    Han Huanzhang led his fleet to Bazhang Island. According to the agreement, the captured Japanese were traded here.  Hachijo Island is an island at the southern end of the Izu Islands. Among the Izu Islands, Izu Island is the closest to the main island of Japan. Izu Island has always been a penal colony for Japanese criminals. Minamoto Yoritomo was exiled there. Hachijo Island is the most remote, far away from Japan.  The nearest Mikura Island among the archipelago is also 75 kilometers away. Such a remote island is naturally unpopular. There were originally more than a dozen fishermen on the island, but they were forcibly demolished some time ago. Now it is home to various pirate teams.  Logistics base and trading location.

    Every time Han Huanzhang makes a landing, he has to come here. After all, there are a lot of men, women, and children on board, and eating, drinking, and urination are all problems, which seriously affects combat effectiveness and mobility.  In addition, supplies are also very important. For example, Han Huanzhang's ship is powered by steam and sail, and needs to be replenished with coal regularly. Then there are meteor bombs, which need to be replenished in time after they are consumed.

    Ma Fen happened to be at Bazhang Island these two days. As soon as Han Huanzhang got off the boat, he saw Meng Jiu approaching. After saluting, he whispered that Captain Ma was inviting, and Han Huanzhang followed Meng Jiu happily.

    Arriving at a temporary camp surrounded by barbed wire, Han Huanzhang saw the familiar log barracks. As soon as he entered the door, Ma Fen had been waiting behind the door. When Han Huanzhang crossed the threshold, he gave him a bear hug.  Then laughed.

    Han Huanzhang quickly took off his helmet, threw it on the table, and shouted:

    "It's so suffocating! This helmet is cool, but it's too stuffy." Han Huanzhang always wears a helmet when he appears in public. This is to be careful, so as not to reveal the province. After all,  The pirate team here on Hachijo Island is very large. Han Huanzhanggui is the leader of the "returnees", but it must not be known that he has changed his career to piracy.

    Ma Fen pointed to the gray helmet hanging on the wall and said with a smile:

    "I'm not the same! I wear this helmet when I go out." Ma Fen came here to work quietly, and no one could recognize him. If it was known that Ma Fen had arrived at Hachizhang Island, God knows what kind of news would be spread outside.  !  Ma Fen didn't like the shiny enamel white armor. Whether it was scales or helmets, they were all made of hot-dip galvanized iron.

    After Han Huanzhang took off his blindfold, it became much more pleasing to the eye.  What is different from usual is that Han Huanzhang now has a big beard. Ma Fen can't tell for a while whether the Han Huanzhang in front of him has more of an artist's temperament or a pirate's temperament. After looking up and down, Ma Fen  Jokingly:

    "Our great artist is not bad. He seems to be a pirate leader. He did a good job this time! It is said that he did it very beautifully the first two times. He is a pirate in white armor. Unfortunately, he is  The image of a one-eyed dragon, otherwise, Japanese girls will be obsessed with you, the king." Ma Fen's ridicule contained positive comments.

    Ma Fen¡¯s words made Han Huanzhang feel very comfortable. Although we are just a guest pirate, no matter how we say it, we are still a top pirate with knowledge and cultivation. We are a pirate among artists and an artist among pirates.  Han Huanzhang felt proud and said proudly:

    "Isn't it just a matter of going ashore and arresting a few people! It's not a big deal, I take action myself, little Japan can only be abused. Having said that, after all, dealing with civilians is not a big deal, and challenging 'sex' is indeed a bit bad, damn! It's really not exciting enough  'Exciting'. As for the Japanese girls, they are short and ugly, and they are even more unbearable to look at after putting on makeup, which makes them lose their appetite at all. Hehe, more and more people are arrested, and this time nearly 500 people were arrested.  Boss Ma, please pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. Bring the money." Han Huanzhang looked like he was eager to count the money. Only then did he remember that there were casualties this time, and his mood turned to depression, and he said  : "Damn! This time I had a bad idea. I encountered a group of Japanese samurai who were desperate for their lives. Three of their men died and more than twenty were injured. These people have to stay on this island to recuperate for the time being."

