Chapter 1164: Chance Encounter
Boom Boom!
The cannon fired.
One by one, the shells fell on the gathering place of the Japanese bandits, and the guys who were blown up turned on their backs, Jiang Hao did not hesitate to shoot the shells, first ploughed a few times before speaking, and then sent people ashore to clean up the battlefield.
Killing the Japanese invaders, collecting supplies, and rescuing the Ming people captured by the Japanese invaders, the whole operation was completed in one go.
In this way, in five days, Jiang Hao led people to loot four Japanese settlements, killing thousands of people, including more than 200 real Japanese people, and looted gold and silver property worth five or six thousand taels of silver, as well as two boatloads worth no less than six or seven thousand taels.
When I went there were two ships, when I came back it became six ships, and the robbery resulted in four three-masted warships, which were worth thousands of taels if sold.
Take home with a full load!
The boat stopped at the dock and ordered people to unload the goods, and boxes and loads of things were moved down, Yuan De watched countless materials fill the warehouse, and smiled from ear to ear, "It turns out that it is true that the adults said that these warehouses were filled." ”
If you have money, the next step is naturally to divide the money.
Jiang Hao gave the order, according to the previous rules, after calculating the accounts, each hundred households, chiefs, and soldiers got their own share, and the people held the gold and silver they had shared, and they were pleasantly surprised.
When have they seen so much money, this time it is really rich.
At the same time, he was more convinced of Jiang Hao, but he didn't expect that this Jiang Daren was really trustworthy, and he would do whatever he said, which was really admirable.
Jiang Hao summoned a few hundred households over and said, "Our people are still too few, is there a way to gather people as soon as possible, it is best to be someone who is familiar with hands, knows how to operate ships and knows how to fight?" ”
Baihu Xu Quan arched his hand and said: "My lord, you can find it, the imperial court also recruited soldiers and conducted drills before, and many of them were later disbanded for various reasons, these people are in the countryside, as long as the salary is enough, they can be recruited." ”
Veterans who have been trained and even participated in battles, although sometimes they are a little slippery, but the foundation is still there, and a lot of things can be saved.
Jiang Hao swept towards the others, "A few of you, all go out to recruit people for me, the four new ships we grabbed are still empty and must be filled, and there will be more ships in the future, the more people the better, not afraid of spending money." ”
"Yes, sir."
A few guys took the order, Jiang Hao found Yuan De again, and ordered Yuan De to increase the production of cannonballs and gunpowder, how much he could make, and the materials in the warehouse, so that Yuan De could find a way to sell them and exchange them for real money and silver to pull them back.
In this way, after half a month of busyness, the Putuo Guard Station has changed greatly, there were only more than 500 soldiers left, but now not only the quota is filled, but there are also two or three hundred, this part of the people is counted as miscellaneous labor, but it is the same as the treatment of soldiers.
Now there is enough food, full of food, and everyone is full of energy.
A few days later, the materials were loaded onto the ship, and Jiang Hao took people out to sea again, this time to the north, farther away, and directly to the coasts of Hangzhou, Songjiang, and Suzhou.
These places have already been investigated, as soon as they meet, Jiang Hao will greet them with artillery fire, those Japanese robbers never imagined that there would be a Ming army from the sea, without the slightest defense, many of them were killed by surprise, so that they directly became the ghosts under the artillery.
This time it took a longer time to go to sea, it took twelve days, and seven Japanese settlements were exterminated, and the harvest was greater than the first time, and the four cabins were filled with things and supplies, no less than 20,000 taels of gold and silver, and 5 warships, and two of these five warships were five-masted.
Jiang Hao looked at things and said with a smile: "It's worthy of Suzhou and Hangzhou, even if you have money, even pirates are richer than us." ”
A few hundred households accompanied by a giggle.
"You still have a task when you go back, continue to recruit people, and you must always fill the five new ships in hand, we can fight if there are people, and when there are more people, we can rob those bigger gangsters, and those guys are really rich." Jiang Hao said.
"Do as you are told."
A few guys shouted in high spirits.
......
When the boat returned to the port, Yuan De led someone to stand at the dock early to greet him, and greeted Jiang Hao with a smile, "Congratulations on your triumphant return, my lord, this time the harvest is not small, right?" ”
You know, there is half of him Yuan De here, and last time Yuan De got more than 500 taels of silver, and he held the silver for several days.
