Chapter 65 Pirate Mobilization

Funan Bay, an unknown island five miles away from the coast of the special pastoral city, flags fluttering, as if showing off something to the special pastoral city 20 miles away. After all the annihronism of the Southern Marine Division, Cui Qian discussed with Yue Hai and simply stationed the camp at the gate of Temu City, making it clear that there was no water division to bully Fan Man, and there was nothing he could do with them.

Training and life in such an atmosphere made the sailors feel infinitely proud. The bad luck chased by the Funan sailors for half a month was swept away, and the shame was doubled to the special pastoral city. They have regarded Funan Bay as the territorial sea of Vietnam. They routinely patrol the coast every day. Considering that this land is already their own, pirates can't rob anymore. Even pirates can't rob at their doorstep. Rabbits don't eat grass.

The pirates have some opinions, but in front of Cui Qian, the silver power of the big pirate, they can only put up with their opinions.

Today, Cui Qian brought them to welcome Sun Shao, the king of Yue.

When the pirates first heard the news, they were a little excited. They were familiar with the soldiers of the master, and probably knew some stories of Cui Qian being made dirty by Sun Shao at the beginning. They were very puzzled. Even Cui Qian could admire what kind of person was the king of Yue who was so impressed? It must be eight feet tall and eight feet wide, right?

When the one-eyed eagle first raised this question, he was immediately spit on his face by the soldier who was spitting: "Your old master looks like this. Our Yuewang is a very handsome young man. When he was in Jiangdong, everyone called him Sun Lang. If your mother talks nonsense again, I will cut you with a knife.

The one-eyed eagle is curious. What kind of person is the King of Yue who can be protected by the soldiers like this? General Zuo Cui Qian has 5,000 sailors, the latter general crosses the sea with 5,000, and Zhuge Zhi and Wei Wen each have two or three thousand people. What does the king of Yue look like when he goes out to patrol? It must be a banner like clouds, and there are as many warships as fish, right?

No one expected that the spectacular scene they were waiting to see did not appear. When Sun Shao's ship appeared in their sight, there was only one building ship. When the building ship first appeared, the pirates thought it was a pioneer ship and came to report the news. They craned their necks and looked back, but it looked at the only one ship. They couldn't help but be a little anxious. When they heard that this was the ship of the king of Yue, the pirates were disappointed. The one-eyed eagle muttered something, which happened to be heard by Cui Qian. Cui Qian turned around and hummed:

"Only you fools can rely on the power of people. Even if my king only has a small fishing boat, as long as he hangs his battle flag, he can run across the sea."

With this sentence, the pirates did not dare to say anything, and they were full of awe of the king of Yue who was about to appear. For no other reason, Cui Qian, whom they were in awe, was in awe of the King of Yue. The pirates couldn't help but be a little nervous. Now that the Funan sailors are finished, their role seems to be gone. Will the Yue sailors attack them? Will the king of Yue, who dares to cross the sea with this fishing boat, cross the river and tear down the bridge?

The ship was getting closer and closer, and the more the pirates looked at it, the more shocked they became. Someone couldn't help exclaiming in a low voice. They thought that the ship of Cui Qian and other generals was big enough, but they didn't expect that the ship of King Yue was even bigger. Looking at it out, the ship was at least thirty feet long, and the high bow was three or four feet high. It was not obvious in the distance. When they stayed close, they looked at the tall bow in front of the building blocked in front of them, and the pressure made people feel I can't breathe. A flying eagle with wings was painted white on the dark red iron wooden board, and his sharp eyes pierced the hearts of the pirates.

The building ship was too big to dock. Cui Qian personally rushed to the front of the building ship with a fighting ship, got on the ship respectfully, and stood on the side waiting. After a while, Sun Shao, dressed in a big red cloak, appeared on the side of theboard side under the escort of several powerful soldiers. He stepped firmly on the springboard and changed to Cui Qian's fighting ship. Cui Qian bowed down to accompany him, and the pirates were palpitated.

However, Sun Shao was not fierce. He went ashore, first greeted Yuehai, Zhuge Zhi and others who came forward to salute, and then turned to the one-eyed eagle, knife face and other pirates with a good smile. If you don't look at the murderous guards behind him, the pirates will think that he is a young man next door, but just now Cui Qian's respectful appearance hit them too hard. No matter how bold they are, no one will think that this amiable young man is a good stubble.

The pirates did not dare to neglect. They came forward salute tremblingly one by one. Sun Shao asked a few questions in turn, asked what he didn't understand well, and he also had to turn back to ask Tong Qin Sai. When he heard some interesting words, they joked, everyone laughed together, but his smile was very natural, and the pirates seemed to be more or less reserved.

