Chapter 085: Patrol

The second thing was the extermination of pirates, and he said it roughly.

For example, how did he get the news that the Fuqing Lin and Liu Erjia were ready to contact pirates to sneak attack the docks and shipyards, and even Xiaocili.

Another example is how Wang Gong contacted the Xinghua Army and the navy of Quanzhou City to sneak attack the pirates to discuss the location, while Xiaocili's own navy went to attack the pirates' lair.

The specific situation of the property, prisoners, and casualties, Cai Dushu took the report summarized by his subordinates in his hand and handed it to Cai Dao. Of course, such a report was also left by Cai Dao himself, and now there are no more than a single person who will fill out this report.

Among them, it also includes Sister Hua, who was trained by Cai Dao himself. She is now not only responsible for managing the adopted children, but also assisting Cai Xi in managing the Cai family's accounts.

Due to the suddenness of the three actions, coupled with the fast speed of the Cai family's sea ships, the Cai family's navy led by Cai One-armed pulled out the nest of these pirates one by one in a very short time. Among them, there are many pirates in their lair, and Cai one-armed ones should be dealt with internally, so the casualty ratio of their own side is relatively low.

Of course, there is also the credit of Cai Duji's old brother when he was a pirate.

1. It was these people who received the hero post of Lin Liu's second family and immediately notified Cai Duarm, which also gave the Cai family the opportunity to prepare for the first time.

2. Most of those who should be the pirates have been sent to the hostile forces for many years.

In this operation to exterminate pirates, the Xinghua Army and the Quanzhou City Bosi made so much effort, and the casualties were naturally higher than their own side. Moreover, these pirates naturally do not go out with their treasures, so they get very little profit. Except for a few broken ships, the heads of the pirate leaders are worth a lot of money.

Cai Dujian is worthy of being an old man for many years, and he took it upon himself to divide the harvested property into three points, the Cai family only took 20%, and the forces of those two sides each took 40% of it. It's a joy for all.

As for the captives in the pirate's lair, those two sides didn't have much interest, except for taking away some strongmen with names and surnames and registered in the official to receive rewards, all of them were left to the Cai family to arrange for themselves.

Those who were indeed taken hostage to the island by pirates, whether they were ordinary people or wealthy businessmen, after being confirmed, the Xinghua Army Zhijun sent people to contact their prefectures and families in their prefectures. Of course, most of these people are men, and most of the women go home shamelessly when they get on the thief ship.

And those pirates, like the first type of spies, were thrown to Weizhou Island by Cai Yijian first.

After the incident, for the crew members on his side, Cai Dujian did not send his reward, but wanted to wait for Cai Dao to come back and send it to him personally.

When Cai Dao heard this, he naturally understood the meaning of why Cai Dujian did this, and did not interrupt the other party's words.

And the third thing is the top priority that Cai Dao explained before - to find Yizhou and draw a chart to Yizhou.

Yizhou, that is, the bend island of later generations. a

"Childe, as you expected, we have found Yizhou!" Cai Duarm said excitedly as he took out a piece of animal skin from his arms and handed it over.

Cai Dao took it and saw that this was a drawing made of lambskin, and the nautical chart drawn on it was quite rough, but, with his own memory, the general location of the Crooked Island in the map of later generations was basically the same as that drawn on the nautical chart. On the chart, the location of three important islands in the Penghu archipelago is even marked.

After Cai Dao finished reading it, he nodded with satisfaction and returned the chart to Cai Duji.

He pondered for a moment and then asked, "I'll just ask you three questions!"

First, when you led the team on the expedition, did you arrange for people to take strict precautions against the Xianyou Wharf and the shipyard?

Second, when leading the team, did you find good seedlings?

Third, after arriving in Yizhou, I made those arrangements! ”

After listening to Gongzi's question, Cai Yijian thought about it carefully, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. The heart said: Childe looked at the problem really sharply, and the first question alone made him suddenly wake up to the fact that he almost made a big mistake.

The heart of harm is indispensable, but the heart of defense is indispensable, the old brother in the past is to give him a message, at that time, Cai Dujian did his best to completely eliminate those hostile pirate forces, and took away all the navies he had cultivated.

At that time, the Xianyou dock and shipyard were like a peerless beauty with only a layer of light veil, if there was a force at that time to understand the reality here, and the greed in their hearts, the entire filial piety might fall into a situation from which they could never recover.

Thinking of this, Cai Duyi hurriedly knelt in front of Cai Dao and said sincerely: "Please also ask Gongzi to punish his subordinates heavily, the Sprinkle family was not thoughtful for a while, and almost caused a monstrous disaster." ”

"It's not entirely your fault, after all, I don't know your brothers, we still have too few people, and what I feared didn't happen. However, as the old saying goes, there is nothing wrong with being careful. This time, if you hadn't cleaned up all the spies on the periphery in advance, even if the rest of the pirates didn't do anything, in addition to Quanzhou, there were still many forces among the maritime merchants in the coastal prefectures and counties of Fujian who coveted our family's belongings, and maybe they would have chosen this opportunity to start. Cai Dao stepped forward to help Cai Duji, and then sat on his small chair, and analyzed the purpose of the entry for Cai Duji.

"That's what Childe said! The subordinates will definitely keep it in mind! Cai Duarm listened carefully to Cai Dao's analysis, while wiping the cold sweat on his head, until Gongzi finished his analysis, he continued the topic just now, and said: "The Sprinkle family has found a few good seedlings in this operation, but unfortunately, they are still too young and have too little experience, and the Sprinkle family is ready to take them out to sea a few more times......"

"Well, you don't need to say anything more about that!" Cai Dao didn't wait for Cai One-armed to finish speaking, so he interrupted him with words: "One-armed grandfather, I won't allow you to continue to go to sea in the future." Too young, inexperienced, but who hasn't been here like this? Your old man is not young now, and Widow Tian is about to give birth to a big fat boy for you, do you want her to be widowed again? ”

How can a person who has galloped on the sea all his life be willing to die of old age on land? When Cai Dao said this, he naturally knew that Cai Duarm was unwilling, but who let this old man put shackles on himself?

Cai Dao naturally wouldn't let this old man be insulated from the sea all of a sudden, which would not only not help the other party's health, but also possibly allow him to die earlier.

So, he continued, "It's not that I'm not going to let you get on the boat, but only in the offshore." The next most important task for you is to focus on training new seafarers and selecting good helpers and leaders from them. You should learn to let go and let those young people open up new territories. ”

"Okay, think about it when you go back, I'm going to inspect the shipyard tomorrow morning! You send someone to inform you first, and don't let those craftsmen have too much wine today. ”
