Chapter 398: We Can't Go
"Really?" He was overjoyed over the mountain fire, he was born as a pirate and is particularly sensitive to hydrology or something, today Gu Zhang sent this is really right to his mind, as long as there is this picture, the future Guangzhou Port is not just to come if you want to, and you can leave if you want to.
"That's good, you have a heart." Guoshan Huo laughed: "That's it, we will have to cooperate for a long time in the future, and it is not appropriate for us to swallow it alone if there are benefits, so let's do it, this time we will give one percent of what we grabbed to your Gu family." I'm the most bold person when you go overseas to inquire. ”
Gu Zhang also smiled: "Of course, who doesn't know the name of the mountain fire and the righteous cloud, otherwise I wouldn't dare to cooperate with you." But this Yicheng is not for the Gu family, it is for Gu Zhang. "There are so many people in the Gu family, and the family must be brought to their own homes by those old immortals, and I, Gu Zhang, will die for the sake of the family, so I can't have no benefits at all.
The mountain fire first shook for a moment, and then patted him on the shoulder and said: "Have courage, people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, and cooperate with people like you, I can rest assured!" ”
The port of Guangzhou was the largest port in the world in the Tang Dynasty, and ships from all over the world continued to come to Guangzhou to do business, and also brought all kinds of exquisite items of the Tang Dynasty to their respective countries.
So the whole Guangzhou port is slowly ships in the port every day, and then the port facilities are also very advanced, there are pilots, there are unloaders, there are Chinese people, the strange thing is that there is no customs, all the interests here are swallowed up by various families, and now suddenly the emperor said that he wants to collect taxes, of course everyone is not happy.
There is also a lighthouse in Guangzhou Port to prevent ships from breaking in at night, and there are also sailors looking at the sea.
It was almost dusk, under the light of the setting sun, the port was quiet, everyone had become accustomed to such a day, the sunrise and sunset, at this time everyone had finished work, the sailors on the ship began to feel the pot and prepare to come out to cook, the coolies on the shore and the Chinese people in groups of three or five called friends and friends to find a tavern to drink, relieve the fatigue of a busy day, and then go home and sleep well.
The sailor on the lighthouse was also ready to leave work, and then he casually glanced at the sea, and then immediately shouted in horror: "Enemy attack, enemy attack... As he spoke, he rang the alarm bell next to him.
The personnel of the port of Guangzhou, who had been accustomed to peaceful days, looked in the direction of the lighthouse with blank eyes, and the beacon fire representing the enemy attack had been burned, and they thought about it for a while before shouting in horror: "Enemy attack!" ”
Those who are near the sea have seen the mighty fleet of ships on the sea, and the sails have obscured the horizon. "Boom", all the people ran in panic, they really didn't think that one day they would be attacked by the enemy in the port, now everyone has only one thought in their hearts: Where is our Datang naval army? How did you let these pirates get in?
Where is the troll? It happened to be sent out by the Metropolitan Governor's Office for a drill, and not a single ship was dispatched in the port, not even the ships that usually patrol.
There were other pirates who saw the dense ships parked in the harbor, and they couldn't help themselves, this should be the highlight of their pirate career, they actually took the brothers to rob the largest port in the Tang Dynasty, who would dare to compete at sea after such a record?
The pirates on the rest of the ships also cheered loudly, everyone used to rob one by one on the sea, but I didn't expect that this time the big leader would rob the port, so many ships, so many goods, how much money did he have to make, and he made a fortune!
As soon as the flag of the mountain fire changed, all the ships formed into an attack formation and headed for the harbor. Some ships were unwilling to be trapped and wanted to turn their bows and escape, and some ships wanted to reduce their losses and wanted to drive their ships into the harbor.
"Passed down the order, it is not allowed to set fire to the ship, we are here to rob, the officers and soldiers will not arrive until a day later, what we have is time, and the looted things will be transported back by these ships at that time!" Guoshan Huo said calmly: "And the sailors should not kill too much, it is up to them to drive the boat." ”
The pirates sorted out their equipment, bold and enthusiastic to point at the shore, they had already regarded this place as their own plate, and the entire port of Guangzhou was already stripped of beautiful women, just waiting for their ravage.
"Young master, it's not good!" Daniel Zhang hurriedly ran over: "There are a large number of pirates attacking at sea, and the port is now in chaos, let's leave quickly!" ”
"Pirates spotted in the harbor? How many people are there? What about the ships of the Guangzhou Navy Army? Li Dongsheng was also taken aback: "There is no one to maintain order in such an important place as the Governor's Mansion?" ”
"Young master, I don't know, anyway, there are more than 300 soldiers in the entire dock now, and the rest have not been seen. The pirates don't know much, but look at the posture of at least 5,000 people. ”
"Bastard!" Li Dongsheng's heart turned and he knew that this was coming for him: "Qiu Xinggong should be damned!" Damn it! Damn it! For his own selfish interests, he dared to risk the condemnation of the world and colluded with pirates to kill the imperial court officials, causing a large number of innocent people in Guangzhou Port to be killed and injured. ”
Li Dongsheng didn't expect these guys to be so crazy at all, now is the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, not the era of the later Tang Dynasty, when the centralized power was weakened and the local festivals were divided, they dared to make such a big move, really Li Shimin is a fool?
But in this way, Li Dongsheng also knows the arrogance and rampant of the family, anyway, if we want to collect our taxes, we will do a big vote for you to see, even if the Son of Heaven comes to rob us of our money, we will resist, and when the time comes, it will be directly pushed to the pirates, anyway, our family is civilized, harmonious, and supports the Son of Heaven.
"Young Master, let's go!" Daniel Zhang couldn't do it in a hurry: "They are just coming for you, young master, the outside is chaotic like that, and if you don't leave, you can't leave." ”
"We can't go!" Li Dongsheng thought for a moment and said categorically: "They are coming at me, we are going to drag them here." These guys are all a rabble, as long as we resist for a day, then no matter how much the Guangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Office colludes, we will have to send troops to help. As soon as we leave, it will be a hundred times more difficult to do the work here in the future. Now let the guards hurry up and clear the crowd, or you can gather people in the courtyard, put all the furniture against the door, leave only one in and out, prepare the water tank and sand, and go now. ”
