Chapter 374: Joint Exercise
Julia's annual income is only fifty gold coins, and pirate income cannot be counted, it is foreign wealth, and Wei Feng opens his mouth with an annual salary of five hundred gold coins, which is equivalent to the total income of ten years of wandering on the sea!
Julia is twenty this year, thirty in ten years, pirates, especially female pirates, should retire when they are thirty years old, she can buy a decent house in New Rome City in ten years, and use the rest of the money to take care of the rest of her life, but Wei Feng gave her an annual salary of five hundred gold coins, so that she immediately overturned the original plan, she can't wait to sign a ten-year employment contract with Wei Feng, and after ten years, she has five hundred gold coins and five thousand gold coins are two concepts!
With joy in her heart, Julia hugged Wei Feng with a bear hug, and gave a fragrant kiss to her cheek, and then said happily: "Envoy, your generosity has touched Julia so much, Julia is happy to serve you!" ”
Xie Gongyi, Chen Maiden and others were a little stunned, originally they had a very good impression of Julia, and felt that this blonde woman had a straightforward temperament, but at this time, they all buttoned her up with a big hat of an adulteress! In broad daylight, hugging a man and kissing without warning, this is not an adulteress or what?
Wei Feng's rare face turned red, broke free from Julia's soft chest, and smiled awkwardly: "Don't be surprised, this is the etiquette of the Romans, the Romans are enthusiastic and unrestrained, they love to chew spices in their mouths, and the kiss has no other meaning, just to express the joy and respect in their hearts by sharing the fragrance between their lips and teeth with each other!" ”
"Oh~~" Everyone's eyes appeared one after another, thinking that such a custom is indeed peculiar enough. It's just that after looking at Wei Feng, he is more or less weird, in their cognition, Wei Feng is still the first time to take the initiative to break out of a woman's arms!
Wei Feng didn't explain, he couldn't explain it, the problem was the smell of Julia, Westerners already have a heavy body odor, and the sweat from a fight with Miss Chen was simply uproar, in fact, for Wei Feng, such a smell is not unpleasant. On the contrary, the strong hormonal taste is mixed with the rich rose fragrance and another kind of stimulation. Coupled with Julia's strong and full body, his underneath is hard!
Because of his bad impression of a Roman woman, Wei Feng didn't want to have too much to do with Julia, so he could only get out of Julia's powerful hug!
Wei Feng turned his head and arched his hand: "Lady Julia." At present, the port is still being selected. But not for long. I'll let you know in a few days, well, I'm honored to meet you today. That's not bothering, farewell! ”
"Please make you go slowly!" Amid the strange sounds of the Roman merchants, Wei Feng and the others walked under the ship.
Seeing his back gradually disappear into the crowd, Antonio's bearded old face showed obvious joy, and he thought: "Julia, you have to behave well in front of the envoy, and you must make him pay attention to you!" ”
Julia nodded: "Uncle, don't worry, I will be worthy of my salary of five hundred gold coins!" ”
Antonio was speechless, shook his head, and reminded: "This is only one aspect, but more importantly, this Governor of the East has an extraordinary meaning to me, to you, and to all of us, as you all know, although our surname is Odoxia, we are only the slaves of the adults of the clan, and ninety percent of the money we have earned at the risk of our lives has fallen into their pockets, and they have used our money to live a peaceful and luxurious life, maneuvering among the upper nobles, sitting at home for nothing, I'm sure, Many of them have never even been out of the city of New Rome, so why should they? Only by virtue of the good fortune of Her Royal Highness the Empress, she was chosen by the previous emperor to marry His Majesty the Emperor! ”
The Roman merchants showed their unwillingness, and Julia seemed to understand a little, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle, what do you want to say?" ”
Antonio crossed a cross, looked at the sky, and said reverently: "God is just and selfless, we still live the life of a human being, God will not be invisible, today, God has brought this young governor of the East to us, this is an opportunity, we can earn more gold through the envoy, as long as we can get rich, we don't have to return to the family, but go to Western Rome to sell silk, and then use this money to hire enough barbarians!"
You all think about it, when we return to the new city of Rome with an army of 10,000 people, will Her Royal Highness dare to treat us as slaves? Then we will be able to offer her equal treatment, and with the army at my disposal, I will at least be a governor of the province, and you will become my officials, and you will henceforth be among the nobles, so that the prince is a gift from God and very important to us! ”
For a moment, everyone was full of horror, but then, they showed their expressions of intent again, after all, Rome was still martial, and since the destruction of the republic, it has become a political tradition for the strong and strong to have the right to speak!
Antonio was very satisfied with the change in his companions, and looked at Julia again, as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end he swallowed the words back, but his eyes flashed with excitement and longing that could not be concealed!
In the next few days, it was calm and quiet, but Wei Feng could feel that the Panyu officials and people were more respectful and eager than before when they saw him, and he understood that this was all the credit of Xiaoqing, but Xiaoqing, who was captured by him, was pitifully locked up in a small black room.
Unconsciously, three days passed in a flash, this day was the seventh day of the first month of October, a little stuffy, the sky was a little gloomy, according to the agreement, it was the first day of the joint exercise between Wei Feng and Deng Yi, just had breakfast, and the two armies each of 5,000 people came to a large open land outside the city.
Since they did not deliberately drive away, curious people stood in the distance and watched, mixed with idle and boring Roman merchants and merchants from various countries, who were still quite interested in the Jin army.
The two teams of people, one team dressed in swarthy iron armor, and the other team with dark yellow bamboo armor, looked distinct, as if everyone was holding back their strength, all with straight backs and neat formations!
Of course, for the small countries of Southeast Asia and South Asia, either of these two armies of 5,000 men could destroy their country, and they had only awe in their hearts, while the Roman merchants and the Sassanid merchants, because of their strong national strength, focused on the actual combat effectiveness of the Jin army, including the hired Germans, were watching intently.
The two armies did not move for the time being, as if they were competing to see who could stand longer, after the initial novelty, the crowd gradually buzzed, Julia looked at Antonio, and couldn't help but say, "Uncle, have you noticed?" Most of them carry bows and arrows on their backs, and do bows and arrows work on the battlefield? Can you shoot through the shields and armor of our Romans? You know, the Romans never used bows, bows were used by barbarians as auxiliary troops, and the main force of battle was glorious sword and shield soldiers, could it be that their armies were all auxiliary troops? So by what fight? ”
Antonio was also secretly puzzled, waved his hand and said: "Let's take a look at it first, just take this opportunity to see what the strength of the envoy is." ”
"Oh!" Julia nodded, looking forward. (To be continued......)
