Chapter 390 Prologue

Yan Qi is quite flexible, and this pirate king still has not given up on his early habit of fighting and fighting with others.

Many of his subordinates died every year because of fighting with him, but Yan Qi was happy. He relied on his mood and anger and killing innocent people to maintain his cruel image, and at the same time he kept killing the guards around him, warning everyone that attempting to assassinate him was impossible to complete.

After arriving at the coast of Dongfan in front of him, Yan Qi climbed up from the deck of the ship and looked into the distance from under the high cross-mast.

But it was only three or four miles away, and with the height of the place, Yan Qi easily saw the situation on the shore clearly.

Of course, the large and wide beach areas, piers, and port areas cannot be compared with Quanzhou, which stretches for hundreds of miles, but it also has a considerable range and distance. Yan Qi is not very clear. There are not many annexes to the Nan'anxi area to the north, so it cannot be considered a mature port area for development.

The port area of ​​Quanzhou is divided into many large dock areas, from guiding ships into ports to mooring, unloading, loading, supplying, and repairing. The Dongfan has just been developed for a while, except for some facilities in Nan'anxi, the rest is desolate.

There may be traps in desolation. Yan Qi looked at it for a while and slid down from the mast.

Liu Dan had been waiting on Yan Qi's flagship for a long time. Seeing Yan Qi come down, he said, "How?"

Yan Qi's face was solemn, and he said, "The golden drums are strict and the flags are clear, and the queues are as smooth as cutting axes. They said that the Nan'an Prefecture Army is a powerful brigade and is not nonsense."

Liu Dan nodded and said, "From the situation in Penghu, I already know."

The entire fleet has actually been spying outside the Penghu port for a day, but through the observation of the defenses on the opposite shore and the troops stationed at the port, Yan Qi and Liu Dan both felt that it would cost a great price to defeat Penghu. The main reason was that the terrain of the port was steep and it was not conducive to the deployment of the army. One outer island after another occupied no great significance. If the island was not captured, it would have no impact on Penghu's defense.

Yan and Li were still willing to conquer Penghu first and seize the water supply from Penghu to stabilize the morale of the army.

The fleet is outside, with a retreating base, and is completely different from drifting on the sea.

But Penghu had no chance and could only go directly to the East Phantom.

The Dongfan was obviously not a good bone to chew. Two pirate kings roamed the seven seas and were pirate leaders on the sea for more than ten years. They have rich experience and their perspectives are different from ordinary pirates. They had invaded Zhangzhou before, and the Wei Dynasty also had more than ten thousand xiang troops in Zhangzhou. When the pirates first arrived at the sea, the dock and port were already in chaos and had no preparation in advance. The xiang army was fleeing with desperate destiny by the people. The city guard was useless. The Xiang army guarding the city gate fired a few crossbows. Seeing that the pirates had not retreated, they had already scattered.

Looking at the Dongfan again, it is completely different from Zhangzhou and is very different.

The island's strict and murderous aura is quite obvious, the army is neat and the defense level is clear, the pier is empty and not actively destroyed, and it also shows the strong confidence of the soldiers on the island, and a fierce battle is inevitable.

Yan Qi likes fighting and blood, whether it is his own or his enemy's blood.

In the scene of blood splashing, Yan Qi saw the person's head flying, the limbs were cut off, and the strong man had his arms cut off, lying on the ground and screaming.

Whenever he saw such a scene, Yan Qi trembled and was extremely excited.

Thinking of the about to break out of a war of tens of thousands of people, Yan Qi was trembling slightly. He licked his lips and said to a group of Wei people kneeling in front of him: "You said that Nan'an Hou was seriously ill, is this news true?"

