Chapter 419: The Storm is Coming

The fortune ship hit the merchant ship with limited mobility, and the two sides became entangled, and the ships on both sides could not move. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info a springboard between the sides of the two ships, Liu Xiang's sailors on the boat with a steel knife in their mouths, hands and feet quickly stepped on the gangplanks and ran to the opposite side. Naturally, the sailors of the Zheng family would not sit idly by, some tried to overturn the gangplank, and some waited for work, slashing the enemy who tried to get on board.

Some sailors tumbled into the water with the gangplank before they could board their opponents' boats; Others were struck at the side of their opponents' boats and fell into the water. But the difference in numbers between the two sides was too great, Liu Xiang's men and horses gradually gained the upper hand in numbers, as the first batch of people jumped onto the merchant ship, more and more people poured onto the merchant ship, the sound of the blades of "ping pong" intersecting was endless, from time to time someone screamed and fell, as more and more people were injured or killed, blood flowed down the deck through the gap in the side of the ship into the sea.

Wang Qinian stared at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, bloody and barbaric, a scene he had never seen before. Liang Dong instructed him: "Mr. Wang, I told them that you can write and calculate, so you don't have to go up and work hard, you can help make an account room and count the money and goods after the battle." After speaking, he jumped onto the springboard with a knife in his hand.

Looking at Liang Dong's back farther and farther away, a feeling of loneliness and helplessness in Wang Qinian's heart surged into his heart. In this pirate den, Liang Dong, who has known him for a short time, is his only support, although this kind of support cannot be trusted 100%. Now even Liang Dong is not around, surrounded by murderous pirates, the only thing Wang Qinian can do is to wrap his clothes tightly and shrink into a dark corner where the light can't be found, as for whether to avoid the cold sea breeze in early spring, or to guard against pirates on the ship, he himself can't tell.

The shouting and killing continued for more than an hour, the sky was already bright, and the sun shone into the corner where Wang Qinian was hiding, he felt that he had nothing to hide, and he twisted his body very uneasily.

At some point, the shouting gradually stopped. Wang Qinian squatted for too long, his body was sore, he changed his sitting position, trying to make himself sit more comfortably.

Liang Dong's face suddenly appeared in front of him, bluffing Wang Qinian. This face was covered in blood, and I don't know if it was someone else's or his own.

"Mr. Wang, why are you nesting here. Hurry up and come with me, help the shopkeeper count the silver and goods, finish it early and withdraw early, and wait until the people on Kinmen Island find out. ”

Wang Qinian shook his sour arm, followed Liang Dong to step on the trembling springboard and slowly walked towards the Zheng family's boat opposite.

"Mr. Wang, be careful, there are winds and waves on the sea, this board is not very stable, you hold my hand."

I finally stepped onto the deck, and although the hull of the boat would still rise and fall with the waves, it still felt much more solid than the gangplank. Wang Qinian tried not to look at the corpses on the deck, carefully stepped over the flowing blood, and followed Liang Dong all the way down to the cabin, through the light shining through the hatch, he saw an unforgettable scene in his life:

The cabin was full of wooden boxes, all of which were opened at the moment, and they were all filled with white silver, and at a glance, the silver luster seemed to overshadow the sun's rays. Wang Qinian had never seen so much silver, and he felt a little dizzy for a while.

Liang Dong, who was behind him, reached out and stabbed him in the back without a trace, and reminded in a low voice: "Mr. Wang, it's time to work!" This brought Wang Qinian back to his senses.

The task of Wang Qinian and the other bookkeepers was to roughly count the amount of silver and the value of the goods, and only an approximate number was needed, and there was no need for precision. Even so, Wang Qinian was still tired and sweating profusely.

When all the corpses on the deck were pushed into the sea, and the blood on the deck was washed away in a hurry, the whole fleet began to return home. In order to get around Kinmen Island, a big circle was made to the south.

Although the entire fleet was successfully taken, the Liu Xiang Group also paid a heavy price, with countless casualties, and let the fourth child of the Zheng family escape in the chaos.

However, the pirates on the way back did not seem to be affected by the above, and they were all elated, talking loudly about the battle just now, boasting that they had killed several people, and some even sang small songs in slang, the content of which was nothing more than a fuss about certain female organs, full of lewd atmosphere.

Wang Qinian quietly asked Liang Dong: "So many people have died, why are they still so happy?" ”

Liang Dong disagreed: "Are you still crying when you're unhappy?" Anyway, it wasn't himself who died, and he seized so much silver, how much he could divide it, so everyone was happy. ”

"Then why don't you look too happy?"

Liang Dong sighed: "Alas, before I was a prisoner, I lived such a heartless life. Ever since he was caught and released, he began to think about these things: licking blood from the knife all day long, dying in the hands of others one day, pushing the corpse into the sea to feed the fish, and not even leaving the whole corpse, what's the point of living in such a mess, besides, ......" He looked around to see if there was anyone around, and whispered, "Except for the big dragon head and a few big shopkeepers, small minions like us can't even drink good soup, let alone other people." Usually he spends money and spends lavishly, and with a little money, he pours horse urine, or sends it to a kiln on the shore, and he has no savings until the day he dies...... I don't want to live like this anymore, I want to go ashore in vain, I want to be an officer and soldier! ”

The huge fleet bypassed Kinmen and headed for Taiwan.

The center left office office.

With a "bang", the teacup on the table fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

Zheng Zhilong slapped his palm on the table, the good pineapple wood table, the palm of his hand shook painfully, but now he couldn't feel the pain in his body at all, but felt distressed.

Eighteen ships of silver and cargo!

Zheng Hongkui knelt on the ground and said with a crying voice: "Big brother, it's me who is useless and can't keep these silver ......."

Zheng Zhilong took a deep breath, suppressed his anger a little, and reached out to pull Zheng Hongkui up.

"Fourth brother, it's not your fault. Liu Xiang's main force is exhausted, we only have eighteen boats, and it is not enough to stuff people's teeth. When the money is gone, we can earn it again, and it would be good if you could come back. ”

Zheng Zhihu kicked over a chair irritably and said loudly: "We can't suffer this bird anger in vain!" Big brother, let's have a tooth for a tooth and kill Liu Xiang on his dog day! ”

Zheng Zhilong's face was blue: "Liu Xiang's side naturally wants to fight back, but how to beat us has to sum up." Liu Xiang suddenly left no way back, there must be someone behind him, maybe it was the Dutch...... "Since the possibility of Liu Xiang and the Dutch joining forces in the south of the summer, he has paid special attention to it. Judging from the news from various sources, Liu Xiang is indeed closely connected with the Dutch, and often anchors in Dongfan Island. (To be continued.) )
