The Leizhou bloody case seems to have relapsed into a stalemate, while the situation in Guangdong has deteriorated.

Since the invasion of Chaozhou by more than 6,000 Japanese pirates on the 27th of last month, the coast of Chaozhou has not been at peace, and even the waters of Huizhou have been affected. Unlike the previous ones, this time it has the meaning of camping, but many of them are directly entrenched on the nearby islands.

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the maritime ban policy was implemented, and the imperial court ordered the islanders to move inward. On many islands, not to mention the government, there are not even ordinary people, just some illegal fishermen.

Now these many islands are occupied by these Japanese bandits, who are constantly looting coastal villages or attacking coastal counties by taking advantage of these dens and bases.

In particular, Nanao Island, the largest island in Chaozhou, has become a paradise for Japanese pirates.

Following the East Sea Island of Leizhou Mansion in the past, there are already several powerful pirate groups, among which the pirate "coffin" is the strongest.

It was under the leadership of the great pirate coffin that the situation of the Japanese in Chaozhou opened a new chapter.

The problem in suppressing the Japanese has always been that the Japanese have "come and gone without a trace," and many officers and men are just exhausted for their lives. By the time the officers and soldiers arrived, the would-be robbers had often already looted their money and left.

It's just that when the strength of the Japanese invaders reaches a certain level, they will choose to stand on the ground as the base, dare to openly confront the officers and soldiers of the imperial court, and face the officers and soldiers head-on.

Nowadays, the widows led by the coffin are entrenched in Nanao Island, undoubtedly contempt for Chaozhou Wei.

In the face of such rampant pirates, although Chaozhou Wei tried to go to the island to kill thieves, he was a dust that touched his nose. Not to mention exterminating these gangsters, they don't even have the strength to drive them away from Nanao Island.

I have to say that the weakness of the Ming Guard was once again reflected. It's not their physical fitness, it's that these soldiers are all willing to sacrifice their lives and are unwilling to sacrifice their lives for the promotion of senior officers above.

Of course, there is an important factor here. As Zhang Lian's strength of the rebel party further expanded, Chaozhou Wei had fought several battles with them, and he had already lost his troops.

Wang Fang, the governor of Liangguang, went to Chaozhou in person and was fully responsible for the suppression of bandits.

It's just that in the face of the defeated Chaozhou Guard, they did not blindly organize personnel to land on Nanao Island again to exterminate the Japanese invaders, but focused on letting the soldiers and horses from all sides defend and strengthen the defense forces of each city.

But it's not that he wants to be greedy for life and afraid of death, but he understands it very deeply, not to mention that the guards here are seriously lacking, and he wants to rely on these oil soldiers to suppress the widows, which is equivalent to sending them to death.

Even Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, although he used a large amount of military funds to strengthen his strength, the moves he used were still pretending to recruit peace, and he did not really rely on the Ming Guards to forcefully suppress the Japanese.

Now facing more than 6,000 Japanese robbers, the strength of Chaozhou Wei is simply not enough, and a strong reinforcement army must appear. Guangxi wolf soldiers are undoubtedly the best choice, otherwise the brave and good fighting Leizhou Wei can also.

But I don't know if Lin Haoran is lucky, or if the people of Leizhou do have a belligerent factor. In just over a year, the pirates in the entire western Guangdong Sea were wiped out, so that even the pirates no longer dared to run there.

In the face of this Leizhou Wei with outstanding records, Wang Fang was inevitably tempted, and hoped that Leizhou Wei could send a team of people to help him. Of course, if you want to get the help of Lei Zhouwei, you can't bypass Lin Haoran.

Unconsciously, the former little prefect of Leizhou has taken root in Guangdong.

More than 6,000 Japanese robbers gathered here, which undoubtedly brought a catastrophe to the Chaozhou area.

On this day, a gang of pirates and pirates ransacked Yinhu Village in Haiyang County, and immediately staged another burning, killing and looting.

Most of the houses in the village were set on fire and smoke billowed from them, and bursts of laughter continued to come from the mouths of the thieves, along with the cries of women and children.

When a widow saw a woman who was quite attractive, he immediately wanted to drag her away.

The woman's surname was Lu, and she was already married to another woman, but she refused to follow. The widow was a fake widow, and immediately drew a knife and threatened, and Lu pretended to give in and fled while he was unprepared, but he was caught up and slashed his waist with a knife, causing Lu to die on the spot.

