Chapter 153. Loaded on

The corners of Mao Jue's mouth twitched endlessly, constantly pulling to the right.

This bloody day dissipated with the heavy rain that lasted for several days, and the next morning was a rare sunny day, but at this time Nagasaki was a complete mess, most of the buildings in this era were made of wood, so that it was immediately finished when it encountered a fire, and the fire ignited by last night's riots, more than half of the buildings in the city were annihilated in the flames, and there is still dark smoke, the roads are collapsed with black beams, and the once tall shops and houses have turned into ashes, and the eyes are full of ruined scenes.

However, what annoyed Mao Jue was by no means Nagasaki City in front of him, he cared about those devils to death, what made him care was that he was gray, and his eyebrows almost burned down that group of poor Iron Righteous Army.

In these days of continuous combat, relying on sharp firearms, the Iron Righteous Army was wounded no more than 30 people, one person was killed, yesterday's Kuroda Breakthrough Battle was a face-to-face bayonet to bayonet, but relying on their own physical and military quality advantages, the Japanese army was about 1,000 killed, 2,008 were captured, and even the main general was captured, and the casualties of the Iron Righteous Army were only about 70, and the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army and the Houjin Eight Banners are really incomparable.

But just last night, inexplicably entered the mob's robbery and brawl, burned to death, was assassinated, and there were more than 30 missing Iron Righteous Army, and the number of casualties caught up with the earth-shattering battle outside the city, Shen Rong's third regiment was inexplicably surrounded by fire, and almost came to be wiped out.

And these elite officers and soldiers under Mao Jue's command risked their lives in exchange for a large group of fat and fat Japanese merchants who kept their copper-smelling property.

In troubled times, force is also a commodity, if everything develops according to common sense, yesterday Mao Jue met that watermelon is definitely the most successful businessman in Nagasaki City, he now has one-third of the shops, more than a dozen merchant ships and goods that are still floating on the sea, and I don't know how much real estate houses, this Nagasaki is really a place where business travelers gather, Chinese culture is extremely strong, and he also found someone to write a particularly vigorous and powerful banner in the morning.

Do the right thing for heaven!

After repelling the sling silk counterattack composed of rural peasants, port coolies, and ninja gangsters, these local tyrants and wealthy merchants who colluded with the shogunate came to the military station early in the morning to beat gongs and drums, and the banner was beaten to the front.

It was simply in high spirits, and was carried by a few people with a sliding rod, and when they arrived at this station, "Watermelon" jumped off the sliding rod, but they still walked in front of Chang Zhushang. Yesterday, his own general moved the crowd for this dead fat man, and he didn't stop the surrounding Tieyi Army, and directly let him go to Mao Jue with a banner.

Full of smiles, the fat on his face twitched with laughter, and suddenly the watermelon was incarnated as a rice cake and knelt in front of Mao Jue.

"The villain meets the general of the Celestial Empire!"

It seems that he is really a descendant of Jiangnan merchants, although this product has a strong Jiangnan flavor in the northern official dialect, but it is called a slippery.

"The general's command is really a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, moving like thunder, punishing the demon clown like an angry King Kong, righteousness is thin and cloudy, saving the people between fire and water, the villain and the people of Nagasaki, come to thank the general for his benevolence!"

This fat watermelon is quite rich, as he clapped his hands, the two workers brought up a box, and when it was opened, a box full of gold ingots flashing with golden light came into view.

If he had taken out a few thousand taels of gold like this yesterday, it was estimated that the watermelon heart would have dripping blood, but now he is not what it used to be, and last night with the extortion of Mao Jue's military might, he can even be called Nagasaki City.

However, it seems that he came at the wrong time, Mao Jue is scolding the first two regimental guards Shen Rong and Tian Tao to scold the bloody head, at this juncture, this watermelon actually dares to bring a group of pig's heads to tease him?

His face was directly gloomy, Mao Jue turned around gloomily, and waved his hand directly at Wen Meng in the smiling faces of a group of Nagasaki merchants.

"Take them all!"

All the smiles froze there, and the watermelon was even more stupid, until the two Ming soldiers dragged him by the shoulders and took him down, and this guy fluttered in horror and screamed like a pig.

"General of the Celestial Empire, what are you doing here? Didn't we say that we would give the small half of the family property? If you still want it, we can discuss it again, and I can add more!"

It's okay if he doesn't shout, when he shouts like this, it makes Mao Jue's teeth itch even more, and a finger is pointed at the door of his head.

"That's right, this guy, throw Lao Tzu into the sea when he returns, feed the sharks!"

Mao Jue's words immediately scared this watermelon stupidly, and this time he finally kowtowed on the ground and shouted: "The general spares his life!" The villain is willing to dedicate all his wealth to the general, and begs the general for mercy! ”

Mao Jue didn't even bother with it, and entered the shogunate office again with his arms in annoyance.

It's really called a typical small businessman's mind, the general guy with a fat brain doesn't talk about the snakes and rats at both ends, and he also puts his careful thoughts on Mao Jue, and uses his military power to suppress the rioting Chinese people, and then spends a little money to send Mao Jue away, and when the shogunate comes back, they are still in front of their local tyrants and inferior gentry.

