Chapter 543: Pirates Attack the City

Liang Xin is just a marquis of the army of the army, and his poor facts are not very important, he is not subject to the weight of the superiors, and he has no family support, so this marquis Yu has been doing it for seven years, and it is certain that he will stand still. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

There are more than a dozen ports in Quanzhou, distributed in three bays, as soon as it is night, there is a roar of tide when standing on the shore, and it is deafening to hear; Although there is no wind on the sea today, it is also a very hard task to stay on this trestle at night.

Seven or eight van troops lazily shrank on the trestle, the tide overflowed and receded, in the distance is the lighthouse of Quanzhou, which is dozens of zhang high, the raging flames are swaying and burning, making people feel a little warm.

Liang Xin cursed a few words in a low voice, took a wine gourd from his waist, shook it, sighed, and asked the box army beside him: "Who still has wine, give it to me in two sips." ”

Everyone shook their heads, and one of them said, "My lord, didn't you drink alcohol for a strict vigil a few days ago?" The brethren did not dare to bring it. ”

Liang Xin said angrily: "They are full of food and support, of course they don't need to drink when they sleep with their mother-in-law in their arms at night, we will keep watch all night in this cold place, and we will let people live without alcohol?" ”

After a few complaints, he didn't think it was interesting, so he sat down on the trestle, leaned on the stake and took a nap, and when he woke up in a daze, he heard a box army calling him: "Marquis Yu...... Yu Hou ...... Take a look. ”

Liang Xin was furious: "What are you yelling at? ”

This woke everyone up, and the frightened Xiang Jun's hand pointed to the depths of the sea: "Look, what is that?" ”

Liang Xin lazily raised his eyes over, and immediately cheered up, the waves on the sea surface of the night fog seemed to roar, in the night, with the help of the lighthouse and the starlight, one by one ships broke free from the night, one by one...... Two ...... Seven ...... There is no end in sight.

Boat? Liang Xin denied that this was a merchant ship, and several bays in Quanzhou Port had to be locked at night to prohibit merchant ships, and if they wanted to enter the port, they had to wait at least until the early morning of the next day to enter, and these ...... By no means a merchant ship.

"No, pirate......" Liang Xin shouted, he could already see a huge ship rushing towards this trestle, and when it reached the offshore sea, he did not remove the canvas, and by the sea breeze, Liang Xin could almost see the mottled hull and the dark side of the ship, and the hull of the ship dissolved into a splash in the waves, spreading quickly.

Immediately, the rain of arrows in the sky flew from the darkness, Liang Xin was shocked, he was so shocked that he even forgot to run, there were pirates in the waters of Quanzhou in the past, but in the important land of Quanzhou, where did ordinary pirates dare to be presumptuous, and they were only bold to wait outside the bay for merchant ships to leave the port, and they dared to attack the pirates in Quanzhou, this was the first time he saw it.

The rain of arrows fell on the wooden stakes and trestle bridges, and an arrow penetrated through a box army on Liang Xin's side, which covered the wound and then rolled into the waves and disappeared.

"Run!" Liang Xin finally reacted, pulled his legs and ran, and then there were wails and shouts of killing, he only cared about his legs, and the sea breeze was quickly covered by blood, but he did not forget to shout: "Pirates attack the port!" ”

That night, the dense pirate ships went straight to the ports of Quanzhou, the big ships put down the small ships, or directly set up sampans on the trestle, and countless people rushed to the trestle with knives and guns, rushed to the docks, and rushed into the warehouse. On the closed gate of Quanzhou, torches were lit, and before the defenders could react, the pirates holding the ladder entered the city.

The commander of the local army resisted, but he couldn't hold it, so he had to abandon this barrier and withdraw his troops to stick to the inner city. The inner city was finally stabilized, but dozens of ports and wharves in Quanzhou, as well as the outer city, all fell into the hands of pirates.

