Chapter 1429: Naval Battle (2)
"I'm not going to identify myself. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Zhao Hu spit out a sentence lightly.
"Uh...... Do you know the details of the other party? How many warships are there in Bright Moon City? How many soldiers, do you know all this? If you rush to attack with your troops like this, it is easy for the other party to be wiped out! ”
Peter spokesperson persuaded Zhao Hu bitterly, in his opinion, Zhao Hu's dispatch of troops at this moment is simply chaos, if the smuggling activities cannot be carried out, at most there is no extra money, as long as they stay in the empire, the city lord of Mingyue is helpless against them.
And even if the war starts, it doesn't matter if Zhao Hu is destroyed, but the most feared thing is that those militiamen who followed Zhao Hu and had the status of the imperial army were captured by the other party.
Once the other party knows his identity, as long as he shouts at the outside world, his boss and his staff will definitely not be able to eat and walk around! For his own sake, he must stop Zhao Hu from starting this war.
"Hey, who said we didn't know the details of Bright Moon City?" Zhou Wen, who saw that Peter's spokesperson was not pleasing to the eye, immediately interjected and said: "Do you think that when we captured those Qingyue Water Army, we just treated them as ancestors and waited for them to eat and drink all the way?" We're not so stupid! To tell you, we have already figured out the situation in Bright Moon City! ”
"What! Have you figured out all the information? How can I ......" Peter's spokesman immediately swallowed back the following words when he said this, he was only the spokesman for the smuggling activities of the governor of Peter Province, and he was really not qualified to ask about the fact that this officer's territory was privately waging war with the outside world.
At the same time, since he still decided to go to war after knowing the other party's situation, it shows that Zhao Hu thinks that there is a chance to win, and even Peter's spokesperson, a civil official, understands this common sense.
Therefore, he did not continue to ask, but sighed and said: "Alas, since the lord is confident, then I wish the lord a victory, please allow me to leave first, how can such a major matter be reported to the provincial governor." ”
Kate's spokesperson also said goodbye to Zhao Hu, but when he left, he also proposed that it would be best to join forces with the army sent by the division commander, but after Zhao Hu politely refused, he didn't say anything more.
He thought the same as Peter's spokesperson, since Zhao Hu dared to do this, he definitely had a chance to win, since this was the case, then he didn't have to trouble the division commander with a lot of trouble, anyway, the benefits of winning were indispensable to the local division.
When Zhao Hu sent the two spokespersons away, his order just now had already been conveyed to the entire Zhao Hu Ling. After receiving the order, the leader of Zhao Hu's subordinates who stayed behind, although he didn't know what was going on, still carried out the order as soon as possible.
The servants who trained the cavalry on the seashore did not need to prepare much after receiving the order, and rushed to the dock in whole formation, and then boarded the ship with men and horses. Then Juan, who was always watching the situation, also moved quickly and rushed to the boat with the militia left behind.
And the slowest should be Sun Jie and other personal guards who escorted the prisoners off the ship after the spokesperson left, but no one laughed at their slow movements, because while escorting the prisoners, they also had to pick a large number of excellent sailors from the local captive labor.
The addition of these sailors immediately restored the half-paralyzed flotilla. Of course, there were prisoners who could control the twenty battleships, siege crossbows, and catapults, and Kaihai was one of them.
The soldiers who participated in the battle, the militia from the Imperial Army, and the sailors from the rogue didn't have to worry about Zhao Hu, what made Zhao Hu pay attention was the servant soldiers from the prairie.
Although they also began to learn to swim, they could not avoid the situation before they had been in a boat, no, the boat had not yet started, but the slight shaking of the waves made their faces look ugly.
Zhao Hu saw that although these grassland men were uncomfortable, they still endured the discomfort and pulled their mounts to stay in the cabin, Zhao Hu didn't say anything to this, just patted the shoulders of a few servant soldiers and turned to leave.
Zhao Hu knew very well that these servant soldiers could be said to be the basis of Zhao Huling's force, and without them, Zhao Huling's combat effectiveness would be reduced by at least half.
And these steppe men silently followed him, even if they died in a foreign land far from their homeland, they had no regrets, and they could not express their gratitude for the feeling they felt about treating them like this.
Not to mention that they won't accept their gratitude, just showing these gratitude is enough to make the meaning taste bad, so you can only keep these feelings deep in your heart.
Most of the militia led by Zhao Hu were from the regular army, so the speed was fast, and in a short time, more than a hundred sea ships were full of personnel.
