Chapter 106: Sea Rebellion
The first update
Lu Xudong and the four of them all came to the secret meeting with Zeng Fan, and after listening to Zeng Fan's opinion, the four of them went back to their respective islands to hibernate. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info are all big bosses, these days of training at sea, the people they brought themselves have slowly adapted to life at sea, what they have to do is the integration of the island.
Although they are working independently, they also work together to communicate with each other. According to the regulations, they also robbed a few small ships from Goryeo and the East. The harvest is secondary, mainly as a training soldier. Of course, they didn't have anything to do to look for someone to look at the ships of the British. At this time, there were many boats coming and going to the waterway. And these pirates are not as brainless as they think, these people are all poor people along the coast, and it is not difficult to really want to enter the dock, go to the ship to carry a bag, and go into the ship to have a look.
Originally, he was afraid of people with a heart for everything, but Lu Xudong was entrusted by Zeng Fan and wanted to do it beautifully, but for a period of time, in addition to going to the sea in batches to catch some "fish", most of the rest of the time was also spent on researching foreign ships.
Originally, the ships of foreigners were divided into military and civilian, and not all ships were escorted by warships. They also have a pattern. For example, at this time, the most powerful fleet at sea was the English fleet. But they are proud, and they are not in charge of anyone's business. For example, if it is a ship of the Rakshasa Kingdom, it looks huge, but it is not difficult to fight, and even if the British warship is on the side at that time, people will not care. Not to mention the various ships of many other countries at sea.
With this level of understanding, Lu Xudong and their courage gradually increased, and they would still use the small clippers they were accustomed to, and use flexible and mobile methods to deal with those unofficial ships at sea except Britain and France.
For a time, there was a storm in the Fujian Sea, and the British fleet did not see it, because they had already explored it, and it was a few small boats like sampans, and they went to rob a medium-sized cargo ship, which was not of high value, and it was not a ship of the East India Company, so it was strange that they could see it.
And to report to the water master yamen, you don't need Zhong Xian to play Tai Chi, Ding Tong can solve it. Ding Tong didn't know who these people were, but he didn't care much about these little pirates, and he didn't rob the Chinese. Of course, some Chinese merchants also stopped doing it, and some goods were ordered by them, thinking that it would be safer to use foreigners' ships, but now it is these people's ships that are being robbed, and whose losses are counted. Ding Tong looked at the sky, have you lost my business? Even if he can't say that, however, he has also played Tai Chi and promised to send troops to step up patrols, but their ships are small and broken, and there are no guns, even if they really see pirates, in fact, they may not be able to catch up, and even if they do, I am afraid that they may not be able to win.
Those merchants were also depressed, to be honest, they also knew this, but they were really said it, and they were still a little uncomfortable in their hearts. There are really bloody merchants who want to donate some money, but looking at those broken ships, I don't think it's a family business, and they all ran away one by one. was so angry that Zhong Xian screamed behind his back.
Ding Tong is not Zeng Fan, Zeng Fan is a scholar, Ding Tong climbed out of the lowest level, even if he is a general now, but in his bones, his thoughts are also the most ordinary people. He thought differently from Zeng Fan, why the Chinese can't rob, in his opinion, pick out the most hurtful ones, and don't rob them and rob anyone.
However, he didn't know Lu Xudong and them, but he knew Zheng Shifteen, so he directly sent someone to hand over the list and asked them to stare at these families, as long as it was their ship, they didn't have to think about it, they just grabbed it.
Zheng 15 is the same as Lu Xudong, and they are not the same. In the same way, they are all dependent on officials; The difference is that they have different goals. Lu Xudong The person they followed was Zeng Fan, in fact, they had some idealistic ideas, and there were rules for them to rob people. made a plan, and then they paid more attention to other people's tactics, and they didn't care much about what they grabbed. But the more the soldiers trained, the stronger they became.
And Zheng Shifu was worried about internal and external troubles at this time, and He Zhongxian and Ding Tong, who were attached, knew the general direction, but they used Zheng Shifu more than they depended, and Zheng was a little helpless at this time. However, a little anger was directed at the hands of these people, and the methods were extremely cruel, and the entire sea area was shocked at once.
The British, of course, still don't care, at most, it's too much, but let them shoot, it's impossible. And there are people behind these big businessmen, can they do such a big business, can there be no one behind them? So He Zhongxian was called to the governor's yamen, and the pirates didn't count after robbing Goryeo and Japan, and now they grabbed Chinese merchants, which was unbearable.
He Zhongxian didn't feel anything, they were at the same level, but the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang couldn't control the water division yamen, they were two systems. But the sailor is here, and he just gives some face.
"Dashuai is right, it's just that He Mou is new to Chadao, and it is the first time he has come into contact with the water master, to put it mildly, He himself is still a landlubber, he really controls the water master, and he can fight, but I am afraid that it will not work at this time. Besides, the boat that the sailor was supposed to pull did not arrive, and the cannon did not arrive. Even the military salary is still owed, so how can He transfer troops? He Zhongxian said lazily.
This choked the governor for a moment, but the former sailor took a few large boats of things, and they patted their butts and left. Let this young master come, what can he do? Impeach? People are deeply entrenched in the capital, otherwise this position can be his turn?
"Admiral He knows that the sailor is short of ships and guns, but he can't say that there are no such things, and then he will do nothing, right? Now that the sea is bloody and rainy, no one dares to take the Fujian Sea Road, who should Ben Shuai explain to? ”
"Dashuai, the conscience of heaven and earth, now the sailors patrol the Jinghai every day, and there are many moments. I also asked about customs, and it was not much less than before. Marshal, those pirates are not fools, you say, if there are small boats, they don't rob them, why do they rob big ships with private soldiers? The official went to see it, and the pirates were dead. There are a lot of robbed property, but you said, with Zheng Shifteen's urine, why did he do this? Robbing the Japanese, how good the Koreans are, there is a lot of money, people are stupid, no one cares. Grab as much as you want. And these families have all paid protection money. "He Zhongxian knows the reason, but can he tell the governor? He had to settle this matter for Zheng Shifteen, otherwise, why did the teacher let him sit here?
"And what do you mean?" The governor was stunned when he heard this, and raised his head to look at He Zhongxian. Could it be that he still thinks there is something else going on here?
Ding Tong stepped forward and sent a dossier, which he collected after entering Fujian, these families are really doing all kinds of evil in the market, forcibly buying and selling, they shipped out the women of good families, strong men, but what they transported back was opium. It's just heinous.
