Chapter 550 Retribution, nationwide retribution

Yang Yi, deputy general of the Beiyang Navy, was one of the sailors on the ship in Huangzhen that year, and later changed his surname, looked at the dead body of Admiral Huang on the ground and blew the smoke from the muzzle...

"Dare you still betray the Duke of Yingguo?"

He said contemptuously.

The navy soldiers in front of them consciously drew their guns, and then looked at Huang Yinen's personal soldiers with a calm look.

The latter threw away the weapon as fast as possible and raised his hands with awkward look on his face.

"Telephone, all ships aim at these big men on the shore and fire freely!"

Yang Yi put away his gun and said.

At this time, the navy officers and the Marine Corps had already begun to change into flintlock rifles. This kind of thing is technically fine, but the cost is relatively high. After all, the pressure plate springs need to be forged and have to undergo complex heat treatment. They must be made by craftsmen with superb skills. However, because of their special nature, the Marine Corps of the Two Oceans Navy had to go out to bully people from time to time in design, so Governor Yang generously matched them with this. The earliest flintlock rifle army in France was also the Marine Corps of the Navy. After all, the landing of the coblin guns was not easy to use.

With his orders, all the officers and soldiers on this battleship with a double-layer artillery deck were busy, and the muzzles of twenty-four jin cannons extended from the gun door.

Short heavy artillery.

Long cannon.

There are even four 24 pound mortars on the deck that are specially used to fire flowering bullets.

All cannons of this battleship are aimed at the shore.

At the same time, accompanied by the flag utterances from the sailors on the mast, all the muzzles on the other three almost identical battleships behind were aimed at the shore, and their muzzles were pointed at Shang Zhou Zuo and Dong Qichang in red robes. However, the latter obviously did not realize the danger. In their opinion, their silver bullet offensive would not fail.

"Check it!"

Yang Yi threw the package on his back to the captain.

The latter immediately took it and opened it, looking at the silver notes inside, immediately exclaiming...

"We Admiral Huang were confused by this thing?"

The captain exclaimed.

"He is too young. This money house was jointly opened by several aristocratic families in Suzhou. There are indeed semicolons in the capital, and even Dengzhou has a semicolon. However, the total amount of money houses in the capital is only 500,000 yuan, and Dengzhou is less than 50,000 yuan. All the semicolons in Beizhili and Shandong may not be able to pay this million. Does he still want to go to Suzhou to get the silver himself?"

He looked at Admiral Huang, who had gray hair, and then said.

"He can't take it out, but our grandfather can!"

Yang Yi said with a smile.

"That's what we need to close!"

The captain said.

At the same time, flames spewed out from the muzzles under their feet...

"These dog stuff!"

Shang and Zhou Zuo on the shore looked at the warships that seemed to erupting a volcano, and screamed in shock.

Almost at the same time, shells roared down.

The officials and soldiers on the shore suddenly exploded. Huge shells fell like meteorites among them, and even solid bullets still burst into pieces of blood and flesh. The side lights of the other three battleships in the distance were also sprayed with fire and smoke. More shells were suddenly covered by smoke from these battleships, like giant beasts carrying demon fog, and then fell among them like storms.

In the soil and bloody rain caused by the shells, Shangshu, who was also considered to be weathered, screamed in horror, stumbled and ran without any image, and then suddenly collided with Dong Qichang, who was also like a headless fly.

Master Dong was covered in mud, his official hat on his head also fell off, and there were still several scratches on his hands that could draw masterpieces from generation to generation.

"Jump into the water!"

Shang and Zhou Zuo pulled him and shouted.

The next moment, a strange howling sounded above my head.

They watched in surprise as a shell landed not far from the sky, but its power was very weak. They bounced a little after landing, and then slowly rolled on the ground, a little fire appeared as it rolled...

"False, a false alarm!"

Master Dong wiped his face and said.

The next moment, the shell turned into a ball of explosive flames, and the huge force collided with smoke and mud and sand. Shang and Zhou Zuo saw Master Dong's body flying up and hit him directly. The two of them poured into the mud and water next to them. Fortunately, it was the black gunpowder flowering bullet after all, and even the twenty-four pound shells had limited power. Then Shang and Zhou Zuo were the first to struggle to get up, but Master Dong was hit on his leg by a shrapnel...

This leg is useless.

Fortunately, his legs were useless and he couldn't affect his paintings.

Amid Master Dong's heart-wrenching screams, Shang and Zhou Zuo looked at the four battleships angrily.

The latter is still constantly ejecting flames.

Even if there is only one side facing this side, there are more than one hundred cannons on the four battleships. The scene of their volleys is spectacular enough, and the shells they project every minute are also brutal enough. The officials and regiments on the entire dock seem to be ducks chased by wild dogs.

Someone was calling for help from the navy.

But whether it is the Caojiang Navy or the anti-smuggling team, they all watched honestly on the Huangpu River.

No one dared to step forward.

Obviously they were also frightened.

