Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince: Two hundred and fifty-three strategies to suppress bandits

"Which of you have read books and recognized characters?" Peng Fugui's third son, Peng Xiaochao, who was also a gangster on the sea, asked viciously with his bronzed arms and his eyes widened. The muscles of the strong arm of a snake trembled suddenly, and look like this, if someone in the group of soldiers who had just recruited shouted, "I am a scholar," he would be choked to death.

The four soldiers standing in the first row directly across from him shook their heads timidly, took a step back inadvertently, and quietly wiped the spit stars on their faces.

Peng Xiaochao's gaze swept over the nearly three hundred newly recruited naval forces. Seeing that no one answered, he gave a disappointed "um" and nodded: "It doesn't matter if you don't know words, grandpa...cough cough, Ben I don’t know the officials either. But it’s okay, I’ve heard the term “to help each other in the same boat” without reading a book, right? , Do you have to say that we are in the same boat?"

The recruits recruited from Changle and other places from young and accustomed to water can't help but want to laugh, but the image of Lord Xiao Chao is too fierce, so they shook their heads very cooperatively.

Peng Xiaochao waved his hand and said loudly: "Because only on the water, the lives of all people are connected, and the one that connects your lives is the boat. So when you fight on the water, you must remember that it is not a person, but a boat. !

You young melon pouches who are new to the springboard, I teach you... this official teacher teaches you that it doesn't matter if the water is overflowing. When you are against them, don't be a hero. The helm who should steer, the gunner who steers the gun, the sail who raises the sail, and no matter how lively you play next, it doesn't matter to you. Lord, don't be surprisingly bubbling, who dare to **** me when I'm doing it, I will insert a sprout. "

Peng Xiaochao sometimes speaks mandarin, sometimes arrogant, and he speaks very seriously: "You only have to do two things when you get on the boat, protect our boat, and destroy each other's boat! Even if their shrimps are ten times more than us, they will kill you. There are only a few of you crooked melons and jujubes. As long as you sink his boat and save ours, the ticket will not be for nothing, and the big fish will be caught, understand?"

Peng Xiaochao secretly glanced at the adults who stopped watching not far away. The little white face standing in the front of the python robe and jade belt must be the big boss behind the second boss. Look at this... The second boss will probably be promoted to the boss's wife. Peng Xiaochao muttered secretly, seeing Yang Ling smiling, as if he was very satisfied with his teaching methods, and he became even more show off.

He used the energy he had used to teach new pirates in the past and said viciously, how to fight the opponent when there are many powerful people, how to play yin, how to fight when he is strong, how to beat the opponent and can't turn over, and then just I began to talk tirelessly to these recruits about how the ship-driving, offensive, and defensive supply of munitions would cooperate with each other once the war started.

At this time, two new-style warships on the sea are simulating offense and defense, demonstrating water leakage on the ship’s side and fire on the sails, how the crew performs their duties, repairing blockages, putting out fires, and upgrading new sails, and how the combatants calmly challenge and continue Looking for fighters.

Yang Ling, accompanied by Gu Dayong, Bai Chongchan, Min Wenjian, Peng Fugui and a group of senior marines, watched this lively scene and walked slowly across the warm beach.

The sea breeze slowly brought some smell. The army training on the ground is in full swing, and there are still many seabirds humming and circling in the blue sky.

"Here, the navy generals explain the communication methods such as semaphores and lanterns, as well as how the fleet is deployed and how to support each other. Over the years, the sea has been slack, and the navy has been eating out of money. , And there are many old and weak soldiers, even soldiers who are navy soldiers who are not accustomed to water warfare. Gu Gonggong upholds the holy will, the first thing after coming to Jiangnan is to rectify the navy, tailor the mediocrity, recruit new soldiers, and be strict With training, my Jiangnan naval division will have today's weather. Many generals are newly promoted, so I have to train from the beginning."

Bai Chongchan explained the situation of the navy camp, and then gave a few words of praise to Gu Dayong. Hearing that Gu Dayong was all comfortable, he couldn't help showing a smile of joy.

I have seen Gu Dayong’s “resolute and resolute” Yang Ling, especially Gu Dayong’s current future is closely related to the success of the opening of the sea, and the first key to opening the sea is whether there is a strong navy to ensure the safety of the sea. How can you not work hard to rectify the navy?

