By mid-June, the residents of Tianjin Wei were already talking about the heat during the day, but it was still cool at night, especially on the sea. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There are a lot of sea ships that come to Tianjin Wei, day and night, when it gets dark, they are close to the shallows to anchor, and if they are lucky, they enter the harbor and stop, although the seaside is a little barren, but it is gradually prosperous, and the traders also see the business opportunities of the seaside, and set up a lot of simple sheds to sell some wine and food goods, or gamble and take a profit.

Some people also think that this place will be valuable sooner or later, and if they start early, they may be able to make a lot of money like the Haihe River, but when they went to the yamen to inquire, they learned that this side was bought by the two big businessmen behind the Sanjiang Commercial Bank as early as a year ago.

The chieftains and merchants who had spare money went to the commercial area to enjoy, and those who did not succeed made a fuss on the shantytown, and when they arrived at the sea, they all quieted down, and the next day they had to beg for a living, and they did not sleep and had no strength.

The seaside and the river were quiet, but some people did not sleep, and on the seashore and by the river, there were people holding torches and wind lamps and shaking them.

A few miles from the shore, nearly a hundred sea-like ships are slowly coming, but the front one is a wide ship with a two-masted tip and a gunwalby much higher than the water.

But in the light of the wind lamp on the bow of the ship, these men are actually wearing quite good armor, for one person is much taller than the others, with a beard like steel needles, a fierce and abnormal appearance, he carries a big knife behind him, and the men around him are all strong, among which there are more than a dozen short and stout characters with shaved heads and buns on the back of their heads

The crowd looked intently at the direction of the land, saw the fire shaking, and a few people even climbed on the side of the boat, waiting for the torch to finish, one of them turned around excitedly and said: "Tiger Master, three left, four on the right, five down, two down, can dock!" ”

After saying this, there was a commotion among the people around, and everyone's eyes looked at the man, and one of the people close to the big man hesitated and said: "Master Hu, the big boss said that this Tianjin Wei can't be touched, and it is as good as doing business with them; …… r......" The big man took a sip and said in a rough voice:

"The family business is big, the timidity is small, we are rolling in the wind and waves, what else can not be touched on the beach, Grandpa Qi is in the north, here a child with no hair is fed, and he is afraid of a bird!!"

After saying this, he suddenly raised his voice and said:

"Our brother died here, our ship was taken by him, and now such a big piece of fat is on the side of our mouths, if we don't take a bite again, we can't help our conscience!!"

The surroundings laughed in unison, and said gossipily:

"What Master Hu said is that this Tianjin Wei is too fat, let's not do it, after robbing it, we will live enough in this life."

"Besides, if we don't rob it, someone will do it sooner or later!!"

The big man, known as the "Tiger Master", waved his hand down and commanded in a cold voice:

"All orders, go down, dock!"

The crowd around the big man scattered violently, and they all came to the side of the boat, some shaking their torches, and some shouting at the small boat under the big boat.

There were four men standing on the watchtower, each facing one direction, observing intently, and the guard rotated every hour.

There will be military guards who come to check from time to time, and if they are found to be drowsy and other slack, they will be severely punished by military law.

At midnight, the area that could be observed from the watchtower was dark, with only a few fixed places with lanterns.

When observing the darkness, it is always boring, and the eyes of the sentry facing east are a little sour, and he wants to yawn, but when he has this idea, he immediately pinched his arm, and the force was so great that tears flowed out of the pain.

It was in the blink of an eye that De Chan saw a flickering fire over there, and the weather was quite clear, and he could see the light in the distance at night, and the soldier rubbed his eyes, thinking that he had seen it wrong.

But the light of the fire was always flickering, and there was a bright light on the shore at night, often to guide the ships at sea, and the soldier looked at it a few times, and shouted below: "There is a fire on the east side!" ”

The generals below walked out of the house, looked up at the watchtower, and the sentry stared carefully for a while, and confirmed loudly: "It seems that someone is holding a torch, and there is a faint light on the sea, but I can't tell if it is the starlight one by one, one by one, three people and three horses, set off in that direction!" Go and tell the nearby camp leaders to be on alert. The generals below shouted orders, and the soldiers below the I1 watchtower were all nervous and acted.

Ships of all sizes docked, and the people on board jumped into the chest-deep water with their weapons and walked towards the shore, and from time to time there were whispered shouts.

The ships anchored on the shore of the sea were quiet, and they may have gone to sleep, or they may have sensed the movement outside, but they did not dare to make any moves.

