Three shots missed, one hit, this shell hit the stern, directly hit the unlucky Galen ship through, the shell flew out with scattered flesh, after this cannon hit, the gun on the battery hit the part below the waterline of the ship, a large hole was made, the ship began to enter the water and tilted, the ship was about to sink.

The three shells of the four heavy guns on the shore were not wasted, one shell directly interrupted a Guangzhou ship farther away, and the other shot directly overturned two small boats, and the ships full of Ding Zhuang who were ready to land in the harbor to fight were all lifeless and turned their heads and ran wildly, no one dared to turn back, and now there are only two Galen ships that are still intact, they have stopped shooting, but the battery is still ongoing, and two more shells fell on the deck, one dead and wounded, but at this time, both ships hung out white flags, At the same time as hoisting the white flag, he quickly lowered all his sails.

If the sail continues to be full, then the surrender of the white flag is meaningless, the shelling will not stop, after seeing the other side's expression, the battery and the shore gun have stopped firing, but this does not mean that it is relaxed, the battery and the shore gun still maintain a state of firing at any time, and one by one the ships of two hundred and three hundred materials began to launch and sail towards the two Galen ships.

The ships in front are full of firewood and grass, and the firewood and grass are also poured with grease, this is the arsonist ship, as long as the enemy ship has any abnormal movement, the arsonist ship will lean over and burn the ship completely, plus the cooperation of the shore guns, these two Galen ships are almost certain to die, and the ships behind are full of family members and sailors, the family members are wearing light armor, holding halberd and swords, and the fire guns and archers are in the rear.

When the arsonist and the two Galen ships were tied up next to each other, the situation was much calmer again, and the ships full of family members and sailors began to come up.

"Everyone on board lays down their weapons, disembarks and surrenders along the rope nets, and if there is any abnormal movement, burn the ship immediately!" Someone below shouted at the top of his voice, originally worried that this foreigner ghost would not understand, but the sailors dispelled this concern, saying that there is no need to worry, as long as there are Han people on the ghost merchant ship running here, at least there will be someone who understands Chinese, one is to be a guide and interpreter, and the other is to sail thousands of miles, there are too many dead people on board, and it must be supplemented by locals.

Sure enough, not long after this shouting, I heard an answer with a Fujian accent: "Don't worry, please keep your hands, the little ones will go down and surrender!" ”

There is nothing strange about the Fujian accent, this big gang on the sea, whether born in Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong or even Nanyang, there will be Fujian people involved, not long after, I saw the rope net thrown down from the side of the ship, a person climbed down, there are three kinds of people on the boat, the most foreigners with high noses and deep eyes, followed by the natives of Nanyang, and then the Ming sailors, some people are wounded, some people are full of wolf faces, but they are all full of relieved expressions, such shelling, it is really too devastating.

A tall foreigner, dressed a little more decently, with a strange wide-brimmed hat, but blonde hair and blue eyes, but the red beard on the chin was dirty, as soon as he stood on the ship, he shouted and spoke, and the Han sailors on the same ship could understand a few words, and said with a smile: "This captain said that there must be their generals here, so what do you ask for, anyway, it means that the two countries will not kill each other!" ”

Lian Zheng on the ship spat at the mouth, took the Pu knife to the foreigner, slammed the foreigner in the stomach with the handle of the knife, and climbed directly on the deck, "Don't cut it yet, I'm waiting to cut you!" After saying this, Lian Zheng signaled the Han sailors to translate to everyone on board, and the sailors immediately looked like earth and trembled.

The situation of the other ship was no different, except that the captain and first mate of that ship had been killed in the shelling, and the second mate was also injured, and the whole ship did not resist at all, not even verbally, and obediently obeyed the arrangement.

There were more ships on the sea in the port, not that the merchant ships wanted to take the opportunity to leave the port, but that the port's own ships began to salvage the corpses and those prisoners who did not die, and there were also a few merchant ships that sailed, but this was asked by Zhao Ziying to tow the two foreign ships back.

Shi Manqiang and Ye Wenwen have already rushed here, more than a dozen companies of family members and regimental training are on standby behind them, the sky is already dark, and there is still the sunset in the sky in the distance, looking at the tragic scene on the sea through this light, Shi Manqiang was speechless for a while, and finally sighed: "In such a battle, martial arts and martial arts are not needed!" ”

"In the brigade, 11 of the 18 batteries were damaged, 78 people were killed, 123 people were wounded, and 12 artillery pieces were destroyed." Behind him, the family had already counted the battle damage, Shi Manqiang nodded sullenly, and said, "Restrain it well, treat it well." ”

Ye Wenwen hesitated, and said on the side: "Please ask the shipowners and left-behind merchants at the wharf to go to the guild hall, and let them arrange for someone to come to the wharf to inspect the goods of their ships, and say that we will compensate according to the price." ”