A tall and thin man with a beard raised his face and said, "Please don't worry, Master Yan, I think it must be true. There is no need for the Dongfan to lead the two kings to the Dongfan. He told him in advance that Nan'an Hou was sick. What are the benefits except for his own panic and attracting the two kings? They only have thousands of government troops on the island, and many remote places cannot be taken care of. The villain sneaked into the Dongfan, but nothing happened. Our leader asked Xu Zi to kill him first, and his old nest was taken away. For so long, government officials in various places have been arresting us. Life is so hard... The two kings see that I am very thin now, and I am forced to starve and have lost dozens of pounds... "

This group of pirates is the only embers left by the Qishan thieves.

After hearing the news that the two pirate kings came to Dongfan, Luo Wu and others gathered again and drove two sea boats to welcome them on the sea. Finally, they asked them to wait for Yan Qi and Liu Dan's gang.

When they attacked Zhangzhou, Luo Wu and others were in the team leading the way. Yan Qi and Liu Dan had no doubts about their identities... and they couldn't pretend. This group of Qishan thieves have been hiding back and forth in the outer seas of Fujian and Zhejiang. They were unable to get ashore. When the gust of wind was tight, they would be surrounded when they got ashore and they didn't even have a chance to hide.

They can only hide on desert islands outside the sea. I am afraid they have never eaten a grain of rice in the past few months. They are all catching sea birds, sea fish, consuming turtle eggs, and wild bird eggs.

They survived and were in a state of long-term hunger. They were already thin and their eyes were full of fierce light. If they delayed, these people would probably have to kill each other and eat each other's corpses.

"You group of soft eggs," Yan Qi's eyes showed fierce light. There were fifty or sixty thieves in Qishan, which were useful. He said to Luo Wu: "After a while, you will bring people ashore and form a formation at the dock first. If I don't make a sound, you will keep moving forward. Dare to stop and back down. I tie you up and throw you down to the sea to feed the sharks!"

Luo Wu knew that this was inevitable. What they wanted was to win this battle. If they were lucky, they would survive. After that, they would not have to worry about being caught and sentenced to Ming Zhengdian. If they were to live on the deserted island, they would be better than death than to have fun.

Luo Wu couldn't even give a favor. He had to fight for his life at this time. Everything was back.

Looking ahead, the sea water hits the white sand beach. There is a long pier at the pier. It stretches down the plains along the beach, and changes it to bricks and stones on the beach, and goes deep into the shallow sea water. This makes it easy to ask the ship to be parked and get off the cargo.

This is the dock of the Age of Discovery. Later generations seem to be very deserted, but it is a symbol of civilization at this time.

Of course there are more than one trestle bridges. There are more than a hundred trestle bridges in Quanzhou. There are also wooden trestle bridges, which are easier to build. They are used for boat docking and people from above and below, and do not bear cargo.

In addition, along the beach, stone foundations were built where the sea water hit, and carriages and carriage personnel walked along the stone foundations. The original large deserted beaches were not much left.

Further north and above are square brick and stone foundations. Large areas of brick and stone buildings show that this is a storage area for loading and loading goods. Inside, it is a slowly rising terrain. It seems that the avenue stretches across the north and south, and deeper and deeper, there are brick and stone buildings everywhere. The strange thing is that there are many buildings made of red bricks, which seem to be more than ten feet high. This is a very novel architectural model in the Great Wei and the South.

Luo Wu didn't know that it was the factory buildings of various factories built during the business operation of the Dongfan period. At that time, we had to build a dock and a shipyard, so the factory was also built in a plain area not far from the port. The roads were crisscrossed, and each path was integrated into the north-south official road. To the south was now the salt farm area, and to the north were the agricultural and pastoral areas and settlements. To the north were the Nan'an Houfu District, Houfu, military camp, upstream factories, pastoral areas, and roads to the central part were all located in the north of the road.

The north and south are connected to east and west, with an oval area of ​​more than 300 miles, more than one and a half million acres of arable land, nearly 100,000 residents and garrisons. This is the achievement of the Hou Mansion's operation so far.

