Chapter 233: Breaking the Sea Bandits' Retreat
Barrack.
Cao Minde, who was the commander of the capital, looked at Tang Ruocheng with a shocked expression, and after he was silent for a while, he said to Tang Ruocheng, "Mr. Tang, is this really the case?" ”
"Isn't it going too far for us to do that?"
"Lord Cao, if the trouble of the bandits does not subside, the anger of the ministers in the court and the anger of the prefect."
"I wonder if Lord Cao can afford it?" Tang Ruocheng looked at Cao Minde and asked.
"I'm just borrowing the merchant ships of those rich merchants, and we will naturally compensate those merchants afterwards."
"Isn't it possible to get them to do what we ask?"
"These merchants are bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, if I go alone, they will definitely not take me, a teacher, in their eyes!"
"If you go with me, they will not dare to act rashly!"
"We sank those merchant ships in the Sanshakou area and blocked the river, even if those bandits had a lot of water skills, they couldn't get away from the river."
"Just wait for the dispatch of the imperial court to come, aren't those pirates just turtles in the urn?"
Tang Ruocheng looked at Cao Minde, the commander of the capital, and continued, "Lord Cao, this move doesn't require the Tiger Fu to transfer troops, it's just for you to make a posture to deter those merchants, isn't this also possible?" ”
"Lord Cao, you should know that the prefect is a resolute person, if you let him know that you did nothing during the period when the bandits caused trouble in Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"
"What do you think the prefect will think of you?"
"Do you think your black hat is still left on your neck?"
Tang Ruocheng was born as a Jinshi, and his mouth was even more powerful.
was just a few words, and Cao Minde, who was the commander of the capital, was frightened into a cold sweat by Tang Ruocheng's words.
Cao Minde, as a subordinate of the prefect's lord Wang Shouren, of course he knew how powerful this prefect's lord was.
If he really didn't do anything about this banditry, then the prefect Wang Shouren would definitely settle accounts with him after the autumn when he returned to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Thinking of the chilling eyes of the prefect Wang Shouren, Cao Minde's whole person was not good.
Seeing Cao Minde gritting his teeth, he nodded to Tang Ruocheng and said, "Mr. Tang, I, Cao, listen to you!" ”
"What you ask me to do, I will do it!"
Without further ado, Tang Ruocheng took Cao Minde and the others to the big families who owned merchant ships.
Shipwrecks block the river!
This is Huang Tinghui's strategy set up early on, the reason why the pirates are so arrogant to enter Ruian County, the biggest hole card is undoubtedly their ships.
As long as they escape to the ship, it will be theirs.
And the sailors of the Dasheng Kingdom have been out of battle for a long time, and it is impossible for them to be their opponents at all.
They just need to go down the river and rush directly out of the sea.
Then they really escaped, and no one could do anything about them at that time.
But if in the Sanshakou area, all the merchant ships of the big families will be sunk.
Then they will create an artificial barrier in this water, and the pirate ships will not be able to go down the river from the Sanshakou area, but can only be stopped in this water.
At that time, those pirates will really be turtles in an urn, and they will become meat pressed on the chopping board.
At this time, the pirates who retreated from Ruian County did not know Huang Tinghui's plan, and they brought a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry to the carriage, and the carriage was full of gold, silver and jewelry, all of which were looted by these bandits from Ruian County.
The greedy pirates wanted to bring more riches out, but none of their wagons could pack more wealth into wooden chests.
But in the end, when they could not fit the gold, silver and jewelry, they had no choice but to give up.
After all, for the pirates, what they are most concerned about at the moment is whether the merchant ships of Chong'en Temple are controlled by the officers and soldiers of the Great Sheng Kingdom.
In this case, those anxious pirates were naturally eager to put on their wings and fly towards the vicinity of Chong'en Temple.
The survivors of Ruian County were tied up at random by these pirates and thrown into the dilapidated courtyards.
On the one hand, this is one of Huang Tinghui's promises to let them leave and not to be entangled.
On the other hand, if you bring these people with you, it will undoubtedly greatly slow down their progress.
Therefore, the bandits could only throw all these people down, and then evacuate from Ruian County in a hurry.
"Brother Hui, just let them go?"
"Look at their carriage, the boxes inside are all filled with the hard-earned money of the people of Ruian County!"
"This group of butchers, they slaughtered the lives of so many innocent people!"
Zhang Cheng watched those bandits swaggering and retreating from Ruian County, and he gritted his teeth and said to Huang Tinghui.
"These bandits are here for money, as long as the surviving civilians survive."
"As for money, it's all outside the body!"
"Let's let these pirates be arrogant for a while, even if they have so much wealth, they have the life to take it and not to bring it back!"
Looking at the bandits who were swaggering and retreating from Ruian County, Huang Tinghui's tone was very calm and indifferent.
He rushed to Ruian County this time to save Li Zisong and others, and secondly, to save the people who survived the catastrophe in Ruian County.
As for more, there are its own countermeasures later.
Now that these pirates are so arrogant, they will never know that they are already in trouble.
"It's not that you don't report it, the time has not come!"
"Brother Hui, when you wait, you have to let Zhang Cheng kill him!"
Zhang Cheng clenched his fists, he looked at the pirates who swaggered away, and said in a muffled voice to Huang Tinghui.
"This is natural!"
"Then will be their blood, and their heads!"
"Honor our dead relatives and friends, and pay tribute to those innocent and tragic people!" Huang Tinghui nodded to Zhang Cheng, "Let's go in, Mr. Zisong and Mr. Xu Wei should still be inside!" ”
"We have more important things to do, and we can't delay for a moment!"
"We have to make good use of every moment at the moment, and finally we can wipe out all these pirates without blood!" Huang Tinghui said to Zhang Cheng in a deep voice.
"Well, Brother Hui!"
"Your head is bright, 10,000 Zhang Cheng can't be worth you alone!"
"What do you say, Zhang Cheng listens to you!" Zhang Cheng said to Huang Tinghui very boldly.
As for the others, they saw that Huang Tinghui had scared all the pirates back with just a few arrows.
When these people looked at Huang Tinghui again, they already regarded Huang Tinghui as a "god"-like figure.
If he wasn't a "god" figure, how could he let these bandits leave Ruian County without spending a single soldier or even starting a battle?
This is something that only a character like Zhuge Kongming can do.
Therefore, at present, Huang Tinghui's prestige has risen in the minds of these people.
