Some fled, some resisted in vain, and some knelt down and asked to surrender.

All attempts to survive were in vain, and the flag army was like an emotionless killing machine, constantly killing and killing.

Later, the guns were closed, and the gunners kept shooting and killing the scattered pirates.

It's also a rare opportunity to practice the firecrackers, and it's usually the gunners and swordsmen who pick up the pieces.

After a long roar, the knife players began to slash the fleeing pirates, and the pikemen took out their short knives at their waists and began to mend the wounded pirates.

After half an hour, everything calmed down.

This beautiful and picturesque island in the middle of the sea, the smell of choking blood fills the air, and everyone works together to cut off the heads.

The corpse was thrown directly into the sea, which was not a trouble.

Some rudimentary weapons were selected and brought back to the guards for use, and the rest were given to the blacksmiths, who smelted and forged iron for civilian use.

The robes were not used, but some cloth and grain were carried onto the ship in an orderly manner and brought back to the hundred households for redistribution after the quartermaster was put into the file.

The general manager of the soldiers was still unsatisfied, and went to Han Sen and said: "There are also two jars of gold, more than ten jars of silver, I am afraid that the total is more than 10,000 taels, these guys are really rich, but there are too few people, and the sons and daughters are not happy to fight." ”

Han Sen glanced at this guy and said, "Are you still afraid that there will be no battle to fight?" In this troubled world, the battle will only get bigger and bigger! ”

At least at this moment, Han Sen hadn't realized that he had made a prophecy, not only was there a battle to be fought right now, but it was also the biggest and most dangerous challenge since the Yunti Guan Banner Army was formed.

……

"More than 100 heads, more than 10,000 gold and silver, and some cloth and grain." Han Sen stood in front of Min Yuanqi and reported one by one: "The most important harvest is that there are two sea boats, both of which are four hundred materials, which have not been maintained for a long time, and there are many places where sea water enters, and barnacles and other things are clinging to the ship, so I have to make great efforts to scrape the bottom of the ship, replace the ship's board, repaint, and replace the sails, so I decided not to tow the boat back." Originally, it was planned to bring some skilled hands from Yuntiguan to the island to repair it, but now it seems that it will not be possible. ”

Min Yuanqi also had joy in his eyes, before the war, these military supplies brought back by Han Sen and the others were trivial matters, although there was already a lot of silver and gold, but he didn't know why the island thieves didn't share the money and ran away, maybe they didn't understand the determination and will of the Yunti Pass, or they were afraid of the government's arrest, in short, it was cheaper to get the Yunti Pass here.

However, the materials are just a trivial matter, and these gold and silver materials are the output of Yanchi for a few days, which is not too concerning.

What Min Yuanqi cared about was those two sea ships, and indeed as Han Sen thought, the importance of sea ships was even more important to Min Yuanqi.

With these two ships, the craftsmen of Yuntiguan and Qingjiangpu do not have to touch the elephant blindly, and it is much easier to imitate the original structure.

In fact, Liujiagang and the official shipyard in the south of the Yangtze River have shipbuilding materials and craftsmen who can build sea ships, but with Min Yuanqi's current strength, it is relatively difficult to try to go there, and some of the information is secret, such as overseas sea records are top secret. The craftsmen were also controlled by the big families over there, after all, after the opening of Longwan, the trade in Jiangnan was not under Fujian and Guangdong, and even won it. After all, in terms of bulk production, although Fujian was born silk, its scale is not small, but it is still slightly inferior to Jiangnan. As for porcelain, tea, and cloth and other bulk goods, most of them go to sea from the Jiangnan area.

For example, Shuangyu Island in Zhejiang, once brought together a large number of Chinese and foreign maritime merchants, and the Portuguese had more than 1,000 people living on the island, but in the Jiajing period, they were all exterminated by the good and the bad.

