them all. Bastards, they are all fucking bastards.
Egg, ungrateful!" After taking a breath, this guy didn't moan and scream, but cursed loudly.
This is a tough guy! But what Wu Sangui is more interested in is the word Ge Lao!
Ge Lao! You must at least enter the cabinet before you can be called Ge Lao. There are not many cabinet members in the Ming Dynasty, and there is only one who may be hunted down. The reason why his family was hunted down is because of Ge Lao.
My head is hanging on top of Nanjing City, waiting to be dried.
"Mr. Ge! Which Mr. Ge are you talking about?" As soon as the bearded man heard the word "Mr. Ge", his little heart began to tremble. A boss of this level could kill his whole family with just one look.
"Aren't you sent by the imperial court to arrest us?"
"Why does the court want to arrest you?"
The two people were stunned when they said something to each other. It was just a two-part fight.
"Are you a member of Mr. Qian Ge's family?" Wu Sangui had already guessed.
"Exactly, I don't know which general you are serving as a footman." Manager Rat Beard looked at Wu Sangui. The military uniform was very similar to the uniform of the Nanjing Forbidden Army, but there was something different about it.
"Me? It's better that you don't know!" Wu Sangui glanced at Manager Ratwhisker with a smile. Living on a deserted island, he could actually meet Qian Qianyi's family. This is fate. What a pity! Qian Qianyi, you old bastard
Damn, you've done me a lot of harm. Today, it's just a few of your minions who are taking it out on you.
Just as he was about to order people to deal with these guys, he suddenly saw several men with fire guns walking out of the peach blossom forest surrounded by two women.
The woman following behind was dressed as a maid. The woman walking in front was obviously of extraordinary status, with a graceful and graceful posture. A gauze-covered bamboo hat covered her face, but judging from her figure, she was a beauty.
.
"Madam! They are not here to arrest us." Manager Ratwhisker was obviously not very smart, so he shouted loudly when he saw the woman wearing a gauze hat.
A soldier nearby gave him a hard kick, and the guy immediately shut up.
Madam? Qian Qianyi’s wife? Wu Sangui immediately looked at the woman covered in gauze bamboo hat. He heard that Qian Qianyi had a concubine named Yang Ying, who was the legendary most talented and beautiful woman in Jiangnan. Wu Sangui was a little disappointed.
If the rat-bearded manager calls him his wife, then this woman must be Qian Qianyi's wife and not a concubine. He has never seen his wife, but Wu Sangui has never been interested in old women.
Seeing Wu Sangui sitting on the stone like a ruffian and looking at him up and down, Liu Rushi also looked up and down.
There was a misunderstanding here. Qian Qianyi had always ordered his men to call her madam. This made Wu Sangui misunderstand that she was Qian Qianyi's wife, not his concubine.
"This little general, who doesn't know any position under Li Shuai, why is he coming to my Peach Blossom Island?" Liu Rushi looked at it for a while and said to Wu Sangui.
"Oh! How did Madam know that we are the Liao Army?" Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment. The military uniforms of the Jiangnan Forbidden Army all learned from the Liao Army, and the uniforms of the two armies were similar. How did she, a woman, recognize it?
"Haha! The body and skin are affected by parents. Although the Jiangnan Forbidden Army learned from the Liao Army, they did not learn this one. You and your soldiers have short hair on their heads. Naturally, they are the Liao Army and not the Jiangnan Forbidden Army. We just don't understand. We
We have only been to Peach Blossom Island for a few days. How did Li Shuai know that we would come to Peach Blossom Island and order the Major General to arrest us? If you guessed correctly, the Major General's surname is Wu?"
"Do you recognize me?" Wu Sangui's eyes widened. He had the impression that he definitely did not recognize this woman.
"Revolvers are rare items. The average senior officer of the Liao Army only has one. And you have two revolvers in your waist. Obviously you are not an ordinary officer.
Let’s take a bold guess. If you are in a high position at such a young age, you must have the support of your parents. As it happens, I know a young man. His father is Wu Xiang, the general of the Liao Army, and his uncle is Zu, the general of the Liao Army.
Happy birthday."
"With just two guns, you identified me?" Wu Sangui felt incredible. Could this woman in front of him be a goblin?
"That's not true! When my father was alive, he once mentioned the Major General, and said that the Major General would bring a group of people and equipment to the dark side. Counting the days, it shouldn't be much different. Besides, the bearded man next to you is from the Jiangnan Forbidden Army.
He is a member of the navy, he has never seen me. But when he paid a visit to my master, I did see him."
"...!" Wu Sangui was speechless. He thought that his domineering spirit had exploded, but he didn't expect that the bearded man next to him exposed him.
"Since the young general has defected to my master, I have the obligation to take the place of my late husband and set up a table for the young general to welcome him. It must be that the young general came to Jiangnan for the first time and is not very familiar with the people in Jiangnan. He also has no hope for his future destination.
. I can analyze the current situation for the Major General. The Major General has a thorough understanding of the world and naturally knows what to do, which is the most beneficial choice for you."
Wu Sangui was a little confused. What was this woman doing? The woman in front of him made people feel unpredictable. What made Wu Sangui's heart palpitate the most was that he seemed to be in her hands. He knew nothing about this woman.
, but this woman knew herself well. This feeling was very bad, and Wu Sangui hated this feeling.
"I wonder where Madam will serve the wine?"
"Is this murderous intention? Haha! Major General, your life is at a crossroads. You take one right step towards wealth and glory, but you take the wrong step into the abyss. If you kill me, your chances of taking the wrong path will increase exponentially. If I were
You, just sit down and listen to what is going to be said next."
Wu Sangui put down the hand that was touching the handle of the gun. It was a bad habit he had developed over the years. As long as he had murderous thoughts in his heart, his hand would involuntarily touch the gun at his waist.
"I wonder where Madam is serving the wine?" This time, his hand did not touch the handle of the gun, but instead clasped his fist. Wu Sangui's intuition told him that the woman opposite was very powerful. Moreover, this woman seemed to have no ill intentions towards him.
