When Zhou Zheng was preparing for his wedding, Wei Xizhuang took a dozen boats and a team of more than a thousand people, not far from an island outside Kagoshima.
Holding the binoculars obtained from the Xiyi people in his hand, he looked at the simple small village on the opposite island, and sneered: "Dare to rob your grandfather's ship. I am impatient! The cannon turns around and prepares me for bombardment. , Everyone else is ready!"
He Qishou stood beside him and quickly said, "My boss, this is Kagoshima, and the Satsuma clan is in front of me. If you fire directly, I'm afraid it will shock the country."
Before Wei Xizhuang was chased by pirates on the sea, he almost wrecked the ship and suffocated his stomach. He Qishou's voice was heard no matter where he heard, and he said directly: "What kind of bird and widow, what about Laozi hitting, prepare!"
Two ships were equipped with forty cannons. Following Wei Xizhuang's orders, they immediately turned around and pointed their guns at the stockade on the island.
The Japanese people on that island seemed to feel it too. Many people stood on the shore, leaning forward and back together, saying something loudly, as if they were mocking Wei Xizhuang.
Wei Xizhuang looked very clearly in the telescope, and immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Wait for Grandpa and I will kill you. See if you guys are still smiling, shoot me!"
He Qishou didn't persuade him after seeing this. He came here to establish contact with North Korean, Japanese and other businessmen and start sea trade.
Bang bang bang
It didn't take long for Wei Xizhuang's fleet to fire, and the black shells quickly landed on the island.
Those Japanese pirates who were still pointing at Wei Xizhuang and joking listened to the sound of the artillery, looking at the dense cannonballs in the sky, suddenly screaming and running away.
Boom boom boom
These artillery shells are all blooming shells, falling everywhere near the cottage. What they blow up is the shaking of the earth, the rolling rocks, the black smoke, and also causing bursts of fire.
The pirates on the island panicked and ran around, and when they saw a few ships approaching, they were even more panicked.
A group of people gathered together for a while talking, and ran towards the back mountain one after another.
Wei Xizhuang looked in the binoculars and sneered: "Want to run? There are no doors! Encircle the island for me. No pirates are allowed to run!"
Several other ships started to circle the back of the island, obviously pursuing the pirates who were running backwards.
After a while, Wei Xizhuang saw that there seemed to be no people on the island, waved his hand, and said, "Stop the shelling and go ashore. If you don't surrender, you will rectify the law on the spot!"
"Yes!"
This is not the first pirate Wei Xizhuang has suppressed. His subordinates are familiar with the road, picking up the weapon and following the ship close to the island, preparing to attack the island.
Wei Xizhuang soon landed on the island. There were only a hundred bandits on this island. Except for those who were killed and maimed, they all scattered and ran away.
On the one hand, Wei Xizhuang ordered people to enter the stockade and at the same time ordered people to search the island for the remaining pirates.
There are more than a thousand people in Wei Xizhuang, and the pirates who wiped out more than a hundred people were effortless.
Before long, fighting broke out on the island, and many pirates surrendered and were taken to Wei Xizhuang, grunting and talking with a fierce face.
Hearing a headache, Wei Xizhuang looked behind him.
Immediately someone who understood Japanese language stepped forward and said, "My lord, they said that they are members of the Satsuma clan. We are declaring war on the Satsuma clan, asking us to release people and apologize."
Wei Xizhuang drew his ears and said, "This is a declaration of war? Cut off their heads and hang them on flagpoles."
The Japanese people did not understand Chinese, and thought that Wei Xizhuang was hesitant and raised his head more and more, murmuring threatening words.
Before they could finish speaking, they were dragged out and beheaded one by one. One by one, his eyes were wide open, and they were hung on the high poles in shock and fear.
Wei Xizhuang snorted and said, "I don't know what I'm talking about, it's really annoying."
He Qishou could only smile bitterly, and then watched the soldiers carry out boxes of things in this stockade.
The soldiers counted, and people from outside came to report and said, "My lord, it's cleaned up. There should be a few people who dived and ran away."
Wei Xizhuang didn't care at all, and looked at the big box that was brought out.
He Qishou counted it up, and said with a sigh: "The owner, 13,000 silver, 2,000 gold, other jade, pearls, grain, and some things from Xiyi, which are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver."
Wei Xizhuang raised his eyebrows, stood up and looked at him, and said, "No wonder Lao Zhou asked me to kill the bandits. All my feelings are so fat. Are there any pirates around?"
He Qishou was choked. Before he could speak, a soldier said, "My lord, according to the information we have, there are more than a dozen nearby."
Wei Xizhuang straightened up and said, "What are you waiting for, get on the boat and go!"
The soldiers didn't expect the money to come so easily. With a few shots, they could get tens of thousands of taels of income. If they were not happy, they responded and followed Wei Xizhuang on board again.
In just one month, Wei Xizhuang wiped out more than 20 islands near the Satsuma clan, wiped out thousands of pirates, seized nearly one hundred thousand taels of property, and returned to Tianjin Wei with a full load.
Wei Xizhuang didn't know how much his move caused much disturbance in the Satsuma clan and throughout the Wa country.
The Satsuma clan and the Wa country even thought that the Ming Dynasty was going to attack the Wa country. The three generations of the Tokugawa clan who had just come to the top were busy packing up their names. They panicked when they heard the navy coming from the Ming Dynasty and sent a team of envoys to the Ming Dynasty capital.
Zhou Mansion.
The Zhou family is now full of festivals, and there are always red cheers, and there are always a steady stream of family maids coming and going.
"Fu Bo, we know that we were wrong, let us come back when you are old..."
At the gate of Zhou's mansion, a couple knelt on the ground, crying to Uncle Fu.
This is the couple who had trouble with Zhou's family and decided to leave.
Fubo said indifferently: "Master pays his official duties, the second young master resigned, and the eldest young master is away. Our Zhou family is much worse than before. We are not qualified to keep you, so we can go wherever we go."
The man hurriedly said: "Fu Bo, our country has suffered a disaster, and there is nowhere to go. Please, after many years of love, let us come back. The master is the most kind and will definitely take us in. , Fu Bo beg you, please intercede to the lord..."
Fubo looked cold suddenly, took out a few pieces of silver from his arms, and threw it over and said: "From where to go back and forth, the second young master is going to get married. If you make it ugly, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Looking at Fubo's indifferent expression, the man felt cold. He knew that the Zhou family steward was quite indifferent.
However, the woman quickly picked up the silver and looked at the man timidly.
The man's eyes flashed, he gritted his teeth, stood up, turned and left.
At this moment, a maid came over and said, "Uncle Fu, there is something at the house of the second youngest wife, please take a look."
Fu Bo's indifferent face suddenly bloomed, and he smiled and said: "Okay, go and see." (End of this chapter)
