Chapter 403: Search
Looking at the island where the jubilant sound came, Liu Dan said with a dark face and hatred: "Drill the boat tomorrow."
After waiting for two days, he fulfilled his ally's obligations. Liu Dan didn't want to stay for a moment in this ghost place.
His two thousand subordinates spent hundreds of thousands of stagnant coins to prepare armor, fine iron, provide food and drink, and train, but they were not the same enemy as the Nan'an Prefecture Army.
At that time, in the chaos army, Liu Dan saw the government army coming with his own eyes with a rainbow of momentum. There was no enemy in front of him. The government army started to move wildly, killing the enemy was like cutting melons and vegetables. However, they cooperated with each other. One fell down, and someone immediately made up for the position behind him without any hesitation or hesitation.
The entire war was only a few hundred people who fell and seriously injured the entire army, but they defeated several times the enemy until the pirates could not be included in the ranks and were completely defeated.
The next step is one-sided encirclement and massacre, and the government army has to pay a smaller price.
Liu Dan withdrew all the ships and soldiers surrounding Penghu. In the past two days, 1,566 people traveled across the sea and returned. In addition, thousands of people from Penghu, the people who stayed on the boat, and the sailors who had not arrived on the shore, added to one place, and there were only more than 6,000 people.
More than 30,000 people came in awe, and all the merchant ships along the way were avoiding the wind. There were no naval troops sent by the imperial courts of various countries on the coast of the Great Wei Dynasty and Japan on these waters. There was no enemy in the waters.
Even when he arrived outside Japan, Kang Tianqi sent someone to greet him. A Japanese daimyo sent an envoy to express his condolences and brought sake. The short man was respectful and it made people feel funny when he looked at it.
When they arrived at the border of the Great Wei Dynasty, there was no navy and the sea was empty. Liu Dan and Yan Qi felt that it was no different from those in the Siam area of Luzon. They were kings and well-deserved kings of the sea. The so-called court was just tigers on land. When they arrived at the sea, even the emperor of the Great Wei Dynasty could only watch them do whatever they wanted.
But no matter how proud the sea was, the thieves came to land, and the whole situation turned around.
Those pirates with ties were killed like chickens and dogs, and they had no power to fight back. Liu Dan's two thousand subordinates and Yan Qi's Zhajia Army were not enemies of the Nan'an Prefecture Army.
This is how the other party was, carrying the flag and holding the snare, which was quite fast, but also calmly came over. There was one person in front of them, and there were more and more people behind the formation. The long snare and shield players were allocated reasonably, and the archers used them quite properly. The arrows shot from the divine arm bow and the strong bow made the pirates blood flow into a river, without any power to fight back.
They rushed to the scene very resolutely. One person was killed or seriously injured. Someone immediately made up for it. The array was like a millstone, constantly grinding out the flesh and blood of the pirates and all their courage.
Before this, the pirates had never fought a war with such an opponent!
At this moment, when Liu Dan recalled the situation on the battlefield that day, he still couldn't help but tremble all over.
What is a serious soldier, what is a military commander, what is a tiger and wolf commander, and what is a serious warrior? Only after experiencing it on the battlefield of the Dongfan that day will you understand it.
He was powerless in his words, and only Liu Dan understood that he would not be able to say that he would not be able to say that he would not be able to return to the battlefield against the Nan'an Prefecture Army, even if he asked him to take 100,000 pirates, as long as there was no change in essence, he would not want to return to the battlefield against the Nan'an Prefecture Army.
His feeling was completely crushed. His sense of powerlessness was pressed to the ground and was ruthless and humiliated. He had no power to fight back. His majesty and casualness at the sea were gone. This was an indelible nightmare for Liu Dan, who was once invincible, had no opponents, and was only afraid of Pu Xingfeng alone.
It is estimated that within many years, he would not want to or dare to set foot on the territory of the Great Wei again.
After waiting for two days, all the subordinates were gathered, but only more than 6,000 people were left. If more than 300 ships were to be brought back, each ship was only about twenty people. For about 100 tons of ships, twenty people were enough, or even the limit was the limit, more than ten people would be fine.
