The next two days went as expected.

Xu Fu began to organize the natives to harass them day and night. However, the Qin warships were huge and without being close to the land, the natives fighting on the sea were unable to deal an effective blow to the Qin side. On the contrary, the natives suffered heavy losses.

As for the old Qin people stranded here? Just kidding, they are nobles now, how could they die in canoes and small boats?

Ten warships of Great Qin lay across the sea, and ten warships patrolled the sea, and indeed found some ships trying to escape.

But Jing doesn't care about this. Going out to sea in a small boat and canoe can be said to have a narrow escape. His main purpose is to put pressure on them.

Two days later, the atmosphere became increasingly anxious...

A few indigenous people are still launching suicide attacks like dumplings.

As for the stranded Qin people who were regarded as elites by Xu Fu, they stayed on the shore to confront each other to prevent Qin from suddenly seizing the beach and landing.

In two days... Da Qin didn't do much.

Just anchored above the sea...

There was no communication, as if they didn't care about any of their actions.

Because of this, the atmosphere inside Fuso became more and more anxious. Da Qin was not in a hurry to land on the beach, but they were in a hurry. They became more and more certain that these twenty warships were Da Qin's advance fleet.

Some people have already begun to try to escape on their own. Fuso is so big that Da Qin's twenty ships cannot completely control the nearby waters. As long as the target is not very conspicuous, escaping from Fuso is not difficult.

Although abandoning the property, land, and escaping with slaves in small boats would mean a narrow escape for them, in the eyes of most people, when the Qin army came to Fusang, it would be a narrow escape.

As a result... Xu Fu's civil and military officials were visibly reduced.

People's hearts are in turmoil, and everyone is different.

"His Majesty……"

"Run..."

Xu Fuku was sitting on the throne, looking at the civil and military officials who persuaded him to transfer, with an expressionless face.

Xu Fu was not a fool. He knew that his civil and military officials had no fighting spirit. Even Xu Fu didn't know how to resist the Qin that suddenly came here.

He dared to coax the First Emperor to go to sea and found a country... which was essentially a gamble.

Bet that the First Emperor could not find where he was, and bet that the First Emperor would not focus on him.

But he made a wrong bet...

The First Emperor not only found him, but also cast his gaze over. When he met the tyrant's gaze, Xu Fu knew that he had no room for resistance.

Xu Fu knew very well that his civil and military officials were not willing to live and die with him.

The reason why they have not betrayed themselves yet is because they are afraid of the First Emperor.

Like Xu Fu, they were traitors, and they were not willing to give up their wealth, land, and status as masters.

They are now grasshoppers on the same rope as Xu Fu. They both prosper and suffer.

They need Xu Fu to lead them to survive, and Xu Fu also needs to use them to win a chance for themselves.

Yes! Not only would the tyrant Shi Huang not let Xu Fu go, he would also not let go of every Qin person stranded here.

Xu Fu believed that the tyrant would do this.

He knew very well that Ying Zheng would not allow anyone to disobey his will or disobey his instructions.

But... Great Qin responds to all changes with stability. The current Great Qin has made it clear that it is waiting for follow-up troop reinforcements, and all the sea ships have been demolished by Xu Fu. Currently, Fuso has no maritime combat capabilities at all. Now Xu Fu has no manpower, but it is like A trapped beast in a cage.

In order to prevent Zhao Si's story from repeating itself, the ship he dismantled became his own tomb.

In this situation where there is no life left, panic and uneasiness begin to spread, and fear grows.

Xu Fu knew that at this time, he needed to calm people's hearts, and at least ensure that they and he were on a united front.

At the very least, we want to prevent them from turning to Great Qin out of fear.

Xu Fu started his old business!

cajole!

In other words, Xu Fu took it for granted that Qin Shihuang would not let any betrayer go.

Maybe this isn't cheating? In short, because the First Emperor was cruel and would not let any betrayer go, although people were panicked, Xu Fu still maintained his dominance. After a slight internal purge, everyone now has a unified goal.

Find a way to force Da Qin back, huddle together for warmth, and run away before Da Qin's large army arrives.

As for how to push back Da Qin's twenty warships without sea ships, Xu Fu had no plan.

He was not a qualified leader to begin with. He was only able to become the emperor because he was a short general. He was never a famous general, nor was he an expert in governing the country. It was not easy for him to be able to imitate cats and imitate tigers. To reach the point where he is now is extremely difficult.

