Soon under the guidance of the soldiers, many strong men paddling took up arms. He ran to the side of the boat and looked into the distance.
The man nicknamed Uncle Tie followed everyone's gaze and saw more than ten small boats trying to approach a salt ship.
The soldiers on the ship were attacking with firecrackers.
The soldiers on the boats around the salt boat were also taking the opportunity to attack the water bandits on the small boats.
Although the soldiers' firearms were sharp and their combat power was superior, there were too many water bandits. In addition, the incident happened suddenly, and two small boats had already docked on the salt transport ship.
Just when the water bandits wanted to board the ship, they saw a small boat full of soldiers speeding towards the battlefield. When they were still more than 20 feet away from the battlefield, the soldiers raised their weapons.
With a burst of fierce gunfire.
The water bandits soon couldn't bear the huge casualties and turned around one after another.
After half a stick of incense, they followed the civilian boats and waved the Ming Dynasty Dragon Flag twice in sequence.
Uncle Tie and the others also had their weapons taken away and were sent back to the cabin.
"Those little thieves are really rubbish."
....
"Soon there were bursts of joy and laughter in the cabin."
The entire fleet was immersed in an atmosphere of joy.
Only the leading general looked a little worried.
"Send the order and tell the soldiers on the ship to be on alert."
said the leading general.
Although everyone in the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty respects Your Majesty at the moment, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is because the troops of the Ming Dynasty all obey your Majesty.
Things were better in the northern regions. Under the tough attitude and strong oppression of the imperial court, local powerful people gathered their claws and handed over real power to the imperial court.
But this is no longer the case in the south.
Although the south is very peaceful, everyone knows that as the south is an important source of tax revenue for the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court will never allow the south to not be controlled by the imperial court.
But the powerful landowners in the south are not vegetarians, and they will not be managed by the court willingly.
The practice of bribing soldiers and generals has never ceased since His Majesty ascended the throne.
Your Majesty knew this very well, but he did not stop it.
There are even rumors that all this was planned by His Majesty.
Although I don’t know what His Majesty’s intentions are, a stable Jiangnan region is what Ming Dynasty needs.
But at the moment, it seems that the stability in the south of the Ming Dynasty may not last long.
After all, these people even dare to attack the imperial salt ship. Who knows what else they dare not do?
"I wonder what the final direction of the Ming Dynasty will be?"
The guard general said.
"Did you see it? The equipment of the Ming Dynasty's regular army is really too powerful. The soldiers we trained are vulnerable even if they are five against one in front of the Ming Dynasty's regular army."
Not far from the fleet, Zuo Liangyu, dressed as a martial artist, said to a group of people wearing brocade clothes.
In the first year of Chongzhen (1628), a mutiny broke out in Ningyuan Guards, and the governor Bi Zisu committed suicide. At that time, Zuo Liangyu was appointed as the commander of Liaodong Cheyouying, but he lost his official position because of this incident.
If we follow the historical trajectory, Zuo Liangyu was reinstated as an official in the third year of Chongzhen (1630), but Zhu Youjian launched an offensive against Jiannu in the second year of Chongzhen, and Zuo Liangyu was left aside.
Later, although many people from the Donglin Party recommended Zuo Liangyu to Zhu Youjian, how could Zhu Youjian, who was already dissatisfied with the Donglin Party, agree to the recommendation of a big traitor by the other party?
But after all, Zuo Liangyu is not arrogant and disobeys the court's discipline, nor does he send troops to plunder places. In addition, in history, the local area made some contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and did not directly surrender to the slaves.
Therefore, Zhu Youjian did not punish the other party.
As a result, Zuo Liangyu, whom Zhu Youjian liked, completely cut off his official career.
Forced to make a living, Zuo Liangyu had to return to his hometown of Linqing Prefecture, Dongchang Prefecture, Shandong Province.
With the reform of the imperial court.
Powerful people in many places were increasingly dissatisfied with the imperial court.
-Those generals who were not welcomed by Zhu Youjian gradually became the guests of the local powerful.
