No matter men, women, old or young, no matter how high their status is, no matter if they are Ming people, Qing people, or Portuguese, missionaries, or governor's guards, soldiers, or homeless people, all of them were handcuffed and fettered by the Huaxia Army and strangled with ropes. Get up, load them on a ship like slaves, and transport them to the other side. On the territory controlled by the Huaxia Army, their final destination is Tingzhou Prefecture, the headquarters of the punishment army where Lin Chenggong is located.

Where they will be screened, and then like the prisoners in the Song Dynasty, their faces will be tattooed, and they will stay in the camp for the rest of their lives, working hard for the Huaxia Army.

There are many western buildings in the trenches, which have an exotic feel, but this is exactly what Zhang Qiang does not want to see. If these buildings are all torn down, then it will not be a matter of the Huaxia Army, and this will be the territory of the Nanming Kingdom.

"Don't let go of a single screw for the equipment in these workshops, and take them all to Quanzhou." Zhang Qiang pointed to the blacksmith's shop on a street built by the Portuguese, as well as some gun repair shops, weapon workshops, and Other Western building industry shops, to the Pro Guard Road below.

The personal guard quickly recorded it.

When he came to the seaside, "Remove all the wood, tools, and various facilities in these shipyards." Regarding these things from the Portuguese, Zhang Qiang wanted to leave them to the Ming army.

Anyway, the Ming army can't use it, they only make money and do business.

Ruan Shu ran over with a navy team, "Meet the Commander."

"What's going on at sea?" Zhang Qiang didn't know much about the battle at sea, but only knew that he had won.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, at sea, most of the enemy sailors went to fight on the road, and many ships did not have enough sailors to sail. Only about 35 enemy warships went to sea. At present, our army has sunk 27 ships and captured [-] ships. Two clippers have escaped, and the other two are in pursuit. It is estimated that there will be news this evening, at most tomorrow.”

"Who is the one who escaped? Did you find out?" Zhang Qiang asked with his hands behind his back.

"It has been investigated clearly that the escaped is the British Governor Macconjie, as well as the Spanish commander, a captain, the remains of the other Spanish governors, the wounded Dutch governor, and the Portuguese governor Schroeder. They are all captured and are currently being held in the Portuguese inside the castle."

"Let's take them away today. The Portuguese have been operating that castle for hundreds of years. Who knows what kind of agency is behind the scenes. It's not safe. Send people to use our cart, which is specially used to detain prisoners, to escort Tingzhou government. No, directly Escorted to the Jinhua Prefecture prison."

"How about the capture?" Zhang Qiang is most concerned about the harvest. He can't fight in vain. So many soldiers of the Huaxia Army died, and even his guards lost more than half because of his carelessness and pride. How about some interest?

Ruan Shudao: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief. On land, I don't know about it. On the sea, there are also castles and fortresses by the sea. The seizures are quite rich. Rong Mo will report to the Commander-in-Chief in detail."

"Okay, this is not the place to report, let's go to the Portuguese castle." Zhang Qiang took the lead to walk to the castle that the Portuguese had been operating here for hundreds of years.

From a distance, one can see a Western Lingbao built on the mountainside, which is very majestic.

A corner of the Lingbao has collapsed, and it seems that the navy used at least 24-pound heavy artillery to pry open the enemy's turtle shell.

Lingbao is about three miles long and two miles wide, and is arranged in a rectangle. Except for a road with two carriages running side by side, the road up the mountain is full of strange rocks and steep roads. The road is about three miles long. The fortifications look like a fortress. To conquer such a fortress, either pile up people and pile them up to the enemy's door to attack, or bombard them with heavy artillery, blasting down one fortress after another.

The navy used heavy artillery to bombard the enemy, and the Huaxia Army no longer disdains the ancient tactic of using people to pile up.

The navy's warships even have heavy guns like 48 pounds, and a fortress like this can be fired in a few shots.

Walking into the already dilapidated castle, a damp, ancient and heavy feeling of moss boulders paves the surface, a little dark and depressing. Zhang Qiang really doesn't understand such a place. Why do Westerners always like to live in it?