"It's almost time!"

After repelling the harassment of the natives again, Jing raised his head and looked at the sky.

"Sail the boat to the shore!"

Twenty sea ships easily ran over the defense line formed by the indigenous people.

In two days, the natives sacrificed no less than 2,000 people because of the attack on Da Qin, while Da Qin suffered no losses at all.

The sea defense line of canoes and small boats and soft bows was weak.

Xu Fu placed armored weapons and elite soldiers on land to prevent Qin from seizing the beach and landing.

The soldiers currently waiting at the port are all old Qin people stranded here.

Their bodies were taller, wearing scattered armor and damaged weapons...

When the civilizations of the era settled in Fuso, the two merged with each other, and there was also a certain degree of civilization regression. Most of the armors and weapons originally brought became dilapidated due to expansion.

But this is already the biggest elite Xu Fu can bring to hand.

Each noble had three to five slave auxiliaries, and some even led a team of slaves.

Tens of thousands of people were gathered...

This is Xu Fu's most important land defense line...

"Let's shoot arrows to spread the message..."

Seeing that he was within the range of Qin Nu, Jing spoke according to his original plan.

Just kidding, wouldn’t rushing to land on the beach mean giving up Da Qin’s advantage?

It is not a wise choice to attack more people with fewer people, even if the opponent's equipment is old enough, even if the opponent's combat effectiveness is low enough.

Landing on the beach, giving up all advantages, the opponent only needs to attack half way across, and it can cause effective damage to Da Qin. The people on board are either crew members or disciples of hundreds of schools. Except for a few soldiers, they are all Da Qin. of the elite.

In fact...the total number of serious soldiers on the twenty ships is only three hundred.

There is no way, there are too few ships, and there are too many people to take... Soldiers, who only have a single combat capability, are the least important.

If necessary, both disciples and sailors can act as Qin soldiers and charge into the battle.

To put it bluntly, all the elites that Great Qin could pull out for ocean voyages were on board these twenty ships. It would take a long time to feel distressed if even one of them died.

Under Jing's orders, the crossbows fired in unison.

However, the arrows shot out did not have arrowheads, but only bamboo slips tied to the arrows.

"Wang Ling asked Xu Fu to blame!"

Only seven words...

But this is the word Xu Fu is most afraid of seeing!

Wang Ling asked Xu Fu to blame!

People's hearts were further in chaos... Xu Fu keenly realized that something was wrong, and quickly ordered the destruction of the arrows and bamboo slips shot by Da Qin.

Unfortunately it is too late, the spread of this kind of news cannot be suppressed.

These seven words gave everyone an ambiguous attitude. Is it Xu Fu that your Majesty is questioning? Can we absolve ourselves of our sins and make meritorious deeds?

If they were facing an opponent like Da Qin, they would no longer be able to think about their wealth, land and slaves, and living would become their last extravagant hope.

"Okay...play the music and sing!"

Jing clapped his hands.

The war drums sounded, and the songs of more than two thousand old Qin people floated over the vast sea.

It's not a war song, it's just a folk song that is widely circulated throughout the Central Plains.

They seemed to be having a big party, with thousands of people singing together. After singing one song, they started singing the next one, day and night.

If they shoot an arrow to pass a message, it will give them a glimmer of hope.

Then Qin Ge from all directions awakened their long-lost homesickness.

Who... really wants to bury their bones in a foreign country, far away from home...

In essence, most of this group of people are poor people who were tricked by Xu Fu into staying here.

It's just that although Xu Fu deceived them, he was indeed very kind to them.

They were given power, land, wealth, and slaves, so they gradually recognized Xu Fu's rule and began to take the initiative to eliminate their nostalgia.

But now that Great Qin's warships have arrived, they realize at this moment that their power, land, wealth, and slaves will all disappear with the arrival of Great Qin.

They only have two options.

Either fight back and use the mantis as a chariot.

Either abandon everything, go to sea in a small boat, and narrowly escape death.

They begged and begged, but they couldn't keep their power, land, wealth, or slaves. They just wanted to survive.

Da Qin... seems willing to give them this opportunity?

The strategic alliance reached by Xu Fu through deception was disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

What accelerated all this was Jing's arrival by boat!

Jing has one man and one boat, holding high the Black Water Black Bird flag of Great Qin in one hand and the imperial edict in the other!

