Chapter 420: Preparing to Build Overseas Bases 2

Lu Ning continued to Wei Yan: "Wen Chang, there are also the craftsmen and books sent by Smith. You must bring back our business-style. For those 30,000 slaves, you tell them that as long as they work well, we will remove their slaves according to their performance, and pay attention to their work. For good slaves, you can choose three or five thousand people to train them and train them into an extremely powerful mercenary. In addition, I will also leave Beckham for you. This kid should have a very good way of training soldiers, but you must control him well. You must not make any mistakes. If Smith does it,

After the new centurion, you can send Beckham back to Bingzhou and let him go to Bingzhou to train our infantry. You must note that the mercenary soldiers you train will fight overseas in the future. It is very likely that they will fight with you in the future. You must pay attention to their physical fitness. If you fail to meet the requirements, you must not join the mercenary. Now you must also educate them politically so that they will be loyal to our Han Han and be loyal to our Han people. As long as they make military achievements, we can give them the household registration card of our Han, and then they can survive in the jurisdiction of our Han, and they can also take on their wife and have children."

Wei Yan said: "It's the lord."

Guo Jia then said, "Wen Chang, there is another thing, that is, among the 30,000 slaves, there are two or three thousand women. These are military prostitutes. You should ask the doctor to help them check their health regularly. Never get venereal disease in the end. Of course, the lord also said that these two or three thousand military prostitutes are not used as prostitutes for life. As long as they serve for one or two years, they can give them freedom and also give them the household registration status of our Han Dynasty. If they think about our Han life, we will send them here, after all, they have made contributions to us."

Lu Ning continued Guo Jia's words: "Wen Chang, you can't bully those military prostitutes. Being military prostitutes is also a contribution to us. We must respect them and let them eat and dress well at any time. When they are sick, they must ask a doctor to help them treat them. After their service period expires, they can get married and have children. If you find that slaves or soldiers bully them, then you have to make decisions for them. Just do what you should do."

Wei Yan said: "Lord, I'm worried about everything, just because I can't recognize the quality of the craftsmen and books Smith sent, just because I'm afraid that Smith will play tricks on us, and we will lose a lot if we are a widow."

After hearing this, Lu Ning thought about it and thought it would not be. After all, Smith wanted to establish a long-term trading relationship with Lu Ning and the others. He would not kill Lu Ning and the others because of temporary gains and losses. "Don't worry, Wen Chang, I don't think Smith would not do such a thing. He also wants to make a lot of gold coins from us. Once the craftsmen and books he sent were fake, we would terminate our dealings with him. This is a huge lack of money for him, and he can no longer earn our gold coins. Moreover, the price I offered him also gives him a lot of money to make. He will not lose big money because of small things, unless he doesn't want to continue trading with us."

Wei Yan thought for a while and asked again: "Lord, we are stationed here. If there are Roman troops coming here, what should we do? And what if Fars Province and our army turn against each other, we should be amazed?"

After hearing this, Lu Ning laughed and then said, "Long Wen, you can consider the handling of these unexpected events now. It's great, which means I'm not wrong about you. As for Fars Province? Generally, they will not rebel against us. After all, this does not benefit them. They will only benefit them. Of course, if there is a rebellion, then you should first consider the safety of your own and your hands' lives. Others can be considered later. But don't worry, I will send a navy to garrison here immediately after I go back. As long as our navy is here, you will not be in any danger. You can all transfer safely and leave here smoothly. If the Roman army comes here, the general situation

In the case, you must stand on the standpoint of Fars Province and fight with them. If it is time to start a war, then let go of your hands and feet. But be sure to pay attention to your own safety. If the Roman army does not use swords against our army, we will not be in a hurry to take the initiative to fight. But please listen to me. Once you decide to start a war, you must attack me hard and exert the military power of our great man. And you must play the role of our long-range attack weapons. It is best not to fight closely with Roman soldiers. Close combat will not take advantage of our soldiers; if it is in the sea, it is also to fully utilize the mobility of our navy. We cannot get close to Roman warships. We must use long-range weapons to attack them and eliminate them in the distance."

