"Who wants to lead the team to fight and take the four northern islands?"

Yang Congyi summoned all the commanders of the elite army and the commander of the fire to explain to them the importance of the four northern islands to the fleet's trip, and conveyed a clear signal that they must be taken by force and firmly controlled in their hands.

"I'm willing to fight!"

"I'm willing to fight!"

There were three people who fought almost at the same time, wanting to get this rare feat.

"Very well, then tell me how to take the island?" Yang Congyi glanced at the three of them.

The captain of the first team rushed and said: "Quietly lead people to sneak up in the evening, find the thieves' nest, and kill them all directly!" ”

Yang Congyi nodded slightly, noncommittal.

A fire chief said: "My lord, this was the land of the Great Song Dynasty before, the Jin people snatched the land, and most of the people became Jin people, I heard that some Song people who did not want to be controlled by the Jin people either hid in the mountains or entered the sea, and many of them were righteous people who were interested in the Great Song Dynasty. Those people on the northern islands probably just couldn't stand the exploitation of the Jin people and hid in the sea, and they were also Song people a few decades ago. If they are willing to return to the Great Song Dynasty and give up the island, I don't need to meet each other, if they are not willing to return to the Great Song Dynasty and give up the island, it will not be too late to destroy them. ”

Yang Congyi was slightly startled in his heart, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at this fire chief, and the fire chief was deeply encouraged.

Another fire chief said: "My lord, a few islands in the north are not small, and there are hundreds of people hidden on the island, and we can't find them at all, if there are not many people who can dispatch, we can only sneak into their lair, once we contact them, they are willing to join them, it is better to say, if they are unwilling, fight on the island, they occupy a favorable position, we will suffer, the best way is to sneak attack, take them all in one fell swoop." ”

"You all have a point. Whether it's landing on the island to sneak up on their lair, or contacting and co-opting, we can do it with our strength. Thirty years ago, this place was indeed owned by the Great Song Dynasty, the first few Song and Jin battles, the righteous army formed by the northern righteous people also helped the Great Song army a lot, and made a lot of meritorious deeds, now we come here, if we don't ask them if they want to join them and kill them directly, it is indeed a little ungrateful, unkind. This place is now ruled by the Jin people, and the people who live on the desert island obviously do not want to be ruled by them, and we do not have the slightest good impression of the Jin people, so the people on the desert island, whether they are righteous or not, may become our brothers or friends because of the Jin people. In this case, I will personally go and contact them, and if I am willing to join them, I will not have to shed blood, and if I am not willing, I will sweep away the islands one by one. ”

The words of the fire chief inspired Yang Congyi a lot, making him realize that the people on the desert island are very different from the people in the city. He has been to Penglai County, from Penglai to Yidu Mansion and passed through many towns, he found that after decades of rule of the Jin State, the local people no longer have much nostalgia for the Great Song Dynasty, and began to accept the rule of the Jin people in their hearts, and the people who hid on the desert island, whether they were pirates or righteous people, they were unwilling to accept the rule of the Jin people, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, they are familiar with the local situation, and it is definitely worth wooing.

"Pass the order, the whole army is ready, early tomorrow morning, take the Shenzhou, take the five sea ships and go straight to the northern islands!"

"Yes!"

A group of fire captains and captains received the order, hurriedly went back to convey the order, and gathered people to prepare.

Yang Congyi didn't let Shen Jin participate in the seizure of the island, he had to stay in his current stronghold, continue to complete the deal reached before Yidu Mansion, and by the way, all the businesses around Yidu Mansion will follow, it is naturally better to expand some, it doesn't matter if you don't expand, the most important thing is to maintain a good relationship and lay the foundation, after all, they are not just here this time.

Shenzhou and five sea ships set off early in the morning, headed north with a tailwind, and arrived at Daqin Island around noon.

The sea ship escorted Shenzhou around the island for half a circle, and then put up a large flag and docked in a bay sheltered from the wind and waves in the west, waiting for the other party to come to negotiate.

The formation of the fleet is very large, and it is impossible for the people on the island not to see it, this is their territory, once an outsider approaches, they will inevitably be vigilant, close to observe, and find out the other party's intentions.

Half an hour later, Yang Congyi ordered the Jingwu army to shout to the island.

"Brother on the island, listen, we are a fleet from the south, passing through here, we want to borrow the island for use, please come out and discuss!"

After shouting dozens of times, he stopped.

Another half hour passed, and there was still no movement on the island, that is, no one could be seen, and no response was heard.

"My lord, it seems that they have no intention of attaching, should we kill them now?" An elite military captain on the Shenzhou held a long knife in his hand and was eager to try.

"No hurry, wait. This island is not small, and it is full of trees, and once you land on the island to fight, you don't know how much time it will take. Yang Congyi spoke up to stop it.

Then he was lucky and shouted: "I am an official of the Great Song Dynasty, and I am leading a team to pass through here, and I want to borrow the precious land. If you are the people of the Great Song Dynasty, you will come to meet on the ship, whether you belong to the Great Song Dynasty, you are in charge, if you are not the people of the Great Song Dynasty, you do not want to belong to the Great Song Dynasty, and you will not stay on the island! ”

The sound shook the mountains and fields, and it was several miles away.

