People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 302: Gold and silver jewelry worth more than million taels of silver were seized! More than four thousand pirates were captured!

The pirates looked at the black muzzle and were extremely frightened.

Just now, they had all seen that the Ming army had this kind of musket, which could kill their companions from a distance of three to four hundred meters.

Now that the distance is so close, a shot fired at him would probably pierce his heart. Who wouldn’t be afraid?

In the past, when I fought a war, no matter who lost or won, everyone went up with knives and spears. If I killed someone, I could see that I had killed him with my own sword.

But the weapons in Mingjun's hands were now so far away that they could kill him with one shot, which frightened these people to the extreme.

I was afraid that someone would shoot me if I wasn't careful.

So these pirates were very honest and fell to their knees under the threat of the Ming army's guns.

Then he shouted loudly, "Spare your life, my lords, spare your life, we have given up, we dare not resist any more!"

"Yes! We surrender, we all surrender."

Watching these surrendered pirates, Mingjun showed extra calmness at this time. He did not cheer as expected. He just looked at these people with eyes full of excitement.

The navy of the Ming Dynasty made a victory in its first attack on Nanyang. They were also uncontrollably excited.

But they still exercised great restraint.

The number of pirates who surrendered one after another actually reached as many as four to five thousand. Who would be unhappy?

Marquis Nanxiong got off the boat and came closer.

The first words they said when they came to this group of pirates were: "How many of you have been to our country, the Ming Dynasty?"

After saying this, the pirates who were shouting half-baked Ming Dynasty Mandarin immediately showed fear in their eyes.

If you have never been to the Ming Dynasty, why do you speak the official dialect of the Ming Dynasty?

Isn't this a simple matter?

Then the interpreter was also in front of them and shouted in words they could understand.

As this shout continued, these pirates were quite smart and knew that they were looking for the culprit.

In order to save their lives, some pirates immediately said loudly, "We have never been there, we have always been in Nanyang,

However, there are a few people who have been there, not many people, and we are willing to point them out. "

The translator told Marquis Nanxiong what to say.

I heard someone yelling among the pirate prisoners, and the words were unpleasant.

Although Marquis Nanxiong could not understand, it could be seen from their tone and demeanor that this group of people must be scolding their accomplices who betrayed them.

Soon, among the four thousand pirates, there were as many as five or six hundred who had been to the Ming Dynasty.

Marquis Nanxiong did not spare these people. Those who had been to the Ming Dynasty were directly tied up on the beach.

Then the Ming Navy put a gun to their heads and fired.

After looking at the more than five hundred pirates who had been to the Ming Dynasty, their heads were blown away, and the remaining pirates were frightened out of their wits one by one.

Looking at the musket in someone's hand so close, looking at the musket making a loud noise and emitting white smoke.

Seeing their companions' brains blooming like this, with brains all over the floor, the scene scared them so much that they almost peed.

These people were so frightened that they had no intention of resisting at all, they just wanted to survive.

After killing these pirates, Marquis Nanxiong said loudly, "I don't care who you are, as long as you have been to the Ming Dynasty and have been stained with the blood of my people in the Ming Dynasty, you will die."

When the naval officers heard this, they were extremely excited and shouted loudly: "Whoever goes to the Ming Dynasty will die!"

Then Nanxiong Hou led the navy officers and, under the leadership of the pirates, dug out all the gold and silver jewelry hidden on the island.

Chen Zuyi, a pirate, has been robbing families and homes in Nanyang for more than 20 years and has accumulated quite a lot of treasures.

There were so many pirates who had been busy for most of the day before they took out the box after box of gold, silver and jewelry hidden in the cave. More than a thousand boxes were neatly stacked on the beach.

Marquis Nanxiong opened the treasure chest and found that it was full of gold, silver, jewelry, jade, agate, jade and all kinds of rare antiques.

There are also some calligraphy and paintings, and even mink fur, ginseng, and some strange jewelry, gems, and jade artifacts from Southeast Asia.

The navy officers were all dazzled by what they saw, but no one thought about dividing the spoils on the spot.

Because on the day the navy was established, Chen Han listed many rules and regulations for the navy.

Although Lan Yu likes to place cronies into his army, it must be mentioned that he manages the army very strictly.

The Ming Navy had just been established, and Nanxiong Hou knew very well that if the precedent of dividing the spoils on the spot as soon as he saw the treasure was violated, it would be terrible. This team would definitely be difficult to lead in the future.

Of course, he also believed that Lan Yu, as a wise commander, would never lose to his soldiers.

So Marquis Nanxiong did not let everyone share the spoils, but lamented that Chen Zuyi made a lot of money from robbing families and homes.

Just these more than a thousand boxes of gold and silver jewelry may be worth tens of millions of taels of silver.

After the trophies and prisoners were loaded onto the ship, Marquis Nanxiong set sail, and after seven or eight days of hard work, he finally made it back to the waters of Ananguo in Nanyang.

At this time, Lan Yu and the others had already settled in Annan Country.

Annan Kingdom also designated a port specifically for Lan Yu and the others.

After the navy was stationed, Annan Kingdom took care of all the food and drinks.

Lan Yu even visited surrounding cities under the leadership of their envoys.

On this day, as soon as Lan Yu returned to the port, she received a secret letter from Marquis Nanxiong.

It is said that four thousand prisoners were captured and there were more than twenty pirate warships.

Ask if the plan can be carried out.

Lan Yu immediately wrote back and asked Marquis Nanxiong to implement the plan according to the plan.

The plan was to divide half of the four thousand pirate prisoners and let them drive ten warships to attack the port of Annan Kingdom.

The letter was quickly sent to Marquis Nanxiong who was stationed overseas.

After receiving the letter, Marquis Nanxiong immediately arranged for prisoners of war to carry out the plan.

The pirate captives were stunned after hearing this arrangement.

what happened?

Haven't we already been captured by the Ming Navy?

Why are we still allowed to attack the towns of Annan Kingdom?

However, being forced by the navy and knowing that their way back had been blocked by warships, they could only follow the navy's plan and sail the pirate ship forward.

Marquis Nanxiong even encouraged them. If they established military exploits on the shore, they could be given preferential treatment and even be allowed to join the navy.

The two thousand unlucky guys who were sent out at once really thought it was an opportunity and drove a warship to attack a city on the coast of Annan Kingdom.

Soon the Annan Navy received the news.

Annan's navy seemed extremely hasty when facing the pirates.

The main reason is that they did not expect that the Ming Navy was now stationed at a port not far from them.

Their naval generals were invited to the Ming Navy's residence to visit their advanced warships.

Everyone thought that under such circumstances, the pirates were crazy and would attack their own city, so they relaxed their defenses.

When they hurriedly responded to the challenge, the pirates were so furious that they killed more than a thousand soldiers of the Navy until they were running away.

The pirates were really working hard this time, thinking that the Ming Dynasty Navy really gave them a chance to make contributions, but this made Annan's navy...
