Daming pirates

Sea Wolf's tactics are actually very simple. Artillery bombardment, infantry charges, musketeers arrayed to suppress, engineers and grenadiers to break barriers, rely on firepower to suppress the warriors on the village wall, preventing them from raising their heads to shoot arrows or release arrows.

Guns, the remaining infantry began to attack the stronghold confidently and boldly. Although it was simple, it was very effective.

The few villages with strong self-control and many people were in bad luck! They thought that with their strength, they should be able to block the attack of the Sea Wolf. Although the Sea Wolf tribe looked very neat and tidy, they were different from ordinary sea wolves.

There is a big difference between thieves and bandits, but they are self-reliant and strong in force, so they still want to give it a try.

As a result, they could only hold on for less than half a day before Zhuangzi was defeated by Sea Wolf. The Sea Wolf tribe would not be polite to those who dared to resist Zhuangzi. After they invaded Zhuangzi, they killed the culprit and tied up his whole family and took him away.

, as for their property, of course they were even less polite, and immediately loaded it into trucks and transported it to the riverside for shipment.

Including the village warriors who participated in the resistance in Zhuangzi, they were all young and strong. They were all tied up and put on the boat, and their families were also captured and transported to Tamsui City.

When Yu Xiaotian wanted to develop the island of Taiwan, what he lacked the most was people, especially strong laborers and women, who were welcome to come. In the past, the sea wolves mostly used recruitment and deception to lure people to the island of Taiwan.

Occasionally, force was used to rob the population.

Now that he had broken up with each other this time, Yu Xiaotian no longer pretended to be a good person. He ordered not to be polite to those who were not convinced, and to capture as many young laborers as possible and send them to Taiwan Island. If he could get some young women

If so, it would at least alleviate the current serious imbalance in the male-female ratio there.

Therefore, this time all the ministries operating along the coast of Fujian were tasked with one task, which was to find ways to collect people and transfer them to Taiwan Island for resettlement.

Now that Liu Yidao is bringing people here, he must find a way to get more people. If he encounters such an opportunity, of course he will not be polite. He will get all the old and young people in Zhuangzi on board and send them directly to Taiwan Island.

Hailang and the officials in the city have been very busy these days. Liu Yidao did not lead his troops to attack the city. He first raided the villages around Quanzhou City, subdued the local forces, and also took the opportunity to obtain a large amount of goods.

Another big sum was made for Yu Xiaotian.

When three days passed, Cai Shanji was fully prepared to wait for Liu Wutang's three thousand officers and soldiers to arrive in Quanzhou City. When the time came, he ordered Liu Wutang to lead his troops out of the city and beat up the pirates who had landed in Sea Wolf.

them.

But after waiting for three days, Cai Shanji received a bolt from the blue. The people he sent out ran back to Quanzhou City in panic and told Cai Shanji the bad news.

"What? Say it again? Is this serious?" After hearing the report from his subordinates, Cai Shanji was so frightened that he almost slipped out of his chair and fell to the ground. He suppressed the fear in his heart and asked quickly, fearing that his ears were broken.

Question, I heard it wrong.

The disgraced servant who was kneeling on the ground nodded quickly and said: "That's true! After leaving the city, the young man rushed to Tong'an County, but the sea wolf over there had surrounded Tong'an County, but he did not see a large number of officers and soldiers, so

The young man followed the direction the army came from and found Luotian Village. Only then did he realize that the bandits had visited Luotian Village a few days ago and had set up an ambush there.

When General Liu Shen led his troops to Luotian Village, they had a fight with Hailang, but General Liu Shen's troops were defeated by the bandits, and eventually the entire army was annihilated in the Luotian Village area.

According to the villagers, even General Liu Shen himself was reportedly captured alive by the pirates. Nearly a thousand officers and soldiers were killed on the spot, and only a few hundred escaped. The rest were captured alive by the pirates and taken to

Weitou Bay area.

Xiao Xiao didn't believe this was true at first, but after checking the area, he found that a big battle had indeed taken place there. Before the pirates withdrew, the corpses of the generals and soldiers were buried on the spot. Xiao Xiao also secretly opened up a few

This is a new grave, and there are indeed many corpses of officers and soldiers buried in it. This is unmistakable!

In addition, I checked the battlefield and found that there was indeed a lot of blood stains and some things thrown away by the officers and soldiers, so I didn't dare to neglect and hurried back! Please make your decision, sir!"

After Cai Shanji heard this, he had nothing to doubt anymore! He waited and waited, but the result was like this, four thousand officers and soldiers!

How could the four thousand officers and soldiers be swatted away by the Sea Wolf just like swatting flies? How many troops did the Sea Wolf have? How could it be possible that the four thousand officers and soldiers could be wiped out so easily?

Even if it were four thousand pigs, it would take a long time to kill them! What about four thousand living men? Moreover, they had knives and guns, so how could they be killed like that?

"Then have you asked the villagers of Luotian Village about how many rebel troops are fighting against General Liu Shen?" Although Cai Shanji had confirmed that Liu Wutang's army was finished, he still asked without giving up, at least

I can understand the strength of the pirates.

