Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 173 179 Jeju Island Is Ours

This Xigui Island is actually the Jeju Island of South Korea in later generations, but at this moment it has become a springboard for Datang to attack Dongying.This island was originally under the rule of Baekje, and they called it Luo Island, but they have already agreed with Dongying, so Li Tai naturally would not be polite, and immediately sent a large army to occupy it.

The facilities on Xigui Island are quite complete, and even the shelter from the wind has been prepared long ago.

After anchoring the boat and tying it with iron chains, leaving some people to watch the boat, Zuo ordered them to wash up in the rest area on the island before meeting Sun Sihai.

When Sun Sihai walked into the lobby, he was surrounded by several Tang Juns who were staring at him. Those Tang Juns had a very unfriendly attitude towards Sun Sihai. They would always push and jostle Sun Sihai intentionally or unintentionally, as if they were treating a prisoner on the execution ground. .

"His Royal Highness King Wei! Is this how you treat guests?"

When he walked into the lobby, he was pushed and staggered. Sun Sihai looked angrily at the sergeants behind him with mocking smiles, and then said to Li Tai.

"Guest? You think too highly of yourself. It's just a lost dog. How long do you think you will be able to enjoy yourself after I, Tang Dynasty, wiped out Dongpu?"

It was Zuo Ming who spoke, with a sneer.

He has heard of Sun Sihai, a big thief. He was originally a big thief in Yuezhou. Later, he was forced to go overseas because he killed a Ning family. Now he has been in the South China Sea for more than 30 years. Killing talent.

"Who is this--"

It was only at this time that Sun Sihai noticed that Li Tai was not sitting in the main seat, but the one who was sitting in the main seat was such a young man he had never seen before.

"You don't even know him? He really is a countryman! Let me tell you! The person in front of you is the most intelligent person in my Tang Dynasty, Tang Wang Zuoming!"

Seeing that Sun Sihai didn't recognize Zuo Ming, a sergeant next to him immediately sneered and said with pride.The others looked at Sun Sihai with contempt.

Now the reputation of Zuo Ming can be said to be well known throughout the country.

No way, in order to find him, Li Shimin posted a notice to the whole country, and the portraits used were also made by some famous artists.

"It turned out to be Tang Wang face to face! Disrespect, disrespect!"

Hearing that it was Zuo Ming, Sun Sihai was shocked, but he was not very angry, but said in awe.

After staying with that Xiaoyaozi for a long time during this period, he can be regarded as seeing how powerful he is.However, even a terrifying existence like Xiaoyaozi who completely controlled Dongpu in just one month, when he mentioned Zuo Ming, he also looked worried and dignified.In this way, the horror of Zuo Ming can be seen.

Facing a person who is even afraid of Xiaoyaozi and who has such a high position and authority, he dare not show off.

"There is nothing to be disrespectful of! Explain your reason for coming, I have limited time, I don't have time to chat with you!"

Taking a sip of tea, Zuo Ming said unceremoniously.

"Actually, I came here this time to help His Royal Highness King Wei and King Tang get out of trouble!"

Smiling embarrassingly, although Sun Sihai felt uncomfortable, he didn't dare to get angry, instead he said respectfully.

"Relief? Why am I waiting?" Zuo Ming's expression flickered slightly, but he still smiled mockingly.

"Ming people don't talk dark words, Xiaoyaozi is already insane, and he wants to sell the formula of the artillery to the surrounding countries, which has touched the bottom line of the Tang Dynasty, so His Royal Highness Wei Wang and Tang Wang will not let it go easily this time. Japan.

However, Dongpu now has artillery and gunpowder. Although the quantity is limited, it is not easy for His Royal Highness Wei Wang and Tang Wang to attack Dongpu based on the terrain.

Therefore, it can be said that the two Highnesses can neither advance nor retreat, and this is where the two Highnesses are 'trapped'! "

Sun Sihai said eloquently.

He brought enough chips this time, and he was not afraid that Zuo Ming and Li Tai would not be tempted.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Li Tai and Zuo Ming looked at each other, both showing a touch of interest.And Zuo Ming even changed his previous indifference, and smiled kindly, "So, Mr. Sun is really my honored guest! Please take a seat!"

It was only at this time that people sat down. Although it was a bit realistic, everyone was thick-skinned, so it didn't matter.

"You're welcome!"

After cupping his hands, Sun Sihai sat down in a grandiose manner, not at all polite.

Seeing him so neat and tidy, Zuo Ming nodded in satisfaction, and then said, "This king is not a person who can beat around the bush. Mr. Cai just said that he can solve the problem between the two of us. This king is very interested. I don't know Mr. Sun What's the good idea?"

"It's not a good strategy, it's nothing more than stealth! Sun is not talented, and now Tian is the head of the East China Sea Alliance Navy, and there are hundreds of small boats, which are definitely more than enough to carry the sergeants of the Tang Dynasty."

After cupping his hands, Sun Sihai said bluntly.

"Sir, do you mean to let my soldiers from Datang take your ship to Dongying, and catch Xiaoyaozi by surprise?"

