For the first time, the sailors of the Liao Kingdom left the harbor at night and in such a tense state, and sailed away from the coast in two by two. When the ships entered the deep water, they found a fleet of ships coming at them from the darkness.

The main force of the Tao Lin is a large ship of more than 1,000 materials, loaded with heavy ballistas and trebuchets, and the attack power is much stronger than that of small clippers. The Liao ships are all in twos and threes, and some are simply alone, and the three large fleets under Tao Lin can form an absolute advantage every time, surrounding the Liao ships and beating each other.

By dawn, the sea surface of the Xingshan Army was covered with black smoke and the sun was obscured, the shore was covered with stranded and beach-grabbing ships, and the water was full of burning wreckage, floating corpses, and struggling sailors, and less than 200 of the more than 500 large and medium-sized Liaoguo ships that were originally moored here could still float on the water.

These ships were spared because the sailors on these ships did not have time to return to the ships to anchor and set sail, and they hid in places where the Taurim fires could not be set on fire. But the frightened Liao no longer dared to go to sea, and could only watch as the Song burned the ships or dragged them behind them with cables.

Yeluyi, who rushed back from Qianzhou overnight, paused on the shore first. After a long time, he asked, "Where is Qi Deyu?" ”

It took a long time for someone to report: "After the attack last night, Qi deployed to board the ship to meet the enemy, probably because of the lack of bad luck." ”

Ye Luyi sighed heavily: "It's a pity that I didn't listen to Qi Deyu's words at the beginning. It's all over now! ”

He's got a knife in his heart, because it's not just a fleet's problem. In order to cross the sea invasion, they have loaded tens of thousands of loads of grain and grass on the ship, and now they have also destroyed it.

In fact, Qi Deyu is on the Taolin boat now. Last night, under the pretext of meeting the enemy, after boarding the ship, he hung up the light ball signal and commanded a sea ship to go straight into the deep sea and rush into the encirclement of the Song ship. It was almost a night's fighting, the only broadside battle fought. As a result, most of the Liao sailors were captured, and Qi Deyu also saw Tao Lin, who sent him into the Liao State.

After the Song people dealt with the last few Liao ships on the sea that were still intact, they began to unscrupulously salvage the Liao sailors who fell into the water under the complicated eyes of the Liao people on the shore.

This is not Tao Lin's kindness, but sending these Liao sailors to Beihai Island, which is a rare human resource.

Because the court is soft-boned, Tao Lin's fleet has always been a "pirate", and it is estimated that even if such a battle is won, the court will only secretly give a little reward because it is afraid that the Liao State will know the inside story. So if you want to get rich, you still have to rely on yourself. In the eyes of the maritime merchants and those on Tamna Island, the Liao sailors fluttering in the water are piles of copper coins, how can they let go?

Watching those self-proclaimed pirates pick up the sailors and soldiers who fell into the water, and then walk away, Yeluyi was in tears - when did the invincible Great Khitan in the world suffer such humiliation? But he could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything, because he already understood that the sea was the world of the Song people. After the shame, he was secretly glad in his heart: fortunately he did not let the 20,000 soldiers and their horses on the ship, otherwise the loss would have been even more appalling.

The "pirates" led by Tao Lin also ignored the fatigue of the fierce battle for more than ten hours, and worked until dark before returning and leaving, and each ship was full of prisoners. Although they were still fighting to the death just now, as long as these Liao people were fished onto the ship, the "pirates" still took good care of the captives, at least there was no shortage of food and drink - in the future, they were still expected to be strong laborers, how could they starve?

A few days later, the news of the collapse of the Liao State Navy Division reached Bianliang. Although the Great Song court still did not admit its relationship with the "pirates", so it did not celebrate in a big way, but many officials who learned the inside story still reveled for several days in private.

This news was later reported to Li Buqi, who had returned to Guangzhou. Li Buqi fell to the ground with a stone in his heart, but at the same time, he found that the situation in the Great Song Dynasty was very good, and the affairs of Guangnan and Jiaozhi were arranged by himself, but at this time, his position, as well as the affairs of Guangnan and Jiaozhi, were a little dangerous.

Nong Zhigao has Di Qing chasing and killing, and Di Qing's ability is not doubtful.

The development of production in Guangnan is handled by Wang Han and Xiao Gu. Li Buren's performance saved the two from dismissal, and the performance appraisals in the past few years must be excellent, although it is unlikely that they will be promoted again, but there is still a chance to stay up to this position and return to their hometowns. The two naturally don't need to whip themselves up, hoping to govern Liangguang into a treasure land and leave a name for themselves in history.

