Chapter 375: Graceful Jiangnan
Chu Er and the personal maids she brought with her were all girls from the north, where had they seen the grace of Jiangnan, and they were immediately attracted by the charming scenery of the island, pestering Huang Sheng to lead them to play. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
They came to the Huang family to rebuild the Chaoguo Temple, which was built in the second year of Jin Tianfu after five generations, and made incense and made a wish. I came to the beach to play in the water, and then I went to climb Moxin Mountain.
The mountains are indeed beautiful, and even Huang Sheng, a layman, feels relaxed and happy in the face of the sea.
The factories and dwellings built by the Huang family are all close to the mountains and rivers and refuse to occupy the limited arable land, and the 30,000 acres of tuntian fields on Daishan Island have already yielded output, and less than 40,000 stone wheat was harvested in April.
Zhoushan's 50,000 acres of land came to hand relatively late, and the wheat did not have time to be sown, and now a ditch has just been built and planted with rice, and if the wind and rain are smooth, it should not be a problem to harvest 60,000 or 70,000 stone of rice in autumn, and the yield per mu of rice is much higher than that of wheat, but there are many rice fields in Zhoushan that are not cooked land, and the yield is less.
Huang Shengguan took care of the three and stopped destroying forests to make land, Daishan Island can have these 30,000 acres of tuntian, which already accounts for 20% of the total area of Daishan Island.
After all, the direction of development here is industry and commerce, and tourism will be developed in the future in peacetime, and if the population is not self-sufficient, it will not matter if it is not self-sufficient, it will be conveniently purchased by sea.
Gu San learned that the housewife and the head of the family were traveling together, and immediately came to pay a big salute to see him, Gu San has been busy on Daishan Island, and he has not seen Chu'er, the eldest woman of the Huang family.
Chu Er learned that this strong man who was a little lame was Gu Ling'er's father, where was he willing him to kneel, politely helped him up, and told Gu San that after the old man's worry, he would give Ling'er the title of sister.
Gu San saw that the housemother was so friendly and relieved, and he was happy that his daughter had achieved positive results.
The fleet used these five days to overhaul on Daishan Island, Huang Sheng rarely relaxed, and accompanied Chu'er to take Hexiang to the beach to play, Huang Sheng didn't care about the identity of any court official, he wore big pants sewn by Hexiang himself to swim.
A group of little girls followed, and Bai Shengsheng's little feet left a series of footprints on the beach. They can't be like the girls of later generations who wear three-point styles to swim in the sea, and they only dare to step on the sea water to feel cool.
There was no one else here, and the soldiers of the Huang family all tacitly went to the beach on the other side of the island to swim and relax, and the pro-soldiers followed from a distance and did not approach at all, because there were the daughters of the head of the family here.
Under the parasol sewn from canvas, Huang Sheng held Chu'er's Qianqian jade feet and played with them, and Hexiang and several girls giggled.
Although Chu'er blushed and didn't care, she generously enjoyed her husband's caresses, and the hostess of the big family was like this, making love to the lord and not avoiding the maids and servants in the family at all, and sometimes letting them push their waists to help .......
Sailing from Huangjiawan Island to Zhoushan Island is going offshore, no pirates were found at all, and some of the merchant ships that came and went seemed to be the official ships of the Ming Dynasty, and they were not embarrassed to start.
Huang Mingdao made countless plans for robbery, but he didn't implement them once, and he was extremely depressed.
After setting sail from Daishan Island again, he decided not to go close to the sea, and Huang Mingdao, the commander-in-chief of the naval division, wanted to see if he would encounter merchant ships running to Japan or the Ryukyus if he was farther away from the mainland.
Gradually, there was a gain, and in a few days two Vermilion ships and three Galen ships were forced down, and there were no casualties, because there was no fighting.
The two Zhuyin ships that had ganged up to make a fortune were unknowingly surrounded by more than a dozen warships of the Huang family, and their first reaction was to escape, and soon they found that the other boats were too fast to run at all.
Later, the Huang warships fired warning shots outside the range of their artillery fire, and dozens of artillery guns fired at once, knocking out the courage of the two Zhuyin ships to resist at once, and they wisely chose to surrender, because they found that the other party was not a pirate but a Ming army, and they were lucky.
