Chapter 1104 Raid on Jinshan County

Outside the Port of Jinshan County, the fleet's Yang Fan set sail, the white sails swept through the ancient times, riding the wind and waves.

The prefect Shi Kai stood by the dock and saw the fleet gradually drifting away, and the shadow of the sail disappeared in the sky.

This is the third batch of gold transport ships to Dakan this year.

A few years ago, Shi Kai led a fleet to the New World, moored in Jinshan County, and landed in to establish a base.

The first soldier who climbed onto the land, holding a big khan flag, inserted the flagpole on the beach, and announced loudly to everyone who accompanied him: "From now on, this is the territory of the big khan."

The primitive tribes of the New World were still in a barbaric state, so they were naturally unable to compete with the colonists of the Ganchao. They could only watch the Gan people build a fortress in Jinshan County and lay their foundation.

There are now 20,000 people from Jinshan County. If the indigenous people are submissive, there will be about 50,000 or 60,000 people, which can catch up with a small county town in Ganchao.

Because Kingsoft is rich, the merchants of the Chanchae are willing to come to do business. Now Kingsoft County is lacking in anything. Not only is there sufficient basic living supplies, but many people in the Chanchae are unable to afford goods and are constantly being sent to Kingsoft County.

On the edge of the dock, Ganchao's merchant ships were mooring, and the coolies were transporting Jingdezhen's porcelain, Songjiang's cotton cloth and silk, and Shaoxing's good wine.

The people in the county laughed and scolded, and when purchasing goods, they were all rich people, consumed at will, and were full of vitality.

Shi Kai was standing in the port, and the Jinshan County sea ship was being built in the dock. If the ship was made, it could carry more than ten cannons to protect the gold transport ship.

Near the port, several turrets were also beginning to take shape, and several cannons were installed.

Shi Kai nodded with satisfaction. In ten years, Kingsoft County may become a real county.

At this time, Shi Kai was about to return to the city, when Zhao Ming next to him suddenly exclaimed, "County magistrate, a big ship is coming from the sea!"

Shi Kai disagreed. Kingsoft County was very busy. Every once in a while, there were merchant ships and ships carrying gold diggers into the harbor.

Shi Kai turned around and looked out at the sea with his hand on a pergola, but he was stunned.

At the end of the sea and sky, a mast and sail shadow came from the south along the coastline.

Could it be that a big-time sea boat deviates from the route, floats to the sea south of Kingsoft, and then finds it back?

Shi Kai was a little surprised. After all, the only factor restricting the development of Kingsoft County is the lack of population and gold diggers come, so he can collect more gold and collect more taxes, and have more money to develop the surrounding land.

But then, Shi Kai suddenly became suspicious. The sea boats that gold diggers ride are usually big blessed ships, and they will not use such white soft sails.

Shi Kai narrowed his eyes and observed that the masts on the sea surface were like forests and flags were flying. He couldn't help but feel a sank. He hurriedly reached out and shouted, "Get the Qianli Milestone."

Zhao Ming hurriedly handed it to him. Shi Kai pulled it away and his face changed drastically. Sure enough, there was a flag with a white background and red cross on the main masts of each sea ship, and it was the national flag of the New Spain Governor's District.

Such a huge three-masted fleet could not be a gold digger, nor could it be a fleet of Ganchao.

Now as the distance approaches, the huge Spanish fleet outside the harbor reveals its true form. Most of them are three-masted gunships, and there are dense gun windows on both sides of the ship's side.

"Not good! It's a Spanish warship!" Shi Kai exclaimed.

Most of the senior executives of Kingsoft County knew that the south of Kingsoft County was the Spanish colony and the Governor General of New Spain.

After Shikai discovered the gold mine, Gao Huan wrote a letter to tell Shikai that he would pay attention to the Spanish colonists in the south and gave Jinshan County a batch of guns and cannons.

However, at that time, everyone in Kingsoft County was crazy about discovering gold mines. Men, women, young and old were busy hunting gold together, so where could they pay attention to Spain?

The senior management of Shikai and Jinshan County were only nervous that the people in the county left Kingsoft and prohibited exchanges in Spanish colonies in the New World, hoping that the Spanish did not know Kingsoft. It was not until recently that the gold mine production stabilized, and the county and the country had sufficient money and food, and the gold transport ships were plundered by pirates, so they began to build warships and build forts.

At this time, the alarm bell echoed inside and outside Jinshan Port. The soldiers of Jinshan County hurriedly faced the battle, and the two sides fought fiercely outside Jinshan Port.

Over the years, Ganchao merchants have also understood the dangers of the sea and know that there are pirates everywhere on the sea, so most of the merchant ships in Ganchao are armed merchant ships and equipped with artillery.

The Ganchao merchant ships in the harbor, and the naval warships of the Jinshan County were lined up in the harbor. On the shore, the county soldiers of the Jinshan County were also quickly loading artillery and preparing to fight against the enemy fleet from the sea.

Shi Kai had never fought a war. Although Zhao Ming had served as a soldier, he had worked as a classic after retirement and commanded hundreds of yamen runners, he had never fought a naval battle.

However, when Zhao Ming saw Shi Kai panic, he said: "Don't worry, the county magistrate, we have guns and cannons given by His Majesty, and the miners in the county can be armed, and their troops are all afraid of the Western barbarians."

This was the armed merchant ship of Ganchao and the Spanish fleet at sea. They opened the cannon window almost at the same time and extended the dark cannons.

"Boom boom boom boom!" Inside and outside the port, the two armies bombed each other side, and shells fell into the sea, rising several meters high of water columns.

The lost shells splashed, hitting the shells on the side of the ship, and the wood chips of the warships splashed, causing casualties and injuries on the deck.

This is the first war since the military and civilians of Kingsoft County were expanded overseas. The protagonist of the war was not the muskets and bows and arrows when fighting with the indigenous people, but the powerful artillery. The scene shocked Shi Kai and the people of Kingsoft County.

The two warships fired at each other on the sea. On the fort, the gunners of the army operated the artillery and bombarded the Spaniards desperately. After the continuous artillery bombardment, the artillery was red and hot.

"Why did the Spanish call?" Shi Kai was shocked at the magnificent and terrifying scene on the sea.

Zhao Ming observed the battlefield and found that the Spanish fleet had the upper hand. They had ten gunboats and more than three hundred artillery bombarded together, and the Kingsoft County soldiers and armed merchant ships were completely at a disadvantage.

"The Western Yi must have taken a fancy to our gold mine!" Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "Prefect, the harbor cannot be defended, so prepare for street fighting!"

When he heard that Spain was trying to seize the gold mine, Shi Kai showed a ferocious face and showed his ruthlessness to fight against the Han brothers. "If you want to seize the gold mine, I will fight with them!"

In Jinshan City, the alarm bells sounded loudly. The brothers Liu Zhongxia and Liu Jiqiu, holding muskets, led the shop's staff and tribe members to hurry up onto the city wall. Seeing the artillery battle on the sea, their eyes showed fear.

They all just wanted to make a fortune, but they didn't expect to fight with the Spaniards. They picked up weapons for the first time and saw cannons roaring in front of their eyes, and their hands and feet were trembling.
