On the eastern reef at the southeastern tip of Puji Island, the misty smoke and rain were terrified in the gale, the inky waves were raging, and the droplets on the cliffs were mixed in the light rain.

The currents and waves of the sea are like violent beasts, roaring and roaring, and the sound of the waves and the sound of the wind are mixed with the sound of the sky, filling the heavens and the earth, and there is no other sound.

The typhoon season in the waters of Puji Island seems to be ten months earlier than usual, that is, Mo Ruiping stood between the wind and rain and the droplets as if he had lost something, his eyes looking into the distance, his eyes scattered but not condensed, but he looked at a certain empty place in disappointment. Since Gongliang Youqin led the army to leave, that is, Mo Ruiping would go to the cliff and look into the distance every day, although it was slim, but it was the last bit of hope.

A huge fleet of hundreds of large and small warships slowly approached the East Key, Wei Yu stood firmly on the deck with his feet steady, the rain wrapped his great body tightly, his eyes flashed with a strange look, and he looked unusually bright in the dim rain curtain.

Shao Xiaoqi grabbed the side of the boat to stand firmly, the rain passed through the clothes, soaking the armor, but as if he didn't realize it, he pointed to the huge black shadow that appeared in the field of vision, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "That's the East Key Island." ”

Wei Yu said: "I have also spent some years on Dongjiao Island with Ming Xi and Wei Yan, but the subsequent killing has already diluted this memory. The left outpost and the outpost fleet advanced at full speed towards the East Key, preparing to land on the island for battle, and informed that there was no extra food and fresh water on board for the captives. ”

Occupying Dongjiao Island can naturally replenish food and fresh water, but Wei Yu made up his mind to wipe out the pirates on Dongjiao Island, and Ji Ziheng also knew that persuasion was useless, so he just said lightly: "Is it more appropriate to send an advance sentinel to the island to investigate?" ”

Wei Yu pursed his lips, pointed to the reef island not far away, and said, "Ziheng can press the battle for me in the Chinese army." Gongliang Youqin only left 20,000 defenders on Puji Chain Island, and if these forces did not have the cooperation of the water battalion warships, it was not enough to defend the main island, how could they take care of the East Key? ”

If the pirates defend on all fronts, the defense of Puji Chain Island will be full of flaws, and the 20,000 pirates are mainly stationed on the island, and the defense of the surrounding reefs and islands is almost useless. Neither the Yongyang nor Qingjiang water camps could compete with the Puji water camp, even if the Jinghai Sea Camp occupied the surrounding reef islands for a while, and when Gongliang Youqin led the army back, the Jinghai Sea Camp had only one way to escape.

Shao Xiaoqi leaned sideways to look at Wei Yu's slender side face, a faint scar pulled from his eyelids to his nose, and thought: Gongliang Youqin may not have expected that the master of the Jinghai Sea Camp would reverse the tactics that the pirates have always used to Puji Island.

There was no time to think about it, the outpost water battalion battleship had already landed on the East Key, and the first batch of soldiers of the Jinghai Sea Battalion quickly climbed down the battleship with the rope ladder and rushed to the dock port of the East Key. The small warship sailed straight up the shallows, and the soldiers descended the rope ladder into the choppy water, wading through the water to outflank the dock.

Wei Yu quietly watched through the heavy rain curtain as the more than 500 Puji bandits on the East Island Reef were outflanked and divided by the soldiers of the Jinghai Sea Battalion who had landed on the reef several times, and the last piece disappeared from the field of vision, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to Shao Xiaoqi beside him: "You lead some people to find Mr. Jimo." ”

Shao Xiaoqi was slightly stunned, isn't Wei Yu also a Yiren, doesn't he know that the master is the current King of Yi? Seeing Wei Yu turn his face sideways, he suspiciously gathered dozens of Wei Yu's guards to get on a sentry boat and sail towards Dongjiao Island.

Wei Yu's angular face was hidden behind the heavy rain curtain, and a pair of blazing tiger eyes were extremely bright, shining with resolute and resolute light.

Xu Ruyu's military order was conveyed by Qingjiang, and in addition to the military order drawn by Xu Ruyu himself, Shao Haitang attached a letter written by himself, and the content of the letter was only known to Wei Yu and Ji Ziheng.

"There is only one commander of the Qingyan Army, that is the Qingfeng General Xu Ruyu, even if Baiyi does not form the Baiyi Army according to Xu Ruyu's requirements, the Qingjiang side will force the surname to limit the military strength of the Baiyi clan, so as not to make Baiyi unable to get out of the control of the Qingyan Army."

That's probably what it means, though it's much more tactful.

Wei Yu frowned, hesitating in his heart how to convey Shao Haitang's meaning to King Yi, who was about to meet.

The battle in the south was transmitted through the rain curtain to the cliff where Mo Ruiping was located, and it was almost silent, and Ji Mo Ruiping stood on the cliff and was unconscious. Under the guidance of the islanders, Shao Xiaoqi found here and saw a soaking back towards the vast sea.

