"Oh, by the way, from today onwards, my Dongning County will send officials to serve as the township head of the major fan societies, and the township chief will be responsible for collecting the taxes that should be paid by the major fan communities." Liu Quan looked at several old people and drank heavily.

After listening to the words of the interpreter accompanying the army, the faces of several indigenous elders changed, and the township chief was no stranger to them.

It was the Spanish who had been used to administer the positions that had been created by the natives of their tribes.

I thought that after these Spaniards fled, the tribe would be freed, but I didn't expect these Ming people to come again.

Several people looked at the leader Wiz and stopped nodding or talking.

Wiz was eating unhurriedly and drinking, his thin old hands clutching the clay bowl.

"I'll say yes!" Wiz wiped the corners of his mouth and spoke.

Seeing that the elders of the Big-bellied Fan Society gradually cooperated, Liu Quan laughed loudly and put down the pottery bowl in his hand.

In the past two days, the Ming army has not left his hand, and he is worried about these deceptions, and now seeing that the elders of the Fan Society are so cooperative, Liu Quan is also relieved.

"Finally, we are going to establish a Zhefan Mansion in the major fan societies, and every third household must send a strong man to join, led by the commander of the Ming army, and conduct drills in the territory of Fan."

"He is a farmer on weekdays, a soldier in wartime, and he is at the mercy of the Ming court."

"If you are willing to join the Iban Prefecture as a soldier, the household will be exempted from the grain tax for one season."

This directive is naturally the basic policy of the Ming court to go deep into Luzon, use Fan as a soldier, and raise Ming with Fan.

It can be said that it is the top priority of the Luzon Ming court in Luzon policy.

It is also up to the few indigenous elders who are not present to agree or not, and Liu Quan has to implement it.

Surprisingly, this time, several old people accepted it quite calmly.

Soon, the investigation of the Big Belly Fan Society came to an end.

Liu Quan left 30 people here to set up the Zhefan Mansion, and then the army divided into two routes, one to escort Xia Liang back to the county government, and the other to other societies.

Just when Dongning County was in full swing to develop the Fan Society.

In the Qiongzhou Strait, a naval division full of Qing officers and soldiers was coming in the direction of Qiongshan.

These Qing troops were none other than the Leizhou Zuo Battalion on the other side of Qiongzhou.

In fact, as early as half a month ago, Leizhou Zuoying had learned that Qiong Island on the opposite side had encountered pirates.

The Leizhou Zuoying also sent several warships to inspect the nearby waters, but they found no signs of pirates, so they couldn't do it.

But the more it happened, the generals of the left battalion in Leizhou felt more and more that something was wrong.

Because the Qiongzhou sailors who were supposed to patrol the island together in the middle of the month disappeared.

Instead, he ran into a few ships that fled to Leizhou.

Only then did I learn that Qiong Island had been occupied by the pirates.

The Leizhou Zuo Battalion, who got the news, reported to Zheng Jinjiong, the general soldier of Gao Lianlei.

Zheng Jinjiong was shocked when he learned about it, and hurriedly reported to the governor of Liangguang.

This is what made the Guangdong area shake.

Because of the seriousness of the situation and the fact that there has been no news from Qiongdao, the governor of Liangguang ordered the left battalion of Leizhou to set off immediately and go to Qiongdao to investigate.

After receiving the order of the governor of Liangguang, the left battalion of Leizhou did not slack off, and hurriedly gathered sailors to set off on a warship.

To say that at this time, there was no water master in Liangguang.

To be exact, there is no such thing as a sailor.

The Admiral of the Liangguang Water Division was deposed by Kangxi as early as the early years of Kangxi.

This is not a good thing for coastal defense in the area from Liangguang to Qiongzhou.

At least for the current Liangguang, they can only send a Leizhou Zuoying Water Division to investigate.

"My lord, I found a fleet of ships ahead, what seems to be the ships of the Red Barbarians." Suddenly, the shouts of a sailor were heard from the deck.

