Everyone was shaken by Wanyan Zongshu's words, and everyone's faces showed excitement, and some people couldn't help but howl with their knives. In the past six months or so, the Donghu people have not made any big gains on the Wei army, on the contrary, they have been pressed by the other side step by step, and the strategic space has repeatedly shrunk.

If you can defeat the Wei army in front of you, then all the troubles will be solved, and then you don't have to think about avoiding the main force of the Wei army, and you don't dare to attack the state and plunder the capital, and even directly surround the Wei people's Beijing division......

Chechen Khan smiled coldly, urging the war horse to continue to move forward, the Wei army dug a trench stretching for twenty or thirty miles in the Jinzhou area in order to prevent the Donghu assault, the long ditch is deep and wide, the war horse can not jump over, these long ditches were the most headache obstacle for the Donghu army before, but now they are to be transformed into their own use, used to frustrate the Wei army's spirit!

……

Deng Wenjun and Lu Sihai stayed in the Eastern Domain for more than ten days, and saw more merchant ships coming and going in the port of Penghu and the nearby waters.

Both former pirate leaders were envious...... Wang Zhi's previous foundation was part of Siam, and in the other countries of Champa and Chenla, he divided the territory of Nanyang and Southeast Asia with Kang Tianqi in the Wa Kingdom, Liu Dan and Yan Qi in Luzon, and Pu Xingfeng in Manchuka.

The situation here in the Eastern Domain is similar to the sea surface of the South Seas, the sea is blue, the water and the sky are the same color, the weather is warm, and the two men from Liaoxi have long been unable to wear cotton jackets, so they wear jackets instead, even so, in late March, when walking on the boat in jackets, the slightest movement will be full of sweat.

There are many merchant ships passing by, and several ships pass by every day, sometimes even a dozen at once.

According to the size of the ship, the collection ranges from 3,000 to 5,000 guan, and the maximum is to collect 5,000 guan, which is determined according to the size of the fortune ship, sand ship, and Guangdong ship at that time.

At least judging from the expressions of the shipowners and shipowners, they are willing to pay this tax, and the coastal defense donation is collected first and then stopped, and then stopped, and then collected, and one thing that can be determined is that the naval division of the government completely controlled the coastal waters of the Great Wei Dynasty and the sea surface in the area of Zhiwa, Zhenla, Champong, and Siam...... At least it is the sea surface of the Wa Kingdom controlled by Kang Tianqi, and the sea vacuum left by Wang Zhi, before Yan Qi's subordinates came to fill the gap, looted the maritime merchants, killed people and crossed the goods, after the naval battle of the Eastern Domain, these pirates also shrank and converged, and disappeared at all, and the territory left by Wang Zhi was taken over by the government army and sailors.

"Calculate it like this...... Lu Sihai shook his head and said: "At least five or six hundred thousand yuan a month, five or six million to six million to six or seven million yuan a year, amazing, amazing." ”

Lu Sihai looked at Deng Wenjun and said: "As soon as this coastal defense is donated, the rest of the forces on the Great Wei Sea are completely lost, and the naval division of the government army will only get stronger and stronger...... Damn, why didn't we know about collecting donations back then, and we knew about coercion and robbery? ”

Deng Wenjun also laughed, the water masters here in the Eastern Domain are rapidly becoming stronger with the naked eye, and they have only been here for more than ten days.

I saw with my own eyes that batches of artillery were cast and transported to the ship...... This is very easy for the Eastern Domain, where there are ready-made iron mines and coal factories in the middle, and it is too easy to turn over the sand and make molds and cast cannons. According to Fu Qian, in fact, the more stable and better quality is the bronze artillery, but the cost of bronze in these years is unimaginable to ordinary people, there are not many copper reserves in the territory of the Great Wei, at least with the current level of excavation and means can not obtain enough copper, a large amount of copper is used to mint money, maintain the number of copper coins in the territory of the Great Wei, private collection of copper, private casting of bronze is a felony, although the Qin Shogunate can now ignore the laws of the Great Wei Dynasty, and there will not be any patrol envoy who will not open his eyes and the King of Qin. But the copper reserves in the territory of the Great Wei are too small, a cannon is a few hundred catties at a light, more than a thousand catties at a heavy, and there is a lot of consumption in the trial casting process, even if the king of Qin is willing to spend this money, where can he get enough bronze?

Cast iron cannon has become an inevitable choice, in fact, Fu Qian is also doing well, there is enough fine iron wrought iron, the improvement of the process is inevitable, but under the work of excellent masters, the Eastern Domain has greatly shortened this process.

Thinking that after that, it was the officers and soldiers of the Great Wei Navy Division who sailed and patrolled the sea, the ships launched were huge and equipped with a large number of artillery, and there were quite a lot of well-trained and well-equipped sailors stationed on the boats, Kang Tianqi contracted the sea surface forces, and he was already at ease in the local head snake of the Japanese State, if he could eradicate the Pu Xingfeng again, the government army and the Navy Division should return to the momentum of more than 200 years ago, and the entire Great Wei Sea, as well as the South Sea, the East Ocean, the Western Ocean, and the seas of various countries, only the warships of the Great Sea Division showed off their might and sailed the sea?

Thinking of such a scene, even if he was born as a pirate, he had done a lot of things that violated his conscience, Deng Wenjun's eyes were still a little red, in order to hide his emotions, he smiled at Lu Sihai and said: "What you said is ridiculous, if we collected donations at sea back then, except for the ship that was harvested by us for the first time, there would be people at the bottom who took the initiative to send money?" ”

"If there is, I'm afraid it's not a plague, fool?" Lu Sihai laughed heartily.

