Food and salary have never been paid out in full, this is one of them. There are many officers under his command, most of whom are from high-ranking families, and they don't really accept his orders. The third is that he knows that many of his officers are connected with pirates, and can even be said to be the middlemen between local gentry and pirates, but there is nothing he can do!
So he seemed a little relieved to leave this position, but he was still a little confused about his future future, and he felt a little depressed for a while. Especially when many officers behind him knew that he was about to be transferred, they commented unscrupulously on the new young marshal, which made him even more upset!
So when the first ship docked, he shouted in a low voice: "That's enough! Don't say any more!"
The officers shut up angrily when they heard Zhou Jianan's order, but they still winked at each other and didn't take him seriously at all.
At this time, the first ship had already docked, but strangely, there was no commander's flag on the ship, so no one came forward. But everyone was surprised. Shouldn't the coach be the first to disembark? Who else is more qualified to land first than the coach?
Then the gangplank was set up on the pier, and a group of people walked onto the deck from the cabin. Everyone looked carefully and couldn't help but be a little surprised! Because these people were all shackled and strung together with ropes, it was very difficult for them to walk onto the pier!
At this time, an officer suddenly said in surprise: "Isn't that the Langchuan Jiao? Why was it caught?"
Then many famous pirates at sea were recognized one by one, and the officers' faces looked a little ugly for a while. Because several of them have had fun with them at the wine table! But now these people are already prisoners. God knows if they have recognized themselves!
Then the ships docked one by one, and more and more people were taken ashore! The first to come ashore were the famous pirate leaders, followed by the hardcore pirates, and then the ordinary gang members. The last ones to come ashore were a group of pale-faced women and children.
Seeing this scene, the officers' faces became even more ugly, but the people on the shore were very happy and cheered wave after wave! They saw that there were almost two thousand people brought ashore, which meant that a large number of pirates were wiped out by the official army, which was enough to make them happy!
These people only had one meal a day on the ship. Naturally, they were exhausted after being hungry for so long, and their disembarkation speed became extremely slow, so the news was enough to spread throughout Quanzhou! Many people came over after hearing the news, crowding the entire dock! It even attracted Qian Zhisong, the prefect of Quanzhou!
Normally speaking, Liu Haojia and the Quanzhou prefect do not belong to each other, so there is no need to welcome him. Moreover, today in the Ming Dynasty, the rules of the noble and the military have been formed. Therefore, a Quanzhou prefect would really have the upper hand against Liu Haojia, the naval chief.
So Magistrate Qian didn't show up here just to watch the fun, but to grab the credit! So many pirates have been wiped out, and as long as he gets a share of them, he might be able to move up one level! So he thought he was sure of Liu Haojia, so naturally he hurriedly appeared on the dock!
However, he relied on his identity and did not approach the dock. Instead, he found a place on higher ground and asked his soldiers to disperse the people watching the excitement, while he watched the dock from a distance.
When he saw the long list of prisoners, his eyes were already gleaming! When I saw those women and children again, my eyes were no longer gleaming, but my mouth was watering! You must know that these women and children are all pirates' families. As long as he sells them, he will get a windfall! You can also carve out a piece of land in the name of resettlement, which is a profit no matter how you calculate it!
While he was thinking about it, another ship docked. However, no one on the ship was escorted off. Instead, the soldiers carried baskets of things onto the dock. Later, soldiers brought a large number of bamboo poles. Then the soldier reached out to grab something in the basket, grabbed something and wrapped it around the bamboo pole. Then he lifted the bamboo pole so that everyone could see clearly. It turned out to be human heads! This even triggered a landslide and tsunami-like cheers from the people!
Magistrate Qian took a rough look and thought there were probably hundreds of them. This made him excitedly get out of the sedan, stand on tiptoe and look forward! I wish I could hold those heads in my arms one by one! There are no heads here, it is clearly a road to blue clouds!
After everyone's heads were hung up on the dock, Liu Haojia's ship officially docked at the dock. Under the protection of many military officers, Liu Haojia finally appeared on stage wearing a luxurious python suit!
Zhou Jianan's pupils shrink when he sees something! It turned out that his idea of having a fight with Liu Haojia completely disappeared! Because Liu Haojia's ability to put on a python suit that transcends his rank shows one thing, he's in the presence of the Holy Family! He cannot compare to this!
Thinking of this, he turned around and said to the officers behind him: "Let's go and meet the Navy Commander!"
At this time, a light voice behind him said: "He is the second son of the Navy Chief! Mr. Zhou, you must not make a mistake!"
Zhou Jianan originally wanted to get angry, but then he thought that he was about to leave, so why bother with such a person! He saw that Liu Haojia was wearing a python robe and that he was a deeply connected person. He thought it would be easy to deal with these idiots who didn't know how to advance or retreat!
Thinking of this, Zhou Jianan sneered and took the lead to move forward. The officer who spoke was ignored, so naturally he felt bored and had no choice but to follow. At this time, Liu Haojia led everyone onto the pier. Seeing Zhou Jianan striding towards him, he hurriedly stepped forward and raised his hands and said, "But in front of Mr. Zhou?"
Zhou Jian'an didn't dare to take advantage of it, so he hurriedly returned the courtesy and said: "I am none other than Zhou Jian'an!"
Liu Haojia said: "It is indeed Mr. Zhou! When I left the capital, Long Live Lord specially reminded me that Mr. Zhou is a rare general, and I should learn from Mr. Zhou more! So it is inevitable that you will return to the capital this time. It’s a meteoric rise to great heights!”
Zhou Jian'an was surprised when he heard this and said: "I'm really ashamed that Your Majesty asked me about it! I'm so ashamed!"
Liu Haojia said: "Master Zhou, what is there to be ashamed of! Your hard work has been seen by Lord Long Live. It can be said that Jane is in the heart of the emperor. Master Zhou will know what I said when he returned to Beijing to report on his duties and met Lord Long Live." It’s not true!”
The two then chatted for a long time before Zhou Jianan introduced the people behind him to Liu Haojia one by one. Then Liu Haojia also wanted to introduce the officers he brought this time to the other party. The coming and going took a long time, and a large number of soldiers were already standing on the dock.
These soldiers have been trained in formation, and they naturally look extraordinary when standing there! Not to mention anything else, just standing there in horizontal rows and vertical formations, each one motionless, looked like an elite soldier. The Quanzhou officer was even more surprised to see them!
