Chapter 1379 Naval Battle (2)

"I won't reveal my identity." Zhao Hu said lightly.

"Uh...then do you know the details of the opponent? How many warships are there in Mingyue City? How many soldiers are there? Do you know all of these? If you rush to attack with troops like this, it will be easy for the opponent to wipe out the whole army." ah!"

Peter's spokesperson tried his best to persuade Zhao Hu. In his opinion, Zhao Hu's sending troops at this moment is simply reckless. If the smuggling activities cannot be carried out, at most there is no extra money. As long as they stay in the empire, forgive the Mingyue City Lord for them. helpless.

And even if the war started, he didn't care if Zhao Hu was wiped out, but he was most afraid that those militiamen with imperial military status who followed Zhao Hu would be captured by the other party.

Once you let the other party know your identity, you just need to yell at the outside world, and your boss and your subordinate staff will definitely not be able to bear it!For his own sake, he must stop Zhao Hu from launching this war.

"Hey, who said we don't know the details of Mingyue City?" Zhou Wen, who didn't like Peter's spokesperson, immediately interjected, "Don't you think we captured those Qingyue sailors just to treat them like our ancestors? Waiting for you to drink? We are not so stupid! Let me tell you, we have figured out the situation in Mingyue City a long time ago!"

"What! Have you figured out all the information? How can I..." Peter's spokesperson immediately swallowed the rest of the words when he said this. He is just the spokesperson for the governor of Peter's smuggling activities, like this military officer's territory. I really don't have the right to ask about it.

At the same time, since he knew the other party's situation and still decided to go to war, it meant that Zhao Hu thought that he had a chance of winning. Even Peter's spokesperson, a civil servant, knew this common sense.

So he didn't continue to ask, but just sighed and said: "Oh, since your lord is confident, then I wish you success, please allow me to leave first, no matter how important it is, you have to inform the governor."

Kate's spokesperson also bid farewell to Zhao Hu, but before he left, he suggested that it would be best to join the troops sent by the division commander, but after Zhao Hu politely refused, he stopped talking.

He thought the same as Peter's spokesperson, since Zhao Hu dared to do this, he was sure to win. If so, then he didn't have to trouble the division commander, anyway, the benefits of winning would be indispensable to the local division.

When Zhao Hu sent the two spokespersons away, his order just now had been conveyed to the entire Zhao Hu collar.After receiving the order, the leader of Zhao Hu's subordinates, who stayed behind, did not know what was going on, but carried out the order as soon as possible.

The servants who trained the cavalry by the sea did not need to prepare much after receiving the order, and rushed to the pier as a whole team, and then boarded the ship with men and horses.Immediately afterwards, Juan, who was always watching the situation, also quickly rushed onto the ship with the remaining militiamen.

And the slowest should be Sun Jie and other personal guards who escorted the captives off the boat after the spokesperson left, but no one laughed at their slow movements, because while escorting the captives, they also had to collect from the local labor captives. Pick up a large number of excellent sailors.

The addition of these sailors allowed the half-paralyzed fleet to recover immediately.Of course, captives who could control the twenty warships and catapults were indispensable, and Kai Hai was one of them.

Zhao Hu didn't need to worry about the soldiers on the ship who participated in the battle, the militiamen from the imperial army, and the sailors from the rogues. Zhao Hu was concerned about the servants from the prairie.

Although they have also started to learn to swim, they have never been on a boat before, and they can't avoid situations. No, the boat hasn't started yet, and it just shakes slightly with the waves, which makes their faces look ugly.

Zhao Hu saw that although these prairie men felt uncomfortable, they still held back their mounts and stayed in the cabin. Regarding these, Zhao Hu didn't say anything, just patted the shoulders of a few servants and turned to leave.

Zhao Hu knew very well that these servants were the foundation of Zhao Huling's military strength. Without them, Zhao Huling's combat effectiveness would be reduced by at least half.

And these prairie men followed me silently, even if they died in battle in a foreign land far away from their hometown, they would have no regrets. I couldn't express my gratitude for how they treated me.

Not to mention that they won't accept my gratitude, just showing these gratitude is enough to change the meaning, so I can only keep these feelings deep in my heart.

Most of Zhao Hu's militiamen were from the regular army, so they were fast. In a short while, a hundred or so ships were filled with personnel.

