The two ships that lowered their sails after being fired at with a warning were the merchant ships of the Huan family.
"We also encountered those two ships before we came, but one of them sank and the other is rushing this way."
Huan Song continued to Huang Yi, who was on board the ship: "As soon as the cannon sounded here, the ship turned around and left. ” Of the seven ships that came, six were caught up and sunk by the Xingyang, and only one gave up the chase after nightfall.
The sea is vast, and at night if there are no lights on the ship, it is a full moon day, and it takes enough time and luck to find a ship on the vast sea.
Although he was unwilling, it was indeed a waste of time to continue to look for it, so Liang Min also ordered to sail to the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate.
After the two merchant ships of the Huan family lowered their sails, they were taken over by the small boats that had been lowered earlier from the "Xingyang", and later joined the "Xingyang" to form a formation.
Their position had deviated from the prosperous course, and after re-entering the route, because it was nightfall, unless the hostile enemy ship had long-range high-destruction weapons, it was impossible to engage in broadside battles until the "Xingyang" let go of the two merchant ships of the Huan clan, and there were no more accidents on the way home.
There were three large ports in the Annam Prefecture, the military port was the location where the Han army had landed, and the other two were civilian ports.
It was another daytime, and the "Xingyang" was close to the military port, and from a distance, I saw the black smoke rising from the land camp of the military port.
"The military port has also been attacked" Liang Min saw through the telescope that there were several buildings in ruins that were smoking: "It seems to be a warehouse" Chen Tan was also watching with a telescope: "Look at the location, it's in the warehouse where the oil is placed." ” The buildings were not connected because they were stored in the kerosene storehouse, and they were far enough away from the camp to appear to have exploded when they were burned, and the surrounding trees were clearly swept away, and large craters could be seen.
In addition, the burning of oil will be a black column of smoke, and the simple burning of wood will be a gray column of smoke, which is easy to identify.
"We were confident that we would not be attacked at sea."
Xiao Xin said with a sigh: "They are probably the same as us, and they don't believe that anyone dares to sneak attack at all." ” The treasury was supposed to be a place that should be closely guarded and guarded, but it was successfully attacked, so it can only mean that there was more than one omission.
The "Xingyang" used the flag language to communicate with the military port, and a pilot ship was sent to guide it into the berth.
It can be seen that there are quite a few ships anchored in the harbor, and each of them is on combat alert, but another gunboat "Yecheng" of the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate is not in the harbor.
Liang Min got off the boat and went directly to the shogunate of the Metropolitan Palace, and what he saw along the way was a busy scene, with soldiers conducting various investigations, and at least three times as many guards as usual.
"Zhihao is back" Yang Rui was the first to greet and said: "Last night, the military port was attacked, and three warehouses were burned down. ” "I've seen it from afar."
Liang Min recounted the encounter of the Xingyang at sea, and then asked, "How many enemy troops are coming?"
"More than fifteen hundred."
Yang Rui's face was gloomy to the extreme: "First there was a riot in the commercial port, and then there was a suicide arson of slaves. ” The other two civilian ports in the Annam Prefecture were commercial ports, with Han Chinese from the mainland and a larger number of merchants from various countries.
Due to the high cost of crossing Malacca, merchants from various countries chose to stay in the Protectorate of Annam, bringing prosperity to the two newly established civilian ports, and making them the most prosperous commercial areas in the entire Indochina Peninsula in a very short time.
In normal times, there were no less than 10,000 foreigners who stayed in the two places for a long time, and at most they even exceeded 50,000, and they sold their own goods here, and at the same time would eat a large number of goods from the Han Empire, and do some reselling trade.
Liang Min had to wonder if he didn't see smoke in the two commercial ports when he was at sea.
"The fire was extinguished in time."
Yang Rui and Liang Min walked side by side, saying as they walked: "Although there are many aliens in the port, not all of them have joined the riot.
We also have a lot of people, and the runners have escorts, and the garrison responds in a timely manner. ” Then it was the riots in the two commercial ports that drew the attention of the Annam Protectorate, and the slaves who served in the garrison during the chaos found an opportunity to attack the treasury where the oil was stored The two said as they walked that after entering the shogunate, someone reported on their behalf, and soon Liang Min was received by Si Hongzhuang.