Jimo Ruiping followed Shao Xiaoqi to the simple dock port stretched into the tide, the soldiers of the Jinghai Sea Battalion were throwing the bodies of the pirates into the sea, and hundreds of islanders were loading the materials in the bandit camp near the dock port onto the sea ships docked in the port, Wei Yu looked at everything in front of him expressionlessly, and saw Shao Xiaoqi and Jimo Ruiping walking towards him from the embrace of Jingwei, and whispered left and right: "Collect [***] Remember to completely destroy the enemy camp." Striding over, bowing slightly, he said to Jimo Ruiping: "How has Mr. been doing all these years?" ”

Wei Yu is the commander of the first army of the Qingyan Army, and he is quite respectful to give a half-salute.

When Wei Yu was taken captive to the island, he was just an ordinary character, even Mo Ruiping couldn't recognize his appearance, but on the way, Shao Xiaoqi had already told him about Wei Yu's origin in Baiyi and the Baiyi family.

That is, Mo Ruiping was stunned, looking sideways at Shao Xiaoqi beside him, he also had puzzlement and confusion on his face, and there was a little bit of indignation.

Wei Yu didn't realize it, and said directly: "My family is worried about Mr. and ordered Wei Yu to greet Mr. ”

Ji Mo Ruiping suddenly understood, although there was a huge loss, but he also knew that this was the best choice for the Baiyi clan, sighed, couldn't help but be a little gloomy, and said: "General Wei waved his army to occupy the East Reef Island, I don't know what the arrangements are?" ”

Wei Yu's gaze wandered into the distance, and he couldn't bear to look at Jimo Ruiping's lost eyes.

Baiyi has been martyred for hundreds of years, and the centripetal force on the royal family is incomprehensible to the Han people, but for Liang Bao and others, it is not appropriate, even if Jimo Mingxi chooses to inherit the throne of King Yi, he will resign from all positions in the army under the pressure of Shao Haitang and others.

Baiyi either does not have a royal family, or allows the king of Yi to raise his surname in Yongyang or Xuancheng, and cannot interfere in government affairs and military affairs.

Jimo Ruiping has no ambition, Jimo Mingxi has no ambition, and he will not betray Xu Ruyu, but what about the next King Yi? No one can tell.

Wei Yu said lightly: "The adult is in Nanmin to preside over the battle of Nanmin, and the lady is in Yongyang, I don't know where Mr. wants to go?" The gentleman can organize a sentry from the islanders to protect the safety of the gentleman, or he can be drawn from the soldiers of the water battalion. ”

Ji Mo Ruiping thought to himself: The Qingyan Army probably hasn't figured out how to deal with me, the king of Yi who suddenly appeared, and it seems that he can only go to Yongyang first, and asked, "Where is Ming Xi now?" ”

"Maybe in Quanzhou, maybe somewhere else in Southern Fujian."

"Ahh Listening to Wei Yu's tone, the Qingyan Army intended to capture Quanzhou, that is, Mo Ruiping couldn't hold back the surprise in his heart, "The Zongzheng clan has been operating in Quanzhou for a hundred years......

"Zongzheng Xunda led tens of thousands of troops to conquer the Tiger Swallow Gorge, and the military strength of the Zongzheng clan in Quanzhou has been emptied, and the power that can really determine the war situation in Southern Fujian is the many families and clans in Southern Fujian. Wei Yu gently revealed the details of the Qingyan Army in the Battle of Southern Fujian.

Ji Mo Ruiping has no understanding of the southeast bureau and can't assert it, but looking at Wei Yu's calm expression, the Qingyan Army seems to be not afraid of the huge strength of Gongliang Youqin and Zongzheng Xunda.

Wei Yu looked at Jimo Ruiping and said, "There are more than 100 civilian ships on the expedition with the water camp, and I hope that Mr. will organize the young and strong families on the island to leave Dongjiao Island and return to the Central Plains." Sir should know that Gongliang Yuqin may be able to avoid this time, but it will not last long, and I don't want the young men on the island to succumb to death in the unjust conquest. ”

Gongliang Youqin kidnapped the people of Yue County and Southern Fujian to fill the islanders, and now Wei Yu wants to capture the islanders to drain the potential of Puji.

Wei Yu thought of the love of the Yi people and allowed the young Zhuang of East Key Island to leave with his family, but he didn't know if other reef islands were so lucky.

Among the civilian ships parked in the harbor, many of them are converted from inland river vessels, and their ability to withstand wind and waves is far weaker than that of regular sea vessels.

Ji Mo Ruiping couldn't help but hesitate, looking at the undoubted indifference on Wei Yu's face, stunned.

Shao Xiaoqi said in a low voice: "A little bigger wind and waves can break up those civilian boats, all the way over, the civilian ships have sunk several times, this is just an empty ship, after it is full of people, the ability of the civilian ships to resist the wind and waves is weaker......" Wei Yu's fierce eyes swept over, and the latter sentence "Is the matter of moving the people will be discussed later" choked in his throat and did not spit out.

