The flagship of the Song Army, singing. Chen Buqun used a telescope to observe the sea. Observe the harbor not far away. casually asked the officer next to him: "Who is the first?" ”

The officer replied: "Teacher's servant." ”

Chen Buqun sighed. Continue to observe with a telescope. A moment later. He replied: "Order the Seawolf battleship to start the first round of shelling...... Let us pray for the Seljuks. I hope they will be able to ascend to Heaven smoothly. ”

An officer next to him seemed to be very familiar with Chen Buqun. He said in a relaxed tone, "Senior brother." How can you pray for their ascension to heaven? It's time for us to pray that the servants of the prison teachers they are in prison will help. It's hard for them to go to prison if they can't think of it. ”

Zhao Xing's domestic servants were not special in the Song Dynasty. There are also countless servants in Zhujiazhuang, Hujiazhuang and other manors on "Water Margin". These domestic servants all carry the distinctive characteristics of the times, under the "Heavenly Sacred Order". The maximum length of service for a domestic servant in the Song Dynasty was ten years. In this decade. Their position is slightly higher than that of hired servants. But ten years later. Because of the existence of the Heavenly Sacred Order. They are faced with the end of finding their own way.

The worst treated slave. The master will pay you the salary you earned for ten years of hard labor. Then you are allowed to leave freely. This kind of treatment can make the slaves of the Ming and Qing dynasties cry to death with jealousy. However. This was the worst experience for a servant in the Song Dynasty. Because of leaving the gentry family. These people set up their own portals. They also had to face all kinds of taxes and labor in the imperial court. So in the Song Dynasty. Expelled the servants from their shelter. is the most severe punishment. This punishment can make the slaves of the Ming and Qing dynasties envy to death.

Besides. There are also several better options for domestic servants. The first is because of good performance during service. The owner will give the surname. Listed as a side branch of the clan. Let it continue to live under the protection of the patriarchal law. That's the best treatment. Because this treatment allows the servant to extend his service indefinitely. and rise to the top of a powerful sect. Sheltered by this clan.

As for the middle road. It is recommended by the host. It is highly evaluated for its performance during the service period. Enables it to carry its master's rewards. Switch to another clan. Continue to live under the protection of the patriarchy, such as Gao Yu. He was the senior staff hired by Su Shi. Switched to the end of the queen. He became a member of the three grades of the imperial court.

Because of the role of the Heavenly Sacred Order. Therefore, the cohesion of the slave family in the Song Dynasty was particularly strong. Even in the event of a life-and-death struggle. They also dare to be the first. Don't fight for your life. In "Water Margin", Zhuang Ding of Zhujiazhuang made the Liangshanbo bandits in Qilu also feel a headache. It is under the "Heavenly Sacred Order" of the Song Dynasty. A realistic recreation of the Servant Order.

Compared to the Zhuang Ding system that prevailed in the Song Dynasty. This group of family members under Zhao Xing's name is an extremely special existence. Because his estate had been attacked. Therefore, Zhao Xing attaches great importance to the cultivation of military skills of the family. And the measures he took were nothing more than a big reward. Define the salary for each skill. and assessment criteria. Families with different skills can get multiple salaries. In this case. Zhao Xing's family members are proud to enjoy a variety of skills.

Zhao Xing is rich. As long as the family member applies for training in a certain skill. Teachers and equipment are provided free of charge by him. And the skills assessment is passed. Zhao Xing will hang obvious skill symbols on the family. Let the family enjoy an extra salary. Enjoy more honors.

Zhao Xing has the right. From the end of his service. If you want to enter the military. Or you want to work as a consul overseas. Zhao Xing had a lot of blank gentry waiting to fill in. So the family under his name met with a fight. It's crazy. On the one hand. They hoped for Zhao Xing's appreciation in the battle. Able to receive a generous reward after the completion of the service period. Or to a petty official position. On the other hand. Zhao Xing has never cared about the ownership of the loot. In the spirit of who possesses. Who owns the principle. Captured in battle. He has always recognized the ownership of the captors. So. Even if Zhao Xing didn't reward them afterwards. Soldiers who go to war will also take the lead. Strive to reap the maximum benefits in war.

