"Don't stare at me. I have indeed just heard of such a thing. As for how these academicians who are engaged in machinery and gears suddenly come up with such mysterious things, I don't even know. Who can know?"
King Luo Bin opened his mouth when he heard this and was speechless.
Well... even Qiao Guogong's insights are thought-provoking, so I'm afraid it's indeed mysterious.
Although there are no clues, it seems to be... nothing more, nothing special.
King Luo Bin pondered for a while, secretly thinking that he would send this magic weapon here in a decisive moment, and he would study it by then, but it would not be too late.
Thinking that he still had important things to do, King Luo Bin cupped his hands and said, "That's okay...Father, I'll take my leave first. I have to deal with the recent affairs in the South China Sea."
As soon as King Luo Bin said this, Chai Shao's eyes glowed faintly, and he raised his eyebrows, but he still waved his hand, "It's okay, just go and deal with it!"
Watching King Luo Bin leave, Chai Shao's brows gradually furrowed.
Compared with here, a Xianbei was recruited as a school captain, and new weapons were sent from Lingzhou - Chai Shao guessed this.
Compared with these, the recent chaos in the South China Sea is really worrying me.
To be precise, it is not the South China Sea of the Tang Dynasty or Yanshenzhou, but the South China Sea of the entire world - the large sea area surrounding the Tianzhu subcontinent has been in trouble recently.
At first, it was just some businessmen who left for Africa. Recently, they have organized funerals...
You must know that maritime merchants are also divided into three, six or nine grades, and those who can go as far as Africa and other places. Calculating the ranking of such merchants in Hangzhou, they must start at a middle level at least, and there are countless top merchants.
Such merchants are often half-merchants and half-bandits, and some are so highly armed that they are almost at the level of the Forbidden Army - even Chai Shao, who learned the information, felt outrageous as to how such a big guy could have been robbed by pirates in the first place. ?
After thinking about it...Chai Shao soon understood.
When the seaports along the coast of China were initially opened and the trade boom was in full swing, the pirate tide in the South China Sea became popular during that time... I am afraid that there were many maritime merchants among them who were secretly hiding their strength and not being discovered by others.
He only waited for the imperial court to clean up his weapons, while his own weapons and equipment remained silent forever.
This kind of hidden behavior...
From Chai Shao's point of view, there are advantages and disadvantages. First of all, hiding high-level weapons, such as armor, divine arm bows, etc., is against the law, and this is a shady behavior...
But thinking about it on the other hand, this group of maritime merchants did not use their weapons indiscriminately and waited for the imperial imperial army to take action.
only……
Thinking about it this way, it's still not normal. After all, how can any maritime merchant secretly arm himself? This smell of evil intentions is too strong...
Chai Shao naturally reported it to His Majesty, and His Majesty's attitude was to continue to monitor.
... Since no orders from His Majesty have arrived, Chai Shao naturally just listened to them.
But this is not the reason why Chai Shao has been troubled recently.
What really bothers Chai Shao is that such a group of wealthy businessmen who are far-sighted, well-armed, and even to the point of "plotting evil and intending to separate the country" have repeatedly caused trouble in Africa recently!
The looting was extremely brutal, and the Forbidden Army garrison in Africa...
Because the scope of Africa is also very large, once the imperial troops there come over, they are afraid that they will be attacked by the Roman legions in northern Africa within minutes - this is very bad.
Any soldier of the Imperial Guard who has any eyes at all knows that the garrison in Africa must not be moved lightly. If it is moved, the military town will be empty, and then His Majesty's grand plan will be in trouble.
then……
The Forbidden Forces could not go, and no other force intervened, so the series of tragic ship robberies ended up in the end.
After all, the Forbidden Army is an expensive thing, and every bit of strength is precious and can only serve the overall strategy of the Tang Dynasty first.
But as time goes on...
Strange and brutal tragedies like that kept happening, and finally the scope became larger and larger, and even unknowingly, it spread to the vicinity of the Tianzhu subcontinent!
Even the Tang Dynasty's forces, including those from the West Lake Industrial Zone and private forces, who carried out reclamation and opened up commercial ports and warehouses in the Tianzhu subcontinent, had their merchant ships sent out by robbers several times.
This time...
Chai Shao couldn't calm down, because although the Tianzhu subcontinent was far away, he had heard of that place... One was Xiao Yu's territory, in the south of the Tianzhu subcontinent. This guy was ranked among the fifth and seventh surnames in the past, and he was also the fifth.
One of the few people with the surname Qiwang who was prophetic, he broke away from the circle of the five surnamed Qiwang early. In the trend of the times, he is a representative who not only did not suffer because of the trend, but also made a lot of money...
No matter how annoying these people were in the past, objectively speaking, they are elites among mortals and are not easy to deal with.
The other one is even more exciting, Chai Shao knows better, because the city lord of "Mangbai City" in the north of the Tianzhu subcontinent - or the "manager" as the West Lake Industrial Zone calls it, is a Persian clan...
Of course, Chai Shao doesn't care whether Persia is a clan of some kind, but the Persia clan is a direct disciple of Li Sheng, and it is said that the relationship with Li Sheng is not simple...
The most important thing is that this little girl single-handedly took the No. 100 people and a few medium-sized ships to Tianzhu. As a result, she went head-to-head with the local emperor of Tianzhu and fought several victorious battles... Although in the end the other party was very enthusiastic.
When the entire nation's troops came to attack, it was he who led his army to make the final arrangements and protect the commercial port, but as for the little girl's own abilities...
Chai Shao also quite recognized it.
It can even be said that if the little girl is willing to work under his command, he will never be stingy and will definitely train her to the same standards as Ma Zhou and King Luo Bin.
But such a powerful little girl, and Xiao Yu, an old fox...these two tough guys overturned one after another, and things became much more complicated.
Chai Shao,
There was no possibility of sending out among them the Romans to do evil secretly.
And if that's the case... then the situation suddenly becomes tense.
As the saying goes, there are three pillars. If it were not for the existence of the Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms era, the forces of Soochow and Yuan Shao would be able to fight, but they would never be able to withstand Boss Cao's talent and strategy. The winner would definitely be determined... which means that if it is a map
When there are only two major forces in the world, the struggle will always be in a state of intense intensity.
Chai Shao has a clear understanding of this point.
And if you think about it this way... Chai Shao could only sigh. It seems that the "pseudo peace" between Rome and the Tang Dynasty in recent years is finally going to be exposed. The Romans really can't hold it back and want to compete with the Tang Dynasty... Of course
