Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2632 Set up a bureau, what exactly is the bureau

   Jiangdong.

  Yangzhou coastline.

  On the south side of a small island with a little barren vegetation, a group of pirates watched the sails rise and couldn't help cheering in unison. They had stayed here for more than ten days. There is not much water on the island, only enough for them to drink, and now they can finally leave this ghost place.

  Pirate Hu Yu stood on the bow of the ship, "Listen everyone! This time, we have to move faster! When the time comes, you must obey the orders! 』

"clear! 』

"got it! 』

  The pirates shouted miscellaneously.

  Hu Yu nodded, then waved his hand, "Let's go! 』

  The pirates at this time are not Japanese pirates.

  In fact, the Japanese pirates appeared on a large scale, it should be during the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Japanese pirates did not dare to invade China at the beginning, they just stared at the old friend Hao Bangziguo. In the eighth year of Yuanyou in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Korean navy captured a pirate ship on Yanping Island, and for the first time left the title of "Japanese pirates". Yes, this title was first given by Bangzi Kingdom, a natural enemy, and not the name of China. . The Japanese pirates first invaded the Korean Peninsula, firstly because of the proximity of the road, and secondly because of the weak military strength of Goryeo. It was not until the end of the Ming Dynasty that the Japanese pirates discovered that the behemoth of the Ming Dynasty was actually very weak, and then they began to invade the coast of China.

It can be said that Japanese pirates refer to a certain group of pirates after the Northern Song Dynasty, but on the coast of China, pirates have existed since ancient times, and they are very complicated, good and bad, just for the sake of making money, or part-time pirates. , has everything. For example, in the era when Japanese pirates were rampant in the Ming Dynasty, there were also many fake Japanese pirates.

  The first great pirates recorded in historical documents were Sun En and Lu Xun in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty. Sun En used the "Five Dou Rice Road" founded by his uncle to develop believers, and then fled to the sea to establish a stronghold. In more than ten years, he moved to the vast area south of the Yangtze River, across the East China Sea and the South China Sea. Sun and Lu finally failed, but this sea rebellion was called "the beginning of the Central Plains pirates", and later the pirates called Sun and Lu the "pirate ancestors"...

   These are big pirates who are causing chaos on a large scale, and there are countless small pirates.

  For example, Sun Jian "encountered" pirates...

Although Sun Jian's father is a descendant of Sun Wu, his ancestors also served as prefects, but by the time of Sun Jian's father, Sun Zhong, his family business had already been ruined, and he could only grow melons for a living. Distinguished guests can't bring out any good things for the banquet, so they can only "set melons and pay", but such a family of melons can make a team with knives, guns, and horses I'm going to fight the Yellow Turban Bandit, um...

   On the whole, Jiangdong is currently full of merchants and pirates.

Hu Yu was very familiar with the surrounding islands and natural seaports. While standing at the bow of the ship, he said to the second master next to him: "Jiangdong has made some new ships... It is said that they are not bad, but Jiangdong's elite navy It's all up north! So... hehe, they are all newbies! This is our chance! They will arrive at Peninsula Harbor in a few days, we will set up an ambush to lure them over, and then...』

  Hu Yu stretched out his hand and squeezed it, as if grabbing something in the air.

  The second leader said: "Since we know they are in Peninsula Harbor, why don't we touch them in the middle of the night, grab them if we can, and burn them if we can't. That would be easier, so why set up an ambush?" 』

  Hu Yu laughed and said, "We want ships and people! Without these captives, how can we negotiate terms? 』

  Second Master nodded, "But what if we... attract more Jiangdong navy at that time?" 』

  『Afraid of a fart! Hu Yu said, "Didn't I say that?" The elite Jiangdong naval forces are all in the north! Confronting the Cao family in the north, how dare you easily mobilize them? Don't worry, even if we are really transferred, we will shrink into the sea, what else can they do? If we can't be found, what can we do, no matter how elite we are? At that time, don't you want to go back obediently? 』

The Erdangjia himself is not a smart person, so it is not bad to be able to ask some questions. Seeing that Hu Yu was prepared, he didn't say anything more. After saying hello, he changed the boat and went to the front to do it. Pioneer.

