Chapter 108: The Nouveau riche

: Brethra. The second is a little later, can't wait for the children's shoes to please wash the mouth of the small obituary north,

After the Pacific Fleet and the Marines left, a human head was exposed under a pile of drifting broken wood in the North Harbor.

Taking a long breath, Guo Huaiyi seemed to be reborn.

Yes! He was born again!

He knows. If he is taken away by the "Chao Gang". It is certain that it will be sold as a piglet to the South Seas, or even further to Africa, and it will be worse than death. He knows.

So he found an opportunity, excused himself to go to the toilet, and then urinated.

In fact, this is also a deliberate arrangement by Liu Hu and others, otherwise how to pass on the news of the "Chaogang attack on Beigang"? And Zheng Yiguan believes that it was the Chao Gang who did it, and the person who passed the word must be a weighty person, and when these points are combined, only Guo Huaiyi can do it.

Guo Huaiyi had the courage to take responsibility for this loss, so he would definitely bite the Chao Gang to the death, otherwise Zheng Yiguan would be the first to kill him

The first port terminal is in ruins, and the North Port, which had flourished for more than a year, has been destroyed. A few piles of goods on the shore that could not be taken away. At this time, it has turned into a sea of fire. As soon as Guo Huai stayed in the water, he could already feel the heat of the fire rushing to his face, and his face was full of redness. Smoke billowed out of the sky, forming long black pillars that soared into the sky.

Looking to the west again, a huge Longmengang water village was engulfed by raging fire at this time, like a flaming mountain. The fire is scorching, and the smoke covers the sea. The sky within a radius of dozens of miles was pitch black. Shaded from the sun. The air was filled with soot, the smell of blood mixed with the stench, and the sea was littered with the debris of the burned and shattered warships, the waves undulating, and the corpses of the soldiers with water plugs loomed up and down.

A corpse floated over, and it happened to be touched by Guo Huaiyi, and he was immediately startled.

The corpse was charred and emitted a foul smell. The wound on the top bowl was obviously caused by the penetration of the projectile.

After Zheng Yiguan left, there were still more than 7,000 people left in Shuizhai, and it seemed that they had been slaughtered, and the other party obviously did not give Zheng Yiguan a chance to gather the remnants of the defeated army.

"It's over! It's all over! ”

Guo Huaiyi let out a long sigh, and when he agreed to be annexed by Zheng Yiguan, he was nothing more than looking at Zheng Yiguan's solid family background.

The Beigang Merchant Gang, a treasure worth tens of millions, has now been robbed of more than half of it, and the rest has all been burned.

What is even more odious is that they took all the workers of North Harbor, and this kind of loss is difficult to recover.

Guo Huaiyi shook his head, Beigang couldn't stay any longer, even if Zheng Yiguan didn't kill him, he would probably not be able to make a comeback in a short time.

Let's find another way!

I swam to the shore a few miles away, and when I climbed up, I was already exhausted and collapsed.

At this time, a team of Dutch soldiers came out of the Dutch fortress, searched all the way, and after finding Guo Huaiyi, they carried him back to the fortress of Geranza.

In this way, in 6 A.D., on the day of Yuekou, Li Guo Huaiyi still surrendered to the Netherlands in accordance with the trajectory of history, and became the vanguard of the Governor De Witt to kill the Taiwan compatriots. The only difference is that Zheng Yiguan's Beigang wealth did not fall into the hands of the Dutch according to historical events, but fell into Deng Haonan's wallet.

Beigang was destroyed, and Zheng Yiguan could no longer contain the Dutch, so that the three major forces on Dongfan Island, the Netherlands, Spain, and Zheng Yiguan, could no longer maintain a three-legged situation. Without Zheng Yiguan's role in containing the Dutch, the Spaniards would not be able to fight the Dutch alone, and soon, the Dutch would expel the Spaniards from Taiwan and colonize Taiwan alone.

What Hao Nan didn't know was. His surprise attack on Beigang just contributed to the punctual occurrence of this historical event.

Is that Hao Nan going to change history, or is history quietly changing him?

※※

The Pacific Fleet looted a huge amount of wealth from the Beigang merchant gang this time, and two-thirds of the family wealth accumulated by Zheng Yiguan in the past few years plus Li Dan's inheritance fell into the hands of Na Haonan.

How many of these two-thirds are there?

After returning to the base of the twin islands, Deng Haonan's chief manager Sigou, Qian Shun, Zhang Chi, Yu Minglu, Liu Weiran and others of the Quartermaster Department hurriedly organized a manpower inventory.

