Chapter 1991 The largest naval battle since ancient times
Kushan has been in chaos for decades. Although the country was forcibly crushed due to the strong suppression of Vesutiva I, in terms of the situation, even Gan Ning can see that Kushan has many hidden dangers.
The biggest hidden danger is the cultural and religious conflict between the Kushan-occupied Central Asia and South Asia, a fierce conflict! From the perspective of people like Gan Ning, if Vesutiva I hadn’t suppressed it so powerfully, the two places might have split.
.
Next, there was a conflict between the nobility and theocracy, which was also forcibly suppressed by Vesutiva. Otherwise, this country would not have such power.
Like India in later generations, the Prime Minister of India said that their country has less than 200 million people, and the rest are two-legged animals. Similarly, after Kushan annexed the Baicheng Dynasty, the population is only 9 million. Well, you
You have to believe that there are really only nine million, and the rest are just cattle...
In short, even Gan Ning can see that this is an empire with great potential, but potential cannot be eaten as food. The level of internal friction in Kushan, based on Gan Ning's observation this year, is simply terrifying. It can be said that
There were so many contradictions that Gan Ning even suspected that the country would fall apart if Vesudeva I died!
It can be said that this country still has the power to suppress one party, it still has an invincible navy, and an army that has dominated the world for a long time. This country has a particularly solid foundation. The situation that Vesuthiva I learned in Gan Ning does not seem to be a good one.
emperor.
But how to put it, it doesn’t matter whether the emperor is a good creature or not, what matters is that he is suitable, and Vesudeva I’s current approach is obviously very suitable for this country, although Vesudeva I used force to force the divided country together.
, so that many conflicts were covered up, but afterwards, whether it was the destruction of Baicheng or the northern advance, it largely diverted domestic conflicts.
Well, there are still many conflicts in the country, but after all, there is no explosion. And for an empire, as long as the country has not exploded, even if it suffers from internal and external troubles, its dominance will not be generally strong.
Take the Han Dynasty as an example. During the reign of Emperor Huan, there were also internal and external troubles, but in the end there was no explosion in the country. Emperor Huan gave an order, and Duan Jun still slaughtered thousands of miles of blood. Even if the empire fell, even if he died with only one breath left,
It is not something that small countries can covet.
Even if the tiger dies, it will still be powerful, let alone not yet dead. If Vesutiva I can transfer all the domestic conflicts abroad and use war to forcibly smooth out the domestic conflicts, then even Gan Ning will have to admit it.
Great Emperor!
Having said that, it was precisely because of Vesudev I's obvious actions that Gan Ning understood what Chen Xi had been doing.
In fact, there is no difference between the current practices of Chen Xi and Vesuthiva I. They both transfer domestic conflicts abroad and then go abroad to suppress domestic conflicts with huge benefits.
But these things are not important anymore. Although Vesudeva I had the same purpose as Chen Xi, Vesudeva I's approach was too tough, so that there are now a lot of bandits, bandits and the like in Kushan.
Similarly, the Indian Ocean, which was originally peaceful, now has a lot more pirates, causing many nobles in Kushan to do business by boat and die again and again.
In short, the situation in Kushan is quite bad now, but after all, a large piece of fertile land has been newly acquired. No matter how bad it is, it is still a scabies disease for the empire, and it is not a big deal at all.
Gan Ning's current idea is to consolidate the pirates in the Indian Ocean and then feel relieved before leaving. Anyway, those who died are not his own, so it doesn't matter.
With this idea in mind, Gan Ning took the 300 men he had trained during this year and captured the first small and medium-sized pirate gathering place.
These people are all untouchables selected by Gan Ning. Originally they were only qualified to be cannon fodder. Naturally, they have no concept of the country. Of course, if one day they can be promoted to the point where their inner energy is separated from the body and become Kshatriyas, they will have great influence on this country.
The madness of love.
But now these people are untouchables, so for them, the orders of the nobles are everything. Gan Ning, a great nobleman, gave them food and weapons and equipment. They naturally fought for Gan Ning, and fought risklessly.
In short, when Gan Ning saw this group of people attacking the enemy crazily and not fearing death, Gan Ning suddenly felt that the system currently used by Guishan was very good. A glimmer of recognition from the upper class to the lower class would directly make the lower class risk their lives.
The battle!
Although the formation and cooperation were poor, the morale was really terrible. Naturally, with the efforts of this group of people, Gan Ning easily took over the first pirate's nest.
The boss of a medium-sized pirate gathering place was killed, which did not attract any attention in a pirate gathering place like the Indian Ocean. This kind of thing happens from time to time, and no one pays attention at all.
However, after the first medium-sized pirate gathering point was attacked, Gan Ning began to frantically attack the pirate groups around him, regardless of the rules set by the big guys among the pirates. Pirates are pirates, and the weak will eat the strong.