The south is already humid. Living in such a damp castle for a period of time, fear of rheumatism has already made people miserable.

The buildings of Westerners are all thick, grand, majestic and towering.

Enter the castle and walk around the castle in less than ten minutes. There are churches, blacksmiths, bakeries, garment shops, taverns, shops, inns, stables, school yards, arsenals, warehouses, weapon showrooms, squares, and conference halls. , everything that one expects to find, and even a few acres of fields with different rules that can be cultivated, it is simply a small city.

A group of people came to the Governor's Mansion. The Governor's Mansion looks like an ancient castle, built on the hillside, and the lord's hall is even wider. The second floor is the lord's living room, the third floor is the weapon showroom, a small banquet hall, and a terrace. The balcony, from here you can overlook the entire castle. The fourth floor of the castle is an archery tower, the warehouse, the fifth floor is a watchtower, and the sixth floor is a big bell. It can be used as a warning, to convene a meeting of the subjects, or to convey some news, and to communicate with the sea. For signaling purposes.

From here, when the weather is clear, you can see the situation of the entire harbor terminal, even the situation far away at sea, as well as the situation of a dozen miles inland.

After stopping here for a while, Zhang Qiang sighed. Westerners have developed civilization, but they have never lost their blood. The warlike and aggressive character in their bones has continued, and no matter which dynasty in the entire Chinese land, there is always no war. Ten years later, the horses were released in Nanshan, the knives and guns were stored in the warehouse, and they began to enjoy a comfortable life without thinking about making progress.

This cannot be said to be a tragedy of the Chinese nation, how many times the Chinese nation was conquered by foreign races, and then how many times the Chinese nation stood up again, and every time it stood up, the Chinese nation always thought of turning its people into a flock of sheep for They slaughtered and entertained at any time. When the people were suffering, they lost their lives, lost their wealth and dynasty, and then the Chinese nation always went through labor pains again, and then reborn from Nirvana.

Whether this is good or bad, Zhang Qiang is unable to comment.

"General Governor, it's windy up there, go down, General Ruan Shu is ready to report the situation to you." Zhang Qiang, the personal guard, said.

4 ten chapters huge seizure

Back in the lord's hall of the castle and sat down, Zhang Qiang held a cup of coffee that Westerners drank, and quietly listened to the navy's capture.

Ruan Shudao: "To the Commander-in-Chief, in addition to capturing the fleeing governors of various countries, the Navy also captured the escaped Japanese daimyo Tokuyasu and his generals, a total of 720 Japanese."

"Take it away and send it to Jinhua Mansion." Zhang Qiang was not interested in these captured people.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, let's start with the seizure of the Japanese supplies." After speaking, he flipped through the account books.

"This time, 120 Japanese warships were seized, imitating my Ming Dynasty's Fuchuan, and used to transport soldiers and supplies, a total of 130 ships. At the same time, there were other Ming Dynasty pirates' Guangzhou Ships, 120 Fuchuan, and those who accompanied the army were detained. There are 35 Japanese merchants, 730 pirate merchants from Ming Dynasty in Japan, and [-] sailors to protect them.”

Zhang Qiang interrupted him, "Send all the people to Tingzhou Prefecture for labor reform, and those who refuse to accept are sent to hard labor camps, where they will work to death, and they will never be reborn forever."

"Yes, Chief Governor." Ruan Shu agreed, and then continued:

"According to statistics, this time Japan, the Ming Dynasty, brought a total of 350 Japanese-style swords, 59 Japanese-style iron guns, 350 Japanese-style cannons, 500 barrels of gunpowder, 690 million rounds of lead bullets, and 350 pieces of matchlocks. Roots, 350 sets of Japanese-style armor, 350 Japanese war horses, and 350 pieces of wood and [-] pieces of planks for Japanese ship repairs, etc. According to preliminary statistics, the total value is [-] million taels of silver.”

"Also, the Japanese brought a total of 300 million taels of gold and silver, and a total of 230 million taels of grain and grass."

"That's right, all of these were moved to the governor's warehouse in Jinhua Mansion and handed over to the household department for statistics."

