Appearance:

Li Yuzhu learned that Xia Jing had a channel to learn about the information of the little son of the Yuan family, and happily stood up and thanked him: "Zhu'er thank you grandmother first, or do you understand my apprehensive feelings." ”

"It's not too late to thank you when I get Yuan Xiaogongzi's information about this matter, I may not be able to inquire if I let people inquire, and even if I get the news, it may not be accurate." Xia Jing reminded her first.

Li Yuzhu is a good boy who knows how to be grateful and can distinguish between good and bad, and he has a request for others, no matter whether he can do it or not, but this heart is always worth thanking.

With Li Yuzhu accompanying her in Yigui Courtyard, Xia Jing felt that time passed quickly, and it didn't take long for the day to get dark.

When Li Chengmu came back, she reluctantly said goodbye and left.

"What are you talking about? Talking so speculatively? ”

Li Chengmu came back from outside, went back to his yard first, took a shower and changed his clothes.

"The topic of the girl's house." Xia Jing replied casually, and asked, "When you go to the barracks today, are things arranged?" ”

Speaking of business, Li Chengmu put the little curiosity that had just risen behind him, "The materials are ready, a few days ago, a batch was prepared, and some fresh fruits and vegetables were added today, all of which are ready, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, everyone is waiting for you to lead us to the sea." ”

Xia Jing: "That's fine, have a good rest tonight, and we'll set off tomorrow." ”

I wanted to go to sea last time, but because I temporarily learned that the team brought back a lot of sugarcane from Annan, Xia Jing let the sea team go to sea, but she herself went back to Fucheng first to let Ding Daqiang prepare for the affairs of the sugar factory.

I've been busy until now, and everything is running normally.

Xia Jing didn't know when the fleet would come back, so she couldn't help but let Li Chengmu rent more than a dozen sea ships from Haoqiang, just to go to sea to grab land from other countries.

The sea soldiers who have been trained for a period of time have already gone out with the ship, and now there are still a number of sea soldiers in the barracks who have been urgently trained, which are suitable for leading out to sharpen.

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, Xia Jing led Li Chengmu and his personal guards out of the house.

King Qian, who was running and exercising in the garden, faintly heard the sound of neat footsteps, so he stretched his neck to look out, "Who made this movement?" ”

Anu ran a few laps with King Qian, King Qian was tired and sweating, but he followed beside him without blushing or panting, King Qian ran faster, he ran faster, King Qian slowed down, and he slowed down.

Anyway, all the rhythm is regulated by King Qian.

He listened to King Qian's question, and then said, "It should be the princess who has left the palace." ”

King Qian glanced at the blue sky, "The sun hasn't come out yet, what is she going out to do so early?" ”

Anu replied with a solemn face: "It should be going to sea, a few days ago, the old slave heard that the fifth master's team was raising living materials." ”

"Why haven't you ever mentioned this?"

Anu: "It's the old slave who has derelict his duty!" ”

King Qian didn't think to blame him, so he waved his hand and said, "If you want to go to sea to rob pirates, I don't know if she is a pirate or a pirate is a pirate, or is they more pirates than pirates?" ”

As he spoke, he turned his head and asked, "Do you know where they went to sea?" ”

Anu shook his head, the sea is vast and boundless, where to find a few ships entering the sea?

There is no place to find!

Overseas places have always been extralegal places that the Dayu court has never been involved in.

If you want to fight overseas, the first thing is the problem of grain and grass, and the extension of sea routes will lead to longer transportation lines, and the weakening of logistics and supply capabilities is the biggest problem in fighting overseas.

Another problem is that people are not familiar with the sea, and it is easy to lose direction in the vast sea, and if you go in the wrong direction, you may return home forever.

In the history of the Yu Dynasty, there have been several times when the ban on the sea has been lifted, until now the official of the Yu Dynasty has not been a sea ship to other countries, and only the fleets of all parties can go to sea and dare to go to sea.

Xia Jing led the team to go to sea and didn't dare to run too far, because this month is the peak period of typhoons, and she should maintain no less awe of the sea.

There are colonies of the Xiyi people in Annan, and there are also wharves built by the Xiyi people.

