: Sharpening the knife

Zheng Erba was the partner of Haigouzi when she was not successful. At that time, the two of them were robbing the house on the same boat. This man was fierce and brave when fighting, but he was fucked by a bad temper and lacked scheming. His friends from the past all made their mark. Haigouzi became a giant thief on the sea with 19 islands and 13,000 people, and he was just a small leader.

But after all, there is such a connection, so although Zheng Erba knew that he could not bear it for a moment, he never expected that the sea dog would be so heartless that he would send him to Fuzhou to behead his head and sacrifice his sword to Yang.

Zheng Erba was tearful when he was tied to the mast and cursed. This angered the sea dog's follower. Someone knocked off his teeth with the hilt of the knife and stuffed it into a ball of torn canvas. Zheng Erba's eyes were so bloody that it looked so bitter that everyone felt pity for him.

Yang Ling was furious when he received the news that the pirates committed suicide by abducting a ship, but then he couldn't help but turn his anger into joy when he received these pirates. He praised the people sent by Hai Gouzi and gave them some gold and silver gifts to encourage him.

Then Yang Ling ordered people to prepare a small boat in front of the envoy, tied Zheng Erba and some pirates on the boat, piled up firewood and drove the boat to the sea to set fire to light it. According to local saying, it was that he could not get buried in the soil if he died, and he became a lonely ghost from then on.

The sea dog was eager to block Yang Ling's mouth so that he would not use the excuse to lower the price, but did not realize how serious the incident caused to his loyal subordinates. Yang Ling's disposal of Zheng Erba was sent back to Shuangyu, and the thieves felt even more sad.

In the past, no matter how tragic the sea dog used to deal with his subordinates, or even because his subordinates disobeyed him, he was covered with fat and lit a sky lantern under the cliff. But that was a matter between the pirates. Now he tied his subordinates to the court and handed them over to the officers and soldiers to deal with them. The thieves felt resentful, and his prestige and control were rapidly weakening.

"At the beginning, the Lord carried out three strategies of suppressing, pacifying and luring surrendering against the coastal pirates. Now the Japanese pirates have almost been eliminated, and there is no place for them to survive in the southeast half. The remaining Japanese pirates no longer dare to rob Dabu and Dacheng. Now they are rushing into mountains and forests, and are almost like beggars.

They had no supplies and no soldiers to supplement them. They just died of illness and death in the mountains, which naturally reduced their combat power to the extreme. However, the officers and soldiers of the garrison became more and more brave and had no mentality to fear them. It was only a matter of time to eliminate them.

The Japanese pirates who retreated to the water were unable to advance or retreat due to the double interception of the Ming Navy and the Japanese Navy, so they had to surrender to Haituzi and Xuemao. Now Xuemao and the others turned against each other. The Japanese pirates living on the island were like catching turtles in a jar. There was no way out of heaven and no way to enter the ground, so they had to wait for death. Therefore, the Japanese pirates' problem can be ignored now.

In terms of comforting, the beauties of the four great enemies in the East China Sea have already surrendered. Bai Xiaocao saw the opportunity early and took the initiative to surrender. Although one of these two people robbed the family, they had a somewhat thief style of robbing the rich and helping the poor. The other was simply armed merchants, who valued wealth but not power. After joining the court, they would not have any intentions.

What makes people worry about is the sea dog and the snow cat. These two people are ambitious and are definitely not willing to live in the country. Once they enter the officialdom, they will not be able to resist sooner or later. Besides, the court cannot agree to give them freedom and power. To be the free and free sea king, then they can only get rid of it.”

Cheng Qiyun said one by one with her fingers, and at the same time, she was walking habitually in the room.

She knew very well that Yang Ling was savoring her every move while listening to her, so in her every move, she showed her mature and charming charm to her beloved man in every move.

Her soft robe was not tied with a strapless breast, and a pair of round and plump breasts jumped and swayed playfully inside the robe, and Yang Ling's heart also jumped and shook.

"Come on. Sit down and say," Yang Ling stripped the precocious lychees and nodded to Cheng Qiyun.

His chin was plastered with his own thighs. Cheng Qiyun gave him a sweet look, but he still leaned over as he said, and the fragrant bones were in full swing.

