It's all abstract destiny, you're one emperor through the ages

Chapter 67 Bring the boat closer! (Please collect and follow up!!)
The pirates entrenched in the South China Sea are notorious. Whether they are aristocratic families or coastal fishermen, they will feel headaches when they see their boats.

Among them, Sun Zhien, the leader, is brave and resourceful, and he calls himself the King of Jinghai.

The second leader, Jiang Tai, is highly skilled in martial arts and calls himself King Ping Hai.

More than ten years ago, Sun Zhien's father was the prefect of Wujun. Later, Donghu people broke Wujun, and Sun Zhien fled to sea.

Today, although he has never fought Donghu at all, there are 2 people under his command and nearly a hundred ships of all sizes.

Sun Zhien put the golden bell in his hand, licked his tongue, and moistened his lips:
"How many boats?"

"22, two large merchant ships, fifteen medium-sized merchant ships, and the rest are small boats, not deep in draft."

Sun Zhien's eyes are bright, and his face is greedy:

"Whose ship? Whose flag is it flying?"

Although he had already calculated how much he could earn from this sum in his heart, he still had to ask clearly.

To become a great pirate occupying the South China Sea, he naturally has a bit of wisdom.

Loot, but not indiscriminately.

Like the Chen family that was robbed before, although the Yingchuan Chen family is well-known, it is not a family that relies on sea trade for a living. The family's industries are mostly inland, and they have little influence at sea.

The Donghu people will not send troops to suppress the bandits because of the loss of the Chen family.

But if it was the caravan of the Yang family in Wu County, even Sun Zhien would not be able to offend him.

The Yang family in Wujun relies on the sea, has private soldiers, and has a certain ability to suppress bandits, so he will just pretend not to see it.

"Under the banner of "Han", it seems...it seems to be a merchant ship of a big Han? It looks lifeless, like a stunned young man who just went to sea."

The pirate boy was a little unsure.

After all, it has been more than ten years, and no merchant ship of the Han Dynasty has been seen at sea.

Not even a caravan attached to the banner of the Han Dynasty was seen.

Ever since the entire navy was annihilated that year, the flag of the Great Han has not been as effective as the name of the aristocratic family of the coastal state and county on the sea.

"Big man's merchant ship?"

Sun Zhien frowned:

"This is really interesting. Quickly call the second child to discuss the matter."

Jiang Tai was different from the black and short Sun Zhien, he was tall and mighty, with a scar on his face, he looked like a macho.

The two met, before Sun Zhien could speak, Jiang Tai said:

"Brother, this fleet is a ship of the imperial court, and it is full of officers and soldiers."

Sun Zhien did not dare to jump to conclusions:
"How are you sure it's the official army?"

Jiang Tai said with a serious look:

"Those people on the merchant ship are inattentive and absent-minded. They are obviously not professional sailors."

"And kept looking around, very vigilant, that's officers and soldiers."

Sun Zhien was puzzled:
"The big man wants to fight Donghu, and he still has the strength to go to sea? Could it be that he went to Yizhou to ask for help?"

Jiang Tai nodded:

"It seems that the people on the boat are not very used to making a living at sea. They should be impromptu people. Most of them are going to Yizhou to ask for help. Brother, what should we do now?"

Sun Zhien lightly shook the chart in his hand, while Jiang Tai and his younger brothers waited quietly for the order.

He did not make a decision, but continued to ask:

"Is the ship of the Han army within our reach?"

Jiang Tai shook his head: "It seems that the route will not pass through the island if it is not within our approachable range. If you want to get close, you can only choose to be at sea."

Sun Zhien drew a circle with his fingertips on the chart:

"A total of 22 ships, two large ships, and the rest are small and medium-sized ships."

"Under the banner of a big Han, carrying the officers and soldiers, the draft is relatively shallow, obviously not for maritime trade, I am afraid there is no cargo on board, they are all Han troops."

"Excluding supplies, there are at least 5000 people. If there is a battle at sea, the deck of the ship is narrow, and we cannot take advantage of our numbers."

"Besides, the Han army has armor and sharp weapons. One-on-one, we have no advantage."

Encountering ordinary caravans, even aristocratic families, bloodthirsty and brave pirates have advantages.

But in the face of the official army, their advantages disappeared.

Jiang Tai was a little disappointed:

"Then let them pass?"

"But since it's not a merchant ship, I'm afraid it won't be able to squeeze out any oil and water. If we fight rashly, it will only increase casualties, and I'm afraid that the reputation of the eldest brother will not be good."

"Have a bad reputation?"

Sun Zhien squinted his eyes: "I don't care what I say in Donghai, but in this South China Sea, let alone the boat of the big man, I will grab the boat of Donghu!"

"Just because it's bad at sea doesn't mean we can't do something."

Jiang Tai asked eagerly: "Then what should we do?"

Sun Zhien suddenly raised his voice:
"It's very simple. Second, take fifty boats and surround them. Thirty boats will fight on board, and twenty boats will support them. Drive the Han army to our route. Don't show up."

"Leave the rest to me."

A thick-browed man in the crowd wondered:

"Why do we have to rob the ship of the Han army? Since there is no cargo, it is meaningless for us to rob it!"

"And it will only turn against the Han court. Although Donghu is eyeing him, the Han has now completely occupied Qiongzhou. As long as he can't advance northward to Gaozhou, the Han army will go by sea sooner or later."

