Chapter 920: Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

At that time, the sea prohibition in Guangdong was not strict. Fishermen could still go fishing as long as they found a remote coastline. Therefore, there were many fishing villages within five miles of the coast. They often went ashore and looted. In one year, he grabbed the township from the fishing village all the way, and once almost entered the county seat.

After stealing a lot of gold and silver treasures, these pirates wanted to go back to their hometown. After all, there were relatives and friends at home. They brought the treasures back to Dongying, but the treasures were quickly squandered. Some able-bodied refugees went out to sea again, thinking that the navy in Guangdong was weak, they had also been here for three or four years, and there were some acquaintances, so they came here on purpose.

In addition to the Chinese and Westerners, most of the pirates on the southeast coast were the Eastern and Korean people, who knew how to find their compatriots.

Because they brought a lot of people this time, and they have fifty-eight people. From past experience, fifty-eight people can form a team, and they can live a good life by themselves, so Unwilling to depend on powerful fellow pirates, lest they be exploited by them.

So, it was only natural that they had to hide the truth and were pushed out to be stones for asking the way.

If these fifty-eight people succeed this time, it means that there are still many loopholes in the coastline of Guangdong, and they have a great possibility to do something. If they fail, they will continue to wait and see. You can continue to wait for others to test.

Although they licked blood from the edge of a knife, no one who can survive until now will risk their lives. Except for those small pirates who have no food reserves, these big pirates will not take risks easily.

Qi Haoran asked curiously: "Do you want to change the dynasty in your country? Has it been too long? It's been eight years and it hasn't settled down yet?"

"My lord, they haven't changed the dynasty, it's just that their country's generals and the emperor are fighting for power, so the domestic turmoil is unbearable." He has dealt with the pirates of Dongying the most, and over time has learned some of their domestic situation, he said: "Now their royal family does not They were willing to lose their power, took their people as chess pieces, and fought against the generals who were in power, and the country was in chaos. I heard that many of their refugees fled to the sea."

Qi Haoran snorted coldly, "Fleeing to the sea, then fleeing to the sea, what are you doing here in our Daqi? Since you are here, you can honestly go fishing, but you want to trap the people of Qi in injustice. They themselves have plenty of food and clothing. The common people of Qi were ruined, and they killed the owner's family without visiting other people's houses, looting the owner's property, taking out the old pirates, interrogating their pirates' dens, drawing sea charts, and dragging the others to the beach to kill Now, I want to see, who would dare to try again."

"Any pirates who have defected recently?"

"Yes," Zhou Zhou said, "but less, they are all my Daqi people, generals, and there are two relatively large groups of pirates in the sea that are composed of my Daqi people. The leader used to be a maritime businessman, and he was forced to helpless. The pirates who just started, although they have robbed people over the years, but never killed people, why not send people to recruit them?"

"How do they compare to those Eastern Ying people?"

"It can't be compared. The largest group has only more than 100 people, but the largest group of pirates in Dongying has more than 1,000 people, and they have connections with other pirates from Dongying. Sometimes when we go out to sea to suppress bandits, they will We are connected to each other and unite to deal with us, there are 3,000 people, and this is not even the Dongying sea pirates in the Fuzhou area."

"Do they still have contact with the Dongying sea bandits in Fuzhou?"

"Yes, not only the Fuzhou area, but also the Beizhili area further north."

Qi Haoran slapped the wall angrily, "Does this coastline belong to me, Da Qi, or these pirates?"

Zhou Zhou bowed his head.

"If I issue an order to recruit security again, it will be said that the decree that surrenders myself and is dealt with lightly will be canceled after a year, and no matter where the pirates are, the court will treat them equally." Qi Haoran sneered, "Recruiting security? Grandpa is recruiting security that was posted on his own initiative, not the pirates. Ba went up to An, if they don't come back, they will be suppressed when they suppress the bandits in the future."

Zhou Zhou saw that he was angry and did not dare to intercede for those people. In fact, they had cooperated with the local pirates several times to jointly fight against the increasingly powerful pirates of Dongying.

On the beach the next day, at the place where the pirates were executed before, the executioner of the government office cut off forty-eight pirates in a row. Among the many old pirates, Qi Haoran was only willing to keep ten.

Those who were willing to confess, he gave them a pleasure, but those who were unwilling to confess, he made their lives better than death, and the prisoners of the Navy Yamen would have less punishment, so he went to the prison of the government to borrow people.

These pirates were just ordinary fishermen. They have lived to this day with their ruthlessness and contempt. They have never received professional training. Still confessed one by one, but it was only one night before and after.

Qi Haoran got the drawn chart and confession, and he had them dragged to the beach to be chopped up. He knew that the pirates at sea were watching. Having people put up wooden pillars on the warship and hang the corpses on it is a warning to those pirates who are just about to move.

Pedro sighed after receiving the report from his subordinates: "Our target is the passing sea merchants. The fishermen in Daqi are very poor, so there is no need for us to be the enemy of Qi Haoran."

"Then Victor and the others' grudges are over?" Raul exclaimed in disapproval.

Pedro was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "There is an old saying in Daqi, and it will last longer in Japan."

On another island, Hero Fujita smashed a vase and said angrily: "He is a provocation to us, and hanging on the wooden posts are the bodies of our compatriots!"

"General, he is warning all pirates, not just us." Saburo Ono whispered.

Hideo Fujita calmed down slightly and asked, "Have our people gone ashore? Nantian and the others are a bit stupid, but they are brave and powerful, and they have sharp blades in their hands. How could they be caught by the navy? Pirates, have they forgotten the instinct to escape?"

Ono Saburo was very ashamed, "General, Daqi is now very strict in control. The fishermen rushing to the sea are all based in villages or families. If there are unfamiliar faces, even if they don't arrest people on the spot, they will soon notify the navy to investigate. , Our people tried several times, and every time they were interrogated as soon as they entered the crowd, if they hadn't walked fast, they would have been caught."

They want to go ashore to inquire about news, they have to get in touch with people, and they will be discovered when they contact them, and they don’t know what the navy yamen said to them. Whenever they encounter a new face, they either detain the person or notify the nearest person. The navy came to investigate, so that they couldn't even enter the city gate, so naturally they couldn't find any news.

And the most terrifying thing is the unknown. It is precisely because they do not know what happened to the Guangdong Navy that they are afraid and dare not act rashly.

Before the most sophisticated weapons and the bravest Westerners all lost to the Guangdong sailors, this time they were caught without even a single splash of the stones thrown in. It was really frightening.

Hero Fujita gritted his teeth, "Continue to wait, we have enough food in stock, but others don't have much food in their hands. Hunger can destroy all fears, and some people will take the initiative to stand up and continue to ask for directions."
