After the war between the Xia State and the Roma Turks, the goods of the Song State merchants were seized by the Dashi princes, which was damaged and could not return to their country. Under the command of the Xia State court, they started to trade in the sea without capital and kept harassed the coastal areas of the Roma Turks and the princes. Due to the decline of trade, the business of the major ports of the Roma Turks and the Dashi princes plummeted, and many sailors and merchants were unemployed. Many of these people joined the pirates. With collusion between inside and outside, many Dashi princes suffered a lot and demanded that the Roma Sultan send the navy to attack the pirates. However, with the support of the Xia State, the pirates became more and more serious.

The warships of Xia Kingdom sometimes attacked alone, and sometimes became entangled with other pirates to act together, causing a lot of trouble for the Dashi coast. They used Haixi Port as their home port and could also use the ports of the Lumei and other alliances to encounter weak Dashi fleets in the sea, and rushed over like vultures. When they met a more powerful Dashi navy, they scattered like tits, which gave Roma Turks and Dashi princes a headache.

The Roma Turks could not stop Xia's support for pirate harassment, so they took revenge. However, the heart of Xia's country was inland, with only Haixi Port on the west coast, and Zhenxi Fort was also a famous city, which made people unable to get out of the way. On land, they were suppressed by Xia's team, and the advantageous navy could not fight back. Roma Sultan was furious, so he adopted Pu's suggestion.

The wealth in Guangzhou and Quanzhou is piled up like a mountain, and the legend of Dashi merchants is like a myth. Pu Adan said that the Xia people and the Song people were pagans from the Tang people. The pirates in the Xia Kingdom harassed the Dashi princes for so long, and the Song people were inseparable from the Song people's interference and support. Although Haixi Port is a tough bone, the coastline of Song Kingdom is very large and there are many ports. It is impossible for every defense to be as strict as the Haixi Port of Xia Kingdom. Moreover, the Song Kingdom is full of wealth. Sending navy to loot the Song Kingdom can not only retaliate against the Tang people, but also make up for the losses of trade severance. So the Sultan sent his beloved general Famaitu as the commander and led a powerful navy to retaliate.

The Expedition Navy set out from Baghdad and joined the warships of the major Shi princes along the way, with more than 70 ships. In addition to the warships of Dashi itself, there were also warships transformed with the detained Song Dynasty merchant ships. The merchant ships of Song Dynasty were wide and not flexible enough, but they were very suitable for ocean-going navigation. Dashi merchants often liked to take Song Dynasty merchant ships to sea.

From the Song Dynasty to Dashi, there were a series of strongholds established by Dashi merchants. Most of the Dashi merchants depended on the protection of local kings or city lords and built one or several separate blocks. Due to the high taxes paid by sea trade, Dashi merchants often had a good status in the local area, and some great nobles and even kings converted to Allah. At these strongholds, the expeditionary navy received good supplies. It was only because of the wind direction that they had delayed until now that they arrived in Guangzhou.

The navy sent a small boat to contact the Dashi merchants in Guangzhou. After waiting for a day outside the sea, Pu Abin, the leader of the Dashi merchants in Guangzhou, came on a boat. Pu Abin was tall and dressed no differently than the Song people except for the turban. When he heard that the Dashi Navy was about to attack Guangzhou, Pu Abin's face turned pale. He waved his arms exaggeratedly and blurted out his words of objection.

"Attacking Guangzhou City? Are there any more crazy ideas than this?"

"Not ten thousand people will attack Guangzhou City, Allah!"

"You are a coward." Fatumai looked at him contemptuously and shook his head, "A coward like your brother!" He couldn't help but think of the big belly Pu Abin who was crawling at the foot of the Sultan, crying in pain and begging for mercy. He felt a little disgusted in his heart. Why is this man who betrayed the monarch and has no honor to be so rich? He can use money to bribe the Sultan's close ministers to say good things to him, and he saved his life after being attacked in the port of Baghdad.

"Coward?" Pu Abin was obviously more courageous than Pu Adan. He ignored Fatumai's contempt and loudly dissuaded: "You have less than 10,000 people, but you are going to attack a city with a strong city wall with a strong city wall. This is not bravery, but to die! Their city walls are high and thick, and they are placed with huge cannons. The defenders of Guangzhou, the state of Song, are several times more than yours."

Pu Abin's fierce opposition made Fatumai hesitate. He stared at Pu Abin and said coldly: "You know, the people I look down upon the most are those who work for the pagans wholeheartedly." This sentence made Pu Abin's eyes sharp suddenly, and Fatumai said proudly: "Since you are against attacking Guangzhou, tell me, what suggestions do you have?"

"Guangzhou cannot be fought," Pu Abin pressed his chest to calm his anger. He frowned and thought for a moment, suggesting, "However, there are many wealthy towns along the coast of Song State. Near Guangzhou, there are also eight towns in Fuxu, Lide, Dashui, Ruishi, Pingshi, Baitian, Datong and Shimen. However, these eight towns are not easy to fight. Brothers come from afar, it is best to find some coastal towns and villages to start first, and leave by boat before the Song team arrives. Where heavy troops defend, such as Guangzhou or Bada Town, you must find a good opportunity to enter."