Ruan Shu continued: "Let's talk about the British, this time the British captured 75 warships, including 32 three-masted ships, and more than 88 colonial merchant ships that followed the British, 300 of which were armed merchant ships. Enemy sailors, soldiers, merchants, [-] people."

"In addition, the capture of the British allowed you to have 310 war horses, 120 sets of armor, 1 weapons, and a total of 3000 matchlock guns. [-] barrels, [-] shells, [-] lead bullets, [-] matchlocks, [-] pieces of wood for ship repair, and [-] yuan for planks."

"Furthermore, the British have a total of 130 million taels of gold and silver, as well as various commodities worth a total of 100 million taels,"

"Hmph, it's really reckless to rob us with so much money. Send these to the governor's treasury in Jinhua Mansion, let the Ministry of Household statistics, and include them in the treasury revenue."

Zhang Qiang snorted angrily, and coldly put all the enemy's supplies, money and food into the Huaxia Army's bag. He also wanted to give it to the Ming Army. In this way, they fought against the Thai-Western coalition with almost [-] troops, and lost more than one hundred thousand people in the fight for more than half a month, and were defeated by others in the end, almost hurting themselves.

"Then there are the Spaniards. The Spaniards have brought over 300 ships this time, including more than 30 Clark warships, 200 Galen sailing ships, and some merchant ships from the Ming people in Southeast Asia and the merchant ships from the Spaniards. More than 100 ships brought a lot of goods, but not much weapons and equipment. Gold and silver only brought more than [-] million taels."

"The Spaniards are really poor." Zhang Qiang said with contempt.

"However, the Spaniards brought more than 3000 Spanish matchlock guns and more than 200 artillery pieces, most of which were heavy guns, 24-pound, 32-pound, 3-pound, shells and bullets, and more than [-] gunpowder." Ruan Shu said.

"Where is Ruan Wu?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"Currently in the Third Fleet, staying in Baozhong Port." Ruan Shu looked at Zhang Qiang in surprise, wondering why Zhang Qiang suddenly thought of Ruan Wu.

"Transfer him here, promote him to admiral, and form the Sixth Fleet of the Navy, stationed in Haomen. A Marine Corps of the Navy will be stationed in this castle and the harbor pier. From now on, Haomen will be the station of our Sixth Fleet. gone."

"Well, what about the size of the Sixth Fleet? It can be smaller. Too many troops are not in line with our friendship with Nanming. As for the ships used in the fleet, we will use Spanish and British ships to make up [-] galleons. , [-] Clark sailing ships went in, and [-] Guangzhou ships from the Ming army went in, a total of [-] warships. Considering that the soldiers of the naval squadron were to be transported, ten more Fuchuan were added. Mobilize inside the merchant ship."

Although Zhang Qiang gave up the territory of Haomenjing, he did not give up the right to garrison troops. It is not far from the garrison of the Fourth Fleet. The two sides can support each other, control the sea lanes, and collect tolls. Fei's income.

You can also monitor the Nanming navy and army nearby.

"You choose Galen ships and Clark ships that are in good condition, as well as Guangchuan, Fuchuan, [-] ships, and organize them into your fourth fleet, so that the fourth fleet can be expanded, so that it can deal with more troubles. Others Then replace a batch of older warships for the Second Fleet, Third Fleet, and Fifth Fleet, and send some warships to them, so that our total five fleets can increase some strength. Such strength, I think Zheng Chenggong will not dare to challenge us in the future, and we will develop further afield in the future."

Ruan Shu was stunned for a while, and then happily said: "In this way, our navy will have [-] super warships, more than [-] warships, and more than [-] warships. Thousands of ships, plus a thousand auxiliary medium-sized warships, some armed merchant ships, and small warships patrolling the coast, our Huaxia Army's navy has reached more than [-] ships. Colossal, no one can beat us."

"Well, the warships of the Dutch and Portuguese have not yet been announced. My plan is to incorporate all these Western warships and expand our navy. Work hard, and you can also get a navy in the future." Division, not a fleet of more than 200 warships." Zhang Qiang also happily told Ruan Shu.

"Thank you for the promotion of the Commander-in-Chief. In the end, the general must be devastated, and he will die for the Huaxia Army." Ruan Shu bowed down.
