Chapter 233: A Thunderbolt on a Sunny Day

The tactics of the sea wolf are actually very simple, artillery bombardment, infantry rushing, musketeers line up to suppress guns, sappers and grenadiers break barriers, rely on firepower, suppress the village warriors on the village wall, so that they can not raise their heads to release arrows or guns, and the remaining infantry began to attack the village with confidence and boldness, although it is simple, but it is very effective.

A few villages with strong self-sustaining force and a large number of people are unlucky this time! They thought that with their strength, they should be able to block the attack of the sea wolf, although the sea wolf people looked very neat and tidy, which was very different from ordinary pirates and bandits, but they were strong in their own strength, and they still wanted to try.

As a result, they can often only hold out for less than half a day, Zhuangzi was broken by the sea wolf, for these Zhuangzi who dared to resist, the sea wolf people will not be polite, after attacking Zhuangzi, kill the first evil, tie up his whole family and take it away, as for their family property, of course, it will not be polite, immediately loaded and transported to the river to be loaded and shipped away.

Including the village warriors who participated in the resistance in Zhuangzi, they were all young and strong, and they were all tied up and escorted to the boat, and their families were also arrested and transported to Tamsui City.

Yu Xiaotian wants to develop the island of Taiwan, what is most lacking is people, especially strong laborers and women, and those who come do not refuse, in the past, the sea wolves were mostly through guò to retract, and even deceived people to go to the island of Taiwan, and occasionally used force to snatch the population.

This time, since he tore his face, Yu Xiaotian didn't pretend to be a good person, for those who were not convinced, he ordered not to be polite, and to catch as many young and strong laborers as possible and send them to Taiwan Island, if he could get some young women, at least alleviate the problem of the imbalance in the ratio of men and women over there.

Therefore, this time, all the ministries were carrying out activities along the coast of Fujian, and they were all shouldering a task, that is, to find a way to collect the population and transfer it to the island of Taiwan for resettlement.

Now that Liu Yidao is bringing people over, it is indispensable to find a way to get more people, and when he encounters such an opportunity, of course, he will not be polite, and get all the old and young in the Zhuangzi on the boat and send them directly to Taiwan Island.

The sea wolf and the government in the city have been busy these days, Liu Yidao did not lead his troops to attack the city, first swept the villages around Quanzhou City, subdued the local forces, and also took the opportunity to obtain a large amount of goods, which really made a lot of money for Yu Xiaotian.

When the three days passed, Cai Shanji was still full of plans to wait for Liu Wutang's 3,000 officers and troops to come to Quanzhou City, and then he ordered Liu Wutang to lead his troops out of the city and beat the thieves who landed on the sea wolf.

But after waiting for three days, Cai Shanji waited for a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the people sent out ran back to Quanzhou City in a panic and informed Cai Shanji of a bad news.

"What? You repeat? Is this serious? After Cai Shanji listened to the report of his subordinates, he was so frightened that he almost slipped out of the chair to the ground, held back the fear in his heart, and hurriedly asked, for fear that his ears were wrong and he heard it wrong.

The grizzled family member who was kneeling on the ground hurriedly nodded and said, "That's true!" After the small one went out of the city, he hurried to Tong'an County, but the sea wolf had surrounded Tong'an County, but he did not see a large number of officers and soldiers, so the small one followed the direction of the official army to find it, and found Luotian Village, only to know that a few days ago, the thief army had been to Luotian Village, and set up an ambush in Luotian Village.

When General Liu led his troops to Luotian Village, he fought with the sea wolf, but General Liu's soldiers and horses were defeated by the thief army in one fell swoop, and finally the whole army was wiped out in the area of Luotian Village.

According to the villagers, even General Liu himself was said to have been captured alive by the pirates, and the officers and soldiers were killed nearly 1,000 people on the spot, only about a few hundred escaped, and the rest were captured alive by the pirates and taken to the area of Weitou Bay.

The small one didn't believe it was true at first, but after checking it out in that area, there was indeed a big battle in the local area, before the pirates withdrew, the corpses of the officers and soldiers were buried on the spot, and the small ones also secretly opened a few new graves, which did bury the bodies of many officers and soldiers, this can't be wrong!

In addition, the small one checked the battlefield, and there were indeed a lot of blood stains left there and some things thrown away by the officers and soldiers, so the small one didn't dare to slack off, and hurried back! Please decide! ”

After Cai Shan listened to it, there was nothing to doubt anymore! He waited and waited, but waited for such a result, 4,000 officers and soldiers!

How could the 4,000 officers and soldiers be like swatting flies and being swatted by sea wolves? How many soldiers does a sea wolf have? How could it be possible to wipe out 4,000 officers and troops like this?

Even if it is 4,000 pigs, it will take a long time for people to kill them! How much more are 4,000 living men? And they still have knives and guns, how can they be destroyed like this?

