"After simple training, they are already able to ride overseas."

"I will use war as training to conquer the pirates."

"Let's forget about the expedition against pirates."

"ah?"

Gu Yuan was stunned for a moment.

During this period he encountered pirates several times.

They are quite rampant.

They even openly robbed fishermen.

As far as he knew, it wasn't just Linzi. Pirates were also wreaking havoc in the seas off Jiaodong and Langya. They had been a serious threat for years, constantly harassing the people along the coast. Some even colluded with the Japanese pirates to plot nefarious activities.

"They are my people," Tian Zhongxun said coldly. "Where else do you think I'll get so much money? There are a lot of dirty jobs I need people to do. Without enough seaports, I have no reason to establish a fleet."

"Your Majesty has great tactics!"

Gu Yuan couldn't help but raise his hand to praise.

He didn't expect Tian Zhongxun to be so cruel.

It turns out that the navy and pirates are all his people!

Tian Zhongxun's face was cold as he waved his sleeves, saying, "I'll let go of the Gongshu family matter this time. You will train the fleet well and keep them under control. If Ning Que makes any move, you must inform me as soon as possible."

"Since he has received assistance from the Gongshu clan, the eastern expedition to Goguryeo can be put on the agenda. Their men will arrive in Jiaodong soon. I will discuss the matter with them and notify you then."

"promise!"

Gu Yuan also nodded in understanding.

He is well aware of his responsibilities.

He also knew that Tian Zhongxun was using him.

He has lost everything.

Even the Gu family had no plans to support him anymore.

He had only one purpose for this Eastern Expedition.

Find an opportunity to die together with Ning Que!

Let him die without a burial place!
