Although the crossbow bolts did not explode, dozens of wrist-thick wooden stakes hit together, which was not something that a small boat could withstand, and the flute was forced into the water, and even a survivor was wooden.

The blow of the Tiansheng 2 frightened the fleeing pirates, and this Nima was easily sunk by others without touching anyone. Pirates, who had always been accustomed to playing broadside melee combat, could only secretly congratulate themselves on the fact that their ship had not been targeted, but they did not know whether to continue to flee or stay as prisoners.

Just when they were in a dilemma, Tiansheng No. 2 also began to shout: "If you want to live, surrender, if you dare to escape, that will be your fate just now!" ”

Qi Zhonghao also took this opportunity to let the herald shout: "Give you another ten breaths to think about it, and if you don't surrender, you will be killed!" ”

"Ten"

"Nine"

……

Before the ten counts were finished, the remaining pirates obediently put down their weapons and squatted on the deck, after all, there were lessons from the past, even if they were not afraid of death, but it did not mean that they wanted to die. Don't think that pirates are good masters, it's just a kind of "job" for others.

Qi Zhonghao: "Order the Marines to attack!" Take control of all the pirate ships and take them to the ship. ”

"Yes!"

The captain of the Tiansheng No. 1 Marine Corps led the order, took 500 marines, put down the assault boat, and rowed towards the various pirate ships.

After another hour, the Marines finally finished finishing the work and took all the remaining 300 or so pirates to Tiansheng One. During the period, there was also a small episode, one of the pirates on the ship was more temperamental, and wanted to kill a few marines to avenge their boss, but the result was naturally nothing to say, in front of the repeater there was no other way but to become a hedgehog, which also completely cut off the bad illusions of other pirates.

Captain of the Heavenly Sage: "Your Excellency, the owner of that merchant ship asks to see you!" ”

Qi Zhonghao: "Bring him here!" ”

"Grass people Shen Hu knock to see the adult! Thank you for saving your life! Shen Hu, the owner of the merchant ship, walked in with Da Zhuang, knelt in front of Qi Zhonghao, and clicked a few times.

Qi Zhonghao helped him: "Hurry up, please get up!" It is the duty of our generation of soldiers to exterminate bandits, and the owner of the Shen ship does not have to be so polite when he opens it! ”

"Thank you, sir! This is a little bit of the villain's heart, not a tribute, and I hope the adults will accept it! Shen Hu took a small wooden box from Da Zhuang's hand and held it in front of Qi Zhonghao with both hands.

Qi Zhonghao opened the box by surprise, only to see a big pearl inside, and when he was about to stretch out his claws, Yang Sien coughed very inappropriately.

Qi Zhonghao smiled awkwardly at Yang Sien, put on a solemn face and said to Shen Hu: "Master Shen, what do you mean by this?" This commander just saved you, and you want to harm me! ”

Shen Hu's legs weakened, and he knelt down again: "What do you mean by this, my lord?" The grass people don't dare to harm you! ”

Qi Zhonghao held him up again, pointed to the paper on the wall and said, "Master Shen, look at what it is!" That is the military regulations of our navy, and the third article above clearly stipulates that as a soldier of the Great Song Dynasty, you must always remember the duty of protecting your family and defending the country, and you must love the people and treat people well. Do you think you're harming your own officials? If it weren't for the firmness of the official's will, he would have followed your way! ”

"My lord, my lord, the grass people really don't know! The grass people just want to express their gratitude, I didn't expect you to be so disciplined! Please forgive me! Shen Hu looked at the military regulations stamped with the emperor's seal and hurriedly apologized.

