With Wang Xu's words, Fan Tong gradually calmed down, his eyes were engrossed, and he fell into memories.

Yan Ming, Zhang Ning, and Zhang He also became interested in what he had just said, and looked at him silently.

"General, the contemptible was an ordinary fisherman in his early years, living in a small fishing village by the sea in Zhangwu County, Bohai County, and his life was not bad, although he was not rich and expensive, but he also had no worries about food and clothing, his parents were healthy, and he also set up a family affair for the contemptible people in this village. But ......"

Speaking of this, Fan Tong's face changed suddenly, revealing unforgettable hatred: "But that year, the Yellow Turban thieves plundered, and somehow robbed our village, the people who live by the sea all the year round have no ability to defend themselves, all of them are brave, of course, it is impossible to be restrained, the whole village rose up to resist, but unfortunately there were too many people on the other side, and after only two days of support, they were completely degraded, and all the men, women and children in our village were all killed, and only a few people escaped." ”

"I ...... I ......" Speaking of this, Fan Tong's eyes moistened, and his words were choked: "My parents fought to death, and my wife who did not pass through the door, even if she had committed suicide by biting her tongue, was still ...... by those beasts and them Insulted! She was 14 years old. ”

Fan Tong almost bit the root and spit out such a sentence, buried his head deeply, and cried bitterly.

"Hey!" Wang Xu sighed softly, but didn't say anything.

The sensual Yan Ming was already in tears and sobbed quietly.

Only Zhang Ning's face was blue and white, and his expression was complicated, the yellow turban thief was brought up by her deceased father Zhang Jiao, although his father's intention was definitely not like this, but in the end, it caused such a result, and it is difficult to escape the blame in any case.

"Mourning!" Zhang He reached out and patted Fan Tong's shoulder. Wen Yan comforted. He knew very well how much some of the Yellow Turban tribals had gone too far. He had seen too many miserable scenes.

This Fan Tong is also a strong man, he quickly took a deep breath, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "General, let you see and laugh!" ”

"Where, this shows that you are a man with affection and righteousness." Wang Xu shook his head with a smile and changed the topic: "What about later?" ”

"In those two days, the contemptible people happened to follow some of their fellow villagers to the sea. Not in the village, so he escaped by luck, and when he came back, he found the fellow villagers who escaped the catastrophe, and only then did he know what happened, and then the survivors organized together, looking around for the small group of yellow turban thieves, to avenge the villagers, but within a few months, the yellow turban was pacified, so the contemptible people are grateful to General Wang in their hearts. It was you who broke the Guangzong and avenged us poor people. ”

"No, I don't. That's the right thing to do! Wang Xu smiled faintly. Go on. ”

"Hmm!" Fan Tong nodded, and then continued: "After that, some of us homeless people returned to our hometowns and settled down again, while our group of young people chose to go adrift at sea, and with the united efforts of everyone, we quickly developed a sizable fleet, until one day, our base camp, that is, the island where we settled our families, suffered a catastrophe. ”

"Island?" Wang Xu guessed a little before and after contact, and immediately said: "What did the Japanese do? ”

"Not bad!" Fan Tong's face was full of vicissitudes, and he said bitterly: "Our fleet transports goods, hunts and kills sea fish, and travels through various islands in the East China Sea to trade, so naturally we have a grudge against the Japanese pirates, but unfortunately we are very united and strong, and those pirates can't do anything with our fleet." ”

"But no one expected that someone in the fleet was bribed to reveal the location of the island where we housed our families, and when we learned the news and rushed back, there were already corpses everywhere, I had no family at that time, but others did, and under the leadership of the eldest brother, the brothers launched a revenge and chased and killed the Japanese pirates."

"The real culprit was frightened, I didn't expect to return to the mainland, we also followed the pursuit of the past, after a lot of hardships, and finally found its footprints to reach the Yamatai country, after more than two years of twists and turns, but also got the support of the Yamatai court, finally killed the powerful bandits, revenge."

"It's a pity......" Speaking of this, Fan Tongyi sighed. The eldest brother was unfortunately killed in the last battle, and there were only a few brothers left, and soon after I returned from wandering with everyone, many brothers were tired and tired! ”

"Slowly, the team dispersed, the brothers went their separate ways, I also drifted on the sea, looking for a way to live, some time ago wandering near Zhangwu, was found, said that there was a good business, the pay is very high, so I agreed, but I didn't think that it was to escort General Wang south."

As he explained the cause and effect, everyone was full of emotion, and it was easy to say, but no one knew how bumpy those experiences were.

Wang Xu didn't comment on anything, and after a moment of silence, he asked with a smile: "Navy, listen to what you said before, when you chased and killed that Japanese bandit, the court of the Yamatai Kingdom also helped you, aren't they afraid that you are the invaders?" How can I help you kill the widows? ”

"The general doesn't know, the Japanese pirates are very rampant, not only in the East China Sea, but also more near the Yamatai country, and many of these bandits are even those old forces who oppose the Yamatai female emperor Himiko, when I was over there, I heard that there were dozens or hundreds of small countries in front of the unification of Yamatai in Nabemiko, and all these bandits were the henchmen of the Yamatai court."

