Late Ming Dynasty: Conquering the world starting from riding and cutting

[Recite the URL silently three times. Do you remember it? If you don’t remember, I’ll ask again in the next chapter. It’s best to share it on Facebook for me]

Departing from Keelung Harbor, the fleet has been sailing at sea for three or four days.

The sea wind blowing on the ship was so strong that if a weak person stood on the bow of the ship, he would be blown into the sea. Even Qin Hao had to wear a red leather coat before he dared to walk to the bow of the ship.

The sailors were manipulating the sails and pulling the ropes at the stern of the ship. They were busy and busy, and they turned their heads to the bow of the ship from time to time to take a look at their new owner.

When making a living at sea, it goes without saying that the importance of the boss is important, even if they are Spaniards.

"What do you think of us, the new boss?" A sailor kept fishing the fishing net on the side string and asked several companions on the side.

"I don't know if it's good or not, but there's still plenty of food to eat."

"Yes, the food has gotten much better these days. There is meat every day."

"I also gave a lot of money." Many Spanish crew members murmured quietly, and the sounds of gold coins in their pockets were heard one after another.

At first, Amorim told them that he was going to join the Ming people, but many people were unwilling. It wasn't until the Ming people generously took out a box of gold coins and distributed them, that they really recognized the mountain.

"Boys, grab the net quickly, or you won't be able to eat tonight's meal." Seeing someone chattering under his men, the old sailor stood aside and urged dissatisfiedly.

Our adults gave us quite a lot. The sailors who had just joined the industry were all given three gold coins, let alone old sailors like them. As for the captain and first mate, it was simply unimaginable.

In this way, if you don't work hard enough, it's better to die in the sea and feed the fish as soon as possible.

As the old saying goes, as long as a problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem. Of course, you must have that much money.

Qin Hao spent a large sum of gold coins to buy the loyalty of this group of Spanish crew members, which seems to be pretty good so far.

"Brothers, work harder, we're about to catch fish." In the cry of the old sailor, the fat and lively fresh fish were dragged onto the plywood by the sailors.

Seeing how happy the sailors were, Qin Hao couldn't hold back his mood and wanted to have some fun. Although he grew up in a water town, this was his first time seeing fishing on the sea, so he was inevitably a little curious and restless.

Just as he was about to leave, Zhuge Xuan appeared in front of Qin Hao and told him something even more exciting than fishing.

The Chief Secretary of Shandong, Dengzhou Mansion is right in front of you, and you can see the coastline in the distance.

In this case, he couldn't go play anymore. Qin Hao looked at the sun. Around nine o'clock in the morning, he went back to the cabin to tidy up. He brought a lot of changes of clothes with him this time.

Putting on a blue cloth robe, square-toed shoes, and a white silk scarf on her head, with two long strands of hair hanging naturally, look at the person in Xiaofang's mirror. He is tall and tall, with red lips, white teeth, sharp eyebrows, and plump eyes. He was so handsome that Qin Hao himself couldn't help but praise his handsomeness.

About a quarter of an hour later, with a call from the port, Qin Hao and Zhuge Xuan disembarked from the ship.

Zhao Chang and his guards carried the horses off the ship from the deck, each carrying luggage in their hands.

After everything was completed, Amorim's ship began to leave slowly. It was previously agreed that they would not go with Qin Hao, but would turn around and cross the Yangtze River and enter Yingtian Mansion to meet them again.

For the rest of the journey, we could only rely on the dozen or so horses in front of us.

I patted the horses that had just gotten off the boat. They seemed to be still awake. It was not easy to take these horses with me in the first place.

Basically all land creatures are afraid of the sea, especially animals like horses. The bumps in the sea can easily make them fall into a state of anxiety and madness, and once this happens, it will be difficult to recover even if they return to land.

In this regard, Qin Hao thought of a way. He fed them wine bottles in advance and let them fall asleep all the way. This method was surprisingly easy to use. The horses were very stable along the way. There were no accidents, except that they lost a little weight.

After all, it is normal to eat less when you are drunk.

After waiting for a moment, several horses stood up with trembling legs and stared at them. Qin Hao got on the horse and tried, patted the horse's neck and fed some soybeans. The horses' physical strength recovered well and they were almost ready to go on the road.

"How many days do we have until we reach Penglai?" After walking for half a day, Qin Hao asked Zhuge Xuan beside him.

Zhuge Xuan held the map in his hand, looked at it for a moment and then said in a deep voice: "We'll be there in half a day's walk at most."

