Before the arrival of the Haihan people, Ma Yue's living standard was still quite good. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Jiangsu and Zhejiang were originally rich places, Jiaxing is also a famous land of fish and rice in eastern Zhejiang, although it is the Weisu army that relies on Tuntian to live, but relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and the sea to eat the sea, next to such a good place, Ma Yue can not be poor even if he wants to be poor.

Hainingwei has jurisdiction over Zhapu and Pengpu two guards, and these two places happen to be the largest and most prosperous seaports in Jiaxing, relying on these two ports alone, it can bring Hainingwei an annual income of tens of thousands of taels of silver. Of course, this money is not enjoyed by Ma Yue alone, the big people above have to be touched, and the people below have to be appeased, and he can receive about two or three achievements in the silver in his pocket.

After the Haihan people entered Zhoushan, the direct impact on Jiaxing was not very large, but there was a decrease in the passenger flow of the port for more than ten days. However, since Haihan organized the investment promotion, a large number of merchants poured into Hangzhou Bay, and the two ports in Jiaxing have also become distribution centers for the flow of passengers to the sea, and they have basically returned to their usual prosperity. But Ma Yue was not happy with this situation, because he realized that the Zhoushan Islands and the East China Sea were breaking away from the control of the Ming Dynasty. The Haihan people's gameplay is completely different from that of the previous smugglers, they do not rely on the Ming government, and they have money and soldiers, and they will not take the initiative to bow to the government.

Since Haihan focused on Ningbo after occupying Zhoushan, Hainingwei, which is across a Hangzhou Bay, did not get much direct benefit from Haihan, so Ma Yue's view of Haihan was not as relaxed and friendly as Yan Guowei, Huang Tao and others. And he was very worried that Haihan would continue to clean up the northern islands of the Zhoushan Islands after freeing his hands, and the little men and horses under Ma Teng's hands would definitely not be able to stop the offensive of the Haihan people.

But Ma Yue is not a fool, the Weisu army in Ningbo has not moved, which shows that the Haihan people are not so easy to deal with, not to mention that Hainingwei does not have enough strength to launch a large-scale naval combat operation. Although Ma Yue was worried about the arrival of the Haihan people, he could only wait and see the changes in the situation for the time being, and did not dare to act rashly.

It wasn't until Yu Pingfeng and others secretly came to Haining to lobby him that Ma Yue seemed to see hope for changing the situation. Among the three people, Yu Pingfeng is in charge of the military, Guo Zheng is in charge of criminal proceedings, and Liao Xun is in charge of intelligence, which seems to be a very reliable match. Ma Yue has soldiers under him, and there are people in the East China Sea, so it is only fitting that he is responsible for specific operations. The two sides almost hit it off, and soon decided that Ma Yuelai would organize and carry out the sea interception and killing operation planned by Yu Pingfeng and others.

Although Ma Yue was a guard commander, because there had been no war in the East China Sea in recent years, he actually had no actual combat experience in his professional experience, and he lacked professional ability to plan and command large-scale combat operations, which was also a major reason why Gong Qiqi easily learned relevant information when he went to Zhapu Port in Jiaxing. Although he knew that the Haihan people were not easy to deal with, he lacked a clear understanding of what the specific method was. The shortcomings in intelligence gathering made this already flawed plan come to light early, and trying to use the pirates of Qushan Island, who had lost the will to fight, as a means to deal with the Haihan was even more wrong. Ma Yue's arrangement forced Ma Teng, the owner of Qushan Island, to take the initiative to go to Zhoushan Island to ask for surrender, and at the same time completely exposed himself, but he did not yet know that he was already in such a dangerous situation.

The news sent by Ma Teng gave Ma Yue the hope of making a windfall, and he didn't even try to inform his allies in Hangzhou about the matter, so he organized a group of henchmen and went to sea in two modified lucky boats.

According to the agreement with Ma Teng, the two sides would meet near Dayangshan Island in the northwest direction of Qushan Island, and then squat here to guard the target merchant ship heading north from Zhoushan to Yangzhou in the north.

