Chapter 926: A Greeting to Impermanence (Page 1/1)

Fernández saw that all the coolies had fled, and even if they were forced to stay, the coolies would not be at ease. After tonight, they will know their strength, and they will come back to continue to ship the raw silk to the sea.

A ringing arrow flew into the sky, blasting a cloud of dazzling colors in the otherwise somewhat dark air. The arrows flew very high, and almost the entire Quanzhou people could see this fireworks.

Gao Linfeng rode on his horse and pouted disdainfully at the fireworks in the sky. It's just a few guards of the maritime merchants, and they need to pull all his men and horses away!

But then again, those merchants are really rich! I heard that they had pawned their property a few days ago, and within a few days they had taken out 10,000 silver dollars to ask for their troops.

For this 10,000 silver dollars, the high commander brought out all the soldiers who could fight in his subordinate guards. The 2,700-strong soldiers of the Ming Guard are estimated to be able to frighten the maritime merchants to surrender on their knees without fighting, as long as the people arrive.

Xiyi maritime merchants are not maritime merchants? Unless they didn't want the mountains of raw silk on the shore, they would have been slaughtered by him.

If you can detain the maritime merchants, and think about the silver on the ship, then you will really make a fortune.

When Gao Linfeng was thinking about how to make a fortune, in several courtyards in Quanzhou City, people dressed in black sneaked out of their courtyards slightly.

Their target is the home of several merchants, and the shadow has already penetrated the city of Quanzhou. All the way along the way are hidden alleys, and even if you encounter the occasional pedestrian, you will immediately faint.

Although accidents happened from time to time, there were still thrilling people who came to the outside of the target.

When Gao Linfeng arrived at the dock, the sky had completely settled. They deliberately chose this time to arrive at the dock, the wind is dark and the night is high to kill people, after all, they are officers and soldiers, and it is always inappropriate to be found out about murder during the day.

Gao Linfeng saw this messy scene near the dock, and there was a mess of everything on the ground. Shoes and hats were common at that time, and even there were a few belly pockets, and I don't know how people fell off in the chaos.

In the mess of the ground, the guards also found several money bags. Although there was not much money in it, it also made this group of poor soldiers happy for a long time.

The soldiers brought by Gao Linfeng are said to be the elite of the guard, and these people are only as strong as ordinary people. In this era of average malnutrition, the people who are mainly agrarian are in good health.

The guards are even more unbearable, and training without enough food is even more delusional. They are better than the common people because they have weapons in their hands, and they are somewhat afraid of military law in their hearts.

Gao Linfeng vaguely saw the tall sea ships moored next to the pier, and immediately shouted with a finger with his hand: "Those who attack the Haikou ships first will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and the family's rent will be halved!" Kill! ”

When the soldiers of the guard heard that their main general had offered such a high reward, they immediately rushed towards the big ship excitedly. There is no discipline in the charge in the night, it is completely a rush.

But on the battleship on the dock, it was a different scene, and the soldiers of the Changxing Army on the deck were aiming the Divine Fire Crows at the shore.

Get the order to launch and immediately light the fuse of the Divine Fire Crow. Tongues of fire sprang out of the battleship and flew to the shore in the distance.

More than a dozen tongues of fire landed on the shore, and only six fell into the crowd. The Divine Fire Raven exploded in the crowd, and the mixed oil splashed with a ball of fire on the guard's blade.

A terrible scream sounded in the night sky, and the guards who had been rushing towards the battleship were only slightly stunned, and then turned and ran.

Fernandez looked at the guards who fled in panic for a while, their naval guns had not yet attacked? Why did a round of lighting fire crows burn people away, are these people really soldiers of the Ming Dynasty?

Gao Linfeng was even more angry and shouted on his horse, and he swung his horsewhip and slammed it on the bodies of the soldiers who fled back first, beating them to the point that they were drenched in blood.

"All of them will be given to the general who rushes up, and the reward of fifty taels of silver for the first time on board the ship, and the rent is free for one year. If anyone retreats again, don't blame me for being ruthless! Gao Linfeng could only raise the reward again and add another military law.

This is also something that there is no way to do, and the south has been peaceful for a long time. At the beginning, the Japanese rebellion was still the Qi family army composed of miners from Jinhua and Yiwu.

also cooperated with the wolf soldiers recruited from Sichuan, Shu and Yungui, and a small number of Shandong soldiers to quell the rebellion. If you use the guards in the southeast, even if Qi Jiguang has the ability, he will not be able to train the world-famous Qi family army, and it is very likely that he will be chased by the Japanese and run away.

Gao Linfeng could only use money to improve the morale of the soldiers, and then use military law to deter the soldiers. This is a way out of the way, otherwise the silver dollars have been collected, can they be withdrawn?

The guards regrouped and rushed towards the battleship at the dock again. This time, the fires had not been extinguished, and they still charged according to the original route.

Before it got close to the pier, a series of fire lines rose again on the ship. This time, the guards were much stronger than last time, and they ran away without turning around. rushed forward with a hard head, after all, no one wants to use their own neck to test whether their generals will really enforce military law.

Finally, they approached the distance of the battleship a hundred paces, and the gun windows on the side of the battleship, which had been quiet and motionless, were opened one by one.

Then a thick cannon muzzle was pushed out of the side of the battleship, and before the guards could see what was being pushed out, the overwhelming buckshot hit the charging guards.

The power of the shotshots fired by artillery is enormous, and a single gun must be loaded with at least hundreds of buckshots. So many buckshots intertwined in front of the guards to form a death zone.

The guards who rushed to the front were hit by multiple lead bullets and were instantly beaten into a puddle of minced flesh. The soldiers who followed behind were no better, and were immediately incapacitated when they were hit by a buckshot.

A single round of shelling crippled the guards, who left three or four hundred corpses on the dock and fled back in disarray.

Even in the face of military law, it was just a knife, and those smashed corpses deeply stimulated their nerves. They would rather be beheaded with a knife than turned into a puddle of minced meat.

Gao Linfeng rode on his horse in a daze, and he couldn't say anything about carrying out the orders of the military law.

The moment the battleship opened fire just now, he had the urge to turn around and run. What kind of maritime merchant is this! It's clearly a powerful pirate!

Engaging such an enemy was purely seeking death, and Gao Linfeng immediately ordered a retreat before the battleship could fight back. He didn't want to wade through the muddy waters of Quanzhou City, and it was better to continue to be his soil emperor with the silver dollars given by the merchant than to fight with people here.

Although the Wu family is declining, the hall is still brightly lit today. Several businessmen sat in the hall anxiously waiting for the result, and this was their last chance to turn the tables.

Just when everyone was anxiously waiting, a voice came into their ears: "Shadow Quanzhou Branch Impermanence greets all the shopkeepers!" ”
