The stronghold of Shen Heming's Haikou on Fujiang Island is divided into two villages, water and land. Before Lin Jian led the army, he broke through the water village in the afternoon, and there was an excitation point in the valley between the water village and the Lu village, and finally there were only more than 300 people who retreated to the land village.

Naliu Mountain is not dangerous, once Lu Zhai is breached, the remnants of the Kou will not be able to retreat to Naliu Mountain, and defend it according to the danger-

Faced with such a desperate situation, the bandit leader Shen Heming was interested in accepting Zhao'an.

It's just that Lin Jian put forward the harsh condition of "letting the Huaidong Military Division dispose of it", and Shen Heming of course refused to accept it, and expelled the envoy from surrender, intending to make a final struggle.

Shen Heming's reaction, Lin Jian was not surprised, he said to Li Ji, the son of the Danluo king, who boarded the ship and went back and forth: "Shen Heming is stained with the blood of the Danluo people and the Jeju garrison, and he is not eligible to enjoy the treatment of Zhao'an. Since he refuses to surrender, then take his head...... "I want Li Ji, the prince of Danluo, and Ma Po Monkey to prepare for the attack on the village, and don't pin your hopes on surrender."

Lin Jian was determined to fight a war of annihilation, and Li Ji, the son of King Danluo, did not say anything. Wang Jun will also attack Seogwipo City in the future, and this time it is good to take Fujiang Village to practice his hands, so with the assistance of the military commander, he will arrange preparations for attacking the village.

On the island of Kuga, across the sea from Fukue Island, there is also a more powerful group of pirates.

The leader of this group of pirates, Chi Guan, was a native of Quang Nam County, who was a pirate in Nanyang in his early years, offended the royal family of Jiaozhi State, and could not survive in Nanyang, so he took his subordinates to the East China Sea. Chi Kan used Kuga Island as a base and controlled several islands south of Kuga, and has a history of 12 years, which is considered a veteran pirate.

Chi Zhou was warned in advance, and he also saw that the Huaidong Army was coming violently, so he did not dare to join forces with Shen Heming, so he retreated to the island at this time and waited and saw the situation.

In addition, there are spies from other pirate forces, either on nearby islands or on the open sea, watching the situation on this side.

If Fujiang Island is completely disabled, in the face of the Huaidong naval army that has crossed the sea, these pirates do not have the will to unite to resist, so they must consider whether to withdraw from this sea area and look for a new living space in the south.

The weather was thin and overcast, and the snow reflected in the night, making the surroundings as bright as a moonlit night, and the oppressive smell of death permeated Fukue Island.

Even in the battle of attacking Fujiang Village, he did not need Lin Lian to personally command, and he did not lie down to rest at night, and repeatedly studied and judged the situation in Haidong by the light of the oil lamp.

It was only after dawn that the Guards Battalion began to transport the components of the scorpion crossbow ashore and assemble the scorpion crossbow on the slope on the east side of the Fujiang Luzhai River.

The scorpion crossbow can only be regarded as a small catapult, and the firing of stone projectiles is limited to 30 catties, but it has enough destructive power for the relatively weak wall.

In Chongzhou, the scorpion crossbow has been produced in components, and the vulnerable parts are all made of iron, and a scorpion crossbow weighs only more than 1,000 catties, which is made into components, which is more convenient to transport by warship, and the damage is easier to repair.

When the 12 scorpion crossbows were erected on the slope on the east side of Fujiang Village, and the calibration test firing of 60 stone bullets had just been completed, less than half of the stone bullets entered the village, and the fighting will of the remnants of the village collapsed, and the white flag was picked out to ask for surrender.

***********

When he heard the news, Lin Jian walked out of the cabin with his saber, stood on the deck with his sword, and in the morning light, he could see the Fujiang Village at the western foot of the Naliu Mountain opening the door of the village, and the big and small pirate leaders raised their knives above their heads and walked out of the stockade to show their surrender.

Lin Jian watched in silence for a moment, and asked Li Ji, the son of the King of Danluo, to send someone to accept the surrender.

Lin Jian took a nap before noon, and when he got up at noon, the battle on Fujiang Island was completely over, and Lin Jing and others came over to ask for instructions on how to settle the surrendered prisoners of war.

More than 300 remnants surrendered, in addition to 300 or 400 people who had been taken captive from all over the country.

These Dingkou were mainly women, including Goryeo, Fusang, Liuqiu, and even those who were taken captive from Nanyang, and many of them were taken captive from the coastal areas of Liangzhejiang and Jiangdong.

The men were taken captive, either coerced into the gang or used as coolies. And the women who were taken captive often gave the chiefs as a reward to gather their subordinates; Even more miserable was for the use of prostitutes for the pleasures of the lowest pirates.

