Chapter five hundred and forty-seven [Fighting Shu II]

Pang Juan lost a lot. Before this bet game, he thought he would teach Gongzishun a hard lesson, but when he really started playing the role of a pirate, he realized that this kind of role-playing is far less simple than he imagined.

Gongzishun and his men were sea wolves. They could make full use of the weather and geographical elements, and they could always rush out of their hiding place in the shortest time and bite the target merchant ship hard. This was not the conventional water battle that the Wei Wushus were familiar with. Those dark pirate ships were like loaches that were slippery and unstoppable. They could still use gorgeous "dance steps" to bully the target merchant ships. When these vicious sea robbers used the beams of the sails and iron claws

When the ropes rushed onto the target merchant ship and started hand-to-hand combat, Pang Juan's subordinates were still slowly setting up their formation, holding flags, waiting for him to pass the orders to fight an annihilation or an encounter. Although this army changed from a Wei Wushu to a Daqin naval army, they could win the enemy with a righteous victory. The habit of a great army had already been immersed in their bone marrow, and at the same time they were immersed in the bone marrow of Pang Juan's novel + 3., even if they would lose this gambling game in the end, Pang Juan and his Wei Wushu had no shame to fight a bad battle like Gongzishun!

So when Pang Juan's "Tangzheng Army" finally forced a Greek merchant ship to subside, he found that at least five merchant ships had replaced Gongzishun's skeleton flag. The black skeleton fluttered in the wind, and the skeleton mouths that were sometimes big and sometimes small seemed to be mocking his failure.

"It's outrageous! This general is absolutely unwilling to accept it. If he had such a fighting style, wouldn't he be defeated if he met the Greek navy? Is there any way to describe the structure of the battle formation?"

Even if he lost another hundred games, Pang Juan would never use the lifeless and rogue style of playing like Gongzishun. He had no formation, no advance or retreat, or even no reserve. He was simply out of order. It would be a good idea to win like this. If he suffered a defeat, he would be wiped out and would not be taken by famous generals. He was a military genius under Guigu's sect, and he was not a bandit who fought a broken fight at sea!

"Haha, there are 300,000 naval commanders in Greece, all of whom are good sailors growing on the beach. They are familiar with the Mediterranean as if they are familiar with their palm lines. When they face them, General Pang will win? What's more, if you win? The Greeks and Romans have never been able to conquer by force. This is not the Western Regions bordering China! So what we are going to do now is pirates, wolves on the sea. When they encounter a flock of sheep, they must bite them hard and never let go. Haven't you trained for three years? But why don't your Wei Wuzhang dare to rush to the enemy ship to fight hand in hand? They are all the bravest warriors, but when they get on the ship, they are afraid that they will still have weak legs? The land duck is indeed a land duck!"

The young master smiled and said that he could poke Pang Juan's pain point. The Wei Wushu square formation on the sea? That's a joke. Once he left the solid land, the group of Wei Wushu, who was known as the elite in the world, would become unable to fight. The fleet was arranged in a good manner, but he also pulled a strong bow. Unfortunately, he would be weak when encountering a little bigger storm. He would sway when standing on the boat, and he would talk about fighting on the water. Pang Juan's training in the past three years has been really blind. Practicing soldiers in the port of the Mediterranean is a huge joke in the eyes of him, a man who is traversing all over the world.

Pang Juan looked at Gongzishun viciously, but for a moment he had nothing to say. Until Jing Jian smiled and received Bai Dong's reply letter and the two "private licenses" brought by Feiying, he read it carefully, and then he smiled: "Isn't it just a pirate? He can fight, kill people, and earn money. What is Pang's dissatisfaction? Confucius said that there must be my teacher when three people go, and you are better than me when you are a pirate. You are a pirate, so you can listen to your order for a while, but you may not be better than Pang. If you are a normal person, you will not be unable to get along with money. Pang Juan doesn't care about the merits of privateership. Now he is also a high-ranking nobleman who is at least a master. Although he is directly led by Bai Dong, he is not like those ordinary retainers. Banjue is not Zuo Shuchang; but after privateing, he only needs to pay taxes to Qin at 40%, which makes him extremely satisfied. Even if Bai Dong, the Western Lord, has to share some money, his income is quite abundant. For example, the Greek caravan he and Gongzishun robbed, as long as he transported the goods back to Persia, he could directly go to the Bai family and Fan family to cash in. The goods are worth at least 100,000 silver, and he and Gongzishun will have an income of 40,000 to 50,000 silver. If he had been a pirate for a few years, he would be the richest among pirates. Maybe he could build a larger navy in the future. By the way, Bai Dong gave a more powerful name. He would not be called a navy in the future, but a fleet will be changed!

This is the charm of privateer license. Lao Qin is located in the inland area. If he wants to establish an inland navy, he will be innately deficient, just like the weak European maritime countries in the 16th and 17th centuries. Establishing a privateer license system is undoubtedly the best way to solve this problem. Pirates who get privateer license are like loyal dogs who go to find food and eat. They only require a title. They do not need to pay the support of Qin, but also have tax contributions. When these pirates gradually grow and grow, as long as they give them some sweetness, they can be incorporated into Lao Qin's official fleet. It is really a win-win situation.

