Chapter 346: Chatting in the Teahouse

The man who was called an adult raised his eyebrows in displeasure, and glanced at the reckless speaker, "How many times have you said it, call me master, don't shout here, this is the territory of the Bearded People, and the heavily armed Bearded Men are just a hundred and ten paces away."

In fact, he got the news from the day after the thieves landed, and you must know that the post stations along the way quickly sent the information through the official roads. Liu Chuanzhi didn't pay any attention to this group of thieves at that time, and every year around September is the peak period for pirates to plunder, you must know that most places harvest around September, especially in areas near the sea, when the trade is obviously more than ordinary. He just didn't think too much about why the pirates chose to land at the Donghaiwei Beacon Tower, the official roads in that place had been in disrepair for a long time, and it was difficult to walk, and if they brought siege equipment or something, it would take a lot of time to push them to the foot of An Yun City. But it didn't take long for him to find out that something was wrong, Zhou Jinfeng's urgent documents were generally sent to him one after another, and he also opened each one and read it, which made him feel incredible that this group of pirates not only did not raid the nearby villages, but also did not march towards An Yuncheng according to the development of the script, but lay on the beach to build a house and build a city, at that time he couldn't help but feel strange, is there such a pirate who only knows how to build a house every day? If you want to say that it is a pirate, it is better to say that it is a city builder party like the Meideno people, who rushed to the Wuchao sea to find a good natural harbor to build a city at every turn.

However, these pirates are obviously very different from the Meedno, they are not at all like the Medeno people, they all bring in building materials from overseas in large quantities by ship, and I heard that some bricks have even traveled thousands of miles from Yaning to the sea. These pirates carved out a large open space directly in the jungle, and then all the building materials were obtained in the jungle, and they moved much faster than the Medeno people, who had seized a piece of land in Fujian decades ago, and when the Wu Dynasty gathered 170,000 troops to besiege the city a year later, the walls of the Medeno people were not completed, and finally they could not defend the city and had to abandon the city. But these thieves in front of him are completely different, Liu Chuanzhi didn't dare to believe it before he saw it with his own eyes, it has only been more than half a year, and the thieves have actually established a huge city in this originally deserted seaside jungle. Not to mention the brick and wood collection to build the house, even the construction of the wide and smooth road they see now is far more than half a year!

Liu Chuanzhi was an old man of about fifty-three years old, and at this time he was sitting calmly on a stool and watching the artillery detachment not far away turn around from the coastal road. "Sure enough, it's well-trained." He couldn't help but secretly admire. He is in charge of the entire army command of Annan, and he usually reviews it once every three years, but every time he inspects his subordinates, the military households even stand out in a crooked phalanx, and they have to work for a long time without enough food, so that those military households all have a look on their faces. Most of the time, they can wave flags, hold long knives and spears and pose a long snake formation and two dragons out of the water array, so that the onlookers can applaud as if they were singing a big show. What's more, seeing such a uniform march, there is a sense of being hypnotized that makes people obsessed, and I don't know what to say about these thieves.

Just by the thieves he saw in front of him now, he could already determine that the thieves were planning to make trouble, and now they not only occupied the territory of the Wu Dynasty, but also took in the homeless people to form an army, and even made artillery, if it wasn't for chaos, there was really nothing to explain. The only thing he's worried about now is how many of these thieves are strengthening? And how much is the military ration? Where is it located? What's next for the thief?

Now that he saw the people cheering in the square under the windowsill, he was a little worried that the thief had so many people's hearts. Thinking of this, Liu Chuanzhi had to sigh again, most of these people were originally good citizens of the Wu Dynasty, and most of them had to live here because they had no overnight food, how could he not know that the people took food as the sky? If you have mastered the land and the grain, you will naturally have the will of the people, but now the big local households only care about their own food and drink, and do not sell the grain, and they do not care at all about whether the people outside the village will starve to death. Even if they force the people to rebel, they will not be able to do anything as soon as they close the gate of the village. Often, as long as there is a natural disaster, which time in An Yun and even in Annan will not kill more than 10,000 people? Forty or fifty thousand people were displaced, and men, women, and children fled to the cities, and the county officials could not control it, so they directly closed the city gates, and every day they made some porridge and went out to give porridge, and the people who starved to death were the people in the countryside anyway. If they dare to make a rebellion, the county magistrate will decide to make a rebellion and then suppress it, and directly mobilize the local guard to solve it. Although this method is effective, it is very unethical, so when I heard that the thieves accept the homeless here, most of them are happy to be a favor, and let the homeless people go to the house, and even let their men encourage the homeless people to turn in. Although this easily solved all the troubles at hand, the next problem was obvious, the thieves' grain did not bottom out as quickly as they expected, but they had been opening up new fields in the jungle for months, building water conservancy, and even creating a bumper harvest some time ago.

