In the woods less than two miles from the convoy, it was quiet and peaceful.

A sparrow landed under a tree to feed, but the sparrow, which had only been on the ground for less than a minute, spread its wings and flew north. A figure came running from a distance, walking in a hurry, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

When someone came to shout "no" in the forest, it turned out that this quiet forest was full of people, and dozens of people flashed out, each holding a knife.

At the head is a big man with a moon head in the shape of a man, dressed in the costume of a Japanese samurai, but holding a bright machete instead of a Japanese sword.

His face is ugly and fierce, his two eyes are aggressive, a scar extends from his eyebrows to his chin, a scar extends from his cheeks to his neck, and there are countless small scars on his body, exuding a fierce aura, it is Chen Jiu, a well-known pirate in western Guangdong.

Chen Jiu is a genuine Ming man, but he didn't deliberately want to disguise a Japanese samurai, but he had a yearning for a Japanese samurai, so he shaved off his hair and wore a Japanese samurai attire.

Chen Jiu is not actually surnamed Chen, nor is he the ninth in the family, but because he originally joined a pirate group surnamed Chen and became the ninth godson of the leader of the pirate group.

Pirates, after all, are not glorious professions, even if Wang Zhi, the first pirate leader in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, this is not his real name, his real name is Wang Quan, and Wang comes from his mother's surname.

Although the news of Xiao San and the others did not come back, after learning that the merchant group was actually coming to the east of the city, he planned to ambush here, capture all the merchants, and do this coveted kidnapping and ransom ticket.

But unexpectedly, the other party was very cautious, and even sent two people to reconnoitre, and they were finally informed.

"What should I do?" His henchman Uda Qi asked.

"Gather the people, let's do them!" Chen Jiu squinted his eyes to the west and made a decision.

"Are we going to enter Leizhou City?" Uda Qi's eyes widened and he asked in shock.

It's just that as soon as the words fell, the back of the head was slapped, and Chen Jiu said angrily: "Are you a pig?" Aren't we, the people, dead? We chase after them and eat their tails when they flee in a hurry! ”

Although he extremely despised those Leizhou guards in his heart, Leizhou City was the place where Leizhou Wei was guarded, which was related to his duties and honor. On weekdays, the sergeants of Leizhou Wei may not be able to do their work, but once they face the siege, they will arouse their full combat strength.

It was precisely like this, even the Tricolor Pirate Regiment, which was more than ten times stronger than him, could choose to ignore the weak Leizhou Guard, but they did not dare to attack Leizhou City.

After giving the order, the dozens of men chased along the avenue to the west, intending to attack the merchant team. Although there are fish trucks coming and going all year round, the road is still bumpy.

"Wait!"

After chasing for about two miles, Chen Jiu suddenly stopped and found that there was something wrong with the mountain road in front of him. He has experienced life and death several times, and his sense of danger is higher than that of ordinary people.

Those sharp eyes condensed, looking at both sides of the secluded mountain road, and found that there was something strange here. Soon, he noticed the helmets hidden in the grass on the hillside, and the helmets were moving.

"Don't act rashly here!"

Chen Jiu snorted coldly, letting Wu Tianqi lead a group of people to stay in place, squinting at the grass pile on the hillside.

Not to attack the city, this is a tacit understanding of their pirates in western Guangdong, but the prestige of killing these Leizhou guards or government officers and soldiers outside the city has never been less.

Chen Jiu took the lead and led more than 20 people to quietly touch the path next to him, and his eyes flashed with a hint of anger. Living a life of licking blood at sea, the courage is naturally not comparable to ordinary people.

Going around the side of the hill, after standing on the top of the hill, his heart was completely relaxed. As long as there is no fair duel of geographical advantages, he kills these soldiers like cutting melons.

It was just to his surprise that those Lei Zhou guards didn't seem to notice them all along, and the hillside was still quiet as usual.

"Not good!"

When Chen Jiu was still more than twenty meters away from the grass, he immediately chuckled in his heart, and his steps couldn't help but speed up. When he reached the grass, he saw several helmets with sticks on top of them, and a little golden monkey was lazily basking in the sun.

Oh......

As if disturbed by a good dream, the little golden monkey grinned, smashed his helmet in anger, and then ran towards the forest on the other side without hesitation.

