The sea surface of Jintang Island is sunny after rain.

Six Dutch gunships were pulled to the edge of the dock. Most of them were scarred and needed repairs. The Dutch flagship that hit a hole in the Zhenhai, and the cabin was flooded, and they could only be dragged to the shore and stranded.

The sea was covered with wreckage of warships, floating boards, and cruise ships, salvaging corpses to rescue the wounded.

The military and civilians on the top of Jintang Mountain witnessed the naval battle in Liegang. Seven Dutch gunships entered Liegang and shelled Jintang Mountain. The defenders several times could only passively be bombarded. Hundreds of warships entered the port and lost more than 30 ships. They took great efforts to defeat the Dutch.

Although the Ming army won, everyone was shocked.

This battle also made Zhao Ming realize that if the gap between the Ming army and the Western barbarians was not taken advantage of the fact that they were not left behind, the entire nation would pay a heavy price.

On the sea, the Ming soldiers were still cleaning the battlefield and checking for seizures and losses. Zhao Ming summoned all the generals on the deck of the Zhenhai to reward him according to his merits.

At this time, nearly a hundred people gathered on the Zhenhai, most of which were thousands of households and hundreds of officers from the Ming army in Zhoushan.

In today's battle, everyone was excited. Zhao Ming waved his big stick and charged forward, and used his flagship to hit the Hongmaoyi flagship, which made many Zhoushan Ming soldiers forget the difference between Zhoushan and Jintang Island. They only remember that they were Ming soldiers, and their eyes were full of admiration for Zhao Dashen.

After a while, everyone was excited and someone was puzzled, "Hey, where is our Huang Shuai?"

The officers in Zhoushan realized that their generals and generals were not there, so they hurriedly looked for it and asked, but no one knew it, so many people became alert.

At this time, Zhao Ming was wearing armor, an iron helmet on his head, and a big red cloak. He handed the mace to his subordinates, and then glanced at everyone on the deck.

The Zhoushan Ming army, who were talking a lot, saw Zhao Ming's face gloomy, and for no reason they actually calmed down.

Zhao Ming stood in front of everyone for a while and said sadly: "I want to tell everyone a sad news, I hope everyone is mentally prepared!"

The quiet Zhoushan Ming army immediately became turbulent again. Zhao Ming waited for them to discuss for a while before continuing to say sadly: "General Huang, General Huang, drove a warship in the battle just now, and only rushed to the Red-Fao Yi warship. Unfortunately, he was hit by the Red-Fao Yi artillery and died heroically. He sank into the sea with several generals."

On the deck, the Ming army in Zhoushan looked at each other when they heard the words, and the crowd immediately buzzed.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the court went bankrupt and the world was in chaos. The soldiers were the generals, and the court was unable to allocate military pay. The army relied on generals to support them. The soldiers were equal to the generals' private soldiers. They did not listen to the court, but only listened to the general's orders.

Huang Binqing is the long-term meal ticket for the Ming army in Zhoushan. Now that the meal ticket is gone, the generals are panicked.

Wang Chao stood up without any chance and waved his hand, "Don't panic, Marshal Huang is gone, Marshal Zhao is still here, you can take everyone to do it. To be honest, I'm showing off, I've already surrendered to Marshal Zhao."

Huang Binqing died, Lu Wei and others were also killed by Zhao Ming. Wang Chaoxian was already one of the few senior officers in the Zhoushan army.

The generals in Zhoushan received too much information and couldn't react for a while.

Zhao Ming looked at everyone and said sadly: "Mr. Huang died bravely. I am very sad, but don't worry, I will write to the court to tell us about the matter of Huang Dadi's heroic fight against the Red and Mass. Mars. Huang died in a fierce battle, strengthened our army's power, and died as a place. The brothers must be mournful and follow the changes. After all, people cannot be resurrected, and you don't have to worry about Zhoushan. I will take responsibility, and the money, grain and rewards will not be missing. Everyone's treatment remains unchanged, and you will also be rewarded for making meritorious contributions!"

