Chapter 295: The Big Ship

In just one month, the prefectures and counties around Linyi were caught off guard by Neiying to open the city gates, and after the cavalry that came and went like the wind attacked the city, they did not burn and kill as others imagined, but only captured the yamen and the local large households.

Except for the highest-ranking magistrates, such as the prefectural magistrate, whose heads were cut off, the rest of the people only need to hand over the grain and silver in your hands to ensure that you will be safe and sound.

After Chen Deaf's rebellion in the counties of Yanzhou, because Chen Deaf had many cavalry, the trade of horses was very strictly controlled, but the officers and soldiers did not have too much cavalry, and the short-distance transfer was comparable to the swiftness of the cavalry, and it was often the nearby officers and soldiers who knew the news. The cavalry who smelled the sword had already left with the plundered gold and silver treasures, many times.

But because the White Lotus Sect bandits were all suppressed severely, and the team that smelled the knife was only aimed at money, and resolutely did not allow their subordinates to harm people's lives, they did not make much noise every time they entered the city.

Linyi was ravaged by the White Lotus bandits, but it did not affect the communication of the trade routes, especially after the White Lotus bandits were suppressed by the officers and soldiers and the people, they actually returned to their previous state.

As for King Jing and the dead residents of Linyi City, whoever cares about it will die, and surprisingly, the number of merchants who come and go to Linyi is actually a lot more, especially grain merchants and cloth merchants, and even human traffickers. In this way, a large amount of the money looted by the knife was spent, and it was exchanged for materials and labor.

As a result, in addition to the earth-shattering Linyi case that night, in addition to the robbery of the broken city, the surroundings of Linyi gradually quieted down, and the officers and soldiers gathered here were gradually tired.

Why bother the brothers are here waiting for orders from above, and they can't advance or retreat.

The master of ceremonies in Beijing is dealing with the documents in various places, and the current great eunuch Huang Jin of Bingbi stays here every day, and he is one of the few people who knows the real reason for the transfer of troops around Shandong, so he has been paying close attention to the rebellion in Linyi this time.

Daming's post station and message transmission system are extremely backward, Huang Jin sadly found that his younger brother Huang Ping's private message was actually much faster than the news of the post station, Huang Ping said that Shandong's private salt business did not stop at all, and there was no obstacle when the salt dealers passed through Linyi.

It is also mentioned that the regular money charged by those green forest cottages in Yimeng Mountain to salt lords and salt merchants is also paid as usual, and the price has not been raised or changed, but now the money is handed over to the head of Wendao.

Huang Jin shook his head there, thinking that Emperor Jiajing would be angry after the fall of the pro-feudal domain, but the emperor's reaction was quite calm, and he just said lightly:

"Let the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion deal with it."

Then he continued his alchemy and sought the Tao, Huang Jin was quite surprised at the time, of course, he didn't show it on his expression, but he quickly figured it out, for the emperor, the vassal king who had a good reputation in the local area was not a good relative, and he would rather these relatives of his own do evil to the place, at least it was very reassuring.

What's more, the case of King Heng a few years ago, the reputation of King Heng in Qingzhou was too good, but it was later found that he was buying people's hearts, who knew that King Jing had such a good reputation and there was no conspiracy, of course, the deeper reason is that the palace was also known for its 'benevolence', which was an important reason why only Jiajing was on the throne after the death of Emperor Zhengde.

"Father-in-law, this is Shandong's expedited excerpt."

A feminine voice interrupted his thinking, Huang Jin raised his eyes and saw that it was a pen-writing eunuch looking at him with a flattering smile, Huang Jin nodded and reached out to take the fold, looked at it a few times, his face became pale, his hands began to tremble, and the little eunuch on the side hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern after seeing it:

"Father-in-law, why are you ......?"

Huang Jinteng stood up suddenly, and the little eunuch happened to come in front of him to see what was going on, Huang Jin slapped him heavily and shouted angrily:

"Bastard things, don't stop it, our family wants to see the emperor!"

After Linyi was quiet for a while, the so-called eighteen villages of Wendao did something quite shocking, the so-called "Xing Wang Yuanzong, colluding with the eunuchs, inheriting the unification, and King Jing ...... virtuous"

These words and sentences are quite good, at first glance, it is a master to catch a knife, but no one will pay attention to this, and no one even cares about things like the so-called edict, at that time, the Xingxian palace was thousands of miles away from the Beijing Division, and it was weak, how to collude.

But it was someone who rebelled under the banner of the vassal king, and although it was said to be a captivity, the incident in Linyi City happened so coincidentally that day, and after looking at the Jing Wangfu, it was found that there was no evidence of the death of the royal family, and it could only be said that it was taken captive, and now it seems that it may have been colluded for a long time.

