Chapter 250 Lin Jiadao
Chapter 250 Linjia Island
The speed of the Fu Ship and the Spanish brig is different from that of modern thermally powered ships. The journey of a day and a half to two days takes ten days at that time.
After Jiang Feng led his soldiers to leave Dengzhou, the news only said that Jiang Feng was training troops in the military camp at the foot of Yantai Mountain. It was a tightly blocked area, so naturally there were no idle people coming to inquire. Moreover, Shandong guerrillas and commander-level senior military officers were not allowed to see them just by anyone.
In Jiaozhou Bay, the only thing that is rumored is that Luo Yi and Yang Shitou blocked the Aoshan Salt Field. All people entering and leaving must be subject to strict inspections. Generally speaking, such a salt field and the surrounding government and garrisons always have stats that are difficult to explain clearly, and they dare not sue rashly.
The commander of the garrison, Jimo and Jiao County Magistrate, went to Luoyi's military tent every day to make noise and negotiate, hoping to open the salt farm as soon as possible.
Linjia Island is half a day away from Aoshan. They naturally knew that the army of Shandong guerrilla Jiangfeng was by their side. The entire Lin family's private soldiers were mobilized and made every effort to defend at all key locations. Linjia Island is a peninsula. Where the land is connected to the land, the road appears when the tide is low, but when the tide is high, it becomes a lonely island.
The island is full of mountains. Because of the Japanese pirates in the late Zhengde period, beacon towers were set up here on the mountain. However, the beacon towers that were supposed to be guarded by officers and soldiers were inexplicably handed over to the local Lin family, saying that they were guarding the people and guarding the country and saving money and food. In fact, it was just for the convenience of the Lin family's private goods entering and leaving the port.
There are many good ports in Shandong, and some hidden small ports also play a role. Most of the bases for smuggling and pirates are here, but they can truly form a scale, one is Dengzhou, one is Jiaoxian, and one is Shijiuwei. Now both ports are controlled by Jiang Feng.
Most ships and merchants from the north and south chose Dengzhou and Shijiu Port, but they rarely care about this private port of Linjiadao. The reason is that the Lin family has always been engaged in a strong man, and it was not done once to do something bad, so everyone is naturally worried.
In the past, the private ports in Dengzhou were controlled by Japanese pirates. Shijiu Port was under the military port under the control of the garrison. Private merchants at sea did not go to Linjia Island, so they had nowhere to go in the north. Now they had a choice. Jiang Feng relaxed the restrictions on private ports under the suggestion of Monk Li. As long as you pay the deposit and guaranteed by a guarantor, you can enter the port to load and unload the goods. In addition, it was originally a heavy army to guard it. Although Jiang Feng is fierce, he has a reputation for credit in business. As long as you pay the full amount and abide by the rules, no one will cause trouble for you.
Who would go to the Lin family like this? The Lin family could only rely on their own fleet to do business. However, Monk Li's fleet has gradually recovered its vitality. Jiang Feng's more than 20 ships are not vegetarians. Their principle is to immediately fight when they see sea trade ships that are not licensed by Dengzhou on the sea.
Therefore, a family like the Lin family can be said to be severely damaged, which naturally made Jiang Feng grit his teeth with hatred. However, Jiang Feng's power expanded rapidly, and unlike those idiot garrison generals, Jiang Feng's soldiers were of equal quality, so he could only use assassination to take risks.
Of course, with such a family of ancestors who have become officials, they are now a big family that has almost lost their power, and they are now brave or stupid to assassinate the powerful military officer.
Because Linjia Island is mountainous and there are almost no flat land on the island, most of the residences of the Lin family are at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside. Except for the roads connected to the mainland, there is no defense in the rest of the places. They are warehouses of other goods and a port that looks rather simple.
Since the implementation of the ban on the sea, the Ming Dynasty had almost no strong official power at the sea, so these pirates and pirates were the masters of the sea, so there was no defense on the island.
After the assassination began as planned, Lin Family Island's still increased its vigilance, but ten days were enough to send the news back. The death of the assassin and Jiang Feng's safety made the Lin family nervous for a long time, but the death of the assassin made them relax after being on guard for a few days.
Dengzhou's strict blockade made these people not know anything valuable.
So when more than a dozen ships appeared in the sight of those people on the Lin family's beach, many people were stunned. There were only four ships with cannons, and each ship had ten Spanish sailors, who were skilled water fighters and had a teaching effect on the newcomers around.
Of course, there are also ideas that can easily control these white people. Under Ajia's command, although he is the captain of an armed merchant ship, he is relatively familiar with the naval battle of hot weapons. Now he is the commander of this fleet, or to be more precise, the commander of this fleet.
While commanding, there was still some Spanish. The fleet's own translator stood beside him and translated his questions into Chinese. The sailors on the side were conveying to another ship, and several ships crossed the hull and faced the island. The Lin family on the island is worthy of being a master who started his martial arts.
After a little panic, women and children fled to the back of the mountain. Now it is the time of high tide and cannot run to land. Moreover, there are so many large ships on the sea, it is even more dangerous for women, children, elderly and weak to go to sea on a boat, so they simply find cover or something to hide.
However, many young and strong people rushed out of the inside and pushed the boat into the water. At this time, the naval battle was mostly hand-to-hand combat, relying on the word "courage". As long as you fight in front of you, set fire, or climb up to fight, kill the other party, even if you win, this is a common tactic.
It is a bit unwise to deal with a fleet of ships as large as Jiang Feng, but it is better than the other party's development on the shore.
When Agaya saw the boat coming, she couldn't help laughing and said to Jiang Feng beside her in stiff Chinese:
"Sir, I think my boat can deal with these fishermen, why bring so many ship soldiers?"
Jiang Feng stared at the small boat that was getting started. There were probably three or four hundred people. He was rowing desperately towards the direction of the big ship. There were about two hundred materials behind him and began to sail out of the port. He calculated the number of people. At most, there were about eight hundred people. So he smiled and replied:
"When the battle begins, it's on the shore!"
