Chapter 727: Arrests

The water pirate’s reaction to Xiang Yan needs to be observed for a few days, because the water pirate can’t know exactly what Xiang Yan thinks. Moreover, the current situation is extremely complicated, and the interests of all parties have different views on the issue of water piracy.

The merchants of Chu State took the initiative to evade, because merchants mainly focused on business interests, and they did not want to lose more profit because of a little money. If the loss of profit was enough to make the merchant lose money, then the merchants of Chu State would adopt another countermeasure. That is to take the initiative to kill water pirates. At present, the water pirates only levied some protection fees on the merchants of Chu State in the past. This protection fee is just in the psychological price range acceptable to both parties. There is no time for a large-scale conflict of interests between the two sides.

The merchants of the Qin State took a radical approach. They formed one after another armed merchant fleet under the control of the military. Take a tough attitude towards all obstacles that prevent them from getting rich. This toughness comes from the embodiment and symbol of Qin's national strength. They simply don't take water pirates in their eyes.

And the upper class of Chu also thought so, and the upper class of Chu, who had benefited from all kinds of benefits from Qin, were unwilling to let these water thieves interfere with their big business. They have a monopoly on the collection, production, primary processing, and transportation of a large amount of raw materials in Chu. For this behavior of water pirates, the upper echelons of Chu State also had such an extreme view.

"Water pirates are water pirates. Once they enter the water pirates, they will be pirates for life. If we don't get rid of them, we will spoil our great affairs." A Chu country nobleman said at a noble banquet. It can be seen that for the water theft problem. The nobility's idea is very simple, that is, to be wiped out, permanently wiped out.

On the other hand, the Chu State naval forces were under different pressures on both sides. On the one hand, the surface naval forces of Qin State frequently challenged the Chu State naval forces. And the water pirates are in a delicate relationship. The nobles put pressure on it as frequently as the surface naval forces of the Qin State. Under this pressure, the Chu State navy naturally chose to win tactics.

Regardless of the tactics adopted by the Chu State's navy, some of these forces need to form a new alliance relationship in order to make new developments in the situation. Just when the Chu State Navy took new measures. Qi Jun finally ran into the main reserve force of Yan State. The Qi army is on the verge of exhaustion and yet another battle. The Yan army is a group of troops without combat power.

It's funny to say that this uncombatable force is funny. It can even be said to be very absurd.

When Qi Jun broke through the border of Yan State, when Yan Wang heard the news, his psychological defense line was on the verge of collapse. He suddenly felt a danger. He had a feeling that he might be driven out of Yandu again. With this sense of crisis, he first made a decision he thought was very wise.

He ordered that all royal property in Yandu be transferred to Liaodong first. At the same time, Liaodong was established as the accompanying capital of Yan State. This was the first great initiative in the Warring States Period, because no other country had set up a companion capital, and Yan State was the first. King Yan’s move immediately caused a chain reaction.

The merchants in Yandu began to panic on a large scale. Many businessmen began to abandon their property, and then transferred their property to Liaodong. What's more, some officials, wealthy businessmen and began planning to move their family members away. In their view. The king of Yan did not plan to surrender the Yan.

The impact is more than that, the last reserve force of the Yan Kingdom has collapsed under the impact of this news. Those noble children usually play as soldiers, and now, when the real war is about to come, they are all panicked. So they began to take their own domestic slaves, or even pay for hiring people to serve as soldiers, while they drove away in advance. They evacuated the area quickly with their families and their families.

Yandu was panicked for a while, and the defensive troops didn't even plan to resist. In this way, when the Qi army moved fast, Yan Du was busy transferring property and family members. Qin and Zhao are busy making money. Yan's diplomats are busy calculating the country's wealth.

When all the busy schedules were about to go, King Yan suddenly woke up. He thought that he still had an army in his hand to use instead of defending. Yandu failed to defend several times, but this time he simply lost his defense.

Since it's out of defense. Then take the initiative to attack. Wouldn't it be a surprise if you defeated the opponent by any chance? With such thoughts, King Yan suddenly ordered the First Division of the Yan Kingdom, which was defending Yandu, to take the initiative to defeat the invading enemy within three months. This command made everyone at a loss.

"Didn't it say that it was withdrawn?" a Yanmin asked after seeing the notice.

"Doesn't this mean to annihilate the invading enemy?" Another Yanmin said while looking at the notice. Yan Guo was all confused at the next time. They don't know what Yan Wang thinks. One will retreat, and one will fight. No one can tell what is going on. Even King Yan himself didn't know what to do.

