Ji Tang

Chapter 1061 Make Rules!
"It is our duty to open up a productive space for the race and build a land that can be proud of in this sky for future generations. This is the best of times and the worst of times."

He looked at the chart and murmured: "But you and I are lucky. How lucky are we to participate in this war that strives for profits for the people?"

A small port a hundred miles away from the strait, this was originally a temporary supply point established by the Great Eater on the sea. On weekdays, there were more people when the maritime trade was busy.

But today, the island is surrounded by the largest number of people it has ever seen.

"The Governor!"

A somewhat embarrassed Ades came to the decadent Maimon and whispered: "The statistics have been calculated."

"Say!"

Ades looked ugly. He didn't expect that the loss would be so great. Looking at the disheveled Maimon, it was hard for him to imagine what the proud governor would do.

"More than [-] ships were burned. In addition to the more than [-] people led by General Basel who were all killed in the battle, our army also had thousands of wounded, plus those who were missing, died in battle, or fell into the sea."

"At this time, our army suffered heavy losses, with nearly 2 casualties."

Maimon closed his eyes in pain, it was all his fault, it was all his fault!
Who would have thought that they, who had planned to have a feast, would be attacked by the Tang Dynasty fleet, which had been searching for more than a year?If it hadn't been discovered in time, it would have been too late to say anything by the time the fireship approached.

"revenge!"

Maimon opened his eyes, revealing astonishing hatred.Since joining the army, when has he suffered such a big loss?The Caliph was already very dissatisfied with his lack of decisive battle for a long time. If he waits for the news of this defeat to come back, the outcome waiting for him will not be good.

Those who covet his status will not let go of such a good opportunity.

"Go down with the order and assemble the army to prepare for war. Tell the guys who are transporting food that if they can't deliver enough food within half a month, I will use him to sacrifice the flag on the day of the expedition."

Facing the furious Governor, Ades not only did not have any worries, he actually said excitedly: "Don't worry Governor, your instructions are what we want, the cannibal will never give up!"

On this day, Ji Song led everyone onto the land.

"Remember here, if we want to gain a foothold on the sea, we must control this strait. If possible, the land on both sides of the strait should also be brought under the control of the Tang Dynasty. People will be moved here to farm and live, and this place will be completely transformed It is the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

Ji Song asked people to spread out the sea chart and said to the people behind him: "Everyone, look here."

His fingers crossed Lingnan, Hainan Island, and then the South China Sea.Then across the strait, pointing to the unknown to the west.

"This strait is an important transportation thoroughfare connecting the east and west. It is also the shortest, safest and most convenient maritime channel so far. Once it falls into the enemy's control, we will be passive everywhere. But the enemy will Based on this, if you want to fight, you can fight. If you can't fight, just defend here. But there is no danger behind you."

Cheng Chusi wondered: "Isn't this just a city gate on the sea? Just like Yumen Pass and Tongguan Pass?"

"Yes, you said it very well!"

Being praised by Ji Song, Cheng Chusi was a little embarrassed, but he looked proudly at the Chang'an friends around him, and Li Desai kicked him in anger.

Ji Song ignored these living treasures and nodded: "This is a checkpoint, and it is also a money tree. The cannibals can reap the benefits of fishing on land, so why don't we, the Tang Dynasty, propose a checkpoint here?"

"At that time, all passing ships will have to pay taxes. If they don't pay taxes, they will not be allowed to pass. Can you tell me how the business will turn out?"

As soon as the words fell silent, everyone was shocked.This is almost the same as the cannibal's position on land.

The Great Eater was lucky enough to be at the transportation node between the East and the West, and even monopolized the exchanges between the East and the West.Anyone who wants to enter the far west country will have to lose a layer of wool.

If the Tang Dynasty also built a checkpoint here, just go here and block it. If you don't pay the tax, then don't pass.Treating others in their own way is like retaliation for retribution. Cause and effect are reincarnated!

Thinking that the Great Eaters would be furious if they knew this news, if they dared to interfere with the trade routes on land in the future, then the Tang Dynasty would be able to cut off their eastward passage on the sea. Can a country built on the Gobi desert experience such a confrontation for a long time?

But it's too early to say this now. The spies have brought back information. The cannibal has re-set up camp a hundred miles away. It seems that he is not ready to leave.

