Considering factors such as territorial area, population, economic strength, and military strength, the four major powers in the world in this era were the Han Empire, the Roman Empire, the Rest Empire, and the Kushan Empire.

Coincidentally, the four empires fell into internal problems almost simultaneously: the Yellow Turban Rebellion triggered by the rule of Emperor Huan Ling of the Han Empire, which now developed into a north-south confrontation between Cao Wei and Sun Wu; The slavery system of the Roman Empire was at its end, the conflicts between slave owners and slaves were acute, rebellions were rampant, and military usurpation of power was frequent; The Empire of Sabbath is in the midst of a civil war between its own brothers, and Rome is still in the midst of it; Many parts of the Kushan Empire were freed from rule and declared independence.

In other words, the three empires can provoke Lyle as much as they want, and offending him to death will not cause trouble to Great Wu.

As for the countries outside the three empires, they were either in a backward state of slavery, scattered and scattered, or underpopulated, and there was no need to mention them at all.

- It's a pity that none of the above information is known to Lyle, and no one knows about the more than 20 million people in the entire Han Dynasty.

"Captain, this is the port." Therefore, Lyle could only be conservative and attack the Baicheng Dynasty that was easier to bully due to the emergence of the feudal system in the mouth of the merchants who ran the 'Maritime Silk Road'.

"Oh! It's finally time for this day! The raunchy Gan Ning cracked his mouth, and his fierce gaze turned to the port town, which was still just a small point for the time being, "Regiment leader, are you going to attack the merchant ships coming and going nearby, or directly bombard the town?" ”

"It's up to you." Lyle shrugged his shoulders and teased, "It is rumored that someone has a domineering personality and doesn't even obey the lord's orders, so I'd better give fewer specific orders." ”

Sun Quan will not kill the heroes on trumped-up charges because of this kind of thing, and he is better than Yuan Shao in this regard, but the evil consequences are still inevitable, and the current official position obtained by Gan Ning is no longer consistent with his military exploits.

However, from Gan Ning's standpoint, this kind of thing can accuse Sun Quan of being narrow-minded, and from Sun Quan's standpoint, it can be said that Gan Ning deserves it, which is the same thing.

"Heh~" Gan Ning sneered and didn't say anything about this sensitive issue.

But everything is relative, Sun Quan's reward for him is not in place, and he is dissatisfied with Sun Quan's loyalty, but now Jiangdong is thriving, and there is a tendency to dominate the country, he will jump to Cao Wei when he is crazy.

Gan Ning turned around and shouted: "Little guys, prepare to bombard the port and see if the divine soldier invented by our regiment commander is good overseas!" ”

"Yes! Captain! ”””

The order was transmitted to the escort ships through the flag, and the Koto Pirates were fully active for the first time.

The artillerymen ran to the gun compartment on the first deck below, removed from the ammunition compartment the gunpowder preserved in the highest specification, completed the loading of the first shell, opened the movable window, pushed the cannon forward, and the gun muzzle protruded from the hull; The sailors put on the armor they had not worn for many days, and armed with ring-headed knives, ready to engage in broadside battles or landing battles; The sailors began to adjust the sails, with the goal of mooring the boat not far outside the dock.

"Xianggong, you go up first." Sun Shangxiang didn't know when he had gotten the bow and arrow in his hand, and his high-spirited appearance was only inferior to Gan Ning.

Ignoring her, Lyle walked up the stairs on either side to the upper deck, which was located at the stern of the ship, which had nothing to do with the battle, and said to the two maids who had been following him, "One of you will help me remove the earmuffs, and the other will help me prepare the drawing paper and charcoal...... Well, the logbook and the pen and ink are also together. ”

In order to protect his ears and those of his crew, Lyle invented earmuffs without much effort, because of the material problem, they were naturally not as good as the earmuffs of later generations, but it was much better than not doing any ear protection measures at all.

