Chapter 151
Then a picture like this appeared on the sea, three pirate ships were fleeing at the front, the middle pirate ship added artificial oars in addition to the sails, and ran desperately, and Xia Jing was chasing at the end of three ships.

The pirate looked back at the enemy who was chasing after them, and there was another pirate ship following them, and said solemnly: "Brother, this is not going to work. When we escape back to the station, our station will be exposed. Let them Breaking into our garrison will be even harder to deal with."

Beibi heard this, and pointed to the sea area in front of him, "Where can we go if we don't flee back to the station? Their sailboats are faster than ours on the sea, and they can't escape them. Where else can we go if we don't go to the island?" ?”

In fact, he was scolding his mother in his heart, why did he provoke these evil stars!It seems that they have a deep hatred with him, biting him tightly, this is the rhythm of immortality!

At present, we don't know how many troops are on board the opponent's ship. Since they can't be dealt with at sea, we have to go to the island first, maybe they can be wiped out after going to the island.

Ye Fei asked the boat on his side to follow closely, don't fall behind, they are not familiar with this sea area, only by following the boat in front closely can they not run aground.

Seeing that the pirate ship in front led them to turn left and right, shuttling between the islands and reefs, it took them a long time to land on a big island.

Their boat did not follow immediately, but stopped on the sea some distance from the island.

"Princess, there is a fort on the island ahead. If we forcefully attack the island, there will be heavy casualties. What should we do now?"

Ye Fei never expected that a small island occupied by pirates would actually be equipped with forts, and those who didn't know thought they were here to attack the city.

Xia Jing stood by the side of the boat and looked far into the distance. The island occupies a large area. There are mountains and trees on the island, which should have fresh water resources. Looking from their side, except for the fort and the wharf, other places They are all steep mountain walls. Under the erosion of sea water all year round, there are many strange rocks. It is almost impossible to climb to the island on these cliffs.

"Turn around the island first, let's take a look at the terrain."

Ye Fei took the order to make arrangements, and the ship turned around and sailed around the island.

Seeing this scene, the pirates on the island were puzzled and asked, "Is this the way to leave?"

At first they bit them like crazy, they thought the other party was trying to kill them, but now it seems that they misunderstood them?
Beibi put away the binoculars and snorted coldly: "How is that possible? If I guessed right, they should be sailing around the island and want to find a weak place to land."

With that said, he turned his head and told his subordinates, "You all, be alert to me, don't let them take advantage of the loopholes, and send people to guard the other piers, if you find that they want to forcefully land on the island, shoot me, Better to sink all three of their ships!"

After arranging the defense, Bei Bi went back to his residence on the island and gathered his men to discuss the strategy against the enemy. Now that he knew that the enemy's artillery had a long range and great power, it was impossible to fight head-on with them.

If you want to retreat from the enemy, you can only think of other ways!
As a result, after discussing and discussing, they could only send people from their opposite side to seek help from other pirate forces while the enemy was circling the island.

"Brother, the other forces are far away from us, and it will take ten and a half months to ask them for help even if we arrive at the fastest speed. I'm afraid those outside will not be able to wait so long."

At this time, it was Beibi’s right-hand man Gu San who was speaking. He had been a pirate in this sea area for ten years. Too much.

Beibi's brows almost knit into knots, worried to death, "If you don't seek foreign aid, then what do you say?"

Gu San: "."

Xia Jing led the fleet to complete the circle around the island in half a day, and in the end, several docks where they could land were heavily guarded.

"If it doesn't work, just use artillery to open a way!"

Originally, the number of shells brought this time was not very sufficient. I thought I could save as much as I could. Now that I have gone around and roughly understood the situation of landing on the island, I will directly come to the fore.

Thinking about saving cannonballs, the main reason is that if the cannonballs run out, they will encounter other pirates on the way back. If there are no cannonballs, how can they scare off the pirates.

After hearing what she said, Ye Fei reminded: "It's a bit risky, if there is another accident in the next time, it will be a matter of life and death."

Xia Jing thought of the weapons in the space, and smiled silently: "That's it, let everyone eat, and prepare to attack the island after eating!"

Their artillery has a long range, after all, they have an advantage.

"Boom, boom!"

The pirates on the island did not expect that these people did not speak martial arts and directly bombed their forts.

The sudden sound of cannons here frightened the pirates defending in other directions.

