"Quickly clean up the battlefield and let the soldiers dig a pit outside the mountain and bury these corpses! Prisoners are held in a centralized manner! ”

"Yes!"

The corpses of pirates all over the ground cannot be left like this, they must be burned or buried as much as possible. It's the hot season, and the Pirate Island climate is humid, and if these corpses are not disposed of, they will quickly decompose, which can easily cause the plague. Originally, Wang Zhenbang wanted to throw all the corpses of these pirates into the sea to feed the fish, but after thinking about it, it is better to let them be buried in the ground, lest their souls not be able to enter the underworld and be reincarnated.

This Dazhai is indeed well built, and the rows of houses in it are arranged very neatly. Standing on the city wall, it can be seen that most of the houses in the city are typical Fujian square buildings, and a small number of them are scattered by single-family families. The square building is also a kind of Fujian tulou, in which three rectangular buildings stand next to each other and occupy the position in the center of Dazhai.

The rectangular building is connected together, in which the rectangular building on the left and right sides is rectangular in the word "mouth" from the plane of the main building, and the one in the middle is in the shape of the word "day". According to the characteristics of Min style architecture, the middle floor of the rectangular building is generally the same height as the closely connected floors, and some are slightly lower than the main building. The new building and the old building are integrated, which not only saves land and expands the living space, but also maintains the unity of the whole building, which can reflect the high unity of the whole family. There are a number of doors in the building of these two kinds of tulou to communicate, and the front is also set up with a gate for the owner to enter and exit, which can be said to extend in all directions.

Judging from these buildings, this Dazhai has been around for several years, and it should have been built when the sea sharks occupied Nanri Island. Nearly 30 years of wind and rain, but the flavor is still there. Geng Jingzhong carefully looked at the houses inside, from the outside, the surrounding high walls are towering, the four corners are regular, all of them are closed, and the defense function is very prominent. Careful observation, it can be found that some of them are equal in height around them, and more are low in front and high in the back, that is, the backward is higher than the forward and both sides, and the roofs on both sides form a half-story or one-story high staggered, the former is the top of the hanging mountain, and the latter is the top of the heavy eaves resting on the mountain. From these characteristics, it can be seen that pirates also come from all over the world, and not all people from the same place.

"Shizi, Dazhai has been cleaned up, and all the pirates in the city have been imprisoned, do you want to go in and have a look?" After the entire Dazhai was cleared, Wang Zhenbang climbed the city wall again to report to Geng Jingzhong. This Dazhai was completely taken, which also means that Nanri Island was completely taken.

"I won't go in, let the soldiers do the house-raiding business, they can do this!" As he spoke, he smiled unconsciously. When Wang Zhenbang heard this, he also smiled. But no, when the Marines finish killing a bandit, they will immediately copy it. Coupled with the actions of the past few days, they also copied the homes of more than 20 local heroes, and they are absolutely familiar with doing this.

"What the prince said is that there is chaos in it now! Hehe! ”

"Check out the nearby villages! By the way, tell the warriors not to harass the people in the village. Geng Jing said solemnly.

"Shizi, don't worry, the soldiers have not entered other villages, they are all waiting outside."

Geng Jingzhong nodded, "Okay, let's go over now, I don't know if these pirates have bullied them." ”

The group walked straight east, and walked for about a quarter of an hour before reaching the nearest stockade. According to the captured pirates, apart from the big village to the west, this village is the largest, with a population of more than 500. However, when everyone approached, they found that the village was not large, and there was no wall. Two lonely round tulou stand on the edge of the village, surrounded by square buildings. However, there was not a single figure on the road or around the stockade, probably because of their attack, and they all hid in their houses.

"Shizi, do you want to call everyone out!" The guard Yang Jian saw that there was no one in the stockade, and asked Geng Jingzhong.

"No, they must not trust us at all at this moment, so don't bother them." Geng Jingzhong shook his head and vetoed. According to intelligence, most of the residents of overseas islands fled to the islands because they could not survive on the mainland. Even those pirates are not all vicious, judging from the decoration of the pirates, they are basically still dressed in the clothes of the former Ming Dynasty, and their hair is not the big braids of the Manchu Dynasty. And Geng Jingzhong and the soldiers still have Manchu braids at the moment, which is an anomaly for these overseas people.

"Lao Wang, the life of the people here is as usual, and we will set up a garrison here and send some soldiers to garrison it. There was a shortage of materials on the island, so he ordered the Putian Princess Fang, which is closest to here, to prepare some daily necessities such as food, cloth and medicine to be sent to the island. ”

"Yes, son! Go back and do it right away! ”

"Let's keep going!"

Nanri Island is more than 10 kilometers long from east to west, and 3 kilometers wide from north to south at its narrowest point. Therefore, it is unrealistic for such a large island to be able to visit it on two legs. Nanri Island has now become Geng Jingzhong's private island, Geng Jingzhong has never thought of handing over Nanri Island to the current government to take care of, and besides, the government does not want to manage these foreign places.

