Chapter 65 The Portuguese Are Coming

() According to the urination of the Earth Lord, how can one see that one's own interests are being harmed?However, it also depends on whether the person you are facing is a rabbit or a bald man. Of course, it goes without saying if it is a magic whip.

"The division of ranks, the soldiers of the captured Ruan family were organized into the third battalion of the New Army, with a total of more than [-] people. With them as the vanguard, with the Iron Shoulders as the backup, the ranks commanded the Phoenix and Guard battalions. Follow up, advance eastward along the long wall built by the Ruan family, and conquer three cities within five days. Divide up the troops with iron shoulders to defend the city, and organize the surrendered troops from the three cities into the self-renewal army. It is estimated that within ten days, you can Arrive at the city of Hue and join forces with the lord. At that time, the lord governor will lead the sea and land armies to attack Hue, and the city will be destroyed in one fell swoop."

"In the first battle of Rili, more than [-] Portuguese were captured. They all said that they had laid down their weapons on their own. They belonged to an honorable surrender and should not be regarded as prisoners of war. According to the confession of their leader, they were hired by the Ruan family. There are gunsmiths, soldiers leaders, etc., who either cast cannons and ships for the Ruan family, or trained soldiers for the Ruan family. When our army assaulted, they gathered the cannons and sat on the ground with their hands folded. See, the Ruan family's jumping beams know how to employ people well..."

On the desk, an ancient copper censer was slowly burning incense into the room. Amidst the smoke, Li Shouhan looked at the paper jointly signed by Ye Qi and Wang Bao, which was sent by speedboat.

Picking up the Gaiwan tea, he took a sip very comfortably, picked up his pen, and wrote a reply on the paper, "The Phoenix and the Second Guards Battalion fought bravely, and they know how to win people's hearts and cherish human resources. It's so good." Written by Wang Bao [-]. The officers and soldiers under Ye Qi's troops will record their military merits once, and they will be assigned to the battalions under Ye Qi's troops. The method is very good. They sent people to He Tinh to cast cannons and build ships. Salaries were paid every month according to their skill level. The leader could go with the army and explain the use of military aircraft along the way. After conquering Hue , and then discuss how to deal with it.”

Putting down his pen and simply sorting out the documents on the table, Li Shouhan pushed open the hatch and walked to the deck.

The atmosphere on the deck is completely different from the atmosphere in the cabin. The sailors are nervously packing the sails, rigging, and cleaning the vegetable oil drums and wool brushes on the gun emplacements. Under the inspection and supervision of the gunner, the gunners are sorting The blocking net on the emplacement.

Similar work is also going on on several nearby ships, but the carpenters on some ships are still tinkling to repair the decks.

In the distance, a round of red sun is slowly falling into the sea level.On the surface of the sea, burning planks, wreckage of ships and dead bodies floating on the sea, tell people what happened here. The wet ship planks are burning on the sea surface, mixed with the salty smell of the sea breeze, and the smell of gunpowder smoke left after the gunpowder burned and exploded, let people know clearly that this is the battlefield of naval battles.

During the day, He Jing's navy and the Ruan family's navy had a small contact on the same river. Two of the He Jing's sailors were injured by the Ruan family, but it didn't affect the battle very much. Killed a dozen sailors and destroyed five artillery pieces.Fortunately, the gunpowder did not explode.

The navy of the Ruan family was not so lucky.

"The boat is small, the guns are few, and the medicine is weak." This is the comment made by the navy general Xu Huanshan to the Ruan family's navy.

The navy whose artillery was intercepted by the third son of the Ruan family sank seven ships, damaged five ships, lost hundreds of sailors, and lost dozens of artillery pieces.

More than a dozen sailors from the Ruan family who were rescued from the sea by the Nanzhong Navy squatted on the deck and wiped the deck hard. They splashed buckets of seawater on the deck, and then carefully wiped it with cotton cloth in their hands. The clean, messy deck gradually becomes shiny.

"After cleaning the front deck, you can go to eat!" The gunner, who was wiping the double-barreled short-barreled guns with a piece of cotton cloth in his hand, sniffed at the smell of food coming from the cabin on the second floor.

"Salute!" Following Mo Jin's shout, everyone on the deck put down their belongings and work, and paid attention to Li Shouhan who just came out of the cabin.

According to the military law of the South Central Army formulated by Shou Han, soldiers must bow down and salute when they encounter superior officers and officers who are higher in rank than themselves. However, they only need to pay attention to salute during cao training and combat.Shou Han didn't want to be like Nelson, who won the naval battle, but was killed by a bullet.

Patrolling his own ship, the Fubo; after the baptism of war, this giant ship with a draft of [-] tons has become more and more mighty.In the sea breeze, the sun and moon flag and the Li character flag on the top of the mast fluttered.

The seven or eight Gale Ships around are like the stars and the moon, guarding their leader, like a group of tigers crawling at the feet of the Tiger King, and like a group of dragons standing by in front of the Dragon King.

