Li An listened for a moment and opened the mouth and said: “Your analysis is very reasonable. This group of pirates only has more than 1000 people. Their strength is not strong. Xi Tianzhu can still fight. However, although this seaport is for me Great Tang has an important role, but in the view of Xi Tianzhu, it is just an ordinary haven on the border, and this haven is also very close to the country of Aab Caliphate, so they will not spend too much energy to go Recapture the Harbor. In addition, they are likely to really regard the pirates as a buffer force with the country of Aab Caliphate. Therefore, they have not been seized. The direction of Aab Caliphate ’s business is not here, so there is no Go for it. “

The quality of Harbor is not only based on the superiority of geographical conditions, but also considering the surrounding forces. If it is in the hinterland of an empire, it is naturally that the better the conditions, the higher the Harbor aptitude, but if the Harbor is strategically located Near the border, it can’t be considered the best, because it will face threats at any time.

For example, an imperial capital is generally built in the center of the empire. This is the most secure and reliable, and is not easily threatened by foreign enemies. If it is near the border, it will face raids from foreign enemies at any time.

The capital city of China has also been in the city near the northern border, but in the north of this city, there are rolling hills as a backing, which can be well defended, so it can barely be used as a capital. If it is an unguarded border city, it will always be It cannot be a capital city.

The important Harbor of a country is naturally better in the hinterland. At least it cannot be too close to other countries, so as to avoid some frictions that will lead to wars in the two countries, especially the weak ones.

Imagine that a relatively weak country, the Harbor near the border is very prosperous, and then a raid against the enemy, the very rich Harbor is occupied, the loss is really too great, and if it is in the hinterland With a large number of soldiers and horses protected, the probability of the raid is relatively low.

In addition, the prosperous Harbor on the border, for example, to send more soldiers to defend, and the bottom soldiers will inevitably have friction with the bottom soldiers of neighboring countries. If the confrontation is upgraded step by step, it may bring great weakness to the weak country. Trouble, so, Xi Tianzhu has been avoiding such a thing, and hope Harbor will not be recovered by the pirates.

Aab Caliphate’s power is much stronger than that of Xi Tianzhu, but the direction of his expansion and management is not on Xi Tianzhu’s side. The military strength in this direction is very insufficient, so it is easy to dare to provoke Xi Tianzhu. , Also in their interest.

In addition, it is said that the composition of the pirates comes from two countries, namely the unscrupulous 2 surnames of Xi Tianzhu and Aab Caliphate. They have benefited the local officials in these two countries, so they will also say good things to the pirates and point out buffer forces. In addition, the pirates will only rob merchant ships, and will not rob the Imperial Court ships in the two countries, so they have not angered the Imperial Court in the two countries.

In short, under the influence of various comprehensive factors, the 1000-person pirate An’an heartedly stationed in this excellent Harbor, and built more and more defensive facilities, which can be described as a colorful operation for one year The time of the trip made the merchant ships to be miserable.

As a buffer force, pirates rob businessmen, and they will take out 20% of their income to honor the real power figures of Aab Caliphate and Xi Tianzhu, such as the commander-in-chief and so on. Blow, the remaining 2% is their own.

In addition, this group of pirates is a pirate of wealth. They have a conscience. As long as they do n’t resist or kill their merchants, they will not hurt people ’s lives. After grabbing things, they will transport them to their own. On the ship, it is almost impossible to snatch the merchant ’s ship. In addition, according to the situation, the merchant will be left with enough food and a small amount of money to keep the merchant from losing his way.

This is not true benevolence, which shows that the pirate leader is a very intelligent person, very clever, and understands that killing chickens and fetching eggs is a foolish act. Keeping chickens can lay more eggs.

This is the same as shearing wool. She cuts the wool when it grows long, but it does not hurt the sheepskin. In this way, the new wool will grow again in a short time, and then you can continue shearing.

Even if the merchant was looted once, but because the loss was not unacceptable and did not hurt people, he was not particularly afraid, and under the influence of huge profits and fluke psychology, they would again pass through the active area of ​​pirates As long as they are not hit, they can still make a lot of money. Even if they are hit, at most it is the loss of some goods. They run a few times and can earn back.