Geng Jingzhong observed the situation on the island as he walked, thinking that it would be good to grow opium poppies on this island. The climate of this island is humid and the temperature is not too high, so it is still very suitable, and you can hire the people of the island to help with planting in the future.

When the group walked to the beach, they also felt a little tired from walking. The soldiers are still busy in the village, but Geng Jingzhong and them are here leisurely watching the scenery, which is only the privilege of the superiors. At this time, their location is located on the north side of Nanri Island, and the south wind blows from behind, giving a refreshing feeling. Geng Jingzhong asked the others to stop and walked to the beach by himself, while he quietly watched the sea alone. The waves of the sea for many years wash the yellow sand grains into smooth and delicate skin, and the wind is elegant, the mountains are secret, and the water is blowing, and all kinds of changes are practiced here! From the moment I stepped on the beach, I felt that there were a lot of distractions, just like this empty whiteness, indescribable, and the whole person was much more transparent.

The Sea Shark has been taken, and presumably the other two detachments should not be a problem, but they need to plan their next moves. He didn't see pirates as rivals from the start, just a slightly larger reef in his path. Capture the sea shark and the first step of clearing the pirates is complete, and you can rest for a while. The original plan was to destroy the largest group and bring down the other smaller groups of pirates. If there are still pirates who are obsessed, then send a large army to the lair.

The islands where the small group of pirates hide are also relatively small, like a piece of sand in the vast sea. However, most of the pirates were connected with each other, and the pirates who had been captured led the way, and the pirates could find other pirates along the way, and the pirates were also very clear about this, so Geng Jingzhong was not worried that the small groups of pirates would not surrender. According to more than a year of open investigation and covert visits in Gongzhufang, the approximate number of pirates in the Fujian waters was also roughly estimated, and all of them were recorded in the intelligence book. Geng Jingzhong also wanted to occupy these large and small islands and subdue these pirates for his use.

In the entire overseas islands, all the inhabitants combined, I am afraid that there are no fewer people than an ordinary county town on the land. With so many islands, the land on the island is generally uncultivated due to a lack of manpower. It is also a waste to have so much land idle, and it is better to use it to grow opium poppies to generate income for him and achieve a series of purposes.

His development in Fujian has now entered a bottleneck, and he urgently needs to break through. His strength is not as good as that of the Qing court and Wu Sangui, so he must not be a bird. If you want to continue to expand the army, the Qing court will definitely not allow it, and forcing it to do so will inevitably attract the Qing court's blow, which is extremely unwise. There are still five years to go before the imperial court cuts the feudal domain, and these five years can accumulate strength with peace of mind, as long as it does not cross a certain bottom line, the imperial court will not rashly act against a feudal king.

Since it is difficult to make any big moves on land, then the countless islands on the sea have become your best choice. Mawei Shipyard is still building warships, and various armaments are also accumulating. In the future, the focus can be shifted to the coastal islands, which have not been cared for by the imperial court from ancient times to the present, and he can do whatever he wants on the islands. In the future, the Shengxian Scattered Processing Workshop will also have to be moved to the island, and this Nanri Island is very good, and the place is big enough. Moreover, this Nanri Island is located between Fuzhou and Zhangzhou, and it is basically the same distance from Yuegang or Mawei. The Qing court is still implementing a policy of banning the sea at the moment, and the new construction of a new port of Houyu has already touched their nerves, so Nanri Island can be used as an overseas trade point.

It seems that the most important task in the next stage is to absorb pirates and develop the local economy, and everything else must make way for these two tasks first. Needless to say, to get rid of those who are extremely vicious, most of the others are poor people, and they can be reformed, and no one wants to be a thief for the rest of their lives. Give them a chance to be a new person, and the vast majority of people will gladly accept it. As for those vicious people, if they are killed, forget it, and those who are not dead will be sent directly to the mine to be shackled to mine to atone for their sins.

The purpose of developing the local economy is to win the hearts and minds of the people, and when the people become rich, they will certainly vigorously support him. Although his family wears a traitor's hat, it doesn't have much to do with him, after all, it was his grandfather who was a traitor, not him. If the local economy wants to develop, it is necessary to build roads and develop sea trade, and the two must go hand in hand, which is the best way for the development of Fujian Province.

Before they knew it, an hour had passed, and Wang Zhenbang, Yang Jian and others stood not far away and didn't dare to disturb, just quietly looking at their son in a daze, and they also knew that the son must be thinking about the problem. Geng Jingzhong turned around and walked towards Wang Zhenbang and the others. After soaking his feet in the sea water for an hour, the surface of his feet was soaked white, and his legs were a little weak. I was tired of walking and wanted to rest at the beach, but I didn't expect to stand in a daze for another hour.
