"It's actually the Sea Dragon Regiment!"

received the news from Gan Xing and Chai in the first trial, and Chen Wu, who was far away in Dengzhou, was overjoyed. w Ninghai County's Haikou doesn't know how many shares there are. Every year, many of them die in internal strife or are purged by the Empire's government and sailors, but soon new pirates will appear. Even the local players of Ninghai County in the previous life may not be able to be famous for every pikou.

Chen Wu, as a player from the novice village in Taiping County, although he came here in the future, he would only know less about Haikou, and he would never know more than the local players in Ninghai.

But fortunately, the Sea Dragon Regiment is one of the few pirates he is familiar with.

It's not just because of the large size of the Sea Dragon Regiment, to be honest, in terms of numbers and strength, the Sea Dragon Regiment is not even the top among the many sea bandits. But the reason why it can be remembered by Chen Wu is because this Haikou organization has an S-level task chain on it.

In the game, all S-level tasks can cause a lot of turmoil on the forum. As a high-end player, familiarity with the forum is a necessary skill, and I have naturally heard of the situation of the Sea Dragon Regiment. At the end of this S-class quest chain, the reward is a set of system-given dock construction blueprints, as well as the high prestige of the pirate camp, and the ability to buy some "ownerless treasures" from them on a regular basis at a low price, which are actually stolen goods.

A set of dock construction blueprints, of course, is worth a thousand dollars in the game, and without the drawings, you can't build a dock recognized by the system, and the real world is naturally different. However, it was the blessing of this task chain that allowed Chen Wu to know a lot of information about the Sea Dragon Regiment.

For example, the dens of the Sea Dragon Regiment in Ninghai County and the location of islands in the sea off the Eastern Ocean.

The latter is really a bit far away, and Chen Wu currently has no water master, so he is a bit out of reach. But there is still a chance to go to the den of the Sea Dragon Regiment in Ninghai County and stop them before they return to the open sea. In addition to the golden tickets that can be exchanged everywhere. A batch of bonds and jewels was also looted. These things are bound to need to be sold through guò channels. And they also need to replenish a large number of supplies and food, and even customize new ships. So that the family in the nest needs to live.

According to the investigation, the pirates of the Sea Dragon Regiment did not have enough horses. Therefore, it is on foot, and the speed cannot be too fast. In addition, it takes time to sell stolen goods and replenish supplies, and if the Songjiang Army moves fast enough, it may not be able to stop them.

The order received by Gan Xing was issued based on this situation:

According to secret information, the Sea Dragon Regiment has a hidden den in Wanghai County, Quanzhou Prefecture, Ninghai County. It is very likely that the gang will stay in Wanghai County to sell stolen goods and replenish supplies, and then return to the open sea. The Governor's Palace had sent two hundred cavalry to Songjiang urgently. The Military Intelligence Department must be prepared to respond and find a guide who is familiar with the terrain of Ninghai, and cross the border to strangle the Haikou -- and if possible, capture them alive as much as possible.

In addition to this amazing order, a sentence was added: If it is absolutely necessary, do not reveal the identity of the Songjiang Army as much as possible.

According to the laws of the empire, it is not allowed to be arrested across counties. If a criminal in one county escapes outside the county, he can only apply for the issuance of a sea arrest official document, and ask other counties or even the whole empire to assist in the investigation. Chen Wuqing suppressed this stream of pirates who had fled to Wushan, and he should have taken this route as well. But here's the thing. Ninghai County's own military strength is weak, and its efficiency is even more difficult to guarantee, and there are even more than one of them who collude with the Haikou inside. Want to go this way. By the time the official document of sea fishing was issued, the people of the Sea Dragon Regiment would have already been at ease in the open sea.

What's more, even if the official document was issued immediately, Chen Wu was not optimistic about the defenders of Ninghai County. If you really have that ability, can you still make Haikou so arrogant?

Since you can't count on others, you can only do it yourself.

During this period, there is a place for taboos. Although Chen Wu was motivated by public intentions, after all, he rashly sent troops across the border without the permission of the center and neighboring counties. In addition, it is not long before Zhao'an, and it is easy to cause a rebound from the center. Chen Wu didn't want to stimulate the center to turn his face so quickly. So after hesitating for a moment, I added such a sentence at the end.

This consideration is not difficult to speculate. Gan Xing only thought about it for a moment before he understood Chen Wu's concerns.

He quickly had an idea of how to do this. For example, under the guise of the Songjiang Chamber of Commerce. With the dominant position of the Songjiang Army in the Songjiang Army, there must be no chamber of commerce that dares to say a word. Two hundred cavalrymen dressed up in disguise and went directly to Quanzhou, and quickly returned after succeeding. As long as there is no handle left, most of the situation in Ninghai County will not be able to find out, and most of them will not dare to anger Songjiang Jun and Chen Wu because of this.

What really cares about him is the help of this intelligence!

Each pirate gang has its own channels for selling stolen goods, and this is definitely a secret. Gan Xing really couldn't imagine how Chen Wu learned about this. Moreover, even if in addition to the Military Intelligence Department, Chen Wu had another secret intelligence channel under his command that he didn't know, but this efficiency was too terrifying, right?

Calculating the time, as soon as the news of the Sea Dragon Regiment passed, the Governor's Mansion immediately sent back a plan for disposal and response.

What kind of intelligence agency can detect this in an instant?

Or is it?

