Chapter 271: The Road to Regularization
The goblin task force that thought it was here to take on the aftermath was unprepared to engage a strong enemy, and it was naturally pitted by Luo Zhengdao, except for the number of warships that could not represent anything, the goblin fleet could not find the slightest advantage. Those brand-new old wooden battleships rested in front of the ironclad ships with strong guns and guns, basically the two sides took a look at each other, and then they were killed by the opponent's tragic role, for the goblins, today is a big coffee table, on which are all kinds of cups. By the time the goblin army received the news from the front, it was already a foregone conclusion, in short, the devastated mess was already in front of the goblins, and they couldn't pretend not to see it.
Luo Zhengdao, who grabbed a lot of money and hacked the goblin with his hand, temporarily retreated, and the pirates and horse thieves who were burned red by the treasure, as well as the small country that secretly followed the troubled waters to fish, were not so easy to leave.
The tempting gorse treasure has not yet arrived, and they choose to give up now, all the hard work and sacrifice in front of them are in vain, who does this, isn't it a broken braincase? Needless to say, the goblins were harassed and disgusted enough by these guys who didn't belong to each other and fought on their own.
A few families are happy and a few are sad! Ran to eat the big goblins, and in the wave of treasure hunting wantonly amassed a large number of people, the Chuanshan Islands benefited from the success of this robbery plan, the population suddenly increased to more than 400,000, and the prosperity instantly exploded Wake Reef N more than one street, it is conceivable that the vast majority of human slaves are full of gratitude and joy for their rescue. However, there will always be another side to everything, and good things can also evolve into a dilemma that makes people cry and laugh.
At this moment, the bureaucrats and small and medium-sized nobles of the old era, who had hidden their identities in the slave camps, also jumped out one after another, demanding special treatment and arrangements in line with their status, in order to continue their privileged position.
Limited to the rise of the time is too short, the second goblin empire is far from creating a monolithic ruling order, the pursuit and killing policy is mainly to choose those exiled nobles who have fled overseas, and the human nobles who pretend to be ordinary slaves have not yet had time to screen, large and small fish are indispensable, these guys who have just regained their freedom have become troublemakers that Luo Zhengdao has to face.
Those who have the ability will not be willing to be slaves, because the slavery system itself is a great humiliation, and there is no need to guess too much about what kind of person can be kneeling and trembling on the land under the boots of the alien army, and this group of people gathered together to argue with Luo Zhengdao, which really surprised him.
Born into a noble family, as the sole heir, he ran away to become a pirate, fought his way through the sky's blood and endless slaughter, such a legendary personal deed, and opened the history books of the new world, even in the absurd bard tales to find not many precedents. Luo Zhengdao can still struggle to get up with such a heavy pressure on his body, not to mention that he is a traverser, even if he is an indigenous resident, the master with this ability to resist pressure and work hard will not be a wreck without opinions! What made Luo Zhengdao feel unbelievable was that those muddy balls saw that he would obediently offer power with both hands and be willing to treat them like an uncle? That's too narcissistic, isn't it?
Luo Zhengdao thought about it and could only attribute these strange behaviors to institutional problems, and he complained to Vina Dubov in private:
"That Emperor was too indulgent of these balls, right? Is this how they have developed the habit of hooliganism? Playing scoundrels with me, who do they think they are? β
had to take into account his own status, although Luo Zhengdao was accusing these nobles of being spoiled, he still used honorifics when mentioning the old emperor of the Guangming Dynasty who died in a daze. The half-elf beauty nestled in his arms was like a lazy cat, and whispered:
ββ¦β¦ His Majesty did not like to run the country, and his hobby was carpenter. β
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao rolled his eyes, recalled those famous non-professional rulers in the history of the old world, and sighed and said:
"Well, I knew it was like this. Next time, we must beat out these few petitions, forcing Lao Tzu to change the name of the country, they want to be nobles to propose to the goblins! β
Vina Dubov chuckled twice at the angry Luo Zhengdao, comforted him and said:
"Your Highness, don't be angry, these bastards are not ordinary people, and it is inappropriate for you to do this."
He was already so angry with these brazen second goods that he didn't care about the consequences, and after taking a few deep breaths, Luo Zhengdao steadied his feelings, stroked his forehead with his hand and said:
"Alright! Tomorrow I will sue them, and I will accept the petition. β
Compared with those toads on their feet, the old and young relics of the Guangming Dynasty who are specially here to disgust people, Luo Zhengdao has a lot of serious things to deal with at the moment, and the expansion of his power is a good thing, but when the stall is bigger, he has to change his management method to adapt to the new form. The difficulty of governing a city and managing a country is not at all on a level, the kind of country with only one city has nothing to say, the difficulty of big country politics is that there are too many factors that need to be balanced, often press down the gourd and scoop up, the so-called catch is dead and let go of chaos, complex Cheng dΓΉ can be comparable to the deepest mathematical problems.
At the regular meeting the next day, Luo Zhengdao threw out the latest maintenance plan, and said nominally at the beginning:
"We have two privateer fleets now, which is not good."
Zola Hegel rubbed his head in confusion and asked:
"Is it confusing? No, it won't! β
Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao patiently explained:
"I mean, it doesn't make sense to keep two privateer fleets at the same time, and we should build our own naval fleet."
