Hundreds of pirates wreaked havoc on the Nanyang Islands, don't look at them only a few hundred, but they have made a name for themselves, often dozens of people can kill thousands of natives to the ground, and nearly 2,000 young men and women have been caught in half a month.

At present, there are many small countries on the Nanyang Islands, and the small ones are only a few hundred people, and they are actually just small tribes.

Most of the small countries are very backward in terms of productive forces, and their weapons are extremely rudimentary, and a small country with one or two thousand people can be destroyed directly by Heishichiro Tanaka with a few hundred people. For a time, the Nanyang islands were all talking about the change of color.

Of course, there are some relatively large countries, the strongest of which is Sriwijaya. Of course, even the Three Buddhas could not help to get this group of well-equipped and impermanent Japanese robbers for a while.

Sriwijaya was founded in the first year of the Tang Dynasty Yonghui, and the state has lasted for 500 years, once ruling over Jinzhou (Sumatra), the Malay Peninsula, and parts of Java and Borneo (Kalimantan).

It controls the Strait of Malacca, as well as the Kra Isthmus, the throat of land and water. The capital of the kingdom was located in the city of Bolimbang (later Palembang).

However, the current national strength of Srivijaya is not as good as before, and in the first year of the Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty (1017), Srivijaya was attacked by the Zhulin Kingdom from South India.

In the third year of the reign of Emperor Renzong (1025), the state of Srivijaya invaded Srivijaya and its vassal states in Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula, and the power of Srivijaya was greatly weakened.

At the same time, Sriwijaya has to constantly fight with the Tatana and Mataran countries on the island of Java, which also greatly consumes the national strength of Sriwijaya, making the livelihood of Sriwijaya very bad.

Heishichiro Tanaka crossed the Strait of Malacca with 400 minions. It is the Sriwijaya that they have their eye on it, to be exact. It was the employer behind them who took a fancy to Sriwijaya.

After all, Sriwijaya is a large country with a history of several hundred years, and the quality of the people is relatively higher than that of those ignorant tribes. It is more suitable for farming and weaving.

Of course, Tanaka Heishichiro and his gang are also willing to rob the Three Buddhas, and the ability of the people of the Three Buddhas to climb trees has deteriorated more seriously, so it is easier to catch them, at least they don't have to drill into the mountains and forests. There are also more possessions and flower girls.

Today they have their eye on a small town called Anro, with hundreds of families and a population of nearly 2,000, mainly farming, and some of them fishing for a living. Importantly, there were no garrisons here, and most of the Sriwijaya troops were concentrated near the capital city of Bolimbang on the east side of Jinzhou, as the kingdoms of Tatana and Mataran, which were separated by a strait, were still at war.

In fact, even if Sriwijaya did not have a war with Tatana and Matalan, it would not be possible to garrison troops everywhere, and no country could do this.

The situation Tanaka Heishichiro sent someone to inquire clearly. In the early morning mist, six boats sailed towards the town of Anro, two of which were relatively large, with 600 materials. Mainly considering that Tanaka and others were going to use it to load piglets, they were equipped with these two larger boats.

From the sea, the whole town was shrouded in a faint light smoke, as the sky had just dawned. Most of the townspeople haven't gotten up yet, and they seem quiet, the tall coconut trees rustling in the morning breeze. Heishichiro Tanaka chose to land about a mile away from the town of Anro.

Except for 50 men who were left to guard the ship, the rest of the 400 Japanese followed Tanaka Heishichiro ashore. Rush along the coconut grove on the shore towards the town.

Soon, the few early risers in town saw a crowd dressed in colorful clothes. Men with katanas and screaming groats rushed into the town.

"The Wokou are coming!"

"The Wokou are coming!"

A series of panicked shouts suddenly broke the silence of the early morning, Tanaka Heishichiro divided his minions into a dozen or so people, like a net, one by one the wooden doors were kicked open, screams one after another, Tanaka and the others rushed in to catch people when they saw them, and took good things when they saw them, but those who dared to resist were served with a katana.

In less than an hour, the whole town was driven to the beach, and many of them were still naked, crouching on the ground and hugging each other.

Tanaka Heishichiro became more and more experienced in this business, and ordered that young men and women be quickly selected, and let these people be responsible for carrying the looted goods, and then drove the people to the ship, hoisted the sails and anchors, and quickly evacuated.

Every time there is a harvest, Tanaka Heishichiro only needs to send someone to Puluozhong to say a word, and a ship will come to pick up these young men and women at sea, and at the same time buy the looted goods.

Today's harvest was very great, which made Tanaka and the others extremely excited, and after putting the young men and women who had been plundered into the bilge, everyone drank on the deck to celebrate, and had to bring some flower girls to wait.