Who knew that the Ming army also looted, but they didn't kill people indiscriminately, leaving their lives.
The three Galen ships were not captured together, they were all opportunists who wanted to make a windfall, they didn't even have artillery, they relied entirely on adventure and speed to get a fortune, and when they saw the speed and artillery fire of the Ming army, they knew that it was impossible to make a fortune, and immediately decided to surrender to save their lives.
The Huang family did not cause a killing, got five ships, and possibly received a ransom from the captive family, which finally made Huang Mingdao feel more comfortable.
At the end of May, after three days without prey, the lookout post reported the discovery of a fleet of twelve Vermilion ships.
With a big deal to do, except for the flagship 'Liaodong' on which the head of the Huang family was riding, other new warships participated in the round-up.
This team sailed in formation, never expecting to encounter a large number of warships surrounding them, and they refused to be captured because of the strong guns of the ships, and they did not pay any attention to the military deterrence of the Ming army.
Twelve Vermilion ships lined up in geese and rushed at full speed towards the Huang family's warships that had formed an encirclement, and they were ready to fight for a ship that was destroyed and crashed out of the encirclement.
Huang Mingdao was interested in seeing that he finally met a hard bone, since they didn't want to give the other party a way to live, they had no choice but to fire a salvo of artillery and take force to seize the ship.
The battleship "Yangzhou" he was riding on had already crossed the ship, and six other small battleships, such as the "Jiangyin," had already been lined up in accordance with the Huangjia Naval Division's combat regulations, and they were almost connected from end to end.
This was the first time that the battleship formation had experienced actual combat, and the Zhu Yin ship, which was desperate to rush into battle, was ravaged by 21 rifled guns from a nautical mile away, and when it approached 500 paces, it was joined by 63 smoothbore guns.
The other party was beaten so bitterly that he had no power to fight back, and the several Vermilion ships that took the lead in the attack had no sails, and there was not even a single survivor on the deck.
At this time, the Huang family's No. 2 fortune boat and dozens of grass skimming boats also surrounded them.
The Zhuyin ship was surrounded by groups, and it stands to reason that the disparity in strength has been obvious, and the Japanese should know that there is no possibility of escaping at all, but this group of Japanese is very tenacious, and they have not surrendered when all the sails are knocked out by the Huang family's fleet.
The Huang family had no choice but to launch a broadside battle, but they couldn't run anyway, so they cleaned up one by one.
Later, Huang Mingdao finally knew that the Japanese were preparing to rely on the strong combat effectiveness of their samurai, and knew that their artillery could not defeat the Ming army, so he waited for the Ming army to jump to help seize the ship.
They want good things. Prepare to win when the battle is short-handed, and strive to capture some Ming troops who jumped to the gang as hostages, so as to negotiate terms with the Ming army.
It's a pity that it backfired, the Ming army didn't see it, and it was the same Japanese ronin who jumped up in hand-to-hand combat, the martial arts were not worse than them, the equipment was better than them, and there was one point that was the most indignant, this was not a fair contest, and the Ming army was constantly shooting cold shots.
This is a duel between the Japanese ronin and the samurai, fortunately, the Huang family took the method of solving the problem one by one with local superior forces, and the two new warships attacked the opponent one by one, the musketeers blocked the opponent's firepower, and the ronin jumped the gang with a pheasant knife.
The Japanese, who were delusional about turning the tables, had no chance to take advantage of it, so they bravely brandished their pheasant knives and shouted and charged, and after a crackling gunshot, they fell more than halfway, and their opponents exhorted them to give up resistance and surrender immediately in standard Japanese, while also brandishing pheasant knives three or four times to slash and kill a samurai who was lucky enough to approach them.
In this way, the plot is repeated, and when half of the Zhuyin ships are successfully captured, the other party collectively surrenders when he sees that the general trend has gone.
After interrogation, the prisoners learned that their leader was a Japanese merchant named Hamada Yabei, who was unfortunately beaten into a sieve by a flowering bullet and could not speak.
