Chapter 196: Catch It All (5th Subscription)
Xu Xinsu's words made everyone present excited. The interests of sea trade are too great, no one can monopolize them, but if such a company is established, there is no problem in controlling most of the sea trade share, and the benefits obtained by each commercial bank will be much greater than before!
So, everyone had a heated discussion.
Suddenly, heavy footsteps sounded, and a soldier rushed in.
"In general, there are many big ships rushing towards Xiamen Island." The soldier reported.
Xu Xinsu's face sank: "What are you panicking about?" See who is coming from? ”
"I can see clearly, it is the flag of the official army." The soldier said.
"Haha, officers and soldiers, what's the fuss." Someone laughed.
"But there are three of the red-haired plywood." The soldier said.
Xu Xinsu's face changed: "You guys sit down for a while, and I'll go out and have a look." ”
As the commander of the garrison of Xiamen Island, there was an official fleet but he didn't know about it, which made Xu Xinsu feel a little strange and a little uneasy in his heart. Moreover, when did the officials and troops in Fujian have plywood boats, why haven't they heard of it?
He hurried to the seashore, looked out to sea, and saw hundreds of large ships heading towards the bay, and in front of the fleet, sure enough, there were three huge ships, which were the red-haired ghost plywood boats!
Xu Xinsu looked carefully at the flag on the mast, and saw that the color was indeed the official and military flag, and when he looked at the words on the flag, Xu Xinsu's expression changed greatly. I saw a huge flag fluttering on the highest mast of the plywood ship, and there were a few words vaguely, "Fujian General Soldier Li"!
It turned out to be Li Yan who killed him directly! Xu Xinsu shouted in his heart, how could Li Yanzhi beat the red-haired ghost, how could he win the red-haired ghost plywood boat?
Oh my God, what the hell is going on?
"What should I do?"
The fleet was getting closer and closer, and it had already sailed into the bay, and many people noticed that something was wrong, and some henchmen shouted in panic.
What to do? What else can I do? Looking at the dozen or so warships moored in the bay, Xu Xinsu smiled bitterly, just the sum of these dozen warships is not enough for a plywood boat. The place is an island, and all the ships are blocked in the bay, so there is nowhere to escape.
"Boom Boom"
A roar sounded, dozens of shells shot out from three plywood boats, fired at the ships in the bay, and one Haicang boat was hit by the shells, the hull tilted, and slowly sank into the sea, and the soldiers on board jumped into the sea one after another.
Representatives of the major trading houses all ran out, all looking at the fleet in the sea with pale faces.
"Open fire and sink all the ships in the bay!" Li Yan commanded in a deep voice.
"God, General Li, are you crazy, that's your country's warship, not a pirate!" Humphrey was surprised and said that this guy had completely surrendered to Daming, and was appointed by Li Yanzhi as the deputy captain to assist him.
"This time, I'm going to go on a killing spree, and let all the people who are plotting against me behind my back see, what is a tiger's ass that can't be touched!" Li Yanzhi said coldly.
The Janissaries gunners were busy, clumsy under the guidance of the Dutch captives, maneuvering the Hongyi cannons, firing shells at the galleons in the bay. However, the skills of these people are rough, the hit rate is really pitiful, and it is not uncommon for dozens of shells to miss once.
However, there were as many as eighty Hongyi cannons on the three plywood ships, and they opened fire in turn, and after half an hour, they still sank all the ships in the bay.
The Xiamen soldiers on the ship had already rowed to the shore and looked at the huge fleet in the bay with dull eyes.
At this moment, more than 1,000 defenders, more than 10,000 people on Xiamen Island, plus Xu Xinsu and a group of chamber of commerce representatives, everyone saw how crazy the Fujian General Army was!
"Crazy, just crazy!" Huang Wei muttered, his face extremely pale.
When Li Yanzhi commanded the army to land ashore, no one in the more than 1,000 defenders dared to move, and all the soldiers had already laid down their weapons and obediently became prisoners of the Praetorian Guard.
"Xu Xinsu!" Zheng Zhilong walked up to Xu Xinsu and said coldly: "You colluded with the red-haired ghost to attack Bon Hong Kong and kill my brother's subordinates, can you think of today?" ”
"Why did General Zheng say this?" Xu Xinsu's face was pale, but he forced himself to calm down, "General Zheng, although your official position is higher than that of your humble position, you should not attack Xiamen Island without authorization, could it be that you want to rebel?" ”
"Rebellion?" Zheng Zhilong laughed, and slapped Xu Xinsu in the face with a violent palm, knocking Xu Xinsu to the ground at once.
"You bastard, you dare to say that Lao Tzu is rebelling, and you don't pee to take care of yourself!"
"Come on, tie up this guy for me, everyone will be arrested and interrogated one by one!" Zheng Zhilong said angrily.
Ben Harbor was attacked, and many brothers were killed by red-haired ghosts, all of which were instigated by Xu Xinsu, a bastard! Those red-haired ghost captives can be exchanged for a large amount of ransom to compensate the casualties of their brothers, and Li Yanzhi also needs the knowledge of the red-haired ghosts to teach guns and ships to sail, Zheng Zhilong can't get angry with them, so he focuses all his anger on Xu Xinsu.
"In Xia Huangwei, in the thirty-sixth year of Wanli, General Zheng, you led troops to attack Xiamen without authorization, you are too bold!" Huang Wei came out of the crowd and tried to use his identity as a gentry to suppress Zheng Zhilong.
"Huang Wei, the leader of the Quanzhou Merchant Gang, I don't know if I'm wrong?" Li Yanzhi walked over and asked in a deep voice.
"Exactly below, dare to ask you?" Huang Wei said reservedly.
"Fujian General Li Yanzhi, Huang Juren has heard of my name?" Li Yanzhi said lightly.
"It turned out to be General Li Bing, I have heard about it a long time ago," Huang Wei bowed his hand slightly, "But I don't know why General Li led his troops to attack Xiamen, whether there is an order from the imperial court, is there a pirate on this Xiamen Island?" ”
Li Yan said straightly: "Huang Juren is right, there are not only pirates on this Xiamen Island, but also rebellions who collude with the Yi people to kill the people, so this commander led the troops to crusade!" ”
Huang Wei raised his eyebrows: "Oh? I don't know who Mr. Li is referring to? ”
Li Yanzhi pointed his finger at Xu Xinsu, who stood up with his face covered.
"He is."
Then he pointed to the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce in satin brocade robes.
"They're too."
finally pointed to Huang Wei: "You too!" ”
Huang Wei jumped up: "Mr. Li, you don't want to spew blood, I will raise people in a dignified manner, how can you be allowed to slander casually?" Even if you are the commander of a province, you have no right to arrest me! I want to write a letter to the DPRK in the same year to expose your lawless behavior, and I want to write a bullet seal to ask the court to sanction you! ”
Li Yanzhi didn't talk nonsense anymore, and directly threw out a brocade guard waist card:
"So that Huang Juren can know that this general soldier has another identity, Jinyiwei is the envoy of the town, but if he conspires against him, Jinyiwei can directly arrest and interrogate! Huang Wei, not only do I have to arrest you, but I also have to go to Quanzhou, arrest all your accomplices, and raid your home! Not only you, but none of them present can escape! ”