In addition to antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold and silver jewelry, rare treasures and other invaluable things, there are two gold witch blades, silver New Wanwang. Two. The cost of raw silk, silk fabrics, silk silk, satin, cotton, linen fabrics, porcelain handicrafts and other goods for the introduction of ships is worth 10,000 taels. Franc machine artillery force. 70,000 rounds of artillery shells and 80,000 catties of gunpowder. Large and small ships are researched, with a population of 4 groups and 7 people, of which more than ninety percent are workers in the "industrial base" of Beigang, and the rest are women and children.

The Twin Islands base suddenly became lively. At first, these people thought they were going to be sold to Nanyang as piglets. As a result, they came to a large-scale fortress, and after Huang Zupei and Sigou were appeased one after another, they were properly resettled after losing their homes, only to know that they were still doing their previous jobs, but they had just changed bosses.

They don't care who they give the job to. They only care about making money and guaranteeing their lives, and they are not afraid of beating and scolding. But I'm afraid of being abused.

Fortunately, none of this qiē will happen. As long as they do their job honestly, they can live in peace.

The people of the Zheng Mansion were confined and strictly guarded. The men of the Zheng Mansion and the subordinates of Zheng Yiguan were assigned to quarry on a nearby desert island, and the maids of the Zheng Mansion were sent to the Deng Mansion as envoys and maids after being screened and sent to the Deng Mansion as envoys and maids. The older ones were sent to women's workplaces such as garment factories and dyeing factories, and some of them were hated by others, and together with the bounty, they were rewarded in the name of Deng Haonan for the second military officers and soldiers.

After the arrangements are made. Lin Feng immediately dispatched a clipper ship to Mi Bao Na Hao Nan on Kinmen Island.

※※

At this time, Deng Haonan didn't know that his Pacific Fleet had achieved fruitful results, let alone that he was now an upstart. With two-thirds of Zheng Yiguan's wealth, Deng Haonan can already be on an equal footing with the Chao Gang and the Lu Gang in terms of economic strength.

He led twenty frigates and made a mighty journey all the way to Kinmen Island. When you get to Kinmen Island. One after another, they encountered the major forces that came to participate in the alliance conference. Such as Yang Tiansheng, Yang Liu, Yang Qi, Zhong Bin, Li Kuiqi, He Bin, etc., are all the leaders of the Twenty-Eight Brothers Alliance.

Among them, Na Haonan is only the most familiar with Yang Tiansheng, although the others have trade dealings with Deng Haonan. But they don't know each other. Thereupon. Deng Haonan boarded Yang Tiansheng's ship and came all the way to Kinmen Island.

During this period, Deng Zhinan naturally wanted to discuss countermeasures with Yang Tiansheng. Deng Haonan knew that Yang Tiansheng also had the intention of competing for the position of alliance leader. Therefore, when talking to Yang Tiansheng, Na Haonan avoided talking about anything else, but said that he and Zheng Yiguan had become inseparable, and only opposed Zheng Yiguan as the leader of the alliance.

This is to imply that Yang Tiansheng is not only not supporting Zheng Yiguan, but also not necessarily supporting Yan Siqi, let alone being the leader of the alliance. This made Yang Tiansheng very happy, and repeatedly said that he would stand on a united front with Na Haonan.

Others such as Yang Liu, Yang Qi, Zhong Bin, Li Liaoqi, He Bin, etc. Although they all have the attitude of giving it a try in their hearts, their strength is not as good as Zheng Yiguan and Yang Tiansheng, and they are not even as good as Yan Siqi before Zhang Shicheng defected, so they have their own considerations in their hearts, or support Zheng Yiguan. or support Yang Tiansheng, it depends on which of them can give them benefits.

All the forces that came to the alliance were all doing their best, such as Yang Tiansheng's more than 70 warships, and less He Bin's 30 warships. As big as Yang Tiansheng's mouth material ship, there are also less than 100 mosquito cannon clippers. Na Haonan's twenty frigates were completely inferior in terms of numbers, and they were only in the middle in terms of total tonnage.

Although Na Haomu has been out of the limelight recently. It seems that he has become a star figure in the Brotherhood League. But. Di Haonan's low-key actions made him avoid the corners of the major forces, and except for Zheng Yiguan, no one would focus on Deng Haonan.

It can be seen. The major forces know about the election of a new leader. It is bound to cause discord and even unpleasantness. So it's not good, the major forces will fight, so everyone will bring their main water army, one is to increase the momentum, and the other is to prevent trouble.

