Chapter 109: A Storm Rises on the Sea
Chapter 109: A Storm Rises on the Sea
The typhoon ravaged for three days.
On the fourth day, the wind had stopped, but the beach was in shambles.
Many people who live near the shore start catching up to sea early.
Typhoons not only bring wind and rain, but also bring many rare catches.
Han Lingshan rarely allowed these people to rest for two days.
He himself came to the seashore and stepped on the still surging waves, and looked into the depths of the vast smoke waves.
For the sea, he fell in love with it from the first time he saw it.
"It would be great if you could turn into a 10,000-pound giant fish and make waves."
Facing the vast blue waves, Han Lingshan couldn't help muttering to himself.
Liu Poxi, who was two steps behind him, hurriedly said: "Ye is a hero, and he doesn't have to become a fish to make waves." ”
Han Lingshan looked back at Liu Po and said, "I may not be able to marry you." ”
Mrs. Liu said in a low voice: "The concubine's body is a broken flower and a willow, and it is excellent to be able to serve the master for a while, and I dare not propose extravagantly." ”
Han Lingshan shook his head and said, "It's not that I dislike you for having two children, but ......" He said, as if he remembered something terrifying, he couldn't help but shake his head.
Mrs. Liu didn't care at all, took Han Lingshan's hand and said: "The master's family background must be not small, and people like the concubine can enter the mansion, and they don't dare to pray that the master can pamper me, just ask the master to come and see the concubine in his spare time." ”
Han Lingshan nodded and said: "This is not bad, in two days, someone will come to pick you up and leave Chaozhou and go to a new place to settle down, although Lao Tzu will be laughed at by a brother, this is nothing."
The big ones will go to the places where I went to study, and the small ones you will take with you, and after three or five years, it is time to go to school.
There, I have a small yard, there is no shortage of food and clothing, you can raise the baby with peace of mind, and there is still my 100 acres of ration field in that place, and I have sent a letter to ask people to build a house on the ration field.
After the house is built, you go and settle down there.
Someone will hand over my money to you, you should have accumulated a lot, enough for your mother and son to live. ”
Mrs. Liu fell to her knees in the tide and wept silently.
"The concubine must guard the door and dare not talk about the relationship with the master."
"It doesn't matter what I do, if it weren't for my current errand, you would say that it's nothing in my outer room, go pack your things, you can use the gold and silver in my baggage at will."
After Han Lingshan finished arranging Liu Poxi, he walked all the way along the coastline, picking up some seafood from the beach and throwing it into the fish basket from time to time, at first glance, there was no difference from the fisherman by the sea.
Liu Po was about to jump up with joy, she thought that this man would only give her a sum of money and send her away, but she never thought that he would arrange for their mother and son to live in the fiefdom.
This far exceeded all her expectations.
Although Uncle Jiu said that there are no good people in Jinyiwei, Liu Poxi is willing to believe this man who is not good-looking, well, take his life to believe it.
In Liu Poxi's heart, this tiger-like man disdains to do things to deceive her or hurt her, which is completely unnecessary.
Two days later, the warship that Han Lingshan said came to come.
Three large fortune ships of 400 materials!
Not equipped with artillery, not equipped with poles, just three merchant ships.
The person who came to deliver the boat was still the white-faced and beardless Qian Hengbao.
This time, his face was extremely solemn, and he completely lost his former witty appearance.
"There's no way, you want to be in a hurry, so it's just like this, we contacted Zheng Zhibao, hoping to have three warships, Zheng Zhibao said no, no artillery, no sailors, they don't even plan to give us another plank.
Zheng Zhilong already knew about Han Xiufen's great power at sea, and he was a little scared.
When they fought against the Dutch in Liuluo Bay, they used 50 gunboats and 100 fireships, but they were only facing the Dutch with lightly armed merchant ships.
Even so, it was a tough fight and a lot of damage.
Only two armed merchant ships were burned, and the rest fled, and the only pirates who were attached to the Dutch were killed.
At the beginning of the Battle of Liaoluo Bay, the Dutch destroyed Zheng Zhilong's more than 20 new gunboats equipped with 20 to 36 cannons in one fell swoop by sneaking into the port.
It is difficult to say who suffered more in the naval battle of Liuluo Bay.
In Fujian, the Dutch were weak and had to surrender.
If the heavy warships faced by Han Xiufen were used to deal with Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong would not be able to resist it no matter what.
You must know that our largest fortune ship is nine zhang long, and the Dutch's medium-sized warships are more than twenty zhang.
The largest firepower of the Fu ship is only one Hongyi cannon, six thousand-pound Franc machines, and the rest are small cannons such as bowl-mouth guns, the so-called Hongyi cannon, which is an eighteen-pounder pound cannon of a salvaged Western shipwreck.
According to the news from Han Xiufen, the strongest Dutch warship "Seven Provinces" was equipped with 80 cannons, including 12 36-pounder guns, 16 24-pounder guns, 14 18-pounder guns, 12 12-pounder guns, and 26 6-pounder guns.
The most common mid-class warships in the Dutch fleet at that time had an average of 50 guns, of which more than half were more than 18-pounder guns.
In the Dutch naval divisions along the coast of Daming, many ships carried less than 30 guns, which were placed in Europe, that is, the level of a light warship.
