On the open sea, a huge fleet is slowly moving forward, and its goal is Liaodong. ↖,
"General Gan Ning, only three warships? Could it be too few?" On the flagship of the warship, Yang Chen asked a general next to him. This time they came out with a huge fleet, but that was because troop carriers followed, and there were even some empty ships, only the responsible helmsman and captain, and the others were empty.
"Short?" Gan Ning looked at Yang Chen over there and smiled, "Your Excellency Yang, you probably haven't seen the power of such a monarchy!" Gan Ning said to Yang Chen.
"En?" Yang Chen raised his eyebrows. He really had never seen the power of this new type of warship. He had been in charge of affairs in Liaodong, and these so-called Sovereign level warships were only recently replaced by the navy. Pretend.
These warships are very huge, more than two or three times larger than the previous warships of the Yangzhou Navy, but they don't have the necessary sharp weapons of the Yangzhou Army, such as bed crossbows.
Instead, it turned into piles of iron bumps, which in Yang Chen's eyes were absolutely ugly. What is the use of these things, Yang Chen has no idea.
"Haha, Master Yang, don't underestimate these iron lumps. These iron lumps are not a little bit more powerful than the bed crossbow." Although Gan Ning was smiling, he did not mock at all. Meaning, because he had the same idea at the beginning, but in the end, he was completely overwhelmed by this thing.
"General, why don't you show off to Lord Yang Chen!" Liang Chen, Gan Ning's lieutenant over there, came over shyly.
"Eh? Who is this?" Yang Chen saw that such a military general is not like a military general, and a civil servant is not like a civil servant. You say you are a military general. He was wearing an official hat. You said he was a civil servant. He was wearing armor again.
"Take off those hats of yours, and that brocade robe!" Gan Ning shouted at Liang Chen with a gloomy expression. It was embarrassing, "Master Yang, this person is the lieutenant general of our army and the captain of the Dahan." Gan Ning had three Sovereign-class warships in his hands, one Huaxia, one Dahan, and one Yanhuang.
"Master Yang, I made you laugh!" Gan Ning cupped his hands at Yang Chen.
The current Liang Chen is Master Liang. In the past, water thieves wore those brocade clothes. They were vain in their hearts, but they were actually very inferior because they were afraid that others would look down on them. After all, they were thieves, but now it is different. They have become officials, and their official positions are not small. According to Liang Chen With his current status, the county lords of their county in the past would have saluted Liang Chen when they saw him.
That's why this kid is very twitchy. Now the hat he wears on his head is the general's uniform, except for fighting. Generally, generals do not wear armor.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Yang Chen didn't care about this at all. Strange people and strange things, talented people have a lot of problems, and what he cares about are these three monarchy-level warships. "General Gan, what did the general say just now?"
Looking at Yang Chen's expectant look, Gan Ning knew that a demonstration was necessary, so he couldn't help but glared at Liang Chen over there, thinking that you were troublesome. Originally, Liang Chen didn't show up, so he didn't need to demonstrate Now, you have to know that once the cannon fires, the gold is ten thousand taels. Although it is a bit exaggerated, there is still a loss in firing the cannon. What's more, they will demonstrate once more this time, so when they are waiting to attack Liaodong, they will have fewer times to kill the enemy. ah.
However, Gan Ning still took Yang Chen to the open sea to show off.
"General, there is a small island ahead!" Liang Chen said to Gan Ning.
"I want you to talk more! Set sail."
I won't describe the specific scene, but after returning, Yang Chen's complexion changed in two ways, one was purple, which was caused by fright, this power, could it be the sky thunder? Otherwise, why is it so powerful. It is said that when the small island was discovered thousands of years later, the god of thunder worshiped by the aborigines on the island was because of this time.
There is another color, which is red, and it is an excited look. With such a sharp weapon, what is Liaodong
"Go! If I can't take the head of Gongsun Kang, I won't go either!" Yang Chen was so ambitious.
…
The pier in Liaodong is deserted. It is good that Liaodong is close to the sea. This port is also a good port. It is a pity that it is not the era of great navigation, so the sea transportation is very empty. It was built when the army and horses were traded, and it was expanded when it was traded with Liu Mang, the king of Shu in Yangzhou, and it has become such a scale now.
His Royal Highness the King of Shu in Yangzhou has now fallen out with Liaodong, so naturally the port has been abandoned.
The people on the pier who rely on their strength to eat have also lost their jobs, and the shops on both sides have lost their vitality.
"Hey, don't you think that Mr. Gongsundu is lying! You insisted on hiding it from that Cao A, now it's all right, let us drink the northwest wind all of a sudden, if you want me to tell you, what's wrong with His Royal Highness the King of Shu?" Good!" A coolie porter complained from the side.
"Talk less, and be careful not to be caught by Lord Gongsun Du's men!"
"What are you afraid of? I won't steal or rob. I don't have anything to eat now, so don't let people say a few more words." There are only a few merchant ships, how can it be enough.