  Hu Yu raised his head and looked in the direction of Jiangdong, "Your son of the Sun family, your father owes me, now you should pay back some of it!" 』

  …(`dish)#…

  In Wu Jun, a small courtyard.

   This small courtyard is not big, but it is extremely delicate. The courtyard is surrounded by whitewashed walls, green willows hanging around, hanging flower gate towers, hand-painted verandahs, all of which are not lacking. In addition, the courtyard is decorated with mountain stones, but it is really ingenious everywhere.

  In the hall, although there are not many furnishings, everything is extraordinary. The one-foot-high red coral is inconspicuously placed in the corner of the hall, as if it is a worthless sundry, and the picture scrolls hanging on both sides of the hall are the protagonists.

Because it is early summer, the warming mats in the banquet have not been put away yet. At first glance, they are inconspicuous, but if you take a closer look, you will find that these warming mats are actually inlaid with high-quality fur. You must know that this is not in the north. In the desert, but in Jiangdong, if you want to get a whole set of warm pads made of fur with the same design and color, the price will definitely be high.

  In the hall, there were two figures, their minds were basically not on these items, but gathered together, whispering in secret.

  『Sun’s son has been keeping his filial piety for some time...』

  『That’s right, Mr. Zhang is already calculating when he will show his love. 』

  『Is that so…』

  The two figures were silent for a while.

  『This matter should be prepared early...』

  『Brother Taiwan means…』

  『Break its minions! 』

  …o(TωT)o…

  If there are more horses in the north, then there are more boats in the south.

   Moreover, Jiangdong has a complete set of shipbuilding institutions, craftsmen, and timber reserves. Once the secret battleship technique obtained from somewhere arrived in Jiangdong, it was immediately added to the ranks of manufacturing...

  The three warships manufactured in advance are sailing on the sea.

  These three warships were originally half manufactured. Later, according to the new design drawings, watertight cabins and new sails were added, and new masts were erected. So-so can be regarded as new-style warships.

   Around the battleship, there are more than a dozen sub-class warships, and three new warships formed a new battleship formation, slowly sailing on the sea.

  This voyage can also be regarded as a combat exercise.

  Jiangdong, in fact, does not control a very long coastline. It is probably only in the area of ​​Jiangsu and Zhejiang in later generations. The area going to the south of the Yangtze River is basically a blank area. In this area, there are many small islands that don't even have names.

Each ship on the new warship has seven or eight hundred soldiers, and the warship has two or three hundred. There are also some small boats and supply ships that carry goods. Zhou Tai didn't bring much supplies, so he had to go to the peninsula port ahead to replenish them.

   Zhou Tai's injuries were not completely healed. However, Zhou Tai didn't die, he really took his injuries seriously. It wasn't that Zhou Tai was pretending to be 13 on purpose like someone said, or that he didn't know whether the injury was serious or not, but that Zhou Tai was not qualified to spare his life.

  Both Zhou Tai and Zhou Yu have the surname Zhou, but this Zhou is not the other Zhou.

  It’s like many social animals in later generations who have come to society to work hard, are they all born phoenix reincarnations, and are not afraid of sudden death? Didn't these people cry when they encountered small wounds on their fingers when they were young, and felt pain for a week when they held up their fingers?

  Who hasn't daydreamed of being a princess and prince? Most of them were woken up by the icy water of reality in the end.

  Zhou Tai didn't have time to cry, he didn't even have time to recuperate from his injuries. If he didn't come out to do this trial voyage, he might even be transferred to a certain ravine and die inexplicably.

  There are many generals in the Jiangdong water battle, but should these generals put down the soldiers they originally commanded to lead this trial voyage...

   Well, so Zhou Tai seized the opportunity.

  After Sun Quan’s downfall, well, strictly speaking, it’s not considered a downfall, it’s just a filial piety, but during the period of Sun Quan’s filial piety, these subordinates who originally belonged to Sun Quan will inevitably be excluded by others, or even framed.

  It’s like Ji Yan, who is now being accused of corruption, and is closing the door to thank guests and accept investigation.

Although Zhou Tai belongs to the military, he can't do anything if someone really troubles him, so this time, Zhou Tai set sail, in addition to wanting to avoid the political vortex, he also wanted to make some tricks, at least for himself Some meritorious deeds will save you from disasters.

