Great Song Pirate

Chapter 142 Dasuo Sea (Ask for a monthly pass)
When everything was developing according to Xu Yi's design, something happened. Xu Yi suddenly received a letter from Xue Tu Feige who was far away in Hangzhou. After opening the note, Xu Yi was shocked because there were not many words on it. But all of them hit his heart like a heavy hammer, and he wrote a letter, "The navy will go to sea to suppress the bandits! Prepare quickly!"

But the news seemed to come a bit late. Not long after Xu Yi sent the boat out, Wang Feng, Kong Qingxi and others fled back to Dulong Island with the fleet sent to them in a panic.

Shocked, Xu Yi immediately brought Wang Feng and others back to the Juyi Hall. After their narration, Xu Yi finally figured out what happened. It turned out that what happened to Princess Yiqing still happened.

When Wang Feng and others were looking for a target in the sea area of ​​Shengsi, a large fleet of navy ships suddenly appeared on the sea, sailing all the way towards Shengsi. What happened, but they all still remember Xu Yi's repeated confession that they should not move official ships at any time, and they should take the initiative to back down when they see navy ships. Seeing that the situation is not right, Wang Feng and others immediately sailed back and withdrew to Shengsi River However, just after they arrived at the water village, the imperial navy came after them, and there were no less than a hundred navy fleets. Even if these ships were small boats, the number of officers and soldiers might not be less than [-]. Wang Feng Let alone start a war with the naval warships, if the opponent just overwhelms them, they can crush his fast boats into pieces, scaring Wang Feng, Kong Qingxi and others to give up the water villages in the Shengsi Islands without hesitation. , only had time to bring all the people on the island onto the boat, and even the soft ones didn't have time to clean up, drove out of the water village, and fled all the way south.

The army fleet also noticed their behavior was suspicious, so they immediately sent dozens of fast boats to chase them. Wang Feng was careful this time. Under the pursuit of these warships, he didn't dare to stay, and he didn't immediately turn to Huangyu Island. Or they retreated in the direction of Dulong Island, but fled southward with a smooth wind. The imperial military ships also had fast boats, which kept chasing them all the way, chasing them for a day, almost catching up with them. A few kerosene bombs passed by and ignited the nearest military ship that was chasing after them. The rest of the military ships slowed down after seeing such a powerful thing on their ship. At this time, the sky was getting dark, Wang Feng They were able to take advantage of the night to turn around and retreat towards Dulong Island.

When Xu Yi asked how they caused the imperial court to pursue and suppress them, Wang Feng and Kong Qingxi were also at a loss, and they swore that they followed Xu Yi's orders in Shengsi, and rarely attacked the ships of the Song Dynasty, and chose more It was the Liao ships that traveled to and from the Liao and Song Dynasties, and never moved an official ship. It is not clear why so many naval ships were encircled and suppressed.

After listening to Wang Feng and others' narration, Xu Yi sighed in his heart. It seems that Yiqing's incident happened, but he still comforted Wang Feng and the others and let them go down to rest.

Xu Yi didn't dare to delay, so he immediately sent people to Huangyu Island, and all the personnel stationed there were withdrawn to Dulong Island. At the same time, he sent all the fishing boats on the island, pretending to be fishermen, to set up an outpost in the waters west of Dulong Island, and sent several old fishermen They sailed to Laohu Islet, where they used to start, as the outpost of Dulong Island. Once they found a large navy fleet, they had to return immediately, and rush back to Dulong Island to report the news without disturbing the troops.

In addition to these, Xu Yi temporarily installed ballistas on all ships, equipped with kerosene bombs and several stone bombs, and made preparations for a battle with the navy when necessary. All personnel gathered at the dock Stand by, do not go home and live without authorization, and are ready to fight at any time.

The atmosphere on Dulong Island became unprecedentedly tense. This was the first time for Dulong Island to have such a tense atmosphere. Even when waiting for the attack of Pu Yinjian from Huangyu Island last time, the island had never had such a high level of tension. This atmosphere infected All the people on the island, even the children of the pirates on the island, were aware of this uneasy atmosphere, and rarely went to the stockade to run around laughing and playing around.

After doing all this, Xu Yi sat alone in the study for a long time and did not come out again. He was thinking about whether they would stick to this place if the navy really came to encircle and suppress them, or whether they would give up here and retreat to the sea farther away. It is a painful choice. If he sticks to the island, he has no confidence that he can resist the imperial navy's massive attack. Once the imperial fleet captures Dulong Island, so many people on the island will definitely be wiped out and become ghosts under the knife. , but he is not willing to let him give up here. He has lived here for so long, and he has already regarded this Dulong Island as his home, and so many places here are completed step by step according to his plan. The shipyard, freshwater dock, blacksmith workshop, soap workshop, gunpowder workshop, and so many other places were all planned by him. Abandoning this place means that all his previous efforts will be in vain. He is not reconciled, and even more so I can't bear it!Whether to give up or stick to it, he couldn't make up his mind for a while. This was the first time he had come to this era. Suddenly he wanted to smoke a cigarette, but where would he get this thing now? !So he got up and paced back and forth in the room, the night gradually darkened, but Xu Yi still paced back and forth in the study, still making a decision.

