"Ah!"

Gan Ning sneezed on the sea, then pinched his nose without paying attention, looking at the land in front of him with a face of surprise.

Because people were drifting on the sea, the news of the Han Dynasty did not reach Gan Ning at all.

Gan Ning didn't know anything about the military soul, and of course he had no interest in taking care of it now.

After drifting for so long, he finally saw land. Even he couldn't stand the unchanging ocean.

"Report, Governor, there is a water village ahead, and there seems to be pirates in it!" The lookout sent a piece of news that surprised Gan Ning.

"Pirates? How can there be pirates within my jurisdiction!"

Gan Ning was furious. He had personally flown all over the surrounding area, and he had almost taken care of not only the pirates, but also the sea beasts.

"Governor, we may have already reached this place!" The deputy took out the map with a headache. The reason why they were drifting at sea was because they encountered a massive tsunami.

Although they had no losses due to the fleet and secret techniques, they had lost their way. Gan Ning was a loser, so they simply went down the ocean current, and now they don't know where they are.

But judging from their positioning secrets, they should be in the southwest of Qingzhou?

"If you see it, you can't ignore it. Give me the order to prepare to attack the water village. Remember to capture two people alive. I want to ask for information."

Gan Ning flew up and looked at the shadowy water bandits in the water village in the distance, and gave an order directly to the navy soldier who stretched out his hand.

After so many years, I didn't expect that he would return to his old career. He had done a lot of gangsterism and so on back then, and now he was willing to go through it again.

Gan Ning's approach was very clean and neat. It was impossible for a small water village pirate to stop the fleet led by Gan Ning.

After the wave swept away the water stronghold and stopped temporarily, Gan Ning also learned their current location from the pirates.

"Did you actually float so far?"

Gan Ning touched his chin and drew on the map with his hand. To be honest, he really didn't know how they traveled so far.

"Xingba! We are in trouble!" Pang Tong hurried in. Gan Ning didn't even discuss it with him and directly destroyed the water village.

However, after Pang Tong carefully investigated and inquired, he found that they were actually above the Indian Ocean, which was near Kushan territory in the usual sense.

"What are you afraid of? Didn't the Southern Continent win the battle? Maybe Guishang will take the initiative to cause trouble for us!" Gan Ning said nonchalantly.

Pang Tong had a headache. He knew that Gan Ning already understood, but with such a conceited face, it was really difficult for people to understand whether this guy really didn't understand or was pretending not to understand.

"We must not start a war at this time, do you understand!" Pang Tong warned Gan Ning in a very solemn tone, and he must not ruin the overall development trend just because of Gan Ning's whim.

"Got it! Got it! I'm only looking for trouble with the pirates, so that's alright!" Gan Ning couldn't help but look serious when he heard Pang Tong being so solemn.

Pang Tong glanced at Gan Ning suspiciously, but he didn't say anything. Just like when the Eastern Han Dynasty was in power, Kushan bandits and water bandits were everywhere.

These bandits and water bandits may not necessarily be forced by life, and some may even be black hands trained by the forces of various kingdoms, but these things are meaningless to the empire.

It is impossible for Kuishang to use this reason to cause trouble for them. If it really came to their door because of this, Pang Tong would not be able to tolerate the other party. What they represent is Xinghan's face.

If the attack on Kushan's navy triggers a war, that's all. We clean up the pirates for you. If you don't thank us and still want to attack us, then attack us. Who is afraid of whom?

After fooling Pang Tong away, Gan Ning looked at the chart he obtained from the water village, which showed the division of pirate forces in part of the Indian Ocean.

For Gan Ning, this is a good opportunity. The navy has always been short of manpower, but the area around Xinghan has been cleared out long ago. He has no place to arrest people. The domestic response to the navy is also mediocre, so it is difficult for him to recruit To the navy soldiers.

For Gan Ning, only with enough manpower could he conduct as many experiments on tactics, training, and secret techniques as possible.

And unlike the navy soldiers recruited from the Central Plains, these pirates didn't feel bad even if they were used to death. So when he learned that pirates were rampant in this place, he focused on pirates in the Indian Ocean.