"I heard that the Haonan brothers are doing a good job in Nanyang! It seems that a Dutch battleship was also captured? ”

Yang Tiansheng mentioned it casually. Deng Haonan knew that they must have captured some news, but looking at Yang Tiansheng's expression, there was only one point of belief, three points of doubt, and seven points of disbelief.

Na Haonan knew that it was a temptation, so he smiled and said: "Yang Lao Mo is going to laugh!" There are only a few broken ships below, how to follow the Dutch Navy? On the contrary, I bought a few small warships that were eliminated by Spain in Manila, and I didn't want to come here and it became such a big joke with false rumors! ”

Yang Tiansheng kept staring at Di Haonan, and when he saw Deng Haonan's eyes were not shocked, he laughed at the moment: "That's it!" Nowadays, people like to spread falsehoods and confuse right and wrong, and they can't be true! ”

Na Haonan knows. He captured the flagship of the Dutch Penghu fleet, the Uhfersian. As well as the matter of the commander, Major General Van Weit, sooner or later, it will be made public. But it can still be dragged in front of it, and the Buddha Immortal is worth millions. The major forces did not dare to rob the Dutch, but they dared to rob Na Haonan. Even if Deng Haonan is stronger than the Dutch, they dare to rob it, because they are not afraid of the Chinese, but only the foreigners.

This kind of inferior roots. made Deng Haonan dare not publicize.

So he had to hurriedly change the topic and said: "I got news from Nanyang that the Dutch fleet has returned to Europe and Zhejiang, and the South China Sea trade route has been opened!" ”

Sure enough, Yang Tiansheng heard about it. Suddenly came to his senses and asked, "The Dutch fleet is gone?" ”

Na Haonan nodded, so he told Yang Tiansheng about the outbreak of a large-scale war in Europe. The Protestant states went to war with the Catholic Holy Roman Empire, and the Netherlands, as a Protestant state, broke out the Third War of Independence with Spain, so the Dutch navy was redeployed to the mainland.

Yang Tiansheng looked at Deng Haonan in surprise. He had also heard that Europe was not at peace, but he could not know so much about it, especially when Catholic and Protestant countries went to war. Deng Haonan directly said these things he didn't understand. Naturally, it's staggering.

"Brother Haonan's trip to Nanyang this time is really insightful! Congratulations! ”

Na Haonan hurriedly said that he didn't dare, saying that he had heard all this from foreign missionaries.

Yang Tiansheng said in his heart: You can know such a detailed role as a small character, but the intelligence network he spent a lot of money to build could not get this kind of news, so he could only secretly scold his subordinates for being a group of rice buckets.

"Now that Europe is fighting! The Dutch Navy is also gone! Then we can go down to Nanyang to sell goods! ”

Yang Tiansheng thought that every trip out of Nanyang to sell goods would have an income of millions, and the silver in vain made his face full of joy.

Na Haonan said deliberately: "I only sigh that although the Dutch Navy is gone, the fleet of the Dutch East India Company is still there!" Not to be underestimated! What's even more damning. Zheng Yiguan has always been secretly communicating with the Dutch, even if Yang Lao goes to the South Seas, he still needs to be careful! In a word, it poked Yang Tiansheng's heart, it was called a pain!

Yang Tiansheng looked very angry and said: "In the past, Zheng Yiguan used to be under the banner of the Dutch. Robbed our merchant ships halfway! Later, Li Dan forced him to stop, but it didn't take two months. Li Dan is dead, and Zheng Yiguan colludes with the Dutch to stop with eight products and two pools! At that time, our strength was not good, so we had to watch the trade between Zheng Guanchuan and Nanyang."

Na Haonan fanned the flames and asked, "What about now?"

Now? Yang was born cold. When he snorted, it seemed that he didn't take Zheng Yiguan seriously.

As he spoke, the ship was already approaching Kinmen Island, and according to the rules, they were not allowed to bring sailors into the port, so the sailors of the major forces were anchored in the open sea.

However, Na Haonan is not among them, because Na Haonan is Yan Siqi's descendant and a native of Kinmen Island. Therefore, Deng Haonan's fleet could sail directly into the dock of Kinmen Island.

This is also one of the reasons why Yang Tiansheng is willing to make friends with Na Haonan, because he has arrived on the island. The safety issue is all under Yan Siqi's thoughts, if there is Na Haonan by his side, there is no doubt that the safety factor has increased greatly.

Twenty Canton ships drove into the dock, and from afar they saw a fast boat sailing out of Shuizhai and blocking Na Haonan's fleet from entering.

Na Haonan walked out. He shouted at the counselor, "What? Am I not allowed to enter? ”

When the counselor saw that it was Di Haonan, he immediately smiled and said, "It turns out that the four leaders are back!" The little one has seen the four chiefs".

