Under Han Sen's bored scrutiny, the three boats barely leaned against a small harbor in the middle of the waves, dropped anchors, and some soldiers who were good at swimming jumped naked first, pulled the boats to the shore with ropes, and tied them to the stones on the shore.

The situation on the island, on the shore and on the shore is very different from that of Yunti Pass.

There are large mountains and rocks on the shore, as well as dotted islands or peninsulas, and the island area by the sea is completely a good harbor for mooring big ships, unlike the seaside of Yuntiguan and even the entire Yancheng, which is full of swamps and tidal flats, and there is no possibility of mooring big ships at all.

Han Sen squinted at the port, although it was not big, but the sea was very, deep, and the mountains on both sides could be used to shelter ships from the wind, although it was only a small island, it was enough to park dozens or hundreds of ships in the port.

He felt in his heart that there were many purposes for cracking down on the island pirates this time, but from the current point of view, I am afraid that Lord Min will establish a foundation here to lay a foundation for the large-scale construction of sea ships and the training of sailors and soldiers in the future.

"Sea ships, there are sea ships?"

Before landing, several flag soldiers shouted together.

Following their fingers, there were two 400-gauge ships parked on the leeward side of the small harbor.

Fishing boats are not so big, only serious sea boats that can run long distances will be so big.

In fact, it is very reluctant to go to the open sea, but there will be people in the north and south who use such sea ships, such as transporting Denglai goods to the Yangtze River area.

Or transport the goods of Shuangyu to Yuegang.

This kind of small sea vessel is mostly used for this.

At the beginning of Yan Siqi's business in Taiwan, the most effective and most used was this kind of small fortune boat, which was even smaller than this ship.

A large number of Fujian immigrants brought their own living utensils, production work, seeds and grains, as well as poultry or large livestock such as mules and donkeys, and sat on small fishing boats that could only seat a dozen or twenty people, entered the deep sea, and set off from Zhangzhou or Quanzhou on the rickety fishing boats to reach the unknown land of life.

This adventurous spirit originates from the barrenness of Fujian's mountainous and few fields, and also stems from the spirit of exploration that has dared to take risks since ancient times in Fujian's coastal areas.

Fujian and Liangguang are different from the traditional agricultural conservative areas, in the Tang Dynasty, there were people from Fujian and Liangguang who went to Nanyang one after another, and in the Song Dynasty, there were more immigrants, and now there are at least millions of Han Chinese in Nanyang, mainly because in the Tang and Song dynasties, they began to immigrate to Nanyang by boat.

By the time of the Ming Dynasty, the ban on the sea in the first two hundred years was extremely strict, even if it was a good citizen, the government knew that he was not guilty, but as long as he was found at sea, he would be beheaded.

During the Jiajing period, there were records of the governor finding the sea ship and beheading dozens of people on board.

Under this strict sea ban policy, except for a few fishermen who can go out to sea to fish, before Longwan opens the sea, those who dare to run rampant on the sea are the so-called pirates.

The people in the north are much more conservative, the number and scale of pirates are not comparable with the south, even if Longwan opens the sea, the trade area in the north is concentrated in Tianjin and Dengzhou, and the rest of the places are not large, and the number of pirates is not much.

In addition, before the fall of the Yellow Dragon, the Northern Naval Division of the Ming Dynasty still maintained a certain scale of establishment, and the possibility of pirates becoming large-scale was even smaller.

At this time, it was already an unexpected surprise to be able to find two 400-material sea ships in this small island port.

Han Sen was the most surprised one, and when he said to the general manager of the soldiers: "Send some people to watch these two ships on the shore, this is a treasure, don't damage it!" ”

The style of leading the soldiers is the inheritance of the violent lineage, probably brought by Xie Xiang or Shen Liang, and immediately called a team officer, and scolded: "Donkey's goods, take your people to watch these two boats, and let people destroy a piece of the ship, and you will jump into the sea to atone for Lao Tzu." ”

"Yes, Mr. Bai." The officer also knew that the sea ship was important, and it was something that Lord Min valued, and these people's trust and respect for Min Yuanqi was almost superstitious, as long as it was valued by Lord Min, it meant that there must be something important, that is, to be spiritual, and to do this errand well.

Many soldiers began to rush ashore, and in the front row of the ship stood sword and shield bearers.

The newly made long cards that were more than one person tall were stacked in two, blocking everyone behind the shieldman.

Although there was not even a ghost in sight in front of them, it did not prevent these sword and shield men from performing these tactical moves according to the requirements and standards of training.

Even if the ship fluctuates, they try to do their best.

When the ship is stopped, the sword player is in front, and the covering pikemen and gunmen go ashore and line up respectively.

The sword pulls open the array, with the pikemen of the two flag teams in the center, and the musketeers of one flag team on the sides.

In the past two months, there have only been more than 30 guns per month, and there are only more than 60 in two months, plus more than 50 before, which is barely equipped with a total of 100 and a flag team.

Zhu Wanchun has stayed in Yunti Pass and has not left, originally said that he would buy more firecrackers for Min Yuanqi, but in addition to Nanjing, there are not many firecrackers in the four towns, and the quality is poor. Nanjing's firecrackers cannot be described as poor, and the quality is very poor.

