Chapter 543 [International Spy]
On the east side of the Istanbul Strait, you can see the Aegean Sea with a slightly higher position. The sea breeze blows slowly. For some reason, Pang Juan feels a little sweet. I remember that when he first came here, he was very uncomfortable with this kind of sea breeze. If he smells too much, his throat will dry and he will even want to vomit.
"The Aegean Sea is a nice name. I just don't know if there are really wonderful legends in this sea area as Bai Dong said? It turns out that these Western Rong people also have gods. Although these gods are not very good, they either love killing or cheating, and are often killed by mythical mortals. This is impossible in China. How can people kill gods? I heard that there is a city called Athens in the west. Like many cities, the people here are not called Limin, they are called citizens. As long as they follow the legal procedures, they can have the power of nobles or even monarchs? How is this possible! There is also Thrace on the opposite side, these barbarians are good at using double axes, and they are all tall. When it comes to fighting alone, they even surpass Wei Wuzhu? I just don't believe it. I just hope to fight with these savages. Let's see if that boy Bai Dong is bragging?"
The huge port on the east side of the strait originally belonged to the Persian Empire, and there was a shipyard near the port. It had already stopped shipbuilding due to the decline of the Persian Empire's national strength. After Pang Juan and his army arrived, he built his military base based on this shipyard. A large amount of resources from Qin State were continuously supplied in the past three years. At the same time, there were shipbuilding experts and various sailing talents dispatched from Yue State and Qi State from thousands of miles away. Now Pang Juan has learned to use the guide turtle and the "maintenance and latitude positioning method". At the same time, he is also practicing navigation techniques and participating in actual combat. The Thracians on the opposite side always like to ride on their broken ships to harass his naval base. It is unbearable. Pang Juan is a dog. I have already urinated here. How can I allow others to pee again?
Pang Juan drove the guards out. Sitting alone in the harbor, he raised his glass full of wine and stuffed it down. Looking at the Thracian castle faintly visible across the strait and the fleet that has gradually grown from scratch in the past three years, he was indescribable: "My sword has been sharpened, why haven't you given orders yet? And that boy Bai Dong, don't you want to see the Qin army breaking Thracian and taking Rome straight? I'm so suffocating!"
Pang Juan is a fierce dog. Whoever fights him in his life will be his master. After several happy battles, he unknowingly positioned himself as a Qin man. Now the 30,000 Wei Wushu under his command are the same. As one of the two major naval armies carefully cultivated by Bai Dong. Their welfare is much better than when he was a martial soldier in Wei State. After the Zhou Emperor was upgraded to the emperor, these martial soldiers were the "Imperial Army" in the West who were ordered by the emperor to expand the border. The Wei State dared not give them a piece of food.
Qin State will also send another copy. The military soldiers who received the double "salary" now made the group of Yongqi elite soldiers under Silde jealous. They can spend too much military spending every month and can also send them back to their hometown of Wei through the Bai family's money shop. Who gave this benefit? Of course, it was Qin State, Bai Zi, otherwise they might have been driven to conquer everywhere by Pang Juan. How could they be as happy as the sea breeze here, looking at the Aegean Sea, eating seafood, and drinking wine?
"I heard that the emperor has ordered the general to be appointed as the young master of Qin. This is a high-ranking title, and it is only one level away from Wei Yang. Congratulations."
A man walked into the building with a smile and gently pushed the door in. It was drizzling outside. The man was wearing only a wide white robe. It looked like he had just run out of a bathtub. There was a short sword hanging around his waist, but it was two feet long, but half a foot wide. The scabbard was covered with gems and pearls and fancy things. Pang Juan even doubted what this thing could be used on the battlefield.
"Mr. Jing, it's okay if you're dressed up in a weird outfit. What's wrong with curly hair? Do you ignore the face of the old Qin minister? Alas, I don't know what to say."
