386 Battle at Sea!

Jiang Wan's wooden temperament made Liu Yan jump to her feet, but his answer made Liu Yan very happy. He said, "Why does the princess only want to exchange one for one? As for the problem of easy folding of war horses, you can send an experienced veterinarian through Guò, or ask a local veterinarian to escort it, as long as the price is in place, there is no business that cannot be negotiated.

As soon as this concept came out, Liu Yan thought for a moment that it was Mi Zhu and not Jiang Wan sitting opposite. Is this the truth that Jiang Wan, who is honest and straightforward, can say? Could it be that he is the wooden brain, with only one tendon?

With Jiang Wan's prompt, Liu Yan's thinking has broadened a lot. I also consulted Mi Zhu, a professional. Mi Zhu thus taught her many business skills, such as strange goods to live in, asking for money to sit on the ground and pay back. made Liu Yan's eyes light up, it turned out that the reason why businessmen were named profiteers really didn't wronged them.

The maritime trade ties between Jingzhou and Liaodong were established, and after two dealings, Gongsun Kang also had a vague impression of the princess Liu Yan who was far away in Jingzhou, and felt that all women could have the courage to be far-sighted, why could they only shrink here, look at the faces of the Youzhou garrison, and live with a snort?

The establishment of this sea passage has made Jiaozhou Shishi also gain infinite benefits. Originally, Jiaozhou was located in a remote area, and there was an endless sea outside, and few people cared about it. However, with this maritime trade route, the situation is very different. Around the port base provided by Shishi to Jingzhou free of charge, a series of industrial chains have been formed, and the associated fishery has also flourished.

In order to protect her own interests, Liu Yan made a lot of efforts, specially built the passage from Guiyang to Jiaozhou Linhai, spent a lot of money, and thus obtained endless benefits, Jiaozhou's jewelry, minerals, and salt. Dutong guò is a continuous stream of roads to Jingzhou. At the same time, grain, cloth and other daily necessities from Jingzhou were also sent to Jiaozhou through this route.

The merchants of Jingzhou have benefited a lot from this, and the people of Jiaozhou are simple and simple, and there are many things with national characteristics, and there are many ways to make money. As long as there are businessmen willing to enter Jiaozhou, business opportunities are everywhere.

Jiaozhou has eaten a lot of sweetness because of this trade route, and its dependence on Jingzhou has become deeper. On the other hand, the relationship with the Jiangdong Sun family gradually faded.

Sun Quan didn't feel anything at first, but after seeing that after the autumn harvest, the former wronged leaders stopped coming to buy grain, which aroused Sun Quan's suspicions. The plan to sell grain at 10 times or 20 times the price and make a fortune to support military construction has come to naught this year, which made Sun Quan feel very uncomfortable. What happened to this fool this year? He didn't care about the lives of the people? He was inhabited by a hundred Yue, and if he rebelled because of hunger, it would undoubtedly be a catastrophe! Could it be that the Shi clan had fallen?

Thinking of this, Sun Quan came back to his strength. If the Shi clan falls, can he take the opportunity to take the waterway to kill the past and attack and occupy it? Since the Jiangdong Navy lost its Jiangxia stronghold to Gan Ning, it has been shrinking and holding its breath for a long time, and he can no longer find a chance to raise his eyebrows and be ashamed, he feels that the name of the No. 1 Jiangdong Navy is about to change hands!

Coupled with Zhou Yu's injury, Cheng Pu Handang's death is inevitably related to Liu Yan, which makes Sun Quan hate Liu Yan even more, and now with Cao Cao's secret support, Sun Quan's arrogance is not revealed, but there is a faint trend of blowout.

The defection of the Jiaozhou Shi clan undoubtedly became the fuse for Sun Quan's outbreak. When Jiangdong's spies told Sun Quan about the qiē he saw in Jiaozhou, Sun Quan did not review the previous fraud of the Shi clan too ruthlessly, but blamed Liu Yan for snatching his cash cow, and his anger finally broke out, and with a wave of his hand, he sent Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Zhu Ran, and Zhu Zhi to lead a naval army of 10,000, and did not take the Yangtze River waterway, deliberately avoided Ganning, and rushed directly to Jiaozhou Linhai from the sea, and Liu Yan established a trading port there.

Poor Sun Quan didn't know that there was an essential difference between a sea ship and an inland sailing ship, and if they used an inland ship to go to sea, they would be looking for death! As soon as the 10,000 sailors arrived at sea, they were already dizzy by the waves and the inexplicably sudden weather conditions on the sea before they left the Jiangdong boundary.

