"Pu Xingfeng is burning, killing and looting everywhere." Chen Daojian said: "Yan Qi and Li Dan have 50,000 or 60,000 people, which is known as, but it is estimated that the two of them have 30,000 people. If ordinary sailors and old and weak are removed, there are more than 20,000 soldiers who can fight. They have been relatively low-key recently, but where are they the main ones?"

"They recently moved from the sea outside Luzon to the South China Sea of ​​Great Wei. They were quite cruel. They occupied pirates and plundered the border areas of Luzon countries, burned, killed and looted all evilly. As long as the sea boats met them, all sailors would be killed. None of them would be spared, and most of them would be tortured." Zheng Shaolai's face was full of anger and panic. It can be seen that even if he was a sailor in the Great Wei, even if he could reach the level of the captain, he would still be full of fear when he mentioned these evil pirates.

Chen Daojian nodded silently and said to Zheng Shao: "After getting off the boat, I will go to inspect the business and visit the Daming here. Don't cause trouble when you go ashore. Inquire about the news about the major pirates in case of accidents."

Zheng Shaolai understood and nodded to Chen Daojian: "Just go, just go. We have hired the communication in advance and bought a business here. There are officials who are working on the business. We will moor the boats and will go ashore to inquire about the latest news with the sailors. Please reassure the Lord."

Chen Daojian nodded. At this time, the government soldiers walked out of the cabin one after another. Compared to Chen Daojian, who looked a little pale and a little embarrassed, these soldiers were already looking as usual. When they boarded the boat for training three months ago, these navy officers and soldiers were also in a mess, vomiting, and not sleeping or eating for several days and nights.

After several months of training, they can now eat on the shaking boat. Even if they vomit, as long as the hull is not shaking too hard, they can have another meal immediately.

Eating, drinking water, sleeping, and trying to preserve your physical strength is common knowledge among sailors. Now the navy officers and soldiers have implemented it well.

At most, Fu No. 1 brought training for naval officers and soldiers of the entire city. Now, because they were full of goods, the officers and soldiers accompanying him were one sergeants. The current military system is that each team is twelve people, each three teams is one sergeant, and every three sergeants is one sergeant.

The cabin was narrow this time, so there was only one whistle soldier, together with the whistle commander and the judges of the inner army, the clerk, the flag bearer and the drummer, a total of forty-one people came with the ship.

When at sea, there was a thunder guard of the mansion, which made the sailors feel quite safe. This was also the biggest reason why the sailors would rather be more crowded than go out to sea with the navy's mansion.

The cabin is not enough for everyone to sleep together. The sailors sleep in shifts. There is a team of sailors on the sea, a team of repairing supplies or eating, and a team of sleeping.

The warships may be responsible for fighting in the future, and the cabin space will be much larger, because they only carry supplies, food, clear water, crossbow arrows, weapons, and armor from the soldiers of the ship. Even if they have to carry a lot of weapons and food, the space of the warships is still very large. A large warship can carry half a battalion or even more. At this time, some large coastal oarship warships can accommodate thousands of people, or even two or three thousand people.

"The urging officer." Qian Shude, the whistleman, saluted Chen Daojian and said, "We are responsible for your safety when we get ashore. I will send a flag team to follow you."

"Will it be a little more ostentatious?" Chen Daojian said to Zheng Shaolai: "I can't make Daming here disgusted, right?"

"It's okay." Zheng Shaolai smiled and said, "The people here are quite complex. The Japanese Daming power is very weak. There are only a few hundred warriors who are guarding every day. With the power of Daming, they can only support so many. If a war really starts, they can mobilize thousands of farmers, called Zuqing, but without armor and poor weapons. Even our Dawei regiment training is far inferior. If the garrison power is insufficient, there is no way to maintain public order. There are more than a thousand merchants and guards coming in and out here every day. In order to protect themselves, the merchants must bring guards to the ashore."

"So that's it." Chen Daojian nodded slightly. These specific details can only be understood by following the fleet to Japan.

Under the traction of the boat, the hull of Fu-1 gradually entered the port. Shortly after the sails were put down, the hull gently collided and finally got on the side and succeeded.

Then Zheng Shao came to develop a reward for the small towing boat. The Japanese on the boat were dressed very strangely, with a short robe on the upper body, similar to the one on the Wei side, but only used white or blue cloth to cover the crotch of the pants, which looked quite barbaric.

