The fire on the treasure ship was finally slowly extinguished under the heavy rain, and a shipload of gunpowder was saved from the final fate of flying into ashes! Even Liang Chuan found it unbelievable. The wind at sea would stop at any time, and the rain would come at any time. It almost made him doomed, but then he turned around and was able to regain his life!
The remaining Japanese at sea turned the angle of the sail and fled north!
After this battle, Yamamoto Kameda suffered heavy casualties, and fleeing north was their only option. They were not only afraid of being pursued by this master who could control the weather, but also afraid that their own kind would take the opportunity to do something evil!
In times of peace, your enemies are the greatest threat; in times of crisis, it is your own kind that pose the greatest threat to you!
Yamamoto took the remaining ten warships, most of which were damaged in the battle, and fled to the Zhoushan Islands outside Mingzhou.
The islands are densely covered here, allowing them to hide. If you advance, you can attack the merchant ships near Mingzhou to recover from the battle. If you retreat, you can transfer back to the island country, and then make a comeback after recovering. It can be said that this place is the best choice!
In the Ming Dynasty, the reason why the Japanese rebellion was the most serious in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was not to rule out the strong economy in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It was also the sea area here that was suitable for the survival of Japanese pirates. Not only the Japanese liked it, but also many Han people went to the sea and fell into the sea. This is an important birthplace of pirate culture!
No one thought about chasing these Japanese pirates, unless there was a particularly big benefit. It would be difficult to catch and annihilate them, and it might increase unnecessary casualties. Liang Chuan would never allow such a thing to happen at this time.
Liang Chuan still doesn’t know the reason why the Japanese pirates went south. The Japanese pirates in the Ming Dynasty were rather forced out by the imperial court. After the Longqing switch, the Japanese pirates disappeared without a trace. There was no need for war and no force. Great business could be done, so no one thought about it anymore. Let's go be a water thief!
The current national situation is completely different from that of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, Liang Chuan just wants to stay away from these beasts. He does not think that he can fight these beasts to the end with his own strength. This cannot be achieved in one day, nor over many years. No!
It felt so good to survive. He raised his head and let the rain from the sky hit his face. It was real and sober. People around him were busy cleaning up the mess. Liang Chuan just wanted to quietly experience the feeling of surviving this desperate situation. , although this world is not too beautiful, my life is warm enough. I haven’t lived enough good days, so I died in vain. Isn’t it a pity!
If there wasn't so much fighting and killing, and he could quietly fish and farm every day, and lead Heibi around in Fengshan, it might be a good life.
But everything in front of him brought Liang Chuan back to reality. What happened again and again told him that it was not who he wanted to target, but these people kept coming to his door. They didn't even want Ansheng to have a good life!
Strangely enough, when the Little Heavenly Master saw the Japanese pirates fleeing to the north, he stopped singing. At this time, the rain was not so obedient and continued to pour down from the sky. Su Wei laughed and cursed and asked the Little Heavenly Master to invite the Dragon King of the Four Seas. After keeping track of the rain, the Little Heavenly Master rolled his eyes at him: "The old Dragon King is under the water, why don't you ask them to stop casting spells yourself!"
Su Wei smiled happily: "My boss, you are back!"
The fleet approached the treasure ship. Although Su Wei was already quite old, he had followed Liang Chuan to fight in the northwest and traveled far across the ocean. He had never had any physical problems. Listening from a distance, he was full of energy, better than many young people. Still loud!
Liang Chuan said with tears in his eyes: "Lao Wei, I thought I couldn't see you anymore, but you still have the skills to come and save me!"
The sailors on several large ships said in unison: "Welcome my master!"
The voice echoed far away on the sea with great momentum. The sailors lined up on the deck. This boss and the fleet had not seen each other since the establishment of the fleet, but he had a good reputation and had heard many legendary stories about him!
The most embarrassing one is Liang Chuan, who is smoky, black and ugly. If he wasn't really tall, he would be just a passerby!
"Pull the ship over and take away all the artillery. I'm afraid the ship will be useless!"
The power of the Japanese fierce oil fire cabinet was so amazing that Liang Chuan wondered why he had not developed such a good thing himself.
This is really not the fault of Liangchuan. Several large oil fields in the country are all in the north. The base where Liangchuan made his fortune was all in the south. In the south, there are only trees and soil. There is no place to dig for oil!
However, the emergence of this thing has given Liang Chuan new ideas. If this thing is used well, there may be unexpected gains!
Under the command of Yang Baxian and Xia Dehai, two treasure ships came close to each other. The sailors pulled up ropes on the masts and hoisted the cannons over. Most of the gunpowder in the cabins was soaked in water and turned over. It wasn't of much use, so he continued to stay on the treasure ship!
The weight of the artillery is too heavy. Fortunately, the ropes on sea ships can withstand tens of thousands of kilograms of weight, so it is not a problem to lift a few artillery pieces.
It’s the sailors who do the hard work!
At the critical moment when they were hoisting the artillery, Liang Chuan and his party also moved to Yang Baxian's treasure ship. Linghu Little Heavenly Master and others came forward to salute one after another. Although Liang Chuan was in a panic, his energy was still there. The appearance of Northwest is a bit aloof.
It was an open-minded feeling of relief. In the past, Liang Chuan always felt that he was carrying countless burdens and could not be relieved for a moment!
After the cannons were moved, the fleet left the treasure ship.
