Turbulent Times Chapter 1053: The Messenger of Big Turtle Island

If Duobao Island is completely crippled, facing the 4,000 sailors led by Wang Junlin who came across the sea forcefully, although the number of these pirates is quite large, the name behind Dami Island and Bailing Island is the Great Sui , coupled with the fact that Wang Junlin's vicious reputation has gradually spread in this sea area during this period, if they were not extremely forceful, they would not have dared to take the initiative to provoke.

The weather is overcast, and the oppressive breath of death pervades Duobao Island.

Facts have proved that Luo Shixin, who came from Professor Nie Xiaoyu, was 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, but let people put the warship on board. Six long-range crossbows and six catapults were dismantled and transported to the **** east of the city for reassembly.

The long-range crossbows and catapults on the warships are actually miniature versions, but they have enough destructive power against relatively weak walls.

At the military factory in Fanyang County Salt Field, long-range crossbows and catapults have been produced in components. The vulnerable parts are all cast iron, which is not easy to damage, and it is easy to replace and repair parts after damage.

Six long-range crossbows and six catapults were set up on the **** east of the Duobao Island Walled City, and five groups were launched in one go.

Thirty crossbow bolts like short spears and thirty stone bullets smashed on the city wall and fell into the city wall. Not long after the screams sounded, the pirates in the city wall had their will to fight collapsed.

Although these pirates are fierce, they have not undergone systematic training after all. When have they ever experienced this kind of offensive and defensive battle where they can only be beaten and have no power to fight back? How come it's the other way around.

Looking at the raising of the white flag in the walled city, Luo Shixin was overjoyed and thought that maybe the beautiful court lady sent by Silla could become his maid, moreover the kind of personal maid.

…

…

It started to rain lightly, and Wang Junlin and Yang Kongchan were about to go back to the boat, when Luo Shixin sent someone to announce the good news. One hundred and forty-one people, nine hundred and four women, and more than 90 children under the age of ten. Without a single old man, it is impossible for a useless old man to survive on the pirate island.

"Which countries are these pirates from?" Wang Junlin asked Luo Shixin, who had handed over the finishing work to his subordinates and came over to report again.

"Uncle Master, most of these people are from Goguryeo, but there are also people from Baekje, Silla, and Wa, and a small number of people from our Sui Dynasty. The region was plundered, and children were born to pirates and plundered women.”

There is no need to investigate, Wang Junlin knows that the men who came from the pirates are either coerced into the gang or used as coolies. The captured women are naturally divided up like property according to their status and merit, and what is even more tragic is that they are used as camp prostitutes for the enjoyment of the bottom pirates.

So the composition of pirates is very complicated. Some pirates were born on the pirate island. It can be said that they have been pirates since childhood, but their mother must be a kidnapped woman.

It's not just this sea area, the pirate forces around the world are almost in this situation.

"All the pirates who were able to fight with knives were reduced to coolies and transported to Dayi Island. There was a lot of work for them to do. Those women and children were all placed on Bailing Island and became ordinary people, and The refugees sent a few days ago are given the same treatment. They will share some fields and help them cultivate them. Of course, if you don’t want to farm the land, you can also find work and pay them wages. You can share some of the property you get from the island with them, but Not too much, just enough for them to live for a month, you do these things yourself, plan, arrange, and coordinate, and don't leave all the people under your hands." Wang Junlin thought for a while, and directly arranged the fate of these people .

Luo Shixin agreed, and went down to do things according to Wang Junlin's order. Whether it is Wang Junlin or Nie Xiaoyu, they all value Luo Shixin, Xiangxiang, Shen Guoer and Li Xuanba's ability to do practical and trivial things, and consciously train them.

"Congratulations, my lord. This battle has won the labor of more than 1,600 people, which is a lot of labor wealth." Yang Kongchan yawned and stretched his waist. Wang Junlin couldn't help swallowing,

Wang Junlin noticed that Yang Kongchan was looking at him, and looked away embarrassedly, sighed, and said casually: "It sounds cruel, but population is indeed the most important resource for war."

Pause for a while, then continued: "In your opinion, how to deal with this Duobao Island?"

Yang Kongchan regained his spirits, this is the first time Wang Junlin asked her for advice, it seems that recently she has consciously displayed her mind and strategic ability, and the adults have discovered more of her extraordinaryness.

"My lord, I think that our troops are insufficient, and although Duobao Island is not far from Dami Island and Baengling Island, it is still half a day's sea journey, so it is not beneficial to divide troops to garrison, so I think we should use this Duobao Island The island exchanges other interests with the nearby big pirate forces." Yang Kongchan said after a little thought.

After a pause, Yang Kongchan frowned again and said, "However, if the larger pirate forces nearby don't take the initiative to come to the door, it is difficult for us to take the initiative to find each other, so this matter is easy to say, but it is a bit troublesome to operate. .”

"You are right." Wang Junlin did not hide his admiration in his heart, "As for your concerns, don't worry, I think a relatively large pirate force will come to you soon."

Yang Kongchan was taken aback immediately, obviously the trick he just mentioned was already in Wang Junlin's plan, and he had even targeted the target of the transaction.

"My lord, I don't know which pirate force it is, why did it take the initiative to come to the door." Yang Kongchan looked puzzled.

Wang Junlin said with a smile: "Gan Ziqi, the patriarch of the Gan clan, the lord of the Big Turtle Island, was once the prime minister of Silla, and he is quite capable. Moreover, the Gan clan has great influence in Silla, which made the leader of Silla fear Gan Ziqi. He plotted to exterminate the clan, but Gan Ziqi discovered it in advance, and led his clansman, generals, and servants to escape overseas and came to Dagui Island, but hundreds of clansmen were also killed, including Gan Ziqi's favorite four. It is said that Gan Ziqi wanted to avenge his clansmen in his dreams, but Silla’s national power has grown a lot in the past few years. Although Gan Ziqi has occupied the Big Turtle Island and the three small islands next to it, he has 6,000 sailors through his painstaking experience. But revenge is still impossible."