In the later stage of development, the merchants were directly familiar with the pirates, and each time a part of the profit was sent to the pirates as tolls. At the same time, they also provided competitors ’cargo information to please the pirates and murder a person with a borrowed knife.

In short, the emergence of pirates and the smashing of the Shanglu severely interfered with the normal trade of the merchants, leaving many honest businessmen miserable.

“Minister Li, since this harbour is now occupied by pirates, then what are we polite, just grab it directly from us.”

“Yes, the trifling 1000 pirates are not enough to stop the teeth? Malacca has solved a few 10000 pirates, and more than 1000 pirates can solve it in a day.”

“Don’t the advance team have a steam gun ship, have they already occupied the harbor!”

“Yes, these pirates are not the adversaries of the advance team, it must be our Harbor now.”

Everyone said.

Li An waved his hand and said, “Don’t quarrel anymore. The advance team attacked the pirates at the moment they found them. They hit 5 with a dozen, and sank 3 pirate ships. The other 2 ran away. The advance team attacked the harbour, urinating the buttocks of the pirates entrenched in the harbour, and occupied the harbour smoothly, capturing more than a dozen pirate ships. “

“Haha! It’s great, I have said long ago that these pirates simply not worth mentioning, where will be our army’s adversaries, an advance team is enough to destroy them.”

“Minister Li, our army will start tomorrow, just go directly to this Harbor.”

“The advance team really gave me Great Tang’s long face and should be rewarded.”

Said everyone.

Li An went on to say, “This Official hasn’t finished yet? Do you know that our advance soldiers didn’t dare to sleep in Harbor at night, they all slept on steam gun ships.”

“How could it be, isn’t it that the pirates have been pissed on the buttocks? Why don’t they dare to rest in Harbor? Did they participate in the pirate sneak attack?”

“There are not many advance teams, and their strength is far inferior to that of pirates. With dozens of artillery from steam gunboats, maybe the pirates can hit the buttocks, but once they leave the steam gunboat and enter the harbour, the pirates will be run away. With the familiarity with the terrain, we may suddenly engage in a sneak attack at night, causing damage to our advance team. “

“Yes! The advance team is too small, and is not very familiar with the situation of the harbour. It is naturally unsafe to stay in the harbour. It is not bad to stay on the steam gunship for a while. When our Armed Forces arrive, we can naturally wipe out these pirates. . “

“Yes, the Trifling pirates are not a concern, and Armed Forces will inevitably catch them to catch everything in one net.”

Everyone was a little disappointed, but soon rejoiced again. After all, the Great Tang fleet has a strong power. The advance team is a little bit wronged. It is nothing to wait for the main Armed Forces to arrive. All the lost faces can be recovered. of.

Li An nodded and said: “You are right. Pirates are not a concern. After the advance team landed in Harbor, they successfully mapped the Terrain Map, but they were attacked at night, and several advance soldiers were injured. I do n’t have to worry too much. Thanks to the soldiers on duty on the steam gunship, they heard Harbor yelling and immediately fired in the direction of the pirates, disrupting the deployment of the pirates. This made the advance team stationed in Harbor. The soldiers and horses were able to withdraw the gunboat smoothly. “

“It’s dangerous, it’s really dangerous. If it’s not Minister Li, I usually teach the soldiers to be vigilant. This time the advance team is afraid of losing money!”

“These pirates are stubborn! The buttocks that have been bombarded by artillery urinate, and there is the courage to come back to revenge. Is it a bit of a bone?”

“Hmph, you must destroy them no matter how strong you are. The existence of pirates seriously threatens the construction of the Great Tang Empire’s Maritime Silk Road. It must be annihilated, and you must not be kind to them.”

The subordinates were filled with righteous indignation again.