The fragrant buttocks were as plump as if they were boneless. Even with a layer of soft silk, you could still feel the wonderful roundness and perm. Yang Ling couldn't help but embraced the beloved lovely person. His hands passed through her ribs, peeling off the last piece of red silk. He picked up the white ball of ice and snow and handed it between her tender and plump lips.

Cheng Qiyun looked at him sweetly, opened her red lips and held the lychee in her mouth. Her lips squirmed, and suddenly turned around and turned to her lips. A sweet smell came into Yang Ling's mouth. It turned out that in this moment, she actually peeled off the lychee completely with her flexible lips and tongue. The juice was almost damaged too much, and the whole piece of flesh was fed to him.

Cheng Qiyun smiled and spitted the core into the disc, saying, "Well, Hai Dogzi worked hard in Shuangyu for many years. Judging from the news that He Sibiao sent back, if he used a ship cannon to attack, it would be difficult to break through the fortress with the power of the current cannon. At the same time, he was not familiar with Shuangyu's sea routes and the cost of casualties was too high, so a hard attack was not advisable.

As for the snow cat, the sea route is far away, especially the way to go, you have to bypass the sea dog. If you can't take the sea dog and go out to attack the cat, you will be afraid that the sea dog will cut off the retreat route of the navy and attack from front to back, so you can't attack hard."

Yang Ling wiped his hands with a snow-white scarf. "Well..." Cheng Qiyun bit her lips and moaned softly, and said with a red face: "When it comes to luring surrender, the difficulty lies in the fact that they can be eliminated, and the court cannot lose their dignity. The court cannot go back on its word and do something to recruit first and then slaughter.

Yun'er initially... wanted to provoke the relationship between this cat and a dog, and find opportunities to get millet from the fire. For this reason, I arranged it early and placed eyeliners around them.

However, now it seems that the two thieves have no rift between each other due to a dispute over interests. Moreover, the pirates and pirates will not know when they will cause trouble, so it is better to fight quickly. Therefore, Yun'er thought that she should adapt to the situation and adjust the original plan in time."

Yang Ling became interested and smiled and said, "Let me tell me, what good way does my Di Yuner harm people?"

Cheng Qiyun gave him a blank look and said, "I mean, take a two-pronged approach, use a knife at the same time and use a trick to lure and kill the snow cat, but this will inevitably hit the cat and startle the dog, which will arouse the alertness of the sea dog. Therefore, when killing the cat, you have to use troops to the sea dog at the same time. As for the reason, it is very easy to deal with, just say that he has been reluctant to accept the court's amnesty, procrastination, and has ulterior motives, so the court will change the court's reunion to suppress the suppression."

Yang Ling has always been thinking about how to get rid of Snow Cat and Seafood. He already had an idea in his mind to deal with Snow Cat. But since he wanted to recruit Snow Cat, the momentum must be quite terrible. If Snow Cat really raises his troops to surrender, how can he get rid of him legitimately?

So Yang Ling frowned slightly and said, "Now I'm not afraid of Xuecao not coming to vote. What I'm afraid of is that he can't find a handle to deal with him after he is voted. I can't keep consuming him in Fuzhou. I'm afraid of a change. As for the sea dog..., do you have a way to deal with it?"

Cheng Qiyun turned around and said, "Yun'er can only harm people, not fight. If you want to cheat the snow cat, I'll do it. If you want to beat the dog, it's better to take action."

Yang Ling's eyes flashed and he smiled and said, "Me? How can I do anything?"

Cheng Qiyun's lips curled and said sourly: "Is there no way to do it by sir? Then Yun'er was wrong. A few days ago, I saw the adults ordering the fire to burn some pirates Zheng Erba, and they thought you, Zhizhu, were holding it."

Yang Ling laughed, tightened her hands, and hugged her slender waist and said, "If you want to slaughter a dog, you have to slaughter the cat first. If you want to slaughter a cat, you can't start the dog. After all, you have to start at the same time. Time must be mastered just right. I just want to know now, how are you going to attack the snow cat?"

Cheng Qiyun turned around and held his neck, kissed her sweetly and sweetly, while expressing her plans to him. By the time the plan was finished, her hair was slanted and her pretty face was dizzy.

After listening to it, Yang Ling pondered for a long time and finally nodded and said, "I will immediately send someone to summon Song Xiaoai, Meng Sihai and Jiangzhou's three troops to secretly enter Fujian."

