Seeing Luo Shixin arranging people to stand in front of the walled city to surrender, Yang Kongchan said: "These pirates are all evildoers. If you don't need labor, just kill them all..."
"No matter what kind of person they are, if they live with pirates on a pirate island for a period of time, as long as they can survive, or in order to survive, they will become evil people. This is just like a sheep will never survive among a pack of wolves..."
Of course Wang Junlin knows the virtues of pirates. They have been the most cruel group since ancient times, much more cruel than bandits and robbers on land.
"I heard that the naval officers and soldiers of Japan are no different from pirates. They often dress up as pirates and rob merchants." Yang Kongchan said with a sarcastic look.
"Japan! This country is a small island country, but its population reproduction capacity is very strong. The population density is actually no smaller than the prosperous land of the Sui Dynasty. However, its living resources are limited. In addition, natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons occur frequently. The island
The living resources cannot satisfy all of them, which has led them to be very predatory since ancient times. This is actually the same as the northern nomads in the past dynasties who would inevitably send troops south to invade the Chinese border and plunder after snowstorms, droughts, and locust plagues.
A truth." Wang Junlin said rationally.
Yang Kongchan felt that the words the prefect just said were a bit strange, but she also understood what Wang Junlin meant and nodded thoughtfully.
"Sir, when you leave Dami Island and Bangling Island, aren't you afraid that Goguryeo will suddenly attack the two islands at this time?" Yang Kongchan actually had this worry when Luo Shixin and Yang Xuanba led people to attack the two pirate islands, but
Only then did I ask.
Wang Junlin smiled and said: "Not counting the three pirates who were deceived by Yuan Taizuo, Goguryeo just lost 10,000 naval troops. Even if Yuan Taizuo is the leader of Goguryeo, it will take some time to calm down the objections and objections of the domestic nobles and officials.
, and then we can remobilize our forces."
Having said this, Wang Junlin sneered and continued: "What's more, Yuan Taizuo is only a prime minister, and at most he is only a powerful minister. Although the leader of Goguryeo, Gao Jianwu, is young, he is not an ordinary person. Although Yuan Taizuo and his son are powerful,
But it is no longer possible to control the entire Goguryeo like before, so Yuan Taezu will be under great pressure now, although because of hatred and fear of me, plus Yuan Taezu needs a war to restore the prestige he lost in the early stage.
, had to go to war against Da Mi Island and Bai Ling Island again, but because of this, Yuan Taizuo cannot afford to lose in this battle. He must be fully prepared, at least in his opinion, he will defeat us before sending troops."
"It's just that I've been a little worried," Yang Kongchan said. "There are only 4,000 people on Daami Island and Baengling Island. If Goguryeo gathers tens of thousands of people at once to attack, can we stop it?"
Wang Junlin shook his head slightly, remembering the latest news from Guo'er Jean White-bellied Sea Eagle, and said with an enigmatic smile: "The next war between Yuan Taizuo and us has actually begun, and maybe the outcome is no longer in the question.
The battlefield is on."
Yang Kongchan seemed to have realized something, and said: "Your Excellency, do you want to intensify the conflict between Gao Jianwu, the leader of Goguryeo, and Yuan Taizuo, and cause chaos within Goguryeo?"
"I have had this idea before, and I asked Guo'er to try to do it, but the young leader of Goguryeo, Gao Jianwu, was quite cautious and did not fall for it."
Wang Junlin said nothing further. Yang Kongchan still had doubts in her heart, but since Wang Junlin didn't say anything, she couldn't ask any more questions.
After hesitating for a moment, she showed a charming smile and continued: "If I were Gao Jianwu, the leader of Goguryeo, I would not quarrel with Yuan Taezuo while you, a powerful enemy, are watching. Instead, I would wait for Yuan Taezuo.
We will discuss the situation after starting a war with us."
"It seems Gao Jianwu is as smart as you." Wang Junlin smiled.
Yang Kongchan said: "My lord, this time you led people to occupy Da Mi Island and Bangling Island, which actually gave Gao Jianwu an excellent opportunity to regain the royal power. But it also diverted domestic conflicts and attention from Yuan Taizuo, who had been questioned by domestic aristocratic officials.
An excellent means..."
"Your little mind is not simple." Wang Junlin looked at Yang Kongchan and praised: "You have a strong sense of the overall situation and can see the situation in Goguryeo. This is not simple."
Yang Kongchan's pretty face turned red. Wang Junlin's words sounded vaguely like flirting, with a hint of intimacy.
…
…
The pirates on Duobao Island mainly have two strongholds. One is the port water village. They were fully prepared, but Luo Shixin rushed in with his own strength, disrupting the pirates' deployment, easily losing the water village port, and losing money.
There were hundreds of people.
When the pirates in the port fled to the walled city in the middle of the island, Luo Shixin and his men were in hot pursuit. The pirates in the walled city came out to rescue them. Luo Shixin and his men had a fierce close combat with the pirates in the valley between the water walled village and the land walled village. Finally, the pirates
He left more than a hundred corpses behind and reluctantly retreated to the walled city. Now the pirates in the walled city can only fight more than 600 people.
And because it is on an island, the walled city is not well built. The surrounding wall is actually not very high. Once the walled city is breached, the pirates will have no choice but to fight hard. But with the port and the valley,
After two fierce battles, the pirates knew that fighting in close combat was no match for the thousand naval officers and soldiers led by Luo Shixin.
Faced with such a desperate situation, the pirate leader was willing to accept the Sui Dynasty's offer.
However, Wang Junlin put forward the harsh condition of "surrender only". Of course, the pirates refused to accept it. They used bows and arrows to drive away Luo Shixin's surrender, intending to make a final struggle.
Wang Junlin was not surprised by the pirates' reaction, but Luo Shixin was greatly disappointed because the competition between him and Li Xuanba was based on the number of prisoners captured, not the number of enemies killed.
No matter how regretful he was, Luo Shixin had already led his men to prepare for the attack on the stronghold. He no longer pinned his hopes on recruiting and surrendering. He thought that even if he lost to Li Xuanba, he might as well use Duobao Island to practice his skills this time, so he issued a military order
With the help of the officials, we went to prepare to attack the stronghold.
…
…
On Dagui Island, more than three hundred miles away from Duobao Island, there is also a group of pirates who are even more powerful.
The leader of this group of pirates was originally a great nobleman of the Silla Kingdom. He had a deadly feud with the ruler of the Silla Kingdom in his early years. Unable to survive in the Silla Kingdom, he fled to the sea with his family generals and subordinates and occupied the country.
After more than ten years of development, Big Turtle Island has a strength of no less than 6,000 and controls three or four nearby small islands. It can be regarded as the strongest pirate of this generation.
The pirates of Dagui Island saw Wang Junlin approaching in a menacing manner, so they also sent people over to observe the situation.
In addition, there are spies from other pirate forces on nearby islands or sentry ships in the distant sea, watching the situation here.