The Xiyi people crossed the ocean to the east, and occupied land everywhere along the eastern coast, and because their weapons were relatively advanced in this era, they were able to occupy a territory with a few hundred men for themselves.

Xia Jing's target this time is the port of Annan Yi'an Province, and others may be afraid of the Xiyi people, thinking that the country of Xiyi is strong and invincible.

But Xia Jing, who came from the end of the world, knew that the country of the Xiyi people was actually a small country, and the reason why she was arrogant was completely by virtue of the weapon in her hand, the tiger and the fox.

Their weapons, she also has, and even modified weapons are better than those of the Xiyi.

"Mother, there are a lot of sea ships parked in the harbor!" Lee Seungmu handed her the binoculars in his hand.

Xia Jing took over to observe the port ahead, and a row of sea boats stopped at the coastal pier in turn.

I counted them, and there were at least twenty or so of them.

"Sure enough, the wharf built by the Xiyi people has a lot of inventory."

Li Chengmu held the railing on the edge of the boat with both hands, turned his head and asked, "It's going to be dark in less than an hour, do we need to stop here first, and wait for the evening, let's do a sneak attack again?" ”

"Let everyone lower the sails and stop moving forward!" With that, Xia Jing turned around and went into the cabin first.

Li Chengmu beckoned Xia He, Long Yutian, and Sima Lu, who were standing not far away.

Xia He is a native of Yanzhou in the north, he has never learned to swim since he was a child, and it was during this period of time that he trained with Li Chengmu to get used to the life on the boat.

And Long Yutian and Sima Lu have both lived in Lingnan for more than 20 years, and they have long adapted to life in Lingnan, and they have also adapted the fastest to drifting on the sea.

Several people entered the cabin, saluted Xia Jing and sat down.

"I just counted nine soft sailing boats, and the rest should be large fishing boats in Annam. Do you have any good advice on this? ”

After Xia Jing finished speaking, she looked at everyone.

Li Chengmu turned his head to look at Long Yutian, "My suggestion is to wait for a sneak attack after dark, what does Mr. think?" Or this sneak attack, what do you have to add in terms of details? ”

Long Yutian pondered for a moment and said, "According to the soldiers brought by us, the sneak attack may really succeed. If we really want to sneak attack, our side will win because there are more soldiers, and the other side's sea ships docked at the dock should only have the crew on duty.

In this way, we can take advantage of this sneak attack to control the ships, and if they find out, the worst case scenario is to sail the ships out of the harbor, and they will not be able to pursue us without them.

Even if there were ships chasing us, they would not pose a threat to us compared to the number of ships on both sides. ”

Xia Jing: "Since Mr. also agreed to the sneak attack, then we will take advantage of the darkness to discuss the details." ”

In the coastal waters of the South China Sea, except for the invasion of the Xiyi people, they have never been harassed by coastal countries.

The guards on duty at the wharf of Yi'an Mansion, in fact, had already discovered their existence when Xia Jing's fleet appeared at sea level.

It's just that the guards on duty didn't take it seriously when they saw that the sea ship was not a soft sailing boat, and only thought that it was a family fleet in the coastal state capital that was fishing.

When it was dark to finish eating, when it was time to take over the shift, they forgot to explain the matter, so that the officers on duty at night did not know that there were ships in the open sea.

In the dark open sea, Xia Jing gave an order, and the fleet set sail again and sailed to Yi'an Wharf.

In the dark of night, sailing on the sea, the lighthouse at Nghe An Pier is the best way to navigate.

On the lighthouse, several staff on duty put wine and meat on the table, and for a long night, only sake and braised meat chatted about their loneliness at night.

Xia Jing sat on the main boat, looking at the sea dotted with only stars, and her own sea boat slowly approached the dock.

When the boats approached the pier, each boat lowered a few small boats.

When the boat was lowered into the water, it shot at the ship moored at the pier like an arrow from the string.

On the sea ships docked at Yi'an Wharf, there were a few people on duty on each sea boat, as if they had not been attacked all year round, and the guards on duty were careless and had no vigilance at all.