Under the gaze of everyone, the cabin was filled with new gunpowder brought by the fleet, which had not been exposed to moisture. Liang Shiguang lit a long arrow with fire, and shot an arrow into the cabin. The flames burned for a while, and there was a fierce blast. The explosion detonated the entire cabin, and together with the gunpowder that was not taken away, the entire treasure ship was blown to pieces!
There are hundreds of pieces of gunpowder! The treasure ship was blown to pieces, which shows how solid the ship is!
Xia Dehai loved the boat as much as his life. Seeing his old friend who had been with him for several years end his journey in such a way, the good man actually shed tears!
It's raining heavily, but I don't know whether it's the tears or the rain!
The wreckage of the treasure ship was far more than that of ordinary Japanese ships. The huge keel mast was tilted on the sea. The hull was covered with kerosene and burned black and charred. It took a long time to sink into the sea. This was the first time that Xia Dehai's fleet sank into the sea. One ship!
Not only Xia Dehai, this battle was more tragic than the previous one. Although there were no casualties, the people on the ship suffered severe burns to varying degrees. Everyone was even walking on the edge of death, and almost caused an explosion on the ship. Ammunition will end up sinking into the sea with this treasure ship!
It turns out that even with gunpowder, you are not invincible, not to mention that the gunpowder has the risk of self-explosion!
Liang Chuan patted Xia Dehai on the shoulder and said, "I underestimated the current situation at sea, and the responsibility lies with me."
Xia Dehai gritted his teeth and said: "Master, please give me a few more ships and more cannons, and I will make sure these Japanese people pay with their blood!"
Blood debts have their own debts!
Liang Chuan looked at the direction in which the Japanese were fleeing and said, "Don't worry, there are plenty of opportunities!"
The fleet adjusted its sails and slowly headed south along with the sudden north wind.
Su Wei looked at the group of people Liang Chuanxin had brought. Sure enough, there were several more beautiful girls among them. He stroked his beard and looked like that.
My boss is a crazy lover, so he went north just for Miss Zheng. As expected, his stay this time is just for Miss Zheng!
Yang Baxian hadn't seen Liang Chuan for some years. Liang Chuan's face smelled a lot more weathered, and there was a gold seal on it. His overall temperament was much colder, and he looked more like a gangster!
The fleet cut through the waves and met many merchant ships on the road. When they saw the flag of Qingyuan Port, they all saluted. Many people recognized this fleet. Xia Dehai led this fleet across the South China Sea in the past. It was the largest in scale. It’s instantly recognizable!
Liang Chuan changed his clothes and stood on the bow of the boat with others, how high-spirited he was!
Back then, he was riding a horse across the desert, and now he is sailing across the ocean. Fortunately, the people around him are still the same group of people. Although his brothers were slightly injured, otherwise he would have been uneasy even when he slept!
As soon as he got on the boat, Liang Chuan pulled the little Tianshi over and wanted to ask him about his senior brother Linghu Chuan!
The little Celestial Master behaves like a dog in front of others, but he doesn't even dare to pretend in front of Liang Chuan!
"My senior brother, don't talk about me. Even my father can't find anyone else. He has been down the mountain for decades and never goes back during the holidays. He only appears when something big happens in the mountain!"
Liang Chuan didn't see the strange thing about him being an air burning talisman, but he smelled a faint smell of urine when he got close to him. He often smelled this smell around Lei Yungong back then!
"Did you wet your pants?"
The little Heavenly Master's face turned red and he said angrily: "You're the one who peed your pants!"
Chatting with Su Wei about the current situation of Qingyuan Port, Su Wei explained the current situation of Qingyuan Port in detail, and then reported to Liang Chuan the resettlement situation of the group in the northwest. Su Wei couldn't help but feel heavy about these people!
The Northwest Army had three groups at that time. The Guanjing Iron Cavalry took the western route when they conquered Li Yuanhao. Until Li Yuanhao was killed, there were still guerrillas on the western front. The leader was the famous general Di Qing. Later, Xia Song had a faction in this group. He was taken there for verification, but there was no news at all, and Liang Chuan also had no news.
The remaining Tianxiong Army and Shenji Battalion all retreated to the south. When they left, many of them brought their families with them, and made a special trip back to northern Shaanxi to pick up their relatives!
This is not a short journey. Fortunately, the two battalions had a lot of money at the time, so they were not mistaken for refugees. Under Su Wei's arrangement, the troops were divided into multiple groups, heading south at the same time, and finally met at Qingyuan. It is also the most complete trump card that Liang Chuan has preserved!
Not only these people, but also hundreds of thousands of refugees from northern Shaanxi came back. Because Liang Chuan distributed money and food outside Bianjing City, they calmed down and had the confidence to go south to find what Liang Chuan said. This paradise!
But are Xinghua and Qingyuan a paradise? With eight mountains, one water and one farmland, it is difficult to even nourish the local people with the only land. Hundreds of thousands of refugees were absorbed and accommodated by various places along the way. Only a very small number of people came to Qingyuan, but these people There are still tens of thousands of people, and these people have now become a huge population burden!
How can population be a burden? Liang Chuan just listened to a general idea. Su Wei reported too many things, ranging from the construction of Qinggang Port to the wages of workers in the port office. Liang Chuan just listened to what went in with one ear and came out with the other.
Because he has already seen a stone pagoda in front of him. It is the Wanshou Pagoda on Baogai Mountain. It is the lighthouse of Qingyuan Port and the guiding light for sailors. Seeing it means that home has finally arrived!
