Chapter 17 Fishing Operations(2/2)
In the later stage of the East China Sea bandits' invasion of Taihu Lake, no less than 20,000 East China Sea bandits and hundreds of ships poured into the counties and counties. If these East China Sea bandits were directly controlled by the She family, the She family would have been in confrontation with Li Zhuo long ago.
A second front has opened.
In fact, Lin Fu set up bait and fishing on Xisha Island to lure out a small group of passing pirates, and also further understood the internal situation of some East China Sea pirates. The number of the thirteen East China Sea pirate forces who came to the Shengsi Islands to form an alliance this time was also limited.
In total, there are only more than 4,000 people.
However, those who can lure and annihilate Xisha Island are the peripheral East China Sea bandit forces who do not know the situation of Xisha Island, or simply this group of fishermen in troubled waters, and what can be extracted from their mouths is limited; Lin Fu can only initially judge that the real victims of luxury in the early stage are
Those controlled by the family were probably the first batch of more than a thousand elites who attacked Anji County.
Even if there were more than a thousand people, Lin Fu would not be able to fight with them.
What's more, the East China Sea bandits have turned upside down in the Taihu bandits. In this process, the thirteen East China Sea bandits in the alliance have become more closely connected. The She family's control over the East China Sea bandits has been further strengthened. If there is no effective
Containment, even the peripheral Donghai bandit forces have been controlled by the She family, and the situation will only become more and more unfavorable to Jiangdong County.
"In the past two days, I will go back to Jiangning to meet with Gu Wuchen and see how he will deal with it," Lin Fu said, "Since the matter is over here, let's go back to Guanyin Beach first."
In addition to more than 20 survivors and more than 20 young women who were rescued, more than 20 survivors will be handed over to Chongzhou County for disposal. However, the two loach boats and the pirates on board have looted the property from the counties along the Taihu Lake.
Lin Fu naturally intercepted the goods and used them for the construction of Xisha Island.
In the past few days, Lin Fu used this bait-fishing method to intercept eight fully loaded pirate ships.
The thirteen East China Sea pirates in the alliance fought against the Ninghai Navy Division, with the main purpose of attacking the coastal garrisons. The degree of looting and damage they caused to local areas was not as good as the peripheral East China Sea bandit forces and other fishermen in troubled waters.
The eight pirate ships intercepted by Lin Fu and others were all loaded with plundered goods, mostly gold, silver and bronze wares, and even a bottle of bronze Buddha weighing more than 20,000 kilograms. I don’t know how these bandits packed the bronze Buddha.
On board the ship, the bronze Buddha bottle was melted down to make copper coins worth more than 4,000 taels.
The eight pirate ships carried almost eighty or ninety thousand taels of goods in exchange for silver, which clearly shows the wealth of the four prefectures around Taihu Lake.
The prefectures and counties around Taihu Lake suffered such a catastrophe, not counting casualties, and the loss of property amounted to at least millions of taels.
In addition to the strength of the East China Sea pirates directly controlled by the She family, the She family provides various supports to other pirates behind the scenes. The goods plundered by these pirates will naturally be used for ventive consumption to purchase ships, weapons, and combat equipment.
Or selling the stolen goods and other ways to get it into the hands of the luxury family.
As one rises and the other wanes, the She family secretly accumulates strength, but the southeastern counties are severely weakened. The She family's plan to abandon the land and go to the sea is indeed vicious, but it is easy for the She family to be the leader of one place, but it is difficult to conquer the world.
If given a choice, how many local forces in Jiangdong and Zhejiang would be willing to join the She family?
Lin Fu returned to Guanyin Beach, and Jiang Ning sent a message saying that Gu Wuchen would go directly to Chongzhou to inspect in the next two days, and he might also cross the river to Pingjiang Prefecture to inspect the bandits.
