The vast and boundless sea carries the fantasies of countless people, whether dreamy and beautiful, or fearful and panicked. But since ancient times, the sea has never changed its mind because of anyone, and the ocean with snow-white waves has always been so quietly watching the night of the spring river flowers and moons, and countless people have come and gone, silent. On the vast ocean, islands are scattered like pearls on the endless azure blue. Between the waves of the vast East China Sea, a crescent moon lies quietly in the embrace of the ocean.

Li Kuan stood on the beach by the sea, looking at the boats coming and going, with endless sighs in his heart. Although he knew that he would come here sooner or later, he did not expect to arrive here this way, which was the worst he expected. Throwing away all the previous qiē, and only bringing so much money to this small island in the East China Sea, I'm afraid no one would have thought of it! Looking back now, Li Kuan himself feels unusually ridiculous, he has a high prestige in Datang, especially in the army, and he also has a great influence. Jiuxianju can now be said to be all over the Tang Dynasty, and there is also a golden finger that no one knows, with such favorable conditions, it is really speechless to mix to this point. But Li Kuan thought about it carefully and felt that even if there was another miracle in the world, back to the original moment, his choice would probably still be the same. These things are determined by his character, he is not a person who has achieved great things, he is not nostalgic for power, he is not a ruthless person, he can't give up many things for many people, he is not a person with lofty ambitions, and he will not do it for the so-called righteousness. Thus deliberately hurting others becomes at ease.

So when it comes time for him to make his own choice, he will be very indecisive. He even made a lot of decisions that everyone thought were stupid, but he didn't regret it. Or even if you regret it in your heart, but if you make the same choice again, you will still stick to the original decision. Because of this character, he let go of his favorite sister's hand and watched her become the wife of Changsun Chong, whom she didn't really like, because of this character, he gave up hope of being able to ascend to the supreme position, and for this character, he would shrink on this small island. It's not that I'm taking a million heroes across this vast sea. Because he guards those bottom lines in his heart.

"Woo woo ......" the long horn sounded, this is the return of the ships that went to sea, since Li Kuan came to this Crescent Island, countless ships flying the Crescent Moon flag have set off from this small island, loaded with countless goods, to the various coastal states and counties of Datang, carrying out the same thing - recruitment, recruiting manpower, because there are too few people on Crescent Island. Even if Li Kuan brought a lot of people this time, it was enough for an island and so many people, but what Li Kuan was ready to do. These people are just a drop in the bucket, what can thousands of people do? And most of them are old and weak, women and children, young and strong people who can really come in handy. But two or three out of ten. In this way, this is only more than 1,000 people. It was far from what Li Kuan expected. Therefore, Li Kuan spent some money to let the Hidden Sect, which had already been placed on the island, go to Datang to recruit people. He wants to train a strong sailor on this desert island.

The ship docked, and one by one the young men walked down from the cabin, their faces were slightly ugly, when the Crescent Chamber of Commerce came to their hometown to recruit people, for various reasons they got on the ship of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, but no one thought that they would be brought here. The time spent adrift on the sea alone made them almost collapse, thinking about the land that was gradually moving away, countless people's eyes were slightly red, and when they came to their final destination, they realized that what they were thinking in their hearts was far from what they actually were.

At the beginning, they thought that they would become a member of the behemoth of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, maybe it was a sailor on the ship, or maybe it was a junior in the store of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce somewhere in Datang. But when they saw this island in the vast sea, they realized that all their previous imaginations were wrong, on such a small island, where is the headquarters of a chamber of commerce? At this moment, a thought flashed through everyone's minds, these people were slave hunters of some shady forces, and in order to capture slaves, they went to work as coolies in their dark workshops.

