On the vast sea, there are vast blue waves, and the blue is as clear as water.
Wherever you look, you can see the blue sea and nothing else. If you go to the sea for the first time, it will be very pleasing to see the vast blue ocean around you. However, as time passed and I kept looking at the blue sea, I no longer felt such joy. I just hoped to get rid of the vast sea as soon as possible.
On the sea, there are warships one after another, chopping the waves and moving forward.
There are fifteen such warships.
The battleship at the front is the flagship. On the flagship, there was a large flag, fluttering in the wind and making a hunting sound. The flag has a golden background and a black dragon with two wings embroidered in the center. The black dragon's claws and mouth were blood red, and red flames were spitting out of its mouth, filled with bloody murderous intent.
This is the flag of the Hercynian Empire.
On the flagship deck, there were soldiers standing guard, and on the deck stood a middle-aged man with short hair, blond hair and blue eyes. Wearing military uniform, he stood solemnly. He had a serious expression on his face, looking into the distance with deep expectation.
This man¡¯s name is Robert. He is nearly forty years old. He has a beard under his chin and looks rough and heroic. He looked at the middle-aged businessman on the side and said, "Hardmon, how far are we from Qi?"
Next to Robert was Hardemon.
He is a merchant who travels on the sea.
Hardemon is extremely proficient in sailing on the sea, but the soldiers of the Hercynian Empire have no experience in sailing such a long distance, so they directly recruited Hardemon.
In fact, it was also because Hardemon traveled between Qi and the Hercynian Empire for business and brought back a large amount of wine, tea, and other silk cloth, paper, etc., which greatly shocked the Hercynian Empire.
Hardemon made money, and after the Hercynian Empire discovered it, it arranged for people to explore the sea routes, and finally recruited the very active Hardemon to prepare to invade Daqi in order to search for benefits.
Hardemon was recruited, and he knew everything and talked about it. Because the empire has announced that as long as it takes over the territory of Qi State, the empire will gain a firm foothold in Qi State. Once it wins, he can become a marquis of the empire.
Since then, the family has risen again.
In Hardmon¡¯s heart, he hoped that he could easily crush Qi.
When Hardmon heard Robert's words, he solemnly said: "General Robert, the sea area we are currently in is close to the southeastern sea area of ????Qi State, but this place is too remote and is not the best landing place."
"To the east of this place, there is a country called Japan. It is very primitive and weak. There is nothing worth mining and it is of no use, so there is no need to stay."
"Now we continue to go north and finally land in Zhang'an County, Kuaiji County, Qi State."
"There is a ferry in Zhang'an County of Qi State, which is suitable for warships to land and dock. As long as we land, we can plunder all the way north, or directly occupy Zhang'an County, which will be our foundation."
Hardmon said: "From now on, we can continuously obtain more specialties from Qi."
After Robert heard this, he raised his hand and touched his aquiline nose. In his sunken eye sockets, his eyes turned with a cold light. After thinking for a while, he said: "This time, I will follow your suggestion. We will go to Zhang'an County to land and fight."
"According to the arrangements of the empire, this time we will not only plunder, but also occupy the territory of Qi State. In the end, we will even turn Qi State into our territory, an area where we have the final say."
"After we capture a land, we must also support the people who serve us. Only in this way can we truly gain a foothold and gain a long-term foothold."
Robert is very clear about the follow-up arrangements.
He is even more confident.
He had nothing to worry about conquering Qi, but it was just a little tricky to manage.
Hardmon said: "General Robert is wise and powerful, and you are a tiger general of the empire. This time we have no big problem in conquering Qi Guoji County. We will definitely win this battle."
Robert smiled and said: "Hadmon, behave well. After this battle, you will be a noble of the empire."
"clear!"
Hardemon bowed, nodding and bowing.
He is looking forward to taking over Qi State. Then he will be able to run rampant in Qi State and get countless benefits. After all, he knows the state of Qi and can know everything about the state of Qi.
Robert stood on the flagship, with his hands on the side of the ship, looking at the blue sea, with deep expectations and joy in his deep eyes.
The empire has sent an order.
?As long as he occupies the state of Qi, he will be the governor here and have great power.
This is a God-given opportunity.
He must grasp it.
