Three hundred and twentieth eight chapters urn to catch turtles surrounded by sea and land
The mouth of Fujia River is a living port. It is better to say that it is a natural fishing port than other places. It has a river that connects the sea. The Tangjia River is not a big river. When the water is the highest, you can take a large ship with a hundred materials. When it is dry in November, you can only take a maximum of sixty materials.
Usually, no one pays attention to the fishermen entering and exiting the river, but now it is very lively. There are more than a dozen large sea boats parked at the port, and hundreds of small boats are filled with cargo coming and going.
The dozens of families near the port were smiling happily. The people on the boats came over. Everyone thought that the pirates were coming and were about to be washed away by the village, and the chickens and dogs were left behind.
Who would have thought that these people at sea would not only kill and loot, but instead turned their umbrellas to produce white silver, live in their houses, and ask them to buy wine and meat utensils.
Although people were sent to follow me when buying things, they were not as good as the price. Everyone had planned to buy half a piece of pig and a few jars of good wine this year, and it would be a fat New Year.
This is much easier than fishing in the sea. Before the people from the sea came, the people in the village had already agreed first, and no one would tell the matter out. Whoever said it would tie it together with the stones and throw it into the sea to feed the fish."
"A ship will take at least four days to unload, and there is not even a girl in this ghost place. It's really boring."
"Are there a few wives in the village? Lao Zhang, you have a lot of money in your pocket, maybe you are willing to sleep with you."
"It's so fucking bad, these wives are not as beautiful as the raw sex of Montaka and Java, and they feel disgusted."
On a sea boat that was unloading, several sailors looked bored and chatted below. These people were all strong men, with knives and axes on their hands, and they didn't look good.
After watching for a long time, a man pointed to the boat below and cursed:
"Ants are not moving so slowly. I'm dizzy when I see it. Less than 30% of the goods in the cabin have been unloaded. When will this day be finished?
"Isn't this going to save 20% of the tax and silver? We have to borrow some mercury this time, because that thing is too harsh to draw taxes."
After saying this, the man who scolded him lost his temper. He spoke for a long time:
"I'm a thief. I went to Tianjin Wei before. I could go to the city to find a girl by changing my clothes. I could have a good wine and meat for a few days. What's going on now? I've been tossing for dozens of days and I've been tossing back for dozens of days. Do I have to wait until the Japanese have a woman?"
The man next to him smiled and cursed under the boat, "Be careful." He said:
"This year, I'm afraid I'm going to celebrate the New Year at sea."
Speaking of this, everyone's emotions were a little low. One person looked back and whispered
"What's the matter with Lao Liang? The ship owner said that 20% of the goods would be 20%. After all, the goods would not be caught and confiscated. He wanted to greed for this cheapness and brought the boat over. These single boards were all over the place for four days. Don't you spend money on the small amount of money?
"I heard that the relationship between the past led everyone to come here. The people are well-equipped and can eat everyone's goods."
"I didn't see the ship from Sanshui King and his family this time!"
We were chatting on the boat and seeing two sea boats coming in slowly outside, everyone turned around and looked at them habitually, but this time it added a lot of topics to talk to them.
"This ship is so broken. If the wind and waves are a little bit too big, the water will enter.
"Look at the nailed board, it should be a hole made by a cannon, right?"
"Is it because he was beaten by the White Devil's ship? It's wrong? The boat also had a water flag hanging and paid the annual road purchase money with the King of Sanshui. The White Devil dared not touch it!"
The two new ships were indeed very broken. The holes on the hull looked newly repaired, with wooden boards nailed inside and outside. Everyone was used to running on the boats at sea. It can be seen that the main mast of one of the ships was also new. I really don’t know what evil star he encountered.
When you encounter pirates from the Ming Dynasty and the Lu Kingdom, you will only jump into the boat by jumping into the gang. No matter how powerful the battle is, you will not make holes in the boat.
If you encounter the Francis White Devils' ship and conflict with those ships, you will hit the shell and bombard it, and the masts of the hull will be affected.
But the Sanshui King had a rule that each ship on the sea would pay him a thousand taels of silver to cross the sea every year. After paying a silver, the Sanshui King provided shelter. The Franchise White Devils in the South China Sea did not dare to offend the Sanshui King. In the fourth year of Wanli, two Franchise ships that came from thousands of miles away did not know the rules. They snatched two ships and killed all the people on the ship, but the Sanshui King knew that the two ships had already gone to Luzon, but they were washed up on the ship in the port, and all the people on the ship were killed. However, the governor of Franchise in Luzon admitted it silently and did not dare to pursue the matter at all.