What's happening here?
For a moment, all the pirates who heard the bombardment were a little dumbfounded, and turned to the dock that was bombarded. Could it be that the fort on their side has become a decoration?
Why didn't you hear the gunfire on your side?
They want to go to help but are afraid that the enemy will take advantage of the pier they are defending, so they don't want to leave or stay.

Ye Fei commanded two rounds of unlimited bombardment, so that the enemy had no chance to reload and fire, and cover the sea ship to dock.

Under the cover of firepower, as soon as the ship docked, the elite soldiers on board jumped ashore.

It was the first time I took a sea boat for a few days. It was inevitable that some people's legs were weak just after jumping ashore, and walking was a bit awkward for a while, but fortunately, everyone recovered quickly.

The soldiers rushed to the island, and first fought with the pirates guarding the fort, some of them took control of the fort, and other soldiers rushed to the pirate's residence.

The pirates did not expect so many generals to be hidden in the three ships. Seeing them rushing ashore, some of them were desperate. They took up their swords and wanted to fight the soldiers to the death. While fleeing, some abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Beibi found that the soldiers were about to rush ashore, and immediately let him take his important property and confidants and ran to another pier.

A ship was parked at this pier, and he wanted to escape on this pirate ship when the three enemy ships were all gathered at the other pier.

When the enemy found out that they had run away, they had to go around even if they wanted to pursue them, and when their sea boats circled most of the island, he had already escaped without a trace.

This is the retreat he thought of after going to the island.

For this way of retreat, he could let the three ships go around the island, but he couldn't shrink himself.

The soldiers on Xia Jing's side discovered that the pirate leader was about to escape, but they were dragged back by the pirates, and they had no choice but to watch them set sail and escape.

One thousand against four hundred pirates, the situation is one-sided.By the time all the pirates were put under surveillance, it was getting late.

Regardless of exhaustion and excitement, the soldiers began to search the island on a large scale, collecting all the wealth, food and materials accumulated by the pirates.

"Princess, although the pirate leader ran away with his confidants, the treasure he took away was limited after all. Would you like to go and see the treasure we found?" Ye Fei said excitedly.

While Hongmei was preparing the meal, Xia Jing sat at the table and shook her head: "Tonight, I won't go to check. Thank you for clearing out all the supplies tonight, and tomorrow morning they will be loaded onto the boat and left here as soon as possible."

In order to leave this pirate island as soon as possible, the soldiers can only work hard, and let them take turns to rest when they board the ship tomorrow.

The most important thing is that she is really afraid that the pirates will bring foreign aid, and it will be over if they block them on this island.
-
The next day, six ships sailed out of the pirate island.

Sitting on the deck, facing the morning sea breeze, Xia Jing took Hongmei and handed over the list of supplies.

This list of supplies seized from Pirate Island is very important.

Not to mention real gold and silver, but the materials they robbed are amazing.

It can be said that they have three ships of their own, plus the three sea ships that robbed the pirates, a total of six sea ships are full of supplies.

"Sure enough, robbery is a shortcut to getting rich! No wonder these pirates like robbery."

Xia Jing tapped the list in her hand, and asked Hongmei: "Have you read the list that Ye Fei sent over?"

Hongmei shook her head: "The servants dare not overstep."

Xia Jing narrowed her eyes with a smile, and her mood was high, "Do you know how much supplies there are in this pirate island alone? All kinds of local products, spices, grains, and ironware in Nanyang alone accounted for % of the total. ship, and a relatively small amount of Xiyi Fanhuo was also loaded on a ship.”

They didn't want some daily necessities and second-hand supplies on the pirate island, because the six ships couldn't fit them.

Once the goods change hands in Lingnan, she can earn at least a million taels.

One million taels of silver was the tax revenue of the entire Yu Dynasty in the previous year. One can imagine how much this huge sum of money can do.

Hongmei's smile kept hanging on her face, "We have gained a lot this time, and we will exchange the supplies for money when we go back. What is the princess going to do with it?"

Xia Jing thought about it for a while and said: "There are many uses. Expanding the army, replacing ordnance, improving people's livelihood, building roads and bridges, and spending money everywhere. This amount of money is not enough at all. I think it is too little."

Hearing this, Hongmei twitched the corners of her mouth, thinking back then, Wangfei, you competed with Butler Yan for ten thousand or twenty thousand silver, did you forget?
A million taels of silver is too little?
What do you want us penniless girls to do?
It took nearly four days to reach Fucheng Wharf because the cabin was full of goods.