"The camp here is mainly composed of naval commanders and generals recruited by Peng Qian who are experienced in naval warfare. They use simulated charts to explain naval battle examples to the navy warships, how to make short-handed connections, and land on the beach. , Preemptive points, and retreat methods."

Yang Ling nodded. He hasn't seen Han Wu yet, so he can't help asking: "Where is Han Wu Han Qian now?"

Bai Chongchan whispered a few words with a navy general next to him, and then replied: "My lord, Han Qian led three warships and led about 500 recruits who have been trained to perform martial arts at sea. Will come back, they are already the sixth batch of soldiers.

According to the order issued by the Ministry of War, the Great Ming naval division should be able to fight in any weather, any place, and any time. So now in fog, rain and night, they have to send ships for trial training exercises. Because the day of the Japanese pirates approaching, the training task of soldiers was tight, and President Han Qian took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the boat out to sea for another military exercise this morning. "

He looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "Today is clear and calm, and the waves are calm. It is suitable for artillery drills. These soldiers, go out and circle around, and won’t panic when they actually fight. They only need to fight a few battles. Became a veteran."

Yang Ling smiled and said: "Yes, what you learn on paper is theory. You have to try it yourself before you can really grasp what you have learned. The Japanese pirates have now reached the coast of Great Ming, and it is estimated that they will start harassing soon.

This is the first battle after the reorganization of my navy. Master Bai must be cautious and must ensure the success of the first battle, otherwise the morale of the veterans who have not fought for a long time and the recruits who have just joined the army will be frustrated, and the future combat power will be greatly reduced. . A coward, even wearing the strongest armor and holding the sharpest weapon, will only be a deserter on the battlefield. "

"Yes, what the lord has said is reasonable. This soldier, it is most important to bring morale. Once the morale is scattered, let you be wise and martial. They only want to flee, and the battle will not be able to fight." Bai Chong praised his head. Tao.

A handsome tent appeared in front of him. Yang Ling stopped and turned his head to look. Cheng Qiyun was holding a small gold fan covering her face with a blush on her cheeks, obviously not adapting to the strong light of the beach.

Cheng Qiyun was inconvenient to appear in red in the barracks, so she wore a man's suit and looked like a handsome scholar. She was not far away from Yang Ling, like an aide, it was not easy to attract the attention of soldiers from a distance.

Yang Ling smiled when he saw it, and turned to the generals and said: "Jiangnan, the opening of the sea and trade matters is done step by step and methodically. This official will report to the emperor one by one, but before opening the sea, we must eliminate the pirates. As mentioned earlier, we must strengthen our navy, otherwise we will wait for the enemy to come, passively respond to the battle, and the sea will be restless, which will ultimately be a puzzle.

You all go thirsty in armor, right? Come on, let's take a break and take a break. This officer will tell you about the situation of mass thieves at sea. Ha ha, Master Bai, do you have top-grade tea? The official is not happy with Wuming Tea. "

Unexpectedly, I asked the beauty of this. Bai Chongzan was originally the governor of the Northwest, and he administers the army very strictly. He never drank alcohol for the sake of military discipline, but this person was addicted to famous tea. The tea he drank was actually a bit more expensive than fine wine.

When I heard that the imperial servant was actually a fellow of good tea, Bai Chong praised and was anxious. hurriedly said: "My lord, please go to the account and rest. Speaking of tea... I am in Jiangnan, how can I not offer famous tea? It’s also a good tea. Xiaguan now treasures West Lake Longjing, Haoding Shihua, Yuye Changchun, Gu Zhu Zisun, Hehuan Mingyue, Qihuo, Beak, Xiaosixian... Which one do adults like to drink?"

Yang Ling laughed and said, "Master Bai is a connoisseur, I can’t do it. Good tea, I taste it, but I can’t remember their names. The official loves to drink..., Xiaocheng, the favorite What kind of tea is this?"

People only heard that Yang Ling was asking people around him "the official favorite tea", but Cheng Qiyun understood that he was asking, "What kind of tea is Xiaocheng's favorite?" ’

She felt sweet at first, but then she was a little bit worried about gains and losses: He... Does he care about me as a woman, or does he treat me as a subordinate who needs to rely on me to be gentle?

