The sampan and the warship still followed behind the little galleon, and the pirates were a little nervous, and their weapons loosened and tightened, and tightened. Cui Qixiao personally operated the oars, rowed the small sailboat without raising the sails, and headed straight towards an island.

Since there were people rowing, Qin Fei naturally fell idle, he pillowed his hands behind his head and leaned comfortably on the mast. Watching Cui Qixiao rowing the oars skillfully and rhythmically, he said leisurely: "Deputy General Cui's water kung fu doesn't seem to have fallen all these years?" ”

"It's just a matter of eating with these handles." Cui Qixiao said with a smile: "Speaking of the kung fu in hand, none of the ten Cui Qixiao is the opponent of Lord Zhendu. However, if I brag about it, if I compare it to water kung fu, ten town governors may not be able to compare with me. ”

Qin Fei asked slowly, "It seems that Vice Admiral Cui's water nature is outstanding among your group of pirates, right?" ”

Cui Qixiao was about to answer, but suddenly came to his senses, Qin Fei was talking nonsense. If he told him honestly, in fact, his water nature was only the middle and upper choice at the moment, with Qin Fei's shrewdness, he could almost pinch his fingers to calculate how much combat power this group of pirates had. Cui Qixiao lightly diverted the topic: "Lord Town Governor, in fact, it's not right to call us pirates." ”

"We are the dignified Great Wei Water Master. At the time of the national disaster, the sailors abandoned the ship and landed on the shore to fight bravely with the devils of the Chu State. Helplessly, the enemy is outnumbered, and the general trend has gone. Fierce fighting for two days and nights, from the interior of Andong to the sea. Along the way, almost every ten paces there was the body of a sailor. Blood stained three hundred miles of land! In order not to wipe out the entire naval division, the general ordered some of the soldiers to retreat into the sea with excellent warships. The rest of the brothers are all killed! ”

"Governor Qin, don't underestimate us who have lost our country. Just the remaining sailor brothers, and less than thirty percent of the warships of that year, are enough to dominate the East China Sea. Wherever our warships went, the sailors of the Chu State were so frightened that they did not dare to leave the port. It's not a boast, I'm talking about it here, I'll kill him when I come out of one, and I'll kill him when I come out with two. Hum! Back then, the self-proclaimed invincible fleet of the State of Wu could barely go with us for a few rounds, and the people of the State of Chu also played as a sailor? Hum! ”

Cui Qixiao 'hummed' twice in a row, with a proud face. Qin Fei could see that this was the pride of a veteran, but what he said was also the truth. The state of Chu did not rely on the sea at all before, and after the unification of Jiangbei, the water division of the state of Chu was formed on the basis of the surrendered Wei army water division. It is a pity that those who surrendered, both tactically and technically, could not be compared with the previous Wei sailors. In order to suppress Wu's superiority on the water, the backbone of the Chu army's naval division was in the Jiangnan camp. Along the coast, only some old warships and old and weak soldiers can be placed. Just like Cui Qixiao's words, these people met Cui Qixiao and them, they were really meat buns and dogs, and there was no return.

Over the years, the whole state of Chu has become accustomed to it. Wherever the pirates of the East China Sea arrived, the sailors immediately closed their doors and howled everywhere for support. If you only look at their official documents, you will feel that the pirates are rampant, and they will immediately swallow the port and land for battle. The infantry cavalry rushed to reinforce in a hurry, but saw two or three pirate ships swaying outside the port, and the dozen or twenty ships in the port were so frightened that they didn't dare to move......

After a long time, no one paid attention to the sailor's shouts for help. The Ministry of War has reached a consensus - those who are useless sailors, even if they are swallowed by pirates, they will be swallowed, as long as the pirates do not go ashore. Anyway, when you go ashore, it will be the world of the powerful Chu cavalry.

Cui Qixiao talked about sexuality, and then said: "We have been at sea for so many years, and we have never robbed coastal residents, nor have we forcibly seized passing merchant ships. You only need to go around the various ports if you have nothing to do, and all the equipment and supplies will be complete. Hehe, even if you are the Governor of the Prosecutor's Office, I am not afraid to let you know. Many sailors and generals of the Chu State secretly reached a tacit agreement with us, and they sent us some supplies, only begging us not to harass their ports. ”

Qin Fei has heard a lot of this kind of thing, and the sailor is a wreck, and he has almost never won a battle. But the generals of the sailors also want to be promoted, right? So, after they negotiated with the pirates, it became a situation where they gave gifts to the pirates. Send more, and the pirates won't come to harass. When the sailor officer, who had not been ravaged by pirates all year long, returned to the military headquarters to report on his duties, he could proudly face his comrades who had lost their armor by the pirates, and he could look at him with pity and say some words of comfort.

The pirates of the East China Sea are actually very fat!

Qin Fei said slowly: "You have a problem that you can't solve, of course, I want to have an interview with your shopkeeper." ”

Cui Qixiao was bragging about being happy, but he was so stabbed by Qin Fei that he couldn't be happy at once, and rowed the boat silently, and soon arrived at the island.