  The Jiangdong gentry did not pay much attention to Ryukyu and Dongwa.

Although it is not an impossible task to go from Jiangdong to Ryukyu and Dongwa, but there are also many people in Jiangdong, like some very smart people, who will say that the technology is not up to scratch, the sea chart is not complete, and the training of soldiers and sailors Insufficient, wait, it's like they don't go to sea, the sky can automatically fill the charts, and they can automatically train the sailors, and then wait, wait until everything is ready, the productivity and production materials are complete, and then come to develop Ryukyu and Eastern Japanese.

  Zhou Tai thinks differently. He himself is a reckless person, and he doesn't know what productivity or means of production are. He just knows that he was picked up by Sun Quan himself, and it is a relationship between loss and prosperity. Now that Sun Quan can't move, Zhou Tai has to do whatever he can do right now.

  Zhou Tai believed that there were opportunities in Ryukyu and Dongwa, so he planned to test the voyage for a while, and then after the sailors got used to the new ship, they would have sufficient supplies and go to Ryukyu or Dongwa!

  『Lieutenant Zhou, the wind and waves on the sea are dangerous, and the captain’s forging ahead heart, we all remember it in our hearts, and we all admire it. It's just that the lieutenant's body hasn't recovered yet..." A military marquis next to Zhou Tai said with a smile, "It's better to wait for the front to reach the peninsula port, and the lieutenant can stay in the port to rest... This new ship has a trial voyage, the rest of the matter, We will definitely do it properly, the captain will just wait for our good news...』

  Junhou patted Zhou Tai's **** while looking at Zhou Tai's expression.

  Zhou Tai wants meritorious service, don't others?

  Currently, Zhou Tai is directly under about one-third of this fleet, and the rest are either novices or dispatched from other places.

  『Hehe, it doesn’t matter if someone is so favored by the lord and only injured? "Zhou Tai laughed, "This time the new ship sails will help the Lord's overall situation, how can it be underestimated?" 』

  Zhou Tai knew that the Marquis Jun had no good intentions, but what could he do? At least the Marquis Jun showed that he cared about Zhou Tai's body. Could it be that it was wrong for the Marquis to care about himself?

   Junhou saw that Zhou Tai was not fooled, and he didn't force him, so he flattered Zhou Tai again.

  『Chen Junhou, although the lord says he is filial and unable to marry, we, as ministers, must do our best to do our duty. How can we be disrespectful? 』Although Zhou Tai is a general, he can still say a few words in this kind of scene, 『This trial voyage will not only stabilize the defense line in the Jiangdong sea area, but also help the lord to make great achievements in the future! 』

  Chen Junhou nodded quickly in agreement, with a respectful expression on his face.

  『By the way, I heard that pirates harassed the port of Jiangdong, went ashore to plunder, murder and set fire, and did all sorts of crimes. Is this true? 』Zhou Tai suddenly remembered the news he had heard some time ago, and asked.

   Chen Junhou took a quick look at Zhou Tai, bowed his head and said, "But there is something to it. In this land of South Vietnam, there is no distinction between good and bad. There are often people who live on the sea, rebellious and unruly, just like barbarians in the desert. If they are useless, they will invade the place. It is really hateful! 』

  Zhou Tai snorted coldly, "If we meet this time, we can train Erlang well!" 』

  Chen Junhou was obsequious, with his head down, but his eyes were wandering, thinking about something.

  The new ship and his party arrived at the peninsula port on the third day.

  Zhou Tai commanded the ship to enter the port, and then the soldiers and sailors were busy up and down, supplying supplies, checking inspections, and repairing and repairing.

  Zhou Tai did not disembark, but stayed on board to rest. At midnight, a warning message came, saying that pirates had invaded the village!

  …m9(`Д)…

  At this moment, in Wu County, Lu Xun had just left the official residence, got into the vehicle, and staggered home.

   During this period of time, Lu Xun has basically been like this, leaving early and returning late.

  The light of Lu's lantern flickered and swayed.

  Because it was already approaching the curfew, there were basically no people on the road. When they arrived at Lifang, Fang Ding was already used to it, and nodded with Lu's driver's servant, and when Lu's car entered Lifang, he began to close the door.