Cheng Qiyun stared at Yang Ling, brushed the floor and closed the fan, with shallow dimples on her cheeks and said: "My lord, might as well taste...the bright moon of acacia", when she talked about the bright moon of acacia, the fan handle was in white Ru Suyu's palm deliberately knocked twice.

"The new Qi Wansu is as bright as snow. Cut into acacia fan, reunion is like a bright moon. When you go in and out of your arms, the breeze will be shaken; you are always afraid of the autumn festival, and the coolness will win the heat. Dao Jue."

Cheng Qiyun’s expectations and worries cleverly sent tentative signals to Yang Ling through the four-character "Hehuan Mingyue" and her vivid movements and eyes. It is a pity... It is a pity that Yang Daxiu will only'hoe the noon of the day. '.

I want him to use this implicit reminder, from the tea name to the ancient poem about the beauty with grievances, and then from this poem to experience Cheng Qiyun’s mood, its complexity is far more complex than Yang Ling. Doing business is ten times more difficult.

He said to the generals without knowing it: "Duke Gu, generals, let's go to the collection of Master Pinpin Bai's collection, hahaha, please, please please..."

"Wooden man! Lian'er is right, this **** is really made of wood!" Cheng Qiyun gave him a harsh look, pouting her mouth and following into the big tent.

The middle of the big tent is a sand table. It is piled up with the defenses of the coastal officials in the Zhejiang area, the topography of the sea islands, and several known gatherings of pirates. It is just that the Great Ming military has not paid attention to and carefully explored the topography and landforms. The map is obviously rough, the scale of the map and many subtle places are different.

The curtains before and after the big tent are all raised. In March and April, as long as the sun doesn't come in and the sea breeze blows through the tent, it will be very cool.

Yang Ling and the others drank tea, Bai Chongchan whispered a few words to a general, and the general stood up and clasped his fists: "Sir, the official Hangzhou navy guard Zeng Jianxiong, Mr. Bai, Mr. Chengcheng , And our Zhejiang navy generals have worked out some countermeasures against the robbers entrenched in the sea, and the subordinates will report to the imperial envoys."

Yang Ling said cheerfully: "Master Zeng, please speak."

Zeng guard said: "My lord. We are now going to adopt three methods of luring, surrendering, and encircling and suppressing mass pirates at sea. I just heard that the lord is ready to join forces with the Japanese navy, so the encirclement and suppression efforts can be done. Adjustments should be able to achieve excellent results."

Jointly encircling and suppressing pirates with Japan is actually Yang Ling’s proposal, but it was originally intended that the two countries should fight bandits in their own waters. Now they have to go even further and use joint troops. This is also a precedent for international joint anti-terrorism. It's just that Zeng Defense didn't know that the imperial government's move came from Yang Ling.

Yang Ling thought for a while and said: "Let the officials listen to the specific situation. But this trick of surrender is a last resort. One surrender can be successful, but the credibility of the court is shattered, and it is difficult to obtain trust from now on. With people."

Zeng Jianxiong paused and said, "Yes! My lord. There are real pirates, fake pirates, Great Ming pirates and Western pirates currently appearing along the coast. Western pirate ships are sparsely populated and only operate in the southeast corner, rarely close to Zhejiang. Min area can be ignored."

Yang Ling smiled upon hearing this: This negligible Western pirate is the real confidant of future generations of China. Except for him, I am afraid that no one will have such an understanding of Western pirates. They are now ready to move and start business in the Strait of Malacca, but the coastal navy has not realized their harm.

He didn't interrupt, he just nodded and said: "Go on."

Zeng Defense continued: "For the Great Ming pirates, we plan to mainly recruit security. These people are brave and good at fighting. Once recruited, they are ready-made naval soldiers. Speaking of Great Ming pirates, they originally came from the coast. They live on the seashore, so they do not go ashore to rob or intrude on fishermen. The main means of making profits is to collect sea fees from smuggling merchants. If they pay the sum of money, they will also **** smuggling merchants to Nanyang.

The second is to compete with other pirates for profit. The real Japanese only come to my Great Ming in March, April and September to looting every year. They return to Japan at other times. The fake Japanese vassal to the real Japanese live on the island. They usually come out to rob merchant ships. Sometimes Will be eaten by Great Ming pirates. There are also those few Western pirates who are also the target of Great Ming pirates every time they go north.

