Chapter 1160 Encounter

Boom boom boom!

The cannons fired.

One after another shells landed on the place where Japanese pirates gathered, and these guys were thrown off their feet. Jiang Hao didn't spare the shells, he plowed it a few times first, and then sent people ashore to clean up the battlefield.

Killing the Japanese pirates, collecting supplies, and rescuing the people of Ming Dynasty captured by the Japanese pirates, the whole operation was completed in one go.

In this way, in five days, Jiang Hao led people to loot four Japanese pirate gathering places, killed thousands of people, including more than two hundred real Japanese, and seized gold and silver properties worth five or six thousand taels of silver, as well as two ships. The value of things is not less than six or seven thousand taels.

There were two boats when I went there, but it turned into six boats when I came back. The robbery operation harvested four 3-masted warships, and these boats can be sold for several thousand taels.

Return with a rewarding experience!

The ship stopped at the pier and ordered people to unload the goods. Boxes and loads of things were moved down. Yuan De watched countless materials being filled into the warehouse, and laughed from ear to ear. "It turns out that it is true that the adults said to fill these warehouses .”

Once you have money, the next step is naturally to divide the money.

When Jiang Hao gave an order, he divided according to the rules set before. After the accounts were calculated, every hundred households, chiefs, and soldiers got their share.

When had they ever seen so much money, this time they really got rich.

At the same time, he was more convinced of Jiang Hao. Unexpectedly, this Lord Jiang really kept his promise, and he would do whatever he said, which is really admirable.

Jiang Hao called a few hundred households over and said, "We still have too few people. Is there any way to gather people as soon as possible, preferably those who are familiar with boating and fighting?"

Xu Quan from a hundred households cupped his hands and said: "Your Excellency, you can find them. The imperial court also recruited soldiers before and conducted drills. Later, many of them were dismissed due to various reasons. These people are in the countryside. As long as they are paid enough, they can be recruited."

Veterans who have received training and even participated in battles, although they are sometimes a bit slippery, the foundation is still there, which can save a lot of trouble.

Jiang Hao swept towards the others, "All of you, go out and recruit people for me. The four ships we newly robbed are still empty and must be filled, and there will be more ships in the future. The more people the better, don't be afraid of spending money." money."

"Yes, my lord."

A few guys went to take orders, Jiang Hao found Yuan De again, and ordered Yuan De to increase the production of shells and gunpowder, as much as he could make, and the materials in the warehouse, so that Yuan De could find a way to sell them , Exchange it for real money and pull it back.

In this way, after half a month of busy work, the Putuo Guardhouse changed drastically. There were only more than 500 soldiers left in the past, but now not only has the quota been filled, but there are also 200 to 300 more soldiers. Soldiers are treated the same.

Now there is enough food, enough to eat, and everyone is full of energy.

A few days later, the supplies were loaded on the ship, and Jiang Hao took people out to sea again, this time going north, at a farther distance, heading directly to the coast of Hangzhou, Songjiang, and Suzhou Prefecture.

These places have already been investigated. As soon as they meet, Jiang Hao greets them with artillery fire. Those Japanese pirates never expected that the Ming army would come to kill them from the sea. They didn't have a little bit of defense. .

This time it took longer to go to sea. It took 12 days to wipe out 7 Japanese pirate gathering points. Of these five warships, two of them are five-masted.

Jiang Hao looked at the things and said with a smile: "As expected of Suzhou and Hangzhou, it is rich, even the pirates are richer than ours."

Several hundreds of households giggled together.

"You still have tasks to go back to. Continue to recruit people. You have to fill up the five newly acquired ships. We can fight if there are people. When there are more people, we can snatch the larger groups of Japanese pirates. Those guys are really good. They are rich." Jiang Hao said.

"Follow your orders."

Several guys shouted with high spirits.

When the ship returned to the port, Yuan De led people to greet him at the pier early on. After seeing Jiang Hao, he greeted with a smile, "Congratulations, my lord, on his triumphant return. My lord, this time I have gained a lot, right?"

