Xie Xi was still jumping and scolding over there, but the brothers here had already seen his bluff, so they stepped forward to persuade him to stop him, and the rifle was also given.

Since the old man had disguised his black face, Pang Yu sang about his white face - he stepped forward to help the scholar up, let him sit on a chair, and handed him a bowl of tea to suppress his shock.

"Hey, I said, Brother Wang, I heard that you once went to the Imperial Prison, since you can come out alive, you shouldn't be the kind of person who doesn't know the severity - I don't believe it, in the face of Jinyi Wei Tiqi and Dongchang Fanzi, you dare to be so crazy?"

Wang Pu still looked depressed, but subconsciously drank the tea one by one, and he didn't know if he heard it.

"Didn't your Ming officialdom still call us short-haired bandits? A group of bandits broke the city, but we didn't burn, kill, loot or loot, and you in turn want us to compensate for the losses? This word really spread, I'm afraid people are not laughing at you Wang Pu and Wang Jieshan, but laughing at your teacher Zuo Guangdou, as well as the entire Donglin Party, right? ”

The mention of the teacher's name and the reputation of the Donglin Party finally made the old man Jinshi sober up a little, but he had no way to refute Pang Yu's words - he can't say that you guys are too "good" tonight, so that he almost forgot their identity as "bandits".

Wang Jieshan could only sit on the chair and gasp, puffing out like a toad. But Pang Yu didn't intend to let him go like this, he was still smiling, slowly but profoundly hitting his self-confidence: "Since we talked about losses, let's calculate, how much has we lost?" Our artillery bombarded two rounds before and after, and the north gate and city wall basically collapsed, but does this have anything to do with the common people? At most, it's just a bit of a hassle to get in and out of the city, but now that you don't have to pay taxes in and out of the city, the people are happier—aren't they? ”

"Only two shells entered the city, and one fell into the river pond, which did not kill anyone, but blew up more than a dozen catties of fish for the surrounding people to loot. It should be a good thing. The other shot landed in the shop area in the north of the city, and happened to fall into the silk shop of the Xu Yuanwai's house just now, killing two young men. Later, the fire spread again, destroying a total of seven brick houses and nine thatched houses, but all of them were shops and warehouses. There are no dwellings among them - please sue me, where are the people displaced? ”

Wang Pu was a little careless at first, but the more he listened to it, his eyes widened. He never expected that the guy in front of him, who seemed to be a fool, would really investigate the damage clearly, and even he, a criminal and civil official in charge of government affairs, was far inferior.

"It was because we burned down a lot of goods in those shops that we made compensation. But don't forget, Mr. Jieshan, you are the official of Qiongzhou Mansion, and it is your responsibility to supervise the people in fire prevention and disaster relief. But where did you run at the time? Have you ever thought about your own dereliction of duty? We are bandits, and it is natural for us to kill people and set fires; And you are an official, and it should be up to you to pacify the people's livelihood. Now it's actually upside down? - We're making amends for you, you know? ”

Pang Yu was stunned to talk about Wang Pu himself, and the latter stood up angrily again, and hesitated for a long time, but he still couldn't say anything to refute.

"Money. We can pay for you. But the dead are killed. But it is irreplaceable. A total of six people died this time. Four of them were ordered by you to stay on the wall. He died before he could escape. If it is our sin to blow up those two shopkeepers. Then you have four soldiers go up to the wall and die. But it's double iniquity! Not to mention. If you don't have it, you just want to go your own way. We should have entered the city a long time ago. This qiē will not happen at all - Mr. Jieshan. Now you think. Whose sin is greater? ”

"That's six lives. Lao Xie slapped you in the face. It's really a light fight! ”

Drop this last word. Pang Yu turned around and left. Wang Pu stood still for a long time. He sat down in his chair again. Suddenly, he bowed his head. He vomited a mouthful of blood.

Later, Yan Wenchang still couldn't look at it. called the Wang family's servant to come over and help the master to leave slowly. After waiting for someone to leave. He looked up at Pang Yu. Hesitantly smiled:

"This ...... Mr. Pang. The rhetoric is sharp. But it doesn't seem to be in line with the way of relaxation. It is important to know that it is too much. ”

The implication is that you don't sing well with a white face. Pang Yu also knew that he had lost his mouth. Smiled a little embarrassedly:

"Hehe, I was angry for a while, and I patronized and scolded happily, but I forgot my original intention, and I laughed and laughed."