Li An thought for a while and opened the mouth and said: “The pirates of the advance team and Harbor are now showing a sawing trend. During the day, the sight is clear. The pirates are hiding in the surrounding woods, but they will take advantage of it at night. Sneaking back to the harbour, attempting to conduct a sneak attack on our soldiers. When our army withdrew from the ship at night, they began to transfer their property and tried to regain their accumulated wealth. Unfortunately, our soldiers did not to be trifled with, as long as they found The pirates returned to the harbour and used artillery to serve them. So, for so many days, these pirates have not carried away their looted finances, because there are too many things, and the advance team did not carry these things to the ship. “

“Haha! Then there must be a lot of property! We have to hurry up and let the pirates steal the property.”

“Yes, Minister Li, in the next opinion, should immediately send troops and reinforcements to prevent accidents in the advance team.”

“Minister Li, at the end will be willing to lead 1000 soldiers to reinforce.”

The subordinates said.

Li An’s mouth laughed, opened the mouth and said: “You don’t have to be so anxious, reinforcement is inevitable, these properties will not be taken away by pirates, and certainly not, we should now study how to do it for me Great Tang Asking for the greatest benefit is the real focus. “

“Minister Li, this Harbor is what we got from the pirates, so the Harbor and the land around it should be the land of my Great Tang.”

“Not only that, we have to occupy the land further away from Harbor to ensure that Harbor is absolutely safe.”

2 subordinates said.

Li An is very satisfied with the nodded, opened the mouth and said: “You are right, Harbor is what we seized from the pirates, it should naturally belong to the Great Tang territory, but this Harbor is located in Xitianzhu In the territory, this Xi Tianzhu disregarded the interests of the 100 surnames and merchants, and watched the pirates grow day by day, the merchants were looted by the pirates, and their territories were occupied by the pirates. This behavior destroyed the construction of the Great Tang Maritime Silk Road. Many businessmen in Tang wrote to This Official, accusing Xitianzhu of improper behavior of the Imperial Court. This kind of behavior of raising pirates cannot be forgiven, and all businessmen ’s losses should be compensated by the Xitianzhu Imperial Court. You said is not it!”

“Minister Li is right. Xi Tianzhu’s Imperial Court’s connivance allowed the pirates a foothold and so many merchants were looted. This responsibility should be borne by Xi Tianzhu’s Imperial Court. They must compensate.”

“If Xi Tianzhu Imperial Court refuses to compensate, we will attack our capital to see if he will compensate or not.”

“Yes, it can’t be cheaper at Xitianzhu Imperial Court, must cost them.”

Several men said.

Li An waved his hand and opened the mouth and said: “Initiating an attack on the capital city of West Tianzhu, it is too much to play. Our Great Tang is reasonable, how can we attack casually? However, it is still feasible to scare them. It is not our main purpose to let them be responsible for the losses of businessmen. What we want is the land we need. As long as Xi Tianzhu Imperial Court raises its own financial difficulties and cannot compensate the losses of the merchants, then we can propose to let them We ceded the land to us Great Tang, and then we Great Tang helped them compensate the merchants. In this way, a large area around the harbour, extending all the way to the mountain 100 miles inland, is our Great Tang territory. In addition, we They also promised to cooperate with me, Great Tang, to provide enough manpower to help Great Tang build the railway. “

“Minister Li, if Xi Tianzhu really agreed to our conditions, do we really have to compensate the merchant for the loss?”

A subordinate asked.

Li An said with a smile: “Compensation for the loss of the businessman, what a joke, this is just to say that’s all to Xi Tianzhu Imperial Court, as long as we solve the problem of piracy in this place, which businessman dare to ask us for compensation, Impatient for living.

“Hahaha! I was shocked. If this was really compensated, it was not a small sum of money.”

“Are you stupid! How much did the merchants lose, who made it clear, since it is not clear and how to compensate, the pirate stolen goods that Harbor has hoarded naturally belong to us, no, it belongs to the Great Tang Imperial Court.”

Li An looked at the map in front of him, the better the mood, the better, ordered: “Zhao Jun, you immediately lead the 2000 soldiers, reinforce the advance team, start after one hour, must advance at the fastest speed, you arrive at the moment , The advance team is one point less dangerous. “

“Yes, Minister Li, my subordinates understand.”

Master Zhao Jun complied and promised.
