Chapter 779: Teacher of the people! (Please vote for me)
The sky is white with fish belly, and you can see far away from the sea.
Gai Dahai's eyesight was very good. He climbed up to the mast of the flagship and looked far away. The northern sky was blurry, and he didn't know how many warships were approaching. The ship was very fast. It was obviously a warship manufactured by the imperial court.
The sails were blowing and oarsmen were paddling, and in the blink of an eye the distance was getting closer.
Gai Dahai climbed down from the mast, his face gloomy.
He thought that Fang Jun would not regard him as the primary target of attack, but it backfired. Looking at the sailing direction of the opponent's ship, it was clear that it was heading straight for his small island, with great momentum.
"Is this little bastard out of his mind? He didn't catch so many big fish, but he just focused on me?"
The man who covered the sea with his golden sword sat in the cabin of the warship, cursing angrily.
The subordinates looked at each other in confusion, thinking that it would be useless no matter how much you scolded them. How could you scold them away? It would be wise to find a way to retreat from the enemy quickly!
Gai Dahai cursed for a while, and naturally knew that this was the most useless curse at this time. No matter how true the scolding was, Fang Jun's fleet would not detour to go elsewhere. He thought anxiously for a long time, weighing the pros and cons, knowing that he had
There is no way that a hundred people are no match for Fang Jun. The soldiers under that boy killed so many people in Niuzhuji that the whole mountain was dyed red. Who do you think I am?
I just regret that I didn't take precautions earlier and move the money on the island elsewhere. I'm afraid it's too late to transport it away now, and it will be all in vain for that bastard Fang Jun!
"Hurry up and gather people to take away all the valuable things on the island. Leave the worthless things to Fang Jun and let that bastard keep it for his father to buy a coffin!"
Gai Dahai screamed in distress, kicked and punched his minions away, and quickly went to collect the gold and silver treasures. As for the small mountain of food on the island, he definitely couldn't take it away, so he simply ordered people to burn it all.
Got it!
The bandits on the island have always been used to being the masters. They have always driven people away in boats, making people cry for fathers and mothers, wolves running like wolves, pigs running around, and mice running around. When did people chase them and beat them? When they heard the order to cover the sea, they immediately
A mess.
They were reluctant to throw away any of the gold, silver, treasures, pots and pans, and the women who had snatched them were even more reluctant to throw them away. They were pushing and shoving everything onto the ship. The entire dock was like a refugee fleeing a disaster, and it was in chaos.
Gai Dahai saw that this was okay? At this speed, before all his people had boarded the boat, the imperial navy came to kill him! He gritted his teeth and ordered the soldiers around him to carry knives. If he saw any unruly people,
Just chop them down, and kill the women they see carrying them!
For a moment, the crying on the pier was like a hell on earth, and the water was dyed red with blood.
However, after such a brutal killing by Gai Dahai, the remaining bandits also knew that it was important to escape, so they took the valuable items on the island and put them on the warship, while abandoning all the women. However, this group of extremely vicious gangsters were the most cruel, knowing that
After that, these women were able to escape from the clutches of the devil, so they simply killed them all without stopping!
For a time, there were endless screams and screams of despair from women everywhere...
Gai Dahai's eyes were about to burst. He slapped the bow of the boat fiercely and gritted his teeth and said: "I have been running this place for twenty years, but I was overthrown by Fang Jun. Fang Jun, this is a life-and-death feud!"
The minions on the ship also had fierce and angry expressions.
This place is their little kingdom. When they are in need of women, they go out to rob them. When they are short of food, they go out to rob them. When they are short of money, they go out and rob them... As long as they go out to rob, they can get whatever they want. It is like a paradise!
But once this shelter is gone, where will their home be in the vast sea?
There are more than a thousand islands in Hai Zhong Continent, but there are not many islands with fresh water that can live on. At this time, they have been occupied by various pirates. Which one can be given to them? If you want to survive in Hai Zhong Continent, you must fight with other pirates.
Seizing the island will be an endless battle to the death!
At this moment, all the pirates felt the same hatred towards the enemy and hated the imperial navy to the bone!
Gai Dahai took a deep breath: "Send the order, all the warships are to pull anchor and set sail. Let's go to the Seven-Star Island to take shelter from the limelight. Let's see if there is an opportunity to kill these imperial eagle dogs, and then decide whether to stay or not.
Late!"
The subordinates heard this and had no objections. They immediately raised the flag and waved the flag. After receiving the order, seventy or eighty warships unloaded their anchors and set sail, turning around and fleeing south.
*****
Fang Jun stood on the bow of the Five-Tooth Battleship, feeling somewhat regretful about taking such a ship to sea.
