The happy life of a prodigal

The pirates have rich combat experience, and compared to the Shenjiying, they are also better at water. If they get close, the outcome is still uncertain.

Of course, that was only before.

The Shenji Battalion led by Zuo Fei this time is 1000 people who have followed him in Nanyang and have experienced many battles. The application of swords and firecrackers has reached the extreme.

Even if the pirates are close, they can still occupy an absolute advantage.

It may be difficult to fight one against ten, but it is not a big problem to fight one against five.

5000 pirates...

No matter how big the island is, it is impossible for such a powerful pirate force to appear.

Because such a powerful pirate force would definitely annex other pirates. In this case, the required supplies would be an astronomical amount, and the merchant ships coming and going would definitely not be able to satisfy them.

After all, besides the merchant ships, a large part of the pirates' supplies came from other pirates, and the two complemented each other.

If there is a pirate force far superior to other pirates, the only source of supplies will be merchant ships. After a long time, it will definitely disperse into different small forces and attack each other again.

Therefore, one thousand divine machine battalions are enough!

"Captain Zhao, do you remember what I said today?"

Zuo Fei looked at Zhao Rui and asked.

Zhao Rui replied: "I remember seven or eight out of ten."

He also told the truth without hiding anything.

Zuo Fei nodded, and said: "It's not easy to remember seven or eight out of ten. After I go back this time, I will send someone to record what I just said and send it to Captain Zhao. OK."

"..."

When Zhao Rui heard this, hesitation appeared on his face, as if hesitating to speak.

Zuo Fei glanced at him and asked, "What? Is there anything wrong?"

Zhao Rui, who had always had a paralyzed face, turned red at this moment, and it took him a long time before he said slowly, "I can't read."

"..." Zuo Fei was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

He really didn't think of this question.

That's right, the troops stationed in the military system have been stationed for generations, and literacy is useless, so what's the use of literacy?

He thought for a while and said: "Illiteracy is not a problem, Shenji Camp has literacy classes every day, if Captain Zhao doesn't mind being with the soldiers, he can take classes with them.

Of course, Xiaowei Zhao can also hire a storyteller himself, but it requires a little more money. I can send a soldier from the Shenji Battalion to follow Xiaowei Zhao for the record.

If Xiaowei Zhao wants to see it, he can tell you all about it..."

Zhao Rui was startled again when he heard this.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion?

Could it be that a small soldier can read and write, and can read books completely?

This......

You know, in this era, it is not easy to be able to write one's own name, and to be able to read a book is to be regarded as having read a lot of poetry and books.

If it is a scholar, it is even more remarkable. In the eyes of many people, it is already a star of Wenqu.

This is true of Kyoto Prefecture, let alone Jinzhou Prefecture?

Soldiers can read and write, so what kind of soldiers are they still doing? Why don't they go to the exam to get fame?

Even Zhao Rui couldn't help but have this idea in his mind.

Seeing Zhao Rui's expression, Zuo Fei understood Zhao Rui's thoughts in an instant. A faint smile appeared on his face, and he explained: "Under An Guogong's order, even if the Shenji Battalion is only a pawn, they must be able to read and understand military books, Order.

Therefore, literacy is a must. Every station of the Shenji Battalion will have a teacher. The teacher will also go out with the army. Even if he will go to the battlefield tomorrow, there will be no order, and the training will continue. Literacy class It's all about. "

Having said that, he paused, and then said: "As far as I know, the New Navy Army was established according to the model of Shenji Battalion, so there must be a literacy class.

Xiaowei Zhao went to the literacy class, and he could also learn about the ins and outs of the literacy class. When the time came, he would ask the teacher to teach him how to manage it, and it would be more clear. "

Zhao Rui was in a daze when he heard this.

There are many things that he had never thought about before.

Especially this literacy class, this soldier still needs to study, throughout the ages, this is the first time I have heard of such a thing, it is really...

For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

After thinking for a long time, I could only nod my head and agree: "In this case, after I go back today, I will go to the literacy class of Shenji Camp, but I'm afraid I won't know many words in a short time, so..."

Zuo Fei nodded and said: "Naturally, I will send someone to follow Captain Zhao."

"Thank you very much." Zhao Rui cupped his hands again.

"It's okay."

The two were relatively speechless.

Zuo Fei turned his head, looked at the soldiers, and was about to order to return.

At this time, the watchman on the mast suddenly discovered something, and shouted loudly: "Northeast, there is a situation!"

Chapter 48 The traitor

The sound sounded, and in just an instant, the entire board of the ship entered a tense state.

All the soldiers of Shenji Battalion took up their weapons, and the soldiers in front of Shenwei were also more focused.

The helmsman turned his head to look at Fei Zuo, quietly waiting for his order.

The soldiers who were resting were also put on light armor, and they returned to their positions.

All this happened in such a short moment that Zhao Rui didn't react at all.

