Chapter 1159

A few days later, after making arrangements for the guard, Jiang Hao took his three daughters out to sea. This time, it was not for fun, but to investigate the surrounding area.

Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the hardest-hit areas for Japanese pirates. Many Japanese pirates have seized coastal villages and even towns as their strongholds. Dongfang Bubai’s stronghold is just one of the larger ones, and there are more scattered pirates. Only a few dozen people.

Don't underestimate the dozens of Japanese pirates. It has been recorded that a group of more than 70 Japanese pirates killed more than 4,000 soldiers and civilians of the Ming Dynasty. They burned, killed and looted all the way, and almost reached Nanjing.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Jiang Hao stretched out his hand, and there were countless seagulls flying around. From time to time, one of them landed on his hand, stroked the seagull's head, tamed it with animal communication skills, and issued an investigation order, and raised his hand , this little guy flew towards the distance.

In this way, Jiang Hao worked hard all morning, and he tamed 50 seagulls before giving up. Seagulls are spirits of the sea and are not afraid of storms. These scouts are more effective than any scouts.

The three girls stood on the deck and looked at Jiang Hao taming the birds standing on the roof. Although they knew that their son had this ability, they still felt amazing.

The flying range of seagulls is very wide. In the next few days, Jiang Haolu received reports from seagulls one after another, and he had a more intuitive impression of the situation along the coast. It was like launching a full monitoring satellite. Jiang Hao also had an idea of ​​what to do next. plan.

Five days later, when he returned to Putuo Wei, Jiang Hao drew several red circles on the map and tapped them with his finger, "I'll start with you first."

The entire Putuo guard is alive now, and the soldiers are stepping up their drills. There are swords and shields, spears, bows and arrows to fight, and artillery shooting. Jiang Hao got out the red cannon and asked people to build a new type of gun mount. Installed on two warships, the soldiers were ordered to go to sea to train and test guns.

The workshop stepped up the production of shells and gunpowder. As long as they were produced, they would be loaded onto the ship in boxes. After more than 20 days of busy work, everything was ready. Jiang Hao had already waited impatiently. On the second day, he took two five-masted warships and took all the soldiers to sea.

At the bow of the boat, Jiang Hao looked at the endless sea in the distance, took out his binoculars, and there were a few thousand households standing behind him, Shen Yi looked at Jiang Hao, and asked, "My lord, who are we going to hit this time? "

"On the map." Jiang Hao said.

Xiao Xiao, who was wearing a guard uniform next to him, immediately took out a map, opened it together with Ping'er, and held it up in front of everyone. Jiang Hao stepped forward, pointed to the map and said: "This is Xiangshan, here, here, and the coast of Xiangshan. There are several places here, all of which have gathering places of Japanese pirates, ranging from three to four hundred people, and ranging from dozens of people, I am going to take them down first."

"Does your lord know how many of them there are?" Xu Quan asked curiously.

"Hehe, I even know how many ships they have, how to build a stronghold, and how to defend against the enemy." Jiang Hao said to himself.

Hundreds of households were amazed that the garrison master had been out for a few days and came back with so much information. He didn't know how to investigate and how much eyeliner he invested. They didn't know that Jiang Hao's eyeliner was the seagulls flying in the bow of the ship.

After traveling for a day, he was resting in a bay. During dinner, Jiang Hao said to a few hundred households: "Let's go before dawn tomorrow, act before sunrise, and take the first target."

"Yes, my lord."

"Tell the brothers, in addition to sharing, as long as you kill a real Japanese and see the head, you will be rewarded with a tael of silver. You can cooperate, and they have the final say on how to divide it." Jiang Hao said.

Several hundreds of households cheered up. This is a naked temptation of money. You know, the monthly salary of soldiers is only 4 renminbi, so killing a real Japanese can cost one or two renminbi, which is more profitable than doing anything else.

"My lord, isn't one tael too expensive?" Shen Yi asked.

"Hahaha," Jiang Hao laughed a few times, "It's not expensive, one tael of silver can kill a Japanese pirate, I am willing to spend a million taels of money to kill his head, so I will continue to order, but remember, as long as you are a real Japanese, Han thieves, women and children don’t count.”

