Chapter 43 Immigrating to Dongshan Island

Before the enemy could utter the word, a long black arrow, silently burrowed out of the night, plunged into his throat, and cut the exclamation in his chest.

After puffing up, the pirate tilted his head and fell to the ground, and the companions on night duty in the distance were still talking about how many large gems and agate had been snatched from the beautiful lady who had been on the ship, and had no idea that death had come with the night.

All the boats were docked, and more than two hundred soldiers rushed to the dock with their equipment, and seven or eight pirates who were drunk thought they were dreaming, and when the cold steel knives were put up to their necks, they realized that the dream had gone too far.

Quickly occupied the dock dock, Zhao Tianyou immediately interrogated the pirates captured alive, learned the information on Dongshan Island for the first time, and after getting the confessions of the three pirates, he had to admit that his luck was simply too good.

Since the defeat and death of Han Liutao, Dongshan Island has not fallen and scattered, because most of the sailors who escaped were sailors who drove boats, and for them they were just driving boats to live, and whoever was the boss would not be unemployed. There are more than 300 old and weak people on the island, some are wounded and disabled pirates, and some are plundered laborers, who have cultivated hundreds of acres of ripe fields behind the mountains, and are responsible for supplying the island's grain and vegetables.

At that time, the small leader stationed in the pirates, the real remnants of the combat force under his command were only fifty or sixty people, and they were not even satisfied with the two clippers, and they never went to sea to work after the defeat. Instead, it is the resources on the island and the warships that have not lost much, waiting for the price to look for a powerful receiver, of course, the first target is not the two neighbors who are eyeing each other, but the contact is Lu Tianhao, the bandit leader on the ground in Fuzhou.

Why don't the main island and Xishan Island take advantage of this opportunity? The main island naturally won't be tempted, this land was originally given up by him, how could he grab it back. And Xishan Island wants but doesn't dare to stretch out his hand, if he even occupies Dongshan Island, faintly forming an encirclement of the main island, it will not be far from death, and he will immediately become the target of the sailor's attack.

Splitting and fighting separately is the effect that the Black Tiger Banner on the main island wants, he has Pu Shougeng and the sailor as backers, and he doesn't want any of them to be bigger, so the bandit leaders of Xishan Island will not peep at the clippers on Dongshan Island in order to protect themselves.

The small leader went to Fuzhou with dozens of men, and there were only more than ten pirates on the island, how could they resist the attack of the village soldiers, and the camp defenders surrendered with shouts without a few rounds. The remaining dozens of sailors would not participate in the war at all, so soon the Meng family's village soldiers took control of the entire island.

Dongshan Island is larger than the other two islands, and the mountains are also very flat, and the front of the pier is also open, which is difficult to defend from a military point of view, which is why Dongshan Island is the preferred target of the government's anti-bandit activities.

Zhao Tianyou quickly made a decision, except for doubling the moon silver for the sailors who drove the boat, all the other people on the island moved to the Mengjia fishing village, and the thousands of people from the Mengjia fishing village were transferred to the island to live.

The old and weak soldiers of the island and the plundered laborers dreamed of going ashore, and those who had left their homes were even more so eager to hear that they were going to be relocated to land.

The dozen or so clippers in the dock were the biggest improvement in strength, and after dozens of sailors were dispersed, they were assigned to different ships and mixed with the people from the Meng family's fishing village. While leaving half of the men and horses to garrison at the dock and build defensive bunkers, beware of the sudden return of the pirate ship that had gone to Fuzhou, the other ships sailed and anchored, and sailed back to the Mengjia fishing village with countless captives.

When such a large group of clippers arrived at the wharf of Mengjia Yuzhai, they frightened the soldiers guarding the wharf, thinking that the pirates of Dongshan Island had come to take revenge, and almost used all the gunpowder arrows and thunder.

The sudden change surprised and delighted the people of the Meng family's fishing village, happy that they had won another victory with zero casualties, and worried that the pirates who had been transferred had nowhere to settle and mixed with the original inhabitants, and that feeling of distrust had made life a mess.

In the front hall of the Meng family ancestral hall, the one-eyed old man Mencius couldn't smile bitterly, the current Zhao Tianyou has a higher prestige in the village than him, especially in the hearts of young people, Zhao Tianyou is like the reincarnation of the arrow god, and he already has a considerable personal charm.

"Sect Leader Zhao, are you forcing me to move? Or do you want to me off this old bone, you young people are so free without control? ”

Zhao Tianyou sat opposite and just laughed, pouring wine for the old man vigorously, the freshly fried small yellow croaker was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, as long as the umami in his mouth rushed to his mind, he had never tasted it before.

"Old man, this fish is only available from the edge of the reef of Dongshan Island, you eat two more, we can't eat it if we don't take Dongshan Island!"

"Don't you take a detour for me, okay? You must have something to hide from me, so just tell me if it's okay, I'm buried in this soil to my neck, are you still afraid that I will leak the news? Although Mencius Yan is really getting old, his mind is still very clear, Zhao Tianyou resettled the people on Dongshan Island, and he felt that Zhao Tianyou was planning a big event.

The matter has come to this point, and if you don't explain the situation to Mencius strictly, there are about one-third of the old people who will definitely not move. But it can't be said too clearly, that will frighten the old men of the Meng family, don't care if it's true or false, it will affect the arrangement of things.

"Old man, last time I went to Quanzhou City to buy bows and arrows, I got a message that the Mongol soldiers in the north are attacking too fiercely, and they will soon reach Lin'an! Zhu Qing, the general of the naval division of Chongming Island, has surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, and has taken more than 600 naval warships as a vote, and is now the general of the Yuan Dynasty's naval army, and will soon be sent from the waterway soldiers to Lin'an. Zhao Tianyou paused, took a sip of food and drank a glass of wine, and observed Mencius's reaction after listening.

As expected, after listening to Zhao Tianyou's words, Mencius was stunned, digested the meaning of these words, tilted his head and asked cautiously: "What the head of the sect said means that my Great Song Dynasty court is about to ......."

"It's not that serious at the moment, but I think it's better to be cautious, we have become enemies with Jiang Gongzi in the city, if we still guard this dock, not only will it not be good at all, but we will also suffer the revenge of that Jiang Gongzi in the future.

Now that we have the gold left by Han Liutao, and we have just gotten more than a dozen clippers, it is better to take this opportunity to move them all away, sell this dock to Jiang Gongzi, and exchange it for a large number of materials, beware of the future war, we are fully prepared to fly away. ”

This time, Mencius Yan was really stunned, and that one eye stared at Zhao Tianyou for a long time, and only after a while did he ask: "Is Dongshan Island also a temporary place to stay?" Then where can we escape, where can we live? ”

"Yes, my purpose is very simple, I hope that more than 1,000 people will live in peace."