After hearing the sailor's warning, a sailor hurriedly stepped forward to check.

I saw that on the sea in the distance, several majestic giant ships were rushing towards this side unhurriedly.

"Looking at the ship, it looks like a warship of the Franc man." The one frowned when he saw it.

In Qionghai

On this realm, it is not uncommon to see Westerners' warships.

After all, Macau is just around the corner.

Both the warships of the Franc Machine and the merchant ships of the East India Company often crossed the sea.

"Since it's the red-haired ghost's warship, let them pass."

"The most important thing for us now is to land on Qiong Island immediately and investigate the situation." The general ignored the red-haired ship in front of him, and only told the sailors on deck to be on guard.

But before the captain could return to the cabin, he heard a thunderous sound from the sea in the distance.

When he heard the sound of the cannon, he put the hair on his body upside down.

"Not good!" Before he could scream.

Columns of earth-shattering water swept in the waves.

Not far away, huge tiger warships were lined up, bombarding several ships in the vanguard of the Qing army.

Puffs of white smoke rose from the sea.

The huge backseat caused the Tiger Iron Cannon to be pushed backwards, and was hurriedly pushed to the gun position by the Ming army.

One by one, 10 pounds and 12 pounds of heavy lead bullets were smashed towards the main ship of the Qing army's naval division.

At this moment, the sailors and officers on the deck were stunned.

I've seen red-haired ghost warships in the past, but they haven't been bombarded like today.

"My lord, it doesn't seem to be a red-haired ghost's warship?" A Qing sailor suddenly shouted.

At this time, the general of the Qing army realized that although the warships in front of him looked like the warships of the red-haired ghosts, the flags they hung were not the ones of the red-haired ghosts.

At this moment, a chain bomb whizzed by, tearing a large hole in the white sail of the mainmast.

"My lord, the sailman's rope is broken." A Qing officer and soldier was quick and quickly pushed away the general on the side.

I saw a black shadow moving at high speed flash.

It turned out that the rope that was hanging the sail suddenly collapsed, and the broken rope directly split a Qing sailor who had no time to dodge into the sea.

The Qing army's sailors were not being beaten.

Soon, another Qing army ship turned around and aimed the four bronze cannons on the right deck at the Ming warship.

"Bang bang bang!" With the burst of fire in the water curtain.

Lead bullets were smashed in the direction of the Ming army.

Unfortunately, the distance was really far, and all four shells fell into the sea.

The sailors and officers of the Leizhou Left Battalion were really unlucky.

happened to meet the most well-equipped Fuyang Town Naval Division of the Ming Army.

The Tiger ships under his command were all new treasure ships modeled after the Spanish battleships.

Where can the Qing army be compared to these old-fashioned rushing boats.

In addition, the Ming army's sailors opened fire suddenly, and the Qing army's sailors, who had been absent from the battle formation for a long time, were not prepared.

Therefore, just a photo, the Qing army's sailors were pressed to the sea by the Ming army's sailors. br>

A 10-pounder tiger cannon and a 12-pounder red-coated cannon were a burst of bombardment against the Qing army's big ships.

Soon, the hull of the Qing army began to tilt.

Smoke billowed from the cabin, and it seemed that the Ming army's ten-pound bomb had grazed the powder keg in the cabin, causing it to burn.

From time to time, Qing officers and soldiers jumped from the deck and the gun windows of the cabin and fell into the sea.

Several sentinel ships on the side desperately approached the main ship, trying to save the officers and soldiers in the water.

After all, in addition to more than 20 sailors, the ship also carried 60 sailors and sailors.

The artillery on the warship of the Ming Army was like a shark smelling blood, and they were aimed at it one after another.

Ten pounds of lead bullets and chain bullets were smashed into these small sentry boats.

How can these small warships withstand the thunderous blow of ten pounds of lead bullet?

Some unlucky sentry ships were directly hit by lead bullets, and the hull of the ship instantly collapsed, and disappeared into the vast sea along with the sailors on board.