The Ruixiang Inn was at the base of the outer city wall, and a team of red-eyed pirates rushed in, but now the entire inn was empty, and the bronze face of a pirate twitched, and with a blood-spilling long knife, he kicked over a table, and said viciously: "What about people? ”

One of the pirates said, "Didn't you run away?" ”

The leader shook his head, and there was anger in his eyes: "If you run, why is the whole inn so neat?" Oops, maybe they knew the news and prepared in advance. Come with me, brethren. ”

Coming out of the inn, the entire outer city of Quanzhou was full of firelight, and the screams of fear and the sinister laughter were endless. Most of the outer cities are the residences of sailors and merchants, and most of the inner dependents are arranged in the inner city, and these sailors and merchants also appear to be wrong at this time, but they are not easy to provoke, and they are all armed to resist the pirates.

It was not until dawn that the pirates retreated from Quanzhou like a tide and sailed into the sea, leaving calmly with a leaf full of plundered goods.

Cui Mansion, someone hurriedly went in early in the morning, in the main hall of Cui Mansion, there were people who stayed up all night, all waiting for the news restlessly here, seeing someone come in, everyone was angry, even Cui Jian was no exception, the first to ask was Cui Yan, Cui Yan said impatiently: "How is it, is Shen Ao dead?" ”

The man's face was depressed, and he hung his head and said, "It's gone." ”

"Gone?" Everyone gasped.

Cui Jian slapped the table fiercely: "Why don't you see it?" You make it clear. ”

The villain didn't know, only that when the pirates rushed in, there was no one in the whole inn, and there were no signs of falling on the tables and chairs, so they should not have fled in a hurry. Later, some of the brothers, fearing that there was a cellar in the inn, also called for a search, but there was nothing, and none of the more than 200 people were nowhere to be found. ”

"How so?" Cui Jian was stunned and said slowly: "Didn't the mansion tell people to keep an eye on them?" The day was still there, but later the gates of the inner city were closed, because they were called back at night for fear that the pirates would kill their brothers by mistake. So, the guy surnamed Shen already knew about our movements, and he withdrew the people in the gap after dark? Isn't it right that the gates of the outer city are to be closed at night? ”

Zhang Gonggong said: "The outer city is not better than the inner city, although the door is closed, but there is a river that leads to the edge of the outer city, and many goods are usually transported into the city from the port by river boat through that river, and the river will not stop at night, so don't you go from there?" ”

Cui Jian slapped the table case again, and said in annoyance: "Mistake, mistake!" Now that we are doing such things, but people have run away, do we still have a way to live? ”

But that Hu Hai said calmly at the moment: "What are you afraid of, if you run away, you will run away, as long as no one has evidence that we led the wolf into the house, what can the surnamed Shen do with us?" Besides, this time the pirates attacked the port, which happened to be pushed to the surname Shen, just said that he had just arrived in Quanzhou, which caused the anger of the people here, and many ship merchants were not angry, and gathered pirates to attack the city, as for those maritime merchants who instigated pirates, they just fabricated a few of them. All in all, it is necessary to let the court know that if the surnamed Shen stays on this side of Fujian Road, there will be a big incident in the future. If the court asks you to help again, will the emperor risk the world's condemnation and let him stab Lou Zi here? ”

As soon as Hu Hai said this, everyone calmed down, and Zhang Gong said fairly: "Yes, it's best to do it according to this meaning, it doesn't matter if the surname Shen is killed or not, as long as he gets out of Fujian Road, it's easy to say anything." ”

Cui Jian settled down, hesitated, and said, "I just don't know where that Shen Ao ran to." ”

After he said this, Hu Hai's face changed, and he suddenly got up: "Xinghua Army!" ”

Gonggong Zhang was also taken aback: "If the miscellaneous family were him, eighty percent would also run to the Xinghua Army." ”

There was a buzz in the hall for a while, and many people's faces became more and more ugly, Hu Hai said: "If you really want him to run away to the Xinghua Army, let him control the Xinghua Army, according to his past behavior, he will definitely lead the Water Army over." ”

Cui Jian said dumbfoundedly: "He must not be allowed to control the Xinghua Army." He left last night, and the Xinghua Army was three or four days away from Quanzhou at the earliest, and they didn't have a sea boat to sit on, so if they took the sea route, they could reach it in just one day. Quick, bring a pen and paper, I will go and write another letter to the commander of the Xinghua Army, and tell him directly, telling him that no matter what, he must not fall for the surname Shen, as long as there is a self-proclaimed Qin mission, take it immediately and then talk about it. ”

