In Cai Ji's view, being able to convince Tai Shici to support the tributary robbery ship was tantamount to a big step towards success. Therefore, she immediately struck while the iron was hot and told Tai Shi Ci that Brother Ziyi, and after a night of contemplation, Guan Cheng should have figured it out now. Why don't you bring it up and interrogate it, how strong are the pirates? ”

Tai Shici also felt that it made sense when he heard Cai Ji say this. After all, the matter of robbing the tribute ship is very important, and it is not like fighting pirates this time, and you can win lightly with a small trick. The true strength of the pirates, when the Samhan tribute ships departed, the garrison of the tribute ships, and the sailing routes are all information that needs to be known urgently. Tai Shi Ci is a person who will go all out once he makes up his mind, so he should even hug Cai Ji with his fist. Ci is going to mention people. ”

After that, Tai Shici got up and said goodbye and left the study. And Cai Ji also plans to take advantage of this gap to finish the main meal. It's just that she was about to get up here, and Li Da, who had just got up with a hangover, had already hurriedly ran to confess.

"Da was drunk yesterday and failed to protect the little lord. Please also ask the little lord to punish him. Li Datong knelt outside the door with a puff.

Cai Ji looked at Li Da, who was drooping his head, and comforted him in a loud voice, "Get up." Last night was a celebration banquet, and it was rare for everyone to drink up. It's not a big deal to get drunk once. ”

However, Li Da still refused to get up, but said stubbornly, "It's not right for Da to have a hangover as the little lord's guard." If the little lord does not punish him. Da Zi led fifty military sticks! ”

Li Da's nail-riveting attitude made Cai Ji very moved. Thinking of his appearance when he suppressed the thief this time, Cai Ji couldn't help but ask Li Da, do you want to be a general? No Fiction Network Lots of Words"

"Yes." Li Da replied without thinking.

"If you want to be a general, you can't stay by my side all day long. Thou shalt have more experience in the barracks. Cai Ji kindly reminded.

Unexpectedly, Li Da raised his head and retorted puzzledly, "But Brother Zhang said that Wuyang Hou Fan Xue has been a general since he guarded Gaozu." ”

Wuyang Hou Fan Xu? Still a high ancestor? Zhang Qing is brainwashing Li Da. While Cai Ji smiled bitterly in his heart, he also understood Zhang Qing's intention to do this. Just as Cao Cao has Xu Zhu and Dian Wei by his side, Liu Bei has Zhao Yun beside him. Since Cai Ji chose to be the lord in troubled times, he really has to have a trustworthy escort by his side. But this means that Li Da will give up many opportunities to make a difference. In the face of such a loyal young man, Cai Ji, who didn't want to deceive the other party, said earnestly Li Da, if you concentrate on being a guard, you will lose a lot of opportunities to make contributions. Even promotions can be slower than others. You'll have to think about it. ”

"I can stay by the side of the little lord and be a general. Where to find such a good thing. Li Da said, grinning and revealing a mouthful of clean white teeth.

Looking at the young man's simple smile, Cai Ji knew that the other party's mind would not change, so he nodded in response, and you have this determination. From today onwards, let's move to a close attendant. As for yesterday's drunkenness, let's make a note for the time being, and if you commit it again next time, you will be punished together. ”

"Whoa." As soon as Li Da heard that Cai Ji had appointed him as a close attendant, he immediately leaned over happily to receive the order.

And Cai Ji walked out of the study and helped Li Dadao up. It's not too early, so let's have a meal together. In other words, the food in this Changguang County Ya is much better than that of Taishou Mansion. ”

In this way, Cai Ji and Li Da had a meal together in the small courtyard. Not long after, Tai Shici also led someone to escort Guan Cheng to the courtyard where Cai Ji temporarily lived. Because of the importance of the matter, Li Da was still guarding the door outside, while Cai Ji and Tai Shici had a secret conversation with Guan Cheng in the study.

Seeing the somewhat decadent pirate leader in front of him, Cai Ji motioned for Tai Shici to loosen his bonds, and asked indifferently how it was? After thinking about it for a night, can you decide? ”

Guan Cheng rubbed his wrist, and hurriedly replied to Cai Ji, and said that the little one is willing to serve the prince of the house. ”

"That's all?" Cai Ji asked quietly and rhetorically.

Guan Cheng, who was lying on the ground, heard Cai Ji ask like this, and couldn't help but think that his life is in your hands, what else do I dare to ask for besides these. But thinking about it, Guan Cheng was still very respectful to Cai Ji on the surface, and he was loyal to Cai Ji, and the little ones sincerely surrendered to the king, and they would never dare to have two hearts. ”

Whether you are sincere or not, it depends on your appearance, but it is not just a matter of moving your mouth. Cai Ji thought of this, "You have said that you sincerely surrender to this mansion. Then tell me where you are waiting for the water village? How many soldiers are there? How many ships are there? ”

When Guan Cheng heard Cai Ji say that he wanted to understand the situation of Shuizhai, he subconsciously hesitated. It is important to know that the location of the water village is extremely hidden, and it has always been a shelter for pirates. Once the government knows about it, there is no way back.

