1124. Exterminate the pirates

Seeing Li Pojun say this, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't say much, nodded in response, but smiled bitterly in his heart, I was afraid that in this way, his eldest grandson was afraid that the reputation of the people in Yangzhou would not be good, after all, Yangzhou had been peaceful for many years, when Wu Wang Du Fuwei occupied Yangzhou, and finally asked to be attached, so Yangzhou and other Jianghuai places have not gone through a tragic war, and it is a prosperous place, and the people are gentle.

At this time, Li Pojun said again: "This sea frisbee has been entrenched in the East China Sea for many years, and the harm is endless, just take this opportunity to get rid of him, although he is arrested, but the thief nest on Pingsha Island will definitely be entrenched by sea bandits." I intend to dispatch troops to eradicate Pingsha Island, what does my uncle think? ”

"Yes, it's just a gang of bandits, more than 1,000 people will be captured, and a government can be sent to level it." The eldest grandson Wuji didn't take this group of bandits seriously at all, he followed Li Shimin to fight in the east and west, Xue Ju, Wang Shichong, Dou Jiande...... Which one is not a hero in the world, a group of pirates really can't get into his eyes.

"Then let Chen Zitong go, and then recruit two regiments of sailors to help." Li Pojun thought about it for a while, and said again for the sake of insurance.

Datang also has a water army, and its strength is very strong. The Tang Dynasty Navy inherited the Sui Dynasty Navy Army, in such as Yangzhou, Dengzhou and other important towns are stationed in the navy, with the most advanced sea ships in the world, there are special horse ships for transporting horses, there are special crossbows for attacking, the ships are also fast speed vehicles and ships, with pedals as power, very fast, the water sergeants are also carefully selected people with the best water nature, strong combat power, in the offshore waters, those small sampans around Zhuyi are not worth mentioning at all.

The eldest grandson Wuji also responded when he heard this, he is also familiar with military affairs, and naturally knows that the enemy cannot be underestimated with soldiers, and if he has the strength to exterminate, he doesn't have to keep his hands, the pirates are entrenched in the thieves' nests, and they are familiar with the terrain and sea conditions, if they are not careful, it will be a joke if the boat capsizes in the gutter.

"I have no right to mobilize the navy, and I ask Your Highness to issue an order." The eldest grandson Wuji, as the governor of Yangzhou, supervised the military and political affairs of Yangzhou, Chuzhou, and Haozhou, but he had no right to mobilize the navy, and the navy did not belong to the jurisdiction of the sixteen prefectures, but belonged to one part.

"Appointment? To whom is the order to be made? Li Pojun doesn't know much about this, he doesn't know much about the navy, and he doesn't know who the current commander of the navy is, but Li Pojun, as the envoy of the Jianghuai two provinces, promoted all the important military and political affairs of the Jianghuai River, and the navy of the Jianghuai and Huai provinces is naturally under his control, but it is okay to mobilize the navy.

"Li Xianzhi, the head of the navy, is recuperating in Suzhou, and His Royal Highness can repair a letter to him." The eldest grandson Wuji straightened. What he said was a bit of a Tao, only saying that he was repairing a book, and he didn't say that he had given an order.

Li Pojun also raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Li Xizhi? But the prince of Si'an County is re-glorious? ”

"Exactly, Chongguang Gong has been appointed by the Governor of Guizhou since a few years ago, and now in Suzhou, Chongguang Gong is very old and has a lot of discomfort, and it is estimated that Zhishi has been in the past two years. Your Highness can send a letter of condolences and give some precious medicines and heavy gifts." The eldest grandson Wuji's eyes were burning, and he said not without meaning.

Li Pojun was stunned when he heard this, and before he could react, the eldest grandson Wuji said again: "Chongguang Gong has a very high prestige and a lot of reputation, his younger brother Li Xiyu is currently the assassin of Tongzhou, and his son Li Huaiyan is also appointed in the Ministry of Rites."

said it so obviously, Li Pojun also understood, and said with a straight smile: "Uncle, don't worry, I know what's going on."

