The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 1036

[Chapter 1036 Fifteen Islands]

The prefect of Jinzhou had a dark face, did not say a word and remained silent.

Zhou Chen was a little curious when he saw this scene.

What on earth did the Duke say to make the Magistrate behave like this?

At this time, the prefect of Jinzhou finally spoke: “After all, Duke An Guo is not from Jinzhou Prefecture. It is human nature not to care much about the affairs of Jinzhou Prefecture.”

Even the stupidest person can hear these words. The resentment inside.

What does it mean?

Is it possible that the Duke is unwilling to get involved in this matter?

impossible!

Isn’t it easy for the majestic An Guogong to deal with a small Haikou army?

Isn’t An Guogong not willing to help with such a small favor?

It is also necessary to know that the master of the government will report it to the court, and then go through layers of approval. By the time the official document returns to Jinzhou Prefecture, the pirates may have already circled Jinzhou Prefecture three or four times.

This is not common sense at all.

“The Duke is unwilling to send troops?” Zhou Chen asked.

The prefect of Jinzhou sneered and said leisurely: “When the Shenji Battalion is dispatched once, the cost of Divine Punishment and Tianwei alone is a large amount of silver. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs will not release this money.” Yes, only Duke An Guo’s mansion will come from it.

But if we go to the imperial court, even if the imperial court needs to use the Shenji Camp, it must send some money there. If we use the Sixteenth Guards of the personal army, there is no need for money.

Ruoyou. It’s Duke An, what will you choose?”

Zhou Chen was stunned when he heard this.

Does the magistrate mean that the reason why Duke An Guo is unwilling to send troops is because of money?

But this pirate attack is not only a matter for Jinzhou Prefecture, but also a matter for the imperial court!

Duke An Guo doesn’t seem to be someone who cares about money.

“I feel that Duke An Guo is not someone who cares about money. Even if Duke An is unwilling to send troops, there must be a reason why he doesn’t want to send troops.”

Hearing this, the prefect of Jinzhou raised his eyebrows .

She glanced at him and asked: “So, do you think that I am judging a gentleman with a villain’s heart?”

Zhou Chen hurriedly bowed and said: “Being humble does not mean anything like this!”

The prefect of Jinzhou snorted coldly and said leisurely: “Even if you have such intention, I have nothing to say.”

After saying that, he did not stop and left here.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chen could only follow.

“Sir, what should we do next?”

The prefect of Jinzhou said angrily: “What should we do? What else can we do? Without the Shenji Battalion, can we stop the pirates by relying on your city guards?”

Zhou Chen lowered his head and remained silent.

The Jinzhou Guards Station was occupied by those guys, let alone the City Guards?

The city guards and garrison troops combined were not enough to subdue the pirates.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that there is only one way to go, to write to the court and ask the court to send reinforcements.

“After I return, I will compile a letter and send it to Kyoto Prefecture as quickly as possible. You and your people will go to the Jinzhou Guards Station to watch. If you encounter pirates, if there are no civilians, you can fight in a roundabout way. There is no need to resist forcefully.”

This is said very euphemistically. The translation means to be smarter. If you can beat them, run away. If you can’t beat them, retreat. Don’t be tough with other pirates. You can’t stand up to them!

Although this is hurtful, it is true.

Zhou Chen hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: “Yes, sir, I understand the humble position.”

The Jinzhou magistrate nodded and said leisurely: “I just hope that during this period, those pirates can stay calm and not be provoked by me again. What happened?”

After saying that, he turned his head and glanced at the mansion where Fang Xiu lived behind him, sighed leisurely, and stopped talking.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly and there was no cloud in the sky.

There are several buildings built on a small island in the sea outside Jinzhou Prefecture. The style of these buildings is clearly not Dachu.

It doesn’t even have anything to do with Da Chu at all. It is a completely new architectural style.

In the middle is a large hall.

At this moment, in the main hall, more than a dozen people were sitting on a round table with indifferent expressions.

After counting carefully, I found that there were exactly fifteen people.

These fifteen people were sitting at a round table, which showed that their statuses were not much different.

Everyone is a pirate leader who leads a small island.

There are a total of fifteen small islands nearby, and a total of fifteen pirate leaders will gather on one of the small islands every once in a while to discuss some matters.

This time is no exception.

According to custom, the first seat is opposite the main entrance. Sitting on this first seat is a woman with fiery red hair and a pair of blue eyes.

Needless to say, he knew that this person was not from Chu.

The other fourteen people were sitting in different places, all looking at her with hostile eyes.

the reason is simple.

This woman was not originally one of the fifteen.

They fled from the Southeast Road.

Some time ago, the Shenji Battalion suddenly arrived at the Southeast Road. Many pirates in the Southeast Road could no longer survive and could only come to Jinzhou Port.

These pirates had fights with the pirates at Jinzhou Port.

However, most of them failed.

The reason is simple. Jinzhou Port is quite far away from the southeast port. From the southeast port to here, the crew members are exhausted and the supplies are exhausted.

They don’t have the capital to fight with them.

Another reason is that these fifteen islands formed an alliance called the Fifteen Islands Alliance.

The Fifteen Islands Alliance is the largest pirate force outside Jinzhou Prefecture.

If any island is attacked, the others will try their best to help.

The foreign pirates were scattered, each fighting his own way. Therefore, there was no way to break through the Fifteen Islands Alliance, and in the end they all fled.

Others were simply divided among the fifteen islands.

The power of these fifteen islands has become stronger.

In addition, some people went to capture the smaller islands and barely managed to survive.

There is only one exception, and that is the woman sitting in the first seat.

She single-handedly captured one of the islands, repelled attacks from other islands, and even beheaded the original island owner in front of many people!

Finally, a letter was sent, saying that he wanted to join the Fifteen Islands Alliance.

In this way, the original island was occupied by this woman.

Even old foxes and sea wolves like them have to admit that this woman does have some skills and scheming.

He forcefully carved a foothold for himself in this place.

They didn’t want to come to this gathering.

But the woman wrote another letter to them, saying that this gathering was of great importance and was to discuss a major matter.

This incident determined whether the entire pirates in Jinzhou Prefecture could survive.

It is precisely because of this that they went to the banquet, and of course they were accompanied by many guards.

This woman also agreed to them bringing so many guards as an exception.

I just don’t know what she wants to say