On one side of the deck, ten eight-pound guns were neatly arranged. These were temporarily reinforced for the navy. For this battle, Shouhan used almost all his belongings. Below the deck, there were a total of 22 ten-pound guns. Two-pounder.

There are also rockets in hidden places that are not easy to be found by people, and that is the real killer.

Shou Han is going to take it out suddenly in the decisive battle in the future, and the world will be decided in one fell swoop.

While thinking about it, the observer on the mast waved the small flag in his hand, "There are ships approaching in the distance."

Following his signal notification, the Gale Ship guarding the periphery quickly entered a state of combat readiness. The gunners quickly loaded the ammunition packs and shells, and inserted the fuse made of goose feather tubes into the ignition port to confirm that it was just above the ammunition packs. , Once it is determined that the comer is an enemy, immediately pierce the charge bag and prepare to launch the shell.

"Blue and white flag!" Another message came from the mast.

"My lord, it seems to be Frangji."

"It's the Portuguese among Francois!"

Nanzhong had contact with Western colonists earlier than the mainland, and people can also distinguish whether the Francois that adults and gentlemen talk about are Spaniards, Portuguese, or Luzon.

The blue and white flag has been in use since Alfonso I established the Kingdom of Portugal. Although the pattern has changed, the main color is always blue and white.

What are these guys doing here?

The guard was full of suspicion, but when he saw the comer drop the anchor outside the defensive circle, release the salute, and put down the boat, he waved his hand, "Go to a boat and take these guys over. I want to ask them where they came from." What are you doing!"

As a small nobleman, Alonso thought that his trip to expand Malacca's influence in the South Central region, and to intercede for his partner or employer, the Ruan family who ruled the southern part of Annan, was a relaxing and pleasant trip. .

According to the Ruan family, their enemy was just a small local military officer from the Ming Dynasty.

Maybe, he, Alonso, can also make great achievements in Annan for the great empire.

"I, Alonso, a loyal subject of His Majesty the Emperor of Spain and His Majesty King Philip II of the Kingdom of Portugal, Alonso, (both Portuguese and Spanish names are too long to avoid the suspicion of deceiving the number of words.) on behalf of the great Spain Empire, I make the following solemn request to you!"

After saluting Li Shouhan, who was sitting behind the desk, a small military officer of the Ming Dynasty in Alonso's eyes, Alonso revealed his reason for coming.

In his opinion, this little officer is not worth mentioning.

Although he has huge warships, a huge fleet, and seemingly good artillery, the huge Inca Empire was not conquered by the great Piero with more than 100 people?

The great Spain can also conquer this eastern empire with thousands of soldiers.

According to the division of His Majesty the Pope, this earth belongs to the current Spanish Empire, and I, the loyal servant of His Majesty the Emperor, is the servant of the master of the earth!The young officer of the Ming Dynasty on the opposite side should have heard his words, so he immediately got up and left his seat, knelt at his feet, kissed his leather boots, and then offered land, spices, gold and silver, silk, Porcelain and everything that can create great wealth for the empire and him.

His blue eyes stared fiercely at Li Shouhan, as well as the seven or eight dishes on his table, and the scent from the bursts, he knew that it should be the dinner of the Ming country junior officer opposite. "Damn it! The oriental barbarians, facing the nobles of the Spanish Empire, didn't even invite me to have a drink, and then treat me to a sumptuous banquet!"

So, with the anger in his chest, he raised the Europa man's chin, and arrogantly told Li Shouhan that he would regret his whole life, let the Spanish Empire deprive him of his title of nobility, and make future Spanish scholars yell at him. words.

"As the legal ruler of South Annan, Mr. Nguyen Phuc Yuan's loyal friend, the great Spanish Emperor Philip II requests you to immediately stop the military attack on Mr. Nguyen Phuc Yuan's army and return to your original station before the war broke out. And , to compensate Mr. Nguyen Phuc Yuan for all losses in this military conflict, including his army, land, towns, economy, taxes, etc., which are estimated to be equivalent to Spanish gold coins..."

Listening to Alonso's words interpreted by the interpreter, Li Shouhan tried his best to control his desire to laugh, picked up the wine glass placed at the corner of the table, and took a sip of the rice wine inside.

Hmm, the bad smell is tangy.Very tasty.

Today, in several wineries in He Tinh, because of the large supply of food, such as rice, corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes, the quality and variety of wine are also increasing and getting better.From high-quality rice wine that costs a few taels of silver a jar, to sweet potatoes and sugar cane wine that costs a few pennies a catty, there is a wide variety of everything that one expects to find.

Naturally, Shou Han would not drink those sweet potato burns that only officials and slaves would buy and drink. He has money, and if he has money, he can make some small teas for himself, so it is naturally possible.In front of him is the most expensive rice wine "Yuhuchun".