The family over there agreed to leave, and Ye Wenwen said to Shi Manqiang: "Fourth master, this naval battle is strange, those people at sea have seen more than us, we have to brainstorm, otherwise there is nothing to explain on the master's side." ”

Shi Manqiang nodded sullenly, and then another family member came over to report and said: "Lu Zheng, now a total of one hundred and ninety-two foreigners have been picked up and captured, and the remaining eighty-three people, the company is still searching along the coast, and will not let go of the fish that slipped through the net, Lu Zheng, what to do with these prisoners?" ”

"What else can be done? Kill them all"

"Hold them up first, call the internal guards to come and interrogate, and use the death penalty to avenge personal revenge, that's a violation of military law, that's a big crime, don't mess around!" Ye Wenwen stopped Shi Manqiang's words, and then glared at the reporter fiercely.

The family Ding was a little embarrassed, and left after saluting, the death and injury of the fort made many people anxious, and they wanted to cut the captured prisoners with a thousand knives, this request was actually to ask for life to kill, Shi Manqiang was also angry and was about to agree, but was stopped by Ye Wenwen.

"Fourth master, Jin Ye thinks that foreigners are of great use, let's just let Xuzhou deal with it, and this matter is not clear, how can I torture something out." Ye Wenwen said earnestly.

Shi Manqiang scolded in a low voice, "These bunnies", then nodded and said: "You go and settle the shipowners first, I'll keep an eye on it here, and I'll go over when the torture comes out, these people are not long-sighted, they have the intention of destroying our sea power, so bold!" ”

Speaking of this, Ye Wenwen would not continue to insist on it, just nodded, and walked on the dock and went back to the Yunshan Hall in the dock, which was the industry of Yunshan Xing in the port, and at this time, there were already many sailors of merchant ships running over, but who still had the heart to see what their own losses were, they were all staring at the scene on the sea, a Galen ship that had sunk most of the time, and a one that was sinking while on fire, and the few cannons on the dock that were shining under the lights were enough to catch people's attention.

Although Geng Mancang is in charge of the trade in Huai'an North District, he mainly focuses on Caoyun and Caoliang, Haizhou Port is still in charge of Ye Shu, he walked towards the guild hall, and at the same time ordered that people send wine and food to the guild hall, and do not restrain those men and sailors who report the news, but everyone who should come must come, including the Zheng family and the Yu family who stayed here, everyone can only go back and forth between the guild hall and the dock, and cannot go to other places, they must keep an eye on it, and they can arrest people if necessary.

"Have you heard that there are four gunboats coming from Fangui, adding up to more than 100 cannons, but they didn't take advantage of it, they sank two, and two more landed, this Haizhou Port is so sharp!"

"This is really amazing, and listening to the guys, there has never been a fire boat, just shelling, you think about it, the ghosts are afraid of this fire ship in our Daming port, there is no fire ship to surround it, what are they afraid of?"

"Speaking of which, this Haizhou Port is like Macau, and the forts over there are also sharp, and several times the big ships with ghosts want to come over to rob, but they are all bombed back!"

Everyone was spitting and talking about what they had seen and heard, everyone was elated, and some people recalled the past.

"When it was said that it was Grandpa Jiajing, the plywood boat of the Franco machine wanted to go to Guangzhou to make trouble, but it was rushed up by the official army and killed!"

However, the topic quickly changed, some people who had been to Xuzhou began to talk about the rules of the salt market and the bazaar, and some people said that the practice of Qingjiang City was common, and everyone couldn't help but lower their voices, so that the internal guards in charge of monitoring and monitoring could only come over frequently to pour tea and water.

What can be heard is not a conspiracy rumor, but everyone asks if they can buy a property in Haizhou Port, lease shops, everyone says that it is easy to buy and ship goods here, the port has nothing to do with the government and is cautious and disciplined, and there are important facilities such as shipyards, the most important point is that this Haizhou Port can protect everything, then the Li family and the Zheng family gang must act in accordance with the rules of recognizing the flag, and the plywood gunboats of those people are helpless, such a place, doing business or berthing and supply, are the best choice.

The supply here in the hall is not bad, they are here to chat, tea and dried fruits are always available, and there are noodles and wontons and the like, some people want to drink some wine, as long as they take out the money, they can be sent soon, everyone is excited to talk, and there is food and drink supply, but I don't think the time has passed very long, but when Shi Manqiang came over with people, the night was already deep, and many people fell asleep on the table, snoring, only a few people were holding on.

As soon as he saw Shi Manqiang coming in, without waiting for the family members to report, the few who were holding on hurriedly woke up their companions, and the shipmasters in the living room of the hall stood up one by one, squeezing out a smile with sleepy eyes to greet them.

Shi Manqiang responded with a smile, although he was clumsy in words, but many things were very clear, Zhao Ziying was disrespectful in Nanzhili and Shandong, and any of your officials and gentry had to bow their heads, but this is not the case in Haizhou Port.