Zhao Xing's current family members must have skills. Be fierce and fierce. To be an outlaw, the spirit has the nature of an outlaw. There are them who unleash an imperial onslaught. No wonder Chen Buqun and they have to pray for the Seljuks.

Sailing is a specialized discipline. Since the Song army began to contact with Arabia many years ago. Zhao Xing's Guangzhou Wubei School began to specialize in teaching trigonometric functions and other knowledge required for navigation. Zhao Xing is the principal of the Wubei Academy. So after the officers of the Martial Arts Academy came out. They all call Zhao Xing "teacher". And Chen Buqun is their elder brother. is called "senior brother" or "senior". The Song Dynasty still continued the hierarchical academy discipleship system handed down from the Tang Dynasty. So those officers preferred to address their naval commanders with affectionate "senior brothers" or "seniors".

Seawolf One began to move slowly. Adjust the hull of the ship as it moves. At the same time as it. The window of the cannon window was pushed open. A cannon was exposed. The sailors were loading shells on one side. While whistling. watched the Song army's liaison boat carry Aduri and rowed towards the shore with all his might.

A naval officer looks out over the harbor on the shore. Puzzled asked: "Senior brother." Isn't the teacher's goal Arab. How is it always a side-knocking. Hit some arab next to the collar ......"

The officer chuckled. Teasing: "Feeling." It seems that the teacher is like a squint. Aim accurately. But he always hit the person next to him. It's funny. ”

Chen Buqun smiled. Answer: "Arabia is a huge country. It's huge. All of Europe needs to be mobilized. to be able to compete with it. In the face of such a huge empire. Temptation to knock on the side is a must......

As far as I know. The Northern Arabian Front is in full swing. We're banging on it on the southern front now. The aim is to force it to submit. Such a vast empire. To conquer it. Not hundreds of years. Or even thousands of years. It's impossible to do. But I can't afford to wait for such a long time.

My big song must be in the shortest possible time. Resumption of East-West trade. In this way, we can ensure that our tax revenue is not depleted, as the teacher said. Liaodong, the source of cholera in China, has risen a new Hu people. This group of female straight people is more ferocious than the Liao people. We must be ready to take on this group of straight women.

And war is about money. At present, we are worried about internal and external troubles. It is necessary to expand financial resources quickly. to cope with this war...... As long as they survive this war. My Great Song will be more brilliant. At that time......"

What Chen Buqun didn't explain was. The newly appointed Song Huizong is a master who can spend money. And the party strife is intensifying. Every faction is in power. They don't like people who dare to reason with them out loud. These people are often relegated to Hainan by them. "Killing" in disguise. Ultimately. There was only a group of Acura factions left in the court. They eulogized all the claims of the powerful ministers. Even if the minister said that one plus one equals nine. They will also praise in unison.

In this case. The expenses of the imperial court are unlimited. And if the income shrinks slightly. The finances of the whole country are about to collapse. Zhao Xing's expedition. It is to open up financial resources for the empire. Chen Buqun did not understand this purpose. But he was used to executing Zhao Xing's strategy. According to Zhao Xing's words, he parroted.

He spoke up. Those officers also did not understand. After all, there is something prophetic about it. These officers have only seen the little emperor since he came to power. Hard. I don't understand the nature of the little emperor. An officer asked curiously, "Senior brother." Our Great Song Dynasty fiscal and tax revenues have increased over the years. Why are teachers still worried about the depletion of tax sources? It doesn't make sense. ”

Chen Buqun put down the binoculars. At this time. Seawolf One has sailed into the dock. Start firing. It's like a proud rooster. Stand on tiptoe. Dancing gently over the harbor area. The entire hull of the ship was spewing flames. While spitting out thick white smoke. While proudly paddling on the water. The cannon roared. Seawolf 2 also followed into the shelling position. Wait for Seawolf One to pass by. It took over the task of shelling. With this round of shelling. Thick white smoke rises from the port area. It was the steam and waves from the scorching cannonballs hitting the water. Later. Flames rise in the port area. Black smoke billed up.

