The next day, Qiongzhou City, jubilant, lanterns.

A farmer who had just returned from fishing asked.

"Fellow, what are we going to do with such a big battle?"

A storyteller who claims to be a know-it-all laughed: "You don't understand this, this is the prince who wants to marry Qinle." ”

"The prince marries, this is a great happy event, go to the palace to say goodbye, maybe you can get happy money."

A person familiar with the matter immediately retorted: "Nonsense, the prince already has several princesses, all of whom are as beautiful as immortals, besides, the prince has always advocated frugality, and he will not make such a big battle for the selfishness of one person." ”

"Why is that?"

"I heard that it was the eldest princess of Yue who came and brought a lot of things that Qiongzhou urgently needed, including grain and iron ore, and the prince was welcoming the eldest princess."

"What's the difference? Aren't they all dowries? ”

Everyone says that in an era when entertainment is almost zero, what they like to talk about most is nothing more than the gossip of the upper class.

Although I didn't dare to blatantly chew the root of my tongue, there was still news circulating after all.

If there are conditions, they have already begun to go to the port, to see the demeanor of the eldest princess, and if there are no conditions, they will wait in the city early, and wait for the team of the eldest princess of Yue to enter the city.

But left and right, but no one was seen.

In the palace of King Liang, in the main hall, Qin Yun, who was preparing to welcome Qin Yun, the big man who sent money, was also frowning at this time, and his eyes swept to the envoys of the Yue Kingdom who were taking a step forward on the side.

"Your princess, are you really here today?"

The envoy also wondered, this calm and no strong wind, it stands to reason that Her Royal Highness the princess should have arrived a long time ago.

Just as the envoy was about to speak, suddenly a member of the Vietnamese mission stumbled in outside the door.

"No...... Oh no! Zhang Zuo, His Royal Highness King Liang, my princess was robbed by pirates! ”

"They also said that within ten days they would give the equivalent of five million taels of gold and silver, or else they would sell the princess to the kiln!"

The envoy's face sank.

"Where are pirates so rampant? Is this going to war with me? ”

"It seems that the one-eyed alliance that slaughtered Chaozhou City overnight."

Envoy Zhang's face fell: "This ...... How is this good, wait for me to repair a book, and send a sailor to save it! ”

Qin Yun's eyes were cold: "Lord Zhang doesn't need to, this matter will be handled by this king." ”

"Lord Wang, the one-eyed alliance is prestigious, and almost all of them have secret strongholds in the coastal waters, and as far as the old minister knows, there is no sailor in Qiongzhou, so let's wait for the sailor of the Yue Kingdom to come to the rescue."

Qin Yun said in a deep voice: "Lord Zhang, this king assures you that he will definitely save the princess safe and sound." Come on, send Lord Zhang to rest! ”

"No!"

After Envoy Zhang left, Qin Yun tore off the etiquette robe specially prepared for him by Wang Muzhi on his body, revealing his arms with bulging muscles.

"Someone!"

"Lord Wang!"

Yang Yong bowed out, he didn't dare to raise his head, and he could know with his thumb how angry the prince was at this time.

"Inform Zhao Kun and give me those three modified ships!"

Yang Yong paused: "Lord Wang, half of the big ships have been refitted, and there are only four guns on each big ship at present. ”

"Don't worry about that, pull it out for this king!"

"In addition, all the sea ships in Qiongzhou will be requisitioned, and this king will set foot on this group of thieves!"

Yang Yong paused: "But, Lord Wang, we don't know where the other party's stronghold is?" ”

Qin Yun snorted coldly: "This king let people go back twice, do you think it was released for nothing?" ”

Yang Yong was stunned, but what he didn't know was who the prince sent to follow.

"Go, call Wang Muzhi!"

"No!"

After a while, Wang Muzhi walked quickly.

"Lord Wang!"

Qin Yun's eyes froze: "Have you collected any information about the stronghold of the One-Eyed Alliance?" ”

Wang Muzhi said: "Back to the prince, seventy or eighty percent of the strongholds have been figured out, part of it is an island, and part of it is in Chaozhou, is the prince going to use soldiers?" ”

Qin Yun's eyes were cold: "No soldiers, this group of dogs is easy to bully when this king?" ”

"How many troops do we have available?"

