The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 376
Chu'er and the maid she brought were girls from the north, who had never seen the gracefulness of Jiangnan before, and were immediately attracted by the charming scenery of the island, and pestered Huang Sheng to lead them to play.

They came to Huang's house to pay money to rebuild Chaoguo Temple, which was built in the second year of Jin Tianfu after the Five Dynasties, and offered incense and wished.I came to the beach to play in the water again, and then I went to climb Moxin Mountain.

The rolling hills and emerald greens are indeed so beautiful that even Huang Sheng, a common man, feels relaxed and happy facing the sea.

The factories and houses built by the Huang family are surrounded by mountains and rivers and refuse to occupy the limited arable land. The [-] mu of farmland on Daishan Island has already produced output. In April, less than [-] shi of wheat was harvested.

The [-] mu of land in Zhoushan was obtained relatively late, and the wheat had not had time to sow. Now the ditches have been built and rice has been planted. Many paddy fields have less yield than ripe land.

Huang Shengguan took care not to deforestation and reclaim land. Daishan Island can only have [-] mu of farmland, which already accounts for [-]% of the total area of ​​Daishan Island.

After all, the direction of development here is industry and commerce. In the future, the tourism industry will be developed when the world is peaceful. After the population surges, it does not matter if the food cannot be self-sufficient. The convenience of purchasing by sea is the only way.

Gu San learned that the mistress was with the head of the family, so he came to see her right away. Gu San has been busy in Daishan Island, and has never met Chu Er, the big lady of the Huang family.

Knowing that this limping strong man is Gu Linger's father, Chu'er would not let him kneel down, politely helped him up, and told Gu San that after the master Ding You period, he would give Linger's sister the status.

Seeing that the mistress is so close and reassuring, Gu San feels happy for her daughter's cultivation.

The fleet used these five days for maintenance on Daishan Island. Huang Sheng rarely relaxed. He accompanied Chu Er to the beach with He Xiang. Regardless of his status as a court official, Huang Sheng went swimming in the big underpants that He Xiang sewed by himself. .

A group of girls followed suit, and Bai Shengsheng's little feet left a series of footprints on the beach.It is impossible for them to swim in the sea in the three-point style like the girls of later generations, and they only dare to step on the sea water with their little feet to feel cool.

There was no one else here, and the soldiers of the Huang family all went to the beach on the other side of the island to swim and relax tacitly.

Under the parasol made of canvas, Huang Sheng played with Chu'er's flamboyant feet again, He Xiang and the other girls giggled coquettishly.

Although Chu'er blushed, she didn't care about it, she enjoyed her husband's caress openly, the mistress of a big family is like this, she doesn't shy away from the maids and servants at home when she makes out with the master, sometimes she even lets them push her back to cheer up... …

Sailing from Huangjiawan Island all the way to Zhoushan Island was in the near sea, and no pirates were found at all. Some of the merchant ships that came and went looked like official ships of Ming Dynasty, so they didn't have the nerve to attack.

Huang Mingdao made countless robbery plans, but he didn't implement them even once, and he was extremely depressed.

After sailing from Daishan Island again, he decided not to go near the sea. The commander-in-chief of the navy, Huang Mingdao, wanted to see if he would encounter merchant ships going to Japan or Ryukyu if he was farther from the mainland.

Gradually, there were gains. In a few days, two Zhuyin ships and three Galen ships were forced to surrender. There were no casualties because there was no battle.

The two Zhuyin boats that made a fortune abroad were unknowingly surrounded by more than a dozen warships of the Huang family. Their first reaction was to run away, but soon they found that their boat was too fast to run away at all.

Later, the Huang's warship fired warning shots from outside their artillery range, and dozens of artillery fires fired at once, destroying the courage of the two Zhuyin ships to resist. They chose to surrender very wisely, because they found that the opponent was not pirates but the Ming army. , I saved my luck.

