"Now let me announce the appointment, the captain of the Blood Killing Guard is Tu Ling, and the head of the Military Intelligence Department is Hu Yuan, and the previous rules remain the same" Ming Jiutian nodded with satisfaction after speaking, it was originally the two major forces controlled by the Tu and Hu families, and now it is back in the hands of these two families, thinking that the two families should not have any doubts about this decision.

"Okay, Tian'er, this Tianmu Island is very big, and there are many secrets going inside, I'll tell you little by little" The old marshal turned around and led the way.

"Hmm" Ming Jiutian replied, keeping up with his grandfather's pace.

"The next place we are going to is my Ming family's military industry, the production here has not stopped all these years, the ordnance reserve here is still more than enough to arm another three million people, if there is a war, we can prepare all the military materials needed in a short time, you have to know everything here," the old marshal told while introducing.

"The closest to us is the shipyard, there are a total of seventeen shipyards here, an average of one large warship is produced in half a year, one medium warship is one every three months, and one small warship is a month, at present, the Dongping Navy has more than 2,800 large and small warships, but there are only more than 1,300 to the outside world, and the rest are secrets, don't you see that there is a bay there? All the warships that have been built are moored there, and the most important thing is that our shipbuilding industry will continue to go on, and when it is put into use, it is really impossible to say how many there will be. Hu Zhan said that Hu Zhan has been responsible for all the affairs of the shipyard for so many years, and it can be said that he has made great contributions to the Ming family.

"And that's not the main thing, seeing these workers who are busy all the time? They are the Sea Clan," Hu Zhan continued.

"Sea Clan? Is it the Sea Clan who was slaughtered by the Radiant Empire overnight? Wu Jianfeng asked in surprise.

"You've heard of the Sea Clans, too?" Hu Zhan asked.

"I remember reading a book when I was a child, which recorded some information about the Sea Tribe, and it was rumored that the Sea Tribesmen were descendants of the sea, they were born to know how to survive on the sea, and they had the best shipbuilding technology in the whole continent, but it seemed to have offended the royal family of the Huiyao Empire, and the Emperor of the Huiyao Empire at that time killed all the people in a fit of rage, and the Sea Tribesmen recorded in the book have been wiped out, how can they appear here?" Wu Jianfeng said in surprise.

"When we just opened up this island, there was a marshal who went to sea to inspect the defense, and happened to meet the survivors who escaped in the incident of the sea tribe's extermination, at first the marshal did not know that they were sea tribesmen, but he was moved by compassion, so he rescued them, and as a result, they settled on the island, after so many years of recuperation, they are now recovering quite well, almost tens of thousands of people, it just so happens that we are planning to build a ship that year, and they happen to have qualified capabilities, Therefore, joining this ranks unconditionally can be regarded as repaying the marshal for saving his life back then," Hu Zhan explained.

"But I heard that the Huiyao Empire has been chasing and killing the Sea Clansmen, if they knew that the rest of the Sea Clansmen were all here, according to the arrogant and domineering character of the Huiyao Empire, it is estimated that they would immediately raise troops and go straight to Dongping Mansion," Wu Jianfeng analyzed.

"So the secret here is not to be told to outsiders, you all have to remember it," Hu Zhan admonished.

"It turned out that the marshal and the two generals had arrived, and they had missed the distance, forgive the sins" This is an old man in shorts and naked, who is about sixty or seventy years old.

"The sea patriarch is polite, is it okay not to see your health for many days?" The marshal greeted with concern.

"It's just an old bone, and the marshal is worried about it," said the sea patriarch with a smile.

"Come, let me introduce, this is the current patriarch of the Sea Clan, Hai Lao, this is my grandson, everything here will be handed over to him in the future," the old marshal introduced.

"Boy, I've seen Hai Lao in Ming Jiutian," Ming Jiutian greeted politely.

"It turned out that the young marshal was here, disrespectful," the Sea Patriarch responded.

"Sea Patriarch, tell me how many ships will be built in two years at the current rate?" The old marshal asked.

"It's hard to say, if the conditions are stable, it's still okay to build another five hundred searches in two years, is it going to war with the Radiant Empire? These are crazy devils, and they will not die well sooner or later," said the sea patriarch, as if he was angry with something, and he gasped for breath.

"Sea Patriarch, I have heard about your Sea Clan, I don't know what the specific reason is?" Ming Jiutian asked.

"Back then, in order to dominate the continent, the royal family of the Radiance Empire set their sights on the shipbuilding technology of our Sea Tribe, and wanted to enslave us to build ships for them, and we Sea Tribesmen have been living on the sea, living a life without fighting with the world, and did not want to get involved in the war, so they refused the request of the Radiance Empire"

"Later, when they saw that we didn't agree to help them, they set their sights on the treasure of my Sea Clan, that is, shipbuilding, so they sent someone to snatch it, it was something left by the ancestors, how could we allow it to fall into the hands of outsiders?"

"As a result, a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides, and our Sea Clan had a population of nearly one million in its heyday, but the group of devils of the Radiance Empire, regardless of men, women, and children, as long as they saw it, killed them directly, and in order to preserve the continuation of the blood of the Sea Clan, we broke through in several ways, but in the end, only my branch succeeded in breaking through."

"That's nearly a million people, all of them were slaughtered by the Radiance Empire, and only a few thousand people managed to escape, so if it is a war with the Radiance Empire, if you can take the warship we built to fight Huiyao, it can be regarded as avenging my Sea Clan" Every time the Radiance Empire was mentioned, the Sea Patriarch would cry sadly.

Ming Jiutian's heart is also a little sour, many times it is like this, there are obviously many things that he can't dodge, but he just finds himself, and fate makes people.

"The Sea Patriarch must not be too sad, I will have a battle with Hui Yao sooner or later, and when the time comes, I will definitely let this group of arrogant and domineering Hui Yao people taste the power of the Sea Clan warship," the old marshal comforted.

The crowd walked in, through the shipbuilding area and beyond to the smelting area, and before they arrived, they heard the sound of clanging iron.

After a while, there was a small blacksmith workshop that stretched for I don't know how far, in short, standing here with no end in sight, the person in charge here is named Iron Leopard.

The variety of weapons produced here every day is unknown, just talking about feather arrows are too many to count, this is not the key, the most important thing is that the people here know how to build artillery, artillery is not a casual blacksmith can be built.

The technology is different, the range, power, and durability of the artillery are different, although the artillery is powerful, but it is okay to deal with ordinary soldiers, if it is a master, I am afraid that the power is still not good.

"The little leopard has seen the marshal and the two generals, hehe..."

"Little leopard, where's your grandfather?" The old marshal asked.

"Grandpa is old, and he rarely comes here on weekdays, so this should be at home to cool off," Iron Leopard said.

Ming Jiutian carefully observed the image of this iron leopard, which was a bit too much, no matter how he looked at his round face, he looked like a fat man, but looking at the muscles on his body and every piece of his body were raised high, and he saw that the iron leopard's arms were thicker than his thighs.

It is a feeling full of power, but this height is a little too short, it is estimated that it is only a little more than one and a half meters tall, so intuitively it feels like a meat ball to Ming Jiutian, maybe it is the relationship of peers, young people always like to stare at each other when they meet.
