sweeping the world

Chapter 1011 Attacking Han Worldwide ([-])

The two ships that lowered their sails after being warned to shoot were merchant ships of the Huan family.

"We also encountered those two ships before we came, but one of them sank, and the other was heading here." Huan Song continued to Huang Yi, who boarded the ship to supervise: "When the guns fired here, the other ship The boat turned around and went away."

Of the seven ships that came, six were overtaken and sunk by the "Xingyang", and only one gave up the pursuit after nightfall.

The sea is vast, and if there are no lights on the ship at night, it will be a full moon day. If you want to find a ship on the vast sea, you need enough time and luck.

Although he was not reconciled, it would be a waste of time to continue searching, so Liang Min ordered to sail to the Annan Governor's Mansion.

After the two merchant ships of the Huan family lowered their sails, they were taken over by the boat that had been lowered from the "Xingyang" earlier, and the "Xingyang" was joined later to form a formation.

Their position has deviated from the prosperous route. After re-entering the route, due to the darkness, unless the hostile enemy ship has long-range high-destructive weapons, otherwise it is impossible to engage in boarding battles until " "Xingyang" let Huan's two merchant ships go, and there was no accident on the way back.

There are three large ports in the Annan Governor's Mansion. The military port is where the Han army landed, and the other two are civilian ports.

It was another day, and the "Xingyang" approached the military port, and from a distance, we could see the black smoke rising from the land camp at the military port.

"The military port has also been attacked?" Liang Min saw through the binoculars that several ruined buildings were smoking: "It seems to be a warehouse?"

Chen Tan was also watching with a telescope: "Look at the location, it's in the warehouse where the kerosene is stored."

Since they were warehouses for kerosene, those buildings were not connected, and they were far enough away from the camp area. After they burned, it seemed that there was an explosion, and the surrounding trees were obviously swept away. A large pit can be seen forming.

Furthermore, the burning of kerosene will be a black smoke column, and the simple burning of wood will be a gray smoke column, which is easy to identify.

"We were so confident that we never expected to be attacked at sea." Xiao Xin said sadly, "They are probably just like us, they don't believe that anyone would dare to make a sneak attack."

The warehouse, which should have been closely guarded and vigilant, was successfully attacked by surprise, so it can only show that there is more than one omission.

"Xingyang" communicated with the military port with semaphore, and a pilot ship was sent to lead it into the berth.

It can be seen that there are quite a few ships moored in the port, each of which has entered a state of combat alert, but another gunboat "Yecheng" of the Annan Governor's Mansion is not in the port.

Liang Min disembarked and went straight to the shogunate of the Protectorate's Mansion. What he saw along the way was a busy scene. Soldiers were conducting various investigations, and there were at least three times more sentry posts than usual.

"Zhihao is back?" Yang Rui greeted first, and then said: "The military port was attacked last night, and three warehouses were burned down."

"I saw it from a long distance." Liang Min described what happened to the "Xingyang" at sea, and then asked: "How many enemy troops have come?"

"More than 500 people." Yang Rui's face was extremely gloomy: "First, there was a riot at the commercial port, and then there was arson by slaves."

The other two civilian ports of the Annan Governor's Mansion are commercial ports. There are Han people from the mainland, and there are more businessmen from various countries.

Due to the high cost of crossing Malacca, businessmen from various countries chose to stay when they arrived at the Annan Protectorate, which brought prosperity to the two newly established civilian ports and made them the most prosperous in the entire Indochina Peninsula in a very short period of time. thriving business district.

There are no less than 1 foreigners who usually stay in the two places, and even exceed 5 at the most. They sell their own products here, and at the same time they will eat a lot of products from the Han Empire. Scalping trade.

Liang Min had to wonder, he didn't see thick smoke from the two commercial ports when he was at sea.

"The fire was extinguished in time." Yang Rui and Liang Min walked side by side and said as they walked: "Although there are many foreigners in the port, not all of them joined the riot. There are also many of us, and the merchants all carry guards, and the garrisoned ones The response was also timely."

So it was the riots in the two commercial ports that drew the attention of the Annan Governor's Mansion. During the chaos, the slaves serving the garrison found an opportunity to attack the warehouse where the fire oil was stored?

