Chapter 796: Heavy Bleeding
Li Gui's caution is justified. Although the Nanyang Naval Division was a big victory this time, looking at Li Jinglong's face, it was obvious that he had reached the brink of an imminent outbreak.
Cao Guogong Li Jianai is a close relative of Lao Zhuji, and Li Jinglong's father Li Wenzhong is one of the famous generals at the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Lao Zhu is a person who values his relatives very much, Li Wenzhong was born and died for the Ming Dynasty, and Lao Zhu naturally did not hesitate to reward him, giving the Li family a big family business in the Cao Guo Mansion.
In addition, although Li Jinglong has always been gentle, he has traveled extensively, and he has been involved in the affairs of Daming Qianzhuang, because of his management, the family business of Cao Guogong's mansion is like cooking oil, and it is prosperous. Among the martial arts, it can also be called one of the richest among the rich.
However, this time, the family assets of the Cao Guogong Mansion were about to be dispersed overnight, and they were poor and white.
Gain, this Danjiang Port, is where the Li family has high hopes. Li Wenzhong is a hero, and the only regret is that Li Jinglong, the only son, is only a silver-like pewter spearhead in military affairs, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on a big responsibility, and there is no way to inherit his prestige and expand his territory overseas. He himself used to risk arrows and rocks in the past, and he already had many old injuries on his body, and at this time he was stationed in the southwest with Mu Ying, and was stumped by a large group of toasts.
Therefore, after learning that Zhu Su gave Li Jinglong this way to make a name for himself on the sea, Li Wenzhong was overjoyed, thinking that he had found a clear way for his old Li family to build a state overseas, so whenever Li Jinglong had what he needed, Li Wenzhong did not refuse, and almost invested half of the assets of the Cao Guogong Mansion in this Danjiang port.
As for the other half of the assets...... It's almost costly. You must know that the treasure ship used by Li Jinglong was temporarily requisitioned by Zhu Su from the Longjiang Shipyard, because there was no establishment for the time being, and the artillery and ammunition were not allocated by the imperial court, but needed to be paid for by himself.
The treasure ship under Li Jinglong's seat is powerful...... Although the results were fruitful under the artillery fire, the family background of the old Li family also continued to pour into the sea with those rotten artillery fire......
"Money, my money......" Li Jinglong felt that the tip of his heart was twitching, and he thought that the army was everywhere, and it would definitely succeed. Who knew that this group of bitches actually played the game of striking the west. A lot of shells were used, but the port of Tamkang was still burned......
His old Li family has lost all his money...... What's the point of winning this battle?
"These damn thieves ......" Li Jinglong's teeth were about to grind.
Li Gui looked at Li Jinglong's appearance, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, Li Jinglong caught a glimpse, and said angrily: "What are you doing with such a coy attitude?" Still not going to help put out the fire? ”
"This fire burns for a while longer, and it consumes all the silver money of my Cao Guo Mansion! Damn the red-haired bandits, the master can't wait to break them into pieces......"
Li Jiujiang, the first son of Jinling, who has always spent a lot of money, is the first time he has gritted his teeth for money when he has grown so big.
"Little grandfather...... The old slave has a word, maybe he can recover some losses for the Guogong Mansion......" Li Gui said hesitantly.
"What?" Li Jinglong's spirits perked up, "Then don't you say it quickly?" ”
"Those red-haired bandits dare to attack my Great Ming Water Master, they have already committed my Great Tomorrow threat...... Why don't we continue the pursuit and plunder the assets of those red-haired bandits on their ships for our own use? Li Gui said.
Li Jinglong was still listening to his ears, but when he heard this, he was immediately deflated again. "What do I think you have...... Didn't you think of it? ”
"Those red-haired wrecked ships...... Even if they are given to me, I don't want them, they are all small, broken, and dirty...... The broken copper and iron transported from the Yi Kingdom in the west were given to the of Ying Tianfu, and no one wanted them. A whole ship is not enough for us to pay for a shell......"
The shipbuilding technology of the Ming Dynasty has been innovated, and the ships of the Ming Dynasty at this time are indeed different from these Western Yi. It's no wonder that Li Jinglong doesn't look down on those piles of broken wood in Xiyi.
"Little grandfather, although their ship is rotten...... But they also have good things on board! "Li Guidao." Have you forgotten that among those Britons, there are people who have just returned from Fengmingzhou......"
"Huh?" Li Jinglong's eyes widened suddenly.
In the past, he used to manage Daming Qianzhuang, and Li Jinglong knew how lucrative the income of Fengmingzhou Gold Mine was. That's a trip back and forth, and it's enough to reach the gold of the Ming Dynasty for half a year. Didn't the Britons go to great lengths to get the trade survey just to go to Fengmingzhou to pan for gold?
It is said that the port of Hangzhou blocked these people and the ships were in a hurry, and only blocked the outpost where they were the first to open the way. The gold ship behind the main owner happened to become a fish that slipped through the net at sea...... If you can grab these gold ships, at least you can make up for the deficit in Tamjiang Port, right?
"You bastard...... Mo is not the reincarnation of Wolong? Li Jinglong, who was overjoyed, praised Li Guilai.
"Where does the old slave dare to be a ......" Li Gui scratched his head embarrassedly, looking honest and honest. Li Jinglong knew that this guy was a talent who had joined the bandit gang when his father had suppressed bandits in the past...... Although after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he became a housekeeper and was loyal to his family. But judging from the fact that the first thing he thought of when he lacked money was to grab it, maybe this guy still has a bandit in his roots.
But this kind of banditry...... He likes it, and he likes it tightly. How to make money and not earn? It was Hongmaoyi who came to pick up his Li Jiujiang's tiger whiskers first, and didn't he Li Jiujiang be allowed to ask for some interest?
After staying at sea with these sailors and rough men for a long time, the dignified first son of Jinling was also infected with a touch of banditry.
There were already people in the Nanyang Fleet who were responsible for driving out the scattered Xiyi ships, and Li Jinglong was in a hurry to go ashore to put out the fire, but at this moment, he was even more concerned about not letting these Hongmaoyi gold ships escape.
The Nanyang fleet was launched again, and this time, the clever Li Jinglong left behind several warships and cannons to defend the dilapidated Danjiang Port and clean up the battlefield at sea. He drove the fleet and pursued the fleeing Xiyi fleet again.
……
It's so far away from Europe, where are these people going all the way to go? They went to the former location of the Big Belly Kingdom, and the harbor under construction that they were going to use to lure the Ming fleet.
In the battle of Danjiang Port, the Daming treasure ship was destroyed, although they were surprised, but in fact, it was not the state of annihilation. Guy Li Jinglong crashed into their formation first, although he was powerful, but after all, it was just the firepower of a treasure ship.
Li Jinglong took the lead, but he was so tired that the Ming warships that followed behind did not dare to open fire at will, and poured firepower so as not to hurt the flagship.
