Song Wei and Wang Jingwu are fighting more and more in Qingzhou, and the wrestling between Song Wen and Wang Jingwen and Wang Jin in Dengzhou is also escalating, but Li Jing feels the most relaxed about this situation.

After defeating the pirates colluded by Wang Jin in Shamen Town, Li Jing felt a rare opportunity. If Lin Wei and the others were dissatisfied with Song Wen knowing that Wang Jin was colluding with the pirates, but he refused to sanction Wang, Li Jing had actually predicted this result a long time ago. Although Li Jing is just a small person in their eyes now, he can see from this incident that whether Ziqing Town is Qingzhou in the center of the shogunate or Dengzhou in this coastal area, in fact, the power of the two factions has reached a time when water and fire are incompatible.

But the more this is the case, the more calm it is before the storm on the surface, and both factions are now accumulating the most powerful strength, and no one is willing to act rashly before they are not sure enough. Li Jing understood at that time that the opportunity for Shamen Town had come. He immediately drew up a plan with the generals, and was ready to take advantage of this extremely rare time to develop in a big way.

Li Jing knew very well that the most important thing needed to build a strong and brand-new town, and at the same time take the opportunity to recruit soldiers and horses to expand the army, was to calm down the days. Tens of thousands of people were recruited to build the city, and more than 4,000 soldiers were expanded, with the participation of almost the whole people, and it took more than half a year to see results in everything at the earliest. Without a safe period of time, Li Jing would not dare to make such a rash move. At present, the faction of the Marshal Mansion and the faction of the Wang family are fighting to the critical juncture, and they have no time to take care of a little person like Li Jing. With a temporary peace agreement reached with Wang Jin and Feng Zhang, Shamen Town had a great opportunity to expand.

A new town can't be built in a day. The new army is not able to recruit soldiers and horses to form combat effectiveness. Take advantage of the delicate situation at the moment. It was a good time to build a city and train troops. In particular, Li Jing is well versed in history. There is not much time, Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao, the madmen in troubled times, will start an incident, and Ziqing Town, which is close to Caozhou and other uprising centers, will inevitably be mobilizing the soldiers and horses in the west in the direction of Qing and Qi, and the Dengzhou area will be the emptiest time at that time. The situation in Dengzhou's balance will be broken, and Li Jing has to be on guard early.

Taking advantage of the fact that the current situation is still stable, Li Jing quietly appeared in Liaohai and joined forces with Zhendonghai to attack the private island of the Feng family. seized a large amount of equipment, money, food and other materials.

On the second day of February, it was early spring, and the rainstorm of last night gradually stopped, and it must have become a tumultuous moderate rain, mixed with occasional violent storms. There is a white rain and fog on the sea, and the wharf of Cat Island is carried by horse-drawn people in cars, and a river is endless, busy. There are more than 1,000 slaves on Dokdo, as well as hundreds of craftsmen and their families on the island. All were called together to transport the captured booty.

In addition to the escorts and the pirates who went to unload on the Nameless Island, the other pirates were all involved in transporting supplies.

Li Jing stood in a small castle on the side of the pier and looked out at the sea. The walls and floors of the fort were covered with stains of red blood that had not dried. Watching the piles of materials being loaded and transported away, Li Jing's mood is happy but nervous now.

It was already early afternoon, but the fifty or so ships, plus even the thirty or so small boats, had all lowered the sea to load supplies together, but after two consecutive trips, they still only loaded a little more than half of the cargo. Originally, the materials found yesterday were almost the same after two trips, but later, during the interrogation before the execution of those guards and the people of the Feng clan, several secret warehouses were interrogated, which contained a lot of brass, lead, tin and other things for coinage, and these raw materials added up to nearly 200,000 catties, which could mint 30,000 or 40,000 yuan of private money.

In addition, the previous plans were all the materials stored in those warehouses, and these seizures were all those of Whitebeard and Li Jing. When the pirates were cleaning the city, they also took off a large amount of armor from the dead guards, confiscated a lot of weapons, and many crossbow beds removed from the city. They also ransacked the whole city, and copied out the property of every household in the city, and accumulated a lot, and the materials that were copied out after the most were counted in bits and pieces, although they were not as valuable as those things in the previous warehouse, but the space to be occupied was not small, and the fleet had to make four trips back and forth to carry the goods. After transporting the goods, you have to transport the pirates, slaves, and craftsmen together, and you have to make another trip.

After a trip of two hours, Li Jing calculated that it would take at least three hours, and by the time he left the island at the last time, it would almost be dusk.

In the long three hours, Li Jing and the others could only pray that the patrol boats in the town of Tuli would not come because of the bad weather.

In the midst of this tense transportation, Whitebeard also sent several speedboats to spread out for miles in all directions, and sent a few of his capable men to the vicinity of the port of Duli Town to closely observe the movements of the fleet. Once Duli Town found out about the situation here, Li Jing and the others had no choice but to abandon these materials and flee for their lives.

