The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1443 Containment
"As expected, none of the officials in Quanzhou City can escape." Xuan Shijing closed the ledger and slapped the table angrily.

Gao Jun came in with the food box, put the food box on the side table, arranged all the food and wine for Chang Le, and looked at Xuan Shijing.

"Grandpa, do you understand everything?" Gao Jun asked.

Xuan Shijing nodded: "Yes, next, there will be a big move, Gao Jun, with the imperial decree and my seal, to mobilize the army, enter Quanzhou city overnight, and send me the officials of Quanzhou county and government offices Arrest everyone who doesn't fall, everything will be discussed when I go to Quanzhou City early tomorrow morning."

There is a big commotion on the surface of Shanghai tonight, and Quanzhou City cannot be left behind. Now that the authentication evidence is here, Xuan Shijing will start to clean up these official moths in Quanzhou City. With the result, Xuan Shijing went to Quanzhou City to try the case.

Gao Jun left the Quanzhou navy barracks, and went to help Xuan Shijing mobilize troops. The mobilization was also from the local Quanzhou army. It is impossible to enter Quanzhou City quietly, so it must be done before the Quanzhou government responds. , The army entered the city and controlled the county and government offices.

Otherwise, the officials of Quanzhou would defend the city according to Quanzhou City. If things continue to develop, things will get out of hand. It is very likely that there will be a large-scale fight and force Feng Zhijun to rebel.

Since he can raise pirates at sea, there are many of his people in the city, and the Feng family in Quanzhou are all supporting Feng Zhijun. As for Feng Zhidai, who lives in Chang'an, he is beyond the reach of the Feng family entrenched in the south. , once the incident happened, he was just a person who was implicated.

On the surface of the sea, after the guards of the Xuanjia merchant ship sent out a signal, those pirate ships quickly approached the merchant ship. First, a burst of arrows fell on the ship sparsely. The guards on the ship had no choice but to find a place to hide. , those pirates put the ladders on the merchant ship of the Xuan family from the ship, and boarded the merchant ship stepping on the ladder.

The two sides began to engage in hand-to-hand combat on merchant ships.

The guards on the Xuan family's merchant ship are all carefully selected people. Apart from guarding the Xuan family's merchant ship, they also have other functions, that is, to protect Xuan Shijing who is the head of the family. Therefore, although there are only a dozen guards, but Everyone is very skilled.

The space on the merchant ship is limited, and those pirates will not all be crowded on this ship. Therefore, the guards on the ship are barely able to deal with these pirates.

Seeing that they couldn't take down the merchant ship for a while, those pirates were also a little impatient.

"Fire the arrows! Keep shooting the arrows!"

"Boss, there are still our people on board!"

"Don't hide! Let the arrows go!" the man called the boss roared angrily.

Another burst of sparse arrows flew towards the merchant ship. During the fight, many pirates were shot by the arrows, and the guards on the ship were not spared.

"Boss! The navy's boats are coming towards us." The pirates on the other boat shouted: "There is no time, let's retreat!"

"The Navy's ship?! How so fast!" The man who became the leader was shocked. Usually, if the Navy wanted to come, it would take a quarter of an hour, or even two quarters of an hour, to get to the coast. The key is that they are not on the coast now. The Navy's ship will never know their whereabouts so quickly.

At this time, he remembered the whistle raised by the merchant ship just now.

"This is a trap!" The man yelled, "Quick! Get back!"

"Retreat! Retreat!"

After the man gave the order, the people on the pirate ships surrounded by merchant ships began to shout, and the pirate ships also started to turn around, trying to get away from the merchant ships.

Before leaving, the people on the pirate ship fired another wave of bows and arrows, even if they couldn't hurt the guards on the merchant ship, they still wanted to kill those accomplices on the merchant ship.

"Bastard, you actually lured us into taking the bait. Why didn't our people in the navy react at all? What about the people in the government?" The man slapped the parapet on the side of the boat.

"Boss, we are surrounded by navy ships." The exclamation of pirates came from the nearby ship.

Now, there is no other way but to run.

Even the leader of the pirates could tell that this time they were fooled by the navy, but they also knew that the Quanzhou navy couldn't catch up with them at all, as long as they ran, they would definitely be able to escape them The encirclement circle, the ship equipment of these pirates will not be much worse than that of the Quanzhou navy.

"This is not the Quanzhou navy." The leader of the pirates stood on the deck, looking at the approaching navy, and murmured: "This is not the Quanzhou navy at all!"

"Then who are these people?" asked the person next to the leader.

"How the hell would I know!"

After the leader of the pirates saw the warship of the Yangzhou Navy, he finally became anxious.

After the master got the news about Fang Dabao, he only told their informants about the big fish, and didn't say anything about the navy, and such news had been tacitly known in the past.

These pirates still acted in the same way as before, but this time they changed their opponents. When Fang Dabao sent the news to the county government, it was already a trick. Pirates, they've already been hooked.

The navy that Xuan Shijing and Liu Ren wished to bring from Yangzhou was originally headed for Ryukyu Island. The sailors were all elites selected from thousands of people, and the ships were also the best ships in the Tang Dynasty. Can't catch up with mere pirates?
Even if the ship equipment of the pirates is said to be inferior to that of the Quanzhou Navy, what is the status of the Quanzhou Navy now, and they are ashamed to compare with the Quanzhou Navy?
Compared with the navy of Datang, these pirates are amateurs, and they still want to escape from the elite of Yangzhou navy?Arabian Nights.

Liu Renyuan stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the scattered boats in front of him, thinking that they were pirate ships.

"Speed ​​up, surround yourself, and prepare to fight."

Following Liu Renyuan's order, the warships of the Yangzhou Navy continued to surround the pirate ships.

"When the fight starts, watch out for two survivors." Liu Renyuan said to the lieutenant beside him, "I don't know if this is all of them. Since we have already fought, we have to join their lair together. Dig them all out."

"Yes." The lieutenant replied.

The battle between the Yangzhou navy and the pirates was almost one-sided. It didn't take too much effort for the elite to fight against the reckless. The reason why the Quanzhou navy fought and failed repeatedly was nothing more than a traitor among their own people.

When fighting on the sea, the transmission of news is very important. Once the Quanzhou navy goes to sea, the news will be leaked to the pirates. In this way, the pirates can only escape again and again.