Unexpectedly, the Ming army also plundered, but they didn't kill people indiscriminately, leaving their lives behind.

The three Galen ships were not captured at the same time, they were all opportunists who wanted to make a fortune, they didn't even have artillery, and they relied entirely on their adventurous spirit and speed to make money from the fire. When they saw the speed and artillery fire of the Ming army, they knew It was impossible to make a fortune, so I immediately decided to surrender and try to save my life.

Huang Mingdao got five ships without killing, and might receive ransom from the family members of the captives, which finally made Huang Mingdao feel more comfortable.

At the end of May, there had been no prey for three days, and suddenly the lookout sent a report of a fleet of twelve Zhuyin ships.

With big business to do, the Huang family participated in the roundup except for the flagship 'Liaodong' on which the owner of the Huang family was riding.

Sailing in formation, this team did not expect to be surrounded by a large number of warships. They believed that the ship was strong and the guns were strong and refused to catch them without a fight, and they ignored the threat of force from the Ming army.

The twelve Zhuyin boats lined up in geese and rushed at full speed towards the Huang family's warships that had already formed an encirclement. They were going to fight until one of the Zhuyin boats was destroyed and knocked out of the encirclement.

Seeing that Huang Mingdao had finally met a hard bone, he became interested. Since they didn't want to give the other side a way to survive, they had no choice but to fire a salvo of artillery and use force to seize the ship.

The "Yangzhou" battleship he was on was already horizontal, and six other small battleships such as "Jiangyin" had already been lined up in a line according to the battle regulations of the Huang Family Navy, almost end to end.

This is the first time that the battleship formation battle method has experienced actual combat. Zhuyin Ship, who was desperately charging into the battle, was ravaged by 21 rifled guns one nautical mile away, and was joined by 63 smoothbore guns when it approached [-] steps.

The other party was beaten terribly and had no power to fight back. The Zhuyin ships that took the lead in the attack lost a single sail, and there was not even a single survivor on the deck.

At this time, dozens of Huang's No. [-] lucky boat and straw boat also surrounded them.

The Zhuyin boat was surrounded by groups. It stands to reason that the disparity in strength is already obvious. The Japanese should know that there is no possibility of escape, but this group of Japanese is very tenacious.

As a last resort, the Huang family launched a boarding battle. They couldn't escape anyway, so they cleaned up one by one.

Later, Huang Mingdao finally realized that the Japanese were going to rely on the powerful fighting power of their warriors, knowing that their own artillery could not defeat the Ming army, so he waited for the Ming army to jump in and seize the ship.

They want something good.Prepare to win in hand-to-hand combat, and strive to capture some Ming soldiers who jumped from the gang as hostages, so that they can negotiate terms with the Ming army.

It's a pity that things backfired. The Ming army didn't see it. They were also Japanese ronin who jumped up to fight hand-to-hand. Their martial arts were no worse than them, and their equipment was better than them. There is one more point that makes people feel righteous indignation. This is not a fair contest. The Ming army is constantly playing cold shots. .

This is a duel between the Japanese ronin and the samurai. Fortunately, the Huang family adopted a local superior force solution to seize the ships one by one. Two new warships pinched one of the opponents, and the musketeers blocked the opponent's firepower. help.

The Japanese, who wanted to make a comeback, had nothing to take advantage of. They waved their pheasant swords and charged forward with blood and courage. After a burst of crackling gunshots, more than half of them fell down. The opponents used standard Japanese to persuade them to give up resistance and surrender immediately, while waving the same With the pheasant knife, he slashed and killed a samurai who got close to them by chance.

This kind of plot was repeated. When half of the Zhuyin ship was successfully captured, the other party surrendered collectively when they saw that the situation was over.

After interrogating the prisoners of war, they learned that their leader was a Japanese merchant named Hamada Yahei. Unfortunately, he was beaten into a sieve by a flowering bullet and could not speak.