Otherwise, how could the surrounding counties open the city gates so coincidentally and let them plunder.

Now the nature of the matter has completely changed, at first it was just a daring bandit burning, killing and looting, but now it can be said that the royal family is rebelling, and he is also the uncle of Emperor Zhengde, to put it bluntly, he is also Jiajing's uncle, and the bloodline of the successor to the throne is even higher than that of Jiajing's emperor.

The battle of Jingjing is also a battle between uncle and nephew!

Moreover, the variables of this kind of war are extremely large, Zhu Di fought in the north for a long time, and only occupied Yanjing, Baoding and Tianjin, but after the lone army went south into Nanjing City, it was immediately spread to the world, and the result was immediately the world was pacified, it was originally a family affair of the Son of Heaven, why did the people below bother to fight for life and death.

The matter was quickly determined, the pro-clan rebelled, and there was a conspiracy for a long time, the Di newspaper said that King Jing has always been sanctimonious, and the city is kind to the people, and this time he colluded with bandits to do bad things. The governor of Yizhou took precautions after discovering it, and was about to arrange the arrest, but he didn't expect to be discovered by the king of Jing, who killed the prefect and plundered the whole city and fled into the mountains.

The emperor was furious, and an urgent document was sent from Beijing to Henan, Shandong, and Nanzhili, demanding that all localities be famous and exterminated, and there should be no mistakes.

The entire ship's weapons and supplies were disembarked in the port controlled by the Shijiu battalion, and the names of these things were all about the supplies of the officers and soldiers, which were used to pay for the fees, but after leaving the port, there was nothing left to be received by the men and horses who smelled the knife.

May in Dengzhou is the best season, around the dock of Yantai Mountain Private Port, the soldiers of the Jiang army are on strict alert, and the capital city of Dengzhou has also received news that the road leading to Yantai Mountain must be closed because of the suppression of bandits.

This day is the day when the new ship is launched, and all the senior generals of the Jiang family army are on the edge of the dock, although many people are very puzzled, saying that it is not a boat launched, as for calling everyone back at this time, but when they saw the ship in the port, everyone was shocked.

It was completely different from any sailing ship in the harbor, even the Rooster of the Foreigner, with its white sails, graceful hull, and swarthy guns on either side of the hull.

Jiang Feng couldn't help but be a little moved when he stood there, now in front of him was the East Asian sea, no, or the most powerful sea hegemon on the Asian sea, he came to this era and was able to have a relationship with this 'most', it was really exciting.

The leader of the white craftsmen on the side is no longer the kind of down-and-out appearance that came to Dengzhou back then, and now he is wearing a rather elaborate and improved version of Western clothing, and they can naturally hire a tailor to make those expensive clothes for themselves when they have silver, although the Chinese pronunciation is blunt, but it is also very proficient, but there is still a translation, this is some words that Westerners often can't help but say in their native language, but Jiang Feng doesn't like the other party to say words that he doesn't understand.

"Your Excellency, because of your genius idea, this ship is bigger than we conceived, with a displacement of six hundred and fifty tons, and can carry more guns, one hundred and four guns, and if you had not asked for larger caliber guns, our ships could have been loaded with more guns."

Speaking of this, the leader of the craftsmen bowed his head there and pondered for a moment, and added:

"If the wind is right, the ship can reach up to twenty-eight miles per hour."

Obviously, in order to understand Lord Jiang's nautical knowledge, this white man still converted the nautical unit in his heart, from the knot, or the sea to the 'li' that the Oriental understands, of course, he didn't know that Jiang Feng had repeated the conversion there:

"Well, it turned out to be fourteen kilometers."

After the craftsman of the shipyard finished introducing, the craftsman who cast the cannon on the side approached again, and the work was done by the old craftsmen and the white people, and the old craftsmen played a decisive role, where they first saluted Jiang Feng respectfully, and then introduced in a hoarse voice:

"Your Excellency, there are thirty-two twelve-pounder guns on the lower deck, twenty six-pounder guns on the middle deck, sixteen twelve-pounder guns, sixteen twelve-pounder guns on the open deck, and twenty franc guns on the front and rear ships."

Listening to these boring figures, Jiang Feng nodded slowly, although his face was still calm, but he could see that the joy on his face was getting stronger and stronger, and the old craftsman said playfully:

"My lord, these cannons are all at the level of general cannons in the imperial court......"

On the sea near Jeju Island, Zhao Sanshui stood at the bow of an armed merchant ship, pointed to the ships in front of him and shouted:

"Let them stop, and if you don't stop, you'll bombard me! If you pass by, you have to pay money, and if you don't pay, you will bombard it!
