Volume 1: Jiangzhou Chapter 129: The Rise of Pirates
"Everyone here, are you confused? Why did I suddenly announce your official positions?" Ling Xin'an said.
Everyone nodded.
"Because from now on, you will not be navy, but pirates." Ling Xin'an said.
As soon as he said this, Jiang Tao said: "Sir, do you want us to become pirates?"
"Not bad!" Ling Xin'an nodded.
Everyone was puzzled and waited quietly for Ling Xin'an to speak.
"Jiang Tao, Jiang Xiaoyu obey the order."
"Yes, sir!"
"You guys compete to see who is better, who wins, and who has the right to choose three groups as your team members." Ling Xin'an suddenly smiled slyly.
When everyone heard this, they immediately laughed: "Sir, there is no need to watch, Jiang Xiaoyu will lose."
"What, have you ever competed?" Ling Xin'an asked.
"No."
"Then compare!"
"yes!"
Jiang Tao and Jiang Xiaoyu took off their navy clothes, packed them neatly and put them aside. They stared at each other and rushed forward like wild beasts in the sea.
There are no fancy moves, just the impact of power and the sound of fists clashing.
The sound of the fists hitting the flesh made people's blood boil. Ling Xin'an wanted to test them. At first, he was still joking that Jiang Xiaoyu's strength was not as good as Jiang Tao's, but as the battle between the two became more intense, everyone's expressions became serious.
, as the name suggests, Jiang Xiaoyu Man is as light and flexible as a small fish in the sea. Under the attacks of Jiang Tao one after another, he cleverly dodges. The Jiang Tao is fierce and his breath is long. The two are evenly matched.
Everyone watched with great interest. No one could have imagined that Jiang Xiaoyu's strength was so powerful, and Jiang Tao's was even more ferocious.
"Okay, you can stop now!" Ling Xin'an shouted.
Hearing this, both of them stopped. They were both short of breath and a little confused. Both of them were sweating like rain.
"You two have your own merits, Jiang Tao, you choose first."
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, the two chose two groups, and the remaining group was divided equally between them.
"Okay, now you have chosen. Raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. I have given you two tasks."
"From now on, you will transform into pirates. Jiang Tao, Jiang Xiaoyu, and you will each lead two teams."
After that, Ling Xin'an took out the map he carried and spread it out: "There are no ships or sailors. We need you to recruit them. We will only provide you with some funds. There are two teams, one heading towards Jinzhou and one waiting for Fuzhou.
Go north to plunder the coastal areas occupied by the barren people such as Haizhou and Suzhou. Note that all caravans from the Great Zhou Dynasty are not allowed to plunder, but they cannot use the banner of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Sir, what kind of banner should we use?" someone said.
"My lord, what are you saying? Why are you interrupting me?" Everyone went up and started to take action.
Ling Xin'an smiled and said, "Whatever you want, like One Piece, Pirate King, etc. It's up to you."
Everyone roared with laughter.
"Getting back to the subject, sooner or later we will have to fight enemies like the Hu people and the Huang people. The Huang people did not have a fleet before, but after they invaded the Zhou Dynasty, they did not kill the Zhou people like the Hu people, but enslaved them.
So they should have the craft of shipbuilding now. The Hu people learned the Zhou culture first, and they have already had a fleet, so what you will face will be an unprecedented situation for you, and I can't give you any advice."

Everyone was in awe. Although they were used to playing around, there was still discipline in the army.
"You will go out this time for half a year. If you come back before the beginning of spring, whoever has outstanding military exploits will be the commander of the battleship behind you. As the first battleship in Jiangzhou, it will be a great honor. Everyone, I look forward to your performance.
.”
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this. They knew that the huge guy in the shipyard had to be arrested to help when he was resting. As for that battleship, everyone wanted to be their captain.
"In addition to the captured property, food, and goods, the loot this time also includes charting, finding new islands, and survivors after the mission is completed, especially the latter three. Your lives are far greater than those outside your body. Don't be reckless. You
Our mission is not to occupy and fight, remember?"
"Remember, sir!"
"Also, you should never forget that you are soldiers and navy, not real pirates, but real soldiers of our Zhou Dynasty. You will kill innocent people indiscriminately, except for enemies, rape/snatchers, and those who disobey orders, but
Directly follow military regulations on board the ship, and you will do your own thing on all other matters without reporting."
"Yes, sir!" everyone shouted excitedly.
"Okay, let's come to class." After that, Ling Xin'an began to explain at the riverside, while explaining and drawing on the beach.
Ling Xin'an relied on the knowledge of later generations about the nutritional needs of walking on the sea all year round, and told them how to deal with various situations that arise.
Sailor's disease, an occupational disease that tops the death list due to lack of vitamins, Ling Xin'an gave them emphatically. Although they were only sailing short distances now, and as pirates they could always land on islands or coastal cities, they must know this knowledge.
, no one has heard of sailor's disease, Ling Xin'an asked someone to write it down, and then there is the dietary arrangement, the proportion of eggs, meat and vegetables, no matter when, it must be matched.
