Living within the Tang Empire should be more comfortable and provide better conditions than going out to sea.
If you want to conquer the country by yourself, establish a tribe and become a king, this is not impossible, but such an idea is still too unreasonable for that individual.
If you are lucky and you accomplish something, that's great, but what if you fail to accomplish something and encounter a storm halfway through?
If this is acceptable, after all, there are so many merchants at sea. It is not surprising that young people watch merchants living like kings every day and want to imitate them. But going to sea to colonize foreign countries is not doing business.
So simple, for such a business.
Storms at sea are just the most basic test. After that, after landing on land, the real hardships have just begun - if it were really that simple, Rome and the Tang Empire would have conquered the world long ago.
.
Of course, according to the information obtained by His Majesty Hannibal, these young people seem to be secretly funded by the Tang Empire. If you look at it this way, everything makes sense. No wonder this extremely powerful monster would tolerate people from his own country.
Young people, go to the sea to become pirates and betrayers.
It turns out that it does have a purpose, but it also gives Marcus a concrete and realistic clear idea for his actions, because overseas, if you look at the word "overseas", you can feel it without thinking.
What a huge scope.
The Tang Empire wanted to fund and bribe these young people in order to screen out the powerful ones among them and complete the de facto border opening activities. Marcus had to admit that he really admired this idea, but compared to his own side,
In Rome, His Majesty the Emperor directly moved to conquer the country, which inevitably seemed a little worse.
However, this does not matter. What matters is that the overseas scope is huge. It is obviously not easy for the Tang Empire to fund these people. In other words, it can be speculated that the Tang Empire must not be able to fund everyone who can get help and truly
There must not be many people who have a firm foothold in this overseas activity.
As for the reason for such speculation, it is too simple, because if "funding" was so easy to do, the Tang Empire could just send its own troops to expand its territory, so why bother using such tricks!
This empire has extremely strong strength and is extremely cautious and pragmatic, just like an animal in the jungle.
Such a being would definitely not do unnecessary things. However, what worried Marcus even more was that the Tang Empire did not directly fund these overseas young people, but instead engaged in a "public offering" method.
This matter was truly troubled by Marcus on the spot, because when those old nobles from Salis said this matter, they said it directly instead of using half-baked European language.
And after these old nobles from Selis explained with great difficulty for a long time.
Marcus felt threatened, an extremely real threat.
Not only because I finally understood the meaning, but because even these well-educated old nobles from Selis spent a long time talking about it.
Doesn't this mean that this "public offering" is a completely new thing even in Thalys?
Although there is no evidence, according to intelligence, this thing was spread throughout the world as a decree of His Majesty the Emperor from Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Empire.
Looking at it this way, it seems to be a very ordinary thing, but judging from the content, Marcus felt that he had lost a certain amount of emotional control, and the goosebumps on his back kept appearing like mud puddles emerging in a rainy desert.
This is 100% caused by that monster named Li Sheng!
If it is the handiwork of this guy, then no matter how fancy or strange it looks - just like Li Sheng himself, no matter how complicated it is, it will feel meaningless.
I would never dare to say that this method of playing is really useless.
And considering that even if the transportation capacity is insufficient, as long as the Tang Empire spends money and exerts its efforts, it will definitely be able to help the group of pirate boys they have trained. Then it can be deduced that this "public offering" can definitely do the same.
The effect is 100% better.
What's even more terrifying is that there is a 100%, 99% possibility that once it is actually put into operation, it can really help all the young pirates who ran away from the Tang Empire.
That's right, everyone.
If it is a large-scale army, such as a navy with hundreds of giant warships that goes to sea and is divided into more than a hundred and scattered to fight on their own, then I will not worry about anything at all, because even if,
China’s Taoist military art has not yet spread to Europe at this time. Marcus also knows the simplest truth.
On the battlefield, dividing the troops is almost equivalent to committing suicide. But any military leader with a little brain will easily come up with various ways to defeat an opponent who divides his troops.
In other words, if the Tang Empire wanted to take over all the maritime military points at once with its huge but limited navy, then Marcus could only return to the country with tears in his eyes to report to His Majesty Hannibal, and by the way, give himself a
Applying for an opportunity to entertain the surrendered people of the Tang Empire, I became more intimate with the distant culture.
That is definitely asking for death. However, if it is this kind of pirate, things will be different.
The key point is that these young pirates of Salis origin are not deliberately arranged by the Tang Empire. They are pirates played by serious soldiers in the army. For example, they want to hide from the eyes and ears of Rome and quietly move to occupy overseas military affairs.
Point being, this is possible.
Rather, it is truly an invisible "desire to attack" that arises spontaneously among innocent people.
This invisible "desire to attack" was so powerful that even the great monarchs of the Tang Empire and those extraordinary capable sage ministers could not restrain it. They could only eliminate risks for their empire in this way.
If it were such a structure, then things would be extremely scary.
This is no longer a silly divided navy, but a net of death with countless strands that in the long term are likely to work together to cooperate with the Tang Empire and launch a terrifying offensive against Rome that either cannibalizes or swallows it up!
That's right, it's like a web woven by a spider, and it must be the most toxic poison, because if this strategy is really successful, then this group of super-capable desperadoes will pose a threat to Rome equivalent to the drama
Poison. However, if you can find a few of them and draw them together, it won't be a big deal.