Lyle and Sun Shangxiang's exclusive earmuffs are essentially the same as the earmuffs of sailors, not particularly noble, but when the sailors want to use it, they take one at random, and usually mix it in a box, which makes it feel a little dirty.

“？” The two maids glanced at each other, both of them were puzzled, shouldn't the old man, who is handsome but has negligible combat effectiveness, hide in the cabin and wait for the battle to end, "May I ask if you want these things to ......?" ”

"The purpose of painting paper is to draw port towns in foreign countries, so that my father and mother, who have lived in the Han Dynasty all my life, can also see the outside world." Lyle has comprehended the sketch painting method by himself, which is not the freehand painting method popular in the Han Dynasty, and combined with his unforgettable skills, the degree of restoration is first-class...... However, this method of painting was criticized by many people at the time, and he is currently the only one who is proficient.

"As for the logbook," Lyle said, turning to look at the black dot that had grown a little larger than before, and closed his eyes after a few breaths of silence, "—this is the first day we have begun to be inferior, and history should always remember me for what I am." ”

In order to satisfy his ideal of sailing and seeing the world, he could only rely on the national strength of Soochow and had to create killings and disasters.

Such a guy, to say that it is a 'beast' is also an insult to those birds and beasts who only fight for survival.

》》》》》》》

The people of this era do not have such a high moral quality, and almost all of them are racialists, the difference is only that some people drive others to extermination, some people regard others as slaves to drive, and some people do not have practical actions but have a strong arrogance in their hearts.

If Lyle forcibly pressed down compassion for the sake of his own ideals, others did not have compassion from the beginning, and regarded this group of dark-skinned (Han people's view) and strange facial features (Han people's view) foreigners who were far away from the Han Dynasty for an unknown number of kilometers as beasts and as meritorious deeds, and did not show the slightest mercy at all.

Of course, the love can be left behind, but the gunpowder and shells still have to be left. Bombarding buildings and ships with stone bombs, and creating panic with incendiary bombs, the people of the Baicheng Dynasty, who were using weapons that were much inferior to the cold weapons of the Han Dynasty, cried and shouted for refuge, and then Gan Ning ordered a ceasefire, led his troops to land, and smashed and looted near the dock.

The cannon is so loud that most people will run away, but there will always be a few exceptions-

"It's enough for her, the others are sent to other ships, don't stay in the cell here." Lyle pointed to a teenage girl who had been hiding at home out of fear and had not run away, "...... By the way, she was handcuffed to a chair, but her hands were free to move. ”

Lyle is the real supreme commander of the Pirates, and he doesn't need Gan Ning's retelling, and the sailors carry it out directly.

Gan Ning was curious: "Commander, what are you doing here?" ”

Although Lyle said that the captured female slaves would be disposed of at the disposal of Gan Ning, obviously knowing what would happen to women if they fell into a pack of wolves, Gan Ning didn't think that Lyle was blind enough to let Sun Shangxiang go to sleep without sleeping (Han point of view), and even the maids brought by Sun Shangxiang were several times more beautiful than this girl from the Baicheng Dynasty.

Lyle took the blank pamphlet from the maid's hand, took out a charcoal pen from his body, and replied casually: "Learn the language of the Hundred Vehicles Dynasty." ”

“？？？” Gan Ning leaned back tactically, and Sun Shangxiang was also speechless.

"What, do you think I'm bent on going to sea, and I like to float around on the sea full of dangers and nothing? Am I a fool? Lyle rolled his eyes, "I want to see the outside world, but obviously I can't step on every inch of the world, I can only rely on the knowledge of others...... It's not good to not understand other people's languages, and I have to learn the languages of every country we have harassed. ”

"They speak bird language that they don't understand at all, is it really that easy to learn?" Gan Ning questioned.

"If you don't study, you'll never understand." Lyle pulled over a chair and sat directly across from the little girl from the Hundred Vehicles Dynasty who had been tied, and opened the pamphlet, "...... However, this kind of thing will be left to me, the head of the regiment. ”
