The Ming Dynasty has just been exiled and the Luzon system has awakened.

Chapter 89 Far More Than 500 Million, Shi Lang’s Mask of Pain

"Your Majesty, Brigadier You said that at least 500 million taels of silver were seized in Xiamen City, and the specific amount is still being calculated." Wang Chen replied again.

Now, Zhu Heyi couldn't sit still.

500 million taels of silver!He just took the time to take a look at his system's treasury, and now it only has more than 600 million taels of silver.

It took me a long time to save more than 600 million taels of silver by "getting up early and working hard at night", but the city of Xiamen, which was a big deal, actually seized 500 million taels!

This makes no sense!

Sure enough, if you want to get rich quickly, you still have to rely on robbing!

It's a pity that He Shen, the most beautiful man in the Man Qing Dynasty, is not online yet. Zhu Heyi remembers that there are documents recording that when the Man Qing minister's house was ransacked, the money confiscated was more than 2 million taels of silver. This does not include the generals, Houses, gardens, treasures and antiques are included. (It is also said that 11 billion taels of silver)

Among them, the gold alone was 710 million taels and 264.8 tons (based on 37.3 grams per tael). During the same period, the national gold reserves of Britain, France and Russia were not as large as his own!

If this master is robbed, Emperor Zhu will not have to do anything, and he will directly explode his troops and sweep across the world.

such a pity!

However, if a Qing official cannot grab so much money, then he should grab a few more!Otherwise, he is also very interested in Kang Mazi's treasury.

"Let's go to Xiamen City and have a look. I'm very curious about how these people got so much money."

Under the escort of the warship, Zhu Heyi and his party landed on Xiamen Island, which had been fully controlled. After a while, the party entered Xiamen City, which was almost bombed into ruins.

In the courtyard of the Admiral's Mansion, boxes after boxes of gold and silver jewelry were moved out of the vault. Zhu Heyi also saw You Bowen, the commander of the Royal Army's [-]st Infantry Brigade, who was directing the soldiers to carry and count the money.

"I didn't know that your Majesty is here, but I am not able to welcome you from afar. I hope your Majesty will forgive me!" Seeing the emperor's arrival, You Bowen immediately stepped forward to pay his respects.

"Okay, I don't have that many rules. How much money have you copied so far?" Zhu Heyi asked, waving his hand nonchalantly.

"Your Majesty, there are currently more than 300 million taels of silver and more than 30 taels of gold that have been registered. Furs, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings cannot be estimated at the moment. In addition, a soldier just reported that they also collected them at the Taixia Bingbei Road Yamen. For millions of taels of silver!" You Bowen replied one by one.

"So much!" He was quite shocked when he estimated that he had copied 500 million taels of silver before. Now it seems that it is far more than 500 million taels of silver, but...

"Taixia Military Preparation Road? A fourth-grade official is so rich?" Zhu Heyi asked again.

"Your Majesty does not know that although this Xiamen Bingdao is only a fourth-rank official, he manages the government affairs of both Xiamen and Taiwan at the same time, and Xiamen has a Fujian customs office."

After hearing what You Bowen said, Zhu Heyi immediately understood that customs, wasn't this how he stole foreigners' money in Dingtian Mansion?

"Where are those Tatar dog officials?" Zhu Heyi asked again.

"Most of them were killed during the siege, and those who survived were basically injured. All the minor officials were cleaned up."

Zhu Heyi nodded. He originally wanted to see who these dog officials were who could be greedy for so much money. Since they had already been cleaned up, that was fine.

But speaking of it, I should be considered a rich man now. Should I send out a wave of troops to conquer the world with only 3 people? This is unrealistic!

Haicheng City, Fujian Navy Camp

At this moment, Shi Lang, who was being helped back by a group of navy officers, looked extremely pale.

"How much is withdrawn?"

Shi Lang held the handle of the chair and looked at a naval officer beside him and asked.

The officer who was questioned immediately lowered his head, and then he carefully replied: "There are 6 three-masted gunboats, 9 bird boats, 8 lucky boats, 5 centipede boats, 6 sand boats, and 2000 sailors." Multiple people.”

As soon as the officer finished speaking, Shi Langdun felt a stinging pain in his chest, his head was spinning, his throat was sweet, and another mouthful of old blood spurted out.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!"

A group of officers immediately surrounded him.

Old man, please hold on!

After a while, Shi Lang finally regained his composure, but now his face looked even worse than before.

At this moment, Shi Lang, who was sitting in the chair, was really on the verge of crying.

After so many years of saving and accumulating more than 300 warships little by little, only 34 ships were left in one day.

Is this the retribution for his rebellion against the Ming Dynasty?

"Report!" At this moment, a Qing army soldier rushed in to report.

"Reporting to the Admiral, an hour ago, the Ming army landed on Xiamen Island, the south side of Zhangzhou, Xiang'an and other surrounding areas, and launched attacks on various garrison locations. The defenders in various places were outnumbered and lost to the Ming army. After being lost, the city of Xiamen fell to the front of the Ming army not long ago."

The commanding officer's report instantly became audible in the entire meeting hall. The naval officers did not dare to make any move, and even deliberately slowed down their breathing.

Shi Lang, who was sitting in the chair, almost drove away on the spot when he heard the news.

If the city of Xiamen was destroyed, wouldn't all the money he put in the Admiral's Mansion be taken away by the Ming army?

his money!

First, Taiwan was occupied, and half of the family property was lost. Then, the city of Xiamen was destroyed, and the remaining half was lost again.

The money he had worked so hard to save all his life was just gone?

In just a few days, they were all wiped out by the murderous Ming army?

Why is his life so miserable!

After a long time, he looked up at everyone with a tired look.

"Moor the remaining warships in the port and get all the sailors ashore. The Ming navy has strong ships and powerful artillery. We are no match. In addition, we will notify the various battalions to gather in Haicheng and send people to find out the strength of the Ming army and the generals in charge. Also, send someone to Fuzhou General Mansion to ask for help, saying that the remnants of the Ming Dynasty have resurrected and have tens of thousands of troops, and our Xiamen garrison has been unable to resist."

"By the way, Si Gan, please help me write another memorial and send it to the capital as a haste [-] miles away."

"Yes, my lord!"

Shi Lang was not only the admiral of the Fujian Navy, but also the commander-in-chief of Tong'an. He had 8000 battalions under his command, but they were stationed in various places.

Although it is still unclear how many people landed in the Ming army, it can be judged from the size of the navy that the number of the land army was at least tens of thousands!

His 8000 battalions plus the remaining 2000 sailors totaled more than [-] troops, and they were scattered everywhere. It didn't look like he had a chance of winning.

After all, I have never fought 300 or 100 naval battles.

At the moment, we can only gather our troops and put them in Haicheng, and defend the city until the imperial reinforcements arrive.