Everyone was happy with this kind of information. It would be better if they didn't leave, but at worst they would have to fight again.I was indeed shocked by their bravery last time, but in the past few days, Shangguan's continuous indoctrination has made everyone aware of the significance of this battle.Even if you don't understand, you know that once you lose, your descendants will scold you.I understand better the meaning of this battle!
Sometimes they are just that simple. They are never afraid of fighting, but when it comes to an inexplicable battle with someone they have never seen before without any friction, they are still somewhat psychologically conflicted.

Fight with the Turks, fight with the Qiang people, fight with the Goguryeo people.They all understand these and are even willing to fight because they all have a blood feud.

But now, they are fighting a country they have never heard of before. What does this make them think?
Coupled with the actions of those fanatics who had committed cannibalism before, it made them even more suspicious. They felt that they were the evil party?
Otherwise, why are they working so hard?Are you unwilling to surrender even if you die?
But when they knew that those were the fanatical believers of the religion who were bewitched by the cannibals, they suddenly understood.There was even more fear in my heart!
Of course, religious fanatics understand that during the war in the late Sui Dynasty, there were many people who used the theory of ghosts and gods to instill the existence of gods and gods in the common people. If they are indoctrinated for a long time, these people will become lunatics who only have killing in their hearts, or rational lunatics. .They knew they were going to die, but they kept going for the 'god' who believed in right and wrong in their hearts, not knowing what they were afraid of.

The Yellow Turban warriors in the late Han Dynasty were nothing more than this, and Zhang Lu's Five Pecks of Rice Sect was even more so.Religious bewitchment is not uncommon in the land of the Central Plains.

Now that they understood the true nature of the enemy they were facing, the worries in their hearts completely disappeared.

"General Manager, bring all the leaders in Pei's territory, please give me your instructions!"

When the Tang Dynasty Navy fleet completely controlled the Strait of Malacca, he immediately ordered the arrest of the chief executive of the Pei family territory.Anyone who dares to wield a weapon will be killed!

This time he didn't hesitate at all. Some things can be forgiven, but some things can't. As a lesson to others, some innocent people can't be bothered this time.

We must show some respect to these people, otherwise we really think we can do whatever we want when we reach the sea?
In front of all the stewards of the Tang family's overseas territories, Ji Song decisively killed a group of desperadoes.Not hacked to death, not thrown into the sea, but put on the fire and burned alive.

When the stench of burning smell came, when those people's desperate shouts, begging for mercy, and curses came.Everyone vomited.Even generals who have been fighting on the battlefield for a long time have some disgusting reactions.

Everyone felt a chill in their hearts when they saw the general manager who was still sitting on the chair drinking porridge without changing his expression.Cruel, too cruel.

When all the sounds disappeared and only the stench and burning smell were left in the air, someone fainted.

"Useless things, this is no good? How come you didn't know how to be afraid when you rebelled against the country? Are you afraid now?"

"Tell you, it's late!"

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers escorted more than ten people. These people were all desperadoes, and some of them could no longer be called human beings.

When faced with predators, he behaves like a dog, but when faced with his own people, he behaves like a beast, raping, killing, and plundering, committing all kinds of evil, and Ji Song doesn't feel any burden when he kills them. "Bitch thief, I won't let him go even if he is a ghost!"

Someone wanted to curse, but before he could finish speaking, he was punched back.

Ji Song didn't like to watch people scold him. If he saw someone scolding him harshly, he would kill him. There would be no regrets.

Gu Yanzhi was already vomiting as if he was about to spit out gall. As a son of an aristocratic family, he had been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child. He thought he had seen fights and battlefields, and thought that vomiting on the battlefield would not happen to him.

Today he realized that he was wrong. Seeing the frightened people being burned alive, he was filled with fear when facing Ji Song. Is this the gentle and elegant Duke Ji Song of the past?
This is simply a devil!

"The report to the Chief Manager has been completed!"

Ji Song waved his hand and looked at the overseas manager of the family who was already frightened.

"The reason why I invite you here today is just to see the fate of traitors. You all grew up in the Central Plains, and your ancestors have lived in that land for generations. Since ancient times, there have been constant wars, but most of them have closed their doors. Come and fight yourself. Although I hate this kind of war, I can understand it."

"but!"

He pointed at the fire: "I will never forgive these people who collude with foreigners and harm the interests of the Chinese people. I will never stop until they are all killed!"

