Chapter 120: Wang Zhi's Survival Strategy
Since becoming a prisoner, Wang Zhi has been thinking about some problems except for eating and sleeping time.
One of the things that puzzled him the most was where did this powerful army and sailors who had ambushed him come from?
According to what he heard from Di Qing, it was analyzed that this water division should also be established after King Jiangchuan of Qin entered the customs.
But why was he able to build such a large sailor in such a short period of time?
After all, this sailor is not simply a few ships, but all warships with great firepower.
The firepower was strong and the artillery was sharp, which he had never seen or heard of.
This made him puzzled at the same time, he had a deep fear of Qin Wang Jiangchuan, and he was also more curious about his strength.
After thinking about these questions, he also began to think about his fate.
Since he has chosen this line of work, Wang Zhi has already considered such an end, and has considered that he will die unexpectedly.
Now that he has become a prisoner of King Qin, there are only two possibilities, either live or die.
No one came to interrogate him for several days after he was captured, but the soldiers guarding him delivered him two meals a day on time, and he was kept in solitary confinement.
The guards didn't say a word to him, which made him start to think that he was going to die.
After all, Di Qing's previous words also revealed that he himself would be a dead end.
Although he had been prepared for this result in his heart, Wang Zhi was very unwilling when it came to the end.
He was not willing to die himself.
Wang Zhi is actually a very ambitious person, if he didn't have ambition, he wouldn't have been able to go from a scholar to a scholar in just over ten years. He became the leader of the most powerful and massive group of pirates on the entire sea, and was known as the Sea Dragon King.
So if he was allowed to die, he was really unwilling.
But if you are not reconciled, then you can only find a way to survive.
There are only two ways to survive, either escape from the cage, find a way to escape back to your lair, and then make a comeback to avenge today's revenge.
But this was quickly denied by himself, not to mention that he was now surrounded by an army of 20,000 men, and even if he escaped from the island, in the vast sea, there was no way for him to return to his lair.
Besides, even if he was lucky enough to be able to return to his lair, he would not be able to face the Qin Army Sailor who followed closely behind.
He was deeply impressed by the powerful firepower and flexible tactics of the Qin Army's naval division. The more than seventy ships he had brought with him were completely vulnerable to the enemy's powerful firepower, which gave him a feeling that he could not fight against them at all.
So since you can't choose to survive through the road of escape, then you can only survive through another way, that is, to surrender to sincerity, express your determination to the King of Qin, let the King of Qin see his own value, and leave his life.
So where is your value?
Wang Zhi quickly and calmly analyzed, he was able to crisscross the sea for more than ten years, and became the leader of the largest group of pirates, in addition to ruthlessness and courage, he also had extraordinary analytical ability.
He quickly found the value of his survival.
Now although he has been hit hard, he has been captured by the Qin army. But throughout the sea, there are still dozens of large and small groups of pirates.
If the king of Qin wants to completely pacify these widows, it will take at least a few years. However, if he had the service of the Sea Dragon King, who had a high prestige among the Japanese and was familiar with the situation of the Japanese at sea, then these times could be greatly shortened, and the King of Qin would have a lot less trouble.
This is the value of his royal existence.
After Wang Zhi understood this, he immediately told the Qin soldiers guarding him that he wanted to see Di Qing.
He believed that Di Qing would see him immediately after hearing his words. After all, as long as Di Qing is not stupid, he will definitely be able to understand his own value. And he believed that if he made meritorious contributions, not only would he not die, but he might even be reused by the King of Qin and obtain the high-ranking official marquis.
After Di Qing received the report from the person below, he smiled slightly and laughed: "We haven't gone to him yet, this guy took the initiative to come to the door by himself." ”
Deng Shichang and Bai Jinxiu on the side were also a little surprised, but it was reasonable to think about it.
Bai Jinxiu thought for a moment and said, "Two generals, since this person has offered to cooperate with us and submit to us, he must want to take this opportunity to put forward some conditions. However, I suggest that the general should not immediately agree to this man, but that he should be left to dry for two more days, so that he may know that his value to us is dispensable. It will be easier to use in the future, and he will be more cautious, what do the two generals think? ”
Di Qing and Deng Shichang glanced at each other and laughed, "The white girl is really smart. Just do what the white girl said, and let him dry for two days before that. ”
Wang Zhi originally thought that he had proposed to surrender and was willing to take the initiative to assist the Qin army in exterminating the rest of the Japanese Kou, but after reporting it, Di Qing would soon come to him.
But he didn't expect that there was still no movement for several days, and the attitude of the guards towards him was the same as always, and there was no change, which made Wang Zhi, who was originally full of confidence, suddenly feel up and down.
Could it be that Di Qing doesn't value himself?
For a while, my heart was also uneasy, and I no longer regained my original calm and self-confidence.
The Qin army was stationed on the island, and after synthesizing various intelligence in the past few days, it was found that although the area of this island was not too large, its geographical location was very important.
From the mouths of the Japanese captives, it was known that if they continued to drive east from this island for three days, they could reach the coast of Fuso.
If you continue to drive north from here, you will reach the Korean Peninsula in about five days.
And this island is only a day's voyage from the Weihaiwei temporary military port. Therefore, it can be seen that the geographical location is very important, and it can be used as a transit base for sailors at sea.
Therefore, after discussing with Di Qing, Deng Shichang also got Hu Zongxian's consent, so he ordered to start a large-scale construction on the island, to turn the island into a transit base for sailors at sea.
As a transit base, it is natural to build various facilities, such as expanding the docks, leveling the land, building soldiers' barracks and warehouses, watchtowers, etc., and even lighthouses and other facilities, so the island has been in full swing in the past few days.
Those rescued people have also been sent back to Weihaiwei by boat, where Hu Zongxian is resettled.
Most of the remaining Japanese captives were also escorted back to Weihaiweigang, and with the exception of Wang Zhi and a few of his cronies, this original pirate nest had been rapidly transformed into a naval military base for the Qin army.