As well as simple first aid knowledge and bandaging knowledge, no one has ever seen such a weird method, but the adults taught it and just wrote it down. It is precisely because of this that many people were saved during the subsequent voyage.
Ling Xin'an gave them all the knowledge he knew, because this time, it was a real test, life and death on them.
In the evening, Ling Xin'an had dinner with everyone in Jiangjia Village. During this period, she explained this again. Everyone in Jiangjia Village unanimously agreed. According to them, it is impossible for a child to swim on the shore all day long to go into the river.
Don’t forget, this is only the Yangtze River, not the sea. It takes about a few days to go down the river to reach the sea.
After dinner, Ling Xin'an said goodbye and left. Jiang Tao and Jiang Xiaoyu left the remaining matters to them. After leaving, Ling Xin'an didn't know how many people would come back, but the progress of the battleship was really too late, so he didn't have much time.
There is too much time, so I can only let them practice in the wild.
Ling Xin'an was already familiar with walking at night. Taking advantage of the night, she headed towards Jiangzhou City. The fragrance of early autumn was carried along the way. There were more and more ripe peanuts and rice fields on the roadside. The branches were bent, and the evening breeze blew by.
, which makes people feel comfortable. At some point, Ling Xin'an suddenly stopped, and there was a faint voice in his ears. The voice was in the north, and Ling Xin'an was approaching quietly.
"Sir, this is all I know!" A frightened and pleading voice sounded in the dark night.
In front of him, a man with his face covered said coldly: "Humph, you can't even get close to the Ling Mansion?"
"Sir, the younger one has relatives working in Ling Mansion, but they are out of
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Come on, don't mention anything in the house, I really can't find out, sir, please give me a few more days."
"Useless man, what's the point of keeping you?" After saying that, he stretched out his hand towards his Tianling Gai. In the dark night, a sword light stabbed towards the man's chest as fast as lightning. The man was frightened. This man could approach silently.
He himself was not weak in strength. The sword light was cold and he rushed over with a murderous intention.
The sound of fighting rang out in the dark night, and not long after, a figure appeared in the grass. The man looked up and saw the vague and familiar face in the night. People immediately knelt down and said, "I see you, Master Ling."
"
"Who are you?" Ling Xin'an said coldly.
"The younger one's name is Zhang Mingliang, and he lives in Xinmin Village."
"Are you a foreigner who moved here?"
"Yes, my lord!"
"Who is that person? Why do you want to investigate Ling Mansion?"
"Sir, spare your life. It's not the little one you want to investigate. It's the guy just now. I don't know who he is. The villain is greedy and often goes to the Qingliu River."
As Zhang Mingliang spoke eloquently, Ling Xin'an suddenly realized.
It turned out that Zhang Mingliang had a distant relative who worked as a servant in the Ling Mansion. He came to seek refuge after the flood this year. This relative was also kind-hearted, so he privately asked the government officials for help and arranged for them to settle down in Xinmin Village and move to Jiangzhou.
Household registration, but Zhang Mingliang was originally a lazy and lustful person. After his relatives gave him some money, he searched for flowers every day and fell in love with a daughter by the Qingliu River. He was seduced by her beauty. The woman heard that he had relatives.
Since he was in the Ling Mansion, he used various means to get him to find out about the Ling Mansion.
"How long have you been asking?"
"Back, sir, it's been more than three months. Please spare my life! Please spare my life!" Zhang Mingliang kowtowed desperately.
"I can spare your life, but you have to do things for me." Ling Xin'an said.
"My lord, whatever you tell me, I won't hesitate to go to bed or get into trouble."
"Who is that person from Ling Mansion?"
Zhang Mingliang was stunned, looked up at Ling Xin'an, and broke into a cold sweat.
"Yes, Zhang Guangliang."
"Very good, he will come to you and teach you exactly how to do it. If you do something wrong, I will come and take your life." After that, Ling Xin'an walked away.
Zhang Mingliang stood up and found that his whole body felt weak. Thinking of Master Ling's words, he felt uneasy again.
In the Ling Mansion, Zhang Guangliang knelt on the ground: "The villain is short-sighted, I'm sorry, but in the name of heaven, the villain has no intention of betraying the Ling Mansion."
Ling Xin'an looked at Zhang Guangliang and said in a low tone: "I need you to betray the Ling Mansion now!"
"Huh?" Zhang Guangliang raised his head and looked at Ling Xin'an with a shocked expression.
"Your distant relative, who is greedy for life and afraid of death, I want you to find out the person who is behind him, and you can give him wrong information appropriately. You can find a way to give him all the information yourself. Tomorrow
After that, you go find him. I don’t care how you do it. I just need the result. If you find the person behind it within half a month, I will let you stay here."
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Guangliang left.
"Master, do you think this is okay?" Ling Shuang asked from the side.
"Of course it's not good. Someone will monitor Guangliang to see if it is as he said. At the same time, we will start internal inspections and reduce unnecessary outings."
"Yes, sir!"