However, from the East Fan to the Luzon area, sailors needed to take turns to rest in warships of about 300 to 500 tons. Twenty people per ship were definitely not enough. There were many pirates who were purely robbed and were not qualified sailors at all. By doing this, the manpower was even more difficult.
Liu Dan knew that he could only drill through some ships. The old small boats were the first batch, and then some medium-sized ships were probably going to sink about a hundred ships. Six thousand people returned with about two hundred ships. It was still quite empty. There were many winds and waves in the vast sea. No one, including pirates who have been on the sea for many years, dared not say that they could control the violent sea. An accident could happen at any time and could not take away more ships.
Moreover, Liu Dan also knew that this time the defeat had lost more than 20,000 people. Yan Qi was probably over. There was no news yet. All his hundreds of elite subordinates were over. Liu Dan's losses were also extremely heavy, and his confidant was almost dead.
The remaining problem now is that Liu Dan must control his subordinates well, prevent his subordinates from causing civil strife, and then suppress the ambitions around him to prevent the remaining troops from being eroded and annexed.
Even so, even if he received the support of Pu Xingfeng, Liu Dan understood that after returning, he would probably give up a considerable territory. His current prestige dropped to the bottom, and his strength was left in his hands. He would not be able to recover his vitality within at least three to five years. It is estimated that the best result is that Pu Xingfeng was thinking about his contributions and forcibly supporting his reputation and status as a pirate king. In a few years, he could recover to more than ten thousand people and have some confidants following him. This is the best result.
"Start with the old boat." It was almost evening, and you could still see the shore on the boat.
The people on the road are running and busy, like a group of ants.
Yesterday, a pirate saw Jingguan on a high place on the southern shore. Twenty thousand heads were placed together, which was really spectacular. If this was done by the pirates themselves, they would of course boast and be happy. At this moment, the heads of their partners were placed around them. Thinking about it, they also escaped from death. Many pirates vomited, even trembled and cried after seeing the capital.
Liu Dan had to order no longer sending ships to the south to search and rescue his hidden subordinates, and he was about to leave tomorrow.
The tide of the sea slapped the hull, and Liu Dan lay beside the boat and watched the situation on the shore for a while, then looked at the vast sea, and felt a little calmer.
In any case, there was no navy in the Great Wei Dynasty, and the navy in the Nan'an Marquis's Mansion was shackled in Penghu and did not dare to come out. It was no longer taken by Liu Dan to heart.
What he thought more now was that he hoped that more people would escape tomorrow, but Liu Dan also knew that there was little hope. It had been two days since fasting and water cuts, hunger urged people to cross the body to be physically and willful, they were hidden like mice, but because they would definitely die after being caught. If the Nan'an Marquis Mansion was willing to capture these people alive and not kill them, the hidden pirates would have surrendered together.
Everything was almost over. Thinking that his old friend Yan Qi, who had been with him for many years, might also be on the pile of Jingguan, Liu Dan suddenly wanted to laugh.
That guy was bloodthirsty and murderous, cruel and violent. What kind of expression did he look like when he was beheaded?
Liu Dan really wants to see it.
Unfortunately, there is no chance.
...
In the evening, fire soldiers everywhere lit the stove and began to cook food.
The food in the injured barracks is the most refined, but it is definitely not the appetite of those fighting men. It is mostly cooked fine porridge, which is easy to digest. The injured soldiers cannot eat big meat food.
How could those soldiers who fought for a hundred times bear it? Besides, each person gave a glass of wine today. Qin Dongyang announced for the lord that the pirates had not left and the time was still to be moved to celebrate. When the people who were evacuated came back, the marquis' mansion gave each family a pot of wine and a pound of meat to celebrate the repelling of the powerful enemy. After this disaster, the Dongfan was truly independent.
The soldiers of the government army, guards, officials, and the people all united as one, especially the people, who built long towers and prepared for war with bows and arrows. Although they did not participate in the war, they later shot and killed pirates who formed groups on the battlefield and searched for scattered pirates in fleeing and scattered pirates, and the people who worked very hard.
At this time, hundreds of fire soldiers were divided into various places, not only cooking for the soldiers of the government, but also cooking the food of the people. The fragrance drifted for more than ten miles, making everyone smile.