These pirates range in size from one or two medium-sized ships to the larger ones, which are no less than the size of a regular army. What Gan Ning wants to do now is to wipe out the pirates in the entire Indian Ocean and return the Indian Ocean to a clean sea.

Although it sounds righteous and awe-inspiring, in fact Gan Ning wants to continue training the navy in actual combat and get a batch of cannon fodder that he doesn't feel sorry for.

However, Gan Ning was a little confused. He heard that Kushan's navy was also the dominant force in the ocean. How could he allow these pirates to run wild in the Indian Ocean?

In fact, Kushan was also very helpless. The country was divided and there were many internal conflicts. Even if Vesutiva I temporarily suppressed the conflicts, he also used the pressure of Xinghan to transfer the conflicts.

However, the contradiction still existed. On their way south, Brahe and the others killed countless tribes from the kingdom. The nobles who escaped from these kingdom tribes either became bandits or pirates.

It is indeed trouble for Kushan, but it is just trouble.

It is better to block than to open up. Vesudeva I tried his best to attack the bandit forces in the country and forced all the exile forces to the ocean as much as possible to defeat other kingdom forces.

Vesudeva I completely treated the Indian Ocean as a garbage dump, throwing all kinds of garbage into it, causing many nobles in Kushan to do business by boat and die again and again.

However, most of the people who died were from Nangui's side, and the interests of the Brahmins were harmed.

In the eyes of Vesudeva I, these pirates were actually knives used to bleed Brahmins. When the pirates became so rampant that they shook the Brahmin rule, they would dispatch the navy to catch all these pirates.

Not only can these benefits taken from the Brahmins be taken for oneself, but the power of the Brahmins can be further weakened.

In short, the situation in Kushan is quite bad now, but no matter how bad it is, it is still a scabies disease for the empire, and it is not a big deal at all.

In the eyes of Vesuthiva I, these pirates were like knives, and they could be wiped out at any time.

Even the growth of these pirates was deliberately done by Vesutiva I. After all, the pirates plundered not only Kushan, but also many small forces in the kingdom.

These things will flow to the treasury of Vesutiva I through the black market established by the Kushan Navy, allowing him to better consolidate his dominance.

Vesudeva I raised these pirates and made them fat enough that no one except the Kushan navy could deal with them. Then he used pirates to weaken the surrounding areas, and finally dealt with the pirates.

After coming and going, not only was the reputation gained, but also the face was gained. For Vesudev I, this was considered the best plan. Of course, this is also due to the fact that it is loyal to the Sisi family who is in charge of the Kushan Navy. If he cannot control the Kushan Navy, such a plan will also be a time bomb for him.

While Pang Tong was busy collecting intelligence and trying to infiltrate Kushan, Gan Ning had already begun a killing spree in the Indian Ocean.

"Come on!" Gan Ning waved his hand, and a large group of pirates, led by a few navy soldiers, rushed towards the enemy like wolves and tigers.

With the fierce fighting of this group of pirates, Gan Ning easily captured the first small and medium-sized pirate gathering place.

Gan Ning touched his chin, not quite understanding why these pirates were so crazy.

After Gan Ning learned about it, he realized that most of these pirates were low castes defined by the caste system.

Where there is oppression, there will be resistance. These low castes have no ability to resist the Kushans, nor can they overthrow the Kushans, let alone reverse the caste system, so they have chosen to flee.

Escape is shameful, but useful.

After they became pirates, they at least gained a little freedom. In the world of pirates, there is no caste system. Whoever has the bigger fist is the boss.

So for them, it doesn't matter who the boss is. As long as they are given food and weapons, they will naturally fight for each other.

And although Gan Ning and the others pretended to be very good, they had absolutely no regard for lower castes or anything like that, and gave these numb and confused people what they needed most, respect.

Even if they are cannon fodder, for Gan Ning, they are his own cannon fodder, and they can be sacrificed strategically and tactically. However, Gan Ning is not willing to treat them differently or deliberately humiliate these lower castes.

As long as he fights the enemy bravely, he is even willing to be directly absorbed into the regular army.

Sometimes, what low castes need is exactly this trivial respect.

And they saw hope in Gan Ning, the hope of getting rid of the existing class.

