Chapter 878 The Confrontation End

Go to the North Ring Road.

The pirates on the Northern Ring Road Island who had already received the letter were ready, and thousands of people were waiting for the battle as they looked at the sea warships that were coming through the waves.

The King of the North Ring Knife, Liu Xi, paused his long sword, pressed his hands on the hilt of the knife, and his clothes rose with the sea breeze.

Although there were more than twenty naval warships and were carrying the Song army flag, it was not enough for him to escape from Liu Xi to look at the wind.

It has been nearly half a year since Zhao Dongting conquered Liu Xikuang on Crescent Island. In the past six months, Liu Xikuang, who had originally looked down on the other pirates on the sea, has conquered all the pirate forces on the island and firmly held the position of the King of Beidao. There are thousands of elite pirates under his command, and he is confident that the Song army can't afford to eat him.

Many hidden stakes have been arranged in the reef group outside the island, just under the water. If these Song Dynasty warships dare to attack the island, they will first have to suffer some secret losses.

At this time, more than twenty sea warships were docking outside the reef group.

A small boat was put down on the Qiantouhai warship.

Several soldiers rowed near the island.

A one-armed general stood at the bow of the boat, and after passing through the reefs, the boat stopped more than ten meters away from the island shore.

Liu Hongyi looked up at the pirates on the island and shouted, "Is Liu Xikuang here?"

Liu Xikuang was slightly stunned, but then he ran his internal energy and shouted, "Who will come?"

An arrow shot to the island.

Liu Hongyi said: "According to the order of my son, come to contact King Liu Dao."

"Hao!"

The arrows were shot into a big tree on the island, and the arrow feathers were still trembling and buzzing.

This military-industrial longbow is not comparable to that of folk bows and arrows.

Some pirates intentionally or unintentionally hid the shoddy bows and arrows in their hands behind them.

"Chief, there is a letter on the arrow."

Some people also noticed a letter tied to the back of the arrow.

Liu Xi looked over, then saw Liu Hongyi laughing lightly, and was slightly stunned, "Cook it."

Some pirates ran away happily.

"Hao!"

Only by using a lot of effort can I pull the arrow out of the tree trunk and run back to Liu Xikuang.

Liu Xikuang took off the letter, threw away the arrow, looked down at the letter, and then suddenly looked at Liu Hongyi standing on the bow of the ship, "Please comfort the envoy to land on the island!"

There was an unconcealed surprise on his face.

The letter was a secret letter written by Zhao Dongting himself.

Liu Xikuang, you are already loyal to me on Crescent Island. I have sent General Liu Hongyi, the pacifier of Guangnan West Road to the island. You should cooperate with the reunion. I intend to include the Dongsha Islands in the territory of the Song Dynasty as the center of the trade of the Holy Dynasty. General Liu will help you build the southern and northern islands and provide you with food and salary. In the future, you will be the general manager of the two islands. You will leave two thousand pirates under your command as the island guards, and all the rest will be dismissed for the people. If you do not follow, you will deal with it yourself.

Liu Xikuang had already speculated Zhao Dongting's identity very highly, thinking that he was a child of a super martial arts family, but he never dared to think that Zhao Dongting would be the current emperor.

The power of the Song Dynasty has now been achieved, but no one can ignore it or ignore it like before. It has become a tree in the sky.

No wonder, no wonder there are so many peerless masters around him.

The more Liu Xi thought about it, the more ecstatic he felt.

He probably never thought that he would have the day to be recruited and transformed from a pirate into an official.

Although I don’t know what rank the so-called envoy general is, he will be the well-deserved leader of the two islands around the south and north in the future.

The emperor's letter was very clear. Liu's pacifier would only help him build the island, and would not seize his power.

In the future, with the Song Dynasty as its backer, Liu Xikuang's life would not be much better than before?

Liu Xikuang's vision is beyond the reach of ordinary pirates. He could imagine how wealth would be in the future as the Dongsha Islands as the Liuqiu and the Holy Dynasty trade center.

He no longer has to take his brothers to rob him everywhere, and he is always worried that the officers and soldiers will come to encircle and suppress him.

He finally understood why when the emperor just subdued him, he could say so confidently that he and Hong Niangzi's subordinates would live a life of food and clothing without worries. They alone would definitely not be able to build the Dongsha Islands into a trade center, but the Song Dynasty court undoubtedly had this foundation and strength.

Liu Hongyi brought only a few soldiers to the island.

The big ship was still parked outside the reef group.

Liu Xikuang was kind-hearted and went up to meet him personally, bowing to Liu Hongyi, "Liu Xikuang has seen Liu Anfu."

Liu Hongyi smiled softly, "I don't need to be polite."

Of course, he looked down on pirates like Liu Xikuang, and he could even be said to be extremely disgusted. It is not an exaggeration to say that he hated him, but what Zhao Dongting said before changed his view.

Zhao Dongting said that the reason why pirates are thieves is not because they like burning, killing, looting, but because they don’t have enough food to eat, so they have to do these things. After taking over the Dongsha Islands, the people on the island can have a full meal. In the future, the Holy Dynasty will be near the sea to eliminate the disaster of pirates. Suppressing bandits has always been a treatment of the symptoms but not the root cause, and everyone in the world has food to eat is the root cause.

Liu Hongyi agreed with this sentence.

Therefore, he let go of his hatred for the pirates in his heart.

He also understood that there were many pirates, who were actually residents of the island. These people were indeed forced to make a living, as the emperor said.

The pirates behind them all looked at Liu Xikuang with confusion, wondering why Liu Xikuang suddenly became so polite with the comforting commander of Guangnan West Road.

Liu Xikuang exchanged a few greetings, and looked at the more than twenty large ships on the sea.

Liu Hongyi knew his meaning and turned around and smiled, "Food, gold, silver, cloth and weapons are all on the boat. King Liu Dao can let the brothers move it down now."

"Brothers!"

Liu Xi was ecstatic, "The court sent us gold, silver and food to us, and we wanted to live a peaceful life. We all brought things to me on the boat!"

The pirates were even more confused.

A pirate leader ran to Liu Xikuang, looked at Liu Hongyi, and asked, "Captain, what's going on?"

No wonder they were confused. As pirate leaders, Liu Xikuang had a great chat with the pacifier of Guang'an West Road in the Great Song Dynasty. This was a very strange thing.

But at this time, no one dared to speak ill of Liu Hongyi, although many of these pirates died under the encirclement of officers and soldiers. This is because Liu Hongyi has established absolute prestige on the island.

Since Zhao Dongting left the Dongsha Islands, he and Hong Niangzi have each begun the road to conquest.

The pirate forces in the entire Dongsha Islands have already tasted the consequences.
