With the arrival of the Second Fleet, with 5,000 foot soldiers and a baggage battalion, ships sailed into Bon Harbor every day, and countless supplies were unloaded from the ships, including not only all kinds of supplies for the fleet, but also many craftsmen who began to repair and replenish the damaged warships.

After the war, it is natural that the three armies should be rewarded. In order to comfort the sailors who were born and died, Yang Feng even asked the baggage battalion to purchase hundreds of pigs, chickens, ducks, fish and other meat and poultry and send them to the barracks, which made the sailors enjoy eating.

"Let's work harder, let's clean the deck and start eating!"

On the deck, Ning Shuisheng and more than a dozen sailors around him held a rectangular grinding stone the size of a book, lined up in a row and pushed the grinding stone back and forth in a half-kneeling position, and behind them stood several sailors who began to splash water on the deck they rubbed on, and then several sailors used big mops to sweep the water out of the deck.

When the deck was cleaned, all the sailors were strong young men, and they were all tired and had backaches, but the thought of being able to feast on them later, many of them had expectant smiles on their faces.

"Ning Shuisheng!"

A slightly old voice sounded on the deck, as soon as he heard this voice, Ning Shuisheng, who was resting on the mast, struck a spirit, jumped up reflexively, stood upright, stood upright, and followed the direction from which the voice came to salute, and said loudly: "Dao!" ”

Soon, a middle-aged man in his forties came over and came to him, this person was none other than Uncle Qin, who was the captain of the Qingyuan at the time.

The Second Fleet was founded with the people who came to Liu Xiang as the core, although in recent years, Yang Feng has arranged for many officers and sailors who graduated from the Sailor Academy to enter the Second Fleet for the sake of balance, but there are still nearly half of the captains who are old people brought by Liu Xiang, and Uncle Qin is one of them.

Although Uncle Qin is only the captain of the Qingyuan in name, those in the know know that his status in the Second Fleet is second only to Liu Xiang, and he is very fair, so he is quite loved by the soldiers.

I saw Uncle Qin walk up to Ning Shuisheng, look him up and down, and a strange smile appeared on his face: "Good boy, I didn't expect you to have this ability, I really can't see it usually." ”

Ning Shuisheng was a little stunned, "My lord, what do you mean, why don't you understand the humble position?" ”

"You're still pretending." Uncle Qin glared at him angrily, "The girls have come to the door, you still don't admit it, I can tell you, I have seen that girl, she is a good girl, don't let people down." ”

"Wow...... Babbling ......"

Although Uncle Qin's voice was not loud, it was enough for everyone around him to hear, and for a while, a strange scream and even a whistle sounded on the entire ship.

The life of a sailor at sea is monotonous, and it is rare to encounter such a fun, where the sailors do not enjoy the coaxing.

Listening to the coaxing around him, Ning Shuisheng was anxious, "No...... What the hell are you talking about, my lord, why can't you understand anything? ”

"You kid is still pretending to be confused!" Seeing that Ning Shuisheng still refused to admit it, Uncle Qin couldn't help but be angry, and lightly kicked his calf, "Okay, since you don't want to say it, then I won't talk much, go down quickly, the girl is still waiting for you below, don't let the family wait for a long time." ”

"I ...... Well......"

In the commotion of everyone, Ning Shuisheng, who was confused, got off the battleship and came to the dock, when he saw the pearl girl dressed as a fisherman girl with a dark complexion but particularly smart eyes standing on the dock, everything understood......

"Master Hou, what do you have to do when you call the lower officials?"

In the small conference room of the flagship of the Zhenyuan, Liu Xiang looked at Yang Feng, who was sitting at the other end of the table and looked at him with a flat face, and felt a little uneasy, he threw his face yesterday, did he want to give himself small shoes to wear today or reprimand himself for an excuse?

Yang Feng pondered for a while and said, "Deputy Admiral Liu, Ben Hou called you here today to discuss something with you. ”

Seeing that Yang Feng didn't come to settle accounts with him after the autumn, Liu Xiang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Master Hou, please speak!" ”

"Deputy Admiral Liu, now that Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Zhihu are dead, Zheng Zhibao has fled. The Zheng family's main fleet was annihilated by us, and the rest is no longer enough to worry about, what do you think should be done with the people around Bon Harbor? Do you want to relocate them back to the Ming Dynasty or stay here? ”

"Of course, it's better to stay in Ben Harbor." Liu Xiang said without thinking: "Master Hou, Taiwan is my Ming barrier, both the Dutch and the Spaniards are eyeing it, especially the Dutch have built the city of Geranza in the south, which is equivalent to a shackle on our throat, how can we easily give it up."

It was the following officials who thought that the imperial court would not only not be able to move the people of Ben Hong Kong back, but would continue to move the people from the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so that Taiwan could become the strongest barrier on the South Sea of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Well said!"

Yang Feng nodded with satisfaction, with a look of appreciation in his eyes, but Liu Xiang's words were beyond his expectations. In his impression, Liu Xiang was just an excellent sailor general, but now it seems that she is also very discerning in strategy. In that case, it's easy to proceed with the rest of the story.

After pondering for a while, Yang Feng said again: "Vice Admiral Liu, Ben Hou plans to move the station of the Second Fleet from Fujian to Ben Port, what do you think?" ”

"Move the station of the Second Fleet to Benzene Harbor?"

Liu Xiang was taken aback at first, and then nodded without thinking: "It should indeed be so, even if Hou Ye doesn't mention this matter, Xia Guan is ready to make a suggestion to Hou Ye, with the demise of the Zheng family brothers, there is really no need for the Second Fleet to be stationed in Fuzhou anymore." ”

"That's good!" Yang Feng smiled with satisfaction, and it was a pleasure to talk to a smart person, "Since this is the case, then you should hurry up when you go back, hurry up and draw up a charter, and show it to Ben Hou tomorrow, as long as there are no major problems, this matter will be decided." ”

"Tomorrow, in such a hurry?" Liu Xiang was slightly taken aback, and looked at Yang Feng's beautiful eyes with puzzled eyes, could it be that this person still remembered the thing he gave him a face yesterday?

Seeing Liu Xiang's appearance, Yang Feng had to explain: "This matter is very important, if the imperial court does not have a will, the local government of Fujian will not dare to move, so Benhou plans to go back to the capital in a few days, in addition to reporting on his work, he must also report this matter to His Majesty, and has sought His Majesty's consent and support." That's why you need to write the charter as soon as possible. ”

"I see, but I was wrong!" After listening to Yang Feng's explanation, Liu Xiangqiao's face turned slightly red, feeling guilty for her guess just now.