"At first, we were also pursued by the court over there, but then we took up the name of the Han Navy, and they sent envoys to meet us, and when they learned that we were here to hunt down the pirates, they tried their best to help."

As his words fell, Zhang He immediately nodded and agreed: "General, this subordinate also knows that the Evil Matai Female Emperor once sent an envoy to visit my lord, and she really wanted to be friendly with the Han Dynasty, and she was quite submissive, and she also said that those bandits could be killed, but it was a disaster, and it had nothing to do with the imperial court." ”

"Hmm!"

Wang Xu also knew in his heart that in his memory, during this period of history, Himiko did often send envoys to visit, and after Cao Wei unified the north, the two sides had close contacts, and the Cao family also canonized Himiko as the "pro-Wei Wa King" and awarded him a golden seal.

"What is the strength of the Evil Horse Tai Kingdom?" Wang Xu asked again.

"The water army is very strong!" Fan Tong did not hesitate and responded quickly. "But forget about the horse infantry, even the villain, who doesn't know about the military, can see it. The weapons and armor over there are very backward. ”

"What do you think. If the Great Han and the Evil Horse Terrace have a war one day. What are the odds? ”

"At war?" Fan Tong was stunned, obviously not expecting him to ask this question, but he quickly replied: "If you can defeat its naval army and land on a large scale, then it won't take long to defeat it lightly, but it's ......"

"But what, you can be blunt!" Wang Xu suddenly paused when he saw him talking about the key point, and guessed that he had some scruples. Wave your hand now and let it continue.

"This ......" Fan Tong was still a little hesitant.

"You say it bluntly, no matter what, don't blame!" Wang Xu made a promise again.

"Okay!" Fan Tong saw that he insisted on asking, so he raised his head. "If it is really a fierce battle at sea by the navy, then the Han has no power to fight back at all, the territory of the Yamatai country is not large, but it is surrounded by the sea, it is an island country, and it is common for its people to go to sea, and the navy is very powerful. And we are big ......"

"Go on!"

"In fact, we Han don't have a real water army at all!" Fan Tong gritted his teeth and said categorically.

Zhang He was immediately a little unhappy. In his heart, the Great Han is the strongest country in the world, how can he be weaker than others!

What do you mean? Although there is no navy in Hebei, the Jingzhou navy under General Wang, the Jiangdong navy is famous in the world, and it is the elite of the elite, how can it be defeated by the barbarians? ”

"General Zhang!" The words have already been spoken, and Fan Tong has no scruples. "The Jingzhou Navy has never seen it, but the Jiangdong Navy has seen it, but in all fairness, those warships are not suitable for going to sea at all, what kind of building boats, in the rivers, it is indeed powerful, but if you enter the sea, there will be a little bigger wind and waves, and you will sink."

"Then if it is replaced by this sea ship, as long as the soldiers are elite and the generals are good at fighting, they will be able to win." Zhang He said stubbornly.

Fan Tong was not good at competing with Zhang He, so he hesitated and didn't speak at the moment.

Wang Xu didn't care so much, glanced at Zhang He, and said to himself: "Navy, don't worry about Junyi, he can't get over the hurdle in his heart, if you tell it, he will naturally understand." ”

"No!" Fan Tong received Wang Xu's order, thought for a while, and continued: "General Wang, General Zhang! You seldom go to sea, you don't understand the difference between the sea and the rivers and lakes, and many of those tactics cannot be realized in the sea. ”

"For example, when fighting in the sea, the first thing to consider is not how to set up a situation to annihilate the enemy, but how to ensure that you are not swallowed by the sea first, how to avoid risks, and only by defeating the sea can you defeat the enemy."

"The strongest storm at sea can completely overturn the entire fleet in an instant, and the strong and dangerous area, if there is no way to deal with it, hundreds of thousands of people can be wiped out in the blink of an eye, this sea is too vast. Therefore, if you have not really felt the sea and are not familiar with the sea, let alone fight at sea, I am afraid it will be difficult to even survive. ”

"So powerful?" Zhang He's eyes widened.

"There is no half-lying statement that the contemptible person guarantees the head of the item, and the problems of naval warfare are far more than that." Fan Tong looked at Zhang He squarely, and his tone was very affirmative.

Zhang He didn't speak, muffled and silent.

Wang Xu fell into deep thought, he had the knowledge of later generations, of course, he understood that naval warfare was very different from river and water warfare, but he also didn't know anything about naval warfare, so he kept asking.

It was a long time before he slowly broke his silence. "Navy, how long will it take to train the Jiangdong Navy into soldiers who can fight at sea?"

Fan Tong pondered slightly, and then said: "Two years, at least two years, so as to ensure that the initial combat effectiveness, if you want to become an elite sea warrior, it will take a longer time, and you must not train in the river, the training place of the sea warrior can only be in the sea!" ”

The time he said was less than Wang Xu guessed, mainly because of the lack of advanced equipment in this era, and many problems at sea had to be solved by human experience and overcome by people themselves, so the transmission of knowledge and the training cycle would be greatly extended.

After a long time, he finally raised his head, his eyes burning: "Navy, come with me, go to Jingzhou, teach your maritime experience to Jingzhou's navy, in the future, the world will be peaceful, I will let you lead the invincible navy across the sea, expand the territory, and live forever!" ”
