At the mention of the harvest, everyone's mood immediately soared. Once captured a private island of the Feng family, this harvest even the giant thieves who had been crisscrossing the Liaohai Sea for decades couldn't help but smile.

An unprecedented harvest, the Feng family has been operating on Cat Island for fifty years, turning him into a private transit station close to the port of Duli Town. The merchant ships from the Feng family to Duli Town directly unloaded the goods on Cat Island, and the goods that the Feng family was preparing to transport back to Datang from Liaodong and other places were also transported to Cat Island in advance. In this way, the fleet can come and go quickly every time, without delay. And it is safer to put these goods on the island first.

It's just that the Feng family would never have thought that their private island, which they thought was more convenient and safer than the port of Duli Town, would be quietly captured overnight.

"How's the catch? Is the inventory out? Whitebeard asked with a smile.

Yellowbeard also smiled and said, "It should be almost, it is estimated that Mr. Zhao and Mr. Wang will come over to report soon." "Mr. Zhao and Mr. Wang are the two tall and thin old men who Li Jing had seen in the camp before, and both of them were in their early fifties. It is said that both of them used to be Han Chinese living near Beisha City, and their families worked and read heirlooms, and read poetry and books. It's a pity that later, the Goguryeo people in the mountains of Liaozhong robbed the villages in southern Liaoning, and their villages were robbed, and they were burned clean by Goguryeo thieves at the end. Many people traveled south, preparing to float back to Dengzhou and return to the Tang Dynasty. However, the two were robbed by Zhendonghai at sea, and Whitebeard saw that the two of them were dressed in Confucian robes, Si Swenwen, and the last half of the most forcibly recruited the two to be staff managers. The two were a little reluctant to be thieves at first, but later saw that Zhen Donghai was not a thief without a way. Gradually, I joined it.

Less than a moment passed. Mr. Zhao and Mr. Wang rushed to the hall. As soon as the two entered the hall, they immediately shouted to Whitebeard with a smile on their faces: "Big boss." Great harvest, unprecedented harvest. It's been preliminarily counted, and the results of this battle are unbelievable. ”

"Tell me quickly, how much money and food, how much treasure, how much weapons?" Whitebeard asked with a smile.

According to the inventory, this battle captured Cat Island Castle and opened thirty-six warehouses. In addition, there is a secret room in the basement of the castle and a private money coinage. A total of 120,000 copper coins were seized, 8,546 wen yuan, 11,000 taels of silver, and 3,000 taels of gold. In addition, there were 370,000 horses of silk, 400,000 horses of linen, 7,000 horses of silk, and 5,000 horses of mirror silk. In addition, 300 stones of tea, 500 stones of pepper, 800 stones of frosting sugar, and 100 stones of various spices were also copied. ”

Mr. Zhao's voice trembled with excitement as he recited, and the richness of this harvest was shocking. When he led people to open the closed warehouses, his heart couldn't bear the surprise.

He then recited, "Also." It was also found that there were 1,000 boxes of celadon, totaling more than 20,000 pieces. And two large granaries were found on the island. There are 5,000 stones of soybeans, 8,000 stones of wheat, 3,000 stones of rice, 5,000 stones of millet, and 5,000 stones of sorghum. ”

Hearing this pen number, Li Jing, Whitebeard and the others were all smiling, but then they all frowned. Not counting the others, these warehouses alone add up to 26,000 stones. Although it is a joy to have so much food, how can it be transported? Time was pressing, half of the eighteen ships in the east sea of Zhendong were warships, and only half were converted from merchant ships, and the total carrying capacity was just close to 10,000 stones. If you remove the necessary shipwrights to drive the ship, you can carry up to 8,000 stone at a time. And that's without counting the more than 1,000 pirates left.

Such a large amount of food made Li Jing give up, and he was really unwilling. After thinking about it with a calm brow, Li Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Although the rain outside is a little lighter now, it is still very heavy. It's still about two hours before dawn, but I don't think the rain will stop for a while, and the patrol boats in Tosato Town may not be so punctual in coming. Why don't we load the grain on a ship now, and temporarily transport it to the nameless island where we were stationed before, and hide the grain there. Eighteen boats, together with all the boats, could carry 8,000 stone at a time, and the grain could be transported away in three trips. ”

Whitebeard didn't care too much about the food, they didn't lack food, and they couldn't understand the urgency of Li Jing's current shortage of money and food, let alone know that the year of the Tang Dynasty would be a year of famine, and the north and the Central Plains would be hungry again. At that time, they didn't know how precious the food would be. In his opinion, more than 20,000 stones of grain cannot be compared with those copper coins, gold and silver, that is, those tea, pepper, spices and frosted sugar, each of which is much more precious than grain.

"Big brother, we also seized more than 30 boats of the Feng family at the dock, these boats are all big and small, but the combined load reaches more than 20,000 stones. We're going to start moving all the ships now, and we're going to be able to carry 30,000 stone at a time. 26,000 stone grain, 1,700 stone spices and tea, silk, linen, silk, silk and silk add up to more than 10,000 stones, as well as gold, silver and copper coins add up to nearly 10,000 stones, these add up to nearly 50,000 stones, as long as we move fast, we can transport them all in two trips. Seeing that Li Jing was unwilling to give up this batch of materials that were hard to come by, Yellowbeard took the initiative to propose to Whitebeard.