Luo Wu had no intention of sighing. He and dozens of Qishan used leggings to tie his calves and tied his calves intact. It was common for shoes to fall off on the battlefield. They were very experienced and patient. It was evening, so they dragged them ashore for a while and got over that night before talking about it.

The pirates from Luzon also understood the plans of these Qizhou thieves and kept urging them.

Luo Wu and the others dared not resist, so they had to speed up and tie the wings, then took a horizontal knife or a ring-headed knife, with more than a dozen long scepters, without a divine arm bow, or a shield. They were thin, but after standing up, they still looked much taller than the Luzon thieves, who were completely different from these pirates. Although Luo Wu and others were displaced from deserted islands, they still had buns, and their bodies were taller than these Luzon thieves, and their skin was much whiter.

Among the Luzon thieves, there were very few Han people. The Wei people who became pirates overseas were usually followed by Wang Zhi and Kang Tianqi, rather than following the Luzon thieves or Pu Xingfeng.

These Luzon thieves were short and similar to the Japanese, but they didn't have that serious skewers. Their faces were ferocious, their skin was dark, their teeth were scattered, and their yellow teeth looked disgusting. Their hair was messy like straw. Many people directly shaved their hair with small knives, revealing their bald heads.

These people are extremely vicious, and Luo Wu and others are not good people, but staying with these people also feels like sheep entering the wolves.

They lowered the boat from the side, and each of them got off the boat from the climb, rowed the oars, and rowed towards the shore of the East Vanguard.

The offensive of the two Luzon thieves on the East Fan Island officially began at this moment.

Yan Qi saw the boat rowing and leaving, and then said, "The Wei people are not in the same position as us. If you capture the island, don't keep these people, kill them all, right?"

"If you can capture the island, you should keep them." Liu Dan said slowly: "We are the pioneers of Pu Xingfeng. In the future, we will attack cities and plunder the land in Wei territory and kill people blindly. Without the Wei people, we will not be able to last long. I know you like to kill people, but if Pu Xingfeng's major affairs are ruined, we will not be able to bear the relationship."

Yan Qi didn't say anything, but there was a clear violent aura in his eyes. Liu Dan knew that he would definitely start a massacre on the island. However, the Dongfan was a place of authority. No matter how many killings there were, Pu Xingfeng would not be dissatisfied. When the pirates first entered the Wei realm, they must kill more people. This is also what Pu Xingfeng had told him. However, the people who depended on him could not kill at will. This was also what Pu Xingfeng had told him.

Now the two thieves stopped talking and looked at the sea

The sky was the same color, and the red glow gradually decreased and disappeared under the sea level. The Qishan thieves on the boat had already stopped on the gentle beach and embraced and disembarked. They were in chaos, with their tips and horizontal swords shaking together, trembling and barely moving forward. The surroundings were silent, and there was no ambush hidden in the building or surroundings rushed out, killing all these Qishan thieves.

It seems that there is no intention to resist the enemy on this beach on Dongfan Island. Liu Dan and Yan Qi nodded together. Liu Dan said: "Look at tonight. If there is nothing wrong with the Wei people from Qishan who have entered again tomorrow morning, we will order to get off the ship and form a formation here."

Yan Qi didn't say anything, but just held the scimitar at his waist. This was given by Pu Xingfeng. The steel scimitar produced in Damascus was cut off. It was blown and the hair was broken. I don't know how many heads were cut. Some people said that there was a faint bloodline on the blade. The knife had become a fierce knife. Yan Qi was not angry when he heard this, but was very proud.

Now this giant thief has no other thoughts, only a desire to kill, and he can't wait until tomorrow.

...

In the evening, the martial law city of Fuzhou was silent, and only the updater could beat the drum and walk in the streets and alleys.

There were full armed soldiers waiting for the imperial guards everywhere, and there were more soldiers in the wings. Most of them were sleeping in the open air on the streets below the arrow towers on the city.

The treatment of the imperial guards is much better, including the city head, the hidden military cave, or the civilians near the city wall.

