At the end of the Ming Dynasty, I freely traveled through Yangshen

Chapter 175 Shachuan Gang, Shen Tingyang

……

Tianjin Acropolis, on January 17, the 24th year of Chongzhen reign of the Ming Dynasty, it suddenly started raining heavily.

The heavy rain came so suddenly and violently, as if it was going to wash away all the bloody smell that had accumulated in the city in the past two days.

Twenty or thirty miles away from Weidong in Tianjin, on the rough Wei River, a hundred sand ships sailed forward. The leader was a ship ten feet long and two feet wide. There were forty long oars on both sides of the ship. Centipede warship on water.

A man dressed as a Confucian scholar held an umbrella and stood on the bow of the ship. The rain wet his Confucian shirt, but the man didn't care at all. Instead, he looked at the Tianjin Acropolis appearing in front of him with shining eyes.

This man was Shen Tingyang, a civil servant of the Ming Dynasty who was worshiped by the Imperial Academy as the manager of shipping and Liaodong payroll services. At the same time, he was also the leader of the Beiyang Shachuan Gang.

His status is well-established, both in officialdom and in the green forest. In Nanzhili, this is a master who is not easily manipulated by others. He is a wealthy businessman operating in the Beiyang sea area. He is composed of Fujian Zheng Zhilong and others. The figure who is far away from Shiba Zhi has guns and cannons at his disposal, and he is a powerful man.

The officialdom in the late Ming Dynasty was very complicated, and all kinds of powerful elites were shining in this era. An untouchable figure like Shen Tingyang was in the officialdom, and Zheng Zhilong, who was ordered to stay by the imperial court, both maintained the imperial rule. The Shachuan Gang was in Wanli. During the Korean War, these people were the people who transported food to the court.

Therefore, the Shachuan Gang was also very popular in the North Korean generation, including when Mao Wenlongpi Island stabbed Jinjuhua, the Shachuan Gang also made great efforts.

A big man with bare feet and a raincoat walked up to Shen Tingyang and pointed to the shore in front of him, "Chief Helmsman, look at the front, those are not my people from the Ming Dynasty!"

Shen Tingyang came to his senses and saw a group of soldiers in raincoats dragging two small boats on the embankment of the south bank of the Wei River. Among them, there were also people holding a red flag with black characters. Chuang Wang Banner.

"The rogues are besieging the city!"

When Shen Tingyang saw this posture, he knew what was happening. He immediately sneered and said to the people below, "Brothers, all lit up the muskets in the cabin and are ready to kill the enemy!"

This is the Centipede warship. A thick wooden baffle on the deck surrounds the cabin. There are many muzzles for shooting in the baffle. It is raining so heavily outside, and the gunman only needs to be in the cabin. If you ignite it inside, you will have to fight hard!
……

"Mr. Qian, will the Navy come tomorrow?"

In the Dashun Army, the soldiers who were in charge of searching for ships along the Wei River in the city yelled at Du Zhixu's subordinates, and Du Laosan shouted, which caught Du Laosan's attention.

Du Laosan is a Qianzong-level figure, but because he was a demoted general of the Ming Army in the Dashun Army, he was sent to do this hard job. Now he is full of resentment, and he doesn't care if his subordinates say this. Sulking, he looked ahead instead.

"Is this a merchant ship?"

"Mr. Qian, it shouldn't be as simple as a merchant ship. The sedimentary posture above should be a grain team!"

"Ah? Food team, that's about to happen! We have to stop them!"

Du Laosan laughed and shouted to the people next to him, "Brothers, you all have good guns that can be fired on rainy days. Let's scare them first so that we can seize the food above!"

"okay!"

The rest of the people heard the words and agreed. Just as they finished speaking, bang bang bang!
Dozens and hundreds of muskets rang out, and dozens of Du Laosan's subordinates fell down at once. It turned out that it was the Shachuan Gang who were manipulating the Turtle-Dove Foot Fire Gun in the dark and opened fire.

"Damn it! Get down!" Du Laosan shouted. He got down first, and then cursed while lying down, "There are hidden holes in this boat, and some people above are firing guns. Brothers, get down, mother." Don’t say goodbye!”

"Hahaha!"

Hearty laughter came from the sand boat, "You bandits are really as timid as rats. If you still have some skills, come and fight with us!"

The voice he spoke was extremely arrogant, as if he was deliberately arousing the anger of these people.

"you!"

A Da Shun soldier was so angry that he stood up and wanted to fire a musket. As a result, there was a crackling sound, and dozens or hundreds of fire muskets hit the Da Shun soldier who got up. The Da Shun soldier was instantly killed. After being beaten into a sieve, he fell down with a scream and no longer lived.

"Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, get down, they won't be able to hit you!"

Du Laosan broke out in a cold sweat. He was afraid that someone like him, who was still angry, would die, so he immediately shouted to the people around him, "Don't mess with them, they just want to use black guns to kill people, so be careful." !”

Sure enough, after Du Laosan opened his mouth, Dashunjun and the others became more honest and lay quietly on the ground, waiting for the people from the Shachuan Gang to pass by.

Because if you lie down, you really can't hit, and if you get up, you will die.

"They are all cowards!"

"The great shun soldiers are nothing more than that!"

Ridiculous laughter came from the boat, and then the people on the boat gradually moved away, entered the Wei River, and headed towards Tianjin Wei.

After waiting for a long time, the people in the Shun Army dared to raise their heads and looked at the fleet of the Shachuan Clan that had gone away. Du Laosan cursed angrily, then took his people back and reported the matter to Du Zhexu and Li Guo.

……

Tianjin Wei has basically moved once in the past two days. Regardless of whether it is willing or not, it has moved to the wider world. Tianjin Wei is an important military industry town with many craftsmen. It has the blacksmiths and firecrackers and cannon makers that Zhu Cixiang urgently needs. , these people entered the world and were assigned to the foundry bureau under Tang Ruowang.

Now everyone and their apprentices are working overtime to make firecrackers for Zhu Cixiang. People from Tianming Commando and Tianming Army are practicing using firecrackers and how to operate cannons. But in this era, everyone is not very good at mathematics. , The use of artillery is also a technical job, and those who can operate artillery are highly qualified.

When placing people into the Great World, Zhu Cixiang also recruited troops from the Tianjin Guards. The Tianming Army expanded to more than 4 people, while the people from the Green Camp were doing hard work in the Great World. The pay from the Green Camp was not much, and only A few coins a month would be a bit sad to exchange in the Ming Dynasty, but in the vast world, here in the Izumo Kingdom, you can still make ends meet.

At this time, Zhu Cihong was visiting some sergeants who had just woken up in the Yuantai Hospital, Beijing City, Tianjin Wei, and doctors collected along the way.

Although these sergeants had just woken up, everyone could see the murderous aura and strong evil aura in their bodies, so the accompanying personnel all held guns and were ready to shoot at any time.

Pan Changjing, the commander of the Daqianjing Navy, was looking at everything unfamiliar. In fact, his injuries were not serious and he woke up very early. However, this place was too unfamiliar and he did not dare to act rashly. He had to continue to pretend to be faint. Only recently did he dare to Awake.

　The next few chapters will be about Journey to the West.