Many officers in Zhoushan, after hearing Zhao Ming's words, spoke quietly, and most of them did not respond. Since Zhuang Zhao took over, everyone would take the food and salary in the future, it would not matter.

A small number of people noticed that something was wrong and realized that Zhao Ming wanted to annex them. However, firstly, they were not of high level, and secondly, they were on the other party's boat, so they didn't dare to say anything more.

There are only a few relatives of Huang Binqing who are used to being arrogant and cannot hide things in their hearts. Moreover, Zhoushan soldiers are tens of thousands, and their strength is not weaker than Jintang Island. Why do you want Zhao Ming to take over? They don’t give Zhao Ming a good face. Someone shouted, “Why should we Zhoushan Army listen to Jintang Island?”

Zhao Ming's face darkened, he stared at the few people, and said, "Good question! Because I am the commander of Zhejiang, the largest official on Zhoushan Island, and the imperial envoy of the court, Lord Qian, is there. The imperial envoy has written a memorial and asked His Majesty to clean up the mess in Zhoushan!"

Qian Chengzhi was just the head of the Ministry of Rites who announced the edict, not an imperial envoy. Zhao Ming said so, just to use the name of the court to integrate Zhoushan.

If the court supports it, Zhao Ming will be justified. As long as the Ming army in Zhoushan admits that it is the Ming army, he must obey the orders.

Qian Chengzhi walked out and said to everyone: "Master Huang was killed, and the heroes of Zhoushan were in charge. It is urgent to coordinate Zhoushan affairs and lead the army to work together to fight against the Qing Dynasty. This official will report this matter like the court, and now everyone will obey Marshal Zhao's arrangements."

The Chao stood up again first, "Master Zhao is wise and powerful, and is highly valued by His Majesty. If we follow the Magistrate, we will definitely be able to reorganize the country and be named marquis and generals, and we are just around the corner!"

Some imperial envoys from the court made a speech and some dynasties were first to speak, and several relatives of Huang Binqing were silent.

They are not immediate relatives, they are all distant relatives and fellow villagers who come to join, that is, thousands or hundreds of households, so how dare the court come to the court?

"Although the Red-haired Yi retreated, Jiannu is still eyeing him!" Zhao Ming looked around everyone and showed his attitude, "In the future, Zhoushan must be determined to fight the Qing Dynasty. He is willing to protect my Han family's clothes with me. I treat him as a brother. If he doesn't want to, I will not force you. I will give you a few boats and ask you to leave Zhoushan."

Many people have not figured out the situation yet and have not figured out what is going on. A few people who are familiar with the dynasty first. Seeing that the dynasty first winks them, they stood up and clasped their fists and said, "I am willing to listen to the command of the commander, but the commander is the leader!"

Huang Binqing was dead, Zhao Ming was strong and had an imperial envoy to endorse him. Many Zhoushan generals clasped their fists and expressed their willingness to serve.

Seeing this, several Huang Binqing's confidants did not dare to say a word, so they could only hold their fists and salute.

Zhao Ming nodded with satisfaction, saying that he could reward merit and act, so he let everyone disperse.

Ma Shiao and others left and said to Zhao Ming: "The remnants of Huang Binqing are ultimately a disaster after all."

Zhao Ming nodded, agreed deeply, turned his head to Wang Chaoxian and said, "You know all those people just now?"

The Dynasty politely said, "Report to the commander, most of them know each other!"

Zhao Ming then said, "You make arrangements and let these people take their families with you, leave Zhoushan tomorrow, and send them to Daliuqiu to farmland!"

These people are not Huang Binqing's core confidants, but they have some relationships, so there is no need to kill them all.

During the battle of Jintang Island, the Dutch were greatly injured. It would be better to send these people to northern Taiwan and set up a thousand-household office to expand their colonies and fight with the Dutch, Spanish and natives on the island, opening up a situation for the future development of Taiwan.