"Small town and village?" Fatumai shook his head dissatisfied, and the food generals around him shouted in dissatisfaction: "How can that be done?"

"Hmph, why can't it be?" Pu Abin looked at these people with contempt and shook his head, "You don't know that even these small towns are gathering a large number of ship cargo, especially those vendors who evade market taxes. They like to pile goods in villages without Song Dynasty officials. To us, this is a lamb without sheepdogs."

In addition to normal trading, Pu Abin himself also engaged in smuggling business and was very familiar with this kind of place. The habits of the Song people were different from those of Dashi. There were almost no tribes among the people, and the force of the villages was far less than that of the Dashi tribe, and they were not guarded at all. In addition, the hinterland of the Song Dynasty in Guangzhou was almost never encountered large-scale pirate attacks before, and the defenses of various cities and villages were very relaxed. Although the court issued official documents to establish a county training camp, Guangzhou was still the same, unlike Henan, southeast, and Jinghu, which was ravaged by the Liao army, which was widely built and protected.

In the next ten days, the Dashi warships plundered and harassed Jindou, Dongguan, Xiangshan, Tamsui, Yang'an, Haifeng, Shiqiao, Huanggang and other places, and hundreds of people were killed in battle, and thousands of people were captured and injured. Since the war broke out in the north, all the troops who could fight on Guangnan East Road were drawn, and most of the naval warships were sent out with the Nanhai Reclamation. Most of the those left on Guangnan East Road were damaged sentry ships and the elderly, weak and sick. The Guangzhou Maritime Navy was unable to go out to sea to fight, and had to hire merchant ships to patrol and guard the battle at high prices, and also prepared to dig ships to block important port waterways when necessary. The prefectures and counties were not able to expel the enemy, and the city gates were closed in broad daylight. The market in Guangzhou suddenly became deserted, and the wind and wind were also heard in various places, and the urgent text flew to Ezhou like snowflakes.

Ezhou, the center of the Song Dynasty, was already churning like boiling oil in a hot pot.

In the past two or three months, not only has the number of death row prisoners escorted to Ezhou in various places increased sharply, but the Ministry of Justice did not kill many people, and planned to delay them until the autumn trial. The miserables and students from all over the country rushed to Ezhou, gathering in the Prime Minister's Office and the criminal department every day to seek justice. Inns, temples, Taoist temples, and academic institutions were all full of people. The accents of all over the world were either full of righteous indignation or cries with their chests and feet, looking like the world was turbulent and injustice was everywhere. Even ordinary people in Ezhou felt that the Song Dynasty was in turmoil when they saw this scene.

The urgent report of the pirates of the Great Food Pirates was sent to Ezhou, and the influence burst like a drop of water into the oil pan. It was bullied by the Khitans before. The official army won two games in Henan and Jingdong, and captured Daming Mansion, an important city in Hebei. It has greatly stimulated the morale of the scholars and citizens of the Song Dynasty. Now the Great Food People are also coming to take advantage of the situation and are really intolerable.

In less than a month, the news of the pirates plundering Guangnan Road spread all over the world, and the entire Song Dynasty was in full swing. The merchants and scholars in Guangnan were surging. The coastal prefectures and counties on Jiangnan Road, Lianghuai Road, Liangzhe Road, and Fujian Road were also panicked. The academic and political leaders shared the same hatred of the enemy and asked the court to quickly gather the naval warships and wipe out the invading pirates. The court seized this opportunity and immediately followed the good. On the second day after receiving the urgent retribution, he ordered Han Shizhong to go south to eliminate the pirates. The next day, Zhao Qi and Chen Dong summoned the Han army envoys, accepted the attached schedule of the Han army, and ordered the Han army navy to send troops to cooperate with Han Shizhong's troops to go south to protect the coastal prefectures and counties from being harassed by Dashi pirates.

On the same day, Yue Fei requested another large-scale northern expedition in the autumn, cooperated with Han Shizhongheng's naval army to seize the Hejian Prefecture and left the northward movement of the Hebei battlefield to stop issuing. The Prime Minister's Office drafted an edict, ordering the Nanhai reclamation land to cut off trade with the Dashi merchants and not to provide supplies to all Dashi merchant ships. The Guangzhou Maritime Warship Department quickly concentrated the naval warships scattered in the various reclamation lands of the South China Sea, and recruited merchant ships who could fight. It was necessary to cut off the Dashi naval naval naval naval to continue harassing the Song Dynasty. At the same time, coastal prefectures and counties were allowed to raise food and wages on their own, recruit group training, and hire merchant ships to establish a patrol naval division. The Ministry of War will also recruit sailors to form a new naval camp.