Fukue Island was also taken over by Shin Heming from other pirate forces three years ago, and some of his subordinates were personally recruited, some came to annex other pirate forces, and some were coerced into joining forces, and the composition was very complicated. There are also people who were born on Fukue Island, to pirate fathers and captive mothers.

Between Kyuju, Goju, and Jeju, the pirate forces in the Haidong region are almost in this situation.

"The big leaders headed by Shen Heming and their families will all be sentenced to exile and sent to Chongzhou to be handed over to Changsun Geng to take over," Lin Jian looked through the list of prisoners of war, sketched out the more than ten big leaders headed by Shen Heming, drew them with a red pen, and instructed the other prisoners of war to make arrangements, "The other people, who have married and have children, are advised to make peace or not, and those who have multiple wives are only allowed to stay in one of them, and they are allowed to stay on Fujiang Island and settle down." Look at the situation of the transformation, and after two or three years, give them the status of a freeman. Women who are determined to clear the line with the Kou and return to the Kou, and if they have children, they will bring their children and the women who serve as camp prostitutes to Danluo Island for temporary resettlement. When a ship comes, it will be sent back to Chongzhou for resettlement. The rest of the people are handed over to Dan Guoluo to accept...... What do you think is wrong with this treatment? ”

"Thank you, Envoy." Li Ji, the son of King Danluo, said.

The Danluo State was limited by Dingkou and its national strength was weak, and the following wars were frequent, and the limitation of population shortage would be more obvious. Lin Tie arranged it this way, and Danluo Guo could almost get more than 200 Ding Zhuang, which was a lot of labor wealth.

Lin Lian smiled, he pulled the Danluo Wangjun out to charge, and the Danluo Wangjun also suffered dozens of casualties yesterday, so at this time, he couldn't help but share the spoils with them.

To put it cruelly, population is indeed the most important resource for war.

Lin Jian said: "The army will stop here for a few days, and the work should be done more carefully, not roughly." ”

As soon as Lin Jingzhong, Li Ji, Ma Po Monkey and the others turned around and left the cabin, Ge Cunxin came in to report: "There is a ship that has just come from the north coast of Kyushu Island, and it is a messenger sent by the Saga clan, and the person we sent to contact is also on the ship, asking to meet your lordship......

"Seeing the wind and making the rudder, it's also easy to deal with. Please come aboard. Lin Jian waited for the Saga clan to enter the river, stood up, and asked Ge Cunxin to bring people on the boat.

*************

Goryeo was most deeply influenced by the Central Plains, and there were many domestic royal families and nobles who used Han surnames and learned Han calligraphy. Fuso, which is dominated by the islands of Kyushu and Honju, has long been nominally regarded as the suzerainty of the Central Plains, but its cultural impact is much smaller than that of Goryeo.

On the other hand, the two feudal kingdoms of Tsukushi in the northeast of Kyushu Island and Osumi in the south had close contacts with the Central Plains maritime merchants because of their geographical convenience, and there were many people in the territory who could speak the official dialect of the Central Plains.

Yamashita Keigo is a retainer of the Saga clan, about thirty years old, with a clear face, according to the etiquette of the Central Plains, he gave a salute to Hayashi, knelt down in the cabin, opened the gift box he carried, and said: "The envoy of the Heavenly Empire helped my state to exterminate the pirates and regain his homeland, and the head of the Saga family is very grateful. The head of the Saga family prepared a thin gift and ordered Jingwu to be presented to the envoy. When the envoy returns to the court, the head of the Saga family has no tributary treasures, please bring it back to the ......"

Lin Jian looked at the dozen or so glittering pearls in the long box-shaped gift box, but he didn't expect that the Saga clan would not contribute to the pirates, but rushed over to recover his homeland. If Fukue Island was easily returned to the Saga family, what did he do with so much effort?

"The pirates of Fukue Island encouraged the Koreans to attack Danra Island, where is the Saga family? Fukue Island pirates extort passing merchant ships, and forcibly levy transit money with passing merchant ships at a ratio of three out of ten, where is Saga's family? Pirates entrenched on Fukue Island, abducting women to rape / adultery, where is Saga's house? Lin Jian stared at Yamashita Keigo's face and asked him three questions in a row.

"Compared with the Heavenly Empire, Tsukushi is a weak state, and it can't suppress the bandits alone, and it is also a last resort, so you have to be considerate!" Yamashita Keigo said without being arrogant or humble.

Lin Jian smiled slightly, although Tsukushi is a small state, he can tolerate pirates building nests at the door of his house, and his weak strength is only one factor. From the pirate trade, the Saga clan was able to obtain some scarce materials cheaply, and even shared the profits with the pirates, and used the pirate power at their doorstep to plunder and fight the hostile feudal states, which were all factors that could not be ignored.