"Then have you asked the villagers of Luotian Village, how many thieves are there in the battle with General Liu?" Although Cai Shanji had confirmed that Liu Wutang's official army was finished, he still asked without giving up, at least he could understand the strength of the pirates.

"The little one asked, and the local villagers said that the number of thieves was not much, probably only more than 1,000 people! ……”

"Nonsense! That's impossible! The thief army has only more than 1,000 people, how can they wipe out the entire army of 4,000 officers and soldiers? How is this possible? I don't believe it! When Cai Shanji heard this, he couldn't help jumping up and waving his hand and shouting loudly.

The family smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "The little one couldn't believe it at first, but after asking many times, it was determined that many local villagers said in unison that there were only more than 1,000 pirates, and there were definitely not as many as the official army!"

However, according to the local villagers, these thieves are well-trained, well-founded, and have strict military discipline and are quite fierce! The officers and soldiers only fought with them for a moment before they were completely defeated, and they also set up an ambush at the other end of the mountain pass, blocking the way for the officers and troops to escape from the mountain pass.

In the end, under the attack of the thief army, the official army was defeated and the whole army was annihilated, and the visible thief army was also quite good at fighting and very strong on land, otherwise, General Liu's soldiers and horses would not be wiped out! ”

After hearing this, Cai Shan fell into the chair with a plop, and did not speak again for a long time.

His original plan, after getting the news, was almost all scattered, he never thought that the dignified 4,000 officers and soldiers, like tofu dregs, faced with only a thousand sea wolf thieves, were so vulnerable that they were swallowed by others in one bite.

How did this sea wolf's people train it? Cai Shanji almost didn't dare to imagine it, but one thing he knew was that if he didn't think of a way, it would be a matter of time for the sea wolf to defeat Tong'an County, and even the next attack on Quanzhou City under his feet would not be impossible.

If you want to rely on military strength to restrain this sea wolf, it seems that there is no hope now, although there is still an army of about 3,000 people on the side of Tingzhou Mansion, which is rushing to Zhangzhou Mansion, but after the end of the 4,000 officers and troops of Yanping Mansion, he no longer has any hope for the 3,000 officers and troops of Tingzhou Mansion.

Now he doesn't even have the idea of sending people to recruit the 3,000 officers and soldiers from the Tingzhou Mansion to help, because according to the sea wolf's combat effectiveness, even if he pulls the 3,000 officers and troops from the Tingzhou Mansion over now, it is just an extra sum to the merit of the sea wolf's subordinates.

If the 3,000 officers and soldiers in Tingzhou Mansion are also knocked out by the sea wolf, then there will basically not be many officers and soldiers available in the Zhangquan area, even including Xinghua Mansion, and then the officials on the Beijing side will not know how to jump out and impeach him!

Cai Shanji sat down in his chair, although he had a splitting headache, but he was still thinking about countermeasures, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of any good way to deal with the crisis in front of him.

couldn't help but scolded viciously at this time: If it weren't for the fact that this Zhu Yifeng was full of food and had to go to find trouble with this surnamed Yu, how could they Fujian cause such a catastrophe, this is all Zhu Yifeng's harm, and Lao Tzu will also write a bullet chapter to impeach him!

Just when Cai Shanji was at a loss, his staff member Wen Liufang walked out from behind, waved his hand and drove out the person who came back to report the news, bowed down and hugged his fists and whispered to Cai Shanji: "Dong Weng! This is not the place to talk, so please go back to your accommodation first! ”

Cai Shanji only realized at this time that this is now the prefect's yamen, but he is no longer the prefect here, and it is difficult to say some things here, it is difficult to ensure that people talk too much, and the matter of making peace with the sea wolf is still only known to very few people, if this matter is spread, it will definitely be used as a handle by some people with ulterior motives, making a big fuss, and it is indispensable to impeach him in a big way!

So he quickly nodded, left the prefect's yamen with Wen Liufang, and returned to his residence, then closed the door, retreated left and right, and asked Wen Liufang: "What does Mr. think about it now?" ”

Wen Liufang smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't expect it! The Sea Wolf tribe is so good at fighting, and the four thousand officers and soldiers are easily eaten by them, so I am afraid that Dong Weng can only agree to Yu Xiaotian's conditions! ”

Cai Shanji's face seemed to have been slapped a few times at this time, how ugly and ugly it was, and said angrily: "Agree to his conditions? If you agree to his conditions, won't it be tantamount to ruining the future of your own official? I don't know how many people are staring at this now, waiting for my impeachment! Give Weitouwan to this surnamed Yu, even if the official is not beheaded, at least he will be exiled to Qiongya! ”

Wen Liufang shook her head and said, "The students thought that this matter could actually be promised to them!" It's just that I'm afraid that the students need to talk to them again, and it's not okay to hand over Waitouwan to them openly, so can't we do this secretly? ”

Cai Shanji was stunned for a moment, and asked Wen Liufang a little confused: "Secretly!?" How can such a thing be traded in secret? The huge Waitou Bay, how could it be handed over to them so secretly without realizing it? ”
