When Wang Erbai was boasting, the two ships came close to each other.
The load capacity specifications of the two ships are more than doubled, and including the height of the ship's side, it is more than three feet higher than the deck here.
Wang Ziqingneng had been active on the ocean in Quanzhou for many years. He had many deserters from the Song Navy under his command, and he was familiar with the Song Dynasty's method of fighting at sea. They saw their leader being crushed by two ships, and his flesh and blood turned into a crumbly lump into the sea. Although every one of them was
I was frightened. But because I was condescending, I still felt that I could struggle a little, so I kept moving my hands.
There was only a "bang bang" noise, which was fired by a musket that filled a thick bamboo pole with gunpowder, ignited and released it. Thick smoke rose from the deck of the ship, which was caused by the thunderbolt bombs that relied on the explosion of gunpowder to release poisonous smoke and throw lime.
.
The sailors under Wang Erbai either jumped or pulled the sail rope to use their strength and rushed towards the opposite ship. On the spot, three or four people were pushed back and injured and fell off the deck.
One man was hit in the chest and abdomen by a musket, and the front of his body was sprayed with iron sand like a pockmarked human face. The huge impact caused him to vomit blood.
The position where he landed was close to the hatch at the rear of the ship. The hatch was suddenly pushed open, and Dr. Chen rushed out despite the thick smoke, shouting repeatedly: "Don't move! Don't move! I can save you!"
Shouting, he carefully dragged the wounded man into the lower cabin.
Wang Erbai took two deep breaths and listened carefully to the sounds of fighting coming from the side of the ship above. Although there was the roar of waves hitting the ship's board and the strange creaking sound of the hulls squeezing each other, he still heard clearly that the fighting was concentrated on the side of the ship.
The front has not yet affected the rear.
He stood up and tried to jump to the opposite boat, but his thigh was seriously injured and he was missing a muscle, so he couldn't exert normal strength anyway.
This is not a problem for Wang Erbai. In the two months after he first joined the Ding Navy, he did Zhao Bin's Alixi. Zhao Bin used an iron hook to replace his left hand, and Wang Erbai also made an iron hook to carry with him, following his example.
The authority of his superior. At this moment, he took out the iron hook from his waist and threw it to the opposite side. He grabbed the hemp rope tied to the iron hook with both hands and climbed over.
As soon as he stepped onto the opposite deck, several more people climbed up behind him. It turned out to be the merchants who had been traveling with the ship these days.
Several people had simple knives, short swords, iron rods, and fire hooks in their hands, and they were dancing wildly.
The merchant who had asked about the ship's doctor's salary had an impassioned face and said loudly to Wang Erbai: "Captain Wang, you have to die if you want. If you want to win, let's win too!"
After saying this, several people looked at Wang Erbai with hope, waiting for Wang Erbai to lead them to charge.
How can traders who dare to travel thousands of miles alone have a fuel-efficient lamp? Eighty-nine out of ten people have practiced martial arts and have some skills to fight to save their lives. These people were originally hiding under the deck, worrying about the future.
Suddenly I realized that Wang Erbai was so fierce, and I was immediately tempted.
Businessmen all know the principle of finding wealth in danger. At this time, you can help Wang 200, even if you follow him and cheer for him, you will say it after you return to Qingyuan Mansion. There is no guarantee that you will be thanked by Zhou Keshan, the high official.
, with the skills and background of that high-ranking official, a little leakage between his fingers would be enough for ordinary people to feed him for several lifetimes!
Just as he was thinking this, Wang Erbai moved his body to the side.
He said confidently: "Great, it's time for you freeloaders to go first. At times like this, you must die first."
This is true, and it is really unpleasant to hear.
Not only does it sound ugly...this is not human language!
I had long heard that Wang Chuan had a mental illness and would drive others crazy when he opened his mouth from time to time. It turned out to be true!
The merchants were all furious.
However, among the remaining members of Wang Ziqing, someone turned around and noticed this group of people, screaming wildly and swiping their swords to kill them. The merchants had no choice but to use their martial arts to fight with them.
Half a month later.
Qingyuan Mansion, Lanshan Island.