Qi Zhonghao: "Those who don't know are not guilty, remember not to take the next example!" ”

Shen Hu: "Yes, yes, the grass people remember!" My lord, you see that the grass people have brought all these things, and it is not appropriate to take them back, or how about you dedicate them to the emperor for the grass people! Besides, if it weren't for the adults to save us, we would probably all be thrown into the sea by those strongmen to fend for ourselves. ”

Qi Zhonghao touched his head and thought about it, he didn't seem to be sure, and looked at the military regulations on the wall again, and then said to Shen Hu: "It doesn't seem that you violated the military regulations when you say this, but it doesn't matter what the official said, you have to tell the adult next to you." Come, this official will introduce you to you, this is Lord Yang, temporarily serving as the supervisor of the First Fleet of our Navy, he is a celebrity in front of the saint, you can tell him directly! ”

Shen Hu pestled in front of Yang Sien again: "My lord, look? ”

Yang Sien looked at Qi Zhonghao, who put his face out of the window, planning to ignore the things in the house and only listen to the sound of the waves.

Ay! There was no way, Yang Sien had no choice but to shoulder this heavy responsibility, and said to Shen Hu with a smile: "Master Shen can think of filial piety to the saint, then the conscience is very good!" Since you have such intentions, it is difficult for this official to refuse your kindness...... Well, let's do it, the official will write you a note, you can draw a charge on it, and when the time comes to present it to the emperor, you can have a certificate, what do you think? ”

Shen Hu: "But by the orders of the adults!" ”

After receiving gifts from others, Yang Sien and Qi Zhonghao still invited Shen Hu and Da Zhuang to drink a bowl of tea and eat some snacks by the way.

During the banquet, in order to enliven the atmosphere, Yang Sien had nothing to say: "I don't know how many years the owner of the ship has been running at sea?" Are you familiar with the situation in Qiongzhou and Leizhou? ”

After contacting for a while, Shen Hu also let go a little, but still replied very respectfully: "My lord, you are asking the right person!" The grass people live in Guangzhou, and they eat on this sea before they are twenty years old, so they are very familiar with this place. ”

Yang Sien: "Oh! That's great! This official was ordered by the Holy Lord to go to Qiongzhou on a business trip, and he was worried that he was not familiar with the situation here! Please also ask the owner of the Shen ship to tell us about it! ”

"It's an honor for the grass people!" Shen Hu said modestly: "Qiongzhou and Leizhou are remote and sparsely populated, except for some prisoners exiled by the imperial court, few people come on weekdays. Twenty years ago, because almost all of the land passages in the Great Song Dynasty were cut off, shipping became more and more prosperous. It was at that time that the grass people were forced to follow those shipowners to run the ship and come into contact with the shipping industry. I thought that with my own ability, I could lead the whole village to get rich, so I asked everyone to pool the money to make this boat together, and took some of the offspring out of Taobao, originally we were lucky, found a small island, got a boat full of spices, and on the way back also accidentally got the big pearl. But there were unforeseen circumstances, and we encountered a small storm and failed to catch up with the pace of the fleet, so we were targeted by those pirates, thanks to the help of adults! ”

Qi Zhonghao: "Master Shen, it's too polite!" You're out of the way, let's talk about the situation in this area! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Far from it! Shen Hu smiled apologetically: "The grass people went on to talk about this situation, just now talking about pirates, it can be said that Qiongzhou and Leizhou are basically pirates now, these pirates have prisoners from our dynasty, mountain people in the mountains, and people from some other countries, and the composition is very complicated." All in all, this place can be described in one word, and that is 'chaos'! ”

Yang Sien nodded: "Listening to you say this, the risk of doing your business is quite high, the road is so dangerous, presumably this profit is also very high, right?" ”

"Hey, hey!" Shen Hu said with a smile: "Don't hide it, if you want to say that the profits of begging for a life on this sea are indeed very high, if the whole process is smooth, there are no storms, and there are no pirates, it is basically ten to dozens of times the profit." As far as the grass people are concerned, we were lucky to find an uninhabited island, which is full of all kinds of spices, and we only need to pay some manpower, and there is no cost at all. However, these spices are very valuable in our dynasty, and if they can be transported to the north, it will be even more valuable, but even so, we can sell tens of thousands of dollars on this trip, not only can we return to our capital, but also make a lot of money! ”