Wei Yu glanced at Shao Xiaoqi, and turned to look at Jimo Ruiping: "The young and strong of Baiyi can be incorporated into the water camp temporarily as sailors, when the family members can only return to the Central Plains by civilian boat, they always need to bear a certain risk to get free, if there is really any loss on the sea, this account will be recovered from Gongliang Youqin later." ”

That is, Mo Ruiping knew a little about the surname of this "general who does not kill prisoners" from Shao Xiaoqi, and knew that he could not change his decision, so he sighed secretly and returned to the island.

In the evening of the next day, nearly 10,000 islanders were semi-forcibly driven to the civilian boats, and more than 40 crowded civilian boats, led by three three-masted sea vessels, rounded the waters between Puji Island and Yue County and sailed back to Yongyang.

Ji Mo Ruiping looked at the fleet that disappeared between the sky and water, and sighed with emotion: After the northern end of Puji Island, the escort of more than 10 warships will return, at that time there was a huge fleet of more than 10,000 people, and the escort was only 300 people, if it was unfortunate to encounter the pirate fleet cruising in the northern waters of Puji Island, the civilian casualties would be heavy.

There are not many warships left on Puji Island, and the most that can patrol the island is the scout fleet on Puji Island, so the chance of encountering it is not too great. Wei Yu would never scatter his troops for this small chance.

Wei Yu incorporated more than a dozen captured warships on Dongjiao Island into the Jinghai Fleet with more than 1,000 young men of the Baiyi tribe, and led the main fleet and the remaining civilian ships to other islands.

In the second day of the Qingyan Army's attack on Quanzhou, the Jinghai Battalion fleet appeared outside the Xijin Port on Puji Island.

The ships that floated on the blue sea seemed to smell blood, and became restless like wild beasts, rising and falling with the waves.

The Puji garrison ship array, composed of more than 30 large and small warships parked in Xijin Port, looked a little small in the face of the huge Jinghai Sea Battalion ship formation that was several times its size.

In the face of the advance of the Jinghai Sea Camp, he had to retreat into the Xijin River.

Wei Yu showed a disdainful look on his face, and ordered unhurriedly: "Be sure to capture the shipwrights and shipwrights in the dock before the Puji reinforcements arrive, and then give me a fire to burn the dock clean, if you leave a rivet for Gongliang Youqin, be careful that I will cure you for the crime of benefiting the enemy." ”

Shao Xiaoqi looked sideways at Wei Yu, she couldn't see that he was joking, she had been with him for ten months, and she knew his surname, and thought: Where is he who can joke? I thought in my heart that after this battle, I must try to leave the Jinghai Sea Camp.

Seeing that there was no movement around him, Wei Yu lowered his face and said, "Do you want me to personally lead the guards to go up and fight?" ”

Shao Xiaoqi muttered softly: "Where are the rivets burned?" But he didn't dare to see Wei Yu's reaction, so he led his guards to get off the light boat and sailed towards Xijin Port in the attack boat array.

Dozens of light sentry ships were loaded with courage and courage like arrows, and rushed towards Xijin Port.

The Xijin River traverses Puji Island, and the Xijin Port that enters the sea is the largest port in Puji Shuiying, and the dock inside the port is also the main shipbuilding place of Puji Shuiying. When Puji's troops were insufficient, especially when there was no strong water battalion fleet at home, Wei Yu would not let go of Xijin Port no matter what. When the Puji reinforcements arrived, all they saw was a large area of burning embers, and the fleet of the Camp of the Still Sea Sea was only a few sails in the sky.

In the following days, Wei Yu personally led the main force of the Jinghai Sea Battalion to contain the Puji defenders, and dozens of soldiers of the Jinghai Sea Battalion penetrated from the gap in the defense of Puji Island to the depth, and the attack on Puji Island, the Jinghai Sea Battalion completely adopted the consistent approach of the Puji Sea Bandits, and could not take everything away and destroy it together, and the only restraint was that it did not massacre the islanders.

Faced with Jimo Ruiping's questioning, Wei Yu just said: "I used to be a bandit, but now I am facing an enemy. ”

Although Ji Ziheng and other generals knew that they might displease Xu Ruyu afterwards, there was no better way to crack down on the Puji bandits.

From the departure of the main force of Puji led by Gongliang Youqin to the end of the Battle of Nanmin, except for a few heavily guarded large islands on Puji Chain Island, the garrison of the rest of the reef islands was almost completely destroyed by the Jinghai Sea Battalion, and all the seaports experienced different degrees of fire, and the biggest blow to Puji was that more than 40,000 islanders were taken captive by the island and the surrounding reef islands, of which eighty percent were young men and women, and there were more than 2,000 shipwrights and shipwrights who were urgently needed by Yongyang and Puji.