Cui Qian welcomed Sun Shao into the wooden house he had just packed up, sat around Sun Shao with Yuehai and others, and told the situation of the battle of Jinou Island in detail. When he ordered Yuehai and others not to support, he couldn't help but feel a little awkward and looked at Yuehai with embarrassment. In the report to Sun Shao, Yue Hai did not mention this matter. Now in front of Sun Shao, Cui Qian dares not to say it. This kind of thing will definitely spread to Sun Shao's ears in the future. If he hide it, it will be a crime. He is so respectful to Sun Shao today. On the one hand, he really admires Sun Shao, and on the other hand, he also deliberately acted to make the pirates fear Sun Shao from the bottom of their hearts, so as to prove that his decision at that time was the right idea.

Sun Shao smiled and tilted his head to look at Cui Qian for a while. Cui Qian did not dare to come out. He couldn't help lowering his eyelids and clicked his lips twice, but he felt that his mouth was a little dry and he didn't say a word.

The atmosphere froze for a while.

There are 16,000 troops here, including General Zuo Cui Qian, and the later General crossed the sea, while Sun Shao only brought a thousand destroyers to rush here, obviously not for reinforcements. So what did he come here for? Could it be that Cui Qian was so arrogant that he let the rear general dare to command across the sea and touch his reverse scales, so he came to deal with him?

When Cui Qian himself and Yue Hai and others first heard the news that Sun Shao was coming, they all had this idea, but no one would say it. Now it's time for the answer to be revealed. Both the parties involved and bystanders are more or less nervous.

"Jianzhong, this is my gift to you." Sun Shao turned around and took a stack of chapters from Ao Lei's hand and gently pushed it in front of Cui Qian. Cui Qian looked at the chapter and didn't dare to answer it. As soon as he looked at the cover, his heart began to beat. There are a few words written on the memorial: "Cui Qian to overpower and command the sparse."

"I... Guilty." Two beads of sweat appeared on Cui Qian's forehead, stepped back and fell to the ground.

"Building, get up." Sun Shao leaned over and pulled Cui Qian: "This is the responsibility of the imperial historians. It is their right and obligation to impeach all illegal acts. If they do not impeach them, it is their dereliction of duty. However, you did the right thing."

Cui Qian took a breath and smiled, but this smile was a little stiff and looked extremely unnatural.

"I will be outside, and your life will not be accepted. It is the responsibility of the generals to make a decision. Sun Shao motioned Cui Qian to relax, looked around, and said with a smile, "If you dare not take responsibility, you have to ask for everything. How can you fight this battle? Do you think so?"

"The king is wise." Cui Qian was the first to worship on the ground, and Yue Hai and others hurriedly followed him.

"You are all my minions. As minions, you need to have some sharpness. When you hit, you hit. As soon as there is a fighter, it is like a lion fighting a rabbit. Go all out. You can't look forward and backward. Of course, there are responsibilities, but how can people who dare not bear responsibility make great contributions?

"The King's observation." At this time, Cui Qian recovered, and his eyes became flexible.

"Jianzhong War I completely annibbed the Southern Marine Division, deterring the courage of the thieves, and meritorious. If you have merit, you will be rewarded." Sun Shao touched his chin and said with a smile, "It's just Jianzhong. In the name of unauthorized power, you are guilty and punished. The merits and demerits are equal. This promotion is impossible, otherwise the imperial historians will say that I will encourage your domineering. Let me give you an island, the Jin'ou Island. I went to check it when I passed by on the way. It felt very good. In the future, I will build a house on it and go on vacation when I have time.

Cui Qian was overjoyed. Sun Shao had always only rewarded money and did not be a marquis. So far, he has been the first person to have a fief. Although Jin'ou Island has no output, this honor is more valuable than anything else. How can he be overjoyed?

"I thank you, King."

"You deserve this." Sun Shao smiled and turned to Yuehai, Zhuge Zhi and others: "You have also worked hard. You all have rewards. I will announce it to you later. Cui Yan, come forward."

Cui Yanxiong walked forward angrily and saluted with a happy face.

"Fan Jinsheng was captured in World War I. He was brave and resourceful. He was no longer the Cui Yan of those years." Sun Shao smiled and waved his hand. Behind him, a Lang official came forward with a seal and sang loudly, "Cui Yan, the captain of the thief, is strong and strong. He captures the thief's chief alive and breaks through the enemy's courage. He was promoted to general. I hope you can continue to work hard and make new contributions.

Cui Yan was overjoyed, fell to the ground, took the seal with both hands, and answered loudly, "Thank you, King, I am willing to serve the king. May the king's power all over the world, and may I live forever for ten thousand years. Then he got up, stepped aside, and happily changed into the general's seal. The generals congratulated one after another, and Cui Qian was also very happy. Although he was a little sorry that he could not take a step up in the military, now he has won the fief, and his brother has been promoted to three levels in a row, which is also a wish.