When the battleship under Robert's command quickly moved forward, he didn't know that there was a ship on the sea not far away from him.
These boats, on the surface, are all fishing boats.
Hardmond has rich experience and has encountered it before, so he never mentioned it, and Robert didn't care about it. But what Robert didn't know was that the news that he was sailing with warships had already spread.
Along the way, people were staring at Robert and his party of fifteen battleships.
In November, news came out that Robert was heading to the sea near Zhang'an County. Wang Qi got the news in Wu County, so he went south from Wu County to Zhang'an County early.
¡°After all, Zhang¡¯an County is the most suitable landing place in Yangzhou, so Wang Qi must prepare early. Although Zhang'an County has a long maritime front, the most suitable ferry for landing in Zhang'an County is the Haixi Ferry.
Wang Qihuo led his army southward and rushed as quickly as possible. At least arrive at the Haixi Ferry before the Haixi Empire army arrives and make arrangements early.
The army marched hastily. In just two days, Wang Qi's army had arrived at Haixi Ferry.
After Wang Qi arrived, he asked the magistrate of Zhang'an County to arrange to temporarily take away all the people and businessmen near the Haixi Ferry. After all, if the businessmen and people were left behind, once the artillery bombing was fired, the people would definitely be injured.
Instead, soldiers pretended to be ordinary businessmen.
This is to avoid the other party¡¯s suspicion.
Wang Qi himself temporarily retreated with his army and waited on the mountains far behind Haixi Ferry, preparing for an ambush.
In the blink of an eye, another day and a half passed. On this day, warships appeared one after another on the sea at Haixi Ferry. Fifteen majestic ships came quickly and docked directly at Haixi Ferry.
All the blond soldiers of the Hercynian Empire, wearing armor and carrying rifles, began to land on the shore.
"The demon is coming, run away!"
In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted.
"The demon is coming, run away."
"Come on, they are all blond and blue-eyed monsters who want to eat people!"
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The "common people" who gathered on the shore of the ferry one by one suddenly panicked, and all disappeared in a short period of time. With all the people disappearing, the bustling scene beside the ferry suddenly became deserted.
Robert was on the flagship and saw a noisy scene. He was a little weird and said, "Hardmon, what did they say just now? I can't understand what these people are saying."
Hardmon understands the Mandarin of Qi. He explained with some embarrassment: "General Robert, the people in these places have never seen the soldiers of the Hercynian Empire, and they have never seen people with our skin color."
"So, someone shouted monster."
"When the others heard it, they all ran away. They thought we were monsters."
"In addition, in my opinion, it may be that our warships are too majestic and big, which scares these people and makes them think that we are here to plunder."
Robert looked at the group of people going away. The people of Qi State were all black and yellow-skinned, but they were blond and blue-eyed, and their skin color was also fair. They were completely different from the people of Qi State.
Robert smiled coldly and said: "A group of untouchables. These people are just like the slaves of our Haixi Empire. They are a group of untouchables. It doesn't matter if they escape. You are familiar with the road. Let's go directly to the city here and seize the city first. After establishing a foothold, we will support local people to rise to power and make people work for us.¡±
Hardmon said: "The general is wise, these Qi people are just untouchables."
He is now trying to curry favor with Robert, because Robert has become the governor of Qi State. When the time comes, he can find a place in Qi State, work hard in business, and earn more money.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Robert looked slightly satisfied when he heard Hardemon's flattering words. Wearing high boots, carrying a sword and a hat, he got off the battleship.
One by one, all the soldiers on the warships disembarked, leaving only a few soldiers to guard the warships.
This time Robert came with fifteen warships. Each warship had a thousand soldiers, a total of fifteen thousand people. In addition, there are sufficient weapons and elixirs on his warships to ensure that the army's weapons are fully supplied.
When the soldiers disembarked, the firearms and cannons also disembarked. It's just that the disembarkation of these firearms and cannons is relatively slow, and they cannot all be transported in a short time.
It took more than half an hour to remove all the weapons.
The army, all the troops are organized.
Robert left more than a hundred people to guard the ferry wharf, while the rest of the army headed towards the county seat of Zhang'an County with weapons.
This is Robert's goal. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)??'s.
