The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 1035

[Chapter 1035 The attacked port]

After reading this letter, Fang Xiu smiled slightly and replied with great disdain: “Just recruit as many troops as you can. I will accept them all according to the order!”

Xiu’er next to him said again. A piece of pastry was placed near Fang Xiu’s mouth.

After Fang Xiu ate, suddenly there was a loud noise outside.

Fang Xiu frowned, quite dissatisfied.

How long has this been, and is there still someone looking for trouble?

Fang Xiu raised his eyes and saw, as expected, someone was coming to the mansion.

But the person who came was something Fang Xiu didn’t expect.

It turned out to be the prefect of Jinzhou.

Hadn’t he already promised him not to let his nephew go to the battlefield, so why did he come to see him?

The magistrate of Jinzhou hurried to Fang Xiu, bowed respectfully, and then said: “Dong An Guo, something big happened!”

Fang Xiu looked at him, frowned, and asked: “What? “What happened?”

The governor of Jinzhou looked anxious. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions, and then slowly said: “My lord, those pirates are lawless and took advantage of the night to attack the port of Jinzhou.” , the whole army of Jinzhou Guards was annihilated! “

The whole army was annihilated! ?

Fang Xiu was also shocked. He slapped the table and stood up, asking, “What’s going on specifically?”

The prefect of Jinzhou took a breath and said, “Xiaoguan, I don’t know very much about the sea. The bandits rushed to the Jinzhou port as if they had been given blood, and then fought with the soldiers of the Jinzhou Guard.

Then, the entire Jinzhou Guard was annihilated, and a huge ship was captured. The two ships have not yet been completed and are still parked at the port.

The pirates left some people at the port, and the rest should have withdrawn by now. “

This is not only lawless, it is simply lawless!”

If you don’t punish them, who do you really think you are?

Fang Xiu frowned, with a thoughtful look on his face.

In fact, at the beginning, he just wanted to use these pirates to practice his skills and give the new army’s naval commanders some experience.

But it’s different now.

They were so brave that they dared to attack Jinzhou Port. If they still let it go, they would be in serious trouble in the future!

Thinking of this, Fang Xiu had already made a decision. He nodded and said expressionlessly: “I know about this matter. You can go down.”

“This”

Jinzhou magistrate was startled when he heard this. For a moment, he stood there, hesitating.

Seeing the indifferent look on An Guogong’s face, it was obvious that he didn’t take this matter to heart!

Jinzhou Port is the lifeblood of Jinzhou Prefecture, and Jinzhou Guards Station is Jinzhou Prefecture’s biggest support. Now these things are gone.

What should I do?

Moreover, the reckless actions of those pirates not only caused this little loss, but the most important thing was the people’s hearts.

A few small pirates dared to attack Jinzhou Port. If word spread, what would the people think?

Don’t you think that the imperial court is a bunch of losers and can’t do anything?

If this continues, big problems will arise!

Although An Guogong is a big shot, the small Jinzhou Prefecture is really nothing to him.

But Mr. An Guo, you are still here after all!

The prefect of Jinzhou looked at Fang Xiu and stood motionless, showing no intention of leaving.

When Fang Xiu saw this, he raised his eyes and glanced at him, his voice became a little cold: “What? You didn’t hear what I just said?”

The powerful aura suppressed the Jinzhou prefect and he was speechless.

He still wanted to stand here, and even wanted to scold Duke An: As a dignified Duke, the beloved of thousands of Chu people, now that pirates are rampant, are you just lying there, eating cakes?

How is this appropriate?

However, after all, I still dare not say it.

He just raised his hands in a salute and replied in a cold tone: “I’m resigning.” Fang

Xiu glanced at his back and didn’t say anything.

For such a person, his emotions, anger, sorrows, and joys are all expressed on his face, and there is nothing wrong with that.

It’s better than those guys from the Sixth Department, who hide their swords behind their smiles, who sound like a prince on the surface, and who call them kindly, but who knows when they will stab you in the back, so who can bear it?

It’s just that

the problem of pirates is indeed a trouble.

You must know that the pirates in Jinzhou Prefecture have always been very powerful. Even the Jinzhou Guards Station built by the British government can only barely protect merchants from being invaded by these pirates.

But now, due to problems in Nanyang, the Shenji Battalion near the Southeast Road has to go out to destroy the pirates from time to time.

Unable to stay any longer, the pirates had no choice but to head north to the vicinity of Jinzhou Port.

There are more and more pirates, and the Jinzhou Guard Station, which was originally adequate, is not enough. Sooner or later, something will happen.

However, Fang Xiu estimated that the Jinzhou Guard Station could be withdrawn when the First Battalion of the Navy was almost fully trained.

But he never expected that this accident would come so quickly.

In just a few days, the pirates were already bold enough to attack the port.

If they were given a little more time, they wouldn’t be able to go to heaven!

But relying solely on the power of Jinzhou Prefecture, it is impossible to deal with these pirates.

Fang Xiu frowned, and after a moment, he finally made the decision to transfer to the Shenji Camp!

So, I picked up the pen again and started writing the letter again.

On the other side, the prefect of Jinzhou left the mansion with a very ugly expression on his face, even uglier than before he entered.

When Zhou Chen, who was waiting outside, saw this scene, his heart instantly went cold.

Could it be that Duke An Guo reprimanded the prefect?

It’s not impossible.

After all, these pirates have dared to attack the Jinzhou Guards Station.

It must mean that in the past, the prefect did not have a deterrent effect on the pirates. This is the prefect’s responsibility.

No matter what, there is nothing wrong with reporting this matter to An Guogong.

Your Majesty, if you want to destroy a group of pirates, wouldn’t it be easy?

But if this matter is left to the prefect of Jinzhou, it will be extremely difficult.

You must know that the Jinzhou Guards Station is almost the entire strength of Jinzhou Prefecture.

The remaining city defense troops were of no use at all.

Even with the addition of garrison troops, it is definitely not as good as the Jinzhou Guards Station.

What’s more, the troop garrison has now been cancelled.

How could it be possible to defeat the pirates who could not even defeat the Jinzhou Guards?

Therefore, in the final analysis, they only had the only way to ask for help from An Guogong.

In any case, it is better to ask for help from Duke An than to ask for help from the imperial court.

Nowadays, all the powerful guard posts or important towns belong to Duke Anguo.

At most, the imperial court could mobilize some of the Sixteenth Guards of the pro-army army.

Those guys all lack combat experience. Although their equipment is good, they may not be able to compare with the city defense army, let alone the important towns.

And

it would be even worse if the court knew about this matter.

Therefore, Zhou Chen asked: “Sir, how is the matter? What did Duke An Guo say?”