Those officials in Nanjing are equivalent to raising hopes or demoting officials before staying in the capital, and there are few people who do things and many people who mess around. After all, Beijing's officials still have a career to run, and things are not easy to do too much, and there are many officials in Beijing, so it is also a troublesome thing to be accidentally entangled and impeached.

The bottom line of Nanjing's officials is much lower, for example, the Nanjing copper coins minted in the hands of Zhang Heming and others, the copper-lead ratio is scary, and the fingers are afraid that they can crush the inferior small money, which caused a lot of turmoil back then, that is, the officials of several people were exempted.

Needless to say, what is the quality of the firecracker made.

Min Yuanqi first did not trust the quality of Nanjing's firearms, and if he frequently blew up the chambers, he would tremble when the flag soldiers were trained, just like the firearms battalions of the Ming army.

What he wants is an elite gun that dares to put the fire gun against his shoulder and put it on his cheek, and what is the use of those who hand the fire gun far in front of him, and the bullet that shoots out does not know where it falls?

Those rotten goods are not needed, and the fire gun is insufficient, so it can be loaded by one person and one person, and the cycle does not stop, but it can increase the efficiency of the release......

The self-produced fire gun is well-constructed, the parts are made of fine iron, and the quality is reliable, the only thing that makes Min Yuanqi and even everyone have a headache is the trouble of the fire gun pipe, this problem, even Han Sen hopes to solve it as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, it backfired, nearly two months have passed, and the solution to this trouble is still far away.

The gunners are divided into one or two wings behind the pike, and due to the narrow terrain on the island, the gunners are divided into two wings in the tactical plan.

More than 100 gray-robed soldiers had already completed the formation in less than three minutes, and the entire queue was completely formed with swords, spears, and firearms.

Under the order of the general manager of the troops, the flag bearer under the general of the hundred pointed pointed the flag forward twice, and everyone began to climb up the high slope with neat steps.

The drummers began to beat the drums to balance and control the pace of the bannermen.

The sword players and spearmen in the front row are wearing armor, in fact, the armor binding rate has not yet reached this point, mainly because when the Chinese military department goes out to fight, it will allocate a part of the armor to the soldiers who are marching, which is also a recent practice.

Under the coordination of the Chinese Military Division, almost every flag team has the opportunity to go to the battlefield to gain experience in actual combat, even if it is a battle against a hundred or so remnant pirates, this is a real battle after all.

The experience gained on the real battlefield is something that cannot be obtained in training, all the soldiers in front of them are spontaneously raising their vigilance to the highest, and everyone's movements will be somewhat deformed, unlike during training, even if there are arrows flying overhead, there is the sound of fire in the ears, and even someone will be injured in every actual combat exercise, but it is still not enough to be more careful and vigilant on the real battlefield in front of you.

Even a little daunting.

Even the military attache will be a little afraid, the recent high-frequency actual combat has been constantly injured by the flag army, minor injuries and serious injuries, of course, under strict protection, coupled with the weakness of the opponent, there are not many seriously injured people, but each time there will be one or two unlucky people are seriously injured, when the seriously injured soldiers are carried back, it is to make the rest of the flag army more vigilant and careful.

There are also flag soldiers, and every two or three times one or two flag soldiers are too badly injured and die.

Every time a flag soldier dies, Min Yuanqi will personally preside over the funeral, and then the family of each flag soldier who died in the battle will receive generous compensation for the bereavement compensation.

Even so, none of the banner soldiers was willing to take the initiative to receive such pensions and compensation.

Everyone was careful in their movements, even if the island was already in chaos.

Han Sen landed at the end, and the flag army had already advanced towards the island.

It's a small island, and you can see it all at a glance from a high vantage point.

The length of the east and west is no more than 1,000 steps, and the north and south are only about 200 steps.

The harbor is a small hill reef, and after the advance, there is a trail, and there are lush shrubs around the island, there are no trees, and there are peaks dozens of meters high in the east, middle, and west, and it is not far from the largest plain area on the island.

There are some buildings on the island, in addition to the pirate's wooden hut, there are some Tianfei Temple, thousand-year-old pavilion, Li Sijing and other buildings before the Tang and Song dynasties, stone buildings have gone through wind and rain, although dilapidated but standing.

There are also several forts, which should have been built during the Jiajing period, and the Franc machine guns in the original forts have long been gone.

Hundreds of pirates were gradually encircled in the island, howling in despair.

Some shouted, some cried, and some waved their knives forward.

There were still a few pirates running to the beach behind them, where there was a shallow beach line leading to the deep sea, and these people ran to the beach, and simply jumped into the water and swam away.

Han Sen didn't care after a few glances, this place was extremely far away from the coast, and he was afraid that no matter how good these people were, they would not be able to swim to the shore, and eventually die in the sea and be eaten by fish.

At this time, the drum beat became more and more urgent, and the entire Baizong advanced forward, and then the sound of fire guns sounded when the two sides were separated by dozens of steps.

More than 30 guns opened fire at the same time, and the few brave pirates were knocked to the ground like fallen leaves by the autumn wind, and in an instant these people lost the will to resist.

Seeing that his opponent had no bows and arrows, the sword player pulled towards the wings, and at the same time deep ahead, swept away the stragglers who ran in both directions.

The pikemen began to speed forward, and the formation of the spears like a forest was unusually neat, and under the orders of the officer, they kept lowering their stabs, and each round of stabbing brought up a rain of blood and minced flesh.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the pirates' feeble resistance was completely crushed.