The trade in the south of the Yangtze River is prosperous, and the amount of goods in and out is also large, not only the maritime merchants buy ships and build ships, but also many local official gentry families are involved, including the Wuxi Qian family, which has taken out tens of thousands of silver and cooperated with others to manufacture large sea ships with a cost of about 100,000 taels.

With more shipbuilding, the control over craftsmen and shipyards must be tighter.

Min Yuanqi, the newly appointed guerrilla general, is still a well-known figure in Jiangbei, but he is not even a fart in Jiangnan.

Zhejiang's famous scholar Mao Yuanyi, a son of the scholar family, has few talents, and has been mixed in the Qinhuai River, where famous people have become famous, and he was given poems by famous prostitutes.

Such a scholarly family with both civil and military skills has written countless poems and military books.

When he was young, he was in the Yang Ho shogunate for praise paintings, and later flew to Beijing with Sun Chengzong in the second year of Chongzhen's crisis, and was given the post of deputy commander-in-chief.

It is already extremely difficult for ordinary generals to become deputy commanders, and the position of deputy general is also a second or third grade, which is not low.

But after Mao Yuanyi took up the military position, he was criticized by Shilin, and he encountered more white eyes than in the first half of his life.

In the eyes of the gentry and scholars of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the martial arts are low, even if Mao Yuanyi is only a clerical praise painting, or he is directly a white body, with his family background and talent reputation, it is more than enough to be a celebrity. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, how can celebrities come to the door to find the reason that the gentry's house does not try their best to entertain and flatter? If Mao Yuanyi is white, there will be no problem eating from Nanjing to Hangzhou, and I don't know how many families rush to welcome him.

Once he became a deputy general, he was ignored by everyone, and no one was willing to pay attention to him, let alone make friends with him.

Mao Yuanyi died of grief in the twelfth year of Chongzhen, and the Ming Dynasty was a soldier and a family talent, in the mouth of the Jiangnan gentry, but it was a pity, which was a pity to lose a pillar, but it was a pity that Mao Yuanyi was obsessed with fame, and actually went to be a military officer as a child of an official gentry family.

Mao Yuanyi is still like this, not to mention a small guerrilla like Min Yuanqi, who was born in a thorough general.

Some of the official gentry families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been inherited from the Tang Dynasty, and there are many families passed down from generation to generation in the Song Dynasty. Many families have been officials in the Southern Song Dynasty, passed down for more than ten or twenty generations, or raised people, Jinshi, and are still gold-lettered signboards, out-and-out scholarly official gentry families......

The official gentry and wealthy merchant class in Jiangnan said that no matter which one it is, the power is not very strong, and there is no big family that can really control the government.

Let's just say that the Xu family in Songjiang, Xu Jie, has been ranked as the first assistant, and there is nothing to say about the family situation, and there are more than 200,000 acres of land, and there is nothing to say about the wealth.

was almost ruined by local officials, Xu Ge was quite miserable in his later years, and he sat back and watched his nephew's family being exiled from the army, and most of the family property was confiscated.

But these officials and wealthy businessmen are grouped, and they really prosper and lose.

The tax supervisor of the Wanli faction is to make money for himself, and it is not related to the Wanli who is attached to the descendants to collect taxes from the people to enrich the treasury. This emperor is a descendant of merchants, born greedy and stingy, even if the affairs of Liaodong have burned his eyebrows, he still holds on to the inner treasury silver and does not let go, and the tax supervisors and tax supervisors sent everywhere get the local miasma, countless dead, how many good people are forced to bankrupt, this is not what can be used to levy taxes and resist taxes to dilute the mud, wrong is wrong, right is right......

The difference in Jiangnan is that everywhere else is prostrate and endure under the imperial power, but the Jiangnan gentry can secretly hook their hands and use many methods such as boycott and city to protest, and even when the contradictions are fierce, the families secretly find thugs and directly beat the tax supervisors sent by the emperor to death.

This is contempt for imperial power, but if someone resists his fate, even Emperor Wanli is helpless.

