Great Song Pirate

Chapter 325 Free Hunting (Ask for a monthly pass at the beginning of the month)

Xu Yi was lying in the cabin with his eyes closed and dozed off, but his mind was not calm all the time. He was sorting out what he had done during this period. With the growing power he possessed, his current ambition or ambition It's also getting bigger and bigger. From the first time he came into contact with Yu's family, he began to think about going north. At that time, because he was focusing on Liuqiu Island in the south, he didn't have time to think about it too much. So the matter was dragged down, and it was not until Lin Xiong told him about the chaotic situation in the sea outside Shandong that he began to seriously consider this issue.

Since I can send water cats and Fang Shuyuan to the coast of Japan and Koryo, why can't I also include the northern seas into the seas that his Fubo army can enter and exit at will?
As long as the Bohai Bay is controlled, it is tantamount to strangling the main route to the sea in the north, and at the same time, it will provide convenience for them to purchase a large number of northern goods in the future. Even once the Jin people invade the south, he can do something for the Han people. Let so many pirates go their own way here, why not take advantage of this chaotic world and integrate these forces for your own use?Regarding this issue, Xu Yi can be said to have made a decision after careful consideration. This is also an important reason why he led the team to the sea and north immediately after Yingchun gave birth to a child. Ben et al communicated and received their unanimous support.

The reason why he pays more and more attention to the situation in the north is very simple. If we want to say which dynasty is the most brilliant dynasty of Chinese civilization in history, Xu Yi thinks that it is neither the Han Dynasty nor the Tang Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty, although the emperor of the Song Dynasty There are very few emperors with martial arts in the world, but the Song Dynasty is undoubtedly the era with the most relaxed social system in all dynasties, and the Song Dynasty is also the most prosperous era in Chinese history, the era with the most developed science and technology and culture in Chinese history, and all these All because the Song Dynasty came to an abrupt end, and the great Chinese civilization also began to decline after the Song Dynasty.

The Chinese have created so many great things, but within a period of one or two hundred years, under the iron heels of the northern nomads and their butcher knives, how many advanced technologies created by the Chinese were lost and declined, and China began to fall As a big country with backward technology, even good swords and swords could not be made after the Ming Dynasty, and a small Japanese country, but one or two hundred years later, can wantonly burn, kill and loot along the coast of China. The swords and guns of Chinese soldiers Still can't bear the sharpness and tenacity of the Japanese sword.

The Chinese invented gunpowder, but after the Song Dynasty, they basically did nothing except for internal wars, so that after her students learned it, they became a tool used by Western powers to wantonly bully the Chinese and invented the cannon. The Chinese had to re-learn how to make guns from his students, and spent a lot of gold and silver to buy them. In the end, under their strong ships and guns, they ended up losing their power and humiliating the country.

China's navigation technology has been unrivaled in the world for a long time in the history of the world, and no one can surpass it. The Song Dynasty's sea ships in the Celestial Dynasty are the best in the world, and even influenced the Ming Dynasty of later generations. It reached a short-lived peak, and since then, China's sea-going ships have done nothing, and let the small countries in the West produce navigators one after another, discovering America and Australia, and amassed a lot of wealth in this way, and finally became After the Song Dynasty, no one in China paid attention to the ocean, so that large areas of the sea that Chinese descendants exchanged for their lives and blood became the fat that others swallowed at will. Jumping out to seize China's islands and carve up China's sea areas, as a descendant of the Yellow Emperor, no one would feel aggrieved thinking about these things. Xu Yi, who was born as a sailor, often walked on the sea, and felt deeply.

If the Great Song Dynasty had not perished, I really don’t know what the future generations would look like with the many enlightened systems of the Great Song Dynasty that promoted the development of China’s history. Let's see what surprises we can bring to the world.

In the past, Xu Yi could only look back and watch history helplessly, but now he suddenly returned to this historical node, and fortunately he did not starve to death in this era, and even accidentally became the boss of a huge sea force. It made him want to turn the direction of the wheel of history.

In fact, from the beginning of this era, Xu Yi intentionally or unintentionally avoided conflicts with the Song Dynasty and the imperial court. He was not really afraid of the imperial court's navy. Ability and technology level, as long as they are not arrogant enough to confront the imperial navy on the coast, with their ability, as long as they are careful, even if they give the imperial navy three heads, they may not be able to catch their hairs. The reason why he did this , or because he didn't want to stab the Song people with the same root and ancestor. This idea was not intentional at the beginning. The matter was caused by the subconscious, even out of a deep instinct. He even took advantage of the national pride of these people, so that they risked their lives and went to Japan and Goryeo to fight hard. .

Xu Yi lay on the bed tossing and turning, constantly recalling every decision he had made since arriving here, constantly analyzing his thoughts, trying to give himself a clear position for his future development, he even thought about rising up and overthrowing Zhao Instead, he personally took control of the development of China, but he immediately dismissed the idea. Now the rebellion is undoubtedly tantamount to helping the Jin people. Maybe he can't sit in the world, but instead, there is no Wanyan family that can completely annex the land of China. After doing his best and doing what the Mongols did in advance, then he, Xu Yi, will become a sinner who will be accused by all descendants of Yan and Huang and scolded by thousands of generations. Xu Yi lay on the bed and shook his head vigorously, throwing this damn idea into the In the sea, I turned over, and then thought of other things.

Since Jia Qian became attached to him, he has had secret talks with him many times about checking and balancing his subordinates. As a literati, the first thing Jia Qian considers for Xu Yi is how to control his subordinates and maintain their loyalty to the Fubo Army, because they Once they are released, how to control them is something he must consider.

