Chapter 107: Relocation of North Port

Outside the water jam of Longmen Port, more than 30 Western warships of the Tailing Ocean Fleet bombarded the water village with the Dutch flag. At this time, a raging fire had already burned within a radius of three miles near the water village. The water village was shattered in the flames, making a loud creaking sound. Thick smoke billowed into the sky, and it could be seen clearly within a radius of dozens of miles. Perhaps it was mixed with the mournful screams of the minions in the water village, but it was soon covered by the rumbling cannons.

The sailors inside tried to rush in, but when they sailed out of the remaining ships, they were soon bombarded by more than a dozen times the fire of the Pacific Fleet and were quickly sunk.

Opposite Longmen Port, on the Beigang wharf, Qian Shun and Zhang Chi of the Quartermaster Department were worried by the mountains of goods. Thinking that there were still tens of thousands of workers in the Beigang Merchant Gang, he immediately forced Guo Huaiyi to gather workers and help them load all the goods of the Beigang Merchant Gang to the ships of the logistics fleet.

robbed other people's things, and forced others to help carry them, what is the reason?

Guo Huaiyi scolded Qian Shun and other "Chaogang people" in his heart, but he had to do it.

Soon, Guo Huai ordered his subordinates to ring the bell of the Beigang general rudder to gather for work, and then sent people to knock on the door along the street, door to door, and call the workers out to work.

At first, the workers did not dare to come out at all, until Guo Huai and his faction shouted that it was a "misunderstanding", and these workers came out one after another and gathered at the dock.

However, when they arrived at the dock, they learned that it was Guo Huaiyi's "collaborator" who helped the "robbers" load the goods of the Beigang merchant gang onto the "pirate ship". Many people immediately went on strike, saying that they would not do it.

As a result, when Di Haonan's people put the musket in their heads, one by one, their backbone disappeared in a hurry, and they worked obediently.

The Quartermaster Department knew that Zheng Yiguan's Beigang family was well-off, so it specially organized a logistics fleet composed of ten 2,000-ton Galen transport ships and 20 500-ton Fu ships, but when the goods were halfway loaded, Qian Shun found that all the goods on the dock could not be transported away, so he called a halt. Then, after Qian Shun and Zhang Chi discussed, they ordered people to pick out valuable and in-demand goods to move.

"! Zheng Yiguan is really rich and rivals the country! ”

Looking at the packed goods on the dock, Zhang Chi couldn't help but scold.

Qian Shun sighed: "In the past two years, I have helped the Dutch rob the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty!" And Li Dan, who has been operating in the maritime trade of the country for decades, how thick is his family background? As soon as he said a word, the Dutch negotiated peace with Da Ming! Now that all of them have been given to Zheng Yiguan, it is really unreasonable to be rich and rival the country? ”

Zhang Chi sneered: "So what? Isn't it all in the pocket of our principal now? The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind! ”

Qian Shun scolded with a smile: "Damn! It's really enjoyable to be a quartermaster for our principal! ”

Zhang Chile said: "And this account plus the last time, it is all counted on the head of the Chao Gang, is it strange that Zheng Yiguan doesn't look for the Chao Gang to work hard?" ”

As he spoke, the two looked at each other, and they both laughed unbridledly.

※※

Outside the gate of Zheng's mansion, Lieutenant Zhang Han had already transferred all the artillery, and twenty 80-millimeter cannons were divided into four groups, five of which were arranged in each of the four directions of east, west, south, and north, and the muzzle of the guns was only 50 meters away from Zheng's mansion. Once Liu Hu ordered a strong attack, a salvo of twenty cannons could destroy all the courtyard walls of the Zheng Mansion.

It's just that Liu Hu knows that there are a lot of belongings hidden in the Zheng Mansion. After such a long time, they have long hid their belongings. Liu Hu didn't have much time to dig into the ground to find treasure, so he could only scare the other party first, collect money first and then arrest people.

Liu Hu has already made up his mind to cheat the money first, and then clean up the people inside.

In the courtyard of the Zheng Mansion, Gan Hui naturally understood Liu Hu's intentions in his heart, and he did not agree to hand over the money.

"Huang Lao!" Gan Hui said bitterly: "You must not agree to their request!" They are robbers, and they are not to be trusted! ”

Huang Lao is Zheng Yiguan's uncle Huang Cheng, and he is the only one here, so Gan Hui has to listen to his opinion.

