Li Buqi is not ready to wait for Li Changjie to think about his problems, the reason why he grinds his teeth with Li Changjie is just to like the pleasure of killing people, and he wants all the enemies of the Celestial Empire to die even if they die, and they must die with remorse for offending the Celestial Empire.

So after he asked, he pointed to the Jiaozhi people who were fluttering in the water and said, "I led the Jiaozhi naval army to the sea to annihilate it just so that it would be more convenient to capture the prisoners." Do you know why I need captives? Because I need labor, like that quarry, it needs a lot of labor. Do you know? One of the things I found when I read history books is that since the Han Dynasty, there have been fewer and fewer glorious projects like the Grand Canal and the Great Wall in China. I think this is because the common people occupy an increasingly high position in the politics of the state, and the rulers of the country no longer dare to use the power of the people like slaves. ”

"This is also a kind of social progress, but the development of the country often requires some extremely huge projects, and this progress hinders the development of the country. Improving the organizational capacity of the country and adopting new technologies can also be done within the reach of the people, but it is not an overnight task to improve the organizational capacity of the country and adopt new technologies. Now the development of Quang Nam urgently needs to build water conservancy, open roads, and build seaports, and I can't wait. ”

"What to do? Aren't you going to fight with the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty can capture prisoners. The Great Song Dynasty is not charitable, and he can't raise these captives for nothing. Moreover, you Jiaozhi people have committed crimes against the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and according to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, you captives should have been forced to do hard labor. I believe that few people will have objections to the use of the cochin captives to death. In the next few years, the Jiaozhi captives will build canals, roads, towns and wharves for Guangnan in the Great Song Dynasty, and of course they will die in large numbers, and there will be not enough people, so I will go to Jiaozhi to arrest them. The Great Song Dynasty's crusade against Jiaozhi has been issued, which condemns the Li family as a usurper, so Li Dezheng does not return the throne to the Ding family or the Li family, and this battle will continue until there are no more people left in Jiaozhi. When there is no one in Jiaozhi, the place of Jiaozhi will be divided between the Great Song Dynasty and the countries surrounding Jiaozhi. In five years, Cochin will be completely transformed into a historical term. Hehe, but you shouldn't be able to see it. ”

Li Changjie finally couldn't listen to it anymore, he roared angrily: "You are talking nonsense! You can't even defeat a group of mountain people from Nong Zhigao, how can you carve up the Jiaozhi country? You are delusional! ”

Li Buqi said: "Of course, you can say that I am delusional, so I invited you to come here to see how Da Song hanged Jiaozhi." I'm not afraid to leak the news on this ship, so I'll tell you that this time my destination is Cochin Coast, Cat Ba Island, and you can see what I do. ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and asked Li Changjie to be dragged back to the cabin to be detained. After all the Jiaozhi people who had fallen into the sea were caught on the ship, Li Buqi ordered the fleet to sail slowly to the southeast. Bai Pinghai didn't understand again, and asked hesitantly: "Envoy, why are you sailing to the southeast?" Is this going to be a return home? ”

Li Buqi said: "How can you let go of Jiaozhi people casually? It's just that we are fighting big and small, and we are bound to win, so we should strive for a complete victory, and we must not give Jiaozhi people a chance to take advantage of it. Today's Jiaozhi people have suffered a fiasco, and they already know that we are strong, and if they want to turn over the book, they may take the risk of finding our fleet at night and attacking it. We will not take this risk, but retreat a little so that the Cochin people will not be able to find us, and then we will go and destroy the remaining Cochin army early tomorrow morning. ”

Bai Pinghai hurriedly said: "The envoy has no last resort, this is the decisive victory in the strategy...... Thousands of miles away. ”

Li Buqi shook his head and said: "You don't use this idiom appropriately, you still need to learn more." Now it's fine, just let me see, how many words have you learned this month? ”

Bai Pinghai didn't expect to make a sycophant and lead him out of the examination school, so he had a bitter face, so he had to read his newly learned words to Li Buqi.

After Li Bu gave up the examination and finished Bai Pinghai, each ship also reported the number of prisoners. In total, more than 1,500 prisoners, plus those who were killed and drowned, wiped out about 2,000 people in this battle.

In the night, when the moon was scarce, the experienced leaders guided the ships to turn north in the middle of the night, and then, when the sun rose, turned west along the coast in search of the Cochin ships. But the whole coast was very quiet, there was nothing, until the port of Qinzhou was found, the harbor of Qinzhou was already empty, but thousands of Jiaozhi infantry found that the Great Song fleet appeared and shouted on the beach to the sea. Li did not give up or be polite, let the clipper close to the sea, and used ballistas and trebuchets to send a shower of fire, and when they boarded, the Jiaozhi people were in a mess, leaving some charred corpses to run away.

