The roots must be eradicated when cutting the grass. The true saint princess Jinman has always told himself this way. If cutting the grass, the roots will not be eradicated, and there will be endless troubles. When the country suppressed the rebel Gong Fu, he asked his subordinates to take his children away. The court thought that he had taken back Qinghai Town, so he was done and had no worries. But when the rebels had grown up, they appeared again, igniting everywhere with complex fire.
A spark can start a prairie fire.
Although Gong Fu died, his children were still there, and many of his loyal subordinates still supported them to continue to cause trouble. Over the years, Jinman and the recruited killers and swordsmen have chased and killed the remnants of the rebels, using various methods to kill Gong Fu's two sons. Who knew that after Gong Fu's daughter Zhang Yingying took over, she did better than her two brothers. Not only did she avoid her pursuit again and again, but she also attracted more and more people and became increasingly powerful.
The rebels in Silla were everywhere, and the imperial court suppressed them and started to press the gourd. However, Zhang Yingying, a bitch, was not willing to be lonely, and suddenly launched an attack and led an armed warship to capture and occupy the Wandao Islands on the southern sea of Silla, which was the Qinghai Town run by Gong Fu. Now Zhang Yingying is tying up the banner of rebellion in Qinghai Town, recruiting soldiers and helping the hungry people. Every day, countless people who cannot survive due to disasters and the rebellion of the domestic Red Pants Army, burning, killing, looting, and robbing, and dragging their families to Qinghai Town.
The imperial court dispatched troops to attack Qinghai Town, but three consecutive troops were defeated by the bitch Zhang Yingying. The three attacks not only failed to wipe out Zhang Yingying, but even weakened her strength. Instead, she became famous in the big town and attracted more people to join. At present, the rebels in Qinghai Town have gathered tens of thousands of people, catching up with the troops in Gong Fu's heyday. Moreover, Zhang Yingying, a bitch, actually secretly united with the red pants rebels in the country, echoing from one south and one north.
Shoot the man and shoot the horse first, and capture the thief first.
The official army was indestructible and was defeated repeatedly. Jinman enjoyed the corruption of the court and hated the corruption and incompetence of the official army. The official army could not solve Zhang Yingying, so she wanted to kill her by herself. Gong Fu's rebel force back then was also extremely powerful. But in the end, Gong Fu died under the sword of the killer sent by the court, and then the Qinghai town of the dragons were defeated by the official army. Zhang Yingying's two brothers were also assassinated one after another. The rebel force was once weak. It was not until Zhang Yingying took over that position that the army emerged and grew stronger again.
She knew very well that as long as Zhang Yingying was killed, this rebel army would definitely become a mess like it was back then.
She has been waiting for this opportunity, and now the opportunity has come. Zhang Yingying actually appeared in the Liaohai. Maybe Zhang Yingying thought her whereabouts were secret, but Jin Man buried her eyeliner beside her and gave the news to her as soon as possible.
"Speed up and chased after it. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as we kill that bitch Zhang Yingying, the rebels in Qinghai Town will die without attacking." Jin Man stood in the wind on the deck, wearing a set of red rhinoceros leather armor, and a long cloak with the same red embroidered golden mandra flowers hanging on her shoulders. Her hair was tied up and a golden crown was worn. With her cold face, she looked more like a handsome man in the wind.
Standing behind her was a man with frosty hair as thin as frosty snow. Although he had silver hair, he had a rosy face, slender and upright figure, wearing a long blue gown and carrying a long sword. This man was once a pirate. When he was young, he had saved Gong Fu, who was still a slave. Later, the two met and became friends, and even taught Gong Fu sword skills. But in the end, Gong Fu died under his sword. After Gong Fu raised his army, Lian Ping rushed to meet Gong Fu. The two met for a long time and met again, and Gong Fu welcomed him. Halfway through the wine, Lian Ping suddenly drew his sword and slashed Gong Fu's head, and brought it back to the Silla Royal City, resulting in the failure of the uprising.
For decades, Lian Ping has served as Jinman's swordsman teacher and guard commander. Not only did he protect his safety, teach her swordsman, he also gave him advice, and even trained guard swordsman. He is the person Jinman trusts the most.
"What did the princess think Zhang Yingying suddenly appeared in Liaohai?"
