Chapter 318: Shijiu Port Monopoly Guarantee

There were almost no fishing boats at Shijiu Port. The Ming Dynasty navy had a fleet stationed here. Later, when the military was slack, the fleet gradually disappeared, and then some fishing boats were moored here. After the court began to ban the sea, the fishing boats also disappeared.

Later, it began to flourish, with a large number of merchant ships loading and unloading goods here, which led to the vigorous development of smuggling trade. The Shijiu Port is now even more lively.

A large number of refugees were crowded around the port and waiting to board the ship. Although there were large ships at this time, they would never appear at this port. The largest ships that the Beijing Merchants Group could mobilize were the 200-ton merchant ships as mentioned by Dengzhou Shipyard. The wealthy or powerful families in their hands were fled to other provinces.

Only these civilians or poor people who seem to be duckweed, staying there is either killed or starved to death, so they have to go to the beach to try their luck.

At the place where the ships were parked in the port, Liu Shisan and the soldiers who had heard the knife were closely guarded. Everyone who boarded the ship was counted and registered, because for every person he took away, the Beijing Merchants Group would have to pay one tael of silver or seven hundred cents. Of course, if these people could live to the Northeast's reclamation manor, after working for a year, the money they earned for the manor would have to be several times higher.

It can be said that it is a variety of things on earth on earth. The staff of the Beijing Merchants Group at all levels seem to be selecting animals at the gates. Young women are teased from time to time, but they have to please the other party with a smile. Even if they sacrifice themselves, it is not a big deal. After all, life is important now.

Someone there knelt down and cried and begged:

"Master, let me take my mother away. If she is left here, she will starve to death here. Good luck, okay okay!"

The people sitting behind the table have been used to this kind of separation and death scene these days, and they don't care at all. The people who come here to board the boat are poor people with no oil. If it is a benefit, that is, the manager who is responsible for identifying the population of the boarding boat suddenly saw the wife of the man who begged him, and he still looks a bit pretty. The manager tsk twice and was about to speak, but was interrupted by the crying of the old lady below.

"Son, don't worry about your mother, take your wife and children on the boat!"

The manager laughed and interrupted, saying in a rather obscene way:

"Brother, there are a lot of people who have left my mother in the port these days. Those old people either jumped into the sea or found a secluded place to die. You are so filial, it is better to... "

The next sentence was originally saying, "I might as well give you some convenience, and then you give me a sleep, but a sharp whistling interrupted his words. After the sharp whistling, he shouted in panic. The people on the dock immediately ran towards the land."

The manager did not react. He was overturned to the ground by the crowd behind him and the table was treated to others. There were four or five hundred rebel soldiers on the dock, but they were all panicked now.

Wen Dao and Liu Shisan's elite direct descendants were naturally with them, but it would not be possible to not arrange for the management of their confidants in such a large amount of money to earn money. Liu Shisan's so-called direct descendants had seen the firearms in Dengzhou Camp. When he heard the screaming sound, he immediately led his subordinates to run back. Although Wen Dao's subordinates didn't know much firearms, they were not stupid. When they saw Liu Shisan running, they ran slowly.

However, the people placed on the docks of the Beijing Merchants were affected. Now more than a dozen ships were parked on the docks. The crew members of the ship standing on the outermost ship were smashed by a six-pound cannon shell. The boards of such ships could not withstand the bombardment of shells at all, and suddenly a large hole came out.

After all, the first shot is also a test shot, and the position is relatively high. If the hole is located below, the ship may sink.

At this time, they saw that there were already six ships on the water surface, three of which were actually larger than Shijiu Port or the largest ship that appeared - such ships were just medium to upper level in Dengzhou.

The sailors, refugees and guards on the ships of the Beijing Merchants were all desperate to run towards the shore. Fortunately, the ships with upper and lower populations were all parked at the edge of the dock, and the inclined boards had not been removed. Although there were also crowds and falls into the water, most of the people ran to the shore.

The six ships slowly changed their formations and surrounded the port in an arc. The ships outside the dock still have a distance to go ashore, but there is also a problem with jumping into the water. It is cold now, so jumping into the water may cause problems.

While they were still hesitating, they saw a signal from the ship opposite. An old sailor looked at it carefully, suddenly shuddered and shouted in fear:

"They are going to sink the ship and let us leave soon!"

At this time, no one was afraid of the freezing of sea water, either holding wooden boards or pushing the boat down from the boat regardless of the slightest, rushing towards the boat one after another.

