Chapter 567 Still a Pirate
"What's going on?" Wang Kuang was angry, but Li Dabang's affairs had nothing to do with Wang Linbo. Wang Linbo had no responsibility for this matter. The place where Li Dabang went, but if he really wanted to pursue it south of the Jiannan Army, Wu Yuanqing should be the first to bear the brunt. But now it is not the time to find the person in charge. The most important thing is to find out the ins and outs of the matter.
Originally, Li Dadan was probably wandering around the Indonesian archipelago. Going southward, it was the Australian continent, and going eastward, it was Jiandong. In any case, there should be no such powerful force in that place. It can be regarded as nothing in the Tang Dynasty. It is the dwarf clan that Wang Kuang has been looking for, and it is not bloodthirsty. They are relatively more kind than humans. This is the most popular inference in later generations, because there are no traces of knife and axe in the bones of all the ancient dwarves I found. In other words, there are no signs of killing each other. Instead, there are scars of swords and arrows on the nearest age. It was done by humans and had nothing to do with dwarves. It is precisely because of human expansion that the dwarves have lost their place of survival and gradually embarked on the road to extinction.
However, Li Dadan suddenly came to Dongzhigang, and was still unconscious. He was wearing a single dress and couldn't see clearly. However, the scars on his face and the scars on his arms were clearly visible. Why didn't Wang Kuang angry?
"Mr. Jian'an, I really don't know very well. The man was brought back by Haike, not from Jiannan. According to Haike, they also met Li Dadan, who was injured while going out to sea to hunt for treasure. Then they brought him back. However, after Li Dadan got on the boat, he began to have a fever and became unconscious. Therefore, Haike didn't even know who they were rescued. Until this morning, they carried Li Dadan down. There was a child of Jian'an in the dock on duty and recognized Li Dadan. Therefore, he asked someone to let him go.
He was carried to the camp, and Marquis Jian'an didn't have to worry too much. He had already asked someone to go to Min County to invite the best doctor to come. He could arrive before noon, and the doctor in the town would arrive in a moment." The Doctor of Sui Jun was good at treating the trauma department, but he was not so good for other diseases. Therefore, Wang Linbo simply did not allow the Doctor of Sui Jun. Instead, he sent two people to the town to invite the Doctor of the Doctor of the Town. He went to Min County to invite the Doctor of the Fuzhou Yamen. There were many medicine halls, and there were also many famous Doctors.
"Then what happened when you called for the troops? Since you didn't know what you did to summon troops?" With Xu Guoxu's reminder the first night, Wang Kuang now remembered that Wang Linbo was going to obey his orders, and he wouldn't be so polite to Wang Linbo.
"I first summoned the troops. Once Li Dadao woke up, as long as he explained clearly who was the one who was harmed, I would kill him immediately without leaving any armor!" Wang Linbo said in a decisive manner. Wang Kuang gave him a great contribution for nothing the day before yesterday. Although he didn't know what kind of contribution the credit was and how great it could be, the Marquis of Jian'an never gave him little contribution. So Wang Linbo felt that he should do something.
"Nonsense!" Wang Kuang snorted, "Even if you know who killed him, how can you go without any preparation? Do you recognize where their nest is? There are many islands in that area and many straits, so go searching one by one? When will you find it? Wait! I know who did it! These pirates who killed the sky!"
Strait. That's right, it's the Strait. Wang Kuang's own words woke him up. On the strait between Jawa Island and Sumatra Island, in a large area west of East Timor, many treasure hunters in the West in later generations salvaged many shipwrecks, among which the most were the ones in the Tang Dynasty. Especially in a short section of the two islands, Sumatra and Jawa, there were hundreds of shipwrecks. Almost all ships from the Tang Dynasty. Traces of looting by pirates were found in the salvaged ships, that is, there were at least one pirate with great power in that area.
The entire Southeast Asian islands, Jiannan Army guarded the north in Luzon, and its influence has spread throughout the entire Philippine maid islands. In the east, Jiandong has spread to the west. The island of New Guinea is still deserted. To be precise, there is only a large area of primitive tropical rainforests and swamps. It can be said that the remaining area is only a large area of Daxun (xun, Xun) and his archipelago cannot control the Tang Dynasty.
On the Philippine Maid Islands, there are only people living in Little Luzon. Other islands are not crowded, and the Jiannan Army often sends people to patrol. The island of New Guinea has been assigned to Jiandong County by Lin Quanmiao, which is equivalent to six or seven Jianzhou areas, making Jiandong the largest county in the Tang Dynasty, and also causing Jianzhou to regain the position of the world's largest state. However, Jiandong has not had enough population on the islands where the Tu family was originally located. Therefore, Lin Quanmiao does not have so much energy to develop it now, so the island does not have an exact name, and it is called Xida Island according to the custom of the Jiandong people.