The little golden monkey's movements were very vigorous, and he only jumped away from here, and the golden hair did not have half a single impurity, like a piece of pure golden satin.

Hit the trick!

Chen Jiu looked at the little golden monkey that disappeared into the forest, and a surge of anger surged in his heart, and he kicked the helmet that rolled in front of him away. It's just that the force is too strong, and the pain makes him hold his feet and jump, and the pain makes him grin.

The little golden monkey jumped through the woods, and after passing through a banana grove, a swarthy man had been waiting here for a long time. So he jumped on the big black horse and led the little golden monkey to the west.

"These people are so arrogant!"

It was only half a pillar of incense, and Lin Haoran, who was in the ranks of businessmen, got the news, and his brows condensed deeply. But he didn't expect that this group of pirates was really rampant, which greatly surprised him.

For safety reasons, he had already backed down and canceled his plans to go to the beach. It's just that it didn't work, these pirates even wanted to attack the merchant team, and they didn't take their officers and soldiers and Leizhou soldiers into account, and they wanted to completely ruin his plan to open the sea.

"We're going to kill these bunnies!" After learning the news, Tie Shoptou said angrily.

Lin Haoran also had a fire in his heart, and anyone who affected his plan to open the sea was his Lin Haoran's enemy. The plan to open the sea is not only related to whether he can return to the capital, but also whether he can condense the merchants of the entire Guangdong together.

As soon as he thought of this, he strode towards Commander Huang and Zhang Qianhu, who had been invited.

However, he said that Chen Jiu had been delayed for some time on the small hillside, which made them pull further away from Shang Jia's convoy. And they were far away from the island, and they did not prepare horses, so they could only chase on two legs.

"It's another trick!"

When Chen Jiu looked up and saw the helmet on the hillside, he snorted disapprovingly. Immediately, the men who led him continued on their way, wanting to capture a few of them alive from behind for some money before the merchants entered the city.

These are all businessmen from all over Guangdong, genuine big fat sheep, just catch a few, and it is not a problem to get thousands or even tens of thousands of taels.

Not good!

Chen Jiu rode a tall horse in the middle of the crowd, and when he reached the middle of the hillside, a dangerous aura surged into his heart.

But at this moment, several huge stones suddenly rolled down from the top of the slope, smashing the men who were walking in front and behind with blood flying all over the place, and a group of sergeants with knives shouted and rushed down, all with a look of bravery.

How so?

Chen Jiu didn't deal with Lei Zhouwei a lot, but he just looked at their momentum, and he was stunned. If it weren't for a few familiar faces, he really suspected that this was not Leizhou City, but the bit of strength that Shendian Guard had preserved.

It's just that he is extremely puzzled in his heart, how these rat-like Lei Zhouwei suddenly seem to have changed their hearts. Not only dare to ambush them, but also be so manly?

With the same idea as Chen Jiu, there were also a group of his subordinates, and they were stunned when they looked at Lei Zhouwei who rushed down.

Ping Pong ......

The two teams quickly intersected, and the knives collided. You have me, I have you, tearing each other apart, and the blood gradually stained the mountain road, forming pools of blood on the rugged road.

Burst!

Chen Jiu slashed down the sergeant who rushed in front of him, blood splattered on his body, and his eyes flashed with a touch of anger. It was just that as soon as the guard was dealt with, another sharp blade slashed at him, and these sergeants seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit.

What's going on?

Chen Jiu is a person who has experienced a battle in the sea of blood, and he is no longer afraid of this kind of life and death, but he finds that this group of Lei Zhouwei, who has always been weak, has become fearless of death, and his heart can't help but be furious.

The reason why he dared to be so rampant was that he decided that Lei Zhouwei was actually a bunch of soft eggs, and he didn't dare to do anything to him. It's just that the momentum shown by Lei Zhouwei now makes him have to re-evaluate, which is what his small pirate group can compete with?

If the sergeants of Leizhou Wei were all of this kind of combat power, I am afraid he would not dare to go ashore again.

You must know that the establishment of Leizhou Wei is five or six thousand people. Although Leizhou Wei, like other guards in Daming, has a serious shortage of personnel, it is still possible to organize thousands of combat forces.

Now his pirate group is only a few dozen people, how can he really fight with Leizhou Wei. But he didn't understand how these soft eggs all seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and the blades were always slashing at him.