Na Haonan nodded. "These twenty warships are all my men."

The counselor smiled: "According to the rules, the warships of other alliance leaders are not allowed to enter the general rudder, but the four leaders are from the island and are not within the rules. How dare the little one stop you? This leads the way for the four-headed leader."

The gate of the water village and the lock of the sea barrier were opened, and Na Haonan led the fleet into the port.

"The Four Chiefs are back".

"I've seen the four bosses!"

On the waterway along the way, the minions on the various sentry posts were all happy when they saw Deng Haonan coming back.

shouted one after another, making Deng Haonan, who was standing at the bow of the boat, feel like a military parade.

Unexpectedly, he already had a status in the hearts of the minions on Kinmen Island.

Na Haonan couldn't help but be proud in his heart!

Zhang Shicheng's descendants were captured and killed by Zheng Yiguan, which cast a lingering shadow on the water village of Kinmen Island. And Ma Cheng is obviously not enough to deter Zhang Shicheng's remaining subordinates, and Yan Siqi is like a dead heart, and they all issued a "letter of resignation", and these minions have no idea where they will go in the future.

But. Seeing that their four leaders, Na Haonan, suddenly came back with twenty warships, this made them suddenly feel like they had a backbone in their hearts. They watched Na Haonan's rapid rise in a short period of time and believed in Na Haonan's ability.

※※

Received a report from his subordinates. Yan Siqi knew that after Na Haonan came back, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly took Ma Cheng and Yan Siyu to meet B at the Inner Harbor Wharf

The inner harbor was large, and Na Haonan's fleet anchored in the southeast corner. It did not dock, and all officers and soldiers were in a state of combat readiness at all times when they received orders.

And Deng Haonan and Yang Tiansheng, Yang Liu, Yang Qi, Zhong Bin, Li Kuiqi, He Bin and others arrived at the dock by boat.

That Haonan saw Yan Siqi and them again. I don't have the same emotion and enthusiasm as I used to. Yan Siqi's face was a little depressed. Ma Cheng still greeted him with a smile, and he couldn't see his depth. And stayed on Yan Siyu's face for a few more seconds, but it was a pity that this woman would always wear the veil that should be moldy, and she couldn't see any expression of her at all.

Due to the presence of Yang Tiansheng and others, after everyone greeted each other, they were all talking on the table.

It's just that Yan Siqi took the time to ask Di Haonan. "Fourth, it's just the right time for you to come back! I heard you're doing a great job in Nanyang! What do you think? How many warships did you bring back?.

Na Haonan smiled faintly and said, "Thank you for your concern!" The younger brother has negative expectations and only brings back these twenty warships! ”

"What? Only these twenty?.

When Yan Siqi heard this, he suddenly fell back from excitement to sighing, and then his eyes lost their brilliance, and he just said yes. He no longer paid attention to Deng Haonan. Speak straight to other people.

Ma Cheng patted Deng Haonan on the shoulder. smiled: "The fourth brother is not to blame!" lost his second brother. His mind was a little confused! ”

Na Haonan hurriedly said: "Don't dare."

Ma Cheng suddenly asked, "Elder Yang seems to be very kind to see you?"

Na Haonan just smiled faintly, Ma Cheng gave Deng Haonan an understanding look, and then turned around to greet the others. Na Haonan has always guessed in his heart that Ma Cheng is Yang Tiansheng's person. At this time, I saw Ma Cheng's expression. It seems that he thought that he had reached some kind of agreement with Yang Tiansheng. So it's obviously a lot closer to myself.

Turning around and looking at Yan Siyu looking at him quietly, Di Haonan smiled: "What's wrong?" Don't recognize me?.

Yan Siyu glanced at Deng Haonan. Turn around and go.

Na Haonan was stunned for a moment, and immediately guessed that she had something to say to herself alone, so she shook her head with a wry smile. looked left and right at the moment, and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he followed Yan Siyu and left.

In a remote corner, Yan Siyu stopped.

Na Haonan followed. There was a feeling in my heart, as if I was cheating with her, weird.

"Why did you come back? Are you here to see our brother and sister's jokes? ”

Yan Siyu asked. Deng Haonan was a little caught off guard.

"This," Deng Haonan shook his head. said: "I just happen to have a batch of goods to be shipped back to sell!" Coming back by the way, I didn't expect so much to happen."

Yan Siyu stomped his feet. It seemed that he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, just said, "You are always self-righteous!" Think you're the smartest in the world! ”

Na Haonan shook his eyebrows. This seems to be a compliment!