Cui Jian cursively wrote a letter and asked someone to pass it on immediately to Xinghua; After all the things were done, he sighed and said to everyone: "You don't have to worry, the surname Shen doesn't have the ability to reach the sky, as long as we report the letter early, will the commander of the Xinghua Army take precautions?" As long as there are precautions, the surname Shen can't turn the sky. He is the dragon who crosses the river, and our Fujian Road is not a place for him to go wild. ”

Hearing Cui Jian say this, everyone was somewhat relieved, and after staying up all night, which pampered person could afford it? One by one, they had already yawned and left one after another.

After everyone dispersed, Cui Jian called Cui Yan to the side, glanced at the nephew, and said slowly: "You go and write a letter to your father and tell him everything about this." Then he sighed and said: "It is said that Shen Ao slipped his head, but he didn't expect that it was really a loach, so let him go first, as long as he is willing to return to Beijing obediently, he will not worry about him." ”

Cui Zhi smiled and said: "When I was in the capital, I often heard people say how powerful he was, but when he arrived in Quanzhou, he fled in the wilderness. ”

The uncle and nephew talked for a while, and then they dispersed.

The sky is obscene and rainy, Xinghua Daying Water Village is close to Ninghai Town, this Ninghai is located everywhere in the camp, not far away there are more wharves, trestle bridges, sometimes there are sailors in and out of the warship, but it rains today, so there are no warships out. The Xinghua Army is one of the few maritime naval forces in the Great Song Dynasty, except for a Lianshui Army, there is only the Xinghua Army left, the Xinghua Army is full of 8,000 people, but the generals are also empty, so the real number of people may not be so much, plus the warships have been in disrepair for many years, and the commanders of the past dynasties have no intention of taking this into account, so the more broken, the occasional little scattered pirates are almost the same, and it will really hurt the muscles and bones if you really want to pull it out.

The water village is all lazy, the rain seems to be endless, so that the sailors and soldiers don't have much thought, occasionally come out to stand sentry, just holding the knife and gun in their hands and stomping their feet in the wind.

As for the big camp, it is even more casual, drinking and gambling money are everywhere, and the officials don't care anyway, and they can't take care of it, for example, the commander called a few camp prostitutes from Ninghai Town early in the morning to make fun in the big tent.

The conductor is like this, and the people below him are also happy, he doesn't care about things, anyway, he doesn't have to practice, everyone finds some fun by themselves.

These sailors didn't care about anything, they were all in groups in the tent, and some of them had quarrels, so they came out of the tent and beat you to the death in the muddy ground, and the others chased them out and clapped their hands in the rain, and it was very lively.

The treatment of the water army in the Xinghua army is not as good as that of the forbidden army, but it is much better than that of the Xiang army, plus there is oil and water on weekdays, and the officials not only do not deduct military salaries, but sometimes they will have a little scattered money, so everyone's life is not bad, but it is not embarrassing.

After all, the navy is thick in oil and water, unlike the box army, there is no land to scrape, the navy is different, go out for a turn, God knows how much filial piety of the maritime merchants can be fished, occasionally go out, no one sees the lonely sea ship is to grab it and no one cares, to the command level is even more so, not only can make money from here, the few maritime merchants in Quanzhou, but also send a regular amount of silver every year, more punctual than the sharpness of the imperial court, three thousand per month, a lot of money.

Everyone has money, this gambling is very popular, and the atmosphere of gambling money on Fujian Road is also heavy, so after the fight is over, everyone pats their butts and goes back to the tent to gamble, and even the two people who fought are still red-faced, and the next moment they are also angry to participate in the gambling game.

Sitting in the village is a capital head, this head is fat and big-eared, always smiling, laughing thicker than the profiteer, shaking the dice in his hand, and still shouting in his mouth: "It's all bought and left, Chen Er, bet quickly, hesitate what, everyone is waiting for you!" ”

Everyone also scolded Chen Er, Chen Er made a bet, the dice cup was put down and not opened, someone over there hurriedly entered the tent and said to the head: "My lord...... Yes...... Someone ......"
