Chapter 233 A bolt from the blue

The tactics of the sea wolf are actually very simple. The artillery bombarded, the infantry rushed, and the soldiers were lined up to suppress the guns. The engineers and grenades broke the obstacles and relied on the firepower to suppress the villagers on the wall, making them unable to raise their heads and shoot arrows or cannons. The remaining infantry began to attack the village boldly. Although it was simple, it was very effective.

A few villages with strong self-holding force and manpower are unlucky! They thought that with their strength, they should be able to stop the attack of the sea wolf. Although the sea wolf members looked very solemn and very different from ordinary pirates and bandits, they still wanted to have a try.

As a result, they often can only persist for less than half a day, and Zhuangzi is broken by the sea wolf. For these Zhuangzi who dares to resist, the sea wolf people will not be polite. After attacking Zhuangzi, they kill the first evil and tie up their whole family and take them away. Of course, their family property will not be more polite. They will immediately load and transport them to the riverside to ship them away. .

Including the villagers who participated in the resistance in Zhuangzi, they were also young and strong. They were all tied up and put on the boat, and their families were also captured and transported to Danshui City.

Yu Xiaotian wants to develop Taiwan Island. The most lacking are people, especially strong labor and women, and those who come here do not refuse. In the past, sea wolves mostly cheated people to Taiwan Island by collecting and cheating, and occasionally using force to rob the population several times.

Since he tore his face this time, Yu Xiaotian did not pretend to be a good man. For those who are unconvinced, he ordered him not to be polite and send as many young and strong workers as possible to Taiwan Island. If he can get some young women, it should at least alleviate the current serious imbalance between men and women there.

So this time, all departments have a task of activities along the coast of Fujian, which is to find a way to collect the population and transfer it to Taiwan Island for resettlement.

Now that Liu Yidao brings people here, he has to find a way to get more people. Of course, he will not be polite when he encounters such an opportunity. He will get the old and young in Zhuangzi on the boat and send them directly to Taiwan Island.

The sea wolf and the government in the city have been busy these days. Liu Yidao did not lead the army to attack the city. He first swept the villages around Quanzhou City and subdued the local forces. In addition, he also took the opportunity to obtain a large amount of wealth, which really made a lot of money for Yu Xiaotian.

Three days later, Cai Shanji was still full of planning to wait for Liu Wutang's 3,000 officers to come to Quanzhou City. At that time, he ordered Liu Wutang to lead his troops out of the city and beat the thieves who landed on the sea wolf.

However, after waiting for three days, Cai Shanji waited for a bolt from the blue, and the people sent out ran back to Quanzhou City in panic and told Cai Shanji a bad news.

"What? Say it again? Is this serious? After listening to his subordinate's report, Cai Shanji was so scared that he almost slipped out of the chair to the ground. He suppressed his fear and quickly asked, afraid that there was something wrong with his ears and he heard it wrong.

The gray-faced man kneeling on the ground nodded quickly and said, "It's true! After leaving the city, the little one rushed to Tong'an County, but the sea wolves had surrounded Tong'an County, but did not see a large number of officers and soldiers. Therefore, the little one followed the way of the officers and soldiers and found Luotian Village all the way. Only a few days ago did they know that the thief army had been to Luotian Village and set up an ambush in Luotian Village.

When General Liu Shen led his troops to Luotian Village, he fought with the sea wolf, but Liu Shen's soldiers and horses were defeated by the thief army, and finally the whole army was destroyed in Luo Tian Village.

According to the villagers, even Liu Shen himself was reportedly captured alive by pirates. Nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers were killed on the spot, only about a few hundred escaped, and the rest were captured alive by pirates and escorted to the surrounding Touwan.

At first, he didn't believe that it was true. After checking in that area, there was indeed a war in the area. Before the pirates withdrew, they buried the bodies of the officers and soldiers on the spot, and the small ones secretly opened several new graves, in which the bodies of many officers and soldiers were indeed buried. This can't be wrong!

In addition, the small one checked the battlefield, which did leave a lot of blood stains and some things thrown away by the officers and soldiers, so the small one did not dare to neglect and rushed back quickly! Please make a final determination!"

After listening to Cai Shan, there is nothing to doubt! He waited and waited for such a result, 4,000 officers and soldiers!

How can 4,000 officers and soldiers be like flies and be killed by sea wolves? How many soldiers and horses does the sea wolf have? How can 4,000 officers and soldiers be easily destroyed like this?

Even if 4,000 pigs are killed, they will have to be killed for a long time! What's more, there are 4,000 living men? And they still have knives and guns. How can they be destroyed like this?

"So you can ask the villagers of Luotian Village how many of the thieves fighting with General Liu?" Although Cai Shanji has confirmed that Liu Wutang's officers and soldiers are finished, he still doesn't give up asking. At least he can understand the strength of the pirates.

