The warriors knew that the head of the family would treat every Han Chinese well, and they were especially interested in those Han people who had been living abroad, and they quickly brought these people to meet the head of the family. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Huang Sheng was overjoyed to meet the Han people of Luzon, this Spanish colony seemed to be good, and there were already many Han Chinese living there in the late Southern Song Dynasty.

In the fifth year of Longqing, the Spanish colonists invaded Luzon, and they were quite jealous of the Han people, because the Han people had civilization and writing, and were more organized, and they refused to accept the Spanish colonial rule at all.

The Luzon Han people are much richer than the local natives, and the most fundamental reason for every Nanyang exclusion of China is that the Chinese have property and no force. The Spanish colonizers were no exception, and they organized the looting and killing of Han Chinese living in Manila many times, and no less than 200,000 Han Chinese should have been killed.

Huang Sheng said word by word to the six people who knelt down: "Don't be afraid, this official is a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, and he will definitely not hurt you, and you must speak slowly like this official." ”

These people's accents are hard to discern, and it's really hard to understand when they speak quickly.

One of them learned the accent of the Ming Dynasty official dialect and said: "Adult, the little one understands, what do you need to know, the villain must tell the truth." ”

It turned out that Luzon's maritime trade was also very developed, and this lucky ship set sail from the port of Manila and trafficked goods to Edo to a Japanese daimyo surnamed Tsugawa.

The ship, armed with eight six-pounder copper-core cannons and a crew of fifty-seven, was flanked by three pirate ships in the waters off Fukue Island, and the pirate ships swarmed up from three directions, and their guns had only time to make two rounds of gunwales.

The Japanese ronin who became pirates were too powerful in combat, and the result of the resistance on the No. 2 Fuku ship was that they only killed three or four of the other party and were cut in half, and finally everyone was frightened, and they all knelt down to beg, and after being cut off a few sailors who caused pirate casualties, they were tied up and thrown into the bilge where they did not see the light of day.

More than a whole day had passed, no one cared about them, and there was no water to drink, and if it hadn't been for the Ming army to find out, they would have died in less than a day.

The Huang family didn't care who they delivered to, now they were all trophies, and Huang Sheng saw that these people thought that the Ming army had saved them, which was a little funny.

If the pirates wanted to kill them, they would kill them on the spot, and they would not have to bother tying them up one by one, and the reason why they were left alone was that in less than an hour, the pirate ship would be able to rush back to its home port.

Huang Sheng didn't explain and asked: "You speak in an orderly manner, what is your name, what is the work on the ship, and what do they do?" ”

"Back to the adult, the small one is called Li Ximing, it is a tent, the big man is called Li Xihan, he is an arquebusier, he is a small cousin who knows some punches and feet, and that one is a gunner called Beard is ......."

"What are your plans now? How are you going to live in the future? ”

"Adult, it's a blessing that the little one can save a life, so naturally obey the adult's arrangement and work for the slaves."

These people are all sea-runners, they know the rules, the captives can contact their families, send a lot of ransom money can be returned, and they have to find their own way to go home.

Their homes were thousands of miles away, and if they were released at this time, these people would not be able to return, and besides, the captured people were the property of the victors, and it was not up to them whether they were kept as coolies or sold by them.

"Secretary Hexiang, you draft documents for them and leave them as housekeepers!"

These people all knew who the family was, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to recognize the head of the family.

Huang Sheng said: "You work hard in the Huang family, and in the near future, this official will take you to Luzon to let you return to your hometown." You tell the other dozen or so people that they will work hard for the Huang family in the future, and the official will not treat everyone badly. ”

There are no weak people in the men who run the sea, they should all have a skill, of course, they stay to work for themselves, to develop the sea trade needs a large number of sailors and gunners, these skilled hands naturally can not let go.