You know, he, Yuan De, is part of it. Last time, Yuan De was allocated more than five hundred taels of silver, and he was beautiful with the silver for several days.

"The harvest this time is not bad, almost three times that of last time." Jiang Hao said casually.

Yuan De was overjoyed, and immediately ordered people to move things down, and then said to Jiang Hao with a smile: "My lord, Yuan De would like to congratulate you here."

"Oh, congratulations on what?"

Yuan De took out a document from his sleeve, presented it to Jiang Hao, and said at the same time: "My lord, our money is not wasted, your appointment has been made, from now on, you are the thousand households of the Putuo Guard, and you are in charge of the guard. all affairs."

This is indeed a joy. Jiang Hao took the document and looked at it, then put it into his sleeve with a smile, "Yuan De, you did a good job, by the way, are you almost finished with your pills?"

"Yes~ yes."

Jiang Hao took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to Yuan De, "Here is a month's supply, you can keep it, Yuan De, as long as you sincerely work with me, I will not treat you badly, money, your portion, as for I can remove this poison at any time, and when I don't worry about you, I can naturally remove it for you."

Yuan De suddenly knelt down and said: "My lord, Yuan De is willing to be loyal to your lord and follow you sincerely. In fact, our family has already boarded your lord's boat and can't get off. If the court knows about what we have done, then our family will also be punished." Head off."

Jiang Hao patted Yuan De on the shoulder, "Hehe, work hard."

In this era, there are too many poor people. Under the lure of full food and high wages, countless people join the Putuo Guard. Jiang Hao now only lists them as boatmen and handymen. There is no limit to this thing. You can recruit more money.

Money is easy to do. This principle worked well in that dynasty. It took less than a month for the newly acquired warships to be filled with people. Now Jiang Hao has 11 ships and more than 2,000 soldiers.

With more people and more boats, Jiang Hao was more confident. He stood in front of the chart and pondered for a long time. He had a new plan. Two days later, everything was fully prepared. Jiang Hao led the fleet to set off again, this time going south, preparing to attack the coast of Fujian. Japanese pirates.

Seagulls are flying in the sky, sending back the information they saw from time to time. Suddenly, in the mind of the seagulls, Jiang Hao saw four ships sailing on the sea. This is not the point, the point is that these ships are galleons. Netherlands flag on flagpole.

Jiang Hao knew the history of the Ming Dynasty. During this period, the Dutch national power was advancing by leaps and bounds. They even had the idea of ​​invading China and put it into practice. They invaded the Penghu Islands and Ryukyu.

But this period seems to be earlier, what are they doing now?

Jiang Hao pondered for a while, and decided to follow and have a look.

He ordered the seagulls to keep tracking and investigating, and the fleet sailed far away. Finally, in a bay, Jiang Hao saw two more ships approaching, and the flags of the Sun Moon God Sect were flying on the two ships.

On the deck of a ship, standing a woman in a big red robe, Jiang Hao immediately recognized that it was Dongfang Bubai!

Dongfang Invincible made contact with the Dutchman, what are they going to do?

With a thought, Jiang Hao seemed to understand her intentions. Since Daming can trade with the Dutch, so can Dongfang Bubai. She is determined to overthrow Daming and want to establish her own regime. The Dutch also have ambitions for Daming and are willing to see When Daming was in chaos, the deal with Dongfang Bubai was logical.

Dongfang Bubai stood at the bow of the ship, negotiated with the Dutch through thousands of miles of sound transmission, and finally reached a deal. The big boxes were moved to the Dutch warship, and finally the Dutch left two galleon warships to leave.

When returning, Dongfang Bubai ordered people to unload the Dutch flag and replace it with the flag of the Sun Moon God Sect, and returned to the voyage in high spirits.

Jiang Hao thought for a while, and ordered people to follow up. The ship sailed until evening, and the Dongfang Bubai fleet stopped at the port of the gathering place in Taizhou. He ordered people to take care of the battleship, and went back to the station directly.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Hao's eyes lit up immediately, and he called a few hundred households to order: "Tonight we will rob the gathering place of the Taizhou Ronin Camp, you are ready."

"Yes, my lord."