Swimming in the sea and swimming in fresh water are not the same thing, the sea water is bitter, not only can not have the slightest choking in the water, but even the eyes are very uncomfortable. People who didn't grow up by the sea couldn't adapt at all, so before they left Jiangdong, 10,000 soldiers could lose as much as one-fifth.

Finally, the soldiers survived the sea sickness, the lack of fresh water, the sun on the sea and various uncomfortable symptoms, and drove on the right course, and more than half of the 10,000 people were cut.

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai have also been anxious these days, the two of them were relied on by Zhu Ran and Zhu Zhi because of their rich experience in water combat, and as a result, the two of them were dumbfounded as soon as they went to sea, and the two of them were in a hurry because of the situation that would not occur in various inland rivers at all. However, the two of them were very convinced that the experience they had accumulated in the inland rivers was useful, and they made the mistake of empiricism, and the troops suffered heavy losses. If you encounter strong resistance again, will you not suffer on the contrary?

The four of them are panicked now, but when things come to this point, it is impossible to turn the bow of the ship and go back, lose half of it when it comes, and lose the other half when it goes back, that is to say, if you go back at this time, you don't have to fight, and all 10,000 people will be reimbursed in the sea voyage.

When they finally saw a place where they could go ashore, the people who thought they had been saved were so dizzy by the sea breeze that they forgot to take off their flags, and were found by the fishermen who went out to fish. The fishermen don't know anything else, but they can still tell the difference between the presence of troops at sea. They didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly came back to report to the person in charge of the trade port, this person named Yang Huai was originally a capable general under Gan Ning, and now Gan Ning has been promoted to general, and he has become a captain.

It's just that Yang Huai doesn't have a decent navy in his hands now, only more than 100 staff members who maintain order and some locally recruited fishermen, so he can't be called a military at all.

Yang Huai's face was extremely ugly when he received the report, and he never imagined that the maritime trade that he had thought would be able to conceal Sun Quan's maritime trade would be exposed so quickly! In the face of the fierce attack of the Jiangdong naval army, there were only some fishermen and staff members on his side, and there was no army at all, so what could he do to fight! No! He must use all means to prevent the other party from going ashore! Otherwise, the inland will be full of unarmed fishermen and ordinary people, and if this army lands on the shore, it will definitely cause a one-sided massacre!

Yang Huai gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and immediately organized personnel to arm. The first line of defense is to use the abundant reef resources along the coast to induce Jiangdong ships to run aground and sink. The second line of defense is to organize a water-based and superb descent into the sea and manually scuttle the opponent's ships. In short, exhaust all the methods, there is only one purpose, to prevent the Jiangdong Navy from landing!

As a result, a battle with a huge disparity in power began, and the tragic Cheng Dù could have foreseen that the Jiangdong Navy was also willing to go ashore in order to survive, and he would land at the cost of his life.

And the defense of Yang Huai's organization is even more united, using the resources that can be used to attack the enemy, but the proportion of personnel is really huge, and a massacre is about to be inevitable. The hot blood stained the beach red, and Yang Huai's one eye was also blinded by Jiang Qin, but he still insisted on resisting. The fishermen also knew who was the aggressor and who was the enemy, so they fought bravely. Seeing that the defense line had repeatedly retreated, and the enemy would land in the future, Yang Huai was already desperate in his heart, and was about to apologize with death, when suddenly the sound of the horn came from the sea, which was different from the horn of the horn of the land battle, this was the sound of the conch horn that only existed on the sea.

Zhu Ran had already killed the fishermen at this time, and landed on the shore to prepare for a big killing, when he suddenly heard the sound of the horn, and the moment he turned his head in shock, a sharp arrow went straight to his throat and hit the target with a snort, and Zhu Ran fell to the ground in response.

This arrow came too timely, and Yang Huai almost howled and said, "Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming!" After speaking, he threw himself in the direction of the enemy Jiang Qin, regardless of his life.

Jiang Qin was already at the end of the crossbow at this time, he originally thought that he was in the hands of the victory, but he was still a trapped beast at this time, knowing that he would definitely not survive, so he worked harder, killing one was enough, killing two to earn one, seeing Yang Huai, who had only one eye left, rushing in his direction, he was not afraid, and after slashing a fisherman with his backhand, he hooked his fingers defiantly with a bloody knife towards Yang Huai.

