When night fell, the battle was completely over, and the Praetorian Guards, who had experienced a day's battle, even if they were physically strong, sat tired on the beach one by one and did not want to move.

Bonfires were lit, and women were busy cooking around them. At the end of the battle, the young and strong women of the main village of Bengang participated in the battle, and followed the pursuit of the red-haired ghost and his servant army until they reached the seaside.

Everyone was tired, but they were in a good mood. After several days of hard fighting, the people of Bon Hong Kong paid a lot of casualties and sacrifices, but they finally won.

The most important thing is that after this battle, the red-haired ghost will definitely be frightened, and he will definitely not attack Bon Harbor easily in the future! Perhaps, that young General Li will take the big guy to the south and completely drive the red-haired ghost out of the Daming Sea.

The people of Ben Hong Kong were talking, and when they said this, everyone showed an excited look on their faces, if they could drive away the red-haired ghosts, the entire island of Taiwan would belong to everyone, and then they would open up the wasteland as much as they wanted, and they would farm the land as much as they wanted!

As they talked, many people couldn't help but look into the distance, at the general soldier who rescued them.

At this moment, Li Yanzhi is also excited.

In less than two years since he was admitted to the Wujin Warrior examination, Li Yanzhi has consciously experienced a lot and fought a lot of battles, but whether it is to suppress King Fu's "rebellion" or to quell the civil unrest in northern Shaanxi, he is just an ordinary general with troops, and he has always acted according to orders.

And now, it is the independent command of a battle that has achieved a brilliant victory!

Perhaps in the eyes of many court officials, it was just a battle with the Xiyi people, and it was nothing. After all, the Ming Dynasty thinks that the Heavenly Empire is the upper kingdom, whether it is to Xiyi or Dongyi, it is contempt from the heart.

Li Yanzhi also had this kind of psychology at first, but after taking a deeper view, he realized how powerful these Xiyi red-haired ghosts were. At least with the same strength and the same number of warships, the Daming Navy is far from being an opponent!

The total strength of the red-haired ghosts in the army is only more than 1,000, even if the indigenous servant army is added, there are less than 3,000 soldiers, and the number of all plywood boats is only six, but with such strength, the Daming Navy Division has no choice but to let them occupy the island of Taiwan at their doorstep!

Perhaps in the eyes of many court officials, Taiwan is just a place to turn into a foreign country, but Li Yanzhi no longer thinks so. The red-haired ghost who occupies the southern part of Taiwan has become a great threat to the Ming maritime merchants, and it is also the biggest enemy of the Royal Maritime Trade Company in the future.

Whether it was a stratagem or a sneak attack, after all, he won the powerful red-haired ghost, captured nearly 500 red-haired ghosts, captured more than 900 indigenous servants, and he only led 800 Praetorian Guard soldiers, and there were only about a dozen casualties, which made Li Yanzhi not proud!

Now he really wants to run in front of Cao Bianjiao's bastard and show off!

Well, when I return to Fuzhou, I will write a letter to Cao Bianjiao and ask him to see Lao Tzu's great achievements! Li Yanzhi said secretly.

"Marshal, those captives?" Zheng Zhibao asked again, interrupting Li Yanzhi's conjecture.

"Oh, you said that the prisoners," Li Yan thought for a while, "the people of Bon Harbor have contributed a lot in this battle, and many people have died. In this way, those native servants will stay in Bon Harbor and give them to the people as slaves according to this battle merit, what do you think, Brother Zheng? ”

"That's good." Zheng Zhibao said happily, "Many people have opened up a lot of fields, and they are worried that no one will work, these monkeys dare not work well, Lao Tzu will kill them!" By the way, what about those red-haired ghosts, what are you going to do with it? ”

