The Tang army used the military formation model to advance.
In the end, the result didn't matter anymore. If the Tang army was dispatched, these pirates would have nothing to do with it.
By the time Xu Yunyan landed on the island, these Tang troops had already killed all the pirates who dared to resist, waiting for King Xu Yunyan to arrive.
The first good news after Xu Yunyan landed on the island was that Jiang Fangguo came to report.
"The general is getting rich, really getting rich this time."
Seeing Jiang Fangguo arranging to clean up the battlefield and constantly shouting about getting rich, Xu Yunyan was also very curious.
"Get rich? What's going on? Did you find out something?"
Xu Yunyan said this, and Jiang Fangguo watched him gesture here.
"A large amount of gold and silver treasures were found in a hidden cave on the mountain."
"A large amount of...gold and silver treasures?"
This solved Xu Yunyan's urgent need. They built warships, but now they were short of gold and silver. They eliminated the pirates here and found gold and silver. This gave Xu Yunyan the feeling of killing monsters, equipment and gold coins.
It seems that I need to go to sea frequently.
As Xu Yunyan and the others dealt with the pirates in front of them, one of those Arab bearded men was caught in the act, and the bearded men were escorted in front of Xu Yunyan.
Xu Yunyan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the prisoner who was once again tied up like a rice dumpling.
The Tang Army under his command was very honest in doing things, catching the enemy and always giving him an unexpected appearance.
Just when Xu Yunyan was muttering here, Jiang Fangguo said it in front of him.
"General, we can't hear clearly what they are talking about, and they are pirates. What arrangements should we make?"
When Jiang Fangguo said this, Xu Yunyan looked a little confused at the bearded man in front of him.
He didn't know the Arabic language, so he could only say, "Take them back and let the locals deal with them. If they are really vicious gangsters, the locals should know them, and it would be good for us to let them deal with them." ."
When Xu Yunyan said this, Jiang Fangguo nodded hurriedly.
"It's your order, take them back now, but I don't know if we can still eat rice similar to Gongmi this time."
Xu Yunyan smiled when he heard Jiang Fangguo's question.
"Captain Jiang, is this all you pursue? Needless to say, eating rice similar to tribute rice, even if you want to live here for the rest of your life, I guess these people will agree."
Xu Yunyan's half-joking words made Jiang Fangguo stunned, but Jiang Fangguo was still here licking his face.
"General, what are you talking about? Even if they let me live here for the rest of my life, I would not live here. I would still be comfortable fighting on the battlefield with the general."
After Jiang Fangguo said this, Xu Yunyan shook his head. "Don't always think that following me is a good thing. You should also develop on your own. Maybe you will get higher merits after going to the battlefield by yourself than following me."
Xu Yunyan did not lie, but advised Jiang Fangguo here very seriously.
Jiang Fangguo shook his head after hearing Xu Yunyan's persuasion.
"It's better to follow the general and have meat to eat."
After these inexplicable words, Xu Yunyan ignored him and led the army to escort the prisoners and the captured money aboard the ship.
Seeing the boxes of money being loaded onto the ship, Xu Yunyan's mouth was filled with joy.
"Now that we have these treasures, let's build a few more warships. Preliminary speculation is that it is no problem to build four warships with this money. If we save a little more and spend more, we can build five warships.
At that time, all the navy officers and soldiers of the Tang Army would be able to gallop across the sea, and no one would stay at home waiting to be rotated after they return. "
In this way, Xu Yunyan led his team back to the village where they traded with Annan Kingdom. After returning, the village watched the Tang army wipe out the pirates in a battle, and also captured the culprits, the Arab bearded group. They came over. Although the bearded Arabs were tied up like rice dumplings and blocked with unknown rags, after seeing the Annan people, these bearded people were frightened. They kowtowed and kowtowed. I'm begging for help, but my mouth is blocked and I can't speak normal words at all.
Seeing the strange movements of these bearded men, the old man from Annan started to cry.
"Oh heaven, earth, you have finally opened your eyes, and let this gangster who has done so much evil in our land fall into our hands again."
After the old man Annan finished speaking, he excitedly came to Xu Yunyan and performed a very high standard of etiquette towards Xu Yunyan. He put one hand on his heart and half-bent his body, which shocked Xu Yunyan.
Although he doesn't know what this etiquette means in the Annan region? However, the old man in front of me still knows a little bit of Chinese, and he is explaining to Xu Yunyan in poor Chinese.
"General, you are kind, heroic, and invincible. You easily solved these pirates and will gain our Annan's most noble friendship. As long as the general wants to get it, we can give it to the general."
Seeing that the old man in front of him was so enthusiastic and ready to help him, Xu Yunyan waved his hand generously.
"These prisoners will be left to your disposal. We don't want much, we just want food."
After talking about food, Xu Yunyan suddenly reacted.
Li Chengqian still has another crisis.
Crisis in history.
That is, next year, a drought will occur in the north, but I don't know if it will happen again. If it does happen, food production will decrease and people will starve everywhere. At that time, food prices in Chang'an City will rise rapidly.
As the prince, Li Chengqian had the right to participate in some things. Li Shimin also asked Li Chengqian to participate in disaster relief matters and gave him a granary.
It's just that Li Chengqian almost caused unnecessary trouble in this granary.
Now that I have the opportunity to purchase a large amount of grain in Annan, should I also store a batch for him and transport it to Chang'an City for secret storage?
The best place in Chang'an City to store food for Li Chengqian is the farm.
As long as we draw an area in the farm and put this food in, we can definitely solve the urgent need.
What's more, I will continue to deliver canned fish and meat to him. Isn't it just right to transport food together with the canned food?
After thinking clearly about the troubles Li Chengqian might face, Xu Yunyan made appropriate arrangements.
Waiting for the elders of the village to raise food and grass for themselves, Xu Yunyan did not take their food and grass for nothing, but exchanged with them the fish and money they could offer.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Although it is at the seaside, Annan people have never seen such a lucky fish. What's more, this lucky fish is covered in leather and can be used to make armor. The fish oil can be refined into lamp oil for lighting. As for the meat? It tastes similar to beef, which is a rare delicacy for them.
After Xu Yunyan braved the wind and waves again and returned to Qiongzhou, there were still three Tang Dynasty fish on the boat, which could be explained to Chang'an.
In addition to the Tang Fuyu, there is also a large amount of food that can be transported to Chang'an, which Xu Yunyan did not expect.
The grain output of any village in Annan is close to that of a Datang county. This is a geographical advantage. No wonder Annan has no worries about food and drink.
A pirate could get such money just by wandering around Annan, but in the end he got an advantage over Xu Yunyan.
With a lot of money, the construction of battleships was once again on track. Food transportation has also become a top priority.
Xu Yunyan wrote a letter to Li Chengqian while the grain was being transported, reminding Li Chengqian of the difficulties he might face. Of course, this was just a guess on his part. If he encountered it, he could use this batch of grain.
If you can't come across it, just stay on the farm and be prepared for emergencies.
After making this arrangement in advance, Xu Yunyan stood alone in front of the window and looked to the north.
"I hope there won't be any major changes in the Northland."
It's just that Xu Yunyan's thoughts are good, but God just doesn't like it.
In the Northland, winter has now entered, and it won’t be long before the New Year.
In this cold winter, not a single snowflake fell in the entire vicinity of Chang'an. The old farmers who had been farming for decades looked at the sunny sky. Although it was not that cold, they were still worried here.
"This snow has not fallen at all. How will the crops grow next year? It has always been said that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest, but without this snow, will there still be a good harvest next year? Don't let me wait for a year of hard work. I can’t get enough to eat!”
