"Song Junzhou Division, Song Junzhou Division!"

"Row, row!"

On the sea east of Quanzhou, when a small passenger boat was moving, three small vehicles and boats with the banner of the Song Army suddenly rushed out of the fog.

This kind of small vehicle ship is a kind of small warship driven by manpower, and there is a round on each side of the warship, each wheel has eight poles, that is, eight short oars are attached to the side of each "wheel", which is pedaled by foot force and driven by water.

"Wheel" is also called "car", so it is a car and boat, which originated from the two Jin and Northern Dynasties, and there were also cars and ships in the time of Li Tang.

Quanzhou was ordered to set up a boat division, and the formation of a boat division was first in the warship, so when the craftsmen of the Quanzhou shipbuilding workshop took out the design drawings of various ships, Li Sanjian fell in love with this kind of car and ship at a glance.

The reason is that this kind of vehicle and ship is almost no different from a ship, and the difference is the power mode.

However, due to Quanzhou's limited financial resources and the fact that it had just begun to be formed, Quanzhou only built a few small vehicles and ships, that is, several two-wheeled vehicles and ships, and named this small vehicle and ship "Feijiao" warship.

According to Li Sanjian's idea, in the future, he planned to build large and medium-sized warships such as four, eight, sixteen, and twenty-four vehicles.

At this time, the three "Feiyan" warships of the Quanzhou Boat Division suddenly rushed to the passenger boat that was sailing on the seashore, and suddenly frightened the thieves on the passenger boat, and desperately rowed or pulled up the sails, intending to escape.

However, this kind of vehicle and boat, driven by human pedals, does not rely entirely on the direction of the wind, so the sprint speed in the short and medium distances is extremely amazing.

The three "Feiyan" warships finished in the shape of a zigzag, chopping waves and rushing towards the passenger boat like arrows, and the distance was getting closer and closer.

"I am Zheng Tai, the Quanzhou Boat Master of the Great Song Black Flag Army, and the ships in front of me will stop quickly and accept inspection!" At this time, a general of the Song Army's boat division stood at the bow of the "Feiyan" warship with a pair of bows and arrows, and shouted loudly to the passenger boat.

The "Feiyan" warship was moving at full strength, and the ship could not help but sway violently, but Zheng Tai stood firmly on the bow of the ship, as steady as Mount Tai.

The passenger boat did not seem to hear or turn a blind eye, still paddling desperately, intending to escape.

"Shoot the arrows!" Zheng Tai, the general of the Quanzhou Boat Division of the Black Flag Army of the Great Song Dynasty, was furious, bent his bow and arrows, and after giving a loud order, he took the lead in shooting an arrow at the passenger boat.

After receiving the order, Zheng Tai's subordinates also picked up bows and arrows and fired bows and arrows at the passenger boat.

All of a sudden, arrows rained down, and feathered arrows like locusts flew densely towards the passenger boat.

When the feather arrow was inserted into the boat gang and sail, the sound of "do-do-do" continued to sound, and there were several screams, which were the miserable screams of the people on the passenger boat who were hit by the arrows.

"Tom!" With a loud bang, the ramming angle of a "Feiyan" warship collided with the passenger boat, and was firmly embedded in the ship's gang, connecting the two ships tightly together.

Zheng Tai shouted, put down his bow and arrows, jumped on the collision angle with a big ring knife, and jumped onto the passenger boat along the collision angle, and the officers and soldiers of the Song Junzhou Division also rushed to the passenger boat with Zheng Tai.

"Drink!" When Zheng Tai jumped on the passenger boat, a thief with a blade wanted to resist, but was cut in two by Zheng Tai's dancing knife, and the lower half of his body was left in the boat, but the upper half flew into the sea.

"Zheng Dutou, keep people under the knife, Li Zhizhou wants to live." A general of the Song army saw that Zheng Tai was like a murderous demon king, so he hurriedly reminded.

Zheng Tai nodded, so after waving the knife in the air for half a circle, he pointed at the remaining pirates and shouted: "Discard the blade, kneel and don't kill!" ”

"Discard the blade and kneel without killing!" Zheng Tai's officers and soldiers held various blades and shouted loudly.

When the remaining dozen or so pirates in the passenger boat heard this, they threw away their blades one after another, knelt on the ground and asked to surrender.

Zheng Tai then carried the big ring knife upside down, walked up to the pirates who were drenched in the sea like chickens, and asked, "Where is the mountain Jiao?" ”

"Three... Chieftains... He had already gotten on another boat and left. One of the pirates replied tremblingly.

"What? Let's go? How long have you been gone? Zheng Tai was furious when he heard this, and he picked up the pirate and asked.

"Let's go... It's been more than an hour... The pirate replied.

For more than an hour, it seemed that he couldn't catch up, Zheng Tai threw the pirate in the boat, looked at the endless sea, and said secretly in his heart.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

The residence of Long Lingxiang outside the city of Quanzhou

"Shankui, lead people to surround the house, no one is allowed to leave, no one is allowed to enter or leave without my order." Li Sanjian pressed his hand on his waist and said to Shan Kui, the capital of the Black Flag Army.

"Master, Shankui understands." Shan Kui answered, waved his hand and led his soldiers to surround the small house here.

"Come in with me." Li Sanjian then said to Cai Yingxue beside him.

Cai Yingxue glanced at Li Sanjian, and followed Li Sanjian into the house.

