Funan Wang Fan Yao is in the prime of life this year, his figure is not tall, but he is very strong, with two thick eyebrows and a pair of big eyes, he looks extremely powerful, and his upper body is obliquely clothed with gorgeous silk bought from Liaodong merchants, which makes him rich and noble.

However, at this moment, Fan Yao was blazing at Fan Li, the general of the Navy, and originally thought that after signing a non-aggression pact with Liaodong, Funan would take advantage of the sea trade. However, I don't know when a wave of pirates suddenly appeared in the South Seas, and they were not afraid of the hegemony of Funan, and frequently attacked Funan merchant ships.

"Have you found out where that pirate came from?"

Hearing this, a touch of timidity flashed in Fan Li's eyes, and he hurriedly pleaded guiltily: "The minister is incompetent, and he is not effective!" Please punish the king. ”

"Huh?"

Fan Yao was obviously stunned for a moment, his knuckle-thick palm tightly pinched the short sword at his waist, and his shining eyes swept back and forth on Fan Li's face a few times, "You mean, so far, I haven't found the pirate who attacked my merchant ship?" ”

"Yes." Fan Li nodded embarrassedly: "A few days ago, a group of pirates appeared out of nowhere, they first attacked the coastal port of Linyi, and then marched west to attack the sea ships that were returning to Funan at that time. The losses were heavy in various places, and they all asked the sailors for help, and the ministers sent sailors to hunt down ......"

"The result?" Fan Yao was furious,

"The sailor has inspected several times inside and outside the Great Bay of Haixi, and has not found a trace of piracy!"

"What? Is there anything else in Nanyang that I can't understand in Funanguo? What do you, the Admiral of the Mariners, do? Actually played by a few pirates? ”

Fan Li couldn't raise his head when he was scolded by King Funan, he licked his thick lips, and said fiercely: "Please rest assured, the king will personally lead the main force of the sailor to sea, and he will definitely cut off the heads of those pirates who attacked my merchant ships!" ”

"There's a fart to go to sea now? Do you know where those pirates are? ”

"Minister...... Don't you know? Fan Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied.

"Humph! A bunch of rubbish! You can't even deal with a pirate, so what's the use of you? ”

King Funan lost his temper for a while, and after venting most of the anger in his heart, he finally calmed down.

He pondered for a while and asked, "General Fan, guess where these pirates came from?" Even I can't deal with the sailors of the Southern Kingdom? When did such a powerful pirate appear in the South Seas? ”

The minister didn't know very well, but as far as the minister knew, since the Liaodong merchants went south, there were more and more merchant ships passing in the South China Seas, and the piracy industry, which was already sluggish, took the opportunity to prosper. It's just that Funan has always been the largest country in the South Seas, and those pirates don't dare to provoke our country easily. ”

"But lately, for some reason, those pirates seem to have gone crazy, frantically plundering merchant ships everywhere, even the Funan merchant ships. He had sent sailors to sweep away several bands of pirates on the nearby islands, but none of them admitted to attacking Funan. It can be seen that the pirates who attacked our country are very cunning, and they have not left a trace at all. ”

"In addition to this, the minister has another major discovery."

Fan Yao's face sank and said, "What discovery?" ”

"My lord, in addition to the recent pirates who have attacked our Funan merchant ships in the face of the world's condemnation, there have also been frequent incidents of pirate fires, and several groups of pirates who have attacked Liaodong merchant ships have been taken to their nests. The minister had personally gone up to inspect all the pirates who had attacked the merchant ships of Liaodong had been brutally retaliated against, and all men, women, and children on the island had been killed. ”

"Huh? What do you mean by that? Fan Yao's eyes flickered.

"My lord, I suspect that Liaodong is behind this. Some time ago, the king and the Nanyang pirates dealt a severe blow to Liaodong's arrogance, Liaodong was angry and hateful, would he secretly buy the pirates and want to repay the other in his way? ””

"This ...... Is this possible? Just for a few businessmen who traveled thousands of miles to the South Seas to find pirates for revenge? ”

Fan Yao smiled dumbly and said, "If it's really the people of Liaodong who make a ghost, how can they only use this kind of indiscriminate means?" Wouldn't it be easier to send a sailor to kill it directly? If it was really done by Liaodong, with the prestige of Funan in the South Seas, how could it be that there was no wind and grass at all? ”

Fan Yao didn't think so about Fan Li putting all the blame on Liaodong, he didn't believe that the Jin people would go to war for a few businessmen.

