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

Chapter 71 Morality? (seek collection and follow-up)

"Boss, are we really going to vote for the Han?"

Sun Zhien gathered everyone to discuss the matter, and found out that there were really some pirates who thought they were going to surrender to the Han, so they had to be persuaded.

The thick-browed man who has been guarding the island also said:
"It's really a good idea to take refuge in the imperial court. The brothers are getting old, and you can't make a living as a pirate for a lifetime."

"Puliuru Department has been mobilizing ships recently, fearing that they want to block Qiongzhou from the sea. Our ships and our experience in water warfare are very important to the big man."

"Since the emperor of the Han Dynasty was able to drive Donghu out of Qiongzhou, he must be very capable."

"At this time, we are taking refuge in the imperial court, which is tantamount to sending charcoal in a timely manner. Even if we are born as thieves, in the eyes of the emperor, we will definitely reuse it."

"What's more, the father of the big boss is the prefect of Wu County, and his family has a long history. The son inherits his father's business and fights for the big man, and he is worthy of our Han identity."

Before Sun Zhi'en could persuade him, the thick-browed words moved him a little bit.

Yes, it seems that it is not necessary to kill this wave of officers and soldiers.

It is also a good choice to directly join the Han court.

With so many brothers under him, he must still be classified as a naval officer, with great power in his hands, no different from now, and he still has a serious status in the court.

Even if it takes a big man's pay, and then runs back to the sea to be the emperor, it's not bad!
At this moment, Jiang Tai spoke again:

"Brother, you know me well, I don't care, but my brothers, what should I do?"

Sun Zhien pinched his chin, feeling a little irritable, but after thinking about it, the second child was right.

He and Jiang Tai are very capable, and they voted for the Han court, so naturally they are not afraid of any settlement.

But the brothers under him are different.

They have been rampant in the South China Sea for more than ten years, which family has not been robbed?

In case of being troubled by those aristocratic families, even if the emperor valued them and kept them, he would not protect the one or two insignificant pawns below.

Thick eyebrows wanted to say something, but were interrupted by Sun Zhien shaking the golden bell.

Sun Zhien stood up suddenly, looked at everyone, and then said:

"Don't think about it anymore, I am a loyal person, how can I be happy at sea when I am a dog for the court?!"

"Wait for a few days, until the soldiers of the Han army completely relax their guard, and directly kill this big man's fleet, leaving no one behind, without anyone noticing, no one will know that we did it!"

"At that time, there will be armor and soldiers and horses. According to Yiluo Jidao, no matter whether he is a big man or Donghu, neither of them can do anything to us!"
-
Liu Ke has disembarked all the soldiers and set up camp by the sea.

Although everyone is used to the life on the boat, they feel more at ease when their feet are on the ground.

Liu Ke sent an order directly, and when resting on Luoji Island, the soldiers must have a full rest.

On weekdays, the training intensity is properly relaxed, you can go to the sea to play in the water, fish, pay attention to a degree of relaxation.

The soldiers were naturally overjoyed when they heard this, and even Dian Chu was like this. After fighting for days and robbing here and there, even if he was as nervous as him, he was a little tired.

Only Chen Fujia didn't understand, and persuaded one after another:
"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, if you are poor, you want to change, and if you are rich, you want to go far. If you indulge the soldiers like this, you are afraid that the soldiers will change their minds!"

Of course Liu Ke knew what Chen Fujia was referring to.

The way he trains the soldiers is very pirate.

Although it is said to fight against pirates, its behavior is no different from that of pirates, the same wildness, the same way of robbing anyone.

At sea, my nerves were tense, and I was always thinking about how to kill people and how to rob people, so I naturally didn't realize the problem.

But after going ashore, resting and relaxing, he will naturally realize the problem.

They are officers and soldiers, the regular army of the big man, how can they have no bottom line like pirates?

Those who destroy pirates end up becoming pirates themselves.

The army is thinking about it!
Liu Ke understood, but didn't care much, just said:
"Since I chose such a quick way to train soldiers, I have to bear the consequences."

Chen Fujia was worried:
"I also know that even if the morale of the army changes, at most it will be depressed for a while, with His Majesty's ability, he will never mutiny."

"However, Luoji Island, where our army is located, is the base of pirates. The pirates are extremely vicious. We must guard against them. If we attack at this time, our army may not be able to resist them!"

Liu Ke smiled and said:

"Could it be that those pirates who are sworn brothers and gentlemen's alliance dare to attack?"

Chen Fujia shook his head again and again:
"A pirate is a bandit. If you are in a good mood today, you will let the merchant ship pass if you pay the toll. If you are in a bad mood tomorrow, you will not be able to pay the toll. You have to rob the ship, kill the people, and take the goods."

"How can pirates be moral?"

Liu Ke asked back:
"Do I have to be moral?"

Chen Fujia was taken aback for a moment, the emperor didn't seem to have said anything moral.

As soon as he ascended the throne, he dared to cheat at the enthronement ceremony, and directly shot Yu Wenbai to death in the hall.

Then he went out of the city to feign surrender, and shot Qi Yanhou to death.

He even used Liuding Liujia and digging tunnels to swindle the famous general Zhang Huaiyang into a big defeat.

