On the large ship coming from Kunshan, Master Zhao was bored when his subordinates reported that they had captured a ship.

And he is a rich man.

"Yeah." Young Master Zhao jumped up and walked out of the cabin happily. Now it was finally his turn to be the bad guy.

The guards brought the young man and the middle-aged man on board.

"Young man, you look familiar." Zhao Hao glanced at the young man with the help of the lantern.

The young man lowered his head in fear. He saw that the people who had captured him were all wearing khaki uniforms.

I don't know where these gunmen came from, but they couldn't be pirates.

The middle-aged man said sternly, "I advise you to stop immediately. We are people you cannot afford to offend!"

"Oh." Young Master Zhao couldn't help but laugh. "Why does this tone sound so familiar? Could it be Mr. Liu's dog?"

"..." The middle-aged man thought he was in trouble when he heard this. From the tone of his voice, he knew that this was the master's enemy.

The young man's face turned pale, and he almost said, "Yes, it is me."

How cunning are Zhao Hao's eyes? He immediately understood that this was sent by Mr. Liu to contact the pirates.

"It seems so." Young Master Zhao was overjoyed, rubbing his hands and smiling at the two of them:

"Welcome, welcome. A warm welcome. I will give you the warmest hospitality..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly saw a ball of red light exploding in the night sky.

"Wow, so beautiful." Zhao Hao was in a good mood and became playful.

He looked at Gao Wudao in confusion: "But what does this mean?"

Brother Gao's face turned red from holding back his anger. After a long while, he said in a muffled voice, "Urgent help, everyone mobilize."

“Damn it, why didn’t you say so earlier!” Young Master Zhao rolled his eyes and hurriedly ordered Gao Wu: “Brother Gao, you must keep an eye on these two. If you let them run away or get killed or injured, I will… never talk to you again.”

"..." Brother Gao twitched his lips a few times and nodded silently.

In fact, he wanted to tell Zhao Hao not to worry. General Jin had assigned a veteran of the Qi Family Army to be the squad leader on each ship. When they saw the signal, they would immediately lead their men and prepare for battle.

But these words are so complicated that even Brother Gao can't put them into words.

He had no choice but to lower his head silently, picked up a prisoner in one hand and went into the cabin, leaving the young master to experience it himself.

~~

After a while, the large and small boats hidden in the reeds appeared.

Torches were finally lit on those ships. Mixed combat teams composed of former soldiers of the Qi Family Army, men from Caijia Lane, and gunners from the Kunshan Gunner Battalion all stood on the deck, waiting for Master Zhao's orders.

"Sir, everyone is ready!" On the adjacent boat, an old soldier of the Qi family army, who only had one arm left, shouted to Zhao Hao, "Please give the order!"

These were the soldiers trained by Qi Jiguang, who took obedience to orders as their first duty. They would never move before Zhao Hao gave the order.

Zhao Hao ordered all ships to proceed at full speed.

"Everyone." Before they reached the island, Master Zhao shouted to his men, "Our life-saving food in Kunshan was stolen by the pirates on the island! The benefactor who sent us the food was also captured by the pirates! So I order you to rush to the island, kill the bandits and save people!"

After all, this was the first time to mobilize before a battle, and since he was still young, Mr. Zhao felt that his words did not have much effect.

It's not as exciting as when I said 'all troops attack' just now, at least that was cool.

Well, luckily I have a trump card.

He then asked the one-armed old soldier, "How much is the reward for the Qi family army to kill the bandits?"

"My lord, the commander-in-chief has stipulated that each team will be rewarded with thirty taels of silver for killing one Japanese pirate!" the old soldier answered proudly.

Immediately, there were sounds of people gasping for air on each boat.

You know, the Ming army's reward for a head was three taels of silver. A few years ago, the Japanese invaders in the south and the barbarians in the north were rampant, and the court gritted its teeth and raised the reward to five taels of silver in order to encourage the soldiers to kill the enemy.

The reward offered by Qi's army was six times the official reward...

It seems that even someone as powerful as Marshal Qi cannot do without money.

In an instant, Master Zhao was no longer ashamed of his ability to make money.

He then shouted to all the soldiers, "Then follow the Marshal's reward. Kill or capture a bandit alive and you will get a reward of thirty taels of silver!"

"Oh!" Everyone's eyes lit up and their blood boiled.

It seems that the bounties offered by Zhao Hao and Qi Jiguang are the same, but can the bounties offered by Japanese pirates and sea bandits be the same? !

Ten pirates can't defeat one Japanese pirate!

This money is much easier to make than Qi's army!

As soon as the ship docked, everyone jumped down screaming and rushed out in a swarm.

The veterans of the Qi family army were too late to regroup...

Zhao Hao looked very upset.

Sure enough, it is not enough to rely solely on the Qi family army to lead the troops, they need to be trained.

~~

On Dalei Island, the bandits woke up when they heard the gunshots, and hurriedly put on their shoes, picked up their weapons and rushed out to check.

Since their leaders were not around, they didn't know what strategy to use to fight the enemy.

Seeing that their own people were being chased, they rushed forward and started a group fight with Wu Ji's guys.

Although the pirates were numerous and powerful, most of them were drunk and their hands and feet were weak, so they could only exert 30% of their full fighting strength.

Wu Ji's guys had been holding it in for three days and were filled with anger. The bounty also made their blood boil, and they were able to exert 120% of their full fighting power.

As a result, after a fierce fight, Wu Ji's men actually gained the upper hand and killed the bandits without any resistance.

The pirates were not an army, so how could they be bound by military discipline? When they saw the heavy casualties, they immediately ran away.

As a result, everyone ran, all rushing towards the pier.

Unexpectedly, the militia from Kunshan County swarmed over and blocked their way.

"Surrender, we surrender!"

Seeing that the other party was lying in ambush, the bandits immediately made a wise choice. They dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground and covered their heads with their hands.

You can tell at a glance that he has extensive experience in this area.

Seeing the pirates kneeling down and surrendering, the Kunshan militia was of course eager to help. After all, the reward for killing them and capturing them was the same.

The Wuji guys who were chasing after them were very angry because the young lady hadn't set a reward for the prisoners...

"Who are you?" he shouted across the kneeling prisoners.

"Come to rescue your people!" the Kunshan militia said proudly.

"Humph, I don't need you to save me!"

"Without our young master transferring the bandit leader away, would you have been able to win so easily?"

"We can still win!" Wu Ji's guys said stubbornly.

Hearing the two sides bickering like children, the veterans of Qi's army were at a loss whether to laugh or cry. What was going on?

"We're at war, be serious!" The veterans kicked the militiamen on the buttocks and told them to quickly tie up the pirates.

Suddenly, one of Wu Ji's men shouted that some pirates had escaped from the woods.

Everyone saw several pirates coming out of the woods in the south and rushing onto the dock in a few steps.

By chance, Zhao Hao just got off the boat and went onto the dock.

He thought the battle was over and wanted to quickly go find Miss Jiang.

Then he saw those pirates rushing towards him.

Gao Wu quickly pulled him behind him and rushed out with his sharp sword!

Unexpectedly, four gunshots were heard nearby, and the pirates were all killed...

Master Zhao looked in the direction of the voice in confusion.

Jiang Xueying quickly hid the smoking pistol behind her and pointed at the maid Xiaoyun who was holding two guns beside her.

Well, she fired the gun.
