For a long time, the common people's impression of the county lord is generally white face and long beard, big belly, high up, in and out of the gong to open the way, called "parent official", in fact, the people do not even raise their eyelids, that is really an out-and-out "big man".

But Xiong Rulin, a young magistrate, not only personally led the militia to the sea to exterminate the fake widows, but also personally cut off the heads of the fake widows! Although this work was not very skillful, so that the blood of the "old dragon king" was sprayed all over his body, he still won the warm applause of the people. This knife cut out the hatred of the common people for the fake widows, and also cut out the majesty of the Ming Dynasty that will not tolerate those who harm the people!

Soon, Xiong Rulin's feat of personally killing the "Old Dragon King" quickly spread not only throughout Nan'an County, but also throughout Fujian Province. In the following six months, he led the militia to attack twice and wiped out two small groups of pirates. Due to the proper tactics and the absolute superiority of the troops, the militia regiments bravely did not suffer a single casualty, and the more they fought, the more confident they became. After the people are arrested, they will all be killed.

The Secret Post of the Secret Sect of the Sect of the Ghost Queen

Although it took only three operations to eliminate more than 50 pirates, the shock to the coastal areas of Fujian is self-evident. The common people, who have suffered from false widows, are proud and applauded; The pirates who are usually invincible are in constant fear. Some of the old nests are still hundreds of miles away from Nan'an, but they are already looking for the next place to stay, trying to avoid Xiong Rulin from a distance; Some simply returned to land to "wash their hands in a golden basin", and even the boat was burned.

After a long time, the name of Xiong Rulin, the "beheading magistrate", finally reached the ears of Zheng Zhilong, the largest pirate leader on the southeast coast.

At this time, Zheng Zhilong was "the spring breeze was proud". He had long been in collusion with the White Lotus Sect, but he had been a pirate for half his life, and he had already developed the habit of not trusting anyone. Therefore, when the White Lotus Sect united with Hong Chengchou and the "Thirteen Families" thieves to support King Fu's father and son to launch a rebellion, although Zhu Yousong repeatedly "passed on the edict", Zheng Zhilong did not act at the same time.

When the rebels were defeated and retreated, and they were about to be wiped out by the official army, Zhu Yousong discussed with the "national teacher" Zhu Zijian, and if he didn't grasp Zheng Zhilong's life-saving straw, he would die without a place to be buried. In desperation, he had to spend his blood and let several "important ministers" carry five million taels of silver tickets and countless treasures, plus one of Zhu Yousong's younger sisters, Zhu Shujing, who was named "Princess Jianning", married Zheng Zhilong in exchange for him to send a sea army to rescue.

At this time, although Zheng Zhilong was powerful, he was still a smuggler and pirate in his bones, and he had no ambitions, but his speculative psychology was very heavy. Seeing that he could get so many benefits, Zhu Yousong also promised to give him more benefits and privileges after "restoring the country", and Zheng Zhilong was finally moved. But he didn't forget to bargain, and he had to make him king before he was willing to send troops.

You must know that since the beginning of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty has adhered to the principle of "no king with a different surname", even if there are occasional exceptions, it is also a posthumous honor. And Zheng Zhilong's threat to the king is actually a blatant challenge to Zhu Yousong's "imperial power".

After the hatred of the lonely ball, the knot is cool

However, "people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads", Zhu Yousong finally had to follow the advice of the "national teacher" and named Zheng Zhilong the "King of Chao". Zheng Zhilong sent troops to take Zhu Yousong and others to the island of Taiwan, and Zhu Yousong was fortunate to have "sealed the civil and military", but the real military and political power was firmly held by Zheng Zhilong.

But at this time, there was no need to think about it, and the poisonous dragon reappeared, and in the blink of an eye, he stabbed seven times in a row. But only listening to the sound of a fierce weapon exchange with a clanging sound, Xiong Rulin actually blocked seven times with a saber in a row, and was unharmed!

Zheng Zhilong's abacus is also very fine, he is not interested in whether Zhu Yousong can "restore the country", all he wants is Zhu Yousong's "emperor" signboard. In this way, his status will also change, and he will be able to obtain greater benefits in the maritime trade.

