Daming pirates

However, it does not mean that the journey of establishing slaves has always been smooth sailing. Some of the soldiers and horses of establishing slaves who were assigned to raids encountered obstacles in some places.

Some of the slaves encountered fierce resistance in front of some seemingly inconspicuous castles. Some castles that they originally thought could be conquered with just one charge, but when they roared past, they suddenly

Rows of bullets were fired from time to time, and there was even the sound of cannon.

These slave-building soldiers were unprepared. When the people who were beaten fell on their backs and suffered heavy casualties, they quickly summoned more slave-building soldiers to besiege these castles. However, after the fighting started, they found that these castles were different from other castles.

There is a big difference.

There are many village warriors stationed in these castles, and they are quite good at fighting. What's even more powerful is that they are equipped with many sharp firearms that the slaves have never encountered before.

There are some blunderbuss in these castles, which can even kill people from a distance of two hundred steps. Many of the soldiers who established the slaves were staying at a distance that they thought was safe, and suddenly they were inexplicably killed by Zhuangzi.

The bullets fired from inside were knocked to the ground, and a big hole was often punched out in the chest or head. Even the armor on the body could not stop the bullets.

Under the fierce attack, they encountered even more fierce resistance. Rows of bullets were fired from the village walls. No matter how thick the armor the slave soldiers wore, there was often no chance of survival once they were hit by bullets.

Even in these forts, when the slaves attack to the foot of the village wall, they will throw some black iron melons towards the bottom of the village wall. These iron melons will suddenly explode, destroying people within a few meters.

If you build a slave, your flesh and blood will be blown away by these iron melons, causing heavy casualties.

So the slaves began to be afraid. They didn't know where these forts got such sharp firearms. Although they were extremely angry, it was difficult to break into these forts except paying a heavy price.

The Jiannu people who entered the customs this time were not here to gnaw hard bones. Their purpose was obvious, they were here to plunder, so their favorite thing was to pick on the weak. Once they encountered such a strong and fierce Zhuangbao, they would hit a wall.

They would rather give up than waste time or waste their precious troops here.

Therefore, although Jiannu raided many places along the way, he would encounter one or two such castles from time to time. After a bad encounter, Jiannu would often retreat in the face of difficulties. This was not a battle against a city, but a castle.

It's just a castle. Even if you fight to the death and finally defeat such a castle, you may not be able to gain much profit. On the contrary, you will lose a lot of troops. It is really not cost-effective.

Moreover, they will have many opportunities like this in the future, and they will not have to break their big teeth in front of these stubborn castles. Therefore, these castles they encountered along the way became the iron slabs kicked by the slaves during this great raid southward.

, and these castles also became some safe places in the places where the slaves passed. Without exception, these castles accommodated a large number of people who were chased by the slaves during the period when the slaves passed by, and saved many people.

of human life.

Jiannu didn't know the identities of the people in these forts, but the locals regarded the big families in these forts as their saviors. After the slave soldiers retreated, the people who were rescued all turned against the people in charge of these forts.

People respected him as a god and regarded him as a benefactor, which made these people become the most respected people in the local area through this incident.

But a few people know that these so-called big households in Zhuangbao are actually not big households at all. On the surface, they are mostly upstarts from outside. With their wealth, they have purchased land and real estate in the local area and are doing some business.

But in fact, they were Sea Wolf's intelligence agents. They were assigned to these places by Sea Wolf early on, until they penetrated deep into various places in Shandong, and lurked down as merchants or landlords.

Once these intelligence officers establish a foothold in the local area, they will immediately be supplemented by a group of personnel and weapons. In the castles where they are located, they will use their personnel to form a regiment to be responsible for guarding these castles.

A few months ago, they received more supplies of weapons, ammunition and food, which made them stronger armed and allowed them to stand firm among the slaves when they went south.

A rock that remains motionless.

However, there was still a village fort, which was finally broken by the red-eyed Jiannu at all costs. When Jiannu broke through this village, he paid an extremely heavy price, and was beaten to death by the brave men in the village.

Hundreds of people were injured. After the village fort was breached, the Xiang Yong in the village still fought to the death with Jiannu, and were all killed in the end.

Just when Jiannu invaded the courtyard of a wealthy family named Li in Zhuangzi, this wealthy family surnamed Li finally ignited the gunpowder hidden in the courtyard. After a loud noise, he died with Zhuangzi and the attackers.

Of the more than 200 slave soldiers who entered Zhuangzi, those who were nearby were directly blown to pieces, and even those who were a little further away were shocked to death.

Later, when Jian Nu cleaned up Zhuangzi, he discovered that a large amount of grain was stored in the Zhuangzi. However, when Zhuangzi was destroyed, Xiang Yong who was guarding the granary poured kerosene into the granary and ignited it, causing Jiannu to ignite it.

I didn't get any bargain at all.

When the final explosion occurred, the entire Zhuangzi compound was almost razed to the ground, and a large crater was blasted out of the ground. It can be seen that there was a lot of gunpowder hidden here, and many strange-shaped bullets were also found around the explosion.

