It turned out that there were 2,000 Song troops with Meng Lanjun, led by Ling Xiang and Huang Mingxia, and followed Meng Jiming from the secret waterway to Zanglong Island. As soon as the Song army, which had already kicked the shore, saw Ling Xiang make a move, they also drew their own blades to kill the pirates on the shore.

Most of the pirates died before they understood the taste. Seeing that the situation was not good, the organic spirit immediately fled. The Song army quickly occupied the shore, and the brigade went ashore one after another, Meng Lanjun, Ling Xiang, Huang Mingxia and others immediately reorganized the Song army, and then divided the troops into three ways and killed them in the center of Zanglong Island.

Because at this time, all the middle-aged men on Zanglong Island were concentrated in front to resist the Song army, and those who stayed in the rear were the old, weak, women and children, and there was no way to stop the attack of the Song army, and after a while, the Song army attacked under the Hidden Dragon City, fortunately, someone came back to report in advance, and the soldiers guarding the city closed the city gate and resisted at the head of the city, and the Song army did not have a ladder to attack the city, and there was no siege, so they had to set fire to the city, and the fire spread and became bigger and bigger.

The fire on the sea had not yet been extinguished, but more and more Song warships forcibly broke away from the sea and approached the shore. The Song army continued to attack the shore, and the number of people increased, and Meng Heng saw that he could not hold the position on the shore, so he had to give an order to abandon the shore and retreat to the second line of defense.

At this moment, a small leader ran to Meng Heng's side out of breath and said, "Old... The old man is in charge, and the big thing is ...... The big thing is not good, Meng Lanjun attracted the Song army and killed the Hidden Dragon Island from behind, the second young master... The second young master also died at the hands of Song Jun. ”

When Meng Heng heard this, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and he had passed out.

The news that the Song army had invaded Zanglong Island from behind suddenly spread, and the pirates were suddenly in turmoil, and they no longer had the intention of fighting. The Song army took advantage of the situation and attacked the coastal embankment, some of the pirates fled back to Hidden Dragon City, and the other part was surrounded by the Song army and became prisoners.

The fire on the sea fire gradually extinguished, and Yang Yan and Li Gongzuo also took a small boat to pedal onto Hidden Dragon Island, and at this time, in the afterglow of the setting sun, the tide began to slowly recede.

Meng Heng slowly opened his eyes, only listening to Shen Yunniang's joyful voice: "Old man, you have finally woken up." ”

Meng Heng gradually regained consciousness, and then heard the sound of killing outside. Meng Heng turned over and sat up, looking out the window, the sky was dark, but the fire was soaring, Meng Heng knew that the general trend was gone, and said with a wry smile: "This time the Yijing is completely finished, what's the use of waking up, is it so that Song Jun can capture me alive." ”

Shen Yunniang smiled slightly and said, "At least I can see the old man again." As he spoke, he pointed to the sprinkler on the table and said softly: "I have prepared the scriptures, we can use them at any time, and we will never be captured alive by the Song army." ”

Meng Heng looked at the wine, couldn't help laughing, and said, "I don't need this." So saying, he stood up, grabbed his saber, and walked out.

Shen Yunniang was stunned for a moment, and said in a trembling voice: "Old man, you have to go there." ”

Meng Heng laughed, turned his head, and said: "Naturally, I am going to fight to the death with the Song army, since I am awake, I, Meng Heng, will die like a decent, and I must not die." ”

Shen Yunniang pounced suddenly, hugged Meng Heng from behind, and cried bitterly. Meng Heng sighed, didn't look back, and said, "But it's better to wake up, at least I can see you again one last time, and I don't have any worries." ”

Shen Yunniang stopped crying, let go of Meng Heng, and said, "Old man, you go." Meng Heng's whole body trembled, and finally he didn't look back and strode out.

Shen Yunniang went to the table, poured a glass of wine from the pot, and said to Meng Heng's back, "Old man, I'll go first and wait for you over there." As he spoke, he drank all the wine from his glass.

Although the pirates have not been completely pacified, but with the Song army's successive victories in the process of conquest and suppression, the courage of the merchants of Guangzhou has gradually increased, even if there is no escort of the Song army's fleet, they dare to go to sea, and there is no need to pay tribute to the pirates, so the price of goods is also one to two percent lower than the original, so that the market in Guangzhou has almost returned to the prosperity and liveliness of the past.

Zhong Zhenxian and Chen Ziming were the last to arrive in Guangzhou, after they arrived in Guangzhou, although they found the secret mark left by Zhong Xinyu, they were not in a hurry to meet Zhong Xinyu, the two first found a hotel, asked for a single room, and discussed together.

Zhong Zhenxian said, "Master, it seems that the road of uniting pirates will not work. He is now the left envoy of the light of Manichaeism, and his position in the religion is already above Chen Ziming, but he still obeys Chen Ziming's words.