Tasting the fried fish fillets carefully prepared by the master chef, thousands of pieces of roast meat, and drinking a sip of hot wine, it is quite a bit of the joy of being a king in the south.

It's a pity that there is a fly buzzing nearby, which is annoying.

"If you can't pay the war reparations all at once, you can offset it with other products or goods in your territory. Our Spanish Empire can buy your porcelain production at a discounted price of one gold coin per box of porcelain."

I sun the brother of your father of the Spanish Empire!

Xu Huanshan and the others who came into the cabin to report the military situation to the guards, heard Alonso's conditions and demands, and they all cursed in their hearts!

The porcelain kiln made by Huang Qiying and others has started mass production after testing. Although it is not as large as Jingdezhen and Chaozhou, it still allows everyone to see the prototype of another gold-absorbing beast.

Moreover, this gold-absorbing beast is owned by everyone!

At the beginning of the construction of the porcelain kiln, Shou Han consciously proposed to the people of Ha Tinh that they could jointly fund the construction. "It can be regarded as a kind of joint-stock system! By the way, I will give you some benefits."

However, people who are accustomed to crossing the river by feeling the stones saw that Huang Qiying and others kept failing and losing money in the initial trial production of bone china, and many people were discouraged.

On the contrary, Wang Bao, Xu Huanshan, and Ye Qi, a group of young military officers, took out their salaries and family assets to invest in this industry "suggested by the lord".

But they did not expect that Huang Qiying and Lin Arong soon made the kind of porcelain that the lord mentioned. An Englishman passing by Hejing immediately bought a set of tableware with twenty Japanese gold orders. He also signed a purchase contract with Huang Qiying, requiring Huang Qiying to sell him at least [-] sets of tableware at a price of [-] gold pieces and at least [-] sets of tea sets at a price of [-] gold pieces every year.

In a blink of an eye, all the money and food that everyone invested turned into yellow gold.Although it is said that a new kiln will be built, Yichangxing Ceramics will not be able to distribute dividends to everyone, but let everyone see that their investment will soon turn into yellow gold. Are you unhappy?

Nima, you buy a box for the price of one gold coin?That box is a set of cutlery!

Why don't you go grab it? !

Shou Han looked at the officers whose chests were fluctuating in anger, and secretly laughed inwardly.well!Interest!

"Say you forgot?" Shou Han asked nonchalantly, wiping his mouth with a handkerchief that Meier put on him.

"You're done talking, it's my turn!" Shou Han sneered twice.

"Huzi! Let me ask you, are you willing to give your money to this Frangji in front of you like this?!"

"Go back to the general, I don't want to wait!"

"Are you willing to hand over the cities, lands, rivers, mountains and rivers obtained in bloody battles to others?"

"I don't want to wait!"

"Would you pay the hater who killed your loved one to encourage him to have the chance to kill your siblings, or even yourself?!"

"I don't want to!"

"Tell you! Man said that you are a vassal state of Spain, even the governor of Luzon of Spain, and I have been submissive to you! You started trading with the Ruan family in Hoi An a few years ago, helping the Ruan family to forge artillery, train Soldiers, massacre my Chinese people, and come here again today to blackmail me!"

"Now I will answer you clearly!"

The guard waved his hand, and the two brothers, Mo Jin and Mo Yu, rushed forward and brought a few soldiers to press Alonso to the ground, so that his face was in close contact with the floor of the cabin.

"You, go back to the old port, which is what you call Malacca. When you see your boss, tell me a message. The old port was originally the station of our Daming Old Port Propaganda Envoy, and it was occupied by you and others since the time of Emperor Wuzong. The soldiers and civilians have never forgotten it. The old port has been the territory of our Ming Dynasty since ancient times. A certain person has received the grace of the country and should recover it. Get lost!"

"You! Don't be complacent! The anger of our Spanish Empire is beyond your ability to bear!" The interpreter interpreted Li Shouhan's words to Alonso with all his heart.

"Whether you can make it back to your rabbit's den alive is a question!"

"Your dozens of boats will be jointly sent to the Sea God by our family! Let you face Poseidon's trident!"

Alonso muttered curses in his mouth.

Mo Yu learned from the interpreter that the guy who was pushed to the ground and wiped the floor with his face for the general was still cursing unknowingly, picked up his saber, and used the hardwood scabbard wrapped in brass to slap him hard. He slapped Alonso's big mouth that was chattering hard.

"My lord, what he said is right. The sentry ship came to report that there were several fleets about tens of nautical miles away from our anchorage." Amidst Alonso's screams, Xu Huanshan whispered to Li Shouhan .

"Drag out!" Watching the dirty blood, snot, and saliva around Alonso's nose and mouth, Shou Han ordered in a low voice with some disgust.

"How many are there?"

"There are three warships with blue and white flags, each with more than ten guns. There are also four Japanese slave ships with the flag of a cross in a circle. There are more than [-] sand ships with the flag of Li character Big banner. It seems to be Li Dan's team."
