When twenty ships are standing across the sea, the brand new black water blackbird flag is fluttering in the wind!
Xu Fu panicked...
It was not only Xu Fu who was panicked, but also the Qin people who were stranded here with Xu Fu.
After Xu Fu established his foothold in the eastward crossing, he continued to collect the indigenous tribes and made steady progress. The gathering place of the people had already moved from the seaside to the island.
Xu Fu, a simple port, had previously been renovated. After all, there were still hundreds of ships moored here, and there was no telling when it would be used in the future.
Later, after Zhao Si seized the ships and went to sea, Xu Fu ordered all the ships to be dismantled, and this simple port was abandoned. Currently, there are only some small boats docked, and they occasionally engage in fishing.
Therefore, the first person to get the news was not Xu Fu, but the indigenous people fishing here.
"Don't dock yet!"
Jing raised his palm to signal the ship not to dock.
"Xu Fu has been operating here for ten years now. Although the weapons and armor may not be sharp, the manpower is far better than ours after all." Jing explained to Lin Baiyu next to him.
Lin Baiyu is Zou Feng's disciple and can be regarded as Jing's current senior brother.
The ship was lying across the sea, with no intention of docking for the time being. Jing took off the crown on his head and wrapped it in a turban. He quickly leaned along the mast to a high place and looked up.
After watching for a long time, Jingcai jumped down from the mast with a look of deep disappointment on his face.
"How is it? Are there any ships left?" Lin Baiyu asked.
At present, Da Qin's new ship construction still takes time. If Xu Fu can have more ready-made ships here, it can save a lot of time.
"I haven't seen it yet. It seems that when my brother seized the ship and went to sea, Xu Fu was afraid... I'm afraid he had already dismantled all the ships."
At this time, a large number of indigenous people began to gather towards the port.
They hold crude weapons and wear relatively primitive clothes. As for armor? Sorry, I don't have any armor.
In short, their eyes were wandering as they stared at the twenty ships lying across the sea.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Xu Fu received the report from the indigenous people immediately.
After Zhao Si seized the ship and went to sea, Xu Fu realized the flaws of his rule. He also realized that the Qin people who followed him overseas would not dare to return to Qin because of fear of death today, and would abandon him tomorrow for the sake of their lives.
From that time, Xu Fu began to deliberately cultivate indigenous forces loyal to him.
Divide and attack to win over...
Xu Fu's political level is not too high, he is just a magician.
But there is no doubt that he is the one with the highest level of knowledge, culture and status here.
He relied on the Qin people on the ship to continuously annex and annex local indigenous tribes. While distributing slaves, Xu Fu himself was also the largest slave owner.
At present, Xu Fu, in addition to the Qin people, also has tens of thousands of indigenous slaves working for him, and thousands of indigenous soldiers guarding him.
This is the basis of his claim to be emperor.
When the natives reported, Xu Fu realized that something was wrong.
The natives don't know the Black Bird Banner, nor Da Qin. Do they even think this is Xu Fu's companion? Or are these ships subordinate to Xu Fu?
However, Xu Fu felt a strong crisis.
"Zhao Si! You deserve to die!"
Xu Fu kicked the case aside...
The time Zhao Si seized the ship and went to sea ruined a lot of his hard work, and even caused a governance crisis because of Zhao Si's seizure of the ship and went to sea.
The essence of Xu Fu's rule was based on lies. He spent a lot of effort to calm down the negative impact caused by Zhao Si's seizure of ships and going to sea.
After that...the sky is high and the water is far away.
Xu Fu subconsciously thought that Zhao Si would not survive.
Why can he survive?
Although Xu Fu taught these boys knowledge and culture, he never taught them navigation.
These children were less than ten years old when they arrived in Fuso. How could a group of teenage boys overcome the wind and waves and set sail safely without any knowledge of navigation?
Xu Fu took it for granted that they would not survive.
But what he met was an unreasonable idiot. Zhao Si was a time traveler who died in the storm while traveling around the world.
In this era, probably no one knows the ocean better than Zhao Si.
Zhao Si! Survived!
Moreover, he returned to Daqin!
This is the most unacceptable thing for Xu Fu!
Of course, there is a more serious thing waiting for him to face now.
Outside Xu Fu's palace, which resembles a wooden house, a group of people have gathered outside.
Their robes no longer look like those from the Central Plains. At first glance, they look very similar to the traditional Central Plains servants, but if you look closely, you can see that the style has changed.
The clothes they wore looked particularly luxurious compared to the natives, but they also had a sense of humor as if they were dressed like monkeys.
They... are now the nobles under Emperor Xu Fu, the rulers of Fuso, the subjects who followed Xu Fu here and completely forgot about their homeland.
Xu Fu was very kind to them. To be precise, Xu Fu was very kind to every Qin person.
Xu Fu is not a fool. These Qin people are the foundation, and he cannot treat his foundation badly.