Huang Cheng sighed: "How can you not know the reason of old decay? It's just that the thieves are powerful, and there is no other way to do it at the moment! ”

Gan Hui looked at the fiery red sky in the west, anxious. said: "Zheng Shuai has only been gone for a day, compared to the nearby Tanma, he has already learned that the old camp has been attacked, and Zheng Shuai will come back soon!" We only need to hold out for a day before we can wait for reinforcements! ”

Huang Cheng sneered, looked at Gan Hui and said dissatisfiedly: "Do you think that the old man is really old and dizzy?" The cannon outside the courtyard wall will blow us to pieces in less than half an hour! It's not a pity for my old man to die, but the two younger brothers of an official, the son of the military advisor, and Li Dan's son are all here. ”

The old man hung his cane, and kept banging on the ground, and it could be seen that he was really helpless, and he was forced to be helpless.

Gan Hui sighed: "Zheng Shuai's entire savings are here, if they are handed over to the thief, how can they get it?" ”

Huang Cheng sighed deeply and said: "Now people are swords, I am fish and meat, and I don't promise to be empty of people and money!" If you say yes, there is a glimmer of hope! ”

That's right!

There is a silver lining!

Yu Hui's heart was dripping blood, and it was Liu Hu who gave them this glimmer of hope that would make them mess up and unable to forge the heart of fighting to the death.

What a heart attacker!

Gan Hui had to admire Liu Hu outside the courtyard wall!

Be a coffee guy!

Gan Hui angrily threw his single knife to the ground and sighed.

He still didn't turn Huang Cheng, and finally had to accept the reality.

Huang Cheng said to more than 300 Ding: "Put down your weapons and open the middle door!" ”

The family members were thinking of fighting for their lives. Killing one is enough, killing two earns one, and it's all death anyway! Unexpectedly, the final result was to disarm and surrender, and if people took the money, they would kill people

They are all descendants of Zheng Yiguan, and they all looked at Gan Hui with righteous indignation.

Seeing this, Huang Cheng turned around and patted Gan Hui on the shoulder with a sigh, and said, "Money is something outside the body, and you can get it back if you lose it!" It's just a temporary humiliation! But once a few children die, there is no way to get it back! That will be an eternal pain! ”

Looking at the three panicked children in the courtyard, with another long sigh, Gan Hui finally gave in.

Waving his hand to the family members, although everyone was unwilling, Gan Hui nodded, and they finally had to accept their fate.

※※

Squeak and rattle!

The gate of Zheng's mansion was pushed open, and Huang Cheng walked out with Gan Hui's support, accompanied by more than a dozen unarmed family members.

Gun under the shoulder! Guns! Aim!

There was a bang! The sound of the officers and soldiers of the Marine Corps on Liu Hu's side brushing their guns suddenly made Huang Cheng and Gan Hui's eyes tighten!

This is no ordinary robber!

It is clearly a well-trained army!

Captain Liu Hu had a horsewhip, and there was another neat sound of guns, and the officers and men of the Marine Corps put away their guns neatly again, and then carried their guns!

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. The family members of the Zheng Mansion were immediately shocked by this momentum, and the cannon mouth of the black hole was full of eerie murderous aura, and the desperate energy just now was suddenly gone.

And this qiē is another signal in the eyes of Huang Cheng and Gan Hui.

That's right! It's a naked deterrent!

Or rather, it's their dismount!

Huang Cheng came to Liu Huma, looked up at Liu Hu and said: "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they should be the first letter!" I also hope that your ministry will keep its promise and not hurt a single person in the Zheng Mansion! ”

Liu Hu said very happily: "That's nature!" The big husband spits a nail. I promise that as long as you take out all of Zheng Yiguan's financial reports in Beigang, I promise that no one will be injured, including the flowers and plants in Zheng's mansion! ”

Gan Hui said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that the wind will flash your tongue?" What a big breath! I'm afraid that if you can't eat, you'll be tired of your life! ”

Liu Hu sneered and ignored him. Said to Huang Cheng: "The ugly words are ahead, if you hide a penny of silver and don't hand it over, I will kill someone!" ”

Huang Cheng said: "Naturally! If there is a penny of silver hidden in the Zheng Mansion, you can kill it! ”

"Good! Talk fast! Liu Hu smiled: "Then don't waste time, let's start!" We have to go home for dinner before dark! ”

Huang Cheng and Gan Hui almost vomited blood, but they did it anyway.

