Chapter 968: It's Miserable
The three hundred households sent the head of the pirate leader over, Zhang Zhijie didn't even look at it, and said casually: "Throw it into the sea!" So Zhao Dabeard and their heads were thrown into the sea casually.
Zhang Zhijie looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Divide a few fleets and go to the island occupied by Zhao Dabeard and them, and the rest of the warships will set sail back to Quanzhou Port!" ”
These pirates have been entrenched in the Zhoushan Islands all year round to plunder merchant ships, and they should have accumulated a little wealth, Zhang Zhijie's sea bandit suppression was not in the imperial court's decree, plus Zhang Zhijie stirred up such a big storm in the south of the Yangtze River, it is estimated that it will be difficult to win any reward from the imperial court.
So he can only be self-sufficient, relying on the wealth obtained by these bandits to reward the soldiers who participated in the war, of course, Zhang Zhijie estimated that these coastal wealthy clans would definitely be interesting, and they would definitely be able to suppress them this time. This time, the bandits at sea fought cleanly and neatly, and they gave themselves a long face.
The fleet of sailors advanced all the way to Quanzhou Harbor, and followed the captured pirate ships, which were different from the solemnity when they came, and now all the soldiers seemed extremely relaxed.
They talked enthusiastically about the situation of the naval battle, and they had to brag to each other about their achievements, and they had knocked out a few pirate ships and killed a few pirates, and they were very proud.
Of course, they also had to imagine that the fleets sent to raid pirates' lairs would return with a full load. But the Lord Qincha said that the seized goods and the court and the Lord Qincha did not take a penny, and all of them were rewarded for the meritorious deeds of the soldiers.
These soldiers were naturally smiling, and Lord Qincha really didn't say that they had never met such a generous coach, not only did they not deduct but also were very generous.
If Zhang Zhijie knew about it, he would definitely smile, and he would be able to deduct a little bit of silver, and he really didn't care about that bit of silver.
The news that Lord Qincha wants to suppress bandits at sea has long been known, although the sailors of the imperial court have successfully fought a battle and packed up the fleet of the Xia family, but many people are still skeptical that Lord Qincha is going to lead the fleet to fight pirates.
After all, although the Xia family's fleet is huge, it is mainly merchant ships, but the pirates at sea are different, they are just engaged in robbery without a business, I don't know how many battles they have fought at sea, and they are very fierce and good at fighting.
With the lessons of the Xia family, the pirates will definitely unite to fight against the sailors of the imperial court, and all the pirates combined are an extremely powerful sea force. They are brave and good at fighting, on the other hand, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are almost abolished, so the comparison is really a bit mysterious.
There was a lot of discussion in Quanzhou, and even many casinos opened handicaps, and there were really not many people who supported the victory of the imperial court sailors.
This was an extremely crucial naval battle, and it could also test the true combat power of the fleet formed by Lord Kincha, so it was really a matter of great attention. The principals of the coastal wealthy clans have been stationed in Quanzhou, waiting for the final news of this battle.
If this defeat of the Imperial Navy's naval divisions would inevitably be affected, the prestige established by the Chincha Lord along the coast would inevitably be affected. If this victory of the imperial court sailors is achieved, then those who want to eat by the sea on the coast will completely depend on the color of Lord Qincha's life.
Therefore, the hearts of these coastal wealthy families are actually extremely complicated, not only looking forward to the defeat of Lord Qincha, but also looking forward to the victory of Lord Qincha. If Lord Chincha is defeated, although Lord Chincha's prestige has plummeted, it is still not something they can compete with, and these coastal nobles still dare not go to sea under the nose of Lord Chincha.
If the Chincha-sama is defeated, then they will completely lose their right to speak, but the Chincha-sama will definitely promote the opening of the sea, so that they can continue to go to sea.
So there was some contradiction in their hearts, and just when they were still struggling, the fleet of the imperial court sailors returned to port! Their first reaction was, how could it be so fast? Didn't Lord Qincha take the fleet to the sea for a ride and come back?
In their minds, the sailors and pirates who came to the imperial court would definitely be half a catty and eight taels, and after a series of battles, they would decide the winner. Because of this thought, they were very surprised that the imperial sailors had returned to Hong Kong so quickly.
Victory! The sailors of the imperial court have won a great victory! Among them, the pirate Liu Liangsan returned to the imperial court, and the rest of the pirates were all destroyed! Unbelief? The sailors of the imperial court brought back a large number of pirate ships, so what can they do?
The people of Quanzhou went crazy, and they felt extremely awe of Lord Qincha. But the principals of the coastal wealthy families still felt a little skeptical, mainly because they were too unbelievable.
So they set their sights on Xu Sanye, Xu Sanye had the courage to follow Lord Qincha's fleet this time, and they must have witnessed this naval battle with their own eyes, so they all wanted to inquire with Xu Sanye about what the situation was.
So Xu Sanye had just returned to Quanzhou Port, and he was almost overwhelmed by the invitation, and he also knew what kind of thoughts these people were holding, and it just so happened that he also had something to say to these coastal tycoons.
However, it was too troublesome to talk about them one by one, so he invited all these people here, and everyone was no stranger, especially since Lord Qincha suppressed the entire southeast coast, these people often huddled together to keep warm, so they were even more familiar.
At this time, these people gathered together and discussed, and they finally looked forward to Xu Sanye. These people were very anxious, and now that Xu Sanye finally came out, they didn't care about being polite, and asked one after another.
"Third Master Xu, I heard that the Imperial Court Sailor won a big battle, and now it is rumored in Quanzhou City, and the Third Master came to the battlefield with Lord Qincha, what is the situation?"
"That's right, the third master will talk to everyone! What was this naval battle all like? Did the sailors of the imperial court win a big battle? ”
These people asked in an instant, but fortunately, Xu Sanye was also prepared, knowing that these people must be very anxious.
"Everyone, be quiet, listen to me!" Xu Sanye hurriedly raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quieter.
Everyone also quieted down, and Xu Sanye said loudly: "I know you are very anxious, so calm down and listen to me." Xu was fortunate enough to be allowed by Lord Qincha to follow the fleet of the sailor to witness this naval battle with his own eyes! ”
"The result was also beyond my expectations, this naval battle is really miserable!" In the end, Xu Sanye was also embarrassed.
How miserable? These people couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when they heard this, could it be that the sailors and soldiers of the imperial court were not a big victory? Or do you destroy a thousand enemies and lose 800 yourself, so you suffer heavy losses?