Dayangshan Island is located outside Hangzhou Bay, about 60 nautical miles from Hainingwei. The island covers an area of about four square kilometres, with gentle terrain in the northeast and mountains in the south, with the highest point being more than 200 meters above sea level. In the waters near Dayangshan Island, there are three large yellow croaker fishing floods in the first half of the year, and fishermen along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang will rush to the local fishing area at that time. In the Song and Yuan dynasties, there were officers and soldiers patrolling the sea on Dayangshan Island, but after the Ming Dynasty, because of the prosperity of the East China Sea and the ban on the sea imposed by the imperial court, it returned to a wild state.

There are many islands and reefs near Dayangshan Island, many of which have fresh water sources, and it is relatively easy for ships to dock here for supplies and hide their tracks. On the route from Zhoushan back to the Jianghuai region, it is also a must-pass place. When Ma Yue set off for his destination, he didn't think that this was a trap set by Ma Teng and his enemies.

On the morning of June 29, after a night of sailing, the two ships led by Ma Yue arrived at the waters near the destination Dayangshan Island, and met Ma Teng's ship on the shore of the key ao in the north of the island as promised. However, seeing that Ma Teng only brought a ship to participate in the battle, this made Ma Yue slightly unhappy, originally he was going to use Ma Teng's men and horses as tools, but now this situation seems to have been reversed, and he has to play the main position in the operation. Ma Yue figured out that the fifty-fifty split account discussed with Ma Teng before was a bit not cost-effective, and this ratio would have to be discussed again afterwards.

But fortunately, Ma Teng is a good man, Ma Yue has not mentioned this stubble, Ma Teng himself first expressed his attitude, saying that he can take less of this seizure, after all, the commander of the labor makes the adult personally dispatch, which does not mean that it is a little unreasonable.

Ma Yue was overjoyed, but also noticed that Ma Teng's men were all strong men, and they seemed to be much more energetic than his own soldiers, and he was secretly surprised that this horse was huddled on Qushan Island, but he brought out a group of elite soldiers. How could he guess that Ma Teng brought these people with him were all Haihan militia soldiers, and they were not pirates from Qushan Island at all. Qian Tiandun didn't worry about letting Ma Teng connect with Ma Yue, so he simply replaced all his subordinates. If this Ma Teng is not honest, several special forces who are with him will take his life at any time.

Ma Yue was also a little worried that if the target was rushing day and night, and he had passed here overnight, there would be no way to intercept it. But Ma Teng patted his chest and swore that this situation would not occur: "The villain has already inquired and understood, and the two ships will set off from Zhoushan Dinghai Port early tomorrow morning to the north, calculate the distance, and arrive here at about lunchtime." When the time comes, you will be in charge of one boat, and the villain will be in charge of one boat, and you will attack separately, so don't let it slip away. After succeeding, he sailed directly to Qushan Island, and won the deal without knowing it! After returning to the seizure and counting, he will send your share to Jiaxing. ”

Ma Yue listened happily and couldn't help but praise: "I didn't find out that you kid is so good at things before, it's not bad." In the future, after forcing the Haihan people back and taking back this Zhoushan Island, I will make a decision and let you go to Zhoushan Island to organize the overall situation!"

Ma Teng said in his heart that you can force the Haihan people to retreat, but he thanked him repeatedly, and ordered someone to send supplies, so that Ma Yue's men and horses could rest here for a whole day. Ma Yue was not afraid of deception, and after discussing various signals and measures for sea operations with Ma Teng, he rested peacefully.

At midnight that day, several troop carriers under the command of Shi Diwen quietly docked from the east side of the island, and a company of army troops quietly landed on the shore in the darkness of the night and marched past the predetermined place in the dark.

Early the next morning, the drowsy sentry suddenly noticed that the ship docked on Qushan Island had disappeared without a trace. When Ma Yue received the news and hurried to the beach to check the situation, he found that not only had a boat disappeared, but two strange-looking sailing boats were coming on the sea less than a hundred feet from the shore. There was a red and half blue flag floating on the top of the mast of these two ships, and when Ma Yue was puzzled, his subordinates, who had already known the goods, exclaimed: "It's Haihan! It's Haihan!"

Why did the Haihan people kill at this juncture, Ma Yue didn't understand the mystery for a while. But he didn't panic too much, and rebuked loudly: "What are you panicking about! We are the official army of the Ming Dynasty, this is the Ming Haijiang, quickly raise the flag to show your identity!"

A subordinate responded: "My lord, we didn't bring a flag this time......