Jinman raised his two beautiful eyebrows, "I guess it's very likely that it was for the Li Yan. You should still remember the ambush at Fahua Temple in Chishan last year in the twelfth lunar month. We were all going to succeed that time, and successfully lured Zhang Yingying, but in the end, they were rescued by a man named Li Yan."
Lian Ping nodded, "Yes, it was this Li Guan who destroyed the final killing bureau. Afterwards, I sent someone to investigate. The Li Guan, who lied to be the general of Chishan Town, did not have this person in Chishan Military Town. At present, Dengzhou in the Tang Dynasty, a famous person recently appeared, also known as Li Guan. This man not only seized and occupied the Da Xie Fort, but also annihilated the joint fleet of Duli Town. He is really an amazing person. I suspect that this Li Guan is likely to be the Li Guan who saved Zhang Yingying."
"It should be true. This Li Yan is in the limelight now, so Zhang Yingying must have come to find him."
"Li Yan is very strong now. After defeating Feng Zhang and Duli Town, he is now strong and has hundreds of warships under his command. The most powerful navy in the northern part of the Tang Kingdom is truly the strongest. If Zhang Yingying and Li Yan secretly form an alliance, it will be very unfavorable to us. Your Highness came to Liaohai this time and secretly went to Duli Town. Is it to deal with Li Yan?"
"The enemy's friend is our enemy. The enemy's enemy is our friend. Since Li Yan is on Zhang Yingying's side, he is our enemy. Since Duli Town is Li Yan's enemy, he is our friend. This time I came to Duli Town to form an alliance to deal with Li Yan. Of course, it is also to negotiate a few transactions."
Now bandits are rushing in Silla, rebellions are raging, but there are still famines in the country. This time she went to Duli Town to negotiate several transactions on behalf of Silla, Duli Town, the largest free trade city in the north. Silla now needs a lot of food to alleviate the famine, and also requires a lot of weapons to quell the rebellion. Especially after Da Xie Fort Feng Zhang, who secretly sold a lot of weapons to Silla for many years, and Wang Jin, the Dengzhou Navy, stopped selling weapons, this need became even greater.
"What are we going to trade?" Lian Ping was also very clear about the current situation of Silla. In addition to the nobles, Silla is still living a life of drunkenness and dreams, but the situation is actually very unbearable.
"Ore, horses, cattle, sheep, and slaves!"
Jinman said calmly that she had reached an agreement with Duli Town to sell hundreds of metal mines such as gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, and lead in Silla to Duli Town and hand them over to them for mining. In addition, she also traded many horses, cattle and sheep on the ranch on Danluo Island for trading. The most important one was the slave transaction. Over the past century, Silla's biggest export commodity was slaves. Gong Fu once forbidden slaves, but after his death, everything was the same. Silla's slaves were more popular in the slave market, especially slaves.
Lian Ping sighed in his heart. There were not so many slaves in Silla. He knew what the princess was referring to. He captured all the prisoners of war and ordinary people who followed the thieves and sold them as slaves. Sometimes, as long as the towns captured by the rebels, the people of the entire town would be regarded as followers and demoted to slaves.
"Actually, I want to join forces with Li Guan. Li Guan has the strongest sea fleet. I heard that he also has a secret weapon called Divine Fire. He used this to defeat Feng Zhang and Duli Town. If we can join forces with him, it is no problem to destroy Zhang Yingying."
"Since that's the case, why not join forces with him?"
"Because Zhang Yingying is pregnant, but no one knows who the child's father is. I have never heard of Zhang Yingying having an affair with any man. I heard that she was nearly five months pregnant. Calculate the time, and that time was exactly when Li Yan saved her. I suspect that the child is likely to be Li Yan's. Li Yan is the father of the child, so how could he help us hit his son's mother?" Jin Man sighed helplessly. This was not actually suspicion, but that it had already reached 90% of the affirmation.
The Mandra Flower Fleet is getting closer and closer to the fleet ahead, which is a fleet of more than 30 ships. It looks like an ordinary caravan. But Jinman knows that Zhang Yingying is hiding in this fleet.
The fleet opposite was coming towards them. When they saw the fleet with the Mandra flower flag rushing towards them, the fleet was panicked and began to turn around in panic, preparing to escape.
Seeing this, Jinman laughed and said, "Roar up and tear them apart! But I want to live that bitch Zhang Yingying."
