"Where?" At this time, the pirate captain picked up the binoculars and looked.

In the distance, he saw an armed merchant ship with a large Korean flag flying above it. Obviously, it was a Korean armed merchant ship.

"Get on board. Get on board." The pirate captain shouted loudly, but the pirates remained motionless.

"Get up. Get up quickly, get up." The pirate captain cursed loudly.

"Head, no. Everyone is dead. Too tired." A skinny pirate replied.This time they went to sea, they got nothing, and the consequence of this was that the morale of the pirates was extremely low.The morale of pirates has a lot to do with the property they rob every time they travel. If they can't rob a lot of property, their morale will be very low.In this case, their situation is very chaotic.Difficult to direct.

"Damn it, look at you, there is a lot of wealth on the Korean merchant ship." The pirate captain stimulated.But the pirates were lying motionless on the ground.

"Head, after this trip, we lost a lot of people. We really can't fight with the Koreans." Some pirates shouted loudly.The way pirates fight is to rely on their superiority in numbers to obtain, if they do not have an advantage in numbers.They tend not to take the initiative to attack, and they heard that the Korean ships are fast and have strong firepower, which is simply not something they pirates can do.

Hearing this, the pirate captain understood what his men meant.But he can't do these things by himself. Looking at the unwillingness of his subordinates to stand up, he may not get any benefits from killing some people. You must know that the prestige of the pirate captain is not only based on killing, but also on more Also build on rewards, no rewards, nothing.

"Damn it." The pirate captain cursed loudly, and then said nothing.He could only watch the Korean ships leave here.

South Korean armed merchant ship.

"Our harvest this time is not very big, but we have discovered many things that we have not seen before, and places that we have never been to." The captain said to his first mate.Hearing this, the chief mate felt very aggrieved, because they didn't fill up the ship this time, and if they went back like this, their loss would be very great.

"I know, you are not happy this time, our ship is not full." The captain comforted.

"Yes. Captain. Although you have already said it. But I still feel that we did not do well this time?" said the first mate.

"Captain, there is a cost for us to go out for a voyage. Moreover, the businessmen who funded us also paid for it. If we return empty-handed this time, think about it, can we go out again next time?" Deputy said worriedly.

"Well, don't worry about it," said the captain.

"When we go back, we will encounter a lot of islands. Find out those islands, and we can go up and find some worthwhile things." The captain said disapprovingly.

"But, boss, if you do this, don't you?" the first mate said worriedly.

"Stop talking. If you talk too much, it won't make much sense." The captain continued.

"The most important thing is the nautical chart. Have you recorded the latitude and longitude of those places?" the captain asked.

"Well, it's recorded. According to the coordinates, there should be no problem." The first officer replied.

"Okay, that's it. This is what we want. With this coordinate, we won't be afraid that we won't be rich." The captain said.

"I hope." The first officer said worriedly.The captain was thinking about the future, but what he was worried about was the present. If the present was not done well enough, their situation would not change much.For them, this is a disaster.They don't want to do that.

"What do you think you think? I don't know. You first mates, second mates, etc. will definitely be captains in the future. You want to have your own boat. With such a boat, you can make money and Live a good life," the captain continued.

The first officer lowered his head.

"However, this voyage is very risky. We always go to places that have been visited by people. There is nothing wrong with it, but there are still many places that have not been visited. This voyage is a challenge. It is not only about making profits, but more It is a kind of adventure, the spirit of adventure. Without these, the sea will eliminate us." Said the captain.

"We are all people who live on dry food." Said the captain.

"If there is no one who ventures forward, it will be impossible to rely on dry food." The captain said.

Sailing is an adventurer's game, and it cannot be done without enough courage.The reason why South Korea can have such a big sailing career is that there is a group of people who are willing to take risks, and the generation that followed them later cannot show such a spirit of active adventure and pioneering.What the captain has to do is to cultivate such a spirit. This kind of thing cannot be cultivated all at once, but a kind of spiritual inheritance.

"Let's go, let's go back. After we go back, we have two things to do in the marine industry." The captain said to the first mate.The first officer nodded.Maybe he still can't understand what the captain means by saying this, but things have to go on.

Chu country.

"My lord, I heard that the Xiang family has already transported a large number of rioters to the state of Qin. Perhaps at this time, they have already made a lot of money from the state of Qin. Such a large amount of money can solve the problem for us Lots of questions," Barr said.

"You think those mobs are so easy to catch. They can't be caught." Ping'an Hou waved his hand and said.

