Zong Ze, alias "Sea Seal", finally arrived at the designated station, Banqiao Old Town in Jiaoxi County, Mizhou (now at the mouth of Jiaozhou Bay, Qingdao).
The reason why he got the name "Sea Dog" is not only because of his sharp and fierce style at sea, and his unpredictable behavior without a trace, but also because he seems to be a sea seal's exuberant and powerful lower body function, which can seduce bees and butterflies everywhere, and leave a lot of love debts and a reputation of luck behind him.
But now all this has been far away from him, and his current identity is that he belongs to the Qingzhou Teaching Corps, the fourth special detachment, and the deputy coastal inspector, with the rank of commander of the brigade.
It's just that in this matter, he was obviously hunting geese all day long, but he was pecked blind by the geese, and he couldn't see that the other party who had a deep impression on the first side of Liangshanhai City had actually grown up and had the power and status of Rusi in a few more years.
In the face of such a huge contrast, he originally had some self-consoling thoughts and other thoughts, thinking that the other party was just a family background, or a more powerful backer, and was arranged in an important position to gild his experience, so it is not surprising that he was in a high position at a young age, although it is rare.
And after stepping on the land of Huaidong, he originally had a little luck and the unruliness hidden in his bones, but he was also crushed by the suffocating reality.
Although this Luo clan is from the great clan of the Sea Domain, he is a real self-made entrepreneur, and after leaving Liangshan a few years ago, he took his self-recruited soldiers and horses from Rong and turned to fight in various places. In the end, he personally led the troops to participate in the Southern and Northern Expeditions that shook the world and the sea, and in the tragic battles, he fought all the way down from nine deaths to life, and reopened up a great foundation in the land of Huaishang.
Now it is a justifiable opening of the government and the establishment of the curtain, the closure of the town, and the life and death of the ministers under the rule.
In contrast, the so-called sea thief, who had more than a dozen boats in his heyday and crisscrossed the Yellow Water Ocean and the East China Sea, had everything that was really not worth mentioning and insignificant.
But this is also the first time that Zong Ze has thoroughly felt the impact and touch brought by power. As a person in a high position and holding a heavy handle, often as long as a sentence and a color, it is easy to decide, and countless people like him who think they have a lot of experience and are confident and proud are related to various life and death futures. Or easily drive thousands of people like him to life and death.
The reputation of the so-called fur seal may be the object of Xiao Er's cry in the ears of a few coastal fishing villages, but the power in the hands of this person can make countless families ruined, and life and death are difficult to do.
As a result, although Zong Ze has always been known for his perseverance and perseverance and not easily admitting defeat, in the face of the disparity in reality, it is still easy for him to recognize his position and where the problem lies. Grasping this opportunity with unpretentious appreciation is something that many people dream of.
As for the meritorious service encouraged by the other party, he was already physically and mentally exhausted, but he didn't think about it so much. I just want to take this opportunity to go ashore and avoid the limelight, take a good rest, and then slowly think about my way out and future.
Think about it carefully, why the brotherhood and the oath of life and death soaked in blood for many years together are no match for the fluttering bounty and behind-the-scenes promises.
Therefore, as one of the two major coastal garrisons under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Shouyu, Zong Ze will spend a long time in the harbor outside this Banqiao Town.
With the carriage of passengers, turning around a low hill, you can already look down on the whole town of Banqiao
Laishui, Jiaoshui, and Dagu River converge here to form a unique sea market. Therefore, Banqiao Old Town used to be one of the few major ports in the Northland, and the location of the Missilean City Shipping Division. It is also the location of the Tang Dynasty East China Sea Liaison Office and the Domain Office, which is very prosperous with the dense weaving of business travelers.
However, after years of war and foreign raids, coupled with the impact of the confrontation between the north and the south, the current Banqiao Town has decayed to the point that only the most basic function of the port remains.
Therefore, in the middle of the vast expanse of the sea and the green fjord, an old and mottled narrow harbor area is adjacent to the newly built naval garrison camp, forming a certain sharp contrast.
There were already people practicing on the sea, and there was a faint rumbling drum beat.
Under the command of the near-shore flag, more than a dozen small boats with both sails and oars are making trajectories such as chasing, surrounding, and dispersing on the sea.
It's just that with Zong Ze's intuition and vision of many years of wandering on the sea, these sailors who are practicing are still unfamiliar, and the cooperation between ships is not tacit enough, it can only be regarded as a makeover.