Pang Juan shook his head repeatedly when he saw it. In the past three years, Jing Jian went back and forth to the Istanbul Strait, and his subordinates secretly picked him up and dropped him off. At first, this Jing Gong was dressed in a standard Qin man, but now he is fine. It's just that dressing is inexplicable. He didn't know what he used to do to the soft and elegant black hair, but there was a small curly flower at the end. It looked very strange. This was the pre-Qin period, which was not the Song Dynasty, which was the man who loved embroidery and flowers in later generations. How could Pang Juan continue to see it?
"When I passed by Thrace, I found that people there were either born with such curly hair or would perm the curly hair with burnt iron rods. It was a trend. Later I realized that the Greeks and Romans were like this. You have never seen how charming those Roman beauties with curly blonde hair are. I like this hairstyle, so I learned from those Westerners to perm. It's a pity that I don't understand how to dye my hair golden or just like dyeing cloth? I have time to ask Baizi."
"Don't talk about your hair anymore, okay, I'll be crazy. Will I leave this time when I come back? Rome is so good that you can linger? If this is true, the Qin Dynasty should have to fight. I have practiced the navy here for three years, and there are hundreds of warships of all sizes and big, but I have no wars all day long. Is this going to kill me crazy?"
Pang Juan became more and more angry as he spoke. He did not love gold and silver girls in his life, but he loved fighting. How did Bai Dong say that he swept Persia into Rome and allowed him to make great achievements in great success. He fought a few happy battles in Persia, and then stopped by the sea to watch the sea. He was not a lighthouse!
"Haha, don't worry, don't worry, look at what this is?" Jing Jian smiled and opened a parchment scroll. He saw that the territory of several countries was painted on it, and some villains and ships were drawn on the land and the ocean. However, some places were dense and some were sparse.
"Is it a map of the deployment of troops from Western countries?" Pang Juan is an expert and can see the truth about this map at a glance.
"Near the Aegean Sea are the Greek city-states, and further to the west is the 'Mediterranean Sea' mentioned by Baizi. The Romans have now mostly controlled the Apennine Peninsula in the northern Mediterranean. The war with the barbaric Gauls is now intensifying. Influenced by this war, the Greek and Roman navy were waiting for war, and their control over the Mediterranean was greatly weakened. The map I gave you is the basic military deployment map of the Mediterranean countries, including castles on the seaside, land divisions, and ports stationed by the navy fleet."
The basic prototype of this map was actually given by Bai Dong. Otherwise, even if he gave Jingjian three more years, he would not be able to draw such a map. However, on the map, the deployment of troops from Greece, Rome, Gaul, and the Carthaginians who controlled the Iberian Peninsula, the navy's land division was located. Jingjian spent three years investigating and adding it to it. In the past three years, Jingjian has almost become the West, from Greece to Rome, from the Aegean Sea to the Mediterranean, and at the farthest time, it has been there. The Strait of Gibraltar has become a successful international spy, navigator, linguist, customist and Western geographer. As his understanding of the Mediterranean and the ancient West gradually deepened, Jing Jian felt that Bai Dong was really terrifying. He had never been to the Western world, so why did the map he drew was exactly the same as his. He would have suspected that this boy was just like him and was a spy sent to Lao Qin from the West.
"I see!"
Pang Juan's eyes lit up: "Bai Zi wants me to lead the navy to attack Western countries? Tell me, which country should we attack first? Not to brag about you. After these three years of training, all of my men went into the sea to catch fish and get sails on board. If the world-famous Wei Wuzhang square formation is used for naval battles, it will be invincible!"
"Haha, if there is such an order, then I will not come to you. The emperor or the emperor will directly order. Bai Zi has an extremely vivid description of the order of the general this time." Now Pang Juan is a young master. According to the rules of Qin, the general army was called the general, which was the same as the militant transformation that led the army to attack Yiqiu that day.
"What kind of description?" Pang Juan was surprised.
"Come into the village quietly, don't want to move" (To be continued)