"This is a death feud!"

Sun Zhien slashed the big knife to the ground fiercely, and let out a groan:
"You pirates are still afraid of officials, so why can't officials be robbed?"

"My father, who has been dead for more than ten years, is still the governor of Dahan County, so grab it!"

"Are the weapons and armor of the Han army a benefit?!"

"The general who tied up the big man asked the court for a ransom, is it money?!"

"Short-sighted, you stay on the island for me."

Thick eyebrows snorted, nodded and said, "Okay."

"That's right, we have to work together."

Seeing this, Sun Zhien smiled, with a sharp look in his eyes.

"Go, do this job well, and you will have no worries in your next life!"
-
The sun shines through the clouds on the sea.

Liu Ke stood on the bow of the boat, and the boat was shaking up and down, but he was as stable as Mount Tai, just like on land.

On the contrary, he enjoyed the shaking of the ship, and the sea breeze blowing in front of him, with a little fishy smell, made every cell of him jump.

"It's really lucky to go out to sea this time. There is a north wind, but I didn't see any storms and thunderstorms. I really have my destiny."

[One Piece]'s destiny allows Liu Ke to have a certain basic judgment on the situation at sea, and to take risk-avoiding measures according to different situations, so he has the courage to take soldiers who have not been trained by the navy directly to the sea.

"If you teach slowly, I'm afraid it will take a long time."

Liu Ke is quite satisfied with the learning progress of the soldiers, and now they are in good shape, and they are thrown directly into the sea, which squeezes their learning ability to the greatest extent.

Identifying direction, sailing a boat, and sailing all require experience, not just learning.

But if you don't go to sea, you can't accumulate experience. You can only make progress after you start to try everything.

He knew what kind of ships the pirates liked to rob, so he did the opposite and specially camouflaged the merchant ships.

In the eyes of the pirates, they are like running out of water and food, or the sailors are sick, lifeless, deviated from the course, and they are fat sheep to be slaughtered.

Although the progress of the voyage was a little slow, it did seduce many small groups of pirates. Every wave of pirates gave the Han army a lot of experience in water warfare.

Up to now, the boarding battle has been well fought, the level of maneuvering the boat has also improved a lot, and it has saved Xiao Yuanchang a lot of fresh water and food fodder.

"By the time they returned to Hong Kong, the ship was fully loaded, and the army went out to sea without doing anything in logistics. They also made a fortune to fill the treasury. Suan Yuan often neglected his duties, so deduct some of his salary."

During the turbulent waves, the boat shook sharply twice again. Dian Chu, who was protecting Liu Ke, staggered and almost fell into the sea.

Liu Ke's body was still as stable as ever, and he asked with a smile:
"A Dian, there is no need for me to send someone to fish you out of the sea this time, right?"

Dian Chu had a stern face. He thought it was nothing before going to sea, but he vomited as soon as he got on the boat.

That is to say, after killing quite a few pirates in the past two days, I somehow got used to it and took it easy to get back to normal.

In contrast, he has never understood why the emperor can walk on flat ground even though he has never been to sea.

Liu Ke looked at Dian Chu's expression, and felt quite proud. The 103's force also looked like this at sea. He felt that even if he didn't use the chessboard, he could fight Dian Chu for a few rounds.

"Your Majesty, it's windy and rough outside, let's go back to the cabin to rest."

Chen Fujia came out of the cabin, his face was white, his eyes were slack, his noble bearing had long since disappeared, and he was quite weak.

He really didn't understand why the emperor took him with him when he went to sea to suppress bandits, and he wasn't used to life at sea, so he couldn't do anything except to show the flag.

Could it be that the emperor really wanted him to witness the destruction of the pirates with his own eyes, so that the Chen family could vent their anger?
Anyway, Chen Fujia didn't feel a lot of anger, but felt a burst of malice.

However, many pirates have been slaughtered these days, and I don’t know why. The group of pirates looked at the big man’s merchant ship and swarmed up like flies seeing meat. Encountered so many pirates.

Liu Ke laughed loudly:

"Aiqing, General Dian is used to it a lot now. If he keeps avoiding it, he will never get over this hurdle."

"Where is this? You have never seen it when the sea is windy, so what is it?"

Chen Fujia nodded helplessly, slandering in his heart, could it be that you, the emperor who has never been out to sea, have seen it when the wind and waves are high?
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will just stay on the deck for a while, and get used to the waves of the sea."

While he was talking, a burst of drumbeats came from the merchant ship in front, which seemed very anxious.

Liu Ke's expression changed, and he met an enemy.

"A Dian, go beat the drums and prepare to meet the enemy."

Soon, there was continuous drumming on the sea, and the whole army was on alert.

Liu Ke made a decisive decision and asked Chen Fujia to play the banner:
"Order, all ships move closer to our flagship and keep in formation!"

After more than ten days of brushing experience, the Han army has been handy, and they are moving closer to the flagship, waiting for further instructions.

Liu Ke looked at the ships in the distance, and saw that there were about thirty ships, and the scale was not small.

He figured that after killing so many little pirates, it was time for the soldiers to confront them, so he ordered directly:
"Raise the full sail, and with the help of the wind, bring the boat close!"

　It is tentatively scheduled to be on the shelves on May [-]st. This week, next week, and next week will be very difficult. The book is rushed, but I still hope that everyone will follow up and don’t worry about it.