  『Son of Lu, what are you doing? It's so late every day, who are you pretending to show? I heard..."

The other people’s Lifang saw that there was no one else, so they could close the door earlier, and closing the door earlier, of course, means that they will be on duty earlier, like Lu Xun, who steps on every day, and sometimes even arrives a little later. The dissatisfaction of these Fang Ding.

  When the leader heard this, he turned his head and scolded, interrupting that Fang Ding, "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up! If you say it in front of Lu's face, it's useless to mutter behind your back! 』

   Fang Ding, who complained, didn't say a word, but he was still a little resentful.

   Among the Lu family, Lu Ji was also a little puzzled. After welcoming Lu Xun into the hall, he asked, "Why do you come back so late every day?" Are there too many affairs in the bureaucracy? 』

  Lu Xun wiped his face with a hot towel, then smiled and said nothing.

  Lu Ji was silent for a while, and when the servants retreated, he whispered: "I heard rumors that... you are not capable enough, and some small things have to be done over and over again, that's why it's so late every day..."

  Hearing this, Lu Xun smiled again.

  Lu Ji glanced at Lu Xun, "This rumor...you did it on purpose..."

  『Hush! ’Lu Xun immediately stopped laughing and made a gesture of silence.

  There were footsteps under the hall, and then some servants brought some simple supper, a bowl of clear porridge, and a dish of pickles.

Naturally, Lu Ji had already used the dried meat a long time ago, and Lu Xun didn't talk too much nonsense. Holding the bowl, Xilihulu finished eating in a blink of an eye, then rinsed his mouth, and asked the servant to put the plate down, and then the two of them had a meal together. Before and after, I went to the study silently, lit a candle, and sat down.

  『Do more, make more mistakes, do less, make fewer mistakes. ”Lu Xun said slowly, “Jiangdong is now in a precarious situation, so we have to be careful…”

  『Is it from Marquis Wu...』 Lu Ji raised his eyebrows.

  Lu Xun nodded, then shook his head again, "Almost. But... Marquis Wu better come out later...』

  Lu Ji raised his eyebrows, "Why not just..."

  Lu Xun shook his head, then looked at Lu Ji quite seriously, "This must never be said! Woe to words! 』

  Lu Ji nodded and said, "I know, I just don't understand..."

  『Jiangdong,』 Lu Xun was silent for a while, and then whispered, 『Jiangdong must have Marquis Wu... Otherwise, there will be chaos! 』

  Some things seem very unreasonable, but since they exist, they have a certain degree of rationality.

   It's like Sun Quan.

  Many people in Jiangdong don't like Sun Quan, such as the Lu family, in fact, they don't like Sun Quan and the Sun family.

  But rationally, Jiangdong must have such a person as a nominal commander, just like a big man needs an emperor. The Jiangdong gentry hoped that Sun Quan, like Liu Xie, would be ostracized, the "back-up man" in name, but Sun Quan was obviously unwilling.

As far as the Lu family is concerned, because the Lu family has suffered heavy losses, if Sun Quan stands in the way, the Lu family will not be the first target of the Jiangdong gentry, and if there is no Sun family, then the Jiangdong gentry will naturally not exist What a unified front, the big fish eat the small fish will be staged. From this point of view, the reason why Lu Xun chose to bow his head and work under Sun Quan was here.

  『Now I’m in a hurry to cut off his minions first,’ Lu Ji said, 『If Marquis Wu comes out, he will be furious again... But this time, Marquis Wu will somewhat restrain himself...』

  Lu Xun smiled, "What else can I do? That's all. 』

  『Well... I heard something a few days ago, saying that there are pirates infesting and invading villages...」 Lu Ji nodded and said, "It seems that there is probably another mystery..."

   "This is when..." Lu Xun said halfway, then suddenly paused, then put his hands on the table, stood up abruptly, and his face changed.

   "You are..." Lu Ji didn't understand why Lu Xun suddenly had such a reaction.

"broken! ’Lu Xun’s face changed, ‘It’s hard to say that this gave Marquis Wu a chance! 』

  Lu Ji was taken aback when he heard the words, "So...in this way, could it be that Zhou Gongjin... did this game? 』