All this has to be based on the premise of Mao Jue's reasoning.

But after thousands of miles to kill this Japanese country, it was ash and dirt under Nagasaki City, and there was a big battle with the main forces of the two domains, Mao Jue was not reasonable at all, so no matter how much trouble he made last night, it had nothing to do with him Mao Jue, anyway, with the bayonet in his hand, who did he harvest wealth from?

In the messy footsteps, about one hundred and fifty or sixty rich merchants and giants in Nagasaki were covered by Mao Jue, including the Netherlands, Portugal and Ming maritime merchants, the Dutch needless to say, now their gunboats are still parked in Nagasaki Bay, and the settled Jiangnan merchants are not good people, the Japanese rebellion started in Nagasaki, more or less, they all have a connection with it, not to mention the Japanese merchants, Mao Jue came to them this time.

Last night was an accident, Mao Jue's order was used by this watermelon, which was infinitely magnified, and as a result, the three regiments were involved, and they suffered some losses in vain. Now, everything is back on track, and what the Nagasaki mob did is the turn of the Iron Volunteers, and the houses that were finally saved were kicked open one by one, hidden in rice jars, cellars, and toilets, and the money boxes in the toilets were turned out one by one by the Iron Volunteers, who were more smart than a dog's nose, and the entire street was full of Iron Volunteers carrying things back and forth.

The wealth of these guys is simply amazing, not only is it not inferior to the shogunate treasury, but even exceeds it a lot, and Adriana, who works as an accountant for Mao Jue and registers her wealth at the gate of the city, is simply going crazy.

The nearest Kuroda family, the Nabeshima family, was disabled, and the entire Kyushu Island except for the Shimazu family still had some threats, and the rest simply let Mao Jue run rampant, just like the previous swaggering attack on Nagasaki, thousands of Ming troops were also carried to the ship as if no one was around, and there were so many trophies that Mao Jue's fleet had to abandon some gunpowder and worn-out bronze artillery, which had not yet been loaded.

In the end, Li Shanhai, who was also red-eyed, stepped up his efforts to send a ship back to Zhendao, and recruited the Li Chao fleet moored there, and more than 10,000 Li Chao sailors followed the helpers, so that most of the property was loaded onto the ship at the beginning of May.

Of course, there can't be so many precious metals such as gold and silver, and the Western gold coins minted from South America can be about 80,000 taels, and all kinds of silver can be 700,000 taels, plus a weight of dozens of tons The Black Pearl can be laughed at by a ship, and Mao Jue's captain's room has become a warehouse for stockpiling these things, and a candle shines down, and his eyes are full of shiny metal.

More trophies are large quantities of cloth, deerskin, sugar and other goods, only deer skins have as many as 100,000 pieces, every year the Dutch East India Company dumps these goods from Taiwan to Japan, to Mao Jue's hands is also considered to be the return of the original owner, there is a special product of the Wa country, mercury, Wa sword, Wa fan, ukiyo-e screen, locally produced rice, rice alone has more than 200,000 stones.

In addition, there are two ships with very special cargo, all of which are people.

The wealthy merchants of Nagasaki City and their men were also pulled back by Mao Jue, and the population was almost 10,000 together, a bit similar to the treatment of the black slave trade, and everyone, regardless of men, women, and children, was stuffed under the dark cabin like goods.

The reason for bringing these people, as always, is that Mao Jue's territory lacks labor, and more people are incorporated into the pro-corps, which means that fewer people go to farm, and a large number of people need to be replenished, and the other is the hatred of Mao Jue's later generations.

But what Mao Jue didn't know was that the value of the two boats he pulled away even exceeded the gold and silver utensils he pulled back, of course, this is a later story, at this time, a group of fat-brained merchants of the Three Kingdoms were all hopeful, crowded in the small and dark cabin, counting the waves farther and farther away from the Wa Kingdom, I don't know what kind of treatment it will be in the future.

Fortunately, Lee's Korea is very close to the Japanese Kingdom, and if it is really like a black slave trading ship to cross the Pacific Ocean, it is estimated that this group of fat-headed and big-eared guys will die.

It wasn't until the fifth day of Mao Jue's departure, the seventh day of the fifth month, that the reinforcements organized by the shogunate arrived at Nagasaki Castle, and at this time, only the scorched black city that had been reduced by more than half, the bones that began to rot, and the empty treasury, the crows in the sky hovered in the harbor and made a terrible cry, and under the banner of the three-leaf sunflower pattern, a katana was plunged into the sand.

"Koreans! Akito!"

The teeth were almost crushed in anger, and the two black sharp horns on his head pointed obliquely at the sunny sky, and the Japanese general wearing black footgear was so angry that he wanted to run directly into the sea and catch up with Mao Jue and cut it, but behind him, the old man in his fifties, who was also wrapped in a southern barbarian carcass, looked at the deep sea, and showed an extremely worried gaze.

"It's not the right time!"