"The main force of the attack camp was the Persians."
Si Hongzhuang looked very calm, and after raising his mouth, he asked, "You were attacked at sea" Liang Min carefully recounted what happened, and then said: "Most of the people who attacked us, except for the Han people who were bought, were Arabs.
After torture, the masterminds were the Great Qin and Persians. ” After docking at the port, the "Xingyang" had already escorted the prisoners off the ship, and there were 12 Han criminals and 7 aliens, who would be handed over to the garrison for re-interrogation.
"The Yecheng has been out of port for six days."
Si Hongzhuang thought that if there was one, there would be two, and he said worriedly: "If you find that your ship is in distress at sea, you must go to the rescue."
They" There were only two gunboats in the Annam Prefecture, and unless necessary maintenance was carried out, they were all patrolling back and forth through the route, with the aim of course deterring the nations of the world.
Si Hongzhuang did not hide his hatred: "After the interrogation, what did those Han people who were bought say?"
The Han people have just gone through the years of being ruled by foreign races, and they know what misery and life is worse than death.
Secondly, the official propaganda and emphasis have been repeatedly made that the main argument is to work together with the same people to create a better future.
The problem is that there is no perfection in the world, how can there be no scum in a race, there are always so many people who live and wait for the day to become scum.
The Han Empire has also been emphasizing the economy in recent years, and once the pursuit of wealth reaches a certain level, the price is not enough to sell, and once the price is enough, even the phenomenon of being able to sell one's own father and mother will inevitably rise, and the probability of increasing scum will definitely increase.
Liu Yan had already realized the undesirable of blindly pursuing economic benefits before, and had a plan for moral education, that is, sometimes a "door" was opened, and it was not ordinarily difficult to reclose.
"Originally, it was a group of outlaws, in order to catch slaves, they ran all over the mountains and forests, and they went to the Persians to have fun" Liang Min slowly introduced what he knew: "That guy named Qin Gui, he is a retired soldier in the army. has a knighthood and assets, and then he gambled and lost all his money to start catching slaves.
The habit of gambling has not changed, not only in Persia there is a huge gambling debt, but also in the country, the Persians bid 10,000 gold coins for himself, and his team bid 50,000 gold coins, which adds up to 60,000 gold coins. ” "Wealth is moving" Si Hongzhuang didn't say anything about gambling, and the Han Empire itself couldn't help but gamble.
He shook his head and said sullenly, "What I didn't expect was that the rest of the people would follow." ” Being a Han Chinese is a very happy thing now, and it would be even happier if you had a knighthood.
As the most ordinary Han people, there will be no obvious feeling in the country, but if you go abroad, you will find a point, even if they are ordinary people in the Han Empire, but when they go abroad, they will inevitably become people, that is the foreign officials and nobles dare not offend at all, ordinary foreigners need to be treated carefully and flattered, and give the "high national" treatment.
Those who enjoy the benefits of a strong country, have a little conscience or a little brain, it is too late to defend the country, and only when they are mad enough will they be bribed by foreigners to deal with their country "Each person will receive at least two thousand gold coins."
Liang Min laughed a few times, and said with an understandable but deeply hateful expression: "If they are lucky enough to catch slaves, they will earn at most fifty gold coins a year, and two thousand is the wealth that may not be earned in most of their lives. ” Si Hongzhuang was already writing official documents, to the effect that he was reporting the attack and losses to China.
After he finished writing one, he picked up the pen again to write another, and then asked Liang Min to write down the names and places of origin of those Han people on the official document.

"Enjoy welfare but eat inside and out, and even participate in attacks."
Si Hongzhuang shook his head and said, "It is inevitable to be regarded as a typical thing.
They didn't think about their loved ones before they did it. ” The Han Empire did not abolish this law, those Han people who participated in the attack, not only will they definitely die, but blood relatives are at least a labor end, and those who do not die will be uncomfortable when they live, at least they will live under the strange gaze of other people for the rest of their lives, and don't want to find any jobs in the future, even if their children want to be educated, it has become a luxury.
On the other hand, Qin Gui himself retired from the military and also has a knighthood, but there is no guarantor to implicate.
If there is a guarantor, the in-service will be discharged and fined, and if the same is discharged, the procedure of fines is indispensable.