All kinds of ships are endless, with sails spread like clouds.

The snow cat looked back at the Turtle Island, which was like a giant turtle exploring the sea. She sighed with some attachment: I am leaving, I have been here for most of my life, and every stone on the island is extremely familiar.

Now, we are finally going back to the land. The poor boy who was not famous back then is now a prosperous maritime admiral, glorious and glorious ancestors.

He looked at the busy tribes with satisfaction. This was the capital. When I replaced the new warships and artillery of the court, I had heavy troops and was in charge of one side. By then, even the court would be afraid of it.

Hehe, Haigouzi wants to be the governor? Go dream. I defected to the court today. He was in a low position. Then maybe he would be assigned to me to manage all his troops.

He touched the imperial edict in his arms, and it seemed like he was dreaming for a moment. This was what Ma Xiucai saw. It was really a two-dragon robbery of golden silk and Su embroidered pearls. The real emperor's imperial edict would never be wrong.

The fleet gathered from more than ten islands in his jurisdiction was already covered with sea surface. The snow cat boarded his own ship and waved his hand with all his will: "Go!"

Countless fleets of ships headed towards Fuzhou Bay. Since the first ship sailed out in the early morning, the ships gathered from each island were endless, and they did not all sail out of Turtle Island until the afternoon.

At Fuzhou Wharf, the flags are waving and the soldiers are as handsome as clouds.

The sea water slams the shore and the sound of waves is soothing. Amid the sound of seagulls, the fleet covering the sky and the sun has sailed to the dock. The ceremonial armor is clearly and majestic. The ritual band played a joyful song. Yang Ling led the Fuzhou army and the political officials and officials, and the well-known gentry celebrities in Fuzhou, waiting for the snow cats under the colorful silk shed.

In order to avoid the suspicion of Xuemao, in addition to the guard of honor, there were only three thousand cavalry soldiers on the dock to guard the guards. Today, the prefect Liu was busy. He had to arrange the station and food of the Xuemao's troops. He had to arrange people to unload personnel and property as soon as possible after the strange ships of Xuemao large and small entered the port, arrange cars and horses to transport them to the base, and command the empty ships to leave so that the subsequent ships could continue to enter. Although he didn't have to do these things himself, the commander and Zhang Luo were busy sweating profusely.

The Snow Cat Landlord ship entered the port, and a whimpering sound of horns sounded from the dock. It was low and powerful, followed by gongs and drums and firecrackers. General He, Liu Magistrate and others rushed to the dock to welcome him.

The snow cat stood at the bow of the boat early. As soon as the boat landed on the dock, the springboard had just been put on. Before the cable was tied, he led three sons and seven leaders who were named out of the boat with a breeze on their faces.

He Sigai was with him. He introduced the people from both sides, responded to each other, and thanked each other. After hearing the identities of these people, Xuemao felt that Yang Ling was very courteous to him. He was both happy and glorious in his heart, and couldn't help but thank him repeatedly. Then the officials accompanied them to chat and have a banquet and walked into the colorful sanctuary to meet the imperial envoy.

Yang Ling had a python robe and jade belt, and sat upright in the long case paved with red silk. Two guards stood on both sides. He held the imperial envoy's Seal Seal Monk Fang's sword. As soon as the snow cat entered the colorful shed, he smiled and rushed to take two steps. He knelt down on both knees and said, "The criminal prisoner Wen Hancheng, the death row prisoner, will pay a visit to the imperial envoy, Governor Yang."

Yang Ling quickly stood up from the case, greeted him with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Admiral Wen, Lord Wen. Haha, the past is gone. You will be an important minister of the court in the future. The emperor will never give the grace to Lord Wen. In the future, he should be loyal to the state affairs and do his best to serve the court, so that he will live up to the emperor's love."

"Yes, yes, yes, thank you for your kindness in support. Wen Mouyi is a rough man. He is used to being in a state of chaos at the sea. He does not know etiquette and law, nor does he understand the rules. I hope you will take care of him in the future."

After the meeting ceremony, Yang Ling read out the imperial edict on the spot, asked Xuemao to put on the robe of the third-rank military general in the new land, and then walked with him affectionately and walked into Fuzhou City.