"yes!"

After the news spread, the soldiers on the two ships all cheered, and their spirits were high, as if they saw the white silver in front of them.

morning hours.

Before the sun came out, the two boats were already moving towards a gathering place of Japanese pirates. This gathering place was originally a fishing village by the sea.

In the offshore area, I heard that two ships, both three-masted ships of 200 materials, approached secretly. After approaching, they immediately started a boarding battle, and threw the grapple and cable to grab the sides of the two ships. I can't even run away.

The sudden noise woke up the Japanese pirates who were watching the ship, and someone rushed out immediately. After seeing the Ming army's ship, they called the police loudly, "The Ming army is here, come out and fight them."

Jiang Hao looked at it, and said to the three women beside him: "You three go to the first ship, kill everyone on board, and I will go to the second ship."

As he spoke, he touched the deck of the ship with his feet, jumped up a few feet high, tapped the mast again, and flew towards the ship like a roc bird.

It was the first time for the soldiers to see Jiang Hao performing martial arts, and their eyes widened in shock, "Oh my God, it turns out that our defensive martial arts are so powerful, we can fly."

"Hey, look, the three guards next to your lord have also passed by, stepping on the cable all the way, so handsome."

Jiang Hao landed on the deck of the ship, and several Japanese pirates rushed towards him with their knives raised. Jiang Hao didn't pay attention to these small fish and shrimps at all. It took a deep breath.

The three of them were also unambiguous, and quickly killed several Japanese pirates on that boat with one sword. At this time, the two boats began to close together, and the soldiers jumped over, searched the boat, and cleared out several Japanese pirates. The boat was taken over by them.

You know, a large ship is expensive to build, even if there is no other gain this time, they are worth the trip with two ships.

"My lord, a lot of supplies were found in the cabin, including food, silk and porcelain. It doesn't look like a batch of things, but it looks like they were collected by robbers." A hundred households came to report.

Jiang Hao smiled coldly: "It must be the coastal people who robbed, let's go, let's clean up the Japanese people in the gathering place."

The two transfer ships approached the pier, and the muzzle of the huge red cannon was aimed at the direction of the gathering place. Jiang Hao ordered: "Use flower bombs, give Lao Tzu a bombardment for two rounds first, and then the commando goes ashore, regardless of whether it is real or not. Anyone who resists will be killed."

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Tongues of flame shot out from the muzzle of the gun, and huge shells flew out, and exploded immediately when they flew into the village. The wooden houses in the village were immediately blown to pieces.

There were also many people who woke up and rushed out holding their knives, but just after running a few steps, another bomb flew over, and it just happened to hit this guy.

"Crack~poof!"

The Japanese pirate was smashed into meat paste, and his flesh and blood were smashed all over the place.

"boom!"

The shell hit the foundation of a house and exploded again, knocking the house out of the way.

At this time, the gathering place was in chaos. Some people ran away in a panic, some were crying and screaming. After two rounds of bombardment, the gathering place was bombed beyond recognition. Jiang Hao gave an order, "Go ashore and kill the Japanese."

"Kill!"

More than 500 soldiers raised their knives and guns and killed the village. They would kill Japanese people as soon as they saw them. Jiang Hao had already formulated a strategy for them before. Swords, shields, long guns, bows and arrows, a group of three, a group is the smallest combat unit , Facing Japanese pirates in this way, they have both defense and offense, which can take a lot of advantage.

A bloody Japanese pirate with half a bald head held a samurai sword in his hand and confronted three guardsmen. At this moment, this guy opened his eyes wide and roared "Baga" and raised his sword towards a The guards cut off.

"Eight, are you?"

The shield soldier raised his shield to block, and the pikeman behind him shot a shot. The Japanese pirate was so frightened that he could only retreat. At this time, the archer behind him shot, and an arrow hit the Japanese in the ribs, and the Japanese pirate retreated in pain. After a few steps, the wooden clogs on the feet made a rattling sound.

"Ba Ga!" the Japanese pirate roared.

"I've said it all, eight, you, ghosts and ghosts have an egg." Several guys rushed up to the Japanese pirates together. This is a tael of silver. Even if three people share it, it is almost enough for one person's monthly salary. up.