Gan Xing subconsciously remembered many other abnormalities, and thought he had found the answer. The doubts in my heart were dispelled, and in my place there was a greater fanaticism.

Only half a day later than the messenger, two hundred cavalry galloped to the city of Ossan.

In order to do this, the two hundred cavalrymen were all extravagant with one man and two horses, and only brought two days' worth of water and rations. In order to ensure success, Yan Dongxing personally led the team. Because he was well aware of the pressure of the Wushan Bloody Case on the governor, although he was dusty and tired all the way, Yan Dongxing had no intention of resting. After a few simple replenishments, the decision to hit the road was immediately made.

Gan Xing knew Chen Wu's efficiency, and he didn't hold back in the slightest. Half a day was enough time for him to prepare for the reception and prepare the guide in Wushan City. Because the cavalry led by Yan Dongxing did not know enough about the Sea Dragon Regiment, Gan Xing even decided to personally bring a few personnel from the Military Intelligence Department with him.

So, after the two cavalry brigades stopped for a while, they immediately left the city from the east gate of Wushan Mansion and went straight to Ninghai County along the official road.

Here it is necessary to mention the topography of Ninghai County, which is roughly rectangular from Songjiang Tiannan County, and the terrain of Ninghai County is long and narrow. The area is only half of that of Songjiang, and it is even slightly insufficient. There are a total of three prefectures, lined up from north to south, namely Quanzhou in the middle of the northernmost sandbar and Hualien in the south. At its narrowest, it is only 300 kilometers wide. Because of this, many players joked before the crossing that if the wind in the eastern ocean blows a little stronger, the easternmost part of Songjiang can smell the sea!

Such terrain determines that Ninghai County has no east-west depth. After spending half a day crossing the border between Wushan and Ninghai County, two hundred Songjiang cavalry under the banner of the Yunzhong Chamber of Commerce directly entered the territory of Quanzhou Prefecture.

Perhaps in order to facilitate the sale of stolen goods, Wanghai County is only a dozen kilometers away from the capital city of Quanzhou. Therefore, the operation against the Sea Dragon Regiment must be hit with one blow, and no rumors must be leaked. Otherwise, with the slightest change, this gang of pirates would be able to go directly to sea along Quanzhou Port and escape into the vast waters of the East Ocean.

一qiē looks quite smooth.

After being instructed by a guide who was familiar with the place, and paying a small amount of money to bribe the checkpoints along the way in Ninghai County, the cavalry of the "Cloud Chamber of Commerce" approached Quanzhou along the way after symbolic interrogation. The cavalry brigade turned into a group, put away the banner of the Yunzhong Chamber of Commerce, disguised itself as a group of pirates, raided and captured a remote village on the edge of Wanghai County, and then took control.

As for why a group of pirates were all formed cavalry, and the armor of the officers and soldiers was completely under the robes...... If you have any opinions, go ask Haikou!

Anyway, Matsue County has nothing to do with this matter.

Using this humble village as a foothold, the cavalry rested and hid their tracks for the time being. Gan Xing of the Military Intelligence Department infiltrated Wanghai County in disguise with the guide.

Until the middle and late stages of the empire, the prosperity of Quanzhou Port was no less than that of Donghai County Seaport. However, the setting of the Imperial Sailors has made the situation divided. In order to cope with the increasingly unscrupulous attacks of the Lena Dynasty's Ocean Naval Division in recent years, the empire, which did not attach much importance to the Naval Division, concentrated most of the main forces of the Naval Division in Donghai County, further north. If the strength of the empire's sailors is ten, then the East China Sea has at least eight points, and the sailors of Ninghai County only have two points left.

It is precisely because of this that the pirates will mainly invade and harass Ninghai, instead of going to Donghai County or Lena to trouble.

In short, it was because of the weakening of the naval division and land military strength of Ninghai County that the situation in Quanzhou Port became more and more depressed, and even Wanghai County near Quanzhou was also affected, which was not as good as before. But even so, this place is close to the southeast coast after all. It may not be comparable to Songjiang, but compared to Yanyun County or Wuwei County in the northwest, it is still passable.

Walking along the street with a very different style from Songjiang, Gan Xing couldn't help but open his eyes. You can see fishermen everywhere here, and freshly painted wooden boats with fishing nets and pennies...... From time to time, there are also goods with obvious Western Continent style, and even blonde and blue-eyed foreign merchants.

If you look at it directly from the street, you won't get anything out of it. The sea pirates of the Sea Dragon Regiment are not stupid, and it is impossible for them to stand on the street stupidly and openly sell stolen goods. Gan Xing came from afar, and he didn't rush to inquire about the situation here. He knew very well that there was not just one group of pirates here, but many pirates and their internal responses. And there is often information sharing between different pirates.

If you really ask the Sea Dragon Regiment directly, you will inevitably be startled by the snake and be targeted by a group of pirates.

Commanding the military situation for so long, Gan Xing's methods have become quite sophisticated, and he is no longer the homeless man who fled from Ganding Mansion back then. He looks like a very ordinary out-of-town businessman, going around from time to time, picking out some goods, but not in a hurry to buy them. After a circle, it stopped at the only place in Wanghai County where a large sum of grain could be sold.

Zheng Ji Grain Merchant!

Chen Wu's point to him is already very obvious: the Sea Dragon Regiment is likely to sell the stolen goods here and buy a large number of supplies and food to transport back to the lair! (To be continued.) )>
