Under the sunlight, the bright white luster of the silver coin illuminates the appearance of all living beings.
The businessman's eyes showed greed, and the poor people swallowed their saliva when they saw so many silver coins.
The sound of crashing touched the hearts of these people.
"Did you see these silver coins? This is our compensation to you."
"Because the war is coming, the navy of the Qing Dynasty will definitely attack here. To ensure the safety of our army, any uncertain factors must leave here. These silver coins are your forced relocation fee. First come, first served.
"
After waiting for a while, no action was seen from these people.
Chen Mu grabbed a handful of silver coins: "Are you really not going to accept the real silver coins?"
The color of the shining silver coins was so attractive that the people were ready to move but did not dare to come forward.
Seeing that the minds of the people were shaken, Chen Mu added fire: "Except those who were forced to relocate! Let me ask again, are there any fellow villagers who have lost their lives due to the sea ban? Everyone come and sign up. As long as it is confirmed that a sea ship has been lost, we will compensate them.
It’s your expense.”
"The first ten people who report your losses will receive an additional 10% reward!!"
"In addition to this, because the number of forced relocation fees is limited, for the 1,000 households who sign up first, we can give you an extra bag of food. The only thing you have to do is to evacuate to the island within three days. You must leave the coast 30 kilometers away."
Chen Mu said this three times and his mouth felt dry!
But with such huge profits, someone must take risks.
Chen Mu shouted until his mouth went dry, and a middle-aged man raised his hand.
"My lord... I... the boat I went to sea on was requisitioned by the imperial court a long time ago and has not been returned yet. Can I... receive compensation?"
Chen Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he didn't have to delay it anymore.
"Tell me about when your ship was requisitioned? The court didn't compensate you?"
"It's been two years. I've never been given any compensation!" the middle-aged man said solemnly.
Chen Mu nodded: "Yes, we will give you some compensation. But we are not compensating you on behalf of the Qing Dynasty, you know, right?"
"I know!" The middle-aged man nodded cautiously.
He originally relied on the sea for a living. Unexpectedly, during the reign of Emperor Qianlong, he was prohibited from going to the sea many times.
He doesn’t have any good skills, and his life has been difficult for the past two years!
Seeing an advantage, he gritted his teeth and took the lead.
But the middle-aged man didn't expect that these troops composed of foreigners and monks were very trustworthy.
After a while, the middle-aged man's previous records were confirmed.
Two years ago, he did have a boat that was requisitioned and never returned.
The middle-aged man was given thirty taels of silver as compensation.
In addition, he was the first to report a loss, so the accountant specially gave him an extra ten taels of silver.
In addition to this, give him another bag of grain.
"Fellow, you have received your compensation. Don't go to the sea during these times. Don't live here anymore. Otherwise, you will be shot to death by us!"
"Yes, you will definitely not go to the sea, not the sea." The middle-aged man nodded happily: "By the way, sir, can we not move?"
Chen Mu said with a smile but not a smile: "No, any people who do not move within seven days will be forcibly captured by us and forced to work. If you want to be cannon fodder, if you want to die, you can stay here."
The middle-aged man shuddered, kowtowed quickly and left.
He wanted to go home as soon as possible to arrange the relocation of his relatives.
These people seemed to be trustworthy, but those Qing officers and soldiers were not easy to mess with.
Chen Mu picked up the loudspeaker and continued to shout: "Everyone has seen that we are honest and honest, and we do what we say."
"We are soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom. We are descendants of the Han people of the Ming Dynasty. Because they attacked the Qing court, they will definitely send troops to attack Wanwan. You know what the soldiers of the Qing court look like! For your safety, I hope you will come to the court.
Evacuate the island and don’t go near Kiliong Port in the past three months.”
Seeing that many people were hesitant, Chen Mu directly asked the mercenaries to fire their guns.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Hurry up. The first 1,000 households to sign up to be relocated will get a bag of grain. If you don't move in the end, you will all be captured and used as cannon fodder. Regardless of your age, you will all be executed!"
With such a threat, the people below quickly put aside their scruples and signed up bravely.
"Hurry up and evacuate to the island. You must protect yourselves in the mountains and be careful of the Qing army's sweep..."