As for what was later called the Strait of Malacca, the current sphere of influence of Zhenla, the current South Asian powerhouse, is relatively safe. Therefore, the place where Li Dadan had an accident should be a large archipelago in southwestern Indonesia in later generations. However, the sea area in that area was very wide. Before Li Dadan, the person involved, woke up, the Tang Dynasty navy did not have such great ability to lay out a net of heaven and earth.
Wang Kuang has always forgotten this point. Later generations did not care much about the history of that area, so after reading the information, he forgot that his words were just a lined straits, which made him think of this point. More than a hundred shipwrecks mean that the pirates there existed for a long time. After the Middle Tang Dynasty, the islands in Southeast Asia successively had indigenous tribes, so the possibility of pirates existed was in the early Tang Dynasty.
"Let's talk about it after Li Dadao wakes up. By the way, where are those seamen? Where are they now?" Wang Kuang sighed. No matter how powerful the Jianzhou naval army is, it can only be aimed at one island and one country. When can we learn from Lao Mi and have military bases all over the world, that's great.
"Those seamen were left in Dongzhigang. Someone was worried that Jian'an Hou had something to ask, so he didn't let them leave. However, it is said that they found Li Dadan on a small island just south of Zhenlalinyi. They also went to the island to check it, and there was no trace of people living there. Therefore, it was judged that Li Dadan was rushed to the island by the sea current." Wang Linbo had done his homework, and he could answer whatever Wang Kuang asked. It seemed that he had asked the seamen in detail.
The sailing routes of the ships of the seamen are different from the regular ships between the Dongzhi Port between Jiannan and Jiandong. They have more choices to cross Qiongya and go all the way south, because there are many large islands in that area, which are deserted and crowded, and rarely visited. This is the adventure park in the eyes of the seamen. Some merchants who have their own boats will mostly choose this route, crossing the Great Sunda Islands, taking the Indian Ocean, selling silk tea and pottery to Tianzhu and Zhenla and other places in exchange for Tianzhu jewelry and spices. However, there are not many people working on this route now and have not yet formed an economies of scale. Therefore, although it is many years earlier than the Maritime Silk Road, it is not considered the beginning of maritime trade.
"Forget it, let them go." Wang Kuang was already sure that the only ones who did this were the pirates in that area, and the seaguards would not and dared not attack the Tang army, and there was no reason or need. Although Wang Kuang had no concerns about that area, he knew much more than the most experienced seaguards in the Tang Dynasty today. Therefore, there was no meaning to keep them, and he couldn't ask any questions. The seaguards used time to bet on their fate. They didn't need to waste their time. They had to wait for Li Dadan to wake up before letting them go. Wang Kuang was very strong against the powerful, but he didn't want to beg for civilians.
"Then I'll go and ask someone to blow the trumpet and cancel the previous convening order." Wang Linbo was about to leave. The convening order was not a joke. One round of numbers was prepared. After one hour, all the soldiers must pack up in the camp. In another half an hour, the three rounds would be assembled. If the army was assembled but did not set off, the prestige of the chief general would be greatly reduced.
The navy is different from the army. If the army wants to assemble, it does not allow soldiers close to their homes to say goodbye, because they are worried that the news will be leaked. However, the Jianzhou navy is different. If they want to assemble to attack other countries, it is also a water route. At present, there are no civilian ships that can only pass through the Jianzhou navy ships. As for the purpose of venting information from land, the current road conditions are not as fast as the water route, so there is no need to worry about whether the news will be leaked. Therefore, Wang Linbo has such a more humane military order.
Now, just half an hour after the first pass rang, it was still too late to blow the disbanded trumpet. The soldiers who left the camp and went home to say goodbye were not far away, and they could hear the trumpet. If it was too late, it would be too late.
"Wait, let's gather. I guess Li Dadan will take care of his body. It's probably not possible to do it without ten days or half a month. However, only Li Dadan knows the distance between the pirates or the place where Li Dadan is in trouble, and he has to let him lead the way. In my opinion, the three hundred soldiers in the Jiannan Army are probably in danger." Wu Yuanqing sent three hundred soldiers to follow Li Dadan, namely also to investigate, but in fact he was protecting Li Dadan. Wang Kuang guessed it when he first learned the news, and the pirates who could break up the three hundred soldiers and even be wiped out by the entire army should not be underestimated.
If Li Dadan could stand intact in front of Wang Kuang, Wang Kuang would still hold that the three hundred martial artists would have hope of escape by chance, but Li Dadan fell to such a level, then the outcome of the three hundred martial artists can be imagined.