Heishichiro Tanaka has deeply liked the current life, these days there is no disadvantage, there are people who supply weapons, let go of their hands and feet to rob it, the men and women who have been plundered can be sold for money, and the property is also their own. This kind of capitalless business is much better than in Japan.

Yoshino Koshiro is now considered the second master, and seeing that the business is so easy to do, he has a different mind, pulls Tanaka Heishichiro to the bow of the boat where no one is around, and whispers: "Tanaka-kun, in my opinion, we don't need to rely on that Mr. Jiang anymore, most of the things we have stolen now are sold to him cheaply, and these young people can't make a lot of money, so let's do it ourselves!" ”

Tanaka Heishichiro was silent for a while before he said: "Although the surname Jiang is mysterious, his origin will never be simple, and if we want to bypass him before we find out his details, it is likely that he will die without a place to be buried." ”

Yoshino Koshiro said disappreciatively: "Nanyang is so big, let's hide anywhere, can he still find us?" ”

"How long can you hide, and who do you go to for what you steal? Do you still want to go back to Japan? What about your family in Japan? Heishichiro Tanaka's questions left Yoshino speechless.

Almost all of the 400 people on the ship were family members, and there were probably few who were willing to stay in Nanyang as pirates for the rest of their lives.

Although there is no obvious evidence now, Tanaka can vaguely guess that the Mr. Chiang who hired them is inextricably linked to the gang that dominates Japan, and if they betray, the Japanese family will definitely not end well.

Seeing that Yoshino had nothing to say, Heishichiro Tanaka said softly: "We just came out, and we still don't know anything about that Mr. Jiang, and now we want to get out of his control, this is a stupid act, and it's not bad now, but it's a longer time, and we can also make enough money after a year or two, so there's no need to take that risk." ”

"Hey!"

The land requisition case in Tokyo is still dragging in Kaifeng Mansion, Su Dongpo is obedient, he does not sit in the court, but takes people out of the city to investigate the scene of the crime.

It is said that Master Su interrogated you very carefully and carefully, you were injured, well, the forbidden army present at the time was brought, you came to testify who injured you, what the beating was like at that time, and who saw it around you, all of them made it clear;

Of course, in order to prevent the two sides from gathering to make trouble again, this person testimony was passed on one by one, there is no way to do this, although it will take a long time, but in view of the seriousness of the case, it is understandable that Lord Su should be cautious.

Su Dongpo played this trick of dragging the knife, that is, it was expected that someone would not be able to wait, the imperial court had even demolished the inner city, and tens of thousands of laborers had already been recruited.

It's definitely not going to work.

The court can't wait, so someone must come forward to solve the matter.

Indeed, after Su Dongpo played this procrastination trick, someone really jumped out of the court, and this person was Zhang Dan.

This is not out of everyone's expectations, it was Zhang Dian who made the final decision and set the land acquisition plan, but now that something has happened, he doesn't come out to wipe his ass, who will come out?

But to everyone's surprise, Zhang Dian did not directly inquire into the case, but asked the imperial envoy, the household department, Sinong Temple, and the military to send another person to form a land requisition working group, and the ruler used was first verified in front of hundreds of officials of the imperial court, and then taken out of the city to measure.

Moreover, the number of people dispatched this time reached 4,000 people, and these people were directly pulled out of the yamen, and they only knew what was going on outside the city.

This means very clearly, those powerful families are not against land expropriation, at least not in words.

Well, you are only dissatisfied with the extortion of the officials who have expropriated the land;

Now, I will re-send some upright officials to measure, and send the imperial envoy to watch, no one dares to blackmail you now, and if you use this reason to talk about things, it will be clear that you want to oppose the court and deliberately obstruct the decree.

As for the beating that day, well, you don't have to worry, isn't Kaifeng Mansion on trial! Su Shaoyin tried it so carefully, repeatedly asked for verification, and analyzed it repeatedly, sooner or later the facts of the case would be clarified, and if it was really the official army beating people, Su Shaoyin would naturally give you justice.

This move caught everyone off guard, and before many powerful families could react further, the fields had already been measured, and even the compensation money was sent to the prefectures.

In this case, it is no longer a problem of more than a hundred, if you don't collect money, then it's your family's business, the land acquisition and expansion of the capital has passed the imperial court resolution, and the edict is to cover the imperial seal, do you want to resist the decree?

Even if it's a prince, as long as you dare to resist the decree, Zhang Papi doesn't mind picking up a few layers of your skin.

Yang Yi heard about this for the first time, and couldn't help but secretly admire Old Man Zhang's methods, he didn't entangle with you in the case, he was a bit of a scoundrel in doing so, but he couldn't find fault with it.

The reason why those powerful families can fight against the imperial court is that the key lies in the union, and now the old man Zhang has done the work like a storm, so that those powerful families have lost the opportunity to join forces.

Even Yang Yi didn't expect this method, and he had to admit that Jiang was still old and spicy! (To be continued.) )