There are many women who have similar experiences to the Lu family, and although some women have successfully escaped, many more have been brutally murdered. They have no sympathy for them, and see them as mere tools to vent and kill any woman who wants to escape.

In the blink of an eye, this once harmonious village turned into a living hell, and then it would be reduced to ruins.

There was an inspection department near Yinhu Village, and an inspector came with the news of the yacha. I wanted to save the villagers here, but I never thought that this gang of would-be robbers was far stronger than them, and they fell into a predicament on the spot.

"You guys get out of here!"

This inspector was quite heroic, and in the face of the pursuit of hundreds of pirates, he took the initiative to break off for his subordinates. A man stood alone on the wooden bridge, stopping the group of pirates from moving forward.

"Huh...... A bloody man, Lao Tzu likes it! I got it! ”

But at this moment, a tall man came out of the widows, holding a long knife that was shining.

This man has a full beard and looks very strong, but he cleans himself up, and it is the coffin hair of the leader of the Hades Gang.

This coffin hair is naturally not a real name, but a nickname. The "Da Ming Law" promulgated in the 30th year of Hongwu clearly stipulates that anyone who carries iron goods, copper coins, satin, silk cotton and other contraband to the sea without permission, and has to deal with foreign traders will be punished, and it is forbidden for private individuals to manufacture large ships with more than two masts to go to sea. The "rebellion and rebellion" of collusion with foreign clans is even more severe: all "rebellion and rebellion" will be executed by Ling Chi, and the grandfathers, fathers, sons, grandchildren, uncles, brothers, nephews, and cousins of the clan, and the grandfathers, fathers-in-law, sons-in-law, sons-in-law, and domestic servants of the relatives with different surnames who live together will be beheaded all over the age of 16.

In order not to be condemned, pirates and smugglers must do everything possible to disguise their origins. Therefore, among the pirates and thieves of the Ming Dynasty, nicknames were often used to disguise their real names.

The coffin's real surname is Zhou, named Dafa, and he was originally a mine owner in Jiming Mountain. However, when the local government saw that the mining was lucrative, they began to impose mining taxes on their mine owners, and what made him even more angry was that his mine was later seized by the government.

When the coffin was angry, he followed the other mine owners and pulled up an anti-flag to seek a new way of life.

In the beginning, he led a group of miners in order to survive, but chose to attack the ancestral graves of those rich families, thus earning him the nickname "coffin hair".

It's just that he always feels that the world is not chaotic now, and if he chooses to occupy land as the king, sooner or later he will be exterminated by the government. After amassing enough capital, he chose to go to sea, looting passing ships and coastal residents.

After several years of development, the strength of the Coffin Gang has continued to increase, and now it has reached 2,000 people, becoming a strong pirate group, and now it is the leader of the Guangdong pirate group.

"Kill!"

This inspector is indeed a man, but he took the initiative to rush towards the coffin.

Burst!

The coffin has been powerful since childhood, and the long knife was swung towards the waist of this hundred households, and the sound of a blade entering the flesh came out, and blood was immediately splashed on the ground.

Bang!

This inspector was already exhausted, but now his waist was cut, and the intestines inside flowed out, causing him to lose all his longevity, and the whole person fell to the ground heavily.

"Good!"

When the onlookers saw this, they immediately applauded, and looked at their helper with admiration.

Ha ha......

Coffin Fa was already a pirate leader who killed people without blinking, and after cutting this inspector in half, the whole person was also full of spirits, and he felt that he was not much more reckless than that Guan Yunchang.

"Kill!"

Another gang of pirates came from the side of the bridge and attacked the fleeing officers and soldiers head-on, resulting in more than half of the officers and men killed and wounded, and only a small part of them were able to successfully escape from the path.

After the coffin saw the person clearly, he said happily: "Xu Chaoguang, didn't you say that you want to take Haiyang County?" Why did you run here now, what kind of ability would it be to bully these shrimp soldiers and crabs? ”

The person who came was the pirate leader Xu Chaoguang, who had made a comeback after the defeat in Leizhou. Faced with the ridicule of the coffin, he was not annoyed, but said seriously: "Coffin hair, Haiyang County is too small, and there is no oil and water at all." I'm working with Ogawa Shiro, and with Wang Fang here to consume, it's better to bypass Huizhou and go directly to Guangzhou Mansion to do a big vote! ”

Coffin's heart immediately moved, and he asked tentatively, "That Ogawa Shiro really agrees?" ”

Although he looked down on Xu Chaoguang, he had to admit that this person had a good mouth. The previous Saburo Nakajima was planted in Leizhou, and in the blink of an eye, he found a strong partner.