Fortunately, there has been no movement at the port of Duli Town, and the patrol boats that were supposed to appear in the afternoon did not appear as scheduled. When this news came, everyone on the island breathed a sigh of relief and rejoiced. A beautiful victory on the island, with countless supplies captured. Tens of thousands of pieces of gold and silver, hundreds of thousands of pieces of silk fabrics, and those staggering amounts of frosting, tea, pepper, spices, and so on. Everything is of astonishing value, and it finally comes to the mouth, and at this time it is the most reluctant to spit it out.

Not only were the pirates unwilling, but Li Jing was even more unwilling. Now that the new city is under full construction, and the 4,000 new troops are also in intense training, no matter where they need a lot of money, Li Jing has to calculate the price of everything he sees now. Now that he has finally gained such a large amount of money, how can he be willing to give up after the worst?

Even Wang Chong, Zhang Chengzong, and Liu Shouqian didn't expect this matter to go so smoothly. Wang Dazhong asked Li Jing with a smile: "What is the happiest fourth brother now?" ”

"There has been no movement in Duli Town so far, and we can transport all the harvest this time." Li Jing didn't think twice, "What does the third brother think?" ”

"With this money, the construction of our new town will be smoother, and our new army will be more secure." Wang Zhong also did not hesitate.

The two laughed loudly in unison.

Liu Shouqian said: "Not only that, but we not only recaptured the 1,000 sets of ordnance this time, but also shared hundreds of pairs of horizontal knives, spears, leather armor, horn bows, etc., as well as the three hundred high-grade war horses. ”

yes, yes. Li Jing smiled all over his face, thinking to himself, not only that, but also the thousands of slaves, which can also increase the population of the island. There are also twenty ships that will be exchanged for the east sea of Hezhen, which is also a strong bargaining chip across the sea.

"Third brother, have the casualties of each team been counted?" After laughing, Li Jing asked an important question.

Speaking of this, Wang Chong's mood was also a little heavy. Although it was known that every time a battle was fought, brothers would inevitably die and shed blood, but every time the soldiers counted the casualties, it was a heavy moment. The comrades who were still training and laughing with him a moment ago became just a cold number on the casualty book in the blink of an eye.

"In this battle, the brothers of the reconnaissance capital made a great contribution, they infiltrated the fort and successfully opened the city gates, saving us from the damage of the attack. However, the reconnaissance itself suffered many casualties. A hundred brothers burst into the fort, and the enemy found out at the last moment, and fought a bloody battle with them, and held out until we entered the city. After the count, eleven people were killed in battle, including Ding Ren, the deputy of the team. Seven were seriously injured, including team deputy Zhao Jiang with a disabled hand. Minor injuries such as Duan Shan and the Fifth Shu are brought by everyone. ”

Li Jing nodded, 11 casualties of 100 people, more than 10 percent, 7 serious injuries, also close to 10 percent, plus one casualty figure reached 18 percent, nearly 20 percent. This figure is not proportional to the record they have set. But in Li Jing's eyes, this is still a heavy blow. The reconnaissance is all one out of ten, one out of a hundred elites, and this time it is the elite of the elite in the reconnaissance capital, but the first battle still damaged so many brothers. It is not easy to train a soldier, but it is easy to lose it on the battlefield.

"What about the Xiao family?" Li Jing asked.

Speaking of the casualties of the Xiao family, Wang Chong had a taste of schadenfreude, "The ten gentlemen of the Xiao family brought a hundred people, these people are not as strong as our reconnaissance capital, and since they entered the city after the city gate was opened, the damage was not great. I counted it, and the Xiao family killed seven in the battle and seriously injured three, and those three are estimated to be unable to survive. In total, it is much smaller than our battle loss. It's the ten gentlemen, I can't see that there is still a set, and there is not a single casualty. I don't know if they really have the ability, or if they hid behind their families during the war. ”

After reporting the casualties, Wang Chong frowned and asked: "I don't understand something, our coming this time is an extremely confidential matter, and there are not even a few people in Shamen Town who know the Tao, why did the fourth brother bring the Xiao family with him." In this way, wouldn't they all know the secrets between us and Zhen Donghai? ”

"It's a no-brainer, and I made a decision after careful consideration." Li Jing said.

"What does it mean to be indispensable? Obviously, no. The relationship with Zhen Donghai is very secret, once it is revealed, we may be wiped out by Wang Jin, Feng Zhang and others in an instant, and even Song Wen and them will not be able to save us at that time. We're not sealing them, we're just insignificant now, and the lives of tens of thousands of people on the island are now in the hands of the general? Generals should be vigilant and self-examining, and they will suffer a great loss if they are drowsy. Wang Chong's tone was very stern, and he no longer called his private brothers, but called him a general. (To be continued.) )