About a quarter of an hour later, several figures appeared in the flotilla's field of vision, slowly walking towards the shore where the flotilla had docked.

When they got closer, the people on the boat found that they were carrying blades with them, and when they saw that the other party was not good, they immediately became agitated, and the opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions was finally coming!

Who knows, Yang Congyi ordered again, no one can get off the boat without an order, let alone move lightly! If there is disobedience, military law will deal with it!

They did not dare not listen to Yang Congyi's words, and hundreds of soldiers were stopped on the boat, and they could only wait and see the changes in the situation, hoping to have a chance to make meritorious contributions.

The four people who came out of the island stopped more than 20 feet away from the sea.

"I and other brothers are hundreds of people, unwilling to be governed by Jin*, living on a desert island for many years, today I finally see someone from the court, my brothers are very happy, but I don't know the name of the adult, where does he work?" One of them shouted loudly to the Shenzhou docked on the beach.

"The official's surname is Yang, his name is Congyi, he served in the Great Song Dynasty Huiyi Department, commanded more than 8,000 people in the forbidden army and the escort army, and supported the affairs of the Huiyi Department. Since you are righteous people who are not ruled by the Jin people and are stranded on a desert island, why don't you go to the ship and talk about it? Yang Congyi responded loudly.

The man was silent for a moment, and then asked, "I don't know why Lord Yang came to the north?" ”

"Without him, the Hui Yi Office is responsible for the return of the imperial court, connecting the north, the east, the South and the West, exchanging goods, and communicating with each other. This time I came to the north in exchange for cattle, sheep and horses, which are in short supply in the south. The sea is uncertain and risky, but this island is just sheltered from the wind. If you are interested in having a deep talk and returning to the Great Song Dynasty, you may wish to go to the ship to talk in detail. In order to gain the trust of the other party, Yang Congyi did not hide too much and told him bluntly.

"If Lord Yang is really an official of the imperial court, we are willing to join us." The leader replied in a loud voice, listening to what he meant, still very suspicious of the identity of the fleet.

"That's fine, if you are willing to return to the Great Song Dynasty, Yang can make the decision to let you and others join the Huiyi Guard Army and eat the imperial court's food." Yang Congyi didn't mind their suspicions, after all, they had been on the island for a long time, and if it was easy to trust others, I am afraid that they would not be able to survive on the island.

Faced with the benefits promised by Yang Congyi, those people were obviously moved, and after a short discussion, they slowly walked towards the boat.

"Pick them up."

Yang Congyi gave an order, and the guards immediately moved, lowered the bridge, walked down the coast, and answered under the boat.

After a while, the four people on the opposite side came to the beach, and their faces could be seen clearly.

One of them was older, about forty or fifty years old, and the other three were younger, one in his forties, and the other two in their twenties and thirties, all dressed in coarse cloth and straw sandals.

"Blades can't be on board!"

After the four of them approached Shenzhou very vigilantly, they suddenly heard the shouts of the guards on the shore, and immediately stopped, and their vigilance was even greater.

"Isn't it that you've been on the island for too long, and you don't understand these rules?" Seeing that they didn't seem to mean to put down their blades as they said, the fire commander immediately shouted and asked.

The faces of the four changed drastically, and they suddenly became more nervous.

After a few breaths, the older man turned to the other three and said, "Put down the sword, Lord Yang is an official of the imperial court, and he can still deceive me and other grass people!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he threw the knife in his hand to the ground.

After a little hesitation, the other three finally threw their swords on the ground.

"Get on the boat, Lord Yang has been waiting for a long time!" The fire captain took a step back and got out of the way of the way to get onto the bridge.

The four of them were speechless, and they all walked to the bridge step by step with nervous expressions.

Yang Congyi stood with his hands in his hands, saw the four people on the deck of the Shenzhou, looked at everyone, and asked with a slight smile: "What do you think of this Shenzhou?" ”

The eldest man hurriedly withdrew his quietly glancing gaze, raised his hand and clenched his fist and replied: "As big as a mountain, as stable as flat ground!" ”

Yang Congyi laughed and said: "This Shenzhou has been to dozens of countries in the South and Western Oceans, and everyone thinks it is huge. ”

"My surname is Yang, and I am the official envoy of the Hui Yi Department, and I am in charge of the return of the imperial court. Now that you have boarded the ship, you must have the intention to return to the Great Song Dynasty and return to the Yi fleet. Tell us a little bit about the island and where you came from. ”

"Yes, Lord Yang. At present, there are more than 110 people on this island, all of whom have been brought from Dengzhou and Yidu Fuyi one after another in the past few decades. It is not easy to make a living on a desert island, and the people who come out have to get together, one is to help each other, and the other is to avoid being bullied by outsiders. I've been living on the island for more than 20 years, and I'm an early adopter of the island, and I'm now an old man. After so many years, we also want to return to the Great Song Dynasty, but we have never seen anyone from the imperial court again, and now that the adults are here, we are willing to hand over this island to the imperial court! ”