Although it was a little overloaded, under the guarantee of the Liukou sailors, Zhao Hu waved his hand, and the fleet sailed to the southeast peninsula again.
There are dozens of taverns on the port of Mingyue City, which is a relatively prosperous area outside of Mingyue City.
Of course, these taverns are not high-end, and the powerful and rich people of Bright Moon City will not appear in the dock tavern.
Therefore, these taverns can be said to be the equivalent of the exclusive places of the rogues, and they are all noisy places.
In one of the taverns, all the seats were full of guests, and the space between the tables was also crowded with people, and judging by the clothes of these guests, they were all from rogue backgrounds.
Although there was nothing on their table except for inferior wine and cheap seafood, these people still ate and drank vigorously, and shouting loudly was inevitable, and quarrels and fights were frequent, and the whole tavern was full of smoke and miasma.
The tavern owner hid under the counter and grinned and counted the coins, not bothering to pay attention to whether the rogues were fighting or killing and setting fires.
Anyway, my tavern is not worth any money at all, as long as my cash cabinet is not robbed, then there is nothing to lose.
"Boss! Give me good wine and good food! Lao Tzu wants to entertain his brother well. ”
The boss's favorite sentence came into his ears, and he looked up happily, his face changed, revealing a mocking look, and he said in a strange voice: "Maude, why are you so generous this time?" But as you know, my shop is a small business......"
The conversation between the boss and Maud attracts the attention of the rogue around them.
A few rogues who knew Maude and were a little dazed immediately laughed loudly: "Maude, don't slap your swollen face and become fat, this broken tavern can have a pot of wine and a fish is a high-end product, what other good wine and good food do you want?" The boss quit and sneered: "Broken tavern? Hum! He took out a bottle of wine and put it on the counter and yelled, "Look what this is!" Heroic blood of the Liberty League! It's not that I don't have good food and wine in this tavern, but you bunnies can't afford it! ”
When everyone was looking at the blood-bright liquid in the glass bottle next to the counter, Kuang Chang screamed, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on the counter, only to see a few oval-shaped metal sheets, beating near the wine bottle.
Seeing the golden light, everyone subconsciously gasped, gold coins!
In this tavern, you can actually use gold coins to spend! There's so much money that there's no place to use it? You know, that hero's blood only needs one silver coin!
And Maude said shocking words with a relaxed face at the moment: "Let's get some food and drinks for the sake of this money, and you don't need to look for more." ”
Several of his subordinates behind him also showed indifferent expressions, as if they had thrown a few copper coins, but the smug look on their faces could be seen by anyone.
The boss's face changed immediately, and he quickly put the gold coin into his arms, and said with a flattering face: "Boss Maude, please take a seat, good wine and good food will come soon." ”
The noise of the tavern was immediately quiet, and everyone looked at Maud and the party.
I saw them move Sven, a little aristocratic pouring small wine glasses to taste, and at this time, everyone found that Maude was all brightly dressed, and there was a beautiful saber at his waist, and his own people compared to them, it was simply heaven and earth.
Of course, Maude noticed the demeanor of the people around him, and whispered proudly: "Look, can the same consumption of a few gold coins cause such a sensation in the tavern in the city?"
"If we do this in the city, those powerful people will definitely despise us nouveau riche, how can they enjoy the feeling of being watched like this."
Maude's subordinates immediately patted their ass and said: "Hehe, the boss is wise, the boss just threw the gold coin, that is handsome, I can see that their eyes are glaring, and many people's eyes are green!" It really makes me feel fluttering. ”
"Now you know how wise and powerful I am, right? At the beginning, you guys still had opinions about taking refuge in the lord, if it wasn't for Lao Tzu's quick decision, how could there be the days when you came to the tavern to spend gold coins in bright clothes? Maud said smugly.
"Yes, yes, the boss is wise, I might as well wait." Maude's men immediately bowed their heads in admiration.
A subordinate with a more flexible brain suddenly remembered something and asked: "By the way, boss, the lord asked us to exchange gold coins for copper coins, and we directly exchanged them for gold coins here, will we disobey the lord's order?" ”
Maude smiled: "Hey, do you think Lao Tzu intercepted the funds given by the lord privately?" Your boss and I are not so stupid, this is a reward from the lord, you guys each have a net worth of more than ten gold coins, where will you boss and I go less, so eat and drink with peace of mind. ”
"Hehe, we just don't want to anger the lord, boss, what other tasks does the lord have besides exchanging copper coins and recruiting shipwrights? We all want to make more merit, you must know that merit determines our financial status. ”
