"Crazy!"

"Crazy!"

Qi Hou looked at Guan Ning and Sun Pusheng, and his heart was shaken.

How could you have such a crazy idea?

More importantly, he found that both of them looked excited.

Sun Pusheng, General Jinghai whom he had always found to be easy to talk to and somewhat honest and honest, actually showed great excitement at this moment.

This made him very surprised. In his impression, Sun Pusheng was not such a person.

But he ignored that Sun Pusheng was able to get ahead in the Water Transport Gang, so how could he be a good man and a believer? You can understand this just by looking at Wang Lun.

But what interests Sun Pusheng more is sailing on sea voyages. The outside world is the most attractive to him!

This is really a great idea.

He is a businessman inside and a bandit outside.

The ancient version of the Age of Discovery is here!

Guan Ning was also satisfied with his sudden idea of ​​asking for a regular navy.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have a huge pirate fleet that could make money and fight wars?

This is the only way to solve the current dilemma.

Is it just because there is no economic foundation that development has stagnated?

He doesn't have such a long time to wait.

"Qi Hou!"

"I'm here."

Guan Ning said: "You are responsible for coordinating with the merchants for the goods needed for the fleet's departure. This is a multi-purpose thing."

"yes."

Qi Hou knew that this behavior was seriously inconsistent with what he had learned and practiced, but he accepted it.

That's right.

This is indeed a multi-purpose thing.

Although Daning does not sell many items for takeout, some of them can be sold through this channel, which can increase a lot of income.

You know, there is business tax now.

If the merchants can sell things, the working people of the city will have work and can make money, and the country can also collect taxes.

As a local chief official, he really couldn't think of any reason to refuse this kind of transaction?

Can't refuse!

Qi Hou thought to himself.

Then Guan Ning turned to Sun Pusheng.

"The country will give you its full support. After I return to Beijing, I will send the Metallurgical and Manufacturing Bureau of the Ministry of War to Huizhou to establish a branch to build weapons and equipment for you. I will also provide you with a very powerful weapon..."

"A very powerful weapon?"

Sun Pusheng became interested.

"You will know when the time comes, but you must first reserve a stable base on the ship to fix it, and I will give you the drawings."

Guan Ning said: "The rest of the way is up to you to go through on your own."

"Also... although you are free, you are not absolutely free. Don't be fooled by the colorful world outside. Then it will be meaningless."

Hear this.

Sun Pusheng and other generals knelt down.

"I swear to be loyal to Your Majesty to the death and never betray you!"

They all understood what Guan Ning meant when he said this, and they could also hear the warning.

When you go sailing and become a pirate, and see money again, you will become greedy and have bad thoughts, maybe you want to escape from his control.

Guan Ning wants to warn them in advance.

But Sun Pusheng also understands.

The fundamental reason why this thing can be accomplished is because of the support of the state. Without this, it would be nothing.

He has a clear understanding.

"This is not something that can be brought to light. You should pay attention to concealing your identity when you are outside."

Guan Ning said: "When you are far away from the port, you can change your flag. I have already thought of it for you. A flag with a skull embroidered on it, you will call it the Skeleton Fleet!"

"I will let the name Skeleton Fleet be famous all over the world!"

"It's not the world, it's the world!"

"world?"

"The world refers to all places, not only Wei and Liang, but also the countries on the other side of the vast sea."

"yes."

Sun Pusheng said solemnly: "I will make the name of the Skeleton Fleet famous all over the world."

"I'm waiting for that day."

Guan Ning said in a deep voice.

Once the general strategy is decided, the next step is simple.

Sun Pusheng went to explain things clearly to his subordinates and was also stepping up preparations.

The existing warships are already sufficient. If they can sail once, I believe they will improve, and then slowly accumulate and become more powerful.

This is the primitive accumulation of capital.

Sailors, crew, soldiers, etc. are all in place. When the navy was first built, it had a complete organization.

I am no stranger to trade and business.

Most of the members are from the Water Transport Gang, and they are all good talkers and calculating figures.

Of course, he will also be an executioner who dares to fight and fight.

Especially with the incentive of 50% profit, they are even more excited.

Sun Pusheng has already set a goal.

Now that the Wei State is strictly restricted on trade, I am afraid there are not many opportunities to rob merchant ships. What gains can be gained by robbing ordinary people?

If you want to rob, rob pirates. The fastest way is to take advantage of others.

Moreover, he also knew that there were people of other races living on many islands in Southeast Asia.

They would all be good loot targets.

At the same time, Zhou Mu Qihou was also contacting merchants to mobilize goods.

Yongzhou's silk and satin, Songzhen's ceramics, Huizhou's Guanyin Yun and other green tea are all very popular items outside the country. They can be sold at high prices and can be exchanged for Wei's cheap food.

Everything is proceeding step by step, the country's mobilization capabilities are concentrated, and preparations are made quickly.

In just over ten days, the fleet loaded with cargo was ready.

Of course, there is also the skull and crossbones flag, which was designed by Guan Ning himself and is liked by many people.

"Let's go."

Guan Ning looked at Sun Pusheng, Zheng Shi and other major generals in front of him and said, "I am waiting for your good news!"

"Set off!"

"set sail!"

The sails were raised, and the fleet left the port one after another and sailed into the distance.

The initial departure was not large, with only three medium-sized ships and five small ships.

Not all of the navy went out, and some stayed behind to deceive Wei's spies.

From now on, they were officially separated from the Daning Navy. They were no longer a navy, but a free trading caravan.

After all, this is not something that can be said openly, and it is not humane, but this method is the most effective for the country at this time.

No matter how much trade is done, there is not too much competition. If you have money and capital, you can develop.

National interests are above all else!

With regard to the situation on the mainland, the next war is not too far away, and he has already smelled something unusual.

The Wei State set up checkpoints and cut off the trade between the two countries, which was a strong signal. In current terms, it meant that the two countries had severed their diplomacy and started imposing sanctions.

The Wei State should have noticed Daning's threat to them and already had a sense of crisis.

Divide and combine.

Guan Ning guessed that it might really help Wei and Liang form an alliance to jointly deal with Daning.

It's not impossible for this to happen.

Guan Ning must prepare in advance.

The navy has another way out. All his affairs in the south have been completed, and it is time to go back.
Chapter completed!
