Beginning the next day, the people of Dinghai found that the whole Dinghai had changed greatly. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the streets and city walls, everywhere are soldiers in peculiar red costumes, carrying weapons to patrol everywhere.

Everyone noticed that the skin of these soldiers was as white as a lime wall, and occasionally a few had skin as black as charcoal, in short, it was completely different from the appearance of the people on the Ming side. Some well-informed people say that this is a Taixi from abroad, which is more common in Fujian and Guangdong, and there are also people from Zhejiang who come occasionally, but there are much fewer people.

Many people recognized that the weapons these soldiers were carrying were firearms, which were powerful firearms that could kill people from a hundred steps away. It is worth mentioning that Daming also has firearms, which are powerful but also very heavy, seven or eight feet long, and must be carried by two people to be used.

In contrast, the firearms used by these red-clad soldiers were much lighter, and were closer to the bird guns that the pirates liked to use. Whether it is the Great Ming Fire Gun Qiang or the Fire Gun Qiang of these strange soldiers, some boring people argue, but there is no conclusion.

Guan Yunchang used an eighty-two pound broadsword, and Lu Zhishen used sixty-two pounds, the heavier the weapon used by this general, the more powerful the general, but it is difficult to explain why the defenders of Dinghai Island were defeated so easily.

Li Yingyuan observed that although the quality of the clothes of these soldiers was average, the shoes on their feet were all leather shoes, and the production was also excellent, which showed that these people were rich.

Li Yingyuan secretly counted the big Taixi ships moored in the port, there were as many as fifteen in total, and each ship was loaded with dozens of cannons, which made Ying Yuan gasp, this is three or four hundred artillery.

With these cannons alone, these Tessie soldiers can easily suppress any armed force in the nearby seas. I just don't know where such a powerful armed force came from.

After that, there was no pirate burning and looting everywhere, and there was even some calm, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief. What people fear most is that these strangely dressed soldiers will burn, kill, loot, and even slaughter cities and islands as soon as they come ashore.

The county officials were not all killed by these pirates, but came out to help these people. The people of Dinghai soon saw several officials led by pirates, posted notices everywhere, and shouted gongs and drums on the streets, saying that everyone should not be afraid, the army of the British Empire came to help everyone fight pirates, and would not harm the common people.

After reading the Anmin notice and listening to the explanations of the officials, the people of Dinghai knew that it was the navy sent by England, a distant country overseas, that occupied Dinghai County.

It is said that the king of this country is called Charles I, and this time he sent the navy to Daming to do business and open up trade routes. It's just that after arriving in the waters of Dinghai Island, some people on the island colluded with pirates to attack them without authorization, so they deliberately went ashore to occupy the county seat.

Of course, no one can deceive this kind of reversal of black and white, but no one will be stupid enough to accuse the other party of hypocrisy, as long as the other party does not explicitly say that he wants to kill people and set fires.

The so-called English army also stated on the notice that all this has nothing to do with the people of the island, as long as the people do not act against them in a clearly hostile manner, they will never harm the people, and also encourage the people to open their doors and do business as usual, and not to be afraid.

A few bold families opened shops and reopened, but the army did not harass them, and even expressed their appreciation. After these things, the people of Dinghai Island really felt a little at ease.

Within a few days after the occupation of the county seat, the entire Dinghai Island began to slowly return to calm, doing business and doing coolies, and living as usual.

"This Taixi people are the most unkind thing, when they come to our Daming, they always attack the city and rob it first, and then they will say that they want to do business with the Daming, and they want to buy silk, tea and porcelain. When mourning Hai Dagui, a respected old man cursed in a low voice.

"This kind of thing has happened before? Xiucaigong, you can tell everyone about it later. Immediately, someone urged Lao Xiucai to speak more clearly.

"Why not, it was not so long ago. Lao Xiucai really knew more than these bald people: "More than 100 years ago in Guangdong, there were so-called Portuguese who burned, killed and looted, and they also occupied territory, and finally occupied Macao;

Just more than ten years ago, the so-called Dutch sent troops to build a city in Penghu, plundered the coast, and finally appeased them to settle down on Dayuan Island;

In the north of that Dayuan, there is also a Tessi people, called the Spanish, who also built cities, enslaved the local people, and often sent people to Fujian and other places to buy all kinds of valuable things. ”

Looking at the people around him, Lao Xiucai lowered his voice again: "Don't talk about it from afar, just so many Fusang people here in us, isn't it the same." On the surface, he is obedient, but secretly he communicates with pirates, and he is a maritime merchant while being a pirate, and he does whatever he makes money.

The so-called English people also learn the same, but they may be more willing to do more superficial work. ”

The Fusang people are very powerful in Dinghai, and the county lord does not dare to take care of it, but it is much more terrible for the big guys than the English people who have just arrived. People unconsciously lowered their heads, looked around each other, and then nodded secretly to Lao Xiucai.

"This Fuso people are in collusion with many pirates, and the English are just taking advantage of the unpreparedness to occupy the place, and in the future, these Fuso people will react, and there will definitely be a dragon fight. We are Dinghai, and it will be a lot of events in the future. At this time, the lieutenant also said: "It's just a pity that Hai Dagui, the soldiers outside are in chaos, and they still run to the wall to see something? ”

"Really. Everyone nodded in unison.

"However, since the other party is here to do business, why don't you do business with people in a down-to-earth manner, and you have to ban the sea, isn't it obvious that you want to fight with people?"

