In the newly completed barracks conference hall on Daishan Island, Huang Sheng had a secret conversation with Li Guozhu, saying that he should say goodbye to his fleet and return to Japan east after he had been out for half a year, and he would always share the spoils with him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Huang Sheng gave him eight well-equipped ships with seals, plus thirty ships No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5, and gave him 300,000 taels of silver, as well as 50 captured six-pound copper-core cannons and 2,000 pirates who surrendered.

These pirates were captured at the same time without a family, they belonged to the people who had nothing to worry about, they were too gangster, Huang Sheng thought that there were too many people to control, so he simply let them continue to be pirates.

Li Guozhu's warship followed Lord Huang to attack, just beating the side drum, it was a dispensable existence, and his subordinates had made a lot of money with the robbery, I really didn't expect Lord Huang to distribute and seize it so generously.

Lord Huang's shot was too extravagant, and it was equivalent to giving him the benefit of nearly one million silver at once.

This kid didn't dare to ask for it, so he excused himself and said: "My lord, I came to the South China Sea and got mixed with the body of a five-grade military attaché, and I eliminated the threat of Zheng Yiguan's house, and I have already made a lot of money, and I definitely can't take many things from adults." ”

Huang Sheng got too many captures this time, because the gang jumping battle was done by Li Guozhu's soldiers, and the casualty rate of the Huang family's soldiers was very low, it was originally a business with no capital for the two families to work together, of course, they had to share the spoils with others, and Li Guozhu's subordinates also killed a hundred and dozens of soldiers.

Huang Sheng still has important things to ask Li Guozhu to fully support, and giving him 2,000 soldiers and many warships is to let him know that he will not suffer a loss if he works for himself.

"Lord Li, now that we are our own people, and this official doesn't speak outside words, don't you think the distance between Huangjiawan Island and your private port is too far?"

Li Guozhu comprehended and knew which island this unsophisticated Lord Huang should seek to seize again, so he came to the spirit and said: "If your Excellency has any opinions, even if you open your mouth, Xia Guan will not frown in the fire." ”

"Territory, we need a larger island to operate, the official is in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, some things are too inconvenient to do."

On the larger island between his own private port and Huangjiawan Island, Li Guozhu immediately knew where Lord Huang had taken a fancy, and blurted out: "Jeju Island, my lord has taken a fancy to Jeju Island." You say let the subordinate do what he does, and the subordinate listens to you. ”

Jeju Island is close to 2,000 square kilometers and is also an overseas territory of other countries, with a unique geographical location, not far from Japan, Korea, Zhoushan, and the Ryukyu Kingdom.

The Huang family has been in business for a few years, and with Huang Sheng's modern business philosophy, it will soon become a free trade island, and it is not a dream to become the most prosperous commercial port.

The strength of the soldiers here has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty, so as not to gather heavy troops in the land of the Ming Dynasty is too dazzling and easy to be criticized. The bad Huang Sheng tempted Li Guozhu and said:

"No one knows that you are already a military attache of the Ming Dynasty, so you will be a big pirate one last time, magnify your courage, go back and get ready, and start attacking Jeju Island next autumn, and you will beat me hard, so that they will go to the Ming Dynasty for help, and then the official will operate, and let the imperial court send this official with soldiers and horses to aid the court."

Li Guozhu already knew that this unsophisticated adult had strength, his eyes began to glow, and he said happily: "Great, didn't the Korean state lead the wolf into the room, bah, bah, the lower official said the wrong thing." ”

It should not be difficult for the Huang family and the Li family to plot to seize Jeju Island in an embarrassment, but it must be carried out quietly, and Daming cannot be alerted.

"It doesn't matter, that's the case, after you seize Jeju Island, you use this place as a base to continue to plunder the coast of North Korea, and from time to time go ashore to grab a handful and leave, when the official comes with people, you will openly surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and it will not be a problem to add an official to the knighthood at that time, and the official will take the opportunity to take Jeju Island to operate."