Yang Sien listened to his words, and a vague thought suddenly rose in his heart, and he still agreed: "Thank you Shen Ship Master for telling me frankly!" I can't thank you enough! ”

Shen Hu: "Your Excellency is polite! If there is a place for the grass people, please do not hesitate to tell them, and the grass people will live in Shenjiazhuang outside Guangzhou. ”

Yang Sien: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" ”

After a few people exchanged pleasantries for a while, Qi Zhonghao and Yang Sien sent Shen Hu and Da Zhuang away, and continued to drive in the direction of Qiongzhou......

In the southernmost part of the Great Song Dynasty, Yazhou, further south of Qiongzhou, was often used as a place of exile for major political prisoners. There have been many celebrities who have come to play, some have died here with bad luck, and some have made a comeback to stir up the world.

Seven years ago, when Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, Ding Wei, as the most powerful minister of the Great Song Dynasty, was cut down by Zhao Zhen from the top of the pyramid and fell to the southernmost corner of the world.

When he first arrived in Yazhou, Ding Wei was still holding a shelf, imagining that this was just a little trick played by the little emperor when he ascended the throne in order to establish himself prestige, and he would definitely take himself back in a short time.

What a pity!

It's been seven years, and there is still no news at all, could it be that the little emperor has really forgotten himself.

After a long time, Ding Wei's thoughts gradually faded, and since he couldn't go back, he had to fish and pick up shells at the beach.

Ding Wei's eldest son, Ding Hui, found his father by the sea as usual, but unlike usual, he was happy today.

"Father, the court has sent someone! Let you go to Qiongzhou! Ding Heng said with a smile beside his father.

"Oh?" Ding Wei shuddered, picked up the shells for a long time and fell to the ground, turned his head to look at his son and asked, "Really?" ”

"Hmm!" Ding Heng nodded solemnly.

……

A month later, Ding Wei and his son drove to Qiongzhou in a broken car.

Yang Sien and Qi Zhonghao stood together at the gate of the Qiongzhou Mansion, greeting Ding Wei with a smile: "The old man has come from afar to work hard!" I prepared some thin wine for you to wash the dust, and I invite you to enjoy it! ”

"Hahaha" Ding Wei laughed twice and patted the shoulders of the two: "Don't you dare to be the elder of the pavilion!" The old man is a degraded person, how can he afford your big gift! ”

Yang Sien: "Elder Ge, you're laughing, hurry up, please inside!" ”

Ding said: "Then the old man is respectful, it is better to obey his fate!" ”

Chinese people like to talk about things at the wine table, and after they were full of wine and food, Yang Sien told Ding Wei what Zhao Zhen asked him to pass on.

Yang Sien took out the holy decree from his pocket and handed it to Ding Wei: "Ge Lao, this holy decree will not be read in the later life, you can see for yourself!" The saint transferred you to the governor of Qiongzhou, and I hope you can help the later students complete the tasks assigned by the saint. Brother Zhong Hao's First Fleet of the Navy will also be stationed here for a long time, and this administrative and logistical aspect will have to rely on the elder to worry a lot! ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Ding Wei promised it on his lips, and his hands were not idle, so he opened the holy decree and read it in front of the two of them.

After reading it, he was still a little disappointed, except for giving himself a "little" Zhizhou, the Holy Lord did not have any other benefits as he imagined. But in any case, this is also a good sign, maybe the saint is paving the way for his return to the court.

Thinking about it this way, I really have to perform well!

So, he asked, "Sien, I wonder if you can tell the old man what exactly is the content of this task that the Holy Lord has commanded?" What can the old man do? ”

"Hey, hey!" Yang Sien smiled: "Elder Ge, this matter is also very simple, our task is to plant trees!" ”

"Planting trees?"

"That's right! It's about planting trees! (To be continued.) )
