Chateley's mind was not as good as Chen Xi, and he didn't understand what was going on for a moment. Why could the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty find the wanted criminals in accordance with the images using the "wanted order" that had been drawn?

Could it be that these people were originally wanted by the Ming government?

The Folang Ji people occupied Upper Kawashima, and the manpower was seriously insufficient. In order to expand their strength, they bribed a group of desperadoes. In addition, pirates came to the island to do business on a daily basis, and Chateley had a ghost in his heart, so he couldn't even say anything to refute.

"If you take the person, all the ships will be detained. After returning to Guangzhou Prefecture, you will be interrogated in detail!" Chen Xi ordered.

A merchant who was taken was called out: "Sir, we are just merchants coming from Southeast Asia to purchase goods... I heard that there is a ******* here for passing ships to berth. It was windy last night, so I went to the port to hide from the wind and waves. Why should we seize the ships for us?"

Chen Xi replied coldly: "I don't know which pirates are and which merchants are. I can only take them back to Guangzhou Prefecture to identify them. I will talk about any injustice when I arrive at the Governor's Office!"

Even if Shangchuan Island is just a transit port, due to strong winds and waves on the sea outside the Pearl River Estuary, there were more than 40 merchant ships berthed in the harbor. In addition, the total number of large ships, small boats and ships of the Folang Jiren were close to 100. Chen Xi seized them all, which could not prove their origins. All the confiscations were used to go north to pacify the Japanese next year.

Four thousand officers and soldiers tied the island residents and passing merchants with ropes and escorted them to the ship in batches. It took about three days to return to Guangzhou Prefecture from Shangchuan Island, but if it was a starry night, it would only take one day and one night.

There are a lot of money on the island, and there are even tea, ceramics and cloths sold to Folang Jiren by Chenxi before.

The sold items were blocked by Chen Xi this time, and he was preparing to transport all the goods back to Guangzhou Prefecture as bargaining chips for negotiations with Almeida.

There are not many livestock on the island, and there are very few elderly, weak, women and children. From this we can see that the people of Folangji knew that they were in the wrong position and did not intend to settle down here for a long time. They just used the port of Shangkawa Island as a general trading port. Once the momentum is wrong, they can be evacuated at any time.

Ma Jiu came over and asked for instructions: "Sir, have you sent someone to stay?"

Chen Xi shook his head: "Even if we stay, we shouldn't be responsible. It's only twenty miles away from Guanghaiwei, but it's occupied by foreigners. It's really ridiculous. Leave an empty island for the Folang Ji people. When they come back, they know what happened, so they will naturally come to Guangzhou Prefecture to argue with me."

Ma Jiu asked again: "The camp on that island..."

"Let's leave the camp and houses, it may not be useful in the future."

Chen Xi smiled deeply, and had a rough plan in his mind, which was to use Shangchuan Island as the sea supply station for the Ming Dynasty, and the governor's yamen sent troops to garrison. Later, the ships came to hide from the wind and waves, or went to the island to trade, and they would have to pay a certain fee to generate income for the Ming Dynasty.

Anyway, most of the merchant ships traveled to and from the Ming Dynasty and the South China Sea countries, and most of them were ships outside the country.

There are more than 1,800 residents on Shangchuan Island, and the amount of goods is even larger, because the previous capture on the island of Juzhou filled the fleet's cabins, and now it is extremely difficult to load people and goods. According to statistics, even if all the merchant ships seized before were included, they still cannot transport all the people and goods back to Guangzhou Prefecture in one trip. It is difficult to sink the stream.

Jing Yue suggested: "Sir, if you don't divide the wealth and goods, the soldiers will take it themselves, and each person will always bring it back to Guangzhou Prefecture."

If you load and ship, you can transport it back after loading it. What kind of bullshit logic is this?

Chen Xi shook his head: "First transport part of the wealth to Guanghaiwei, then I will find a way to collect the carriage and transport it back to Guangzhou Prefecture... The method is what people think, and people can't be suffocated to death by urine!"

The reason why the capture was so large was mainly because the people of Folangji were too greedy. They exchanged a large amount of goods with the Ming Dynasty with cheap salt, spices, medicinal materials from South China, as well as inferior gold and silver coins made by themselves. Folangji was afraid of getting along with the Ming Dynasty, so they placed the purchased goods in batches in Shangkawa Island, Luzon and other places. Before they knew it, Shangkawa Island, closest to the Ming Dynasty, became a storage and transportation center for Folangji people.

Chen Xi had a premonition that once Almeida knew that the Ming Dynasty goods they had worked hard to exchange for were taken away, he would be furious and might take risks and invade the Ming Dynasty's borders.

