Jiangzhou is located in the northeast of Jianghuai, only four to five hundred miles away from Jianghuai. The two set out at the first watch and arrived at the boundary of Jiangzhou before the third watch.

The Tang Dynasty was divided into fifteen provinces, which governed more than 350 states. According to their location and population, the states were divided into three categories: Shangzhou, Zhongzhou and Xiazhou. The population of Xiazhou was smaller, and

The terrain is relatively remote, and Jiangzhou is located on the seaside.

The two of them had agreed with Datou and others to meet at Jiangzhou Pier. Although they had never been to Jiangzhou, Jiangzhou was only so big in total, and since it was a wharf, it was naturally built on the seaside, so it was not easy to find them.

difficulty.

When the two arrived at the dock, a large amount of rice, grain and sundries had already accumulated on the dock. Even though it was midnight, the dock was still brightly lit. Some people were busy carrying grain and grass down from the carriages, while others were busy clearing the dock.

Expanding to deep water, Jiangzhou's wharf is too small, and ships that are too big cannot dock. If you want to load supplies onto the ship, you can only extend the wharf deeper.

Da Tou was currently shouting and ordering the civilian workers to unload the truck. When he saw Yang Kai and Yang Kai arriving, he immediately put down what he was doing and hurriedly greeted him, "Your Majesty, did the trip go well?"

"Okay," he looked around, "how are you preparing?"

There were many people on the pier, but Datou did not answer immediately. Instead, he led the two of them to a secluded place. "Everything on your list is ready. The boatman and the boss of the boat have also been invited. There is another one at the pier."

It can be completed in a matter of hours, and you can start at any time." .??.

After nodding, he asked casually, "Has the imperial court sent me the maritime map of the East China Sea that I requested from the Ministry of Rites?"

Hearing the words, Datou immediately reached into his arms, took out a repeatedly folded map and handed it over with both hands, "I just arrived this evening."

"You put it away first," he waved his hand, then asked, "Where are the two of them?"

Datou put away the maritime map and pointed to the northwest of the pier.

Xiang's woods, "I'm watching from a distance."

"Call them over. Without further ado, let's start tonight." He said.

Datou nodded and waved in the distance. Not long after, Yu Yi and Shi Xuanming arrived with their horses.

As the ancients said, everything will be done if it is not planned, and if it is not planned, it will be ruined. Although we have made a detailed plan before, we still need to sort it out carefully before actually taking action.

This time, the troops needed to be divided into two groups. Datou rode a golden eagle alone, carrying ten jars of tung oil mixed with spurge. spurge is a highly poisonous thing, and the smoke from burning is also highly toxic, and tung oil is thick and flammable.

, when the two are mixed, they will burn violently and emit poisonous mist. Datou set out an hour later than everyone else, carrying ten jars of tung oil and rushing to Qilin Town.

Datou had been to Qilin Town before and knew the specific location. After rushing to the sky above Qilin Town, Datou ignited the tung oil and threw it from a high place. It would be best if he could burn down the Japanese pirates' lair. Even if he couldn't, he would still have to make the enemy panic.

.

After dumping the tung oil, Da Tou immediately turned around and returned to Jiangzhou Pier, urging the people to finish all the unfinished business, and then waited for everyone to dock in the boat and then instruct the boatmen and sailors to carry provisions of rice and grain to the boat.

The purpose of Datou's sneak attack was to distract the Japanese pirates by attacking in the east and west. Otherwise, after discovering the accident on the beach, the Japanese pirates would probably send out all their troops to reinforce.

The four of them rushed directly to the Jianghuai Pier. Since none of them knew how to sail, they had to bring the boss and second officer with them on this trip.

It's not enough to have a boat captain and a second-hand man, you also need boatmen. For a big ship that can sail across the ocean, there are dozens of boatmen just for rowing and rowing. We have already hired the boatmen ourselves.

But these people could not rush to Jianghuai with the four people.

Therefore, if you want to drive the big ship back, you must grab some soldiers from the dock to serve as boatmen. These soldiers may not be as skilled as the boatmen, but with the boss of the ship and the second-in-command command, there should be no problem in rowing a few hundred miles.

After taking action, Yang Kai, Yu Yi, and Shi Xuanming were responsible for capturing the soldiers and driving away the ship. They were responsible for burning the other two ships. In addition, they had to deal with enemy masters who might appear at any time.

Arrangements were made, and the four of them set off first, accompanied by a father and son. The father was the boss of the ship, and the son was the second in command. The so-called second in command was actually the deputy of the boss in the ship. If an accident happened to the boss of the ship, the second in command could also take over his duties.

Datou is very thoughtful and thoughtful, so he did this thing very beautifully. It is the safest way to find a father and son. As the saying goes, father and son are connected. They are both on the boat. The father will definitely not let his son get involved.

It is dangerous, and the son will definitely not allow his father to never return.

Shi Xuanming rode with the captain of the boat, carrying the weak-headed young man. They set off overnight and headed straight to the Jianghuai Sea.

Since they had explored the road before, they were familiar with it this time. The group of people rode horses in the dark, galloping wildly, and finally arrived at the seaside pier before the fifth watch.

Most people think that the second watch and the third watch are the times when people sleep the deepest, but this is not the case. People sleep the deepest at dawn, and as the sky gets brighter, people tend to neglect their precautions.

Qilin Town is only two to three hundred miles away from the seaside. From the seaside, you can clearly see the light of fire appearing in the direction of Qilin Town. When the firelight appeared, everyone immediately took action. Yu Yi and three people took the boat boss and Erbangshi to board the place they selected.

A big ship.

When they discovered that someone was robbing the ship, the soldiers responsible for guarding the ship immediately rushed to block the interception. Yu Yi and others did not refuse the comers and captured them but did not kill them.

, dozens of people were captured in a matter of seconds.

Although there were only Yang Kai, Yu Yi, and Shi Xuanming on our side, and there were thirty or forty captured soldiers, these soldiers did not try to resist in groups, but got into the cabin obediently, and under the command of the boss of the ship,

Row the oars to start the boat.

In fact, these soldiers are fully capable of resisting, or at least they can escape separately, and it is impossible for Yang Kai and the other three to kill them all, but they are unwilling to be the first ones. Greed for life and fear of death is only one of the reasons, and the main reason is that they

I don’t want others to take advantage of me, and the thoughts deep down in my heart are surprisingly similar. How come I am unlucky when I get ahead, but you silently benefit?

When Yang Kai and others were robbing the ships and taking people, they boarded two other large ships and activated the pure Yang spiritual energy to set fires everywhere. It seemed that they were setting fires randomly, but in fact they were carefully considered. He set fire to the ships not because he was afraid of Japanese pirates boarding them.

To chase, you have to give the impression that you don’t want the other party to catch up by boat. In fact, deep down in your heart, you want the Japanese pirates to catch up by boat. If all the Japanese pirates’ boats are burned down this time, even if the Japanese pirates want to return to rescue, there will be no boats available.

Already.

The fire had to be set, but at the same time, the Japanese pirates could not see that they were merciful. It was difficult to show their determination without actually damaging the ship, but they came up with an extremely clever way.

These three large ships are all similar in style and size. Except for the one we captured, one of the other two ships set fire to the bow and the other set fire to the stern. Those who burned the masts did not burn the cabins, and those who burned the cabins did not burn the masts. In this way

When you come to the Japanese pirates, you can put out the fire and merge the two broken ships into one in the shortest possible time.

Seeing that everyone on his side had led the horses onto the deck and sailed away from the shore, he stopped setting fire, jumped up in the air, and landed on the big ship he had robbed.
Chapter completed!
