The power of this military longbow is not comparable to that of civilian bows and arrows.
There are pirates who intentionally or unintentionally hide their shoddy bows and arrows behind them.
"Chief, there is a letter on the arrow."
There are also sharp-eyed people who find a letter tied to the back of the arrow.
Liu Xi looked over wildly, and then saw Liu Hongyi smiling lightly, slightly stunned, "Take it." ”
There are pirates running around.
"Wow!"
It took a lot of effort to pull the arrow out of the trunk, and then ran back to Liuxi's side.
Liu Xi took down the letter, threw away the arrow, looked down at the letter, and then suddenly looked at Liu Hongyi who was standing on the bow of the boat, "Please appease the envoy to the island!" ”
There was a look of surprise on his face that could not be concealed.
The letter is a secret letter written by Zhao Dongting himself.
Liu Ximad, you have been loyal to me on Crescent Island, and I have sent Guangnan West Road to appease General Liu Hongyi Liu to the island, and you should fully cooperate with Zhao'an. I intend to include the Dongsha Islands in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty as a hub for the trade of the Liuqiu and the Holy Dynasty. General Liu will help you build the northern and southern islands, and provide you with grain, grass, and money, and you will be the envoy in charge of the two islands in the future. The pirates under your command will leave 2,000 as soldiers to guard the island, and all the rest will be dismissed as citizens. If you don't, you can dispose of it yourself.
Liu Ximad had already guessed 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 current Great Song Dynasty has become powerful, but no one can ignore it and ignore it as before, and it has become a big tree.
No wonder, no wonder there are so many peerless masters around him.
The more Liu Xi thought about it, the more ecstatic he became.
He probably never imagined that he would be able to be recruited and turn from a pirate to an official.
Although I don't know what kind of product this so-called envoy is, he will be the well-deserved lord of the two roundabouts in the south and north in the future.
The meaning of the emperor's letter was very clear, Liu appeased the envoy and would only help him build the island, not take away his power.
In the future, with the Great Song Dynasty as a backer, won't his life be much better than before?
Liuxi's vision is not comparable to that of ordinary pirates. He could imagine how the Dongsha Islands would be rich in the future as the center of the Liuqiu and the Holy Dynasty trade.
He no longer had to take his brothers around to raid, and he was always worried that the officers and soldiers would come to encircle and suppress him.
He finally understood why when the emperor had just subdued him, he could say so confidently that he and the Red Lady's subordinates would live a worry-free life. With them alone, they are absolutely unable to build the Dongsha Islands into a trade center, but the Song Dynasty undoubtedly has this background and strength.
Liu Hongyi only brought a few soldiers to the island.
The large ship is still anchored outside the reef group.
Liu Xi was polite, greeted him in person, and bowed his hand to Liu Hongyi, "Liu Xi has seen Liu An's envoy. ”
Liu Hongyi smiled softly, "This family doesn't need to be polite. ”
Of course, he looked down on pirates like Liu Xima, and he could even be said to be extremely disgusted, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he hated it, but what Zhao Dongting said before made him change this opinion.
Zhao Dongting said that the reason why pirates are thieves is not because they like to burn, kill and loot by nature, but because they have not had enough to eat, so they have to do these things. After receiving the Dongsha Islands, the people on the islands can have enough to eat, and in the future, the holy pilgrimage can cut off the scourge of piracy in the coastal waters. Suppressing bandits has always been a symptom rather than a root cause, and letting everyone in the world have food is the root cause.
Liu Hongyi thought deeply of this sentence.
Therefore, he let go of the hatred of pirates in his heart.
He also understood that there were many pirates, who were actually inhabitants of the island. These people are indeed forced to make a living, as the emperor said.
The pirates behind all looked at Liu Ximad with puzzled expressions, not knowing how Liu Ximad could suddenly be so enthusiastic and polite with the pacification of Guangnan West Road.
Liu Xi greeted him wildly, and looked at the more than 20 big ships on the sea.
Liu Hongyi knew what he meant, and looked back and smiled: "Grain, gold and silver, cloth and blades are all on the ship. The Willow Knife King could have the brothers move it down now. ”
"Brethren!"
Liu Xi was ecstatic, "The imperial court has sent us gold, silver and grain, so that we can live a peaceful life." It's all for Lao Tzu to get on the boat and move things! ”
The pirates were even more confused.