The main source of income is the Great Ming pirates also steal and trade, use soldiers to support merchants, and they also do smuggling business with the Southeast Asian countries at the same time, so they have to prevent other pirates from attacking them, so in the sea group robbery, The Great Ming pirate's combat power is the strongest, and it is also the most difficult to destroy. "

Yang Ling smiled and said: "How strong is it? Is it better than Great Ming navy?"

Zeng Shoubei smiled awkwardly, and argued: "This...this is not always true. The main reason is that they will send back their wealth to their relatives who can hardly survive. Some rich pirates will repair bridges. Road, do some good deeds to win the hearts of the people, so every time the Great Ming navy goes out to sea, someone will inform them, and even provide them with hiding places, plus they smuggle goods to the Southeast Asian countries, those small countries are greedy for profit, and secretly help them and annihilate them. It's very difficult."

He looked at Peng Fugui and said, "There was a thief in the Putuo Mountain area, nicknamed the Shark King. He was one of the four great bandits in the East China Sea. When he was the most powerful, he didn't need to send a ship out to sea. As soon as the flag is raised on the island, the smuggling merchant ships of Nanyang countries and Great Ming will be inspected and paid according to the amount of cargo.

The obtained property Shark King is divided into a portion of Heaven, Earth and Human. The sky portion is used to help the coastal poor; the ground portion is hidden specifically to pay pirates who died and disabled in battle and their relatives; the portion is used to reward the deployment of meritorious combat, so it is extremely popular with the poor and the pirates. ... Indeed, there have been several defeats. "

The news that Mr. Peng is the Great Thief Shark King of the East China Sea and has been recruited by the court. The upper-level navy officers all know about it, but the matter has not been made public. Not only the people do not know, even the low-level officers do not know. Love, so although the officials present know the details, it is difficult for him to tell Peng Fugui directly.

Yang Ling laughed loudly: "Okay, I don't think there are Robin Hood-like characters among the Great Ming pirates." He smiled at Peng Fugui and thought: "Unfortunately, this person is not ambitious. Thought, maybe he is a sea king like Zheng Zhilong."

Peng Fugui was told by Zeng Bei of his old story of occupying the sea as king, and his face couldn't help but blush. Hearing Yang Ling compare him to Robin Hood, he couldn't help asking: "My lord, who is Robin Hood?"

Yang Ling smiled and said: "That is a very famous thief in the West."

Although Peng Fugui was invincible when he was at sea, many of the generals present were his defeated generals, but now he is also an official, and his official position is lower than others. The background of pirate always makes him feel He lowered his head, and now I heard the imperial envoy compare him to a thief, and I felt that he was very glorious and his chest stood up.

Zeng Shoubei hesitated and said: "As for the real Japanese and the fake Japanese who follow as bandits, they are so guilty and terrible. We decided to kill them. But they only cross the sea in spring and autumn every year. Our Great Ming looting, and they have meticulous work, can always avoid our navy patrol fleet. So we rarely fight with them at sea, and the water combat power is really unknown.

As for other small stock pirates, I believe that some of them will be turned into merchants after the settlement of the sea. With the few remaining pirates, it is difficult to pose a threat to the merchant fleet. "

Yang Ling listened to the closed eyes and thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, both use of caressing, lenient and strict, so as to divide the sea thieves and obtain the results as soon as possible. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the specific tactics must be guided. Soldiers and generals should act accordingly.

The sea is a pirate, and the sea is a natural shelter. When a hundred warships go into the sea and sail ten miles away, you will not be able to find them. Japanese pirates are good at hiding, so we have to send detailed work to understand each A pirate underground, and the relationship between them. This aspect... is in a stall, and you are responsible for it. "

Cheng Qiyun took a step forward, holding her fists and saluting like a man, and replied solemnly: "Yes!"

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

"The sea dog occupies the islands of Zhoushan. There are more than 30 large and small warships and more than 7,000 people under him. His strength cannot be underestimated. His worship put his brother Snow Cat on the islands farther away, whether it is a battleship or a soldier. The horses are not under him, they mainly make money by robbery and kidnapping.

