Chapter 121: Seizure

In Chongfu Palace, Ren Siqi took Sima Nan, Cao Changjiang, Jin Yufei and other deputy directors in charge to be busy, counting the harvest after the victory. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Lu Zonghan and a few of his Jinyi guards were trying the captured pirates.

In the morning battle, after Mao 18 blocked the pirates' retreat, the pirates who had no way to escape surrendered one after another, and a few who refused to surrender were killed on the spot.

After eliminating all the pirates, Ren Siqi led his men into the pirate's lair. At this time, everyone was busy searching and sorting out the seized property.

These days, Ren Siqi has repeatedly emphasized the discipline of the "Flying Fish", and every crew member of the ten military regulations has been deeply remembered in his heart. All seized property must be surrendered in its entirety and then redistributed according to merit. Cao Changjiang was appointed as a judicial officer by Ren Siqi, and at this time he was supervising with two subordinates with a serious face.

"Xiucai, let's get rich!" Sima Nan ran in excitedly and shouted in Ren Siqi's ear.

"It's a hundred thousand taels of silver, I can't imagine that being a pirate can make so much money!" Sima Nan sighed.

"They snatched it from the Fuchun." Ren Siqi said lightly.

mentioned the "Fuchun", Sima Nan smiled awkwardly, and the excitement disappeared a lot, although he betrayed the "Fuchun", but after all, he had been in the "Fuchun" for many years, and many of the people on it were his old brothers.

In the storehouse, there were 100,000 taels worth of silver, and in addition, a large number of silver taels were also found in the pirate's camp.

In addition to silver, a large number of items were also seized.

Hundreds of loads of raw silk, dozens of horses of silk, in addition to ironware, lacquerware, porcelain and other items, should be pirates in previous robberies did not have time to deal with the goods.

"These items are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, and we are really rich this time." Sima Nan said with emotion.

In addition to the goods found in the storeroom, there are also many daily necessities, and this is after all a pirate lair, who have lived here for many years.

"Lord, twenty-three swords, fifty-six ordinary steel knives, five rifles, and more than twenty harpoon spears have been seized, but unfortunately there are no muskets or artillery on this island." Olier reported.

Ren Xingfan, who is literate, is recording various seizures at the desk, and a thick stack of white paper has been written.

"They're just pirates, not a Ming navy, where can they get firearms?" Ren Siqi said with a smile.

The capture that excites Ren Siqi the most is the "Fuchun" parked in the bay, with the "Fuchun", he can organize a fleet, not to mention the doubling of combat power, that is, the goods carried by the sea trade will be greatly increased. Unfortunately, except for the "Fuchun", the rest of the bay are some dhows, of course, there is also a two-masted seagoing ship, but because the cargo capacity is too small, it is not suitable for sea trade.

Standing on the steps of the main hall of Chongfu Palace, looking at the wide land and undulating mountains in the distance, and looking at the quiet and wide bay in front of him, Ren Siqi suddenly felt that this Daishan Island was really an excellent place, which was far larger than the small fishing bay in Renjia Bay, and the bay below was a natural harbor, and no matter how many ships could station. As long as you build a barracks on the outlying islands outside the bay and be responsible for defending and guarding, this is a very good base.

Moreover, Daishan Island is sparsely populated, and there is a lot of flat land suitable for farming, and if it is developed, it is estimated that it can support thousands of people.

Occupy Daishan Island, use it as a base, develop your own power, and take advantage of the situation when the world is changing, maybe you can really achieve a great cause! A fiery thought poured into Ren Siqi's mind, and he couldn't wave it away!

Lu Zonghan was leading a few of his men to torture the captured pirates. The big boss Zhou Min did not escape when he was defeated, and he did not have the courage to fight the trapped beasts, and he was taken prisoner by a greedy and fearful of death, and at this time he was beaten loudly by a brocade guard to beg for mercy. On the contrary, although Song Liben, the second master, was born as a fortune teller, his body was weak but his bones were hard, and he endured the whipping without saying a word.