From then on, no one dared to touch the ship protected by the Sanshui King on the seas of the Ming Dynasty and the South China Sea.
But looking at the scars on these two ships, it is obvious that only Western gunships can make this look. I really don’t know what bad luck has happened to encounter such a blind Western ship.
When the ship enters the port, it must lower the sails. The degree is very slow... The terrain of many borders of Tangjia River estuary is more troublesome, so the port is particularly hard to deal with.
The helmsmen on the two ships didn't look familiar. The two ships walked very awkwardly and even made a strait at the other side of the opening.
Loading and unloading goods and moving ants is really boring for sailors and boatmen on the sea boat. These clumsy and awkward two ships suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing the two ships not controlling the direction well, they actually made a crossroads at the exit, the boatmen and sailors burst into laughter, and some even whistled and some slapped the faces. The scene was very lively for a while.
The sailors on the two sea boats swear loudly. While busy on the boat, some people went to loosen the rudder ropes, and some went to tie the sails tightly. The laughter and the whistle became louder and louder. The two ships still didn't turn around and just stood at the entrance to the sea. Who was driving the boat? If they were under the command of the Sanshui King, they would probably be fed to the sharks by their hands.
Suddenly everyone saw that the two ships had cobalt fallen. The sails on the masts all fell down. What was this to do, and the laughter and whistle gradually stopped.
With such a tossing, the ship could not move anymore. The sailors on the two sea boats were still busy. What they did this time was even more incomprehensible. Why did the tarpaulin of the goods on the deck still have to be lifted?
The oil cloth was lifted up, and the dark cannon was exposed to the side inside the bay. The sharp eyes could see that it was the cannon, and the people inside were still confused. Why did it calm down in front?
"fire!!"
Someone on both ships shouted, it seemed that the cannon had been loaded long ago, and the sailor standing next to the cannon hurriedly pointed.
"Boom boom boom boom" made continuous loud noises, and the two "clumsy and safe" ships were immediately covered by white smoke, with only roaring and howling on the sea. The voices of others were not blocked, but completely forgot to make a sound.
When the gun was fired, the recoil made the gun retreat. The wooden wheels and the plywood of the gun seat were rubbed and creaked. There were thick ropes on the gun seats connected to the side of the ship. After a distance, they were pulled by the rope.
Each ship only fired five cannons on one side. The five cannons retreated and made the hull shake violently. Many sailors who were operating the cannon did not stand firm and fell directly on the deck.
If you are a real sailor, you will at least stabilize your body or catch something. However, these "sailors" quickly got up and began to clean the cannon chamber and load ammunition.
The bay was very quiet, so quiet that the sailors on the two gun boats suspected that they had fired or not. Someone stopped and looked at it, and was immediately scolded by the general standing on the ship:
"Concentrate, move faster, delay the cannon and marching method!!"
After loading here and one door was loaded, the sailors next to the artillery raised a small flag and asked for orders from the military generals. A scream and cry suddenly broke out from more than a dozen sea boats over there.
It turned out that he hadn't reacted until now. General Ling Jun was stunned by this sudden reaction, but he waved his hand hard, and Ling again.
"fire!!"
Roar, smoke and screams.
The screams were sparse, each ship had only five cannons, only two of the five cannons were three pounds, and the rest were small cannons of one pound and one and a half pounds.
The two rounds of artillery fired were also very poor. Only one was hit by a shell and killed on the spot. No one else had anything to do. The one who screamed was just a shell that broke a corner of the ship building. The splash of wood chips shot and hit the nearby people. Then he screamed in pain.
But those single loading items are very troublesome. The people on the board looked bad and jumped into the water one after another. When it was so fatal, they didn't care about the biting chill in the water.
After two rounds, the soldiers did not stop to load. However, there were no one on each ship who dared to stand up. They were all lying there in a daze and dared not move.
Zhichi on the other side of Tangjiahe was walking backwards like crazy. Who would dare to be killed by the cannon?
People on the shore also heard the movements on the sea surface, and a group of people hurriedly ran out, wanting to go to the high place to see what happened in the bay.
But as soon as I went out, I looked towards the land and stayed there. Some people turned around and wanted to run, but after seeing the sea, I remembered that I had no way to escape.
"Where are so many cavalrymen? Isn't Wang Tong's dog thief just over 200 horses in his hands?
"What's the point of saying this? I'll fight them!!"
"You're crazy, there are thousands of riders here"
Dozens of cavalry left the encircled brigade, went to the hillside by the sea, raising the red flag in their hands and shaking it."
"The red flag is shining!"
The sailors crawling at the top of the mast shouted at the bottom. The generals immediately shouted loudly:
"fire!!"
