Chapter 136: Busy Years

It is not easy to say that pirates are not easy. They have to go ashore to plunder when they are cold. In fact, this is the same as nomadic peoples always choose to enter the pass to plunder in winter, because in winter, every household always saves some food and can be grabbed, especially around the end of the year, which is the time when the items are most abundant.

It is just right for pirates to choose this time. I saw more than 200 people working on the coast, but these twenty pirates didn't take them seriously at all. Whether it was a garrison or a commoner on the coast of Shandong, they were like pigs and sheep.

As a result, these people shouted and jumped off the boat with weapons. According to their past experience, there were women who worked by the sea, and they could still be happy after being caught.

Who would have thought that when he jumped off the boat, the more than 200 "villages" did not scatter. Instead, he stared at several ships, working on the beach, and his hands and feet were not mentioned. The key was that he didn't know when this day was over, and he was called like a livestock every day. Why did he work hard to be a sound horse? It's not just for a happy life.

But the soldiers of Jiaozhou camp outside were so good at fighting that they were just a four-foot wooden shovel in their hands. If they wanted to resist, they would be poked to death. They would be frozen to death when they were frozen in the cold and could not move forward and retreat!

Looking at the ships that were ashore, the people on the ship were just holding weapons such as swords and swords, and the number was very small. For a moment, everyone was thinking about the captives of the horse. As long as they took the boat off, wouldn’t they be able to run away? More than 200 people’s eyes turned red. The pirates were still wondering, thinking that these "villagers" were scared, why didn’t they run away?

I heard someone shouting, and more than two hundred "villages" like wolves and tigers rushed up with the wooden shovel in their hands. To talk about this, the pirates had encountered this situation. As long as they cut a few of the leaders, the rest would disperse. Everyone was doing a desperate business, and they still had this courage.

The pirates were also unambiguous. Everyone raised their swords and shouted to hedge them. There were many Japanese people mixed in the pirates of the Ming Dynasty, all of which were ronin who had nowhere to stay in Japan. These people had special samurai training and dared to fight and rush. They were always used by the pirates of the Ming Dynasty as cannon fodder.

There were a few Japanese pirates among the more than 20 pirates who came ashore. These people held long swords and slashed them down one by one. Even if the "villagers" raised the wooden shovel to block the block, they would be cut off by the Japanese swords and the wooden shovels. Four or five people died as soon as they met. If the battle was about to end at this time, the "villagers" should flee in scattered, but they were very different from the pirates' understanding.

The captives' eyes turned red when they looked at the ship, and no one was willing to give up. What was the dead? The key was that they could not suffer alive. After the Japanese pirates were surrounded by people, the long sword in their hands could not exert any power. They only chopped down the person in front of them. More than a dozen wooden shovels were smashed over, and they were immediately knocked to the ground and were stepped on countless feet.

More than 20 pirates who were unable to figure out the situation were not yet able to react, and they were all knocked over, killing seven or eight, and the rest could not get up.

However, in the end, the prisoners did not have time to take a boat to run, because the soldiers guarding the Jiaozhou camp outside had heard the news. The captives of the sound horse could not control the ship at all, and they all caught them back.

Eight pirates died, and a few of them were also swallowed when they were carried to the garrison, and there were seven living people left. In fact, if these seven prisoners were the ones, Zhao Neng, who was guarding the other side, didn't even have to report to Li Meng, but the old military households with a lot of knowledge in the Qianhu District said that these three small boats were just here to fight for the front station to find out the news. In this case, there should be several large ships waiting outside or in the nearby harbor.

If the location is determined, the big ship will come. When he heard this, Zhao Neng led his people to torture the pirates. Sure enough, he found out that there were at least more than 400 pirates waiting nearby. These people all heard that the Lingshan Satellite has become rich recently and is preparing to come and make a fortune!

More than 400 pirates went ashore to loot, which was a big deal. Although Zhao Neng had 600 people in his hands, Feng Meng was still in charge of the Yantian and Yanchang. He was unable to take care of him and asked for support to mobilize troops. This was a big deal. Li Meng still had to make decisions in Jiaozhou.

When Li Meng returned to the Thousand Houses of Xuejia Island, people at all levels were very polite to him. You should know that Li Meng is a real fifth-rank general now. If his children want to find a background, they really have to rely on Li Meng, who is in the hometown, and ask for some care. How can they not be polite in such a relationship?

The old military households Ma Yuxing and Zhang Lin all gathered together to give Li Meng an idea. According to what they said, if these pirates inquired about the news had not returned for a few days, the large group of people would probably be on the shore soon.