There was not much wine and a lot of meat. Even many minor wounded men held their arms tied up or crutches, moved out step by step to find their own army comrades, and everyone was chatting and laughing and waiting for the meal.
This time, Lu Wenluo killed Yan Qi and escorted Wang Xinyuan back to the island to cure the Nan'an Hou's illness. One was a great achievement of public war and the other was a private achievement of Nan'an Hou. In fact, it was considered a public official. If Nan'an Hou had not recovered, the outcome of the war would be unpredictable.
With such merit, everyone knew that Lu Wenluo would need to be promoted, but with the system of the government army, there was no precedent for the team leader to be promoted to the capital and even the battalion officials. Such promotion was too fast, and the government army emphasized the adjustment of the system, which was not good for the promoted person and the troops they controlled.
Lu Wenluo was rewarded with a large sum of money and entered the martial arts lecture school to study. After he came out, he became an intern, which was almost the same.
After Zhang Zhongde returned to the team, he joined the team to fight and did not report to the guards. His team leader was Lu Wenluo, and no one paid attention to it for the time being.
In this battle, Zhang Zhongde killed several people and beheaded three levels, making contributions. Lu Wenluo asked him to rest assured and would declare his contributions from now on, so that he could stay in the palace army.
People were making excuses, Lin Fengshan and Zhou Huaiyong pressed Lu Wenluo on their bodies and smiled and said, "After the reward, everyone in this team has a share, each of them has a ten-point trump sum. Should you do it?"
"I have to buy a yard in Dongfan, build furniture, and also have to buy gold and silver faces, prepare a bride price to say goodbye. Calculate at least one or two hundred coins. Who knows how much is the best reward for the superior? I'm afraid I'll be poor if I'm going to be poor."
"Fuck." Zhou Huaiyong and Lin Fengshan could only hold Lu Wenluo down. In fact, Lu Wenluo didn't try his best too seriously. At that moment, the two of them laughed and scolded: "Just just cure the Lord and invite Mr. Wang, you will at least reward Qianguan. Are you an ordinary person who is an important person? Is this great achievement not as good as Qianguan?"
Lu Wenluo smiled and said, "You bastards, the eight of us do this, can you lose the reward if you have a heavy reward?"
"No matter what, you must have won the most. If you kill Yan Qi, you will also receive a reward."
Everyone laughed and scolded. At least Lu Wenluo promised to share the five-chariot with each person, but everyone didn't take it seriously. He immediately let the team leader go. When the wine and food were delivered, everyone rushed over cheerfully. Before eating meat, they took a glass of wine for each person. Everyone clinked glasses, and then smiled and drank the wine.
Everyone sat cross-legged on the ground. As soon as the battle ended, blood was still everywhere at the port of the wharf. In the past two days, Minzhuang began to shovel up the blood-soaked soil and cover it up to eliminate the traces.
There were also many people watching the ships on the sea. Since the pirates had not left, the security level was still very high. Each person gave him a glass of wine. Many people drank all their necks as soon as they were tilted. There was no feeling at all, and Lu Wenluo kept licking his mouth.
After a while, Lu Wenluo saw someone riding a horse in the north. He and the entire flag team had received orders. In the past two days, craftsmen and technicians and officials rushed over. The government troops dispatched all the troops to allocate the horses.
The craftsmen and officials were going to the central part of the country, which had been explored by iron ore and coal mines for a long time. The next step was to determine the distance and prepare to build a simple port terminal, transport tools and personnel went over, and began to build roads and build bases and houses.
Everyone in the team knew that they would go to the fore, but everyone had no objection. The government army was not the kind of arrogant soldiers who were complacent after winning the battle. In fact, the military officers were already starting to beat the soldiers.
The remaining government troops trained as usual, guarded the beaches and ports, guarded the barracks and ranches, and there were still quite a lot of government soldiers. They cooperated with the cavalry camp and the civilians to continue to search for mountains and seas and search for those pirates who had not been arrested.
Today I sent more than 300 heads to Jingguan. I guess there are not many pirates who are still running for their lives. In the hot weather, the water source is under control. No one can easily drink water. In just two days, these guys will die of dehydration.