“？ Don't want to say? Cai Ji stared at Guan Cheng and asked.

"Fu Jun misunderstood. The small ones are on the Changguang seashore, where is there no reason not to say. Guan Cheng hurriedly explained.

"The stockade on the seafront? Hmph, with the habits of pirates such as you, there should be another water village on the island! Tai Shi Ci, who had been observing from the sidelines, snorted coldly and hit the nail on the head.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Cai Ji turned back to Tai Shi Ci and asked.

"Xiaofujun doesn't know that these pirates use fishermen as a cover to rob houses on weekdays, and once the government raises troops to suppress them, they will escape into the island to hide. Therefore, pirates are far more difficult to suppress than mountain bandits. If it weren't for the envoy of the small mansion to lure this group of pirates deep into the official road, I am afraid that we would have to sigh at this time. Tai Shici said unceremoniously in front of Guan Cheng.

In fact, according to the account in "The Biography of Le Jin", the final outcome of Guan Cheng's history was to flee to the island, causing the pursuing Cao Jun to stand on the beach and stomp his feet. Therefore, Cai Ji naturally did not take care of this group of pirates, and only a few broken villages by the sea were used as water villages. And the reason why she sang and harmonized with Tai Shici was that she wanted to knock on the slippery sea loach in front of her.

No, Guan Cheng heard that Tai Shi Ci had revealed his old background, and hurriedly prostrate, "The general is right, the little ones do have a resting place for mooring boats on Dujia Island. ”

Cai Jicai doesn't care whether Dujia Island is a resting place or a water village. In fact, she herself wished that she could take care of as many nests at sea as possible. After all, they are thinking about how to do business at sea, not to wipe out the pirates. Thinking of this, Cai Ji waved his hand at Guan Chengyi and continued. ”

Guan Cheng saw that Cai Ji no longer pursued the location of the water village, so he continued, "Back to Xiaofujun, there were originally more than 800 young and strong people in the water village, and more than 1,000 old and weak. After yesterday's battle, there were less than 600 people who could fight. There are about 300 ships in the other village. ”

"Six hundred young men, three hundred ships?" Cai Ji asked noncommittally.

Guan Cheng was quite suspicious when he heard Cai Ji's tone, and hurriedly added that among the three hundred ships, there was one sailboat that could carry fifty or sixty people, more than one hundred and twenty sailboats that could carry one or twenty people, and the rest were sailless boats. When the small ones are plundered along the river, they often cover the boat with raw cow skins, open the holes in both compartments, and there are spear holes in the front and back of the left and right, so that the enemy cannot enter, and the arrows and stones cannot be defeated. ”

"Hey, you're waiting for the pirates to create a hazy rush?" Tai Shi Ci asked with a little surprise.

Guan Cheng lowered his head and replied, "On the river, this kind of boat is better than a big boat. ”

Cai Ji listened to Guan Cheng's explanation and knew that compared with Liu Biao and Huang Zu, who had thousands of warships and tens of thousands of soldiers, the Donglai pirates in front of him could only be regarded as small shrimp in the sea. However, in Cai Ji's opinion, small shrimp is always better than starting from scratch. What's more, naval warfare and river warfare are not the same concept. If the ship galloping across the ocean is compared to a cavalry, then in the middle of the river, the ship is a fully armed chariot. Just as cavalry is far more mobile than chariots, chariots can only be powerful on certain terrain. Inland rivers may be the world of building boats. But when it comes to the sea, a behemoth like the Jingzhou Navy Master may not be able to deal with a small shrimp like Guan Cheng. It must be known that in the Ming Dynasty, one or two hundred, or even dozens of Japanese invaders, could attack the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as if they were in a no-man's land. In order to deal with the anti-Qing forces along the coast, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty even made a "sea relocation order". It has the flavor of the Central Plains Dynasty's helpless defense in the face of the attacks of the northern nomads.

Since Cai Ji's immediate goal is to loot the tribute ships to help Donglai survive the famine, he will also subsidize his purse by the way. So grabbing a ticket and running is her established tactic. As for the idea of making a name for himself and competing with the Southern Sailors, it is not in Cai Ji's consideration for the time being.

No, after understanding the strength of the pirates, Cai Ji followed up and asked, Na Yiru and the others, do you dare to rob the tribute ship again? ”

Guan Cheng heard about Cai Ji's tribute ship again, and was so anxious that he hurriedly defended, "Fu Jun Mingjian, since the little ones have been recruited, where do they dare to return to their old business." ”

Who knows, Cai Ji waved his hand and said disapprerovingly, who said that if he recruited, An, he couldn't do business at sea. ”

"What do you mean?" When Guan Cheng heard this, he raised his head for the first time and looked at the young man Taishou sitting in front of him. Although he could already hear a different taste from the other party's tone. But the current state of people being swords and I being fish and meat still makes Guan Cheng dare not make a mistake.