Although this plan sounded good, Brando Scarlet Yan took it with a grain of salt, saying:
"Your Highness, if you just change the name, does it make any difference?"
"Yes, of course there is."
In Old World international law, the deck of a warship could be treated as a moving piece of land, and the special treatment that no other weapon, including nuclear bombs, could enjoy, was enough to prove that the navy played a pivotal role in the national machinery.
The army can be attacked and defended, if you want to completely conquer a land, it is pure nonsense if there is no army, the air force soars above the clouds, it is a high-end atmosphere, but it is only the power of a thunderous blow, and it is not easy to maintain its own existence for a long time. Among the army, navy, and air force, the navy is the only military force that can push its own guns to the enemy's coastline, blockade it until it suffocates the opponent, ensure the supply of the world's resources, and accumulate money from trade. Therefore, the value of the navy's survival is not only superficial ships and guns galloping across the ocean, but also depriving the enemy of the right to use the freedom of navigation in the sea, and dying a painful death in a slow and deadly continuous strangulation, which is the meaning of mastering the supremacy of the sea.
A navy must have military ranks, uniforms and military regulations, and the pirate democracy of the grass-laid team of the privateer fleet in the past has to stand aside, the problem is to let those sailors who are used to herding sheep accept discipline, Luo Zhengdao really has no bottom in his heart, if he doesn't cut off the brains of a few early birds, I'm afraid they will never be able to twist this strength.
The uniform and neat uniforms are clearly one of the main characteristics that distinguishes the navy from paramilitary forces such as pirates and privateers, and the chaotic rabble cannot match the navy in any way.
In order to meet his aesthetic needs, Luo Zhengdao, who had little left of the festival, decisively took out the spirit of copycats and made the most representative sea soul shirt and big-brimmed hat of the old world navy together. According to the trial feedback of sailors, wearing a comfortable and loose sea soul shirt is a more popular new invention, and the large-brimmed hat has a tendency to be somewhat unaccustomed to the soil due to the fact that sailors generally have long hair. Until Luo Zhengdao had to issue a supplementary regulation, announcing that from now on, all officers and soldiers of the Navy are not allowed to have long hair, taking into account gender differences, women can get immunity, as for men, no one can be an exception, the length of hair must not exceed one inch, violators are corrected within a time limit, otherwise they will be fined monthly and deducted from their wages.
The hair was trimmed, and of course the rest of the body had to keep up, and along with the beard. This problem can be ignored for the time being on the premise of water shortage when going to sea, and soldiers must shave and maintain personal hygiene every day when the warship is berthed in port, which is also written into the new version of the naval code of conduct
"Will, what's wrong with you?"
When he walked out of the room after the meeting, Luo Zhengdao's body suddenly twitched, and the half-elf beauty who followed him supported him, while the Yaling Overseer, whose face was as cold as ice, watched coldly, without any intention of stepping forward to help.
Luo Zhengdao, who had not yet lost consciousness, turned pale and said in a low voice:
"I'm feeling a little sick, Vina, help me back to my room."
Although she didn't know the ins and outs of the Aragami curse, Vina Dubov knew very much about Luo Zhengdao's mysterious curse, but she looked at Luo Zhengdao from close range, who continued to have a high fever in his sleep, and at this moment, the skin on his body was constantly peeling off at the size of a thumb nail, like an invisible sharp knife peeling off his skin inch by inch. This horror scene comparable to a horror movie is terrifying to watch, and it is not because the half-elf beauty has seen many different details, but the content is also terrifying curse scene, I am afraid that even she will exclaim.
Vina Dobov soaked a silk scarf with a worried face, carefully wiped Luo Zhengdao's bright red muscle fibers exposed hateful face, and whispered:
"Will, how many secrets do you have that you can't tell anyone?"
"Ahh
As if he had exhausted all his strength, he took a deep breath, lying flat on the bed, Luo Zhengdao's chest with a hideous face arched upwards suddenly, and then he opened his eyes panting heavily, and the rapid wheezing sound like pulling a bellows sounded very penetrating. Pieces of skin peeling off all over the body, nerves exposed to the air, and even the slightest movement of air from a wave of the cuff can feel as painful as a knife, and this taste of ten thousand swords is enough to drive people crazy N times. Fortunately, his spirit is also affected by the legalization of the magic card master, and the safety threshold between sanity and madness is not comparable to normal people, otherwise what the half-elf beauty can see at this moment will be a poor worm that is completely driven crazy by pain.
Seeing a gleam in Luo Zhengdao's eyes, Vina Dubov, who had taken a few steps back, made sure that he had regained his senses, so he walked over with a glass of water and said:
"Will, drink some water!"
Similar to the miserable appearance of being chased by a wild beast to get rid of his strength, Luo Zhengdao looked down at his hands that did not look like a human, and couldn't help but sigh and said:
"Huhu, I'm not dead yet!"
Hearing this, the half-elf beauty said melancholy:
"Well, the curse on you seems to have flareed up even more."
"Yes! I can feel ...... too."
Vina Dobov did not want to become a widow at a young age, she hesitated for a moment, and then said:
ββ¦β¦ Haven't you considered a way to lift the curse? β
Hearing this expected inquiry, Luo Zhengdao looked very helpless, spread his hands and said:
"I've thought about it, but the general solution doesn't work, maybe I can try another way, maybe ......"
