On the outer sea, a huge fleet was slowly moving forward. Their target was Liaodong.
"General Gan Ning, are there only three warships? Isn't it too little? "On the flagship of the warship, Yang Chen asked a general on the side. This time they came out with a huge fleet, but that was because they were followed by troop carriers, and even some empty ships, only the helmsman and the captain were in charge, the rest were empty.
"Too little?" Gan Ning looked at Yang Chen and smiled. "Yang Daren, you should have never seen the power of this Sovereign Class warship!" Gan Ning said to Yang Chen.
"En?" Yang Chen raised his eyebrows. He really hadn't seen the power of this new warship. He had been presiding over the affairs in Liaodong, and these so-called Sovereign Class warships were newly equipped for the Navy.
These warships were huge, at least two or three times larger than the Yangzhou navy's warships. However, they didn't have the ballistae that the Yangzhou Army needed. What should they do?
Instead, it became a pile of iron lumps, in Yang Chen's view, it was absolutely ugly. What was the use of these things, Yang Chen didn't understand at all.
"Haha, Sir Yang, don't underestimate these lumps of metal. These lumps of metal are much more powerful than the ballista." Although Gan Ning was laughing, he didn't have the slightest intention of ridicule, because he had the same idea at the beginning, but in the end, he was completely suppressed by this thing.
"General, why don't you show Yang Chen your hand!" Gan Ning's deputy general Liang Chen came over.
"Eh? Who is this? " Yang Chen saw such a general who didn't look like a general, and a civil official who didn't look like a civil official. You could say that he was a general, but he was wearing an official hat. You could say that he was a civil official, but he was wearing armor.
"Take off your hat for me, and that brocade robe!" Gan Ning shouted at Liang Chen with a gloomy face. It was simply too shameful. "Sir Yang, this person is the deputy general of our army and the captain of the Burly Man." Gan Ning had a total of three Sovereign Class warships. One was Huaxia, one was Great Han, and one was Yan Huang.
"Yang Da Ren, let you laugh at me!" Gan Ning said to Yang Chen.
Now, Liang Chen was Lord Liang. In the past, he used to be a pirate and wore brocade clothes out of vanity. In fact, he still had an inferiority complex. He was afraid that others would look down on him. After all, they were pirates. But now, it was different. He had become an official, and his position was not small. With Liang Chen's current position, the county magistrate of the past would bow to him when they saw him.
Because of this, this kid was very proud of himself. The hat he was wearing now was the uniform of a general. Aside from fighting, a general wouldn't wear armor.
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Yang Chen didn't care about this at all. There were many strange people and talented people who had bad habits. What he cared about was these three Monarch-Class warships. "General Gan, what did this general just say?"
Gan Ning looked at Yang Chen's expectant look and knew that it must be demonstrated. He couldn't help but stare at Liang Chen. You are meddlesome. Originally, without Liang Chen, he didn't have to demonstrate. You have to know that this cannon was worth ten thousand taels of gold. Although it was a bit exaggerated, there was still a loss. Not to mention, this time they demonstrated it once more, so when they attacked Liaodong, there would be less killing of the enemy.
However, Gan Ning still took Yang Chen to the open sea to demonstrate.
"General, there is a small island in front!" Liang Chen said to Gan Ning.
"You talk too much! Set sail. "
The specific scene was not described, but after returning, Yang Chen's face changed in two ways. One was purple, which was because he was scared. This power, was this Heavenly Thunder? Otherwise, how could it be so powerful? It was said that when the island was discovered a thousand years later, the indigenous people on the island worshipped the God of Thunder because of this.
There was another color, which was red, which was the look of excitement. With such a sharp weapon, Liaodong was nothing.
"Let's go! If I can't take the head of Gongsun Kang, I won't go! "Yang Chen was full of lofty sentiments.
… …
Liaodong's dock was deserted. Liaodong was close to the sea, this port was also a good port. Unfortunately, it was not the era of great navigation, so the sea transportation was very empty. This port was built because of the trade of military horses with Jiangdong's Sun Ce. It was expanded when he traded with Yangzhou's King Of Shu, Liu Mang, and now it has become such a scale.
His Highness Yangzhou's King Of Shu now had a falling out with Liaodong. Naturally, this port was abandoned.
The people on the dock who relied on their strength to eat were unemployed one by one, and the shops on both sides also lost their vitality.
"Hey, don't you think this Lord Gongsun Du is talking nonsense! Why did he have to be with that Cao Ahan? Now it's good, all of a sudden he made us eat northwest wind. If you ask me, what's wrong with His Highness King Of Shu! "A coolie porter complained on the side.
"Speak less, be careful not to be caught by Lord Gongsun Du's people!"
"What are you afraid of, I don't steal or rob. Now that I have no food to eat, why don't you let people say a few more words?" This coolie porter was full of Genesis Qi over there. His house was almost unable to open the pot. There were only a few merchant ships on the dock, how could it be enough?
When he shouted, many people on the side looked over.