The caste system is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Even those low castes who have cultivated their inner energy to leave the body are still discriminated against after being given the status of Kshatriya.

For lower castes, Kushan is a huge hell. They can only sink continuously in hell, looking forward to the reality of reincarnation. According to the teachings of Brahmin, they devote themselves crazily in the hope that they can be reincarnated as a Brahmin or a Brahmin. Kshatriya.

In short, under Gan Ning's command, this group of pirates almost broke out with a morale that was even more fierce and fearless than the regular army.

When Gan Ning saw this group of people attacking the enemy crazily and not fearing death, Gan Ning suddenly felt that the system currently used by Guishan was very good. A glimmer of recognition from the upper level to the lower level would directly make the lower level fight regardless of their own safety. fighting!

It's sad for the Kushans, but for immigrants like them, this system is simply a paradise for them to recruit soldiers on the spot.

Although the formation and cooperation were poor, the morale was really terrible. Naturally, with the efforts of this group of people, Gan Ning easily took over the first pirate's nest.

On the vast Indian Ocean, the boss of a medium-sized pirate gathering point was killed and the flag was changed. This did not attract any attention. This kind of thing happened from time to time, and no one paid attention at all.

Even the pirate bosses who made the rules did not make any trouble. Pirates are pirates, and the law of the jungle is inevitable.

However, Gan Ning would not be satisfied with a medium-sized pirate gathering point. Gan Ning led his navy and pirates to frantically attack all nearby pirate groups.

These pirate bosses who set the rules finally began to be unable to sit still. They had no control over expansion, but Gan Ning's behavior had already begun to challenge their majesty.

A pirate who has lost his majesty cannot live long on this ocean.

The pirate boss who was nearby immediately sent his envoy to warn Gan Ning.

Gan Ning chopped up the envoy who spoke arrogantly and fed it to the fish.

What a joke, he, the dignified Governor of the Four Seas of the Xinghan Empire, wants to listen to what you trash say. He doesn't care what the pirate bosses think, and continues to mess with the pirates around him and expand his sphere of influence.

"The two armies are fighting. If you don't kill the envoy, boss, shouldn't we do something?"

Pang Tong asked as he watched Gan Ning throw an envoy from a pirate boss who was said to be in charge of a certain region of the Indian Ocean into the sea and feed it to the sharks.

"Are they worthy of being our opponents?" Gan Ning looked at Pang Tong sideways.

"That's true!" Pang Tong was equally casual. Gan Ning said what he was thinking, a group of pirates were not worthy of talking to them.

"What do you want to say?" Gan Ning looked at Pang Tong with a strange expression. At first, Pang Tong seemed to be opposed to him taking down the pirates, but why is he taking this attitude now?

"Those so-called big pirates will probably come together. How do you plan to deal with them?" Pang Tong calmly welcomed Gan Ning's inspection and asked casually.

"Why don't we just take the Sihai Ship and crush them head-on!" Gan Ning waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

It's not that he looks down on these pirates. Although these pirates can even get the Kushan Navy's warships from nowhere, they are younger than the Sihai Ship. Gan Ning can't even think of how to lose.

Just go up to A with your eyes closed and win casually.

"What if you are not allowed to use the fleet we brought back from Xinghan?" Pang Tong asked with a hint of curvature at the corner of his mouth.

"What are you going to do?" Gan Ning was a little crazy. He hated Riddlers. These smart people often turned into Riddlers suddenly, causing people to worry about gains and losses.

"If you can take down the big pirates on the opposite side without using a fleet, maybe we can compete with the Kushan Navy!" Pang Tong looked at the frantic Gan Ning and smiled, and then directly stated his plan.

"Didn't you mean..." Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, then reflected.

"You smart people are all really bad-tempered!" Gan Ning gave a thumbs up.

"This is just a simple contact. After all, our future opponents will be them. It is also a good choice to get a feel for it in advance!"

The old god Pang Tong is here. He was actually opposed to causing friction at first, but as he got to know the inside of Kushan.

He felt that causing friction was not necessarily a bad thing. Some aristocratic families that had slipped out of the Central Plains needed them to create a little chaos and infiltrate into Kushan. (End of chapter)
