Capital Datang

Chapter 577 Encountering Pirates

Pirates, this is a very old profession. Since humans started sailing, piracy has appeared, especially in the commercially developed areas, where pirates are very rampant. Sometimes even the local government can't do anything about them.

Of course, it is not impossible to eliminate pirates. For example, when the "government" has a navy that is several times stronger than pirates, and then puts great efforts to eliminate them, then within a few years, the local pirates will disappear, even if there are any. No climate can be formed, and they can only linger on under the suppression of the navy.

For example, most of the pirates along the coast of Datang and Nanyang have lost their living space under the attack of Qi Wangfu's navy.Now there are still sporadic pirates active in the Java Sea in the southern part of the Southeast Asia and near Australia, but now they mainly make a living by plundering the natives on the pirates. Generally, they rarely dare to attack merchant ships, otherwise they will be attacked by the navy. Crazy eradication.

However, if you leave the Strait of Malacca and go west, the situation is completely different. That is the sea area belonging to Tianzhu, and Tianzhu mainland has been in a "chaotic" world since its inception, and the sea surface is even more chaotic. Before the forces of Li Zhen and Li Yun entered this area, Tianzhuhai was a paradise for pirates. Not only pirates from Tianzhu, but also pirates from Persia, Dashi and other places, and even some Han people The pirates were among them, Lu Qing and the others had been here before.

Moreover, the pirates in this sea area have a characteristic, that is, there is no one like the overlord among them, each pirate does his own thing, without the slightest organization, and there is no need to follow any rules, as long as the merchant ship is intercepted by them , then in the end it is basically the result of dead people and empty goods.Capital Datang 577

It is also the behavior style of the pirates in the Tianzhu Sea.Let them be notorious among maritime merchants. They used to be as famous as those pirates with official background in Malacca, and they were one of the people most hated by all maritime merchants.However, since the Malacca pirates were wiped out by Li Yin's navy, the forces behind them were also wiped out, so now there is only one Tianzhuhai pirate left in the world.

However, ever since Li Zhen and Li Yun arrived at Ceylon Island and gave it to Li Yin, the route from Malacca to Ceylon has been highly valued by Li Yin. For this reason, some navies were specially dispatched to eliminate pirates.At the beginning, the pirates in the Tianzhu Sea didn't care much about this external force, but they were wiped out one by one.This made them finally realize that the good old days are finally gone forever.

Especially after the discovery of many gemstone mines in Ceylon, it has attracted more attention from Taiwan. Therefore, from time to time, warships are sent to clean up the route from Malacca to Ceylon, and sometimes large fleets sail.They will also send warships to escort them, so that after seeing the pirates along the way, they can only hold back and drool in the pirate's den.

Li Yin traveled in secret this time, and all the warships he was on were disguised as merchant ships, but he and everyone on the warship did not expect that there were really pirates who dared to attack their fleet?You must know that they have fifteen warships disguised as giant merchant ships, and there are also some real merchant ships.There are more than 30 large ships in total. A fleet of this size is not to mention pirates. Even the navies of some countries in Tianzhu dare not attack them.

But the reality is so wonderful, there will never be a fleet of pirates who dare to make up their minds.However, he was targeted by several pirate boats behind him, and this time it was Li Jingye who was entrusted by Lu Qingwo with the responsibility of escorting Li Yin. Real naval battles.He can already command a fleet alone, and he is one of Li Yin's most trusted people.So it is most appropriate for him to escort.

"Jingye, if I remember correctly, this is the first time you have led a fleet alone, right? But now you are being targeted by these pirates. It seems that they look down on you!" Li Yin held the binoculars while Observing the pirate ship in the distance, he smiled and said to Li Jingye next to him.

And Li Jingye touched his nose in depression, he thought that this time he would just go out with Li Yin for a while, but he didn't expect that he would be lucky and really meet Tianzhuhai pirate.But then he felt excited again. After all, he could command a fleet for the first time, and he could just take this opportunity to test the results of his hard work during this period of time.

On the fifth day after their fleet left Malacca, the pirate boat following them finally disappeared, but this was not a good thing, because a large number of pirates had already gathered in their fleet early in the morning All around, from the messy flags of the pirates, it can be seen that these pirates definitely do not belong to the same gang, and it is very likely that they are composed of multiple pirate gangs.

