Chapter 92 Forced Migration

Under the sunlight, the white luster of silver coins illuminates the appearance of all living beings.

Greed appeared in the merchant's eyes, and the poor people were drooling seeing so many silver coins.

The sound of clattering touched the hearts of these people.

"See these silver coins? This is our compensation to you."

"Because the war is coming, the navy of the Qing Dynasty will definitely attack here. To ensure the safety of our army, any uncertain factors must leave here. These silver coins are your forced relocation fee. First come, first served. "

After waiting for a while, these people did not see any action.

Chen Mu grabbed a handful of silver coins: "Do you really not want the real silver coins?"

The color of shining silver coins is so alluring that the common people are ready to move, but they dare not move forward.

Seeing that the minds of the people were shaken, Chen Mu added to the fire: "Except for those who were forced to relocate! Let me ask again, are there any fellow villagers who were lost due to the sea ban? Everyone come to sign up, as long as you confirm that you have lost a sea ship, we will compensate you. You pay."

"The first ten who report your loss can get an extra [-]% reward!!"

"Besides this, because the number of forced relocation fees is limited, we can give you an extra bag of food for the 30 households who sign up first. The only thing you have to do is to evacuate towards the island within three days. You must leave the coast for [-] kilometers."

After Chen Mu said this three times, his mouth felt parched!
But with so much profit, someone must take risks.

Chen Mu shouted dryly, a middle-aged man raised his hand.

"My lord... I... the boat I went to sea was requisitioned by the court a long time ago, and I haven't returned it until now. Can I...can I get compensation?"

Chen Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there was no need to procrastinate.

"Tell me when your ship was requisitioned? Didn't the court give you compensation?"

"It's been two years. I've never been given any compensation!" the middle-aged man said submissively.

Chen Mu nodded: "Okay, we will give you some compensation. But we are not compensating you on behalf of Qing Dynasty, you know?"

"I know!" The middle-aged man nodded cautiously.

He originally lived by the sea, but Qianlong banned going to the sea many times when he was in charge.

He doesn't have any good skills, and his life has been difficult for the past two years!
Seeing that there was an advantage, he gritted his teeth and took the lead.

It's just that the middle-aged people didn't expect that these troops composed of foreigners and monks were very trustworthy.

After a while, the record of the middle-aged man was confirmed.

Two years ago, he did have a boat that was requisitioned and refused to return it.

The middle-aged man was given 30 taels of silver as compensation.

In addition, he was the No.1 self-reported loss, so the accountant specially gave him an extra ten taels of silver.

In addition to this, give him another bag of grain.

"My fellow, you've got your compensation, don't go to sea during these times, and don't live here anymore. Otherwise, you will be shot dead by us!"

"Yes, definitely not going into the sea, not going into the sea." The middle-aged man nodded cheerfully: "By the way, my lord, can we not move?"

Chen Mu said with a half-smile: "No, any people who don't migrate within seven days will be forced to be captured and labored by us. If you want to be cannon fodder and die, you can stay here."

The middle-aged man shuddered, kowtowed and left.

He wants to go home as soon as possible to arrange the relocation of his relatives.

These people seem to be trustworthy, but those Qing officers and soldiers are not easy to mess with.

Chen Mu picked up the loudspeaker and continued to shout: "Everyone has seen it too, we are innocent and we will do what we say."

"We are the soldiers of the Dragon Kingdom. We are the descendants of the Han people of the Ming Dynasty. Because they attacked the Qing court, they will definitely send troops to attack Wanwan. You know what the soldiers of the Qing court look like! For your safety, I hope that your court will Evacuate the island, and stay away from Chilong Harbor within the last three months."

Seeing that many people hesitated, Chen Mu directly asked the mercenaries to shoot.

boom! boom! boom!
"Hurry up, the first [-] households who sign up for relocation will get a bag of grain. If you don't relocate in the end, you will all be caught as cannon fodder. Regardless of your age, you will all be executed!"

With such a threat, the people below quickly let go of their scruples and bite the bullet and signed up.

"Hurry up and evacuate to the island. You must protect yourself in the mountains, and be careful of the cleaning of the Qing army..."