The two people occupy the island as the king and are at ease. Although they heard that the court was training navy, they were still unmoved. The people I sent had made a test, and the two of them had no intention of accepting the court's call for security. "

Peng Fugui finished speaking to Cheng Qiyun. Cheng Qiyun walked in the room for a while with her hands on her back. Then she walked to the window and looked at the seagulls hovering in the sky. She said slowly, "No hurry, one It’s difficult to let these arrogant heroes on the water surrender if they don’t fight! Send them out first, lest they hug the Buddha’s feet in a hurry and cause these two people to doubt."

"Yes, I will immediately send someone to inform the beauty and let him do what he planned. This matter...Should you let the factory supervisor know?" Peng Fugui thought for a while and asked.

"No need", Cheng Qiyun's pretty face sank, and said coldly: "If they have seen the power of the court navy and are willing to accept the court's move, then this move will not be necessary at all. If they don't know how, Must use some harsh methods.

Master Yang is too compassionate. As a scholar, sometimes it is inevitable that mothers-in-law and mother-in-law, if he opposes it, we will mess up our position. Master Yang is a person doing great things, so it's better to ask him to be less bloody. "

She thought for a while, and then asked: "About your four great kings in the East China Sea, people who make a living on the water often say,'The sea dog picks up a cat, and the shark does not eat the grass'. How strong is this grass?" /

Peng Fugui showed a smile on his face and said: "Bai Xiaocao is timid, and he was afraid of wolves and tigers before he started doing things, but his power is not small. He is entrenched in Huangwei Island and Diaoyu Island. (Diaoyu Island) and Beixiaodao, there are more than 20 warships in hand and nearly 50 merchant ships.

He took over the smuggling business of jewelry, jade, and spices in Fanguo and Great Ming in the southeast, and had close contacts with merchants in Ryukyu and Yizhou (Taiwan). He said he was a thief, but he was actually more like a sleek merchant.

Because Seal and Snow Cat often bullied him, he once asked the old man for help, hoping to form an alliance with him. However, this kid is a stubborn person. The old man didn't want to offend the seal brothers for this kind of person, so he refused. That's why there is a saying that'sharks don't eat the grass'. Now my team is led by Wang Meiren. It should be called ‘beauties don’t eat back grass’, haha..."

"Hehe..." Cheng Qiyun curled her mouth and smiled a little evilly: "The timid, greedy party overlord, such a person is not difficult to deal with by tempting him to profit, scaring him to soldiers. Master Yang It seems that he is very interested in doing business. This person owns so many merchant ships and is closely related to other countries. If he recruits, the adults will be very happy. Father, you use snacks, and you will find a way to feed him with this "returning grass". Right."

The shark king Peng Fugui responded with a sullen smile, and when she saw Cheng Qiyun's no other instructions, he said, "Second gear, if there are no other instructions, I will arrange it."

Cheng Qiyun nodded, sent Peng Fugui out of the house, sat at the table and deliberated her plan again, only then raised her brows and stood up happily. The beach was soft and it was hard to walk. After walking with Yang Ling for most of the day, her ankles were sore. At this time, she felt tired after dealing with the official business. She went back to the bed and sat down, took off her boots, except for the cloth socks, rubbing the crystal fiber Beautiful ankle.

At this time, the door knocked on the door a few times. Cheng Qiyun thought she was the little girl who was waiting for her, without raising her head, she said: "Come in, help me bring the water over."

The person entering the door did not speak, and brought the basin over from the basin stand by the door.

Cheng Qiyun saw a corner of her robe, high boots with white soles, a vermilion robes, and a dragon's tail over her robe. She was shocked. She hurriedly looked up and saw that Yang Ling bends down and put the water on it. In front of her, she smiled and said: "Why, your feet are sore?"

The soles of those feet were thin, the skin was snowy and tender, the ten jade toes curled up tightly, and the pink palms were red and tender. Yang Ling hugged her waist, very close to her slender feet. Cheng Qiyun couldn't help but shyly shrink her feet. When Yang Ling got up, she put her feet in the basin quickly, feeling the kind of considerate care and care. Liang Sisi was comfortable, and asked: "Why are you here?"

Cheng Qiyun pressed her hands on the edge of the bed, her feet immersed in the clear water, gently dipping the water, looking extremely soft and charming. Yang Ling is inconvenient to look more, he returned to the table and sat down, watching Cheng Qiyun and said: "The Japanese pirates come ashore to attack, and when they are hindered, they will escape to the island. If you want to attack the island, you can't just rely on the navy. Its combat power is terrible......"

