If you are from other walks of life, joining the army is a way out.
But in Beiguan and Zhoushi, joining the army is basically a reflection of self-will and depravity. If there is no way to survive, the sons of the common people will not join the army normally.
Especially among the naval divisions of the Three East China Sea Routes, there has always been dissatisfaction with the lack of recruitment. In many cases, the recruitment of troops is forced to make Kun Fei Ying jump.
Outsiders think that the Marine Corps is really bad and that it is a collective mess, let alone within the Marine Corps.
As the commander of the Zhoushifu, Chen Dinglan is the kind of pure military force that is not pure.
Many people find it difficult to understand why they should join the army when they have no freedom and hard work.
Many military personnel also find it difficult to understand why these people have such doubts. If they don’t join the army, who will protect their homes and country, and who will protect the people?
A person's height is not always linked to knowledge, including quality and cultivation, nor is it directly related to academic qualifications.
Chen Dinglan is the kind of person who is confused about why the world has questions?
If the world does not pay attention to the military, who will protect the country?
Chen Dinglan was confused and couldn't find the answer, so he was not pure anymore.
A pure naval force was unable to fight against the Japanese thieves, but Chen Dinglan found another way to turn the pure navy force into pirates, giving them ships, funding them, and letting them grow and develop in secret. Since he could not do it in the open
If you want to protect the people on the surface, then you should transform into a thief and use your body to kill the thief.
But Chen Dinglan never mentioned the time limit to Wang Tianyu and others, how many years he would have to be a thief, let alone whether he could return to the camp and join the army after becoming a thief.
Chen Dinglan didn't say anything, and Wang Tianyu and others didn't ask.
Because it makes no sense.
If you become a thief, you will always be a thief. This road is dark, endless, and will not end well. It is accompanied by blood and fire. The sea is their destination. Their life is to be thieves and ghosts on the sea.
Fight and kill the Japanese thieves. Their fate has already been determined. They will kill the thieves or be killed by the thieves.
Chen Dinglan actually envied Wang Tianyu. If he could, he would also like to become a thief, a thief who killed Japanese pirates at sea, instead of a dog on land, a dog of a noble family.
But without the dogs of his family, thieves like Wang Tianyu would not be able to be thieves or kill thieves.
They are all giving, and they are all walking in the darkness to protect the light.
Chu Qing did not whistle, but called his friends over, and introduced everyone to Chen Dinglan one by one with great solemnity.
Glancing at Chu Qing, whose attitude changed drastically, Chen Dinglan glanced at Wang Tianyu slightly, but said nothing.
How could a smart person like Chen Dinglan not know that Wang Tianyu told Chu Qing everything?
It is precisely because Wang Tianyu trusts Chu Qing that Chen Dinglan is more willing to join Chu Qing's pirate ship.
To be precise, it is not about who is in whose boat, but cooperation, complementation of strengths and weaknesses, and like-mindedness, all for the same goal, a goal that is difficult to achieve by oneself.
Most of the friends are not fools. This is the first time that Chu Qing has shown respect for an outsider. Fu San no longer criticizes Chen Dinglan. Outside Guo Cheng, they exchange cups and drink with each other.
Until nightfall, one warship after another slowly approached the coast.
These sixteen warships were the warships that Shang Yundao's navy was going to use to suppress the bandits. There were 7,000 sailors of the navy on board. No one got off the ship, and all the food and accommodation were on board.
"Tomorrow, get on the boat and kill the thieves!"
These six words, coming from Chen Dinglan’s mouth, are very impactful.
Chu Qing was no longer wary and happily accepted the invitation.
"Okay, let's board the ship tomorrow and see how the boat master brothers killed the Japanese thieves." Chu Qing looked at Tong Gui: "Oh, by the way, little boy, I'll run over soon and take Tan Ma to Shangyun Daozhou.
In the division camp, Chen Shuai’s family and children are all in the camp. If I don’t come back within ten days, I will kill him everywhere.”
Chen Dinglan's smile was a little far-fetched.
Chu Qing smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Commander Chen, we will be back within ten days, right?"
"That's true."
"I feel like Chen Shuai is a little unhappy. Come on, smile."
Chen Dinglan: “…”
Everyone continued to drink, while Chen Dinglan smiled bitterly.
He really didn't have anything else on his mind, but being threatened by someone so loudly made him feel a little uncomfortable. However, when he thought about it, Chu Qing's arrangement was as it should be. If it were him, he would do the same thing.
, after all, once you get on the ship, your life is in the hands of others.