In fact, in the past two days, many pirates risked their lives to the stream and were killed by the soldiers of the government troops who had prepared themselves one by one. They were exhausted, hungry and thirsty, and they did not even have the ability to resist when they were killed.
"The Dongfan will be better." Looking at the sunset, Lu Wenluo licked his lips again and said sincerely: "We, the soldiers of the government, and the families of everyone, will be better."
...
In the middle of the night, Li Guozhu and the Huang family's father-in-law were still searching for the seaside.
They patrol the port of Nan'anxi to Huaxi, and the distance they had given them was about ten miles away. They had to follow the beach to a depth of two miles on the shore, carefully searching for the shrubs and sparse forests, and some small buildings.
There are several small streams along the way. In the south of the Dongfan, there are more than 20 named streams of all sizes. Some gather in the large streams to go out to sea, and some have separate estuaries. Now each stream is guarded by Min Zhuang, the government army and the guards. Even if the fleeing pirates are thirsty, they dare not go to the stream to drink water.
It was noon yesterday, and the weather was extremely hot, and even sitting under the big tree and blowing the sea breeze made people sweat.
This is the case in the south of the Dongfan. It is extremely hot. The middle part is much better. It won’t make people feel too hot in summer and it is very warm in winter.
Li Guozhu had heard of this, and he had also been to the central part of the city with the officials. However, compared to the desolate, he still liked the south part of the development process, where he had just entered the central part of the development process. There were large areas of flat land that had been opened. There were always fish to catch in the streams everywhere. The stream water was clear and sweet. No matter how hot it was, wash your face and drink it.
Li Guozhu did not sympathize with the pirates who couldn't even drink saliva. His sympathy was not that rampant, and he even had pleasure.
These guys are good to die of thirst, and the final result must be captured. They were not shot to death while drinking water in the stream, then chopped off their heads and threw them to Jingguan, or they were stabbed to death by long swords. Some pirates would even die at the hands of the indigenous people. I heard that the indigenous people were mobilized, so the Nan'an Marquis Mansion sent several officials to meet with the heads of various communities and asked them to send strong men to search in the mountains and hilly areas without entering the buffer zone, which is the outer guard line of the official road. As long as pirates enter and are successfully searched by the indigenous people, each indigenous community will get one stone of food.
This is a naked temptation, and no indigenous tribe leader would refuse.
Li Guozhu, Huang Laozhe, and He Baihuo's family led the more than 200 households under the 2100 households. In addition, there were a mail of the government troops and a mail of the guards, and more than 300 people formed a long line. Almost everyone had torches in their hands. Everyone did not look at the sea surface, nor did they look at the reefs or coastlines in the steep terrain. If the pirates dived there, they would jump into the sea regardless of life and death. Even if they swam on the boat, they would drown if they could not swim.
In the past few days, many pirate corpses have appeared on the sea. Now they can only ignore them. There are small boats on the island, but there are not many, and they cannot go to the sea to take risks. Now the pirates on the sea must be full of anger. Seeing the boat is like sharks, they may be attacking in groups.
Li Guozhu was in a good mood. The people who participated in the search team had a firearm to provide food. He gave him a duck leg and steamed one pound of rice. He usually didn't have to eat so much for dinner. Even when he was not a refugee, Li Guozhu farmed in Zhangzhou and did not do anything at night. People would move the small table out to eat at dusk. They finished it before dark and would not eat a lot, because they went to bed shortly after dark.
When men do heavy work, they usually become the best and most full person in the busy farming process. Even the elderly and children must be given to the men in charge first. This is not machismoism or not pitying young people or disrespecting the elderly, but rather a pressure to consider for survival. If men do not eat enough, who will do those heavy farm work? Are women and children?
In this era, those modern standards cannot be covered.
Li Guozhu rarely eats so much at night. When he first finished eating, he felt heavy and uncomfortable. However, when he was late at night, he understood why he gave everyone so much food.
For more than two consecutive hours, the members of the search team patroled and walked back and forth on the seashore and on the shore like a grate. During this period, they used to drag two pirates out of the bushes with torches. Their lips were already chapped, confused, and in a semi-coma.
Several government troops came over and asked their names briefly. After knowing that it was not Liu Dan, they beheaded the two of them directly.
