Chapter 185 Refuse to send troops
In the darkness, the fleet quietly entered the port. In order to have a secret place, it was originally a distance of two hours south through the three major islands of Daxie Island, because Li Guan led the fleet to the east to the mouth of the Yellow River, and then turned to Dengzhou not far from the coast there, and finally turned north from Huangxian, Dengzhou, and finally arrived at Niutuzi Island in the south of Shamen Town. The distance has doubled and the time has been used more than twice. When we arrive at Niutuzi Island, dawn is about to arrive.
Li Guan did not drive the ship directly into any of the four docks on Shamen Island. Although the four docks have been controlled by Shamen Town soldiers, in order to prevent the news from leaking, Li Guan did not dare to be careless at all. The fleet finally stopped at the small dock of Niutuzi Island opposite Taishan Wharf. More than 5,000 people, including pirates and slave craftsmen, etc., immediately began unloading the goods as soon as the ship docked.
Lin Wei, Zhang Hong and others who were left behind rushed to the dock as soon as possible. Looking at the lively scene on the dock, especially when more than 100 sea boats were parked at the dock, everyone who came was shocked. Especially Zhang Hong, an old rich fan, looked at the piles of cargo that were constantly unloading on the ship, and his mouth was so happy that he couldn't close.
The pirate leaders in Zhendonghai also looked around Niutuozi Island, especially Whitebeard and others. They have been traversing the Liaohai Sea for decades and have long heard of the prosperity of Dengzhou Gangtang Bay. However, due to their identity, it is the first time they have entered the center of this Tangwan Bay. In particular, Julie and Meghan, since they came to the island, they have been looking around, as if they were the hostess who came to the island.
"General, why doesn't this dock and island look very big? It's not as big as any temporary backup territory in our house. It's very different from what you said before." Megan held a dagger out of the sheath in his right hand and turned it like a butterfly river between his fingers, pouting his mouth and said dissatisfied. Julie also frowned slightly, feeling dissatisfied with it.
Li Huier had long been disgusted with these two ghost-like Hu girls along the way, especially when she saw Meghan often shamelessly holding Li Yan's arms, pretending to be disgusting and charming in a coquettish voice, seducing Li Yan. Several times she saw the yellow-haired vixen holding the two extremely plump meat balls to deliberately rub Li Yan's arms and back. The red-haired Hu girl was not a good thing, and she looked like a lady with a lady on the surface, but secretly he was caught by him kissing Li Yan's face when there was no one on the deck.
Adulter couple, vixen, stinky man.
Several times she wanted to ask Li Guan, the wife and concubines at home didn't care about their care, so why did they have to mess with other things outside, and they also found such two ugly vixen. I don't know where he liked these two vixen. Could it be that their chests were swelling like two grapefruits, or were they as shameless as prostitutes?
In addition, when Li Guanzi saw them coming on the island, he was lukewarm and cold to them, and his eyes were always full of blame. This made her even more unhappy. At this time, she finally returned to Shamen Town, but saw these two women with such expressions. She was even more angry and sneered: "This is just one of the three affiliated islands of Shamen Town. They are usually just used as a backup training ground. You are still commanded by the fleet invited by Saburo. Just like this, you are not afraid of making people laugh at it. What about Shamen Town? You will know after you go there. Now you should stop talking about evil and say less mistakes, so that others can avoid laughing at you."
Yu Youniang hurriedly pulled Li Huier aside. Li Guan's attitude towards her in the past two days made her realize that her previous actions with the former Liaohai were too reckless. She could always take the initiative at the beginning, but gradually, Li Guan became more and more mature in her eyes, and she had a bit of fatherly temperament. Slowly, she felt a little inexplicable about Li Guan. Last time she heard that Li Guan was alone in Liaohai and pirates to attack the Feng family's island, she didn't care too much in panic. She pulled Li Huier and Xiao Yulou together to transfer dozens of boats to Liaohai. Now thinking about it, her actions were too crazy at that time.
Seeing several women fighting openly and secretly, Li Yan's mouth twitched a few times. Although Li Huier and the others used to make fun of each other on the island, they were still good at all. Now, Meghan and Julie, a woman full of personality, came, and they looked down on each other and they didn't know how to get messy in the future.
From a distance, Li Guan saw Lin Wu and a group of people coming from the dock with many straw bags. He couldn't help but step forward and wonder: "What are you doing?"
Lin Wu threw the straw bag on his shoulder to the ground, grabbed Li Yan's hand and said excitedly: "Sanlang, I heard that you have brought back three hundred best grassland war horses. Where are you? Take the war horses down first. If you hold it on the boat for a long time, you will not be able to hold it up? War horses are the most precious BMWs. After staying on that island for a few days, and staying on the boat for so long, I guess they will lose a lot. Now I have to take it down, feed some soybeans and essences first, and it is best to feed some eggs to replenish them, and then take them for a good walk."