And even this kind of light warship is an insurmountable obstacle in the eyes of Nan Juyi, the former governor of Fujian.
Fuzun sent Yang Xiong, the secretary and supervisor, to Weinan in person to ask Nan Juyi, who was cultivating and studying for pleasure, the details of the Penghu naval battle that year.
Nan Juyi said: In the battle with the Hongmao Navy, we must be cautious, and the slightest carelessness will lead to the annihilation of the entire army.
Although he won the Battle of Penghu, it was not honorable.
It was he who first used treacherous means to detain Dutch officers during negotiations, and then mobilized more than 10,000 men and 200 ships to besiege the Penghu stronghold, when the Dutch defenders were less than 1,000 people.
And due to time reasons, only rudimentary fortifications were built, and in this way, more than 10,000 people in the Ming Dynasty also spent a lot of effort to break through the fortress.
In the end, some of the Dutch escaped by boat.
The battle cost 170,000 troops.
It was still so difficult to fight with absolute superiority in troops, and Nan Juyi never mentioned this matter since he left his post in Fujian.
Lingshan, the reason why the county venerable wants to deal with Zheng Zhilong this time is not out of selfishness, but because this Zheng Zhilong has become an obstacle to our development of a strong navy.
Although I can't figure out why you only need three lucky boats, this kind of strength is completely insufficient in the face of Zheng Zhilong's shark.
Be careful! ”
After listening carefully to Qian Hengbao's introduction, Han Lingshan couldn't help but sigh.
Time is of the essence......
The county is really wise......
The county's vision is indeed as long as tens of thousands of miles......
The county's mind really encompasses the whole world, not the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Daming, Emperor Jiannu, Li Hongji, and Zhang Bingzhong are really rookie fish in the fish pond......
"I want Han Xiufen's report on the red hair, all of them!"
"What do you want this for? It's still top secret. ”
As far as Qian Hengbao is concerned, Han Lingshan has automatically put this guy into the ranks of rookie fish.
The purpose of Yushan Academy is to seek innovation and change, and this guy who came out of Yushan Academy has no interest in these sudden peaks, and he is simply not self-motivated.
Like Yun Zhao, Han Lingshan also likes to remain silent when he encounters a fool, and can only tell him with his eyes the fact that he is a fool.
Qian Hengbao naturally found out from Han Lingshan's eyes that he had been classified as a fool, and immediately said: "I can help you apply, and the rest depends on whether the secretary approves it or not." ”
Han Lingshan sighed and said: "I'm so thirsty for knowledge, you still have to go through a long channel and send the news directly to the county honor, I want to read Han Xiufen's manuscript." ”
"The manuscript is encrypted."
Han Lingshan sighed and said, "This is the consequence of you idiots not studying well in Yushan Academy, you can't read Han Xiufen's encrypted documents, do you think I can't read it either?" ”
Qian Hengbao muttered, "How did I know that those tadpole-like words are so important." ”
If you talk too much to a fool, you will become stupid, but Qian Hengbao is more well-behaved than his son in front of him, so he naturally has to pay attention to it.
"Get ready, the imperial court recruits Zheng Zhilong and Cao Huachun have a lot to do with it."
Qian Hengbao said in surprise: "Something to do with Cao Huachun?" ”
Han Lingshan said irritably: "Back then, the pirate Wang Zhi was killed by Hu Zongxian, isn't this lesson profound enough?"
Zheng Zhilong is even smarter than Wang Zhi, and there is no direct channel to Tianting, do you think he will surrender?
The person who recruited Zheng Zhilong back then was Xiong Wencan, and Xiong Wencan was the first batch of people to be Zhaoxue when Cao Huachun dealt with Wei Zhongxian's unjust case.
These things are clearly written in Zhou Guoping's Beijing statistics book.
You never read these messages, do you? ”
"You're just suspicious!"
"Fuck off, you go and see it now, as long as Lao Tzu starts to suspect someone, it will definitely be true.
Without the emperor's approval, do you think the people of Fujian will take the Zheng family as the Great Wall?
Without the emperor's consent, do you think Zheng Zhilong's trade scope was wide and wide-ranging in the East and South Seas?
Why do you think he can do whatever he wants in Da Ni, Hun Ni, Champang, Luzon, Yonggang, Beigang, Dain, Hirado, Nagasaki, Mumbai, Banten, Old Port, Batavia, Malacca, Cambodia, Siam, etc.?
Why does it have a military force of up to 200,000 people of various races, including Han, Japanese, Korean, Austronesian, and African blacks, and a fleet of more than 3,000 large and small ships?
Why would the county be so jealous of him that he asked me to get rid of him and then dismantle Bazhi? ”
Every time Han Lingshan said something, he took a step forward, and Qian Hengbao was forced to take a step back, until Qian Hengbao was forced to the side of an abandoned wooden boat, Han Lingshan pressed his hand on the wooden boat, and looked condescendingly at Qian Hengbao who was being knocked by him.
"Take my woman to Yushan, send the eldest child to the academy, and the younger one with the belly in my study building, and when the house on my fief is built, send them to the fief, and then take out my money from the administrative secretary and hand it to the mother-in-law.
If someone asks, you know what to say, right? ”
Qian Hengbao was sweating profusely, nodding again and again, he didn't know why he would nod his head to do this kind of pickled thing that would be laughed at by his classmates for a lifetime.
