Chapter 543: International Espionage
On the east side of the Istanbul Strait, as long as you find a slightly higher position, you can see the crystal clear Aegean Sea, the sea breeze blows slowly, I don't know why, it makes Pang Juan feel a little sweet, I remember that when he first came here, he was very unaccustomed to this kind of sea breeze, and his throat would be dry when he smelled too much, and he wanted to vomit.
"The Aegean Sea is really a nice name, but I don't know if there are really those wonderful legends in this sea as Bai Dong said? It turns out that these Western Rong people also have gods, although these gods are not very good, either they love to kill, or they love adultery~ adultery, and they are often killed by mythical mortals? This is impossible in Huaxia, how can people slaughter gods? I heard that there is another city called Athens in the west, and like many other cities, the people here are not called Limin, they are called citizens, as long as they follow the legal procedures they can have the power of nobility or even king? How is this possible! And Thrace on the other side, these barbarians are good at using double axes, all of them are tall, and they even surpass Wei Wushu in terms of their ability to fight alone? Lao Tzu didn't believe it, he just wanted to have a fight with these savages, and see if Bai Dong's kid was bragging? ”
This huge port on the east side of the strait originally belonged to the Persian Empire, and there was a shipyard near the port, originally because of the decline of the Persian Empire's national strength, shipbuilding had long been stopped, after Pang Juan and his army came, he relied on this shipyard to build his military base, a large number of resources from the Qin State were continuously supplied in these three years, and at the same time, there were shipbuilding experts and all kinds of navigation talents dispatched from Yue and Qi from far away, and now Pang Juan has learned to use the guide turtle and the 'warp and weft positioning method'. At the same time, he is also practicing seamanship and participating in actual combat. The Thracians on the other side always liked to harass his naval base on their broken ships. Is it tolerable or unbearable, Pang Juan is a dog, Lao Tzu has already raised his legs here to pee, how can he allow others to pee again?
Pang Juan drove the vigilant soldiers out, sat alone on the harbor watchtower, casually raised the glass full of wine and took a sip, looking at the Thracian Tubao faintly visible across the strait and the fleet that has gradually grown from scratch in the past three years, and his heart was indescribably agitated: "Lao Tzu's sword has been sharpened." Why hasn't the king given the order yet? And that kid Bai Dong, don't you want to see the Qin army break through Thrace and take Rome directly? It's suffocating! ”
Pang Juan is a fierce dog, whoever fights for him in this life is the master, and after a few happy battles, he unconsciously positioned himself as a Qin person; Now the same is true of the 30,000 Wei warriors under his command, as one of the two major naval armies carefully cultivated by Bai Dong, their welfare is much stronger than when they were military pawns in the Wei State, after Zhou Tianzi was promoted to the emperor, these soldiers were ordered by the Son of Heaven to expand the 'imperial army' in the west, and the Wei State did not dare to shorten their food. The Qin State will also issue another one, and the soldiers with the double 'salary' now make the group of Yongyi elite soldiers under Syrd look red. If you can't spend the monthly military money, you can also send it back to Wei's hometown through the Bai family's money bank, who gave this benefit? Naturally, it is the Qin State and the Baizi, otherwise they are afraid that they will be driven around by Pang Juan now, where is it better than blowing the sea breeze here, looking at the Aegean Sea, eating seafood, and drinking wine?
"I heard that the king has ordered the general to be made for the Qin State, this is a high title, and it is only one level worse than Wei Ying, congratulations."
A person smiled and walked into the watchtower, gently pushed the door in, at this time it was drizzling outside, this person was only draped in a wide white robe, how to look like he had just run out of the bathtub, there was a short sword hanging from his waist, but two feet long, but half a foot wide, the scabbard was decorated with gems and pearls, bells and whistles, Pang Juan doubted what use this thing could be on the battlefield.