Well, what to pretend to be?
Gan Ning ignored it, no matter what the pirate boss thought, and continued to mess with the pirates around him. What should he, Gan Ning, do and he still needs the advice of rubbish?
"You will be hung on the mast and executed!" It is said that it was the envoy of a certain pirate boss who was in charge of a certain area in the Indian Ocean. When Gan Ning ordered his execution, he cursed sadly before his death.
Tao, but it’s of no use.
"Lord, this is the subordinate of the great pirate Galawa, why don't we just kill him like this?" His subordinates advised him. Although Gan Ning had started a land battle to attack his lair during this period, and then directly encircled and annihilated him in a naval battle,
Although they have won many battles, Gan Ning's men are still very timid when facing those big pirates who claim to be the overlords of the Indian Ocean.
"If you think he is lonely, you can follow him on the road." Gan Ning said casually. He ruled with an iron fist here. Anyway, those who died were not his own people, but those who were used to train soldiers and pirates who could unify the entire Indian Ocean.
That's great, but it's okay if you can't all practice together!
Gan Ning's men were so frightened that they did not dare to say anything nonsense. Gan Ning's terrifying display during the previous conquest was indeed worthy of being the overlord among pirates.
"How does Jarawa compare with Qiuli?" Gan Ning asked after a while.
It was obvious that after this period of training, Gan Ning could see that the water in the Indian Ocean, a gathering place for pirates, was not generally deep. He could actually learn some skills here that Meng Combu had never taught him. This was inexplicable.
Gan Ning was careless.
In fact, Gan Ning didn't know that Meng Kangbu didn't know these methods, but these methods were a bit dirty. As the navy of the empire, he didn't bother to use them. Of course, to Gan Ning, it didn't matter. White cats and black cats can
Cats are good at catching mice.
"Boss, how can you ask that? Qiuri Que must be powerful. All the pirates in the Indian Ocean combined may not be able to compare with Qiuri Que. That is the Thousand Sails Legion, a truly country-destroying force." Gan Ning's men made a comparison.
The pirate who received attention replied that this was the captain who had taken refuge with Gan Ning when Gan Ning wiped out a medium-sized pirate force. His name was Sakara Sethi.
Because the surname of Kushan cannot be changed randomly, and each noble's surname has its own meaning, so this guy in Sakala is really surnamed Sisi, which means that this guy is a big noble. As for how the big noble became a pirate
, the other party didn’t say anything, and Gan Ning didn’t ask.
In short, what this guy said is generally very reasonable. God knows how this guy ended up in this place. He might be an undercover agent, but it doesn't matter. Gan Ning doesn't mind having an undercover agent among his men at all.
"In other words, the only thing Qiuri can use is the Qianfan Navy? In your opinion, his own ability is not as good as Galawa?" Gan Ning said with a raised eyebrow.
"As much as I want to say this, Chuli is not that bad." Sakala said with a hint of displeasure, "But boss, why did you, a nobleman, become a pirate?"
Many of Gan Ning's performances prove that Gan Ning was indeed born into a noble family. His language and behavior can be changed, but many details cannot be changed.
A nobleman who has inner Qi separated from the body and has the talent of legion is clearly a high-level nobleman in Kushan. However, for such a nobleman to work as a pirate in the Indian Ocean instead of going elsewhere, Sakala is very unhappy.
I understand.
In Sakala's view, with Gan Ning's status and ability, even if he killed a Brahmin, he would just bow his head and submit, and he would not have become a pirate now.
"Aren't you also a member of the Sisi family? Aren't you also a pirate?" Gan Ning curled his lips and said.
"I'm not from the Sisi family!" Sakala said with cold eyes.
"But you still have Sisi's surname!" Gan Ning said casually while eating grilled fish. Sakala was very concerned about his surname.
"This surname will only belong to me one day!" Sakala said coldly.
"Well, yes, you are a person. I will give you a task to eliminate all the unqualified pirates under my command." Gan Ning patted Sakala on the shoulder and said.
Watching Sakala leave, Gan Ning rubbed his hands. Now he has more than 70 large and small ships, and he is considered a tyrant in the Indian Ocean. However, this is not enough. After integrating pirates of all sizes in the entire Indian Ocean, the ships he has should be
It can exceed 600 ships, and its military strength can exceed 80,000!
Of course, this level is far from compared with Qiuri Que's thousands-sailed army, but Gan Ning has already obtained the navigation chart. If he doesn't go to Malacca then, he will waste an extra month by going around. He will go through the Java Sea and go around from the west of Australia, saying
It may be unexpected.
Gan Ning just wanted to fight until the whole army was wiped out and only a few thousand people were left. After all, these people were pirates, and they were not his own people. No matter how many people died, he didn't care, not to mention that he didn't
Mind fighting the largest naval battle in Malacca since ancient times!
