Chapter 159 (II) The harvest is very rich
The area around Leizhou Bay is not as good as around Guangzhou, and the pirates here may be more daring to fight hard, but the equipment is much worse, there is no artillery, and long-range firepower is extremely lacking. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, in the current situation, even if the pirates had artillery, they might be shot by Li Xian and others from a long distance before the cannon fuse was lit, and even throw grenades over to detonate the gunpowder around the artillery.
The range of artillery in this period of the Qing Dynasty did not exceed 500 meters at all, and even if the pirates could get artillery, it was the most inferior, with a range of less than 200 meters, which is probably not as good as the range of rifled rifles.
When rifled rifles were just used on a large scale, they happened to be in the later stage of front-loading artillery, and there were many cases in which artillery was suppressed by rifles and could not raise its head.
Li Xian had read an article before, saying that during the Republic of China, pirates were rampant in Leizhou Bay, and the sugar merchants in Xuwen County asked the boxers of Jingzhuang to escort them on the ship in order to transport the sugar to Guangzhou.
In short, Zhao Hu and the others rushed in, controlled the Zhaimen, and joined up with Li Xian.
"Sect Master, the subordinates are concerned about the safety of the Sect Master, and they rushed in without listening to the Sect Master's instructions to ambush outside, and asked the Sect Master to forgive their sins. As soon as he saw Li Xian, General Zhao hurriedly pleaded guilty.
"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and Steward Zhao handled it properly, crushing the pirates' only remaining will to fight, what is the crime.
By the way, do you have any extra grenades?" Li Xian opened his mouth and asked them for grenades.
Li Xian found out in the battle just now that his grenade could throw more than 100 meters, and it was a walking small artillery, or the kind that bloomed, which was much more enjoyable than fighting with a musket.
There were a lot of grenades brought by the Mixed Yuan Sect this time, and Chen Xiaoer immediately untied the backpack behind him, took out more than twenty grenades, and gave them to Li Xian.
General Zhao Hu and others took rifles and others to guard Li Xian, and Li Xian was relieved to smash people with grenades, and soon killed and injured dozens of pirates, destroying all the pirates' will to fight.
In the morning, when the sun rises in the east, all the pirates who can move around in the Haiyan village are gone, and the rest are injured pirates or corpses that cannot run.
Twelve men occupied a stockade guarded by more than 200 pirates, which was like a miracle, and no one would believe it.
However, Li Xian also knew in his heart that with such inferior equipment of the pirates, when he encountered the heavily armed people of the Mixed Yuan Sect, even if there was no lurking sneak attack, the victory or defeat was only five or five.
The pirates under Hai Yan Luo died and ran, and they didn't have time to take away their belongings, and in the end, they were all cheap to mix with the people of the Yuan Sect.
Li Xian took Zhao Hu to lightly tap the belongings in the Haiyan Luo Village, and the gold, silver, jewelry, and silver tickets that were easy to realize totaled 12,300 silver, and the harvest was not small.
In addition, there are a lot of goods looted from passing ships, including sugar, salt, tea, grain, porcelain, etc., as well as the 20,000 pieces of soap that the Mixed Yuan Sect transported to the Fuwei Dart Bureau some time ago, but were robbed on the way, these things are also worth seven or eight thousand taels of silver.
As a third-order master, Hai Yan Luo also had a lot of things for cultivation in his hands, but when he looked through the cellars and warehouses, he looked like he was worth more than a thousand Jing Yuan Pills.
Originally, Hai Yan Luo had a great reputation in the area of Leizhou Bay, and he had robbed for decades, and the accumulated property was at least more than 100,000 taels, but according to the habits of pirates, he must have found a remote place to bury it, and the people of the Mixed Yuan Sect wanted to find it but had no way to find it, so they could only give up.
In addition, a small wooden box was also found in Hai Yanluo's room, and a secret book of martial arts was found inside, called "Yan Luo Wanzi Gong", which seemed to be what Hai Yan Luo had learned.