As soon as Lu Ning finished speaking, Guo Jia continued, "Wen Chang, you must remember what the Lord told you just now. I heard from the lord that the Roman soldiers' individual combat capabilities are stronger than our soldiers. You must be careful and make full use of the excellent performance of our army's weapons and equipment, so that you will not easily suffer losses; and you stay away from the Central Plains, and you must not fight in love, stop when you see it is better, and you must not be greedy for merits and make progress."

After hearing this, Wei Yan said, "Lord, Chief, I know what to do. Please rest assured. I will never let my lord down and I must complete the task."

Guo Jia then said, "Wen Chang, there is another thing. You should learn the local language quickly. In addition, the 30,000 slaves in the church speak Chinese, which is very beneficial for commanding them in the future. At the same time, your soldiers must be on duty at any time and tell the soldiers on duty to cheer up and never make any mistakes."

Wei Yan replied: "It's the chief."

After listening to the conversation between Lu Ning and the others, Zhou Tai also said, "Wen Chang, you are still lucky. After only a few days of being with your lord, you will have the opportunity to lead troops to garrison such an important place independently. Brother, I am so depressed. I don't know when I will have such a good opportunity to complete it independently."

After hearing this, Lu Ning burst into laughter and looked at Zhou Tai. Then he said slowly: "Youping, why don't you? Every general has to do to garrison overseas. You will take turns to come overseas. Besides, haven't I told you before that your first target of conquest is to be in a state of no country. But at present, our army has no extra troops to fight. Once our army can withdraw enough troops, I am still worried that you will not be able to conquer. There are too many places waiting for our army to conquer. Many places must be conquered. These places are very important to the safety of our Han people. At that time, you will become the heroes of our Han people who have spread the territory and will be famous in history."

After hearing this, Guo Jia also said: "My lord is right. Our army's current conquest is too far and we cannot draw out any extra troops. Moreover, this cross-sea conquest is a war that our Han people have never experienced before. We must be fully prepared to carry out, and we must formulate a complete set of combat plans. There are many problems that must be solved, especially the supply problem is a big problem. When our army goes overseas to fight, the entire logistics support is basically not available. They must fight independently and bear all difficulties independently. If any problem arises, our army will suffer great losses. Our army must fight a sure war, and of course we must also consider the timing of the war and consider the problem in full."

After hearing this, Lu Ning said in a heavy mood: "This time you have come here, you have a certain understanding of the power of the Roman Empire. The current Roman Empire has a much larger territory than that of our Han Dynasty. It is actually the most powerful country in the West. The entire Mediterranean even became its inner lake. Hundreds of years ago, the Romans only owned a city, but through hundreds of years of external conquests and expansion, they have now become the most powerful empire in the world. This should make us think deeply. The high-ranking officials, nobles, scholars, and even the old emperors of our Han Dynasty are still intoxicated by their own enjoyment; the princes are fighting for civil wars. This is the misfortune of our Han nation and the sorrow of our Han nation."

After hearing this, Guo Jia also looked heavy and said helplessly: "My lord is right. Although I don't know how powerful Rome is, I can imagine the power of Persia just by looking at the strength of the Fars Province. In the past, Persia was much stronger than my great man, but later it was conquered by other countries. Persia now dared not fight against Rome. Then, it can be imagined that Rome is indeed extremely powerful. If I had not seen it with my own eyes, I would not have known that there was such a powerful empire outside, and I would have thought that there was such a huge territory outside the Central Plains, and we were all frogs in the well. If my great man was not strong anymore, then Rome overseas would have left us behind. It would be too late to then; we should be awake and no longer be deceived. We all must have a sense of urgency and crisis, and use our short life to contribute to the prosperity of the Han people."

Lu Ning and his team have been in Fars Province for nearly two months, and it has been eight months since they went to sea. In addition to the soldiers and sailors on the ship, they all knew that this trip was going back to the Han Dynasty, so all the work was carried out very hard. A few days later, all the transactions on the ship were completed. 100 Arab war horses were loaded on the ship; and the 200 Damascus steel knives and the huge number of more than 4 million gold coins were loaded on the warship; there were more than 10,000 books; and more than 1,200 slaves. In addition, some wine was loaded on the ship. After everything was ready, Lu Ning and his team bid farewell to Wei Yan, Du Gang, Oman and the 500 soldiers left behind, took a group of people, and set off to sail towards the Han Dynasty.