Looking at his excited look, Li Guan couldn't help but feel funny. Lin Wu was originally a cavalryman of the Shence Army, and ordinary people might not understand his fanatical love for war horses. However, Li Guan probably no one on the island knows how to take care of war horses better than him. He smiled and said, "You are an expert in this regard. Three hundred war horses are all first-class war horses, so I will hand them all over to you. I remember that there was a horse among the refugees we recruited last time? He said that he could look at horses, raise horses and feed horses, and even simply treat horses. You can go to the town to find out if there are any other talents in this field, whether they are horse-raising, driving horses, or horse-taking horses, or even veterinarians. Get them together separately and take care of these treasure war horses. Our cavalry depends entirely on these horses."
At this moment, the boat carrying the horses landed on the dock, and the slaves led the war horses ashore. Lin Wu looked at these horses and looked at them. He touched the war horses with his hands, his eyes shining brightly, and murmured: "Sanlang, why don't you call someone else to the auxiliary barracks and be the ten generals, and you let me be the cavalry general."
Li Guan shook his head and rejected Lin Wu's proposal to form a cavalry separately. There are too few cavalry now, and it is impossible to form a combat force alone. It is better to organize cavalry into various teams according to the current organization of the flower-dressed team. When there is a task, you can fight with the team. If there is a large battle, you can also gather the cavalry of each team to use it. But there is no need to build a cavalry alone now.
"You should be the ten generals of your Infantry Battalion. Don't worry, when our strength grows in the future, your Infantry Battalion will be equipped with a spear-dropping soldier and an auxiliary soldier, and a light cavalry. At that time, the Infantry Battalion will be a powerful group, and no one can underestimate it."
"Really, how many cavalrymen will have then?" Lin Wu, who had just been a little disappointed, immediately felt shocked and asked.
"A standard infantry and spear square camp, according to my plan, will have eight thousand people, of which the infantry will be four times that of now, reaching more than four thousand, and then there will be more than two thousand light shield soldiers, more than one thousand auxiliary soldiers, and more than one thousand light cavalry. Take your current infantry battalion first, and there will be cavalry naturally in the future."
Lin Wu nodded, and with a look of longing, he called his subordinates to carry the forage and feed the horses first. Although these war horses did not belong to his infantry battalion, he is still the riding instructor.
As soon as Lin Wu left, Lin Wei came over again. He wanted to say something, "If you have anything, just say it. We are brothers, and you married the fourth sister, and you are all a family, so what else can't be said."
"I just heard the third brother talk about your attack on Cat Island this time. It was a bit too risky. If Zijun and his friends failed to open the castle gate in time, then you would be dangerous." He paused, turned to look at the Whitebeard and others who were guiding people around the dock, and then said, "And, I don't think you should have brought Zhendonghai and the others to Shamen Town. If their identities are leaked, then things will be in trouble."
Li Guan smiled, "This matter is a last resort. On the way home of Zhendonghai and the others, they are now patrol boats from Duli Town. The area is now full of Duli Town, Qingnipu and Beisha City, and they cannot get through at all. They are now our allies, and I will bring them to the island, so there is nothing big of a deal. Could it be that they can still steal our territory? Besides, as long as we keep these pirates on Niutuozi Island and strictly guard them, no one will know the identities of these people."
"By the way, is there anything happening at home when I'm not at home?"
"Yes!" Lin Wei nodded, "After you leave, there are many suspicious ships and personnel on the sea around our island. I guess they were sent by Feng Zhang, and I guess they wanted to see us make trouble with Wang Jin. Later, after you captured Mao Island, these people were all withdrawn. Feng Zhang's general, Tou Lin, came several times, saying that he wanted to see you and used the excuse of selling materials. But I was sent by me, and only said that you were busy building a city. Later, Feng Zhang sent Feng Xun over and said that the Da Xie Fort had a military order, asking you to go to Da Xie Fort to participate in the military discussion. I said that you had a cold and a fever and could not go, so I went on your behalf."
Li Guan pondered for a while and said, "Feng Zhang may be suspected that I was related to the matter on Cat Island, but he may just be suspicious. After all, our people are all on the island. It is a bit too risky to go to Da Xie Fort. We should try not to leave Shamen Town in the future. What is his military discussion or not? If he finds an excuse to turn it off, can he still remove us? If you go to the military discussion, what are you talking about specifically?"
"Feng Zhang said that pirates have been rampant recently, and no matter how many pirates dare to attack Shamen Town in Daxie Fortress, this is a provocation to Daxie Fortress. Therefore, he decided to send troops to sweep the pirates, demanded that all five forts and seven garrisons send troops to gather, and specifically asked us to send troops to fight."
"How did you answer?"
"I said I have to come back and report to you before I can reply to this matter." Lin Wei said.
Li Guan thought for a while, "In this way, you will send someone to reply to Feng Zhang, saying that after our last attack, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Now the recruits are still being recruited, and the weapons and equipment are not complete, so it is not possible to send troops to the war for the time being."
