Chapter 944

"Lord Zhangsun, I must thank you for the last matter!

If it weren't for you coming forward to help us hide our identities. Our matter of buying land and growing grain in Great Tang might have been investigated thoroughly by Fang Xuanling!" Zhangsun Wuji stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

"Hahahaha! General Jin, you brought the remaining forces of Goguryeo into the territory of Great Tang to cultivate.

How could you make the Emperor of our Great Tang feel at ease?

Helping you is also helping myself.

Have you brought the shipbuilding artisans you promised this time?"

General Jin touched his belly and also laughed along.

"Brought them, brought them, how could I dare to be sloppy about things promised to Lord Zhangsun?

I didn't dare to bring too many at once, just a mere fifteen hundred people!"

Fifteen hundred people?

Zhangsun Wuji was so happy that his eyes were left with only a wrinkled slit.

"Good! General Jin acts decisively and refreshingly; perhaps we will have more cooperation in the future!"

It turned out that the Great Qin Embroidered Uniform Guard had long been prepared.

When buying land in Great Tang, they had thought about how to solve it if the matter was exposed?

This was one of the plans.

This General Jin was a real Goguryeo person who was absorbed into the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

He found Zhangsun Wuji and said he was a Goguryeo noble.

Goguryeo was destroyed by Great Qin, and he took some people and part of his family property to flee to Great Tang.

He hoped to get Zhangsun Wuji's protection.

Of course, the money given to Zhangsun Wuji was also very appropriate.

So, when Fang Xuanling investigated, Zhangsun Wuji took on that matter.

But in Zhangsun Wuji's eyes, it wasn't just about money.

This time building large ships, he heard that General Jin's subordinates had artisans skilled in building sea ships.

So he let General Jin contribute a batch of artisans to help him build ships.

Great Tang's shipbuilding artisans could also build large ships. The largest tower ships could carry eight hundred people and had fierce combat power!

Unfortunately, these ships couldn't go to sea. The center of gravity was too high, and if they encountered wind and waves at sea, they would capsize.

River ships and sea ships were different.

Upon receiving Zhangsun Wuji's request for help, General Jin agreed to the matter in one breath.

Zhangsun Wuji didn't know yet that they were the forces of the Great Qin Embroidered Uniform Guard. He only thought they were old Goguryeo nobles.

He had many ideas and even wanted to use General Jin to cause trouble in Liaodong.

But those were things for later.

"General Jin, are you interested in taking this opportunity to form a navy with me?"

"Form a navy?"

General Jin was caught off guard, not expecting such a big surprise waiting for him.

Zhangsun Wuji was really too generous!

"Of course I'm willing!

Our Goguryeo has perished, and we no longer have the strength to counterattack Great Qin.

If I can use Lord Zhangsun's strength to reorganize the army, I couldn't ask for more!"

Zhangsun Wuji smiled proudly.

He knew that after he threw out this condition, General Jin would definitely not be able to resist the temptation.

For a general of a perished country, what could attract him more than an army?

He could only obediently hand over the resources in his hands bit by bit.

In the end, he would become a thug under Zhangsun Wuji!

"Since General Jin agrees, then things are easy to handle.

I will arrange a batch of warships for you first to transport prisoners of war to Tianzhu.

You look for opportunities to quickly absorb soldiers during this process and form an army.

Along the way, you can attack some barbarian common people to let the soldiers practice, and by the way, let them make a little money to gather people's hearts!"

Zhangsun Wuji's scheme was truly shameless enough.

It sounded good, saying it was forming a navy.

In reality, wasn't it forming a pirate team?

No wonder he didn't dare to use his own people!

General Jin cursed Zhangsun Wuji for being shameless in his heart while laughing and pretending to be flattered, obeying Zhangsun Wuji's every word.

A round of fooling made Zhangsun Wuji very happy.

Zhangsun Wuji really thought he had found an obedient and easy-to-use thug.

"General Jin, if this matter is done.

In the next step, I will get you an identity as a regular Great Tang army and find you an excellent base so you can develop your forces with peace of mind!"

Yo!

General Jin was shocked by Zhangsun Wuji's big move.

It seemed that this Zhangsun Wuji was truly a big shot who could cover the sky with one hand in Great Tang!

Pirates turning regular!

Independent base!

Such things that were very difficult to handle elsewhere were so easily promised to him by Zhangsun Wuji!

This was a great thing!

General Jin was previously just a hundred-household in the Embroidered Uniform Guard. This time he was responsible for investing in land and grain in Jiangnan, and he had just been promoted to a thousand-household.

If he developed according to Zhangsun Wuji's plan and successfully formed an army that bore the name of the Great Tang Navy but was actually loyal to Great Qin.

This would be another great achievement!

When he returned to Chang'an, he might even be promoted to a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

By then, he would become the second-in-command of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, second only to Yu Huatian!

This promotion speed made people feel itchy in their hearts.

"Lord Zhangsun, just give the order, and I will definitely handle it exactly according to your wishes.

(Zhao le Zhao) This newly formed navy will only be loyal to Lord Zhangsun alone!"

Zhangsun Wuji smiled very satisfactorily.

"General Jin is indeed smarter than others; I didn't misjudge you.

I'll give you ten days to mobilize all the manpower you need.

Then, we'll start doing big things!"

Good fellow!

Ten days!

Time was very tight!

General Jin had to hurry back to Jin Ling to hand over the land and grain business to someone else.

This major event also had to be reported to the Embroidered Uniform Guard Commander, Yu Huatian.

"Lord Zhangsun, then I will set off immediately and return to Jin Ling to make arrangements.

In addition, I have an ancestral gold-inlaid jade Buddha at home. I will bring it back this time to honor you!"

Knows how to handle things!

Zhangsun Wuji now found General Jin more and more pleasing to the eye.

Perhaps, if this person was really easy to use, he could also hand over the Liaodong matter to him in the future!
