Chapter 371: The Zheng Family's Wealth

The order was sent to the Marine War Department, which was one of the saddest combat branches of the battleship.

It's not that the combat effectiveness of the Marine War Department is not good, the requirements of the Marine War Department are better than those of ordinary volunteers, after all, shooting on a ship, you can't stay at all without some ability.

It is said that they are sad because the artillery department of the battleship is the first department to eat meat first, and the artillery long-range attack eats the largest and fattest meat, and the rest depends on the situation before it is the turn of the Marine War Department.

An hour later, Zhang Wu came over respectfully.

"Chief, Zheng Zhilong's forces have been cleared, Zheng Zhilong fled with more than 1,000 remnants of the forces, do you need his subordinates to lead people to pursue?"

Chen Zijian: "No, Zheng Zhilong, who has no power, can stir up any storms!" It takes too much time to chase them, we are not familiar with the place here, it is difficult to catch up with them, we just move the roadblocks here, and there will be opportunities in the future. And among the more than 1,000 deserters, I'm sure Zheng Zhilong is not among them. ”

Zhang Wu asked, "Why?" ”

Regarding the questions of his subordinates, Chen Zijian explained in order to cultivate him, "The so-called three holes of cunning rabbits, Zheng Zhilong will not follow them if he is not stupid, such a big target of more than 1,000 people, if we really kill them all, isn't Zheng Zhilong looking for death in it!" ”

Zhang Wu: "It's still the chief's benevolence!" ”

Chen Zijian: "Get out, Lao Tzu has no benevolence, just too lazy to waste time, now the gunpowder you use is about to run out, I haven't hurried to the island of Taiwan to mine, gunpowder, you save some use of gunpowder, when you run out, you will take someone to take the Mitsubishi gun and fight hard!" ”

When Zhang Wu heard the gunpowder problem, his mouth opened unconsciously, "Don't, chief, the brothers below will really take the Mitsubishi gun to fight, and they will be very passive." ”

The current volunteers, in Chen Zijian's combat thoughts, have already identified the invincible wheel of muskets, and really let them pick up the traditional Mitsubishi gun weapons to fight, maybe a skirmish, more than half of the casualties will be killed.

Zhang Wu: "Chief, I immediately asked my brothers to come back and set off to that island, Taiwan Island to mine sulfur." ”

The gunpowder formula, with Zhang Wu's status, naturally knows the truth and knows that gunpowder uses sulfur.

Let Zhang Wu return to the days of fighting without gunpowder, this is a fatal thing, really fatal.

The volunteers fight, there is no artillery, Minnie guns and hot weapons, holding Mitsubishi guns and fighting the enemy, it's not impossible, but they will kill and injure a lot of their own people, and they can kill the enemy from a distance Why fight with the enemy in close combat.

The harbor is a natural harbor, and warships can dock directly.

"Please, Chief! The enemy has been cleared. ”

Zhang Wu came over very doglegged, very proud of his masterpiece, and asked Chen Zijian to appreciate his work.

"Well, it's a good job, remember it in the future, things that can range the enemy, don't let the brothers below kill and injure too much."

Zhang Wu: "Yes, chief!" The chief is too good to his brothers, they dare not do things well, I will kick them to death. ”

For the sake of merit, some generals do not treat soldiers as people, and by the way, they are called to die, and when they encounter Chen Zijian, they treat them as their own.

Twenty personal guards were guarding him, although Chen Zijian didn't need to worry about what some thieves would do to him, but his safety was related to the stability of Zhangjiacheng, and he could only adapt to these.

"Who are these people, find out their identities, and let the good people go."

Hundreds of tied people knelt on the ground, their faces full of fear, and when they saw the big man coming, they were so frightened that they kowtowed to the ground.

"Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives!"

"The adults spared their lives, the little ones were captured by them as coolies, and the little ones did not do evil things."

A group of unkempt people, wearing shabby linen clothes, have been looking at Mai for many years, plus they belong to the bottom of the people, don't expect anything from hygiene, plus they are exposed to the sun and rain on the beach, their skin is black and purple, and they look like a group of refugees.

The commander of the Marine Corps came over to salute, "Chief, it has been ascertained that these one hundred and thirty-five people are the coolies captured by the Zheng family in the port, I heard that there are still more than five hundred people, and now there are only these people left." ”

A group of coolies knelt down and spoke the local dialect, Chen Zijian couldn't do anything, but since he knew their situation, he just had to make the final decision, and the rest of the things would naturally be completed for him.

"Let them go, and give each person three taels of silver and twenty catties of grain."

The brigade commander saluted, "Yes, chief." ”

Chen Zijian shook his head and left, if he was in eastern Guangdong Province, he would bring people back to Zhangjiacheng to increase the population, but now he is in Quanzhou. Vessels have limited capacity and there is no need to waste capacity.

"What's going on with these people?"

The people who were captured by the Marines were obviously more than a hundred people just now, and there were even more prisoners kneeling in front of them, compared to the coolies just now, these people's faces were obviously much better, and the clothes they wore were decent people, at least there were no patches.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was good to be able to wear a piece of clothing without patches, which was good for the people.

Among the kneeling people, some looked up at Chen Zijian, and hurriedly lowered their heads and pretended to be their grandsons. But the fierce look in his eyes couldn't escape Chen Zijian's feelings.

