Chapter 328: Catching Turtles in the Urn Sea and land encircled
readx;
The mouth of the Fujia River is a living harbor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info called the port is better than a natural fishing port and other places are a little different, he has a river leading to the sea, Tangjia River is not a big river, when the water is the largest, you can also go a hundred materials of the big boat, to November when the water is dry, at most it is to go sixty materials.
Usually no one pays attention to it except for a few fishermen who come and go along the river, but now it is very lively, and there are more than a dozen large ships parked in the harbor, and hundreds of small boats full of goods come and go.
The dozens of families near the port were all smiling, and the people on the ships began to come, and everyone thought that the pirates were coming, and the village was going to be washed, and the chickens and dogs were not left.
Who thought that instead of killing and plundering, these people on the sea would take out white money and live in their houses, and let them buy wine and meat utensils.
Although they sent people to follow when they bought things, they were not well compared to the more expensive prices, and everyone calculated that this year, every household could buy half a piece of pig, a few jars of good wine, and a fat year.
It's much easier than fishing in the sea and hard farming, and I haven't waited for those who come from the sea. The people of the village themselves said it first, and no one told it to the outside world, but whoever said it was tied to a stone and thrown into the sea to feed the fish. ”。
"A ship has to be unloaded for at least four days, and there is not even a girl in this hellish place, which is really boring."
"Aren't there a few mothers-in-law in the village, Lao Zhang, you have a lot of silver in your pocket, maybe I'm willing to sleep with you"
"Fuck it, these mothers-in-law are not as beautiful as the raw ones of Manthorn and Java, and they will be unappetizing when they look at it."
On a ship that was being unloaded, several sailors looked bored and chatted below, these people were all strong men, with knives and axes in their hands, and they didn't look good.
After watching it for a long time, a man pointed to the boat below and scolded:
"The ants are not so slow to move, and the head of Lao Tzu is dizzy, and the goods in the cabin have been unloaded less than thirty percent, when will this day be over
"Isn't this about saving 20% of the tax money? We're going to borrow some mercury this time, it's too hard. ”
After saying this, the person who scolded lost his temper. After a long time, he spoke:
"The straight lady thief, I used to go to Tianjin Wei. You can go into the city to find a girl by changing your clothes, and you can live happily for a few days with good wine and meat, what is this now, dozens of days to toss back, do you have to wait until the devil to have a woman. ”
The man next to him smiled and yelled at the bottom of the boat, "Be careful. He said:
"This year's posture, I'm afraid it's going to be the New Year at sea."
Speaking of this, everyone's mood was a little low, and one person looked back and scolded in a low voice
"Lao Liang, what's going on. Bastard things, the shipowner over there said that two achievements and two percent, the good goods will not be caught and confiscated, he wants to be greedy for this cheap, get the boat over, these single boards come down for four days, don't you spend a little money
"I heard that it was the relationship over there that brought everyone here, and that person has a wide range of hands and can eat everyone's goods."
"I didn't see the boat of the Three Water Kings this time!".
The ship was chatting there, and when they saw two sea ships slowly coming in outside, everyone turned around and looked at them habitually, but this time it added a lot of conversation to them.
"This boat can be broken very badly, and no matter how strong the wind and waves are, it will enter the water
"Look at the nailed board, it should be a hole in the shelling, right?"
"Could it be that he was beaten by the white devil's boat, isn't it, the boat also has a water flag, and he paid the annual money to buy the road with the king of the three waters, and the white devil doesn't dare to touch it!"
The two new ships are indeed very broken, the holes in the hull look newly repaired, with wooden planks nailed inside and out, everyone is used to running on the sea, and you can also see that the mainmast of one of the ships is also a new color, I really don't know what evil stars I have encountered.
When encountering the pirates of the Ming Dynasty and the Wei Kingdom, fighting for life and death is just jumping on the ship. No matter how hard you fight, you won't make holes in the hull.
If you run into the ship of the Francis White Devil. There was a clash with those ships, and there was a burst of shelling, and the ship's mast was going to suffer.
But the three water kings have a rule, each ship that walks on the sea must pay him a thousand taels of silver every year to cross the sea, pay a silver, the three water kings will provide shelter, the Nanyang Franco machine white devil does not dare to offend the three water kings, Wanli four years, two from thousands of miles away from the Franco machine ship do not know the rules. robbed two ships and killed all the people on board, but was known by the Three Water Kings. The two ships had already gone to Luzon, but they were washed up in the harbor, and the whole ship was killed, but the governor of Francis in Luzon admitted it silently, not daring to pursue it in the slightest.
Since then, the ship sheltered by the Three Water Kings. On the sea surface of Daming and the South Seas, no one dares to touch it.
