Xiao Yan paused, and instructed Zhang Yi, Liu Yuan, and He Dayou to set off for Huzhou the next day to rectify and make preparations for possible pirate invasion.

He also asked Luo Dahu's navy to set up immediately to keep an eye on the important entrances and exits of Taihu Lake, and report immediately if they found the whereabouts of the Eastern Japanese pirates.

Finally, after arranging some details, it was over.

In the next 20 days, there was still no news of the Eastern Japanese pirates.

Xiao Yan didn't pay too much attention, but his vigilance still didn't relax. The armored ship was the main patrol force, and the diesel had been changed three times.

The fuel tank of the armored ship is very large, and it can travel [-] kilometers with one full charge of diesel, which shows its cruising strength.

The various constructions of the Big and Small Golden Islands are still in full swing, and there is no delay due to the news that the Eastern Japanese pirates are about to attack.

The islanders are not afraid of the Eastern Japanese pirates at all, because they have the champion who is the best in the whole army.

Xiao Yan was also busy, running back and forth between Suzhou Mansion and Dajin Island.

News came from the Huzhou government that Zhang Yi and Liu Yuan had completely controlled the government in the lake. Of course, the process was not smooth.

A few gentry who considered themselves somewhat basic did not pay attention to the two new airborne officials, and made things difficult and sabotaged everywhere.

After Xiao Yan heard about it, he directly accused these people of destabilizing and seriously interfering with the plan led by the Suzhou government to fight against the Eastern Japanese pirates.

All were dispatched to Xiaojindao and joined the glorious construction army.

The Huzhou Guard is progressing smoothly, with a full staff of 600 people and two months of intensive training before it can officially become an army.

*********************
In the East China Sea, somewhere on an island.

Sato Shiro angrily chopped down a coffee table, "Bastard! When did Beiliang build so many large ships? Several plans to harass Beiliang have failed!"

Beiliang has always been fighting immediately, and has never paid much attention to the construction of the navy.

In fact, it can't be said that they didn't pay attention to it. The main reason was that there was too much resistance in the army, and the soldiers were completely unfamiliar with water. They once formed a navy army and were killed by the Eastern Japanese pirates.

From then on, the Eastern Japanese pirates would go to Beiliang to plunder.

And Daning has always attached great importance to the navy, and the combat power of the navy is not bad. Although the Eastern Japanese pirates will harass them from time to time, they are much less than Beiliang.

Although both are soft persimmons in general, the one in the north is softer. In comparison, the Eastern Japanese pirates will naturally choose the softer one to bully and bully more.

But now, this softer persimmon has hardened. Not only has the navy's combat power been greatly enhanced, but even more than a dozen large ships have been built.

Sato Shiro and his group of pirates suffered a lot because of this.

No, a large-scale raid just organized lost more than 100 subordinates, which made Sato Shiro not panic.

None of the other pirates in the wooden house dared to go up to dissuade them, because this Sato Shiro had a very violent temper, and he would cut him down if he was not careful.

A pirate in his 30s came forward and said:
"Fourth brother, big brother has sent people here again. There are many wars in the island country. Our Sato family is now under the enemy's back and forth, and we are in short supply of clothes and food. If this continues, many people may not be able to survive this winter!"

Although Sato Shiro was irritable, he would not kill his younger brother, "Do you think I don't know this? All three attacks failed, all because the damn Beiliang people are too cunning! Very cunning!"

Sato Goro: "Fourth brother, didn't Daning send someone here? Why didn't we agree to their conditions? Besides, the person to be killed this time is the Xiao Yan who killed the sixth brother!"

Sato Shiro shook his head impatiently, "If it wasn't for you, I would have killed that messenger long ago instead of imprisoning him! If it wasn't for their inaccurate information, the sixth brother would not have died!"

"But their conditions are very good. They provide us with [-] shi of rice and thousands of sets of armor. This is very important to our Sato family! Is the fourth brother going to ignore the interests of the family?"

Sato Goro is still persuading.

The expression on Sato Shiro's face kept changing, and after a long time, he said slowly, "Of course I won't disregard the interests of the family, but it's really hard to accept losing to Beiliang like this..."

Sato Goro knew that the fourth brother wanted to save face, so he persuaded him: "Fourth brother, we still have more than 4000 people and more than 30 boats! Moreover, the island country warriors account for the vast majority. Isn't it easy to kill Xiao Yan? Avenging him and avenging the Sixth Brother, if we come to Beiliang to find the place again, wouldn't we kill two birds with one stone?"

Sato Shiro suddenly burst out laughing, "It's better for the fifth brother to do it! Hahahaha! Let's do it like this! Let's go to Daning tomorrow!"

*********************
"Xiaojindao prison is well built, how many cells are there?"

Xiao Yan inspected Xiaojindao today, and the first stop was Xiaojindao Prison.

As the first prison officer of Xiaojindao Prison personally appointed by Xiao Yan, Zhou Dahai accompanied him all the way.

"Master Hou, it can accommodate 5000 people!"

Xiao Yan looked into the distance: "There are almost [-] prisoners at present, we must hurry up and find an island nearby, and build a bigger prison than this!"

Zhou Dahai was amazed, Lord Hou thought it was not enough, but this is a prison with 5000 people!In Daning, it is said to be the second, and there is absolutely no other prison that dares to call it the first.

"Uh...Master Hou, but where did so many prisoners come from? Xiaojindao Prison doesn't know what can fill it..."

Obviously, he has no confidence.

Xiao Yan smiled mysteriously, and said, "Ocean! The layout should be enlarged a bit. Don't worry, no matter how big the prison cell you build, I can fill it up for you!"

Zhou Dahai nodded blankly, "Ugh! This subordinate must obey Master Hou's order and start to do it tomorrow! Anyway, the construction of the two islands is almost done recently, so we can't let this bunch of rubbish sit idle and eat and drink for nothing!"

The more he talked about it, the more he felt sorry for Xiao Yan's money. The food and clothing of 3000 people was by no means a small amount, and it was not worth wasting on this group of rubbish.

Xiaojindao is not small, only a little smaller than Dajindao.

Moreover, there are more gentle areas on Xiaojin Island, so the usable space is much larger than Dajin Island.

The reason why the lake bandits used Dajin Island as their base camp was because of the complex terrain and many caves on Dajin Island.

Now that Er Dao is in Xiao Yan's hands, he doesn't think so.

Both islands are equally important. Anyway, there are countless materials such as cement, bricks and stones, and there are so many free labor available.

A successful island protection wall is enough to laugh at the world today.

Let alone attacking such a high and thick cement wall from the water, even on land, it is by no means an easy task.
