The third round of artillery firing dispelled everyone's luck. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but the effect is still the same, such a small caliber of artillery is actually not much damage to sea ships.

But it seemed that the roar of thunder, the smell of gunpowder wafting across the sea, and the screams and exclamations of the unlucky man who had been killed, on the small cargo sampans under the ship, were enough.

Artillery is like an artifact in everyone's hearts, and it is rare to even see it in ordinary times, but now it is on the opposite side as if it doesn't need money, and no one is afraid to move.

Six dinghys were lowered from the two boats, each with ten men, and rowed forward.

The other people on the boat were unaware of these movements, and each of them lay there with their heads in their hands, and those who were a little bold squirmed towards a sheltered place.

On the sea, the land is more like a sheep driver, hundreds of black horsemen pressed over, who dared to resist, the person with the sword hanging on his waist hurriedly untied his weapon and threw it on the ground.

Don't dare to do it, what if you are trampled into a pulp by this horse team, but watch carefully. There were more than 200 riders who really rode around the horses, and when the others came to them, they hurriedly dismounted, and after a little formation, they rushed over.

The people who can live in the fishing village near the mouth of the Tangjia River are all the leaders, the leaders of the boats, the representatives of the merchants who come to pick them up, and there may be a few guards, but these guards are nothing at this time.

"Drop the !! weapon"

The soldiers shouted loudly, and a few of the stunned crowd out of the village reacted, hid behind the crowd, shrank back, and ran away.

In this mountain and countryside, as long as they run into the ditch and hide, maybe these cavalrymen will not be found, but the people run out, and no one will chase the foot soldiers who surround them.

When the crowd was about to move, one of the cavalry struck his horse violently, and chased after him at a faster speed, and turned over his hand on the horse, and took the longbow, stretched out the bow and arrow, and his posture sank slightly, and an arrow flew out with a whistling eye, and was accurately nailed to the back of the man's heart, and saw the running servant fall to the ground.

Four of them ran, and four of them came out of the cavalry, and they showed their abilities, except for the first archery, one with a spear on his horse, and another with a broadsword to cut off his head. Another one actually used a rope sleeve, and the rope was thrown out and put on a person's neck.

The neck was lassoed, and when the time came, the horse was stopped and dragged back, and the person who ran directly rose into the air, and when he fell to the ground, he was afraid that he would be strangled directly.

Every time one is killed, there is a cheer in the cavalry team, this face does not look like a suppression, but like a hunting appearance, here is elated, but those who are hunted are all frightened, who dares to move.

After this side was completely blocked, the soldiers began to force everyone to kneel, watching the sampans that were transporting goods back and forth desperately rowing, the cannon rumbling on the sea, and the small sampans were looking for death when they entered the sea, and everyone was rowing to the other side, and everything was fine when they entered the canal.

After a while, there was chaos on this side, and the sampan in front ran backwards, but the back could not be turned in a hurry, and the river was crowded. Many small boats were overturned in the river, who still cared about the goods, everyone hurriedly got up from the river, and ran towards the land, but the water on the body could not run fast, and secondly, the cavalry caught people along the river, can people outrun the horses......

Two flat-bottomed boats squeezed side by side from the other side, these two boats almost blocked the course of the Tangjia River, and there were more than a dozen men standing in the bow of the boat, holding long sticks in their hands, looking at someone on the opposite side and beating them with their heads and faces.

************

"You guys are really bold, this side is at least three hours away from Tianjin Wei, do you think this official is blind?"

It was really easy to catch chickens and drive sheep, and the cavalry and gunboats surrounded the front and back, and it was not long before the Tangjia village was full of people, and even those on the sea boats were grabbed and brought ashore.

Wang Tong looked at the people on the ground who were sincerely frightened, and couldn't help but sneer, these men running on the sea are also people who are used to seeing life and death, but the small killings on the sea and land are indeed shocking, so everyone is not afraid.

Wang Tong asked, but the people below bowed their heads, Wang Tong pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and said:

"Could it be that this is the so-called dark under the lamp!"

This sentence stabbed him even harder, but now he said anything, no one dared to speak, glanced around, Wang Tong sneered and asked:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official is a reasonable person. Now that it's come to this, what do you think? ”

Tianjin Jinyi Wei Qianhu Wang Tong is notorious, but everyone also knows that this master never bullies others, as long as you can tell a reason, Wang Qianhu still has to think about it.

There was silence for a while, and a bold trembling voice said:

"Master, we didn't pay the tax and silver this time, and we are willing to admit the penalty, twenty percent of the tax, twenty percent of the fine, and the small ones are willing to pay thirty percent of the fine......."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and then all echoed voices, all of them are dead, and they are all ruined, so they will admit their bad luck this time.

"All incoming goods are confiscated, each ship is only two silver per person, and eighty percent of the silver is fined, all according to the price of the landed goods!"