"Form 1, Form 2, Form 7, Form 11, Form 13, Form 14, Form 15, Form 16......" Deng Wenjun and Lu Sihai were still on the surface of the Penghu Sea, the sails had just been raised, ready to turn back to the northern sea, at this moment, from the Penghu port, more than a dozen large Fuchuan warships of three or four hundred tons, or even about five hundred tons, were dragged out of the port by small boats and lined up on the sea.

Lu and Deng leaned on the side of the boat, stunned for a while.

Their ship was a half-new Cantonese ship, which was sharper and longer than the Founder's Fu ship, and was more suitable for long-distance sailing. Deng Wenjun and Lu Sihai also picked a good ship to go south as much as possible, it stands to reason that the two seem to be incompatible outside, at least the subordinates of the two have been clearly distinguished, originally Deng and Lu had a personal relationship, but under the long-term dispute, there have been obvious cracks in the old friendship between the two.

This time, Wang Zhi ordered the two to go south together, and even took the same boat to take the boat, and the two were a little dissatisfied earlier, but at this time they already understood Wang Zhi's thoughts.

Lu and Deng have their own strengths and weaknesses, if the situation is good, Wang Zhi can choose any of them to keep their own foundation. In Wang Zhi's case, he has been on the sea for half his life, and his reputation is great, and the most worrying thing is that he will be liquidated by Dawei after withdrawing, and after serving for half a year, this worry will no longer exist. But if his subordinates fail to control it, they will become thieves again, or even devour the old master in turn, this layer of worry is

It will be dispelled in the successor. Therefore, Wang Zhi was cautious and did not dare to make up his mind early, and when he delayed until this time, Wang Zhi had actually made a decision.

"It seems that the handsome man has thought it through." When he was about to leave, Deng Wenjun was not lacking in sentimentality, Wang Zhi's department, either Fujian or Zhejiang, or Guangnan, there were also Siamese and Champa people, but even if Siam occupied the city, most of them also have Han blood, and their subordinates are stationed in the north, although they can live for the time being, but the northern seas can not accommodate so many heroes on the sea, originally Wang Zhi was going to be stationed in the Zhoushan Islands, but at the beginning of the annexation, the imperial court refused to refuse, and even did not hesitate to order the attached Wang Zhi to leave.

Wang Zhi and his subordinates can also understand that Zhoushan is located in the sea of eastern Zhejiang, close to Jiangling, and is the most important and wealthy place of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Stationed in the north, he had no choice but to do so, and now Wang Zhi and his subordinates were already quite embarrassed.

Lu Sihai laughed and said: "If the Shogunate of King Qin accepts our mess, our brothers will be led by His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and the ships and old brothers will come to an end, even if we are two, the imperial court gave us the title of general, and gave Jiedu a posthumous thing or something, it is nothing more than a name, a fake thing, and it can't be taken seriously." If King Qin takes us in, in a few years, our brothers will be serious court officials, whether they are third or fourth, they are all real things, and they can't be fakes......"

The Wei people are thieves, and the embarrassment lies in the fact that they can't return to their hometowns after being rich, even if they are attached, everyone knows what Jing Navy Festival envoy is, General Xuanwei or something is the official position of the imperial court, it can't be true, those villagers, they still have to be reprimanded, even if they want to invite these clansmen into the ancestral hall again, in the end there is still a layer apart, and everyone is strange in their hearts.

If it can really be accommodated within the officialdom system of the Great Wei, it can be regarded as a serious name, and then it can return to its hometown safely, and it is not a night trip in brocade.

"When the time comes, I want to go to the shogunate of the Great King." Deng Wenjun smiled and said: "I have been adrift for half my life, and I am really tired of being at sea. When the time comes, the ship will be handed over to you, and it would be best for me to find a place in the shogunate and settle down...... Well, it's also close to Mingzhou, so it's convenient for me to go back to my hometown to visit relatives and friends. ”

"You're dreaming." Lu Sihai sneered: "There are still 3,000 nails in the broken ship, and we still have more than 200 ships, there are not many big ones, and there are many medium-sized and small warships." The important thing is that all the brothers have seen the wind and waves on the sea, fought a lot of battles, seen blood, killed ordinary people, and fought with pirates, officers and soldiers. We have created a lot of sins, and now we have attached them, saying that it is a hook, which is easy to write off? Even if we surrender to the King of Qin, the old brothers and the ships will definitely disrupt the reorganization...... This is an inevitable thing, I won't fight, the old man will take the initiative to propose, when the time comes, he can ask me to lead a boat, leave one or two thousand subordinates, and then fight him to manage the army at sea, I will be satisfied! ”

Lu Sihai is short and strong, although he is chatting at this time, he actually has an awe-inspiring feeling on his body.

Deng Wenjun nodded silently, knowing in his heart that this old brother was thinking well...... In fact, Deng Wenjun now understands that his personality is too soft, he thinks about many and far-reaching things, and he is kind and has many brothers to rely on, but if he fights his way out in the troubled times, and the commander of the old department is not bullied and divided, in fact, it is obvious that Lu Sihai is more suitable to be the leader, and he has fought with Lu Sihai before, and the old man seems to be difficult to choose, but in fact, he has already had other plans.
