Chapter 965: Awe
They hurried to join the battlefield, but found that the war was coming to an end, and they didn't need to join the battlefield at all. Liu Liangsan was shocked in his heart, to be honest, he and his fleet did not play a big role in this great battle.
They just followed Zhao Dabeard and fired artillery behind them, originally their artillery was not much, and they were not accurate, although they also caused some damage to Zhao Dabeard and them, but compared to the dense artillery of the imperial court sailors, their artillery was not enough at all.
Liu Liangsan and his subordinates are also as good at broadside combat as the bearded ones, and as a result, there is no room for play at all. The combat power of the naval division of the imperial court is really strong, whether it is long-range combat or melee combat, it is ridiculously strong.
Liu Liangsan couldn't tell what it was like at the moment, he was both happy and excited, but also afraid. He was more afraid in his heart.
Now that he has seen the combat power of the Imperial Court Sailors, he asked himself that even if he does not oppose the water, the four pirates together are not the opponents of the Imperial Court Sailors! There is only one ending, defeat.
So how could he not be afraid in his heart, if it wasn't for Cui Niang's efforts to persuade him to accept Zhao'an, then not only would he not get the official position of Wupin, but he would also die in this naval battle like Zhao Dabeard and them.
How unwilling would he be in that case, how could he be willing to give up Cui Niang, and the child in Cui Niang's belly, if there was no him, how would Cui Niang survive on the island? What kind of tribulations will you go through? It will even be with the child in the bellyγγγγγγ
Such a result really made Liu Liangsan dare not think about it, and now Liu Liangsan really feels what it means to be in awe. I also understood what Cui Niang's mouth meant by the most amazing person in the world.
In the past, Liu Liangsan was more or less proud in his heart, and Lord Qincha must have asked for such a generous reward, because his weight was very sufficient. Now that he has seen the combat power of the imperial court sailors, Liu Liangsan's pride turned into a cold sweat.
The ships quickly cleared the battle, Feng Haisheng continued to receive the flags, and after a while, he said respectfully: "Lord Admiral, this time the suppression of bandits has been successful, Zhao Dabeard and all the pirates they have assembled have been killed, and the coastal waters are one of them!" β
Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "Okay, clean up the mess and prepare to set sail back to Quanzhou, and the governor will celebrate the soldiers of the Navy Division in Quanzhou." β
Zhang Zhijie's face had a calm look, but Xu Sanye, who was standing on the side, had a shocked look on his face, although he also saw that the sailors of the imperial court had the upper hand, but he didn't expect it to be over like this!
The pirates who have been crisscrossing the sea for many years were easily and simply solved by Lord Qincha, which Xu Sanye never expected.
Zhang Zhijie is indeed famous, so Xu Sanye also thinks that Zhang Zhijie will eventually calm the sea, but he didn't expect it to be solved so quickly and so lightly.
In his heart, he believed that in order to pacify the sea, there would definitely be some twists and turns, and even setbacks would occur, and it would take years of preparation and mobilization of a large number of manpower and material resources to finally pacify the sea.
As a result, he took a part of the coastal guard station, then pulled twenty boats from Nanjing, and then made up from among them, and then went directly to the big battle, and then, he won! If it weren't for the perennial dealings with the Xia family's fleet and pirates, Xu Sanye would have thought that they were papier-mΓ’chΓ©.
Even the fleet of the Xia family and the four pirates were so easily solved by Lord Qincha with the fleet, not to mention the fleets of these coastal wealthy families.
It's not enough for each fleet to pull out! At this time, Xu Sanye was very happy in his heart, and he was glad that he came directly to Fuzhou to ask for guilt! I'm glad I didn't make any more small moves.
And in the future, there will be no more small moves, the combat power of the imperial court sailors in the hands of Lord Qincha is too terrifying, and it is impossible to compete at all.
What was the combat power of the sailors before, they coastal wealthy clans knew very well that Lord Qincha simply had the power to turn decay into magic. In particular, Lord Qincha has captured so many ships in two consecutive battles, and the combat power of the imperial navy division is even stronger!
Even without the warships they supported, the strength of the imperial navy could still be improved to a higher level. Xu Sanye was completely suppressed, and in the face of Zhang Zhijie's great authority on land, they were not opponents at all.
At sea, in the face of such a powerful fleet of sailors, their fleet is not an opponent even if they are all put together. Therefore, they can only respect, and in the future, these coastal wealthy clans will have to eat according to the face of Lord Qincha.
As long as these fleets are in the hands of Lord Chincha for one day, they will have to honor Lord Chincha as well as their grandson honors his grandfather.
Xu Sanye couldn't help but think of the matter of opening the sea again, Lord Qincha had such a powerful fleet in his hands, as long as he didn't open the sea for a day, they wouldn't dare to go to sea for a day!
So the sea has to be opened, and the sooner the better! Previously, Lord Qincha put forward the demand of ten taxes and one tax, which caused the dissatisfaction of many coastal wealthy families, although they did not dare to directly question Lord Qincha, but they all planned to wait for the opening of the sea to let those civil officials write a letter to protest and try.
Now Xu Sanye just wants to send the news back as soon as possible, and persuade them to hurry up and stop the drums, ten taxes and one ten, don't make an inch of money outside the festival. If you annoy Lord Qincha because of this, the consequences are unimaginable.
Xu Sanye's heart flashed with all kinds of thoughts, his face was filled with a chrysanthemum-like smile, his face was full of red light as if he had won a battle, and he smiled and bowed his hand: "Congratulations to Lord Qincha for his complete victory, leveling the sea area, and making immortal feats." β
Zhang Zhijie listened to a breezy look, waved his hand and smiled: "It's just to exterminate the pirates!" It's not a feat! However, it can be regarded as a little good thing for the coastal military and civilians. β
It is indeed not a meritorious achievement, since ancient times, the imperial court has not cared much about maritime affairs, and pays more attention to land, Zhang Zhijie took the sailor to exterminate the pirates at sea, and it is estimated that he can get a verbal reward from the imperial court. It's impossible to get any reward.
But in the eyes of these people who were born and grew up in the coast, it is even more difficult to suppress bandits at sea than on land. That's why Xu Sanye's heart was full of awe.
Zhang Zhijie really didn't see the extermination of pirates as glorious, because he knew that this was just a small step out, and the real challenge was still to come, and it was the Western maritime powers!
Just when Zhang Zhijie didn't know where he was flying, a brocade guard quickly stepped forward and reported: "My lord, Liu Liangsan asks to see you!" β
Zhang Zhijie couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and almost forgot about this pirate leader.