This kind of five-tooth warship was built for the hydrological conditions of inland rivers. It has a shallow draft and a high center of gravity. Fortunately, the ocean currents near Hai Zhongzhou are stable and there is no wind and waves today. Otherwise, tragedies such as boat capsizing and fatalities could happen at any time...
Think about it, if you capsize before you start, I'm afraid it will become a big joke in history.
A thick column of smoke rose into the sky from the island in the distance, and the smoke was billowing. Fang Jun sighed and said: "These thieves burned the grain. This sea-building man can be regarded as a man who knows the current affairs and can afford to put it down. He knows
Unable to defeat our navy, they decided to abandon the island and escape. It seems that this capture will not be ideal."
Kong Yingda who was on the side couldn't stand listening any more, and said, "This is wrong! Soldiers are a major matter of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. How can they be easily touched? Every soldier must be guarded."
It is used for the important task of protecting the country! The purpose of the navy this time to go to sea is to exterminate the pirates and clear the waterways, so that thousands of maritime merchants can pass smoothly and do business all over the world. How can we open our mouths and shut up about the seizures, profits, and profits?
How is your state of mind different from those of the pirates?"
A moral gentleman can't stand the philistine mentality of Fang Jun. Kong Yingda felt heartbroken when he thought that this kid would describe a battle to suppress bandits for the country and the people as a defeat of pirates and the seizure of supplies... Kong Yingda felt heartbroken.
Fang Jun was even more sad and angry than him...
Most of the great scholars of the Tang Dynasty were indeed perfect in character and morality. When their own cultivation reached a noble state, they would ask others to be as kind and generous as them.
But they don’t know that humans and animals are morally different. What’s the difference between being a fool?
The most important example is that after the conquest of Goguryeo, the garrison dispatched had to rely on the Tang Dynasty to be transported by sea, which consumed the city. Therefore, many great scholars in the court petitioned Emperor Gaozong to withdraw the garrison. The reason was that the state could not fully support the garrison.
It's useless. That place is too poor to eat. We can't take food from the mouths of the people of Goguryeo. God has the virtue of good life. We are a country of etiquette. The heaven is a country. As long as a new emperor is appointed as a minister,
Let's just give them a little reward every year.
At that time, Goguryeo will still be a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty in name, and we won’t have to station a large number of troops. Wouldn’t everyone be happy?
Therefore, after four emperors from the Sui and Tang dynasties, hundreds of thousands of athletes went to fight for their blood and buried their bones on the battlefield. They conquered this land in a foreign land, and finally gradually abandoned it until the "Anshi Rebellion" broke out, the "Andong Protectorate" was abandoned, and this land was
Discard completely...
In fact, Xue Rengui's army stationed in Pyongyang City at that time only had 20,000 elite troops. He could have allowed Goguryeo to replenish logistical supplies locally, but he had to pay attention to the "celestial kingdom" and the "state of etiquette"!
What happened to the Heavenly Kingdom? The Heavenly Kingdom helps you maintain the stability of the regime, but you have to work in vain and not eat?
What happened to the country of etiquette? The country of etiquette must pay attention to morality and righteousness towards a group of aliens with malicious intentions?
I just don’t know what it means!
Fang Jun felt that he could not get used to these rotten scholars, otherwise after the conquest of Goguryeo, these sanctimonious guys would jump out to cause trouble again, so he said sternly: "Zuo Zhuan says: Those who are not of my race will have different hearts."
.So today, the younger generation should also ask the Master: Although Goguryeo is a big country, it is not from my tribe. Are they willing to call me my family?"
Kong Yingda glared angrily: "I'm telling you about the suppression of pirates. Why does it involve Goguryeo?"
Fang Jun ignored him and asked himself: "I would like to ask again, junior, should these pirates be exterminated, and should Goguryeo be conquered?"
"The pirates should be suppressed in order to clear the sea area; the Goguryeo should be suppressed in order to pacify the border troubles! But the king's army has a reputation, and if the name is correct, the words should be followed. Why do you keep claiming to seize enemy assets? What's the point?"
"Since the pirates must be exterminated, why can't we use the pirates' baggage to support the navy? Goguryeo should be conquered, why can't we use the baggage of Goguryeo to feed the tigers of the Tang Dynasty? The people of the empire pay taxes, how hard it is to work hard
Easy, why can't we use the enemy to support us and the war to support the war? You said that we are the king's teacher, but what I want to say is that we are the people's teacher. It is the people of the Tang Dynasty who support this army. Why can't we rob the enemy?
To reduce the burden on the people of the Tang Dynasty?"
Kong Yingda was so angry that his beard stood straight up: "I'm arrogant and full of nonsense!"
I flicked my sleeves and entered the cabin...
Fang Jun sighed and scratched his head: "Old stubborn..."