Wang Muzhi: "At present, it is less than 5,000! ”

Qin Yun frowned, five thousand people and horses, it is indeed too few, after all, these five thousand people still have to be responsible for guarding Qiongzhou, although Qiongzhou has also recruited a lot of recruits these days, but recruits need at least one to three months of basic training if they want to go into battle.

Originally, according to Qin Yun's assumption, after he finished training, he would equip them with equipment, let alone crush the pirates, and it would not be impossible to go directly to the capital.

But time is running out, if he doesn't attack this time, the pirates will be even more unscrupulous.

Qin Yun took a deep breath and groaned: "Send them all out, and they have to be sent out with great fanfare!" ”

Wang Mu was stunned: "Lord Wang, if we send out all our troops, what if pirates attack Qiongzhou?" ”

Qin Yun squinted: "If you don't have a king, I'm afraid that they won't come!" ”

Wang Muzhi suddenly realized: "The minister understands, and the minister will arrange it!" ”

Qin Yun took a deep breath, and then called Wang Menghu, Liu Yulu, and Bai Zhanpeng.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time the king is ready to completely deal with this group of pirates!"

Liu Yulan said: "Lord, according to the minister's opinion, it is still necessary to slowly figure it out, this one-eyed alliance has been entrenched in the southeast coast for not a day or two, three years ago, the imperial court made a painful decision, sent people to encircle and suppress, and lost tens of thousands of soldiers, and the prince could not compete with the current situation in Qiongzhou at all!" ”

Bai Zhanpeng also muttered: "The sea is not land, the sea is all avenues, and it is impossible to encircle and suppress it with heavy troops!" ”

Wang Menghu also changed his previous radical style: "Lord Wang, the old man thinks that he should be more steady, this matter is considered in the long run, mainly to pacify, as long as I wait for the big ship to be renovated, and produce enough weapons to regenerate it, and sweep away this group of bed bugs is just around the corner." ”

Qin Yun smiled bitterly: "What you said, don't you know this king?" However, weapons do not come out of thin air, resources do not rush up in big waves, and the other side even dares to rob the Vietnamese mission, so don't just merchant ships dare to touch it? ”

"Didn't you find out, is the other party trying to trap Qiongzhou?"

Everyone's faces sank, the current situation, it really can't work, first of all, don't think about the support of the imperial court, and secondly, Qiongzhou is just an island after all, and it is very reluctant to be self-sufficient, and it is simply a fool's dream to develop in the blockade.

Liu Yulan, who was on the side, muttered: "Since the prince has decided to fight, the minister thinks that he will be a soldier and smash the Yellow Dragon directly, and he can't give the other party a chance to breathe." ”

Bai Zhanpeng nodded: "That's right, this group of pirates seems to be huge, there are 100,000 people, but most of them are fishing in troubled waters, and these people also need to eat, drink and Lazar, and they can't always float on the sea." ”

"We can attack their weak points, capture the other party's supply points, and make them dare not go to sea, once they are grounded on land, they are just a rabble."

Qin Yun bowed slightly, worthy of being a secretary and a general of the military department, and he still had a strategic vision.

"Then according to the two of you, how should you fight?"

Liu Yuscale: "Hit the big ones first, put the small ones, the other party is not a monolith, the pirates must be full of mountains, as long as they hurt them, there will naturally be differentiation within them." ”

Qin Yun took out the chart: "Okay, then these three places will be handed over to you." ”

"Turtle Island, the territory of the second leader of the One-Eyed Alliance, there are more than 5,000 Kou, and its thief leader is the strength of the grandmaster, but this king can only give 1,000 men and horses to the people who go to attack."

"Haitang Island, the station of the three masters of the One-Eyed Alliance, there are mainly some relatives of women and children and pirates, the number of which is about 30,000, but the main combat power is not much, this king gives 3,000 people."

"The rest of the Broadleaf Island, which is the base of the One-Eyed Alliance's account write-off, will sell the goods they have stolen here to special merchants. As long as these three places are taken, the One-Eyed Alliance will be self-defeating. ”

Liu Yulan and Bai Zhanpeng looked at each other with a look of shock: "It turns out that the prince has already prepared!" ”

Qin Yun groaned: "Even if the imperial court doesn't give an order, this king will destroy this group of pirates!" ”

Wang Menghu was not surprised, because before coming to Qiongzhou, Qin Yun asked him to send someone to investigate this group of pirates.

Can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch?