Chen Buqun raised his binoculars and observed for a while. He put down the binoculars and said, "I've asked the teacher." The teacher's answer was four words: the burden of the people. Before Wang Jinggong's change of law. The people were not only burdened with the Dingkou tax. Except for the tax per acre and the service of labor. There are no other burdens. In addition, it can also be used as a merchant when the farm is not working. Set up a stall if you don't pay taxes. Itinerant trafficking. However, Wang Jinggong introduced the market change law. After the Horse Protection Law, the Exemption Law, and so on. The burden on the people is getting heavier and heavier. Now the tax revenue is growing. It is at the cost of the burden on the people......"

There was a pause. Chen Buqun sighed and said, "When the teacher left Hangzhou. The earthquake on Jinghu South Road. Some officials impeached Zeng Bu. It is said that the great rape is eliminated. Therefore, heaven and man are induced. Big shaken. The Holy Lord should go to the traitors to conform to the heavens. Han Zhongyan strongly agrees with this proposition. But the teacher said. Han Zhongyan fell for Cai Jing. Impeachment of Zengbu. Zeng Bu's resignation was to make room for Cai Jing. The next person to be impeached will inevitably be Han Zhongyan's turn. After Han Zhongyan and Zeng Bu both go. Cai Jing is in charge of the government alone. I'm afraid he won't be able to tolerate a single dissenter. After that, the direction of the wind in the court changed again. ”

Another officer asked puzzledly: "Senior brother." Since the situation in the imperial court is so critical. Why don't teachers stay in the country and work hard. Going overseas instead? I think. Wait for the teacher to go back. There is no going back. ”

Chen Buqun smiled bitterly. At this time. Seawolf III has already entered the shelling position. And began to extend the shooting. Houses in the dock area fell with the shells. Puffs of dust and smoke rose up. Chen Buqun waved his hand: "It's our turn." Turning the rudder. Enter the shelling position. ”

Only three battleships were built on the Seawolf. The rest are Tier A battleships. And among the Class-A battleships. The flagship will be the first to launch an artillery bombardment. With Chen Buqun's order. The officers have their own responsibilities. Begin to enter the respective command positions. The commander he had just questioned still refused to disperse. He stood there waiting for Chen Buqun's answer. Chen Buqun waved his hand weakly: "The battle in the court." We are powerless to do it back. Because of this fight. The voice behind it is the official family. We are powerless to challenge the imperial power. The meaning of the teacher is to be a big warlord with peace of mind. Keep the southeast half of the country alive. It's already right to start the court. Let's do our part. Armies. Start fighting. ”

Chen Buqun's words are old-fashioned. In fact. He was in his early twenties. But as the saying goes, the ass decides the head. Because he had the experience of going to sea with Zhao Xing. At a young age, he began to command the Quang Nam Fleet. As the Quang Nam fleet grew larger. He gradually also has the demeanor of a general. Try to be honest when you speak. often uses the teacher's banner to fool those juniors who are backward.

The flagship gradually moved into the shelling position. Xiao Feng climbed onto the deck. In the silence of the shelling before it began. Stared at Chen Buqun and asked, "Chen Dalang." We didn't seem to pass through here last time? ”

Chen Buqun rolled his eyes: "You were there last time." The teacher led us to the African continent. Aren't you there too? How do you ask me? ”

Xiao Feng scratched his head. Embarrassed to answer: "The Sprinkle family is a rough person." When you get to the sea, you can't distinguish things. Where did Da Lang (Zhao Xing) lead me. I'll follow. Where to know east, west, north and south. Pointing to where to hit. ”

The first shot of the flagship was fired. A plume of smoke rises from the docks. By this time the flagship had already sailed to the shore. The cries and shouts coming from the docks are vivid. The harbor passed through the shelling of the Seawolf. It's been a mess. Broken planks were floating everywhere. Sailors who swim desperately float in the sea. There are also some ships that have been hit and are sinking. There was panic everywhere on the decks of those ships. A sailor who runs around like a headless fly.

