Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the fleet quietly entered the harbor. In order to keep his whereabouts secret, he originally went directly south for two hours through the three major islands of Daxie Island, because Li Jing led the fleet to the east to the mouth of the Yellow River, and then turned to Dengzhou not far along the coast, and then turned north from Dengzhou Huang County, and finally arrived at Niulizi Island in the south of Shamen Town. The distance has doubled, the time has more than doubled, and when we reach the island, dawn is about to arrive.

Li Jing did not directly drive the ship into any of the four piers on Shamen Island, although the four piers were now under the control of the Shamen Town Army, but in order to prevent the news from leaking, Li Jing did not dare to be careless. The fleet finally stopped at the small wharf of Niulizi Island opposite the Taishan wharf, and as soon as the ship of more than 5,000 people, including pirates and slave craftsmen, docked, it began to unload the cargo.

Lin Wei, Zhang Hong and others, who stayed behind, rushed to the dock as soon as possible, looking at the lively scene on the dock, especially when there were more than 100 sea ships parked at the dock, everyone who came was shocked. Especially Zhang Hong, an old money fan, looked at the piles of goods that were constantly unloaded on the ship, and his happy mouth couldn't close at all.

The leaders of the pirates in the east sea of Zhendong Sea are also looking around at Niu Lizi Island, especially Whitebeard and a few others, who have been crisscrossing the Liaohai Sea for decades, and they have long heard of the prosperity of Dengzhou Port and Tang Bay. However, due to their status, it was the first time they had entered the center of this pond bay. Especially Julie and Megan, since they went to the island, they have been constantly looking around, as if they are the hostesses of the arrival.

"General, why doesn't this dock and the island look very big, it's not as big as our family's random temporary spare land. It's very different from what you said before. Megan held an unsheathed dagger in her right hand and swung between her fingers like a butterfly through a flower. He pouted dissatisfied. Julie also frowned slightly. Not very happy here.

Li Hui'er has long been unaccustomed to seeing these two ghost-like Hu girls along the way, especially when she sees that Megan often shamelessly pulls Li Jing's arm, and pretends to be disgusting fox to seduce Li Jing, and several times she has seen the yellow-haired fox spirit holding the two plump balls of flesh and deliberately rubbing Li Jing's arms and back. The red-haired bearded girl is not a good thing, on the surface, she pretends to be a lady who is everyone's lady, but secretly he actually bumped into Li Jing's face when there was no one on the deck.

Adulterers, whores, vixens, stinky men.

Several times she wanted to question Li Jing. The wives and concubines at home usually don't take care of them, why do they have to mess with flowers and grass outside, and they are looking for such two ugly fox spirits, and I don't know what he likes about these two fox spirits, is it because their chests are bulging like two grapefruits, or are they as shameless as prostitutes?

In addition, Li Jing has been lukewarm to them since she saw them arrive on that island, and her eyes are always full of reproach, which makes her even more unhappy. At this time, he finally returned to Shamen Town, but saw these two women with such expressions. Immediately, he was even more angry, and said with a sneer: "This is just one of the three outer islands attached to Shamen Town. Usually it is just used as a backup training ground. It's a shame that you are still in command of the fleet that Saburo invited back, and like that, you are not afraid of making people laugh. How about Shamen Town, you will know the Tao after a while, now it's better to say less, say less and make fewer mistakes, so as not to let others laugh at you. ”

Yu Youniang hurriedly pulled Li Hui'er on the side, Li Jing's attitude towards her in the past two days made her know that her previous actions with Liaohai were too reckless. For this junior brother, at the beginning, she could always take the initiative, but gradually, Li Jing became more and more mature in her eyes, and actually had a bit of a father's temperament, slowly, for Li Jing, she had a little indescribable feeling, the last time I heard that Li Jing actually went to Liaohai alone to join forces with pirates to attack the island of the Feng family, she couldn't care too much in panic, and pulled Li Huier and Xiao Yulou to transfer dozens of boats together and went to Liaohai. Thinking about it now, it was crazy.

Seeing a few women fighting openly and secretly there, the corners of Li Jing's mouth twitched a few times, although Li Hui'er and they often messed around on the island before, they were still good. It's good now, Megan and Julie, two women full of character, are here, and they can't look down on each other as soon as they come, and they don't know how to jump in the future.

From a distance, Li Jing saw Lin Wuzheng coming from the dock with a group of people carrying many straw bags, and couldn't help but step forward and wondered, "What are you doing here?" ”

Lin Wuyi threw the straw bag on his shoulder on the ground, grabbed Li Jing's hand and said excitedly: "San Lang, I heard that you got back three hundred of the best grassland war horses, where are they?" Hurry up and take the war horse down first, and you can't suffocate it after holding it on the boat for a long time? War horses are the most expensive BMWs, and after staying on that island for a few days and staying on the ship for so long, it is estimated that they have lost a lot of weight. Now you have to take it down, feed some soybeans, concentrate, and preferably a little egg to make up for it, and then take it for a good walk. ”