In the past, Funan didn't hurt the Jin people, as long as he whispered a few good words, and then paid some tribute to the people in power in the Jin family, this matter was basically over.

Fan Yao knew that in the eyes of the Jin Emperor, Funan was a wild place, and it was not worth sending troops to fight at all.

Although the king of Funan had never been to the Central Plains, he was not ignorant of the Central Plains. In recent years, with the mourning of the Central Plains, many Jin people fled to Funan from all over the country, and from these populations, Funan people know a lot about the situation in the Central Plains. The Jin people have long been not that powerful empire, so there is no need to worry about it at all.

And he also heard that there was chaos in the Central Plains recently, and even the Jin people's country was broken by the Hu people, and countless people died, where would he have the energy to take care of the distant Nanyang, otherwise how could he easily sign a non-aggression pact with Funan?

"What the king said is not unreasonable, the great powers of the state have always liked to be famous, and the king has won the favor of Liaodong with humble words, and I think that the people of Liaodong disdain to use such despicable means. It seems likely that some greedy pirates, with their own strong military force, and their greed for the advantages of the sea, risked the world's condemnation to attack merchant ships. ”

"Well, that's right! Funan has just reached a compromise with Liaodong, and they have no reason to tear up the agreement immediately! ”

Fan Yao was very unhappy about the pirate attack on the merchant ships of Funan, as the king of Funan, he had been the king and hegemonist in the waters of the South Seas for nearly three hundred years, conquering countless states. In the past, the pirates who begged for a living in the South Seas were all based on Funan, and no pirate had ever dared to attack Funan, so how could they tolerate a few pirates to provoke?

"General Fan, the most important task of the naval division is to protect Funan's interests in the South Seas and ensure the smooth progress of maritime trade. Therefore, no matter who is provoking Funan, no matter what method is used, you must find out as soon as possible and exterminate all pirates within half a month! ”

Fan Li patted his chest and promised: "Please rest assured, the minister will definitely screw off the heads of those pirates, and let them know what will happen if they offend Funan!" ”

"Well, that's the best!"

"How many people does General Fan plan to send to exterminate those pirates?"

Fan Li thought for a while and replied: "Back to the king, the minister plans to send two hundred and fifty warships, large and small, to sort out the entire Nanyang within half a month, and strive to arrest all the pirates who have offended Funan, and then cut off their heads to set an example!" ”

"Well, that's good! Don't take it lightly, though. ”

Fan Yao carefully reminded his confidant and beloved general: "Since those pirates dare to attack the Funan merchant ships, it means that they must have a good self-sustaining power, and they don't take the Funan Navy Division in their eyes, the general must be careful to deal with it!" In this case, the widow will allow you to transfer three hundred warships, large and small, and give you a grace period of one month, and after a month, you must catch all the pirates who have offended Funan. ”

"King Xie!"

Fan Li's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and the three hundred warships basically accounted for one-third of the Funan Naval Division. Such a huge water force, in the entire South Seas, no country can compete with it. Even if he encountered the Liaodong Naval Division, he was confident that he would win the battle.

Just as Funan was in full swing to find the traces of pirates, at this moment, in an unknown sea area in the South Seas, a fleet armed to the teeth was sailing, and the skeleton battle flag flying high on the flagpole indicated the identity of the fleet. This is the group of pirates who attacked the merchant ships of Funan and slaughtered the merchant ships of Liaodong.

Only his own people knew that his true identity was the Liaodong Naval Division, and after being granted a privateer license by the Zhenbei General, the Liaodong Naval Division disguised itself as several pirates and went south. Their mission was to plunder the merchant ships of Funan, crack down on the trade of Funan, and at the same time protect the interests of Liaodong in the South Seas before the sailors set out for the South Seas.

At present, everyone does not know that Funan is organizing a huge fleet of sailors to encircle and suppress, and the Liaodong sailors will face a very dangerous situation next.

For this point, Wei Shuo, Mr. Liu and others have long expected that the people of Funan are not stupid, and they will definitely think of getting it back after suffering a loss.

However, Wei Shuo also wanted to take this opportunity to train his troops, as long as the Liaodong Naval Division survived under the encirclement and suppression of the Funan Naval Division, they could be regarded as having completed the transformation. (To be continued.) )