The hairstyle is also a barbarian style. The head is shaved and there is only a bun on the middle head, which looks weird.

The man is also very short, his average height is similar to that of a woman on Fujian Road. Fujian Road is already relatively short in the Wei Dynasty. The man among the Japanese is really too short.

After receiving the copper coins, the Japanese leader on the boat bowed to thank him. He almost touched the side of the boat. After repeated thanks, the group of Japanese people left.

Zheng Shaolai said: "They like our copper coins. There is a lack of copper mines on the Japanese island and there is no minting coins, so our copper coins are circulated in their territory and are also the official currency. They themselves have no minting coins. On the Japanese island, copper coins from the Tang Dynasty were common, and they were still the same as new."

"It's really exotic." Chen Daojian replied with a smile, stepped on the springboard he had built, and walked steadily.

In front of him, half a team of soldiers and the other half followed him.

The flag captain walked in front with a flag gun decorated with a spear-like style.

Chen Daojian knew that the elite soldiers who were picked out to work as guards of Fu No. 1 should be the elite soldiers of the mansion. These navy soldiers were recruited last year. After three months of training for new recruits in Nan'an, and then three months of training at sea, they were then distributed to various places to garrison, and boarded the ship from time to time to take missions.

The main forces of the six battalions of the Navy were still stationed in Penghu and were ordered to set off at any time.

This time there is a guard who is not only responsible for protecting Chen Daojian, but also protecting the safety of Fu-1's ships and cargo.

If you encounter one or two pirate ships at sea, it is common to encounter one or two hundred pirates. Many cargo ships in Fujian and Zhejiang will encounter such a thing.

Compared with cargo ships departing from Guangzhou who have to pass through the Nansha and Xisha seas, they encounter pirates from Yan Qi and Li Dan's troops. They are more dangerous and have greater risks, so the returns are higher.

Zhejiang, northern ships, as well as Fujian ships, are mostly Western countries, and there are risks, but they are not as serious as Guangzhou goes to sea.

If Zheng Shaolai and others were telling the truth, I am afraid that the trade in Guangzhou will shrink even more. After all, no matter how easy it is to make money, it is not as important as life.

Confronting nature and unknown risks is the fate of the sailors of this era, and they are not afraid of it.

But if you have to face pirates every time you go to sea, you may escape. The more likely it is that cargo and ships are robbed and people are killed. Faced with such risks, there are much fewer people who dare to go to sea.

Chen Daojian felt a vague feeling in his heart that the three thieves such as Pu Xingfeng might not really want to plunder ships and cargo. They should also know that such killing and looting will only completely cut off the route and make them have no ships to plunder. Instead, their fundamental goal is to cut off the business path of Dawei's foreign trade, thereby completely cutting off the foreign trade system of Dawei.

From this point of view, Pu Xingfeng is by no means a simple bandit, and it is likely that behind him is a noble relative of the Tianfang Kingdom.

The political system of Tianfang is generally maintained by the caliphate system that integrates politics and religion, but Chen Daojian knew that not only the caliph’s position changed in multiple Tianfang families, but also changed races. So far, the caliph’s position has returned to the hands of the Abbasids. The Pu family is also a noble family surname among the Abbasids. In this way, the Pu Shougao family is not as simple as the surface, and it is likely that it was a arrangement by its family in the Great Wei.

However, the Great Wei has always been strong, and this family has never found an opportunity. They can only secretly accumulate strength and wait for the future.

Since the battle with the Black-clothed Food Festival in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Tang army did not immediately lose control of the Western Regions and Central Asia after the defeat. After Gao Xianzhi's defeat, Feng Changqing, the successor of the four towns of Anxi, continued to march towards Central Asia, defeating Tubo and Big and Bolu many times. At its peak, the Tang Dynasty's capital Chang'an set out and went to the western border of the Tang Dynasty to travel more than 12,000 miles. Many Central Asian countries practice literature and worship Buddha, and sent their children to take turns to Chang'an to serve, just like the foreign vassals of the Tang Dynasty.