After he became the emperor, he vigorously promoted the status of this group of people and put them above the natives. He also tried to find ways for them to start families and establish businesses, allocate slaves to them, and allocate wives and concubines to them.
They were even given the privilege to bully, torture and kill the natives at will, satisfying all of their unsurpassed desires.
Who are the people who board the ship that goes out to sea to seek immortality?
There are craftsmen and soldiers, but in short, their status is not very high.
Xu Fu used interests and rights to win over them. Now, it is unclear whether this group of people are afraid of the king's life or just greedy for enjoyment.
But now... they are panicking.
Because... Da Qin's ships are coming!
The black water bird flag symbolizing the Great Qin was fluttering on the sea, and the name that made them fearful came to their minds again.
First Emperor!
In the beginning, it was this name that frightened them, causing them to abandon their homeland and stay overseas, unable to return to their roots.
And the most terrible thing is that after ten years, this name has once again shrouded the sea.
"His Majesty the Emperor……"
"I want to see the emperor!"
"I want to see His Majesty!"
"Xu Fu! Come out!"
The defending soldiers dispersed the noisy crowd. When the swords were placed on their necks, they were finally willing to calm down and look directly at their Emperor.
"The Qin people's ships are still anchored on the sea, but my sword is on your necks!" Xu Fu's face was gloomy, with a bit of madness between his eyebrows.
"What makes you dare to call me by my first name?" Xu Fu pressed forward step by step and came to the person who called him by his first name.
"After we landed, I gave you fields, slaves, and women to help you settle down and build a family. Even if you broke the law, I never criticized you harshly. Which of your things was not given by me?" Xu Fu took the long sword holder from the soldier's hand. On the other person's neck.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, spare your life..."
Unfortunately, it was too late, the sword in Xu Fu's hand had already penetrated into his throat.
Xu Fu calmly returned the sword to the soldier and then stood still and said: "The King of Qin is unruly and wants to go against heaven and seek the elixir of immortality... Didn't I search for him with all my heart?"
"I will lead you to settle down here, give you peace, enable you to survive, and even become a noble, above everyone else. Am I not good enough to you?"
"Zhao Si seized the ship and went to sea, betrayed us, and attracted King Qin's attention here. Now King Qin is coming to accuse me of not finding the elixir of immortality for him, but can you really be spared?"
"With King Qin's cruel character, will he really let you go?"
Everyone hesitated...
Xu Fu stayed here in order to coax the crew to feel at ease. Objectively speaking, it was really good for them.
At least they were better than King Qin treated them.
Except for helping Xu Fu clean up the natives at first, they later just enjoyed the results.
Their land is cultivated by natives, and there are natives who satisfy their various desires. For people living at the bottom of Da Qin, what if they have the opportunity to be superior to others, even the natives?
They were indeed afraid of the First Emperor.
However, Xu Fu put the problem here again.
If the First Emperor comes to question them, will he really let them go?
"They only have twenty ships and not many men! Put on your armor, pick up your weapons, and go gather the soldiers!"
Everyone was uneasy and dispersed...
Soon, the number of soldiers gathered at the port began to increase. In addition to the natives, there were also a large number of former Daqin people whose clothing style had deviated.
"They're scared..." Jing smiled.
Xu Fu was indeed afraid. Although there were only twenty ships, he knew the strength of the Qin Dynasty. There was a high probability that these twenty ships were just the advance troops of the Qin Dynasty.
Although he calls himself the emperor, he still has the self-awareness he deserves.
The total population under his command now is only a few hundred thousand, of which hundreds of thousands are natives. Those who can barely be called elites can only be counted on two hands.
To put it bluntly, any Qin official thrown over by the Qin State and put on Xu Fu's side are all Wang Zuo's talents.
The population of Xu Fu, the so-called emperor commander, was not even comparable to that of a corner of Qin.
That's the difference between an ant and an elephant!
Therefore, as the emperor here, facing such a huge disparity in the battle, Xu Fu chose to mobilize the whole country and fight in person!
He knew that just Great Qin's Black Water Black Bird flag was enough to make the elites under his command panic and even defect in front of the battle.
He must stand here, with them, so that these people have the courage to raise weapons.
"Pfft..."
Lin Baiyu couldn't help but smile after seeing Xu Fu's gesture.
Xu Fu's driving is imitated by the First Emperor's driving, but it's a pity... there are not enough skilled craftsmen here to reproduce it one to one.
In the eyes of the natives, Xu Fu's pursuit of wealth and honor was impressive, but in the eyes of Lin Baiyu and others, it was extremely funny.
"The imperial commander has personally conquered..." Jing sneered.
"But... I have already anticipated this situation."
Jing remembered that before the trip, Zhao Si analyzed various possible situations at sea for himself extremely seriously.
(No more, a little wilted...)
