Chapter 285: Let's Float for the Time Being
Zhao Hengyi had already expected the reaction of the maritime merchants.
How to deal with what kind of situation he encountered, Zhao Hengyi also explained it clearly early.
In the eyes of the Qiongzhou Tuanlian used to blockade the sea, the merchant ships of the Li family and the merchant ships of the Wang family are the same, and they can't tell or plan to tell who these sea ships belong to, they just secretly hope that if it is really as Hou Ye said, they will take the initiative to jump out and make trouble, just to make a baby for other maritime merchants!
The gun shot the first bird, the Li family's fleet dared not to obey the orders of Zhao Hengyi, the general of Jinghai, and the Qiongzhou regiment dared to clean up the Li family's sea boats!
The management of the Li family has forgotten one of the most important things, no matter how deep his family's foundation is and how hard his background is, it will not come in handy until everyone returns to the Great Yan Kingdom together!
And right now, around this Hirado Port, the Qiongzhou regimental training that has mastered absolute force is the one who has the final say!
A gunner of the Azi battalion roughly estimated the firing distance on the deck, and directly put a flying thunder cannon, the original meaning was naturally to deter unruly ships that left without permission, but no one expected that in the past, it was difficult to hit the target on the sea after careful calculation, and by coincidence, it directly hit a cargo ship led by the Li family's fleet!
The gunpowder bag exploded on the deck, and the crew and steward who were standing on the deck of the Li family's cargo ship and pointing at the Qiongzhou regiment training, laughing and insulting, were instantly torn to pieces by various metal fragments in the gunpowder bag!
The flames exploded, black smoke rose up, and the entire deck of the cargo ship was covered in blood, and there was not a single person alive!
A huge black hole was blown open on the deck, and the entire ship was enveloped in a shock wave, and there was not a single living hole!
Countless maritime merchants and crew members who were waiting to see the jokes of the Qiongzhou regiment practice suddenly felt like someone poured a basin of ice water on their heads on dog days, and they were stunned on the spot!
How...... How can you really do it?!!
The rest of the ships of the Li family's fleet, after the crew woke up, lowered the sails and anchored like crazy, hoping that their ships would be nailed to the sea!
The chief steward is taking everyone's lives to gamble on someone's knife!
The point is, he lost the bet!
Unlike in the past, when encountering pirates from the Japanese pirates, when those evil ghosts on the sea plundered merchant ships, they still jumped into the gang to fight, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy early, maybe they could leave a small life, but in the face of the Qiongzhou regimental training, the Laushzi Flying Thunder Cannon went down, and the whole ship died!
The whole ship now has no life except for the crackling sound of the ignited cargo burning...... Even the people in the cabin are dead!
The gunners of the A-word battalion were stunned, when did they shoot so accurately?
Kill a sea ship with one shot, this quasi-head, you can blow it for a lifetime!
The maritime merchants who planned to follow behind the Li family's fleet and leave together under the command of the law immediately broke out in a cold sweat!
Fortunately, I didn't act rashly!
Qiongzhou group training, is really daring to do it!
There are countless thoughts in everyone's hearts, but no matter how they think about it, they are all obedient and obedient now, and they admit it honestly!
The cargo ship that was ignited by gunpowder was constantly burning on the sea, no one dared to save it, everyone watched silently, watching this Li family merchant ship full of goods completely turn into a huge and bright torch on the sea!
All the merchant ships, except for the Tang family's fleet, which remained in Hirado Port and did not withdraw, were all honestly allowed to be inspected by the Qiongzhou regiment, and the people on board, whether they were crew members, stewards, or small servants, had to be interrogated one by one to make sure that there were no spies who had infiltrated the Japanese invaders!
This is not an unbearable thing, after all, the Li family's cargo ship has not sunk yet, and it is still burning slowly, but what makes everyone unbearable is that the Qiongzhou regimental training only sent two people to check on the grounds that the war is not over!
One was cross-examined and checked, and the other was followed by a pen and paper record......
Outside the port of Hirado, there are no less than 100 large and small sea ships gathered, and the soldiers trained by these two Qiongzhou regiments are extremely meticulous, and when the two of them inspect all the ships and personnel, I am afraid it will be a year later!
Everyone was silent, and everyone knew in their hearts that this was General Jinghai punishing those who escaped from the battle.
Can...... We're just merchants, not soldiers!
However, this truth, now no one dares to talk to the soldiers of the Qiongzhou regiment, since it is a punishment, there will always be an end, the big guy can't be trapped on the sea all the time, the matter is really big, you Zhao Hengyi really can't go back to Dayan Kingdom!
However, these maritime merchants underestimated Zhao Hengyi's determination and patience, and for five days in a row, the battlefield outside Hirado Castle had been cleaned, and the farmers who had evaded the coalition army had gone home to continue to divide the fields into households...... It is said that when more than 100 people on the ship were interrogated, there were many statements that did not match, so they could only be screened slowly......
No one believes this kind of nonsense, but no one can disbelieve it!
At this rate, all ship personnel will be screened, and I am afraid that a year will not be enough!
Moreover, the people in Qiongzhou said that to prevent the Japanese dogs from jumping off the wall in a hurry, all the ship personnel must be checked before they can leave at the same time, so even if you look for a relationship to give priority to inspection, it is in vain!
The maritime merchants floating outside the port of Hirado are really going crazy.
What will happen to Zhao Hengyi and Qiongzhou Tuanlian after they return to the Great Yan Kingdom, they don't know, but if they are trapped on the sea all the time, what will happen to them, they know very well!
If the heart of that Marquis of Qiongzhou is ruthless enough, then it is not impossible that all the people on these hundred and ten boats are dying of thirst and starvation!
And is that Hou Ye's heart ruthless enough?
There is news from the shore, the battle of Hirado City, and the Qiongzhou regiment training formation is 15,000!
On the sea, the Bai family's fleet steward had already opened up the chips for half of the cargo on all the ships, and the soldiers trained by the Qiongzhou regiment were still unmoved!
Do we have to give up all our goods to let us go?
Money or death, that's a big question!
However, most of the goods on the sea ships are from major trading houses, and the people on the ships are not qualified to call the shots, once all the goods are really sacrificed, then even if they return to the Great Yan Kingdom alive, under the family law, they will not escape death!
Time passed in a stalemate, but Cho Hyung-yi was busy dealing with the beginning and end of the Battle of Hirado Castle, and he didn't care about the lives of the people stranded on the ships off the port.
In the past few days, there have been ships from other places that have rushed to the port of Hirado, and they have also been trapped on the sea outside the port.
At this time, the situation of the Great Battle of Hirado Castle also spread throughout the Wa Kingdom, and the entire Wa Kingdom was shaken!