The flagship of the Song army was not the main battleship. It carries a large number of staff officers on it. So firepower is not its strong point. The shelling of the flagship stopped after a while. and gradually sail away from the port area. Wait until you get away from the smoke. Chen Buqun pointed to the dock with the telescope in his hand. "Look at this dilapidated picture, the Seljuks have the highest aim of destruction. Robbery as the power of life. They won't do business. The favorite is to pay with a sword. No one wants to trade with them. So they occupied the port. No matter how prosperous it was in the past. It will also disappear in an instant.

This is the Chenlu Branch. The teacher once said that it had another name. It's called Karachi. This port has been abandoned. Last time we went to the West. Have been to Sri Lanka before. After replenishing the provisions. Sailed directly to the mouth of the Red Sea. The party of that is called Aden. We've never been here before. Hey. Didn't the servants of the teacher I remember go first? Why don't you prepare? ”

Xiao Feng smiled: "Da Lang said that he would wait for the shelling to be completed." Then they sent someone ashore. These thirty warships. After the shot. It's evening, too. We still have plenty of time...... Da Lang is in the cabin to explain the matter to the source officer. Wait for the source to come out. I guess we're just getting started. ”

in the cabin. It's not just the source of the industry. Xiao Feng is the head of Zhao Xing's family. In recent years, it has begun to retreat into the background. Except on Tamna Island. He enjoys greater power outside. In the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, this group of family members is no longer under his command. So he was idle and had nothing to do.

At this time. Zhao Xing was doing pre-war mobilization in the cabin. At the big table, except for Yuan Yeping. There are also the Great Song Hujie Army and Xuanyi Army that received reorganization under the name of Zhao Xing. as well as the Quang Nam Ping Demon Army, the remaining Vermilion Bird Army and other officer leaders. A huge picture was laid out on the huge table. A large red arrow pointed to Karachi, the port of Karachistan, where the battleship was shelling.

"We landed 10,000 people this time. But don't be afraid that there are 10,000 people. Two thousand years ago. There was a king named Macedonia in the far west. He led 30,000 men from Greece to fight here. It was the Iron Age. He faced an ironclad army armed with Persian armor. He defeated them. Swept here. And crossed over into what is now the Gurkha state.

Then. A young man came to join the army. And wanted to lead his army into his own country. The young man's name was Gupta. The Macedonian king did not listen to him. for his soldiers fought for three years. Already tired of war. Enough loot was also captured. They intend to return home with these loot. Thereafter. This young Indian Gupta who came to join the army. Lead your own family. Under the banner of Macedonia, the fox and the tiger continued to move south. built an empire of its own. This empire lasted for a thousand years. It is known as the Gupta dynasty. Or the Mauryan Empire.

Say Gupta. You probably don't know. But this man is also famous in the history of Buddhism. He just put down the butcher's knife. Ashoka who became a Buddha. He put down his butcher's knife, which had slaughtered 10,000 living beings. Take refuge in Buddhism. Since then, he has become the supreme protector of Buddhism.

The Western emperor Macedonia led 30,000 soldiers to fight hundreds of thousands of miles in the age of cold weapons. Swept here. In the age of firearms. 10,000 of us should be able to sweep through here. That Ashoka had a sword and hundreds of servants. Able to slaughter tens of thousands of living beings here. Achieve a thousand-year-old empire. Therefore. As long as there is plenty of ammunition. We can do that with our muskets. When we kill 10,000 people each. I allow you to lay down your muskets. Standing as a Buddha. And then enjoy their acura.

What's here? There are countless ivory here. Countless tiger skins. Precious wood. A Buddha statue made of pure gold that is more than one person high. Idol of Hindu Gods...... These are ours. Who occupies. Who owns. The righteousness of the Scriptures. I allow you to take for yourselves all that is lawful and righteous that you can find your hands on. It's all endless wealth.

Let's move forward. Let's be like the face blown by a hurricane. Leave behind a clean and large one. And we can do this, our artillery battleships dominate this sea. As long as our battleships do not sink. It will bring us a steady stream of gunpowder and projectiles from the sea. Pour all the gunpowder and projectiles on the enemy's head. Our goal is to kill them all. Snatch them all. Let them know the respect that the conqueror deserves. ”