As they walked, they said that after entering the shogunate, someone would notify him, and soon Liang Min was received by Si Hongzhuang.

"The main force attacking the camp is the Persians." Si Hongzhuang looked calm, and after raising his mouth, he asked, "You were attacked at sea?"

Liang Min explained what happened in detail, and then said: "The people who attacked us, except for the Han people who were bribed, were mostly Arabs. After torture, the masterminds were Daqin people and Persians."

After berthing at the port, the "Xingyang" has already taken the prisoners off the ship. There are twelve Han criminals and seven foreigners. They will be handed over to the garrison for interrogation again.

"The 'Yecheng' has been out of port for six days." Si Hongzhuang thought that if there is one, there will be another, and he said worriedly: "I found my own ship in distress at sea, so I must go to rescue it. They..."

There are only two gunboats in the Annan Protectorate's Mansion. Unless necessary maintenance is carried out, they are patrolling back and forth on the route. The purpose is of course to deter the nations of the world.

Si Hongzhuang did not hide his hatred: "After the interrogation, what did the Han people who were bribed say?"

The Han people have just experienced the years of being ruled by foreign races, and they know what is miserable and life is worse than death.

Next, the government has repeatedly promoted and emphasized that the main theme is that we are of the same race and work together to create a better future.

The problem is that there is no such thing as perfection in the world, how can there be less scum in a group, there are always some people who live just waiting for the day to become scum.

The Han Empire has also been emphasizing the economy in recent years. Once the pursuit of wealth reaches a certain level, the price is not enough if the price is not enough. Once the price is enough, the phenomenon that even relatives and mothers can sell it will inevitably increase, and the probability of increasing scum will definitely increase greatly. .

Liu Yan had already realized that it was not advisable to blindly pursue economic benefits before, and had plans for moral education, but sometimes a "door" was opened, and it was not so difficult to close it again.

"They were originally a group of desperadoes who traveled all over the mountains and forests to catch slaves. They went to the Persians to have fun..." Liang Min slowly introduced what he knew: "That guy named Qin Gui, he was a soldier. The lieutenant general retired. He had a title and assets. Later, he was a gambler and lost all his money before he started the slave-catching business. His gambling habits have not changed. Not only did he owe a huge gambling debt in Persia, but he also had a lot of debt at home. Persia The man bid [-] gold coins for himself, and his team bid [-] gold coins, adding up to [-] gold coins.”

"Money touches people's hearts!" Si Hongzhuang didn't talk about gambling, and the Han Empire itself couldn't help gambling.He shook his head and said sullenly, "What I didn't expect was that the rest of the people would follow."

Being a Han Chinese is a very happy thing now, and it will be even happier if you have a title.

As the most ordinary Han people, they will not have obvious feelings in China, but once they go abroad, they will find out that even if they are ordinary people in the Han Empire, they will inevitably become masters when they go abroad. Foreign dignitaries dare not offend at all, and ordinary foreigners need to be treated with care and curry favor, given "high national" treatment.

People who enjoy the benefits of a strong country and have a bit of conscience...or a bit of brains are too late to protect the country. Only when they are mad enough to a certain extent will they be bribed by foreigners to deal with their own country, right?
"Everyone can get at least two thousand gold coins." Liang Min laughed 'hehe' a few times, and said with an understandable but deeply resentful expression: "They catch slaves. If they are lucky, they can earn fifty at most a year." A gold coin, two thousand is a wealth that may not be earned in most of my life."

Si Hongzhuang was already writing official documents, to the effect that he was reporting the attack and losses to the country.After he finished writing one copy, he took up the pen to write another copy, and later asked Liang Min to write down the names and places of origin of those Han people on the official document.

"Enjoy benefits but eat inside and out, and even participated in the attack." Si Hongzhuang shook his head and said, "It is inevitable to be regarded as a model. Before they do it, they don't think about their relatives."

The Han Empire did not abolish the law of implicated companies. Those Han people who participated in the attack, not only they themselves must die, but their blood relatives will at least suffer the end of hard labor. Under the watchful eye, don't even think about finding a job in the future, even if the children want to be educated, it will become a luxury.

Another one, Qin Gui himself retired from the military and has a title, but he has no guarantor to get involved.If there is a guarantor, he will be retired and fined while serving. If he is also discharged, the fine procedure is indispensable.