After Wang Tong finished speaking coldly, he turned around and left, and there was a quiet place behind, and then someone stood up and was about to catch up and plead. But as soon as the man got up, he was immediately beaten by the soldiers with spear shafts and knelt down.

When Wang Tong got on the horse, someone behind him had already cried loudly, Wang Tong said this, no matter how it was calculated, this time he was bankrupt, he only hated himself for listening to the temptation of others, in order to avoid the twenty percent of the tax, everything was taken away, and the other party was still doing it rightly.

Dozens of families in the fishing village near the mouth of the Tangjia River were also driven out, and they separated in a circle. Kneeling there, Wang Tong hit the horse and came to him, and Ma Sanbiao was shouting there with his throat pulling:

"You bastards colluded with pirates and pirates, this is a big crime of killing heads and exterminating the clan....... don't howl at the top of your throat, see you're still a man....... you will be punished with five years of hard labor, this is considered a light ......"

first said that he would be sentenced to death, and then said hard labor, after seeing the tragic situation of the few people who were killed, he was extremely happy to hear that hard labor, who would dare to have any objections.

Wang Tong rode over, stretched out his hand to stop Ma Sanbiao's shouting, and said coldly on the horse:

"Whoever fishes on the seashore and gets a boat, the official has a question, and if he answers correctly, he is exempted from criminal responsibility and hard labor."

As soon as these words came out, more than a dozen fishermen who reacted quickly scrambled to raise their hands in response, and Wang Tong asked:

"This official asks you, how many places are there in the upper and lower reaches of the estuary of the Haihe River, and the same place as this Tangjia River?"

The fishermen looked at each other and quickly gave an answer, and one of them, looking at the older ones, said:

"Master, this is just this place, this is still the year before the earthquake after a few holes, the water into the Tangjia River, so that the boat can go, the south should be afraid of being in the Shandong boundary, the north of the small has not been, but I heard the elders say, can rely on the big boat is on the Yongping Mansion side."

Wang Tong turned the horse around, and Ma Sanbiao walked a few steps to keep up, and said:

"My lord, what do you do with these fishermen, let them go?"

"Take them all back, and arrange to fish on the other side of the Haihe River first, just to get some meat for the laborers to eat."

The sun was in the west, and the vicinity of the Tangjia River was full of crying and scolding, and Wang Tong took the horse to look around. As he passed by the ashen merchants, a bookkeeper who was there to inspect the goods walked briskly and asked:

"Master, if the shipment is fined eighty percent of the silver, there are three here, even if the goods and silver are all counted, I'm afraid it will not be enough, how to deal with it?"

"The ship is detained, the boatmen and sailors stay to work, and when they have earned enough, they will leave!"

Hearing Wang Tong's order, the tent couldn't help but tremble, looking at him a little scared, Wang Tong said with a smile:

"Don't give a lesson, they can't remember this, they earn one more point, we earn one less point, it's already considered mercy not to kill people today, go quickly!"

The tent hurriedly saluted, and hurried back, and as soon as he said this, he could hear louder cries.

From the direction of the sea, a sampan stopped, and several soldiers accompanied three people, two of whom were craftsmen, and one of them was actually wearing the uniform of a six-rank civil official, but his appearance was very indecent, and the hem of the robe was tucked into the belt, and he was discussing something with the craftsman fiercely.

When Wang Tong saw these people coming, he dismounted with a smile, stepped forward and said:

"Is it still a habit to stay on the ship?"

Ren Yuan, the director of the Ministry of Works, waved his hand a little embarrassed, and said politely:

"Thank you Lord Wang for your memory, it's just a few hours of sailing, but I vomited three times, it's really useless."

Only then did he see that his face was not very good, but his spirit was very excited, so Ren Yuan clapped his hands and continued:

"The five cannons are no more than a thousand catties, the cannons retreat, connected with ropes, but the side of the ship is still dragged and cracked in a few places, today is lucky, if you fire a few more cannons, I'm afraid it will be broken, and I don't know how to do it over there, alas, if you don't go out, you know everything, and you don't know anything if you don't go out!"

"Don't those three people know?"

"Don't hide it from my lord, those three people are better than the craftsmen of our official workshop, they are better than careful and diligent, and they also know a few tricks, and now they are all grasping it tightly, and those they have learned are nothing, and they only describe the things on the ship, saying that there are cannons on the deck, and there are cannons in the cabin, but they can't understand the details."

The two of them talked a few words, Wang Tong also sighed, looked at the two gunboats on the sea and said:

"If there is a ship like that, and it comes here in such a fake way, it can be directly blocked and fired."

Ren Yuan hesitated there, clenched his fists and said:

"Lord Wang, my lord switches and draws taxes, if you don't have your own ships, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient, the Western Fanren warships are indeed strong and powerful, it is better to copy a few ......"

Seeing that Wang Tong was silent, Ren Yuan did not continue, and after a while, Wang Tong's expression became firm, and he said solemnly:

"It's to build your own ship!!"