Liu Chuanzhi is now more and more unable to understand what this group of thieves does, if you want to say that they are proficient in civil engineering, people can really burn bricks and tiles, cut trees and build houses; If you want to say that he is good at farming, people will directly open up new fields in the jungle, turning the dense jungle that no one can walk into into ten thousand acres of fertile land, and when he came, he also saw that a large number of crops are still planted in the fertile fields, and there are many farmers working in the fields; If you want to say that you are good at strange tricks and tricks, all kinds of gadgets made by thieves are not only good and cheap, but also can provide extremely high yields, last time Cen Min came to Dongfang Port to spy on the military situation, and when he went back, he brought a big car of Dongfang Port gadgets, and when he went back, he became a sought-after commodity in Beihai City, and a small bamboo mirror was sold for a sky-high price of sixty taels of silver. Liu Chuanzhi didn't know how much money he earned, but it can be imagined from Cen Min's recently bought house and hundreds of acres of fertile land.

The knot is not far away, and the only ship hates to fight, and the loneliness is not at all

If it's just the first few examples, it can be a cash cow that can be wooed, and then a bunch of taxes with all kinds of tricks in the class will be fine. But what about the advancing soldiers in front of you at this time? Liu Chuanzhi couldn't help but show a worried look on his face, took a sip of the tea on the table with his left hand, and stroked his beard with his right hand, "What do you think of this soldier?" ”

A staff officer who came with him on the side hurriedly said, "Although the small look at this soldier is huge, but most of them should be bluffing. ”

"Oh?" Liu Chuanzhi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "I don't know what this brother thinks?" Why don't you tell us about it? ”

The staff officer suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "The sun and the moon are five elements, everyone in the world knows that water and fire are mutually reinforcing, and a certain soldier is equipped with a firecracker, if there is a war, they must all want to shoot it with firearms." The dance of the fire gun is also equipped in my Wu Dynasty, but the shooting is more than ten zhang away, and it is very easy to blow up, and the soldiers are reluctant to practice it with the fire gun in the practice on weekdays, at this time, the fire gun equipped by the Dongfang Gang thief, even if the quality is good, even if it is not much better, if it is an ambush in a narrow strip, the elite soldiers on both sides are ambushed. An order is given to attack violently, and the thieves who are not good at melee combat will surely be dispersed. ”

"There are short blades on the firearms of the Yu Guan soldiers, it seems that they can be used for melee combat, right?" Another staff officer on the side whispered.

"No, no," the staff officer who spoke had a fart expression, "but all those who have used the firearm will secretly think that the power of the firearm is immense, and it is invincible to manpower, and they will inevitably practice the shooting of the firearm with their hearts and ignore hand-to-hand combat." However, when the power of the fire gun is also weak, Yu heard that Dongying has a secret technique, which is tied into a bamboo shield with thin bamboo strips, and the projectiles of the fire gun cannot be penetrated, if the soldiers in front hold a bamboo shield and block the shooting in front, and the soldiers in the rear hold the sword and shield closely behind, and when they approach to fifty steps, the sword and shield hand will fight in front of them, and they will break the fire gun formation. ”

"It's a good plan!" There was a staff officer next to him who praised softly, and the person who was praised was so smiling that he almost had a feather fan in his hand. "If you can choose a good day, when it rains, the fire of the soldiers will not be able to shoot, and you will have to be captured. There are many soldiers in my Heavenly Empire, and there are more than 10 million good generals, take advantage of the chaos to cover up and kill the past, not to mention these fake soldiers, even if they are real generals, their heads will be cut off. As he spoke, his face was full of pride, as if he had already won the battle.

