open sea

Chapter 154
The composition of Xu Jinmei's pirates is very mixed, the same composition as the pirates everywhere along the coast, mixed with Ming, Japanese, North Korean, Ma and other people, and even a few Franji people.

Haojingao was devastated by the First World War. The four heavy artillery pieces of the southern fort were dismantled. I don’t know how they carried them down; , all of this is due to the Chen Mu fleet.

As for the surrounding shops and squares, the land and rocks were cracked by shells, it was the old Duolu of the artillery factory.

More than 100 Japanese pirates were caught, some escaped from the wild beach and fled into the sea, and small groups of pirates also sneaked into the mountains. Deng Zilong was leading people to pursue them.

"Pick out the Ming people." Chen Mu didn't have a good face, and waved impatiently: "The rest of the beheads, together with these corpses, find a piece of nearby and many reefs in the sea and throw them on. Yes, there are also Ming people in the corpses." People, beheaded, go to Xishan to dig a big pit and bury them, and send their heads outside Guangcheng."

"Pass down the order that those who robbed the war looters and those who harassed the shops went to Xishan to bury themselves as soon as possible, accusing them of rewarding and concealing the same crime."

Fu Yuan and other hundreds of households were ordered to go down to collect the spoils. After taking two steps, Fu Yuan turned back and asked in a low voice, "Qianhu, the property that the Japanese pirates robbed?"

"You mean the Japanese pirates' war profit?"

The corners of Chen Mu's mouth turned up a little, but he recovered, and said, "Don't let people say that our military discipline is not good, you should understand all those things, and give them half to make up for the loss."

The casualties of the banner army supported by artillery were still small, but Li Dan and Huayu suffered heavy casualties. Even Huayu himself was shot in the arm by Japanese pirates during the battle.

Chen Mu originally wanted Huayu to heal his wounds at the mission hospital in Haojingao, but before Huayu was sent to the hospital in the east, Chen Mu sent someone to recall him quickly, and sent a boat to send him to Xiangshan, where he was treated by old man Cheng, a military doctor. heal.

Because when the prisoner was beheaded and executed, an Italian working for the Portuguese made a request in unproficient Chinese to Shao Tingda who was in charge of the execution. dedicated to his master.

In addition to him, there are a few Francine men eager to try with square scarves. These people are all nobles.

This matter is not exclusive to the nobles, and those poor people who work for the nobles are even more fanatical. It's just that a bloody battle has just ended, and they are full of fear of Chen Mu, the "butcher" in their eyes, so they dare not do anything.

Human corpses have long been a panacea in the Western world.

This not only reminded Chen Mu of the horrific impressions of doctors in the Middle Ages who saw their legs with pain in their legs and beheaded their heads with headaches. The person killed by an excellent doctor in the West may not be as good as Chen Mu's two years of working with Japanese pirates.

Hua Yu, who was sent to the Xiangshan Institute, didn't know it, because a small lead pellet shot into his arm and didn't hurt the bones made him walk through the gate of hell.

Those Frangji nobles were driven away by the flag army sent by Shao Tingda, and the flag army surrounded the meeting square for security, so that the execution inside could be carried out properly. The long knife and sharp ax between the necks also seemed to cause them severe pain.

Some people are silent and trembling like chaff, some swear and pretend to be bold, and some raise their heads and laugh to cover up their cowardice, but when they are about to die, no one can truly calm down.

Chen Mu patted Wei Balang's head, Xiao Baye was wearing Japanese pirate armor, but under Chen Mu's strict order, all unnecessary things had been removed from the armor, and it was covered with a thin military uniform.He also didn't allow Master Ba to wear the iron pocket that looked very funny, Guan Yuangu specially asked Guan Yuangu to wear a certain iron flap helmet for Xiao Ba, and he looked quite energetic.

It was right to give him the Japanese armor. When this dead child was growing up, he was eating well now. In less than half a year, the iron armor from the Japanese pirates seemed a bit small again. Now he is almost close to Fu Yuan. It is estimated that next year Wei Balang should be as tall as Fu Yuan.

"Go and tell those captives, I want them to know all the news about Japanese pirates at sea, I will release three people, whoever speaks first will die later, and whoever speaks more will live." Chen Mu pointed to Wei Balang and said: "Yes If you say it, take it to the side and interrogate it separately, ask for the opposite statement, if the two are different, both will be executed; if no one wants to say it, take this."

Chen Mu asked for a matchlock from the Banner Army who was on guard, pulled out his short saber and cut a few equal threads, handed it to Balang, and said, "Burn a piece, and send one to be beheaded."

"Where is Zeng Ben, how does he plan to attack Guangzhou, what's going on with Guanghaiwei, and what other plans do the pirates have."

Chen Mu turned his head away, "Go ahead and ask these questions."

No matter how many lives and deaths he has seen, he can't avoid hurting others from affecting his mood. Even if he knows that these people died to eliminate harm for the people, he can't avoid making him feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.

But his bannermen are very happy, because they are going to get rich.

The spoils of this battle were extremely rich. After Chen Mu ordered to punish a few banner troops who hid without authorization and snatched the spoils of war, he issued an order to the entire army to allocate hundreds of small boats of various types seized from the spoils to their troops. Yu, in addition, when the war profits are sold, there will be two points to the banner troops participating in the battle.

Some of the rest were used as pensions for the deceased in the Xiangshan Institute, and some were managed by the bureaucrats of the Guangzhou government. Chen Mu estimated that [-] to [-]% of them would be able to stay in the Xiangshan Thousand Households Institute.

This is a huge sum of money, not to mention that he also got two blessed ships that were riddled with holes after being bombarded, as well as a large amount of ordnance.

The centipede boat followed Huayu back to Xiangshan, and reloaded the gunpowder.Even if it's just a small cannon like the Francophone used to kill and injure people, the results of the bombardment are devastating, but the consumption of gunpowder is quite huge, and more than 400 catties of gunpowder were consumed in just one battle.

Looking back, I will go to the Guangzhou government to allocate gunpowder.

Discussed with the Frangji nobles of Haojing about letting them fund the repair of the port. Of course, wrangling against Zhanli was inevitable in the process, but they really didn't make much effort, and they were not tough when they spoke.

The only old Duolu who had a good impact on the battle situation did not suffer any losses. After Chen Mu privately asked him to build two [-]-jin bronze cannons for Xiangshan, he laughed from ear to ear.

Of course, the price should be more favorable, especially when Chen Mu produces gunmetal materials.

He didn't know what to do with the copper in his hand.

When Wei Balang put the information he obtained under pressure on the desk of Chen Mu who was resting in the city hall, the face of the dead boy was unprecedentedly serious.

"Qianhu, the people who attacked Guanghaiwei were more than 600 Japanese who crossed the sea, all of them were Japanese. They were accepted last autumn, and they took advantage of Zeng Yiben to attack Guanghaiwei City, and they did not fight anywhere else."

Wei Balang said: "Zeng Yiben, no one knows where he is. Xu Jinmei came out of the island by himself, but they all know that Zeng Yiben sent people to various places to recruit soldiers for help. This thief still wants to attack Guangzhou."
