Zhibi Port is located in the northeast of Qiongzhou, under the jurisdiction of Zhenpu County, and is a port that needs to be heavily armed.

Once lost, then the entire north of Qiongzhou will be in no danger to defend.

However, after the Donghu people lost the county seat of Zhenpu, they knew that they could not hold it, so they withdrew the defense of Zhibi Port.

In Zhibi Harbor, the five small ships that the Donghu people did not have time to take away that could only carry 20 people are the only "warships" of the Han Dynasty today.

At this time, twenty-two merchant ships were docked in the harbor.

Eight of them were contributed by Chen Fujia and Chen, and they were all medium-sized merchant ships that could carry 200 people.

Most of the remaining fourteen merchant ships were medium-sized merchant ships.

As for the large merchant ships that carry more people, have better protection, and sail more steadily, there are only two.

This kind of large merchant ship, in the maritime trade caravan, is generally used as a flagship.

The family can supply some small and medium-sized ships to the imperial court to exterminate pirates, after all, without pirates, the trade routes are more stable, and they are also the winners.

But a large merchant ship is expensive, and it represents the influence and trade volume of the caravan, so it is obviously not worth donating a large merchant ship in order to suppress bandits.

The two large merchant ships docked at Zhibi Port, one was raised by Yang Zhong from the clan, and Rao used his prestige and connections to waste a lot of effort.

And another large merchant ship, there is still no clan in the court as an official of the Jinling Jiang clan, specially offered.

A leaf blowing from nowhere, fluttering in the wind, passing through the crowd, gently falling into the sea, and swirling with the waves.

"Your Majesty, it's windy on the beach, so let's avoid it first?"

Chen Fujia muttered in his heart, it took many days to raise such boats.

Today, the large merchant ship of the Yang family entered the port, and the emperor specially summoned his ministers to watch the ceremony, and he didn't know what he thought.

Liu Ke nodded and said:

"It's okay, Chen Qing's family will follow me on the ship, I have to let Aiqing see how I avenged the Chen family!"

Chen Fujia just raised his feet and wanted to leave, when he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Wait, this is going to sea?

The fleet has just arrived, and it has not been transformed, and even the non-commissioned officers of the Han army have not been trained on the ship, so they want to go to sea?

Yue Shaoqian, who rarely left Qiongzhou City, heard this, and immediately became anxious, and persuaded repeatedly:

"The weather at sea is unpredictable and extremely dangerous, and with the respect of Your Majesty, you can't set foot lightly!!"

Liu Ke smiled, gentle and majestic:

"With my honor, this vast sea, no matter what weather it is, it must follow my will!"

Lian Hansheng was also anxious, he knew that the emperor wanted to go to sea to exterminate the pirates, and he thought that the general would be himself.

After all, Dian Chu is good at foot combat, Yue Shaoqian is good at large army scheduling, Zhao Ning doesn't know where to go, only he, a general who is good at archery, is more suitable for sea combat.

I've never heard the emperor mention that he wants to drive in person!

"Your Majesty, the last general is old, the arrows are especially sharp, and he is just a pirate, so he has no return!"

Liu Ke smiled and said:

"The old general's divine shooting, I know it, but the old general still needs to train the new army in the city, and he can't leave lightly."

Seeing that the two dissuaded him to no avail, Xiao Yuan often followed:

"Your Majesty, the soldiers have not yet been trained, and they do not know about naval warfare, if you want to fight in person, please ask Your Majesty to suspend for a while, and prepare completely before setting sail!"

Yang Zhong is sick, and the eighty-year-old literati are not as tolerant as Lian Hansheng, otherwise he will definitely have to mix in a few words of persuasion.

"Come, no, and!"

Liu Ke stood on tiptoe and looked at the coastline, as if he could travel thousands of miles and see the huge ships of the Donghu people on the coast.

Looking back at the tattered merchant ship in front of him, he was a little excited and sighed, but he was also high-spirited:

"I have selected 8,000 good sailors, even if I don't know the tactics of the sailors, I can guarantee that there will be no obstacles in the battle, so it is enough."

"War is the best way to train soldiers."

The ministers all know the key.

More than a month has passed since the retreat of the Donghu Southern Army to Gaozhou.

They could see the movement in the waters near Qiongzhou clearly, and the Puliuru Department in Donghu had begun to mobilize ships on a large scale.

Even if it's a pawn, you can understand it.

The Donghu people wanted to completely block the waters of Qiongzhou and block the Han in Qiongzhou.

When the Puliuru Department completes the blockade, the current Han "Water Division" will directly face the Shangdong Hu Water Division, and the odds of victory cannot be said to be small, but it can only be said that there is no such thing as none.

The ministers all knew that the situation was urgent, and they went to sea to suppress bandits, and they also trained troops to increase their actual combat experience, so that they could deal with the Donghu Naval Division in the future.

But the sea is not as good as the land, everyone knows that the emperor is skilled in driving a donkey cart, but this boat is different from driving, if something goes wrong and falls into the sea, life and death are unpredictable!

And no one has ever heard of the emperor having experience in water affairs, even if he goes out to sea to fish, he has never seen it.

Those important ministers of the family were even more distressed, if the Han army was defeated by pirates, it would be nothing, as long as the army was not wiped out, even if it was a rare experience in water warfare.

But they lost all the ships, and as a result, the pirates were not exterminated, so wouldn't they have lost a lot of money?

I don't know how many people hang their heads and regret that they believed the emperor's nonsense!

Today, there are not a few reliable words!!

"The north wind, the north wind is up!"

"The north wind is up!"