Yang Ling shook his head, with a solemn expression: "After listening to Zeng Defense's introduction today, I think it is a way to use banditry to control bandit. After all, they know the bottom line. The Great Ming Marine Division has just been established, even if the combat strength is very good. Yes, but no matter whether it is fighting on water or on land, it is never as simple as *military power. Besides, if the war is protracted, the court cannot afford to spend so much money, I am afraid that the sea ban will be repeated."

He took a breath, squinted his eyes and said: "Yiyun, think about it, if there are 10,000 pirates now, we have to train at least 10,000 soldiers with the same combat power to deal with it. This is only one-to-one. , And the time spent on military expenses, ordnance, and training. How much does it take? What are the casualties and the cost of fighting? There is no guarantee of victory.

What if these 10,000 pirates are recruited? It means that while we have 10,000 navy troops, the other side has reduced 10,000 navy troops. This has become a two-to-zero ratio, and there is almost no training time, whether it is in terms of military expenditures, battle costs, and victory. In terms of negative control, this is a profitable business, so the navy is stepping up to prepare for the war. With you...I hope to win the Great Ming pirates as much as possible. "

Cheng Qiyun looked brilliant, pursed her lips and smiled: "I also know the benefits of Zhaoan. It's just that no adults say so thoroughly. Hehe, what an adult says is really like a careful merchant. The beauty of Putuo Mountain is already I intend to take over the imperial court for security. Your lord has already discussed the imperial decree of the imperial court for security, right? As for the other three most powerful pirates, the humble position is intensifying contact with people. I hope they know each other and save us trouble."

Yang Ling listened to relieved, and smiled: "Okay, the specific measures, let me know when you have the eye. I am not as good as Commander Bai and Father Peng in naval warfare, so I won't mix the details. The layman has become an insider. You are far better than me by knowing reason, enticing and frightening, and instigating security. You are far better than me, and I will not harmonize, let you decide."

He grinned and stood up and said: "Wash your feet and rest, get rid of fatigue, I'll go to Master Min's seat."

Cheng Qiyun made a fuss and said: "Oh, my lord is going away? Humble job... I can't get up and give the lord a favor now."

Yang Ling snorted angrily: "Then you sit down and give it away."

Cheng Qiyun secretly laughed, Yang Ling walked to the door and pulled the door, and just saw a hundred households rushing eagerly, and when she saw Yang Ling from a distance, she yelled: "My lord, Mr. Bai, please go to the university immediately. Account, there is an emergency military situation."

Yang Ling was taken aback, and hurriedly rushed out and asked: "What happened?"

Cheng Qiyun heard movement in the room, and hurriedly wiped her feet, put on her shoes and socks and hurried back.

The hundred households rushed in a hurry. He took a breather and said anxiously: "Someone returned in a transmission boat, and Han Qianhu led three warships to perform martial arts at sea~IndoMTL.com~ encountered a group of Japanese pirates. According to the report, the captain said , Our military ship is big, and the speed of the hurried turn around is difficult to reach the enemy ship, so Han Qianhu led the ship to meet it."

Yang Ling hurriedly asked: "How many Japanese are there? How many warships?"

The hundred households shook their heads, and said: "The humble job has rushed over, but I haven't listened carefully."

As soon as Yang Ling heard it, she pulled her legs out and left. Cheng Qiyun had already put on her shoes and socks. When she heard some vaguely, she rushed to catch up.

Yang Ling arrived at Bai Chongchan’s handsome account, and saw the generals gathered. Gu Dayong also stood in front of the sand table and pointed. When he saw him coming in, Bai Chongchan and others hurriedly greeted him and said anxiously: "My lord, Han Qian Household..."

Yang Ling interrupted: "I see, where did they meet the enemy? How many enemy ships are there? How strong are they?"

Bai Chong praised: "The Japanese pirates that suddenly appeared had 51 large and small warships, with a total force of about 1,300 people. Han Qianhu had only three warships and 500 new recruits. I have sent people to gather navy. Battleship, ready to go for rescue, it's just..." He paused: "I just don't know if it's too late..."
