Great Song Pirate

Chapter 144 The intention is in Taiwan (to. Ask for a monthly ticket)

Xu Yi's worry is not unreasonable. Those who can be elected as leaders are too timid to do it. They can't be said to be desperadoes, and almost all of them have murder cases when they go to sea. Jin Huo When they were there, some of them had some complaints about Xu Yi's cautiousness. They felt that although he was smart and capable, he was too timid to the court, so Xu Yi took this opportunity to knock the mountain and shake the tiger, because he He understood that the strength of the Song Dynasty was far from exhausted, and at most it would lose the area north of Jianghuai soon. He didn't want so many people to be buried with some bold guys.

Both Wang Feng and Kong Qingxi encountered the Navy's suppression this time, so they were quite shocked by the scene of a large number of naval warships that appeared at that time, and they still have lingering fears until now, so they said: "What the master said is very true. When I saw When so many imperial warships suddenly appeared on the sea, it really frightened me. I, Wang Feng, am not a courageous person, but we really dare not compare with the imperial navy, if it is not for Brother Kong If we were quick-witted and quick-handed, we would immediately lead our brothers out of the Shengsi Water Village. I’m afraid we’d all be the ghosts of officers and soldiers by now. It’s really scary to see a large army of warships attacking us! Now I fully understand When the head of the family was still a military adviser, why did you repeatedly explain to us the meaning of keeping a low profile, no matter how old we are, we can't compete with the imperial court's officers and soldiers!"

"Brother Wang, I agree with what you said. Think about how powerful Fang Shenggong was when he started the uprising. There were as many as 10 people under his command. Didn't we end up with a defeated army in the end? We can't Go easy on the imperial court's rebels, otherwise I'm afraid we really won't be able to get along! The reason why the master told us not to easily move the official ships of the imperial court is for the good of Dulong Island, everyone must remember it in the future!" Qian Laoben, who was Xu Yi's subordinate, immediately said that Qian Laoben has always been content with the status quo, and he is not very courageous. Don't provoke the government, this incident scared him not lightly, and he deeply believed in the tone that Xu Yi set at the beginning.

Other people below also nodded, thinking that this matter should be done in this way, because it can make a thousand-year boat.

"I called everyone here today to tell you that I am afraid that the things we have set up before will undergo some changes. Jiang Desheng has now stopped and concentrated on his shipping business, and there are many naval warships along the coast. In the short term, we may not be able to carry out our business around here, but it is not a solution for so many brothers to rest like this, I want to hear if you have any opinions, I am not a person, everyone Just say what you want!" Xu Yi said to the people present after taking a sip of tea.

These people are not polite people either. Wang Feng lost the outside stronghold twice in a row, and felt that it was quite embarrassing. Although he did the right thing the second time and was praised by Xu Yi, he always felt a little I couldn't hold my head up, but when I heard Xu Yi say to let everyone talk about my thoughts, I immediately stood up and said to Xu Yi: "The master, I, Wang Feng, think what the master said is that we have such a large group of people just rest like this." It’s not a solution, since the imperial court is now tight on the water surface along Liangzhe Road, let’s just go to the coast of Fujian Road to wander around. It is said that there are many more seagoing ships than our side, and the business will definitely be good, and the island over there There are quite a few houses, as long as we find a suitable place to settle down, we will definitely not have to worry about food and drink! I don’t know if what I said is okay?”

Xu Yi nodded after listening, and felt that what Wang Feng said was also feasible. He had considered the development of Taiwan before, but he had been delayed by the affairs here and had no energy to think about it. Now that he has freed up, he might as well put this The matter is also on the agenda, let Wang Feng go to the coast of Fujian to explore the road first, so he nodded to Wang Feng and said: "I think what Brother Wang said is okay, let's write it down and see if other brothers have any opinions. .”