What caused the Tang Dynasty to lose the Western Regions was the Anshi Rebellion. The Tang army continued to retreat. Then the Tubo forces and the Uighurs supported by the black-clad food were obtained in the wealthy land of the Western Regions and Longyou. The wars within the Tang Dynasty caused more damage to national strength than 100 Battles of Talas. Even Chang'an was destroyed several times. When the Tang Empire stumbled and recovered from the civil strife, it was discovered that not only had the Western Regions lost, but even the states of Gansu and Liang Xinglingxia were no longer owned by them.

That was the hometown of the Han family, including Wuyuan, Yunzhou, that is, Baotou and Tumochuan in later generations. These fertile lands in the Hetao area were once the hometown of the Han family, but later occupied by the Rouran and Turks, and were all taken back in the Tang Dynasty. After the middle Tang Dynasty, these places were gradually lost. They were once good places for the good children of the Han family to ride horses and practice riding and shooting, and gradually all became Hu.

After hundreds of years of changes since the Tang Dynasty, Tianfang still exists today and is still aggressive in planning an attack on the Great Wei.

This is a civilized dispute, a feud, and a dispute over five hundred years of entanglements, conspiracies, wars, civilizations, and religions. It can be said to be a comprehensive battle.

What is fortunate is the rise of the countries in Taixi, which are pressing step by step, making the sky extremely embarrassed.

Trade, goods, many battles...

Chen Daojian felt something. This was an era of rising and a time of earth-shaking.

He had a clear understanding of the words of Xu Zixian, the Marquis of Nan'an. The current era is the most critical period of change. The changes that arise will affect hundreds or even thousands of years. This is completely different from the period when everyone lived behind closed doors. Whoever can take the initiative can master the world within the next thousand years.

Even if the Great Wei cannot control the world, he should at least rise up, guard his continental territory, defeat the barbarians, stand in the sea, and seize the initiative.

If the barbarians succeed in this era, after the victory and defeat of Taixi and Tianfang decide, the future world will be one of them. No matter which one succeeds, it may be a disaster for the future China.

It is not necessarily a massacre to genocide, but civilization is controlled, controlled, suppressed until it is integrated, eliminated, and disappeared.

...

After entering Hong Kong, Japanese people bowed and greeted everywhere.

There are bald sailors and hardcore men in crotch pants, merchants in long robes, big merchants sitting in sedan chairs, and Japanese officials wearing officials. This is easy to distinguish.

However, the Japanese custom is obviously wearing long robes, with ink-dyed tiger mouths, but they also hang knives around their waists, and they are also radiant when walking. They are completely different from the weak bodies and spirits of the grammatical officials of the Wei Dynasty.

There are also many warriors, many of whom are wearing Japanese swords, with different lengths. Many warriors hold long swords that are longer than long swords, which are somewhat similar to the eyebrow tattooed sword of the Great Wei Dynasty, but are narrower and longer.

Long sword, long sword, tooth sword, wild tooth sword, and killing sword, all kinds of things, all kinds of.

Chen Daojian's general feeling was that the Japanese were important to martial arts. When they saw warriors coming, whether they were merchants, civilians, sailors, wise men, or those like officials, or monks, they all avoided the road and passed by the warriors with Japanese swords.

These little dwarfs are generally not as tall as the former minimum standard of the imperial guards of five feet two. Even when the Nan'an Prefecture Army recruits large-scale troops, heights of less than five feet two will basically not be recruited.

If you are too tall, your endurance may be poor, but your strength is generally not small and you will be quite brave.

The height of five feet and seven is more than 1.8 meters. This height standard is the standard for cavalry and crossbowmen. It is five feet and four feet and one 72 meters and more. This is the standard for ordinary government troops. To five feet and two feet, it is more than 1.65 meters. This is the lowest standard line. It is lower than this height. If an adult man is less than 1.65 meters, it can only mean that he is malnourished from childhood to adulthood. Such a body cannot carry iron armor, cannot persist in long-distance marches, and experiences arduous wars. In fact, short people may also produce brave men, but the proportion is much smaller than that of the larger people.

Japanese warriors are generally short, and it can be seen that these people are all lacking in nutrition during their growth.

Someone told Chen Daojian that many Japanese believe in Buddhism, not only the people who do not eat meat, but also many vegetarians, or only eat sea fish, meat, including pork and mutton, are not very popular in Japan.

Chen Daojian felt that this was a kind of brainwashing in public opinion, but in fact it was because of poverty.
