I want to ruin the country

When they set out, many soldiers were secretly worried when they heard that they were going to attack Yunshan Island.

After all, it was the first time to go to the battlefield with real guns and swords, and not many people were not afraid at all.

The youngest of these warriors was eighteen years old and the oldest was no more than twenty-two years old. Many of them were unmarried.

There will be casualties in war. If I were killed by pirates in my first battle as a new soldier without even getting married and having a wife, that would be too unfair.

Many people even wanted to escape, but this idea was just a thought. The war was about to start, and deserting would result in the death penalty.

Some people felt relieved when they saw the calm expression of the weak General You Zongtang. If a general stood at the bow of the ship all the time, it meant that he would be the first to die.

Forget it, don’t think too much. His property and life are much more valuable than yours, but he is not afraid of death. Why should we, a commoner, be so pretentious?

Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God. Whether you can survive depends on whether God favors you!

Ten large ships lined up in a row, firing their cannons while moving forward. Sure enough, there was no obstacle under the water.

In the face of such an explosion, any obstacle would be blown into pieces!

When they were still two miles away from the dock, one of his men persuaded You Zongtang to go into the cabin.

You Zongtang pushed him away.

"A general must be prepared to die, and a soldier must not be afraid of life. If you ask me to hide in there now, what will the soldiers think of me?

Tell the brothers to move forward with all their might!"

When his subordinates saw that the Right General was really determined to live and die with the soldiers, he had nothing to say and stood closely beside You Zongtang.

The soldiers saw this and their masculine bloodiness was completely aroused. They made all preparations and went ashore to kill the enemy!

The huge explosion sounded into the Juyi Hall on Yunshan Island.

The island director, Ba Pi, is forty years old this year. He started out as a thief and ended up with nowhere to stay. So he and a dozen bandits occupied Yunshan Island and became pirates.

Yunshan Island is an important waterway for travel between the north and south of Dongting Lake. In the past, it could be said that there was an endless stream of ships carrying cloth, silk, tea, grain, and various supplies.

At first, they didn't dare to be too brazen, but after robbing a few ships of cargo, they found that this business was too easy and they could make money too quickly.

The cargo on a ship could be worth as little as a few hundred taels of silver, or as much as tens of thousands, and some valuable goods could even be worth hundreds of thousands.

Now that Ren Baopi had money, he began to recruit soldiers and expand his power.

It didn't take long for the group to grow to nearly a hundred people.

A bandit force of nearly a hundred people is not small. Not to mention a single cargo ship, they even dare to rob a small fleet.

As his fame grew, some criminals, lazy people, hooligans and ruffians came to join him.

A year later, Ren Baopi had more than a thousand men under him.

The merchants traveling back and forth were really unlucky, and six or seven out of ten were robbed and skinned.

If you see them, it's okay if you don't resist, they will just take your things away. If you resist, they will skin you alive.

So, everyone gave him the nickname "Ren Baopi", but no one remembered his real name, Ren Xiao.

The sky is high and the emperor is far away. Ren Baopi is the emperor of Dongting Lake. Whatever he says will be done. If he says someone should die at three o'clock in the morning, he will never survive until five o'clock.

People around Dongting Lake use Ren Ba Pi to swear and scare children.

Everything is good except one thing: the skinner will not have a son when he is forty.

If the first wife has no son, marry the second wife. If the second wife has no son, marry the third wife. If the third wife has no son, marry the fourth wife.

He married fifteen wives in succession, and fourteen of them gave birth to daughters.

Ren Baopi was almost in despair. Could it be that because he had committed too many sins as a pirate, God was punishing him and cutting off his descendants?

Sometimes when he was drunk he would cry loudly and slap himself in the face.

Unexpectedly, his fifteenth concubine gave birth to a son for him a month ago.

Even if you expose your true self, you will be so happy that you will go crazy!

He has a son now, and there is someone to carry on his family line. No one can say that his family line is extinct!

On the day the child was born, he gave wine and meat to the bandits, big and small.

Today is the 30th day, the baby’s full moon day, and it has become a happy day for everyone in the entire village.

The entire village slaughtered cattle and sheep, fried, stir-fried, and cooked, and held a grand banquet. Everyone congratulated the boss.

Ren Paopi is particularly happy today.

"Brothers, today each of you will be rewarded two taels of silver. You will have a day off. There will be plenty of wine and meat. Let's have fun!"

Everyone is so happy that they can drink as much as they want today!

Today, Ren Baopi didn't even arrange for anyone to stand guard on the island.

It wasn't that he was careless, because based on previous experiences, if there was no one to lead the way, the officers' and soldiers' ships would be trapped before they could go far.

Then you can only wait for him to use his 8,000-jin cannon to blow the ship to pieces, and don't even think about getting in.

Ren Baopi is very confident in the defense of Yunshan Island!

The banquet started at noon and everyone drank until dusk.

Many pirates were already drunk, and there were drunkards lying everywhere on the roadside and in the grass, unconscious.

Ren Baopi can drink a lot. He and a few bosses played rock-paper-scissors and had a lot of fun. But no matter how much he can drink, he couldn't stop drinking.

He was also nine parts drunk, but the excitement in his heart was supporting him!

When he heard the explosion, he didn't pay much attention to it at first, thinking it was thunder in the sky!

The continuous explosions made him feel that something was wrong. What was wrong was that there was not a single cloud in the sky?

"Go...see, what...is going on?"

After a while, a little guy came back to report,

"Boss, no, something bad has happened, someone is firing!"

He drank quite a lot, and his mouth was almost swollen!

Ren Baopi didn't react for a while. He was thinking, who fired the cannon? I didn't ask anyone to fire it.

He thought it was his own artillery firing!

"Fuck you! Who the hell is firing these cannons? Don't blow up my Gathering Hall!"

"Yes!"

The minions ran away!

The second in command was arguing,

"Big, big, big brother, you just lost, you have to drink!"

"Hahaha, brother, brother won't play tricks, drink!"

He tilted his head back and drank another cup!

After drinking the wine, he felt something was wrong and muttered,

"No, that's not right. It's not our cannon. Our cannon isn't that fast!"

He was right. Even if sixteen of his eight thousand jin cannons were placed together, they could not produce an explosion of this density.

The other bosses were either sleeping soundly on the table or had been carried away. The only ones who could stand were the second in command and the sixth in command.

The Sixth Master shook his head and said,

"Who fired the cannon then?"

The second in command suddenly said,

"Officials, official troops?"

Ren Baopi also woke up in shock, but he still refused to admit it and cursed,

"What the hell! This is impossible! Even if there are government troops, they can't get in!"