    When Han Huanzhang started his first pirate business, he was extremely nervous, fearing that he would encounter fierce resistance and have a bad start. But in fact, the whole process was simply relaxing and enjoyable.  The second time was similar, even easier than the first time, and there was no resistance at all.  Han Huanzhang made Han Huanzhang think that the Japanese were all sheep. Forced demolition had always been difficult, but actually doing it was as easy as organizing a group tour.  It turns out that the professional skills of pirates are just that. As long as you are brave enough, you can win the reputation of a well-known pirate in the world with little effort.

    Unfortunately, the two consecutive good fortunes failed to continue. During the third operation, they encountered fierce resistance. A group of Japanese samurai tried to drive their "Yel¨¹" gang into the sea. The situation was once critical.  , but of course it is impossible for the Japanese to succeed.  A meteor bomb hit them here, and the resisting Japanese samurai were stunned. Then dozens of Zhuge Liannu were fired at once, and more than eighty Japanese samurai were quickly wiped out.  Check the number of people afterwards, subordinatesThree people died and more than twenty people were injured. Three of them were seriously injured, while the others were slightly injured. Based on this calculation, the cost was within control.  But after all, it was a minor setback. Han Huanzhang felt that the death of his subordinate was a big deal after all, and he couldn't hide it from Ma Fen.

    In Ma Fen¡¯s eyes, it was normal to have casualties, so he said with relief:

    "This casualty is nothing. It is normal to pay a price for operating on someone else's territory."

    When Han Huanzhang heard this, he said, yes, Ci is not in charge of troops, so these casualties are nothing!  As a result, Han Huanzhang felt at ease.  However, this time is a lesson after all, and the protection must be strengthened. With this thought, he rushed to Ma Fen and said:

    "The three people who died this time were not equipped with scale armor, so you have to help me equip them with scale armor. I don't want to see my men die again."

    It is worth mentioning that the armor made by Mao Geng is still very powerful. Han Huanzhang and the two white women wore white armor. Ordinary minions did not get the treatment of white armor, but half of them were equipped with Mao Geng.  Stamped scale armor, the only difference between their scale armor and white armor is that there is no enamel layer.  It is also stamped scale armor. Each scale is stamped with reinforcing ribs. In this way, it is light and thin but has sufficient strength. In addition, after being hot-dip galvanized, it will not rust easily. Although the gray-white armor  It's not as eye-catching as white armor, but it's still very attractive. It's certainly much better than the traditional scale armor of the Song Dynasty.  Therefore, when faced with the desperate fight of the Japanese samurai, the superiority of Mao's scale armor was revealed. If the scale armor had not been matched, the three men might not have died.

    "Who do you think you are! You are a pirate leader, do you know that? It is good for a group of pirates to be equipped with half of the scale armor. If you really have all the scale armor, the Japanese will suspect that you are the official army of the Song Dynasty.  .¡±

    "That's true!"

    "Be careful! There is nothing wrong with being careful in everything. Don't touch the Japanese head-on. If you can catch them, catch them. If you can't catch them, don't force them. Anyway, the effect will basically come out."

    Does it work so quickly?  We haven¡¯t had enough yet!  Han Huanzhang then asked about the performance of other pirate teams, and then got some data from Ma Fen. It must be said that these data were very frustrating, because Han Huanzhang's performance ranked last, and Lin Gui had captured four thousand people.  After many days of fighting, Bu Biao's team was not bad, having captured more than 2,000 people, while Han Huanzhang's team only captured less than 1,500 people.

    Han Huanzhang was so excited.  He didn't even think about it. Lin Gui and Bu Biao were both old bandits. Their men and horses cooperated tacitly and their command was good, so they were certainly better than Han Huanzhang.

    Han Huanzhang was unconvinced and refused to admit defeat. The result was that Han Huanzhang decided to do something big next.