The island is huge, and the pirates have been entrenched for so many years that they have developed a self-sufficient environment. There are people fishing and drying nets on the shore, and there is a large fruit grove on the island. There are actually people in the forest who have built a breeding farm, and there are many chickens, ducks, pigs and so on. Crossing the forest, Qin Fei saw a flower in front of his eyes - that's right, it was a crop field.

Cui Qixiao explained triumphantly: "Governor Qin, I won't tell you. In the past ten years, we have made this island impressive. If there were a large army besieging the island now, the stored grain, salted fish, and self-brewed wine alone would be enough to sustain it for a long, long time. As for how long...... Hey, I can't tell. Anyway, it's been a long time for you to unimaginate. ”

"I look at the map, this island is called Shunfeng Island, right?" Qin Fei asked.

"It used to be called that, but then we changed it. This is the last piece of land of the Great Wei Dynasty, and it is a place that the people of Chu have never touched. We all call it, Wei Dao! ”

Qin Fei nodded, and the two of them had already walked to a hillside.

On the hillside, a group of teenage children were practicing martial arts, and several middle-aged people were scolding with straight faces. The slightest mistake in the child's movements was immediately whipped down with a stick. The beaten child blushed and meticulously followed the other companions to continue practicing, not daring to be careless.

In the distance, another group of smaller children were shaking their heads and reciting books. The immature children's voice recites the quaint text, which sounds like an innocent nursery rhyme.

Cui Qixiao pointed to the man about forty years old who was holding a scroll to teach the children to read, and said to Qin Fei: "That is, Ren Pingsheng, the deputy commander of the East China Sea Fleet of the Great Wei Naval Division, the imperial brocade and jade belt sword, and the general of the hunting sea. ”

Qin Fei looked curiously at this figure who had been famous for a long time. Ren Pingsheng's file has been on his desk for a long time.

There is an unborn handsome talent in the Wei State Water Division, and that is Ren Pingsheng. In the record, he was born in a small fishing village, and when he was a teenager, the fishing village was attacked by pirates. Ren Pingsheng, who was thirteen years old, offered advice to the village chief and skillfully dealt with the pirates, which not only saved the lives of the vast majority of the villagers, but also dragged the pirates from escaping, so that the Great Wei Sailors who heard the news annihilated the pirates in one fell swoop.

The general of the sailor was very appreciative of the performance of the villagers, and was ready to apply for a reward from the imperial court for them, but upon inquiry, he learned that all the plans actually came from a teenager. The very surprised general called Ren Pingsheng, and the two asked and answered. The young Ren Pingsheng answered fluently, and with his own genius, he put forward many impressive suggestions for sailor training.

The general was extremely amazed at that time, and immediately made a decision and sent Ren Pingsheng to study in the capital to receive a complete and systematic education and training. A few years later, at the age of sixteen, Ren Pingsheng entered the Great Wei Naval Division and became the commander of a small warship. In the razing of pirates and the battle against the Wu State Naval Division, Ren Pingsheng made many miraculous achievements, and since then he has risen to the top, and his official position has been mentioned again and again, and he has become the deputy commander of the East China Sea Fleet in his twenties. If it weren't for the fact that the commander's qualifications were too old and he had saved up for a lifetime, Ren Pingsheng would have been able to serve as a commander.

Even so, it is clear to everyone. The commander in his sixties and seventies will not be in office for long, maybe a few years, maybe only a few months. The commander told the lord to return to his hometown, and the East China Sea Fleet was the world of Ren Ping's life.

At this time, the Chu-Wei War broke out. Although the Wei army had a powerful sailor division in the world, the battles were fought on land, and the sailor could only stare dryly and be anxious. The situation of the battle became more and more unfavorable to the Wei army, until the defeat was like a mountain. The commander led the naval division to land and fight, determined to die for his country. Until he couldn't support it, he forced Ren Pingsheng to lead part of the robe to retreat into the sea and retain the last strength.

Ren Pingsheng made a mess in the East China Sea, and as long as his fleet went to sea, the Chu State Sailors would all become shrinking turtles. He also has a record to be proud of - he joined the army at the age of sixteen and has not tasted defeat on the water!

Such a person, in Qin Fei's mind, should be tall and dignified. But I didn't expect that when I saw Ren Pingsheng for the first time, it turned out to be like a teacher who could be seen in a private school in the countryside. He is of medium height, slightly thin, his skin is the most common bronze of people who grew up by the sea, he does not have the air of a king, nor is he a handsome man, just an ordinary person, with two neat beards, and that long shirt falls on his body, which really means a little gentleman!

Cui Qixiao coughed twice, waking up Qin Fei who was in a daze.

"Governor Qin, if you want to see General Ren, I can bring you. But, whether to see you or not, it needs to be decided by the general. There are ......" Cui Qixiao thought about it, and then continued: "If the general orders to kill you, I can't disobey the general's order." Even though you spared me not to kill...... If you die, I will be responsible for returning your body to Anju and then killing myself to report it to you. ”

"Cut, don't come to this set." Qin Fei snorted nonchalantly: "You go and tell Ren Pingsheng, just say that I, Qin Fei, came to see him alone, and if it is a man, I will come out to talk." ”