Of course, this period of time is the time when the Nanyang fleet returns. As soon as Xia Jing’s ship docked, merchants who had been waiting for a long time flocked to the shore. Be the first to ask about the price of the goods and the quantity.

Anyway, as long as the goods are in short supply, the price is right, and the quantity is sufficient, the managers of the various commercial firms will keep an eye on them, and they will only let go when the deal is made.

In this way, on the contrary, it made Ye Fei feel like he was facing an enemy, but he couldn't escape. It was really embarrassing for him.

He doesn't know the specific prices of these imported products, so how can he negotiate with the merchants?

Fortunately, he had the experience of selling real estate once, and he quickly heard some information from these people's chatter.

Finally, after figuring out the prices of these materials, I began to negotiate with these people.

Hongmei was dumbfounded. She had stayed in the Central Plains for a long time, and she had never seen such a bustling port.

Judging from the prosperity of the wharf alone, it is impossible to see the successive years of disasters and wars in the Dayu Dynasty.

The prosperity of this moment actually gave people the illusion that the prosperity of the Dayu Dynasty was still there.

This port terminal is bustling for a while when the fleet returns at this time of the year. When all the fleet returns, the port terminal here will be silent again, waiting for a comeback next year.

Ye Fei took care of the cargo of the fleet, and Xia Jing took Hongmei back to the palace as soon as she landed.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he was discovered by Zeng Yan.

Zeng Yan ran up to Xia Jing, bowed to her and said, "I have seen the princess."

Xia Jing saw that he was sweating profusely, and said with a smile: "It's such a hot day, what are you doing waiting at the gate? But the prince has a distinguished guest?"

Zeng Yan smiled helplessly: "The little one is waiting for the princess."

Under Xia Jing's suspicious eyes, he continued: "My lord has found that you have not been in the mansion for the past few days, and he has been thinking about you all the time. Why don't he let the young man pay attention to the gate of the mansion all the time, and report to him immediately if he sees you coming back. .”

Xia Jing raised her eyebrows slightly, and didn't take his words, but nodded to him, and said with a tired face: "I haven't slept well for a few days, I'll go back to catch up on sleep, if I have anything to say, go push back."

Zeng Yan originally wanted her to see the prince first, but he also noticed her tired face, knowing that she hadn't had a good rest, and he couldn't say more, so he shut up in time.

Thinking that later, he would go to the study to report to the prince and explain the situation of the princess.

The sky is big, the sleep is the biggest.

Xia Jing returned to the palace, and didn't have the energy to pay attention to the other rooms in the palace. Instead, she took a hot bath and fell asleep after returning to her room.

Drifting at sea for the past few days, Xia Jing couldn't get her feet on the ground. Xia Jing kept worrying about her heart. She didn't sleep well for a few days, and her mental state was particularly poor.

The only way to regain energy is to rely on supplementary sleep.
-
study.

After listening to Zeng Yan's report, King Qian had doubts in his eyes, "What has the princess been up to these days?"

Once I go, I will not be home for a few days.

Before Zeng Yan had time to ask the princess, Xia Jing left. Until now, he didn't know where the princess went.

So he said: "Before I had time to ask this question, the princess went back to the backyard. However, when the princess passed by the little one, the little one smelled a salty smell on the princess."

This answer surprised King Qian, "Salty smell?"

"Yes!" Zeng Yan nodded, "I suspect that the princess may have gone to sea in the past few days."

"Going to sea? What does she want to do when she goes to sea alone?" King Qian was afraid of the green grassland above his head. Now that he heard Zeng Yan's words, his doubts disappeared a little.

He told Zeng Yan: "Send someone to investigate now, did the princess go to sea these few days or where did she go?"

"Yes, little one, I'll send someone to check it out."

Zeng Yan replied that the salty smell on the princess's body was the clue, and it shouldn't be difficult to investigate this matter.

Xia Jing didn't try to hide that she went to sea, and came back directly from Fucheng Wharf. Zeng Yan wanted to check, but it was actually very easy to find out.

Don't do bad things on weekdays, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.Xia Jing actually went out to sea to destroy a group of pirates, so she was not worried about King Qian's attack at all.

She didn't forget that King Qian had written a letter of guarantee back then, and it was agreed that King Qian would not interfere with what she would do when she went out in the future.
