Chapter 702 Li You's Navy

The next day, Li You had just gotten up and was lying on Quan Zhixi's round belly and listening to the voice of the child in his belly. However, at this moment, Yaoyu outside knocked on the door and said, "Your Highness, something happened..."

"What happened..." Li You was slightly shocked, walked out of bed and came outside the room.

At this time, Yaoyu immediately said to Li You: "Thirty miles away from Dengzhou City, a small fishing village was slaughtered, and 124 fishermen were all killed. The scene was terrible..."

Li You frowned: "I know who did it?"

"It should be a pirate, but I don't know which one it is. Young Master Yan is investigating now, and Miss Yan has also started to mobilize her people to find all kinds of clues. I believe that when you arrive at Dengzhou Prefecture, there should be news."

"Okay... Then let's go to Dengzhou Prefecture immediately...!" Li You frowned very tightly, because Li You really didn't expect that such a big thing happened just one day after he came, and the entire fishing village was slaughtered, which was simply outrageous.

Pirates have always existed, and the "ancestor" of Chinese pirates was named Sun En... Around the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, the maritime uprising led by Sun En and Lu Xun, from 398 to 411 AD, lasting 13 years. A large army of nearly one million people moved to the vast areas south of the Yangtze River, traversing the East China Sea and the South China Sea. Such a magnificent maritime armed uprising is rare in the history of Chinese pirates.

There were pirates in each dynasty later, but the existence of pirates will be greatly different due to different historical periods, due to differences in shipbuilding technology, and the influence of specific environments.

Some pirate gangs are even so powerful that even the court can't do anything to them.

Sun En's pirate group killed all dissidents. From a certain perspective, these pirates were more like a combination of rebels and pirates. In addition, many people were dissatisfied with the incompetence of the court during the war, so the number of pirate army he led was nearly one million when it was prosperous.

However, due to the strong strength of the pirates in the Tang Dynasty, many of them were merchants and pirates. There were few cases of pirates gathering in the local area to control the country.

However, guerrilla robbery and killing still happens frequently.

"Taiping Guangji" records that "Warrior Chen Zhenzhou, a native of Zhenzhou, had a family of tens of thousands of gold and was a great man in the sea. He had hundreds of rhinos, elephants, tortoiseshells, and warehouses. First, the Western Regions' ships drifted, so there were some."

"The Biography of the Eastern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty" records that "Ruofang often robbed two or three Persian ships every year, took goods for his own goods, and plundered people as slaves."

Li You Dengzhou is a must-pass place to go to sea, and Dengzhou was not strong in the past, so it was a place where many pirates like to land and kill. The suffering of pirates in Dengzhou has been around for a long time, but Li You did not expect that pirates were so arrogant and gave him a warning on the first day he came.

It would be fake to say that Li You was not angry, and Li You was almost furious at this time.

Soon, Li You arrived at the Dengzhou Prefecture Office. Xue Rengui was already waiting in front of the prefecture office. Seeing Li You, Xue Rengui immediately apologized: "Your Highness, the last general apologizes for the crime, which led to the fishing village tragedy. If the last general could send troops to garrison last night, there shouldn't be such a tragedy."

Seeing Xue Rengui bowing to apologize, Li You directly helped Xue Rengui up and said, "Brother-in-law, what's the matter with you... We came the first genius, and the settlement was not completed yet, and these pirates came to attack and massacre. This was deliberately provoking me. Brother-in-law, don't blame yourself. I still need to use you. At that time, my brother-in-law still needs to kill all sides."

"No..." Xue Rengui's eyes also showed a ruthless look.

Afterwards, Li You and Xue Rengui walked into the government office together and came to the back hall of the government office. Li You saw something Yin Cheng and Yan Ziqian were watching together. When he found that Li You had walked in, Yin Cheng and Yan Ziqian also stood up immediately.

"No need... Let's talk about what happened, I need to know who is giving me a warning, was it intentional or intentional...?"

Li You suppressed this anger.

Yin Cheng hurriedly said, "It's still not clear at all, but now it's been found that the pirates were slaughtered by that pirate...!"

"Say...!" Li You asked lightly.

"No... This news was given by Miss Yan. Their brothers found it. Last night, the pirates of the Shrimp Thieves returned to their island with abundant spoils. There were 300 pirates of the Shrimp Thieves. The leader was called Du Blind, and his eyes were not very good, but he was a bit vicious. Later, he was called Du Blind. They used to go to Silla to rob Silla women and then sell them.

But I don’t know what happened recently, but I actually got on our Dengzhou territory...!"

"I don't care what his situation is, I just want to ask, what are the strength of the sailors in Dengzhou now?"

Li You's problem directly made Yin Cheng, who was on the side, look embarrassed: "Brother... Let me tell you this, we can still defend on land, but when we get to the sea, the sailors in Dengzhou have no strength to fight at all.

Mainly our ship is really bad, so...!"

Before he finished speaking, Li You waved his hand and said: "I understand, I understand... The court does not attach importance to the development of sailors, it has nothing to do with you, but we must avenge this revenge.

If this revenge is not avenged, those pirates will really think we are pinched by soft persimmons...!"

"But we really have no soldiers to adjust...!" Yin Cheng frowned a little apologetically.

Li You snorted coldly: "Those robbers still underestimate me too much. Since I can come to Dengzhou, I will not be unprepared. Indeed, we do not have sailors in Dengzhou, but I still have a Maritime Warrior in Bianzhou. At this time, the Maritime Warriors in the Maritime Warriors had reached 3,000. This time, I will dispatch two thousand people to come.

By the way, the ten newly developed sea ships of this king will be officially launched. This time I will also test the power of my sailor army. Oh... not many, they will soon come to the sea, so they can't call sailors anymore.

They are called Navy and are given the title of Kunpeng...!"

Li You had already prepared his own navy very early. The Maritime Warehouse Department in Bianzhou was established early for the current emergencies. Almost all of this Maritime Warehouse Department are Li You's own people.

The Maritime Warehouse, which originally had a thousand people, was secretly integrated into a team of three thousand people, of which two thousand were prepared for Li You's Navy, and Li Jiuzhe's shipyard had already started to produce large-scale sea ships.

But Li You didn't expect that these would be used directly the next day, but fortunately, Li You was prepared early, otherwise he would be really worried by these islands.

"Bastard..." Li You cursed heavily, and immediately ordered the Kunpeng Army to be transferred into Dengzhou. Then he ordered again that ten ships in the shipyard would go into sea for testing immediately and prepare to enter the Kunpeng Army to serve.

Li You has already begun to prepare in full swing to fight back against the pirates.