Although it was a bit overloaded, with the guarantee of the rogue sailors, Zhao Hu waved his hand, and the fleet sailed up and down to the southeast peninsula again.

There are dozens of taverns on the port of Mingyue City, which can be regarded as a more prosperous area besides Mingyue City.

Of course, these taverns are not high-end, and the rich and powerful of Mingyue City will not appear in the pier tavern.

Therefore, these taverns can be said to be equivalent to special places for rogues, and they are all noisy places.

In one of the taverns, all the seats were full of customers, and the gaps between the tables were also full of people. Judging by the attire of these guests, they all came from bandits.

Although there was nothing on their table except low-quality drinks and cheap seafood, these people still ate and drank lively, shouting loudly was unavoidable, and quarrels and fights appeared from time to time, and the whole tavern was full of smoke.

The owner of the tavern hid under the counter and counted the coins with a smile. He didn't bother to care whether the gangsters were fighting or killing and setting fire.

Anyway, this tavern of mine is not worth much at all, as long as my cash drawer is not robbed, then there is nothing to lose.

"Boss! Serve me good wine and good food! I want to treat my brother well."

The boss's favorite sentence came to his ears, and he looked up happily, his face changed, showing a mocking expression, and said in a strange voice: "Mode, why are you so generous this time?" ? But you also know that my store is a small business..."

The conversation between the boss and Maude caught the attention of the rogues around.

Several rogues who knew Maude and were drunk immediately laughed loudly: "Mode, don't slap your face to make yourself fat, this shabby tavern can have a pot of wine and a fish, it is high-end goods, what more good wine do you want? Good food?" The boss quit and sneered: "Broken tavern? Huh!" He took out a bottle of wine and put it on the counter and shouted: "Look what this is! Heroic blood of the Liberty Alliance! Is there no such thing as a tavern? Good wine and good food, but you bastards can't afford it, so you don't know!"

When everyone was watching the blood-like liquid in the glass bottle next to the counter, they clattered a few times, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on the counter, only to see a few oval metal flakes in the bottle beating nearby.

Seeing the golden light, everyone gasped subconsciously, gold coins!

Gold coins are actually used for consumption in this broken tavern!Too much money and no place to use it?You must know that the hero's blood only needs one silver coin!

At this moment, Mode said something shocking with a relaxed face: "For the sake of this little money, let's order wine and food. If you have more, you don't need to look for them."

The few subordinates behind him also showed a look of indifference, as if throwing a few copper coins, but anyone could see the smug look on their faces.

The boss's face changed immediately, and he quickly put the gold coins into his arms, and said flatteringly: "Boss Maude, please take a seat, the good wine and food will be here soon."

The noisy sound in the tavern immediately became quieter, and everyone was watching Maud and his group.

I saw them acting gracefully, filling their small wine glasses with a little aristocratic style, and at this moment, everyone discovered that Maude was all well-dressed, and there was a beautiful saber around his waist. , It is simply heaven and earth.

Of course, Maude noticed the expressions of the people around him, and whispered triumphantly: "Look, the same consumption of a few gold coins can cause such a stir in the taverns in the city?
"If we do this in the city, those rich and powerful must despise us upstarts, how can we enjoy the feeling of being watched like this now."

Mod's subordinates immediately flattered and said: "Hey, Boss is wise, the action that Boss threw gold coins just now is so cool, it made their eyes pop out, and many of them turned green! This feeling really makes me feel ecstatic."

"Now you know how wise and powerful I am? At the beginning, you guys still had opinions on taking refuge in the lord. If I hadn't made a quick decision, how could there be a day when I come to the tavern to spend gold coins when I dress well?" Maude said proudly .

"Yes, the boss is wise, I might as well wait." Mod's subordinates immediately bowed their heads in admiration.

A subordinate with a more flexible mind suddenly thought of something and asked: "By the way, boss, the lord asked us to exchange gold coins for copper coins. If we directly exchange for the gold coins here, will it violate the lord's order?"

Mode laughed and said: "Hey, do you think I intercepted the funds given by the lord without permission? I'm not so stupid as your boss, this is the reward given by the lord. You guys are each worth a dozen gold coins. Your boss and I Where will the less go, so eat and drink with peace of mind."

"Hey, we just don't want to offend the lord. Boss, besides exchanging copper coins and recruiting shipwrights, what other tasks does the lord have? We all want to make more meritorious deeds. We must know that meritorious deeds determine our money status."