"It doesn't matter, the best thing for the Donglin Party is to play scheming, red and white faces may not be useful to them, it is better to scold, but it can touch a little."

Ling Ning said with relief on the side, and snorted indifferently:

"That's it, this kind of sour talent, it's not a big deal to offend it. The Donglin Party members are all of this kind of goods: Zhangba candlestick, illuminating others without looking at themselves. If this birdman is willing to cooperate, he will stay, and if he dares not to cooperate, let him get out of the way-Lao Yan, you keep an eye on it, don't give him a chance to make trouble for us. ”

"Your Excellency, don't worry, the lower officials will do their best."

Before they knew it, Yan Wenchang's name for them had changed, but no one cared about these modern lads - they were all tired after tossing all night.

When they walked out of the hall of the palace, the sky was already dark, and the sound of roosters crowing faintly in the distance.

"What a long night......"

A few young people casually washed their faces with the rain water in the water tank in the courtyard, and their spirits were lifted again. The arrangement of more than 20 days before and after, coupled with the hard work of this night, should be regarded as a preliminary stabilization of the control of the situation in Qiongzhou Mansion.

"The matter of going to Guangzhou is finally an eyebrow. With that group of people as the guide, Boss Cheng's shop will not be so conspicuous when it enters Guangzhou...... However, it is better to wait for a while before passing, and then look at the direction of the wind, and then say that this is what Pang Yu said earlier about "another charter" - using the merchants of Qiongzhou as a cover to let them stand forward. That group of people has ready-made connections on the mainland, it is easier to get through, and even if they fail, it doesn't matter.

The old housekeeper of Cheng Mansion was able to understand this heart, and thanked everyone gratefully. However, no one accepted it - with other shops as subcontractors, Cheng's shop now has not much to do in trade, and it doesn't really matter whether he goes to other places or not. When they go to Guangzhou, they will still play a role as their spy station, and they will thank each other for it.

The group returned to the warehouse camp, but saw that Wang Haiyang was already standing at the door waiting for them.

"How's it going? Is it still considered smooth? ”

Just by looking at their faces, you know that it should be good. Wang Haiyang just asked casually. Without even waiting for an answer, he continued:

"It doesn't matter if it's smooth or not—we're going to leave today and return to Lingao."

"In such a hurry, didn't you say that you can give a week of grace?"

Everyone was surprised, especially Ling Ning, who had just stayed up all night. I hope to get some sleep.

Wang Haiyang smiled and spread his hands:

"I can't get the grace period, our radio station almost didn't blow up last night, and it is said that a large group of people over there are making a splash. Several members of the management committee, including Hu Wen, demanded that the main force return immediately. Professor Li and Captain Tang couldn't hold it down. Twelve gold medals were sent directly to us, asking us to go home immediately. ”

"What's going on? Was it the labor camp or the rebellion of those Western devils? ”

Xie Xi, Ling Ning and the others' faces immediately became stern, their girlfriends and wives were all over there.

"No, it's not a big deal - it's just that someone sent a batch of gifts to the base."

"Gifts? What do you mean? ”

Modern people have a lot of ideas, and the word "gift" is often not a good thing. This time, however, the gifts received by the Committee were genuine - several large boxes. It was stuffed with silk, brocade, jewelry. High-grade porcelain ...... Good stuff like that. Even in the Ming Dynasty, it can only be purchased in the most prosperous areas in the south of the Yangtze River; In addition, there are ivory, agarwood, rare spices and other Nanyang specialties; There was also a small chest stuffed with gold and silver ingots...... In short, this batch of gifts is extremely valuable, even in the eyes of those who are accustomed to seeing good things, it can definitely be called a windfall.

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Everyone became more and more confused, and Wang Haiyang smiled bitterly:

"That's what I thought at first......

