PS: Thank you for the [ ] monthly pass.

God knows, after the collision of the two ships, they each tilted to the sides, and at this time, a few shells could hit each other, all of them, and hit the sky.

Maybe it's providence, Zheng Cai's last move has such a strange consequence.

Before the salvo of the two ships was over, the hull had already begun to capsize.

The people on the two boats fell to the surface of the sea like dumplings, and then, after making a very unpleasant "creaking" and "squeaking" sound, the hull of the ship was heavily buckled on the sea.

At this time, no one cared about the two flagships and the people on the flagships.

Wang Yilin's remaining seven warships passed by the Zheng family's sailors.

The two sides then opened fire heavily, but by this time, there had been some subtle changes.

Because Wang Yilin rushed into the warship, it was in a triangular formation, and after the three ships in the head collided with the enemy and capsized, Wang Yilin's flagship met Zheng Cai's flagship, and the line of the Zheng family's warship was equivalent to being penetrated.

That is to say, when the remaining seven warships of Wang Yilin's department passed by the Zheng family's sailors, there were no enemy ships in the middle, and the enemy ships were on the left and right sides.

Then, in this way, a delicate situation was formed, that is, only the Zheng family warship, which was closest to seven warships, could shell, because the ones outside were blocked by their own warships and did not dare to open fire.

The remaining seven warships of Wang Yilin's department continued to move forward in the original formation, and the eleven ships formed a triangular formation, naturally arranged in 1, 2, 3, and 5, and the first three ships collided, and the flagship of Wang Yilin in the middle collided with Zheng Cai's flagship, leaving two ships in the fourth line and five ships in the fifth line to continue to break through.

So, only two ships of the fourth line really fired at the enemy, and it was one-way shooting.

The two ships, after firing at each other with the enemy ships, were already riddled with holes, and then quickly sank.

And this tragic situation also shocked everyone in the Zheng family.

After they passed by, they fled to the northeast without looking back, and none of the boats stopped to "care" about Zheng Cai, whose life and death are now unknown.

All they want is to leave this hellish sea as soon as possible, obviously they have lost the desire to fight the enemy to the death.

……。

In fact, this tragic naval battle was very short.

It was also the time when Wu Songshui came from Qixing Island.

But the cruelty and decisiveness of the battle made everyone involved in the battle unforgettable.

Zhang Mingzhen was on the bow of the ship, looking at the dozen or so boats that capsized in the sea, and his heart was like a knife.

"Wang Yilin, you have to live!"

Zhang Mingzhen cried.

He hissed and shouted at a sea of wolves.

As soon as he arrived, Wu Song's sailors scattered in all directions to rescue people who were still struggling on the sea within a radius of more than ten miles, whether they were their own people or enemies.

Zhang Mingzhen did not stop the soldiers from spontaneously rescuing the enemy who had fallen into the water, nor did he order the pursuit to continue, but acquiesced in this fact.

Compared with Wang Yilin, Zhang Mingzhen was born in the imperial examination, upright and bold, quite strategic, in the last years of Chongzhen, he also got very close to the Donglin Party, and was a guest of honor at the seat of Cao Huachun, the eunuch of Dongchang.

But this does not mean that Zhang Mingzhen is also like the Donglin Party people who do not care about right and wrong, black and white, and only talk about gains and losses.

He has a sincere heart, even towards his enemies.

Zhang Mingzhen sent a small team of clippers to track down the Zheng family sailors who had fled northeast.

In fact, a small boat has the advantage of a small boat, although it is not loaded with artillery, but it is fast.

If it's fast, it's not dangerous.

Zhang Mingzhen knew very well in his heart that even if Wang Yilin fought for his life and fought out more than a dozen ships on the other side, the Zheng family sailor still had about fifty warships.

has already fought like this, Zhang Mingzhen doesn't want to fight anymore, because he can't imagine how he should face Wu Zheng if Wang Yilin dies in battle.

If he hit Wu Song Shui Shi again, Zhang Mingzhen didn't dare to think about it.

What he is desperate about now is to find Wang Yilin, to see people in life and corpses in death.

……。

Wu Zheng was discussing with Zhang Guowei, Xiong Rulin, and others the issue of compensation for the residential houses and land through which the railway passed.

What makes Wu Zheng speechless is that the discussion is not about how much to lose, but whether to pay or not.

This made Wu Zheng very entangled in his heart, thinking about the future generations, a three-story house in the countryside was demolished, and the starting price was two million, and various conditions had to be added.

But right now, these people are arguing about whether they should pay or not.

Wu Zheng didn't want to listen to it anymore, it wasn't worth wasting time on this kind of thing.

Thus, the word became a constitution.

There are two schemes, one is to compensate the same amount of land locally, plus compensation of five taels of silver per mu.

The other is a buyout, in which the General's Mansion buys it at the market price and gives it cash.

In order to prevent the private sector from maliciously inflating prices after the promulgation of the decree, the market price of the land purchased by the government is determined based on the average of the transaction price of the land in the first half of the month.

Since the railway is from Hangzhou to Wusong, the starting point, the end point and along the way, are already areas where land prices have soared, just like Songjiang New Town, one acre of land outside the city has been about 300 taels per acre.

Even if the poor family is, there is always a thin field of three or five acres, plus a dilapidated courtyard.

That is to say, along the way, as long as the land of the three provinces is on the route passed by the railway, the compensation may be more than 1,000 taels.

A thousand taels, compared to any government outside of Wu Zheng's power, is a huge amount of money.

Even if it is the Shuntian Mansion occupied by the Qing court at present, a good courtyard house is only about two hundred and fifty taels.

In other words, even if the poorest people really take this money to Shuntianfu, they can become the richest in the upper part of the family.

However, Wu Zheng thought of his past life from this.

This kind of painful memory made Wu Zheng unable to imagine what kind of chaos would be caused by these illiterate people suddenly getting such a huge amount of money.

This is not a welfare for the people, but an invisible poison.

It is enough to subvert a person, already established values.

The land was bought out at one time, and since then it has been idle and has no sustainable income.

Once the money is spent, or cheated out, the family has to drink the northwest wind.

Therefore, Wu Zheng patched this compensation plan, which is enough to affect the patch of future generations for a hundred years.

That is, if the people choose to buy out in a lump sum, the government will pay the silver in ten years, year by year, and give the same interest to the Hanming Bank. At the same time, Hamming Bank carried out its first share expansion, and the people whose land was expropriated also had the option to convert the compensation into shares of Hamming Bank at the price of 90% of the bank's stock price at that time.

You must know that these eleven places in the troubled times are considered paradises in the eyes of the people.

Relatively stable, relatively fair, prosperous in commerce and trade, and strong in military power.

And in this paradise recognized by the people of Jiangnan, the most attractive is Hanming Bank.
