Chapter 1357 Wu Laoqi's Nightmare
"What a joke, we will use our lives to kill us." Wu Laoqi said frowningly.
"There are still 300,000 reinforcements in the Hexi Corridor, and now they should have set off to Tubo." Wang Xuance whispered: "That 300,000 army, General Xue, is intended to use the Roman army in the rear. We can use our current troops to hold on for a while. You are also relieved that we have not been idle for so many years, and the firearms are much more sophisticated, and there is no chance of winning against Dashi."
"We caught an old man." Wu Laoqi pointed to an old man in India and said, "He was the former minister of India, and he was also one of the envoys who worshipped him back then. He knew some Guanzhong dialects and could let him lead the way. We went around the rear to invade Dashi."
"But we don't have firearms." Wang Xuance also said.
"I have it!" Wu Laoqi grinned and pointed to the cannons, some gunpowder and grenades that were moved from the ship. "When Mr. Gu handed me the ship, he had these firearms. I used them as treasures over the years, for fear that they would be broken, so I didn't use them forever. Now it can finally come in handy."
Wang Xuance looked at these firearms, which were all left by the Tang Dynasty a few years ago, and were much worse than those used in the military today.
Looking at Wu Laoqi and the people around him, Wang Xuance whispered: "I heard that there were bandits on the sea and attacked Goguryeo, so that Goguryeo's sea boats dared not go out to sea. At first, I felt strange how these pirates had firearms. Many people suspected Gu Houye, but this matter was left unresolved when it came to the court."
Listening to his inferences, the smile on Wu Laoqi's face became stronger and stronger.
"I wonder why the court did not pursue it. I think you were the bandits at that time. Why did the court fail to settle it because you are Gu Qing's people? Gu Qing asked you to be on the sea to raise the bandits and to dominate the sea power for the Tang Dynasty."
"General Wang is smart." Wu Laoqi bowed and said.
"This time you were ordered by Gu Qing to come to Tianzhu first to open a waterway for the fleet behind you. So when you saw me, you did not say that you were from the Hai Trade Department, but that you were from Gu Qing."
"General Wang guessed it well, that's exactly what it is." Wu Laoqi said, sitting on a stone on the coast, "Since you know my bottom, we can't tell you, in fact, I am a bandit. This time, in addition to coming to Tianzhu to help Gu Houye open the way, I also plan to rob Tianzhu. In this place where the Tang Dynasty cannot control, I guess General Wang will not interfere."
Everything makes sense, and Wang Xuance also said: "I won't interfere in your affairs. No matter what you want to do, I just want your firearm."
"Hahaha." Wu Laoqi smiled, "It's so good."
After the two sides discussed, they each rested. Wu Laoqi came to his brothers and whispered: "After arriving at the palace in India, the brothers saw something valuable, but did they hear it if they could not touch the old, weak, and women and children here could not touch it?"
"I understand." Wu Laoqi's brothers nodded and agreed in a low voice.
Looking back at Wang Xuance, Wu Laoqi continued, "After taking you to the palace of Tianzhu, that old guy will temporarily let him be the king of Tianzhu. I will follow Wang Xuance and stay in the army all the time. Wang Xuance has already said that this battle is so good and you can get as much as you can. I will follow Wang Xuance, brothers! You have been following me for so long, Wu Laoqi is sorry, brothers, brothers, I haven't lived a good life with me over the years."
Looking at the expressions of the brothers, Wu Laoqi said, "When I arrive at the palace in India, I will follow Wang Xuance. Even if I die, I will die on the battlefield. If I can go back, I will go to Chang'an to see Gu Qing again. I want to tell Gu Qing that Wu Laoqi is also a strong man. Brothers don't have to work hard in the future. After making a fortune, I live the life you want."
After hearing Wu Laoqi say that the brothers calmed down and stopped talking, they all had their own ideas.
Wu Laoqi lay on the beach, looking at the stars in the night sky. This time, he must stand upright in front of Gu Qing. He was imprisoned by Gu Qing for so many years. After walking out of the sun, he felt that he was everywhere in Gu Qing's palm. Even if he went out to sea, he felt that Gu Qing could take his life at any time.
Whenever I have nightmares, I dream of the dark dungeon, the dungeon that makes me worse than death. What I fear most is that those who guard me leave. There is no sound for several days in a row, and I can't see the light as if I'm blind or deaf. That bone-bending loneliness almost drives me crazy, and I even have doubts whether I'm dead.
Only when I am hungry and sleepy will I realize that I am still alive, and I will fumble to find food at the door of the cell to fill my stomach. I was really afraid of death in those days, but Gu Qing seemed to not let me starve to death. Every time I gave me a lot of food and water.
If you can see Gu Qing alive this time, you must stand in front of him and tell him that I, Wu Laoqi, don’t be afraid of you Gu Qing anymore, you have already used me.
Perhaps at that time, he can get real freedom, and Gu Qing will never become his nightmare again, and will never appear in his nightmare again.
It is said that the Sea Trade Department was chaired by Li Zhi, King of Jin, but at the beginning, there were many people from Gu Qing. Almost all the old boatmen who went out to sea were trained by the Qing Gang at the beginning, and these people almost controlled the entire Sea Trade.
It would be no exaggeration to say that it was a hand covering the sky. Wu Laoqi knew better that he had already seen it clearly when he was in Japan.
The interests of the Maritime Trade Department are divided into four parts. These interests seem to be in the open and actually have been divided into any bite secretly. The four layers of powerful people, Gu Qing, royalty, and retail investors form a huge network of interests.
Needless to say, the powerful and retail investors have reached certain agreements. Gu Qing and the Royal Reality have reached a certain agreement. There are many places where mining in Japan that have royal spies. I am afraid that even Li Chengqian, who is in power today, has no idea about this. Gu Qing and Li Shimin have long divided the meat.
It is not known when the ships in the East China Sea can reach Tianzhu. The rear of Tianzhu must be settled first, and at least a place to be opened for repairing the fleet. The coastline of Tianzhu is the key to winning or losing this battle.
Wu Laoqi painted his location. The two armies should now face off against each other on the border between Tubo and Tianzhu. If there are tens of thousands of soldiers with firearms, they can be caught off guard without any precautions from Dashi and Ben.
