There are many advantages to walking this way, half of the distance is on the boat, and the other half is also all post roads, the road conditions are better, saving time and effort. The only problem is to requisition a large number of ships, 10,000 new troops plus chariots and horses, and the ships are not enough, but where can they find so many large ships.

This problem was not a problem for Hong Tao at all, there were six armed cargo ships on Jeju Island, and only one was left to take care of the family, and the rest came to help; Wang Hao's Tokai Trading Company suspended its route to Japan for two months to support five three-masted ships; The Downwind Dart Bureau also suspended some operations and transferred the only three seagoing vessels to the site.

The remaining 20 or so ships were all hired by the promotion agency from the coastal prefectures, but in fact, after the Fuzhou Daily and Pravda, many maritime merchants were embarrassed to accept the money and asked if they could send people to follow the new army to the battlefield.

The deeds of Wang Hao bringing back so many cattle, sheep and slaves from Youzhou have become legends, and anyone who thinks of it can't help but pick a thumbs up and praise this king for his courage, knowledge and fortune.

I thought I wouldn't be able to catch up with this kind of opportunity in this life, but I didn't expect King Liang to come out of the mountain again, so why don't you wait. What kind of boat money is not the boat money, it is said that you should pay money to King Liang, and buy a ticket to get rich behind the ass of the new army.

But this time, Hong Tao didn't dare to hold it up again, and rejected all these requests. I'm afraid this battle is not easier than Xijin Mansion, I have been preparing for three years, and everything I can think of has been calculated N many times, plus the Khitans don't understand the combat methods of the new army to deal with it calmly.

Now the enemy is afraid that he is about to study the new army thoroughly, and the people have been carefully preparing for several years, and they have come in a hurry, and how much advantage can the musket take advantage of the steel plate crossbow is useless to rely on data alone, and it is necessary to go to the battlefield to fight a dozen before it can be bottomed.

However, he didn't say everything to death, and allowed the merchants to send military supplies to Weiqiao Town, and bought all of them at a high price, and if there was an opportunity at that time, he would not object to everyone going further north.

Such a huge fleet of ships meandered nearly 20 miles long on the Yangtze River, causing people along the way to flock to the river to watch the excitement, and when they heard that it was the New Army that was going north to fight, an interesting thing happened, and most of the hundreds of slender men were unemployed.

Rich or poor, educated or not, everyone had to take the cable and pull it, and the rich family drove the cattle and horses of the family over. Not only did it not help, but it disrupted the balance of the ship's speed, and if it weren't for the fact that the sailors had seen the world on the sea, there might have been an accident of running aground or colliding with the ship.

What to do, yes, in the face of the enthusiasm of the people, it is not easy to order a forcible drive, so he can only order the sailors to pay close attention to the draft of the ship, and cut the cable as soon as he finds that something is wrong.

I don't know if it was the prayers of the people who moved the heavens, or if it should be like this, I walked slowly for three days, and seeing that I had missed the trip, a southeast wind suddenly blew on the river. The wind was still strong, and the waves crackled against the hull of the ship, and then turned into a cloud of white foam.

If this is an inland river boat, it will have to find a place to dock, and the flat-bottomed boat can not withstand the strong waves and can easily capsize. However, the sea ship was really not afraid of this little wave, and it was more comfortable to raise the full sail with the help of the wind, and the speed of the voyage suddenly increased several times, and in less than a day, it made up for all the losses of the previous three days, and there was also an excess.

"Could it be that adults really call for wind and rain?" As Hong Tao's personal guard, Baga naturally had to go out with his master, he was very surprised by this scene, and his eyes when he looked at his master became even more frightened.

“…… Erlang, tell you where this old man wind came from. Hong Tao, as the commander-in-chief, did not sit in the so-called Chinese army, but ran to Jiang Erlang's forward ship.

He prefers the layout of armed merchant ships, where he can stand on the stern and point out the country, and he also feels that ships with cannons are safer, even if they rush to the first one.

"I'm afraid there will be a typhoon at sea...... Are you Japanese? ”

Jiang Erlang is not very willing to answer this kind of question, through a few years of life at sea, he has long figured out some weather conditions that he could not understand, and what gods and gods are not are all nonsense. But after seeing Yaga's saber, I finally remembered something.