"Those private soldiers are useless one by one. Cannons, guns, and muskets are also given, but even if they lose a battle, it's so difficult to catch them. A bunch of trash." Ping'an Hou cursed loudly.

"My lord, I have a plan." Bar said.

"Oh. Let's hear it." Ping'an Hou said.

"We can use the method of seduction. I heard that Xiang's family is doing this. Specifically, we can do this."At this time, Ba'er whispered his method to Ping'anhou.

"Miao, Miao, just like this, do it quickly, and send these people to Qin." Marquis Ping'an clapped his hands and shouted loudly at this time.

However, the riots in the country broke out in different places, and these places were not connected to each other. In this way, the nobles were given a chance to divide and encircle, but the nobles could not eat so many The mob and the private soldiers of the aristocrats are really limited in combat power. If they gather together to fight together, they may win, but the opponent cannot fight by themselves, especially after the large-scale use of firearms, ambushes and attacks have become a mainstream method of combat. , A large number of soldiers can be shot and killed in one volley, and the chaotic situation caused at once can easily cause the noble private soldiers to panic on a large scale, and then retreat. The thinking of weapon combat has seriously affected the use of firearms.

The Chu army is still a serious army with cold weapon thinking.When force cannot be used, the nobles can only turn to other means.Such means can only be appeasement or deceitful promises.

The capital of Yan State.

"Let's see, father is coming to urge military expenses again." Prince Dan handed over the telegram in his hand to his finance minister with great headache.

"Prince, here, there is really no money in the finances. The emergency tax increase in the previous month has already been demanded." The Minister of Finance said.

"Besides, the current capital city of Yan Kingdom is still so dilapidated. Not only that, it is no longer possible for Yan Kingdom to collect taxes. The last tax has caused a lot of dissatisfaction. If it continues to be collected, I am afraid. " said the Minister of Finance in a difficult way.Prince Dan also set up his own cabinet in the likeness of Qin, which is generally called the Prince's Cabinet by Yan people.If Prince Dan did not provide part of the tax, I am afraid that Yan Wangxi would not want to see the Prince forming a cabinet by himself.

"This." Prince Dan looked at his finance minister in embarrassment.

"I can't help it either. My father is at war with North Korea. The front line needs a lot of military supplies and military expenses. We can only provide this money to my father." Prince Dan said.

"Prince, this can't go on like this. Hasn't the prince understood the current situation in various countries?" At this time, the Minister of Finance was about to cry.

"The size of the Qin army is around 25, and military expenditures continue to decline. The Qin army basically maintains a situation in which it protects its own land from threats. Zhao's army is only 10, and the size of South Korea's army has always been With a scale of 6 to [-], it is impossible to wage a large-scale war on such a scale." The Minister of Finance gave an example.

"I know all of this." Prince Dan waved his hand and said.

"The prince still doesn't understand?" the Minister of Finance said anxiously at this time.

"All countries don't fight wars, and their military expenditures don't increase. Only our country of Yan supports a large number of soldiers and fights abroad. The cost of fighting is really too high. The people of Qin country can't afford it, and the people of Yan country can't afford it. ’” said the finance minister.

"If there is no military expenditure, we can do a lot of things with the financial funds in our hands. Prince, it can be said that Yan's current economy is not bad, but is dragged to death by military expenditure." The Minister of Finance said.

"This." Prince Dan looked at his finance minister at this moment.

"Prince, don't hesitate any longer. If taxes are imposed, the people of Yan will change. It's the same as other countries. At that time, the army may not be able to suppress it. This is definitely a passive for us." said the Finance Minister.

"However, on the father's side, if the supply of military funds is stopped, the entire war will be defeated." Prince Dan said.

"But if the military expenditures don't stop, our whole country of Yan will collapse." The Minister of Finance said, waving his hands.

"Wait, wait, maybe we still have a solution." Prince Dan said while touching his head.

"Yes. I remembered. We still have the helper of Qin State. If we can unite with Qin State, Qin State can do these things well." Prince Dan suddenly remembered that he had sent a telegram to use Qin State's banknotes, In this way, Yan's economy will be tied to Qin's, and with Qin's financial support, they will be able to fight without restrictions.

"Here. Prince, speaking of harsh words, why does Qin State participate in our Yan State's affairs." The Minister of Finance said.

"This." Prince Dan was blocked.He didn't know what to say.

"I believe that we should pay attention to Yan's own affairs at present. If this continues, Yan will be in great danger." The Minister of Finance said with a depressed face.
