Chapter 141: Cen Hong Kong

Cengang is located west of Zhoushan. The mountains are winding, the mountain paths are rugged and narrow, the terrain is complex, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Before, Wang Zhi was afraid that the official army would launch a large-scale attack, so he had prepared some weapons and food in Cengang.

In the Battle of Cengang in history, Japanese pirates seized the danger and defended for nearly a year. However, the problem was that there were too few subordinates who fled to Cengang with Mao Haifeng, with less than 500 people. Outside, Zhang Lian and Wang Yizhi and his troops gathered pirates from Fujian and Guangdong, with a total force of more than 2,000 people.

Wang Yizhi frowned and looked up at his subordinates who had climbed up again, and muttered a few words in a low voice, such a strong attack would be too much casualties.

He failed to successfully assassinate Wang Zhi, but he was not 100% sure of this kind of thing. Unfortunately, Zhang Lian outside was too useless. He had such a great reputation that he actually indulged his subordinates to rob property instead of blocking the passage outside the town first, causing Wang Zhi to flee to Cengang.

For Wang Yizhi, at least he himself believes that today's chaos was entirely a trouble caused by Wang Zhi himself.

After the establishment of a city to trade, Wang Zhi had six adopted sons, five of whom were like Mao Haifeng, Xu Bixi, and Liu Jiao, who had independent fleets, only Wang Yizhi did not. Although he drifted on the sea all year round, he had few gains... Although it seems to be quite a lot to outsiders, compared with Mao Haifeng and Xu Bixi, it is too far behind.

At first, he was just unwilling to give up, but then gradually turned into anger and resentment, so he met Zhang Lian on the way to Nanyang to sell goods, and Wang Yizhi was moved.

Zhang Lian has a place to settle in Nanyang. If he could take Wang Zhi and replace him, Wang Zhi's position in the past few years would be his future.

Wang Yizhi is not stupid either. The reason why he cooperated with Zhang Lian was largely due to Zhang Lian's experience of rebellion. He killed Wang Zhi, Mao Haifeng, Xu Bixi, and Liu Jiao. He controlled Wang Zhi's old subordinates. That could only be because he cooperated with the government and traded. Zhang Lian had no such possibility.

"It will be dark in more than two hours." Wang Yizhi casually said to the man who was walking over.

This man is Zhang Lian. He is not tall, has dark skin, has a sharp nose, and a slightly raised chin, which looks extraordinary.

"The road is slippery on rainy days, it's really a bit troublesome." Zhang Lian pointed to the west, "Send a team of people to flip over there, and Mao Haifeng's guy is not in enough hands."

Wang Yizhi nodded casually. The one he is most concerned about now is Mao Haifeng and Wang Zhi. If he doesn't kill these two people, he might die at their hands one day and hang out at sea. He pays the most attention to money rather than loyalty, but also pays for blood debts and blood payments.

"Don't go to war with the government army." Wang Yizhi turned his head and looked at Zhang Lian. "If the government army wants to attack Zhoushan, we just want to retreat... Of course, we must kill Wang Zhi and Mao Haifeng before leaving."

"Will the official army attack Zhoushan?"

"It's hard to say, if the official army comes to attack, I will deal with it." Wang Yizhi's face was gloomy, "but this is the best opportunity. When Wang goes back to Japan, there is no chance at all."

Zhang Lian now has no idea of ​​rebelling and only occupied a few islands in Nanyang, preparing to be the Prince of Sea, but it also takes money to be the Prince of Sea. After thinking about it, he asked again: "It is said that Tan Qizhi invaded Taizhou?"

"Nonsense." Wang Yizhi shook his head and smiled after hearing this, "Tan Qizhi gave all the money earned by that guy's fleet to Beijing. No matter who he gave it to... he must be a big shot. How many money can he grab when he goes to Taizhou?"

"When will the future trade route?"

"We will definitely go through trade again." Wang Yizhi was very sure of this. "In the past two years, I heard Wang Zhi talk to his master Fangdun several times. The court has no money and Baba is looking forward to the Southeast tax silver. This time it was the devil who was attacked by the Zhejiang Inspector Censor."

"It really doesn't work. Just turn around and hand over Wang Zhi's head. Wang Bengu should be satisfied."

After all, the chaos in the southeast is nominally because the Jinghai Bo Wang Zhi defected and went out to sea, and presented Wang Zhi's head to the government... To be precise, Zhejiang Governor Hou Ruliang, Zhejiang Governor Wang Bengu, and Ningbo Governor Hu Yingjia should be satisfied.

Taking action in Zhoushan is a way to take the chestnut from the fire. After all, it is not certain when the official army will attack Zhoushan, but it is indeed a good opportunity for Wang Yizhi himself.

Wang Yizhi also thought about the turmoil in Zhoushan. If the government army knew about it, it would be possible that it would allow civil strife and would not risk attacking Zhoushan. Moreover, once Wang Zhi was offered the head of Wang Zhi, he would be charged with rebellion, and the government would probably carry out business again.

The most important thing is that Wang Yizhi got someone's guarantee.

"Hurry up!" Wang Yizhi stepped forward and shouted: "If you rub it for a while, the rain will be heavier again!"

The steep mountain road goes up, walking hundreds of steps, with a cliff on one side and a bottomless abyss on the other side. A hundred steps further is a level that can only accommodate two or three people passing side by side.

"Prepare……"

Mao Haifeng, who held the knife with one arm, had a ferocious face. He leaned out and looked at it, waved the long sword hard, "Let it go!"

The prepared boulders rolled down the rugged and steep mountain road, faster and faster, knocking dozens of pirates climbing up the cliff.

"Mao-headed leader, the west side is broken!" A big man ran to the vicinity and whispered in a low voice.

Mao Haifeng roared angrily and asked his subordinates to throw all the stones out before he quickly ran backwards. From a distance, he saw Wang Zhi, whose shoulders were still wrapped in white cloth.

"Entertainment father, retreat, retreat again, I would have known that I would have blocked other roads!" Mao Haifeng cursed: "I can only retreat to Ke Mei. If I have good luck, I can still encounter a ship..."

Although Cengang is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it also requires enough manpower. In history, Cengang fought for nearly a year, which largely depends on the terrain. The Japanese pirates blocked most of the forks of the road, and officers and soldiers could only enter one by one. The Japanese pirates were able to circumvent the back of the battlefield in a small way left in advance, so that the head and tail of the official army could not take care of each other.

Mao Haifeng only fled to Cengang with only 500 people. After two hours, he was less than 400 young and strong in his hands. No matter how favorable the terrain was, it would not play any role.

Wang Zhi looked pale and shook his head in pain, "Crazy, if you want to escape, where can you escape..."

Mao Haifeng's eyes were red, and he kicked the little tree beside him and shouted, "What's the matter with the adoptive father? Do you compare me with Wang Yizhi?"

The thirteen adopted sons are now only one Maohai Peak. Even though Wang Zhi has been scattered on the sea these years, he has not shown weakness against Xu Hai for a while, and he is also sad at this moment.

"Entertainment father, let's go." Mao Haifeng suddenly bent down, "I'll carry you away, hurry, hurry!"

"Wait……"

"Entertainment Father!" Mao Haifeng still maintained this posture and turned around and urged: "Entertainment Father, hurry up...what is that?"

Although Cengang is surrounded by mountains and complex terrain, there is a large area of ​​flat land not far away, and there is also a small town that accommodates hundreds of families. Wang Yizhi and Zhang Lian are stationed on the south side of the town.

The straight smoke pillar is rising from the town. This is not unusual, but the smoke pillar is not pure black, but it reveals a strange pink color.
