Chapter 1166: Idle and boring to walk around the rivers and lakes

Jiang Hao's fleet was mighty towards the Ryukyus, and at this time his fleet already had 13 warships, including 4 five-masted ships, 7 three-masted warships, and 2 Dutch sail warships that he had just grabbed.

Jiang Hao ordered a group of old sailors to get on board and familiarize themselves with the Dutch warships as soon as possible, so as to enter the battle as soon as possible.

The sea is vast and boundless, the fleet is chopping waves, although there is a fleet of thirteen ships, but it is still only a very small handful in the sea, Jiang Hao stood on the deck, and from time to time seabirds flew down and landed on his hands.

The way to the Ryukyus could not be in vain, just along the way to constantly investigate the situation of the Japanese bandits, the Ming Dynasty invaded the southeast coast of the Japanese invaders did not have a formal base camp, are spontaneously formed strongholds and concentrations.

The places with more strongholds are Shuangyu Island, Zhoushan Islands, Songjiang, Hangzhou and other places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Hengyu, Niutian, Xinghua, Pinghai and other places in Fujian.

The Putuo Guard is in the Zhoushan Islands, and Jiang Hao has already attacked more than a dozen strongholds over there, of course, it is just a seaside stronghold, making full use of the advantages of artillery, as for the strongholds that go deeper inland, Jiang Hao did not care.

While investigating Jiang Hao's mind, he was thinking about the Japanese Kou, who were mainly samurai who lost in the Japanese Civil War, which is what is called the anti-ZF remnants in modern times, and more of them are actually Ming people, to put it bluntly, they are pirates, and it is more of an excuse to say that the Japanese are more of an excuse, if they are arrested by the imperial court, the province will affect their families and clans.

There were several sea thieves in the Ming Dynasty, Lin Daoqian, Wang Zhi, Li Dan, Zheng Zhilong and others, Lin Daoqian had dozens of ships, thousands of pirates, and colluded with the Japanese pirates, often led the crowd to attack coastal towns, raided the Chenghai area of Chaozhou, and extended the scope of raids to Leizhou and Hainan Island, when Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou's main opponent was him.

Lin Daoqian's base was in the North Port of the Ryukyus, and the Ryukyus were officially changed to Taiwan in the Qing Dynasty.

After Li Dan rose, this Li Dan was not the son of Wu Zetian, nor was he the little eye of the talk show, but a generation of sea thieves, who was famous at the time, and even the Japanese, the Dutch, and the Portuguese called him 'Chinese Captain'.

If Li Dan is not familiar, he still has a powerful godson, that is, Zheng Zhilong, after Li Dan's death, Zheng Zhilong took over part of the family before it began to gain momentum, and finally developed into China's largest pirate group, plundering the southeast coast for a long time.

Now the southeast sea is full of a large number of Chinese pirates, Japanese pirates, Dutch pirates, Spanish pirates, and Portuguese pirates, just like hungry wolves, constantly biting the body of the Ming Dynasty, and the leaders of the Ming Dynasty are very insensitive, and they can't feel the pain of the skin, and a sentence of scabies gently floats by.

Scabies, mild skin diseases, the adults in the court felt that pirates didn't matter, they couldn't become a general trend, and they didn't matter and didn't hinder the overall situation, but they never thought about the suffering of the coastal people, as well as the evil impact on the economy of the Ming Dynasty.

More importantly, let others see your weakness, causing the Western powers to think that the Ming Dynasty is a soft persimmon, and even gave birth to the idea of annexing the Ming Dynasty.

This was especially true at the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the wolves looked around, but the Qing Dynasty closed off the country but was still self-righteous, and was hit by the reduction of latitude, which made the land of China pay a heavy price.

If you want to live well, you have to become stronger, otherwise when you are eaten, you will have no power to resist at all, and when the time comes, you will shout justice, it will be useless, even if the people's hearts are fair, but who has the ability to help you.

History is always strikingly similar, and it has not changed even in modern times, Iraq, Kosovo, Libya, Syria... Wait, I believe there will be latecomers!

The world has always been like this, the law of the jungle.

As for the history, Jiang Hao didn't want to study it more, his idea was very simple now, kill the would-be robbers and make money, that's all.

After three days of sailing, Jiang Hao's fleet had been dotted with the two Dutch galleons from a distance, watching them sail into a small bay on Ryukyu Island, and stop at the dock, where the Chinese servants carried boxes of gold and silver off the ship and into a small city by the sea.

Jiang Hao looked at the small city and couldn't help but nodded, "It's really a good place, these Dutch people are very good at choosing places." ”

The bay is a natural harbor, there is no problem in parking thousands of ships, the wharf is a deep-water port, no matter how big a ship can stop, the castle is seven or eight miles away from the shore, beyond the range of cannons, it is safer, and from the edge of this city, it is easy to accommodate 2,000 people, and a large number of supplies can be stored.

The outer miles of vegetation had been cleared, and there were several villages, inhabited by many Chinese, servants of the Dutch.

If you take this place, it will definitely be very good as your own base.