The problem is that these gifts are not delivered to the door. It's on a dark and windy night in one month. Suddenly appeared on the beach outside the red port, near the dock where the Princess galleon was moored, not far from the main base gate. After Wang Haiyang said this, everyone here could immediately understand the reason why everyone in the committee and even the entire collective were panicked -- of course, it was a good thing to send gold and silver treasures this time, but what if they sent swords or guns and bullets again and again? Even if the base is protected by a wall, it can't be attacked lightly. It is not difficult for people to destroy the docks, farms, destroy or rob the Princess.

"Someone sent something. Confirmed? ”

Pang Yu actually had points in his heart, and then Wang Haiyang's answer also confirmed his guess:

"There was a small prayer box with a letter in it. The content is very simple, it is to express our gratitude for the virtue of helping at sea that time, and the payment is made by Zheng Zhilong of Zhangxia. ”――

Sure enough, it is the Zheng Jiadi forces, these sea men have clear grievances, and they helped them last time, and they didn't even come back for a month, so they gave back a lot of thanks.

However, the future number one overlord of the East China Sea had already shown a bit of domineering at this time. Giving gifts in this way is more or less demonstrative - even repaying the favor so quickly. It's so valuable, so what if it's a grudge? Wouldn't the rewards be faster and more ferocious?

Even Pang Yu can understand the meaning. Professor Li must have thought of it too, which is why the committee is so anxious - there are no soldiers in his hands, and his waist is not hard.

"Cut, in fact, they are still afraid of us, otherwise these gifts will be sent directly to Qiongzhou Mansion."

Xie Xi was relatively calm, and he could see through the tension behind the arrogance of the Zheng family at a glance - they were hiding from the Qionghai, and the appearance of this big iron ship that day must have shocked them a lot. It's just a matter of sneaking around the Lingao landing, if you really dare to play this kind of trick around the Qionghai, as soon as the radar is turned on, you can't run away if you want to.

Wang Haiyang nodded, and finally said good news - in fact, the last one was not bad.

"That's right, so Captain Tang agreed that our main force would continue to return by land, and the original plan to take Chengmai by the way would not change."

"Appeal ......"

Everyone here breathed a long sigh of relief, after all, the Zheng family was still goodwill, and it seemed that there was no big threat after analyzing it over there, otherwise Tang Jian would not allow them to go back slowly.

If there is more than half of the votes, it must be implemented unconditionally - since it is a resolution of the Committee, there is nothing to say, it is ordered. Fortunately, Pang Yu had already made a full set of plans here, and some preparations for departure had already been completed, so there was no difficulty in acting in advance.

The artillery crew boarded the Qionghai steamship early in the morning, and as the most critical heavy firepower unit, they would quickly return to Lingao by steamer, which was enough to ensure the superiority of the defending troops' ground firepower. It was for this reason that the Commission agreed to continue the return of the large force by land.

However, the twelve-pounder bronze cannon was left in the camp with all the ammunition and spare parts—it could not be carried on the ship in a hurry, and there was no shortage of bronze on the Lingao side, so as long as it proved that the cannon was usable, Master Huang could cast several of them at any time. So I just left this thing in the state capital, so that it can continue to deter the local residents. In addition, Ma Qianshan also threw two gunners down and asked them to train and organize a new artillery team.

In addition to loading the artillery crew, the Qionghai also carried more than 30,000 pieces of silver -- this Qiongzhou campaign cost so much manpower and material resources to the base, so there must be some loot to move back, right? Plus thousands of square meters of logs -- Wang Ruobin wanted to build a shipbuilding yard, and specially instructed that all the "usable" materials here be moved back. Therefore, in addition to the wood, they also kidnapped dozens of boatmen, and the whole family was dragged to Lingao. These things had already been loaded onto the ship and had gone with the ship that morning.

The departure of the army was delayed until noon, there was no way, there were too many people - Wang Haiyang selected more than 600 strong men to return with him, and this group of men was now not prisoners of war, but followed them as newly recruited soldiers.

At the beginning, they were worried that there were so many people, and if they bombed the camp or even rebelled on the way, it would be difficult to clean up. However, Wang Haiyang, Beiwei and others conducted assault training for them for more than ten days, and they fought together every day, and their prestige in the army was gradually established. Especially after shaving all the heads of these people into bald scoops, these GIs quickly adapted to the consciousness that they were also part of the "short-haired" -

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in the year of Chongzhen were really easy to be "transformed". Counting Tickets Ha-