"block."

"Archery."

"Spurt."

Pfft~~!

The Japanese pirate looked at the long spear pierced into his chest, and fell down unwillingly. Before he could pick it up, the sword and shield soldier jumped over and chopped off the guy's head with one knife.

The sword and shield soldier lifted the Japanese pirate's head with a grin, and said with a smile: "Look, this guy has a pig's tail, which is just for carrying it. Did he know in advance that one day he would be beheaded? That's why you keep your hair like this?"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and find the next one. I think Li Ermao's bastards have killed two of them. If you don't grab them, they will probably be gone." The archer cursed.

"Really, that's right, look for it quickly, it's all money." Said the sword and shield soldier, tied the head with a rope, hung it directly on his waist, and ran forward.

Such scenes abound in the entire battlefield. Jiang Hao’s white rice and big fat meat are not free. After eating full food for a month in a row, the bodies of these soldiers are much stronger than before. Coupled with intensive training, There is also a reasonable fight and cooperation, which is not a bit stronger than the previous combat power.

I really thought that Jiang Hao’s money was paid for nothing. This is called raising people. Only when soldiers are raised can they have combat effectiveness.

Jiang Hao watched from a distance, but he didn't have any helpers. He would only do it unless someone with high martial arts skills appeared. It was to cultivate the combat power of these soldiers.

Lan Fenghuang stood beside Jiang Hao, looked at the battlefield in the distance and said: "It is said that the Japanese are powerful, and one can beat a hundred. I don't think so."

Jiang Hao said softly: "Let me tell you a story. A farmer picked up an egg in the Eagle's Nest and let his hen hatch. After the eagle was born, it stayed with the hen all day long, but it never flew again. , he has degenerated, he does not know that he is an eagle soaring in the blue sky, looking down at the world, his temperament has been castrated."

"Just like before, when Daming's army saw the Japanese, they only had fear in their hearts and only wanted to run. Do you think it is possible to win?"

Ping'er has a very good relationship with A Diao, the eagle eagle. Recently, she was the one who was feeding it, and asked, "Master, what happened to that eagle in the end."

"A passer-by saw the eagle and thought it was a pity, so he bought it with money. He wanted to train the eagle to fly to the sky. He let it fly again and again, but the eagle fell down after only a few flights. Peck on the ground like a hen."

"In the end, the person who bought the eagle hugged the eagle to the edge of the cliff and threw it out with all his strength. The eagle felt the crisis, and finally spread its wings, soared into the sky, and flew into the blue sky."

Xiao Xiao looked at Jiang Hao after listening, "Master is the one who threw the eagle off the cliff. These people used to be afraid of fighting. You used a few methods to stimulate the blood in their bones."

Jiang Hao chuckled, "The only one who can make people work hard is Qian Er! This is the fastest and most effective method."

The Japanese pirates in the village were slaughtered, and they began to search. In the warehouse, they found more things, all kinds of things. It seemed that they were robbed. Jiang Hao ordered them to be shipped. A lot of gold and silver was produced, estimated to be no less than two or three thousand taels. This is a huge income, and several hundred households laughed.

The other dead Japanese pirates were also searched, and all valuable things were gathered together.

As for those heads, Jiang Hao ordered hundreds of households to make statistics and settle the settlement on the spot. As long as they bring back the real Japanese heads, they can be exchanged for a tael of silver directly. To continue to fight again.

The place where the Japanese pirates gather is still on fire. Jiang Hao and the others have already sailed away, ready to attack the next target, and make a brief inventory in their minds. This time they robbed the Japanese pirates and got two three-masted ships, two or three thousand taels of gold and silver, and A large amount of materials should be worth no less than two or three thousand taels.

No wonder everyone said that once the cannon fired, it was worth ten thousand taels of gold. Jiang Hao became more interested in this kind of robbery.

The boat sailed for more than an hour, and came to another place where Japanese pirates gathered. As soon as he took out the village and entered the shooting range, Jiang Hao shouted: "The cannons are firing, blast his mother! Give him a hard bombardment."

"Boom boom boom!"

One by one shells fell on the Japanese pirate gathering place, and the whole gathering place was blown up immediately.