Obviously, the Jiaozhi Sailor fled after getting the news. But it's not a pity that Li doesn't give up, this time he was supposed to copy the Jiaozhi people's home. After driving away the Jiaozhi infantry army, the Great Song fleet continued to sail southwest, chasing along the coast, but they didn't expect to go not far just now, and they encountered a Jiaozhi fleet head-on.

The captains of the leading clippers were too nervous and immediately beat them around, only to find that these cochin boats had no combat effectiveness at all, so they stopped attacking and capturing the crew. It turned out that this was a convoy of Cochin people transporting military rations, and it crashed headlong without any warning.

There are many coastal bays here, and Li Bu gave up letting the clippers go bay by bay, and when he saw that all the fishing boats of the Jiaozhi people were caught, the fishermen were taken prisoner and detained, and he also encountered a fleet of Jiaozhi people transporting grain, and all of them were included in the bag.

In the early morning of the third day, the five sailing clippers who were searching for the Cochin boats, led by Bai Pinghai, found a fleet of Cochin people in the bay between Mong Cai and Yongsitsu Island, and the number seemed to be quite large, so the five clippers rushed over and set fire to the wind. The Jiaozhi people were completely defenseless, and at once more than a dozen ships caught fire, and the other ships hurriedly lifted anchor and scattered offshore.

Seeing the fireworks go up, more clippers crossed the waterway between Mong Cai and Yongsitsu Island to reinforce the five boats of the forward. But at this time, some of the Cochin people also reacted, and some of the Cochin boats pounced on the Song Army's vanguard fleet, but the poor communication of the Cochin people and Bai Pinghai's slippery head made the Cochin people's counterattack come to naught.

After two battles, the sailors in the Great Song fleet had gained some experience, and they were much more courageous when they saw the great power of the ballistas and fire oil bombs, and now they dared to wait for the Jiaozhi ship to get close to within fifty or even thirty meters before firing fire fire bombs with trebuchets. Fifty meters is almost a straight line for a fire oil bomb thrown by a trebuchet, and even if there are waves and turbulent waves, it is still eight points sure that it will hit a sea ship ten or twenty meters long, three to six meters wide, and with a tall sail.

At first, the Cochin boats that pounced on the Great Song Clippers were relentlessly attacked by ballistae and trebuchets, and by the time other Cochin boats swarmed in hindsight, the five clippers had turned into the narrow waterway. At this time, five ships blocked the waterway, so that dozens of cochin boats could not rush out.

The lookouts of the main fleet here saw the black smoke rising into the sky on the other side of Yongshi Island, heard the continuous sound of cannons, and hurriedly told them that there was a big battle over there. Li Buqi has arranged people to trade in Jiaozhi over the years, not just to make money, but the terrain in this area has been figured out. Now the man in charge of the sea route was holding a chart and told Li Buqi that the waterway south of Yongshi Island was relatively open, so Li Buqi sent twelve sailing fast boats to go around Yongshi Island to participate in the battle.

When these boats appeared behind the Cochin fleet, which was all focused on the waterway between Mong Cai and Yongsitsu Island, the Cochin people suffered another big loss. However, there was no telegraph at that time, and Li Buqi did not know that there were sixty or seventy Jiaozhi ships in this bay, and there were still fewer than twelve clippers. When the Cochins turned the bow of the ship and rushed over, the roundabout fleet had to retreat and was driven out of the bay.

However, this time Li Buqi knew that the bay should be the main force of the Jiaozhi naval army, and immediately sent all the sailing and oars clippers out. The battle lasted until dark, and Li Buqi was worried about the scuffle, so he withdrew his troops and stayed away from Yongshi Island. When the fleet returned to Eishi Island the next day, they found that there were only a few damaged Cochins in the entire harbor, and none of them were intact. It seems that the Cochin Sailor has run away again.

But it didn't matter, Li Buqi thought that he would definitely encounter the Jiaozhi sailors at the final destination of this voyage, and immediately ordered the fleet to attack only the mouth of the Red River along the outer side of the island, capturing the Jiaozhi fishermen along the way, and several bands of pirates also rushed to the pirates to capture the Jiaozhi men in the fishing village.

Two days later, the flotilla came to Ha Long Bay. This tourist attraction in later generations is very fucked up in Li Buqi's opinion. There are too many small islands and reefs, and the sea surface is too fragmented, which is not conducive to the maneuver of large ships. Li Buqi didn't want to use the current undertrained sailors to fight against the Jiaozhi people, so he had to put away the idea of continuing to hang the Jiaozhi sailors. However, the thief does not go empty, and Li does not give up and must not come in vain. In addition to sending a fleet of clippers around the mouth of the Red River, he also landed on Cat Ba Island from the east side, and spent a day surveying the terrain and determining where to build the castle in the future. All the Jiaozhi light and strong people on Cat Ba Island were also caught on the ship.

When looking at Cat Ba Island, which was gradually fading out of sight, Li Bu said in his heart: "Next year, I will definitely come back to add a landscape to this beautiful island that will go down in history." ”