However, regarding this huge batch of pirate ships, Li Yin and Li Jingye seemed very relaxed, and even felt sorry for each other in their hearts. If they were really ordinary giant merchant ships, then there are indeed many pirates gathered together. The big ones might take over the fleet, but they were very unlucky to encounter Li Jingye's camouflaged warship. It seems that these pirates really didn't read the almanac before going out.

What happened next was very boring. It was nothing more than the pirates poking up, and then the fifteen camouflaged warships showed their might. First, a cannon and a bed crossbow beat the other party into a dizzy state, and then the fifteen warships changed their tricks to toss these things The pirate ship was less than one-third of the size of the warship, but the larger pirate ships that rushed to the front were all sunk, and the other small ships immediately scattered when they saw that the situation was not good.Li Jingye's mission this time was mainly to protect Li Yin's safety, so he was not pursued by anyone, so most of the escaped pirates survived.

"One, two, three! Throw~" There were bursts of neat slogans from the various warships, accompanied by the laughter of many marines, and the sound of heavy objects falling into the water.This is the people of the fleet disposing of the pirate captives and throwing them into the sea like rice dumplings. Under such circumstances, there is no possibility of survival.

For these vicious pirates, no matter whether they are government officials or private businessmen, as long as they are caught, there is absolutely only one end, and that is to kill them.And in order to deter those pirates, Li Yin erected many pillars outside various ports in Nanyang, and each pillar hung the executed pirates.The pirate captives who came this time could also be sent to the port to be hanged, but for the sake of confidentiality, they were finally executed on the spot by Li Jingye, which is why the current scene appeared.

Don't blame the boys in the navy for being cruel. Compared with the way these pirates deal with the merchants they captured, their way of directly reclamation is much gentler. At least they can leave a whole body for them, and there is no one in their lifetime. No matter what torture, even the pirates who were executed were satisfied with this method of death.

In addition, before Li Yin executed these pirates, he also learned from the pirates where the lairs of these pirates were.As for the captured pirate ships, Li Yin and the others didn't like them at all, so they sent people to search the ships, and they were all scuttled and sunk.

This pirate attack was just an episode in Li Yin's journey, but he saw one thing that worried him a little, that is, the pirates in Tianzhuhai had already begun to attack under his attack. The trend of alliance, although this kind of alliance between pirates is very fragile, and there may even be internal fighting, but it has to be guarded against, in case someone really twists the pirates of the Tianzhu Sea into one rope, That is definitely not a good thing for him.

"Liulang, have you thought about it too? It seems that we will clear the pirates in this sea area as soon as possible." When Li Yin was standing on the side of the ship frowning and looking at the sea view, Li Jingye suddenly walked over from the side and said.

"Well, I still want to concentrate on solving Jinzhou first, and then completely control the Straits of Malacca, but judging from the current situation, I have to put the pirates here first!" Li Yin said lightly.Fortunately, the pirates attacked their fleet today. If it was replaced by another large fleet, it would definitely be robbed. By then, I still don’t know how many of my subjects will die. To eliminate this hidden danger.

Li Jingye is familiar with Li Yin's temperament, so he is not surprised by his words.He suddenly showed a bright smile and asked: "By the way, I heard that Uncle Cheng and Uncle Qin have resigned from their military positions in Datang and are preparing to come to Taiwan, but I don't know how long it will take to see you again." to them?"

And Li Yin also showed a smile when he heard it: "Yes, Huai Liang and Huai Yu are indeed coming soon, and this time they will directly move their family members to Taiwan, so it may take a little longer , but I estimate that they will reach Taiwan in three to five months at the most, and we should go back by then, and we must have a good time with them!" Capital Datang 577

"Hahaha~, that's natural, but speaking of it, I'm a junior of Uncle Cheng and the others, but now I'm the first in the army to enter Taiwan. That is to say, I'm a senior of Uncle Cheng and the others. Maybe it's their boss, it's exciting just thinking about it." Li Jingye suddenly laughed triumphantly, but Li Min curled his lips when he heard that, because of Cheng Huailiang's temper, even if Li Jingye really became their boss , I'm afraid it won't give Li Jingye a good face.

Li Yin's fleet headed west all the way, aiming at the destination of the trip, Ceylon, but before arriving at Ceylon Island, they went to another very interesting place.