What is difficult is the army, and the army is going crazy at this time. Those official children who usually lead five or six people alone, spend money to find cannon fodder frantically. The beggars on the street were almost wiped out in a day.

"Go, Lord, I will give you a good place to eat. You have clothes and food. You don't need to do anything." A gorgeously dressed man waved his hands and asked his two men to pull the beggar away.

Then the beggar was put on a military uniform, and a rusty flintlock was given to him. For the beggar, this rusty flintlock was not as good as his walking stick. The number of Yanjun's division is 30,000. The actual number is less than 5,000. One can think of how many people eat military salaries. Does such a force have combat effectiveness?

Five thousand people became thirty thousand in a short period of time, which is not a small number. The commander of the division is busy with deductions from his army on weekdays. There is no longer the blood of the original war. When he heard the news of the war, he first thought of how to save his life. He did the same as those officials, transferring family members and property. For the army. He didn't expect it at all.

When the order for the expedition is issued. He panicked suddenly. The army simply doesn't have that much. If King Yan reviewed, he would probably be beheaded on the spot. But the actual situation is that five thousand people died and dragged them into just over 12,000. There is still a big gap between 30,000 people.

In order to make up the number of people, the division commander immediately decisively ordered.

"It doesn't matter if it is blind. Dumb. Deaf. Stupid. As long as it is someone, I will catch all of them." This command was given. The army in Yandu arrested people frantically.

"Don't catch me." An innocent farmer was captured by the army in this way. Soldiers use ropes to tie them up, or use shackles against prisoners to tie them away.

"Hey. Catch me. Hey. Catch me." A fool who often wandered the streets was chased by a group of soldiers. The fool thought that these soldiers were looking for him to play. Therefore, he tried desperately to hide. The soldiers really can't catch people anymore. Because people started hiding as soon as they heard the news. There is no other way but to catch some that haven't been hiding. There is no hiding, only this kind of disabled.

Soon, the deaf, blind, stupid, and lame on the streets of Yandu were arrested and served as soldiers. But this is not enough. But the army soon had a solution.

"Boom." With a loud noise, the door of a civilian home was smashed open.

"Ah." The head of the household yelled loudly. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

"Grab, grab it for me." A leader called out loudly.

So the soldiers began to take away the head of the household. Even the teenage boy was taken away. This woman stopped doing it as soon as she saw it.

"Why do you catch my man? Why do you catch my child?" The woman shouted with all her strength to grab the leader. And in the whole street, there are such noises everywhere. The whole Yan is arresting people, just to gather the number of people.

"Mother, let me go. If you don't let me go, I will kill you." The leader felt that the woman was particularly annoying.

"Kill, I can't live anymore." The woman simply decided to force her to die.

"Mother, you think I dare not." The leader would take a flintlock pistol and open the door to shoot the woman.

"Head, you can't kill it." A little soldier with a close look saw that the woman was still a little more attractive. The ancients married and had children relatively early. The woman is naturally not old at this age. The little soldiers are still in the army, plus those officials who have nothing to do, naturally they can learn some bad things.

"Head, we might as well..." the little soldier said with a smirk.

"Okay, okay. I just want to diarrhea, too." The leader said with a smirk.

"Head, this matter must be kept secret." The soldier looked at the woman and said.

"Yes, yes." As the leader said, he became serious.

"Death, death is not so easy." The leader said suddenly.

"Come here, take this woman down with me." As a group of soldiers swarmed up, they had already taken a fancy to the woman's appearance, and they would inevitably do something wrong when they were tied up.

In this way, Yan Jun barely made up enough numbers in the extreme time. And this wave of catching people has stopped. King Yan has no interest in watching his army at all. He just wanted to defeat Qi Jun. Immediately, this hastily pieced together "army" went on the road to fight without any review. This gave the general a sigh of relief. Because he really can't produce decent things to show the combat effectiveness of the army.

But now I finally passed a level. In this way, this special army of cannon fodder caught temporarily, deaf, dumb, idiot, peasants who don't know anything, some innocent Yandu people, and the women who were captured with them formed a special army and set off on the road.

Some of them also wore military uniforms, and those caught from behind were sent directly to the battlefield without clothes. In order to prevent some of them from escaping, this army was chained to the battlefield. This is probably the first time an army has been **** on the battlefield.
