Chapter 1053 The messenger of the big turtle island
If Duobao Island is completely crippled, facing the 4,000-strong navy led by Wang Junlin who comes across the sea, although there are many pirates, there are nominally Da Sui behind Daami Island and Bailing Island. In addition,
The evil reputation of King Junlin has gradually spread in this sea area during this period. If they were not forced to do so, they would not dare to take the initiative to provoke.
The weather was overcast, and the oppressive smell of death pervaded Duobao Island.
Facts have proved that Luo Shixin, who was taught by Professor Nie Xiaoyu, is already a brave and resourceful person at a young age. When he was already sure of victory, he did not lead people to attack by force. Instead, he asked people to use the long-range weapons on the warship.
Six crossbows and six catapults each were dismantled and transported up to the slopes on the east side of the walled city for reassembly.
The long-range crossbows and catapults on the warships are actually smaller versions, but they have enough destructive power against the relatively weak wall.
At the military factory in the Fanyang County Salt Farm, long-range crossbows and catapults have been produced in component form. The wearing parts are all made of iron, which is not easy to be damaged, and after damage, it is easy to replace the parts and repair them.
Six long-range crossbows and six catapults were set up on the slope east of Duobao Island Walled City, and five groups were fired at once.
Thirty short spear-like crossbow arrows and thirty stone bullets hit the city wall and fell into the walled city. Not long after the screams started to sound, the pirates in the walled city had already collapsed in their fighting will.
Although these pirates are fierce, they have not experienced systematic training after all. When have they experienced this kind of offensive and defensive battles where they can only be beaten and have no ability to fight back? Isn't it possible that the attacking party used their lives to fill the gap? Why is it the other way around?
come over.
Seeing the white flag raised in the walled city to express his intention to surrender, Luo Shixin was overjoyed and thought that maybe the beautiful maid sent by Silla Kingdom might become his maid, and a personal maid.
…
…
It started to rain lightly. Wang Junlin and Yang Kongchan were about to go back to the ship. Over there, Luo Shixin sent someone to announce the good news. The battle on Duobao Island was over. Luo Shixin captured more than 1,600 prisoners of war, including 640 young and strong men.
There are one person, 904 women, and more than 90 children under the age of ten. Without an old man, it is impossible for the useless old man to survive on the pirate island.
"Which countries are these pirates from?" Wang Junlin asked, looking at Luo Shixin who handed over the finishing work to his subordinates and ran over to report again.
"Uncle, most of these people are Goguryeo, but there are also people from Baekje, Silla and Wa, and a small number are from our Sui Dynasty. Those women are all plundered from maritime merchants or coastal areas of various countries.
The children who come here are all the children of pirates and plundered women."
Without having to investigate, Wang Junlin knew that the men who had been plundered by pirates were either coerced into joining their gangs or used as coolies. The women who were plundered were naturally divided up like property according to their status and merit.
, and what is even more miserable is that they are used as camp prostitutes for the enjoyment of the lowest level pirates.
Therefore, the composition of pirates is very complex. Some of them were born on pirate islands. It can be said that they have been pirates since childhood, but their mothers must have been robbed women.
Not only this sea area, but also pirate forces all over the world are almost in this situation.
"All the pirates who were able to pick up swords and fight were reduced to coolies and shipped to Daami Island. There was a lot of work for them to do. Those women and children were all placed on Baengnyeong Island and became ordinary people, just like the previous few days.
The refugees sent here will be treated the same. They will be given some fields and help them cultivate land. Of course, if they don’t want to farm, they can also find work and pay them wages. You can give them some of the property you get from the island, but not too much.
, it’s enough for them to live for a month. Do these things yourself, plan, arrange, coordinate, don’t fake all the people below." Wang Junlin thought for a moment, and directly arranged the fate of these people.
Luo Shixin agreed and went down to do things according to Wang Junlin's orders. Both Wang Junlin and Nie Xiaoyu valued Luo Shixin, Xiang Xiang, Shen Guoer and Li Xuanba's ability to do concrete things and trivial matters, and consciously respected them. Get some exercise.
"Congratulations, sir, this battle has involved the labor of more than 1,600 people, which is a huge labor wealth." Yang Kongchan yawned and stretched his waist. At that moment, the charming curve made Wang Junlin unable to help himself. swallow saliva,
Wang Junlin noticed Yang Kongchan looking at him, and looked back with some embarrassment, sighed, and said casually: "It sounds cruel, but population is indeed the most important war resource."
After a pause, he continued: "In your opinion, how should we deal with this Duobao Island?"
Yang Kongchan perked up. This was the first time Wang Junlin asked her for advice. It seemed that she had been consciously showing off her intelligence and strategic abilities recently, and as expected, adults discovered more of her extraordinary qualities.
"Sir, I think we don't have enough troops, and although Duobao Island is not far from Daami Island and Baengling Island, it's still half a day's sea journey away. It's really not conducive to divide the troops for garrison, so I think we should use Duobao Island and the nearby ones. The big pirate power in exchange for other interests." Yang Kongchan said after thinking for a while.
After a pause, Yang Kongchan frowned again and said: "But if the larger pirate forces nearby don't take the initiative to come to our door, we can't take the initiative to find them, so this matter is simple to say but a bit troublesome to operate."
"You are right." Wang Junlin did not conceal his appreciation. "As for your concerns, don't worry. I think a larger pirate force will come to visit you soon."
Yang Kongchan was immediately shocked. It was obvious that the clever plan he just mentioned was already in Wang Junlin's plan, and he had even targeted the target of the transaction.
"Sir, I don't know which pirate force is why they came to our door." Yang Kongchan looked puzzled.
Wang Junlin said with a smile: "Gan Ziqi, the leader of the Gan clan, the owner of the Big Turtle Island, was once the prime minister of the Silla Kingdom. He was very capable, and the Gan clan was very powerful in the Silla Kingdom, which made the leader of the Silla Kingdom fear Gan Ziqi. He plotted to exterminate the clan, but was discovered in advance by Gan Ziqi. He led his clan, generals and servants to escape overseas and settled on Dagui Island. However, hundreds of clan members were killed, including Gan Ziqi's four most beloved sons. It is said that Gan Ziqi always dreamed of avenging his people, but the Silla Kingdom's national power has increased a lot in recent years. Although Gan Ziqi occupied Dagui Island and three small islands next to it, and had 6,000 naval troops with painstaking experience, he still wanted to Revenge remains impossible."