"Compared with outsiders, I hate these people who work for the tiger and harm my own interests. People who are inferior to pigs and dogs and who abandon the interests of the group for their own selfish interests are not worthy of living in this world."

"Go back and tell your family heads that the sea is not a place outside the law. The court can ignore territorial matters, but if it involves traitors, they will be killed quickly. There is no excuse!"

The head of the Zheng family suppressed the discomfort in his heart, stepped forward and gritted his teeth and said: "I would like to ask Mr. Xi to explain to everyone, at least set the rules and let everyone be mentally prepared. What is a traitor?"

"Yes, we hate this unscrupulous person in the Pei family. Not only has it greatly slowed down the construction of overseas territories, but it has also attracted such wolves. For this reason, we have to temporarily withdraw from the sea."

"Please, Lord Neng, set the rules. From now on, if anyone breaks the rules, we will attack them in groups!"

Ji Song nodded and said thoughtfully: "I can't make all the decisions on these matters. After returning to Chang'an, I will definitely inform His Majesty and issue an imperial edict. You will naturally know about it by then."

"But I also have a few requests for you. You don't have to listen to them, or even take them seriously. But as I said today, I have been keeping an eye on you. If you violate them, don't blame me for not teaching you and punishing you. !”

Everyone looked at each other and said in unison: "Please give me some instructions from the chief manager!"

"it is good!"

Ji Song stood up and said loudly: "First, anyone who has connections with foreign countries and harms the interests of the Tang Dynasty will be killed!"

"Two, those who wear their hair in left-hand buns and change their clothes by changing the wind, kill them!"

Ji Song looked at everyone: "These two are the bottom line. I hope you can take them as a warning and work together to open up a living space for our Chinese people, so that our descendants will no longer have to worry about land and have no land to farm." , starving to death without food.”

"I'm asking you all to take care of me!"

Ji Song actually bowed and saluted in front of everyone, which made everyone feel a little confused about what they had done wrong.

"Mr. Hao is serious. There is nothing wrong with these two clauses. Today we swear that as long as we are overseas for one day, we will definitely abide by the agreement made by Gong Hao today. We also warn our descendants that anyone who dares to violate these two clauses will be expelled from the family tree."

"I will inform the head of the family when I return to Chang'an. I believe the head of the family will comply."

After saying that, he bowed to Ji Song.

"hope so!"

Ji Song didn't know whether it was true or not, and signaled that everyone could leave.This relieved everyone.They don't want to stay in such a place at all.

Seeing everyone leaving, Ji Song's face suddenly turned ugly.

"Everyone should retreat a hundred feet away, and do not get closer without my general's orders!"

"promise!"

The private soldier looked at the ugly face of his family master and understood clearly in his heart. Although he felt a little distressed, he still made people retreat.

"Yanzhi stays!"

Gu Yanzhi had already collapsed and was about to be helped down by everyone, but Ji Song stopped him.

After a while, everyone had retreated.Although I don’t know why the general manager would make such a decision.But today they have refreshed their understanding of the general manager. At this time, no one dares to come forward to ask, even Liu Rengui and others are no exception!
"Gong Hao."

"vomit"

Seeing everyone leaving, Gu Yanzhi wanted to ask, but saw his chief manager lying on the ground and vomiting.I vomited out all the gruel I just drank.

Seeing this, he actually reacted and couldn't help but vomited
After half an hour.
Ji Song and Gu Yanzhi sat facelessly on the ground, back to back.Even with Ji Song's physical strength, he is completely weak now. Do you really think he didn't have any disturbance in his heart just now?
Ah!That's all a lie.

If he hadn't been holding back, he would have vomited it out. As long as he is a normal person, it would be strange not to vomit when he sees people being burned alive.

But it didn't work. If he had vomited at that time, all the efforts would have been in vain.

He just wants to give these people a cruel image. The sea is really a jungle of the jungle, and there are not so many moral constraints.The Confucian approach simply does not work at sea. It is an extension of mainland politics, but it is not suitable at sea.

Everything on the sea has survival as its first goal. Only beyond this goal can other rules be born.Only by leaving an indelible image on these people can we restrain them.

Only then can they be less unscrupulous in their future actions and let them know the fate and price of traitors. When the price of treason is so high that they are afraid, they will not make wrong decisions easily!