"What are you looking at, haven't you seen people angry before?" As the saying goes, when a person is in a bad mood, he will be unhappy with everything. Now, this was reflected vividly on the people of Liaodong.
"What's wrong with looking at you, I can't look at you!" Not only this brawny man was full of resentment, but the others were also very unhappy. They were like a barrel of gunpowder, as soon as it was ignited, it would immediately explode.
"Yo, you son of a b * tch, you want to fight with me, right?"
"Let's fight, I'm not afraid of you!"
"Damn, I'll kill you, you son of a b * tch." With that, he started fighting. This was the custom of the people of Liaodong. They didn't talk reason, they only talked about the fist.
"What's going on, what's going on!" In just a short while, there was a fight over there. These porters were all from different villages. When people from their villages were beaten, they naturally couldn't back down. They had to fight back. The more they fought, the more people there were. In the end, the people of the local government were attracted.
If this fight continued, it would be a big problem.
"What's going on? What's going on! " The bailiffs of the local government all came, and they even had sticks in their hands because they knew that it was useless to reason with the people here. They had to rely on their fists.
After inquiring about it, they knew that it was useless to do anything. It was just two people who didn't like each other. Because they didn't have a job, they completely exploded under the accumulation of resentment.
Even these officials of the county government also had complaints about their master Gongsun Du, because when they traded with His Highness the King Of Shu of Yangzhou, they didn't take less rebates. Moreover, Yang Chen was also very good at dealing with people. A little bit of small profit made these officials of Gongsun Du happy. Naturally, the door of convenience was wide open. It could be said that Yang Chen was able to leave Liaodong so smoothly, this group of officials of Liaodong had a lot of effort.
"Looking for trouble, come, take them back to the county government for me, let the county magistrate have a good interrogation." Because there was no filial piety, the county magistrate was angry, and you made trouble here. Wasn't this looking for a punching bag?
"Yes!" The bailiffs were ready to take those troublemakers back.
Some people were waiting to be arrested, but some people were unwilling, especially those who were injured in the fight just now. When their opponents were taken down by the bailiffs, they took the opportunity to step forward and slap them twice.
The people who were beaten were immediately dissatisfied. You bastard, you dare to hit me, I will kill you. I will break free from the shackles of the bailiffs.
How could the bailiffs let you break free so easily when you were tied up? So if you wanted to break free, you would be hit by the bailiffs once or twice.
He was already annoyed by the sneak attack. Now that he was hit twice with a stick, he immediately exploded. He didn't care if you were from the government or not. He rolled up his sleeves and attacked. "Bastard, how dare you hit me? I'll kill you!"
"You dare to hit the bailiffs!"
"What's wrong with the bailiffs? I will hit the bailiffs today!"
Hua, the situation was completely out of control. Originally, it was just a brawl between the common people. Now, it had become a war between the common people and the officials. The enemies who were fighting had now become teammates. After all, the officials and the common people had been opposing each other since ancient times. It was time to settle the old and new grudges.
"Stop, stop, people are going to die, people are going to die!" Someone shouted loudly on the side, hoping that both sides would restrain themselves. But when an old man directly punched his handsome face.
"F * ck you, I don't care. If I don't kill you, I will change my surname to yours!" What was the point of killing people? It was more important to have fun.
You punched me again and again, and every punch hit the flesh. Even the county magistrate was beaten into a pig's head. Seeing that the fight was about to become more and more serious, suddenly, someone shouted loudly.
"Stop it! Stop it! Over there, the ship from Yangzhou is coming! "
"The ship from Yangzhou?" Everyone was stunned for a moment. They subconsciously loosened their hands and looked at the sea. Sure enough, far away on the sea level, there were ships slowly coming towards the port of Liaodong.
This was a fleet. There were only two ships that could come with such a large fleet. One of them was the former Little Conqueror of Jiangdong, Sun Ce, and the other was the fleet of Yangzhou's King Of Shu. But later on, both ships became the fleet of Yangzhou's King Of Shu. Because even Jiangdong's Little Conqueror became the subordinate of Liu Mang, the King Of Shu.
"It's Yangzhou's ship, it's Yangzhou's ship. The fleet is coming. Brothers, we have business, we have a way to survive!" The laborers over there were excited and jumped up one by one. The merchants over there were also smiling because the arrival of Yangzhou's merchant fleet meant business.
The bailiffs under the county magistrate were also beaming with joy because the arrival of Yangzhou's merchant fleet meant that their income was coming again. How could they not be happy?
However, the county magistrate on the side was not so happy. He had a bad idea. He was a county magistrate and could be said to be an official.
The eldest son Gongsun Kang was very clear about the actions of Yang Chen, who was sent by the King Of Shu.
A thousand gold in exchange for a million gold in armor and a sword, this was completely robbery. Even the eldest son Gongsun Kang used a sword. In this way, it could be said that Yangzhou and Liaodong had completely torn apart. How could Yangzhou's ships come to Liaodong to trade again? There was only one possibility.
"Enemy!" The county magistrate opened his eyes wide and spat out these two words.