Looking at his excited look, Li Jing couldn't help but laugh. Lin Wu was originally a cavalryman of the Shence Army, and ordinary people might not be able to understand his fanatical love for war horses. However, Li Jing estimated that there was no one on the island who knew how to take care of war horses better than him, and said with a smile: "You are an expert in this area, and the three hundred war horses are all first-class war horses, so I will hand them all over to you, I remember that there was not a horse tooth among the displaced people we recruited last time?" He said that he knew how to take horses, raise horses and feed horses, and even simply healed horses. You go back to the town to see if there are any other talents in this field, whether it is a horse breeder or a horse driver, or a horse horse, or even a veterinarian. Get them together individually and take care of these precious warhorses. Our cavalry depends entirely on these horses. ”

At this time, the boat loaded with the horses docked, and the slaves brought the war horses ashore, Lin Wu couldn't leave the eyes of these horses as soon as he saw them, his hands touched the war horses, his eyes were shining, and he muttered: "San Lang, why don't you transfer someone else to the auxiliary camp as a tenth general, you let me be a cavalry general." ”

Li Jing shook his head and rejected Lin Wu's proposal to form the cavalry separately. At present, there are still too few cavalry, and it is impossible to form a combat effectiveness at all, so it is better to organize the cavalry into various teams according to the current establishment of the fancy team, and you can go out with the team when you have a task in peacetime. If there is a big battle, you can also gather the cavalry of each team and use it at that time. But there is no need for a separate cavalry formation now.

"You should be the tenth general of your infantry infantry battalion, rest assured, when our strength grows in the future, when your infantry battalion is full, it will be equipped with a spearman and an auxiliary, and it will also be equipped with a light cavalry, at that time the infantry light infantry battalion will be a powerful group, and no one can underestimate it."

"Really, how many cavalry will there be then?" Lin Wu, who was a little lost just now, was immediately shocked and asked.

"A standard infantry camp, according to my calculations, will have eight thousand men, of which the infantry will be four times as many as it is now, reaching more than four thousand, and then more than two thousand lightly armed shield soldiers, more than 1,000 auxiliary soldiers, and more than 1,000 light cavalry. Take your current infantry battalion with you first, and the cavalry will naturally have it later. ”

Lin Wu nodded, and with a look of longing, he beckoned his subordinates to carry the forage and feed the horses first, although these war horses did not belong to his infantry battalion, but he was still serving as the head of the riding sect.

As soon as Lin Wu left, Lin Wei came over again. He wanted to speak and stopped, "If the eldest brother has anything to say, just say it directly, we are brothers, and you married the fourth sister, we are all a family, what else can not be said." ”

"I just heard the third child talk about your attack on Cat Island this time, it's really too risky, in case Zijun and their reconnaissance fail to open the castle gate in time, then you will be in danger." He paused, turned his head to look at Whitebeard and the others who were pointing around the dock, and continued, "Moreover, I don't think you should bring Zhendonghai and them to Shamen Town. If their identities are revealed, things will be in trouble. ”

Li Jing smiled, "This matter is also a last resort, Zhendonghai and their way home are now full of patrol boats from Duli Town, and that area is now full of soldiers and horses from Duli Town, Qingnipu and Beisha City, and they can't pass at all." They are also our allies now, and it is no big deal for me to bring them to the island. Besides, as long as we leave these pirates on Niu Lizi Island and guard them strictly, others will not know the identities of these people. ”

"By the way, did anything happen at home when I wasn't at home?"

"Yes!" Lin Wei nodded, "After you leave, there are many suspicious ships and people on the sea around our island, I guess they are people sent by Feng Zhang, and they probably want to see us get into trouble with Wang Jin." Later, after you captured Cat Island, these people withdrew again. Feng Zhang's family general, Feng Lin, came a few times, saying that he wanted to see you, under the pretext of selling materials. But I sent them all away, and I just said that you were busy building the city. Later, Feng Zhang sent Feng Xun over again, saying that Da Xie Yan had a military order issued and asked you to go to Da Xie Qi to participate in the military meeting. I said that you had a cold and fever and could not go, so I went on your behalf. ”

Li Jing groaned, and said after a while: "Feng Zhang may have some suspicions that I have something to do with the matter of Cat Island, but he may just be suspicious, after all, our people and horses are all on the island." It's a bit too risky for you to go to Da Xie Yan, let's try not to leave Shamen Town in the future, whether he has a military discussion or not, just find an excuse to push it away, is it possible that he can still remove us? When you go to the military conference, what exactly are you talking about? ”

Feng Zhang said that pirates have been rampant recently, and any pirates dare to sneak attack Da Xie Yan's Shamen Town, which is a provocation to Da Xie Yan. Therefore, he decided to send troops to sweep away the pirates, asked all the five forts and seven garrisons to send troops to gather, and specifically asked us to send troops to fight. ”

"How did you answer?"

"I said I had to come back and report it to you before I could reply." Lin Wei said.

Li Jing thought for a while, "In this way, you will send someone to reply to Feng Zhang, saying that after we were attacked last time, the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and now the new recruits are still being recruited, and the weapons and equipment are not complete, so we cannot send troops to participate in the battle for the time being." ”

"Well, that's fine, the casualties last time are well known, use this as an excuse to refuse, it is estimated that Feng Zhang will not be able to pick out the thorns, and I will send someone to reply when it is dawn." (To be continued.) )
