The vast expanse of the sea carries countless people's fantasies, either dreams and beauty, or fear and panic.
But since ancient times, the sea has never changed its openness to all rivers because of anyone.
The ocean with snow-white waves has always been watching the Spring River quietly on the night of the flower moon.
Countless people came and went, silently. .
On the vast ocean, islands are scattered like pearls on the endless blue.
Among the waves of the vast East China Sea, a crescent moon lies quietly in the embrace of the ocean.
Li Kuan stood on the beach at the seaside, watching the ships coming and going, with endless sadness in his heart.
Although he knew that he would arrive here sooner or later, he did not expect to arrive here like this.
This was the worst situation he expected.
I'm afraid no one would have thought that he would abandon everything he had before and bring only such a fortune to this small island in the East China Sea.
Looking back on the past, Li Kuan himself felt extremely ridiculous.
He had a lot of influence in the Tang Dynasty.
High prestige, especially among the military, also has great influence.
Jiuxianju can be said to be all over the Tang Dynasty now, and it also has a golden finger that no one knows about.
With such favorable conditions, it is really speechless for Jun to get to this point.
But when Li Kuan thought about it carefully, he felt that even if another miracle happened in the world, if he returned to the original moment, his choice would probably still be the same.
These things are determined by his character.
He is not a person who achieves great things.
He is not nostalgic for power.
He is not an unfeeling person.
He cannot give up on many people and many things.
He is also not a person with lofty aspirations.
People will not do it for the so-called righteousness.
This makes it easier to intentionally harm others.
So when it's time for him to make a decision, he will be very indecisive.
He even made many decisions that everyone thought were stupid, but he had no regrets.
In other words, even if you regret it in your heart, you will still stick to your original decision if you make the same choice again.
Because of this character, he let go of his favorite sister's hand and watched her become the wife of Changsun Chong, whom she didn't really like.
Because of this character, he gave up the hope of ascending to the supreme position.
With this character, he would huddle on this small island.
It's not like leading a million troops across this vast sea.
Because he sticks to the bottom lines in his heart.
"Woo woo" a long trumpet sounded, which was the return of ships going to sea.
Since Li Kuan came to this Crescent Island, countless ships flying the Crescent flag have set off from this island, loading Carrying countless goods, he went to various coastal states and counties in Datang to carry out the same task of recruiting people, because there were too few people on Crescent Island.
Even if Li Kuan brought a lot of people this time, so many people are enough for an island, but for what Li Kuan is planning to do.
These people are just a drop in the bucket.
What can a few thousand people do?
And most of them are old, weak, women and children, the young and strong who can really come in handy.
But twenty-three out of ten.
Calculated in this way, there are only more than a thousand people who can be of great use.
Far from meeting Li Kuan's expectations.
So Li Kuan spent some money to let the hidden school that had already been settled on the island go to the Tang Dynasty to recruit people.
He wanted to train a powerful naval force on this deserted island.
The ship docked, and young men walked out of the cabin one by one.
Their faces were slightly ugly.

When the Crescent Chamber of Commerce came to their hometown to recruit people, for various reasons they boarded the ship of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce, but no one was there.
I thought that I would be brought here.
Just the time spent drifting on the sea almost made them collapse.
Thinking of their homeland that was gradually far away, countless people's eyes turned slightly red.
When they arrived at the final destination, they discovered that what they thought in their hearts was different from reality.
Very different.
At first they thought they would become a member of the giant Crescent Chamber of Commerce, perhaps a sailor on a ship, or a waiter at a store of the Crescent Chamber of Commerce somewhere in the Tang Dynasty.
But when they saw this island on the vast sea, they realized that all their previous imaginations were wrong.
On such a small island, there was the headquarters of a chamber of commerce.
At this moment, everyone flashed in their minds.
After thinking about it, these people were slave-catching teams of some shady forces.
In order to capture slaves, they went to work as coolies in their dark workshops.
But when I thought about it, I felt something was wrong, because although the Crescent Chamber of Commerce has not been around for a long time, in the past two years, this chamber of commerce has been extremely fair in doing business.
They come from countless places and are on these ships.
Chatting with each other can also learn some information about each other.
They found that this chamber of commerce is powerful and powerful.
I'm afraid, from Tiannan to Haibei, this chamber of commerce has its footprints all over the coastal areas of Datang, but the goods they sell are actually the same price in these areas.
