Dahan Pirate Air Force

The purpose of this plan is to escape from marriage.

It might be a bit of a fuss, but Zhang Bai couldn't accept a bride who showed up halfway.Not only because of Mu Jing, he still retained the habits of his previous life. He felt that he was only 15 years old, how could he get married?

Zhang Bai did not dare to openly object to the engagement due to the possible consequences of regretting the engagement.

However, when Shanyue came here, he had the opportunity to leave Wu Jun for a while, and then naturally delay the time.It wasn't until the September cum porn case broke out and Zhang Wen was imprisoned that things became easier to handle.

At this time, Zhang Bai took the lead and rushed to the island bravely.

When Wu Fen came ashore, all he saw was a group of Shanyue people who had surrendered obediently, including Tu Xia, who acted as the leader of Shanyue.

Wu Fen was overjoyed and immediately ordered these people to be escorted back to Wu County.Zhang Bai took advantage of the situation and made a speech, hoping that he would let these Shanyue people go.It would be better to sell them to him as slaves, and he can pay in silver or grain.

This suggestion was actually a normal phenomenon during the campaign against Yamakoshi, and was very similar to the situation in which the Roman Empire turned prisoners of war into slaves.

The only difference is that the Roman Empire generally implemented a manorial system and slaves had no land at all. However, in the Three Kingdoms era, slaves were in the form of tenant farmers.

Sharecroppers are formally tenants who lease land and are dependent on the clan owner who owns the land. They only have the right to use the land. In fact, they are production slaves without economic freedom.Their personal freedom was also restricted, but they were less whipped and less shackled than Roman slaves.

Therefore, the war against Shanyue was, to a large extent, also a war to plunder external slaves. Zhang Bai's proposal to buy these people was a very common thing.

Wu Fen thought for a while and said: "It doesn't matter. Those Shanyue people only need to visit Wu County and show off their military exploits, and then they can give it to your Zhang family. However, the bandit leader should still be escorted to the capital to build a business and wait for Wu The Lord is down."

Zhang Bai hesitated for a moment, then made a decision immediately: "That's fine, just follow what the governor said."

The two negotiated a price on the spot, and Wu Fen ordered his men to transport the Shanyue people out of Taihu Lake by boat. Zhang Bai personally escorted the Tufiao people, and the boat took the last step.

On the boat, taking advantage of the opportunity that the boat was filled with his own consciousness and no one else, Zhang Bai photographed the real bandit leader Peng Shi and asked him to put on Tu Flea's clothes and replace Tu Flea.

Wu Fen was not familiar with earth fleas, and Peng Shi was confused by the moon realm technique.Anyway, in the witness testimonials, there was only one person who proved that Peng Shi was indeed the bandit leader, but no one could find Tufiao, so this matter was just a matter of course.

A few days later, the messenger from Wu County arrived in Jianye, bringing the good news of the surrender of the entire Taihu Shanyue clan.

People in both places were talking excitedly, and a name was mentioned inadvertently on the streets, Zhang Bai.

......

After Lu Xun escaped from Wu County, he was originally preparing to send troops back to rescue, but the good news suddenly came, which surprised him.

It was originally thought that Wu County's garrison was weak, so this time it had to force the four major surnames to send private troops to defend against the enemy.

As a result, the old governor Wu Fen wiped out Taihu alone, which was really unexpected.

"Okay, great!" Lu Xun said excitedly. He calmed down and took a closer look at the good news again.

In the good news, Zhang Bai's name is very eye-catching.

He helped repel Shanyue's sneak attack at night. During the water battle, he rushed to land first, persuaded the leader of Shanyue to surrender, and recruited thousands of Shanyue people without any bloodshed.

Unexpectedly, this Zhang Bai was brave and resourceful at a young age, and he was a talented person.Fortunately, he was about to get married to the Lu family and could snare him for his own use.

And in this way, Zhang Wen will have the opportunity to return to the court, as long as he finds an excuse.

Lawrence Lu showed a satisfied smile and took a deep breath.