"I asked about it, and the local villagers said that the number of rebels is not large, only about a thousand people!..."

"Nonsense! This is impossible! The bandit army only has more than a thousand people. How can they annihilate the entire army of 4,000 officers and soldiers? How is this possible? I don't believe it!" Cai Shanji couldn't bear it anymore after hearing this.

He jumped up and waved his hands and shouted loudly.

The servant smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "I couldn't believe it at first. After asking many times, I was sure that many local villagers said in unison that there were only more than a thousand pirates and there were absolutely no officers and soldiers.

many!

However, according to local villagers, these bandit troops were well-drilled, well-organized in advance and retreat, had strict military discipline, and were quite fierce! The officers and soldiers only had a face-to-face encounter with them and were completely defeated by them. In addition, they also had an ambush at the other end of the mountain pass.

The ambush blocked the army's escape from the mountain pass.

In the end, under the attack of two sides, the official army was defeated and annihilated. It can be seen that the thief army on land is also quite good at fighting and very strong. Otherwise, General Liu Shen's troops would not have been annihilated.

!”

After Cai Shanji heard this, he fell into the chair with a plop, his face was ashen and he didn't say anything for a long time.

His original plan was almost completely shattered after receiving the news. He never thought that the four thousand officers and soldiers would be like dregs, facing only more than a thousand sea wolf bandits.

He was so vulnerable that he was easily swallowed up by others.

How did the Sea Wolf's followers train? Cai Shanji could hardly imagine it, but one thing he knew was that if he didn't think of a way out, the Sea Wolf would capture Tong'an County and even Quanzhou City under his feet.

, are not impossible.

There seems to be no hope of relying on military power to restrain Yu Hailang. Although there is still an army of about 3,000 people in Tingzhou Prefecture, rushing to Zhangzhou Prefecture, but with Yanping Prefecture

After the four thousand officers and soldiers were completely annihilated, he no longer held any hope for the three thousand officers and soldiers in Tingzhou Prefecture.

Now he doesn't even think about sending people to recruit the three thousand officers and soldiers from Tingzhou Prefecture, because according to the combat power of Sea Wolf, even if he pulls the three thousand officers and soldiers from Tingzhou Prefecture, it will not be enough.

In other words, it just adds to the meager achievements of the Sea Wolf tribe.

Fujian officials can no longer withstand another heavy blow. If the three thousand officers and soldiers in Tingzhou Prefecture are also knocked out by Hailang, then there will basically not be many troops in the Zhangquan area, including Xinghua Prefecture.

Now that the officers and soldiers are available, the officials in the capital still don’t know how to jump out and impeach him!

Cai Shanji fell down on his chair. Although he had a splitting headache, he was still thinking about countermeasures. However, after much thought, he could not think of any good way to deal with the crisis in front of him.

He couldn't help but cursed viciously to himself: If Zhu Yifeng hadn't been so full and insisted on finding trouble with Yu, how could they in Fujian have caused such a disaster? It's all Zhu Yifeng's fault.

Feng was so embarrassed that I wanted to write a bullet to impeach him!

When Cai Shanji was at a loss, one of his staff, Wen Liufang, came out from behind, waved his hand and drove out the man who came back to report the news. He bowed and clasped his fists and whispered to Cai Shanji: "Dong Weng! This is not a place for talking.

There is no place, please Dong Weng go back to your residence first and then talk about it!"

Only then did Cai Shanji realize that this is now the prefect's office, but he is no longer the prefect here. There is no guarantee that people will talk too much when talking about some things here. Only a few people know about the peace talks with Hailang.

If the matter spreads out, some people with ulterior motives will definitely use it as a basis to make a big fuss and impeach him!

So he nodded quickly, took Wen Liufang out of the magistrate's office, and returned to his residence. Then he closed the door, moved away the screens, and asked Wen Liufang, "What do you think, sir, of what happened now?"

Wen Liufang smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect it! The Sea Wolf tribe was so good at fighting, and four thousand soldiers were easily eaten by them. In this case, I'm afraid Dong Weng can only agree to Yu Xiaotian's conditions!"

"

Cai Shanji's face felt as if he had been slapped several times. It was as ugly as it was, and he said angrily: "Agree to his conditions? If you agree to his conditions, wouldn't it be equivalent to ruining my future?"

I don’t know how many people are staring at this matter now, waiting to impeach me! If Weitou Bay is given to this person named Yu, even if the official is not confiscated and executed, at least he will be exiled to Qiongya!"

Wen Liufang shook his head and said: "The students think that this matter can actually be promised to them! It's just that I'm afraid the students need to talk to them again. If we can't hand over Weitou Bay to them openly, then can't we do it secretly?

?”

Cai Shanji was stunned for a moment, and asked Wen Liufang a little confused: "Secretly!? How can such a thing be traded secretly? How could the huge Weitou Bay be handed over to them secretly without knowing it?"
