Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

In addition, after some discussion between Li Jing and Li Junxian, they decided to let the warriors Yun and Zhang Shun lead a fleet in the name of merchants and start heading outward according to a world map left by Chu Mo. search.

Look for inhabited islands and bases that can become your own logistics supplies.

However, because this matter took a long time, and there would definitely not be an efficient return in a short time, everyone turned their attention to Datang and Lingnan next door.

Of course, due to the limitations of the terrain, their main target for plundering was finally placed on Datang.

As for Lingnan, due to Yang Hongyu's fierce reputation, the range of artillery and muskets there was better than their own, and the coastal defenses along the coast were very complete, they could not find a breakthrough for a while.

So everyone did not think about attacking by force, but sent a team of envoys, hoping that the two sides could conduct trade.

However, when Yang Erbao, who was stationed in Lingnan, learned that Li Junxian and the others were the pirates who had attacked him before, instead of agreeing to trade, he directly chopped off the heads of the envoys sent.

Then someone sent them back to Li Jing and Li Junxian.

The other party's behavior made it clear that he wanted to fight to the death with him.

Although he was angry in his heart, he was worried about Yang Hongyu's strength, and it was not appropriate to have a direct confrontation with the opponent now.

In desperation, the two of them could only hold back their inner aggrievedness and vent all their anger on Datang.

As a result, Datang suffered.

Not only were the coastal areas constantly under attack, but even some villages and small towns were looted from time to time.

What depresses Datang the most is that Li Jing and Li Junxian don't play according to the routine at all.

When people loot, they always steal some property and food.

And wherever their plundering team passed, it could be said that there was no grass growing.

Not only were all the property and food packed away, but even the people of the Tang Dynasty were also robbed.

For this reason, all the governors and guardians everywhere were in trouble.

Previously, Datang focused its operations entirely on the Great Zhou and Lingnan areas, and did not spend much energy on the coastal areas.

This meant that Li Shimin opened his arms to face the enemy.

But Li Jing and Li Junxian suddenly broke through from the middle, catching them off guard.

When they wanted to mobilize troops to return to defense, they found that there were no troops to mobilize within the Tang Dynasty.

They want to draw troops from the border between Lingnan and Dazhou to support them, but they have to worry that Dazhou and Lingnan will take advantage of this opportunity to launch a massive attack.

So, overnight, memorials asking for help were sent to Chang'an like snowflakes.

At this time, Chu Mo, Li Shimin and Cui Yingying were unaware of the war taking place along the coast.

At this time, they were all thinking about how to kill each other.

Chu Mo robbed the team of Five Surnames and Qi Wang, and after plundering a batch of supplies from them, and using the excuse of war horses to seize 200 large livestock from them, he led the team directly to the north, heading towards Go to the border of Dazhou.

Not long after the heads of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes sent Chu Mo away like a plague, Zhang Taixin also led his team to the gate of the camp.

When they heard the soldiers guarding the gate reporting that another defeated army had arrived outside the camp, several family heads almost became frightened and became incontinent on the spot.

You know, I spent a lot of supplies in order to send away those bandits. Now if there is another wave, wouldn't it mean that my family will be emptied?

However, when they heard that the person coming was Zhang Taixin, who had come to meet up under Cui Yingying's order, they immediately felt like they could see the sun through the clouds, and the moon could shine through the clouds.

After welcoming the people into the camp, meeting Zhang Taixin, and listening to his description of the battles of the past few days, the several family heads who were originally in a beautiful mood suddenly began to frown again.

At the beginning, when Cui Yingying said she was going to intercept Li Shimin and Chu Mo, they were all very nervous.

But when they knew that there was Zhang Taixin as a strong support, and Cui Yingying defeated Li Shimin's center army and right wing camp overnight, they thought they had a chance to win. Even if Li Shimin didn't die this time, he would be seriously injured.

But they never expected that just how long had passed, the war ahead would be repeated several times, and now they had to run for their lives as a family, which made their hearts fall from heaven to the bottom of the valley.

Such a huge gap naturally made several family owners full of resentment towards Cui Yingying.

But no matter what, the power of the five surnames and Qiwang is now all in the hands of Cui Yingying. If they fall out, the other party is probably willing to go along with the situation and directly destroy the other several families.

And the Zhang Taixin in front of him had obviously taken refuge with Cui Yingying. Although the other party was retreating, it didn't look like he was escaping. Therefore, the family heads could only break their teeth and swallow it. I dare not feel dissatisfied at all.

However, although they cannot express their dissatisfaction with Cui Yingying, it does not prevent them from setting a trap for each other first.

So, with the eye contact since then, Cui Zheng told Zhang Taixin that he had suffered a wave of bandits and robbed most of their gold and supplies, hoping that he could stay here for a while and send troops to help recover those supplies. .

If it were normal times, Zhang Taixin would definitely have agreed to the requests of the family masters without even thinking about it.

But now, Li Shimin is chasing after them. In order to give everyone more time to retreat, the Cui family leader took huge risks and delayed the other party.

If I stay here to suppress the bandits and spend too much time, I'm afraid an accident may happen.

Therefore, Zhang Taixin directly rejected the proposals of several family heads and strictly ordered them to set off for Jiangnan immediately.

Originally, if they wanted to return to their ancestral land, they had to go to Dazhou, because the ancestral lands of the five surnames and Qiwang have now fallen and become the territory of Dazhou.

But Cui Yingying directly opposed the opinions of all the people. In the early days of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, she moved all the major families to Jiangnan and settled there.

And Chu Xin, for unknown reasons and considerations, did not stop the migration of the five surnames and Qi Wang, and even sent people to escort them all the way into the Tang Dynasty.

After these years of construction and development, Cui Yingying relied on her own methods and financial capabilities to build the entire Jiangnan into an iron barrel, making it impossible for the entire Tang Dynasty to interfere.

Li Shimin was angry and angry about this, but because he was restrained by Da Zhou, he could not fall out with him, so he could only let him do whatever he wanted.

Now that the five surnames and Qiwang have fallen out with the imperial court, if they want to relocate their entire family, the only place to go is to the south of the Yangtze River.

However, what they don't know is that Jiangnan is now completely shrouded in the dark clouds of Li Jing and is in dire straits.