With such a voice, many people around him looked over.
"Look at what look, I've never seen people get angry!" As the saying goes, when a person is in a bad mood, he doesn't feel good about anything, and now this Liaodong commoner shows it vividly.
"Look at you, you can't look at it!" Not only was this strong man full of resentment, but the others were also very upset, like a powder keg that exploded as soon as it was ignited.
"Yo, you bastard, you want to practice with me, don't you!"
"Practice and practice, who is afraid of whom!"
"Made, I'll cut you to death, you bastard." As soon as he said that, he did it. This is the folk custom of Liaodong. We don't talk about reason, we only talk about fists.
"What's going on, what's going on!" In just a short while, work started over there. These porters came from one village after another, and people in their own village were beaten. Of course I can't be cowardly. To go back. The more people were beaten, the more people were beaten, and now the trouble has finally attracted people from the government.
If the fight continues like this, it will be a big deal.
"What's going on? What's going on!" All the yamen servants in the government office came, even with sticks in their hands, because they knew that it was useless to reason with the people here, they had to rely on their fists.
After this inquiry, I realized that the big things are useless, just two people who don't like each other, because there is no business. Under the pressure of resentment, it broke out completely.
Even the officials of these county yamen complained about their master, Gongsun Du, because when they traded with His Highness the King of Shu in Yangzhou, they did not take less kickbacks, and that manager Yang Chen Yang was also very good at being a man. A little bit of petty profit made Gongsundu's officials smile, and the door of convenience was naturally wide open. It can be said that Yang Chen was able to leave Liaodong so smoothly and the officials of Liaodong put a lot of effort into it.
"Looking for qi to make trouble, come on, bring me back to the county government office, and let the magistrate interrogate me." Because there is no filial piety. The county lieutenant in the county is angry, and there is another incident on your side. This is not to find out the pump.
"Yes!" The yamen servants were ready to take those troublemakers back.
Some people were waiting to be captured, but some people were unwilling, especially those who were injured in the fight just now. They supported their opponents and were taken down by the yamen servants. They took the opportunity to step forward and slap them twice.
The person who was beaten immediately refused to accept it. You bastard dare to beat me, and if I kill you, you have to break free from the shackles of the yamen servant.
This is tied up, how can the yamen servant let you break free so easily, so if you want to break free, you will have to be hit with a stick or two by the yamen servant.
It was very annoying to be attacked by someone, but you gave someone two sticks, and it exploded immediately. Regardless of whether you are from the government or not, you just rolled up your sleeves and went on. Hit your father, I will cut you to death!"
"How dare you beat the yamen servant!"
"What's wrong with the yamen servant, I'm still beating the yamen servant today!"
Wow, the scene is completely out of control now. It used to be just a fight between ordinary people, but now it has become a war between ordinary people and officials. The enemies who used to fight have now become teammates. Old and new grudges should be properly settled.
"Don't fight, don't fight, let's die, let's die!" Someone shouted loudly from the side, hoping that the two sides would restrain themselves, but when an old fist hit his handsome face directly.
"I'm going to fuck you, I don't care, I don't kill your grandson, I and your surname!" It's true that killing people is nothing.
You punched me to the flesh, even our county lieutenant was beaten into a pig's head. Seeing that a weapon fight was about to get bigger and bigger, suddenly someone shouted loudly
"Don't fight, don't fight! Over there, the ship from Yangzhou is coming!"
"Yangzhou ship?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, subconsciously let go of their hands, and looked at the sea surface. Sure enough, there was a ship slowly heading for the port of Liaodong far above the sea level.
This is a fleet, which can come in the size of the fleet. There are only two of them, one of which is the former Jiangdong little overlord Sun Ce, and the other is the fleet of Yangzhou Shuwang, but they both became Yangzhou Shuwang later. The fleet, because even the little overlord of Jiangdong has become the king of Shu, Liu Mang.
"It's from Yangzhou, the boat, it's from Yangzhou. The fleet is here. Brothers have business and a way to survive!" The coolie porters over there jumped up excitedly, and the merchants over there were also smiling, because The arrival of merchant ships from Yangzhou represents the arrival of business.
Even the officials under the command of the county captain are all smiling, because the arrival of the Yangzhou caravan once again means that their income is coming again, how can they be unhappy.
It's just that the county lieutenant next to him is not so happy, but has a bad idea. He is a county lieutenant, so it can be said that he is already an official.
The eldest son, Gongsun Kang, knew what the chief manager Yang Chen sent by the King of Shu in Yangzhou was doing.
Qianjin exchanged millions of gold for armor and swords. This is completely robbery. Even the eldest son Gongsun Kang even used the sword. In this way, Yangzhou can be said to have completely torn apart from Liaodong. Once you come to Liaodong to do business, then there is only one possibility.
"Enemy!" The county lieutenant spit out these two words with his eyes wide open. (To be continued..)