It is a mistake for Wanli to make money for himself, but the gentry in Jiangnan joined forces to resist taxes, and the country was in turmoil, and they were still unable to give up their money, which was also a big mistake.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, nothing was right, the control of the imperial court was extremely weak, Jiangnan was rich and the Northwest Central Plains were poor, but the tax increase was mainly in the Northwest Central Plains, and Jiangnan could not collect money.

Natural disasters continued, but only the land tax could be collected, and the commercial tax was reduced year after year because the control of the imperial court was weaker during the Chongzhen period.

Min Yuanqi wants to pretend to be big in Jiangnan, but I'm afraid it's impossible.

These people were going to be killed in the three major cases in the early Qing Dynasty, and the Taqing Dynasty used the three major cases to kill the Jiangnan gentry in Jiangnan, and the Jiangnan family was almost swept away.

The two means were combined, and the Jiangnan gentry were no longer arrogant in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, some people are really lowly, they don't listen to good words, they do evil deeds, they wield a knife and kill a river of blood, but they have become loyal and good ministers full of loyalty to the king......

"A great war is coming, but the matter of the ships at sea must not be delayed." Min Yuanqi pondered for a moment and said to Han Sen: "Go and pick people now, or use a boat to send people to Qinshan Island." Well, that's all there is to it. ”

In fact, it is quite risky to go on the sea, and the time is not fast.

The best way to do this is to control the north of the Huai River, all the way to the area outside Qinshan Island from Haizhou.

Although it is not as sparsely populated as Yancheng, there are not many residents, and there is only one thousand households in Haizhou, which is a strategic vacuum zone.

Haizhou still had some status at the time of the preparation of the Japanese war, but after the Japanese rebellion was pacified, Haizhou also became a small and contemptible state, and no one controlled and valued it at all.

Min Yuanqi's original plan was to infiltrate Haizhou, and there were not many people from Liu Zeqing's faction in this place.

This time tearing the face can be regarded as an opportunity, if you can defeat Liu's soldiers and horses, you can take advantage of the situation to go north and control Haizhou and the surrounding places, including the island port.

This is naturally the best result, but before the real result comes, Min Yuanqi will not be self-righteous.

Han Sen nodded, and went to choose the people, the people selected in this situation would leave the battlefield, and after Han Sen picked out the craftsmen and the banner army to protect, the selected flag army let out a frustrated shout.

Judging from the performance of the flag army in front of them, the morale is really not low, and everyone is eager to fight with the invading guest army.

The image and reputation of the guest army are at the bottom of Yunti Pass and even the entire Huai'an Mansion, and some people even think that the Liukou are more particular than Liu Zeqing and his subordinates.

People hate the guest soldiers to the core, Dahewei and Yuntiguan and Huai'an people have been mixed and lived together for more than 200 years, Yuntiguan is not a vacuum here, and the evaluation and hatred of the guest soldiers will inevitably affect these flag troops.

Hard training and good equipment, including actual combat, are all aimed at meeting the rogue and keeping one side safe.

But now the hatred of the guest soldiers has far exceeded the Liukou, the Liukou is still far away in Henan, the guests have been angry in Huai'an, Yuntiguan here is not a vacuum, there are relatives and friends scattered all over Huai'an, there are also relatives and friends who have been harassed and oppressed by the guest soldiers' food team, and even some soldiers and relatives and friends died at the hands of the guests.

This is not surprising, Liu Zeqing and his army are stationed in Huai'an, since there are extortion and food and even looting and killing, there will be no shortage of such things, and whoever encounters it will be ruined.

In the past few months, I don't know how many Huai'an people have been poisoned, and many of them must be the military households of Dahewei or the relatives and friends of the soldiers of Yunti Pass.

If there is a chance to fight these guests, or even defeat them and thwart their ferocious flames, this is definitely one of the things that the flag army wants to do the most.

It's just that although this kind of psychology is true, but more than 3,000 people to more than 10,000 guest soldiers, how much of this frustrated shouting is sincere, and how much is emotional catharsis, this is something that no one can say.
