Section 14 Slave Ships

The adjutant general was also very happy when he heard Liu Renyuan say this, but his face immediately changed, and he pointed to the front and said to Liu Renyuan: "Captain, what dogs actually threw people into the sea, and after catching up, please allow your subordinates to deal with the murderer personally." ”

Liu Renyuan glanced back and nodded to the deputy general, these things were originally his duties, he had been running at sea for a few years, he knew about the murderous acts of pirates, the fleet floating on the surface of the Tang Sea was only the Lingnan fleet, and the remaining ships of the Inspection Division in various places were only two or three kittens, and it was okay to deal with merchant ships, but it was beyond his power to deal with the vicious pirates.

It's just that today these people who dare to throw people into the sea in front of the fleet are relatively rare, and the people in the Tang Navy are all dead people?

As soon as the deputy general gave the order, the commander's Mulan boat quickly opened the two auxiliary sails, the speed of the ship suddenly increased a lot, the bow of the ship plunged into the sea, and jumped up suddenly, the special hook anchor on the eight-ox crossbow had been installed, the sergeant quickly knocked the wedge into the fixed hole on the deck, and the big man in charge of aiming had begun to lock the ship in front.

Those people who were thrown into the sea, Liu Renyuan, no longer had hope, they couldn't be saved, today's waves are three feet long, the big boat is close to the people who fell into the water, the biggest possibility is to press those people into the sea, let the boat go down is even more undesirable, within close range, can not grasp the position, the boat will also be hit into pieces by the big boat.

If the people on the sea are from the Tang Dynasty, Liu Renyuan may think of some ways, but when he sees a large piece of bald head shaved on his head, he doesn't have much to save people, he has been blowing the sea breeze for a while, it is better to rest for a while, this time to Dengzhou, it is best not to meet the master in the academy, otherwise it will be troublesome to be forced to watch "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", Mr. Jin Zhu has always hoped that he can get back a live mermaid for him to see, so as to refute Yun Ye's strange theories, It is better not to mix the arguments between gentlemen.

After lying in the hammock for a while, the adjutant walked in. happily said to Liu Renyuan: "Deputy commander." We are considered to have made a fortune today, the ship is full of women, it is the women of Silla, this group is Korean, they snatched a lot of women from Silla, and they were going to sell them to our Datang, and they were thrown into the sea more than a dozen. But there's more.

"All eight ships? In the future, I will be called the captain of our school, and the deputy commander of the mother's house," Liu Renyuan asked in surprise.

"You are already a lieutenant general of Guide, why are you still called a captain, didn't the marshal say it, the will for your promotion is in him. Why can't you call the deputy commander? ”

"Don't talk a little nonsense, I haven't announced the decree for a day, I'm Captain Zhaowu, you can't be sloppy in these things in the army, you didn't let those women get on the boat, right? If you violate the ban, you will have a head and cannot afford to be cut at will. ”

Liu Renyuan doesn't care about these women, but he has let outsiders get on the boat. He was very taboo. There has been a ban on the trolls for a long time. Outsiders must observe for fifteen days when they get on board, and this is an iron law. Yun Ye announced this ban as early as the day the Lingnan Water Division was built, and it has been strictly enforced until now, and there has been no mistake.

"No, Captain, the Admiral did not let them on board, but sent some brethren down to those ships to take over the ships."

Liu Renyuan put on his boots and came to the bow of the ship again, only to see that the fleet had regained its original military formation, and there were eight more Goryeo merchant ships in the military formation.

"Captain, the last general will send to the merchant ship is full of well-known sailors, and it is expected that they will not be reckless." Seeing that Liu Renyuan looked at the Goryeo merchant ship with a thoughtful look, the deputy general thought that he was worried about military discipline, and hurriedly added.

"Who asked you about those women, I asked you where are the Koreans?"

"Koreans? I asked where the nest was, and what were you doing with them when they were thrown into the sea. The brothers who got on the ship reported that the women on the ship were not seen, that they had no clothes in the winter, and that they were huddled together to keep warm, and that there was no difference between the cabin and hell. ”

"Forget it, get some food and old clothes for the brothers on those boats, when you get to Datang, how can you say that they are all people, you have to look like someone, tell those guys, let's not bully the poor people, there are ten days to Dengzhou, it's February, the sea in Dengzhou should be unsealed, let's hurry up, the handsome is still waiting in Dengzhou."

Rescuing these women is just a small episode on the voyage, Liu Renyuan did not take it to heart, every year on the sea voyage there will always be some pirates and traffickers, and if they encounter pirates, they will be killed, if they find the nest, there will always be a very rich harvest, if they meet human traffickers, they will be thrown into the sea, this is the standard process, and a large part of the income of the Lingnan sailor now comes from pirates and human traffickers.

Liu Renyuan was about to go back to the warehouse to continue sleeping, but found that a merchant ship next to him suddenly had a commotion, and several ragged women were desperately calling to the big ship, waving, and the voice came faintly, it was actually Chinese.