For Jia Qian's kind reminder, Xu Yi expressed his gratitude, but he told Jia Qian that the reason why they can get to where they are today is not because of restricting the development of their subordinates, but because of their full trust Only in such a short period of time can they become a huge force across the sea. If they spend their energy on this kind of mutual suspicion and mutual restraint, then it is estimated that they are still guarding Dulong Island and have no money to grab it. It was a cargo ship, rich enough to eat and drink, so Jia Qian didn't have to mention this matter again, he just had his own sense of proportion.

But Xu Yi asked himself again at this moment, does he really trust these people under his hands so much?Not being in a high position, not knowing the distress of a high position, in fact, this kind of thing has troubled him for a long time. He has been consciously or unintentionally using some means to check and balance them. The rotation training system is an important means he has adopted. , Through the rotation training of the new recruits, let them only know their allegiance to themselves, not only know their leaders, and then through the rotation training, these believers will be disrupted and distributed to various places, so as to prevent them from forming cliques, and he also People are often transferred from various places, saying that they are supplementing other places, but in fact they still quietly disrupt the fixed establishment, so that most people will not stay under the leadership of a leader for a long time. This trick can be regarded as a draw from the bottom The method is unassuming but effective.

What's more, when all the people were released, they all left their families on Dulong Island, so even if they wanted to go out independently, they had to think about their families. To put it mildly, their families stayed on Dulong Island for the sake of Let them work outside with peace of mind, but to put it bluntly, they are still some hostages to check and balance them. In this regard, Xu Yi does not feel that he is despicable. He would do this to anyone.

Another important point is that he, Xu Yi, has always firmly controlled the craftsmen. He has never underestimated the role of these craftsmen. Although he released his subordinates, all their weapons are unified The headquarters of Dulong Island is in charge of deployment, especially the ballista, which they regard as invincible now, is firmly in the hands of Xu Yi. Without his instructions, no one can easily take a crossbow from Qin Huzi Cannons, or a couple of gunpowder from Yang Laoxi. If you seize this, it is equivalent to grasping the lifeline of all the squadrons. Facing Xu Yi's fleet again, do they still have the ability to resist.

That's why Xu Yi dared to say that employing people is not suspicious, and that this is something he has already laid out, but he has never mentioned it to anyone. Slowly, Xu Yi became confused and fell into a dreamland.

Because there are still a lot of things that Xu Yi needs to pay attention to, so Xu Yi only intends to stop for a while when going north this time, and then turn back to Dulong Island. Speed, it takes more than a month to go back and forth, Xu Yi always feels that time is tight, and he dare not waste any time.

Because Xu Yi was in a hurry, and they wanted to ostentatiously cross the city, the Fubo army fleet did not deliberately avoid people's eyes and ears, but traveled northward along the coastal waterway, letting the ships that encountered them on the road dodge in panic. Pulling the wind, after four days of sailing, the fleet finally reached the sea off Jiaozhou Bay, and the number of ships on the sea here began to increase.

Jiaozhou is the most important port north of the Yangtze River. It is also the only important city in the north where the Song Dynasty established a city shipping department. It is also close to Mizhou and is under the jurisdiction of Mizhou. The city shipping department in Banqiao Town, Mizhou is set up, making it the only open port in the north. , managing internal and external shipping and maritime trade of Chinese and foreign merchants, and extracting trade tariffs for entering and leaving the port. Therefore, this place is also a place where merchants from the north and the south gather. There is a constant flow of cargo ships on the sea, which is highly valued by the court.

It’s really because this is the place where the north-south cargo ships must pass, so it has always been a place where various pirates like to hang out. When the Fubo Army fleet approached Jiaozhou Bay, seeing so many passing ships, the captains of the ships all moved their index fingers. Wake up, put so many fat sheep without making a fortune, I am really sorry for their coming here, so the captains of all the ships spoke up one after another, imploring Xu Yi to order a vote, and Xu Yi also saw a lot from the binoculars. The ships of the Shaofan Kingdom smiled and agreed to their request.

Xu Yi ordered the ships to disperse and go on a safari. The time limit was two days, and then they immediately went north to meet in Chengshan. No one should be delayed, so the ships after the order immediately dropped the banner of the Fubo Army , the fleet dispersed in a panic, and each chose a direction to sail away.

"This group of guys really can't change their shit. They dare not see cargo ships appearing on the sea. Once they see so many cargo ships, they can't control themselves. If they don't make a fortune, they feel sorry for themselves. Look, my lord, that ship It’s Liu Jin’s boat ride, this kid was so excited that he couldn’t sleep when he heard that he was going back to their hometown these two days, he even raised our skeleton flag, haha!” Watching the disbandment of the fleet After free hunting, Miao Fang also followed Xu Yi to the top of the boat tower with great interest, watched the boats under him scatter, and said to Xu Yi with a smile.

Xu Yi took a look through his binoculars, and the guys under him really didn't forget their duty. Not long after they dispersed, they raised black skull flags one after another, and rushed towards the sea, laughing too. Get up: "Actually, we are both thieves and merchants. Basically, we still haven't broken away from our identity as pirates, but it's no wonder that they have held back for so long and are not in a hurry to do something. After all, most of our financial resources are still from the source. Here, if we only rely on the soap made from our pork belly to sell money, so many of us would have starved to death! But I also told you in advance that you can lead a team here to rob or do business. , Do remember our rules, you only need to be sympathetic to the ships of the Song people. If you encounter a cargo ship from the Jin and Liao people, or a cargo ship from Fanbang, I will allow you to make it bigger, but you must Be careful not to be like ordinary pirates, who don't know how to restrain themselves!"

Miao Fang immediately nodded in agreement, saying that he would never make a mistake, and then asked Xu Yi excitedly: "If we leave such a good boat and don't do anything, is it a bit of a waste? How about we also find Can this unlucky guy get a vote?"