Li Ximing saw that the official commanding so many warships of the Great Ming Dynasty took him in as a family member to work for him, and immediately adapted to his identity, and said to Huang Sheng:

"My lord, the little one hid the account book when he was caught by the pirates, the ship was not shelled too much, the goods were not destroyed, and this cargo handed over to the Daimyo of Tsugawa can be sold for 93,217 taels of silver."

No wonder there are so many pirates, and the harvest of robbing a merchant ship is too great. Huang Sheng saw that Li Ximing took the initiative to inform the value of the goods and comforted him with kind words and words, so that he could do things well for the Huang family in the future, and he would give him an official and a half-post in the future.

Li Ximing was overjoyed when he got the promise of the head of the family, and knelt down and kowtowed: "The small one must do things seriously, the small one can settle accounts, and he can speak Japanese and Spanish, and he has already run the route from Luzon to Japan eight times." ”

Huang Sheng asked Liu Guozheng to take Li Ximing down to rest, and asked him to pacify the Luzon people who were on the same boat with Li Ximing, and disperse them to stay on the horse boat as sailors.

There was a naval battle here, and the rumbling of artillery had already alarmed the pirate's home port, and the Huang family was destined not to launch a surprise attack, so they simply took it step by step.

All warships cruised outside the fire of enemy batteries, and dozens of fixed binoculars carefully observed the battlefield.

The largest known enemy warships were eight Zhuyin ships and two No. 2 Fu ships, five of which had now been captured by the Huang family, and one of the three warships that participated in the attack on Luzon No. 2 Fu went to the old lair of Xiaoyi Island, and at most four warships in the pirate den on Zuoqian Island that were about to attack.

Unfortunately, the pirate harbor was blocked by a small hill, and it was necessary to follow the waterway around the hill to get a clear view of the port area, and the pirate battery was built on that mountainside, and the artillery could shoot at enemy ships trying to enter the port area.

The three Hongyi cannons should be twelve-pounder guns, and it is impossible for the armed merchant ships coming and going here to install such a large cannon on the ship, and neither can the No. 2 Fu ship, which can be installed, but not the cannons, and the recoil will crack the ship.

The twelve-pounder gun of the Huang family's No. 2 Fu ship was a steel cannon with a barrel hoop, which reduced the weight of the gun body by a small half, reduced recoil, and added shock absorbing springs to the base.

The No. 2 Fu ship has been strengthened and reinforced, and the rifled gun has twice the range of the smoothbore gun.

Therefore, the development of the armed forces must keep pace with the times, and too many historical examples tell us that advanced weapons can completely change the outcome of a war.

If the Ottoman Turkish Sultan Mehmed II had not received heavy artillery, how could he have breached Constantinople? The Byzantine Empire was destroyed by not purchasing the most advanced heavy artillery of the time.

It is said that the merchants and craftsmen first approached Constantine XI and persuaded Mehmed II to buy their new design of expensive guns.

The Huang family has a 20-pounder rifled gun and nine 12-pounder rifled guns, which can completely cover the enemy's batteries without being hit by the pirate battery Hongyi cannon, how can such an offensive and defensive battle pirates win?

The observation came to an end, the preparations began to be perfected, Huang Mingdao arranged the combat mission, Lord Huang Sheng listened, the warship of the Huang family is the lifeblood, there are cross-era artillery, not only can not be defeated, but also ensure that one cannot be lost, and even the enemy can not see the rifling in the barrel.

There is no country that does not have skilled craftsmen, they just lack an idea, and when they see it, they go back and ponder for a year and a half, maybe a product will appear.

You can deal with it without qualified steel, and increasing the wall thickness of the artillery can completely make up for it, but it is a big deal to be more bulky, and it is better than not being able to hit the opponent and being beaten specially.

Huang Mingdao was the best choice to serve as the commander of the Huang family's fleet, he and Huang Mingli were both born to the Huang family, and Huang Sheng shared the same illness, and the relatives of the three died on the way to escape from the Jiannu-controlled area.

His hatred for Jiannu is unforgettable, he is the Huang family who is like a fake, no one can rebel, and the Ming Emperor can't do it.
