I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

It is estimated that the so-called elite troops at that time were probably about the same combat effectiveness as the officers and soldiers of the guards now.

The battle on the island, to be precise, is still going on.

The marines, who were still vigilant at the beginning, encountered a few waves of fleeing Japanese pirates, and found that the combat effectiveness of these Japanese pirates was really too weak to watch.

Later, Qianhu felt that the pursuit was too slow, so he directly ordered the pursuit in small groups.

For the first time on the battlefield, members of the Marine Corps who are bent on meritorious service.

After dispersing, one by one screamed excitedly, looking for the pirates all over the mountains and plains on the island.

Spotting the traces of the Japanese pirates, the soldiers waved their weapons and chased after them like a Chinese New Year.

Zhu Zhangui has promised.

If you capture a Japanese pirate from the Ming Dynasty, you can get five silver coins, and if you cut off your head, you can get three silver coins.

If it is a real Japanese pirate, one tael of silver will live and five taels of silver will die.

Although the salary of the navy is not low, who would think that their own money is too much.

Each team also has its own allocation method.

Work together to capture an enemy, and the bounty you get is shared equally.

If you catch it alone, you can get [-]%.

In order to get rewards to improve the family's life, when the prisoners were captured, the soldiers screamed excitedly.

That's like catching rabbits in the autumn harvest.

Once someone finds the Japanese pirates, a large group of marines will chase and intercept them.

If it was the kind of real Japanese pirates, the people in the captured team would be as if they had just married their wives, and their mouths would be distorted.

As for how to distinguish real Japanese pirates from fake Japanese pirates.

This has already been explained above.

Those who scold Baga and Lu, or those who call flax are real Japanese pirates.

Others are not.

The reason for this division is because most of the members of the Marine Corps are from Shandong.

The official dialect of the Ming Dynasty was not as popular as modern Mandarin.

Many soldiers and civilians use local dialects for most of their daily conversations.

Only when you reach the level of an officer, you will learn Mandarin because you need to contact your superiors.

If soldiers or civilians meet people from other provinces, most of the conversations are guesswork.

"Flax belt, don't hide, come out quickly, we Da Ming will work preferentially for prisoners!"

On a cliff, a team is searching the area.

The team leader, who can speak a little Mandarin, held a flintlock gun with a bayonet, and while picking the surrounding grass, he shouted words to persuade him to surrender.

"Head, I have a question that I don't understand. What does the linen belt mean?"

A spearman stabbing the grass with a spear, glanced at the side of the island, who was still thinking about the sound of the guns, and asked a question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.

How does the captain know what the linen belt means?

But as the boss, he couldn't lose face under his subordinates.

While stabbing the surrounding grass with a bayonet, he said in an educational tone: "I told you to read some books, but you refused to read, and even said that you would get sleepy after reading a book. You don't understand such a simple truth!"

"I tell you, you can remember, the linen belt is the plain name of the Japanese people!"

The soldier nodded with a half-understand look on his face, and then asked in doubt.

"Then why are they called Wa people instead of flax belt people?"

The captain's mouth twitched violently.

Why the hell does this kid have so many questions.

"Head, head... There is a real pirate here!"

Just when the team leader was thinking about how to answer this question, behind a big rock in the distance, a musketeer pointed his gun at the rock, and shouted excitedly to this side.

"Is it a real linen belt? Don't beat him to death. It's worthless after death."

The squad leader shouted excitedly, except for the two who were vigilant about their surroundings, the others rushed up excitedly.

When they arrived behind the big rock, they saw a hidden small cave behind the rock.At this time, there was a guy with very strange hair inside, who was trembling and raising his hands, his mouth was dripping, and he didn't know what to say.

"Come out the hemp belt quickly, or your Bagagaya Road will die!"

The squad leader who ran over saw the other party's outfit, his eyes lit up.

This is a serious Japanese pirate, but it's worth a tael of silver.

Holding a gun and pointing at the Japanese pirates at the entrance of the small cave, the captain learned the half-baked Japanese pirate language he learned from the captain, and shouted loudly at the pirates whose hands were trembling.

"Ya Butterfly!"

The pirate blinked blankly, and looked at the captain with a puzzled expression.

Hearing the other party's Japanese pirate language, the team leader's eyes brightened even more.

"Damn it, I know that what I said is not standard, you don't need to teach me to say it, get out quickly, or you will die!"

"Hi hi hi..."

As soon as he heard that he was dead, he looked at the weapon that was pointing at him, and the pirate crawled out in fright.

"Put your hands up so I can see your hands!"

"Hi hi hi..."

The Japanese pirates who had been frightened out of their wits didn't know which tendon had opened up, but they actually understood the meaning of the squad leader's shout.