"How can it be justified? Lao Xiucai was furious, and stomped the wooden staff in his hand: "Which descendant said such a wordless and fatherless, forbidding the sea and closing the country, this is the emperor's intention, and it is also the rule of the court, how can you have room for a flat-headed common man to intervene?"

Besides, if we let those foreigners take away all the good things, what will we eat and wear? These foreigners say that they are here to do business, but they are actually here to act as robbers, and once the sea ban is opened, everyone will come to be pirates, how can there be room for the people to live in peace? Who wants to say such a big and unreasonable foolish thing again, be careful of Lao Xiucai, I will fight with him. ”

The big guy hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Lao Xiucai not to hurt himself for an ignorant posterity, and immediately someone stepped forward to reprimand the posterior and asked him to go to the back.

The old show finally relented, and then said: "Besides, these robbers are coming, and we do business with them, so we think we can eliminate the war, but it is not. At the beginning, the Dutch fought in Fujian, not only because they wanted to do business with my Daming, but also asked our Daming government to only do business with the Dutch in the future, and not to do business with other Taixi countries.

Therefore, it is completely wrong to think that everything will be fine if the sea ban is opened and everything can be done in peace and stability. ”

"To put it this way, this waiyi is really not a thing, not to mention buying things ourselves, and prohibiting others from doing business with us. The big guys said in unison, saying that they had listened to Lao Xiucai's words, and they really gained knowledge.

Li Yingyuan listened silently, originally he had been in the Taoist temple for a long time, and he didn't know much about these overseas trade things, but after listening to it for a while, he understood the ins and outs of it. I also feel that these outsiders come to Daming to do business, they don't have a rule, and they want to kill people at every turn, which is really not a good thing.

A few days later, the Fusang people in Dinghai also released words through various channels, although they were attacked by the English and occupied Dinghai, but this Dinghai is still the world of the Fusang people, and everyone is required to not associate with these English people or Fusang people, let alone do business, otherwise it will make people look good.

There were already many Fusang people living on Dinghai Island, among which there were many wealthy businessmen, and there were hundreds of people in the family alone, and everyone was a little afraid. These Fusang people also said that after the arrival of Fusang reinforcements, they would clean up these English people, and how they would punish those who were close to the English, in short, many people were scared enough.

In these days of rumors and undercurrents, Li Yingyuan tried his best to keep a low profile and try not to cause trouble. There are already a lot of troublesome things on his body, and he never wants to get involved in these rights and wrongs.

Li Yingyuan also inquired at this time, that Musashi Kojiro is really a great person, he has dozens of ships under his hands, hundreds of thousands of taels of family property, and countless samurai, ronin and sailors on the side of the Ming Dynasty who dare to fight.

Now that the English have arrived, the situation is complicated, and Dinghai may fall into war again at any time, unless there are further instructions from the Song guerrilla and the old monk, Li Yingyuan will never act rashly.

However, Li Yingyuan really felt that his task was probably going to be yellow. Originally, they came to deal with the pirates, but another group of more powerful pirates landed and occupied the entire island, what else could they do?

I just don't know if the old monk will take into account the actual situation and lift the ban on the life and death talisman on his body? Although he has known the old monk for a short time, Li Yingyuan feels that the other party will never be a good person, and it is impossible to expect the other party to show mercy.

Another thing is that this golden cicada Dao seed on my body, is there a way for the other party to take it back? At the beginning, the other party gave me a priceless Dao seed, and I was very grateful, but although I refined this Dao seed, the other party may not have the ability to take it back. Thinking of this precious Dao seed, the other party will not be so generous as to give it away just because he has completed a task.

I didn't think about it so much when I came, but now I sometimes think about it carefully, but I feel that this matter is full of evil from beginning to end, and I don't know how many incredible schemes and means that the monk is secretly hiding.

Now I can only be a monk for a day, hit the clock for a day, guard this medical hall and wait for Song Guerrilla to send news over. However, with the vision and ability of Song Guerrilla to find Hai Dagui as a spy, I am afraid that there are not many capable personnel under his command who can go to this island where there are many pirates.

In short, it seems that everything is wrong now, and it is really a wrong step, every step is wrong, and I am in a dilemma.

After Hai Dagui died, he left only a wife and daughter, and there was no one at home, so Li Yingyuan helped take care of the hospital. Anyway, he didn't have anything to do at this time, and there was only a benefit and no harm in keeping this medical hall open, in case Song Guerrilla sent someone over one day.

It wasn't until this day, when a headhunter came over with seven or eight English soldiers dressed in red, that Li Yingyuan began to regret that he shouldn't have left the hospital open.

"Who are you?" The head-catcher was stunned when he saw Li Yingyuan.

"I don't know what to call this adult? The little one is an apprentice in this medical hall, and this is not helping people look at the medical hall. Li Yingyuan dealt with it carefully.

"Hai Dagui, a poor ghost, can afford to accept an apprentice, but it's a rare thing. That person didn't have the slightest respect for Hai Dagui.

"I'm our Dinghai catcher, you can just call me Chen catcher. By the way, where did Hai Dagui go, you brought him to me, I happened to have something to do with him. Chen Zhutou said with a grin.

"It's really unfortunate, look at the layout here, Master Guigui unfortunately passed away two days ago. Li Yingyuan said.

"How could it be that he was dead? I saw him the other day. Chen Zhutou was stunned.

"This, you also know that the first two days were a little quiet, my master was hit by a stray bullet at that time, so..." Li Yingyuan really wanted to punch this person, you were all escorted, and you forgot what the situation on the island was now.

"Oh, really. The other party seemed to have just reacted, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