Wang Feng was very happy to hear that, and excitedly did it. At this time, that Lu Hanrong stood up and said, "The boss, I, Lu Hanrong, have something to say. When Brother Shuimao comes back next year, I want to bring more people to Fusang. But we had limited manpower back then, so we didn’t send any more manpower to Big Brother Shuimao, now we have a lot of free time, and I don’t know if we can transfer some manpower to Brother Shuimao, it’s always better than resting all the time!”

Xu Yi nodded immediately. What Lu Hanrong said was right. The water cat has already established itself on Cancer Island. When it officially needs manpower, it might as well transfer some people here this time to expand the business there, so he nodded. Said: "Brother Lu is right, this matter can be written down! Our Song people's boats can't be shot, and the Fusang people's boats can't be moved, we can!"

Seeing that Wang Feng and Lu Hanrong's suggestions were all accepted by Xu Yi, the people behind them also expressed their ideas one after another. Some people want to go north and have activities in the Jiaodong area, and some people say they want to go out pretending to be a merchant ship. One vote, after talking for a long time at the end, Xu Yi still felt that what Wang Feng and Lu Hanrong said was feasible.

"I think what Brother Wang Feng and Brother Han Rong said about this matter is right. We might as well divide our actions into two routes. Brother Wang Feng may go south to the coastal area of ​​Fujian Road to have a look. There are many islands and there are many merchant ships coming and going. As long as we stand firm, You can have a good harvest. Even if something happens there, you can return it to us. As for Brother Hanrong, you can take a few boats to the water cat and help Brother Sun. Everything here will remain the same. What to do, what to do, as for Jiang Desheng, let him play for a few more days, as long as the government lifts the ban, it is expected that this Jiang Desheng will return to his old business, and then we will concentrate on taking them out in one fell swoop!" Xu Yi finally stopped everyone's discussion and made a final decision on the matter.

Xu Yi first ordered Lu Hanrong to take four boats with three or four hundred brothers to the water cat and obey the water cat's instructions. Lu Hanrong was overjoyed. He didn't expect that his suggestion from a newly promoted person would be successfully approved by Xu Yi , and asked him to lead a fleet to sea, so he immediately took the order to load sufficient supplies and took the fleet to the sea excitedly towards Cancer Island.

As for going to the coastal area of ​​Fujian, it is not so simple. It is adjacent to Fujian Road, and there are many forces. If you go there without preparation, you will inevitably stumble. After discussing for two days, a preliminary plan was decided. Based on his knowledge of the coastal areas of Fujian, Wang Feng was rather reckless in his actions. Fighting and killing were not a problem. Xu Yi was afraid that he would mess things up when he went out this time, so Relying on memory, he drew a sketch of the coast of Fujian Road for him and Kong Qingxi, and pointed out some of the more important islands on it to them, so that after they arrived at the coast of Fujian, they should not rush to attack the small local pirate forces, but It is necessary to find out the specific situation there, and then annex those small forces one by one without making a fuss, and gradually grow bigger. The most important thing is to find a suitable foothold. Xu Yi especially confessed to Wang Feng, You must be careful in everything, and discuss with Kong Qingxi more often. After all, this time he is going to bring more than a thousand brothers on the island, so don't be careless. If you encounter a naval warship, you must not be brave. You would rather retreat and ask for stability. This time, so I didn't dare to make too much of a big deal this time, so I agreed one by one.

After explaining this, Xu Yi pointed to the huge island on the sketch and confessed to the two: "Have you seen this?"

