"Commander, what should we do with the captured red-haired barbarians?"
On the red-haired barbarian warships captured by the Tiger Flag, many red-haired barbarian sailors were also arrested. The sailors on these ships came to the East to make money, and there was not much loyalty at all.
Zheng Tie raised the corner of his mouth and said in a cold voice: "Since you dare to come to Bengang, then leave your life behind! No one is left, and they are all thrown into the sea to feed the fish."
The people next to me ran to deliver the order.
Soon, the two captured warships began to throw things into the sea, just like throwing sacks, and the red-haired barbarians were thrown off the ship one by one.
No matter how much these red-haired barbarians screamed and begged on their knees, the sailors on the Tiger Flag side did not even change the expression on their faces, dragged them to the deck, and threw them into the sea from the side of the ship.
Every red-haired barbarian who was thrown into the sea had his hands tied behind his back. It was almost difficult to survive if he fell into the sea like this.
The main ship Zheng Tie was on began to return, and other ships around him followed suit. The two captured red-haired barbarian warships, after leaving all the red-haired barbarian sailors and going into the sea, were also escorted by surrounding sailboats. Next, return to the port.
After the two naval battles, many ships were damaged. Each of the several Galen ships and sand ships had damaged parts on their hulls. Without a major overhaul, they could no longer sail far.
Other small boats also suffered a lot of losses, especially sailing ships, which suffered the largest number of losses. Several of them had to collide with the fire ships and die together in order to intercept the fire ships of the Ming Navy.
The fleet appeared on the sea in the port.
The people on the dock shouted and cheered loudly, celebrating the victory of their fleet.
There are not only Tiger Flag soldiers living in Bengang, but also many ordinary people. These people are the main force in the reclamation of Bengang. These people are cultivating the surrounding sugar cane fields.
Squeezing sugar and building ships also require manpower.
It can be said that these people are all people under the rule of the Tiger Flag.
The warships of the Tiger Flag went to sea to meet the enemy, but these people could only stay in Bengang. Although they did not need to fight, everyone was worried about the battle at sea.
Under the rule of the Tiger Banner, they lived a good life, even better than the days they lived in the Ming Dynasty. No one wanted to lose such a good life.
Once the Tiger Flag fleet is defeated, they will fall into the hands of the aliens.
In particular, some people from Liaodong were very aware of how miserable life was under foreign rule, and no one wanted to live such precarious days anymore.
Zheng Tie disembarked from the port, and the main ship was sent along the inland river to the shipyard for maintenance.
"Congratulations, Commander. After this battle, no one dares to peep at Bengang." Li Zhao, who was staying at the dock, quickly came up to him and personally helped Zheng Tie from the ship to the dock.
Zheng Tie faced the people on the pier and shouted loudly: "Bengang is the Bengang of the tiger-character flag. As long as the tiger-character flag is still here, no one can take away Bengang."
"Long live the Tiger Flag!"
First, a person on the dock shouted, and soon the soldiers on the dock and the people around the port shouted long live.
As for what the Ming Dynasty will do when the tiger-character flag is shouted "Long Live the Tiger", no one cares about it, and no one cares about this.
Damuan Island is an island surrounded by the sea, and the official ships of the Ming Dynasty have never been to Damuan Island, so the people on the island only recognize the tiger-character flag and not the Ming Dynasty court.
After all, the people living on the island did not have a good life in the Ming Dynasty, and could even be said to be very disappointed. Those people who were born in Liaodong had completely given up on the Ming court.
Because each of them knew that if they had not been brought to this island by the Tiger Flag ship, I am afraid that they would have died in Liaodong, and even if they did not die, they would only be able to survive.
The shouts of long live gradually became quieter.
After being evacuated by the soldiers, ordinary people in the port left the port one after another, returning to their homes or doing their own things.
Especially the boat workers will be very busy next time.
"I didn't expect that the Ming Navy would actually take action. Fortunately, there were two Galen ships left here in the port to guard against them." Li Zhao said bitterly.
The navy of the Ming Dynasty took advantage of the battle between the Tiger Flag and the red-haired barbarians to deal with the fleet of the Tiger Flag, which made him very angry.
If it weren't for the fact that there were several Galen ships and sand ships hidden in the inland river, it might have been taken advantage of by the Ming Navy.
Zheng Tie had a sullen face.
In the past few years since he came to Damuan Island, he never did anything excessive because he and the ships from the Ming Dynasty were both Han Chinese. Many times, he would help the merchant ships from the Ming Dynasty when they were in danger.
At the same time, he did not rob people from coastal areas such as Fujian like Yan Siqi.
Even so, Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian, still regarded them as a thorn in his side, and even took advantage of the Hong Maoyi fleet to attack Bengang, sending the Ming navy to take advantage of others' danger.
Li Zhao said with a dark face: "We can no longer be polite to Ming Dynasty. They simply regard our concession as weakness and easy to bully."
"Well, you are right. Since they did the first day of the new year, don't blame us for doing the fifteenth day." Zheng Tie said, "From now on, I am going to issue orders with our tiger flag to all ships passing through this area. flag."
In the past, it was necessary to hide the strength, and the command flag of the Tiger Flag was not powerful enough at sea. Now the Tiger Flag fleet has defeated the Red Maoyi fleet and the Ming Navy one after another.
The fleet of tiger-character flags has completely become famous and has become a powerful maritime force in this area. It is qualified for passing ships to purchase tiger-character flags and pay safe silver.
"I agree, and I believe Chief of Staff Yan and the others will not object," Li Zhao said.
The Ming Dynasty court had a sea ban, and there were a lot of ships that could ply the sea from the Ming Dynasty. The owners behind these ships were mostly nobles and gentry.
In the past, I was worried about my relationship with Daming, so I didn't let go to collect Ping An's money.
Now that he has broken his heart, he naturally doesn't care anymore, and the profits of maritime merchants are huge. Collecting Ping An silver from these merchant ships will bring a lot of income to Tiger Flag.
Zheng Tie stayed at the dock and did not leave. He had to wait for Yan Weixin and others from the sea to come back.
The two Galen ships Yan Weixin brought to the sea are the only two Galen ships they have left that are intact.
Next, the sea defense here in Bengang will rely on these two intact Galen ships until other warships are repaired and can go to sea.
He was not kept waiting long, and the two Galen ships at sea returned to the port.
The two Galen ships docked at the port, and Yan Weixin got off the ship and came to the dock.
"The navy of the Ming Army did not stop at Penghu and retreated directly to Fujian. They should not appear again in a short time." Yan Weixin said to Zheng Tie who was waiting at the dock.
