Chapter 2821: Nagasaki

"What's the matter? Who is firing the cannons! Didn't the navy have training? Why didn't you report it to my lord!" The governor of Zhejiang and the prefect of Hangzhou in the city were not only furious when they heard the sound of cannons, but these Qiu Ba dared to disturb my lord's cleanliness. You must read them and give them some color to see!

"My lord, it's too bad, the pirates are coming!" Someone came to report in a hurry, "A strange ship sailed on the Qiantang River. The ship was strong and the guns were powerful. It was so big that it was outside the city. It aimed at the tower and fired at the city gate. It has been beaten to pieces, and there are countless casualties!"

"Ah!" These words stunned these adults like a thunderbolt from the blue sky. The Jiangnan area has been at peace for a long time, and there has been no war for many years. When did they see this scene? In the current two battles, I don't know what we should do. The pirates are so fierce, the defenders at the top of the city may not be able to resist it?

That being the case, should I run away quickly? But the magistrate has the duty of guarding the land. Even if I escape with my life this time, His Majesty will kill me afterwards. What is the best way to do this?

Fortunately, Shen Long had no intention of taking Hangzhou City. The defenders at the top of the city were easy to deal with, but there were only three people on board. Even if they took it, how would they restore order? Forget it, and bring more people over next time! The previous training for those refugees was still effective. The first batch of refugees had basically learned to read and count, and after a period of training, they became qualified grassroots officials.

After scaring the governor of Zhejiang, the general of Hangzhou, and the prefect of Hangzhou into peeing their pants, Shen Long left Hangzhou swaggeringly and headed for Treasure Island, running rampant along the way, even those merchant ships, as long as they were pirate ships, As long as they collided, they would end badly. First, a few cannonballs broke their masts, and then they leaned up to let Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei jump over to practice their hands.

When the pirates saw the two girls coming, they were happy at first. They thought they were bringing benefits to themselves, so they surrounded them with a dirty mouth. Then they knew that these two girls were not fragile and charming girls, but She was an out-and-out dominatrix, her swords shone coldly, and the deck was swept away in a short while.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the rest of the people quickly surrendered, and Shen Long tortured them. Those who had sinned too much were thrown into the sea to feed the sharks, and those who were slightly less guilty were thrown into the cabin. After training on the island, they will be the first backbone of the new navy.

As for those gold, silver, treasures and goods, they naturally became Shen Long's spoils. After coming out of Hangzhou, he went all the way south to Treasure Island. He cleaned up many pirates and gained a lot. The captured sailors were enough to drive three battleships. As for If Shen Long didn't know how to expand the spell, the gold, silver, jewelry and other goods that were looted might not be able to fit on this ship.

The pirates along the way were unlucky. No matter whether they wanted to fight or escape when they saw Shen Long’s ship, Shen Long never let them go. Either he became a prisoner of Shen Long, and the money he earned through hard work and robbery made Shen Long cheaper.

Back at their home base on the island, Liu Qing, Liu Hong and Jin Suo, who were left behind, were relieved to see them coming back, and hurried forward to greet them, hearing that Little Swallow had avenged half of her revenge, Liu Qing and Liu Hong were all happy for her , but she was not frightened by her killing several officials, but Shen Long cultivated them as seeds, and the training during this period was still effective.

They and these refugees also guessed that Shen Long might rebel, and Liu Qing and Liu Hong had a hard life, but since the others were all mixed up as refugees, how could they have a good impression of the Man Qing? Coupled with Shen Long's miraculous manifestations from time to time, they all regarded Shen Long as a god.

Ever since, the heavens were dissatisfied with the tyranny of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and gradually spread the saying that they sent stars to save the people.

On the contrary, it made them lose their fear of the imperial court. Coupled with the fact that the days are getting better and better during this period of time, they are all devoted to Shen Long.

Shen Long asked people to board the ship to take these captives down, shaved their heads, washed them, and cleaned them according to the rules here to avoid the spread of the disease. After the assessment, they will go to farms, work in workshops, and receive training to become soldiers according to their specialties and Shen Long's needs. Be a sailor.

As for the gold and silver on the ship, they will be used as capital to strengthen himself. Shen Long intends to ship those silks and porcelains to Japan for sale, and exchange them for necessary materials such as copper and saltpeter.

After dealing with these matters, Shen Long returned to his office, listened to Liu Qing, Liu Hong, Jin Suo and several potential stocks selected from among the refugees, and reported the changes on the island during the time since he left. The land is developing according to their own plan, and a lot of land has been reclaimed, and several mineral deposits have been discovered according to the map left by Shen Long. Now they have started mining and coal mining, and set up a blast furnace to make iron.

In addition, the manpower sent to Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong coastal areas and other places has gradually gained a firm foothold, and various necessary materials and refugees have been continuously transported to the island. Seeing that the population here will double soon .

Shen Long nodded, encouraged them, pointed out the mistakes they made before, and told them what to do, and then ordered all the previously trained sailors to practice on the Intrepid, so as to get familiar with this new style as soon as possible. The method of using the warships allowed the shipyards on the island to build similar warships based on the Dreadnought.

Shen Long took out the blueprints, and with the assistance of the young technicians trained by the refugees, and most importantly, Shen Long's supervision, the old shipwrights will definitely be able to build these ships as soon as possible.

During this period of time, Shen Long kept shuttling through various departments on the island, inspecting their work, finding problems and solving them in time, while Ziwei and Xiaoyanzi cooperated with him while practicing martial arts.

After a few months, those sailors have gradually adapted to the life on the Intrepid, and they can try to go to sea for training, so Shen Long left the island again, boarded the Intrepid, let them fill up the ammunition and cargo, and headed towards the sea. Sailing to Japan, although this ship is a warship, it is not a problem to use it to transport goods.

After driving for several days, Japanese unique Zhuyin ships gradually appeared on the sea. They saw Shen Long's warships and immediately ran away, and Shen Long didn't bother to chase them. How much money can these ships have? The big head is still on the shore.

Moving forward, it didn't take long for a familiar city to appear in front of Shen Long, and Nagasaki Port arrived.
