Huang Han's trading fleet had grown to 136 warships and merchant ships.

The smallest displacement of the sea vessels with a full load tonnage of 200 tons is not a problem when all the ballast stones are replaced with copper ingots.

The largest carrying capacity is, of course, the Udwater, and Wang Yuqi guaranteed that it could load eight or nine hundred tons of cargo when it returned to the sea, but this was because the ship was injured and left with an insurance coefficient that was not fully loaded, after all, the displacement of this warship exceeded 1,500 tons.

The fleet stayed in the Nine Ghosts Private Harbor for five days, and the dock had ready-made materials and large tools, and it was possible to repair and maintain the robbed ships of the 800 Seagoing Harbor, and now the repair was not simply to fill the holes, but to ensure that these ships could sail thousands of miles to reach the Tiger's Den Harbor.

Wang Yuqi and the master master commanded the rescue of more than 100 craftsmen and thousands of laborers who worked day and night to repair the ship.

The rescued Han people were full of passion, and they knew that they were going to return to Daming on the big ship that they participated in repairing and maintaining, and of course they were happy to do it seriously.

Some of these people have been in slavery for more than 10 years, and the oldest is seven or eight old craftsmen in their forties, who have been slaves for nearly 20 years, and it is possible that they have the skills and skills to not be killed, because few slaves here are more than 40 years old.

Huang Han didn't treat everyone badly, and he couldn't be bitter about the hard-working craftsmen.

There are too many chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep on the island, these things should have been exclusive to pirates, but now they are shared, and many slaves have not known the taste of meat for several years, and they have eaten pork stewed vermicelli that they have never seen or eaten, and they can't help but burst into tears.

The "Red Banner Army" didn't care about eating meat, and was especially reluctant to eat pork stewed vermicelli.

Because you basically eat all kinds of sea fish and canned meat on the boat, you are really tired of eating stewed pork vermicelli, and there is no shortage of oil and water in your stomach, and the vegetables grown on the island have become everyone's favorite.

The number of Shi Daxuan's subordinates and the prisoners of the East India Company, plus the captured pirates and rescued slaves, has exceeded 5,000, of which about 1,000 are women in the pirate's lair, they may be the pirate's family, or they may be the pirate's plaything.

The freed slaves are not necessarily good citizens, and there are very few good citizens who earn a living at sea, and among these slaves there should be other pirate survivors who were wiped out by the Nine Ghosts.

These people have good physical fitness, and after screening, they are sailors, and more than half of them can shoot cannons, pirates are very practical, and they refuse to raise idlers at all, and men who have no skills are afraid that they are thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

It is impossible to distinguish between these many people for a short time, and first distinguish between those who read or can write, of course, in order to use these people to participate in management, and these people are familiar with the situation of other people, and have the same experience of slavery, so it is easier to be accepted.

There were less than 300 people who took the initiative to sign up and wrote on the spot to prove that they could write and calculate, which was less than one-tenth of the total number, and more than 80 of these people said that they could speak the Chinese language.

More than 40 people have been confirmed by Lin Minghai to speak Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese and Arabic. This is not surprising because these people were Xiyi or Persians, and they learned Chinese as slaves with the Han Chinese.

Those who can speak foreign languages are talents, because the "Red Banner Army" is about to start fighting for control of the seas and start developing maritime trade, not only to earn money, but also to be able to import a large amount of grain, and too many interpreters are needed.

The freed slaves were to be militarized, and then they were talked to each separately to create a file, and those who felt reliable were assigned to serve as sailors on merchant ships without force, and the proportion did not exceed three percent.

Those who thought they needed to be supervised stayed on the warship to do chores, there were sailors and marines, and no one dared to talk nonsense, and those who were judged to be unable to reform could only say goodbye, and directly cut off their heads and threw them into the sea.

Under normal circumstances, there are not many such people, because even the most vicious pirates cherish their lives very much, and they are pretending to be good babies in front of the "Red Flag Army", and even too many people take the initiative to ask for meritorious service, including Kumamoto Daizo, the third leader of the Nine Ghost Pirate Group.

This kid can do that the pirate leader must have a lot of blood debts on his hands, but at this time, he restrained his usual ferocity, took the initiative to report the location of the secret warehouse of the Nine Ghost Group of the Suppression Officer, and personally took the "Red Flag Army" to collect gold and silver treasures.

There are indeed a lot of good things there, I don't know how many gold wares, Ming precious spices, celebrity calligraphy and paintings, antiques, etc., it is estimated that I will get more than 100,000 taels of silver if I take them to Beijing and sell them.

Kumamoto's efforts were not in vain, as Huang Han pardoned him for the death penalty of his daughter's bones, and spared the lives of nine of his wives and concubines and children.

With Kumamoto's example, many surviving pirate leaders took the initiative to tell the secrets of the "Red Banner Army" on the island or on the warship, as the saying goes, one person hides something, and ten thousand people find it.

The appearance of a large number of Infernal Affairs is completely different, the hidden compartment in the cabin, and a large amount of gold and silver treasure has been seized in a small cave on the island.

After a few days of trimming, the fleet that set sail again looked even more spectacular, and the fighters were in good spirits.

Wang Yuqi and many other craftsmen and slaves from the original island did not follow the ship, because there were still more than two dozen armed merchant ships in the dock under repair.

The "Red Banner Army" marines left a general to garrison here, and the original Shi Daxuan left 200 gunners under the leadership of Shi Dajing to guard the three batteries.

It's still a long way to go to Edo Bay, and there is no need to bring armed merchant ships that are not in good shape, and there is no need to bring a few thousand people here, and the island will be evacuated and emptied when the fleet returns.

It is expected that it will take about twenty days to return to the private port of the nine ghosts, and the twenty-eight merchant ships repaired should be completed by this time.

When heading to the destination Edo Bay, this huge fleet would not be idle, as long as the merchant ships and warships that appeared in the field of vision could not be spared, and the fleet went for seven days and added more than a dozen armed merchant ships.

Originally, Huang Han was ready to rush to Edo Bay to show off his military strength and force Tokugawa Iemitsu to trade with him, but now the fleet has doubled, and there are Xiyi deck warships like the Udwater, which is even more convincing.

Without the need for introduction, Huang Han came to Edo Bay and directly blocked the largest port of the Wa Kingdom.

An enemy came from the sea and sank a patrol ship? The sailors who belonged to the Tokugawa shogunate could not sit idly by, and the famous large ironclad warships of the Warring States period were the main warships of the Wakoku Shogunate.

The ironclad ship is too slow to be suitable for fighting at sea at all, and can only be adapted to attacking the port and used as a sea fortress, which must be the premise that the opponent does not have heavy artillery.

Several ironclad warships left the port in a majestic manner, and dozens of armed vermilion ships formed a team to escort the front and back, left and right, such a configuration was okay to fight the turtle ships of Goryeo sticks during the Battle of Luliang, and they could only rest in the seventeenth century.
