Chapter 342: Forces on the Sea
The autumn wind is cold, the air is already very cold, and Shandong is more fatal by the sea breeze howling, the cloak blown by the wind crackles, but the soldiers in the army are very fond of the windy weather, so the cloak behind them will be blown by the wind to agitate up, it looks very mighty with a different kind of momentum, the feather cavalry on both sides looks very majestic, the long red feathers at that end do not know what material it is still straight in the strong wind, the wind behind them is blown up, a group of people charge in the field, it looks very handsome.
From time to time on the road, a group of thieves robbed the nearby villages, but most of the roads were deserted, and the villages were also the kind of Wu forts for self-protection, they looked like a small fortress in general, and the villages were merged, and the troubled times were inevitable, several villages merged outside to build an earthen wall to defend against nearby bandits and thieves, otherwise there was only a share of being robbed, but the Shandong bandits and bandits did not exist, and they had been beaten away by themselves.
"It's strange why there are so many Wu forts with villages and villages, and won't it be very troublesome to farm the land if the Japanese are gone, and the bandits and thieves have fled."
"Although the thieves and bandits have left, the officers and soldiers have not left, they are doing this to defend the officers and soldiers!" Wang Hengdao on the side, his old face always carried an inexplicable sorrow.
Soldiers? Xiaochuan understood, just like Hong Chengchou once said, thieves come and go, soldiers go to thieves, thieves plunder in front, soldiers in the back, thieves are like combs, soldiers are like shaving, the officials and soldiers are not as good as thieves at the end of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise Li Zicheng Shangluoshan was defeated and there were still eighteen horsemen left, why did he quickly pull up a large army when he came out of the mountain, not only to capture and plunder the hungry people, but also to do the faction of officers and soldiers, who is the righteous party of officers and soldiers? It is impossible to conclude that if there is complete justice on one side, there will be no Tartar to the south.
Just like the four towns in Jiangbei, they are afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and when they see the people, they are fiercer than tigers!
****************
The sea breeze is howling on the reef on the shore, the waves crashing against the reef make a crisp sound, and in the distance on the sea are ships with faces, bird boats, lucky boats, and small sailing ships, on which there is a group of pirates, there are strong Norse Vikings, they hold iron swords and horned helmets, and a group of pirates, there are ronin samurai, ninjas and mercenaries, there are huge numbers, and the pirates are managed by people dressed as Han people, and the main body is the group of Viking pirates.
Sakuma stood beside the mast of a Daifuku ship, looked at the shore in the distance, and said with a helpless look in his eyes: "Recently, Zheng Zhilong recruited us, let us attack the lord's Qingzhou together, hehe!" ”
A man wrapped in black clothes on the side: "Hmph, it's a dream to want us to help him work, not to mention that this place is still the lord's territory, he probably doesn't know that this huge sea force that suddenly appeared is under the lord's command."
"Hmph, but his Zheng family is still the overlord of the sea, we will have a battle with him in the future, what we need now is to hide and forbear!" Sakuma said: "The Zheng family's strength at sea is too strong!"
"Hmph, don't worry, we have more than 6,000 Viking pirates under our command, and there are many warships that they won't go on expeditions to fight us, which is contrary to their interests, we just need to be tough enough, enough recklessness, they won't have the courage to fight us, after all, the Zheng family has a big business!" The man in black on the side said, his tone full of coldness.
Sakuma still looked at the warships behind him with worry and said: "Our strength to compete with the Zheng family is still not enough, it is still not enough, these forces are still not enough to compete with the Zheng family, not enough to compete with Zheng Zhilong's forces!" He said.
"I, Beidou, will continue to provide you with intelligence and financial support!" The man in black on the side said, his tone calm, and only two dark eyes remained on his face covered by the mask. "And according to intelligence, those Japanese daimyo are very interested in you, the force that suddenly appeared!"
"What about being interested? They shot at the cost of 6,000 Vikings against me, not to mention the more than 5,000 Japanese of all kinds now! It is the lord's strategy to deal with the Japanese people," he said, a little lonely in his tone.
The man in black on the side nodded and said: "But Japan is really a good place, no wonder Zheng Zhilong was able to start in Hirado, Japan, there are a large number of ronin, ninjas, and mercenaries, as well as people from all over the country, they are simply the best cannon fodder, as long as they give them money, they will work for us!" ”
"Use the Japanese to rob the Japanese of their money to do business with the Japanese," the man in black said, but he found that Sakuma's eyes on the side were a little unsightly, so he sneered: "Don't forget your identity, you are now the leader of this sea force under the command of the lord, you are not a Japanese ronin, don't have any other thoughts about that island, you have to understand, our Beidou has the ability to kill you at any time, we can change a leader in an hour, everything you have now is given by us!" ”
"I understand," Sakuma wiped the cold sweat on his head and said, "You won't understand my heartfelt feelings for my lord!" He shook his head and smiled bitterly, this huge pirate group has a large number of system troops, not only Vikings, but also the Beidou spies lurking everywhere and more than forty of them are composed of various system troops, they are the essence of this huge mixed force, and the skeleton of this giant.
"Hmph, it's good to understand," the man in black said, pointing to the land in front of him and said: "After going ashore, according to the intelligence instructions, take care of your subordinates, only rob rich merchants and families, and don't touch the people at all!" ”
"This? Hard? Those ronins, especially the countrymen, are not the kind of army with strict military discipline themselves! You understand who they are," Sakuma said, wiping the sweat from his head, he didn't know how to contain a group of bandits, not robbery.
"Hmph, then kill! One person robs and kills the whole team! The whole team robs and kills a boat! The man in black said, "Set an example!" "There was a lot of ruthlessness in his eyes.
This? Sakuma sighed and looked at the complex composition behind him for this huge force, which led to difficulties in management, and discipline was always the most difficult thing to restrict, and said, "I try my best!" ”
"If you can't do it! You understand my means! With that, the man in black turned and left, and disappeared from the deck in a few moments.
Sakuma sighed with a sigh of helplessness. There is a different kind of sadness in his heart, although he is the leader of this huge sea group, he has no rights, and this man in black or Beidou is the real master who controls this sea power.
"My lord, he is so rampant, he is doing things for the lord, why can he manage us like this," said a samurai on the side.
"Just with all the captains at the grassroots level, the captains are all his people!" Sakuma shook his head, his powerful control was amazing, "Go and inform that group of people, it's best not to disobey my orders, otherwise he understands the methods of those people in black!" ”