Chen Xi felt it was necessary to order the coastal garrisons to strengthen their vigilance. Once the Flang Jimen's fleet landed, they would resolutely attack the head-on and would never give them an opportunity to take advantage of it.

He wanted to issue a document to inform the Ming soldiers that the Folang Ji people were actually just paper tigers, and the only threat was the Folang cannon. In the background of the forbidden sea, the people who were not robbed along the coast could not play the advantage of Folang cannon on land. The officers and soldiers of the garrison needed to take advantage of the Ming terrain, ambush and roundabout, which was enough for the Folang Ji people to lose their appetite.

After all, the Ming Dynasty was too far away from the Kingdom of Portugal, and it took a full year to go back and forth. The lack of manpower in Folangji was a flaw. It was purely a delusion to work hard to conquer the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Shen Xi still doesn't understand it now. Didn't it mean that the Folang Ji people would only come into contact with the Ming Dynasty during the Zhengde period? In the last year of Zhengde, it seemed that the Ming Dynasty had a naval battle with the Folang Ji people, and finally ended with a complete victory in the Ming Dynasty! Is the butterfly effect of his rebirth so huge that it even affected Europe?

Unlike Chen Xi left with the first fleet after the Battle of the Viagra, this time Chen Xi chose to stay at Shangchuan Island. On the one hand, he commanded the left-behind ships to deliver the island's goods to Guanghaiwei. I believe that as long as Hui Niang receives the letters she sent, he will send people to pick up the goods; on the other hand, Chen Xi had to consider that if the Folang fleet arrived and if he had his own command, he would not cause trouble.

Finally, Chen Xi was preparing to inspect the terrain on the island.

If the yamen of the governor and local garrisons are not prepared to take the upper and lower Kawashima into control, will you be able to use the power of the chamber of commerce to shoulder the important task of development alone? After all, the upper and lower Kawashima and the Kanzhou Island are both good places to build salt fields, and it is very easy to develop with the support of the governor's yamen.

After a great victory without bloodshed, the officers and soldiers did not celebrate because they were afraid of being suddenly attacked by the Florians. In this era of backward communication and closed news, the whereabouts of a fleet at sea are not so easy to grasp. Perhaps the Florians are preparing to transport a batch of cargo to Shangkawa Island and may land on the island the next day.

Jing Yue came over and asked for instructions: "Sir, brothers seized some sweet wine on the island. It was too cold. Can you let the brothers drink a few sips to warm up?"

Drinking can make things worse. The Ming army has strict rules. You must not touch alcohol when marching and fighting. But at this moment, Jing Yue and others were staring at Chen Xi. Even Ma Jiu and Zhu Hong were pursing their lips while cooking fires. It was already cold when they were close to the bonfire, let alone those officers and soldiers on duty in the dark.

Chen Xi pondered for a moment and nodded slightly: "Divid the wine for the officers and soldiers, no more than two taels per person!"

Jing Yue always felt that Chen Xi was not easy to talk to, so he didn't have much hope when he came to ask for instructions, but he didn't expect Chen Xi to agree. He said excitedly: "You will do whatever you say. If those bastards dare to drink more, I will never let you go!"

Although Jing Yue was only a hundred families, he came from a family of military generals, and his father and brother worked on the nine borders. His father was even the assistant commander of Datong Town Guard. He himself had passed the military juren and was now assigned to Guangdong to perform his duties. Unlike the hereditary thousand households and deputy thousand households, he would be recruited at any time in the future and was always valued by the commander-in-chief Li Che.

The six hundred-house guards assigned to Chenxi in the Dusi Yamen, including the hundred-house guards led by Jing Yue. Because they were highly appreciated by Chen Xi, they took him with them wherever they went, so Jing Yue regarded himself as the captain of Chenxi's guards.

Although there is no official appointment, Jing Yue's speech is more effective than those deputy Qianhu, and is a phony tube for Chen Xi to communicate with military generals.

In addition to socializing, Chen Xi rarely drinks alcohol, but the temperature is only five or six degrees Celsius. However, because the air is extremely humid and cold, he had to drink two sips of wine to keep warm. Later, he felt cold all over and simply returned to the tent.

As soon as he got in, he saw a pair of bright eyes looking at him. Without looking at it, it was Liu Ya who came into his tent. Chen Xi frowned and asked, "Aren't you not allowed to come?"

"cold."

Liu Ya's answer is very simple.

Chen Xidao: "It's not okay to be cold. Men and women don't get along with each other. Now there is nothing in the army. If you are in the place, you will be despised by the world. You should go back to your tent now, remember to cover more blankets, and when you transport all the goods to land tomorrow, we will set off and return to Guangzhou Prefecture!"

Liu Ya pouted and stood up in a state of depression. When she passed by Chen Xi, she stretched out her hand and pounded Shen Xi's leg with her fist twice.
