Chapter 342: Let the Tiger Return to the Mountain
It seems that He Bin has some hidden treasure and wants to buy his life with hidden property, and everyone present heard it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Spare your life? How can it be so easy? A treasure trove? He Bin didn't say that he was tortured! Besides, all of his family members were caught, and none of the big leaders under his command ran away, and it was the Huang family's private soldiers who tried to interrogate each separately, as long as they were not afraid of life or death, they would try it.
Huang Sheng waved his hand in annoyance, and Liu Guozheng understood how to search for treasure with Huang Dongshan.
As soon as Guo Huai saw that He Bin wanted to buy his life with silver, he was rejected, and secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, glad that he recognized the reality and took the initiative to admit it.
He stood up and said, "My lord, the little one has been in the rivers and lakes for nearly twenty years, and he has some experience in dealing with people like He Bin, and the little one can follow Lord Liu to give advice." ”
Fight poison with poison, good! Huang Sheng agreed to Guo Huaiyi's request. got the work allowed by Lord Huang, Guo Huaiyi was really serious, and Huang Dongshan was much easier.
The Ming army took the fortress that He Bin had painstakingly managed, and there were two people in the meeting cabin like a man, and Li Guozhu was thinking, how is the defense of his home port compared to here?
He doesn't have such a strong castle yet, if Lord Huang's arrogant soldiers attack his own territory in the future, how many hours can the Li family hold out?
Xu Xinsu was thinking, if Lord Huang took his command to take the left office, I am afraid that it would only take two hours to do it, and with Lord Huang's command intervening in the South China Sea, Zheng Yiguan is afraid that it will be finished sooner or later, and I will accompany and serve this unsophisticated civil official in the future.
Nearly 10,000 fishermen and pirates were captured and rescued along the way, all of whom were taken to Xiweiyu for care, and the seized grain was too much enough for these people to eat for more than five years, but the shelf life of the grain may not be possible.
The Huang family's private soldiers attacked here with flowering bullets, which were very lethal and destructive, and then the pirates surrendered, and the city street fighting did not start, so it can be said that a fortress was completely taken over, and only the south wall suffered some damage.
Huang Sheng didn't care whether this fortress had a name before, and named it "Jinghai Fort" himself.
The army dug three feet into the ground here to hunt for treasure, and used fatigue interrogation and torture to extract a confession against He Bin.
Huang Dongshan interrogated dozens of He Bin's closest leaders and family members separately, telling these people that the Ming army only punished the culprits and did not harm the family, but who dared to know and not report it, and the fate waiting for him was He Bin's funeral.
Guo Huaiyi, who was attentive, secretly congratulated himself that he did not choose to resist to the end, and when he saw He Bin, who was tortured and dying, he had the feeling of sadness that the rabbit was dead and the fox was dead.
This kid knew many of He Bin's henchmen, and used the method of singing white faces to let these people know that they would receive leniency for meritorious service, and finally everyone confessed honestly under coercion and temptation.
It was confirmed that the gold and silver treasures hidden by He Bin's pirate gang were absolutely not missing.
The benefits of the Huang family in Xiweiyu are double that of Xiaomenyu, and they are all very happy, and no one under Li Guozhu's command dares to reach out when they are greedy, and the combat effectiveness of the Huang family's private soldiers is already their nightmare.
Under the assistant of Li Guo, who was very arrogant in the past, after fighting a few battles with the Huang family's private soldiers, they all became good soldiers who abided by the law and discipline, and they were all accompanied by smiling faces when they saw the Huang family, especially those ronins who admired the strong.
Huang Sheng decided to leave a part of his troops at the "Jinghai Fort" and go home together while waiting for the combined fleet to return, because there were many light and serious wounded who were not suitable for the voyage, so they stayed here to recuperate and receive treatment.
The more than 10,000 people who have been obtained cannot be given up, let alone taken to Nanyang for a spin, so they can only take care of them on the spot and take them away when they return to the sea.
Huang Sheng decided to accept it when he saw it, and did not go to Longgang to trouble Zheng Yiguan, but to complete the agreement and send the goods of the maritime trade partners to Manila Port on Luzon Island for Ye Chengjing to trade.