Both of them nodded and said they saw it, and Xu Yi continued: "This place should be called Liuqiu now, and it is the closest and largest island to Song Dynasty. It is probably more than a thousand times larger than our Dulong Island. Lakes and rivers are densely covered and very rich. Although I have never been to this place, I think there are probably people living there, most of them should be some indigenous people. Of course, you should not take it lightly. Other forces may have arrived here long ago. You have arrived in Fujian. After settling down along the coast, send a boat to bring some capable men here, board this Liuqiu Island, check the local topography and topography, and make detailed records. At its northernmost tip, there is a very good natural harbor. If you If you don't find a suitable place to stay, you can also stop here directly and build our stockade. We might as well make the stockade stronger. If necessary, we can settle here in the future, even if we really encounter the government and then encircle and suppress If we have here, even if we give up Dulong Island, it’s nothing. Once we settle here, we can rest easy in the future! If you meet the local natives, try to build a good relationship with them, and use it if you can. If you can't use it, beware of them, don't be plotted by them, that is, if they treat you badly, you can kill them as an example, this is a serious matter, you must remember, if there is not enough manpower, I will allow you to go to land to plunder some manpower. Come here to help build a stronghold, but don't wantonly kill, if you do this well, then you will be the biggest contributors to our Dulong Island, please be careful in your actions!"

After all, Kong Qingxi had little contact with Xu Yi. After listening to what he said, he opened his mouth wide and asked after a long while: "The master said just now that he had never been to Liuqiu Island. How did he know so many things? Didn't you You’ve been to this place, you’re deliberately trying to lie to us!”

Xu Yi became a little embarrassed. To be honest, he had never been to Taiwan Island, but he was no stranger to it. Because of historical reasons, I am afraid that every Chinese can understand some of the history and geography of Taiwan. Nothing strange, but for these bumpkins, what he said today was a bit too much, so he said nonsense: "I have never been here, but I have read some books that mentioned this place before. In fact, as early as the Three Kingdoms era, Sun Wu's warships have been here, and later in the Sui Dynasty, they sent troops to expedition here three times, and left some records, so it is not surprising that I know some, I guess you went this time , you should be able to meet the natives or Song people on the island, just write down what I told you, be careful!"

"Brother Kong! You don't know how powerful our big master is. He is a scholar, and he is no better than us mud-legged people who don't know a lot of characters. He knows a lot. If you let the big master tell you I’m afraid you won’t be able to finish listening to strange things for three days and three nights. Otherwise, how could he become our master? He’s much more capable than us. Look at the things our master has produced. Isn’t that so? It’s an eye-opener for us? I know that the boss is a person. If he says he hasn’t been there, he definitely hasn’t been there, but what he said must be true. We just need to do what the boss told us, and we can’t go wrong. , I’ve known the big master for so long and I’ve completely convinced him, he’s got a lot of experience!” Wang Feng chimed in, and each big master called him affectionate. If not, I'm afraid he is still wandering around in their broken boat with Jin Huo!Maybe he didn't know where he died at this moment, so Wang Feng's admiration for Xu Yi can be said to be unbelievable. Even if Xu Yi asked him to jump into the sea, he probably wouldn't even fart. Turn around Just jumped in.

Xu Yi sweated a little, and then began to explain some details to the two of them.

After all, the coast of Fujian is not small, so Xu Yi asked the shipwrights on the island to do a thorough overhaul of their ships, and installed ballistas for some ships that did not have ballistas, and provided enough fresh water, food and other supplies on board. Only then did Wang Feng and the others take nearly half of the remaining brothers from Dulong Island and leave Dulong Island, heading south.

Originally, Xu Yi also wanted to go to the south to see this time, but under the persuasion of Yingchun and Qian Laoben, he finally gave up this idea. After Dulong Island has developed to such a degree, it is no longer the time when it was in Laohuyu. A boss can do everything by himself. Now that he is big, if Xu Yi still wants to do everything by himself, I am afraid he may not be able to handle it if he is so busy. The things that should be let go should be let go to the people below. Things are doing quite well. I believe that after a period of experience, Wang Feng and the others, their vision is no longer what it used to be, and he made it so clear that if they can't do well again, then they should be put on the sidelines and replaced by capable people. Come and do it.

After sending off Wang Feng and the others, Xu Yi also felt that he was really tired, and he should take a good rest and accompany Yingchun and the others.