Sun Shao then rewarded Zhuge Zhi and others. He was happy for a while before he sat down to discuss the war. Sun Shao said Fan Man's reaction. Cui Qian all realized that the war was about to begin. Sun Shao's coming to Funan Bay at this time would not be an evasion. On the contrary, he was waiting for the opportunity to seize the Special Pastoral City and prepare for the full occupation of Funan - the State of Wu was blocked in Changshan by Fan Man's army. They wanted to enter Funan. It's easy.

"The overall situation has both advantages and disadvantages." Sun Shao said slowly, "Jianzhong, you have played the prestige of the Yue Guo Marine Division in this battle, but it also makes Fan Man dare not rest assured to go to Changshan. He will definitely leave heavy troops in Temu City, which is very unfavorable for us to attack Temu City."

Cui Qian smiled awkwardly. He didn't think so much at that time.

"However, after eating the Funan sailors, this sea is our world. We come and go freely and can appear in front of Fan Man generously. Presumably Fan Man must be in a bad mood. He can only watch us fish here, not to mention 100,000 soldiers, but even if there are millions of soldiers.

"Hahaha..." The generals laughed and were quite complarious. That's how they have been these days.

"We don't have an advantage on land. At sea, we can have full control. However, no matter how strong our endurance is, we can't help but get ashore. Therefore, our top priority is to find a port that can dock. Sun Shao said with a smile, "Although the port of Russia and Eritrea is good, Fan Man will definitely not let us come and go freely, and it may be okay for the islands in the sea to replenish fresh water, but it is even more difficult to get food. I decided to send some people to the south and first divide the state of Funan, which is far away from Temu City, so that they can become our friends and provide us with a port.

"Your Majesty, these state-owned countries have a bad relationship with Fan Man, but some of them have a good relationship, such as the falling country. Because it is the old country of Fan Man and others, they have always taken good care of the falling country. It may not be easy to divide them." Cui Qian said seriously that he had heard a lot of news from the pirates recently and knew more about the dependent countries in this area of Funan. The strength of the falling country is not small. If you can't calm him down first, I'm afraid those small parliaments will have some concerns. Moreover, the falling country is on the only way for Yi merchants to go to the South China Sea. Funan collects business taxes, which is mainly the responsibility of the falling country.

"Is it?" Sun Shao waved his hand, called Cui Qian to him, and spread out the chart: "You mean the position of the fallen country."

Cui Qian pointed to the chart. Sun Shao took a look. It turned out that this falling country was near Java, that is, the eastern entrance of the Strait of Malacca in later generations, and the southern end of the island of Malaysia. On his chart, this country was called Jiguo. It may be that different people call it differently.

It turns out that Fan Man came from here.

"I know that this country has fallen. They intercepted merchant ships passing by. If they don't pay taxes, they forcibly detain the ships. Some time ago, Funan was against me, and many of our businessmen were detained by them." Sun Shao sneered and said, "Since they are Fan Man's hometown, let's start with this first."

"Your Majesty, give me this task. I will definitely beat this country." Cui Qian stood up excitedly and patted his chest and said, "If there is a king sitting in Funan Bay, Fan Man must not dare to act rashly. Without Funan's support, the country will be vulnerable."

"Lao Cui, why are you here again?" Yue Hai stood up: "You have just made a contribution and received the seal. It's time for us to show our hands."

Cui Qian grinned.

Sun Shao also smiled: "This is reasonable. You can't be occupied by Cui Qian alone. You can take a rest this time. However, you can't go across the sea. I still have to maintain the pressure on Temu City. Wei Wen, you can go.

Wei Wen, who had not spoken much, was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed. He quickly stood up and answered loudly, "Ok."

I sat back across the sea with some frustration. Cui Qian touched his head. Although he was a little sorry, he didn't fight again.

"Do you have enough manpower? Do you want to give you some more manpower?"

Wei Wen smiled and said, "I think I have enough manpower. If the king can ask General Cui to allocate some pirates to me, I will be more confident."

Sun Shao laughed. He had just heard Cui Qian introduce those pirates. He knew that these people were idle and a little bored recently. He also planned to let these pirates go out for activities, but he was worried that there were only more than 2,000 people in Wei Wen. Can he suppress these pirates? Don't be able to beat the tiger in the end, but be beaten by the tiger. Injured.

"It doesn't matter. After General Cui's battle, the pirates' awe of my Vietnamese sailors has been formed. Besides, I just need to choose some pirates who are familiar with the terrain as guides, and I don't need too many people."

"Well, I'll call some pirates for you." Sun Shao said happily, "I was about to talk to you about the role of these pirates, but I didn't expect you to have a plan. Very good. Unite all the forces that can be united. Try not to set up too many enemies. This is a general principle. You must remember it in the future.

"Oh." The generals responded in unison.

