Chapter 1421 No one is innocent

Naval warfare in the cold weapon era presented two extremes.

Either it is thrilling, the victory or defeat is decided quickly, as fast as Li Yifeng's slap in the face after refuting the rumor, and the warship will sink in an instant.

Or, it is extremely long, chasing and running at the same time. If the time of chasing is included, it is normal for a naval battle to last ten days and a half.

There is one thing even more boring than pursuit, and that is sea voyage.

Of the four ships, Chu Qing was in charge of the Mohist Revenge that had been hand-renovated, Wang Tianyu was in charge of the second-generation Baoyu, which was the deputy commander's boat sent by Chen Dinglan, and Qin Qi was in charge of one, a warship sent from Guanghuai Road.

There is another ship with the smallest number of people, Xiao Yi is in charge, it does not have a strong combat capability, it is located at the rear, and the ship is mostly filled with supplies.

This time I went to sea not in the name of Changchao or the navy, but as a pirate to the islands adjacent to Yingdao.

Originally, Chu Qing, the commander-in-chief of the navy, did not need to accompany the voyage, but because this voyage was of great significance, he was worried if he did not go in person.

Four ships were very few, and eight hundred people were also very few. In addition, this was Chu Qing's long-standing "dream". He had to accompany them, and even dispatched the most powerful weapon of the Dachang Dynasty - Uncle Brother

.

For the Japanese thieves, it was already normal for them to send privateers to invade the three channels of the East China Sea to burn, kill, and plunder.

The Kechang people fought across the sea. Although they were not fighting the mainland of Yingdao, they were also stationed at the place where a large fleet of Japanese pirates was stationed. This was the first time since the beginning of the dynasty.

This archipelago is extremely vast, which is where the poor children of the Mohist family originally lived.

Even the children of the Mohist family don't know how vast this archipelago is. They have always lived in the southern area near the sea and have never penetrated into this primitive unclaimed land. Even the Ying thieves only stationed two islands at least half a year ago.

About a thousand people were also leaning on the beach.

Land is wealth, just like opening a blind box, minerals, water, food and other materials.

In the future, once the whole country is mobilized to attack Yingdao, a supply place will be needed.

Wen Ya said a long time ago that she would give Chu Qing a huge credit, referring to this archipelago. If a full-scale war was launched with the Ying bandits, if they occupied the east of the group in advance and built a coastal defense line to set up camp, it would be equivalent to establishing a camp on the right side of Ying Island.

A bridgehead can be used to attack Yingdao from three directions: south in the middle, north on the left, and west on the right.

Now that there are not enough manpower and warships, Chu Qing's big show with Lan Renshan has not yet begun, but it does not delay him from drawing a map of the archipelago in advance and investigating the distribution of resources within the archipelago. If he wants to do these things, he must first kill them

The Japanese army camp already stationed on the island.

Chu Qing did not need to accompany him just for drawing maps, etc., but he had to be present for the first attack on the Japanese army camp. This was something he had never dreamed of doing, and this battle consisted of four warships and eight hundred soldiers.

The leader of the team is Wang Tianyu. There are nominally 800 people in these four ships, and they are all pirates.

At the stern of the boat, Chu Qing was sitting on a pony, holding a long fishing rod in his hand and throwing the fishing line into the sea, feeling drowsy.

It has been three days since we went out to sea, and the weather has been calm for the past three days.

According to Cuttlefish's estimation, if nothing unexpected happens, they will arrive at the archipelago in twelve days.

For three days, Chu Qing didn't catch a single fish.

Zhao Baodan, who worked part-time as a military justice in the Marine Corps camp and was now qualified as Chu Qing's personal bodyguard, sat next to Chu Qing, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

Chu Qing swung the fishing rod: "If you fart, let it go."

"Boy from the Chu family, according to what the disciples of the Mohist family said, the Japanese pirate ship camp on the nameless island is stationed on the south side. There are less than two thousand people, but the army accounts for half of it, and the rest are military households."

