Zhou Baotong looked at the shore of Bafu, which had become a sea of fire in front of him, and was silent, while Wang Dazhui behind him took out his two big hammers.

"Big brother, it's time for us to appear, right?" Wang Dazhui looked at Zhou Baotong and asked.

"Don't worry, let the fire burn for a while, we're on the field!" Zhou Baotong said to Wang Dazhu.

Wang Dazhui nodded: "Big brother, after we have landed on the battlefield and plundered the supplies, you have to give me more money!" ”

After all, Wang Dazhui is a pirate, and Zhou Baotong's subordinates, although some of them are very conscious and integrated into the system of Qi State, but there are also some of them, their gangsterism is still there, this kind of person, they continue to follow their freedom on the sea, but they are also under the jurisdiction of Qi State, but Qi State generally does not manage them.

They don't have much interest in official positions and power, they pursue money and freedom, and with money they can drink good wine and get beautiful women.

Although they can still get these things if they are powerful, they also know that if they are completely integrated into the system of the Qi State, then they will lack some freedom.

And what Qi Xiaobai values in his heart is the essence of their pursuit of freedom, because only this kind of person can open up overseas territories for Qi Xiaobai and him.

These people who enter the constitution are very good at internal affairs, but they are a little weak when it comes to external affairs, expansion, and plunder.

Because they are bound by something, they can't expand something, and of course when you reach the pinnacle of power, this shackle will slowly decrease.

But there are so many people in the entire Qi country, how many people can be at the top of the Qi country? How many people can be untethered?

Even Guan Zhong, who began to be called the middle father by Qi Xiaobai, was also restrained at this time, after Qi Xiaobai ascended the throne, he should have been the first minister of Qi State, but Qi Xiaobai learned the art of balance from him, and instead used it on his body, using Zhang Tianshang and Tian Dan to restrain Guan Zhong's power.

In the country of Qi, the only one who is really free is the Shanghai Legion in the name of Zhou Baotong, although their status in the country of Qi is not high, not as good as the Yanzhou Legion on the edge of the capital of the State of Qi, it is the standing army with the highest status in the State of Qi, and it is not as good as the special legion of the State of Qi, and their treatment is not as good as that of the two major legions of Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

But they were the freest, they were not too constrained by the central government of Qi, and the Qi state united with the merchants, giving them money to conquer in territories outside the empire.

Only in exceptional circumstances will they be transferred to Qi China.

As for other legions, although they enjoy high treatment, they have always been sent by the central government of Qi State, but this legion under Zhou Baotong is not.

Although Zhou Baotong was arranged by Qi Xiaobai to the northern grassland, most of his legion was born as pirates, and the sea of Qi still needed to be managed, and his subordinates did not follow him into the inland, so he gradually had no contact with Zhou Baotong, although it was called the legion under Zhou Baotong, in fact, it had gradually been nominalized.

Instead, they still live the life of an emperor on the sea, they can freely attack the ships of countries other than Qi, and the looted materials are still their own, of course, they only need to pay some protection money to Qi.

Of course, if there are people who are willing to give up this free life, they can choose to enter the system of Qi State, and many of Zhou Baotong's subordinates did choose to enter the inland because they got married.

And the small leaders, such as Liu Xing, gradually have the meaning of becoming independent of Zhou Baotong's group.

This time, Kuang Zhang asked for help from Zhou Baotong, and Zhou Baotong gathered his sea army again at this time.

Because of the increasing overseas expansion of the Qi State, and to protect the sea route between the Dongyi Island State and Goguryeo, the merchants of the Qi State gave this maritime legion a higher military budget, and of course, the central government of the Qi State also increased its military expenses, and their equipment became very luxurious.

At the beginning, the maritime legions, which were still cloth, were all wearing white water suits with chain mail protection inside.

And the quality of the weapons in the hands is also quite good, and this army is not inferior to the samurai army in terms of equipment.

Of course, on the whole, it can't be compared with the samurai legions, after all, they are bandits, and they are uninhibited and free by nature, so they can only make up for it by fighting in groups and fighting with other land legions after landing.

Zhou Baotong looked at the legion he formed, and he was also very emotional in his heart, the people of this legion called him big brother, but Zhou Baotong knew that it was impossible to completely control this legion.

Because this group of people is the same as him, they are all bandits, they are mothers if they have milk, they are pursuing freedom, and what they want is money, and now the central government of Qi and merchants have given them equipment and money, and they have also given them the qualifications to plunder permission, even if it is legal to rob.

It can be said that Qi is their real master, and Zhou Baotong is no longer the same, before the reform of Qi State, when there was no maritime expansion, Zhou Baotong took them to rob the seaside of other countries, and the military budget was very weak, so this group of people called Zhou Baotong the eldest brother.

Because Zhou Baotong can bring them money, and now, without Zhou Baotong, they can still get more money, and the small leaders, as long as they do not have the task of escorting merchant ships, can go to loot privately, and they can still bring them a lot of money.

And they have returned to the Central Committee of Qi State, and they have already borne the official name, if they follow Zhou Baotong? I'm afraid that the fame of Guan Feng will be plundered, and there will be no life like this.

This group of bandits is very realistic, which is also the helplessness in Zhou Baotong's heart, but it is also in line with his purpose of being edicted.

Why did Zhou Baotong accept the edict of Qi? Isn't it just to make the lives of the people under your command better? Now this group of people is doing well, and it also meets Zhou Baotong's original wish.

However, Wang Dazhui still respects Zhou Baotong very much from the bottom of his heart, because he has followed Zhou Baotong for a long time and has taken care of him for a long time.

Zhou Baotong looked at Wang Dazhu, and then looked at the soldiers of the fleet behind: "Brothers, today you have fought with me Zhou Baotong, it is still the old rule, you can loot privately, so the materials are all yours!" ”

And at this time, he looked at Zhou Baotong: "Big brother, don't we still have to give Qi Guo ten percent of the profits?" ”

Zhou Baotong laughed: "No, this time we are fighting for the Qi country, not looting privately, so we don't have to hand it over, this is the reward that the Qi country should give us!" ”

After hearing Zhou Baotong's words, the soldiers all shouted: "Long live the eldest brother1"

Having milk is a mother, a very realistic thing, he looked ahead: "It's almost, the boat is close to the sea, ready to land!" ”

Wang Da Hammer raised his hammer head: "Brothers, next, let's get off the boat and kill the Quartet, and when the war is over, we will take the money to drink the best wine and enjoy the most beautiful women!" ”

"Roaring ......"