Li Xianzhi of course he knows, otherwise he would not know his title table, Li Zhizhi's greatest achievement is to enter Lingnan single-handedly, saying that Lingnan Ren Gui under the command of more than 60 prefectures and counties attached, if it is not Li Xianzhi, the pacification of Lingnan may have to move some fighting, and later Li Xianzhi served as the head of the navy, with the army to quell the Jianghuai rebellion of the auxiliary Gongyou, and made great contributions. Li Pojun thinks that Li Xizhi is a character similar to Wang Xuance who destroyed a country by himself, and he is a character who single-handedly enters the enemy territory to stir up the situation.

After the eldest grandson Wuji left, Li Pojun immediately considered the vocabulary, repaired a book, and called into Chen Kang, "Hand this letter to Li Xianzhi, the head of the naval army in Suzhou, in addition, I heard that Li Xianzhi is unwell, you choose some precious tonic from the treasury, and you personally send it to express your condolences."

Chen Kang was stunned when he heard this, looked at Li Pojun and hesitated: "Your Highness, there is no one to protect you."

"Go quickly, I'll just lie here and ask for some guards, besides, Hanwa is not a human." Li Pojun rolled his eyes and waved his hand.

The corners of Chen Kang's mouth twitched, he looked at Shi Jin, who was dozing off on the side, and stepped forward and kicked over, Hanwa was excited, looking at Chen Kang a little confused, "Hanwa, I'm going to go on a long trip, you protect Your Highness" Chen Kang squatted down and said seriously.

Hanwa patted her chest and said, "Brother Jiu, don't worry, just leave it to Hanwa."

Chen Kang said goodbye and left, but Hanwa got up and rubbed her face and stood at the head of Li Pojun's bed with a serious face.

"What are you doing?".

"Hanwa guards Langjun". Hanwa's eyes blinked, and she said very disapprovingly.

"Then why haven't you been so attentive before?"

"Brother Jiu was here before, Hanwa just needs to be obedient."

"And now?"

"Brother Jiu is far away, then it's time for Hanwa to protect Langjun." Hanwa stood upright with his hammer in his arms, and said with a glance.

Li Pojun was stunned, looking at Hanwa's chubby and honest face, he was a little distracted for a while, he was really innocent.

Two days later, 130 people from Hai'an's family, and more than a dozen bandits including Haifei, who had to be arrested, were escorted to Dongdajie, the most prosperous and lively street in Yangzhou.

The eldest grandson, the old fox, did not come forward, but let Sima Lu Liang preside over as the prison officer, Lu Liang pronounced the crime of starting a family in public, and released more than 100 old and weak women and children and good people on the spot, and the remaining 30 people were pressed under the stage.

With Lu Liang's order, the executioner slashed his knife, and thirty heads fell to the ground together, and blood gushed out, staining the bustling streets of Yangzhou and frightening the people of Yangzhou who had been peaceful for a long time.

Li Zhengzhi, the commander of the navy, also quickly replied, and immediately transferred the two regiments of the Yangzhou navy to obey Li Pojun's orders, and Li Pojun ordered Chen Zitong to be the main general, and the captain of the navy Hong Tao as the deputy general, immediately reorganized the army and exterminated Pingsha Island.

Chen Zitong was also very happy to receive the order, he was about to get sick in Yangzhou, when he was fighting against the Eastern Turks last winter, he transferred the military government of the world, did not draw the military government in Yangzhou, and missed the war of annihilation, Chen Zitong was very regretful, but fortunately, after His Royal Highness the prince came down, he had a place to use, first cooperated with Gao Jifu to intercept and kill Liu Jingzhi's rebels, and now he can go to sea to suppress bandits, Chen Zitong This rough man has a smile on his face that can't be hidden.

There are two generals, Chen Zitong and Hong Tao, Li Pojun is not worried at all, Hong Tao is a general strongly promoted by Li Xianzhi, and Li Zhengzhi, as a famous general, will naturally not be far behind. And Chen Zitong's ability Li Pojun is also recognized, can be a four-rank captain, Chen Zitong's ability is naturally there, 1,500 elite government soldiers plus 500 water army, a total of 2,000 troops, to exterminate a leader is dead, the dragon is leaderless hundreds of bandits, and if you can't take it, then the prestige of the Tang Army is really in vain.