The adjutant general's face suddenly turned red, he got on the ship just now, and I didn't see anyone say that he was from the Tang Dynasty, why did a few pop up now?

Liu Renyuan grabbed the rope and immediately swung to the boat, pointed to one of the women and asked, "Which of you is from the Tang Dynasty?" "Those women can't say anything just by kowtowing.

The deputy general also swung over, and roared angrily: "I asked you just now who are the Tang people, why don't you say it, what are you calling blindly, since you are a Tang Dynasty, what are you afraid of when you see us."

Liu Renyuan stopped the deputy general, squatted down and said warmly: "Don't be afraid, since you can say our words, then you have some relationship with Datang, as long as you say it, after we find out, we will naturally send you home." “

"Master Jun, the little woman's surname is Tian, and the husband's surname is Fang, originally a person from the river, and returned to his hometown with his husband to worship his ancestors, because his husband's friend is a maritime merchant, so he took a sea boat, but he didn't expect to meet these strongmen on the sea, so he killed the husband and friends of the slave family, and plundered the slave family here, and they saw that the slave family had a little bit of a look, so they ......"

"This sister-in-law doesn't have to be sad, those thieves have already sunk into the sea and fed the fish, you have to get out of trouble now, and it is only right to live well."

After saying the words of consolation, he saw that the woman's clothes were really tattered, so he took off his outer robe from himself, put it on her, pointed to the other women and asked, "They are also from the Tang Dynasty?" “

"No, they are poor people, and if it weren't for their help, the slave family would have followed the clumsy husband a long time ago. We, the Tang people, are rewarded by the grace of dripping water, and they are reciprocated by the springs, so the slave family dared to take them out and pray to the general for a way to live. ”

Liu Renyuan glanced at the thin woman in front of him in surprise, and saw that she spoke clearly and elegantly, maybe she was literate, which was rare, especially at this time and knew how to repay her kindness, such a woman was really rare.

"You're right, that's how I am a Datang person, this group of thieves actually dares to act arbitrarily in my Datang Sea, which is particularly hateful, we are killing into the nest of thieves and cutting the grass and eradicating the roots."

While speaking, a lot of old clothes were sent from the big ship, Fang Tian naturally instructed those women to put on their clothes, and then sent the rest of the clothes into the cabin, and he said to Liu Renyuan: "General, the slave family is already a broken flower and a willow, and there is no shame to go home again, and I can't say anything to serve the general, I just ask the general to reward a bite of food, and allow the slave family to manage these women, they are all poor people, and ask the general to be merciful." ”

Liu Renyuan admired this woman very much, he came from the academy, although he also valued chastity, but the academy said that the woman lost her virginity under a strong external force, and it was the man who was ashamed, and it was not the woman's business. The arrogant students who have long been taught by the academy agree with this sentence, a man who can't even protect his wife, how can he have the face to accuse a woman of losing her virginity.

"Very good, Fang Tian's clan, the army is all men, it is indeed not suitable to control these women, it is very good for you to manage it, but after landing, your stay depends on the arrangement of Hou Ye, you don't have to worry, Hou Ye always has a way, since this woman has arrived in Datang, I am afraid she will not be able to go back, even if she goes back, how good do you think the end will be?"

Fang Tian nodded gloomily, after three months of getting along day and night, she can already speak some Silla dialect, and she also has some understanding of the customs there, if it weren't for the cold winter to close the port, they would have been sold to all parts of the Tang Dynasty, and there is only a dead end waiting for them, no trafficker dares to sell Datang women, even human traffickers who are hand-eyed and open-minded, as long as they go to the government to complain about their grievances, whoever is involved, that person will be a felony, so the eve of the big ship landing is when they die in Huangquan, those Japanese people who were thrown into the sea, It's your own end.

After Liu Renyuan returned to the big boat, he left these women behind, took out the map of Hebei Province, and couldn't figure out why he wanted to drive the sea boat to the Liao River.

Tracing the river, this is a joke, how did the Mulan boat go into the river? Dajiang may be able to, but Liaohe is absolutely not good, why do you have to drive in, why does Dashuai have to run behind the Goryeo, it is not a national war, there is no backup, there is no war ahead, only his own lone army, no, I must see Dashuai as soon as possible and ask clearly.

He was worried, but he didn't know that Yun Ye's brain was about to explode, none of the methods given by the bigwigs could be used, the Liao River was turbulent and narrow, so it was not suitable for fleet navigation at all.

On the opposite side of the sea is the Beisha City, the city wall is built with the mountain, stretching for about ten miles, the great shore is strangely handsome, and it is magnificent. The canyon in the city is meandering, the cliffs outside the city are all around, camp in the city, enter and attack, retreat can defend, it is an easy to defend and difficult to attack the camp, as long as they have a little movement at the mouth of the Liao River, the Goryeo naval army stationed in Sanshanpu will pour out and block themselves on the Liao River, and it is difficult to think that the whole army will be destroyed at that time. (To be continued.) )
