Li You's Tang Dynasty

Chapter 704 Li You's Navy

The next day, Li You had just woken up, and was lying on Quan Zhixi's chubby belly, listening to the voice of the child in her belly, but at this moment, Yaoyu outside knocked on the door and said: "Your Highness, something happened!" Already!"

"What happened?" Li You was slightly startled, and immediately got off the bed and came outside the room.

At this time, Yaoyu immediately said to Li You: "Thirty miles away from Dengzhou City, a small fishing village was slaughtered, and 120 fishermen were all killed. The scene was horrible..."

Li You frowned: "Do you know who did it?"

"It should be pirates, but I don't know exactly which one it is. Mr. Yan is currently investigating, and Miss Yan has also started to mobilize her own people to find all kinds of clues. I believe that when you arrive at the Dengzhou government office, there should be news gone."

"Okay, then let's go to the Dengzhou government office right now!" Li You frowned very tightly, because Li You really didn't expect that such a big thing happened just one day after he came here, and the whole fishing village was destroyed. The slaughter is simply outrageous.

Pirates have always existed, and the "father" of Chinese pirates was named Sun En. Around the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Sun En and Lu Xun led the Great Sea Uprising, which lasted for 398 years from 411 to 13 AD, and nearly a hundred The pirate army of [-] people moved to the vast area south of the Yangtze River, across the East China Sea and the South China Sea.Such a magnificent armed uprising at sea is rare in the history of Chinese piracy.

There were pirates in every subsequent dynasty, but the existence of pirates would vary greatly in different historical periods, due to differences in shipbuilding technology, and due to the influence of specific environments.

Some pirate gangs are even so powerful that even the imperial court can't do anything about them.

Sun En's pirate group killed all dissidents. From a certain point of view, these pirates were more like a combination of rebels and pirates.In addition, during the war years, many people were dissatisfied with the stupidity of the imperial court, so the pirate army he led had nearly one million people when it was strong.

However, the pirates in the Tang Dynasty were powerful because of the power of the court, so many pirates were also merchants and pirates, and it was rare for pirates to gather in a local separatist party.

But guerrilla robbery and killings still happen from time to time.
"Taiping Guangji" records, "Chen Zhenwu, a citizen of Zhenzhou in the Tang Dynasty, has a family of tens of thousands of dollars, and he is a tycoon in the sea. There are hundreds of warehouses for rhinoceros, elephants, and tortoise shells. First, they were drowned by Jia boats from the Western Regions, so there are Yan."

"Tang Dahe Shangdong Expedition Biography" records, "Ruofang often robs two or three Persian ships every year, takes the goods as her own goods, and plunders people as slaves."

Li You Dengzhou is the only place to go to sea, and the strength of Dengzhou in the past is not good, so it is a place where many pirates like to land and kill. The suffering of pirates in Dengzhou has a long history, but Li You did not expect that the pirates would be so arrogant. On the first day I came here, I directly gave myself a blow.

It would be a lie to say that Li You was not angry, Li You was about to explode right now.

Soon, Li You arrived at the Dengzhou government office, and Xue Rengui was already waiting in front of the government office. Seeing Li You, Xue Rengui immediately pleaded guilty: "Your Highness, the general pleaded guilty. It was the general's negligence that led to the tragedy in the fishing village. You can send troops to garrison last night, so there should be no such tragedy."

Seeing Xue Rengui bowing to plead guilty, Li You directly helped Xue Rengui up and said, "Brother-in-law, what does this have to do with you? We only came here on the first day, and before the settlement was completed, these pirates came to attack and slaughter. You are deliberately provoking this king, brother-in-law, don’t blame yourself, the king still needs you, at that time, brother-in-law is still needed to kill the Quartet.”

"No!" Xue Rengui also showed cruelty in his eyes.

Afterwards, Li You and Xue Rengui walked into the mansion together. When they came to the back hall of the mansion, Li You saw Yin Cheng and Yan Ziqian looking at something together. When Li You walked in, Yin Cheng and Yan Ziqian also Get up now.

"You don't need to talk about what happened. I want to know who is giving this king a blow. Is it deliberate or intentional?"

Li You suppressed this anger.

Here, Yin Cheng hurriedly said: "I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but now I have found out which group of pirates carried out the massacre!"

"Say!" Li You asked lightly.

"Nuo, this news was given by Miss Yan. Their brothers detected it. Last night, the pirates of the Xiazi Pirates returned to their island with rich loot. The pirates of the Xiazi Pirates have a total of 300 people. The leader is Du Blind. It's not very good, but they are vicious people, and later they were called poisonous blind men. They used to go to Silla to rob Silla women and sell them.

But I don’t know what’s going on recently, and it’s actually on our territory in Dengzhou! "

"I don't care what his situation is, I just want to ask, what is the strength of the sailors in Dengzhou now?"

Li You's question directly made Yin Cheng on the side show a embarrassed expression: "Let me tell you this, we can still defend on land, but when it comes to sea, Dengzhou's sailors are completely powerless.

Mainly our ships are really bad, so.! "

Before he finished the rest of the sentence, Li You waved his hands without letting him say any more: "I know, I know that the imperial court doesn't pay attention to the development of sailors, this has nothing to do with you, but we must avenge this revenge.

If this revenge is not avenged, those pirates will really think that we are a persimmon! "

"But we really have no soldiers left!" Yin Cheng frowned apologetically.

Li You snorted coldly: "Those bandits still underestimate this king. Since this king can come to Dengzhou, he will not be unprepared. It is true that we do not have sailors in Dengzhou, but I still have soldiers in Bianzhou." A Shibo Division, at this time the Shibo Division's sailors have reached 3000 people, and this time the king will dispatch 2000 people over.

By the way, the ten sea-going ships newly developed by my king will also officially launch into the sea. This time, my king will also test the power of my sailor army, oh not many, they will come to the sea soon, so they can no longer be called sailors.

They are called the Navy, and they are given the name Kunpeng! "

Li You had already prepared his own navy very early on. The Shibo Department in Bianzhou was established early for this kind of emergency. Almost all of the Shibo Department's people are Li You's own people. .

Originally a 1000-person shipbuilding department was secretly integrated into a 3000-person team, of which 2000 were prepared for Li You's navy, and Li Jiuzhe's shipyard had already started mass production sea ​​ship.

It's just that Li You didn't expect that he would use these directly the next day, but fortunately Li You was prepared early, otherwise he would really be overwhelmed by these islands.

"Bastard...!" Li You cursed heavily, then immediately ordered the Kunpeng Army to be transferred to Dengzhou, and then ordered again that the ten sea-going ships of the shipyard immediately go to sea for testing and prepare to serve in the Kunpeng Army.

Li You has already begun intensive preparations to start a counterattack against the pirates.