Looking at the scars on these two ships, it is clear that only Western gunboats can make such an appearance. I really don't know what kind of bad luck I fell into to meet such an eyeless Western ship.
When the ship enters the port, the sails will be lowered, and the degree ... The terrain of the public side of the Tangjia estuary is more troublesome, so the port is particularly throated.
The helmsmen on the two ships didn't look familiar, and the two boats walked particularly awkwardly, and they fought even more horizontally at the mouth.
Loading and unloading, ants moving, for the sailors and boatmen on the sea, it was really boring, and the two clumsy ships that came in attracted everyone's attention at once.
Looking at those two ships is not well controlled. There was a fight at the exit, and the shipwrights and sailors all laughed loudly, some whistled, and some slapped, and the scene was very lively for a while.
The sailors on the two ships cursed loudly. While the boat was busy and nervous, some people went to loosen the rudder rope, and some went to tie the sails tightly. The laughter, the whistle became louder and louder, and the two boats still didn't turn around after all, just at the mouth of the sea, what kind of person is this man, if it is under the hands of the Three Water Kings, I am afraid that they will be fed to the sharks.
Suddenly, everybody saw those two ships go down cobalt. The sails on the mast were all lowered. This is what to do, the laughter and whistles gradually stopped.
Wouldn't the ship be unable to move after such a toss, the sailors on the two ships were still busy, and this time it was even more incomprehensible, why did the tarpaulin of those goods on the deck have to be lifted.
The tarpaulin was lifted, revealing swarthy artillery on the side of the bay, and the sharp eyes could see that it was artillery, and the people inside were still confused. It's quiet at the front.
"Fire!!"
There were people on both ships shouting, it seemed that the cannon had already been loaded, and the sailors standing beside the cannon hurriedly pointed their heads.
"Boom, boom, boom" continued to be loud, and the two "clumsy and safe" ships were immediately obscured by white gunsmoke, and there was only roar and roar on the sea. The voices of others are not muffled, but completely forgotten.
As soon as the shot was fired, the recoil made the gun retreat, the wooden wheels and splints of the gun mount rubbed and creaked, and the gun mount had thick ropes connected to the side of the ship, and the rope was pulled back a certain distance.
There were five guns on one side of each ship, and the five guns retreated so that the hull shook violently, and many sailors who operated the guns did not stand firm and fell directly on the deck.
If it was a real sailor, at least they would have stabilized their bodies or grabbed something, but these "sailors" quickly got up. Begin to clear the chamber, reload ammunition.
The bay was so quiet that the sailors on the two gunboats wondered whether they had fired or not, and some of them stopped to take a look, and were immediately scolded by the general standing on the ship's tower:
"Concentrate, move faster, delay the artillery to march the method!!"
After the loading was completed here, the loading of one door, the sailors on the side of the artillery raised a small flag, and the generals demanded orders, and a dozen or so ships over there suddenly burst into screams and cries.
It turned out that he didn't react until now, and Ling Jun was stunned by this sudden reaction, but he still waved his hand hard, and it was Ling again.
"Fire!!"
Roars, smoke and screams.
The screams were sparse, there were only five cannons on each ship, and only two of the five cannons were three-pound guns, and the rest were one-pound and one-and-a-half-pound small cannons.
The effect of the two rounds of artillery fire was also very poor, only one until the mold ghost was hit by a cannonball and was killed on the spot, the others were fine, and the one who screamed was only a cannonball that smashed a corner of the shipbuilding, and the flying sawdust burst out and hit the people nearby, and the pain was the only reason for the scream.
It's just that those loaded pieces are very troublesome. The people on the board looked bad and jumped into the water one after another, and when it was fatal, they couldn't care about the biting chill in the water.
After two rounds, the soldiers did not stop to reload. But there were no people on the ships who dared to stand up, and they were all lying there in a state of disarray, not daring to move.
The intellectuals on the other side of the Tangjia River all walked backwards like crazy. Who would dare to be sent to death.
The people on the shore also heard the movement of the sea, and a group of people hurried out, wanting to go. High up, see what's going on in the bay.
But as soon as they went out and looked in the direction of the land, they stayed there, and some people turned around and wanted to run, but when they saw the sea, they remembered that they had no way to escape.
"So many cavalry, where the hell are they, isn't there more than 200 horses in Wang Tong's dog thief's hands? .
"What's the use of saying this, fight with them!!"
"You're crazy, there are thousands of riders here"
Dozens of cavalrymen broke away from the encircled brigade and reached the hillock by the sea, where they waved the red flag in their hands. ”,
"The red flag is waving!"
The sailors who climbed on top of the mast shouted below. The generals immediately ordered loudly:
"Fire!!"
"Prepare to put the solitary board, get close to the board!!"