All the people in the city saw the imperial envoy Yang and the thief Xuemao joining hands to enter the city with the thief who was recruited to the place of reunion. The courtesy was grand.

Afterwards, Yang Ling took Xuemao and his confidants to the most luxurious "Shoushan Pavilion" restaurant in Fuzhou City, and invited civil and military officials and local gentry to accompany him. More than 300 people gathered together. Fish, crab, shrimp, oysters, and delicious food on the table were naturally the best local dishes. There were also singing and dancing entertainment for singers, which was a lively event.

The pirate leaders were all wearing official clothes, and they were also officials of the court. They were greeted by others and were so excited that they were so happy that they even took the airs of adults. At first, they were so excited that they could not help but rolled up their arms and sleeves, stepped on the stool and slapped the table.

Everyone was drinking and was in a hot mood. Yang Ling saw that Liu Magistrate came in from outside in a blink of an eye. He raised his glasses and toasted the wine, and walked towards him. The two of them stood under the corridor column. Yang Ling whispered: "Have you arranged it?"

The prefect Liu nodded and said, "Yes, it's all arranged in Jiangbianzhou. General He sent 8,000 officers and soldiers to station in Hedong, and surrendered thieves stationed in Hexi, looking at each other by the water."

Yang Ling nodded and asked, "Did they doubt it?"

The prefect Liu smiled and said, "No, they have just surrendered. The court sent troops just in case. Besides, there are tens of thousands of people, and we are only eight thousand people, and there are still a river. The pirates are relieved. The officials have ordered people to send 100 pigs, thirty sheep, and four carts of good wine to let them drink it happily."

Yang Ling said with a smile: "Well, what benefits did they not give you?"

The prefect Liu was stunned, his face turned red and white, and he ate for a while and said, "The Xiaguan is guilty. They... they did give Xiaguan a box of gold and silver jewelry, and... and two thirteen-year-old Japanese girls."

Yang Ling raised his glasses to the neighboring table, drinking as if nothing had happened, and then whispered to the prefect Liu: "If you take it, just take it away. Tonight, the troops will be in chaos. If you stay there, you may even lose your life.

This official also understands the principle that water is clear and there is no fish. He just reminds you not to overdo it. Wang Feiling’s previous lessons may not have the courage to recruit enemies and kill officials at the beginning. He was just tempted by profit, and he fell deeper and deeper, and he could not extricate himself."

Liu Zhifu pulled up his clothes and wiped his forehead with cold sweat, his lips a little pale and said, "Yes, yes, yes, the officials know how to control and what to collect. They will never dare to be greedy and abuse the law and harm the people. The officials paid the fine wines of pigs, sheep and wines they bought today, and did not dare to owe the people a penny."

Yang Ling smiled and said, "Okay, I've been busy all day, so you can go to a bar. You are a civil servant, and you don't have any trouble tonight, so just let me drink."

Yang Ling staggered back with a glass. The prefect Liu thought for a while without any loss of fear. Today, the carriages and horses sent to transport pirates' families and property, as well as the rice and grain they bought in stock, and the people's silver had not been paid. He didn't care about drinking, so he ran out and called the master from his home, asking him to get the matter done immediately, and repeatedly told him not to deduct it. Then he returned to the banquet.

Yang Ling returned to the table and had two more drinks with Xuemao, and used the excuse to walk to the back house. He walked through the patio and the flower hall, and turned into a study room on the right. Cheng Qiyun had already been waiting for him here. As soon as Yang Ling entered the door, he asked anxiously: "How is it?"

Cheng Qiyun stood up and said, "Mr. Han, Lord Peng led ten newly built land centipede warships to set off first. This ship does not have to set sail, but can be used for the first round of sneak attacks. The Zhejiang Navy and Fujian Navy sent a total of 120 horse and fast ships to transport 18,000 troops to accompany each other. They just waited for the fire to be raised and attacked the mountain immediately. Our new warships have increased to twelve. In case of precautions, they will all be sent to pick them up. We will definitely be able to take down the Shuangyu tonight."

Yang Ling sighed relieved and smiled, "Okay! Go to Meng Sihai and Jiangzhou again. Now Han Chao and Xiao Ai are not in the camp. Don't make trouble for these two players. Tonight is when we collect the net and catch fish. There is a little trouble, so don't scare the fish away!"
