Under the high-intensity artillery bombardment, the old Fu ship could not withstand it at all, and soon began to enter the water, roll sideways, and then slowly sink. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The sailors and men in the info sea were glad that they were not stupid enough to stay on board the ship to be buried. This barbarian from Guangdong is really arrogant, he will shoot if he doesn't agree with him, this is a ship full of goods, and he can earn more than 100,000 taels of silver when he changes hands in Japan!

Watching the ship slowly sink and bring up a whirlpool, the sailors and the guys breathed a sigh of relief, and finally avoided it in time and did not follow the ship to their lives. However, they soon lost their joy, as it was still spring, and the temperature in the Sea of Japan was much cooler than in Gangnam, and the people who soaked in the sea soon felt the biting cold, and their teeth began to rattle.

The captain of the boat stretched out his hand and waved at the battleship not far away, and shouted loudly: "Master Jun, we know that we are wrong, please ask Master Jun for mercy and save us up, we are willing to repay us by being cattle and horses!" "The boss of the ship and the owner of the ship are not in the same group, but are hired to carry the goods. On the way, he encountered this gang of fierce men and robbed the owner of the ship, and everyone didn't know why, but the boss of the boat was greedy and wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, as long as he avoided this group of people and sold the goods secretly, the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were his own. It's just that he never expected that with a single thought, not only did he not make a windfall, but he lost his own ship, and he was worried about his life.

The others also shouted: "Please be merciful!" ”

The two Wuyi-class warships stopped not far away, with the gentle undulation of the waves, and the misty green smoke still floated from the cannon window, but there was no intention of saving people, and no one on board answered.

After shouting for a while, everyone felt that something was wrong, look at this posture, it's not to kill them all, right? It's just a moment of confusion, is it really so ruthless?

After the ship sank completely, the two warships turned their bows and sailed back, without the slightest intention of stopping. Only then did the people in the sea know that the other party really wanted to put themselves to death - in Japan in early spring, the cold sea water, soaked for a quarter of an hour or two, soon the heat will be lost and the hands and feet will be numb, and finally sink into the water and bury themselves in the sea, there is no second possibility, and the gods cannot save it.

Seeing that he was in a desperate situation, the boat boss scolded: "Nong, these little red guys, do things so viciously, they will go to eighteen layers of hell in the future!" Just give us cannons and have a happy ......" Freezing to death and drowning alive, this kind of despair of slowly waiting for death is really more uncomfortable than eating cannons.

The rest of the people also cursed, and for a while, Songjiang dialect, Suzhou dialect, and Hangzhou dialect all came out, and the words "dog poke", "red guy", and "ghost head" were endless.

The battleship drifted away, unmoved.

When the rest of the merchant ships saw the fate of the ship and the people, they shuddered with a sense of sadness, especially when they saw a group of people fluttering in the sea and then slowly sinking into the water.

After this killing, all the lucky boats did not dare to move any thoughts of escaping, and obediently followed all the way to Nagasaki.

The appearance of such a large fleet in Nagasaki alarmed the commission, and a Seki-ship, powered by oars, approached the flotilla and inquired about the purpose. When he learned that it was the Qiongzhou battalion, which had recently gained fame, Guan Chuan immediately led the way and went ashore to report first.

After entering the port, there were already officials waiting at the wharf to greet them. After getting off the boat in the summer, the town official Amagasaki Hyosuke greeted him with a smile, and he nodded and greeted him: "General Xia, long time no see, welcome to Nagasaki again!" ”

Xia Nanya greeted him with a smile: "Mr. Amagasaki, it's been a long time, and I'm going to bother you again this time." ”

"Where, it is an honor for General Xia to be here!" Amagasaki Hyosuke smiled flatteringly, "It's also a contemptible honor to serve the general!" ”

Xia Nan noticed that Amagasaki Hyosuke's title and attitude towards him were far more respectful than last time, and it should be as Liu Quan said, the strong strength of defeating Zheng Zhilong deterred these Japanese, and most of the Japanese chose to look up and curry favor with the strong people they couldn't match.

"Very well, I have something I want you to help me with right now. I would like to arrest the merchants of the Ming Kingdom who evaded taxes in Nagasaki, and I would like to ask for the support of Mr. Amagasaki and all the members of the Commission. ”

"Tax evasion?" Amagasaki Hyosuke has been a town officer for many years and claims to be well-informed, but he has never heard such a statement.

"To put it simply, the maritime merchants in the Ming Kingdom, whether they are Ming people, Dutch, Spaniards, or Portuguese, need to pay me a certain amount of silver in order to sail safely on the sea." Summer Nan explained in the simplest words.

Amagasaki Hyosuke suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's the case, contemptible people understand." How do you need to work with you? "Before Zheng Zhilong died, he had already begun to collect protection money, and Amazaki Hyosuke had also heard that this so-called tax was just another way of saying it in his opinion.

Liu Quan, who was on the side, whispered to Xia Nan: "General, the maritime merchants have to go to the office to count the goods and deliver the payment, just stay at the office, catch one by one, and no one can escape." ”

Xia Nan said: "All the maritime merchants have to come and carry out the business, right? Tomorrow I will send men to sit in the ashram and catch them one by one. Don't worry, I will only arrest the Ming Kingdom, the Dutch, the Spaniards, and the Portuguese, and I will not arrest the maritime merchants in Japan, and I will give you face. ”

I didn't expect the other party to make such an excessive request, and Amagasaki Hyosuke's smile froze on his face, which was a little embarrassing. It's like a guest breaking into your house and arresting your guest, and he doesn't take you as the host in his eyes at all, where will he put his face?

Seeing that Amagasaki Hyosuke was a little embarrassed, Xia Nan asked, "What, did you embarrass Mr. Amagasaki?" It doesn't matter, since it is difficult for you to arrest people in the commission, and I am not difficult to force others, I will stay outside the port of Nagasaki, and I will sink one boat when I come, and then I will catch people up after the fight, and slowly interrogate them, and as long as they owe me taxes, they will all be arrested. ”

Amagasaki Hyosuke was shocked when he heard this, this is even more terrifying, what is the difference between guarding the open sea and sinking indiscriminately ships and starting a war? He hurriedly dissuaded: "General Xia, don't do this!" If you do so, you will be misunderstood by the nearby feudal states and the shogunate, and it will be regarded as a war, and the matter will fall into an irreparable situation......"

Xia Nan snorted: "I can defeat Zheng Zhilong, who has hundreds of warships and 100,000 troops, and there is no one I am afraid of on this sea." Misunderstanding is misunderstanding, even if you let the horse come! ”

This sentence hit Hyosuke Amagasaki's death hole, and he was immediately speechless. Zheng Zhilong is already a behemoth in the hearts of all Japanese, an invincible existence at sea, and now there is a more perverted Qiongzhou battalion, who dares to start a war with it at sea, isn't this an egg hitting a stone?

After thinking about it, Amazaki Hyosuke decided to choose the lesser of two evils and let the summer march south to carry out the people he arrested, which was nothing more than a loss of face, and it was better than causing a war between the two countries in his own hands.