Seeing the chaos, Chen Mu held up the loudspeaker and said loudly: "Everyone line up, don't be crowded, everything is indispensable. Also, now everyone can report people who are close to the Qing Dynasty, businessmen, anyone who reports , can win prizes..."

On Chen Mu's side, he traded fairly with the common people, compensated for losses, and screened out loyal lackeys of the Qing Dynasty.

At the same time, Hualien and other ports were also attacked by a large number of troops led by the Dragon Kingdom team.

They will use a method similar to Chen Mu's to first obtain the ownership of various ports and important military sites in Wanwan.Then make up for their losses and control all fishing boats that can go to sea.

Thank you for the souvenirs from Western Europeans.

With so much silver, it is very easy to solve the problem of people moving supplies.

……

Time passed quietly.

Two days later, two Fuchuan (catch boats) came from Fujian, Zhejiang and Fuzhou ports.

In addition to carrying a large number of supplies for the Penghu Navy, this ship also served as a patrol duty.

I have to complain about the Qing Dynasty's coastal defense construction.

During the Kangxi period, due to the need to deal with Zheng Keshuang, Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian and Zhejiang areas had a total of [-] naval forces. Unfortunately, after the abolition of Yongzheng, the Guangdong and Guangxi areas' naval forces dropped by half.

In the early days of Qianlong, the total number of naval divisions in the Qing Dynasty had only recovered to [-].

It wasn't until the Lin Shuangwen uprising that Qianlong mobilized a large number of green battalions into the navy, and maintained the green battalion navy at [-] in the later period.

Let’s talk about the warships of the Qianlong period.

These warships completely follow the Ming system.

For example, things that Fuchuan should have eliminated in the ocean are still glowing now.

The Qing Dynasty in the Qianlong period was not attacked by foreign devils, it can only be said to be lucky!
As soon as the two supply ships arrived at the Penghu Naval Station, they saw many traces of scorched earth through the telescope.

Looking at the Penghu Navy as usual, Chief Qian Li Maocai always felt an indescribable weirdness.

"My lord, the people from the standard battalion let us enter Hong Kong!"

Li Maocai shook his head quickly!
Don't look at him as just a boss, but his status is not low.

He is in charge of logistics.

Those who managed logistics in the feudal era may not have combat effectiveness, but their identity and background are definitely not bad.

The younger sister of Uncle Li Maocai's cousin is the concubine of Governor Li Shiyao.

His relationship, the door is hard!
The new General Lin Luo may not know his ability, but Li Dazhong and others must know his own energy.

There is definitely something wrong with these people who do not routinely greet themselves.

"Stop advancing first!" Li Maocai raised his binoculars and carefully watched the Penghu naval camp.

"grown ups?"

"If you dare to talk about it again, I will be the first to chop off your head." Li Maocai scolded the adjutant, and then continued to watch the camp ahead.

This careful observation really found the problem.

This Penghu camp seems to have been renovated.

Not only that, he didn't see any familiar faces who greeted him!

"Damn it, there is something wrong with this barracks, have they rebelled?"

Seeing that the commander of Fuchuan is so cautious.The high school team knew that this duck could not be left behind.

"Let the fleet stop hiding and surround them directly!"

"Roger that!"

As the battleship emerged from other places, Li Maocai panicked.

Seeing so many warships, Li Maocai let out a strange cry, and said in panic: "Go quickly, it is the foreign devils who conquered Penghu. Row quickly and run, by the way, the warships run separately, don't run together! Run back and report to the admiral that the Penghu navy has been conquered." news!"

Li Maocai was like an ant on a hot pot, and the soldiers of the Qing army also tried their best to row the boat.

However, the maximum speed of Fuchuan is only [-] knots, which is completely different from the speed of Western warships.

After Chen Mu's special modification, the speed of the western-style warship can easily reach [-] knots during combat.

Soon, they caught up with Fuchuan.

rumbling~
First, dozens of shells were bombarded in a demonstrative manner.

Then the loudspeaker yelled:
"Land down the sail, surrender without killing!"

The two Fuchuan soldiers looked at him one after another.

Li Maocai showed despair.

"My lord? What should I do?"

"Lower the sails, we can't escape, the speed of the foreign devil's boat is too fast!"