Chu Qing hummed: "What's wrong with the military household?"

The so-called military household, in addition to the army, also refers to the relatives of the army.

"Since it is a military household, I imagine there will be many old, weak, women and children here. Just now Cuttlefish said that when they arrive, they will seize the ships if they can. If they cannot seize the ships, they will throw heavy fire and oil and burn the general camp to prevent the enemy and thieves from leaking information. In addition,

Other than that...Besides, the Japanese thieves will not let anyone go, no matter men, women, old or young."

Chu Qing glanced sideways at Taoist Feng: "What, do you have any objections?"

"Killing like this, I'm afraid..."

Feng Daoren paused and then changed the subject: "You usually say that you want to kill all the Japanese thieves, but it's not just to boost the morale of the army. Do you really plan to do this?"

"Nonsense, then you think I shouted slogans?"

"But how can the common people of the Ying thieves deserve it? They commit so many killings and are not afraid of being punished by God?"

"Dandan, you are not kidding me, are you? If I had not shown up, the Li family in Beijing, the boat master Di Qinhu, the Guanghuai Chen family, and the Luo Yunyu family would all be better off than the others. Where would the punishment be?"

Feng Taoist couldn't laugh or cry: "What will happen to them now?"

"That's because I showed up."

"That's it, you are their damnation."

"If you understand it this way, it will be no problem. I am condemned by God. I can't condemn myself."

The Feng Taoist shook his head: "That's not what the old Taoist meant, but..."

Chu Qing shrugged: "People live in order to continuously satisfy their inner emotions and desires, such as the nurturing grace of their parents, being filial to their parents, such as taking care of their wives and children, then they must continue to work hard, such as Shang Yun Daozhou

The division army wants revenge, so they are always ready to kill the thief. A person's life is driven by inner emotions and desires, so as to gain satisfaction and happiness from it. Then do you know what drives me forward?

?”

"What is it?"

"Be a good person." Chu Qing put away the fishing rod: "Being kind to the enemy is cruelty to the good people. If you want to be cruel, why not be cruel to the enemy? If I let any Japanese thief go, he will kill ten of me in the future.

People of Dachang.”

Standing up, Chu Qing stretched out.

Of course he knew that there were not only Japanese troops stationed on that archipelago, but also many innocent Japanese people.

But what can he do, just kill the soldiers and let the common people go?

Then wait for those old people to spread hatred every day and tell their children how the Chang people massacred their people?

Wait for those women to have children and let them avenge their elders?

When those children grow up, join the army and avenge their parents?

As for assimilation, it is simply playing with fire and burning yourself.

Bring the woman back to the Chang Dynasty and betroth her to the army?

Will those women put aside all their hatred and give birth to children for Chang Sheng?

Those children will "recognize thieves as their fathers" and be loyal and patriotic to Dachang?

The one thing in the world that never stops is time.

What is more stable than time is hatred. As time goes by, hatred will become more and more intense. He is the one who has experienced it personally.

Looking at Chu Qing's back, Feng Taoist had complicated thoughts.

Or to say that many things have two sides.

In the past, let alone destroying foreign countries, even if Dachang Dynasty fell into war, Feng Dao people would not even ask a question and would be happy to hear about it.

But now, after hanging out with people like Chu Qing for a long time, some emotions that had been ignored for a long time slowly burst out in my heart.

Cuttlefish walked over and said in a cold voice: "The three unknown islands of Dongding marked on the map can be reached in two hours. Spring has just begun, and the Japanese thieves and privateers who are entrenched on the islands should not have left yet.

Should we stop sailing and wait for the attack at night, or attack the island during the day?"

"Sign up and ask Yuzai, he has the final say."

"good."

Chu Qing turned his head and looked at Feng Taoist: "This group of Ying thieves colluded with the Yu family before. If nothing happens and they get to the island, you will know why I want to drive away all the Ying thieves."

The Feng Taoist laughed bitterly.

Thieves are thieves, and people are people. Even if the thieves are cruel, what does it have to do with the people of Yingdao?
