The work required manpower, Colin needed to remove the cannon from the ship, Harald needed sailors to help repair the ship, so everyone was busy.

Zhou Lang was not idle, he was worried about chaos in the city, so he kept writing notices telling the residents of the city that they were only staying here for the time being, and when their ship was repaired, they would leave. And to ensure that the soldiers do not harass the residents, and that the people of the city do not attack the soldiers. This is a notice to reassure the people.

After doing this, the day had passed, and at this time, Zhou Lang found Harald, and he needed Harald to help him do an important thing. Colin said that he could stay here for three months, Zhou Lang was not very relieved, especially Colin seemed to have always been polite to him, unlike Harald who quarreled with him twice, but Zhou Lang was more relieved that Harald was the captain.

"Captain Harald, I need you to do something for me."

"Sir, you say."

Since Harald was attacked, he has been much more polite to Zhou Lang.

Zhou Lang said: "I need you to send someone to Macao immediately, our other ship is estimated to have arrived in Macao, I want you to help contact them." ”

Harald frowned: "But our ship." ”

Zhou Lang said: "We can't wait for the ship to be repaired with peace of mind, do you understand?" I don't think it's safe here, are you willing to trust my judgment this time? ”

Last time, it was because they didn't believe Zhou Lang's judgment that there was really danger, they were attacked and the ship was damaged, which seriously hit Harald's self-confidence.

He didn't dare to insist this time, and asked, "But what are we going to do?" ”

Zhou Lang said: "Isn't Banten Village a fishing village, you can always find a boat, I want you to find a boat, a ship that can sail, and immediately set off across the strait to Macao." ”

Harald asked, "And then?" ”

Zhou Lang said: "I am free to arrange the rest of the matter, you just need to sail the boat to Macao and find our people." ”

After that, Zhou Lang found Lin Pu again.

"There is a letter here, there will be a docking of our ship in Macau, and the name of the person in charge of the ship is Xie Qinggao. You go to Macao with Harald's people, find Xie Qinggao, and give him the letter. Then if you want to go back to your hometown, you can go back to your hometown, and if you want to come back, you can come back. ”

Zhou Lang did not tell Colin about these things, because Colin was a member of the East India Company, and he was very sure that if the East India Company issued orders to Colin at the same time as himself, Colin would obey the East India Company without hesitation.

That's why he had to send someone to find Xie Qinggao in Macau, and let Xie Qinggao drive the ship over, first, with Xie Qinggao's armed merchant ship, the threat from the sea would be reduced, and second, even if nothing could be done in the end, Xie Qinggao could still save them all, and it was a big deal to give up the ship Oriental Dawn.

Another point, Xie Qinggao is his own person, as soon as Xie Qinggao comes, he will be able to change the current dilemma that no one is available in Zhou Lang's hands, and completely hand over his fate to Colin and the mercenaries led by him, Zhou Lang has always been unsteady.

Zhou Lang hoped that Xie Qinggao could bring him some surprises, because Xie Qinggao's ship might have a team of Chinese.

lost the left battalion, and the left battalion was the end of the total Gao Peng.

But he ran away with his life, and he wanted to live forever.

This time he didn't go to find Huang Lao Er in nearby Chishan Xun, he hated Huang Lao Er to death in his heart, if this person didn't save him when he saw death, where would he be so embarrassed.

At that time, he was defending the city, and when the merchant opened fire, he asked his soldiers to fire as well. As a result, the bore was blown up, and those guns were old goods from decades ago, and no one would usually maintain them. His subordinates are not professional artillerymen, and the gunners here have gone to Xincheng with Fengshan County before. These cannons are actually abandoned, and for a while Gao Peng even had the idea of selling them.

The cannon itself is not good, and his subordinates are not professional gunners, so it is not surprising that the chamber is blown up.

When he came back to his senses from the gray face of the bombing, there were only a dozen green battalion soldiers under him in the city, and there were only so many people left in his thirty subordinates now, and the others were killed on the beach when they attacked the merchant ships, and he didn't know at this time that some of them were not dead, but were captured as prisoners, and now they are doing hard labor.

Just a dozen or so subordinates, who were frightened half to death by the shotguns of the Fan Merchants on the night of the sneak attack, these people couldn't understand why the Fan Shang's shotguns were so ruthless, and they could kill so many people at once. Soon after the bombing, they found out where the shotguns of the Fan Shang were going to the corner of the city, and Gao Peng discussed with his henchmen whether to go in front of them.

Everyone agrees that they can't stop it at all, so what is this still guarding, run quickly. So in fact, before Colin could lead the people to climb the city wall, the soldiers in the city ran away.

Running out of the left camp, Gao Peng began to panic again, he was losing the city and losing his land. The Manchu government had always had a severe attitude towards such crimes, so whenever the city fell, most civil officials committed suicide. In this regard, they are much stronger than the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, not that the civil officials of the Manchu Qing Dynasty have more backbone than the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, but that the Manchu government is more ruthless to officials. Therefore, in order not to implicate their families, most of the civil officials hanged themselves.

