Chapter 580 Addition to the Population ([-])

Bai Qing suddenly saw the latest military situation. The pirates bombarded the beach at dawn, and he broke into a cold sweat. Fortunately, it was written in time that the range of the ship's guns was limited, and all the shells fell on the beach. He suspected that the pirates were showing off their force to deter them. , but there was no follow-up landing battle, it can be seen that the pirates were indeed disabled this time, and the loss of five or sixty people made them unable to go ashore to fight again.

Bai Qing squinted his eyes to read the full text in small handwriting, and realized that this was the most valuable news, which was enough to infer how many ships and roughly how many pirates came this time.

A ship with guns must be a big ship. A ship can carry a limited amount of food and water on the sea, so the number of people who can board the ship is limited. After losing five or sixty people, the pirates can only fire a few shots from the sea and then leave. On the one hand, the pirates only came with one ship this time, and those dozens of people are their only combatants. Maybe other people are also capable of fighting, but the pirates dare not take risks. If they fail again, they may take the helm and sail There may not be enough people.

Thinking of this, Bai Qing summoned his subordinates and asked the scribes to copy out the information and circulate it to discuss countermeasures. The prisoners in their hands either did not speak, or they did not understand what they were saying. Unexpectedly, their flamboyant bombardment turned out to be So much information for nothing.

Ever since they came to the local area, they finally had valuable information about the pirates. Everyone was very excited, digging out clues between the lines. Bai Qing even returned a letter to Cheng Feng, asking him to submit it as soon as possible.

Bai Qing didn't intend to let the people in the county know about the bombardment. After arresting people in the Yamen, the military and the government issued a joint announcement, announcing that Erma Town had won a sneak attack by pirates, how many people were killed and how many were captured alive People, the captives will be paraded through the streets in three days.

Three days later, the captives paraded through the streets to vent the accumulated emotions of the local people. As for whether they should be executed afterwards or sent to Dong'an Mansion, they still have to wait for the general's instructions. What Bai Qing has to do now is to hurry up and see if he can pry Open the captives' mouths and let them speak something that everyone can understand.

The people of Donglin County have been really tossed these days. First, they were frightened by the news that pirates had landed in Qianshan Town, but they still haven’t calmed down. Then they were stimulated by the news that Erma Town had won the battle. It took a long time to recover, and there were not many people who believed it, thinking that the government was coaxing them to play.

It wasn't until a wise man went to Jiaji Shipping Company to inquire about the authenticity, got a positive answer, and then spread the word, that the common people felt a little bit of unbelievable surprise, and then boiled from a small surprise to great joy.

The official announcement was just that announcement, without any process or details, and the enlightened people gathered outside the door of Jiaji Shipping Company to know the details.

The gate of the boat shop became a temporary place for storytelling. The boatmen who came out to tell the story described the whole process very realistically, making people feel as if they had experienced a real battle. A Baijia army is an excellent army that can win battles no matter where it goes.

The people who were not satisfied after listening to the story couldn't help but ask how Jiaji Boat Company knew the details so clearly, so they got an unsurprising answer, because the place where the battle took place was on the beach outside Siliu Village. For the main force, there is no such wonderful story yet.
