Chapter 43 Four words: My life is mine
This trip can be said to have gained a lot. Not only did it achieve the purpose of conquering the Ba brothers before, but it also seized such a large ship, dozens of prisoners, and a large pile of weapons and supplies.
The salt and food presented by the Ba brothers surprised Tang Han even more.
So he was excited all the way, standing on the deck watching the scenery of the rapid sweeping between the two sides. His surface was quiet, but his heart was filled with thoughts.
When I came, I spent two or three days in the jungle, but when I went back, I took a boat down the river at a very fast speed.
These captured sailors were also very cooperative, and their boating skills were indeed good. They skillfully avoided several reefs and dangerous shoals that suddenly emerged in the middle of the river, which made Tang Han even more satisfied.
These people are all talents and must be treated well in the future.
For him at the beginning of his business, no useful person can give up easily.
As for whether these people have family and wives waiting at home, Tang Han doesn't think about it, or is unwilling to think about it.
Everyone has their own destiny. Since fate has thrown you here, you must accept your destiny.
Thinking of this, he remembered his destiny again.
If he hadn't encountered such an inexplicable thing, he would have been struggling in the new army at this moment, working hard with his comrades to train his skills and tactics, and still always ready to fight for the country.
Maybe one day the war will really break out, and he will truly realize his desire to fight for the country, and may even sacrifice his life to become a martyr.
Maybe he will continue to be peaceful until he takes off his military uniform and still has no chance to go to the battlefield. Then he will find a new job like countless veterans, then get married and have children, and live the life of an ordinary person.
However, I didn’t expect that fate gave me a third path, a path that no one had ever walked.
But this road looks very bumpy at the moment, and I haven't even seen a glimmer of light.
To put it bluntly, his power is as weak as a toddler in front of this world.
So, he suddenly wondered, was this a gift from fate or a prank?
After thinking about it, there were only four words left: My destiny is up to me.
Fighting for the country? At present, it seems that we need to fight for ourselves first. If we can’t even survive, how can we protect more people and live more like humans?
All kinds of difficulties in civil affairs, military, diplomacy, intelligence, production, etc. suddenly surged into his mind. Countless thoughts rolled in his mind, and new thoughts kept arose, and they were quickly overturned.
After all, he was just a military academy graduate before and had never had any experience in governing the people. His only insight was just various fragmented theories from books or the Internet.
Moreover, the governance experience of modern society and state is obviously not applicable to this ancient society where agriculture is the main one.
So, this basically means that Tang Han has to explore, practice, and try and make mistakes bit by bit by bit.
Of course, this does not mean that he is just feeling the stones across the river. After all, the five thousand years of history have told him what the wise king should do and what the tyrant king should do.
As long as you determine the big framework, even if there is a problem, the direction you are heading is correct.
Moreover, the most important ability to be a wise monarch is to employ people, be able to know people and be good at responsibilities, and put the right people in the right position. In this way, even if you don’t understand governance, there will be people who understand help you govern the country.
Thinking of this, my originally a little upset and depressed mood became much more active in an instant.
However, now I think about the future of dominating the world. Isn’t it a bit too much? After all, I am still hiking in the mountains, forests and wastelands and being the leader of a savage!
Thinking of this, Tang Han laughed first.
The night gradually darkened, and the howlings of various beasts came from the jungle fields on both sides. Coupled with the shadows of the jungle under the moonlight, and the sound of water flowing under your feet, it added a little darkness to the night.
Many torches have been lit on the ship, and the road ahead and surrounding environment can be seen clearly. However, in order to prevent the reefs, Tang Han still ordered to slow down.
The footsteps sounded, and it was Wang Chao who came behind Tang Han and said, "Your Majesty, the night is cold, please go back to the cabin to rest."
"Did the sailors provide food?" Tang Han asked.
"As the emperor's orders, food has been sent, and no one dares to harass them." The Dynasty replied.
"Okay, our lives are in their hands, so we can't force others to get anxious. You go and let them take a shift. Forget it, I'll go. They can't understand what you say." Tang Han said, then turned around and headed towards the bottom cabin.
Follow the stairs to go down the bottom cabin. There were two militiamen standing guard at the door of the cabin and saw Tang Han standing at the right place to salute.
Tang Han nodded and told them to open the hatch door.
The bottom cabin is actually divided into two layers, the lower one is used for storage, and the upper one is where these sailors stay.
After Tang Han entered, the light in front of him was dim and he smelled a disgusting odor, and his brows frowned.
It turned out that these sailors were strictly ordered to stay in this bottom cabin. In addition to the small holes that are convenient for paddling, there were no windows in the cabin.
These sailors are all eating, drinking, defecating and sensation. The air circulation in the cabin is poor, so the taste is naturally not much better.
When the sailors saw Tang Han coming in, they all looked at him nervously.
Tang Han couldn't imagine that the environment here was so bad, so he held his breath and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic. I know that you are all poor people and are forced to do this business because of livelihood. As long as everyone listens to my arrangements, I promise not only will not hurt you, but will also provide your diet on time. If you have the opportunity in the future, I can also arrange for everyone to reunite with your family."
Seeing that everyone's words were attracted, the frightened expression on their faces faded a lot, and many people even showed excited and expectant expressions on their faces. Tang Han knew that his words had worked.
He continued with a smile: "I am not a savage or a robber, but a person who is forced by the current situation. To a certain extent, I am a person with miserable life like everyone else. Since I am both a person with miserable life, of course I will not make things difficult for everyone. But this period of time still needs to be used, so I cannot let you leave for the time being. But please rest assured that in the future, I will definitely reunite you with my family. For me, don't treat yourself as a prisoner, but as my hiring Tang Han to do things."
Perhaps Tang Han's attitude is very gentle and sincere, or he himself has a kind of sincerity, which makes people involuntarily trust his charm.
After hearing his words, the sailors' expressions on their faces became even more excited. One of them stood up and excitedly said, "General, please keep your word? You will never lie to us?"
Tang Han did not think it was offended at all and said with a smile: "Do you believe me?"
"I believe! I believe the general will keep his word!" the man said loudly.
"If you believe me, then I will not let you down. Let's do this, the smell here is really uncomfortable. You all take turns to come out and get some breath on the deck and eat something. We should arrive at our destination tomorrow morning." Tang Han continued to smile.
The sailors cheered suddenly, and the originally tense atmosphere in the cabin suddenly became much more relaxed.
It seems that the turbid air has become much fresher.