Seeing the chaos, Chen Mu held up a loudspeaker and shouted loudly: "Everyone, line up, don't crowd, everything is indispensable. Also, now everyone can report people who are close to the Qing Dynasty, businessmen, any whistleblower
, can all win prizes..."
When Chen Mu was doing fair business with the people, compensating for losses, and selecting loyal lackeys of the Qing Dynasty.
At the same time, a large number of troops led by the Dragon Kingdom squad were attacking at Benzhong, Hualien and other ports.
They will use a method similar to Chen Mu's, first obtaining ownership of various ports and military important areas in Wanwan. Then they will make up for their losses and control all fishing boats that can go to sea.
Thanks to the Western Europeans for sending souvenirs.
With so much silver, it is very easy for people to move materials.
…
Time passes quietly.
Two days later, two fuchuan (rushing boats) arrived from the port of Fuzhou in Fujian and Zhejiang.
In addition to carrying a large amount of supplies for the Penghu Navy, this ship also served as a patrol vessel.
I have to complain about the coastal defense construction of the Qing Dynasty.
During the Kangxi period, due to the need to deal with Zheng Keshuang, the navy of Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian and Zhejiang areas totaled 50,000. Unfortunately, after Yongzheng's abolition, the navy of Guangdong, Guangxi and Zhejiang was reduced by half.
By the early Qianlong period, the total naval force of the Qing Dynasty had only recovered to 70,000.
It was not until Lin Shuangwen's uprising that Qianlong mobilized a large number of green battalions to be incorporated into the navy. In the later period, the green battalion navy was maintained at 100,000.
Let’s talk about the warships of the Qianlong period again.
These warships are completely made of Ming Dynasty ships.
Things like Fuchuan that should have been eliminated in the ocean are still shining brightly.
The Qing Dynasty during the Qianlong period was not attacked by foreign devils. It can only be said to be lucky!
As soon as the two supply ships arrived at the Penghu Naval Station, they saw many traces of scorched earth through the telescope.
Seeing the Penghu Navy going as usual, Chief Qian Li Maocai always felt something strange.
"Sir, the people from Camp Biao are letting us enter the harbor!"
Li Maocai shook his head quickly!
Even though he is just a CEO, his status is not low.
He is in charge of logistics.
Those who managed logistics in the feudal era may not have the best fighting ability, but their status and background are definitely not bad.
The sister of Uncle Li Maocai's cousin was the concubine of Governor Li Shiyao.
His relationship is tough!
The new Commander-in-Chief Lin Luo may not know his abilities, but General Li Dazhong and others definitely know their own energy.
There is definitely something wrong with these people who don't greet themselves on a routine basis.
"Stop advancing first!" Li Maocai raised his telescope and looked carefully at the Penghu Navy camp.
"grown ups?"
"If you dare to talk again, I will be the first to chop off your head." Li Maocai scolded the adjutant, and then continued to look at the camp ahead.
After careful observation, I really discovered the problem.
This Penghu camp seems to have been renovated.
Not only that, he didn't see any familiar face to greet him!
"Damn it, there's something wrong with this military camp. Are they rebelling?"
Seeing how cautious the commander of the Fuchuan was, the high school team knew that this duck could not be eaten.
"Tell the fleet to stop hiding and surround them directly!"
"receive!"
As the warships emerged from other places, Li Maocai's troops panicked.
Seeing so many warships, Li Maocai screamed strangely and said in fear: "Hurry up, it's the foreign devils who have captured Penghu. Hurry up and run. By the way, the warships run separately, don't run together! Run back and report to the admiral that the Penghu Navy has been captured."
News!"
Li Maocai was like an ant on a hot pot, and the soldiers of the Qing army also exerted their strength and yelled at the rowing boat.
However, the maximum sailing speed of the Fuchuan was only six or seven knots, which was completely different from the speed of Western warships.
After special modifications by Chen Mu, the Western-style warship can easily reach a speed of thirteen knots during combat.
Soon, they caught up with the lucky boat.
Rumble~
First there was a demonstration bombing of dozens of artillery shells.
Then a loudspeaker shouted:
"Land the sail, surrender without killing!"
The soldiers from the two ships looked at him one after another.
Li Maocai had a look of despair on his face.
"Sir? What should I do?"
"Lower the sails, we can't escape, the foreign enemy's ship is too fast!"