Sun Shao then met the pirate leaders. Nearly a hundred people, large and small, sat there. They were either fierce, cunning, gloomy, or bold, and in different forms. The only thing they were the same was that when they looked at Sun Shao, who was supported by the generals, there was some tension in their eyes.

Sun Shao got up from his seat and stood in front of the pirates. When he stood there, the chattering pirates calmed down and looked at Sun Shao. Sun Shao's face was expressionless, and his serious eyes swept through the faces of the pirates. The atmosphere became very solemn and even suppressed.

"Guys, you are all people with a family and a room. There is a reason to come to the point of going to the sea as a thief. Generally speaking, I think it's nothing more than two points. Either I was bullied too cruelly by the old thief Fan Man. If there is no way to live, I can only go to the sea to steal and eat for a bite. Either you like this kind of knife licking blood, and you don't want to be a farmer facing the loess. After working hard in the field for a year, you still can't have enough to eat. It's better to go to the sea. If you are lucky, you can eat for a year. In my opinion, you are probably all the latter, aren't you?

When the pirates heard this, some laughed loudly, saying, "The king is right," and some nodded shyly to show their approval of Sun Shao's speculation. Sun Shao is right. Being a pirate is nothing more than two possibilities, one is forced and the other is active. Although most people love peace, I have to say that there is no shortage of people in the world who are born to like killing and blood. Most of the pirates who can sit here are infatuated with knives and lick blood.

"Now, I tell you that this sea is the sea of my Yue country. These islands are the islands of my Yue country. The merchant ships passing through here, as long as they pay taxes to my Yue country, they are the people that my Yue sailors want to protect." Sun Shao stretched out his hand, pointed to the pirates, and said fiercely, "Funan has killed several of our merchants. I will lead a large army to march. If I don't ask for justice, I will never give up. If you kill the merchants of my Yue, you will be my enemies. Even if I chase you to the end of the sky, I will catch you back for revenge.

The pirates were shocked and their faces changed greatly.

"You may say that I'm too cruel. Yes, I just want to be cruel. The reason is very simple. My people feed me with blood and sweat, and I have to pay for their safety. This is my responsibility as a king and the responsibility of all the soldiers in Vietnam. If anyone forgets this responsibility, he doesn't deserve to be called me [*** ] People." Sun Shao shook his anger and shouted, "The responsibility of soldiers is to protect all the people of Vietnam from living with dignity, and to fight against all enemies who dare to be detrimental to the people of Vietnam. Use our blood and our flesh to fight against all enemies to the end!"

Cui Qian and others couldn't help but straighten their chests and were full of pride in an instant. The pirates were as pale as earth. They could hear that the king of Yue was definitely an unreasonable person, and these words were not made to laugh. He could go to war for several merchants and Funan. Of course, he would not pay attention to these little pirates.

"You may want to say that I'm taking your job." Sun Shao slowed down and smiled: "You are wrong. I, Sun Shao, have never been a person who has been cut off the road of life. You can ask Cui Qian. He used to be the king of pirates in the South China Sea. You can ask him if he is now more moist than before, or worse."

The pirates were a little confused. Some people heard that Sun Shao was recruiting them, but some people didn't think so. How good it was to be a pirate. He was free and followed Sun Shao. Of course, he climbed a big tree, but he was also constrained a lot.

"I'll give you two ways." Sun Shao raised two fingers: "First, take your family and become the people of our Yue. If you are willing to join the army, if you don't want to join the army, you want to farm. I will give you land. If you want to do business, I will protect your safety." He paused and looked at the pirates' expressions for a while: "Second, you can continue to be pirates, but listen to me where you rob and who you rob."

The pirates looked at each other in surprise, and the one-eyed eagle stood up first: "Your Majesty, do you mean, we can still be pirates?"

"Of course." Sun Shao stopped Cui Qian, who was about to come forward and scold him. He nodded solemnly and said, "If you still want to be pirates, I can provide your warships, your weapons, and your relevant materials. However, you must listen to me. Who can rob, who can't rob, and who can rob when? When you can't rob, you have to listen to me. As long as you don't violate my requirements, you are still free pirates.

With a "comb" sound, the pirates blew up the nest. They were all attracted by Sun Shao's words. They could not only continue to be pirates, but also get financial support from the State of Vietnam. That's good. As for those regulations, they can be accepted. Anyway, even if they don't take Sun Shao's benefits, they dare not touch the object of Sun Shao's looting - who will? He was hunted down by the Yue Guo sailors.

"If you want, you are the advance team of our Yue Guos Marine Division." Sun Shao smiled and finally said, "Of course, you still have a third way, that is, to be the enemy of my Yue Marine Division. However, I don't think everyone here will be that stupid.

"So... where can we go... rob?" The knife face stood up and said hesitantly.

"With the financial support of our country, the world is so big. Where can't you go?" Sun Shao asked with a smile.