Xu Yi's anxiety fell into the eyes of Yingchun and the others. They already knew what happened at sea, and knew that the government had started to suppress pirates, but they didn't know why. Only Yingchun and Yiqing Vaguely seems to think of the reason.

After Yiqing worked up his courage a few times, he still knocked on the door of Xu Yi's study room. Seeing Yiqing's arrival, Xu Yi frowned slightly, but still invited her into the room: "It's getting late, princess Haven't you slept yet? What's the matter with me?"

Yiqing looked up at Xu Yi, bit her lips and asked, "My lord, don't call me a princess anymore. Since I left the palace, I am no longer a princess. You should call me Qian'er, my lord. Please." You can tell me bluntly, is it because of me that the government is on the sea this time? Is your son worried about Dulong Island?"

Xu Yi looked at Yiqing's pale cheeks, pondered for a moment, and then replied: "This Xu is not clear, but this time the government's action to clear the sea is too sudden. After all, there are only more than 1000 soldiers on Dulong Island." , there are only more than [-] ships that can be used. If I want to deal with a large number of naval warships, I, Xu Yi, am not a lunatic, nor a god. It would be a lie to say that I am not worried! Thousands of people died on Dulong Island It's in my hands, and it's hard for me, a big boss, not to worry about it!"

Looking at the wry smile on Xu Yi's face, Yiqing suddenly felt distressed. It wasn't long since she knew Xu Yi, but she had never seen why Xu Yi was so worried about things. After gritting her teeth, She resolutely said: "If the officers and soldiers Dasuo Haihai came for me this time, you might as well send me back to the land, so that as long as the government sees me, they will definitely retreat immediately and stop chasing the sea like this. Suppressed, Yiqing thank you son for taking care of me during this time!" Said, the circles of his eyes turned red.

After hearing her words, Xu Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you talking about? Is it possible that I, Xu Yi, are so unbearable in the eyes of the princess? Although the officers and soldiers are not fake this time, they are not necessarily aimed at our Dulong Island." Besides, I'm not necessarily afraid of the court navy. Since Xu left you at the beginning, I won't be afraid that the government will come to trouble us. At worst, we can fight them. It doesn't mean that our Dulong Island will be full All lost, the princess probably doesn't understand the combat power of our Dulong Island. As long as it is at sea, I, Xu, am confident that I can deal with a fleet that is several times ours. Don't mention this matter again. I, Xu, am not afraid of trouble My dear, you can stay at ease, now that it is late at night, please rest up as soon as possible! Xu will not see you off!" After speaking, Xu raised his hand and made a gesture of seeing off the guests.

"I...Yiqing thank you for your kindness, but after all, it's for me alone, so many of you want to take such a risk, but how should I deal with it?" Tears welled up in Yiqing's eyes as she spoke, with a grateful expression on her face. Looking at Xu Yi.

"I support Xianggong's decision. Sister, don't say any more. We have never been afraid of anyone in Dulong Island. Xianggong's decision like this shows that I did not misunderstand the person. Although Yingchun has not read any books, I know it. A good man should be so upright in his work, I, Yingchun, am also proud of my husband, my sister just needs to live with peace of mind, as long as we are here, no one will try to take you away from Dulong Island!" At this time, Yingchun opened the door and entered , she spoke, apparently she had heard what Yiqing and Xu Yi said just now.

The tears in Yiqing's eyes finally fell down, and she threw herself into Yingchun's arms and sobbed softly, "Sister Yingchun..."

Yingchun gently patted Yiqing's back to comfort her, looked at Xu Yi with both eyes, nodded slightly to show his support, and said: "Mr. But our Dulong Island is far away from the land, and we have never done anything excessive. On such a sea, it may not be easy to find us. Although the government may be looking for Princess Yiqing , but if they look for it for a while, they will naturally withdraw their troops and go back. As long as we don't go out to rob in the near future, we don't necessarily have to worry about anything, not to mention that our place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It may not be possible to get any cheap, Mr. Xianggong should rest early! After all, you are the head of the island now, once you lose confidence, what will the brothers below do?"

After listening to Yingchun's words, Xu Yi felt a sense of enlightenment, and said with a smile: "Yingchun, who knows me, is a bit mediocre for me to do so. It doesn't matter if I don't want to. At worst, the soldiers will come and cover them up. Everyone, go to sleep! "
