Chapter 517: Sudden Ocean Refugees(1/2)
"Young Master, Zhang Han and Mo Hu are preparing to assemble the army to quell the rebellious barbarians in Nanyue!"
Just as Zhao Kun and Wang Ya were studying how to eat shaved ice, Jiang Chao walked in.
"What kind of barbarians are you going to do? Haven't I planned to change the land and return it to the ground?"
Zhao Kun whisked the shaved ice and raised his hand to signal Jiang Chao to try it too.
Jiang Chao was not polite, so he took the shaved ice from Wang Ya, and while eating, he said: "According to the people of the reconnaissance team, it seems that Mo Hu mistakenly thought that the assassin who assassinated Zhang Han was from Nanyue, so he was preparing to unite and fight for tooth!"
"I believe this?"
Zhao Kun looked at Jiang Chao with some weirdness.
Jiang Chao shrugged, "No matter whether Zhang Han really believes it or not, it is true that the army is gathered to suppress the rebellion!"
"If Zhao Tuo is still alive, it is very likely that he will collude with Yin and Yang Palace. Think about the assassins who assassinated me last time. I'm afraid they plan to assassinate Zhang Han on the way to suppress the rebellion, so as to control Zhang Han's new army!"
Zhao Kun pondered: "Zhang Han's new army's new weapons are very attractive to them."
"Then what should we do now? Should we meet Zhang Han and organize them?"
"No, I'll inform me of Han Xin and transfer 100,000 new troops to Kuaiji County. Once the situation changes, I will directly pacify Nanyue!"
"Okay, I'll inform you now."
Jiang Chao nodded and replied, and was about to go out.
At this moment, Zhang Liang hurried in: "Young Master, there is news from Lu Sheng that the giant bandit Liu Cheng of the South China Sea has emerged near the South Coastline."
"Liu Cheng?"
Zhao Kun was stunned for a moment and then reacted.
Since the Qin Dynasty announced that the people had opened up the sea, in addition to the two of Lu Hou, many people in the Qin Dynasty have seized huge wealth from overseas.
Of course, not all seafarers who go out to sea are honest and honest people who are obedient and obedient.
Many people with "live-mindedness" quickly discovered that robbing others is much faster than going out to sea honestly and accumulating wealth.
At the beginning, there were only some people with bad intentions who gathered together into small groups and robbed the seamen on the sea.
Finally, these pirate groups gradually merged and annexed, forming several powerful pirate forces.
Liu Cheng, a giant gangster who mainly operates in Southeast Asia, is one of them.
Liu Chuang is an ordinary fisherman in Xiangjun. His family is poor, but he has seven brothers, all of whom are fierce.
These people rely on the Nanyang, which is rich in resources, to rob the road at the sea and gradually grow bigger.
At the beginning, they were just robbers and dared not kill anyone.
But as he grows stronger, his courage becomes more and more powerful.
When they met their savvy, they basically had no living habits.
After two years of robbing ships and cargo, Liu Cheng's pirate group grew bigger and bigger.
Today, they have a giant pirate group of nearly 100 large sailboats and more than 80,000 people.
These people do all kinds of evil at sea.
Not only did they plunder sea tourists, but they also rushed into the small countries in Southeast Asia and destroyed the countries at any time.
At this time, the Qin Navy was still a shipboat from the Qin State, equivalent to the first generation of navy, but these first generation of navy were still active on the sea to fight against pirates.
However, the giant thieves on the sea are usually old thieves, their whereabouts are vague and extremely cunning.
With Liu Cheng alone, the gang of pirates, the Qin Dynasty led the first navy to encircle and suppress them several times, and each time they returned in vain.
But for some reason, the other party dared to lead a large army to the vicinity of Nanhai County this time.
Is it because I am impatient to live?
After thinking about it, Zhao Kun said to Zhang Liang: "Let Wang Li take someone to see you!"
"good!"
Zhang Liang responded and followed Jiang Chao out of the room.
.........
Meanwhile, Nanyang.
On the vast sea, a broken ship that looked completely different from the Daqin standard ship came.
Unlike the wooden boards of Daqin, the whole ship is almost woven with tough wickers.
The captain is about six or seven feet long, with dozens of hardwood strips stacked on both sides, and horseshoe-shaped nails are nailed on it for fixing.
It can be seen that the ship has experienced countless storms on the sea.
The sturdy hull is now in rags.
In the cabin that can accommodate forty or fifty people, there were only a dozen people snuggling together and looked listless.
"Madam, if we can't see the food in another three days, we'll be done..."
A middle-aged man with a strong upper body said to the blonde woman in the crowd.
The woman was holding two children of eight or nine years old in her arms, one man and one woman, all with blonde hair.
"If that time really comes, please kill us first!" the woman said with a calm expression.
When the others heard this, they were shocked.
They thought about the worst situation, but they didn't expect it to happen, so they all lowered their heads.
This decision by the lady is the only way to preserve the last dignity of the noble Baka family.
Since the end of the First Punic War, the entire Carthage Kingdom has worked together and has lost its will to take revenge.
After Hamilka failed, his son Hannibal took over.
In order to cultivate enough forces to compete with Rome, Hannibal led his army to occupy the Yinberian Peninsula and established New Carthage there.
In order to unify the aristocratic forces in the country, Hannibal killed his brother who inherited the noble surname of Hamilka.
In order to eliminate the roots, he also sent his twin nephews and nieces who were only ten years old to attend the ritual.
Hamilka's subordinates fought hard to steal out the two children and Mrs. Hamilka under the divine elephant.
Because they blasphemed the holy statue of Baal, they were regarded as rebellious by the entire Carthage and no longer had a foothold in Europe.
I have been wandering on the sea for nearly half a year.
When he fled, more than forty large ships and the five thousand personal guards left by Hamilka were only a little power left in front of him.
Now, they have long since left the idea of returning to Carthage and avenge Hamilka.
The only thought is to live.
However, even with this wish, they dare not think about it now.
On the sea, we walked west along the coastline, but we never dared to go ashore.
Carthage under Hannibal's rule was far more powerful than before.
The power on land even extended to Central Asia.
These people are afraid that they will go ashore, so they will go but never return.
Two months ago, they finally bypassed the Indian Peninsula and entered the Nanyang border.
Here, they encountered an advanced light sailing boat several times.
The people on the sailboat were all black-haired and black-eyed.
It was not until then that they realized that they had finally arrived at the destination of this escape.
As early as Europe, they knew that at the far end of the East, there was a powerful country.
Among the minstrels from Central Asia, the country called Daqin is the richest place in the world.
That country is almost everywhere in gold.
The people there are extremely powerful and have even mastered the power that does not belong to the world.
Even teenagers can lift a thousand pounds of weight.
Ordinary people live more wealthier than European aristocrats.
In the eyes of the Carthaginians, this kind of rumor is naturally sneering.
Carthage and Rome, the most powerful country on the European continent, have fought for hundreds of years.
As one of the European two heroes, they never thought that there were countries in the world that were much stronger than themselves.
If there is, that country may really only exist in heaven.
However, after seeing the capsized boats galloping in this sea area as fast as the swimming fish, these people became suspicious of their previous perceptions.
The distance of sight at sea is far away, and every time they encounter those sailing boats, they avoid them far away.
After all, it is dressed in Europe, where slavery is deeply rooted in people's hearts.
