Gao Shun, the command post of the naval division of the Bohai Bay, stood on the deck with an iron face, bearing the waves of the inland sea that kept coming, his expression was very ugly, although Gao Shun was an excellent commander, but it was the first time to lead the naval division to fight, Gao Shun swore in his heart that after the end of the war, he would never enter the sea again in the future, this is a kind of torture, torture in his heart, even if Gao Shun is a person with a strong surname, he can't stand it.

Not only Gao Shun, except for the 60,000 regular sailors of the Tianci Army, the rest of the 120,000 Qinglin Army, few of them are comfortable, although they are familiar with the surname of the sea and can barely walk freely on the deck, but it does not mean that they can not land in the bay for more than ten consecutive days.

The sea has always been the place where the Chinese nation wants to conquer the most, but it is the most unlikely place to conquer in this era, because in today's era, it is impossible to build a sea ship that can withstand the monstrous waves, every time the sea ship goes to sea, it must be ready to be buried in the belly of the fish at any time, of course, now the Tianci army and sailors are still within the scope of the Bohai Bay inland sea, the situation is still relatively good, if the Bohai Bay enters the open sea, what will happen, only God knows.

"General, look, there is land not far ahead." Tang Cheng, the commander of the navy who temporarily became Gao Shun's deputy general, shouted with joy on his face.

Don't blame Tang Cheng for making a fuss, although Tang Cheng is in the navy, but for so many years since the establishment of Northern Xinjiang, the sailor has not sailed into the sea for so long.

"En" Gao complied, his throat couldn't help but agitate, he wanted to vomit, but he couldn't vomit anything, because Gao Shun had vomited more than ten times, and if he vomited again, he could only vomit the large intestine.

"Let the exploration ship log in first and see where our army goes." Gao Shun glanced at Tang Cheng, who was full of joy, and felt a gloom about the future of the navy, because Gao Shun found that the commander of the navy didn't seem to be really qualified.

This way south, although there is a general direction, but there were several strong winds in the middle, so the channel has changed unconsciously, and even when the wind is strong, there are also many warships, but the salvage is timely and does not suffer too much damage.

The destination of the naval division is the eastern part of Bohai County, that is, the area from Zhangwu County to Gaocheng County, and Gao Shun's combat goal is to take the opportunity to hit the Jizhou Yellow Turban from the rear by surprise, after all, there is no naval division in Jizhou, and there is naturally no naval division in the Yellow Turban Army.

Since there is no naval division in Jizhou, naturally there will be no harbor, so this time the naval division is fighting, the warship cannot play the role of the actual surname at all, and can only do the work of being a transport ship, which can be regarded as a kind of sadness for the naval division, but with the warship in the rear, the safety of the army is guaranteed.

For a long time, Gao Shun did not agree with the formation of a naval division, because in addition to a little Yellow River area in northern Xinjiang, there is almost no place for a naval division, but it is not unthinkable that Liu Tai actually formed a navy, that is, a naval division that fights on the sea, which makes people very speechless, and even met with everyone's opposition, but Liu Tai has always insisted, and even in order to form a naval division, he did not hesitate to ignore everyone's suggestions, and came to an arbitrary dictatorship.

Although there are many people who are a little dissatisfied with Liu Tai's tough attitude, they dare not disobey, because in fact, Northern Xinjiang was established by Liu Tai single-handedly, and it is also Liu Tai's family business.

In fact, Liu Tai's idea is very simple, that is, when Europe has not yet dominated the sea, form a male division to dominate the sea, for this heroic division, the future national barrier, even if the loss is worth it, now the combat effectiveness of the naval division is too weak, it doesn't matter, as long as there is enough time, enough funds, Liu Tai believes that the Han naval division can definitely surpass all the Western barbarian countries.

"No!" Tang Cheng glanced at Gao Shun, bowed his head and obeyed the order, Tang Cheng knew the current situation of the sailor best, knowing that the sailor could barely fight in the inland sea, but if he wanted to enter the open sea as Liu Tai expected, that is, the meat bun and the dog would go and there was no return, as the commander of one of the two major sailors in northern Xinjiang, Tang Cheng felt very ashamed.

In fact, Tang Cheng is not to blame, after all, the local concept of the people of the Han family is too strong, so strong that they don't even like to leave their hometown, and in this boundless sea, people will feel a strong fear, a fear of the unknown ahead, if you want the navy to really become a navy, then you must overcome this kind of fear, of course, when the satellite has not yet appeared, if you want to know what is ahead, it is just a joke.

Watching Tang Cheng leave, Gao Shun frowned, Gao Shun, who was the nominal supreme military governor in Northern Xinjiang, suddenly thought that the current military system in Northern Xinjiang is too chaotic, and the number of troops is too much, so that most of the financial revenue in Northern Xinjiang is invested in the construction of the army. Although the army in northern Xinjiang is still one out of twelve, and it is not as terrifying as one out of ten, who can predict the future?

More than once, Gao Shun wrote to ask Liu Tai to order large-scale disarmament, at least to suppress the number of troops in northern Xinjiang at about 500,000 to 700,000, and all Qinglin troops must be abolished, and the counties and counties must be delegated to Tuntian or become free households, because Gao Shun saw that the finances of northern Xinjiang could no longer withstand major setbacks, and if a few more large-scale battles broke out and no one else was needed to fight, the internal affairs of northern Xinjiang would mutini because of financial collapse, and the northern Xinjiang securities that had been built up with great difficulty might also collapse because of this.