The caravan wanted to escape, but their ships were loaded with too much cargo, and their ships were just ordinary sea ships. Compared with Jinman's fleet designed for combat, they couldn't run fast at all, and they seemed to get closer and closer.
At this moment, Lian Ping suddenly discovered that there was also a fleet of more than ten ships behind them, and rushed towards them.
Li Yan stood on the deck and saw that Jinman's fleet had rushed up and bit the fleet that had no time to escape. There were already soldiers shooting arrows on each other on the deck, and even several ships had been hooked. A large group of soldiers were jumping on the side to fight in close combat. "So faster, rush forward and hit the largest ship."
Although Li Yan had only a dozen ships, it was a small fleet, consisting of an iron-armored sea falcon, two ordinary sea falcons, four boats and four ships, and six yachts. In addition to the five hundred excellent sailor crew members, the ship also carried Li Yan's entire silver gun guards with 500 troops. They were also equipped with strong bows and hard crossbows, gun raids, and many divine fires.
Jin Man was half happy. Seeing that the other party had stopped escaping, he was preparing to resist to the death and began to form a defensive formation. But the Mandura fleet had successfully boarded several ships of the other party one after another. When victory was in sight, Lian Ping suddenly shouted in surprise: "Princess, things are not good. A fleet behind us is eyeing us. It seems that it is very likely that Li Yan's fleet, let's go quickly." Jin Man looked back and saw that more than a dozen warships were riding the wind and waves and rushed straight towards her. Looking at the lineup of the other party's fleet, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Although there were no super warships like fighting ships and tower ships, warships like Iron Armored Sea Falcon were enough.
Her fleet basically belongs to the category of boats and yachts, and runs very fast, but this is just a preparation to chase Zhang Yingying. The real battle between warships is an absolute innate deficiency. Although she is unwilling to accept it, Jinman is definitely not a stubborn and unknown person. On the contrary, she is quite decisive. She makes a quick decision and orders to retreat and escape immediately without hesitation.
Although she might be able to catch Zhang Yingying with another force, she was not greedy at all. Since she followed Lian Ping to learn swords, the most important move she learned is not how to die with the enemy, but to save herself. Only by saving herself, even if she loses this opportunity, she will have the next chance.
"Retreat!" Looking at the Shamen Town fleet that was getting closer and closer, and looking at the Li-zi flag that was flying in the wind, Jinman's eyes were a little ruthless, "I will come back again, Li Guan, I remember you."
The Mandra fleet came and went quickly. They were quite fast and quickly left the battle and disappeared on the sea. The sailors on the merchant ship who originally thought they were dead were shouting excitedly and cheering loudly.
"Your Highness, Jinman has retreated and we are rescued." The captain said excitedly to Zhang Yingying on the largest sea boat in the caravan.
Zhang Yingying stood on the deck, her belly bulged slightly. She also let out a long breath and said with a little excited expression: "Look at who saved us!"
The lookout hand on the mast watchtower quickly reported: "There were seventeen ships coming, all of which were warships, one iron-armored sea falcon, two ordinary sea falcons, four boats, four ships, and six yachts. Their warships were hit by a flag of Li characters."
"Li Banner Flag, was it because the Qingnipu people just saved us? This place happened to be near Qingnipu Port, maybe it was the Li family's fleet." The captain said.
"No, that wouldn't be Qingnipu's fleet. It seems that they came along with Jinman's fleet just now. I already know who was coming."
The captain was puzzled: "Who else would be here besides Qingnipu's fleet?"
"It's Li Yan!" Zhang Yingying looked at the approaching fleet with an excited look in her eyes. In addition, this time, this time, Li Yan had rescued her from Jinman's hands for the second time. Why can Li Yan always appear so appropriately every time she is in danger? Is this really destined?
Thinking of this, she smiled slightly and her hands couldn't help but stroked her slightly raised belly. Perhaps this was really something God had already destined to be entangled in this life.
After a while, the fleet slowed down slowly and approached the caravan. He first sent a speedboat to inform him of his identity.
"We are under General Li Chen of Shamen Town. The general sent us to inquire. Is this Zhang Yingying Niangzi's fleet? Is Zhang Yingying Niangzi on the boat?"
"I am Zhang Yingying. Thank you for General Li Yan's rescue just now." Zhang Yingying stepped forward and replied.
