After Zhang Dou went ashore, he quickly gathered his team, and they quickly rushed towards Zhou Dunji's camp under the cover of night.
The night gave them perfect cover, and they were not discovered when they reached the periphery of Zhou Dunji's camp.
Zhou Dunji's camp was very simple, he didn't even have a wall to reject horses, but only a fence with a man-high log. Not to mention a master of touching the camp like Zhang Dou, even an ordinary person can easily turn over.
Zhou Dunji's purpose is to force the maritime merchants to bow their heads, and his biggest hole card is not force. Rather, it was a powerful Jurchen, as long as he reported to the upper authorities that there were merchants of the Ming Dynasty hidden here. It is believed that the greedy Jurchens will definitely bring people to the island and rob the place.
The reason why this trip went smoothly was that he still had a hole card, and it was with this hole card that he could play with the maritime merchants in the palm of his hand. He knows every move of the maritime merchants, but the maritime merchants do not know his hole cards. That's why he dared to set up a simple camp so reassuringly.
His carelessness gave Zhang Dou a chance, only to see a black shadow turn into the camp. Quickly disappeared into the camp, and from time to time a muffled snort came from the camp! Then a dark shadow flashed from there and disappeared into the camp again.
Zhang Dou led people directly to the big tent of the Chinese army, and he entered the big tent with a mace. When he lifted the curtain, there was a crisp sound of brass bells from within.
Zhang Dou's heart tightened, it was broken! was calculated by the small organ made by Zhou Dunji, how could he, the king of soldiers in later generations, make such a mistake. At that moment, he was no longer light-footed, and rushed inside in great strides.
He saw that there was no one in the tent, and when he ran to the tent to take a look, he saw a huge hole in the tent. The quilt on the bed was lifted, and there was a pair of boots under the bed that had not been worn.
Zhang Dou ran to the couch and stretched out his hand to mold the quilt, the temperature of the quilt showed that Zhou Dunji had just fled in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to put on his boots. There was also a pair of armor and weapons on one side of the bed, which showed how hurried Zhou Dunji was when he fled.
Zhang Dou picked up the mace and chased it outside, and the camp was already in chaos. There were flames everywhere, and there were screams of Han military flags with money rattails.
And the people led by Zhang Dou didn't speak, they just silently rushed up and slashed over. When encountering a place of fierce resistance, the soldier with a firearm is greeted with a row of buckshot bullets, directly killing those who dare to resist. Their efficiency was so high, and their speed was so fast that the jaws of the people of the Han Army Banner fell to the ground.
These Han army banner people used to be Ming troops who surrendered in various places, and they had also seen a lot of battle formations. But it is the first time for them to kill people silently like today, and they are so depressed in their hearts! Each of those guys wore masks, didn't say a word, and met with a knife. Even those who want to surrender are not spared, they are really afraid.
When the first person turned around and fled, the entire Han Army Banner completely collapsed. They desperately want to escape from this hellish place, and they don't face people at all. They slashed each other, the other party didn't say a word, and silently slashed back, it's too scary! Don't these masked people know that it hurts?
By daylight, the battle in the camp was over. Zhang Dou walked in the camp depressed, he searched the entire camp and found no shadow of Zhou Dunji. This thing disappeared into the camp like the world evaporated, making Zhang Dou extremely depressed.
Looking at the more than 200 Han military flags that were captured, Zhang Dou was irritable. Especially when he saw the money rat tail on their heads, Zhang Dou couldn't wait to go up and kick them a few times.
If it weren't for the labor needed to build the fortifications, Zhang Dou would have ordered the killing of this group of scum.
At this time, Qin Shi also hurriedly ran over, "Big brother! We killed more than 300 fake slaves and captured more than 200 prisoners in this battle. What are we going to do with these captives? ”
"What about our casualties?" Zhang Dou asked.
"Six brothers were broken, and a dozen were wounded! Not a big loss! Qin Shi said.
"Hey!" Zhang Dou sighed, if you fight, you have to die. Despite their sneak attack, six people were killed. These people are the cornerstone of his future army, and everyone is a valuable asset, and they can't be compromised like this.
Just as they were cleaning up the battlefield, someone came to report. A few businessmen came from outside the door, saying that they had important matters to discuss.
Zhang Dou's heart moved, and his heart said: It's coming! The merchants really didn't see the rabbits and didn't scatter the eagles, and they ran over to hug their thighs when they knew they had won a big victory. Hey! If you don't let you have some blood, Lao Tzu won't be called Zhang Dou.
