military camp.
As the capital commander, Cao Minde looked at Tang Ruocheng in shock. After being silent for a while, he said to Tang Ruocheng, "Mr. Tang, is this really true?"
"Are we going a little too far in doing this?"
"Master Cao, if the threat of pirates is not subsided, the ministers in the court will be furious and the prefect will be furious."
"I wonder if you can afford it, Mr. Cao?" Tang Ruocheng looked at Cao Minde and asked.
"Our move is just to borrow the merchant ships of those wealthy merchants, and we will naturally compensate those merchants afterwards."
"If we do this, won't we be able to get them to do what we ask them to do?"
"These merchants are bullying each other. If I go alone, they will definitely not take me as a teacher seriously!"
"If you follow me, they will not dare to act rashly!"
"We sank those merchant ships in the Sanshakou area and blocked the river. Even if the pirates have water skills, they will not be able to get away from the river."
"As long as the imperial court's order comes, won't those pirates be the turtles in the urn?"
Tang Ruocheng looked at the capital commander Cao Minde and continued, "Sir Cao, this move does not require the deployment of troops with tiger talismans. It is just for you to make a posture to deter those merchants. Isn't it possible to do this?"
"Sir Cao, you should know that the prefect is a resolute and resolute man. If you let him know that you did nothing during the time when the pirates brought trouble to Jiangsu and Zhejiang!"
"What do you think the prefect will think of you?"
"Do you think your black gauze hat and the head on your neck can still be left?"
Tang Ruocheng was a Jinshi, and his mouth was extremely sharp.
With just a few words, Cao Minde, the commander of the capital, was so frightened by Tang Ruocheng's words that he broke into a cold sweat.
As a subordinate of the prefect Wang Shouren, Cao Minde certainly knew how powerful this prefect was.
If he had really done nothing to prevent the pirates from getting into trouble, then the prefect Wang Shouren would definitely settle the score with him when he returned to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
When he thought of the chilling eyes of the prefect Wang Shouren, Cao Minde felt bad all over.
Cao Minde gritted his teeth and nodded to Tang Ruocheng, "Mr. Tang, I, Mr. Cao, listen to you!"
"Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it!"
Without further delay, Tang Ruocheng, Cao Minde and others went to the wealthy families who owned merchant ships.
Shipwreck blocks river!
This was Huang Tinghui's plan long ago. The reason why the pirates rushed into Ruian County so arrogantly was undoubtedly their ships.
As long as they escape to the ship, the world is theirs.
However, Dasheng Kingdom's sailors have been out of battle formation for a long time, and there is no way they can be their opponents.
They just need to go down the river and rush directly out of the estuary.
Then they will really escape, and no one will be able to do anything to them at that time.
But what if all the merchant ships of the big merchants were sunk in the Sanshakou area?
Then they will build an artificial barrier on this water area. The pirates' boats will not be able to go down the river from the Sanshakou area and will have to be stopped in this water area.
By that time, those pirates will really be like turtles in a urn, and become meat on the chopping board.
At this time, the pirates who retreated from Ruian County did not know Huang Tinghui's plan. They brought a large amount of gold and silver jewelry onto the carriage. The carriage was filled to the brim with gold, silver and jewelry, all of which were taken by these pirates.
Robbed from Ruian County.
The greedy pirates wanted to bring more wealth out, but their carriages could not put more wealth into wooden boxes.
But in the end they had no choice but to give up after they couldn't hold the gold and silver jewelry.
After all, for the pirates, what they are most concerned about right now is whether the merchant ships of Chongen Temple are controlled by the officers and soldiers of Dasheng Kingdom.
Under such circumstances, those extremely anxious pirates naturally wanted to spread their wings and fly towards the vicinity of Chong'en Temple.
The survivors in Ruian County were randomly tied up by these pirates and thrown into dilapidated houses.
On the one hand, this is one of Huang Tinghui's promises to let them leave and not get entangled.
On the other hand, if you take these people with you, it will undoubtedly greatly slow down their progress.
Therefore, the pirates could only abandon all these people and evacuate from Ruian County in a hurry.
"Brother Hui, just let them go like this?"
"Look at their carriages. The boxes inside contain the hard-earned money of the people of Ruian County!"
"These butchers, they killed so many innocent people!"
Zhang Cheng watched the pirates swaggeringly retreating from Ruian County, and he gritted his teeth and said to Huang Tinghui.
"These pirates are here for money, as long as the surviving common people can survive."
“As for money, it’s all external things!”
"Let these pirates be arrogant for a while. Even if they have such a large amount of wealth, they have no life to take it back!"
Looking at the pirates struttingly retreating from Ruian County, Huang Tinghui's tone was very calm and indifferent.
He rushed to Ruian County this time, firstly to save Li Zisong and others, and secondly, to save the people of Ruian County who survived the catastrophe.
As for more, there are countermeasures later.
These pirates are so arrogant right now, they will never know that they are in danger.
"It's not that I won't report it, the time has not yet come!"
"Brother Hui, after a while, you want Zhang Cheng to kill him!"
Zhang Cheng clenched his fists, looked at the pirates strutting away, and said to Huang Tinghui in a muffled voice.
"This is natural!"
"When the time comes, I will use their blood and their heads!"
"Pay homage to our dead relatives and friends, and pay homage to the people who died innocently and tragically!" Huang Tinghui nodded to Zhang Cheng, "Let's go in, Zi Song, Mr. Xu Wei and the others should still be inside!"
"We have more important things to do next, and we can't delay it for a moment!"
"We must make good use of every moment now, and finally we can kill all these pirates without any bloodshed!" Huang Tinghui said to Zhang Cheng in a deep voice.
"Well, Brother Hui!"
"The aura of your head is not worth ten thousand cities to you alone!"
"Whatever you say, Zhang Cheng will listen to you!" Zhang Cheng said to Huang Tinghui very boldly.
As for the others, they saw that Huang Tinghui was able to scare away all the pirates with just a few arrows.
When these people looked at Huang Tinghui again, they already regarded Huang Tinghui as a "god"-like figure.
If he was not a "god" figure, how could he have allowed these pirates to give up Ruian County without spending a single soldier or even starting a battle?
This is something that only a person like Zhuge Kongming can do.
Therefore, Huang Tinghui's prestige in the minds of these people has suddenly risen.
