It happened that the house leaked and it rained all night, which is what we are talking about today. As these savages got closer and closer, the slaves who had been suppressed by the maritime merchants also began to resist. With the mentality of perishing together, they worked hard with these seafarers to open the door for their compatriots.
Gap in position.
These maritime merchants were not regular soldiers. Even though they had the advantage of weapons, the mining area soon fell in the face of internal and external attacks. The maritime merchants had to follow their men and retreat to the dock area.
Zhen Xing and the others saw that the situation in Jinshan was getting more and more dangerous. What was originally a good paradise had become a war-torn place in a short time, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
At this time, the sailors who just wanted to dig for gold didn't say anything. They wanted to make a fortune, not die. Now there are tens of thousands of savages outside besieging this place. If they get off the ship, they are really looking for death.
At this time, Zhen Quan made a decisive decision: "Get the boat out of the dock immediately, we don't want them to harm Chiyu!"
This time, none of the sailors refused this order. The sailors took up their positions, unfurled the sails, turned the ship's bow and left this land of right and wrong.
Before leaving, Zhen Xing thought for a while and said: "Although these people do all kinds of evil, they are our compatriots after all. Let us help them one last time by pushing the cannon up the muzzle and firing at the savages."
Following Zhen Xing's orders, the soldiers pointed the artillery at the dock area and loaded the ammunition.
"Boom, boom, boom!" Dozens of artillery bombarded the area where the savages were the most. The power of the artillery for a time frightened the savages.
But Zhen Xing helped them this time. After this round of artillery, Zhen Xing's team quickly left the port.
However, this round of artillery reminded these sailors that they had the advantage in firepower, so why did they fight these savages?
These captains immediately shouted to their men: "Everyone get on board, we will bombard these savages with artillery."
】
Although there are a few cannons they carry in the mining area, they are all 10-pound cannons that are light in weight and low in power.
The tens of thousands of heavy naval guns are still on the ship. They have hundreds of such artillery pieces, but because they are too heavy, they have placed them all on the ship. Zhen Xing's actions reminded these captains to use naval guns to destroy these enemies.
These crew members kept breaking away from the battle with the savages, and they boarded the ship one by one.
Then they drove the ship within 10 feet of the port, so that these savages could only look at their ship but could not do anything to them. They could only scream incompetently or shoot at the ship with their bows and arrows, but these attacks
Almost of no use.
At this time, seven ships lined up in a row, all their guns aimed at the savages in the port!
The captains shouted angrily: "Fire!"
"Boom, boom, boom!" All the hundreds of artillery pieces on the seven warships opened fire, and the entire residential area of the dock area was filled with gunpowder smoke. This area was also the area where the savages gathered the most. Suddenly it was bombarded by such fierce artillery. Soon, the area was filled with smoke.
Rivers of blood flowed, and the savages suffered heavy casualties. Under the power of naval guns, they were defeated and quickly fled the area.
Of course, these sailors did not pay the price. The city they worked hard to build for half a year was completely destroyed by their own artillery.
When they stopped firing artillery and saw the dilapidated town, they really wanted to cry. Their construction results were completely formatted and everything had to start from scratch.
Let’s talk about two things! The Age of Navigation launched by Xu Wei has been a hot spot for two consecutive years, and all kinds of news related to maritime merchants have poured into Jidu.
The ship sank there, and hundreds of sailors were wiped out. The ship ran aground, and hundreds of people could only live on the desert island and become savages. How else would a fleet simply occupy a place, dominate the mountain and become king? He married the king of a small country, and the people of Daqian were dazzled by all kinds of true and false news.
Of course, the biggest hotspot is Jinshan on the Casino Peninsula.
At first, this news attracted tens of thousands of Daqian people to dig out gold. Now it is spread from time to time. Who has dug up a piece of nugget gold worth hundreds of kilograms? A hundred catties of gold returned to Jidu and became a new upstart.
It can be said that the power of money is undoubtedly revealed at this moment. Even if the gold is not mined by oneself, the people are willing to hear the news of getting rich overnight, and also bring themselves into the protagonist's vision, thinking that this gold is How good would your own be.
For big money executives, the discovery of the New World was a mixed blessing.
Fortunately, a new hot spot has appeared in Daqian's economy. A large number of gold diggers went to the gambling city. In just half a year, they brought 100,000 kilograms of gold, 500,000 kilograms of silver, and precious animal skins to Jidu. , these precious metals have brought vitality to Daqian's economy. The furs of these animals have reduced the price of Daqian's leather jackets by half, and the wealthy middle class can also buy an expensive leather jacket to show off.
At the same time, it also brought tens of thousands of high-spending people. After all, the situation in the gambling city was worse than that of Japan. The city was closed by ice and snow for most of the year. Those gold diggers had to return to Daqian starting from October. Otherwise, they won't be able to leave even if they want to.
But what worries me is that these gold diggers and merchants are lawless. When they were on the island, they tried their best to capture the savages in Japan in order to prospect for gold. But because they were close, the court could still watch them, so they did not dare Too much.
But now that they have gone to the gold mines in the casino, they have become even more lawless. Capturing savages to help them dig for gold is nothing. Many people simply form gangs to rob the weak gold diggers, or become pirates. They specialize in robbing gold-carrying ships returning to Jidu. There are also other behaviors such as forced buying and selling, cheating, fighting for the king, etc. It can be said that the New World has become a lawless existence.
"The government can no longer let those maritime merchants drink gold diggers and be lawless. If this continues, the New World will lose control!" Niu Gui said angrily.
Li Gang also said: "Not only do we want to control the gold mining areas, many maritime merchants have already established strongholds in the New World, and now they have recruited people in the country and plan to build a new trading post. But if they are allowed to continue like this, the New World will There will inevitably be separatist forces that are not controlled by the imperial court, and we must now find ways to subdue them so that the imperial court can control the New World."
From the perspective of senior officials like Li Gang, separatist forces that are not controlled by the Daqian court are not allowed to appear. Even if you want to build a city in the New World, you must start construction under the command of the court, and officials must be sent by the court. A commoner with a flat head What qualifications do you have to build a city? I have included you based on your merits.