Before these people left the ship too far, the whistling shells were fired. There was no accurate artillery at this distance, and only a rough judgment was made. Therefore, several ships near the target also suffered from the disaster, but the gunfire was not fired for too long.

Because the boards were too thin, soon, two ships with holes sank into the sea. Six ships began to lean towards the dock. The rebel soldiers on the shore didn't know what to do. If they didn't even get close to the boat, they would be bombarded into the sea by artillery. These people had heard rumors of firearms, but they never thought that seeing such a scene with their own eyes would be so shocking.

Or in deep fear, the refugees on the shore were even more panicked, but they were reluctant to leave this escape passage. Although they automatically dispersed the circle, they did not escape too far.

Only the managers and captains of the Beijing Merchants Corps were embarrassed and angry. It was not a good thing for the ship and refugees to have problems with their own home to ask for crimes. But seeing the situation on the other side, was it a fight?

The tiger-head flag slowly rose from the mast of the largest ship. The managers of the Beijing Merchants immediately recognized it and whispered there:

"It's the tiger-head flag of Dengzhou, from Dengzhou!"

Four hundred soldiers came out of six boats and walked off the dock. Since they were from Dengzhou, the managers of these merchants became bolder. We paid for the money and always placed ourselves in the position of our employer. Four hundred Dengzhou soldiers with gloomy faces walked off the dock.

The business manager who was pushed to the ground was stepped on the ground and stood up in a daze. He looked up and was about to find the beautiful woman, but the family didn't know where to go. An evil fire broke out in his stomach. He thought to himself that Dengzhou had used the money from our capital merchant regiment to do things, why was it still so rampant? He immediately rushed to the front of the officer led by the soldiers of Dengzhou in a few steps.

He raised his finger and was about to scold something, but the officer leading the team glared and the big knife on his waist was unsheathed!

Blood soared into the sky, and the manager was cut into two sections. The people on the shore all took a breath. In the crowd, there were five or six hundred rebels staring outside. The most powerful among the rebels now are Wen Dao and Liu Shisan's soldiers. Although they are cousins, the soldiers and various departments involved in actual interests are all under the control of the two people, and the same is true for collecting money from Shijiu Port.

The little officer sent by Wendao whispered there:

"Brother Zhang, the soldiers outside have come ashore. I don't think there are more people than us. Let's go up and eat them. Anyway, the artillery is not daring to fire randomly!"

Liu Shisan's officer was taking out a tin wine pot to drink. This was also a common rule in Dengzhou. There was a portable metal wine pot on his body. He heard this and was choked and coughed. He glared at the man sent by Wen Dao fiercely. Most of the officers Wen Dao's officers were surnamed Liu. Speaking of which, he also had a relationship with Liu Shisan. He didn't dare to offend him very much, but just cursed in a low voice:

"You fucking want to die, but I won't. He is a veteran from the Dengzhou camp. God, these are four hundred veterans, there are only a few people in total!"

When the people on the side heard this, everyone in Liu Shisan's Laiwu Camp had a chill. There were only a dozen of them. When they were in Laiwu Camp, they regarded Jiang Feng's 2,000 servants as the goal of their efforts. Two thousand veterans could defeat the Ming army 20,000. This is their opinion!

However, the rest of the people had no intuitive ideas. Instead, the officer who was the one who was the sword had seen this scene under the city of Yuyang. Chen Shizi was considered a young and strong man with some combat power. In front of the two thousand soldiers of the other side, it seemed to be the ice and snow under the sun, and it disappeared without a trace in an instant and was defeated.

Thinking of this, he also shivered, turned around and lowered his voice and said to his soldiers who were a little ready to move:

"Everyone is honest. These Dengzhou soldiers are tigers. We don't move at all. Let's see what reasons they are looking for to eat us!"

Everyone knew in their hearts that if Dengzhou was here to wipe out the rebellion, there would definitely be no such a small number of manpower and ships. They had vaguely heard about Dengzhou's recruitment of refugees, and they probably came to attack this. Only now did the personnel of the Beijing Merchants Group react. A seemingly mature man leaned over with a smile and said repeatedly:

"Misunderstandings are all mistakes..."

Before he finished speaking, the head of Dengzhou officer waved his hand and four spears had already stabbed him, and he directly carried the person in the air. Shijiu Port fell into silence, and even the baby stopped crying.
