Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 111
When Tang Ning made drastic reforms in Huizhou Prefecture, he turned into a new sailor of the Pirates of the Caribbean, wreaking havoc in the waters of Wanli Shitang, focusing on the Dutch's ships and capturing them one after another.

As long as it is a Dutch ship targeted by Caribbean pirates, it is almost impossible to escape. The best end is to be robbed with people and the ship, and the worst end is to be sunk and feed the fish.

Pirates of the Caribbean will not sink the ship unless it is absolutely necessary. After all, there are so many good things on board.

Ye Dacheng and Huang Hai agreed to return in one month.

The one-month period has passed, and Ye Dacheng has not returned yet. Two days later, Huang Hairu became a little anxious. When he was about to report the news to Fucheng, he finally learned that the fleet was returning.

After Ye Dacheng came back, Huang Hairu found out that the return date was delayed because of the storm.

Fortunately, the storm was not very big. Several ships were damaged and more than a dozen people were injured. It was fortunate that there were no other major losses.

After counting the harvest, both of them were overjoyed.

Ye Dacheng couldn't hide the joy in his heart and said: "Haha, it's better to grab things quickly, it's really fun."

"Arrange the supplies today, take care of the prisoners, then take a good night's rest, and return to Fucheng tomorrow." Ye Dacheng ordered.

"Okay." Huang Hairu agreed very much.

There is an intelligence station established by Xiaowu in Nan'ao, and important news will be reported to Fucheng as soon as possible.

In the evening, Tangning heard the news that Ye Dacheng had returned with a fruitful experience, and was very happy.

During this period of time, Tang Ning's rectification and reform in Huizhou Prefecture were relatively smooth, and the credit of Zhang Tinggang, the prefect of Huizhou, was indispensible.

After Tangning entered the city, he seemed to accept his fate very quickly and corrected his attitude.

During the whole process, he did not raise any objections, and fully cooperated with Tangning's actions. He often rushed to the forefront, as if he had become Tangning's little follower.

This surprised Tangning a bit.

Not long after entering Chaozhou Mansion, Tangning asked Xiao Wu to arrange for people to infiltrate Huizhou Mansion and collected a lot of information.

As the magistrate of Huizhou, Zhang Tinggang's intelligence is naturally indispensable. Although this person is of average ability, he is still diligent, and he has not been found searching for famous fats and ointments, which is really rare.

Because of this, Zhang Tinggang's fate must be much better than that of Chaozhou prefect Yang Qiu.

At this time, Yang Qiu, the prefect of Chaozhou, had already been taken over by Tangning, and the power was basically taken over by Song Yingsheng, the prefect. Yang Qiu didn't complain at all, and he didn't dare to complain.

The reason why Yang Qiu was not replaced directly was because Tangning didn't want to make things too ugly.

After all, Yang Qiu was the magistrate recognized by the Hongguang court, so it was really inappropriate to directly replace a magistrate of the fourth rank.

Some face on the bright side still needs to be given.

After finishing the preliminary affairs of Huizhou Mansion, Tangning left Huizhou Mansion and returned to Chaozhou Mansion.

But before leaving, he gave Zhang Tinggang a task, which was to cooperate with the new army to wipe out all the bandits and robbers in Huizhou Mansion.

In the past, this task would have been very arduous, and even impossible to complete, but after Tang Ning's general army entered Huizhou Mansion, the situation changed completely.

Many bandits and thieves who knew the news ran away before the new army took action.

Because they knew that Tangning would encircle and suppress them in the future, because Chaozhou Mansion was a clear example.

They didn't expect that Tangning, who was also a bandit, would show no mercy to her former comrades.

As long as there are bandit dens with lives in their hands, they will be wiped out without mercy, and they will not even be given a chance to surrender.

The new army is not those idiots. No matter how easy it is to defend the bandit den, it is impossible to stop it.

The only chance of survival is to escape from the sphere of influence of the new army as quickly as possible before the new army makes a move.

And those who gathered a crowd to conspire to make trouble quickly fell apart.

Because after knowing that the new army was coming, the people below had almost fled.

The poor people originally wanted to live a stable life. Now that Huizhou Mansion has been ruled by Mr. Tang, Huizhou Mansion will be the next Chaozhou Mansion. So what's the point of rebelling?
Moreover, the new army is so powerful that if they rebel against Mr. Tang, they are looking for death, so what kind of rebellion are they going to do?

This is the reputation and prestige that Tangning has created, and it has already been revealed.

Not long after Tangning returned to Chaozhou City, Claudia got the news. While feeling annoyed, she let out a sigh and planned to find Tangning again tomorrow.

However, before the next day, what happened that afternoon stunned the Portuguese.

The mules and horse-drawn carts filled with new soldiers escorted them in through the south gate. An hour later, there were still a steady stream of mules and horse-drawn carts continuing to drive into the city. Every new army soldier's face was full of pride. smile.

Don't think about it, these mules and carriages must be loaded with various supplies, but no one knows where the new army suddenly got so many supplies.

Until the end, many onlookers seemed to understand that it was looted from those foreigners.

Because at the back of this long line, there are still foreign barbarians in a panic, similar to the red-haired ghosts who were captured into the city last time.

It didn't take long for news to spread that the new army had dispatched naval forces to attack their merchant ships in order to punish the red-haired ghosts who had sneaked up on them. These captives and supplies were the harvest during this period.

This was obviously an act of piracy, but after hearing the news, the people in Fucheng not only did not have the slightest fear or anxiety, but were filled with pride in their hearts.

There is no one who does not want to protect his army from being strong, and no one does not want to protect his army from being tough.

A grudge must be avenged, and an indescribable joy filled everyone's heart.

Claudia, who heard the news, was both excited and unable to sit still.

The excitement is because the new army has hit the Dutch hard, and the Portuguese are very happy to see it all.

She couldn't sit still because she knew that the Dutch would definitely be even more unable to sit still after being hit like this.

Moreover, the Dutch still have a large number of captives in the hands of the new army, and the route has been plundered by the new army, so they will definitely send people to negotiate with the new army quickly.

Claudia believed that as long as the Dutch were willing to pay enough, they would not only be able to bring back the captives, but it would not be impossible to regain the friendship of the new army.

Because in this world, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. The biggest threat to the new army now is not the Dutch, but the north.

In order to avoid fighting on two fronts, it is not impossible for the new army to resolve the conflict with the Dutch, but it is very possible.

After all, the new army did not suffer any losses from the Dutch, so there was no unresolved hatred.

With this unexpected incident, Claudia immediately began to discuss with the think tanks around her, preparing to change her negotiation strategy.

Those Dutch captives were put under custody and taken care of, and what awaited them next would naturally become hard labor.

All the materials returned with a full load were escorted to the playground where the new army was trained, and they had to be broken down into different categories.

Sugar, deerskin, venison, antlers, rattan, rice, dutch metal.

Medicines, spices, pepper, amber, sackcloth, cotton, silk, pottery, gold, and all kinds of things are really available.

These materials, the new army can use it to keep for themselves, and if there is a market in Daming, they will turn to introspection and sell through the chamber of commerce.

Otherwise, it can be traded to the Portuguese.

So everything has its own place, and there will be no waste, which is really happy.