"Kill! Kill one person and reward four taels, Wutian Qi and other four people will be rewarded with one hundred taels, and those who kill Chen Jiu will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver! Zhang Qianhu watched his momentum weaken, so he held up the steel knife and shouted loudly.

A thousand taels of silver!

These five words, echoing on this hillside, reached the ears of every sergeant who fought bloodily.

The sergeants of the Ming Dynasty were far less glorious than many people imagined, they were farmers on weekdays, they were simply the private farmers of the officers of the guards, their income was extremely meager, and there were not a few people who died of starvation.

Now when I heard this thousand taels of silver, and it was a promise from the prefect, my eyes were also red. They looked at the people around them, no longer fierce pirates, but snowflakes of silver.

In essence, their sergeants were far less powerful than they had been before. The reason why he seems weak is that he doesn't want to die for those officers who fish and flesh them, so he chooses the fighting method of protecting himself.

As Zhang Qianhu shouted, those Lei Zhouwei who had the intention of retreating rushed up again with weapons and followed these pirates to tear them apart. Blood splattered with each knife fall, and their mouths seemed to be counting, their eyes shining with bloodthirsty light.

Burst! Burst!

Chen Jiu's gang was originally not superior in numbers, but at this time they were already at a disadvantage, facing this group of Lei Zhouwei and the reinforcements that were very likely to come, they also felt a chill, this seemed to be an unwinnable battle.

"Not good!"

Zhang Qianhu looked up and saw Chen Jiu cutting down a sergeant, and then slapped his horse away, and suddenly felt anxious.

If it was usual, he would naturally turn a blind eye, but it was a thousand taels of silver, and his eyes immediately turned red, but he didn't want the cooked duck to fly away like this.

Pursue!

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Qianhu led several personal soldiers to chase after him on horseback, and it was bound to be Chen Jiu's head. And the battlefield around him was also coming to an end, and they had achieved a hearty victory.

At the time of the bloody slaughter here, the merchant horse team had already slowly entered Leizhou City after nearly half a pillar of incense.

Lin Haoran was dressed as a five-grade official, riding on a tall white horse, his eyes seemed very calm, and his heart was not shocked, and even a coldness swelled up.

Originally, he wanted to live peacefully with these pirates for a while, after all, he had too many things to push on his hands, and he didn't have the energy to deal with the pirate gangs living on Donghai Island and Jinzhou Island.

It's just that the arrogance of these pirates has greatly exceeded his imagination, and they don't even give him the prefect any face, and want to attack the merchant team he invited.

This is the case with this small group of pirates, and the pirate gang entrenched on Jinzhou Island may regard Leizhou Mansion as a territory that they can plunder at will. If he doesn't make some counterattacks and defeat their arrogance, I'm afraid I think I can pee on his head.

Fortunately, Hu Niu captured the pirate Jia San yesterday, so that he could prepare in advance, not only invited Commander Huang to come, but also let Leizhou Wei accompany him in the name of the escort merchant Jia group.

Soon after the merchant convoy entered the city, it stopped at a workshop on East Street in the town.

Although the uninformed businessman was a little sorry to toss back and forth in vain, he didn't dare to let go of a fart in front of Lin Haoran, an upstart in the officialdom.

"Everyone, please!"

Lin Haoran made a gesture of please, and after humbling it, he led everyone into the workshop, and the sound of weaving cloth and some busy women came from inside.

"Is this a weaving mill?"

"Why don't you put the weaving mill in Dianbaicheng?"

"That's it! If you do this, the shipping cost will be a lot more! ”

……

The merchants followed Lin Haoran in, looked at the busy weavers, and then looked at Lin Haoran with great confusion. I don't understand why Lin Haoran set up such a large-scale textile workshop here, instead of setting it up in Dianbai City, which made them immediately confused.

Lin Haoran met everyone's puzzled eyes, and threw out the bombshell he was planning and said: "I will build a wharf in the east of the city to set up a port, and plan to build Leizhou Mansion into a textile center!" ”

Lose your marbles!

Hearing these words, this thought immediately flashed through everyone's minds, and some people looked at this prefect from the top of the list with pity. This is simply burning out the brain, this Leizhou Mansion has no textile foundation at all, and even wants to become a textile center, this is simply a fool's dream!
