The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 339

Huang Sheng was not polite. In addition to his own and Li Guozhu's two hundred warships and cargo ships, he also brought all the ships captured by Zheng Yiguan. The current fleet has more than 400 sea-going ships.

Twelve No. 27 Fuchuan-class ships, [-] Caobo-class ships, and more than [-] No. [-] and No. [-] Fuchuan-class warships were added.

Of course, the sailors and gunners are mainly Huang family horses. They added that they recaptured more than 300 Fujian navy soldiers who had been captured by Zheng Yiguan. They also captured more than 500 fishermen when they created a boat-free zone at sea and chose half of them to serve in the army. .

No one is unwilling to stay and work with the Huang family's private soldiers, because following the Huang family will ensure food and clothing.Soon the families of these people will be concentrated in the Zhongzuo Institute, and all of them will be taken to Daishan Island for resettlement when the fleet returns.

From the pirate prisoners, more than 1000 people who did not commit any crimes of treachery and evil were selected to be exiled into the army, not to join the army.They have to work as handymen for a period of time to gain trust before they can become sailors and gunners.

Ye Chengjing finally boarded Mr. Huang's "Liaodong". This insightful son had long been convinced by Mr. Huang. With such a huge fleet and such sharp warships, it seems that he has captured a small country in Nanyang. The king is also relaxed!
This kid has a pursuit, and wants to find an opportunity to test Master Huang's tone. If Master Huang establishes a country overseas, wouldn't he be a minister of the dragon?
Huang Sheng is not one of those moral gentlemen who have been made stupid by the dogma of Confucianism. Such a large fleet of collective action can be met but not sought after. Of course, it is necessary to maximize the benefits.

It is necessary to rob pirates. If you get one more warship, your strength will increase by one point, and the pirates will lose one point of strength.

Thousands of pirate prisoners of war have now been captured, and the nearby pirate lairs are under control.

Huang Sheng was going to run and snatch all the way, but the pirates who were on the lookout would not look for them. There is no satellite positioning or aircraft reconnaissance in such a large South China Sea. Where can they find them?Those who remained in the lair were not polite to them.

Huang Sheng has leading insights and has played pirates several times, so he has rich experience.

It is impossible for pirates to float on the sea all day, they always have to return to their lairs, all pirates have a home port, and most of them are cunning rabbits and three caves, and there are hidden refuges that only a few confidantes know about.

Huang Sheng could not know all the pirates' dens, but after interrogating thousands of prisoners of Zheng Yiguan and through mass movements, the Huang family had already known about the pirates' dens nearby.

The next step is for the lion to fight the rabbit. I don't know if Zheng Yiguan managed to escape and return to the Dayuan Gang base?

Huang Sheng decided to deliberately keep the lair known to Zheng Yiguan from attacking, but swallowed all the pirate lairs entrenched in the Penghu Islands.

Not doing Zheng Yiguan at this time is preparing to split them internally. Zheng Yiguan's strength has been damaged, and he has lost [-]% of his troops and warships. Meet Yisiqian.

However, if the Daming Navy presses forward step by step, the pirates, who are about to fall apart, will instead unite and fight against each other when the soldiers are in danger.

Because officers and soldiers are born enemies of bandits, they will naturally seek common ground while reserving differences and kill the common enemy first.

Now the Huang family's new warships are only seven, plus the remodeled warships and Li Guozhu's subordinates can fight with them, but the battle damage will be great, and the result of death is what Huang Sheng does not want to see.

Regardless of the loss of one's own strength or the heavy losses of Zheng Yiguan's pirate group, it is unacceptable. How can the pirates in the South China Sea be wiped out?
At present, I am not mainly engaged in the management of the South China Sea. In Liaodong, Jiannu, the greatest enemy of the Han nationality, is tossing around, and I have no energy to control the South China Sea in a short time.

Wouldn't it be in vain for the Dutch, Portuguese, Spaniards, etc. Xiyi to lose their troops and beat Zheng Yiguan's pirate group into a slump?
Moreover, the strength of many great pirates should not be underestimated. Although the pirate leaders Li Kuiqi, Zhong Bin, Liu Xiang, Yang Liu, Yang Qi, Guo Huaiyi, He Bin, etc. are Zheng Yiguan Shibazhi's alliance brothers.

But their organizational structure is loose, and they are all pirate leaders who are leading the way. Which one is the one who is willing to be inferior to others?Zheng Yiguan saw that he had lost his overwhelming deterrence of force, and he believed that as soon as foreign troubles were eliminated, internal troubles would appear.

The purpose of Huang Sheng's fight against pirates this time is to rob, mainly to seize ships and capture prisoners to enhance his own strength.There are so many gold and silver treasures in the pirate's lair, and there are many slaves, let all these wealth be donated to the development of the Huang family!

In the "Liaodong" war room, each sand table is as realistic as a bonsai. These sand tables are the works of Huang's family officers and young musketeers in the past [-] days.

The ratio of mountains and rivers is based on the confessions of many pirate prisoners. After the successful production, the prisoners will confirm the modification. Which sand table is made according to the confessions of which prisoners are recorded.

These captives were warned that if the Ming army attacked and found that the mountains and rivers at the attack site did not match the information they provided, what awaited them would be execution in a hurry.

If it is accurate and provides relatively accurate information on the defense of the pirate nests, the Ming army will recruit them to serve as the official army after the attack is successful, and receive and resettle their family members.

When the sand table was first made, the pirates who provided the data had no objections after reading it.

However, Huang Dongshan, who was wearing the uniform of a fourth-rank military officer, announced loudly: If the data provided by the pirate captives is wrong, they will be cut into pieces.

Huang Dongshan, who announced the regulations on rewards and punishments, was immediately blocked by pirates kneeling on the ground. They all asked Mr. Huang to stay, and asked him to lead his subordinates to carefully revise some imperfections in the sand table they jointly participated in making.

The pirate captives changed from being indifferent at the beginning to trembling. They were really afraid that because their information was inaccurate, the Ming army would take revenge on them after being deflated, and they might really chop them up.

The soldiers of the Huang family followed the patriarch and learned extremely smartly one by one. They first encouraged the captives to provide information, the more the better without preconditions, and then slowly perfected it. Finally, they showed their fangs and made the pirate captives responsible for their actions.

Many pirates casually talked about the situation that they didn't know at first, but they got into trouble, and now they have to think hard and try to be accurate, but they are not sure in the end.

In order not to be caught by the Ming army, they began to expose others, because they knew who among the Ming army prisoners had worked with them here. This is the genius of inciting the masses to fight against the masses.

The Huang family obtained an absolutely accurate map and sand table without any effort, and Bing Qi's deduction is of course twice the result with half the effort.

The first target chosen was one of the Eighteen Pirates who surrendered to Zheng Yiguan, the Guo Huaiyi pirate gang entrenched in Xiaomenyu, Penghu Islands.

This kid has more than [-] large and small warships. He used to be one of the partners of Li Guozhu's old man Li Dan. He nominally obeyed Li Dan's orders and had been operating in Xiaomenyu for more than ten years. He was a medium-sized pirate gang.

He started everything for his own interests. He was the first to recognize anyone who was powerful in the South China Sea as the boss. He belonged to a pirate leader who had no pursuit, no position, and no ambition.

It is estimated that Jianu will be the first to kneel and lick when he becomes powerful.After all, the pirates are not the imperial army. Their affiliation is loose, and they usually do their own things. Only when there is a big business, do so-and-so as the boss.