But after thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong, because although this crescent moon merchant appeared for a short time, but in the last two years, this chamber of commerce has done business unusually fairly, they come from countless places, and they can also learn some of each other's situation by chatting with each other on these ships, they found that this chamber of commerce is huge and terrifying, from Tiannan to Haibei, this chamber of commerce's footprints are all over all the coastal areas of Datang, but the goods they sell are actually the same price in these areas, For example, this chamber of commerce sells the most grain, whether it is transported to the northernmost Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, or the distant Liangguang region, there is not the slightest difference in price in these places. Selling three pennies and one bucket in the places where there is a shortage of grain in the north, then in the land of Liangguang with three crops a year, it is also three pennies and one bucket, which can be called a harsh and fair price, which makes all the young people who know about it on the boat feel incredible. Aren't these people ready to make money? But if you don't make money, what kind of chamber of commerce will you open, just be a good person, just pave roads and build bridges.

Although they couldn't figure it out, these young men still got off the boat and walked to the golden sand, and after they all got off the boat, the boat behind them went like this, throwing hundreds of people in the boat directly on the beach.

"Now, assemble ......" The sun shone all over this beach, on the golden beach, these young men who had just disembarked were looking at this small island curiously, at this time, a group of soldiers in armor, holding a long spear shining with cold light, rushed out of the woods deep on the island, one by one the spears in their hands pointed diagonally at the sky, and then one of the soldiers in the most row came to the front of everyone, shouting loudly.

The newcomer Qingzhuang was still at a loss at this time, and he didn't know what kind of future he was about to face, but after hearing this command with a commanding tone, everyone subconsciously began to act according to the order, and although they were not in formation, they were still quickly assembled together.

"Maybe you will be very strange, why did you bring you here, now I will reveal the answer for you, you are very lucky, you are about to become the most powerful naval army in the Tang Dynasty, will crisscross this endless sea, so that countless barbarians submit to our blades. This is the supreme glory, I hope you will make persistent efforts in the next training, become a qualified sailor, and dedicate your strength to my majestic Datang all over the world! The soldier who gave the order said to the men.

"How is that possible?" These young men who had just gotten off the boat and just sobered up were stunned by this news again, when did Datang establish such a naval army on this sea? And isn't the Tang Dynasty's naval army the East China Sea Division in the southern seas, and the Liaodong Naval Division established to blockade Goryeo? As the people living on the edge of the sea are still very familiar with the navy, Datang does not attach great importance to the development of the navy, this is because the Chinese nation has been a farming nation since the ancestors of Ru Mao drank blood in ancient times, and the piece of land like a chess game is the most fundamental thing in the blood of this nation. Therefore, most of the Tang Dynasty naval forces are only in the rivers, fighting those water thieves who are suffering from one side, and they never thought of establishing a strong naval army on this vast sea. At this point, the emperor and the people all think like this, this is all the sea of water, what is there to fight for, and you can't grow food on it.

"Like, what sailors, their ships are not as good as the merchant ship we just fought! Moreover, our Datang battleship overturned all the ships in the slightly larger wind and waves above the sea, and returned the navy army ...... "Under the discussion of countless young and strong people, all of them turned pale. Because if they really become some kind of water army this time, then they may die on the sea at any time, this is playing with their lives! Thinking of this, everyone's face is bloodless.

"What, scared? Are they all bad seeds? Although the sea is terrible, no one is a man with a seed under his crotch, who dares to conquer a piece of the sea? The soldier saw that everyone's faces had changed, and he immediately knew what these people were thinking.

"Can I quit?" A young man, not very old, asked softly in the middle of the queue at this time.

"Exit? No, you're here, so you don't have a choice, but you'll change your mind later! The soldier answered the boy's question in a cold voice, and said something that made people feel a little confused.

"Let's go......" The other soldiers stepped forward at this time, driving the group of newcomers in one direction. There's something out there that makes these people change their minds.

"Whew...... Ha...... Call...... ......The sound of shouting and cheering came from afar, and it was heard in the ears from a long distance, with a vigorous force, and at this moment, it made people have an indescribable throbbing in their hearts. It seemed that the cells all over the body were cheering up with this shout, and everyone's faces began to glow with a trace of blood red with this strong aura, which was their deep curiosity and thirst. After turning the corner and climbing up the lush low mountain, a wide field of vision appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the scene in front of them completely shocked them.