Then, the housekeeper of the Zheng Mansion and his family, under the supervision and surveillance of the officers and soldiers of the Marine Corps, carried out the gold, silver and jewelry in the underground vault of the Zheng Mansion, the amount of which was unimaginable

Looking at hundreds of large mahogany boxes with gold appreciation, each box has a big iron lock and a seal, and after opening, the inside is filled with gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and painting, jewelry, agate, jade and other precious things. There were also a few boxes with no seals, and they were full of broken silver and jewelry, as well as copper coins, which were the money used by the Zheng Mansion on a daily basis.

In order not to leave a penny of silver and not to give Liu Hu an excuse, Huang Cheng gave a death order, and no one was allowed to leave property.

Sure enough, there is no need for rumors from the outside world, Zheng Yiguan is worth hundreds of thousands. But from here, it can be seen that these things have been converted into silver, no less than 10 million. Especially the antique calligraphy and painting. It's all something that can't be estimated.

Whether it was the officers and soldiers of the Marine Corps on Liu Hu's side, or the people of the Zheng family, even Gan Hui was shocked by such a huge wealth.

Liu Hu followed Di Haonan and also saw millions of taels of silver, and soon recovered his clarity, coughed, and ordered people to check everywhere to see if all the family funds were taken out as Huang Cheng said.

Soon, the investigation was over, and indeed as Huang Cheng said, Zheng Yiguan's family background was taken out.

Liu Hu nodded, very satisfied.

"Huang Lao is really honest! In the next should also fulfill the promise! Never hurt Zheng Mansion! ”

Huang Cheng and Gan Hui breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, but the next moment they were dumbfounded again.

"The contemptible master really wants to see you, so I ask you to go back with me!"

Liu Hu pointed to Zheng Zhiguan, Zheng Zhifeng, and Shi Lang, and smiled slightly.

With them, Zheng Yiguan knew the truth, and he didn't dare to act rashly.

Gan Hui said angrily: "You don't talk about credit!" ”

Lihu said: "Who said that Lao Tzu is not trustworthy? Lao Tzu promised not to hurt any of you Zheng Mansion, but now does he hurt you? ”

"You" Gan Hui couldn't refute it angrily and couldn't speak.

Measure the past! Liu Hu didn't hurt any of them. It's just that they were captured.

The nervousness just now happened to fall into Liu Hu's language trap.

Huang Cheng looked like he had some high blood pressure, but he didn't come up in one breath and collapsed on the spot.

"Take it away!"

As soon as Liu Hu gave the order, all the officers and soldiers rushed up and grabbed Huang Cheng, Gan Hui, Zheng Zhiguan, Zheng Zhifeng, Shi Lang and other major figures. The other family members still had to resist, but they found that they had no weapons, and regretted that they should not have listened to Huang Cheng's words in the first place.

Zhan Zengyong stepped forward and asked: "There are Zheng Yiguan's cannon foundry, gunpowder factory, shipyard and other facilities in Beigang, and everything that can be moved has been moved!" It's just that the principal has just started, and the base of the twin islands is so big, but it's empty, it's not as good as "

Liu Hu nodded and said, "That's right!" The headmaster is now stronger than other small and medium-sized forces, but compared to the big forces, he is much weaker! As students, we should share our worries and solve problems for teachers! What do you mean by one"

Zhan Zengyong said: "There are tens of thousands of workers in Beigang and thousands of craftsmen, all of whom were caught on the twin islands, anyway, they are just to eat for a mixed meal, and if they have milk, they are mothers!" ”

Liu Hu frowned and said, "But how can the logistics fleet have a place to hold so many people?" ”

Zhan Zengyong said: "There are more than a dozen big ships in Beigang, hundreds of them. Enough to fit people! Besides, there are so many warships in the Great Pingyang Fleet, they are idle, and they will load more workers to go back! ”

Liu Hu was puzzled: "That's a warship!" How can there be room to fight when it is full of people? ”

Zhan Zengyong said: "When the Dutch sacked the coastal villages of Daming, a warship could hold thousands of people!" ”

Liu Hu frowned and said, "Then what is pretending to be a person?" That's pretending to be a slave! When the piglets are transported to the South Seas! And more than half of the 1,000 people died in Nanyang Ao! ”

Zhan Zengyong said: "That's too far!" It's only been three or two days since we returned to the base, and it's for the principal's cause to treat them back as piglets, isn't it? In short, just be kind to them in the future! ”

"This." Liu Hu is out of line, although Zhan Zengyong said that it is for the principal's great cause? He couldn't say no!

"Alright! Then I have to wronged them first! ”

Liu Hu nodded, and two thousand marines quickly dispatched and forcibly drove all the craftsmen in Zheng Yiguan's shipyard, artillery factory, gunpowder factory, and other blacksmith, carpentry, weaving, dye, and other workshops, regardless of men, women, old and young, to the ship.