Just now Chen Zijian passed by the group of coolies, but those people were terrified, for fear that one of the big men would be unhappy and throw them into the sea to feed the fish.

The current group of people, with the murderous aura in their eyes, are obviously not ordinary people.

In the past, as long as there were less than ten volunteers, they could take care of it, but now the prisoners need hundreds of volunteers.

"Chief, these Zheng family thugs, there were thirty-five people who wanted to enter the coolie camp before, and they were arrested by us. These are the people. ”

Chen Zijian said lightly: "Killed." ”

A group of pirates, since they are in the limelight, just use them as an example to kill chickens and monkeys.

Immediately, more than 30 heads rolled down before the captivity, frightening the captives silently, for fear that their voices would be noticed and lead to death.

For pirates, Chen Zijian has no mercy, a group of things that harm their own people, and it is cheaper for them to die.

If these pirates were caught by the volunteers from the waters of the Wa Kingdom, maybe Chen Zijian would invite them and treat them politely to harm the Wa Kingdom In Chen Zijian's eyes, he can be regarded as heroes.

"The rest of the people were sent to Luzon and handed over to Li Si, and he knew how to do it."

Now that Li Si controlled a large area in Luzon, there was absolutely no male natives in the area under his control, and those natives who were okay in their control became captives as a reward for the wicked.

Zhang Wu came over and said flatteringly, "Chief, the brother who just pursued came back to report that a large number of treasures have been found in the Zheng Zhilong compound in Quanzhou, do you need to take a look!" ”

"Oh, let's go, go and see the treasure of this big pirate, I think Zheng Zhilong has scavenged more than these wealth over the years, there are a lot of other places, I don't believe that Zheng Zhilong is stupid enough to gather all the wealth together."

Zhang Wu: "I heard that Zheng Zhilong fled in a hurry, and pulled away dozens of carriages by the way, if we chase them, chief, we will definitely be able to catch up with them." ”

There were already volunteers riding horses and hanging behind Zheng Zhilong's escape carriage, and such a large horse convoy was not afraid of chasing and losing.

Chen Zijian "sent people to chase back the wealth, and when it came to the meat in our mouths, they still wanted to take it away, I really didn't have a temper." ”

The small things of the pursuit, naturally there is no need for Chen Zijian to personally lead the team, this is an opportunity for the people below to make meritorious contributions, Chen Zijian led people to pursue, and took away the credit of the people below, maybe they will be complained.

Thankless things, Chen Zijian only watched a lot of care.

As for the volunteers pursuing the enemy and causing their own casualties, it can only be said that life and death are in the sky, wealth and wealth are in the sky, and if you want to make meritorious service and become an official, you should be prepared to do things with your head in mind, and only think about meritorious service and not casualties? Where is such a good thing.

In the inner courtyard of the Zheng family, Zhang Wu pointed to a pillar with a diameter of thirty centimeters and said, "Chief, look, our brother found that Zheng Zhilong cast gold into a pillar and hid it here, if it wasn't for the brother who shot and hit here before, we wouldn't have found out this secret." ”

"It has been carefully inspected, there are fifty-eight such golden pillars in the inner courtyard, the value is incalculable, and it is necessary to demolish this place before the golden pillars can be removed."

Chen Zijian: "Good guy, Zheng Zhilong is really rich, he didn't find the gold here, the people who did this should have disappeared from the world!" ”

Zhang Wu proudly took Chen Zijian to another place, "Chief, look, the walls here are all made of silver. There are eight such walls"

Seeing the golden pillars, the Volunteers carefully searched each place again, and then found the silver wall.

The so-called silver wall is built with pieces of silver bricks, and when building a house in this way, Chen Zijian can only give Zheng Zhilong a thumbs up, you can play, with this money, it is better to recruit troops and improve your strength.

Anyway, Zheng Zhilong is already a pirate leader, and the imperial court is powerless against the sea area, Zheng Zhilong recruits 100,000 troops, and he is a good warlord in the south.

Or increase the construction of shipbuilding, completely control the Ming coast, and be a soil emperor, no one can help him.

But Zheng Zhilong will only hide his wealth, and now it has become Chen Zijian's trophy.

"Chief, there's a fun one over there, and my subordinates specially arranged it for you."

Chen Zijian: "What's the matter, sneaky." ”

Zhang Wu smiled like a flower, "Chief, just take a look, and your subordinates guarantee that you will be satisfied." ”

Chen Zijian was invited by Zhang Wu to a place, a room in the inner courtyard where he was dressed as a newlywed.

Zhang Wu: "Chief, inside is Zheng Zhilong's concubine today, who has not yet come to the east, and his brothers have been killed, and Zheng Zhilong has no time to take it away." ”

After speaking, he looked at Chen Zijian with a flattering face.

"Bastard, when I'm somebody."

Zhang Wu said, "Chief, your subordinates know that you are a righteous man and a gentleman, and now that Zheng Zhilong has escaped, the woman left behind can only be widowed in the future, and you can only solve the problem." Chief, you can go in and have a look, and if you don't think it's suitable, you'll decide. ”

The woman inside is considered unlucky to be home, and her life events have become like this.

Chen Zijian shook his head and pushed the door in, there were three women in the room, and two maids were next to a hijab woman, and the two people who saw the door became nervous, and now they also knew what was going on outside, waiting for the verdict of fate.