As for the other side of the strait, Zheng Zhilong is not as arrogant as the "national teacher" Zhu Zijian. He knew that it was okay to run rampant on the sea, and that there was no chance of victory in counterattacking the imperial court. Therefore, Zheng Zhilong is now standing still and waiting to see what happens, if the world is really in chaos, it is not too late for him to go in and get a piece of the pie.

But just when he was going well, Xiong Rulin appeared out of place. Detaining a few ships and killing dozens of pirates are all trivial matters in Zheng Zhilong's opinion, and he can bear it. But the establishment of a city shipping office, so that all ships must be registered and taxed, this is what Zheng Zhilong absolutely can't bear. He Zheng Zhilong is the overlord of the sea, why should he be controlled by others!

Then there is a series of measures taken by Xiong Rulin, so that the people gradually settle down, and there are obviously fewer people who want to go to sea to "mix".

In order to run the island of Taiwan well, Zheng Zhilong is trying to attract people from the other side of the strait, and the more people there are, the more down-to-earth he becomes. But now Xiong Rulin's behavior is tantamount to drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle, and a good way to enhance his strength has been broken, how can Zheng Zhilong not hate!

But after all, Zheng Zhilong still has the name of the general soldier of Fuzhou and the chief soldier of the Fujian Navy Division, and he doesn't want to do it himself, so he lets the White Lotus Sect take action. The White Lotus Sect sent a martial arts master from the island of Taiwan, who was nicknamed "Poisonous Dragon", and was very good at fists, feet, and blades. In order to prevent being intercepted by the ships of the Nan'an militia group, he deliberately made a long detour, landed in Guangdong, and then came to Nan'an by land.

But wherever Xiong Rulin went during the day, the militia was very well guarded, and the poisonous dragon had no chance to attack. This guy really had an idea, and he actually signed up for the office. He deliberately hid his skills and played a fist, but even if he concealed his strength, he showed that he was a good player, so he was immediately recruited into the army of officials.

After becoming a servant, the poisonous dragon was quite active, standing on duty during the day and taking the initiative to ask for night duty at night. The yamen of the Ming Dynasty were all the former yamen and the back house, and Xiong Rulin lived in the back house. The poisonous dragon took the opportunity to peep into the back house for several nights in a row, and found that Xiong Rulin was busy in the study until late at night every day. On the second watch, the servant was asked to go in and take out a small box, tie it to the pigeon's leg and release it, which is probably the "flying pigeon biography" commonly used by the government.

When everything was ready, the poisonous dragon finally got started. That night, he changed into a night coat, carried a sharp blade, and hid in a secluded place in the county government early, staring at Xiong Rulin's study. I saw Xiong Rulin's long shadow reflected on the window lattice by candlelight, obviously writing hard as usual, not realizing the danger coming.

The poisonous dragon was secretly happy in his heart, and when it was a watch, everything was silent, he thought that it was time, so he appeared like a ghost, tiptoed to the door of the study, kicked the door open and rushed in, and stabbed Xiong Rulin next to the bookcase when he was distracted.

Unexpectedly, Xiong Rulin reacted very quickly, and as soon as he raised his hand, he slammed the bookcase towards the poisonous dragon. The poisonous dragon flashed sideways, only to hear a rumble behind him, and the entire window was smashed away, and his heart was taken aback, and he secretly called out the strength of this surnamed Xiong!

But at this time, there was no need to think about it, and the poisonous dragon reappeared, and in the blink of an eye, he stabbed seven times in a row. But only listening to the sound of a fierce weapon exchange with a clanging sound, Xiong Rulin actually blocked seven times with a saber in a row, and was unharmed!

"The knife is two feet six inches long, and its ridge is straight and curved, like a razor, which can be stabbed and cut.

This is an embroidered spring knife! The poisonous dragon was frustrated one after another, and couldn't help but be shocked and angry, "You... You're not Xiong Rulin! ”

"Haha, count you as knowledgeable!" "Xiong Rulin" looked up to the sky and said with a long smile: "My lord originally guarded against the Zheng family, but I didn't expect it to be the White Lotus Sect!" ”