Chen Ziming smiled and said, "Actually, I expected it from the beginning, and the pirates were far from Yang Yan's opponents, so I didn't think that I would unite with them at all. ”

Zhong Zhenxian was stunned for a moment and said, "Master, since this is the case, then why did you make such a suggestion?" ”

Chen Ziming said: "I'm just looking for a reason to come back to the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Zhong Zhenxian didn't understand it even more, and said, "Why do we have to go back to the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Chen Ziming snorted and said, "Zhenxian, do you want to be subservient to Zhong Xinyu for the rest of your life, or do you want to seize the position of the sect leader." ”

Zhong Zhenxian's eyes flashed, and he said fiercely: "Of course, I want to seize the position of the sect leader, what virtue does Zhong Xinyu have, and if I occupy the position of the sect leader, I can only be controlled by her." ”

Chen Ziming nodded and said: "If you want to seize the throne, you must first win the support of the majority, if you are still in Mayi, most people will support Zhong Xinyu, everything is under her control, how can there be a chance, so only when you return to the Great Song Dynasty can you find an opportunity." ”

Zhong Zhenxian said: "Why can only in the Great Song Dynasty find the opportunity to seize the position of the sect leader?" Will they support me in the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Chen Ziming said: "Think about it, a few of the brothers in the church are willing to stay in Mayi and suffer, most of their relatives and friends are in the Great Song Dynasty, and a few are unwilling to return to the Great Song Dynasty. Therefore, as long as we insist on staying in the Great Song Dynasty and do not return to Mayi, there will definitely be brothers who will support us. Then we went to take out a few treasures that had been buried, and re-contacted the old brothers, after we have money and people, everything will be easy to do, even if we can't win the throne, we can take the money and go away, or set up another door, how is it better than staying in the bitter place of Mayi. ”

Zhong Zhenxian nodded, in order to find a position, they had also saved a lot of money in private, and they were all buried in batches. Moreover, there are a lot of people in the sect, and the money is definitely still there now, and there must be some people who have slipped through the net before, and recruiting them all can indeed increase the dog's own strength. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "But now among the most powerful apologists in the sect, Xiao Tinglanken will support Zhong Xinyu with all his heart, and King Ming doesn't seem to fall to our side, so if we calculate it, our chances of winning are not great." ”

Chen Ziming said: "So Qinglong and a few of them are the people we want to focus on, and only by winning them over can we have a chance of winning." And don't forget, there is also the right envoy lurking in Lin'an, he is the most powerful person now, as long as we can win him over, the plan to seize the throne will definitely be successful. ”

Zhong Zhenxian said: "It's not that I haven't thought about the right envoy, but with his current power and status, will he still be loyal to our Holy Sect?" ”

Chen Ziming snorted and said: "No matter how great the power and status are, what can he do, he still dares to apostatize, as long as we poke out his true identity, everything will come to naught, and we can also take advantage of this." ”

Zhong Zhenxian's face finally showed a smile and said, "Good idea." ”

As he was talking, suddenly there was a commotion in the street, and the sound of firecrackers sounded. The two looked out of the window and saw people pouring out of the street, moving in the direction of the Guangzhou wharf.

Chen Ziming asked the shop guy and found out that it was the Song army that exterminated Hidden Dragon Island and returned to the division victoriously.

It turned out that after the Song army attacked Zanglong Island, it was like a bamboo, and it attacked Zanglong Island that night, and joined Meng Lanjun, Ling Xiang, Huang Mingxia and others. Seeing that the tide was turning, the pirates surrendered one after another. At the end of the day, the Song army basically controlled Zanglong Island.

Yang Yan immediately ordered people to clean up the battlefield, clean up the dead bodies, extinguish the flames, and seal the warehouse. And it is not allowed to harass the inhabitants of the island, and except for stubborn execution, as long as the pirates who surrender can be spared death. found Meng Heng's body in the chaos of the army, and found Shen Yunniang who committed suicide by poisoning in Meng Heng's bedroom, Yang Yan ordered the two of them, plus Meng Jiming's body, to be buried and transported back to Guangzhou for public display.

Then Yang Yan went to the treasury of Hidden Dragon Island to check, only to find that the granary was full of grain, copper, iron, silver, and gold in the money sinks were piled up, and there were countless curios and silk in other warehouses. If you don't have a husband for half a month, I'm afraid you can't find it out. You must know that Meng Heng was originally a wealthy businessman, and he has been a thief for the longest time, has the most power, and has obtained the most money, and his family background far exceeds that of Xu Hai and Meng Lanjun.

Naturally, all these belongings had to be transported away, and even the residents of the island had to be sent back to the Great Song Dynasty to make other arrangements for settlement. But it's a big job, and it's not going to be done in a few months. It can only be done in batches and phases. On the second day, Yang Yan issued an order to first escort away all the captured pirates, and take away some of the property, and the residents stayed for the time being, leaving 5,000 Song troops and 50 ships stationed on Zanglong Island, waiting for the arrival of the next fleet.

After returning to Guangzhou, he was naturally warmly welcomed by the people, and the plague of piracy that had plagued Guangnan for more than ten years was finally completely eliminated, and from then on, the merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty could sail freely on the sea, and there was no need to pay tribute to the pirates, which must be an inspiring thing. Under the organization of Xie Yuanqing and other Guangzhou businessmen, countless people in Guangzhou welcomed the victorious return of the Song army in the middle of the road, wanting to see the demeanor of General Xiao Yang.

After Yang Yan and his entourage got off the boat, they could only walk slowly in the crowd, and waved to the people stupidly from time to time, but it took more than an hour to return to the envoy office.

After returning to the envoy office, everyone had not yet sat down, only to see Yue Lin hurriedly running over, and said: "My lord, the big thing is not good, the lower official has just received a letter from the imperial court, and the Jin people's fleet is attacking from the sea, and now they are going all the way south and going straight to Lin'an." The imperial court urgently recruited the whole army to return to Lin'an to resist the Jin army. ”