Zuo Ming said with a flash in his eyes.

"Exactly! That Xiaoyaozi is very conceited, he probably never thought Sun would use this trick!"

Sun Sihai nodded and said.

"But what good does this do for you? A well-behaved general manager of the East China Sea Coalition Army is not in charge, but instead deals with his own people, you should have something to do with it!"

At this time Li Tai spoke coldly.It was not the first time he had dealt with Sun Sihai, so he didn't trust him very much.

"Where does Sun have any plans? It's just that he hopes that Datang can let Sun survive! Didn't His Royal Highness Wei Wang see what happened today? That Xiaoyaozi is simply insane. In order to keep Datang's navy, unexpectedly We should be used as cannon fodder! If the rain of fishes hadn't come in time, we would have been buried in the ocean by now! Such a lunatic, Sun will never dare to cooperate with him again!"

Sun Sihai suddenly smiled wryly.Why is he willing to be such a rebellious boy, but Xiaoyaozi is too evil, and it is too dangerous to stay with him.

"Then you can just leave and watch the tigers fight! Why do you help me Datang instead?"

Li Tai still had a look of disbelief.His prejudice against Sun Sihai was too deep, so he always felt that this guy wanted to harm him.

"Just walk away? You don't know how narrow-minded that Xiaoyaozi is! If Sun really walks away! In the end, he will kill Sun to death no matter whether he wins or loses! Sun It used to be able to cross the South China Sea for so long, that is because artillery has not yet come out. But now the times are different, Sun is not Datang’s opponent, and he is definitely not his Xiaoyaozi’s opponent! To be honest, Sun has long wanted to do nothing again. Becoming a pirate, but Datang has been unwilling to recruit for so long, and Sun has no way to serve the country!"

Sun Sihai said with a bitter face.He felt that his life was really fucked up.Others only see his scenery, but how can they know his pain.

Where is it so easy to be a pirate?They usually stay on deserted islands, with limited food and drink, and how much oil and water do those fishermen along the coast have?It's nothing more than some dried fish, and it's smelly and fishy.

He hasn't eaten the delicacies and wines of Datang for many years. If possible, the ghost would be willing to live such a life of fear and poor food outside!

Of course, the most important thing is that Datang's navy has grown too fast, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in a blink of an eye!With so many people and so many ships, it might be enough to conquer a country on land. He, Sun Sihai, doesn't have [-] kittens and puppies in total. How can he stand up to the devastation of this force?

"Recruitment? That's the method only a foolish king needs! I have a great Tang Dynasty, so why do I need to recruit people to deal with disobedient people! You should be glad that the king has been busy these two years to quell the banditry in the country, otherwise, where would you still be?" Chance for tea here!"

With a cold smile, Li Tai said disdainfully.

The current Datang is proud. For those bandits and water bandits, they have never called for security, and they basically slaughtered them one-sidedly.

This is also the fundamental reason why the social order of the entire Tang Dynasty has become more stable in recent years.

After hearing this, Sun Sihai smiled bitterly again, did not speak, but turned his gaze to Zuo Ming.He has already seen that Zuo Ming is in charge here.Although Li Tai is the admiral of the navy in name, he must listen to Zuo Ming's words.

"What do Mr. Sun think of this Xigui Island?"

Seeing him looking at him, Zuo Ming pondered for a while, then said with a flickering expression.

The question was a bit inexplicable, and Li Tai looked at him puzzled, but Sun Sihai showed a touch of excitement.

"Very good! Of course, it would be even better if we can maintain the trade relationship with Datang!"

Sun Sihai blushed almost.

Seeing that he understood what he meant, Zuo Ming also smiled softly.

"What kind of trade relationship? I don't understand the words. This Xigui Island is my Tang territory no matter today or in the future. It is specially used to communicate with the states and counties in the East China Sea! Even if Mr. Sun becomes the owner of the island, It’s just that you have obtained the right to operate it, so don’t think about it!”

"Yes! Yes! His Royal Highness the King of Tang is right! Xigui Island has always been the territory of the Great Tang. Sun must do his duty and protect this three-acre land for the Great Tang!"

When Zuo Ming made his words clearer, Sun Sihai naturally became happier, and immediately nodded his head.

"Brother! Do you really believe him?"

Hearing this, Li Tai also reacted, and immediately frowned.He was not polite at all, and directly expressed his attitude in front of Sun Sihai.

"Of course I don't believe in Mr. Sun! My Zuo Ming will never pin my victory on others!"

With a slight smile, Zuo Ming said with a flickering expression.

Hearing this, not only Li Tai, but also Sun Sihai was stunned.

"Mr. Sun, don't blame me. I seldom have complete trust in the enemy! This time we will use your ship, but your people are not allowed to appear on the ship. Only you are allowed on the ship! But don't worry, my Zuo Ming is not someone who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges. Since I promised you to be the owner of Xigui Island, I will definitely not break my promise! But the premise is that we boarded Dongying and captured Xiaoyaozi Down!"