Where could Yang Huai stand such a provocation, he pounced like a wounded tiger, slashing at Jiang Qin one after another, one knife after another. On the other side, the archer who wanted to rescue Yang Huai was stunned, this, this is crazy! These two people twisted together, he didn't dare to shoot arrows!

At this time, there were reinforcements standing on the ship commanding the battle situation, and it was none other general of Gan Ning, who was sent to find Zhang Shun in Yizhou. Zhang Shun and Yang Huai are both Gan Ning's generals, and they usually have a good personal relationship, which is why Zhang Shun is here today.

He knew that Yang Huai had been sent here to maintain law and order, and he had just completed his mission and was about to report back. Stop by here to see old friends. Unexpectedly, he encountered such a scene before he got close, which made him immediately red-eyed, and he didn't even know where the enemy came from, so he ordered an attack and killed him!

At this time, seeing that his old friend was in danger, he jumped off the boat even more desperately, and pounced on the battle group half-swim and half-run, helping Yang Huai fight Jiang Qin! Because of Zhang Shun's joining, Yang Huai's pressure was less, but Jiang Qin's pressure was greater, and he had not replenished fresh water for many days and various marine symptoms, his state was already much worse than before, and the strength he had grown just now because of the fight for his life had been almost consumed at this time. After more than a dozen rounds, he was overturned by Zhang Shun. In order to take revenge, Yang Huai went directly up to poke him blind and chop off his hands, and then rewarded him with a knife and sent him on his way.

Zhou Tai, who was also in despair on the side, saw Jiang Qin's miserable appearance, and fell to his knees directly: "I, I surrender! I surrender! Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

As soon as he shouted, the remaining Jiangdong soldiers who wanted to live threw their weapons and fell to the ground, and a battle ended. The surrendered soldiers were stripped naked, hung from their hands and feet tied on the beach, and were subjected to "sunburning" after three days of exposure before being detained by local fishermen, and then locked up in a makeshift prison at the trade port, awaiting the joint trial of Jiaozhou Shishi and Liu Yan.

Zhou Tai, who surrendered, and Yang Huai, who was wounded, were taken back to Changsha by Zhang Shun, Yang Huai stayed in Changsha to recuperate, and Zhou Tai was escorted all the way to Xiangyang. Liu Yan didn't understand why Zhou Tai became a prisoner of his own side at first, but Zhou Tai didn't dare to hide it when he asked, one is one and two is two, Liu Yan suddenly became angry, so you shameless Sun Quan dared to bully me like this!

She didn't say a word, but sent a handwritten letter to Gan Ning, ordering him to use the new warship that had just been assembled with a naval army to organize a special attack team to rush to the opposite side to kill, without specific target requirements, only to break through the opponent's water village, and go to his coastal cities to burn and loot, since he can be a pirate for the sake of profit, then what are we polite to them! Fight! Beat them until their hearts bleed! As for the captured Zhou Tai, they were also thrown to Gan Ning for disposal, and it was up to Gan Ning to kill or stay.

For the injured Yang Huai, Liu Yan gave very generous condolences, not only asked Chen Zhen to give care and the best treatment, but also gave rich financial condolences, took his wife and children to Changsha, placed them, reunited their family, and let Yang Huai recuperate with peace of mind.

As for the trading port in Jiaozhou, Liu Yan didn't want to give up. After obtaining the consent of the Shi clan, the 5,000 foot soldiers transferred by Lingling and Guiyang respectively and the 2,000 sailors transferred by Jiangxia went directly to the trading port, and the trading port was directly transformed into a military port for quasi-military management. In addition, under the order of the Shi clan, 2,000 people were directly recruited in the local area to form the Jiaozhou Navy to assist in coastal defense matters. The training and management of this army were all under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhou Naval Army.

In this way, Liu Yan has his own military base in Jiaozhou, plus Ma Liang's office in Cangwu, Liu Yan feels that if this Wen Yiwu can be integrated, it will be no problem to annex Jiaozhou.

It's just that of course she won't do it now, no one knows Jiaozhou better than Shishi, and no one is more suitable to manage Jiaozhou than Shishi. With them taking care of Liu Yan's affairs, it is equivalent to hiring a state pastor for nothing, and there is no need to pay a salary, let alone fear that he will turn against the water, so why not?

On the other hand, Gan Ning received Liu Yan's urgent letter and learned that Jiangdong had attacked the trading port of Jiaozhou and killed many fishermen and his own soldiers, so he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and decided to go out in person to let Sun Quan know the consequences of angering him!
