When Lin Yi led the fleet to engage in a naval battle with Hongmaozi, of course, the Ming army on the shore was not idle, they pursued Lin Yi's plan of advancing by land and water, 6 battalions of 20,000 horses, and drove Zheng Zhilong's southern army out of Changguo County.

Zhoushan City, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, belonged to Changguo County, and the Ming government set up Zhoushan Wei here. Now that the Ming army has taken the county seat, Lin Yi led the fleet to carry the captives of Hongmaozi, including merchant ships and warships, to the port of Zhoushan for replenishment.

Wang Jian, Zhang Hua, Dongsheng and other generals led the Ming army soldiers to meet each other on the shore, and the fleet docked. The two warships of Hongmaozi, including a wrecked ship, and more than 60 merchant ships, drove more than 2,000 Hongmaozi captives who captured red-faced soldiers and merchants to the shore like cattle.

More than 2,000 people are not less, and they are black.

The soldiers of the Ming army, including Xiaoying and Zhezhe, suggested that Lin Yi slaughter these red hats and throw them into the sea to feed the fish. They came from the continent, occupied Taiwan, and did many evils, and came to the coast to provoke and openly open fire on the Ming ships, and in this battle, they lost more than a dozen ships and several hundred soldiers, and the crimes they committed were too numerous to mention, and they deserved to be punished.

These red hairs often travel around Taiwan, South and East in China. I have long been familiar with the Chinese dialect, and when I look at today's situation, it is estimated that there is more than one luck, and cutting off the head is estimated to be the lightest.

Therefore, they really regret that they should not make a fuss, how good it is to do business directly from the Taiwan side to the Oriental side, why do they have to detour to China's coastal provocation? flaunted his might, and also set an example for Zheng Zhilong's rebels, but as a result, the mud bodhisattva crossed the river and became a prisoner of the Ming army, and his surname was difficult to protect.

Therefore, all of them looked bitter like mourners, especially those timid businessmen, and their faces turned green with fright. I don't know what I'm going to do next.

"Can you understand what this prison country is saying?" Lin Yi looked at them.

The men, including Kars, nodded.

"Then you want to live or die?"

Ants are still greedy for life, let alone people? Therefore, when Lin Yi asked, when these captives heard this, could they still live? There was an incredible expression on his face, and he couldn't even believe his ears.

Of course they all want to live. Including that Kars, he didn't want to die.

"Then be obedient and work hard, you will not die, and you will be rewarded with food, otherwise, there is only one way to die."

As soon as Lin Yi's words came out, Xiao Ying couldn't stand it at first, and her eyes widened, what? If you don't kill them, let them work, and give them food, it's too cheap for them, right? Xiao Ying was just about to speak, but Zhe Zhe pulled her, shook his head and gave her a look, which meant that Brother Lin had his own strategy, and Xiao Ying let out a heavy breath to calm herself down.

"Thank you, sir."

These red-haired people saw that Lin Yi did not mean to kill them, and they were grateful, and that Kars took the lead in kneeling down to thank Lin Yi for following the example of the Chinese. More than 2,000 people, without exception, fell to their knees in unison.

Next, a prisoner of war camp was established in Changguo County. These more than 2,000 red-haired people have been working here since this day.

If you kill them, it will be too cheap for them, even if they are punished with capital punishment, it will not solve the fundamental problem, and it is still useful to keep them in front of you!

They divided colonies everywhere, enslaved others, and promoted slavery education, and this time Lin Yi also gave them a taste of being enslaved. Doing hard work is one of them, of course, there is one work in front of me, more than 60 merchant ships of goods, including nylon, linen, salt, grain, ironware, some handicraft products, etc., ordered these red hairs to be unloaded, registered in the account and confiscated.

This is the goods of their Dongfang Kingdom Company, and the looted are all the people's fat and people's ointment, the fruits of the labor of the people of Taiwan, as well as those from the Netherlands and other countries in the continent, as well as those plundered from Nanyang and other places, and transported to the East to sell.

Each ship is at least a hundred tons. The cargo on more than 60 ships added up to more than 10,000 tons, and this time they all lost their money, even if the world boss carried forward the humanitarian spirit and aided the Ming Dynasty free of charge.

