Fishing boats shuttled one after another, totaling 500.

I have to say how terrible the power of a city of 100,000 people is if it cooperates, and the craftsmen of Haizhou have been building ships day and night under the pressure of Yang Chao, and in just a few days, 500 flat-bottomed boats have been built.

Of course, this is also related to Yang Chao's simple requirements, which does not require any tung oil hemp silk buttons, does not require painting, only requires ten people to be able to pull up ten people and necessary weapons and equipment, and can float on the water without falling apart.

So the carpenters in Haizhou were constantly nailing up the planks, and then nailed them up piece by piece, and they were forced by Yang Chao to base the planks day and night, and the nailing of the hull day and night, and they were all forced to get out of the assembly line operation.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of carpenters with shipbuilding experience in a city like Haizhou, which is close to the river and the sea, and if it is placed in the Gobi in the northwest, Yang Chao can only cry out in vain.

At this time, in the vast ocean outside the city, there were chasing the dead and chasing the north to fish, ah no, it was a small boat that killed the Tartars.

The city was crowded with onlookers, and they pointed and pointed:

"Ah, that idiot, almost ran away for the Tartars!"

"And that, chase after him, I can see him hiding behind the horse."

"That one, that's so fierce, you can shoot arrows in the water! That's right, just kill him, and let him shoot arrows! ”

"Look, the ship is dead, you have to come back quickly, or it will capsize!"

The people were no longer afraid at this time, and they were all watching a good show in the city, which was more lively than any big stage.

"Wow, another boatload of Tartars, that's amazing."

"Hmph, that's, you don't know that the second dog next door to my house is on that boat!"

Yang Chao listened to the few people next to him, bragging about it. Pointing to a boat that had caught a boatload of Tartars and was the first to return to the city, he said.

Yang Chao's order was to bring it back whether he was dead or alive. Therefore, each ship has limited space, and it is impossible to fight indefinitely.

The best option is: If you have caught enough people, you will come back immediately, then let go and continue to go out of the city to arrest people.

The enthusiasm of these people is very high, because Yang Chao made an exception today and promised that if the ship was caught, he would give the ship a reward, and each tartar would be rewarded with thirty taels of silver. It doesn't matter if you live or die, but there is one thing you can't loot the Tartars without permission.

Yang Chao felt that he should not lose money, with the temperament of the Tartar, everyone has the habit of hiding their belongings, as long as a person can recover thirty taels of silver, it is enough, the last time he found more than 200,000 taels of market on three hundred people, Yang Chao thought that he should not lose money.

Yang Chao said that he would watch from the city, and probably no one would secretly loot it. Of course, with such a good amount of money, everyone can't take the risk of privately looting and hurrying back to a boat. Then it's the right thing to go out and catch again.

So one by one, the boats sailed back, docked at the dock next to the city bridge, threw the dead, alive, and half-dead tartars on the pier, and then watched the clerk Huang Fengfu write down a number to their names, and then jumped on the boat, scolding and urging his men to row and attack.

The Tartars in the west are in full swing, and in front of the three hundred boats, there is a lot of potential for not enough to catch them, and there is such a fierce competitive situation. It was not until the captive barracks in the east also collapsed in the flood that it was over, because the cause of catching Tartars in Haizhou finally opened a second front. It is very relieved of the pressure of competition.

But there is bad news that Yang Chao really lost money.

This group of captives from Shandong is really poor. According to the current market, on average, Yang Chao found that he could only find twenty-three or four taels of silver on one person.

This is not scientific, the last time he killed the 300 or so people under Bolo outside Haizhou City, he looted more than 200,000 taels, and there were some pearl treasures that could not be estimated.

It can only be explained that the captives in Shandong did not rob the captives near Haizhou, and at the same time proved that Haizhou was indeed richer than Shandong.

In fact, what Yang Chao didn't expect was that the scattered captives who looted in Haizhou had already been looted in Shandong, and they belonged to the outside world in Haizhou, so it was reasonable to say that they were richer than the captives from Shandong.

"It's broken!"

Song Lian, who was watching the excitement in Haizhou City, suddenly shouted, rushed down Haizhou City, and eagerly found Yang Chao who was settling accounts by the stone bridge.

"Lord Yang, Lord Yang!"

Seeing Song Lian who came in a hurry, Yang Chao couldn't help but sigh: "Why is Lord Song panicking?" I'll wait until the official settles this account, but it's a big loss. ”

Song Lian waved his hand: "Hey! Don't settle the score, let's get out of the flood! ”

Yang Chao was stunned for a moment, yes, he actually forgot about it, but those gate soldiers went to Huai'an.

Yang Chao sighed: "The soldiers of the Linhongkou Gate have gone to Huai'an!" ”

Song Lian pondered for a moment: "Haizhou is also in charge of Linhongkou, I know that there are a few officials in Haizhou City who understand water conservancy!" ”

Yang Chao shook his head again: "But there is no boat!" ”

Yang Chao is very helpless, the boats are busy catching Tartars now, whoever robs their boat now, Yang Chao doesn't dare to guarantee that these red-eyed guys who grab money will not stab anyone with a gun.