"It would be great if this boy sincerely surrendered to the Kingdom of Wu."

......

On this day, Sun Quan's imperial edict came to the Zhang family.

Announcement: Zhang Bai and Zhang Enpei, a descendant of the Zhang family, escorted the Shanyue bandit leader to Beijing to receive a reward.

On the same day, the news of Jianye came. Sun Quan, the Lord of Wu, was overjoyed when he heard the good news. Zhu Zhi, the governor of Wu County, and Wu Fen, the governor, were both rewarded with acres of land and military positions.Both of them were already marquises and could not be ennobled again, so Sun Quan could only reward them with money and acres of land.

Zhang Bai's entry into Beijing was an unexpected surprise for the Zhang family.

After all, this Sanlang of the Zhang family did not have an official status yet, so no matter what Sun Quan ordered for him, he would be promoted.This is another up-and-coming member of the Zhang family after Zhang Wen.

Therefore, the Zhang family was filled with joy again.

But this imperial edict was also beyond Zhang Bai's expectation. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to request an army from the prefect and the governor, and on the pretext of obtaining the traces of the leader of Shanyue, he sent troops to suppress the bandits. His intention was to escape from marriage.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Sun Quan's imperial edict came, he would go to Jianye.

Of course, in this way, running away from marriage becomes more logical and seems good.

But if I get to Jianye and I am really promoted from an official position, will Wu and Shu fly flags on both sides? Will it cause dissatisfaction between the two countries?

Zhuge Liang wouldn't say anything, but if people like Du Qiong and He Zong knew about it, it would be troublesome.What's more, how should I explain that I suddenly ran from Chengdu to Wu in an instant?

There is also the Wu Kingdom. If news from the Shu Kingdom reaches here, will I be considered a spy to spy on military intelligence?

This is another headache.

However, for the sake of the Zhang family and to meet Sun Quan, Jianye could still go.

The Shanyue people who had taken refuge in Wu State had all been recruited by Zhang Bai.They were divided into two groups based on family units. Those with families, or those whose families relied on men to take care of them, were placed in the Zhang family's manor and became tenant farmers or slaves.

Men who did not need care at home or who had no family were selected and volunteered to form a private army of more than 100 people.

Zhang Bai then led the soldiers and went to Jianye.

Before leaving, Zhang Bai specifically approached Zhou Jun and Zhong Limu and asked them if they were willing to return to Jianye with him, and the two men readily agreed.

Soon, the three of them escorted Peng Shi towards Jianye.

Along the way, Zhang Bai asked Zhou Jun and the other two if there was any place that needed heavenly materials and earthly treasures. He wanted to exchange building wood or moonstone for some spiritual beads or money.

During this period of time, he spent money to support Shanyue and redeem his tenants, plus the large expenses he had spent in Chengdu a few days ago.Only one-third of the silver coins he brought back from West Asia were left, and the rest were turned into silk, grain, property, slaves, and hundreds of dollars of money that could not be used up.

Zhou Jun and Zhong Limu were very surprised when they heard that Zhang Bai had built wood and asked to see it.Zhang Bai had no choice but to take out a relatively small log from the Chongsheng Pagoda Forest for them to see.

Although it is said to be relatively small, the cross-section of this building log is also smaller than that of a car, and its length is about the same as that of a cow. It is actually quite large.

In the eyes of ordinary practitioners, building wood is light and hard, not afraid of gold and iron, and not easy to rot. It is a better weapon material than meteorite iron.It's just that the location of the building wood is hard to find, so it's too precious.A piece of wood the size of a dagger is worth two or three times more than a piece of gold of the same size in the hands of an expert.

Like Zhang Bai, when he took it out, it was a log as thick as a wheel. Don't say you have never seen or heard of such a wealthy man.

Zhou Jun and Zhong Limu immediately identified it carefully, and when they discovered that it was indeed a genuine Jianmu, their eyes almost went straight.

Have you seen the gold that the old man has grown as thick as a tree stump? Just open your eyes!