The martial arts cheats that can make people cultivate to the realm of a grandmaster are originally very valuable, but for Li Xian, it doesn't mean much, just put things away, and it can be regarded as adding some background to the Mixed Yuan Sect.
In addition to these, the biggest gain is the ship in the hands of Haiyan.
As a pirate, Hai Yan Luo naturally has a lot of sea ships in his hands, most of them are light sailing ships that are known for their speed, and there were originally more than a dozen of these ships, but some pirates saw that the situation was wrong, so they desperately went to the port to drive the ships away, so that Li Xian and the ships they really captured had nine searches.
Among them, the largest one has a displacement of 200 tons, three ships are about 100 tons, and the remaining five ships are about 50 or 60 tons.
These were the seizures of larger vessels, and the rest of the small boats and small fishing boats that could carry people had a displacement of less than 15 tons, and there were more than a dozen of them, but they were not of much value.
Fishermen from nearby fishing villages knew that there was a big battle here, so they closed their doors and windows, and did not dare to enter or leave, and only wanted to wait until the battle was over to come out to see the situation.
According to the practice of the ancestors, Li Xian led Zhao Hujiang and others to find a way to gather the fishermen together, publicize that Hai Yan Luo harassed innocent people, and that there were innocent deaths, and that the mixed yuan concept came to eliminate the pirates and relieve the fishermen's troubles, etc., and also distributed property and some goods and food that were not of high value and difficult to take away.
The fishermen listened to Li Xian's words blankly, and there was no reaction, and Li Xian didn't know what the use of doing this was, but the traversers had done it before, and it was said that the effect was good, so they went through the process head-on.
After that, Li Xian hired these fishermen with a lot of money, helped transport the goods to the boat, and helped to sail the captured boat to Yaluo Bay.
More than 90 of Hai Yanluo's men were killed in the battle, and the remaining 60 or so ran away when they saw the opportunity, leaving only about 30 of them, who were injured of varying degrees and wailed in pain.
Li Xian also had no intention of embarrassing these pirates, he bandaged them simply, and asked the less injured pirates to take care of the more seriously injured, and left a hundred pieces of ocean for them to fend for themselves.
Originally, Li Xian thought that after these things were done, he would be able to relax, but he didn't expect that there would be a moth in the end.
When dealing with the matter of these pirate captives, Xie Yingnan, Miss Xie suddenly rushed over, grabbed a dodging person from the group of captives, pressed it to the ground and beat him fiercely.
Chen Xiaoer wanted to stop it, but it was useless, but he was beaten several times by Miss Xie even with him.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, you are an uncle, don't take care of it. Li Xian didn't expect this kind of thing to happen, so he sighed and said to General Zhao Hu: "We really want to see who is not pleasing to the eye, so we can drag it to a place where no one is going to beat it casually, this public beating will have a bad impact."
You go and take a look, Miss Xie really wants to beat someone, and you don't have to rush it for a while, take it back to our territory and clean it up. ”
The corners of Zhao Hu's mouth twitched, thinking to himself, Sect Master, your words are sincere, but they are too sincere.
However, this matter really had to be stopped quickly, Zhao Hu hurriedly went over and grabbed Xie Yingnan, said a few words to each other, and then came back with a complicated expression and reported a very interesting thing to Li Xian.
It turned out that the middle-aged man who was about thirty years old who was beaten was not Hai Yanluo's subordinate, but Hai Yanluo's guest, and Hai Yan Luo had a good night last night to entertain this person.
And this guest's surname is Bao, and it is said that he is a very rich businessman, and it is the boss of Bao who Xie Yingnan said that he would go to the Mixed Yuan Sect soap workshop to buy shares.
Judging from the confession of Hai Yanluo's subordinates, this Bao boss began to explain to Hai Yan Luo about a month ago, and he was very respected by Hai Yanluo.