A pirate leader ran to Liu Ximao's side, looked at Liu Hongyi, and asked, "Chief, what the hell is going on?" ”
No wonder they were confused, as the head of the pirates, Liu Ximad and the dignified Song Guang'an Nanxi Road pacifier talked very happily, which was originally quite a strange thing.
It's just that at this time, no one dared to speak ill of Liu Hongyi directly, although many of these pirates died under the encirclement and suppression 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 the Red Lady have started their own roads of conquest.
In the entire territory of the Dongsha Islands, both of them are unwilling to submit to the pirate forces, and they have already tasted the consequences.
Therefore, now these pirate leaders have become Liu Xi's men.
"Do you remember that boy when you were on Crescent Island?" Liu Xi turned his head wildly, his eyes swept over the confused crowd, and asked.
The pirates all nodded.
In that attack on Crescent Island, they were called by Liuxi wildly, and most of them went. For the handsome boy who has several masters to protect him, he still remembers it vividly.
"He is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty."
Liu Xi frantically arched his hand in the northeast direction.
The words were very soft, but they made all the pirates around them like a shock.
Someone's eyes widened.
Someone quietly swallowed saliva.
To these pirates, the emperor is as far away as the sky.
There was silence for dozens of seconds before someone said with an expression of disbelief: "Your Majesty, this is going to ...... Recruit me and wait? ”
Liu Xi nodded wildly, "Exactly. ”
There are pirates who are ecstatic, and there are pirates who are at a loss.
Many of them were full of evil, and some of them were worried, "Chief, what we did before ......
Liu Hongyi smiled and answered this question instead of Liu Ximad, "I am not to blame for the past." ”
This sentence made all the pirates look relieved, and then they were happy.
This Great Song Dynasty appeasement envoy will not tell lies. And Zhao Dongting subdued Liu Ximad and the Red Lady that day, they all saw it with their own eyes.
can become the officers and soldiers of the imperial court to eat the imperial food and take the silver, since no one wants to do the work of licking the blood from the knife edge anymore.
Liu Xi waved his hand wildly and said, "I'm still stunned, I'll let Lao Tzu get on the boat and move things." ”
Then he looked at Liu Hongyi, "Pacify the envoy, please." ”
The two walked side by side, towards the pirate's cottage halfway up the mountainside.
Behind him, a pirate leader rowed a small boat with his subordinates, shouting and heading towards the warship.
Soon, the coast of the South Circle was in full swing.
……
Luo Dian, the southernmost part of Kuizhou Road.
So far, Song and Li Shuangfa have been facing off here for more than a month.
There was no major battle from beginning to end, and the 100,000 forbidden troops of Dali never crossed the border. But the small fighting of dozens and hundreds of people has never stopped.
Over the past few days, there have been thousands of soldiers on both sides. It looks like the two armies are deliberately tempering the army.
It was only tonight, and the territory of Luodian, surrounded by primeval jungle, was already quite quiet.
The camp of the Song army has been spread out in the deep mountains of Luodian, with a total of dozens of camps. After dinner, there were outposts in each camp and went out of the camp to the mountains.
It's even become a habit.
Some laugh at it as an after-dinner hunting game.
But for the sentinels who really want to participate in the war, it is a real battlefield fight.
These days, some people have beheaded a lot and have been able to make a name for themselves in the army, but there are also people who have sunk in the sand and buried their bodies in the vast mountains.
Liu Fifteen and his annihilated squad have long been mentioned by no one anymore.
Dozens of sentinels descended into the mountains from all over the place.
In the past, it always took a long time to meet the Dali outpost, and then start a fight. It's just that this time, the sentinels went deep into the mountains, but they didn't meet the Dali sentinels.
There was a sentry procession back to the camp.
Others, who are more daring, continue to go west.
In the end, when I arrived at the place where the Dali forbidden army camped was originally explored, I found that the Dali army had already set camp. In its place, only the pit for cooking remains.
There are countless earth pits, and large areas of trees around them have been cut down.
The sentinels were dumbfounded, and then someone showed joy and shouted: "Dali has withdrawn!" Dali has withdrawn! ”
The confrontation, which lasted for more than a month, ended like this.