"Yes, the villain met the master only when he was on the adult's boat, and he is grateful!" In fact, Jiang Erlang didn't plan to be close to Baga Trick, speaking of which, he should be regarded as someone's enemy, and when he even grabbed and flickered back a boatload of Japanese, no one in it should be grateful.

But he guessed wrong, not only did Yaga have no hatred, but also bowed very sincerely, thanked him with all his mouth, and even brought a little smile on his basically expressionless face.

"Don't look at me...... If I don't have enough to eat all day, I don't have anything to do, and no one can afford to look at me, I have to thank you for taking me to Jeju Island. As for which nationality and nationality I am, it really doesn't matter, people don't necessarily have to be richer or higher than others in life, the key is to have dignity. Baga is the children's sword teacher in my house, and no one will look down on him because of his background, let alone force him to work hard. The Japanese want to come and ruin his life, guess how Yaga will choose? ”

Facing Jiang Erlang's inquiring and incomprehensible eyes, Hong Tao understood what he was thinking. In recent years, there has been another ethnic group on Jeju Island, the Japanese. Every time Wang Hao and Jiang Erlang go to Japan, they will bring back some locals to use as coolies, not to buy but to fool, and not to spend a penny.

It's so poor over there, so poor that as long as you give you hope, someone will be willing to follow you to fight for your life, both men and women. However, when these people arrived on Jeju Island, they did not feel very peaceful, and there were cases of collective riots or fleeing into the mountains and forests to become bandits.

Although it is not too difficult to clear the bandits on a not too large island, and by the way, you can also train soldiers, but who wants to kill people and play without anything. This incident made Jiang Erlang very upset, and he didn't bring it back, looking at so many free laborers, his heart itched, and he continued to bring it back, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to control it.

In addition, he always had a question in his heart, wondering how Hong Tao subdued Xiao Wuna, this is not an ordinary coercion and temptation, the military power has been given, and he must be completely convinced.

"Kill them, my and Baga's lives, no one can take them away except the master!" Yaga replied very simply, and made a knife drawing and slashing motion, and the face that was not very kind was out of shape.

"So how do I give them ...... What's up? Although Jiang Erlang didn't understand it too much, he felt that this had to be a good idea. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, ask first to understand and then go back and ponder with Chen Niang, there will definitely be a gain.

"Come, Lao Xiao, don't stare blindly, there is nothing on this river that can threaten you. Come and listen, I'll make a question, and you and General Chiang will answer it together. ”

Why is Jiang Erlang so concerned about how to rule strangers, Hong Tao also knows that there are conditions for borrowing troops this time, they help themselves win the Tanguts, and then they have to help them land on the Korean Peninsula, not secretly, but on a large scale.

Once on the Korean Peninsula, with tens of millions of people and a large area of land, Jeju Island's management model is not working. In the end, it should be like formulating the country's management model, not only Chen Niang and the Jews are pondering, Jiang Erlang and Xiao Wuna are also thinking.

This is a good thing, and it is also a great progress, I am not afraid that I will not, but I am afraid not to ponder. As long as you are willing to ponder, there is always a solution, even if it is not perfect at the beginning, little by little, it can always get better and better.

This fleet will go for at least ten days, and the inland waterways are not as ever-changing as the sea, so there is nothing to guard, so let's start a training class, and then help my daughter, which can be regarded as a kind of reward for agreeing to borrow troops without saying a word.

"Baga, you can also answer, listen up! If, I mean, if Master Xiao and Baga stand on the top floor of the bell tower of Yangtze River College and jump down together, who will land first? ”

Since it is a lecture, Hong Tao hopes that the more people who hear it, the better, but unfortunately the sailors are busy, and the idlers on this ship are only Jiang Erlang, Xiao Wuna and Baga, three is three, it is better than two.

“…… Adults are making fun of me again? As soon as this question came out, Xiao Wuna's face immediately darkened, he didn't know how to do it, and he had been getting fatter and fatter year by year since he went to Jeju Island.

It's not fat, it's really long porcelain and real meat, and you can't practice it no matter how you practice. is already dark and tall, coupled with a horizontal meat, every time Hong Tao goes to Jeju Island, he will laugh at him for not having enough to eat when he was in Liaoguo before.