On the other hand, Cai Ji at this time did not shy away from admitting frankly, just as you, as the leader, grabbed food in order to prevent the old and young people in Shuizhai from starving. As the Taishou of Donglai, this government cannot sit idly by and watch starvation under its rule. Since you have been recruited by the county as a navy, why not go to the sea to rob some grain and grass for Donglai's fathers. ”

Tai Shi Ci saw that Cai Ji was able to compare the Taishou of a county with the thief prime minister without changing his face, and couldn't help but sigh that this girl was really taboo-free. And Guan Chengben on the side is a person who licks blood from the knife edge, and Cai Ji's reasonable remarks about robbery went straight to his heart. As soon as he thought that the high-ranking Fujun actually encouraged to rob, Guan Cheng couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and slapped his thigh, and Daofujun said yes! In these years without a name or surname, if you don't rob his mother, you really nest in the ground to eat. ”

In the face of Guan Cheng's vulgar words revealed in excitement, Tai Shi Ci, who was due to Cai Ji, who was present with everyone's ladies, was about to open his mouth to scold. But who would have thought that Cai Ji himself didn't care about this, but stroked his palm and laughed for a long time without a name. No, it is difficult to be effective in the troubled times, but there is still a trace of vitality in the sword. Right, Brother Ziyi? ”

Tai Shici looked at Cai Ji and Guan Cheng with a similar smell, and had no choice but to pour a basin of cold water on them, regardless of how much they could gain from plundering the tribute boats. We first knew when Samhan's tribute ships would go to sea. ”

But Guan Cheng waved his hand with a big grin, and said General Taishi, don't worry. Every year in June and July, there will be Chenhan and Benhan tribute ships from the sea to Fangdai County to pay tribute. There are many uninhabited islands in Jianghua Bay, and we only need to ambush them here to catch them all. ”

"Will Samhan's tribute ships go to sea in June or July? You just mentioned the tribute ships of Chenhan and Benhan, but what about the tribute ships of Mahan? Cai Ji asked with a frown.

"That's because since May the sea breeze blows from southeast to northwest, and the tribute ships don't have to worry about being blown to the deep sea by the sea breeze at this time. After July, the sea breeze changes direction. Therefore, most of the three Koreans will choose to pay tribute in June and July. "Maybe it's a rise to say, or maybe it's not used to sitting upright in the first place. In short, Guan Cheng unconsciously sat cross-legged on the ground as he spoke, and Ma Han bordered the two counties of Lelang and Fangdai, so he rarely paid tribute from the sea. However, the prince can rest assured that Nachen Han and Benhan will pay tribute in these two months a year, and the goods on the ship must be quite rich. ”

"I see." After hearing this, Cai Ji nodded, and then asked with concern, but in this case, if we waited for the tribute ship of the two Koreans. Wouldn't it be possible to rob again until next year? ”

"How can so many tribute ships pass?" Guan Cheng muttered puzzled.

And Tai Shi Ci on the side saw Cai Ji's confused appearance, and knew that she regarded Sanhan as three unified countries. So he followed and wanted Cai Ji to explain that Xiaofujun didn't know. Sanhan is just a collective name for the Ma, Chen, and Ben clans. There are 54 kingdoms in Mahan, 12 kingdoms in Chenhan, and 12 kingdoms in Benjin. Therefore, there are a total of 78 countries in Sanhan, and the lord of each country has a jade seal. Only those who bear the seal have the right to come to our court to pay tribute. ”

"That is to say, in June or July, there will be dozens of tribute ships to bring tribute?!" Cai Ji slapped his head and suddenly realized. In fact, in her previous life, she studied history and also knew that the city-states of Samhan were formed. It's just that Cai Ji didn't expect that the stick would be more exaggerated than Little Japan in reality, a county-level force is called a country, and it also pays tribute to the Central Plains alone.

Guan Cheng on the side saw that Cai Ji didn't understand what Sanhan was going on until this time, and hurriedly replied that there were not so many tribute ships. There are about a dozen of them a year. Don't hide it from the king, the big ship that can carry fifty or sixty people in the hands of the small one is the tribute ship of Benhan. ”

"Oh? Then you robbed the tribute ships. The Benhan people and even Fangdai County have not been traced? Cai Ji asked again.

"The sea is stormy and rough, so why not sink one or two ships." Guan Cheng licked his dry lips and smiled bloodthirsty.

"If you do this once or twice, you can still hide it. If there are too many robberies, it is better to use the yellow turban thief as a disguise. Cai Ji thought for a moment and reminded.

"Xiaofujun is reasonable." Tai Shi Ci nodded in agreement, then turned back to Guan Cheng and scolded, "You hear clearly, no matter whether the matter is successful or not, you are not allowed to say that this matter is related to the county government. ”

"Wow. The small ones must do the business properly. Never implicate the king. "The management of the bow cleverly bowed to the Tao.

"Don't be a little one. After returning to Huangxian this time, the government will give you the title of Sima of the Water Army. Cai Jiyi raised his hand and announced generously.

As soon as Guan Cheng heard that Cai Ji had appointed Sima Ji, he couldn't help but bury his head lower and respectfully said Xie Fujun was promoted. ”
