Chapter 26 Several Broken Ships

"Zhang Jun, I'm really sorry. You've been delayed for so long, and I can't leave again for a while. I'm really ashamed to delay your shipping schedule." Sun Shao apologized and said to Zhang Qian, "You see, if you are really in a hurry, you can go first?"

Zhang Qian laughed and said, "Let's do it, let's do it. I know that the general is now busy with official business, and he must not be unable to leave. Besides, his wife is pregnant and can't go far. It's time to recuperate. The general can live in Panyu for a while at ease. When he comes next time, he will talk to the general.

"Hahaha, then I'll be waiting for you." Sun Shao held Zhang Qian's arm, sent him out of the door, and said goodbye.

At the gate of the Taishou Mansion, he was looking at Sun Shao. It happened that Sun Shao was also looking at this arrogant big man. The two looked at each other and said almost at the same time: "Dare to ask..."

The two were stunned at the same time, and then laughed again. Sun Shao laughed loudly, but Shi Wei just grinned and then raised his head reservedly. He hugged his fist and said, "Do you dare to ask your Excellency, General Henghai and Lord Sun Shaosun, the governor of the South China Sea?"

Sun Shao hurriedly returned the salute: "It's me. I don't know if you are?"

"This is Lord Shiweishi, the general of Dinghai Zhonglang." Wu Yan hurried forward to introduce, and then said, "Wu Yan in Changsha, I'd like to see you, General."

"Changsha people? Do you know Wu Jun, the old governor of Changsha?

Wu Yan's face darked: "It's the father."

Sun Shao said "Oh" and said apologetically, "It turns out to be a descendants of Wu Jun. It's a pleasure to meet you." He has not been idle these days. He not only turned around Yishi, but also investigated Shiwei. He knew that Wu Yan was Wu Ju's son, but Wu Ju's head was cut off by Bu Qian. After reading for a few days, it is said that he came from Yingchuan College. After Wu Ju was killed, he entered the Shiwei Mansion, which was covered by Shiwei. Bu Qian really didn't dare to do anything to him.

Sun Shao looked at the several attendants behind Shiwei who were carrying burdens and said puzzledly, "The general is coming today..."

Shiwei curled his lips secretly, and his heart was a little angry. He said to himself that this boy looks smart. Why does his mind turn so slowly? I came with a gift. Of course, I came to see you. You still thought I was in business, but you didn't know to invite me in for tea.

"I came here today to visit the general specially." Shiwei reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "As a general in Dinghai, he is a colleague with the general. When he heard that the general was in office, he came to visit the general."

"Oh--" Sun Shao suddenly realized and clapped his hands and said, "I really forgot that I'm still a general of Henghai. Oh, don't mention it, General, that's just a show. Don't take it seriously. Hurry up, hurry up. Hey, you ignorant things, the general came, but he didn't know how to inform him. It's really impolite to let the general wait outside the door. General, I'm really sorry. These people have just arrived at the treasure land and don't understand the rules. Please forgive me.

Shi Wei smiled hypocritically, said a few politely, and took a few steps side by side with Sun Shao, and suddenly felt a little strange. He frowned and found that Sun Shao was one or two inches taller than him. Usually, he is used to walking with people shorter than him. He is used to a condescending perspective, but now he has to look up and talk to Sun Shao, not to mention how awkward it is. He quickly dragged down half a step and fell behind Sun Shao, but then he found that it was even worse. He felt like a little follower and quickly caught up with a few more steps.

Sun Shao looked at Shiwei's crampedness in his eyes, but he did not break it. He took Shiwei's arm and entered the main hall talking and laughing. The guest sat down, served tea, and said a few words. Shiwei put down the teacup and arched his hand and said, "I heard that the general was in office. He should have come to visit immediately, but The general was also a guard, and he was busy with his official duties and did not dare to disturb him, so he didn't come to see him until today. Please forgive me.