Whoosh whoosh!

The arrow landed in front of Jing's boat... As he moved forward, Jing was about to reach the opponent's shooting range.

"Shoot him!" Xu Fu ordered!

The loyal natives drew their bows and nocked arrows, but before the arrows could fly, Xu Fu was already surrounded by his civil and military officials.

"Your Majesty, please give the order to withdraw the troops!"

"There is only one other person!"

"The two armies are fighting, don't kill the envoy!"

Speaking in a deep voice one by one, Xu Fu was keenly aware that things seemed to be out of control.

He wanted to command the indigenous tribes who were loyal to him, but the sword was already placed on his neck.

"Your Majesty, please take back your order!"



The farce on the shore did not affect Jing's progress. He didn't even pause!

From a distance, there were natives shooting arrows secretly.

The closer you go, the fewer arrows you get!

Until the end, all the natives who dared to hold up their bows and arrows had been killed.

A lonely boat, alone, a black water black bird flag, an imperial edict!

From approaching to landing, Fuso has experienced a major coup and merger.

Jing stood on the shore, waved one arm, and planted the flag on the ground.

The flag of the Black Water Black Bird of the Qin Dynasty was floating quietly on the island called Fusang.

However... the swords and weapons were still facing Jing. Although Xu Fu had been restrained, he was not dead. Xu Fu's "loyal" civil and military officials still maintained a high degree of vigilance and did not dare to step forward.

They were prepared to chop down the thorns immediately if something went wrong!

He was also prepared to accept the situation and immediately offer Xu Fu's head with both hands.

"Me! Jing!"

With a smile on his face, Jing ignored the approaching weapons and approached Xu Fu step by step.

"Brother! Si..."

This name gave the frightened sinners some peace of mind.

Si?

Zhao Si? The kid who took the ship and went to sea? Oh, come to think of it, Jing was the little brat who was with him back then?

Zhao Si... Most people have a good impression of Zhao Si. Even though Zhao Si is very young, it does not prevent him from having a good impression in everyone's hearts.

Jing Zhi didn't hear anything and just said hello as he approached.

"Uncle Wang, you should still remember me, right? The first time I started eating meat was with you." Jing greeted with a smile.

After all, there are only so many Qin people stranded here, and most of them have met each other. These are Xu Fu's foundations, so Xu Fu did not treat him badly. Most of them can survive to this day. Jing can actually read most of them along the way. Familiar faces.

Jing's appearance made their panicked hearts calm down. At least Jing walked out from here.

Jing said hello while approaching Xu Fu's direction.

While Jing continued to build friendships, Xu Fu, whose personal freedom was restricted, also continued to export.

"Ha... do you really think that the King of Qin will only accuse me?" Xu Fu, whose personal freedom was restricted, had a sneer on his face.

"The cruelty of King Qin is famous all over the world. Can you atone for your sins by taking my head?"

Jing frowned and looked at the distance between him and Xu Fu.

Almost...that's the distance!

Jing, who was saying hello with a smile on his face, suddenly stood up, pulled out the Qin sword from his waist, and pierced Xu Fu's chest with the sword.

Xu Fu's face was filled with surprise when the donated blood spurted out, and everyone was in panic...

Swordsmen were placed on Jing's body, but he did not dare to really approach.

"Of course His Majesty will not only blame you!"

"The sinner Xu Fu!"

Jing spat, ignoring the sword placed on him and holding up the imperial edict.

"Your Majesty's decree!"

"Commons, listen up!"

Jing stepped on Xu Fu's chest and pulled out the Qin sword, and blood slid down Jing's dark face.

He held the imperial edict high and stared at everyone.

Everyone was shocked...

Kneel down and listen to the order...

Their only possible bargaining chip for resistance has been killed by Jing Baoqi, leaving them in a leaderless situation.

Jingyou happened to be born as a stranded boy in Fusang, so he had the same roots as them.

Of course, the most important thing is the imperial edict raised by Jing Gao! It represents that person’s will!

First Emperor!

Twenty ships are still lying across the sea...

They were always worried about their own safety... not revenge for Xu Fu.

As for Xu Fu’s die-hard fans? Everyone was already dead in the fire ashore on the Jing Ferry.

(It's a bit anticlimactic... The Fuso War in this era has limited space, so we can't force them to increase their combat power. No more.)