After these things are removed, they are sorted and organized. Some of them were left for military use, and the rest accounted for most of them, which were loaded on ships for the second time, transported to Beijing and Nanjing, and handed over to the six cabinet departments for redistribution.

These red-haired people are willing to work now, and the leader named Kars has flashed his coat, rolled up his arms and sleeves, and carried them to sweat, which is of course much better than squatting in a prison and cutting off his head.

Xiaoying and Zhezhe looked at them, our big brother Lin is really good at calling people! It is better to let them work for the Ming Dynasty than to kill them. Such a cheap and obedient labor force is much better than raising livestock.

But after all, these red-haired people have never done hard work, they are either officials or rich, and even those who are soldiers are also calling. In various colonies, such as Taiwan, China, the inhabitants were enslaved and subjected to hard labor. Yelling and drinking, beating and scolding.

30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, now it's the other way around. They never dreamed that they would taste slavery so soon. The hard work was so tiring that after a while everyone was sweating and panting.

After a while, they were lazy.

At this time, the soldiers of the Ming army came over with a horsewhip and scolding, and they were so frightened that they quickly cheered up and worked spiritually, otherwise, the horsewhip would be thrown on their bodies and faces. They can't stand this thing when it is thrown at the animals, let alone on them? They know it. If you don't want to be beaten and scolded and suffer from flesh and skin, you have to be obedient and work hard.

More than 60 merchant ships, also regarded as trophies, they, like their original owners, now had to work as coolies for the Ming Dynasty. From this day on, two boxes of ammunition and other food and military supplies began to be transported for the Ming Dynasty naval division.

In addition, the naval battle also captured two of Hongmaozi's battleships, including one that was damaged by shells. Of course, it is still useful to drag it over, so I took this good battleship and the wrecked ship, and got a good merchant ship, and transported it to the Nanjing Water Affairs Bureau as a sample, and handed it over to Song Yingxing, Song Yingsheng, and Tang Ruowang, three military experts, as scientific research supplies.

Let them refer to the research, and then improve the ships of the Ming Dynasty.

Hongmaozi's ship-building technology is world-class. This kind of advanced military technology cannot be bought for any amount of money, this is a top-secret thing, and now it is not spent a penny to get it.

Among the more than 2,000 Hongmaozi prisoners of war, of course, there are many military talents, such as Kars, the commander-in-chief of the escort fleet, including the sailors and controllers of warships and merchant ships, etc., if necessary, they can also let those extremely intelligent military experts exchange their experiences with them, in this case, they are absolutely willing to serve in order to survive.

It is foreseeable that in the near future, there will definitely be a qualitative leap in the ships of the Ming Dynasty, including merchant ships!

Lin Yi is planning a beautiful blueprint for the future with great interest.

Next, Lin Yi's ships made up in Changguo, ammunition, food, military supplies, etc., Yang Wei and other ships made necessary supplies, and the damaged ships needed to be repaired.

In the process of chasing and destroying the Hongmaozi battleship, the Yangwei was hit by a shot, a crater was blown out of the deck, and the other mast was blackened by fire smoke. Although there was no obstacle to the functioning of the battleship, it was necessary to repair the deck, like a healthy man with a sore on his body, and he had to be healed.

I found a local skilled craftsman to dismantle the materials from those broken battleships, and after more than a month of construction. The repairs were completely restored, and no traces were visible. At the same time, the other ships were repaired, and the sailors were resting on the shore, and the troops were well rested and fed for the month.

Now the Ming armies on the shore are advancing rapidly, and Zheng Zhilong's southern army is retreating one after another. The area under Zheng Zhilong's de facto rule now includes all of Fujian, most of Zhejiang, and most of Guangdong.

Next, Lin Yi prepared to advance by land and water to attack Taizhou. It is obvious that Lin Yi drew a circle for Zheng Zhilong, if Lin Yi's fleet hits Guangdong, this circle will be considered a disturbance, and Zheng Zhilong's Great Southern Emperor is a turtle in an urn.

At this moment, there was an excerpt from Guangdong, and Lin Yi opened it and looked at it, overjoyed.