Sun Shao smiled faintly: "General, I don't like fake politeness. You may not know very well. When I was a lieutenant under the supreme account, I didn't have any soldiers under me. I was just a bare pole lieutenant. Now that I have arrived in the South China Sea, I have become a general of Henghai. It is said that there are five ships and No. 300 people. In fact, he is still a bare-pole general. You look up to me, treat me as a friend, and often come and walk around. I welcome you very much. As for my colleagues, hey hey hey, don't mention it. It's embarrassing.

Seeing that Sun Shao was a little disappointed, Shiwei couldn't help but feel a little compladened. Counting your acquaintance, I also know that you, General Henghai, are a decoration. You don't show off in front of me, otherwise I will show you a good look. He waved his hand and looked sympathetic: "I also know a little about the general's situation. It's just that since the general received this seal and received the national salary, he can't help but serve the country. Although there are few 300 people, they are also a force. Now that pirates are rampant, the general can't slack off.

"Pirates?" Sun Shao looked blank: "Are there pirates in Jiaozhou?"

Shiwei was stunned by him and subconsciously said, "Of course, there are pirates, and there are many."

"How many?"

"That's not clear. There are hundreds of large and small islands in Jiaozhou, not to mention thousands. Most of these islands have pirates, more than thousands of people, and dozens less. Among other things, let's say that the largest pirate on Zhuya Island urged the order to sign. He has more than 200 ships and 4,000 to 5,000 people. There are countless merchants who have been poisoned by him.

"more than 200 ships? Four or five thousand people? Sun Shao took a breath of cold air and looked frightened. Shiwei looked at it and felt a little more contempt in his heart. He was about to say it again when Sun Shao asked again, "How many boats and how many people are there in Jiaozhou sailors?"

"There are more than 500 ships in Jiaozhou, with more than 15,000 people." Shi Wei proudly raised his thumb: "I alone have three hundred and twenty-five ships and eight thousand three hundred and fifty-one soldiers."

Wu Yan's face suddenly turned gray.

Sun Shao looked at Shi Wei with the eyes of an idiot. When he felt something was wrong, he smiled faintly and said, "The general alone is much stronger than that urging sign. Why can the urging sign be so arrogant? This is really pugling. When I was in Jianye, some people said that the strength of the Jiaozhou sailors was even worse than that of the Qingxu sailors. Now it seems that what they said is true.

Shiwei's face suddenly turned into pork liver.

Wu Yan coughed and explained, "The general doesn't know anything. Although the number of people is not as good as that of the state sailors, he comes and goes without a trace. If it is beneficial, it will come, and if it is unfavorable, it will go. The sea is vast, and we are also powerless. Besides, although there are a large number of Jiaozhou sailors, they have to guard multiple ports, which are not concentrated in one place. Every time they fight, in fact, their strength is not as good as that of pirates. If the soldiers and generals were not good at fighting, the pirates would not know how arrogant they would be. Otherwise, how could the Yi merchants who came and went treat my general like a benefactor?

"Is that so?" Sun Shaoqiang suppressed his smile and looked embarrassed: "I haven't seen it anymore."

Shi Wei snorted angrily, and his cheeks twitched twice. Just now, he was blowing proudly, but suddenly he was stabbed by Sun Shao and felt uncomfortable all over. What annoyed him more was that he felt that he underestimated the enemy and inadvertently made a ug in front of Sun Shao, which made him feel angry, and the evil fire in his heart could not help coming out.

"General, you don't have to worry about it. You haven't fought a war. Of course, you don't know that you can't just look at the numbers. When the general fights a few battles, you will know the key here." Shi Wei said strangely, "I'm waiting to see the general's heroism."

"Yingzi?" Sun Shao smiled and shook his head and said, "Forget it. There are more than 300 generals and more than 8,000 pirates. I'm not worth taking out my eyes."

"Does the general really want to be a short general?" Shiwei couldn't wait to see Sun Shao make a fool of himself and put pressure on Sun Shao again: "As a prince, if the general does not contribute to the country, the soldiers will be disappointed."