Suddenly, there were several voices from the imperial guards guarding the seashore.

Liu Ke was shocked violently, and looked up at the big hunting flag on the ship.

Dian Chu stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the north wind is coming, shall we board the ship now?" ”

Eight thousand soldiers who can swim, plus Dian Chu, Chen Fujia, and the fixed eight hundred imperial guards, are Liu Ke's lineup this time.

In fact, Zhao Ning is also a good candidate.

With the [lucky] trait, it is a panacea, but after returning from Zhenpu County, Liu Ke asked Zhao Ning to take 3,000 soldiers and horses to fight in various parts of Qiongzhou.

After all, Donghu has been operating in the three counties of Qiongzhou for some days, even if the southern army retreats to Gaozhou, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no secret son left, with Zhao Ning's ability, it may be able to bring surprises.

Liu Ke stretched out his hand to feel the direction of the wind, and said categorically: "The north wind has arrived, you can't miss the opportunity, you can sail!" ”

Taking advantage of the north wind to go north to Yizhou to find pirates, to say the least, can save three or five days, which is very important for the imminent blockade of Donghu.

Then there were royal guards who sent a number of magic weapons and fruits.

Liu Ke laid it out, and there were words on his lips:

"Concentrate on it, have no distractions in your heart, and think that the gods of Liuding and Liujia will come to the altar!"

The ministers were stunned when they heard this, why did Your Majesty start dancing the gods?

Although there is a saying that there is a prayer for peace in the sea before sailing, why is it invited to Liuding Liujia?

Isn't this the life of the old dragon king?

Rokucho Rokka's business is so extensive?

The gust of north wind wrinkled the robes of the ministers, and also wrinkled Liu Ke's eyebrows.

He adjusted his stance to face the sky, took a deep breath, streamlined the ritual a lot, referred to the sword, and exclaimed:

"God come!"

[Liuding Liujia] has no other use, the posture is full, and with [Flickering], it is quite possible to stabilize the morale of the army.

The ministers could see that their thoughts were uncertain, but Liu Ke couldn't allow them to think too much, so he removed the magic weapon, and said while eating the fruit:

"Hu Lu invaded, the sea is difficult to peace, and no one in the DPRK is good at water warfare, then I am the general of the water division!"

His face did not change, and he said in a loud voice:

"As soon as I go, I only hope that Hai Boping will be flat, and the achievements will be made today, and I hope that all the ministers will encourage me!"

Yue Shaoqian thought about it again and again, and finally made a decision, bowed deeply to Liu Ke, and said loudly:

"Chenyue Shaoqian, the commander-in-chief of the Qiongzhou military, before Your Majesty returns, you will never let the Donghu people step into Qiongzhou half a step!"

Xiao Yuan often also worships:

"Chen Xiao Yuanchang, supply food and fresh water for the sailors, and wait for His Majesty's triumphant return!"

Although he was not prepared, his ability, now turn his head and immediately raise it, and then catch up with the fleet with small boats to supply supplies, it is not a problem.

Liu Ke nodded silently and glanced at the two deeply:

"Two Aiqing, after I set sail, the matter of Qiongzhou, please!"

He dared to drive in person many times, and it was also thanks to this Wen Yiwu and the two of them that he created a stable rear.

And there is a big prison for my family's Jia Wuji, if there is really a big crisis, the old man will not sit back and watch himself die in prison.

The two said in unison:

"Since you are a courtier, this is a matter of duty, and it is incumbent upon you!"

At this time, Dian Chu reacted, patted his chest, and said:

"Your Majesty's safety can be handed over to the last general!"

Liu Ke nodded with a smile, looked up at the sky, and saw that the north wind was stronger again, so he shouted:

"Pass the military order, board the ship and go to sea!"

Five ships remained unmoved, twenty-two merchant ships, with their sails unfurled, insignificant compared to the vastness of the sea.

But one day, the warships of the Han Dynasty will cover the sky and the sun, and the four seas and seven oceans will also usher in the empire on which the sun never sets.

Seeing this scene, many courtiers felt strange for a while, and went out to exterminate the pirates, and the warships that were serious did not bring any sterns, all of them were merchant ships.

It looks like he has already had the consciousness of a big defeat, and deliberately keeps the warship as a living force, which is really unreassuring.

This is going to be seen by the old lady, knowing that the large merchant ship he bothered to raise was taken to the emperor for sacrifice, wouldn't he be able to live his ninetieth birthday? ?

But don't worry, the ship has already started, the war drums are beating, and the large merchant ship has raised the flag of the Han army.

The huge canopy was tightly stretched and was blown in the north wind.

Liu Ke on the deck stood in place for a while, and then asked Chen Fujia to put up the flag:

"Full speed ahead."

Chen Fujia was stunned: "Your Majesty, if you go at full speed, I'm afraid that Lord Xiao's supplies won't be able to catch up!" ”

The emperor must have no sailing experience at all, right?

This is no better than land, there is no food on land and you can endure it, and there is no fresh water on the sea, but you will die!

Liu Ke just looked into the distance and couldn't refuse: "This is a military order." ”

are all planning to rob other people's boats, do they still want to leave some fresh water and food for people?

Loot it all, of course!

"Set sail, set sail!"

The blades in the waves, gone.

-----------------

South China Sea.

A robber of a house, the itinerant robber must rely on the island.

A dark-skinned, short, stout man was picking his teeth, shaking the golden bell in his hand, and making a constant jingle to pass the time.

Suddenly, a little brother came to report:

"Big Boss, our people have found a big fat sheep!"