Tens of thousands of craftsmen and workers were arranged on more than 100 large and small ships. After it really couldn't fit it, it was arranged on the warships of the Pacific Fleet.

Fortunately, at this time, the Pacific Fleet had completely destroyed the water blockage in Longmen Port, causing Zheng Yiguan's remaining more than 40 large and small warships to be burned and sunk in the water wall, cutting off one-third of Zheng Yiguan's naval strength.

For this reason, Lin Feng and other officers and men of the Pacific Fleet were very happy, but even so, Liu Hu still spent a lot of words to persuade Lin Feng to agree to use battleships to load the extra "prisoners"

Forcibly driven away, the inevitable cry of the guide was shocking, and many people thought that they were captured as slaves or sold to the Dutch as pigletsNote: Not only the Dutch caught the Han people as piglets, but many Han pirates also did this kind of black-hearted business, so they were unwilling in every way.

However, in the face of the bright bayonets of more than 2,000 Marines, they finally gave in unarmed.

Lin Feng and the others were a little unbearable to see this kind of scene, but Liu Hu was right, the current principal Deng Haonan is indeed very lacking in population. This is especially true for people who have the ability to work and the skills to work.

All for the principal!

All the officers and soldiers thought the same thing in their hearts at the same time. So you can leave everything else behind!

Faith!

Maybe call it a crazy personality cult of Deng Haonan!

At this time, it has taken root in the hearts of these martial arts disciples!

※※

In the evening, when the Pacific Fleet escorted nearly 200 ships of all sizes out of the North Harbor, the North Harbor was already on fire.

Lin Feng and Liu Hu finally decided not to leave anything to Zheng Yiguan, and destroyed everything that could not be taken away, and in the end, it was a fire that burned Beigang clean.

The fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, and several small villages near Beigang were not spared, and everyone was captured, leaving only a large fire.

Looking at the fire that stretched for more than ten miles, DeWitt, the Dutch governor in the castle of Geranza, couldn't help but sigh.

From beginning to end, the Dutch watched Deng Haonan's men rob Beigang, but they were indifferent.

Of course, they always thought about robbing the fat in front of them, otherwise they would not have run here to build two fortresses one after another.

It's just that the matter of Jinyu is too unbelievable.

Governor DeWitt watched the always large fleet besieging Zheng Yiguan's Longmen Harbor under the banner of the Dutch Navy and the East India Navy, but he was indifferent.

"Damn it! What the hell is going on? ”

Governor DeWitt couldn't help but complain that this kind of afterthought behavior made Rear Admiral Reyots, the commander of the fleet of the East India Company, beside him unhappy.

"Lord Governor!" Major General Rejouz asked, "Why didn't you allow me to fight?" They fly our flag and attack our allies at the same time! ”

Rear Admiral Rayoz has twelve frigates in his hands, but he is ashamed to go out against Deng Haonan's Pacific Fleet?

Governor DeWitt was really speechless, why were the naval commanders as arrogant as Rear Admiral Van Weitt? Van Witt is arrogant, because he is a member of the royal family and a regular Dutch navy. And Major General Rejouz is just a "security guard" of the East India Company, and he dares to speak out like this?

Although Governor De Witt was unhappy in his heart, and secretly scolded this girl for being an out-and-out fool and reckless man, but at this time the Dutch Penghu fleet had left, and he had to use the navy of the East India Company to appease him, so he said: "Their fleet is naturally vulnerable!" It's just that their army is outnumbered and carries a lot of artillery! If you attack rashly, I'm afraid they will come and attack our fortress! ”

Governor De Witt explained: "You know, our fortress has just been built, it is not well stocked, and there are only five hundred men stationed, so I dare not risk it! ”

Major General Rejouz didn't know that DeWitt was saving face for him, so he nodded and said, "It seems to be so!" It's just that Zheng Yiguan's Beigang has been destroyed, and the naval base has also been destroyed, and there are no people and money, will he be angry with us? After all, these people are under our banner! ”

Governor De Witt waved his hand and said: "Zheng Yiguan, who is empty of people and money, is difficult to protect himself, how dare he ask for our trouble?" It's true that he fears that we will abandon him! ”

Then he sighed: "It's just a pity for this North Port!" If only we had done it sooner! Damn Na Haonan, if he hadn't captured Major General Van Weite, we wouldn't have wasted time and lost the best excuse and opportunity to seize Beigang! ”

Major General Rayoz nodded, looking at the North Harbor in flames. A sigh.