Liu Chuanzhi shook his head with his beard, and after a little consideration of the staff officer's speech, he said softly, "The thief is not an ordinary pirate, it has been more than half a year since he came here, and at this time the Oriental Port City has been formed, but he does not think about looting. ”

"Garrison? Could it be that the old man thinks that there are still people behind him? ”

"No," Liu Chuanzhi shook his head, "Cen Min said that there are only more than 500 people in this Dongfang Port, and most of the people we can see here are turtle people who have become turtles after being taken in. If there is a thief and someone behind him, it should be to expand to the neighborhood, not just the hedgehog to live here. Everyone, please think that more than 500 people can open up such a big situation, and if there are still people behind, there must be a larger layout. The old man felt that the thieves must only be more than 500 people who are here now, and there will be no second batch of thieves in the future. ”

After not hating ghosts, enemies, and cold hating Lone Star

"What does the old man think? Why don't you let it continue to occupy the land of the Wu Dynasty here? ”

"Naturally not, the old man just thinks that the origin of these thieves is interesting, this 10,000-mile sea frontier has always been a sea defenseless, we often need to run back and forth around the sea frontier, the Wu Dynasty naval army has been weakened since the defeat of Zheng He's fleet, and our naval army does not necessarily have an advantage in the face of the Maidno naval army at this time against one."

"What do you mean by that?" The staff officer who had made plans to fight the thief before couldn't help but be a little inexplicable, looked at Liu Chuanzhi and asked softly. "A thief is a thief, and coastal defense is coastal defense, and there is no intersection between the two."

"Where is there no intersection?" Liu Chuanzhi glanced at him and continued, "The thief came from the sea, so it must be said that there must have surpassed the Maidno people on the sea, and I saw the steel giant ship of the thief yesterday, and the iron clipper without sails and oars, and its proficiency in sea sailing and combat is probably already surpassing that of the Maidno people." As he spoke, he nodded at the capital ship of the Victory floating on the sea in the distance, "You see, their warship is clearly a Medeno capital ship, this kind of capital ship was built by the craftsmen of Yaning for the Medeno people, and the cost is high. The old man once wanted to buy one in the name of Annan Sailors, but he was offered 60,000 taels of silver by the Medeno people, and it was only an old ship. But in the last few days I have seen two ships in the port of Vostochny that are manned and cruising at sea, and there are two other damaged ships of the same kind on the southern beach, whether they were captured by thieves from the Maidno Naval Division in a naval battle. ”

Revenge is far from being a ghost knot, and the knot is far from a lonely ball

The people next to him all gasped, seized from the Medeno Water Master? How is this possible? At that time, the 170,000 troops of the Wu Dynasty encircled and suppressed the Maideno people who landed, they were only 2,000 people, and the city was not yet built, so they could beat the 170,000 people of the Wu Dynasty with about 2,000 troops and rapid firepower. However, Lord Liu actually said at this time that the four Maidno warships should have been captured from the hands of the Maidno Naval Army, so how strong is the strength of the thieves?

"Let's not talk about these things first, eat," Liu Chuanzhi saw that everyone was in a daze, so he wanted to liven up the atmosphere and pointed to the table, "There are a few rare things here, this is called peanuts, this is corn, all of them are rare delicacies." ”

However, those staff officers were all thinking about things at this time, and no one spoke, Liu Chuanzhi sighed, put down his chopsticks, took a sip of wine, and then said, "The old man actually has an idea, it is better to recruit these thieves." Immediately, there was a gasp around him.

"Master, no, soldiers and bandits have not been separated since ancient times, these bandits are difficult to change, and something will happen to Zhao'an sooner or later." As soon as a staff officer's voice fell, another staff officer also hurriedly said, "Yes, sir, this matter must not be allowed, if this group of thieves is recruited, wouldn't it be in response to the old saying that murder kills people and sets fires and waits for peace?" ”

"Murder and arson?" Liu Chuanzhi laughed shamefully, "The thief is here to be safe, I don't know what bad things he has done?" Let you and others be afraid of this? Is it the righteousness that razed the Anyun bandits and pirates who have been in turmoil all year round? Or drove away Wen Xinyi, who was very angry with the people? ”

(Friends!) Happy Double 12 Chop Hand Day! Haha, I wish everyone can buy their favorite treasures, and I wish everyone can leave the money they want left! )
