Ning Xiu already had a plan in his heart, so he replied: "It is the duty of this official to protect the territory and the people. Some time ago, a group of pirates plundered Xinning, Xinhui and other counties in Guangzhou Prefecture, and even drove the displaced people to attack Xiangshan County, which was repelled by this county. ”

After a pause, he said, "I didn't expect that Governor Silva's fleet had also been plundered, and it seems that it is necessary to teach them a good lesson." ”

Zhao Guangning nodded again and again and said: "What the county lord said is right, these pirates disturb the people and must be severely punished." It's just that I heard that this Haikou leader has some backgrounds. ”

"Oh? What is the name of this pirate leader? ”

"Li Dan."

Zhao Guangning slowly spit out two words.

“......”

Ning Xiu heard this, and his face was black, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

Nima, is he so destined for Li Dan?

Thinking that Li Dan led his troops to attack the city and was defeated by him and fled in embarrassment, he didn't expect that it didn't take long to turn around and rob Silva's fleet.

But it's not unreasonable to think about it.

Although Haikou is doing business without capital, it also needs to have a base.

After all, looted goods need to be transited, and some small islands and reefs are the best choice.

I believe that this Li Dan also has a similar base.

"Why, the county zun has also heard of this Li Dan?"

Zhao Guangning said with a look of surprise on his face.

Although this Li Dan is famous, it is not so good that even Ning Xiu knows about it.

Ning Xiu coughed and explained, "The last time it was this sea coward that attacked Xiangshan County. ”

"Forehead ......"

Zhao Guangning said in his heart, this is really a coincidence!

"That being the case, the county should send troops to teach them a good lesson!"

Zhao Guangning never mentioned how many troops Ning Xiu sent, because he knew that Ning Xiu, a civilian official, could not have many soldiers at all, at most some local soldiers from the Inspection Division, and then some family members, it would be good to have a hundred people together.

As for the ships, Ning Xiu did not, although there are many good coastal ports in Guangdong, but there is no official port. There are some sailors in those guards to guard against the pirates, but the problem is that they belong to the military system and are completely out of line with the civilian system.

Zhao Guangning now only hopes that Ning Xiu and Governor Silva will further their relationship through this joint force to suppress the Koukou, so that he can extract more benefits from it.

"Ahem, the grass people have gone back to Governor Silva first."

Zhao Guangning arched his hand at Ning Xiu and retreated.

Only then did Ning Xiu re-recruit the family who delivered the letter, and instructed him to return to Zhangzhou Mansion immediately, and ask his wife to take a sea boat and go by sea to live in the trench, where he would take care of it in advance.

This Ding naturally didn't dare to question Ning Xiu's decision, and respectfully retreated.

Ning Xiu said with emotion, both public and private, this Macao must be operated.

......

......

As soon as they heard that the county lord was going to send troops to suppress the Kou, the officers and soldiers of the inspection department were all blown up.

There are only a handful of soldiers in the county who can be mobilized, and those officials can never be counted on, so who else can there be besides the brothers of their inspection department?

Although the soldiers of the Inspection Division are also called soldiers, their combat effectiveness is terrifyingly low, and they are a little better than ordinary guard soldiers, and they are completely incomparable with the border army.

Asking them to pick up the guys and fight the murderous pirates, isn't this asking for their own lives?

"Oh, I said Wu Tou'er, you have an idea. The county is confused, and you can't follow the confusion. ”

Liu Si cried with a sad face, spread his hands and complained.

", do you think Lao Tzu is willing to go? But the county Zun gave an order, and asked Lao Tzu to gather all the officers and soldiers of the Inspection Division and immediately go to the county government to gather, what should you do if you call Lao Tzu? ”

"This, this ......"

Liu Si was speechless in a hurry, and stomped his feet hatefully: "This county is really addicted to fighting, can going to sea be the same as defending the city?" The reason why we repelled the Haikou last time was because with the strong city, wouldn't it be to other people's territory when we really got to the sea. ”

"You're going to fucking drag texts... Fortunately, there were red-haired soldiers with us, and it is said that we were also on their boats. ”

"What? Red-haired soldiers? ”

"It's the Franco. It is said that their governor's fleet was robbed, so he discussed with our lord to join forces to suppress the bandits. ”

Hearing this, Liu Si finally breathed a sigh of relief. He kind of understood, and the county respected the feelings this time to hug his thighs. No wonder the county is so calm, there are people in the Franc machine who are still afraid of hair.

Although the Francophiles are not as good as the Dutch and Spaniards, they are also very fierce, and it is certainly not a problem to deal with some pirates.

"I heard that their ships are equipped with artillery, so they will hit the fuck directly!"

"yes, fuck it!"

Liu Si waved his fists excitedly.

"Maybe we can get some military merit and some rewards this time."

......

......

Wuzhu Mountain Island.

This small island is located south of Mt. Kamikawa, across the sea from Hirokai Ei.

Today, it is occupied by a gang of pirates.

The leader of this gang of pirates is none other than Li Dan.

A few days ago, he led his troops to land in the sea area of Tiger Leaping Gate, and plundered Xinning and Xinhui counties one after another.

Li Dan fled all the way with the remnants, and fled impatiently back to Wuzhushan Island on the boat. But they fled too quickly to even take the looted things, and they lost so many brothers, which can be said to have lost their wives and soldiers.

After such a fiasco, Li Dan was naturally not in a good mood. Being a Haikou is said to be a business without capital, but in fact, it also depends on strength. If you don't have the strength, you will be eaten by the big pirate and become a vassal.

Li Dan was a very ambitious man, the reason why he left the South Seas was that he did not want to be a vassal of the Spaniards, and after coming to the waters of Guangdong, he occupied this Wuzhushan Island and made a living by robbing the ships along the way. Since he couldn't rob it ashore, he naturally had to do his old job and rob ships going to and from the sea. At present, morale is low, and only by doing a big vote can his prestige be re-established.

So when a fleet passed through Wuzhushan Island, Li Dan decided to eat all the fleet.

He lost many of his troops in the Battle of Xiangshan, but there were still many bandits on Wuzhushan Island, and there were five or six hundred people in total, so Li Dan set up an ambush in a fjord, and when the fleet passed by, he ordered the gunners to bombard it.

A bloody battle ensued, and Li Dan paid a heavy price, but fortunately he won. The rich income he received allowed Li Dan to enjoy the support of the emperor.

But the good times didn't last long, and he soon discovered that this fleet had the background of the Governor's Palace. Sure enough, Governor Silva, who had been robbed of the goods, was furious and announced that he would lead his men to defeat these unscrupulous pirates.

What Li Dan is about to face is a fleet of Francos armed to the teeth.
