The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 460 Looting Guangdong
A few days later, a huge fleet arrived at Jinmen Port. Huang Mingdao made no secret of this operation, and frankly conveyed the Patriarch's plan to Xu Xinsu.

Xu Xinsu was originally a big merchant and a pirate. In his eyes, the imperial court was just a bargaining chip that he could use. After hearing about the plan, he obeyed the order and cooperated with him without hesitation.

He learned that such an arrangement was to gain a foothold in Annan, the hometown of Ming Dynasty, and he didn't have the slightest resistance to Huang Sheng's disobedience. On the contrary, he had more expectations for Master Huang.

He was flattered to see that Mr. Huang had nothing to hide from him, and immediately expressed his loyalty to Mr. Huang, and would try his best to facilitate this matter. Yu Zigao had a close relationship with him, and he was a coward, so asking him to write emergency help every day would be a piece of cake .

Whether Xu Xinsu is a loyal minister depends on the strength of the Huang family. This shrewd maritime merchant is actually betting on both ends.

If Huang Sheng can fly a dragon in the sky, he is one of the earliest ministers who follow the dragon. It would be harmless if he didn't have that. Anyway, he will soon become a third-rank guerrilla general of the Ming Dynasty.

The fleet continued to sail southwest, and Guo Huaiyi, who aroused the desire to plunder, volunteered to be a vanguard officer. Huang Mingdao sent a second echelon led by Wang Lianfa to lead the "Huaxia Civilization" with twelve light battleships to follow.

The great pirate Guo Huaiyi, who had been suffocated for more than three years, returned to the South China Sea. With seven cruisers and a dozen sentinel boats, he felt like entering the sea like a dragon.He is too familiar with the waterway here, and the previous scenes flooded his mind.

This kid is not a good bird either. In the past, they didn't dare to snatch the deck boat of the Haojingao Folang Robot, but today he is completely different, aggressively rushing to the route in and out of Haojingao.

This kid is really good at naval battles. He is completely different from other pirates. Guo Huaiyi was originally a stingy pirate. He was afraid of death and big losses. He chose naval battles only after planning. .

His cautious command style just catered to the consistent policy of the master of the Huang family. Taking reducing casualties as the preferred attack plan was unanimously praised by all participating captains.

After an overwhelming sea battle of encirclement and annihilation, three echelons of Huang's warships came to more than [-] ships. Under the long-distance precision strikes of rifled guns, the seven deck warships discovered by the Frang robot were not capable of fighting at all. .

Most of the Xiyi people are aware of current affairs, and everyone knows how to surrender and save their lives. Seven warships were seized, and the twenty or so merchant ships they escorted all became Huang's private property. The so-called deck ship is actually a warship designed It is only a large Galen boat, and its displacement is larger than that of the No. [-] Fuchuan.

The old pirate's attacks were accurate and ruthless, the Huang family gained a lot, and the casualties were very small. More than [-] Japanese ronin were injured when they jumped to join the gang, but only seven ronin were killed.

More than a thousand crew and sailors were arrested, half of them were Fulangji. Guo Huaiyi was experienced and did not abuse the captives. He asked Fulangji, who had the ability to redeem himself, to write a letter to Haojingao asking for a ransom, and gave him 100 gold. Two can fit one person.

No ransom?I'm sorry, the rules at sea are to be slaves, let's serve well on the warships one by one!This is the attitude towards Westerners. These French people have long been accustomed to the jungle, and generally do not resist and work obediently in exchange for food and fresh water.

Because Huang Sheng deliberately cultivated a sense of national honor, everyone in the Huang family's private soldiers looked down on Xiyi with a high attitude, and they all despised them for being dirty and smelly.

He also laughed at the people of Xiyi who considered fat women as beautiful.The West in this era really regards fat as beauty. You can see the fat on the belly of the naked beauties in the oil paintings of the Western era.

When Huang Mingdao came to Lingao Port, he didn't want to waste time. When the cargo ship was unloaded, he released all the warships to form seven raiding gangs. They blocked the Qiongzhou Strait with ease, and all the ships on the sea were captured.

Huang Dongshan offered a high price of one tael of silver per person per month and four buckets of rice, and persuaded the arrested fishermen and merchant sailors to come to Hainan Island to live. Some became trainee sailors and some became workers of ocean fishing vessels.

How difficult is it for fishermen to make a living in the wind and waves, and who doesn't yearn for a stable life?Almost no one was unwilling to accept the arrangement of the Huang family, and everyone happily welcomed the new life.

Guo Huaiyi arrogantly set up a pirate flag to harass the coast, and kept going ashore to coerce the common people, but the arrest of four or five thousand coastal civilians caused a shock in Guangdong, and the memorial was rushed to the capital from six hundred li like snowflakes.

The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi who was sitting in Zhaoqing was shocked. The Ming Dynasty did not have a governor in Guangdong and Guangxi, but the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi performed the duties of governor.

The Guangdong Navy only had dozens of warships, and the No. [-] Fuchuan-class warships had seven or eight ships. The guerrilla generals of the navy had no choice but to bite the bullet and attack under the threat of the governor.

Unexpectedly, Huang Mingdao had already received a report, and more than [-] warships were waiting, and the Ming army who fell into the encirclement had no will to fight.

They saw the gunfire show of the Guo Huaiyi pirate group, and chose to surrender knowing the current affairs. There was no bloodshed, and the Guangzhou Navy turned into a vassal army of the Huang family.

This is not surprising. Too many Ming soldiers have endured being forced to surrender by the barbaric foreign slaves, and they have to shave their heads and forget their ancestors. Of course, they will not resist now.Moreover, they also found that accepting the advancement and knowledge of their surrendered troops, they would not easily resist.

This is the virtue of most of the Ming army. They have no blood. They just serve as soldiers for food. History is almost rare.

The soldiers are insensitive and naturally collapsed for thousands of miles, so the great rivers and mountains of the Han people will fall into the hands of the Tungus savages, and the whole nation will be reduced to the slaves of ignorant beasts for more than two hundred years.

The Huang family has a way to deal with the surrender of the Ming Dynasty, and Huang Dongshan is a master of this method. The method is very simple, to screen out all the officers above the hundred generals, and then find out their servants. Since they surrendered voluntarily, they are not suitable for reeducation through labor.

Shang Muming of the propaganda team was still working in Yongping Mansion. This time, he did not come to South China Sea. Ruan Dan came, and he brought a hundred members. Lingao opened a training course for officers.

These Ming army officers and servants were not abused in the militarized management of the school, and they were guaranteed food, clothing and nutrition every day, and they did not need to be forced to work.

They are brainwashed while receiving training and learning every day. They have to analyze each other every night and review their gains and losses over the years of being officers and soldiers.

It is easier to deal with ordinary Ming soldiers. They serve as soldiers for food. The Huang family satisfied them, paid them in full, and distributed them to every soldier on time according to the treatment of the Huang family's heavy soldiers. These Ming soldiers were very grateful when they saw the money and food. Became an accomplice in attacking Daming.