The status of military attachés in the Qing Dynasty was slightly higher, but Gao Peng's death was also dead.

But he didn't want to die yet, so he ran to Fengshan County, and he reported to Fengshan County that the left camp had been attacked by pirates.

He said that he had fought his way out to call for help, and that his men were still holding out. In other words, he has not lost the city and lost his land, he just came to report the news, as long as the reinforcements from Fengshan County go early, it is still too late, and it is too late, then he can't be blamed.

When I asked him how many pirates he had, he said that there were no boundaries, and he could get thousands. When asked where he was, he replied that it was a red-haired thief.

Gao Peng was not arrested, not because of his rhetoric, but because several old men took his money, so he finished saying this and was invited out.

The three highest-ranking civil and military officials of Fengshan County, the county commander, the inspection inspector and the general, gathered together.

"Is he reliable?"

The highest status is, of course, the civil official county commander who was born as a jinshi, but he also had to discuss with the other two, because the Qing Dynasty was not the Ming Dynasty, although there was a concept of nobility and military inferiority, but in fact the status of military generals was not low, especially when the two military attaches were still banner people.

The inspector said: "There may be red hair, but it may not be a red thief." ”

Officials of their level, and they are in Taiwan, so they still know a little about the situation at sea, at least they know that Westerners are very powerful, and since the Dutch ruled Taiwan, Westerners have been called red hairs in Taiwan. Now Spain still rules Luzon, and the Dutch rule the South Seas, even the giants of the sea, and they are often reluctant to provoke foreign ships. However, it is not uncommon for the sea giants to be mixed with a few foreigners, and they also colluded with the Japanese in the past. Therefore, the garrison was reluctant to believe that it was foreigners who suddenly came to attack Taiwan.

The general said: "There may be a thousand, but there may not be a thousand." ”

In recent years, the sea has not been very peaceful, as Fengshan, a county near the sea, they are still more concerned about some coastal defense, and they can often see the news of the sea giants from the palace newspaper issued by the imperial court, especially Cai Lian and Zhu Lian in the Fujian sea area have become the climate, openly collecting sea taxes from merchant ships along the way, as if there is the momentum of Zheng Zhilong in the Ming Dynasty, the two of them have long been wanted by the imperial court, and they naturally know. But even these two people would not be able to gather thousands of people to attack the land. But the scale of 1,000 people is still there.

"Possible clearance?"

The prefectural magistrate asked.

The inspector said: "It's not easy to suppress! ”

The general said: "How about caressing?" ”

When even the military attaché didn't want to fight, it was the end of a dynasty.

The county commander sighed: "The power of Fujian can't be touched yet, how can Fengshan County be cared." ”

If it can really be appeased, Fujian Province will be appeased, where is the turn to get Fengshan County. Giants like Cai Lian and Zhu Lian have been in trouble for many years, but they have not been able to exterminate them, so how can Fengshan County be able to appease them.

The inspector said: "There are 500 soldiers in the South Road Battalion, and there are only 1,200 people who can fight, but there are 1,000 Kou, and how many outlaws are afraid that they will not be able to win." ”

There are 500 soldiers stationed in the county seat of Fengshan County, and there are 500 soldiers, but if anyone does not eat an empty salary, at most 200 people can fight.

Mr. Qian: "How about alerting the state government?" Or ask the sailors to help? ”

Passing the buck to each other, lack of responsibility, the first thing that comes to mind when encountering things is to report to the leader, this is the atmosphere in the officialdom, a twilight, everyone would rather not do things than do wrong things. Either report it to the Taiwan government, or hand it over to the sailor, anyway, it is also the responsibility of the sailor to suppress the sea bandits, and they are trying to deal with the Shengfan.

The county magistrate sighed: "That's all there is to it." ”

Why does the county order want to fight, the generals don't want to fight, not to mention that he is a civil official, he doesn't want to cause trouble, anyway, this is what everyone means, when the time comes, it is impossible to beat the senior officials of Fengshan County to death with a rod, and it is easier for everyone to get away with the crime.

Then the county order was written to the Taiwan government yamen; The inspection was given to two other military camps in Fengshan County, one was the Gangshan Battalion, thirty-five miles north of the left camp, with 180 soldiers; One is the Lower Tamsui Battalion, fifty-five miles east of the left camp, with 300 soldiers. But it would be nice if they could actually have half of their troops. So the inspection is not to let them send troops, but to warn them to be careful.

The generals have the appearance to straighten out the troops and horses, and make plans to go to the army at any time, but they still have to pretend to be a little better.

The three highest-ranking officials of Fengshan County took the matter seriously after a serious discussion, but they did not know that the basis of their discussion was entirely from the exaggeration of the Zuo Ying, and the purpose was to exonerate themselves.

None of these officials wanted to go over to verify one or two, and officialdom is sometimes so funny, but who would take it seriously.

But after their operation, it suddenly made things bigger.
