"Do you really want Marshal Yu to lead his troops south?"

In the cabin, An Jianqing looked at Zhao Yu and asked with some uncertainty.

Since ancient times, the Annan Kingdom and the southwestern barbarians have been a serious concern for the Central Plains dynasty.

It is not that easy to solve the problem of border barbarians once and for all. The previous dynasty has been using troops against the barbarians in the southwest and southeast since Taizu.

But hundreds of years have passed, and these barbarians who occupy natural dangers and geographical advantages are like inexhaustible weeds.

When the imperial army pressed on the border, they would rush into the dense forests and mountains. When the imperial army retreated, they would come out again hoping to disturb the border.

Again, it is impossible for the Central Plains Dynasty to kill all the barbarians on the border.

The barbarian soldiers are good citizens in their spare time, but after all, the people in this remote mountainous area are very tough, and these people are elite soldiers when they pick up weapons!

"Of course, if not, why would I put those nobles back so easily?"

Zhao Yu picked up a pear with one hand, took a hard bite, and said with a confused expression.

"But……"

An Jianqing wanted to say something more, but at this moment, there was loud gunfire outside the cabin.

The two looked at each other, and Zhao Yu threw away the pear, pulled out the gun from his waist, and flew out of the cabin.

An Jianqing also drew his sword out of its sheath immediately and followed Zhao Yu cautiously out of the cabin.

His current martial arts cultivation has far exceeded his previous state.

But the more this happened, An Jianqing knew the power of Bingzhan Division's new firearms.

Within ten steps, let alone him, even Erha's indestructible King Kong couldn't stop that little blunderbuss.

The two of them walked out of the cabin one after another and saw a few chiefs holding muskets on the side of the treasure ship not far away, commanding something.

When I got closer, I realized that these guys were instructing their followers to salvage the corpses.

After a while, the old man's body, which was full of holes, was fished out by the retinue and placed on the deck of the treasure ship.

"this……"

Looking at the principals holding guns in their hands, Zhao Yu knew what was going on without even thinking.

"Sir, I just remembered that this old guy is a clan member of the Annan Kingdom. If we let him go back, it might ruin your plan!"

One of the chiefs put away his gun, walked up to Zhao Yu and explained softly.

"plan?"

Zhao Yu turned his head and glanced at the principal, then asked with a smile: "Tell me, what is my plan?"

The chief was stunned for a moment. He first glanced at the people who had landed on the boat, and then at the followers around him.

Zhao Yu waved his hand, and the Jin Yiwei immediately stepped forward and sent the boat to the dock.

"Go back to the cabin..."

Zhao Yu looked at the principal who was hesitant to speak, then turned around and walked towards the cabin with a blank expression.

I just took another look at the principal in my heart. Compared to others, this person obviously has a much more delicate mind.

Such a person is just doing a main job, which is somewhat wasted.

…

"Tell me, what did you see?"

In the cabin, Zhao Yu looked at the master and asked with a smile.

"Since ancient times, the Central Plains dynasty in southern Xinjiang and the southeast has been almost impossible to eradicate. The reason is that the land in this area is barren and the people are fierce. Even if they are conquered, there will not be much profit.

What's more, if you want to completely exterminate the barbarians in this barren land and rivers, the manpower and material resources consumed are enough to bring down a less wealthy court."

The chief glanced at Zhao Yu, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. Then he said again: "The move of Wang Jia Qian Sheng will make them want to move north to a rich land from the bottom of their hearts.

In addition, if Marshal Yu really uses troops and has the support of firearms from the Department of War, ordinary poor people may still have a chance to survive under the army of the previous dynasty, but their noble stomachs are just military merit."

Zhao Yu nodded slightly after listening to the principal's words.

"After this incident, the minds of those nobles have become active. Once Marshal Yu's army arrives, it will not be so easy for Annan and Champa to get military pay and soldiers from these nobles."

"Just letting them go north to the rich land, will it..."

The chief officer looked at Zhao Yu with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"Haha, the meat is rotten in the pot. If they go north, they can't have a breath of fresh air. The adults in charge of taxation at the Ministry of Household Affairs are always busy!"

Zhao Yu smiled and then said lightly.

What the principal said was good, but he still didn't hit the point.

What really tempted these nobles was not that Zhao Yu offered them the opportunity to go north to a rich land and continue to enjoy the future of glory and wealth.

But in the residence of the pacifier, the blunderbuss fired by the chief and the three thousand navy were wiped out in the blink of an eye!

The ultimate function of firearms is to measure the area of ​​territory!

"Sir, does that old man count..."

Chief Liu took half a step forward and asked Zhao Yu tentatively.

As soon as the words fell, everyone pricked up their ears. This was what they wanted to hear most.

"Calculate!

"

Zhao Yu laughed and said loudly.

Everyone was overjoyed. This trip seemed to be quite worthwhile. They had just passed Xinzhou Port and they all had military honors on their bodies.

No wonder...

At this time, the man who had been in charge of the Ministry of War nodded clearly.

The people from Jinyiwei and Xichang heard that Zhao Yu, who was still the envoy of the town, sent people out of the capital. They all raised their heads, sending money to Shangguan, and wanted to follow them with a smile.

At first, they were all confused. They didn't understand why these guys who usually frowned when they came out of Beijing were so enthusiastic.

Only now can I see that if I follow Wang Jia Qiansui, I can make a lot of money wherever I go.

"It's just that what happened today was a bit reckless. You are all the best among men. You must be calm and collected when encountering problems..."

Zhao Yu looked at the principals with evil spirits in their brows and had no choice but to speak out to educate them.

"We have just arrested an Annan clan member, and you are so impulsive. If you have greater military exploits in the future, why don't you arrest your own people first?

You know, only those who have thunder in their chests and faces as flat as a lake can be worshiped as generals. From now on, everyone..."

Facing a group of subordinates, Zhao Yu shook his head and started teaching everyone.

But just as Zhao Yu was talking about how happy he was, at this time, a messenger came in quickly and knelt on one knee in front of Zhao Yu.

"Reporting to Thousand Years Old, there seems to be water pirates wandering five nautical miles ahead of the treasure ship, fearing that they may harm the fleet!"

"What?!"

Zhao Yu was a little unhappy at being interrupted, but now he heard that a mere water bandit dared to come to his door, and he became furious.

He pulled out the gun from his waist and shouted at everyone: "What are you doing standing still, you copycat!"

After that, he rushed out of the cabin first.

Everyone behind them looked at each other in confusion. Chitose just said that he wanted to have thunder in his chest and a flat lake in his face, but his expression changed completely.

After everyone came to their senses, they followed Zhao Yu out of the cabin with excitement on their faces.

…

On the vast sea, a big ship is riding the wind and waves.

On the bow of the ship, a man in black robe was sitting on a large chair with withered flowers, looking at the huge waves knocked away by the bow of the ship, in a daze.

Behind him, on the deck of the ship, stood dozens of men in various attires.

Each of these men has a strong aura, and you can tell at a glance that they are not ordinary martial arts masters.

"Master, we will dock in about fifteen miles, should we make some plans?"

At this moment, a woman with a cold temperament walked up to the man, leaned down and spoke softly.

"Need not!"

The man stared at the sea and slowly shook his head.

Not far from the sea, the outline of a small island loomed in his eyes.

The moment he saw the small island, the man's eyes shot out two gleams of substance.

"You have been waiting for hundreds of years, but the result still fell into my hands. From this point of view, it is fate that is mine after all..."

The man stood up slowly, staring intently at the island that was gradually becoming clearer.

Rumble!
