With the manpower that Tang Kuoquan can mobilize quickly, it is difficult to protect the city. If he wants to defend the sea, he can only rely on the manpower from the counties and villages near the sea.

However, what Tang Kuoquan was worried about would not really happen.

why?How could the Chu family really pretend to be Voss soldiers to harass?Really landed, how to act next?
So when Tang Kuoquan heard that [-] strong men had been mobilized by the sea to protect them, but the Voss' ships did not go ashore at all but fled eastward because they saw their whereabouts uncovered.

"Do you know the number?" Tang Kuoquan asked.

The master replied: "I heard the news that they didn't go ashore, so I don't know the exact number of people, but judging from the size of the ships, there should be no fewer than five or six hundred people in three medium-sized cargo ships and a dozen small boats."

The few ships brought by Xiao Sining and the others were also counted. Who would have thought that this would be a drama?
The master calculated in his heart, anyway, he didn't know the number of people, so he calculated it according to the load capacity of the ship. Treating people as goods, they can be stacked on top of each other, so it should look better on the report.

After all, under the encouragement and appeal of the magistrate, the whole people became soldiers, scaring away so many invaders, so that they dare not go to the shore, isn't it a big face?
Tang Kuoquan: "Zoubao wrote: six medium-sized ships and thirty small boats, conservatively estimated, the number of people is no less than one thousand and two hundred!
In addition, you will arrange the counties and villages involved in the defense according to this number! "

Live doubled!
Master: "My lord is brilliant! High, really high!"

The person in charge of a state capital, especially the person in charge of a remote state capital, is the emperor of this place, saying what he says.

He wants to order the whole city not to poop for ten days, even if you are halfway through the feces, you have to hold back and digest internally.

Therefore, Tang Kuoquan's last statement to the master meant that the whole people should speak in unison.

It is the Ganzhou government that agrees surprisingly with the Xuanwei government's estimate of the number of people.

When the prefect of Ganzhou heard the news that the shipyard was attacked, the ships were stolen, and the tank boats were burned, his first reaction was to punish him.

But when I heard that the workers fought to the death in order to protect the property of the imperial court, and the foreman died on the job, he breathed a sigh of relief—someone was killed or injured, but he couldn't bear much responsibility for this matter.

If the loss is not large, then he, the prefect, is guilty of negligence, but if it is a disaster that cannot be resisted by manpower, and he tried his best to resist it, maybe he can still be meritorious.

After listening to the report in detail, those workers said that they were attacked in the middle of the night, and it was too dark. Only by the light of the torches and the fire that started later, they couldn't see how many people there were, and how many shadows there were.

Knowing that the black and white masses are full of people, and don't know how many there are, the prefect of Ganzhou feels more at ease.

It's dark and dark... The government-run shipyard in Ganzhou only has more than 300 laborers and soldiers. If they can suffer heavy losses, they must have [-] troops, right?
Besides, not counting the ships that were burnt but extinguished and repaired in time, only the gang of thieves towed away three medium-sized cargo ships, three or four small boats, and burned a tank boat. This is several years of work quantity.

Since the loss is so big, he should simply report more and ask the court to allocate funds, so he can make some money, right?
How much more to report?At least double it?How to calculate that number?Calculated according to the load, count him as a thousand or hundreds of people!

Damn Xue Zhenghao, you can't guard the border, you let the prisoners of war escape, and the border gate makes you guard into a sieve with big holes...Okay, I gave you a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds, but what did you do?

Several state capitals have caused such a large loss, you still have a fart to use!
Looking back on the previous situation, the emperor was furious.

If it is true that he will be punished for several crimes, beheaded and ransacked, none of them will be missed.

The memorials on the emperor's imperial case were submitted by the state governments in various places, so they reported their own affairs, but what Hu Hengqiu reported was the whole story——

The remnants of Voss escaped with the escaped prisoners of war, but they were discovered on the way, and only 50 people were taken out. It is unknown how many people were left behind.