"Not bad! I'm here now to represent what he meant, do you dare to do this big ticket with us? Xu Chaoguang nodded slightly, and then asked slightly defiantly.

The coffin knew that there was Wang Fang, the governor of Liangguang, who was in charge here, and the coastal villages had been swept by them again. Unless it is to capture a county seat, or go deeper into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, there will be no oil and water at all.

After thinking for a while, he said viciously: "This starvation is cowardly, support the bold, let's go into Guangzhou City together!" ”

"Huh? Guangzhou City? This? Xu Chaoguang was complacent about the success of the radical method, but he didn't expect such a result. This coffin really dares to think that he dares to fight the idea of Guangzhou City, how bold is this?

The coffin turned against the guest and asked provocatively, "What?" Xu Chaoguang, you are really a soft egg, are you so scared to pee your pants when you hear Guangzhou City? ”

"I'll have to discuss this with Shiro Ogawa!" Xu Chaoguang smiled bitterly, but said helplessly.

The coffin snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "Come less!" As long as you really have the guts, can't you fool him? Besides, the Japanese people are all brainless, you say that Guangzhou City is a mountain of gold and silver, I don't believe he will not be tempted! In a word, if you dare to do it, if you don't dare, go back, don't bother Lao Tzu again! ”

"Okay, I'm done!" Xu Chao'er thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and agreed.

The battlefield has always been unpredictable.

Just when Wang Fang was still deploying troops to strengthen the defense, there was a new movement on Nanao Island. On a full moon night, a fleet marched mightily to the west, aiming at Canton Prefecture, the richest province in the Liangguang region.

Guangzhou Mansion, in the signing room.

Lin Haoran sat at his desk, but he didn't bother with the Japanese in Guangdong.

After all, he was neither the governor of Liangguang nor the deputy envoy of Guangdong, but just an ordinary prefect of Guangzhou, and the situation of the Japanese had little to do with him.

At this moment, his mind is on official business, and he is still worried about the Leizhou bloody case.

After listing Yan Kuan as the No. 1 suspect, he used the power of the government to strengthen the investigation of Yan Kuan. In addition to investigating his motives, there is also the investigation of whether his alibi evidence is credible.

It's just that from the investigation report just got, starting from the Chengyue Station in the north of Leizhou City on the tenth day of the first month, Yan Kuan has a very clear check-in time at the post station along the way, and the personnel of each post station have confirmed this one by one.

If it is reasonable to buy a post station, but if all the post stations along the way are bought, it seems a little impossible. The special Chengyue Station was the place where he used to rule, and it also had his eyeliner, but it confirmed that Yan Kuan did live in it that day.

If this is true, there is no doubt that Yan Kuan's suspicion can be completely cleared, and the object of his investigation is completely wrong.

"Is it a coincidence that Scar is here? Is Yan Kuan wronged? ”

Lin Haoran looked at this timetable for checking in to the station, and frowned deeply. The room gradually became dark, and it turned out that the lamp was burning to the bottom, but it was while thinking about things and picking up the lamp.

"Brother!"

Very suddenly, a voice suddenly sounded. But it was the tiger girl who came back from running outside to play, she seemed to be holding something in her hand, and she wanted to surprise Lin Haoran, but she was only surprised but not happy.

Lin Haoran was not frightened, especially when he was thinking about things. As a result, the oil lamp on the table toppled over, the lamp oil spilled on the paper, and the flames spread rapidly.

Hu Niu complained while fighting the fire: "Oh, brother, how could you be so careless!" ”

When Lin Haoran heard this, he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood and extinguished the fire.

The two siblings worked together, but they didn't need the help of the housekeeper who came in with the bucket, and the fire had already been extinguished.

Hey?

Lin Haoran picked up a faintly visible post station name from the confetti beyond recognition, but it was the post station where he once stayed.

"Brother, what's wrong? Did you find something? The tiger girl opened her big bright and clear eyes, looked up and said crisply, and then complained slightly: "Hey...... Actually, I told you last time, you shouldn't let that big bad guy go, I said he wasn't a good person, but you didn't believe me at that time. ”
