The bright red morning sun climbed up the treetops, the fog began to dissipate, and Zhang Tiangang, Li Xuanba, and Luo Shixin had already led people to complete the encirclement of the forest according to Wang Junlin's instructions. In fact, if it weren't for the fear that the more than 1,000 remnants of the army would attack the more than 5,000 displaced people who would continue to reclaim farmland, develop fisheries and build all kinds of infrastructure, Wang Junlin would have wanted to let it go, and did what he had to do, waiting for these Goguryeo people to be hungry and couldn't stand it, so he took the initiative to run out of the mountains and forests, knelt down at the door and begged for surrender.

Zhang Tiangang, Li Xuanba, and Luo Shixin came back to give Wang Junlin his life, and the three of them fought for a day and a night, covered in blood, most of them were the blood of the enemy, but they also had their own blood.

From the beginning of the armored attack, the three of them were the first soldiers from beginning to end, killing happily, acting as the sharp knives of the 1,000 troops they led, and played an important role in the battles that defeated the Goguryeo people who gathered to fight back, directly and greatly improving the morale of the army, and indirectly reducing the number of casualties among the soldiers they led.

Therefore, although the strength of the three people is profound, but every time they rush in front of them, they are surrounded by more than a dozen people, or even dozens of people, and there are places where they are shot by stray arrows or cut by random knives, Li Xuanba is the most brave, although there is no one who is injured, but there are as many as thirteen minor injuries, but this kid does not seem to be injured himself, not only is he not the slightest tired, but he is still high-spirited, and his killing intent is even more soaring, shouting to lead people to kill in that forest, it is simply a violent maniac.

At this time, the following people came to report: "My lord, more than 100 personal soldiers of the Goguryeo general Jin Sanhu took the injured and unconscious Jin Sanhu to surrender and ask us to help treat Jin Sanhu." ”

Wang Junlin's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "According to what Li Xiaoli said, this Jin Sanhu is the descendant of the Jin family, a great nobleman of Goguryeo, and the Jin family's power in Goguryeo is not small. ”

Zhang Tiangang knew the importance of Jin Sanhu and promised to leave in a hurry.

……

……

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, three months have passed since the Battle of Bailing Island, calculating the time, more than five months have passed since Wang Junlin initially led four thousand sailors to exchange Yuangai Suwen for Dami Island and Bailing Island.

And Bailing Island and Dami Island have also undergone great changes, there have been eight groups of a total of 40,000 displaced people migrated from the land of the Great Sui, in the two islands are finalized, under the unified planning, around the harbor, each has established a small town, and there is a small city on the island.

In addition, more than 100,000 acres of fertile land have been reclaimed, and Wang Junlin selected two poor students from the first batch of students of Fanyang College who could be regarded as confidants, and appointed them as administrative officials, and selected small officials and catchers from among the common people to be responsible for the management and governance of the civil affairs of the two islands, and at the same time responsible for taxation.

The taxes here mainly refer to the passing merchant ships and the maritime merchants who set up shops on the island and hoard goods.

Under the operation of Yang Kongchan, Dami Island and Baekryeong Island have become a must-pass place for maritime merchants from the Great Sui to Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje, and Wa Kingdoms, where merchants can rest and recuperate, replenish fresh water and food, rent warehouses and land, hoard goods, and even hire sailors under the command of Wang Junlin to escort merchant ships, but the price is relatively expensive.

In such a place where business travelers gathered, it was naturally impossible to completely prevent Goguryeo's scouts and sentinels from infiltrating as business travelers, and Wang Junlin was also defenseless and let the other party's spies come over.

At the beginning of September, the 6,000 pirates belonging to Gan Ziqi and the 8,000 Goguryeo troops who surrendered were successively sent to the training camp on Snake Island in batches for intensive training, and at the same time, by collecting more and more displaced people in the Great Sui, 4,000 sailors were trained on Snake Island, which has gradually replaced the pirates of Da Turtle Island, and Gan Ziqi also became the first administrator of Da Turtle Island, and was responsible for the civil affairs and commercial taxes of Da Turtle Island under the framework formulated by Wang Junlin.

At the same time, with Big Turtle Island as the center, the pirate forces within a radius of thousands of miles began to encircle, suppress, and annex.

According to Wang Junlin's calculations, the number of these pirates adds up to more than 40,000 people, and he will gradually annex these more than 40,000 people in a year's time, and these pirate islands have also become the villages, towns, counties, and states of Wang Junlin's maritime empire, and they have the duty and responsibility to pay taxes, to serve in the military, and to do servitude.

And after nearly half a year of development, the power of Wang Junlin's family in Snake Island and Salt Works has also developed rapidly.

Not only did Nie Xiaoyu train 10,000 sailors on Snake Island, but Lu Han and Guan Xiaotong also trained 5,000 elite marines in the salt field, including 3,000 cavalry.

And the Fanyang County Water Division, which is nominally under the command of Zhao Chen, with the cooperation of Wang Junlin's forces, Huang Shaoqiu has secretly replaced nearly half of the grassroots generals of the Fan County Water Division with people from Snake Island or the salt field, and sixty percent of the ordinary soldiers have been replaced by Wang Junlin's people, it is no exaggeration to say that the current Fanyang County Water Master Wang Junlin's right to speak is much more effective than Zhao Chen, who has been nominally promoted to the head of the Water Division by the imperial court.

In addition, after more than half a year of rapid development of Wang Junlin's famous and military industry, although it will not be earth-shattering, it is also amazing and shocking to all insiders except Nie Xiaoyu and Wang Junlin.

Compared with the beginning of the year, the shipyard has been able to easily produce warships and civilian ships with a load of more than 5,000 stones, as long as the financial allows, Wang Junlin can let all the more than 10,000 sailors under his command be replaced by invincible warships of more than 5,000 stones in a very short time, and at that time, there will be no force in the world that will be able to resist Wang Junlin at sea, and even consider sailing farther.

For a long time, because Yang Guang's expedition to Goguryeo was less than a year away, and it was imminent, Wang Junlin attached the most importance to the development of the sailors, so that among the many workshop affairs of the salt works, the shipyard was the most rapidly developing.

With the correct leadership of the group of talents originally cultivated by Nie Xiaoyu, the preparation materials that affect the speed of shipbuilding have made great progress, and after the kiln drying method of the shipyard matures, the time for preparing ship materials has been shortened from the original two to three years to three months.