Song Lian jumped to his feet and took a few officials to Haizhou City to find a boatman.

However, Yang Chao really felt that it was time to put the flood discharge on the agenda, there was already stagnant water under his feet, and the low-lying places in Haizhou City had been flooded by more than a foot, and it was estimated that the entire Haizhou City would soon be able to sail.

In addition to the flood discharge, we also have to find a way to plug the gap in the Rose River, so I hope that the rain will pass sooner and then it will be easier.

This thought just rose in his heart, Yang Chao couldn't help but raise his head, he couldn't help but find that the rain was really light, a white cloud appeared in the sky, only a small rain was beating, I am afraid it is really going to be clear.

Yang Chao couldn't help but sigh that everything was smooth when people were smooth, if the captives could hold on for one more day, they would have a different ending, but unfortunately they didn't dare to stay in the mountain god angry for a few more days, so they gave Yang Chao the opportunity to flood Haizhou.

Song Lian couldn't find the person he was looking for, because their house was empty, and the water conservancy officials probably ran to the city wall to see the excitement.

By the time Song Lian found someone, his ship had also landed, because the battle in Haizhou was over.

Five hundred boats, a boat dispatched to pull back ten people at a time, the captives are less than 10,000, on average, not enough for a boat to go back and forth twice, so except for a few lucky guys, or fast action means high, experienced fishing guys, few people can be fully loaded twice, of course, most of the first boat is fully loaded, and then the second boat casually rowed a few and came back, of course, there are a very few levels that are too poor, they can only be empty.

Huang Fengfu, Hu Quan, as well as Yang Chao's personal soldiers Li Feng and Chen Jiujin, and even Lu Mo, an officer, were busy at the docks, and Song Lian asked for a few knives and pens and borrowed a few accounts from Li Rui.

After counting, sorting, packing, and being busy for three or four hours, the results finally came out, and Yang Chao lost money in the end.

A total of more than 6,300 tartars were captured, and a large amount of gold and silver and a number of jewels were seized from them, with a total value of about 160,000 taels of silver, and each tartar barely had 25 taels on average, and Yang Chao promised a tartar of 30 taels of silver, obviously losing money, one person lost 5 taels, and more than 6,000 people lost more than 30,000 taels.

Of course, it can't be regarded as a full accompaniment, when you are idle, the soldiers who still have the strength to cut off their heads immediately, these heads are also silver, if according to the normal market price, a head should be twenty taels of silver, and Yang Chao can still earn five taels.

In addition, the iron armor and cotton armor on the Tartar are all valuable, Yang Chao unexpectedly found that the armor of the captives was even better than that of the Ming army, although the appearance looks similar, obviously the armor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is to learn from the Ming army, but people are doing better than the Ming army.

For example, the cotton armor of the Nanjing Military War Bureau of the Ming Dynasty should be filled with seven catties of cotton and water to forge into thin slices according to the requirements, but under normal circumstances, the cotton armor in the Military War Bureau is almost a single layer of clothing, and there is almost no cotton skin in it.

However, the armor of the captive soldiers, not only is it really strictly in accordance with the forged cotton to make cotton skin filling, but also between the two layers of cotton skin, a layer of iron is added, Yang Chao has done experiments, the iron armor of the captive soldiers, unless it is close, otherwise the bow and arrow can not seriously injure them.

This result made Yang Chao blush a little, just kidding, a force that has just come out of the mountains for not many years, if they are strong in force, they can also use the excuse that they have cultivated a tenacious will in a difficult environment, but people have even overshadowed the Ming Dynasty with technology, which is really hard to say.

Is it true that the Ming Dynasty did not have good technology?

It's that the Ming Dynasty has never had the mind to use these technologies well!

Yang Chao, who had no interest in the armor and weapons of the captives, is now very happy to peel off the armor on the captives, but unfortunately the armor rate of the captives is not high, it is not high, probably the captives will not be convinced, because the Ming and Qing dynasties obviously do not have Yang Chao, a nouveau riche with iron armor.

In fact, the armor rate of the captive soldiers is already higher than that of the Ming Dynasty army, needless to say the army in the interior, even if it is the border army, except for the Guanning army, which takes away most of the Ming Dynasty's taxes as military expenses, the other armies are really not as good as the captive soldiers, that is, the Guanning army after corruption, the number of soldiers in armor is not much stronger than that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

In short, in the end, Yang Chao pulled down 1,000 pieces of iron armor, 2,000 pieces of cotton armor, and 3,000 collars of leather armor, chain mail and other miscellaneous armor.

Judging from this armor rate, it is really quite high, if you count the captives who were killed by Yang Chao, their armor was recycled and reused, and the armor rate of more than 10,000 captives in this group is also more than half, probably except for Yu Ding and Bao Yi, all the soldiers are in armor.

No wonder the captives were able to suppress the Ming army to fight, not to mention their personal military qualities, even weapons and equipment can't compare to others, and it's hell to be able to win.

Harvesting the armor of the captives, plus the military materials squeezed out of Haizhou, Yang Chao estimated that he would be able to equip at least three or four thousand ironclad elite soldiers when he went back this time, and the auxiliary soldiers of cotton armor or something could also dress up more than three thousand.