"Brother, this time it's thanks to you!" Seeing Ren Siqi come in, Lu Zonghan was full of spring breeze, this time he completely annihilated the Daishan pirates and took the captives to Hangzhou, which would be a great achievement, with this merit, it was not impossible for him to mix a thousand households, so seeing Ren Siqi, Lu Zonghan was like seeing relatives.

"Where, if it weren't for Lord Lu's command and leadership, we would definitely not have gone so smoothly." Ren Siqi said humbly.

Lu Zonghan blushed rarely, he didn't dare to get off the ship in the first battle, and later hid on the ship in the name of escorting the prisoners, and he didn't even see how the second battle was fought. After learning of the victory, he hurriedly disembarked and came to receive the prisoners.

However, Lu Zonghan knew that Ren Siqi was not laughing at him when he said this, but he was taking all the credit on his head, which was a good thing for him, and he was even more grateful to Ren Siqi.

"Master Lu," Ren Siqi was about to continue speaking but was interrupted by Lu Zonghan.

"What is it called, big brother, we will be brothers from now on." Lu Zonghan hugged Ren Siqi's shoulders affectionately.

Ren Siqi smiled and changed his words: "Big brother, this time we have gained a loud voice, and we have also captured dozens of pirates, I wonder when Big Brother is going to escort them back to Hangzhou?" ”

"The sooner the better, of course!" Lu Zonghan blurted out, and then reacted: "Brother, won't you go to Hangzhou with me?" ”

"I won't go to Hangzhou, the southeast monsoon will rise soon, and I'm going to go to Japan for trade, so I can't delay any longer." Ren Siqi said apologetically.

"If you don't go to Hangzhou, how can I escort these people back!" Lu Zonghan was a little embarrassed.

"I can send a ship to send you and these captives to Hangzhou, which is very close to Hangzhou, Zhang Manfan can arrive in one day, and Big Brother doesn't have to worry."

Lu Zonghan thought for a moment and nodded. He was in a hurry to go back and ask for credit, and he didn't want to stay here for a moment.

Ren Siqi sent the two-masted galleon in the bay to Lu Zonghan, and sent a dozen experienced crew members to take charge of the ship.

"Brother, what does that mean?" Looking at the two wooden boxes piled up in front of him, Lu Zonghan was surprised.

"Big brother, this time I have collected some silver from the pirate's lair, these are two boxes of silver coins, the authentic Mexican Eagle Ocean, about 20,000 pieces. Big brother, you will definitely be promoted when you go back this time, just take this silver ocean up and down. Ren Siqi said with a smile.

"Brother, you, what do you want me to say." Lu Zonghan said moving words in his mouth, but he didn't mean to excuse himself.

"Big brother, I still have something to get rid of you." Ren Siqi said.

"What's the matter, brother, just say it, as long as the eldest brother can do it, he will never shirk!" Lu Zonghan patted his chest and promised.

"It's not a big deal, don't I plan to trade in Japan this time, big brother, you also know that the Japanese route is now in the hands of the Zheng family, and it just so happens that the Zheng family has a business in Hangzhou, I want to ask my eldest brother to help me get a water mark to Japan." Ren Siqi now has no time to go to Hangzhou to get a water standard, so he has to get rid of Lu Zonghan, believing that it is not difficult to spend money to get the Zheng family's water standard as Lu Zonghan.

"It's on me!" Lu Zonghan responded angrily.

Standing on the dock, watching the captured pirates pass by and be escorted to the two-masted sailing ship, Ren Siqi said goodbye to Lu Zonghan and was about to return to Chongfu Palace.

"My Guan Gongzi is not a person in this world, and his future is limitless!" A low voice sounded in Ren Siqi's ears, and Ren Siqi turned around in astonishment, only to see a captured pirate looking at him with an earnest face.
