Both sides benefited, each took what he needed, and the atmosphere in the banquet became better and better.

Kong Yingda also made an exception to drink a few glasses, this kind of Jiangnan Huadiao wine is different from the wine in Guanzhong, and it is different from the wine of the Fang family, which has a different taste, and Lao Kong likes it very much. After drinking a few cups, Lao Kong looked up at the "Official Motto" above the main hall and praised it very much.

"Concise and to the point, pointing to the essence of officialdom, the writing is good, and the words are better."

Pei Xingjian, who accompanied the wine, took the opportunity to say: "Master, the previous student talked to Hou Ye about the way of being an official, and Hou Ye said that the inactive Qing officials are not as good as the corrupt officials who are greedy and bad, and the students are puzzled, please ask the master to solve their doubts." ”

Kong Yingda was quite surprised and glanced at Fang Jun on one side, and said solemnly to Pei Xingjian: "When it comes to talent in handling affairs, the old man thinks that you are far above Fang Jun, but when it comes to the understanding of people's hearts and the world, Fang Jun is far above you. There is no absolute good and evil in this world, let alone absolute right and wrong. Good intentions can do bad things, bad people are not useless, the way of the world lies in moderation, in neutralization. Joy, anger, sorrow and joy have not yet occurred, which is said to be in the middle; It is said to be the sum of the middle sections. Those who are in the middle are also the great capital of the world; Those who are harmonious are also the way of the world. To neutralize, heaven is in the ascendancy, and all things are nurtured. ”

Pei Xingjian could hear the clouds and mountains and fog, but Kong Yingda didn't say much. The truth in the world is always contrary to the propaganda worldview, which is indeed embarrassing, and if you continue to talk about it, you will be suspected of teaching bad children......

Some things are not clear, only when you are there, the meaning is self-evident.

After the five flavors of the dish, Kong Yingda's spirit was a little sluggish, so Fang Jun ordered the banquet to be withdrawn and told Kong Yingda to rest. After a tiring journey down the river, Kong Yingda was very sleepy, so he waved his hand to drive Fang Jun away. Now that the school has not yet started, Kong Yingda temporarily lives in the town office.

When Fang Jun was leaving, Kong Yingda said if he could go to the address of the school tomorrow, but Fang Jun said: "The master will rest for two days first, and the juniors will have a big business in these two days, and after they are completed, they will naturally accompany the master to go around left and right." ”

Kong Yingda rebuked with some hatred that iron is not steel: "How can you be full of copper in your heart at a young age? A good and delicate heart has been tainted by the smell of copper, and I don't know what it means, tyrannical things! ”

Fang Jun was very flattered by these words, but he didn't expect that his status in Kong Yingda's heart was not low......

"It's not a junior philistine, it's really a saint, and I have to do it."

"Oh? Your Majesty's will? I don't know what kind of business can make His Majesty decree? ”

"Ordered to rob."

"What?"

Kong Yingda was dumbfounded.

*****

"Master Hou, when did Your Majesty issue an order for us to rob?"

In the camp of the sailor, Pei Xingjian asked Fang Jun in confusion.

Fang Jun rolled his eyes: "We are the Royal Sailor, that is, Your Majesty's private army, not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, only obeying Your Majesty's orders." Nowadays, there are seafarers who gather in the middle of the sea, plundering passing merchant ships, trying to kill their lives, we go to clear and suppress, robbing their enemy funds for their own use, which is the so-called 'robbery by order'! ”

Pei Xingjian Khan ......

Listening to Fang Junzhen's nonsense, Pei Xingjian knew that the first naval battle of the sailor was coming.

After arriving in Huating Town, Fang Jun paid attention to collecting all kinds of information, especially the information of maritime merchants. In the past few days, there have been many maritime business reactions, and there have been many sea tsunamas gathering on the islands of the middle of the sea, plundering passing merchant ships, and they are very arrogant.

Su Dingfang and the others also had strange faces, and they slandered Fang Jun's nonsense.

A good guy went to sea to suppress bandits, but if he wanted to say that he was robbing by order, he didn't know what was going on in his head......

However, Fang Jun has always spoken amazingly, and it is not strange.

Su Dingfang asked: "Now that the sailor division has just begun, there are 3,500 soldiers, more than 300 warships of all kinds, and there are only a few pirates, so it is not a big problem. It's just that although the last general is the governor of the navy, he has never experienced water warfare, so I don't know what naval warfare skills the chief can use to teach me? ”

At present, the entire Datang naval army is extremely backward.