Li Sanjian and the three leaders of the Tongpan Island pirates Gu Longyun unsuccessfully negotiated, so he returned to the city, and then Li Sanjian mobilized soldiers and horses, divided into water and land routes, and wanted to capture Gu Longyun and others, but he had not yet received news from the waterway, Li Sanjian led people back to Long Lingxiang's residence, wanting to capture Gu Longyun and others.

Gu Yunlong and the others are not demented, after separating from Li Sanjian, can they still wait for Li Sanjian to arrest people? Therefore, Li Sanjian did not have much hope for this move, but just wanted to try his luck.

"Hey, Daguan Li, what a big battle, put on such a big battle to deal with an old woman?" Sure enough, after Li Sanjian and Cai Yingxue entered Long Lingxiang's residence, the house was empty except for Long Lingxiang.

Looking at the appearance, it should be that Long Lingxiang had already dismissed his daughter and others, and he was alone waiting for Li Sanjian to return.

"Pirates are as fierce as tigers, and they have to do their best." Li Sanjian said with a slightly red face.

"Oh, what does Li Daguan mean, is the old woman a pirate?" Long Lingxiang asked again without changing his face.

"According to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, the crime of being a thief should be the same as that of a thief." Li Sanjian looked at Long Lingxiang and said slowly.

Li Sanjian was really depressed in his heart, why didn't you stay well after the three of you Long Lingxiang's mother and daughter arrived in Quanzhou? If you have to have a connection with the pirates, and you also marry your daughter to the pirates, you have to be a thief, so Li Sanjian can't catch it, and if you don't catch it, it's extremely difficult.

"Well, then please ask Li Zhizhou to lock the old woman away." Long Lingxiang, who was sitting on the chair, said lightly to Li Sanjian.

Li Sanjian stared at Long Lingxiang for a long time when he heard this, and after half a sound, he sat down on the chair uninvited, and said, "Mrs. Long, you know that Li Mou didn't come here at this moment. ”

At this moment, Li Sanjian regretted it very much in his heart, regretting that he should have enforced the law impartially when he was in Kaifeng Mansion, and he should have taken Long Lingxiang and others down for punishment without favoritism.

At the beginning, Li Sanjian saw that Elder Chen and the others were dead, and he couldn't bear it, plus Long Lingxiang and the others took good care of themselves in Jinghu Villa, so he let Long Lingxiang and the others go without careful consideration.

But who are Long Lingxiang and the others? As a descendant of the anti-thief Nong Zhigao, if the imperial court learns about this, it will not let Li Sanjian go easily.

Therefore, at that time, while Li Sanjian let go of Long Lingxiang and others, he also brought endless trouble to Li Sanjian.

At this time, Li Sanjian felt that he was walking a tightrope on the cliff, and if he didn't pay attention, he would fall into the abyss.

"In this way, the old lady will thank Li Zhizhou very much." Long Lingxiang smiled when she heard this.

"Don't rush to thank me just yet." Li Sanjian shook his head and said, "What is your relationship with Gu Longyun?" Or do you have anything to do with the Tongpan Island pirates? The matter has come to this point, and Li hopes that Mrs. Long will say everything. ”

"Since Li Zhizhou is so sincere, of course the old lady should tell the truth." Long Lingxiang nodded, and said slowly: "Brother Gu has been an old friend of the old lady for many years, Li Zhizhou, you should also know that in the past, Qingyin Pavilion not only did some murderous deeds, but also did some business, such as... Selling illicit salt, and selling illicit salt without friends in the rivers and lakes will never work. Salt is mostly on the coast, and people at sea have to deal with people at sea to sell illicit salt on the coast. ”

"I see!" Li Sanjian nodded and said, "So, after Mrs. Long arrived in Quanzhou, was she still doing some illegal salt trafficking?" Is there no other legitimate means of making a living? ”

The stricter the salt ban, the easier it is to sell the illegal salt, the higher the profits, and the extremely high profits have caused the flood of illegal salt.

Of course, the reason for the prevalence of private salt is also due to the relationship between supply and demand, the population has surged, salt is a necessity of life, and the demand for salt has also increased greatly as the population increases.

In order to resist the arrest of the officials and soldiers, the smugglers often set up in groups, except for a few, dozens, or hundreds of people who gathered in groups to sell salt, and in many places they often formed groups of thousands to sell smuggled goods with weapons. If you don't agree with each other, you will draw a sword and face each other, and the court will repeatedly ban it.

Among them, the waterway smuggling salt is even more prevalent, since the Song Dynasty, there are often big ships to and from the sea, selling smuggling salt, so far.

Many of the thieves were converted from smugglers.

Long Lingxiang's industry in Quanzhou is the Illegal Salt Gang, and since there is a Illegal Salt Gang selling smuggling on the sea, it is inevitable to deal with the pirates on the Tsunami Sea.

At this moment, Long Lingxiang can be regarded as telling the truth.

"People are humane, shrimp have shrimp road." Long Lingxiang chuckled when he heard this: "Li Daguan is high, he is a local official of the imperial court, how can he know the hardships of the life of the small people? If the old woman and others are not like this, how can they survive in this world? ”

"Actually, the old lady invited Li Daguan to come today, mainly because she wanted to do the official a favor and repay the favor of the official." Long Lingxiang then said to Li Sanjian.

"Huh? Do me a favor? Would you like to hear more? Li Sanjian asked in surprise when he heard this.

"Great official, here's the thing... Long Lingxiang said.

“。。。。。。。。。”

"In any case, the business of private salt should be done less, it should be more restrained, and it should be turned into legitimate trading as much as possible." Before leaving Long Lingxiang's residence, Li Sanjian said solemnly to Long Lingxiang.