But for some reason, although he has written many times, Liu Tai has not responded, nor has he held any meeting for everyone to discuss collectively, as if there is no room for discussion on disarmament, how does Liu Tai plan to keep so many troops, is it true that he wants to forcibly sweep the world like the Qin State, overthrow the Luoyang Han Dynasty, and reorganize the imperial court?

Gao Shun didn't dare to say what he thought, because Gao Shun was worried that Liu Tai didn't think so, but because of his words, he changed his mind and recruited soldiers on a larger scale.

"Report to the general, the land ahead is the county seat of Yangxin in Leling Guo, Jizhou, and our army has also arrested a few fishermen, Tang Junzhong wants to ask the general if he wants to interrogate?" An eight-foot-tall sergeant came to a short distance from Gaoshun, knelt down on one knee and shouted.

"Lelingguo??" Gao Shun frowned, turned around and glanced at the sergeant and said, "Please fishermen on the deck, don't be rude, you have to use it, do you know?" ”

"No!" The sergeant's face did not change in the slightest, and after receiving Gao Shun's order, he hurriedly turned around and left.

After a while, three or four fishermen who looked rustic were brought to the deck of the command ship, the youngest of these fishermen were in their fifties, and they looked old and frail, but this is not to blame the fishermen, because at this time in Jizhou, most of the young and strong were arrested, and only a few of them could be left at home to work.

"This old man, how many years have you been catching fish on this waterfront?" Gao Shun pulled his mouth, trying to make himself look more kind, otherwise he would easily frighten people with a stiff face.

When these old people heard Gao Shun's dry words, they trembled nervously, although the scale of the development of warships in this era has been very large, and the government that is generally close to the sea will have a few warships to catch pirates, but how have they ever seen a warship wrapped in iron sheets? How have you ever seen so many and such majestic warships? This has never been seen before in history.

"Back to Master Guan, we old men have been fishing on this coast all our lives, but we haven't done anything hurtful." One of the fishermen seemed to be taking the lead, the more authoritative kind, and he trembled and said to Gao Shun.

"Ahem" Seeing the frightened faces of the old fishermen one by one, Gao Shun coughed embarrassedly twice, and said to the old fishermen who spoke: "Old man, don't be afraid, we are sailors in northern Xinjiang, not pirates, nor county soldiers who exploit the people."

"Northern Xinjiang?? The army of the Divine Marquis?? ”

"How is that possible??"

"They are not Han soldiers from Luoyang??"

The fishermen were stunned one by one, but they began to turn their heads and ears in an instant, the Tianci army in northern Xinjiang, in the hearts of the people, has always played the role of a guardian saint, and Liu Tai is a god in the minds of the people, because the people of Jizhou, almost most of them have received Liu Tai's favor, if they are not unwilling to go away, I am afraid that most of the people of Jizhou are willing to enter the rich northern Xinjiang life.

"Yes, the elders don't know yet, the Son of Heaven has put Jizhou under the command of King Yan, and now we are here to eliminate the yellow thieves and save the people." Although Gao Shun was not good at words, he couldn't help but smile and said out loud when he looked at the simple appearance of the fishermen.

"Is what the general said true??" The old fisherman who took the lead said with tears in his eyes, once upon a time, the people of Jizhou burned incense and worshiped God in the hope that Jizhou would fall under Liu Tai's rule, but they were unwilling, but fortunately, Zhu Jun was still virtuous, and the people under his rule could barely live after taking office, but now the Yellow Turban Army is raging, and the people are in dire straits.

"Really, really!" Gao Shun nodded, bowed to the old fisherman and said, "Now that the army is about to be dispatched, this general also hopes that you will tell you a little about the situation in the city, and I also hope that the old men will be successful." ”

The old fisherman was surprised by Gao Shun's admitted words, and when he heard Gao Shun ask, the fisherman who took the lead said: "The general must not be like this, what the general wants to know, we will definitely tell the general."

In the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, when did a person who was a general treat the people so politely? Gao Shun's move can be said to have moved these old fishermen very much, but even if they are moved, what about it? They are just ordinary people.

Of course, the power of the common people is strong, even a few fishermen are no exception, what Gao Shun doesn't know is that it is because of his politeness and kindness to the people that it brought a lot of benefits to the march of the army soon after.

"Actually, it's not much, General Ben just wants to know who the guards in the city are, and how many soldiers there are." Gao Shun asked tentatively, not sure, these old fishermen can know everything, after all, the number of troops is classified in every place, of course, the Yellow Turban Army, a temporary peasant army, there may be exceptions.

"Oh, that's what the general wants to know." The old fisherman who took the lead smiled, and said to Gao Shun: "General, it just so happens that the two sons of the old man are among the Yellow Turban thieves in Yangxin City, of course, this is not voluntary, but the children agreed to enter the Yellow Turban Army in order to keep their homes, and I ask the general to understand." ”

"Well, it doesn't matter, my lord King Yan stated before this expedition that the internal war in the Central Plains must not be too killing, especially these people who have been forced to enlist." Gao Shun nodded and said with a serious face.

"We are not here to fight, but to save the people from fire and water, if we kill the people, what is the difference between the Yellow Turban Army, please rest assured, as long as possible, this general will definitely rescue your child." Sensing that the old fisherman's expression was a little worried, Gao Shun spoke up again.