"Jing Gong, even if you are dressed in a weird outfit, what's the matter with your curly hair? Don't you care about the face of old Qin Chongchen? Hey, I don't even know what to say. ”
Pang Juan shook his head again and again, in the past three years, Jing Jian has been going back and forth to the Istanbul Strait, every time it is his subordinates secretly picking up, at first this Jing Gong was still dressed in the standard dress of the Qin people, but now it is good, and the dress is inexplicable, the original soft and flowing black hair is not known by what means he used, and a small curly flower appeared at the tail, which looks very weird, this is the first Qin is not the big Song Dynasty that man loves embroidery and loves to wear flowers in later generations, how can Pang Juan look at it?
"When I passed through Thrace, I found that it was fashionable for people there to have this kind of curly hair, or to perm it with a burnt iron rod, and I later learned that this was the case for the Greeks and Romans. Haven't you seen how charming Roman beauties with curly blonde hair are, I love this hairstyle, so I follow the example of those Westerners who perm it, but unfortunately I don't understand how to dye my hair blonde maybe like dyeing cloth? If I have time, I have to ask Baizi. ”
"Don't talk about your hair anymore, I'm going to be crazy. Are you going to leave this time? Is Rome so good that you won't want to leave? If this is the case, Daqin should wave his army to fight over, I have practiced the navy here for three years, and there are hundreds of large and small warships, but I haven't fought all day, is this going crazy for me? ”
The more Pang Juan said, the more angry he became, he didn't love gold and silver girls in his life~ sex, but he only loved to fight, how did Bai Dong say it at the beginning? What do you say to sweep Persia and march into Rome, let his huge general establish immortal feats, but in Persia he fought a few happy battles, and then stopped at the sea to see the sea, he is not a lighthouse!
"Haha, don't worry, look at what this is?" The warden smiled and opened a parchment scroll, only to see that the borders of several countries were drawn on it, and some small people and ships were marked on the land and sea, but some places were dense and some places were sparse.
"Is it a map of the deployment of troops in Western countries?" Pang Juan is an expert in the middle of nowhere, and he can see the truth of this picture at a glance.
"Near the Aegean Sea are the Greek city-states, and further west is the 'Mediterranean' in the mouth of the white son, the Romans have now controlled most of the Apennine Peninsula in the northern Mediterranean, and the war with the barbarian Gauls is now intensifying, affected by this war, the Greek and Roman sailors are waiting for battle, and the control of the Mediterranean Sea has also been greatly weakened. The map I have given you is the basic deployment of the forces of the countries of the Mediterranean, including castles and land divisions located by the sea, as well as ports where naval fleets are stationed."
The basic prototype of this map was actually given by Bai Dong, otherwise he would not have been able to draw such a map even if he gave Jing Jian three more years, but the deployment of the forces of Greece, Rome, Gaul, and the Carthaginians who controlled the Iberian Peninsula on the map, and the location of the naval division and land division, it took Jing Jian three years to find out and add to it; In the past three years, Jing Jian is about to become a master of the West, from Greece to Rome, from the Aegean Sea to the Mediterranean, and at the farthest point to the Strait of Gibraltar, as if he has become a successful international spy, navigator, linguist, folkloist and Western geographer, with the gradual deepening of his understanding of the Mediterranean and the ancient West, Jing Jian feels that Bai Dong This kid is really terrifying, he has obviously not been to the Western world, why is the map drawn exactly the same? If it weren't for Bai Dong being an old Qin man with a red roots, he would have suspected that this kid was just like himself, and he was simply a spy sent to Lao Qin from the West.
"I see!"
Pang Juan's eyes lit up: "Bai Zi wants me to lead the sailors to attack Western countries?" Say, which country should we attack first? I'm not boasting to you, after three years of training, my gang of sons and daughters have gone to the sea to touch the fish, get on the boat and sail, and if the world-famous Wei Wushu phalanx is used in naval battles, it will be indestructible! ”
"Hehe, if it's such an order, then it's not me who came to you, the Son of Heaven or the king will give a direct order, the general's order this time, Bai Zi has an incomparable description" Now Pang Juan is a young man, according to the rules of the Qin State, the unified army will be called the general, and the same as the fungus reform that led the army to crusade against Yiqu that day.
"What kind of description?" Pang Juan was not surprised.
"Quietly enter the village, don't move" (to be continued......)