There are already quite a lot of garrison facilities on the top of the city, hanging houses, rolling wood, round stones, and setting up oil pans and preparing firewood.

However, everyone knows that this is superficial kung fu. Yesterday, pirates came in large numbers, and many small fishing boats in the coastal areas of Fuzhou were seen and they all returned.

Then the appeasement envoy Lin Douyao ordered the martial law in Fuzhou and closed the city gates tightly. At the same time, the Zhangzhou, Quanzhou and Xinghua troops were ordered to be martial law. The camp guards and river defense camp guards were all arranged in the previous arrangements, either stationed at the pass and river estuaries, or stationed at the city defense to assist the imperial guards in the garrison. If there is any slacking off, they will be held accountable after the war, and will be held accountable.

The imperial guards were divided into two parts, one was stationed in Fuzhou and the other was stationed in Quanzhou. These two places were the essence of Fujian Road. Originally, Zhangzhou was also very important, but Zhangzhou was once captured and the essence was completely destroyed. It was not half of its recovery for many years. At this time, the troops were insufficient, so they could only order the Xiang army to defend Zhangzhou, leaving the will of fate.

Fortunately, the news came back one after another, and Yan Qi and Liu Dan showed no signs of going to Fuzhou or Quanzhou. The large fleet was heading towards Penghu and Dongfan.

This was the same as the previous judgment, which made Lin Douyao breathe a sigh of relief.

Although if the Dongfan was captured, as the appeasement envoy of Fujian Road, the origin of the weak navy was not Lin Douyao's responsibility. If there was nothing wrong with Zhang, Quan and Fu, the court would basically not hold the charge accountable. At most, there were a few censors who would swear, but both governments and officials would ignore it, and Lin Douyao would not have any trouble.

The martial law remains the same, but the hearts of the people in the city are not panic. They are dark everywhere, and there are no one in the streets. The homes of nobles and wealthy businessmen are constantly playing and singing. You can still see these people's houses brightly lit up. With the vocal music, the fragrance of wine and dishes seems to be faintly heard.

As the censor of the palace, Yang Shiwei was the chief official of Fuzhou Prefecture and was also one of the Hongpao officials on Fujian Road. His status was only below Lin Douyao, and the other officials were only equal to him at most and could not be above him.

With such an identity, there is no need to come to the city at night, but Yang Shiwei has always been cautious as an official. Although the pirates were judged to be heading to the East Vanguard, Yang Shiwei still went to the city himself to inspect the city defense situation.

The imperial guards everywhere fell asleep peacefully, holding long scepters or horizontal swords in their arms. The officers pressed barrier swords or ritual swords with their hands and followed the palace to patrol the city.

The sound of the wine banquet coming from the city wall seemed to be in another world.

Yang Shiwei looked dry and his health was not good, but the situation in recent years was really unsatisfactory, which made him unwilling to resign at this time and could only support him.

Originally, he had a crush on Xu Zixian and had talked with King Qi many times. Both of them had a feeling that chaos was coming. If Fujian could maintain a stable chaos and had a strong army of tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 people, the chaos would be a part of the future, which would help the court to pacify Jinghu, southeast of Fujian and Zhejiang, and protect the southern land.

Fujian has unique benefits, with developed industry and commerce and prosperous trade. If it works with Guangzhou, Zhejiang and Guangzhou, it will account for more than half of the tax quota in the Wei Dynasty.

Of course, this was a forced plan. With the age and identity of King Qi and Yang Shiwei, I hope that the center can gradually recover and no longer have the chaos as it is now.

The situation discussed on that day seemed to be yesterday, and the King of Qi had been buried for a long time. When he thought of this, Yang Shiwei was also filled with sadness.

The night wind was quite fast. Although in summer, Yang Shiwei's servants still tied his cloak on him. When everyone walked to the east gate of the city, they happened to meet Zheng Liqi, a commander who was patrolling the city.