At the wine table, Chu Qing didn't ask Chen Dinglan deeply about "raising a thief". He didn't really care. He admired him, but he didn't like this kind of walking in darkness to serve the light. He liked to walk in the light.
Doing very dark things.
Keeping one hand is just a way for Chu Qing to add insurance for himself. Trust cannot be established with just a few words. The intersection of life and death always requires a process, but this does not prevent Chu Qing from admiring Chen Dinglan.
There are two kinds of people in the world, those who are in trouble and give up on themselves, and those who struggle hard and live toward death even in the face of adversity.
Chen Dinglan is the latter. He has not been defeated by the current predicament, difficulties and adversity of the boat master. If one road is blocked, there is another. This is blocked, and there is another. This is the case with people and things. There are at least three paths to take. There are always three ways to go.
There is a path that suits you, so why bother to stick to it? Just go with what you can, even if it doesn't go far, just dare to go.
Drinking wine, chatting casually, telling interesting stories about the sea, enhancing feelings and understanding each other.
We were going to sea early tomorrow morning, so everyone was more restrained, had enough food and wine, and went back to sleep.
Chu Qing was not in a hurry to return to the newly built house in Guocheng, but walked with Fu San on the beach, looking at the general outlines of the navy's warships in the darkness.
You can't see the details, it's too dark, but you can tell from the outlines that there are large and small warships. The largest one is much larger than the Mo family's Revenge, but there is only one, and the other warships are bigger than
The Mohist Revenge is much smaller.
These warships can be said to be the majority of the property of Shang Yun Dao Zhou Division. You must know that the three Dao Zhou Divisions combined only have seventy-seven warships.
If it weren't for Chu Qing, if it weren't for the fact that it was winter and Japanese bandits rarely sailed, Chen Dinglan would definitely not have brought so many warships and 7,000 sailors to suppress the bandits.
More than a hundred people left on fast horses.
Chu Qing looked over and said with a smile: "Children are becoming more and more reliable in doing things."
The person who left was Tong Gui. He led the people to the camp of Shang Yun Dao Marine Corps. As for entering the camp to watch Chen Dinglan's relatives, he still found a way to trick these handsome wives, children, and children out of the camp as hostages. Chu Qing didn't have to worry about it.
, Tong Gui knows what to do.
It's not that Chu Qing is suspicious, but that he has gone through too many things. What he now shoulders is not just the lives of a few people or dozens of people, but also the number of people who want to kill him. If he is not careful, everything he does will be
All previous efforts will be wasted. It is not Chu Qing's boast. Whether Chang Dynasty can return to the peak from the predicament of decline and create a prosperous age is inextricably related to Chu Qing.
"Master, Chen Dinglan's method coincides with yours."
Chu Qing had already told Fu San about Chen Dinglan secretly "raising thieves", and the third brother smiled and said, "You also said before that if you have a ship, you will pretend to be a pirate and go to Yingdao."
"It's different. At that time, I still thought of things simply. The situation in the East China Sea, even for just one Shang Yundao, is more complicated than I thought before."
Looking at the cascading waves, Chu Qing said with a smile: "But what you said...if dozens, no, hundreds of ships and warships suddenly appeared on the sea, invincible and invincible warships, they came to Ying.
Island, will the Japanese thief be surprised and surprised?"
The third brother smiled slightly and answered the question: "I suddenly thought of something. Master, you said before that you are not afraid of future generations judging you, but I am still a little worried. Otherwise, you should not destroy the country of Yingdao. You will be infamy for future generations.
It doesn’t sound good.”
Chu Qing was stunned for a moment: "Then you can't stop doing this just because of the reputation. Third brother, you should know what kind of beast the thief is."
"No, what I mean is that it's not you who destroyed Ying Island, but a group of pirates who destroyed Japan. The history books of later generations will not blame you, but the pirates."
Chu Qing was dumbfounded.
He understood what Third Brother meant. The problem was... to overthrow a country would cost... tens of thousands, no, at least hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands... pirates, can anyone believe this?
Before Chu Qing came back to his senses, the third brother smiled and said: "Yingdao and our Dachang have good relations. How can we, Dachang, watch Yingdao being subjugated and exterminated? See Yingdao being beaten by so many pirates."
We have no power to fight back, no, we have to send troops to relieve Yingdao, it’s a pity..."
"It's a pity that when we went there, there was no one alive on Yingdao?"
"Well, what the young master said, I think this possibility is very high. Not only are there no survivors, but the pirates have also run away. Look, that place is empty. We Chang people have good intentions, so I just
If you can reluctantly take over those islands and raise your children as you please, you can't go in vain."