It was a big deal, and the price of the two warships was increased dozens of times, and the Dutch were very happy, and when they came ashore, they began to revel, and the soldiers were allowed to drink, and their two warships were parked in the harbor, and only thirty or fifty people were left on one ship, and even the guards relaxed and began to drink.

Almost all of the people who sailed on the sea were drunkards, and many of them drank too much.

When night falls, people are asleep, dreaming with the waves, but they don't know that in the dark night, several boats are quietly approaching the pier.

"When you get on board, you don't leave a single one." 100 households give orders.

Whoosh,

One by one, the claws were thrown, and the sailors rushed to the Dutch battleship with knives in their hands, and a Dutch soldier on duty noticed that someone had boarded the ship, and shouted loudly to raise the alarm, but was stabbed to death as soon as he shouted.

"Kill~!"

With a few shouts, the guards made a move, rushed into the cabin and slashed at the Dutch, what a red-haired ghost, under the steel knife, still turned into a dead ghost.

It didn't take long for the Dutch on both boats to be slaughtered, their bodies thrown into the sea, and two large boats hijacked and dragged into the sea.

The movement on the beach was very small, and the people in the castle didn't notice it at all, Jiang Hao led people to the castle, and the whole castle was still quiet.

"Whoosh~!"

Jiang Hao lifted up, his body flew more than ten meters high, and then a little on the wall, directly to the city, one turned over and jumped down directly, the doorman had a few guys on duty, all of them were lying crookedly over there to sleep, Jiang Hao solved it directly with one person and one sword, moved away the thick iron door bolt, and made a creaking sound when the door was pushed open.

Several hundred households rushed into the city with people immediately, no one made a sound, Jiang Hao waved his hand, all of them scattered with people, and killed the barracks residence, after about a few minutes, there were bursts of screams in the barracks, and the entire Dutch castle came to life.

"Someone attacked!"

"Pick up our swords and fight back."

"Poof!"

"Shoot, shoot."

"Bang bang bang!"

There was a big chaos in the castle, there were fights everywhere, and the Dutch also had four or five hundred people, and they began to counterattack after discovering the enemy attack, but it was too late at this time, Jiang Hao's order was not to capture the prisoners, and all of them were killed, and he had no sympathy for the invaders and pirates.

There was a lot of chaos in the castle for a while, and finally all the Dutch were cut down, and Jiang Hao didn't see any of the leaders, captains, and first mates, all of them were slaughtered, and they all ended up clean, and the soldiers of the guard began to move the corpses out, and threw the corpses down in a mountain col, but before throwing them down, they all made up for it, and they couldn't pretend to be dead.

Walking into one of the best houses in this castle, which was decorated with exquisite Ming Dynasty furniture, in a room next to it, Jiang Hao saw boxes of gold, yes, it was gold, before Jiang Hao thought that the East was undefeated to give silver, but now he knew that it was gold.

No wonder the Dutch would be willing to sell the battleship to Dongfang Undefeated, because Dongfang Undefeated gave a price that was enough to impress the other party, Jiang Hao lifted one of the boxes and tried the weight, this box is almost 2,000 taels, there are 50 boxes here, damn, this is 100,000 taels of gold.

This time the harvest can be described as huge, 100,000 taels of gold, two Dutch galleon warships, and more importantly, a base.

Jiang Hao summoned a few hundred households to come over, "I decided to use this as a secret base for us, if there is really something in the future, you can bring the family over and settle down here." ”

What they did was a big crime of killing heads and exterminating the clan, and several hundred households knew that Jiang Hao was looking for a way back for everyone, so they immediately agreed, Jiang Hao left the most stable Yan Hui in charge, and left him a galleon and three three-masted ships, which was enough for self-protection.

The fleet sailed back, this time in addition to grabbing 4 warships, there were more than 600 muskets, on the way back, Jiang Hao asked the soldiers to start training the use of muskets, with muskets, the combat power increased by several percent at once.

The ship returned to Putuo Port, and a large number of looted materials were transported to the warehouse, Jiang Hao called Yuan De and instructed: "Yuan De, I am going to go on a long trip, you are watching the affairs at home, I can tell you that I have found a way back, follow me sincerely, and I will definitely protect you in the future." ”

"Everything is at your disposal." Yuan De immediately expressed his position.

Jiang Hao took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Yuan De, "Here is the antidote, one pill can be managed for a month, a total of twelve pills, enough for a year, when I come back, if you do well, I will completely detoxify you." ”

Yuan De was overjoyed to take the antidote, "Don't worry, my lord, things at home will be taken care of." ”

He called a few hundred households and instructed: "I am going to go far away, as short as half a year, as long as a year, you keep an eye on the affairs of the family, and now there are a few things to tell you, the first is to recruit a large number of people, we now have money and food, the more manpower, the better, and if there are more, we will transport them to the base of Ryukyu Island." ”

"Regarding the matter of the Japanese Kou, I have a chart for you, be careful when you go out, don't rush in, grab a handful and leave, don't reveal your identity."

"My harrier eagle will follow me and come back every 10 days, and if something can't be decided, you can report it to me at any time."

Several hundred households immediately responded, and then Shen Yi asked, "My lord, where are you going to go, it will take so long?" ”

"It's very boring, walk around the rivers and lakes."

Jiang Hao did not forget his mission.