After reacting, he was completely in shock.

He never thought that the reaction of these soldiers was so fast, the reaction was fast, and the action was fast...

If such a Shenji battalion cannot be invincible and invincible, that would be a strange thing!

Thinking so, Zhao Rui turned his head to look at Zuo Fei just like the helmsman.

The pawns are top pawns. Is this general a top general?

At this moment, Zuo Fei was staring intently at the northeast direction, and after seeing clearly that there were indeed faint shadows of ships, his eyes showed a cold light, and he ordered: "Send orders, the fleet will disperse!" ! No one is allowed to act without the order of this general."

"Yes, General!"

Everyone took orders one after another and began to do things according to his arrangement.

Zhao Rui watched from the side and nodded secretly.

So far, I have only seen ships appearing over there, and everything is unclear.

Spreading out and waiting for the other party to approach is indeed the best choice at present.

That being the case, just wait and see what happens on the other side...

Zhao Rui's eyes also flashed a cold light, waiting quietly.

On the other side, the ships heading northeast did not find the ships flying left at all.

At this moment, their attention was all on another fleet due north.

"Boss, it's confirmed, it's Pooh's girl's boat!"

A pirate who looked ferocious walked up to Hu Mei and said in a low voice.

Hu Mei glanced at him, and said leisurely: "Let the brothers sharpen their knives, and go up and fuck her later!"

"Okay!" Hai Kou grinned, with a ferocious smile in his smile.

Turning around, looking at the pirates around, he said loudly: "Did you hear that! The boss said, sharpen the knife, and whoever can catch Pooh's bitch later will reward her!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a booing sound from the whole board.

"Don't tell me, I really haven't tasted what this barbarian bitch is like!"

"Brothers, don't rob me! I just want this one!"

"..."

Mostly some vulgar words.

After hearing this, Hu Mei giggled, but her eyes never left the ship not far away for a moment.

The deck of that ship.

A woman with fiery red hair stood at the bow of the ship with a solemn face, looking around.

A pirate in light armor next to him said in a deep voice, "Boss, I've counted them. There are ships in all four directions. There are seven ships in total..."

Speaking of this, he paused, his eyes showed anger, and said: "There is no flag on the boat, but you can recognize it. It is the boat of Humei, Xiaomianhu and Baimiangongzi's family. It seems that you guessed it." That's right, the Jinzhou port was done by the three of them."

Pooh looked ahead and didn't reply.

The pirate continued: "Besides us, no one knows that we are coming here. The brothers only knew that we were going to Jinzhou port before we left, but if these people can surround us here, they must be here. It is prepared in advance.

In other words, there are traitors among us. "

The few of us here refer to the second to fifth leaders.

These few are all barbarians, and they all followed Pooh all the way from north to south. There were still many before, but now including Pooh, there are only these five left.

It can also be said that these four people are the four most trusted by Pooh.

But she didn't expect that someone among them would betray her.

Thinking of this, Pooh had a cold light in his eyes. He glanced at Lao Wu and asked, "Who do you think?"

Lao Wu opened his mouth as if hesitant to speak, but he still didn't say anything.

Pooh looked at him and said, "If you don't speak, I think it's you. You know what happens when you become a traitor, right?"

Hearing this, the fifth child raised his head subconsciously, saw Pooh's eyes, shuddered all over his body, and hurriedly replied: "I think it's the third child, he has been running outside in the middle of the night recently, and the few of us When we were eating together, I always heard him complaining that he was getting farther and farther away from home, it would be better to go back..."

When Pooh heard this, his eyes darkened, but he didn't say anything.

After a long time, he finally said, "Let the third child come over."

"Yes, boss!"

The fifth child nodded, turned and left.

After a while, another burly barbarian pirate walked up to Pooh's side.

"Boss, you are looking for me."

Pooh glanced at him and said, "The fifth brother said that there is a mole, and the mole is you..."

Hearing this, Hu Ren Haikou, the third eldest, sneered, with a very disdainful expression on his face: "This kid is really interesting."

Pooh glanced at him and said, "Take a few people and lock him into the cabin."

"Got it, boss!"

The third child nodded heavily.

There is no need for too many words between the two.

There was no need for explanation, a tacit agreement was reached.

Pirates are rough people, but it doesn't mean they are simple-minded, simple-minded people can't live until now, no matter what they do.

Since the third child dared to complain at the dinner table, it meant that he never thought about betrayal at all.

If he thought about it, he wouldn't say it.

As for the fifth child, he was preoccupied from the very beginning when he got on the boat. When he saw other pirate ships, he was not surprised, but frowned.

He took the initiative to talk about the traitor again.

For Pooh, or for the remaining five of them, each other is the most trustworthy person.

For so many years, no matter what happened, they never suspected each other.

But this time, the fifth child said directly: there is a traitor.

This shows what?