After receiving Jing Jian's reply, Bai Dong smiled unconsciously and waited to read it. It won't take long to see more pirates in the Mediterranean. At that time, as long as China shows its strength slightly, these guys will rush to express allegiance, and maybe even steal it. Lao Qin is the first to get the moon near the water, and will get an unprecedented sea fleet at the lowest price. At that time, Qi and Chu State are not enough to add up. With these free-range sea wolves, he will not need to worry about the Western world in the next few years, and can devote all his energy to Bashu; compared to the distant West, Bashu is the most important significance to Lao Qin.

***

The busiest person in Qin is not Ying Qu Liang Wei Yang, nor Bai Dong and the Western Regions army who are still rushing to the road, but Zhao Liang, a madman who has just received the order from the king to come to Mei County to be the county magistrate.

Zhao Liang, the reputation of Jingnan, is getting bigger and bigger. Since he met Bai Dong that year and got Bai Dong's support and encouragement to control the Jingshui River, he has become a person who makes Wei Yang love and hate. It is indeed very accessible to love him to manage floods. He hates him to spend money and sell his land without feeling sorry for selling his father's land. Half of the profits obtained from the ten years of reform of Qin State were spent on controlling the Jingwei River. However, with Bai Dong's name, Wei Yang had no good idea to use this ancestor who spent money. Several times, the silver money was slightly too late, and he was scolded by this guy, saying, "Yang is stupid in the world. He has seen it for ten years, but he has no plan for a hundred years!" While this guy was taking money from your pocket, he also pointed at your nose and mocked him. Is there anything more annoying in the world than this?

However, although Zhao Liang spent a lot of money, his reputation for integrity was even taller. An official like him who was in charge of water conservancy did not flow thousands of money from his hands on one day? However, Du Zhi sent someone to check his accounts several times, but he did not miss it. The people in the love affairs department lurked beside him for two years, but they cried and wanted to go back. The life next to Zhao Liang was so sad that he made of wild vegetables and corn could drive people crazy every day. Not to mention them, Zhao Liang also married a wife after becoming an official. As a result, he cried and returned to his parents' home after spending less than a year with him. Passers-by saw him and thought that his new wife was an old beggar.

This time, Bai Dong used troops to Bashu. The army that poured into Meixian alone had no less than 50,000, and there were countless craftsmen. In total, they were afraid that there would be a hundred thousand people. They wanted to settle the army and coordinate logistics and supply matters. There would never be a strong man. A capable minister like Zhao Liang was the only one who was the only one to choose.

It had just rained last night, and the mud on the road had not yet dried. Zhao Liang rode his little donkey and ran to the Meixian workshop. His two subordinates had no way to ride the donkey, so they could only accompany him to fight for life in the mud with deep and shallow. They had long greeted Zhao Liang's eight generations of ancestors. Since the Zhao County Magistrate took office, not to mention that he had no oil and water, even the oil and water in his stomach have been quickly consumed. It would be fine to follow the county magistrate to eat wild vegetable cakes every day, but now they can't sleep well. They really got up earlier than chickens and sleep later than dogs. When they stood in the mud early in the morning, they were blown by the cold wind, and their faces were all blue. If it weren't for Daliang's reforms, they had set up a seating system and fierce punishment in Qin State, and these two people had the heart to eat Zhao Liang raw.

Zhao Liang rode on his little donkey and was eating wild vegetable cakes slowly, but he didn't even look at the two men. He finally put the bitter and astringent wild vegetable cakes into his stomach. Then he burped like enjoyment and said slowly: "Time has arrived. Has the Prince Wang returned?"

The two subordinates were stunned and remembered that today, County Magistrate Wang should gather 2,000 porters from all townships. He thought that the army was in charge of the logistics of the army, and if the time limit was missed, it would be in trouble. County Magistrate Zhao had just eaten the last piece of wild vegetable cake and just passed the hour of Mao, which was the last time limit.

Wang Wenbu in the county smiled and replied: "There should be no news yet. Otherwise, even if the road is muddy, the messenger in the county government should have reported it quickly. I think it was because the heavy rain in the past two days has hindered the journey of Wang County Magistrate."

"Well, you don't need to accompany me to the workshop. Let's go back to the county government and gather together to wait. When the county magistrate returns, he will behead me."

"Beheaded?" Wang Wenbu didn't come back to his senses for a long time. This is a county assistant minister. How could he kill him just by saying that he could kill him? When did the county magistrate of Qin have such power?

"I said I'm beheaded, why? Can't you hear clearly?" Zhao Liang looked at Wang Wenbu, and his eyes were filled with a faint cold light.

"I can hear clearly from my subordinates, so I will turn to the county government."

Facing Zhao Liang's faint gaze, Wang Wenbu felt a chill in his heart. How could he dare to say a little more? (To be continued...)