Jian Nu picked up some damaged bird guns in the village. Most of these bird guns had been destroyed by the villagers when they were destroyed, or the barrels of the guns were bent. However, Jian Nu still collected these bird guns as if he had found a treasure.

After picking it up, we found a lot of dismantled and discarded parts, and finally let the craftsmen assemble two muskets.

Jiannu then discovered that these bird guns were very well made and made of very good materials. What surprised them most was that these bird guns could be fired without using a match rope. The bird guns were equipped with a firing mechanism, and the trigger

After opening the stuck faucet, there is a piece of flint on it. When firing, the flint falls and hits the fire door, sparks will be shot out, and the sparks will fall into the medicine pool, ignite the medicine pool and ignite the medicine, and finally complete the firing.

What puzzled them the most was that among the barrels of many bird guns, the insides of the barrels were not smooth, but had grooves carved out of them somehow, so that they could still be fired. It was really strange.

.

Jian Nu was so amazed by such an exquisite mechanism that he collected it like a treasure and planned to take it back outside the customs this time so that the craftsmen could take a good look at it and see if they could imitate it.

This is also the first time that Jiannu has obtained such firearms in recent years. Unfortunately, even if they take these repaired blunderbuss out of the customs, they cannot imitate them in large quantities because no one among them knows that these blunderbuss are

How are the riflings in the tube carved, so at best we can only simply imitate the fusiliary mechanism, but the reeds in the fusial mechanism require very superb craftsmanship and quite good steel to create.

It is completely impossible to effectively imitate it without repeated trials.

This is also the reason why after so many years, the Sea Wolf has been fighting everywhere, and the number of guns left behind is really not less than three digits, but there is still no one who has successfully imitated the Sea Wolf's Wolf Fang rifle, even the Dutch, Spanish and

The Portuguese tried every means, and even offered huge rewards, to obtain a Wolf Fang rifle, but in the end their craftsmen could only imitate the flintlock structure, but could not imitate the rifling of the barrel.

This time, the Jiannu army gained a huge harvest, and their self-confidence soared to the commanding heights. They started to march towards their scheduled rendezvous point, Hejian Mansion. Although there were many Ming officers and soldiers along the way, these officers and soldiers were now

They had already been frightened to the point of weakness by the fierceness of the Jiannu army. No matter they were civil servants or military generals, they were all frightened. When they heard that the Jiannu army was approaching, they were so scared that they peeed and hid in the city early.

He stuck his butt out in a defensive posture.

The Jiannu have now had enough plunder. If they encounter opportunities along the way, of course they will still take advantage of them, but they no longer carry out fierce attacks on fortified cities.

So when they traveled to some prefectures and counties, they saw that the officers and soldiers had closed the city and did not dare to go out to fight with them, and no one took the initiative to stop them, so they swaggered past these cities.

The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty watched with trepidation the Jiannu army and the group of refugees they carried away, not to mention letting them go out of the city to intercept them. Seeing that the Jiannu did not attack their city, every one of them felt that they had burned incense.

Therefore, on the way to retreat, Jiannu basically did not encounter any effective interception by the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers. After marching straight in, he drove thousands of miles again towards Hejian Mansion.

According to their plan, they will not return via the old route this time, but can continue to loot along the way. They will go directly to the northeast of Shandong, from Hejian Prefecture and then through Tianjin Wei, and choose a place along the Great Wall to exit.

But they didn't know that at this time, a large number of ships appeared in the Bohai Bay, heading towards Tianjin Wei.

Beginning in early September of the 11th year of Chongzhen, some fishermen along the coasts of Shandong, South Zhili, and Zhejiang began to discover batches of large boats on the sea, forming formations and heading north along the coastline, sometimes even

The defenders on some piers and platforms, as well as the sporadic officers, soldiers and naval forces in these places, all discovered this abnormality.

These ships going north are basically fully loaded and have very deep drafts. It can be seen that the ships are filled with various supplies, and there are also small speedboats accompanying these fleets.

The flags hung by these ships are all Sea Wolf Flag. Nowadays, as long as people begging for food on the coast of China, everyone knows about the Sea Wolf Flag. It can be said that pirates hate this Sea Wolf Flag.

At the same time, I was deeply frightened. How many pirates didn't know how powerful the sea wolf was before. They rushed over with their boats excitedly and tried to make a big profit. However, they ended up with their heads broken and bloodied. Many pirates were put on the spot.

Then he was killed.

Some large pirates initially wanted to fight against this group of Sea Wolves, but without exception, they were beaten to a pulp by Sea Wolf's warships and the sailors of the Yu Family Army on board.

Nowadays, almost all of China's coastal waters are controlled by sea wolves. Although it cannot be said that the control is very strict and the giant pirates on the sea have been completely wiped out, as for the remaining small groups of scattered pirates, they are all

Clearly, this ship flying the Sea Wolf flag means that no one can touch it.

Therefore, when Sea Wolf's ships are operating along the coast of China, let alone a fleet, even if there are only one or two ships, ordinary pirates will immediately roll up their flags and run away after seeing them.