"This harvest is not bad, almost three times as much as last time." Jiang Hao said casually.
Yuan De was overjoyed, and immediately ordered someone to move things down, and then said to Jiang Hao with a smile: "My lord, Yuan De is here to congratulate you." ”
"Oh, congratulations on what?"
Yuan De took out a document from his sleeve and presented it to Jiang Hao, and said at the same time: "My lord, our money has not been spent in vain, your appointment has come down, from now on, you are the thousand households of the Putuo Guard, in charge of all the affairs of the Guard." ”
This is indeed a joy, Jiang Hao took the paperwork and looked at it, and then smiled and put it in his sleeve, "Yuan De, you did a good job, by the way, your pills are almost finished, right?" ”
"Yes~yes."
Jiang Hao took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Yuan De, "Here is a month's amount, you can keep it and eat it, Yuan De, as long as you really work hard with me, I will not treat you badly, money, your share, as for this poison, I can solve it at any time, and when I can rest assured of you, I can naturally untie it for you." ”
Yuan De suddenly knelt down and said: "My lord, Yuan De is willing to be loyal to the lord and follow him sincerely, in fact, our family has already gotten on the adult's ship, and we can't get off, if we let the court know about these things we do, then our family will also lose their heads." ”
Jiang Hao patted Yuan De's shoulder, "Hehe, let's do things with your heart." ”
In this era, there are too many poor people, lured by full food and high wages, and countless people have joined the Putuo Guard, Jiang Hao now only lists them as boatmen and miscellaneous servants, there is no limit to this thing, you can recruit more if you have money.
It didn't take a month for the newly acquired warships to be filled with people, and now Jiang Hao has 11 ships and more than 2,000 soldiers.
There were more people, more ships, Jiang Hao was more confident, standing in front of the chart and thinking for a long time, with a new plan, two days later, everything was fully prepared, Jiang Hao led the fleet to set off again, this time to the south, ready to attack the Japanese along the coast of Fujian.
The seagulls were flying in the sky, and from time to time they sent back the information they saw, and suddenly in the minds of the seagulls, Jiang Hao saw four ships on the sea, which was not the point, the point was that these ships were galleons, and the flagpole was hung with the Dutch flag.
Jiang Hao knew the history of the Ming Dynasty, and during this time, it was a period when the Dutch national strength was growing by leaps and bounds, and they even had the idea of invading China and putting it into practice, occupying the Penghu Islands and occupying Ryukyu was their action.
But it seems that this period is still early, what are they doing now?
Jiang Hao pondered for a moment and decided to follow and take a look.
Ordering the seagulls to keep tracking and scouting, the fleet was dotted in the distance, and finally in a bay, Jiang Hao saw two more ships coming, and both of them were flying the flag of the Sun and Moon God Cult.
On the deck of a ship, there was a woman in a big red robe, and Jiang Hao immediately recognized that it was Dongfang Undefeated!
Undefeated in the East, in contact with the Dutch, what are you ready to do?
Jiang Hao's mind moved, and seemed to understand her intentions, since the Ming can trade with the Dutch, and the East is undefeated, she is bent on overthrowing the Ming Dynasty and wants to establish her own regime, the Dutch are also ambitious about the Ming Dynasty, and they are willing to see the Ming Dynasty in chaos, and it is logical to trade with the East Undefeated.
Dongfang Undefeated stood at the bow of the ship, negotiated with the Dutch with a thousand miles of transmission, and finally reached a deal, one by one large boxes were moved to the Dutch warship, and finally the Dutch left two galleon warships behind.
When he went back, Dongfang Undefeated ordered people to take off the Dutch flag, replace it with the flag of the Sun and Moon God Cult, and return in high spirits.
Jiang Hao thought about it, ordered someone to follow, and the ship traveled until the evening, when the undefeated fleet in the East stopped at the port of Taizhou, the gathering place, ordered someone to take care of the battleship, and went back to the station directly.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Hao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he called several hundred households and ordered: "Let's rob the Taizhou Ronin Camp gathering place tonight, you guys get ready." ”
"Yes, sir."
