Chapter 109 A Storm at Sea

Chapter 109 Storm on the Sea

The typhoon raged for three days.

On the fourth day, the wind stopped, but the beach was in a mess.

Many people living on the shore started rushing to the sea early.

The typhoon not only brought wind and rain, but also brought many rare fishing catches.

Hanling Mountain rarely allowed these people to rest for two days.

He came to the beach and stepped on the still surging waves, looking at the depths of the vast smoke.

For the sea, he fell in love with it from the first sight of it.

"How great would it be if it could turn into a giant fish with 10,000 kilograms."

Facing the vast blue waves, Han Lingshan couldn't help but murmur.

Liu Poxi, who was following two steps behind him, quickly said, "I am a hero. I can make waves without turning into fish."

Han Lingshan looked back at Liu Poxi and said, "I may not be able to marry you."

Liu Poxi whispered: "I am a body with a broken flower and a broken willow. It is a great time to be able to serve you for a while. I dare not propose marriage."

Han Lingshan shook his head and said, "It's not that he disliked you with two children, but..." As he spoke, he seemed to remember something terrifying and couldn't help but shake his head.

Liu Poxi didn't care at all, and held Han Lingshan's hand and said, "My family must be quite small. I can enter the mansion with such a person, and I dare not pray that I can pamper me. I just want to come and see me in my spare time."

Han Lingshan nodded and said, "It's not bad. In two days, someone will pick you three out of Chaozhou and settle down in a new place. Although I will be ridiculed by a bunch of brothers, this is nothing.

The older ones will go to the place where I went to study before, and you will take the younger ones with you. It will take three or five years for you to study.

There, I have a small yard with no shortage of food and clothing. You can take care of your baby. There is also a hundred acres of food fields in that place. I have already sent someone to build a house on the food fields.

After the house is built, you go there to settle your home.

Someone will give you my salary, which should have accumulated a lot, enough for you mother and son to live.”

Liu Poxi knelt down in the tide and cried in tears.

"I must keep my guard at my doorstep and dare not talk about my relationship with you."

"It doesn't matter. If it weren't for my current errand, it would be fine if you say it was my outdoor room. Go pack up your things. You can use the gold and silver in my bag at will."

After Hanlingshan arranged Liu Poxi, he walked along the coastline and picked up some seafood from the beach from time to time and threw it into the fish basket. At first glance, it was no different from the fishermen by the sea.

Liu Poxi was so happy that she was about to jump up. She thought that this man would only give her a sum of money and then dismiss her. She never expected that he would arrange for them to live on the fiefdom.

This far exceeded all her expectations.

Although Uncle Jiu said that there were no good people in the Jinyiwei, Liu Poxi was willing to believe this man with a weak appearance, well, believe it with his life.

In Liu Poxi's heart, this tiger-like man disdained to do things that deceived her or hurt her, which was completely unnecessary.

Two more days later, the warship that Han Lingshan mentioned came.

Three large lucky ships with four hundred materials!

There is no artillery or a pole, it is just three merchant ships.

The person who came to deliver the boat was still Qian Hengbao, who had no need to be white.

This time his face was extremely solemn, completely gone from the humorous appearance he used to be.

"There is no way, you need to be anxious, so you have to do this. We have contacted Zheng Zhibao and hoped that there would be three warships. Zheng Zhibao said there were no, no artillery, and no sailors. They were not even going to give us another wooden board.

Zheng Zhilong already knew about Han Xiufen showing his power at sea, and he was a little scared.

When they were fighting against the Dutch in Liaoluowan, they used fifty gunboats and hundreds of fire ships, but they were only facing the Dutch and the light-armed merchant ships.

Even so, the fight was extremely difficult and the damage was severe.

They just burned two armed merchant ships, and the rest fled, and the ones killed were just pirates who depended on the Dutch.

At the beginning of the Battle of Liaoluo Bay, the Dutch attacked the port and wiped out more than 20 new gun ships with twenty to thirty-six cannons in one fell swoop.

It is hard to say who is more damaged in the Battle of Liaoluo Bay.

In Fujian, the Dutch were weak and had to surrender.

If Zheng Zhilong is unable to resist the heavy warships that Han Xiufen faces to deal with Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong will no longer be able to withstand anyway.

You should know that our largest lucky ship is only nine feet long, while the Dutch medium-sized warships are more than twenty feet long.

The greatest firepower of the Fu Ship is only one Red Cannon and six Thousand Jin Folang Machinery Gate. The remaining ones are small cannons such as bowl guns. The so-called Red Cannon is the eighteen-pound cannon of the Western wrecked ships that were salvaged.

According to the news from Han Xiufen, the Dutch's strongest warship, the "Seven Provinces", was equipped with 80 cannons, including 12 36-pound cannons, 16 24-pound cannons, 14 18-pound cannons, 12 12-pound cannons, and 26 6-pound cannons.

At that time, the most common intermediate warships in the Dutch fleet also had an average of 50 artillery pieces, of which more than half of them were more than 18 pounds.

Among the Dutch navy along the Ming Dynasty, many ships had less than 30 guns, which were placed in Europe, which was the level of a light warship.