"Is it so serious?" Sun Shao looked at Shiwei in surprise and seemed to be scared by this big hat. Shiwei nodded repeatedly and motioned Wu Yan to say a few more words. Wu Yan had no choice but to say another set of big and empty nonsense. Anyway, there was only one purpose. You should go to the barracks as soon as possible to participate in the war and serve the country.

Sun Shao seemed to be moved by him and got up and said, "So... I'm just going to see?"

"Look, look." Shiwei also stood up and politely guided in front of him. Sun Shao did not refuse. He asked Zhao Xiu and others to accompany him and left Panyu City together and rushed to the sailor camp.

Shiwei only wanted to lead Sun Shao to the camp. It was better for him to go to sea and fight two battles with the pirates, and then be killed by the pirates. It's better to drink a few more mouthfuls of seawater to relieve his anger. Therefore, he was very enthusiastic all the way and spatically introduced the warships and flags that he saw along the way to Sun Shao. Of course, he was stationed in Panyu Port. The Jiaozhou sailor in Li is his Shiwei's fleet. This is the safest port in Jiaozhou and the fattest port in the whole state. For so many years, it has been the fat in Shiwei's mouth. He rejected him several times that he wanted to transfer him.

Sun Shao was probably the first to enter the non-Shi family force in Panyu Shuizhai, and Shiwei took the initiative to come in. So when those officers who were suddenly summoned looked at Shiwei's enthusiastic welcome speech, they couldn't believe that what they saw was true, until Shiwei told them that the Henghai general's men Only when there were five boats and three hundred people did they suddenly realize.

This is a monkey that Lord Shi brought to show everyone.

So everyone looked at each other and laughed knowingly. There is no doubt that they are about to go to sea, not to fight pirates, but to see some people being beaten by pirates.

After seeing the generals, Shi Wei led Sun Shao to see the boat arranged for him. Sun Shao looked at it and almost laughed. Five broken ships were not small. They were standard warships. Four Meng Chong, and a slightly larger battleship should be his flagship. Compared with other warships in the dock, these five ships were not like warships, but like self-employed people selling vegetables. If compared with the ten boats he brought, he is not even as good as the self-employed who sell vegetables. They are beggars at all. Although the three hundred soldiers standing on the ship tried to stand upright, their thin bodies made them not look like soldiers, but like slaves who had just been trafficked.

"Is this my man and boat?" Sun Shao's face became very ugly.

"Exactly." It took a lot of effort to swallow the laughter back in his stomach: "As soon as Lord Assassin ordered it, I arranged it and waited for the general to pick it up."

"Fuck you." Sun Shao smiled, but it was worse than crying. He shook his sleeve and turned his head and left. Shiwei hurriedly followed: "General, general, where are you going?"

"I'll go to the assassin and throw the seal of General Henghai to him." Sun Shaotou got on the horse without turning back and left.

Shiwei looked back at his men who were laughing, and couldn't help laughing. Wu Yan smiled for a while and said, "General, if he doesn't do this Henghai general, the assassin will definitely retreat in the face of difficulties, so he has to send this Henghai general's hands to the general's hands."

Shiwei snorted confidently: "It should have been like this."

Sun Shao rushed into the assassin's mansion and rushed to the main hall of the office. Without saying a word, he pulled off the two seals in his waist and threw them on the case. Then he turned around and walked and said, "Lord Bu, I've had enough fun. I'll give these two seals back to you. Give them to whoever you like."

Bu Qian was stunned for a moment and didn't have time to get up. He quickly shouted, "Feng Xian, stay, stay."

Sun Shao stopped, turned his head and looked at Bu Qian, who came in a hurry, and tilted his mouth: "What's the matter, Lord Bu still feels that I'm not ashamed enough. I have to kill him all? You should know that the clay figurine also has a third surname. Don't think I'm a bad temper.

No matter how much the city was, he had never seen Sun Shao's faceless master. He quickly grabbed Sun Shao's arm, dragged him back, and said with a smile, "Fengxian, why are you so angry? Tell me first, and it's not too late to make a decision.