"You work harder." Si Hongzhuang was writing the third official document, and while writing, he said: "Build a fleet, including the 'Xingyang' and 120 other ships. Leave the port today and go to Cuttack .”

Cuttack is on the side of Asan Continent, and it belongs to the largest port under the jurisdiction of Tianzhu Protectorate.

The Annan Protectorate's Mansion can be attacked here, and it is conceivable that the situation in the Tianzhu Protectorate's Mansion, which is far away in the Asan Continent, will be even more serious.

After Liang Min answered "No!", he asked, "Will the 'Yecheng' arrive later?"

However, Si Hongzhuang shook his head: "I don't know when the 'Yecheng' will return to Hong Kong. After you pass by, it will be temporarily included in the Tianzhu Protectorate system. Unless I have new orders, otherwise, follow the command of Governor Qian."

What Liang Min didn't know was that it was completely normal for Si Hongzhuang to have such a behavior. Firstly, there were no gunboats in the navy of Tianzhu Dufu, and secondly, the current situation there was very special.

The Son of Heaven went to Kuaiji (Hangzhou Bay) on a tour. Several Marquises and dozens of nobles went out to sea by boat. About a month ago, they passed through the Annan Protectorate’s Mansion and stopped by the port for inspection. They are now in the Asan Continent.

In the Han Empire, as long as he was a Marquis, everyone was a high-ranking official.

How many marquises are there currently in the Han Empire?Even if Liu Yan made a big broadcast after he became emperor, there were still no more than 30 Marquis in the entire Han Empire. If an accident happened to them, it can be said that the entire Han Empire would be shaken.

If Si Hongzhuang hadn't mentioned it, Liang Min really wouldn't have known that three Marquis had gone to Tianzhu Protectorate.

"General Hussars is here?" Liang Min couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "In addition to the three marquises, there are 26 nobles? This is really..."

Si Hongzhuang knew why Liang Min showed that expression, he had similar thoughts.

Worried about whether there will be accidents with Ran Min's gang, there will be, and more to feel sad for the gang who chose to make trouble at this time.

As a general of hussars, Ran Min did not go to the Asan Continent because of official duties. He did not have the relevant official documents and necessary tiger charms, so he naturally took over the army of the Asan Continent through formal procedures.

It’s the same thing in law, but if Ran Min doesn’t care about it, he doesn’t need to go through the legal procedure at all. He only needs to persuade the governor of the Tianzhu Protectorate to make a contract, and he doesn’t even need to take over. (Forcing) the way to let the army of Asan Continent act according to their own ideas.

"It's really something that General Hussars can do." Liang Min kept smiling wryly, and had to ask: "If it's the last general..., what should I do?"

Si Hongzhuang stared: "You are acting under the command of Governor Qian, can you think about other things?"

Liang Min was somewhat relieved. Compared to Ran Min, he is a small person. Ran Min, who has always been confident, can do anything wrong. Even Qian Jiantong, who is the guardian, can choose according to the situation. I can't afford to experience something like that.

After the necessary supplies, the arranged "Xingyang" left the port first, followed by various types of ships in the port, and assembled into a formation of 120 six ships.

Naturally, the big moves in the military port cannot be hidden from people, that is, what the fleet wants to do has nothing to do with most people, especially for the foreigners who are being detained in a centralized manner, even if they want to do something, they can't do anything.

"Guardian." Yang Rui saluted after entering the room, and reported: "The culprits who participated in the attack, except for the main culprit, all [-] have been beheaded."

Si Hongzhuang nodded and waited for the next sentence.

"There are 4 aliens in the two ports, and all of them have been detained." Yang Rui originally had an expression on his face, but when he saw Si Hongzhuang's expressionless face, he gradually became expressionless. The look of the expression: "They have been clamoring and protesting, asking us to give an explanation."

Last night, a considerable number of foreigners chose to help the Han people. They participated in the suppression of the attackers, but they were detained by the garrison.Foreigners who feel that they have made no mistakes, they don't understand why they are imprisoned, and they think that the Han people are repaying their kindness.

"An explanation?" Si Hongzhuang still had that dead face: "Big man, when do you need to give an explanation to the foreign race?"