Ma Yue then remembered that in order to ensure that their identities were not recognized, the two ships did not carry anything that could be used to identify them, not only did they not have flags, but even all the weapons used by everyone had been changed, because the weapons mounted by the guards were engraved with official logos.

"That's okay, the Haihan people may not be coming for us. Ma Yue could only force himself to comfort himself, but he had actually realized in his heart that it might not be a coincidence that the Haihan people would appear here and now, and things didn't seem to be so simple.

What Ma Yue hoped for was a Haihan army that appeared at the rear of the camp, and someone specially held an iron horn and shouted: "The people on the beach immediately put down their weapons and kneel and surrender, otherwise they will be killed!"

Without waiting for Ma Yue's order, the panicked Ming soldiers began to rush to the two boats parked on the shore, their only hope of leaving the island. The reason why they did not choose to confront the Haihan soldiers on the shore and retreat directly was because they all saw the muskets in the hands of these Haihan soldiers. The Ming army was originally equipped with similar weapons, but in order to completely hide their identities, they all changed to cold weapons before going to sea this time. These Ming soldiers were not pirate bandits with no knowledge at all, they knew very well the lethality of muskets, and they did not intend to try to use their flesh and blood to attack the Haihan musket formation.

However, the sea was not an ideal escape route, and the two Haihan ships showed their side guns and carried out a round of close artillery shelling on the two immobile sailing ships on the seashore. Due to the proximity, some shells penetrated through one side of the ship's plank, directly through the inside of the hull and opened through the other side of the ship's plank, and the flying splinters of wood also injured several Ming soldiers who had just run to the side of the ship. Before the Ming army who tried to escape got on the ship, the hull of the ship had already been hit by the cannon fire of Haihan several transparent holes.

The situation on the shore was not much better, and after only two shouts of warning, the Haihan soldiers opened fire under the command of the brass whistle, and screams broke out on the unsheltered beach.

Ma Yue trembled and lay on the ground, cursing Ma Teng desperately in his heart for falling to death. By this time, if he hadn't figured out what was going on, it would have been hopeless. Of course, even if he is now sure that Ma Teng betrayed himself, he can't change the current situation of being surrounded and suppressed by the Haihan militia. Although the dozens of henchmen he took to sea this time were all elites in the army, they were powerless to fight back in the current situation. And this is an isolated island in the sea, and there is nowhere to escape, either resist to death, or can only be captured.

Ma Yue chose the latter. When he found that the two ships he had brought with him had no chance to sail off the coast, he decisively chose to surrender. But when two Haihan soldiers came to tie him up with a cowhide rope, he still tried to make a final resistance: "This official is Ma Yue, the commander of Hainingwei, you bold and fanatics, are you going to challenge the Ming Dynasty?"

However, he was only hit by two heavy blows to the butt, one on the shoulder and one on the back, and the pain caused him to fall to the ground immediately. Immediately, I felt a big foot on my back, and then my hands were twisted behind my back, and I tied them firmly. Hai Hanbing grabbed his two arms and lifted him up from the ground. When Ma Yue was about to continue to defend his dignity with words, someone had already pinched his chin and stuffed a ball of rags with the smell of sea into his mouth, and he could only whine and speechless.

Ma Yue led the group out to sea, a total of fifty-five people, including himself, and none of them escaped from the encirclement. Seven of them were killed in the brief encounter, along with about a dozen others with injuries ranging from severity to severity. In addition to the consumption of ammunition, there were no casualties on the Haihan side, and this battle can be regarded as a complete victory.

Since the fighting broke out in the early morning and ended just by tea time, there was not much movement. Although the Haihan warship fired a round of cannons, the distance from the nearest coast was more than twenty nautical miles, and no one would notice it at all.

After a brief search of the two ships on which the Ming army was traveling, Shi Diwen ordered them to be towed to the shore and then scuttled into the sea. And the crew of this ship, whether they lived or died, were all transported to the Haihan warship. In addition, a platoon was left to erase the traces of operations on the coast. By the time the sun was rising, the place had returned to its former tranquility, and it was impossible to tell that there had been a skirmish two hours earlier.

Since Ma Yue only explained the destination and combat objectives to the henchmen who followed him to the sea before setting off, he and his men were now quietly missing from nowhere. (To be continued.) )