When Zheng Yiguan and his entourage entered the original Zhou Dunji's barracks, their hearts trembled, and they saw soldiers gathering corpses everywhere. The soldiers, wearing strange wooden masks, pushed carts to the corpses. Swing the knife to cut off the head, then throw the headless corpse on the cart, and then throw the head into the bamboo basket on the cart, and continue to the next target.
None of the soldiers spoke, and the only sound in the entire barracks was the constant sound of heads chopping. The sound was particularly eerie in the silence of the barracks, and the listeners were creepy.
Looking at the skillful movements of those soldiers, the necks of these people were swishing in a cool breeze. This group of soldiers often cut off the enemy's head at a glance, otherwise it would not be so skilled, how many people do you have to kill to practice?
They unconsciously quickened their pace, and under the leadership of a soldier, they hurried to the big tent of the Chinese army. During this period, Zheng Yiguan didn't want to talk nonsense, he handed the soldier who led the way a piece of silver and asked, "Where is my brother?" How did you end up in Liaodong! ”
The soldier didn't take his money at all, but a look of contempt leaked from the soldier's eyes.
Of course, these soldiers are qualified to look down on Zheng Yiguan, they are the strongest Ming army, the Ming army that killed and injured several times their own in the battle of Hunhe, they are the Ming army that fought back against Dajin's big Belle Daishan out of the Qianshan Mountain Range, and a mere maritime merchant really didn't take it in their eyes.
Zheng Yiguan was bored with himself, and awkwardly followed the soldier to the Chinese army's big tent. As soon as he entered the big account, he saw a big man sitting on the main seat, and even sitting there could see that this person was burly.
He hurriedly bowed down and saluted, and said, "Fujian maritime merchant Zheng Yiguan pays a visit to the general!" The others who followed him also saluted.
Zhang Dou heard that it was Zheng Yiguan, and his heart moved, how did this famous thigh king in history come here?
That's right! At this time, Zheng Yiguan was not as beautiful as a few years later, and he should still be working under Li Dan now. And Li Dan has been operating the route of the Wa Kingdom ~ North Korea ~ Daming ~ Manila, and it is really not surprising that Zheng Yiguan appears here.
Now that he's here, can I get something good out of him?
Thinking of this, Zhang Dou said: "You don't have to be polite, Zhang is just a rough man." I couldn't get used to the atrocities of Jiannu, so I took my brothers to find a place to stay. In the future, Changsheng Island will have to follow the rules of my Zhang, if there is any offense, I hope you will forgive me! Zhang Dou said domineeringly.
Listening to Zhang Dou's words, these people couldn't help muttering in their hearts. Although Zhang Dou was wearing a mask, he knew by listening to the voice that Zhang Dou was not very old. And Zhang Dou just said that he wanted to find a place to stay, that is, he fell in love with Changsheng Island and did not plan to leave. He also said that if there is something to offend in the future, forgive me, and deceive the ghost! You have to think about how good it is to be straightforward.
The most worried in my heart is the rich man Sun, he has a ghost in his heart! And if Zhang Dou doesn't leave, he will be the one who will be affected the most. After all, his property was on the island, and those fields and houses could not be taken away, so when he heard Zhang Dou's words, he was so anxious that his head was sweating.
Zheng Yiguan said: "Since General Zhang occupies this island, I don't know what the rules are for doing business here in the future?" ”
"My Zhang's rule is that in the future, I only need to pay two percent of the profits to do business on Changsheng Island." Zhang Dou said.
"What if Jiannu lands on the island?" Rich Sun asked.
"Jiannu will naturally hand it over to me to deal with Zhang, you don't have to worry about this." After Zhang Dou finished speaking, these businessmen pouted for a while, Jiannu is so powerful, he beat away the army of the Ming Dynasty, what can you do with a few hundred people?
After some calculation, those businessmen knew that although the profit of 20% was more, it was much better than Zhou Dunji's 50%.
Zheng Yiguan hesitated and said: "The general's two percent profit is already very small, and if it encounters wind and waves, it is possible to lose all its money, see if you can have less!" ”
"Oh? It's not impossible to think less! As long as you become a friend of my Zhang, it is not impossible to pay only one percent. Zhang Dou said.
"How can I become General Zhang's friend?" Zheng Yiguan asked the answer that these businessmen wanted to know the most.