"You work harder."
Si Hongzhuang was writing the third official document, and while writing with a pen, he said: "Form a fleet, including the Xingyang and one hundred and twenty other ships.
Depart the port today and head to Cuttac. ” Cuttack is the largest port in the jurisdiction of the Tianzhu Protectorate on the side of the Asan Continent.
The Annan Metropolitan Protectorate can be attacked here, and it is conceivable that the situation of the Tianzhu Metropolitan Protectorate far away in the Asan Continent will be even more serious.
After Liang Min responded to the "promise", he asked: "The Yecheng will arrive later."
Si Hongzhuang shook his head: "I don't know when the Yecheng will return to Hong Kong."
After you pass, you will be temporarily incorporated into the Tianzhu Protectorate system, unless I have a new order, otherwise you will obey the command of Qiandu Protector. ” Liang Min didn't know one thing, it was normal for Si Hongzhuang to have such a move, firstly, there were no gunboats in the Tianzhu Duhufu Navy, and secondly, the current situation over there was very special.
The Son of Heaven went out on patrol to Huiji Hangzhou Bay, and several marquis and dozens of high-ranking lords went to sea by boat, about a month ago, they passed through the Annan Metropolitan Protectorate and docked at the port for inspection, and they are now in the Asan Continent.
In the Han Empire, as long as it was a marquis, everyone was a high-ranking official.
At present, there are only a few marquis in the Han Empire, even if Liu Yan made a big broadcast after he became emperor, there are still no more than thirty marquis in the entire Han Empire, and if they have an accident, it can be said that the entire Han Empire will be shocked.
If Si Hongzhuang hadn't mentioned it, Liang Min really didn't know that there were three Hou Ye who went to the Tianzhu Metropolitan Protectorate.
"The hussar general is also there" Liang Min couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva: "In addition to the three marquis, there are twenty-six high lords, this is really" Si Hongzhuang knew why Liang Min had such an expression, and he had similar thoughts.
I was worried that Ran Min's gang would have an accident, and I felt more sorry for the group of people who chose to make trouble at this time.
As a hussar general, Ran Min went to the Asan Continent without official duties, and there was no relevant official documents and necessary tiger talismans, so he naturally took over the army of the Asan Continent from the regular procedures.
Dejurely it is the same thing, but if Ran Min doesn't care about it, he doesn't need to go through the legal procedure at all, he only needs to convince the capital of Tianzhu Protectorate Qian Jiantong, and he doesn't even need to take over, he can use the method of asking for persecution to make the army of the Asan Continent act according to his own ideas.
"It's really something that a hussar general can do."
Liang Min kept smiling bitterly, and had to not ask: "If it is the last general, what should I do?"
Si Hongzhuang glared: "You are acting according to the command of Qian Duhu, can you think about other things?"
Liang Min was somewhat relieved, compared to Ran Min, he is a small person, Ran Min, who has always had no fear, can do anything wrong, even Qian Jiantong, who is the protector of the capital, can choose according to the situation, but his small body can't afford to experience such a thing.
After the necessary supplies were made and the "Xingyang" was the first to leave the port, and the port continued to handle various types of ships in the back, gathering into a formation of 126 ships.
Naturally, the big move of the military port can't hide it, that is, what the fleet wants to do has nothing to do with most people, especially for the foreigners who are centrally guarded, even if they want to do something, they can't do anything.
"Protect it."
Yang Rui saluted after entering the house and reported: "The murderers who participated in the attack, except for the main culprit, have all been killed. ” Si Hongzhuang nodded and waited for the following.
"In the two ports, the total number of aliens counted is 42,000 and nine, and all of them have been detained."
Yang Rui originally had an expression on his face, but when he saw Si Hongzhuang's expressionless face, he slowly became expressionless: "They have been clamoring and protesting, asking us to give an explanation. ” Last night, a considerable number of aliens chose to help the Han Chinese, who participated in the suppression of the attackers, but were detained by the garrison.
The aliens who felt that they had no merit and no fault, they did not understand why they were being imprisoned, and thought that the Han people were taking revenge.
"Saying" Si Hongzhuang is still the same dead face: "Big Han, when do you need to give an explanation to the aliens":
