Black Shark Island is the old nest, Xie Ao put a lot of thought into it at the beginning, not only built various defensive buildings, but also stored a large amount of rice and grain on the island, and a large amount of silver was stored in several secret warehouses. Even equipment, firearms, ammunition and other things. If it weren't for the disintegration of people's hearts, if you want to take this fortress, I'm afraid you will really have to fight a long and brutal tug-of-war.

In addition to silver and grain, silk, porcelain, medicinal herbs, and wood, there were also a lot of materials for these trades, and it was obvious that they were ready to trade with foreign countries. In this era, in addition to collecting protection fees for caravans, pirates in this era also had another income, which was to directly start trading with foreigners. Since they don't go through the dental shop, there is no intermediate commission, and they are a non-capital business, so the income is quite considerable.

After these materials are registered, I am afraid that more than a dozen ships will be loaded just for loading, and all of them will have to be large maritime ships. For example, the fishing boat used in this attack on Black Shark Island has a weak heart for these things. However, with Xue Niangzi transferred in Ningbo, it is not difficult to find a group of merchant ships to come over.

In addition to the merchant ships, there were also many merchants who came with them, and after going ashore, they went straight to the warehouse and inspected the booty. Leng Feishuang looked at the excited appearance of this group of merchants, and asked puzzledly, "Are they going to buy these dirty things?" Doesn't the court give these things to the owner? ”

"Issuing the owner? Who can prove that this thing is his? Besides, now that the Black Shark Gang has become a dead shark, it will be more difficult for us to turn our relationship down. The army is a bottomless pit, and if you want to maintain it, you have to invest money in a steady stream. Just collecting and promoting the compilation is not a solution, and I don't want these soldiers who have been trained with great difficulty to be disarmed and return to the field. Therefore, all the goods captured on the battlefield belong to the soldiers, and as for the dirty, they are sold by the imperial court. The proceeds are to be used as funds. Whoever can prove that something is his own, can redeem it first. You see why these merchants are so happy to sail to pull goods, I gave them the right to choose goods first. ”

In addition to the goods, there are as many dependents on the island, and some of them have already submitted to the Heavenly Maiden Sect and become the official officials. But there are also some recalcitrant or outcasts, and their families have become widows. There were also some tickets captured by the robbers, and there were seventy or eighty women, and none of them could find someone to take them back.

Most of the women have either been killed by their families, or their families will not come to collect them, and they are afraid that they will be forced to commit suicide if they bring them back. Leng Feishuang walked the rivers and lakes, and saw a lot of this kind of thing, in addition to helplessly expressing sympathy, he couldn't think of a good way, so he had to ask Yang Chengzu in the end

"Your Yang Ji...... Don't you want a woman too? If they don't have a way to go, they may have a miserable life, and I will pick a few people from among them as disciples of the Heavenly Maiden Sect, but most of them still have to be arranged by you. ”

"These people are very well arranged. There are 6,000 officers and soldiers on the island, and at least seventy percent of them are singles, and if there is a woman who lives with them, they can't find the north, and the others don't care much. There are only a few dozen women, which is not enough at all, and it is not a difficult thing. As for whether they want to work or not, whether they are suitable for work or not, that is a question that their men have to consider, and those who are soldiers under me don't have to worry about not being able to support their wives. It doesn't even matter how many wives you have. The battlefield was seized and sealed uniformly, and it was distributed according to the proportion, just this item, let everyone wear gold and silver, and still worry about supporting their wives? At most, I looked at them a little bit, and asked them not to fight for women, and it didn't matter if anything else. ”

Yang Chengzu's simple and rude distribution method is the easiest to provoke discussion, and everyone comes out to do things, after all, they still want to be even, or to have a good reputation. Let Qiu Ba get the benefits, but he counts the impeachment and may even be questioned, this kind of stupid thing, few people will do it.

However, this method is in the best interest of the soldiers, and these new troops are recruited from the villages, mines, or the children of military guards, and they are basically poor people who have never seen silver a few times in their lives. Before, just the promise of three cents a day and nine silver dollars a month made them feel that they were in heaven.

Tell them at once that so many white flowers and silver taels are yours, and these women are also yours, and this great happiness comes to your face. Even though they had been training in discipline, this sudden joy still plunged the soldiers into an excitement that could hardly be controlled.

Although the actual chief officers accounted for the majority of these silver taels, and the women added up to less than a hundred, and they could not find the complete picture in the bandits' den, these soldiers still couldn't help but kneel on the ground and thank the emperor for his grace. Yang Chengzu looked at these soldiers from a distance and turned his head to look at Leng Feishuang

"See, I sang for them and set up missionaries, and it was not in vain. People's thinking can be guided, and as long as the guidance work is done well, it can be used for oneself. But those who are willing to do this job, those who don't want to do it, and those who want to do this job don't have the ability, and they end up in a mess. ”

In addition to the military salaries and rewards for these new soldiers, the wounded soldiers have a decoction, and those who cannot continue to serve as soldiers can enter Yang Ji unconditionally and enjoy a good treatment.

For those who die in battle, in addition to the family will receive a sum of money compensation, one of the children of the family can enlist in the army or enter Yang Kee to work. In this era, these conditions are all preferential treatment that I never dreamed of, after all, Yang Daxing was killed in battle, and even the bereavement pension could not be guaranteed. In addition to the hereditary army outdoors, who would have thought that there are so many favorable conditions.

It is precisely because of the solution of worries that these soldiers have no complaints about their training on weekdays, and they dare to fight when they are in battle, such as this time they killed more than 200 people and captured nearly 100 prisoners. In the final analysis, the mentality of the soldiers is different, and the attitude of fighting the war is also different.

Compared with the excitement of the soldiers, Yang Chengzu also had his own excitement, although Xie Ao had done some tidying up in advance and consciously destroyed the letters. But after all, he is a reckless man, and he is not very attentive to his writing, and his usual documents are handled by a concubine who understands words. The concubine quietly hid a few letters, waiting to be kept as a life amulet, and now as soon as the officers and soldiers arrived on the island, she took the initiative to hand over the letters. All he asked for was a sum of silver that he could live with peace of mind for the rest of his life, and a legal identity that would be incognito.

"King Xie Mi is not simple, you see, he has dealings with the daimyo of the Wa Kingdom. What is this letter written about? It's all Fusang characters, and I don't recognize any of them, do you know them? Yang Chengzu handed the letter to Leng Feishuang, who also shook his head, even the White Lotus Holy Maiden was not omniscient and omnipotent, and she also did not know foreign languages.

However, this is not a problem, whether it is Ningbo or Jingshi, you can find an interpreter who is proficient in Japanese. In Daming, if you have money and learning, you have all kinds of privileges, and there are not too many restrictions on doing things. But there are a few red lines that still cannot be touched, and the Tongwu is one of them.

In another time and space, Yan Shifan was sentenced to Leizhou, Guangdong, and then returned to his hometown to build a house after leaving Beijing. However, as soon as it was said that he was a widow, he immediately turned around, which shows the seriousness of this crime.

Xie Zun doesn't matter how many years of wealthy family he has, how deep his accumulation is, or how hard he has a relationship. This charge is enough to make him and his family disappear completely. When Xie Chang was pushed up, Yang Chengzu only shook those letters in front of his eyes, and the next moment, Xie Chang's face turned bloodless.