The movements of these pirates were very neat, and there was not much effort, and the shore was already full of men with swords, and at a rough glance there were about four thousand, among which there were several groups of people who were quite neatly dressed and relatively short, some held long knives with narrow blades, and some held short spears of seven feet.

The big man, who was called the Tiger Master, stood on a sampan, and several people pushed the sampan to the beach, and the big man got off the sampan and walked in front of the people, and two attendants with torches followed him and stood behind him. The big man raised his voice and said:

"Walk for more than an hour, there is Tianjin Wei, gold and silver, women, everything is good, but there are more than 3,000 soldiers stationed there, after the chaos, they may not be able to take care of themselves...... Shiro and dozens of their boats went in from the Hai River...... That family washes that side, they have all been divided, each following their own house, don't run around, don't fire, and withdraw when you hear the sound of the trumpet, I will say it again, your own family is robbing on your own ground, don't run around and don't fire, otherwise the tiger's knife will see blood, but do you understand!! ”

A group of people standing on Xiao Mian suddenly agreed, and there was an uneven uproar behind them, the tiger grinned, pulled out the big knife on his back and said loudly: "Our master is going to be happy tonight, let's go!" The pirates burst into laughter and followed.

In every place where boats can be parked, from May onwards, there are several boats covered with tarpaulin, and no one is allowed to approach, which is quite mysterious.

However, in all parts of the harbor wharf, people and boats are coming and going, and they don't pay attention to these little things, and few people notice that these boats are also on duty, but they generally don't go out except when they change shifts.

Two shifts, each shifting, to ensure that there were awake men on board at all times, and their task was simply to look out through the cracks in the tarpaulin.

When the pirates anchored at the shoals and bays on the shore, the soldiers on the ships on the shore knew about it, but according to the prior orders, they did not do anything, but woke up the whole ship, and waited there.

A large number of pirates walked in the direction of the commercial district by the Haihe River, and the shore that had just been noisy began to be quiet again.

The tarpaulins of the ships docked at the harbor were removed, and some soldiers brought out some of the jars, opened the mud seals of the jars, and poured oil on the ship's goods, one by one, bundles of dry firewood and grass.

Eight men per boat rowed, slowly, but still moving, although there were pirates left behind on the sea, but because they could not go to the shore to plunder, they were listless.

In addition, this seaside is desolate, and I don't worry about being seen or anything, but I don't notice that a few ships are slowly approaching.

Although at night, by the light of the wind lanterns hanging from the ship's mast, the largest ship was found, and a soldier crouched in the bow with a bow and arrow, staring nervously at the boat opposite, leaving only four men rowing, and behind them someone put the sampan hanging on the stern of the boat in the water and connected it with ropes.

There were five people on duty on the Daguang ship, who were chatting and scolding their mothers there, when they suddenly heard two door knocks on the other side of the ship, they were all stunned, and hurriedly picked up the weapons in their hands and walked over.

Before the people got there, there was a "whew", and the fire suddenly ignited over there, and the boat was a wooden boat, and the people were panicked and hurriedly quickened their pace.

With a large iron nail hanging with an iron cable into the sticker board of the Canton ship, the bow and stern of the flat-bottomed boat are connected to the Canton ship, the hull is almost attached to the hull, the soldiers quickly ran to the tail of the sampan behind, one person has already lit the torch with the fire medium, and ordered several times on the firewood and grass poured with oil, and soon, the firewood and grass are burning, the tarpaulin is also burning, the whole ship is also burning, and the connected Canton ship is also burning.

The iron nails were nailed into the hull of the ship, and the gunwales of the wide ship were high from the water, and the people on the dry board could not cut the iron cables and pull out the iron nails, and one man dared to jump down, but he was shot by the soldiers on the sampan with an arrow, and fell off the boat without saying a word.

Seeing that the fire had set fire to half of the entire ship, the ship could no longer be saved, and the pirates who stayed on the ship did not dare to stay here, so they jumped into the water one after another.

The sampan had already rowed far away, and around the same time, the largest ships in the pirate fleet were approached by the fireships and began to burn......

Even though the distance was far away, the raging fire on the sea could still be clearly observed from the watchtower, the sentinels shouted warnings, and the generals below also ran up the watchtower quickly. "There is an enemy coming from the east, send a warning!!" The screeching sound of the copper whistle sounded in the sky above the Haihe River......