However, according to subsequent survey estimates, the number of people was not less than four or five hundred.

The 50 people who were picked up were divided into two groups, and 30 people were intercepted in the mountains by Linyanghou. They resisted fiercely.

Two people were captured alive, and the rest were killed, but the two captured alive did not persist until the interrogation was over and died.

But they also found out their intentions - to cooperate with the Daxuan rebels to snatch the ships of the Ganzhou shipyard, attack Xuanwei Mansion by sea, and occupy the granary.

The result of the trial from the prisoner-of-war camp is that they need to occupy another place to provide internal support to the Voss army, so that King Voss can turn his attention to the war and exempt their property and family members from being confiscated.

The news I learned from Ganzhou Shipyard is that the number of assailants is unknown, but there are hundreds or thousands of people, and most of them are from Daxuan.

Some people claimed that each person who snatched a big boat would get 200 taels of silver, and each person who snatched a small boat would get 50 taels of silver. One of them claimed to be the Kong family, and the other claimed to be the Wei family.

Now it's ruined!
There are no fewer than ten surnames that have close business cooperation with the Kong and Wei families, and among the families closely related to these surnames, their members account for half of the courtiers in the court.

On the 15th day of the first month of the 25th year of Qingde, Xuanguo launched a nationwide, vigorous and protracted campaign of "clearing the crimes of rebellion".

The court and the officialdom were chaotic, and the shopping malls were peaceful and peaceful.

"They won't steal our business anymore?" Chu Qing asked.

Xiaobao: "Kong and Wei's family have been investigated, and the scope of the investigation is too large. They are all in danger, so they can't care about business!"

Chu Qing resigned as an official in the household department and ignored the cotton fields, and the Chu family's cotton business was correspondingly robbed a lot. Not only that, even the counterfeit products of "Palace Yuye Liquor" began to come out to run out of the Chu family's wine shop.

Who let their Yanyin become waste paper? The losses caused by Chu Qing must be made up from the Chu family, right?

Even cement is not immune to impact.

Originally, Xu Guangming promoted cement everywhere, but orders from the Chu family flew in like snowflakes, and Xu Guangming's hands and feet were sore from kickbacks.

But all of a sudden, many merchants used cheap Sanhe clay as Chu's cement to confuse the public, and even the sacks used the same gray bags as the Chu's, instead of the original brown bags.

Genuine and pirated versions are always a pair of contradictory ecosystems, making it clear how much joy there is and how much sorrow.

However, since the eruption of the big tax payment movement, it has subsided a lot.

"I asked someone to anonymously report that Kong Jia privately built a salt well, hehe." Xiaobao said, "How long will it be before we don't add trouble to the well?

As far as their family robs our business a lot, they also specialize in firing low-quality glassware to pretend to be ours, smashing our signboard! "

Chu Qing: "What else are you doing?"

Xiaobao: "Meng Chun's brother-in-law's family, someone reported that they opened a coal mine privately... My alias is 'Renren'."

Chu Qing: "That's all? But I heard you've been busy recently?"

Xiaobao: "I asked them to make a mirror. Grandpa Huang and I go to play every day. It's very interesting. We stick tin foil on the glass surface and pour mercury on it;

Mom, you are right, mercury can dissolve tin, and the mercury and tin foil become a thin layer that sticks to the glass, and the mirror is very bright, no worse than the vanity mirror my father bought for you..."

Chu Qing: "What else?"

Xiaobao: "Uncle Tiger changed the prescription for Grandpa Huang, and added acupuncture and moxibustion..."

Chu Qing: "Little Treasure!"

Xiaobao: "That... robbed some goods, porcelain, silk and so on..."

Chu Qing patted the table: "Avoid the important and take the light!"

Little Bao Nana: "I secretly built a mortar and injured two people... But it's not heavy, it's really not heavy, and it will recover in a few days!"