Even this kind of light warship is an insurmountable obstacle in the eyes of the former Fujian Governor Nan Juyi.

The Dui Zun sent Secretary Yang Xiong to Weinan to ask Nanjuyi, who was happy to farm and read Nanjuyi for details of the Penghu naval battle.

Nan Juyi said: When fighting against the Red-Hai Navy, you must be very cautious. If you are not careful, you will end up being wiped out by the entire army.

Although he won the battle in Penghu, his winnings were not glorious.

He first used treason to seize Dutch officers during negotiations, and then mobilized more than 10,000 people and 200 ships to besiege Penghu strongholds. At that time, the Dutch defenders were less than 1,000.

Moreover, due to time reasons, only simple fortifications were built. In this way, more than 10,000 people in the Ming Dynasty also spent a lot of effort to break through the fortress.

Finally, some of the Dutch were allowed to escape by boat.

This battle costs 170,000 military pay.

It was so difficult to fight with absolute military strength. Nan Juyi has never mentioned this since he left Fujian.

Lingshan, the reason why the county master wanted to deal with Zheng Zhilong this time was not out of selfishness, but that Zheng Zhilong has become an obstacle to our development of a strong navy.

Although I can't figure out why you only have three lucky ships, such power is not enough when facing Zheng Zhilong, the shark.

You have to be cautious!”

After listening carefully to Qian Hengbao's introduction, Han Lingshan couldn't help but sigh.

Time really matters...

The county magistrate is indeed extremely wise...

The county priest's vision is indeed as long as tens of thousands of miles...

The county master's mind really covers the world, not the Ming Dynasty's three-part land.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty, Emperor Jiannu, Li Hongji, and Zhang Bingzhong are indeed vegetable fish in the fish pond...

"I want Han Xiufen's report on the red hair, all!"

"What are you doing for this thing? It's still a top secret."

With Qian Hengbao's words, Han Lingshan has automatically transferred this guy into the ranks of fish.

The purpose of Yushan Academy is to seek innovation and change. This guy who came out of Yushan Academy has no interest in these sudden peaks and is simply unmotivated.

Like Yun Zhao, Han Lingshan likes to remain silent when he meets a fool, and can only tell him the fact that he is a fool with his eyes.

Qian Hengbao naturally found out from Han Lingshan's eyes that he had been classified as a fool in this fact, and immediately said: "I can apply for you, and the rest depends on whether the secretary or supervisor approves it."

Han Lingshan sighed and said, "I am so eager to learn, you have to go through a long channel and directly send news to the county master. I want to read Han Xiufen's manuscript."

“The manuscript is encrypted.”

Han Lingshan sighed and said, "This is the consequence of you idiots not studying in Yushan Academy. You can't understand Han Xiufen's encrypted documents. Do you think I can't understand either?"

Qian Hengbao muttered, "How can I know that those tadpole-like words are so important."

If you talk too much to fools, you will become stupid, but Qian Hengbao acted more well-behaved than his son, so he naturally had to pay attention to it.

"Be prepared, the imperial court's recruitment of Zheng Zhilong has a great relationship with Cao Huachun."

Qian Hengbao said in surprise: "It is related to Cao Huachun?"

Han Lingshan said irritably: "Isn't this lesson deep enough to pirate Wang Zhi beheaded by Hu Zongxian?

Zheng Zhilong is three points smarter than Wang Zhi. Without a direct channel to Tianting, do you think he will surrender?

The person who surrendered Zheng Zhilong was Xiong Wencan, and Xiong Wencan was the first group of people to be excused when Cao Huachun handled the unjust case of Wei Zhongxian.

These things are clearly written in Zhou Guoping’s Beijing Statistics Book.

You never read these news when doing things, right?"

"You're just suspicious!"

"Get out of here, go see it now. As long as I start to doubt someone, it will definitely be true.

Without the emperor's approval, do you think the people of Fujian will regard Zheng as the Great Wall?

Without the emperor's consent, do you think Zheng Zhilong's trading scope is wide and across the East and South China?

Why do you think he can do whatever he wants in Dani, Shini, Chameng, Luzon, Wugang, Beigang, Dazhong, Hirado, Nagasaki, Mumbai, Banten, Old Port, Batavia, Malacca, Cambodia, Siam, etc.?

Why can we have military strength of up to 20,000 people of various races, including Han, Japanese, Korean, Austronesian, African blacks, and fleets of more than 3,000 large and small boats?

Why did the county lord be so afraid of him that he asked me to take action to get rid of him and then dismantle Bazhi?"

Whenever Han Lingshan said something, he would approach a step forward. Qian Hengbao was forced to take a step back until Qian Hengbao was forced to go to an abandoned wooden boat. Han Lingshan then pressed his hand on the wooden boat and looked down at Qian Hengbao who was being pushed by his wall.

"Take my woman to Yushan, send her older children to the academy, and the younger ones and the younger ones in my belly to my library. When the house on my fiefdom is built, I will send them to the fiefdom, and then take my salary out of the government office and hand it over to the woman.

If someone asks, do you know what to say?"

Qian Hengbao was sweating profusely and nodded repeatedly, not knowing why he nodded to do such a savory thing that would be laughed at by classmates for the rest of his life.