This place was the headquarters of the Shanghai Bank in the Southern Song Dynasty. Zhou Keshan spent half of the past year here. His main task was not only to undertake the business cooperation negotiated by Li Yun, but also to participate in the construction of the bank's headquarters.
In the early days, things were not in order. Every time Zhou Keshan arrived, he stayed in the restaurant in Li'aofang. But this was not a long-term solution. There were many dragons and snakes around the restaurant, with many eyes and mouths, and it was not suitable for Zhou and Dazhou.
Key figures in the Song Dynasty discussed world affairs and expressed their concern for the country and the people.
So six months ago, Zhang Liangpeng from East Zhejiang came up with a solution.
One day, he went to the famous Buddhist temple Bao'an Yuan on Lanshan Island to pay obeisance and offer incense. He told the abbot of the temple that there was a big benefactor who was extremely devout in Buddhism and wanted to quadruple Bao'an Yuan's land.
Ninety-eight acres, 170 acres of mountains, expanded to 400 acres of farmland, all fertile farmland, plus ten acres of beautiful mountainous land.
There is only one small condition, that is, I ask you to move.
The Baoanyuan was built more than 200 years ago and is very famous in the local area. Moreover, after the sailors from the long voyage landed, they rarely had to eat, drink, gamble, worship Buddha and fulfill their wishes, so it was very popular.
The host was reluctant to move at first, but Zhang Liangpeng said that the big benefactor was really pious, and soon he raised the price to 800 acres of fertile land on Dinghai Island, that is, Daishan Island. This alone can be converted into a line in Huizi, which is
More than 25,000 strings.
The host fainted on the spot, had he ever experienced the benefits of such a big bet in his life?
After all, it was to promote Buddhism, so I had no choice but to agree, and moved with my disciples and grandchildren the next month.
The temple properties and buildings left behind by Bao'an Yuan were immediately rebuilt on a large scale under the supervision of Zhang Liangpeng and Zhou Keshan. Within two to three months, it was initially completed in scale, and it was indeed worthy of being the maritime financial turnover center in the Song Dynasty.
This was a major event for the Shanghai trip. When I heard that the reconstruction was completed, a large number of merchants and dental firms sent representatives to celebrate with precious gifts. Unexpectedly, in the next two months, the atmosphere on Lanshan Island turned out to be a bit tense. Zhang Liangpeng and Zhou Keshan
None of the high officials saw visitors.
On this afternoon, on the east side of the second hall of the Security Court, there was a side hall specially used for discussing confidential matters.
There was a huge map of the sea area on the wall. Zhou Keshan walked back and forth twice in front of the sea area map. He quickly stood still. In front of him was the harbor on Liuqiu Island where turbid water streams rushed into the sea.
He picked up his pen and drew a circle outside the harbor.
After drawing the circle, he turned around and threw the brush at Zhang Liangpeng's feet.
"This is the sixteenth shipwreck in two months!"
Zhou Keshan sneered again and again: "Don't tell me about the storm on the sea. What is the storm on the sea like? You and I are not amateurs. There is no need to say those stupid things to scare people. Besides, the people we send out in Shanghai are always experienced people."
, Experts need big ships, good ships! How safe the goods should be, and what kind of protection should be provided for the personnel; both you and I have publicly patted our chests!"
Later, he gasped for air and almost cursed.
After finally suppressing his emotions, he returned to his seat, drank two cups of tea, and calmed his breathing:
"Sixteen shipwrecks occurred, and twenty-one ships were sunk. Between our two families, more than five hundred bows, prows, and sailors were lost at sea, and no bones were left. Materials worth millions of dollars were gone! This news
Can they be released? Can my Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Right Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty accept such a thing? Once these two are angry...I dare not say anything else, someone in this room will definitely lose his head.
, I want to kill my whole family!"
There were only two people sitting in this room, Zhou Keshan and Zhang Liangpeng.
Zhang Liangpeng smiled bitterly: "This is a shipwreck. I heard that the ship did not sink."
"That's right! The ship didn't sink this time, only a few people died. The remaining people in the fleet sailed the ship back to Qingyuan Mansion, and brought back the specific process of the shipwreck. What happened in the meantime, Zhang Tiju, you want to hear
