Chapter 21
"After getting ashore, there are no weapons on your hands, and those who do not resist cannot be killed. If you can do not hurt people, you will not be hurt." Ke Lei's opponent reminded him carefully: "But if you encounter any stubborn people, you must not be ruthless."
"You must never tell ****ru's behavior. If anyone can't control the little head below him, then wait for the little head and Datou to land together!"
"Do you understand?"
"I understand!" The leader on the flagship replied loudly.
"Everyone goes back to their own ships, don't be troublesome, pass my orders to everyone, don't use the knife and say you don't know."
"Don't say that you are not prepared, you are clear?"
"clear!"
The entire pirate fleet quickly leaned on Lantau Island, and some flat sand boats rushed directly to the beach. The pirates on the boat wielded their weapons and jumped off the boat and lined up on the beach.
Other blessed boats stopped one or two hundred feet from the coast, put down the sampan boat, and the pirates who were preparing to land on the shore rowed the sampan boat to the shore.
The entire landing process went smoothly without any disturbance.
After all, Lantau Island is only part of Hainan's salt grid. There are only some salt farmers on it. The defense is empty and they are all praised. It can be said that there is no defense at all.
The entire Lantau Island is twenty miles wide from north to south and forty miles long from east to west, and is irregular in shape. The bird's eye view is a dog with a huge tail with its head high towards the island of Tahi Yamamoto (Hong Kong Island). The landing location chosen by Kere is located at the dog's belly. It is about the same distance to the north of Lantau Island.
"attack!"
"You lead people east, you lead people west, and others follow me north!"
Because of the years of salt cooking, the vegetation is destroyed. It can be said that it is endless. Most of the ground are growing weeds and shrubs. The more you go in, the more you go, the more dense the vegetation becomes.
A salt household gathering place appears in front of you, which can also be called a village.
"Roar in and control it all."
"Kill!"
"Surrender and don't kill! Sue quickly and surrender!"

As night fell, Le Zhi was full of wine and food. With Chen Xun's respect, he planned to return to the base outside the village.
The past two days have been receiving warm hospitality from Chen Xun, but Le Zhi has always kept a little vigilance and has been with guards when he comes and goes, and no longer lives in the Chen family.
The old fried dough stick is just afraid that Chen Xun will jump over the wall, so he will take him as a hostage, or kill him to sacrifice his flag.
The Song Dynasty was established for more than 100 years, and there were few major uprisings, but there were many small uprisings. There were thieves everywhere, and there were thieves who could not survive in the mountains and forests.
In Le Zhi's opinion, the Chen family is barefoot and has never even passed a Jinshi. It is impossible to rule out the possibility of a trance.
As porcelain, you will never make any mistakes when you are careful.
"Report!" A fast horse (a archer riding a horse) rushed over quickly, jumped off the horse when approaching Le Zhi and knelt on one knee.
"explain!"
"Taxi Mountain was attacked by large-scale pirates, Lantau Island has been controlled by pirates, and there are few salt households in the Nanyanzha Island in Shanghai."
"What?" Le Zhi couldn't believe it. In his opinion, it was a peaceful and prosperous era now, at least the Jiangnan region was definitely considered. In his opinion, the previous case of being pirates in Chenjiazhuang was only an exception, but why did Lantau Island get pirates again?
Haven’t all the pirates near the estuary been “infiltrated”?…
"Quick horses report to the county magistrate." Le Zhi no longer had a calm mind after speaking. As a county magistrate, he was in charge of the public security of a county. Two consecutive incidents of pirates disturbing the people under his control, and it was troublesome.
"I will not spend it here any more if the little official thinks carefully."
Seeing Le Zhi leaving in a hurry, Chen Xun's mouth slightly raised. It seems that between his captain and his greed to join the state prefecture, Le Zhi chose to keep his captain first.
Sure enough, early the next morning, Le Zhi took the 400 recruited archers and set off with his strong hands and headed east.
In the morning, Chen Xun received two carrier pigeons in a row.
One came from Dongguan County and reported some major events in Dongguan County. He also informed Chen Xun that the Dongguan County Magistrate summoned ten warships and recruited forty armed merchant ships, intending to go down the river and go to sea to support Le Zhi's battle to clear the pirates on land.
The other one is from Ke Lei, who reported the results of the Lantern Festival. After a day yesterday, plus half a day of sweeping today, Lantau Island has been controlled by Ke Lei. In his heart, Ke Lei complained about his difficulties, lack of clothing and food, lack of weapons, lack of armor, etc. At the end of the letter, he also reported that the three of them were killed in the "Beach Landing" and pointed out that all three of them were unarmored pirates. Even if the former Chen Family Haiwei was hit by many arrows, they did not die in the formation.
According to the letter, I wanted Chen Xun to give his subordinates a match.
In the era of cold weapons combat, armour and non-armor can be completely two types of troops, with very different differences.
Chen Xun was not stingy about Ke Lei's hidden request. After all, whether Chenjiazhuang can survive this disaster of being watched by jackals depends on the combat ability of Ke Lei, the pirate.
In the afternoon of the same day, two fishing boats carried 300 pairs of iron armor out of Chenjia Private Port and headed to Lantau Island.
It was evening when Lezhi, who had only walked halfway, sent people to Chenjiazhuang and asked Chenjiazhuang to prepare for the food and grass needed for 400 people in ten days to transport it to the coast of the west side of Daxi Mountain Island. He would arrange for people to accept it at that time.
This request stumped Chen Xun at once.
These officials really don’t want any shame. Even though they knew that Chenjiazhuang had also been pirates, they had just been robbed. They had just been guarding outside the village for free and they would have to eat and drink for free. Now they went to the big pirates and actually asked Chenjiazhuang to provide food and supplies.
Could it be that Dongguan County and even the entire Guangzhou belong to the Chen family?
Chen Xun was so angry that he really wanted to cut Le Zhi's face with a knife to see how thick it was.
"What should I do?" Chen Lu asked.
"These bitches are raised. Our Chenjiazhuang has a lot of grain taxes and commercial taxes every year. No village in Dongguan County pays more taxes than we do. Now we make such a request. When the money and grain in our Chenjiazhuang are blown by the strong wind," Lu Huiqi's tone was a little distorted.
"Oh, the people don't fight with officials, and the people don't fight with officials." Chen Yi shook his head and sighed: "If you could continue to persist in the imperial examination a few years ago, now you will be a Jinshi, so how can they be bullied like this?"
Chen Xun, who was so soul-wrenching, showed his early wisdom when he was young.
"What's the use of saying this now?" Chen Lu looked at his younger brother, a little dissatisfied: "If Chen Xun had not made money to support his family, what would you use to raise how many children?"
Chen Xun's younger brothers were all studying hard under Chen Yi's ardent expectations. Chen Yi looked down on the clan school run by Chen Xun and sent all the children to the county's private school. Even if he went home during the holiday, he would hire a teacher at home.
"I'm angry when I talk about this. Chen Xun, you don't care about your subordinates. Don't let your brothers go to the clan school. Now they don't learn well. They have contradicted the teacher several times."
The knowledge taught in the Chen family school is much more interesting than the Four Books and Five Classics, so it is normal for children to be attracted.
"What we are discussing now is whether to raise food and not to change the topic." Chen Xun slapped the table and ignored Chen Yi's request.