"Do you mean my five boats, or the supreme?" Sun Shao asked as soon as he split his head.

Bu Qian probably understood what it meant. He smiled and pondered, "Why, the boat is not good?"

"Well, it's not only good. It's so good. I can take the five boats to the river to pick up some garbage. No one will suspect that I'm fake. If I have to pull these five ships to fight the pirates, I guess the pirates are not interested in beating me. The safety is absolutely guaranteed.

"Is it so serious?" Bu Qian lowered his face: "How dare Shiwei bully you like this?"

"He's not bullying me, it's you who are bullying me." Sun Shao curled his lips and patted his hand hard on the case, which scared him and made him very unhappy. Sun Shao didn't even look at him and said to himself, "I came to Jiaozhou to do business. I don't want to be an official at all. If you want me to be an official, just do it. Anyway, it's a good intention. But now, this is not good intentions at all. It's just his mother's pit that wants to bury me in. I don't understand who I offended and have to push me to death?"

It's a little difficult to answer. He can't say that this is Sun Quan who is going to push you to death, but if he doesn't say Sun Quan, does he admit it himself? He can't bear this charge either. Sun Shao is really going to die in Jiaozhou, and he can't escape the responsibility. Of course, if he dies in the sea fighting against pirates, it will be much easier.

"Feng Xian, you think too much." Bu Qian said carefully: "I arranged this matter, but I didn't want to hurt you, but I had difficulties. I hope you can calm down and listen to my explanation. After listening, you can decide whether to leave or stay. I will never stop you.

"I'd like to hear what kind of hardships you have to play with me like this." Sun Shao brushed his hand, swept the official documents on the case, and slapped the whip on the case. No matter how deep the ruffian was, he couldn't stand it. If he didn't want to use him to fight Shiwei, he really wanted to drive him out now. In retrospect, except for having suffered this in Jiaojiao's house in his life, no one dared to be so rude to him.

"You went to Shuizhai and saw it, and you also know how strong Shiwei's strength is. You should be able to understand how wronged I am, the governor of Jiaozhou, right?" Bu Qian smiled bitterly and sighed: "You are new here. I don't know how deep the foundation of the scholar's family is. The Shi Xie brothers have been operating in Jiaozhou for more than 20 years. They are so powerful that those people in Jianye can't imagine. I came to Jiaozhou in Jian'an for 15 years. Except for the relatively smooth killing of Wu Ju, nothing else could achieve the expected goal. Shiwei wants to be in this South China Sea, not for a day or two. Can I give it to him? I gave it to him, and Jiaozhou would have no place for me to stand. The supreme stability of Jiaozhou, and the goal of competing with Cao Jian and Liu Bei was completely failed. How can Jiangdong be preserved?

Sun Shao was angry and stared at Bu Qian without saying a word.

"In the thirteen states in the world, Liu Bei occupied Yizhou, Jiangdong occupied Yangzhou, and the three families in Jingzhou each accounted for a part. The Central Plains are all in the hands of Cao Jian. Yizhou has a good location, insufficient attack, more than self-defense, and according to the upper reaches of the river, it maintains a threat to Jiangdong at any time. What's in Jiangdong? There are Liu Bei in the west, Cao Jian in the north, and mountains in the heart. In the past few years, the expeditions have been continuous, and the grain and salary are unsustainable. If it hadn't been for the influx of many people in Jiangdong and the opening of a lot of wasteland, I'm afraid that Jiangdong would have been dragged down long ago. Now the three sides are under the control, and only Jiaozhou can develop. Up to now, Jiaozhou is only nominally under the supreme jurisdiction, and the real decision is still the scholar. I'm really ashamed. I'm ashamed of my trust in the Supreme. I've been the governor of Jiaozhou for eight years, and I haven't made any progress.