Then he heard faint gray smoke rising from the boats, followed by a faint roar, and some splashes of water splashing high near the floating targets.
"It was actually fired on the ship,"
Zong Ze couldn't help but be surprised, but his evaluation of these sailors has improved a little, at least operating artillery is not a simple job, especially the skill of operating artillery on the water, and the skill of issuing across the sea is not simple.
He couldn't help but feel a certain expectation and hope, is there still a chance to fight with artillery in the future, you must know that artillery is such a thing, he has heard of its name for a long time, and he has also seen some power with his own eyes because of fate.
Artillery is rare in the north, but it is used a lot in the southern side of the activities of the Liang sailors, who occasionally go deep into the north to practice and practice, often under the fire of several iron and stone tools, half of the boat gang and the manpower of the activities encountered, can be beaten to a pulp.
In addition to being too slow to reload, it is simply a big killer in naval warfare. Therefore, even if he really wants to meet him, he can only bow down and pretend to be good and obedient to avoid for a while, or take advantage of the wind to run away with all his might.
Therefore, the most used in Zong Ze's hands were the crossbows and small stone cannons fixed on the deck, which were enough to destroy the sails and rudders of those hijacked ships, or to deter and suppress the resistance forces on the deck.
With this expectation, he couldn't wait to pass through the old port area of Banqiao Town, and when he came to the new camp area by the sea, he was shocked by some huge figures stationed behind the camp wall.
Because, the money could not be seen clearly from a distance, but when he approached and looked at it, his eyes were reluctant to turn away.
The majestic deck waterline, the towering masts and the staggered sails, the sharp and high? The bow of the ship with a sharp and slender fusiform, and a blue-gray metal bottom on the waterline.
However, no matter how big or small, old or new, these dozen or so sea prides, large and small, can only anchor in the harbor, slowly climbing aquatic weeds and barnacles, and it seems that for a long time, they have not raised their sails or cleaned them.
It's really a tyrannical thing, this is Zong Ze's first reaction.
This is the Flying Fish warship, after the sailors of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, repeatedly used and improved and designed the most mature and stable ship type, whether it is in terms of operability or comprehensive indicators, it is among the best in many ship types.
and the Fighter-class mackerel ship, which fully reflects the trade-off between armament and carrying capacity,...... Even the naval transport ship named the guinea fish type among them is all strong and heavy in a military nature.
As a sea thief, even if he encounters such a ship at sea, he can only retreat three feet.
After all, they are just pirates and not regular sailors, and picking up those merchant ships with large carrying capacity, little protection, and slow speed is the right way to pinch them as soft persimmons.
But when was he able to operate a warship dedicated to sailors?
As a veteran sea thief who has plundered and operated various ship types, being able to obtain a standard warship is undoubtedly the ultimate ideal and pursuit of some kind of incomparable gundam. But the ideal is always good, and the reality is cruel.
For the corresponding ships of the naval division, the Southern Dynasties, which had an advantage in sea power, could be said to be extremely tightly controlled, and he obviously lacked the corresponding way for him to live in the Northland Sea for a long time;
For the Northern Dynasties, although the sailors were seriously abandoned and the management was chaotic, the corresponding seagoing ships were abandoned and decayed due to lack of dispatch and maintenance.
Therefore, he inevitably coveted those well-made and well-made Southern Dynasty warships and official ships with exquisite materials and workmanship for a long time.
Just an ordinary second-hand 800-material seabird boat made him covet it for a long time, and it took a great deal of money to get it, and it became his boat. Because although the ship has a small load, it is fast, and it is convenient to accelerate or turn, so it is important for his gang to be quick and able to get rid of the pursuers on the sea in time.
But I didn't expect that just when the low tide of life was dormant with "endless mountains and rivers and no way out", I met my dream goal here in "another village".
Here is the artillery, and the encounter and experience of the warship, which makes him a little surprised and shocked, and also overturns his own judgment. At least, it's never a place to hang out for people who don't matter.
And it seems that the young Zhenfu has a lot of plans for the operation and layout of the navy, and the energy he uses is very great (of course he didn't think that this was something that was robbed from the sailors)
As soon as he thought that this was the new starting point and stage of his future life, his heart was suddenly filled with some inexplicable longing and thoughts.
Immediately, the previous dormant and low-key plans, as well as the arrangement of asking for leave to go to Yidu as soon as he received his salary, were left behind.
In my mind, I couldn't help but think of that little boy Luffy, muttering in disbelief before he was hacked to death
"I ...... But the man who wants to be the king of the pirates......"