For example, this chamber of commerce sells the most grain, no matter where it is shipped to.
The Anbei Protectorate in the north and the distant Guangdong and Guangxi regions have no price difference at all.
In the north where food is extremely scarce, it sells for three cents per dou, but in Guangdong and Guangxi, where crops are harvested three times a year, it is also three cents per dou.
This is a harsh and fair price, which makes all the young people who learned about this on the boat They all felt incredible.
Are these people not prepared to make money?
But if they don’t make money, why should they open a chamber of commerce?
They can just be good people and pave roads and build bridges.
Although they couldn't figure it out, these young men still got off the boat and walked to the golden beach.
After they all got off the boat, the boat behind them just went in, leaving hundreds of people in the boat directly on the beach. superior.
"Now, gather together."
The sun was shining all over this beach.
On the golden beach, these young men who had just disembarked from the boat were curiously looking at this small island.
At this moment, a group of statues in armor appeared.
They were soldiers-like people, holding long spears shining with cold light in their hands.
They quickly ran out from the woods deep in the island.
Each of them pointed their spears at the sky, and then a soldier at the front of the line He came in front of everyone and shouted loudly.
The newly arrived young man was still confused at this time, not knowing what kind of future he was about to face, but after hearing this command with a commanding tone, everyone subconsciously started to act according to the command, one by one.
Although they were not in formation, they quickly gathered together.
"Perhaps you are wondering why you were brought here.
The answer will be revealed to you now.
You are very lucky.
You will soon become the most powerful naval force in the Tang Dynasty.
You will span this endless sea and make countless barbarians surrender.
Under our swords.
This is a supreme honor.
I hope you will continue to work hard in the following training and become a qualified navy soldier who will contribute your strength to our mighty Tang Dynasty across the world."
Said to these people.
"How is it possible?"

These young men who had just got off the boat and had just regained their consciousness were stunned by the news.
When did the Tang Dynasty establish such a navy on the sea?
And the navy of the Tang Dynasty was not in the south.
The Donghai Navy in the sea area, and the Liaodong Navy that was established to blockade Goryeo.
As the people living by the sea, they have no regard for the navy.
I am still very familiar with it.
The Tang Dynasty did not attach great importance to the development of the navy.
This is because the Chinese nation has been a farming nation since its ancestors drank hair and drank blood in ancient times.
The pieces of land that look like chess games are where this nation flows.
The most fundamental thing in blood is the sea, and the Chinese people who are used to being down-to-earth still don't have much extravagant expectations.
Therefore, most of the navy of the Tang Dynasty was only in the rivers, attacking the water thieves who were harming one side, and never thought of establishing a powerful navy on this vast sea.
This is what everyone from the emperor to the common people thought.
This sea is full of water.
What's there to fight for?
You can't grow food on it.
"That's right, what kind of navy?
Their ships are not as good as the merchant ships we just boarded.
Moreover, our Tang Dynasty's warships overturned all the ships in the sea with a slightly bigger wind and wave, and returned the navy."
Countless Qing Dynasty As Zhuang discussed with each other, their faces all turned pale.
Because if they really become a navy this time, they may die on the sea at any time.
They are playing with their lives.
Thinking of this, everyone's face turns pale.
"Why, are you all cowards for being afraid?
Although the sea is scary, no man with a seed on his crotch dares to conquer the sea."
The soldier saw everyone's expressions change, and he immediately knew what these people were thinking. .
"Can I quit?"
A young man, not very old, asked softly in the queue.
"You can't quit.
We're already here, so you have no choice.
But later, you will change your current mind."
The soldier answered the young man's question in a cold voice, and said something that was a bit confusing.
"Let's go."
Other soldiers stepped forward at this time and drove the new arrivals in one direction.
There is something there that makes these people change their minds.
The shouts of "Huha Huha" came from afar, and you could hear them in your ears even though they were so far away.
They rushed towards your face with a kind of vigorous power.
At this moment, people felt in their hearts.
There is an unspeakable throbbing.
It seemed that all the cells in the body were invigorating with the shouts, and everyone's faces started to turn blood red with this strong aura.
That was the curiosity deep in their hearts.
In craving.
After turning the corner and climbing up the lush low mountain, a broad field of vision appeared in front of everyone.
The scene in front of them completely shocked them