The former Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, although a large number of elite naval soldiers were trained, but more of them were killed in several battles. The participating sailors gradually fell silent and disappeared in the turbulent environment of the late Sui Dynasty. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, all the focus has been on dealing with threats on land, and the naval army has almost been abandoned.

In the end, it led to the dilemma of an extreme shortage of talents in water warfare.

You must know that decades ago, the sailors of the Great Sui Dynasty had fought all over the East invincible......

Originally, the soldiers in Huating Town were almost negligible, since Yang Xiuwu became the commander, he had no intention of training the soldiers at all, and even the daily maintenance of the warship was abandoned, so what kind of water warfare did he know?

Fang Jun was also scratching his head when asked by Su Dingfang, where did he know what method of water warfare?

"Ben Hou is from a civil official family, where does he know what water warfare? Liu Renyuan, isn't your family a generation of military generals guarding the frontier, you can tell me. ”

Liu Renyuan looked dazed: "Chief Administrator, my family's generations of military generals are not fake, but they are all riding horses, archery, spears and knives, how can I fight in the water?" Except for the daily exercises on the road when I came, I have never seen it! ”

No one understands water warfare......

However, Fang Jun didn't care about this, it was a big deal to train with battle, and use these sea thieves to practice their hands, and when the sea thieves were almost cleared, this sailor was probably reborn.

The reason why Fang Jun does not pay attention to the current method of water warfare is because of his own army building plan. In his plan, this new type of sailor is completely different from the previous sailors, whether it is a new sail warship or a musket, artillery and other weapons that will be equipped on a large scale, it will bring epoch-making changes to the original method of water warfare.

Even if they are now a group of elites who are proficient in water warfare, and soon become new weapons and equipment troops, they will still become novices, and they still have to learn from scratch.

Now the primary purpose is to improve the self-confidence and cohesion of these rookie trolls......

"What is the strength of this gang of pirates?" Fang Jun asked.

Pei Xingjian, who was in charge of sorting out the intelligence, said: "There are more than 20 sea ships of all kinds, including ten warships, which are the naval warships of the former Sui Dynasty, and I don't know where they came from. The number of people was about two hundred, all of them were brave and good at fighting, and they were ruthless, and many of the plundered maritime merchants were shipwrecked and killed, and few people were left alive. ”

Fang Jun slapped the table: "That's right!" Our ships are bigger than theirs, there are more people than theirs, and there are more people than theirs, this is crushing! What more trolls do you need? ”

For all kinds of military tactics, Fang Jun really doesn't know anything.

In his previous life, he was a half-military fan, looking at machine guns and cannons when he was fine, and looking at aircraft and warships, but who would study various tactics?

What's more, Fang Jun has always been a believer in the "equipment theory", believing that when the equipment is strong to a certain extent, it can form a crushing situation, and the tactical advantage will be weakened indefinitely.

Especially in this era of backward science and technology, as long as your ship is fast enough, big enough, and strong enough, the two armies face each other, and the artillery salvo musket roars, and it is a crushing posture against any naval army.

Just like when he encountered the Turkic wolf rider twice in the Western Regions, he knows the tactics of a fart? At that time, in the face of the charge of the Turkic wolf horse, the two forces were scared, but as a result, the "earth-shaking thunder" was thrown like this, and it was not a victory?

Su Dingfang and Liu Renliang glanced at each other, and they agreed with Fang Jun's opinion.

There is no way, the current situation of the sailor is like this, and the entire Tang Dynasty can't find a decent navy general, and the famous generals of the navy in the past either changed their careers to become cavalry or thought that the navy has no future and refused to come.

can only rely on his own slowly groping, and slowly summarize a set of effective naval tactics.

Pei Xingjian looked at the sketchy map hanging on the wall, and said worriedly: "There are many islands in the sea, and the waterways are complicated, if the thieves avoid fighting and rely on the terrain to maneuver with us, it will be very bad. ”

Haizhongzhou is the Zhoushan Islands in later generations, and it has always been famous for its many islands. If you don't have a local guide, it's easy to get lost and lose your route, just like being trapped in a maze, and you can't get out of it!

However, Fang Jun has already prepared for this: "Ben Hou has already made arrangements, and he will definitely let Haikou have nothing to hide!" ”

At this moment, the soldiers outside the door came to report: "Xuzhou Guo is to be sealed, Jiangzhou Xue Rengui, ask to see you outside the gate!" ”