"I see, I can understand the Saga family's distress," Lin Jian said, "I will ask the imperial court to station an elite army on Fukue Island to ensure that Fukue Island does not fall into the hands of pirates, and by the way, I will help the Saga family sweep away the remnants of pirates, I guess the Saga family will not refuse, right?" ”

Giving Lin Jian an eye on, Yamashita Keigo's face was also cloudy.

The Saga clan can barely tolerate pirates who are not in the climate to build a nest at their doorstep, but the garrison directly at the doorstep of the Huaidong Military Division is very different in nature.

Unlike the weak mentality of the Danluo Kingdom, the feudal lords of Kyushu and the Honshu Islands, who were slightly ambitious, all wanted to unify the Fuso Islands.

Although the Saga clan was the weakest among the four feudal kingdoms of Kyushu, the head of the Saga clan still had ambitions to unify the island of Kyushu.

The Goto Islands, including Fukue Island, are so close to the main island of Kyushu that you can see them across the sea, so it's not bad to say that they're on the side of a couch.

But then again, the pirates of Shen Heming's department have been entrenched in Fukue Island for three or four years, and they are only six or seven hundred soldiers, and the Saga family has not been able to recover Fukue Island from the pirates, so how determined can they be to return Fukue Island from the hands of the Huaidong Military Division?

To put it bluntly, I just sent a retainer over to test the details here, so that I could bargain.

"How dare the generals of the king leave their hometowns and stay here?" Yamashita Keigo said unremittingly, "Although the small country of Tsukushi is not a climate, after the envoy returns to the country, he will do everything possible to defend Fukue Island." Please rest assured that Fukue Island will never fall into the hands of the Kou and harm the merchants and the people......"

"It's easy for me to rest assured," Lin Jian said, "There are still many pirates in the Kuga Islands, and the Saga family can destroy one of them, so without saying a word, I will immediately lead the army of the water camp back to Danra Island and return Fukue Island to the Saga family!" ”

"Ugh!" Yamashita Keigo was stunned for a while, not knowing how to respond.

The world always speaks by strength, and without strength, the tongue of the debater is only more suitable for serving women.

"I have abandoned the text and followed the martial arts for a long time, and I can't learn to bend the curve, so I will make it clear to you here if I have something to say," Lin Jian frowned, and said loudly, "Kyushu Island copper is cheap and iron is expensive, and the Central Plains copper is expensive and iron, opening up trade routes, using sea ships to transport and sell, and communicating with each other, is a big benefit." It is beneficial to the Central Plains and the feudal states of Kyushu. I think the Saga family can understand the truth, otherwise they wouldn't secretly trade money and goods with pirates, and they would have communicated with each other. If it weren't for pirates threatening the safety of trade routes, why would the imperial court need me to travel thousands of miles across the sea? The Saga family may have no respect for the imperial court, and I think that Kyushu or the Honshu islands, more than a dozen feudal states, will not learn from the Saga clan, and they are so stingy that they refuse to lend a small island to the imperial court to live temporarily......"

"The envoy is angry," said Keigo Yamashita, "and the head of the Saga family does not dare to bother the royal teacher, so he has no other thoughts. ”

"Hmph," Lin Jian became more and more angry the more he spoke, his hand propped up the table, and he was almost about to stand up, his eyes were like electricity, staring at the king under the mountain, and said coldly, "The Central Plains is thousands of miles wide, is it possible that the Saga clan thinks that the imperial court will be greedy for the island of land in Kyushu?" ”

"How long does the envoy want to borrow the garrison of Fukue Island?" Keigo Yamashita asked.

"Haikou Jingping, the Hajj and trade roads are smooth and worry-free, and the king will naturally not spend military funds and be stationed overseas!" Lin Jian said, "In addition, the rebels of the luxury family used maritime merchants to transport goods and sell them in Fusang, taking advantage of the Central Plains, which was also hated by the imperial court, and if they did not stop, they would not withdraw their troops!" ”

At this time, someone came in and said, "Kugajima sent someone over and asked to meet your lord!" ”

Lin Jian said to Yamashita Keigo: "Yamashita will go back and ask the head of the Saga family to think clearly, so I won't stay guests!" "Motioned to send Keigo Yamashita away, and asked someone to invite someone from Kuga Island in.

Kuga Island and the islands south of Kuga are entrenched by another pirate force led by Chi Kan. Yamashita Keigo heard that Chi Xuan of Kuga Island had sent someone to meet Lin Jian at this time, and he hesitated and speculated in his heart, so he could only say goodbye and leave.