This is the first time these new battleships have shown their power since they were built. The old navy generals who had only felt that there were many ships and cannons to them. This is the first time that they have seen the level gap and cannot be fought! There are indeed more than 100 messy battleships here, and there are even more than 20 new cruisers, but when they fight these four battleships, they are almost powerless to fight back. I guess they can sink several of them in one volley.

"Sibai Gong, we have to create this too!"

Shang and Zhou Zuo said.

The poor Master Dong could only respond to him with a scream.

After more than ten minutes of raging, the Beiyang Navy turned around like an irresponsible scumbag, leaving with satisfaction. They then took the tide to the Haimen Waterway, and swaggered into the Yangtze River in the horrified eyes of the Chongming gentry, and then drove upstream unimpededly.

At the same time, Shang and Zhou Zuo, who returned to Shanghai, reported another complaint from Yang Xin that he had rebelled. He killed one Duke of Wei, including the Duke of Wei, in Nanjing, and reported that the Beiyang Navy rebelled and bombarded Wusongkou, seriously injured Dong Qichang, the Minister of Rites of Nanjing. However, he also knew that such a memorial would be difficult to make any comments. At least for now, even if Tianqi really abandoned Yang Xin, he would not take action. After all, Yang Xin's reclamation area directly threatened the capital.

Even the Beiyang Navy will not have any explanation. The Weihaiwei area has also been controlled by Yang Xin. These naval officers are from Yangjiazhuang households, and most of the soldiers are fishermen and military households in Dengzhou area. The newly built fortress on Liugong Island is like a solid wall.

The court punishes the crime?

It is estimated that it is impossible for the officials sent to set foot on Liugong Island alive.

But the Shang and Zhou dynasties did not expect these.

Just as the memorial was made, he began to incite Su Song and even the gentry of Zhejiang to quickly start building similar battleships.

Isn't it just silver!

Is it time to care about money?

As for the technology is not worth mentioning, what do the Dutch people who trade in various places know? They even have their own shipyards in Batavia, and the Portuguese also have them in Goa, so they can ask them to help build them. Although the time is too late, they must be considered in the long run. What if this war really lasts for a long time?

The Beiyang Navy occasionally shelled and even blocked trade, and the loss was not the little money for building ships.

If it really doesn't work, just buy it directly.

Purchase from the Dutch, the Portuguese or even the Spaniards. In short, there must be a fleet along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang that can block the Beiyang Navy.

In addition, as he said to Liu Kongzhao, while submitting the memorial, he described Yang Xin's evil deeds in Nanjing to various places in the form of a public document, and invited the governors from all over the country to fight against traitors. This is considered to have officially abandoned the apocalypse. What the emperor likes, don't you always refuse to admit Yang Xin's rebellion? Then we don't need to admit it, we will solve him ourselves, but after the solution, it is really hard to say whether we still recognize you as the emperor.

If we can solve Yang Xin, why should we continue to endure you as a fool?

The Ming Dynasty was not the only choice, just find a vassal king that matched the aesthetics. It just so happened that King Gui had already settled in the country.

Don't you do it well?

Your uncles are waiting!

Moreover, the invitation from Shang and Zhou Zuo was immediately responded by the Fujian Governor Zhu Yifeng, who was the first to announce a rebellion in Fuzhou.

The Fujian gentry firmly supported it.

They quickly found Zheng Zhilong, who was competing with Li Guozhu for Li Dan's inheritance, and the latter formed a Fujian team training...

At this time, Zheng Zhilong had already seized most of Li Dan's industries in Japan. He received full support from the Dutch. In addition, major maritime merchants such as Yan Siqi were allies. They were more eager to return to the era of casual smuggling in the past. Yang Xin's intervention ruined their good days. In the past, Li Dan's prestige was enough to suppress their dissatisfaction, but after Li Dan's death, his heir Li Guozhu must have no ability, and the Nanyang Company gradually squeezed their share. They had long held a grudge against the Nanyang Company.

The Li family doesn't care, because Li Dan's confidant Xu Xinsu is the chief executive of Nanyang Company, and Li Guozhu has long been one of the shareholders.

But Yan Siqi and others were not.

Including Zheng Zhilong.

Once Li Dan died, these maritime merchants and pirates who were controlled by Li Dan as a powerful person in the past quickly formed an alliance to seize the Li family's property in Japan.

Li Guozhu formed an alliance with Nanyang Company, especially with the Yang family in Taiwan.

This period of time has been fighting openly and secretly.

It was when Zhu Yifeng saw this that he won over Zheng Zhilong and Yan Siqi's group and used them to attack Yang Ni.

The purpose of the Fujian gentry was also to destroy the customs system established by Yang Xin, especially the gradually growing Nanyang Group, and then to bring coastal trade back to the smuggling era that everyone loves. After all, the Fujian gentry didn't have to face the division of land for the time being. They didn't have to be as anxious as Governor Zhu, and there was no sufficient interest, especially the core interests that they had to be driven by. They didn't need to jump out so early.

But the out-of-control maritime trade pattern after Li Dan's death gave them enough motivation.