In the 'Liaodong' cabin, Huang Sheng told Ye Chengjing, Xu Xinsu and Li Guozhu about his plan.
Xu Xinsu and Zheng Yiguan are now old grudges and new feuds, and the reason why he followed him on the boat was to watch Lord Huang kill Zheng Yiguan with his own eyes.
Seeing that the combined fleet had cleaned up the two groups of the Eighteen Zhi Alliance without much effort, he was looking forward to Lord Huang making persistent efforts to dominate the South China Sea in one fell swoop.
Hearing that Lord Huang had the meaning of letting Zheng Yiguan go, he was puzzled: "Lord Huang, Zheng Yiguan's guy has already lost troops in your hands, if you don't take the opportunity to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, I'm afraid that the kid will be detrimental to the adults if he eases up!" ”
Li Guozhu also echoed: "My lord, the lower officials are here to crusade against Zheng Yiguan, and now that guy is newly defeated, and our army's repeated victories are just when morale is like a rainbow, why did your lord let the tiger return to the mountain?" ”
"Without him, the rabbit is in a hurry and bites! At this moment, Zheng Yiguan is sharpening his knife Huo Huo is ready to fight with us, this official has never fought as the enemy wants, they think that the Ming army must go, this official will not go, let him wait slowly! ”
Huang Sheng carefully analyzed Zheng Yiguan's current strength in Longgang, and explained why he didn't strike while the iron was hot to deal with Zheng Yiguan, who was waiting for the battle.
Xu Xinsu, Li Guozhu and Ye Chengjing are not idle people, they all deeply admired Huang Sheng after listening to the possibility of Lord Huang's analysis. People are brave and strategic, no wonder they can't be defeated in a hundred battles.
Li Guozhu and the others are well aware of the pirate nature, this time Zheng Yiguan's strength has been damaged, and there is a great possibility that they will cause civil strife if the foreign enemy does not become a threat.
The Huang family is going to Nanyang to escort the armed forces, and the return date is uncertain, Xu Xinsu still has a lot of things to deal with there, and he needs to gather the warship and prepare for a comeback.
Lord Huang has made it clear that the Huang family, a thousand soldiers in Kinmen, will never be involved, and Xu Xinsu is responsible for all of them. Li Guozhu also promised that he would just hang a name and leave a way out, and would not come here to point fingers.
Xu Xin has always had strength, and the most important thing is that he has money, and he believes that with his own ability and strength, the Kinmen guerrilla generals will soon be overtaken by him, and he should have a great future in running the large and small Kinmen Island as a base for development.
Xu Xinsu received a clear reply that he could really have a thousand general sailors, and he decided that without further ado, he immediately resigned and returned to Xiamen Port to convene the old department to expand its strength.
Huang Sheng generously gave him some captures, including three well-equipped No. 2 Fu ships and six straw skimming boats, as well as twenty six-pound copper-core iron cannons and 500 sailors and gunners among the pirate captives.
Lord Huang rescued Xu Xinsu and the soldiers and civilians of the city in the middle left, and also gave him warships and equipment worth more than 200,000 taels of silver.
Xu Xinsu was grateful, knelt down and kowtowed very sincerely, saying that no matter what drive Lord Huang had in the future, as long as he came to inform him, he would definitely die after he went out.
Huang Sheng also told him not to take the initiative to provoke Zheng Yiguan for the time being, if it was found that Zheng Yiguan still dared to plunder Fujian, the joint fleet would not be so easy to talk about when the joint fleet came again next year, and he would definitely be beaten to death at that time.
Huang Sheng needs time, and in a year, at least nine thousand-ton warships will be launched at home, and there are many other small warships and cargo ships, and his strength will be raised to a higher level.
And Zheng Yiguan's strength will drop by one level after a year of internal and external troubles, and of course it will get twice the result with half the effort.
Xu Xinsu has grown wise by eating a trench, and he figured it out when he was surrounded by the Zhongzuo Institute, what is the use of saving one hundred thousand taels of silver? Why not raise a large number of soldiers and buy warships?
This time he went back to do something completely different, no longer to be a miser, to vigorously develop the armed forces, no longer to rely on people's snorts.