Holding his head in his hands, he moved forward little by little.

"Hey, head... there's another one inside!"

As the Japanese pirates outside came out, the soldiers found that there was one squatting inside.

"Haha, let's send it!"

The squad leader laughed excitedly, making others look at the Japanese pirates who came out. He once again used the Japanese pirate language that he couldn't find in his tune, and shouted loudly into the inside.

To be precise, the battle was to capture prisoners, and it didn't end until evening.

Of the more than 3000 Japanese pirates on the island, more than 2600 were killed and nearly 400 were captured.

As for the injured, I'm sorry I didn't find the injured Japanese pirate.

In this battle, apart from the navy wasting some shells, the marine corps was only a wounded man who sprained his foot because he ran too fast to catch the prisoner.

Evening sunset.

Under the protection of a large group of guards, Zhu Zhangui landed on the island where the Japanese pirates were located.

Seeing the captives knelt down in rows by the soldiers, Zhu Zhangui asked Qianhu who had gone ashore.

"Have you caught their leader!"

Chito shook his head regretfully.

"The last general has been interrogated just now. When their leader was not in a good position in the battle, he went back to the camp to pack his things and prepared to run away. As a result, he was bumped into by them when they were going back. Disputes and conflicts broke out between the two sides. In the chaos Their leader was killed by real Japanese pirates."

Zhu Zhangui nodded.

"Then have you found what I want?"

Qianhu quickly took out a stack of letters from his arms and handed them to Zhu Zhangui.

"Your Highness, here are all the things with markings found in the camp."

Zhu Zhangui took it and looked it over.

It was found that some of them were Japanese characters, and most of the others were pages torn from books.

The only one that was considered a letter, the handwriting was already a little blurry, obviously soaked in water, but some of the content could still be read clearly.

The letter was written by a person surnamed Zhao, and the recipient was this leader.

The content is to invite the leader to attend a meeting, which will be held ten days later.

It is no longer clear what will be discussed, but the location of the meeting can be seen very clearly.

"Penghu Island!"

Looking at the place where the meeting was held, Zhu Zhangui had a smile on his face.

Chapter 165: Is this a pirate party or a seafood party?

I have to say that these Japanese pirates really know how to choose places.

There are more than 60 islands in Penghu Island. The letter only marked Penghu Island, but did not say which island to go to.

Obviously, after arriving, they were led there.

In this way, the navy can't find anyone if they want to make a surprise attack.

I'm not sure which island it's on. If I raided rashly, I guess it would have been discovered by the other party before I got close.

Time passed in a blink of an eye.

On the night after day 10.

A full moon hangs on the sea, and the sea breeze blows on the sea, raising waves.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

There was the sound of oars beating the sea.

A very ordinary sea boat quickly approached the waters of Penghu Island under the vigorous oars of the boatmen.

A middle-aged scholar, standing on the deck with a folding fan in his hand, looked at the faintly visible island in the distance and smiled.

"Your Highness, we have arrived!"

A short man wearing a bunt walked behind the middle-aged scholar and said something in a low voice.

The middle-aged scholar looked back at him, "What did you call me!"

The man froze for a moment, then stretched out his hand to pat his mouth.

"No, it's Mr. Wang!"

The middle-aged scholar nodded in satisfaction.

"Remember, we are from Hanwang, and I am Wang Jie, the counselor of Hanwang."

The man chuckled, then looked at the island in the distance and said, "Sir, do you think they will believe us!"

The middle-aged scholar smiled slightly, waving the folding fan in his hand and said in confidence.

"Although these Japanese pirates claim to bear the reputation of Japanese pirates, most of them are lackeys raised by those maritime merchant families in the mainland. Those real Japanese pirates are just some thugs under their hands."

"They went to sea to become Japanese pirates because they wanted to use the name of Japanese pirates to smuggle goods."

"But this kind of thing is not allowed by the imperial court. Once the imperial court sends troops to seal the sea, they will surely die!"

"In order not to fail, they need a backer, a backer who can allow them to go to sea and trade in a fair manner."

"And our King Han is the best backer."

This middle-aged scholar was made up by Zhu Zhangui.

And the short and thick man next to him was none other than Li Hu, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Navy.

Originally, after getting the news that these Japanese pirates held a meeting in the Penghu Islands, Zhu Zhangui wanted to make a big siege, and directly came to capture the thieves and the king first.

But the next day news came from his father-in-law's side that they had captured the envoy sent by the King of Han to the south.

What made Zhu Zhangui even more unexpected was that the party was actually held by the King of Han.

The purpose is to unite all Japanese pirates and defeat Zhu Zhangui's navy in one fell swoop.

Of course, it would be even better if Zhu Zhangui could be killed.
