Chapter 857: The East China Sea Wind Rises
Tamna, Wang Yuanxing, as the commander of the Mingzhou Naval Division, was receiving a person, a pirate to be precise.
"Xue Huzi, how did you ask about it before? Have you found out who leaked the whereabouts of my Datang fleet? ”
Xue's surname was Xue, and he was originally a wealthy family in Silla, but he became a pirate instead.
But this Xue Huzi has a lot of ambitions, but his ability is not good, and in the end he has no choice but to take refuge in Datang.
Because of some things, it is inconvenient for the sailors of the Tang Dynasty to come forward, so it is necessary for Xue Huzi to exist as a pirate who can be dispatched by them.
Wang Yuanxing asked about the previous attack by pirates on He Dong and Wang Shimiao.
This matter is being investigated by Jinyiwei, and the Mingzhou Sailor is also investigating.
"Commander Wang, that matter is so small that people have inquired about it, but they don't know about it. Boss Sun's guy is dead, and his forces are all torn apart, and those who are alive don't know where Boss Sun got the news.
As for the other pirate leaders, it is even more impossible. The pirates in the southern waters of Silla were greatly injured by the sailors of the Tang Dynasty, and now they are all going ashore to hide, for fear of being settled by the sailors of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Don't talk about those useless things, there is something to find you here this time, the major affairs of the imperial court, as long as you do a good job, it is not impossible to incorporate you as a Tang Navy Master in the future." Wang Yuanxing didn't expect the other party to find anything, after all, Jinyiwei was at a loss when he heard it.
"Really? A small pirate of this kind can also become a Datang sailor? Xue Huzi said excitedly.
"It's not impossible, as long as you work hard, it's hard to say if you're a marquis in the future, but it's not impossible to co-opt you and make you a real Tang general.
If you want to make great achievements, it is not impossible to be given a knighthood by the Holy One. Wang Yuanxing tempted.
"Commander Wang, don't coax a Silla citizen like me." Xue Huzi was still a little unconvinced, "Unless it is Commander Wang, what he ordered later is a little difficult." ”
"What? If it's difficult, you won't do it? If you don't do it, we can change people, this Silla pirates are more than that... ”
"Don't!" Xue Huzi was in a hurry, hurriedly stopped, licked his face and said, "Commander Wang, don't be angry, the little one is just joking." As long as the Tang Navy Master gives an order, I, Xue Huzi, will definitely obey the dispatch, even if it is for me to attack Gyeongju. ”
"Attack Gyeongju? You'd better forget it. Wang Yuanxing glanced at the other party.
"Commander Wang, where is the little one going to fight?" As for where to attack, Xue Huzi was still a little curious.
"It's not that hard to fight, it's just a widow!" Wang Yuanxing said lightly.
"Widows?" Xue Huzi hesitated a little, "Commander Wang, this widow is not easy to fight. ”
"Haven't you Silla pirates not raided the Japanese towns in recent decades? To go or not to go? Wang Yuanxing's face suddenly became gloomy.
"Go, go!" Xue Huzi didn't dare to offend the Tang Dynasty sailor, so he hurriedly agreed.
"Don't worry, it's not for you to attack the Japanese in Kyoto, and we'll send you more than 20 ships, all of which were captured by your Silla pirates before.
Some of the ships are better than your current ones, and in total, you have seventy or eighty ships here, so it's no problem to raid a few ordinary Japanese towns, right? Wang Yuanxing said.
"No problem!" When Xue Huzi heard that there were more than 20 ships, he immediately became motivated, "I don't know where Commander Wang wants the little one to fight the Japanese people?" ”
"Tsushima and Iwami, our sailors will always chase you, and then you will attack Tsushima.
After our sailors arrived, you feigned defeat, and then went to attack Iwami Province and occupy it. ”
"Occupy Iwami Province? Isn't it looting? Xue Huzi said in surprise.
"Let you occupy it, occupy it, so much nonsense." Wang Yuanxing said unhappily.
"Commander Wang, it's not a small mouthful. If you go to occupy these places in Hizen Province, the small ones are not afraid, but this Iwami Province is not far from the Kyoto of the Japanese people, and if the Japanese army comes, the small ones are afraid that their men will not be able to defeat them. Xue Huzi said in a low voice.
Wang Yuanxing frowned, "Is the Japanese army very strong?" ”
"I don't know about this small one, but I've heard of it, after all, the relationship between the Japanese and Silla was not very good before, and the Japanese have invaded Silla many times."
Wang Yuanxing fell into deep thought, and only said after a while, "You go to fight first, and I will report to the top here to see if I can give you some weapons."
But people, you have to figure it out for yourself, our sailors won't help you in the short term. ”
"As long as Datang can support weapons, people don't need to bother with Commander Wang, and now that Silla is in turmoil, many people in the country can't survive.
The smaller ones can find a way to recruit more men! Hearing that Datang was going to give him a support weapon, Xue Huzi was excited.
"Let's go and occupy Tsushima first, if you can't even do what you started with, don't think about it later." Wang Yuanxing said coldly.
"Commander Wang can rest assured, there will be no problem." Xue Huzi patted his chest and reassured, thought of something again, and hesitated, "What about the wealth we robbed?" ”
"It's all yours, we don't want it, but Iwami must take it, that's the premise." Although Wang Yuanxing didn't know why Wang Shimiao asked him to let Xue Huzi go to fight the Japanese after returning from Chang'an.
Although it is not clear, since it is an order from above, he will carry it out well.
。。。。。。
Anxi Dadu Hufu, Liangzhou.
As soon as they arrived in Liangzhou, everyone felt the difference between the largest city in Hexi, although it was not as prosperous as Chang'an, but it was compared with Fengxiang Mansion, and it had more other characteristics.
In Liangzhou, although there are many Han Chinese, there are all Uighurs, Tibetans, Wenmo, Qiang, Dangxiang and other ethnic groups.
For the arrival of the two armies of the Right Shenwei Army and the Right Shenji Battalion, the entire Liangzhou was still very shocked, because the scale was too large.
There are more than 100,000 people, and there are more than 100,000 mules and horses, which is not a small scale.
"This Liangzhou is still a little desolate, much worse than Chang'an, but it is much more lively than the city of Nanzhao." Looking at the Liangzhou City in front of him, Zhang Lian was not too surprised.
"No, that's it, it's still lively? It's far worse than Chang'an, and there is more dust. A young general next to Zhang Lian pouted, obviously not very satisfied.
This white-robed young general is called Li Chengen, the great-grandson of Li Zhirou, the heir of King Xue, who currently has no title, but his seniority is relatively high, several generations higher than Zhang Lian.
However, Li Chengen is currently only 17 years old, and he has no title, and he is only a captain of the Right Shenji Battalion.
Xiang Li Chengen, a child of the clan, there are many in the Right Shenwei Army and the Right Shenji Battalion this time.
The reason is naturally that their elders want these juniors to make military achievements, and Li Ye did not stop them, but agreed to let these people go to the army to hone their skills.
"You kid be content, you're here to fight, not to play!" Zhang Lian smiled.
Just as the two were talking, Zhou Dewei ordered to rest in Liangzhou City for a day and then set off.
It has been more than 30 days since he set off from Chang'an, and half of the trip has passed, and even Zhou Dewei is a little unbearable, so he decided to rest in this Liangzhou City for a day and set off early the day after tomorrow.
