Chapter 1382: Picking Peaches
Anxiously waiting.
Outside the Lion City, a fleet finally came.
Huang Zhong was wearing Mingguang armor, wearing a phoenix winged hood, his hand pressed the horizontal knife on his waist, and there was a double plug hanging from his waist on the other side, a strong bow and a pot of feather arrows.
Five large treasure ships were at the head, followed by dozens of smaller merchant ships.
The treasure ships in front of them were obviously the armed merchant ships of the South China Sea Fleet, and their ships were equipped with magic cannons and lathe crossbows. Not to mention, each ship also carried two hundred elite escort soldiers.
This is the treasure of the South China Sea Fleet, and it was directly sent over by Gojo, which shows that this time is really unusual.
Huang Zhong came to reinforce Lion City on the order of Niu Chaoen, the escort of the South China Sea Fleet.
Li Shimin wanted to lead the pirates to attack Lion City, and this matter was reported to Niu Chaoen, the escort of the South China Sea Fleet, and Niu Chaoen acquiesced. But Niu Chaoen didn't plan to intervene directly, but no one could have imagined it, thinking that Li Shimin was just taking the opportunity to grab a handful, and he might not even succeed.
But who would have expected that Li Shimin not only succeeded, but also captured the king alive.
Not to mention, Li Shimin actually stayed in Lion City.
Now Li Shimin openly established the name of Great Qin Linyi County in Lion City, and also recruited troops and horses, and set up three regiments of 6,000 people.
Niu Chaoen can no longer be regarded as invisible.
In fact, even Li Jing, the pacification envoy of Lingnan, had already directly come forward to inquire about Niu Chaoen, after all, no matter what, Li Shimin's men and horses had always been attached to their South China Sea fleet.
Previously, Li Shimin obtained a privateering license from Niu Chaoen, allowing him to plunder Linyi Zhenla in the Kunlun Sea area of Linyi, Funan.
However, the fundamental reason why Niu Chaoen directly sent five big treasure ships of a thousand elite guards was that Jinyi Wei informed them of an important piece of information.
After Li Shimin captured the Lion City, he got more than 100,000 catties of gold and countless money and food, and the money in the entire Lion City was worth as much as 20 million or 30 million yuan.
With such a large amount of money, even Niu Chaoen, who is the escort of the South China Sea Fleet, can't help but be shocked.
After confirming the news, he immediately dispatched five large treasure ships and sent a thousand fleet guards south.
From Nanhai Port to Lion City, it took 12 days at sea to arrive.
Huang Zhong stood on the bow deck of the ship, very proud.
As a former captain of the Northern Ya Forbidden Army, although he now said that he quit the forbidden army and transferred to the Royal South China Sea Fleet, his treatment is better than in the past.
In the past, he was a commander in charge of a battalion of 500 people, but now he is a deputy commander in charge of 1,000 people.
Niu Chaoen's task to him was very clear, after arriving in Lion City, he would first transport back the hundreds of thousands of catties of gold in the city.
Although their South China Sea Fleet now has hundreds of sea-going ships, and the routes are getting farther and farther, the annual profit is only a few million, and this lion city actually has so much gold and silver, how can it be spared.
Pressing the handle of the knife with his hand, he was momentarily complacent.
The Lingnan pacification envoy was very concerned about Li Shimin's capture of Lion City, but he was not concerned about the gold in the city, but at present, Rinan County and Sunset County were at war with Linyi State, and the scale of the war was also rising.
At this time, Li Shimin took advantage of the weakness to break the capital of Linyi and captured the king of Linyi, which Li Jing thought was a great thing. If the situation here is good, Li Jing feels that he can take advantage of the situation to set up Linyi County, even if he only defends one city, he can mobilize and contain many Linyi troops.
Then the situation in the north will change dramatically.
The reason why the north is reluctant to end the war is because although the war is escalating now, the Qin army has only invested the strength of two counties and has not achieved too many practical victories.
Otherwise, the people of Linyi will only think that the Qin people are easy to bully, and they will definitely make a comeback next time.
In Li Jing's plan, there is naturally no plan to destroy the Linyi Kingdom now.
But this time to start a war with Lin Yi, you must definitely have the upper hand, and even have to beat Lin Yi hard. Therefore, for Lion City, his plan is to contain and coerce Lin Yi with this, and finally make Lin Yi unable to take care of it, and after another decent victory on the northern front, he can force Lin Yi to ask for a truce.
Maybe in the end, Lion City will be handed back to Lin Yi, but now this is a favorable bargaining chip.
Li Jing appointed Huang Zhong as the inspector of Linyi County, and as for Li Shimin, Li Jing considered that he was originally a county magistrate of Nantang County, so this time he was awarded the county magistrate of Xianglin County, Linyi County. Xianglin County, naturally that is, Linyi County, is also the city attached to Guo, in fact, Xianglin County is also Linyi County, and it is also in Lion City.
The merchant ships behind the treasure ship were all merchants who came from Nanhai Port and Jiaozhi Port, and they heard that Li Shimin had broken the Lion City, the capital of Linyi, and they didn't know that there were great business opportunities here.
So they all hurried to pick up a leak.
After the city was broken, the army had too many things in their hands, all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, even silk brocade forging, and all kinds of spices, etc., and there must be a lot of them, of course, the army had no use in holding these things, they could not eat or drink, and they had to be exchanged for money in the end.
Merchants are most willing to do this kind of business, even if the front line will be a little dangerous, but the profits are also great.
Not to mention, after the city is broken, there will be a lot of slaves, and this is another big deal.
Whoever can arrive at the first time will be able to make first-hand profits.
When they came all the way, they were worried that Li Shimin would not be able to hold on to quit the Lion City, and then they would lose a huge opportunity, a capital, how many business opportunities there were, even if it was a random official's house, there were countless good things to buy and sell in it.
Far away, there are ships to meet you in Dazhanhai.
Knowing that the South China Sea Fleet had finally sent someone, Li Shimin personally came to greet him.
The Black Skull Flag Treasure Ship stopped in front of the South China Sea Fleet under the Shark Flag.
Li Shimin changed his dinghy to Huang Zhong's boat and boarded the merman's treasure ship.
When the two met, Huang Zhong was not polite, and directly took out the two orders of Li Jing and Niu Chaoen.
"Lingnan pacification envoy Li Tiance ordered, from now on, I will inspect the school Linyi County Taishou, and transfer Li Shimin, the Cheng of Nantang County, to Xianglin County."
Li Shimin bowed his head and took the order, with mixed feelings in his heart, in the end, this Lin Yi Taishou still didn't let himself be, even if it was a school inspector, he didn't give it to himself. Fortunately, he didn't transfer himself to leave, and he still gave an Xianglin County order.
Niu Chaoen's order to Li Shimin was very simple.
"Niu Gong ordered you to hand over the eighteen gold medals and eighteen gold medals in the palace of Linyi to a certain person, and immediately send them back to the South China Sea, Niu Gong will transfer Luoyang to the sage, of course, you have a great merit in this matter, and you will also play tomorrow's son together."
For this gold, Li Shimin clearly expected that it would not belong to him, and there was nothing to be dissatisfied with at the moment.
"Huang Gong, the Lion City has prepared a reception banquet, and the fathers, old soldiers, generals, and merchants in the city have been waiting for a long time, please Huang Gong enter the city!"
Huang Zhong stretched out his hand and patted Li Shimin's arm, "In the future, we will guard the same city, you and I don't need to see each other like this, I can call you a good brother, you can call me a brother." ”
