Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

However, when he boarded the bow and saw the huge fleet approaching from far away, as well as the extremely huge black skull and crossbones flag hanging on the mast of the battleship, he felt like crying.

What kind of luck do you have?After finally going out to sea, I met a legendary pirate. Who can I blame?

At this time, the people on the other two ships also saw the speeding Zhang Shun fleet, and they were all trembling with fear, their limbs trembling.

You know, during this period, rumors about the sudden appearance of powerful pirates on the sea spread a lot.

Legend has it that these pirates are all murderous people, and they leave no grass at all when they cross the border. From an 80-year-old woman to a baby waiting to be fed, no one can escape being cooked by them, as long as it is fresh. Cooked destiny.

This group of pirates was not only bloody and cruel, but their strength surpassed the two empires. Not only did they beat the Tang Dynasty and Zhou Dynasty so hard that they dared not go to the sea, they even destroyed all the coastal defenses in the two countries, forcing them to destroy the people. Move inland.

Now that they have encountered such a ferocious and powerful pirate, how can they not be frightened?

Just when everyone was at a loss, the fleet in the distance suddenly changed its formation and rushed towards them in an encirclement shape.

Seeing this situation, everyone on the boat had a look of determination on their faces, and they all drew out their weapons, preparing to fight to the death.

However, when they saw that on the deck of the battleship, there were densely packed soldiers with guns and armor, as well as dozens or hundreds of guns with black muzzles pointed at them and others.

With almost no hesitation, everyone threw away the weapons in their hands and raised their hands in a gesture of surrender.

Zhang Shun took almost no effort and captured the people on the three ships.

After some questioning, Zhang Shun quickly learned the origins of these people.

They turned out to be the Empress Chu Xin of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the kidnappers sent to rob the relatives of Li Jing, Duke of Wei of the Great Tang Dynasty.

Looking at the maidservants and guards in the cabin who were dressed in Tang Dynasty official costumes and tied with cloth strips and fell to the ground, Zhang Shun naturally thought that they were the hostages kidnapped by the other party.

I secretly despised the layout of the Empress of Zhou, and realized that it was useless.

What's the use of tying up these maids as guards?If you want to do it, then you have to do something big and kidnap two of Li Jing's closest relatives. Wouldn't this solve everything?

After tying up these useless servants, there is no way Li Jing would even take a look at them and kill them directly together with the people you Chu Xin sent to ask for ransom.

That's what he thought, but after getting the news, Zhang Shun's eyes still lit up.

If such breaking news were given to the Lord, he would definitely treat me differently, and maybe he would be spared his current punishment.

Looking at the brand new boat in front of me, I thought again that my lord is in Yangzhou City now, and he must be in need of transportation tools for traveling and fun.

So, without much brain capacity, he ignored Chu Mo's prohibition and directly led the fleet towards Yangzhou City in a mighty manner.

At this time, the entire city of Hangzhou was in chaos.

After Li Jing learned that his two grandsons and granddaughters were missing, he ordered all entrances and exits in Yangzhou City to be blocked, with only entry and no exit allowed, and he tried his best to search for the whereabouts of the two little ones.

However, no matter how much he searched, the two little ones were like mud cows drowning in the sea, without any news.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to mobilize his troops and began a city-wide manhunt.

As Li Jing's deputy, Zhang Liang was originally dissatisfied with him.

In his opinion, he was a minister of the Dragon, and you, Li Jing, had a weak position before. Not only did you not participate in the Xuanwu Gate change, you also blocked the subsequent treatment of Chu Mo. You were even dismissed from office by His Majesty the Emperor. Why can you still control yourself now?

At the beginning, as soon as the news that Li Mohan and Li Yuanqing were kidnapped came out, he knew it as soon as possible.

Li Jing originally turned a blind eye to Li Jing's decision to seal off the main roads. After all, his two grandsons were missing, so the slightest movement was nothing.

But when he heard that the other party had directly mobilized troops and started a city-wide search, he became a little dissatisfied.

These soldiers are all from the imperial court. You, Li Jing, disregard the etiquette of your family and country and use public weapons for private purposes so boldly. Do you really want to cover the sky with one hand?

So, as soon as he waited for the news, Zhang Liang led people into Li Jing's mansion and directly questioned the other party's purpose of doing this.

Facing Zhang Liang's questioning, Li Jing, who was already angry, didn't have a very good attitude and just wanted to dismiss him as the general manager of Jiangnan East Road March.

Zhang Liang was originally looking for trouble. After hearing Li Jing's words, he couldn't help but sneered and directly quoted the court laws, hoping to have a good fight with Li Jing.

Unexpectedly, Li Jing didn't listen to him at all, and directly used his own identity to issue an eviction order to drive him out.

Zhang Liang originally just wanted Li Jing to restrain himself and not make too much noise.

But now seeing that he was so ignorant, a rage arose in his heart.

Finally, with Li Jing's expression mixed with shock and anger, he took out a secret decree written by Li Shimin himself.

The secret order clearly pointed out that Zhang Liang was going to Jiangnan East Road, and he was Li Jing's deputy, leading the army of Jiangnan East Road as deputy general manager.

In fact, he was secretly supervising Li Jing on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, correcting his conduct and upholding his official ethics.

If Li Jing violates military discipline or uses public affairs for personal gain, he can be corrected on the spot and replaced as appropriate, becoming the general manager of the Jiangnan East Road March.

Li Shimin gave Zhang Liang this secret edict mainly because Li Jing's prestige in the court was too high. If Zhang Liang was given the post of chief military officer of the Jiangnan East Road from the beginning, he was worried that the ministers in the court would not accept it, so he kept this Backhand.

Even if Li Jing makes no mistakes now, when the navy is finally completed, Zhang Liang will take out this secret order and directly pick the peaches.

Secondly, Li Shimin was resentful and resentful about his failure to marry Li Zhenying.

You, Li Jing, would rather let Li Zhenying have an affair with someone than send her to the palace. Isn't this just a slap in the face?

In the end, he was actually concerned about his hot and cold attitude towards Li Jing over the years. He knew that this would definitely chill the old minister's heart, so he was prepared for a rainy day.

Let Zhang Liang find any excuse when he is in Jiangnan East Road to humiliate this veteran and make him lose his prestige.

When Li Jing saw the secret decree, he understood Li Shimin's intention. He immediately took off his robe without saying anything, put his official seal on the table, and left with his servants. The Grand Steward's Office.
