Song Wen took a rickety boat and headed straight to the shore. Waiting on the dock was an excited Zhang Huan and several guards from the navy camp.
"Brother Wen! Brother Wen..."
Zhang Huan looked excited and waved his hands towards Song Wen... Behind him was still the taciturn and extraordinary Genban guard.
A few horses escorted a carriage and drove over. It turned out to be a shopkeeper of Song Wen's Sihai Chamber of Commerce in Dengzhou City. He had followed Song Wen out of Bianliang to start a business.
"Mr. Lang! Old Feng is so polite..."
Song Wen returned the gift with his hand, and the group headed straight for Dengzhou City.
Song Wen'an, who quietly entered the city at night, was sitting in Zhang Huan's house. The two of them were waiting quietly for the return of Zhang Dongcheng, the deputy commander of the navy.
It was getting late, so Zhang Dongcheng arrived late and said to Song Wen: "Mr. Song, you have neglected me... Hua Dianhua, the magistrate of the state, has already given the central government a break and officially requested that the Dengzhou Navy be abolished!"
Song Wen nodded: "It doesn't matter what he said, the Privy Council still has to ask Lu Si and Shuai Si about this matter. In addition... although the navy has been abandoned, among the three nearby countries, only the Dengzhou Navy of Song Dynasty is the most powerful.
Yes! If the imperial court wanted to unite with the Jurchens or others, how could they defeat the Liao people on land? They would have to rely on naval transportation..."
Zhang Dongcheng said in surprise: "Have you calculated this? Indeed, since last year, there have been seven or eight envoys quietly going to Liaodong by boat. The farthest one seems to have gone to the Huanglong Mansion of the Jurchens.
It’s close!”
Song Wen nodded... "Ma Zhi!"
Zhang Dongcheng smiled bitterly and shook his head... "I can't understand these things, so I don't dare to comment..."
Song Wen curled his lips and said, "It's just a matter of seeking the skin of a tiger! If the Song Dynasty's army cannot defeat the declining Khitan people, what can they do against the Jurchens who are like wolves and tigers?"
Zhang Dongcheng asked in a low voice: "It's just an alliance. The Song Dynasty only wanted to take back the Sixteenth State of Yanyun. Why did it fight against the Jurchens?"
After the food and drinks were served, Zhang Dongcheng hosted a banquet for Song Wen and told him some of the things that had happened in the Dengzhou Navy camp in the past six months. He now urgently hopes that Song Wen can help him and save the Dengzhou Navy...
Song Wenze made arrangements lightly. Korean bandits and Japanese bandits were about to come to Sanxian Island and the coast of Dengzhou to harass... This is not a serious military exploit! In addition, the Chamber of Commerce in Dengzhou wants to make money, and the governor of the state still has these officials.
If you want to get promoted and make a fortune, why not help each other?
Song Wen said to Zhang Dongcheng: "Tomorrow I will ask the Sihai Chamber of Commerce to bring a group of small chambers of commerce to Zhizhou Yamen to ask for an audience. I said that during this period, Korean bandits and Japanese bandits were roaming the sea. Over there in Huazhizhou..."
Zhang Dongcheng sighed: "Wood and crossbows... tung oil is white and cotton is used. Now I can use no more than ten warships! The Dengzhou navy... alas..."
Song Wen chuckled and said, "I have told Commander Zhang about this a long time ago, but Commander Zhang refused to nod!"
Zhang Dongcheng sighed... "The navy of the Great Song Dynasty accepted the employment of the Chamber of Commerce... Isn't this inappropriate?"
Song Wen spread his hands: "Bohai and I don't have enough warships, Sanxian Island must have a battle... The navy does not need to intervene in the fighting on the island. The Dengzhou navy is only responsible for helping us catch those who have escaped."
Just sink or capture it!"
Zhang Dongcheng wondered: "On an island hundreds of miles away, even if you have been operating it for a few months... are you so confident that you can defeat those pirates?"
Song Wen nodded and cupped his hands and said: "After clearing out this largest group of pirates, Sanxian Island will be as stable as Mount Tai. Food, wood, silver, copper coins... Every month, the navy of the Dengzhou Navy will pull the warships to the remaining
I'll be intimidating the people nearby, and I would like to ask Commander Zhang to agree to come down."
Zhang Dongcheng sighed: "Are you really sure that you can ask Captain Gao to speak to the Privy Council and retain the Dengzhou Navy?"
Song Wen cupped his hands and smiled: "We will wait and see..."
On the Japanese pirate ship, leader Ozawa was sitting precariously on a horse. This time the Japanese pirate volunteered to be the vanguard to attack Sanxian Island at night!
More than two hundred Japanese pirates waited for more than a year before they seized the opportunity to make a comeback... These noble and humble species deserved to be divided into pieces and let the samurai masters rule!
Walking against the wind, it takes some time... In the distance, through the moonlight, you can already see the newly built fortress and tower on Sanxian Island! Good guy, how much money does this Song Dynasty person have? This three is a fool.
Is it possible that Immortal Island really needs to be built into a city? From now on... among the merchants and ship owners involved in maritime trafficking in the entire Northland, who would dare to offend the owner of Sanxian Island?
Ozawa Ohne felt more and more that his decision was absolutely correct!
If the Bohai Pirates and the people of Bijia Island and the Song Dynasty completely establish a foothold, this sea area may have to be brought under their command in the future...
While he is still on a firm footing and has just won a victory... he directly lands on the island to attack!
Ozawa Ohne commanded the fleet to quietly bypass the dock and go straight to the north of the largest island of Sanxian Island... bypassing the heavily defended dock area and directly attack the back! In this way, even one of these small boats grabbing the beach may not be able to save it.
Well, the rugged boulders and the waves were enough to crash these small boats on the beach...
Don’t the Han people have a saying that the cauldron sinks the boat? Let you see the courage and force of the warriors!
The back mountain of the dark Sanxian Island was completely dark except for a tall stone tower near the top of the mountain, with a huge red lantern shining on it, like a lighthouse in this sea area.
Ozawa gritted his teeth and jumped between the rocks, and finally took a breather when he came to a forest...
"How many ships were destroyed? How many people were lost?"
"Chief, more than thirty warriors and warriors have died...those Koreans have died even more."
Ozawa Dagen cursed... "We have succeeded... Now follow me and directly attack their back village! Penetrate the Sanxian Island Dazhai and directly attack the dock... Our big ships will attack at the same time, so that we can seize the dock by cooperating inside and outside."
We have won completely! Don't kill the Song people, keep him... let him see that only we Yamato samurai are the real rulers in this sea! They can only hope to cooperate with us..."
More than three hundred Japanese pirates and Korean pirates quickly attacked the stronghold on the top of the mountain. Spears and samurai swords made a clattering sound. Ozawa Ohne did not care to warn them... Now it is time to seize time, defeat the Bohai pirates and capture the Song Dynasty! As long as
Catch him and he will be left to your own devices!
There was a bang... Several fires suddenly burned on the top of the mountain behind Dazhai!
Ozawa Dagen's heart suddenly sank...
Rows of Bohai pirates looked down at them with condescending smiles... There were also some Song warriors wearing cowhide armor standing behind with excited faces, holding strange black and round things in their hands.
A Korean thief who saw Park Tongjie being blown up from a distance suddenly shouted... "It's that thing! It's that thing, something that can explode... Leader Park died in the hands of this thing..."
Ozawa Dagen looked at the enemies around him and suddenly showed a smile... "Dear leader of the Song people, we still have a team of nearly 500 people who can serve you... If you accept our allegiance, we..."
Da Huze frowned... and then quietly looked at Song Wen's expression.