The affairs of Liangguang account for half of them. Now all the barbarians who are close to Jiaozhi have gone to Jiaozhi to catch slaves, and many of the barbarians who are not close to Jiaozhi have been hired by the government to level the land and cultivate fields, and they all have money to make, and there are many fewer conflicts with the Han people. Li Buqi also played Su Xuanzhi Yongzhou, and was also in charge of Guangxi barbarian affairs. Su Mian is an old friend of the barbarians, and with him, Li Buqi's plan against the barbarians will be quietly but firmly advanced.

Now encouraged by Li Buqi's series of victories over Jiaozhi, the imperial court has gradually become more active in the idea of bringing the large granary of the Red River Delta under the control of the Great Song Dynasty. The imperial court agreed to Li Buqi's motion, and ordered the establishment of the "Annan Army" on the territory of Zhenyuanzhai and Weiyuanzhai, and appointed Xiao Gu, the former governor of Panyu, as the Zhijun, one of its tasks was to find the descendants of the emperors of the Wu Dynasty, Ding Dynasty, and Li Dynasty in Jiaozhi to put them on the throne, and at the same time continue to pursue Li Dezheng.

After Li Dezheng fled from Thang Long Mansion, his sons withdrew their troops from the northern front, were pursued by the Guangxi Mountain Barbarian Alliance, and were defeated, and then there was infighting for the position of crown prince. Although Li Dezheng returned to Thang Long Mansion, but Thang Long Mansion has been robbed by Li Bu only an empty shell, in the south there is a city to attack and occupy the land that was originally robbed by Jiaozhi, in the north there are mountain barbarians constantly harassed, in the east there is Xiao Gu eyeing the tiger, in addition to the infighting, that small court has been stormy, not to be troubled. Li did not give up, but wanted to suggest that Xiao Gu should not destroy the Li family in a hot head, but to keep them as a cover for war.

In order to strengthen the strength of the Annan army, Li Buqi announced to the captives that Di Qing had captured from Nong Zhigao that as long as they were willing to go to Jiaozhi Tuntian, they would be able to get fields in Jiaozhi after five years, cultivate them for generations, and also serve the Jiaozhi people. Although the captives had been engaged in relatively safe and easy work, such as leveling the fields, they were always kept in custody in the hope of being freed. In addition, they originally had more or less enmity with the Jiaozhi people, and the Jiaozhi people naturally couldn't ask for it. So Li Buqi asked them to swear allegiance to the Great Song Dynasty and sent them to the Annan army as a servant army in Tuntian.

This is seven or eight thousand people, and when you get to Cochin, you will catch some Cochin women, and in two years you will have a bunch of children, which will be tens of thousands. At the same time, the Jiaozhi people were constantly taken captive to Liangguang and Qiongzhou, and then attracted the Song people to Tuntian in the Red River Delta on preferential terms, and the population composition of the Red River Delta would soon undergo great changes, paving the way for the Great Song Dynasty to annex Jiaozhi.

The imperial court now also has enough strength to attract the Song people to Jiaozhi. Because of the completion of Zhenyuanzhai, the Song army gained a firm foothold on the coast, and the Jiaozhi army was no longer able to launch a large-scale counteroffensive, and the Jiaozhi slaves were continuously transported to Liangguang. Slaves could be used without counting losses, so large tracts of farmland with water conservancy facilities were being reclaimed. The previously built farmland has already made people see great benefits, and Li Bu auctioned off the treasures he got back from Jiaozhi this time, and also auctioned off some of the newly built farmland, in exchange for real money.

Now that the Great Song Dynasty has no visible threat, and Guangnan has enough money and food and an overwhelming military advantage over Jiaozhi, everything is very good, and the Great Song Dynasty lacks a Li Buqi and cannot see any loss for the time being. Some people can pick peaches unscrupulously, and the party has no scruples about fighting against differences.

It is estimated that someone will be in a hurry to drive him away soon, and at this time, in order to start and finish the matter of Guangnan and Jiaozhi, he can only keep his eyes on the ground. Fortunately, now Li Buqi has arranged suitable people for the work of Guangnan and Jiaozhi, as long as he Li Buqi can stabilize the emperor, occupy the position of the transfer envoy of the two Guangzhous, and ensure that the two Guang will not change the sky, then the affairs in the south will start and end well.

As a result, the officials in Quang Nam soon saw that Li Buqi had entrusted all his work to his subordinates, and that he had spent his whole day wandering, visiting orchards to see newly planted lemon trees, and to the Institute of Navigation to see the newly developed ship with skews and the shape of an Arabian bow...... It's so easy.
