Wang Dan sighed: "It's just that in this remote place, even if a new powerful minister comes to power, he may not pay attention to it. Just like Du Governor in Jiaozhou next door, after staying there for decades, no one cares about it.
"The advantage is that you can be a high-ranking official for a long time, but on the other hand, you may be far away from the center of power for a long time."
Wu Yinzhi smiled and said: "Your distant cousin Wang Gong once said that if an official is not a prime minister, there is no way to develop talents. It seems that you also have this idea, Maoshi."
Wang Dan's face turned red slightly: "This is a common problem among the children of our aristocratic family who have good eyesight and low abilities. Don't laugh at us, Mr. Wu. I have also figured it out over the years. Maybe in terms of demeanor and literary talent, the children of our aristocratic family have advantages, but when it comes to
In terms of specific government affairs, the ability to govern the country is slightly inferior. As for the ability to march and fight, it is like a blank slate. In today's world, being able to fight is the first priority, and governing the country is second. On the contrary, those who recite poems and write
There is no use for the elegant things of talent. If you want to take power in the future, you will have to work hard on fighting wars and governing the country."
Wu Yinzhi also sighed softly: "I only realized this truth after I was middle-aged. We scholars are used to writing and writing and hate military service, so we gradually lost power. Now my eldest son Wu
Kuang Zhi, I asked him to follow the Su Wei army in Beijing to learn the military affairs in the past two years, but he only had a rough understanding of military formations. If he wanted to go into battle to fight against powerful enemies, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to do it. Now think about it, Xie Xuan in the past
People like Xi Chao have been in the army for many years and are familiar with battle formations. Therefore, even if they personally lead the troops after taking power, they will still make a difference. Now that Liu Yu and the others are in power, warriors will be in power in the future, but they are good at military formations.
Our advantage is that we are good at governing the country and writing, so you'd better not think about becoming a local official and then returning to the court to take power. In the meantime, it's best to serve in the army for a few years."
Wang Dan said seriously: "I will keep Wu Gong's teachings in mind, and I will definitely repay you twice as much in the future."
Wu Yinzhi smiled and patted Wang Dan on the shoulder: "I am old, and I can only help you to this point. From now on, the Wu family's nephews will have to rely on you to take care of them. Guangzhou is located in the south of the world, and it is still peaceful.
, there are no big and powerful enemies, at most they are small tribes with a few hundred people. They make trouble because of some survival issues. It’s not a big deal. As long as you calm them down more, even if someone makes trouble, it will be difficult to get a big response. Maoshi
, you are now joining the army as a French cao, and when you become the governor later, you can personally lead the troops and quell some small-scale rebellions, which can be regarded as a bit of experience for your military talents."
Wang Dan laughed and said: "This kind of battle with the locals will not improve my experience. Since the Western Dynasty, Lingnan has been considered peaceful. The beacon tower in Nanhai County has not seen any firework for hundreds of years. Last time
When I was hunting down some criminal thieves last month, they were all hiding in the abandoned beacon tower. Haha, Mr. Wu, you didn’t know that the moss on the beacon tower was at least several inches thick, and the fire spots were all there.
If you can’t light a cigarette, even if a powerful enemy invades, you won’t be able to light a cigarette.”
Wu Yinzhi followed and stroked his beard and smiled: "The beacon tower in Nanhai City has always been used to prevent pirates from attacking. After you mentioned this last time, I arranged for manpower to tidy up the beacon tower. In fact, I am not worried about anything.
They came from the sea simply to find something to do for the local people nearby, and then gave them some food, so that they could..."
Speaking of this, Wu Yinzhi suddenly rubbed his eyes, because he was looking in the direction of the beacon tower. Wang Dan asked curiously: "Mr. Wu, what happened?"
Wu Yinzhi shook his head: "Would drinking too much of this greedy spring water make people dizzy? Why did I see black smoke rising from the beacon tower just now?"
Wang Dan turned to look at the beacon tower and said with a smile: "I'm afraid Mr. Wu is tired today and is a little..."
His words stopped abruptly, and the smile froze on his face, because he clearly saw five black smoke pillars rising in the direction of the beacon tower, which could be clearly seen dozens of miles away.
He even faintly heard the sound of some gongs and drums coming from the direction of Nanhai City. He suddenly reacted and shouted: "The pirates are coming. This is not a drill. Everyone, please escort Wu Shijun back to the city to fight!"
Nanhai City, Waihai, Wuli.
Thousands of sea ships came over the sea, most of them were giant sea loach ships. This kind was an improvement on the 800-material merchant ship that was most common when sailing in the South China Sea. One ship can carry more than 200 people. From this fleet
Judging from the scale, there are at least more than 100,000 troops attacking. It is probably a terrifying foreign enemy that the entire Guangzhou has not faced since it was established as a county. It is no wonder that on the shore at this moment, no matter whether they are bare-chested and with feathers on their heads.
The Li and Dong natives, as well as the soldiers and civilians in Han attire and light armor, were all shouting and making a mess. Even the beacon towers on the river defense fortresses such as Yuexiu Mountain and Humenkou on one side, the sergeants and the Li people's husbands guarding the towers
, they also fled all over the mountains and fields, and the scene was extremely chaotic.
On a giant sea loach ship at the front, Xu Daofu's messy hair was flying in the air. The sea breeze blew his long hair, blowing up the hair tie, and scraping the scar on his face.
Lu Xun looked even more ferocious and fierce, while Lu Xun was wearing a Taoist robe and a golden crown, holding a fly whisk, standing side by side with him like an immortal. Lu Lanxiang was wearing a green scarf on her head, with two swords on her back, holding her arms with her husband,
Facing the sea breeze, the wind blew her beautiful face, and a pear nest suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth, accompanied by her laughter: "Brother, it seems that these Lingnan people are really frightened by our momentum.
Well, there are more than 10,000 brothers who can control thousands of huge loach ships. This ability to maneuver ships really exceeds their imagination."
Lu Xun smiled slightly: "However, if we hadn't captured many Kunlun slaves from Yizhou and Luzon along the way and forced them to row oars and set sails, we would have had less than 10,000 fellow Taoists when we sailed from Yongjia County.
It won’t be on such a scale. Yizhou is really a nice place, but it’s a pity that it’s sparsely populated and we can’t live there for the rest of our lives.”
Xu Daofu nodded: "Now that Liu Yu has taken control of Jiankang City, we are seeking death if we go back to Sanwu to fight with him. However, even Liu Yu would not have thought that we could actually walk thousands of miles by sea and come here."
Lingnan, what we have to do now is to take advantage of the panic in Nanhai City as quickly as possible and capture it quickly!"
Lu Lanxiang's eyes flashed coldly: "Third Brother (Lu Lanxiang's name for her husband Xu Daofu), I am willing to personally lead the General Guards to attack Nanhai City."
A trace of killing intent flashed in Xu Daofu's eyes: "It's not enough to capture Nanhai City. In this battle, I want to use Nanmanzi's corpse to intimidate the entire Lingnan. What I want is that after one battle, from the five ridges to the sea, there will be no more
Anyone who dares to be an enemy of the divine religion will be attacked by fire tonight!"
