Several thick torches were stuck in the wall, illuminating the hall like daylight.

Several huge wooden boxes were placed in the hall, and Wang Zhiren and several of his cronies looked at the wooden boxes greedily, and their faces showed excitement one by one.

"Snap" a pro-soldier used a short knife to pry open a wooden box, which suddenly revealed a brilliant silver light, and the silver ingots of white flowers filled the wooden box, and this wooden box was afraid that there were no more than 3,000 taels of silver.

The soldiers used short knives to pry open all the wooden boxes in succession, and each chest was filled with silver.

"Twenty thousand taels of silver, these gentry are so generous." Wang Zhiren touched his beard and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. On weekdays, there is no shortage of gentry in silver, but it is the first time to collect such a large sum of money at one time.

"Let's talk about it, is this business going to be done?" Wang Zhiren waved his hand to let the soldiers reseal the wooden box, returned to the front of the hall and sat down, and began to ask the generals' opinions.

"Of course it was done, so much silver, a fool doesn't make it!" Qianhu Zhang Kui howled.

This guy really can't speak, and if he doesn't do it, won't he become a fool? Wang Zhiren glared at Zhang Kui dissatisfiedly, and made up his mind that if he attacked Ren Siqi, he would make this guy a vanguard officer.

"General, I think it's better for us to be cautious, these gentry are willing to give so much blood this time, I'm afraid this silver is not so easy to earn!" Chen Pengfei, another thousand-household, was cautious and made his own suggestions to Wang Zhiren.

Wang Zhiren nodded, agreeing with Chen Pengfei's opinion. The major affairs of the country of soldiers are also naturally not cautious.

"How many troops does Ren Siqi have? How many warships are there? Wang Zhiren asked.

"General Yu, the last general also sent people to investigate, the guerrilla general Ren Siqi department, the station is Cen Gang, Cen Port has 500 soldiers, more than 20 warships. However, I heard that Ren Siqi is not resident in Cen Gang, but spends most of his time in Daishan. He should still have more than 1,000 troops and dozens of warships in Daishan. "The thousand general tour in charge of the sentinel reported on it.

Wang Zhiren nodded, and the strength of a guerrilla general was like this.

Guerrilla generals, who are subordinate to the generals, are responsible for the defense of the war and generally command more than 1,000 soldiers and horses.

Like Wang Zhiren, the dignified Dinghai General Army, in charge of the military affairs in eastern Zhejiang, his total strength is more than 5,000 people, of which the real elite is only 1,000 personal soldiers.

So he didn't believe that Ren Siqi, a small guerrilla general, could have many soldiers under his command.

"These gentry are probably in a hurry, so they sent us so much silver." A thousand always laughed.

"I heard that they were intercepted by Ren Siqi more than 20 sea ships, and the loss was too great, so they were anxious!" The other Chinohe seems to know the inside story of the matter.

"Scared, this surnamed Ren is too bold, even those people's sea boats dare to rob them!" The other thousand households were taken aback.

No one knows the huge profits of sea trade. However, there are very few people who are qualified for maritime trade, not only to have a strong relationship, but also to have the strength and supply. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, maritime trade has always been a forbidden condition for the gentry, and even Wang Zhiren's dignified anti-Japanese soldiers could not interfere, so they could only eat other people's scraps.

I didn't expect Ren Siqi to be so bold and brazenly intercept the gentry's sea ships!

"That Ren Siqi robbed more than 20 sea ships, if we defeat Ren Siqi, then the goods on these sea ships will not fall into our hands!" A Senhe said suddenly, and after listening to his words, the breathing of the others became heavy.

There are more than 20 sea vessels, and the value of the goods on them is not hundreds of thousands or even millions of silver!

"Tomorrow we will send troops to attack Ren Siqi!" Wang Zhiren categorically ordered.

"General, are we going to fight Cen Gang or Dai Mountain?" Qianhu Chen Pengfei asked.

"Is the sea ship he seized in Daishan or in Cen Harbor?" Wang Zhiren asked.

"Some of them were taken back to Daishan, but there are also some in Cen Port, and there are their warehouses in Cen Port, and they have been buying all kinds of goods in Cen Port." You Xie replied.

Cen Harbor is on the opposite side of Dinghai, separated by a Jintang Island, it is more than 60 miles of sea distance, and Dinghai is 1780 miles away from Daishan, of course, we can't go far.

"Hit Cen Gang first, and then attack Daishan!" Wang Zhiren gave a categorical order.

......

Early in the morning of the second day, the gate of Dinghai Village was opened, and sailboats loaded with soldiers went out to sea.

In order to lay down Cen Gang, Wang Zhiren made a bloody investment. Half of the 20,000 taels of silver was paid as the cost of the soldiers. After the plucking of the feathers of his officers, there was still as much as half a tael of silver in the hands of each soldier.

Five thousand soldiers, one hundred and fifty large and small sailing ships, in order to capture Cen Harbor, Wang Zhiren poured out.

More than a hundred sailing ships, forming a mighty fleet on the sea. Wang Zhiren ordered Qianhu Zhang Kui to be the vanguard, and commanded fifty warships to set off first.

Wang Zhiren's ship was a four-masted galleon, with its towering mast reaching into the sky, and the fluttering white sails were like clouds in the sky. The ship was equipped with three red-coated guns, and more than a dozen Franco-sized guns, and there were more than 200 soldiers on board. The ship has many firepower and is Wang Zhiren's greatest reliance.

In order to build this ship, Wang Zhiren invited a master shipbuilder from Fujian, and spent 5,000 taels of silver, which took three years! With this ship in hand, Wang Zhiren thinks that there is no one to stop him in the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Standing on the bow of the tall ship, looking at the mighty fleet, Wang Zhiren suddenly regretted his caution over the years. With such a strong strength, how can he be willing to shrink in the small city of Dinghai.

is also the chief soldier, Zheng Zhilong is arrogant, but he is cowering in a corner of eastern Zhejiang, compared with others, he would rather not be ashamed?

......

Don't talk about Wang Zhiren's prosperity, let's talk about Zhang Kui, who was sent as a pioneer.

Zhang Kui set out with fifty warships, bypassed Jintang Island from the north, and arrived at the sea area of Cen Gang in less than two hours.

When I was near Jintang Island, I saw several clippers cruising in the nearby sea, and when I saw Zhang Kui's huge fleet, a clipper quickly turned around and headed east. Others, however, cruised three or four miles away from the fleet, keeping moving at the same speed.

Zhang Kui ignored these clippers and just ordered them to sail at full speed towards Cen Harbor, where countless riches awaited him.

Cen Harbor, where Sima Nan's fleet was stationed. In addition to his fleet, Jin Yufei led three teams of infantry with more than 500 people to garrison in the harbor.

The clipper took the first step to report the news of the attack of the Dinghai navy, and Sima Nan immediately ordered everyone to get on the warship and go out to sea to meet the attack!

One after another, the sails were raised, and the ships sailed away from the harbor one after another, heading in the direction of the enemy.

In the port, Jin Yufei ordered all the infantry to line up and defend themselves. Five hundred infantry divided into two steps and went up to two batteries.

The two batteries are separated from each other, protecting the bay dock tightly in the middle, and each battery hill has three huge guns! (To be continued.) )