Pirates generally do not specifically loot a place, but instead proceed in rotation. Naturally, these people would not know about Li Erlang from Jiaozhou Camp. These old military households were a little worried because the pirates went ashore to burn, kill and loot, which was even more powerful than Xiangma bandits. The bandits on the road might have the scruples of the villagers, while the pirates were not keeping any help, and they were wandering on the sea and were not worried about meeting each other in the future.

Moreover, the pirates' combat power is much stronger than ordinary bandits. Although Li Meng can defeat hundreds of horse bandits, these old guys are all Li Meng's confidence in defeating these pirates, and they suggest that more troops stationed in Jiaozhou come over.

Li Meng was also a little amused and wondered why this was necessary? There were 1,500 people stationed in Hefengmeng Town led by Zhao Neng. Can so many people still beat the pirates?

The seven pirates were also slightly injured and were locked in a stone house. They planned to be the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month. When Li Meng was about to lead someone to question, he saw that the Thousand Houses of Xuejia Island were busy. They were not busy celebrating the festival, but seemed to be busy moving.

Li Meng was puzzled and called a military household. The current Qianhuo House was almost all young and strong. The rest were all older people. Naturally, they all knew Li Meng. They stopped the greetings and asked directly:

"Why is the noisy thing in these thousand households?"

"Ask Lord Li, isn't this a large number of pirates coming? We all hide in the inland and talk about it after passing this limelight."

"Did Qianhu not say that the soldiers from Jiaozhou camp are coming here to garrison? You just have to spend the New Year at home?"

When Li Meng said this, the old military clerk was full of embarrassment and fear, not knowing what to say. Zhao Neng, who was beside him, pulled Li Meng a few times. Although Li Meng didn't know what was going on, he still smiled and waved his hand to let the man go.

The two of them walked forward a few steps, and Zhao Neng said in a low voice with a wry smile:

"Mr. Li, we fellow villagers don't believe in the skills of our Jiaozhou Camp at all. There is no need to tell them. Even my mother is going to move to the Li family manor to hide?"

Hearing this, Li Meng widened his eyes and thought to himself that my Jiaozhou camp is so capable and has such a brilliant record. Why is no one in the village believe in his fellow villagers? While walking towards the place where pirates are locked up, the two of them whispered the whole story. The military households in Lingshan Guard were very familiar with the inside story of the Ming army, and they all knew that even the so-called camp soldiers could not pull out anything they could fight.

The only soldier who could fight was the personal soldiers and soldiers around the commander. People from Lingshan Guards always believed that the more than 100 salt soldiers that Li Meng had pulled out from the Thousand Houses of Xuejia Island at that time should be the personal soldiers camp and the most capable force. As for the others, they just followed the trouble to make up the number of people.

Although winning the battle between the Qiu family and the Peng family is a great achievement, everyone generally believes that it is mixed with a lot of water. If the thieves are disrupted in Henan and Shaanxi, you can report the victory by beheading more than a dozen people. If you behead more than one hundred people in one battle, who would believe it?

The pirates cannot tolerate anyone being confused. Those who cannot be beaten have been taken away by their own people long ago. Those pirates who can be beaten by hundreds of people, seem to have a clear victory or defeat against these more than 100 family soldiers. It seems that the outcome is clear. It is better to move quickly. Although the New Year is important, it is better to keep your life as a surplus New Year!

After hearing this, Li Meng had no other expressions except for a bitter smile. He was also uncomfortable. After finally having a New Year, things came one by one, and he couldn't live a peaceful life. When he walked to the door of the house, Li Meng remembered something and turned around and asked a guard and said:

"Ms. Zhou has been there these days, so won't she still watch the sea by the sea, right?"

At this time, we can't let Zhu Yunyao run around everywhere. This girl is so crazy that she has the intention of regaining her fun in Kaifeng City a few years ago.

"Ms. Zhou is in the Li Family Manor these two days, following Master Guo's wife to handle New Year's goods?"

Li Meng nodded, and a chair had been set up for him in the yard. Li Meng sat down with a golden sword and nodded. Several soldiers dragged the pirate prisoners locked in the cellar up.

These people were bored for two days. When they saw the sunshine, they suddenly became excited. When they saw a person sitting on the chair in front of them, they knew that this was the leader of the affairs. To Li Meng expected, these seven or eight people did not beg for mercy, but instead cursed with no fear at all:

"Let grandpa go quickly, otherwise our leader will come over and slaughter your ward, without leaving any chickens and dogs."

"Are you blind? You know that grandpas are people over there, they are so bold!"