Sun Shao looked at the heavy-hearted step and sneered to himself. What Bu Qian said may be true, but he used himself as a knife, which was probably a little wishful thinking. If it hadn't been for Guan Feng's pregnancy and his business plan could not be implemented for the time being, he would not be interested in accompanying Bu Qian to talk nonsense here. It's done. Jiaozhou belongs to Sun Quan. It's ruined. It's my responsibility. You think I'm stupid. It's not impossible for you to use me as a knife, but if you want me to do it for nothing, there is no way.

"Fengxian, we are all ministers. You are still a prince, the son of a rebellious general. You are bleeding the blood of the Sun family. How can you not contribute to the foundation of the Sun family? If it's dangerous, where is it not dangerous? If you shrink back because of danger, how can other courtiers do their best? Fengxian, when your father was as old as you, he had already crossed the east of the river. You ask yourself, if the rebellious general in heaven knows that you do this, will he rest in peace?

Sun Shaoxin said that if Sun Ce really wants to have a spirit in heaven, I'm afraid he should have reached his true son's spirit in heaven. He should also know how Sun Quan treated his son. He must not rest in peace. He slowed down and hesitated and said, "It's not impossible for you to go and fight with Shiwei, but using these boats to fight with him is no different from death. He doesn't even move his fingers and sends me to the pirates, and I will die."

Seeing that he was relieved, he was also relieved and hurriedly said, "How can I let you die?" It's just that giving you so many ships at once will inevitably arouse the suspicion of Shiwei, and you may not be sure to master it. In case of a setback, won't you be laughed at by others? I only give you five boats. I want you to get familiar with them first. After you have a foundation for the water war and made some contributions, you can slowly expand your strength, so that others will be convinced. You have to understand my painstaking efforts.

Sun Shao was annoyed again, "Even if you're right, you can't give me those five broken boats. It's too much to go fishing."

"So... I'll change five boats for you?" Bu Qian said tentatively.

"You dial ten more boats for me, a bigger one." Sun Shao stared at Bu Qian's eyes, as if you would quit if you didn't agree. Bu Qian hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Ouch, how about giving you another ten medium-sized warships, seven hundred soldiers, and a thousand people?"

"It's almost the same." Sun Shao reluctantly agreed and made another request: "I want to repair the ship. You give me the Panyu shipyard."

Bu Qian hesitated. Panyu Shipyard is second only to Yuzhang Shipyard in several large shipyards in Jiangdong. It is not only responsible for the replenishment of warships of Jiaozhou sailors, but also producers use ships. It is one of the important sources of income for Jiaozhou. Therefore, although Panyu Shipyard is in Nanhai County, it is not under the control of the South China Sea, but directly under the governor of Jiaozhou. Department management. Sun Shao wants a shipyard, which is not a matter of one ship and two ships.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Sun Shao was a little impatient: "Don't worry, I only repair the boat. I guarantee how many boats go in and how many boats come out. I definitely don't want more for you. Besides, even if I have a boat, what's the use of me if you don't give it to me?"

Seeing Sun Shao say so, Bu Qian was finally relieved. He nodded and smiled and said, "Os, I'll hand over the control of Panyu Shipyard to you for the time being." He reached out to the case to get the pen and paper, but he felt empty. Then he remembered that all the pen and ink on the case had been swept to the ground by Sun Shao. Looking at the messy ground, Bu Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Fengxian, you are also an adult. It's time to change your temper. Don't always treat yourself as a child."

Sun Shao disdained it.

Bu Qian asked someone to take back the pen and paper, wrote a warrant and gave it to Sun Shao: "You take this to the shipyard and give it to the ship supervisor, and he will cooperate with you. Workers and materials will be delivered to you in full. You are now the fake ship order of Panyu Shipyard.

Sun Shao sneered: "Don't worry, I'll return this ship order to you after repairing the boat. I also told you that if it weren't for my wife's inconvenient to move now, I wouldn't have bothered to talk to you. How much less money did you make to do this? After saying that, without waiting for the step to answer, he got up and left, went out of the door, and left with the guard.

Bu Qian looked at the official document on the ground, the corners of his eyes beat in waves, and his face was suddenly so gloomy that he could drip water out.
