- There are still a forest of masts in Magong Harbor in Penghu, and the pier is still bustling with people. The clerks in the shops along the street and the prostitutes in the brothels were trying their best to attract business, and it was as lively and chaotic as ever.
This kind of local information is the most well-informed. In fact, the information about a mysterious fleet sweeping across the coast of Fujian was immediately known.
But Jiangnan Trading Company Penghu Station released a large number of smoke bombs on the street, trumpeting that the fleet was a subordinate of Lin Daogan, and was ordered by the government to retaliate against the sea masters who attacked Chaozhou Prefecture a few months ago.
This made the various forces in Penghu give up the idea of ????going to the south to avoid the limelight. Everyone ran and danced without thinking of moving again.
Richang brothel is a relatively high-end brothel among the many brothels on the island. There is a lobby where you can drink and listen to music, which gives prostitutes more reasons to spend money besides sleeping with women.
At this time, a group of prostitutes who were tired from playing were in the lobby, hugging my sister, eating wine and talking nonsense.
"Brother, aren't you pretty good usually? Why can't you stick it out today?" A middle-aged man with a big scar on his face said with a smile to the young man.
"I really admire that you guys still have the heart to play with women. I'm worried to death. What if Lin Daoqian hits me?" The young man smiled bitterly and said: "It's fine today and in the future. If he hits me in the middle of the day, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything for the rest of my life." The law is hard to beat."
"Hahaha!" All the men and women burst into laughter.
"Just put your heart back in your stomach!" Scarface laughed and said: "Because it was Lin Daoqian who took the lead in the attack on Penghu Water Village five years ago. After that, he was the first to turn this place into a no-nonsense zone! So it was him! He knows better than anyone else that Penghu is a place for gathering information and doing business, not anyone¡¯s territory!¡±
"That's right, no matter how shameless he is, he won't slap himself in the face, right?"
"If he dares to attack Magong Port, he will offend all maritime merchants." The others also said with certainty: "Who will dare to do business with him in the future?"
"So take out the bird and have fun, brother!" Big Scarface patted the young man on the shoulder hard and said: "Go ahead, life is about drinking today and getting drunk today!"
"That's right, not only do you want to get drunk, but you also want to have sex" As everyone laughed, the young man hugged Sister Yao and went upstairs.
As soon as the two of them got into bed and entered the alley, they heard the rumble of cannons outside, followed by a flurry of excitement and how many people shouted in panic:
"No, Lin Daoqian called"
"Ah!" The young man was so frightened that he peed
His intestines turned green with regret. Why are the ears so soft? It's better now, and my lifeblood has softened

It won¡¯t take long for the powerful Western Fleet to capture this undefended dock and town.
Nine people in Penghu believed in Lin Daogan¡¯s evil deeds and did not go south to avoid the limelight. As a result, the West Route Fleet took the blame.
On the pier, where the prisoners were held, curses could be heard endlessly. Lin Daoqian's eighteen generations of ancestors were greeted ten thousand times.
Since it was not his ancestors who were being scolded, the navy officers and soldiers were naturally indifferent and only focused on collecting unprecedentedly rich trophies.
Penghu is a trading center where sea lords from all over the world, as well as red-haired people, Japanese, Ryukyu people, and maritime merchants and pirates from Southeast Asian countries, exchange their goods. They peddled various smuggled bulk goods here, as well as muskets, cannons, warships, slaves and other contraband. They opened brothels and gambling houses, and the wealth they gathered can be imagined.
After two full days of counting, the value of all the loot was roughly calculated¡ªa full four million taels of silver!
There are also more than 10,000 prisoners of various kinds. According to the plan, they will be sent to Naha Port first. After the war comes to an end, the prince will decide their fate.
The group with Scarface were the first group to set out on the road. They had their hands tied behind their backs, strung together with ropes like candied haws, and were driven onto the galley.
At this time, Big Scarface saw a red-bearded leader who looked like a leader passing by surrounded by his subordinates. He couldn't help but shouted angrily: "Aren't you afraid of inflicting public outrage when you do this?!"
Wang Rulong stopped when he heard the words, looked at the angry Scarface, laughed and said: "Public anger? Who do you bunch of bastards represent? You can't represent any of you, I can only represent you gang of villains!"
The scarred man wanted to refute, but was kicked down by Auxiliary Police Officer Li Chao, who cursed: "You are the only one who talks too much!"
??~~
On the other side, under the leadership of Lin Daoqian, the East Route Fleet sailed directly across the Taiwan Strait to the west.
This not only avoids the Penghu waterway, but also greatly shortens the voyage.
Two days later, the fleet arrived at Qing'ao Bay on Nan'ao Island.
Qing'ao Bay, also known as White Horse Turnover, is located to the east of Nan'ao Island. It is surrounded by mountains and its mouth faces east.?I want them all. "
"With so many ships, can the red-haired devil from Macau be able to use them?" Wang Rulong frowned more and more.
"The Portuguese in Macau have all been mobilized." Zhao Hao said: "Now they have about a thousand Portuguese soldiers. They also hired three thousand mercenaries from Annan, plus two thousand indigenous sailors, the strength has reached six thousand. .¡±
"The Bugalao Gun Foundry is also working day and night. The factory even hired some gunsmiths from Foshan with a lot of money to work at the Bugalao Gun Foundry. In the past, those red-haired ghosts were very interested in that foundry. The gun range is strictly guarded and no Ming people are allowed to enter the workshop."
This shows that in order to quickly expand their strength, the Portuguese have reached the point of disregarding everything. Everything is for the sake of the current level.
"It is said that the escaped sea masters from Guangdong and Fujian have all gathered at the Pearl River Estuary and stationed themselves on the islands near Macau. There are 70,000 to 80,000 people and thousands of ships!" Zhao Hao informed Wang Rulong of the latest intelligence report: "The Portuguese are in a hurry to build guns and cannons just to strengthen their armament. Of course, even one-tenth of the pirates can exchange their guns for cannons if they die."
Wang Rulong looked solemn and said, "That's pretty impressive."
At this moment, he did not dare to talk about the nonsense that the number of people and ships in maritime warfare was completely meaningless when there were generational differences in weapons and equipment, and there were generational differences in organization and command.
ps. The war is about to begin, so it will take some time to think about the layout of the article. I have just finished writing one chapter.