Li Yan thought for a while: "Didn't Humphrey call to be willing to pay the ransom?" Let go of a district to deliver the letter, and let them take the silver to Fuzhou to ransom people. An ordinary red-haired ghost is one thousand taels of silver, and the little leader is two thousand taels, isn't Humphrey a major, a ransom of ten thousand taels, and there seems to be some lieutenant colonel, twenty thousand taels! The governor of the red-haired ghost seems to be alive, and the governor has the largest official position, and he doesn't have 100,000 taels of silver to redeem people! ”

Zheng Zhibao grew his mouth: "Dashuai, is this some lion opening his mouth?" The red-haired ghost doesn't seem to have much silver. ”

According to Zheng Zhibao's understanding, the red-haired ghosts of the big people belong to an East India Company, and most of the money earned by the red-haired ghosts from trading must be handed over to the company, and ordinary red-haired ghosts can't fall too much. An ordinary red-haired ghost, who has worked the ship for a year, can get three or two hundred taels of silver at most.

One thousand taels of silver, I'm afraid most of the red-haired ghosts can't take it out, unless the red-haired ghost East India Company is willing to pay for ransom.

Li Yanzhi smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't have money to ransom people, just stay here and work for Lao Tzu, and if you work for five or ten years, you can regain your freedom." ”

Zheng Zhibao nodded clearly, and finally understood what Li Yanzhi meant, he didn't plan to let those red-haired ghosts go at all. Think about it, these red-haired ghosts have come to Daming from thousands of miles away, and they are all good players on the ship. Moreover, the three red-haired ghost plywood boats are different from the Ming ships, and I am afraid that these red-haired ghosts will need to do it.

Thinking of the three plywood boats, Zheng Zhibao's heart tightened, could it be that Mr. Li wanted to take all three ships away? No, we have to leave one!

As an old bird who has been at sea for many years, Zheng Zhibao naturally knows how powerful the red-haired ghost splint boat is, and the Daming sea boat is far from being able to compare with it!

Not to mention anything else, the twenty or thirty Hongyi cannons loaded on each plywood ship are an incomparably huge fortune!

"Dashuai, can you, can you ......" Zheng Zhibao said in a hesitant voice, a little embarrassed. Although the three plywood boats were captured by him personally, without Li Yanzhi defeating the red-haired ghost, it was impossible to capture these three ships! What's more, it was Li Yanzhi who came with troops and rescued tens of thousands of people in Bengang, without Li Yanzhi, maybe he would have become a slave of the red-haired ghost at this time.

"What's the matter, Brother Zheng also has a crush on these three plywood boats?" Li Yan saw through Zheng Zhibao's mind and asked with a smile.

"Yes, Dashuai, can you leave one for your subordinates, your subordinates just want one." Zheng Zhibao licked his face and said.

"No way!" Li Yanzhi flatly refused.

"Handsome?" Zheng Zhibao was a little anxious, and when he wanted to say more, he was interrupted by Li Yanzhi.

"Brother Zheng, let me ask you what you want this plywood boat for? Do you want to rely on it to stand on your own feet in Taiwan? Li Yan asked directly.

Zheng Zhibao was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "How can it, don't talk nonsense, Dashuai, we have accepted the imperial court's recruitment, I, I just want to leave a plywood ship in Ben Harbor, at least I won't be afraid of the red-haired ghost in the future." ”

Li Yanzhi shook his head: "Brother Zheng, don't think I'm talking ugly, such a heavy military weapon like a plywood can't be owned by a private person at all, otherwise he will have the heart of rebellion!" You'd better dismiss that thought. ”

Zheng Zhibao's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

If before, he dared to do anything for the sake of three plywood ships, but now, after seeing the powerful combat power of the Praetorian Guard, he would not dare to kill him.

Li Yan glanced at Zheng Zhibao and ignored him anymore.

Three plywood boats, no matter what, can't be given to others, let alone Zheng Zhibao, even if Zheng Zhilong comes!

With these three plywood boats, and then recruit dozens of big fortune ships, in less than a year, you will be able to train an elite sailor, and then you will be able to control the entire Daming coast!