They disliked that it was too boring for a few people to stay on a sea ship, so the people on several ships got together, drank and gambled, and made a lot of noise.

Such a lack of vigilance has cheapened Xia Jing's fleet and made it easier for them to act.

It was easy for them to transfer the unoccupied sea boats, and several sea boats that gathered dozens of people were placed at the end.

The soldiers quietly touched the sea boat, and when they were unprepared, the soldiers set out, and aimed a flintlock pistol at their heads, and the guards on duty, who were already drunk, broke out in a cold sweat, and their drunken and dizzy heads immediately sobered up.

"You, who are you? What do you want to do? ”

This time she went to sea, as long as Xia Jing was in Fucheng, the guards came.

At this time, Wei Dong held a gun against a man who looked like a leader, "Kneel, surrender and don't kill!" ”

The two Chinese languages do not speak each other, of course, the conversation between the two is followed by the person in charge of the Lan family's frequent running business at sea, and the communication between the two sides is translated by them.

The two sides of the hostile sides can be considered to have no barriers!

The guards on duty listened to their words, and all those who were afraid of death honestly squatted on the ground, waiting for the release.

Wei Dong led the soldiers and quickly controlled the ship.

The other ships were in much the same situation, the officers on duty were slightly drunk, and their reaction was half a beat slower, and by the time they tried to resist, the soldiers had already taken control of the whole field, leaving them with remorse.

When all the boats were under control, someone stood under the lamp and asked for a flag from the main ship in the distance.

Long Yutian put down the binoculars and said excitedly: "Princess, it's done!" ”

Xia Jing was overjoyed when she heard this, "Really, since it's done, then let's lean the boat over!" ”

The supplies on the ship were almost consumed, only a small half was left, just enough to replenish some at the docks.

Long Yutian turned around and instructed the little guy next to him to go to the wheelhouse of the cabin to deliver the word.

The main ship was moving at full speed and approached the pier.

Li Chengmu's private soldiers quietly occupied Yi'an Wharf on this dark and windy night.

Xia Jing tried her best to spread the news more slowly, buying a little more time for her side to prepare.

When Dongfang confessed, all the sea ships docked at the dock were cleared out, and the prisoners were all imprisoned in the bottom compartments of several ships, the air was not circulated, dark and damp, and no one could have imagined that the day was still the object of envy of the people.

Just one night later, they turned out to be captives!

Xia Jing ordered the team to go ashore and invite the Xiyi people who occupied the place over.

In Yi'an City, most of the Xiyi people live together, they go to school together, have holidays together, and play more excitedly than children.

I don't know, I thought it was my grandfather who brought my grandson, because of the next generation.

"Princess, do you think there are many Xiyi people in the city?" Long Yutian really felt a little restless, too excited.

Xia Jing sneered and asked, "There are not many Xiyi people in the entire world, how many Xiyi people will there be in Yi'an, which is thousands of miles away?" ”

The princess's words, Long Yutian felt that it made sense after thinking about it for a while, and he was even more vigilant.

Xiyi was able to control Yi'an when there were few people in Yi'an, which shows that they also have extraordinary places.

But in fact, the reason why the Xiyi people took the city of Yi'an so easily was that the troops of Yi'an were too poor.

Their force is inferior to that of porters who carry goods at the docks.

Xia Jing's soldiers rushed into the city, frightening the Xiyi people in the city to run the fastest.

But no matter how fast it is, there are still many Xiyi people who have been caught by the soldiers.

The soldiers had a clear division of labor, pursued the Xiyi people, collected the materials, and soon put the booty into the car.

Long Yutian looked at the steady stream of grain and grass supplies, and the whole person almost went crazy.

"There won't be another food shortage in our team now."

When Xia Jing heard this, she smiled and said: "There is always a purpose in fighting, if we come to occupy Yi'an today, the momentum is very strong, it is completely for the next soldiers to manage the land here more conveniently." ”

With land comes food.

In terms of food and security, everyone is inclined to another beauty, that is, Xia Jing, their princess!

And Xia Jing prefers to be self-sufficient, especially in grain and grass, and can't let outsiders get stuck.