"After asking, the local villagers said that the number of thieves was not large, only about 1,000 people! ......”

"Nonsense! This is impossible! There are only more than 1,000 thieves. How can they have destroyed the whole army of 4,000 officers and soldiers? How is this possible? I don't believe it!" When Cai Shanji heard this, he couldn't help jumping up and waved his hand and roared loudly.

The family man smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "At first, I couldn't believe it. After asking many times, I was sure that many local villagers said with one voice that there were only more than 1,000 pirates, absolutely not as many officers and soldiers!

However, according to the local villagers, these thieves are well trained, well-documented, and have strict military discipline, and are quite fierce! The officers and soldiers only fought with them face to face and were completely defeated by them. In addition, they also ambushed troops at the other end of the mountain pass, preventing the officers from escaping from the mountain pass.

In the end, under the attack of the two thieves, the officers and soldiers were defeated and destroyed the whole army. The visible thief army was also quite good at fighting on land and was very strong. Otherwise, the soldiers and horses of General Liu would not be destroyed by the whole army!"

After listening to this, Cai Shan fell into the chair with a fluttering face and didn't speak for a long time.

His original plan was almost all dispersed after getting the news. He never thought that the 4,000 officers and soldiers were like tofu dregs. In the face of only a thousand wolf and thieves, they were so vulnerable and easily swallowed by others.

How on earth did the sea wolf's followers practice? Cai Shanji almost dared to imagine, but one thing he knew that if he didn't find a way, it would be a matter of the sea wolf to defeat Tong'an County, and even it would not be impossible to break through Quanzhou City under his feet.

If you want to rely on military strength to restrain this sea wolf, it seems that there is no hope now. Although there is still an army of about 3,000 people on the side of Tingzhou Prefecture, which is rushing to Zhangzhou Prefecture, after the collapse of the 4,000 officers and troops in Yanping Prefecture, he There is no longer any hope for the 3,000 officers and soldiers in Tingzhou Prefecture.

Now he doesn't even have the idea of sending people to recruit the 3,000 officers and soldiers in Tingzhou Prefecture, because according to the combat effectiveness of the sea wolf, even if he pulls the 3,000 officers and soldiers from Tingzhou Prefecture now, it is just adding an extra sum to the credit of the sea wolf.

Fujian officials have not been able to withstand another heavy blow. If the 3,000 officers and soldiers in Tingzhou Prefecture are also knocked down by sea wolves, then there are basically not many officers and soldiers available in the Zhangquan area, even including Xinghua Prefecture. At that time, the officials in Beijing will not know how to jump out and impeach him. !

Cai Shanji fell down in a chair. Although he had a splitting headache, he was still thinking about countermeasures, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of any good way to deal with the current crisis.

He couldn't help cursing viciously at this moment: If Zhu Yifeng hadn't been full and had to find this surname Yu's trouble, how could Fujian have caused such a big disaster? This was all Zhu Yifeng's fault, and I would also write bullets to impeach him!

When Cai Shanji was at a loss, his staff member Wen Liufang came out from behind, waved his hand to drive out the person who came back to report the news, bowed and held his fist and whispered to Cai Shanji, "Dong Weng! This is not the place to talk. Please move back to your residence first!"

At this time, Cai Shanji realized that this is now the magistrate's office, but he is no longer the magistrate here. It is difficult to talk about some things here. Now only very few people know about it. If this matter spreads, it will definitely be immediately by some people with ulterior motives. As a handle, it is necessary to impeach him!

So he quickly nodded, left the magistrate's office with Wen Liufang and returned to his residence. Then he closed the door, turned the left and right screens back, and asked Wen Liufang, "What do you think so far?"

Wen Liufang said with a wry smile, "I didn't expect it! The sea wolf faction was so good at fighting that 4,000 officers and soldiers were easily eaten by them. In this way, I'm afraid Dongweng can only agree to Yu Xiaotian's conditions!"

Cai Shanji's face seemed to have been slapped a few times at this time. How ugly it was, and he said angrily, "Do you agree to his terms? If you agree to his terms, isn't it equivalent to cutting off my official's future? I don't know how many people are staring at this matter now, waiting to impeach me! If you give Weitouwan the surname Yu, even if the official is not killed by the family, at least he will be exiled to Qiongya!"

Wen Liufang shook her head and said, "Students think that this matter can actually be promised to them!" I'm afraid that students need to talk to them again and hand over Weitou Bay to them, so can't we do it secretly?"

Cai Shanji was stunned for a moment and asked Wen Liufang a little confusedly, "Secretly!? How can this kind of thing be traded secretly? How can the huge Weitou Bay be given to them so secretly?
