The pirates under Zheng Zhilong, who used to make a living by robbing houses and clubs, although there were many of them, could not fight against the regular troops of the security army who had experienced the bloody battle with the Houjin people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info When the security artillery fired two volleys, the pirates were blinded and felt like they were in hell, surrounded by loud explosions and fire and blood.

When the security forces rushed in line to sweep the pirates running around the battlefield with buckshot, the entire Zheng Zhilong team collapsed.

Zheng Zhilong and his personal soldiers couldn't control the pirates even if they tried their best to kill, and Zheng Zhilong had to flee with his cronies when he saw that the big thing was gone.

The security forces pursued the pirates in a devastating manner. Most of the pirates saw that they could not escape and had to surrender as prisoners, they regretted not surrendering early, and they could still live a normal life if they surrendered early, and now they will definitely not have a good result if they are defeated and captured.

Zheng Zhilong, who escaped, is now like a frightened bird, watching the security army continue to advance, he feels frightened, but he is reluctant to give up the wealth he has accumulated over the years, and is unwilling to surrender or abandon everything and flee. When Zheng Zhilong hesitated, a young general under him made a move, he was Shi Lang, who was defeated and retreated with Zheng Zhilong. Shi Lang defected to Zheng Zhilong when he was very young, and he was promoted to the commander of the army at a young age, but Shi Lang did not show much loyalty to Zheng Zhilong. Seeing Zheng Zhilong's defeat, he knew that the Zheng family was gone, so he contacted a few of his subordinates and suddenly killed Zheng Zhilong in his dream. Shi Lang took Zheng Zhilong's head and defected to Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu was not very surprised to hear the news that Zheng Zhilong was killed, it was very legitimate for this kind of thing to happen when the tree was falling and scattering, but when he heard that it was Shi Lang who killed Zheng Zhilong, he was still taken aback.

This history has to show its presence at all times. It was still Shi Lang who destroyed the Zheng family, and it did not change because Zhang Chu advanced everything.

For Shi Lang, Zhang Chu kept him and did not snub him because of his betrayal. Zhang Chu was confident that through training, Shi Lang would be loyal to the security forces, and that the security forces' mechanisms would prevent chaos caused by the rebellion of a single officer. More importantly, Zhang Chu believes that the security army will develop greatly in the future, and no one will leave a group with a bright future to seek refuge with others.

As soon as Zheng Zhilong died, his men and horses were leaderless, and they surrendered one after another under the strong military pressure of the security army. The security forces took control of the entire territory of Fujian at once.

Zhang Chu immediately screened and selected the pirates who surrendered, and some of the pirate leaders who had committed the most heinous crimes and had a lot of blood debts were duly punished, and the rest of the large number of elite personnel were added to the ranks of the security army. The strength of the security forces in the south has suddenly increased a lot.

This battle was a huge gain for Zhang Chu. The wealth accumulated by Zheng Zhilong and other pirate leaders over the years fell into the hands of Zhang Chu, and Zhang Chu certainly did not hide the treasure like other pirates.

Zhang Chu took out all his belongings, opened a large number of factories in Fujian, built many shipyards, began to produce weapons and various commodities needed by the security forces, built large warships, and expanded the ranks of the security forces.

The people of Fujian looked at the war at their doorstep with horror, the life of people in the troubled world is not as good as a dog, the two sides of the war, Zheng Zhilong, have been plagued in Fujian for many years, and everyone knows that his men and horses are the foundation of pirates. I heard that the security army that came to attack was composed of thieves from Shaanxi, and it seems that it is not much better.

Fortunately, the speed of the security army's attack was very fast, and Zheng Zhilong's pirates were defeated before they could do anything. The pursuing security forces fully demonstrated to the people of Fujian what it means to be an organized and disciplined civilized army.

After contact, the people gradually recognized the security army. Next, the security army's management of the Fujian region was very smooth. The former government personnel became prisoners of the security forces, and the security army organized the armor protection system to firmly control all the people.

The most fearful are some wealthy people in Fujian, who are also pampered in peacetime when wars break out. In the frightened battle, the strict military discipline of the security army made the rich people suffer no loss like the common people, and the people have begun to live a normal life, but the hearts of the rich have not been put down. They were still afraid that the security forces would raid them after they occupied Fujian, and in order to protect themselves, they even secretly linked up and recommended people who had always had a good face to go to Zhang Chu's camp to find out what price Zhang Chu wanted.

Zhang Chu really received them, welcomed their support for the security army, and told them that if they were willing to donate money and food to the security army, they could do what they could. This makes the rich people a little confused, and they have the impression that this thief-born thief will hate the rich, and they can't wait to kill the rich and divide their wealth equally to relieve their hatred. Zhang Chu asked them to do what they could, what does this mean.

"We're going to soon publish laws that protect everyone's property, and anyone's lawful property will be protected. At the same time, our security forces will also implement the tax law and industrial and commercial laws in Fujian, and as long as those who do business and do business abide by the law, our security forces will not forcibly expropriate your property, and we will also provide convenience for your business operations. Our security forces have taken over many of Zheng Zhilong's industries, and we will set up some companies to conduct overseas trade, and you can also come and invest if you are interested. Zhang Chu preached the policies of the security army to the rich people who came to the door.

The rich are skeptical, but they are still very happy, and this is much more civilized than coming up and grabbing it. Zhang Chu said that everyone should do what they can and did not say that they don't want money, and the rich people united to scrape together some silver taels according to their own psychological price and sent them to Zhang Chu, only in this way can they feel more at ease. Zhang Chu didn't refuse, and accepted it after expressing his gratitude, and the rich people felt a little more steady. Zhang Chu did not raise any objections to the amount of silver money sent, and it seemed that Zhang Chu did not have much appetite. Now it depends on whether Zhang Chu will fulfill his promise to protect everyone's property.

The wealthy soon saw the results, and the security forces relied on the armor protection system to arrange officials in charge of political affairs in each region. The security forces occupied key points in various places and sent teams to patrol the markets, arresting a group of street hooligans who wanted to take advantage of the war, and order was restored to the whole Fujian region. People's lives have become normal, and businesses in various places have opened for business again.

Instead of harassing the merchants, the security forces sent them propaganda materials on tax and business laws, demanding that the merchants pay taxes in accordance with the law. After paying the tax, no one bothered the store after getting the tax payment certificate.

The Ocean Trading Company, which was run by the Security Army, was also opened, and shares were raised publicly. The rich are waiting and watching, and have not yet made up their minds whether to invest in this lucrative and high-risk business.

At this time, although the Nanming regime in Nanjing received the news that Zhang Chu and Zheng Zhilong were at war, they did not have anything to do about it, because they were busy with internal fighting at this time. (To be continued.) )