    Han Huanzhang decided that he must find a bigger town next time. Of course, it must be in the economic center of Japan, so that he can quickly improve his performance.  In the first three times, Han Huanzhang also met several Japanese landowners. What is despicable is that the assets of those small Japanese landowners are not enough. Han Huanzhang originally wanted to make a fortune by hunting local tycoons, but there are simply not enough wealthy households in the village.  He calls it "local tycoon", which is so disappointing.  Perhaps it is true that the village is too small and the location is too remote. If we still target the same village as before, we will lack the passion to rob it.

    The fourth operation of the "Yel¨¹" gang's pirate fleet was launched as scheduled. After investigation and selection, this time the "Yel¨¹" gang's target was a small town far away from Kyoto. According to estimates, there should be about two hundred households.  There will be less than a thousand people, and Han Huanzhang thinks it won't be a big problem to deal with a thousand people at once.

    At first, the operation went quite smoothly. Most of the people in the town were driven to a flat ground. But suddenly, an accident happened. The scouts who were released from a distance were surprised to find that more than two hundred Japanese samurai suddenly appeared from the horizon.  One by one, there were thirty samurai riding on horses, most likely Japanese cavalry.

    After receiving the report, Han Huanzhang immediately gathered 200 people to fight. Although the situation was a bit out of control, Han Huanzhang was still not ready to let go of this town. There was a rich man in this town, and some merchants were also quite wealthy. At this moment  He made up his mind that the property should be robbed and the population should be captured.

    There was a rumbling sound in the west of the town. It can be imagined that it was the meteor bombs exerting their power. In addition, twenty grenades were obtained from Ma Fen this time. It can be expected that with the meteor bombs plus grenades and Mao's scale armor plus  Zhuge Liannu, it was only a matter of time before he destroyed this group of unscrupulous Japanese samurai. As for his own casualties, in Ma Fen's words, it was worth paying a small price.

    The fighting was lively in the west, and there was no idleness here either. The crowd gathered in the field became denser and denser, and the belongings on the carriage were piled higher and higher. Han Huanzhang, who thought he was in command, was wondering whether he was going to draw lots and behead him.  ?Pang Laosi ran over in embarrassment. He was wearing his helmet crookedly and his scales were scarred. What was going on!

    Pang Laosi finally knew how to measure, and when he came to Han Huanzhang, he whispered:

    "The Japanese have cavalry and reinforcements behind them. Brothers, they can still hold off for a while. Come on!"

    The battle there was fierce from the beginning. The samurai were not intimidated by the meteor bombs. Not all the meteor bombs fired in the first three times exploded. It seems that the Japanese figured out some of them.  Dao Dao, so although the effect of the meteor bomb this time was good, it did not completely suppress the Japanese samurai. The Japanese cavalry began to show off their power. The Japanese cavalry were wearing armor, and Zhuge couldn't even kill him with one hit. Fortunately, he threw it in time.  The grenade was released, killing and wounding most of the cavalry, but the Japanese samurai fought with their lives, and the pirates could not kill all the samurai for a while. Soon after, reinforcements came, and the pirate team led by Pang  As soon as the second brother saw something was wrong, he immediately ordered Pang Laosi to report to Han Huanzhang that the situation was not good and he should run away as soon as possible.

    Han Huanzhang was also panicked at this moment, but at this time he could only force himself to stabilize his mind. While asking people to gather the team, he also ordered to kill all the wealthy and local tyrants.  The Japanese crowd in the gathering heard what Kobayashi Takeo said. The local tycoons in Cha XX did all kinds of evil and ran rampant in the countryside. King Yelu went out of his way to eliminate harm to the people, and distributed all his property and fields to the poor, and so on.

    Then Han Huanzhang led the crowd to evacuate. This time, more than seventy brothers who blocked the attack did not come back. According to the Japanese, the 'jade' should have been broken.

    After Han Huanzhang got on the boat, he was just in shock when another piece of bad news came. There were many Japanese ships coming from both sides, as many as fifty or sixty, large and small. This time it seemed that he was troubled.  .