Dengzhou Prefecture in Shandong Province includes Penglai, Huangxian, Fushan and Qixia counties.

Since they landed in Dengzhou, they are not too far from Penglai.

Along the way, Qin Hao didn't walk on the official road, but basically took the small roads, and met only village men and women, so it didn't matter.

Before noon, we arrived in the Penglai area. There were more and more traders on the road. When they saw Qin Hao and the others, most of them stopped and pointed.

When Qin Hao saw the open gate of Penglai City, a bold idea came to him: wouldn't it be great to rush in and make a quick victory?

A total of 12 people went out this time, including Qin Hao, Zhuge Xuan and 10 Zhao Changnuo De guards. At first, they were asked to wear light and plain clothes and avoid them if they could.

But when I finally arrived, I found that it was not that easy. There were still people stopping and watching in the small town. When I arrived at the main thoroughfare of Dayi, I was afraid that there was no way to avoid it.

"Fortunately, I rushed him and went south as soon as I received Chen Hu. How about that?" Qin Hao told everyone his thoughts.

Zhao Chang and other guards grabbed the horse's rope and waited for the order to gallop forward.

Zhuge Xuan thought for a moment and had a plan in his mind.

Although this grown-up in his family has always been unreliable in his actions, this time he was very unreliable. He had just discovered a problem that was difficult to hide. Staying here for too long would be a waste of time and the possibility of being exposed would be greater. .

Penglai is a small town, and it wouldn't take them a while to find someone if they rushed in.

Seeing Zhuge Xuan nodding in agreement, Qin Hao let go and led everyone towards the city gate. They wanted to break through the gate in a surprise attack while the guards were not paying attention.

In addition to the border troops on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty could still fight. The military in the interior has long been lax, including Penglai City.

The surprise attack went so smoothly that before the dozens of soldiers at the city gate could react, Qin Hao rushed forward and successfully handed over the rusty, damaged swords and guns in his hands.

One by one, they knelt down and held their heads, begging for mercy. There was an 80-year-old mother above and a 3-year-old baby below, all of whom just begged for their lives.

"Look carefully, no one is allowed to go out and no one is allowed to enter from now on."

Ignoring them and leaving three people to guard the prisoners, Qin Hao took the rest and rushed into Penglai County.

In an instant, the whole Penglai became "lively", and people on several streets shouted the two words "Chen Hu", which sounded like a personal name.

Households couldn't stand this kind of "liveliness" and closed their windows and wooden doors.

The timid one kneels and worships at home holding the statue of Bodhisattva, praying that his family will not suffer a disaster. The little wealth at home is not enough to feed Mr. Liu’s fat pig for a day. If you want to rob it, rob it from his family. His family has a lot of money. , women are also smart.

Those who were bolder would peek through the cracks in the door at the people and horses speeding down the street to see which house they were heading towards. They looked to the left and back and saw no movement from them.

"We're here to look for someone, not the group of bandits from Shanglin."

"As long as you are not a bandit! Just as long as you are not a bandit!"

The people hiding in the house were relieved to the point of their throats, especially those from wealthy families. They were thankful that the group of people who came were not robbers, otherwise the lives of the whole family would have been saved.

"Have you found Chen Hu?" Qin Hao asked Zhuge Xuan, who came on horseback. He had just taken people to the east. He probably had been shouting for a long time but there was no sign of him. It was only his side.

"I didn't find it either." Zhuge Xuan said with a sigh.

"How could this happen?" Qin Hao was confused and couldn't figure it out for a moment.

There are only a thousand houses in Penglai County, a small town. After running for so long, he has already shouted at every house in Penglai County. Chen Hu can't have heard any news.

Suddenly Qin Hao thought of another possibility. Chen Hu might not be in Penglai County, but in a nearby town.

At this moment, Zhao Chang, who was guarding the door, rushed over and shouted: "Sir, Chen Hu is here."

"good!"

The sudden news made Qin Hao happy for a while, and then he ordered: "In that case, Zhuge Xuan, please go and inform the others to gather at the gate of the city. They are all calling for hurry up. Don't delay."

The twelve of them were able to rush into Penglai City because of the time difference and information imbalance. After such a long time, Penglai's defense must also know their true and false intentions.

If he didn't leave, he might have to fight. Although he wasn't afraid, it was completely unnecessary.

It's no fun to bully a country boy. If you want to fight, just fight a rich kid like Jinling City, so as not to lose your reputation.