"The adult's plan is impeccable, but I'm afraid that the people of the lower officials may not be able to beat the Korean sailors who came from all over the country!"

"It doesn't matter, it's not just your pirates who plundered North Korea, there are also several groups of pirates who continue to attack North Korean sailors, and in less than a year, North Korea will hardly have any warships to go to sea!"

Li Guozhu already knew the combat effectiveness of the Huang family's warship, and when he saw him say this, he knew that this Huang master would make a cameo appearance as a pirate and rob the warship of the Korean sailors, and he was immediately full of confidence.

patted his chest and said: "My lord, in less than two years, North Korea will not be able to seize Jeju Island, which will be the territory of adults in the future." ”

Huang Sheng did not have any psychological pressure at all on the island of the Stick Country, and he was also indifferent to how much bloodshed would be caused by Li Guozhu's raiding of the North Korean coast.

What did the Korean division do in Nanjing, the capital of the Republic of China, in 1937? The dynasty deliberately diluted it, but Huang Sheng remembered it in his heart, those stick soldiers were several times more vicious than the Japanese devils.

Li Guozhu had many warships, all of which were empty, so he proposed to go to Huangjiashan Island to have a look, and by the way, bring back the goods that were traded in Japan.

Zheng Yiguan's new defeat is impossible to threaten his private port, so he is not in a hurry to go back, this kid is in good spirits on happy occasions, and it seems that following Lord Huang can not only loot everywhere, but also defect to Daming and get the rank of general.

It was the end of November when the fleet returned to Huangjiawan Island, and the news of the return of the head of the family spread all over the streets and alleys, the island was boiling, and thousands of people came to the port to greet their relatives, and they were also a little apprehensive and uneasy, and even Zhao Rui, the big housekeeper who had a big belly, was supported by Gu Ling'er to pick up the head of the house.

The Huang family has great respect for the fallen soldiers, and the soldiers who died in the naval battle did not wrap the remains of the soldiers and throw them into the sea like other armies, but were embalmed by the soldiers and brought back to Shuangdingshan on Huangjiawan Island with coffins for burial.

This time, a total of thirty-two warriors were sacrificed, they were all sailors and gunners, all in all, there were too many uncertainties in naval battles, even if it was a one-sided battle, as long as a few cannons were fired back by the enemy, casualties would be caused, and the probability of death of sailors and gunners without armor was too high, and it was imperative to equip rattan armor.

The first thing the head of the family did when he came back was, of course, to bury the martyrs, appease the martyrs' families, and place more than 80 disabled soldiers.

With the introduction of such a policy, many soldiers who returned from injuries and thought that their physical strength had declined or that they might lose their competitiveness in the army with sequelae began to take the initiative to contact civilian officials to prepare for retirement, and to give up their chances of being a regular soldier of the Huang family to their relatives at home.

This is harmless, just let it be, the era of the Huang family's great immigration has arrived, and there are too many civil officials and teachers needed, these literate warriors who have experienced war and navigation are treasures.

As a result of participating in the Great Voyage and seeing exotic customs, their knowledge and vision have been ahead of hundreds of millions of Ming people, and their becoming grassroots civil officials will bring about the overall progress of the Huang family's civil officials.

This trip to the South Seas was very profitable for the Huang family, and of course it was necessary for all the hard-working soldiers to share.

The next thing is to reward meritorious deeds, this time the soldiers who follow the head of the family to run Nanyang for half a year can get double pay and reward silver. The auxiliaries with the least amount of silver can earn thirty taels of silver.

Many ordinary soldiers who have made meritorious contributions have received more than 100 taels, and there are many officers who have received 300 taels, and casualties are inevitable in battle, and the people of the Huang family are not afraid of sacrifice, they think it is worth risking their lives to fight for the future.

Huang Sheng gave a one-time payment of more than 500,000 taels of silver plus a reward, not only the soldiers who participated in the attack, but even the craftsmen who worked hard were rewarded with more than a month's monthly money.