"It's an adventure, it's about to dawn, will the rain really continue?" Whitebeard asked.

Li Jing hurriedly called Yuan Hong, and Yuan Hong replied that the rain would fall at least until night.

"Have you thought about loading and unloading? So much cargo is loaded and disembarked from the ship, and the cargo is unloaded here to the island, and then it has to be repeated. Although the time to go back and forth is not long, the loading and unloading time is too long, and it is rain, which makes it more difficult. There is no guarantee that the town of Duri will not find out about this, and if we do, our ships are full of goods and are not even at the docks, what will we do? We're going to be stuck here. ”

"But we can't just spit out the fat in our mouths so easily, this is what the brothers have fought so hard to beat. This deal alone is worth the money we have made in the past few years. Yellowbeard said.

Whitebeard looked at Li Jing, hoping that Li Jing would give up on his own. However, although Li Jing was not fascinated by these money and materials, he was really unwilling to give up all these things at this time. But with one thing of certainty, he had to give it a try. The population of Shamen Town has exceeded 10,000 people, and if you add those who come from all over to work, there are now nearly 20,000 people. What's even more important is that he has now expanded his army in a big way, and he has 4,000 men and horses at once, and he has not even gathered any ordnance yet. Every day after that, when he opened his eyes, he had to fill in a huge amount of money and grain, and Li Jing had to seize the opportunity to hold money and food.

"Okay!" Seeing that Li Jing was silent, Whitebeard had to reluctantly agree, "Leave ten boats at the dock, and all the rest of the boats will be used to load the captured and transported to the nameless island." First far gold, silver, copper coins, then silk and linen and other things, then spices, etc., and finally grain. If time runs out, we can also minimize losses. "In the face of this mountain of seizures, grain is the least valuable in Whitebeard's eyes. If it weren't for Li Jing's insistence, he would definitely not be willing to take the risk of rushing to get these.

Yellowbeard hurriedly went out to direct the shipment of supplies, and Whitebeard continued to ask, "What else do you have to gain?" Have you found Brother Li's ordnance? ”

"Found it, a thousand new sets of ordnance lying in the ordnance warehouse. And in addition to those thousand sets of ordnance, there are also stocks. ”

Hearing that there were other weapons, Whitebeard and Li Jing were both surprised at the same time.

"How many more?"

"Three hundred sets of iron armor, five hundred sets of leather armor, eight hundred horizontal swords, a thousand spears, five hundred longbows, three hundred horn bows, and three hundred feather arrows." Mr. Zhao sighed: "According to the warehouse guard, this batch of ordnance, including the one with General Li, was sent by Feng Zhanggang, and it is said that it was going to be sold to the Goguryeo people. It was originally scheduled to be shipped in three days, but now it is cheaper for us. ”

Li Jing secretly scolded Feng Zhangli in his heart, and then looked at Whitebeard with a smile. In addition to his own part of this batch of ordnance, he also wanted to share a little. He knew that Whitebeard definitely wanted this batch of ordnance, and there was no one who didn't want such equipment.

"How about one and a half?" Whitebeard is also atmospheric. "Three hundred sets of iron armor, a thousand spears, and three hundred horned bows are yours. I will ask for five hundred sets of leather armor, and eight hundred horizontal swords, and five hundred longbows. 300,000 arrows, half for you and half for me. ”

Li Jing thought about it, Zhendonghai is a pirate, and the pirates pay attention to coming and going like the wind, and they are haunted, and they mostly fight sneak attacks and melee combat. They asked for leather armor and horizontal swords and longbows, which suited their tactics. He left himself iron armor and spears and horned bows, which were not bad. This battle was originally dominated by them, Li Jing only sent out 200 people, and he was already very satisfied with so many craftsmen who had to leave before, and now he could still get so many ordnance.

"Thank you for your kindness, thank you below."

"Okay, happy!" The whitebeard laughed, "What else, let's talk about it together." ”

"And three hundred war horses!" Mr. Zhao said with a smile, "In the horse pen behind the fort, there are three hundred, all grassland war horses, each of which is more than four feet tall, weighs six hundred catties, can carry five hundred catties, and the fastest speed is one hundred and eighty miles per hour, and can travel eight hundred miles a day." Absolutely good horse, the best war horse for cavalry. These horses are all good horses that the Feng clan has just bought from the Khitans at a great price, and they cost one hundred and twenty yuan each! ”

When Li Jing heard this, his eyes lit up, and the cavalry men in the various teams of his war camp now didn't even have real war horses. He was having a headache about this matter, and he originally wanted to wait for the war battalion to be equipped with war horses, and he also intended to form a cavalry capital of 200 men separately in the battalion command. But without a horse, he could only put this plan on the paper. Now there are 300 war horses, at least 22 cavalry groups and 264 cavalrymen in the war barracks, and all of them have war horses at once.

Whitebeard saw Li Jing's excited gaze and immediately understood what he meant by wanting these horses. He just laughed a few times, and immediately said, "Since General Li likes these war horses, then you can take them all." You don't have to thank me, my town is a pirate in Donghai, and it's useless to ask for these horses, it's better to give a BMW to the heroes, and I'll hand them all over to you. (To be continued.) )