He also deceived the aristocratic families in the city to rebel and rebel, and wiped them out in one fell swoop, directly solving the shortage of food and fodder.

In the end, he defrauded the three counties for three days, and directly forced the Donghu Nanjun out of Qiongzhou County.

From start to finish, it's full of deceit.

It can be said to be very unethical.

There are two other things that he dare not mention, speak or think about.

That is the legendary murder of father and brother to seize the throne, and shooting Liu Bao, a serious Han family clan, in front of the three armies.

Even more immoral.

Even so, Chen Fujia still said:
"Since your majesty has long wanted to suppress the bandits, why do you want to become brothers with the bandits?"

"If you want to suppress the bandits directly, the soldiers will definitely go up without saying a word and raise their knives. This will make brothers and establish an alliance of gentlemen, but it will make the soldiers have scruples, and even feel that your majesty."

"What? Do you think I'm treacherous?"

Liu Ke looked at Chen Fujia meaningfully, and said slowly:
"Stimulate, push, push."

Chen Fujia felt something in his heart, and said:
"Your Majesty wants to."

"Ai Qing, step back, and go to rest like the soldiers. The soldiers of the three armies are the ones who are the most embarrassed on board."

When Chen Fujia stepped back, he really relaxed and went to play.

The soldiers on the beach also opened up to play.

A soldier touched his cheek and slapped himself:

"Is it real land?!"

The other soldiers looked at him like a fool, and they were extremely excited:

"Your Majesty is really kind to us, not to mention reducing the training, and allowing us to go to sea without permission."

"That's right, let's see who catches the most fish tonight!"

In this way, the soldiers all had fun, and the camp turned into a fishing arena.

One day, two days passed.

The soldiers relaxed a lot, and at the same time, as Chen Fujia expected, the army's mind changed.

They are officers and soldiers, and when they plunder at sea, they are like thieves. Even if the plunderers are pirates, they are somewhat inappropriate.

It has been hundreds of years since Dong Zhongshu put forward the five principles of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, and it has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

However, all the soldiers had a tacit understanding and didn't say it clearly. After all, looting was also an order from the emperor, so we can't blame the emperor.

It's just that the sequelae brought about by the looting at sea, like a dark cloud, has been floating in the hearts of the soldiers.

The third night.

Liu Ke didn't sleep.

He felt that the weather was dry tonight, and the soldiers felt slack again. With [Fire Burning Camp] in his body, the tents could easily catch fire.

Sure enough, soon there was a shrill voice that resounded through the camp:

"Ah...the water is gone! The water is gone!!!"

The eight hundred imperial guards and Dian Chu reacted most violently, and woke up immediately.

The scene of the tent burning in front of me was exactly the same as when the tunnel was stolen and set on fire that night!
"My fish!"

"My coral!"

"My pearl!"

There was wailing in the army, and the soldiers woke up one after another. Because they didn't realize the enemy, they were just crying in grief.

These fish, corals, pearls, etc., are what they earned from hard work these days, and some rewards they got when they plundered pirates at sea.

This fire is killing me!

The soldiers rushed out of the tent one by one, and went to the beach to fetch water to fight the fire.

A pawn slapped himself and sat helplessly on the ground.

The whole person lost his mind: "Is this true?"

The soldiers also wailed.

Why did the camp suddenly catch fire? ?
Just after waking up, Chen Fujia, who was in a daze, suddenly understood, and couldn't help shouting in his heart, it really is so!

"Our army has long been exhausted after fighting at sea for days. His Majesty ordered the soldiers to rest and play, and to reduce the intensity of training in order to recover their strength."

"The so-called sworn alliance, the alliance of gentlemen, is just to paralyze the pirates on the island."

"And the fire in this camp must have been set by His Majesty."

"Bringing the matter of arson to the pirates on the island does not need to take into account any morality, but it can also stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers."

"In this way, we will definitely be able to return with a big victory, and the casualties of the soldiers will be minimized!"

"Your Majesty is really clever!"

Chen Fujia did not consider that the soldiers would be suspicious.

After all, these days, the soldiers have begun to reflect on the plundering at sea, and naturally they don't like the pirates who plunder all day long.

It's really normal for pirates to do such treacherous things.

And with a normal mind, it would never have occurred to someone to set fire to their camp.

Chen Fujia immediately said sharply:

"These pirates are really hateful!"

"Since we have become an alliance of brothers, we took advantage of our army's negligence and took the opportunity to burn the camp!"

"The officer did not deploy defenses in advance, causing the soldiers to lose a lot. It is really careless!"

"Soldiers, the blood debt must be paid in blood. We must recover this loss from the pirates' lair!!"

Liu Ke looked at Chen Fujia in the tent of the Chinese army.

Chen Fujia did the right thing, he really wanted to use this fire to stir up the soldiers and encircle and suppress the pirates.

But it's not just that, there are more important things.

But at this time, Sun Zhi'en and Jiang Tai were counting the time, the soldiers of the Han Dynasty had already relaxed their defenses, and they happened to bring a group of brothers to prepare to attack the camp.

Looking at the fire in the camp in the distance halfway, I was even more happy, and I called God to help me, and urged my brothers to quicken their pace.
