One Piece: In the Name of the Father

Chapter 237 Actively prepare for battle
Since Xiaohe Territory offended the big slave traders, overseas trade has basically been cut off. No matter how convenient the two good ports of Megan Port and Shipwreck Port are, they are useless.

Of course, it's not completely cut off. After all, the secret of Xinsheng Port's passage is still Xiao Heling's own secret, which is unknown to outsiders.

Regardless of whether it was a unified war or a local skirmish, Xinsheng Port has never stopped merchant ships from sailing to sea.

It's just that it's no longer as large as before, but a very small batch, and more of it is a preparation for Longying to investigate overseas information.

Naturally, Green Snake Island is the first destination they will arrive at.

Moreover, Matsurize was extremely suspicious that the big bosses of overseas slave traders would come to retaliate, so in the past few months, the Xiaoheling merchant ships going overseas were full of Longying's agents of the Longzi brand.

So when one after another slave trader bosses brought their slave army to Green Snake Island and more and more warships piled up at the port of Green Snake Island, all these scenes fell on Longying's eyes. In the eyes of the spies of Dragon Brand.

"Dragon Bone, the lord guessed correctly, there really are enemies about to attack!"

"Arowana, you are the one who is stupid, but I have never doubted the wisdom of the lord!"

"Okay, stop arguing, and report to the higher authorities!"

This is a group of three agents from the Longying brand. On Green Snake Island at this time, there are five or six more groups of agents from the Dragon brand like this combination!

"My lord, the spies have come to report that the enemy on Green Snake Island is coming, and they are constantly gathering troops there, ready to march towards my Songbai Island!"

Although Song Rize had guessed this result long ago, he was actually unwilling to face it, because the current Xiaohe collar, or Songbai Island in other words, is waiting to be rebuilt.

His underage children are giving him ten years, even if it is only three or five years, he will not be afraid of the situation like today!

"Melon, what are the current positions of the Xiaohe army?"

Mellon resigned from the post of commander in chief of the army. At this time, he is taking up idle positions, acting as a teacher in the Young Tiger Camp and Matsu Rize's house, and helping Matsu Rize handle some government and military affairs.

It seems that he is not as free and easy as before, and he is not as high and powerful as before, but many people envy Mellon at this time.

You must know that Xiaoheling is about to establish a state, it is not a small place, and with Mellon's original status, it is almost falling out of the superstructure.

But at this time, he is advancing with retreat. Although his position is not as important or as high as before, he still has to deal with a lot of annoying things.

But now, Mellon has indeed re-entered the superstructure and stayed by Matsurize's side for a long time, more frequently than Longying's chief executive and Abin, the royal steward of the Matsurize family. up.

"Report to the lord, the total number of troops led by me, Xiaohe, is 3000, which is divided into the [-] Xiaohe Army and the [-] Guard Army.

Three thousand guards followed the Lord at all times, and they were always around Xiaohe City.

As for the [-] Xiaohe Army, [-] Xiaohe Army also stationed around Xiaohe City just like the guards.

The remaining [-] Xiaohe troops, led by the Eldest Young Master and the Fourth Young Master, were stationed near Shipwreck Port and Megan Port.

The eldest son is guarding the shipwreck port, and is currently training the army around the shipwreck county and the eldest son county.

The Fourth Young Master stayed at Megan Harbor and stationed around Megan Harbor. "

Mellon still knew the information very well, and told Matsurize in every detail.

"Order to order Matsurize-Gerald and Matsurize-Allen to rectify the combat situation at their own ports and actively prepare for war.

By the way, send me all the artillery newly researched by the Gun Bureau to these two ports.

Remember, [-]% is shipped to Shipwreck Port and [-]% is shipped to Megan Port.

And, order to go on, intensify efforts to produce muskets and artillery, as well as their shells and ammunition. "

Mellon is like a secretary. Everything Matsurizawa ordered is recorded, and then transferred to various places below.

Matsurize specifically ordered that the artillery and other materials be transported to the Shipwreck Port one layer higher than the Megan Port. This is not to favor any son, but because the Shipwreck Port is more difficult to defend than the Megan Port and requires more defensive forces.

"Abin, tell the spies of the Longzihao to follow the enemy's large army closely and find out where the enemy will attack and land.

My more than 2 troops can support which direction. "

Although at present, the terrain of the shipwreck port is the most conducive to the enemy's landing battle, but everything is uncertain. The 3000 to [-] troops currently led by Xiaohe in Xiaohe City, the capital, still have to target the enemy's actions. Make corresponding response.

Matsurize ordered Melon to go down and give Gerald and Allen this order to actively prepare for the war, which was sent to Gerald, because Allen has always been on Megan Port, and all the people in Megan Port The defensive measures and weapons and equipment have already been refurbished by him, and there is no need to remind him again, just to inform him that the enemy will definitely come to Songbai Island.

Of course, this is not to say that Gerald is so lax and arrogant that he did not put the protection measures of the port in advance like his fourth brother Allen did.

Gerald just had a different concept from others. He firmly believed that war, no matter what kind of war it was, depended on people, not on fortifications and weapons.

The [-] troops led by Gerald were not just wandering around the Changzi County and the Shipwreck County, but were holding large-scale military training in the entire east of Songbai Island.

The messengers from Xiaohe City searched for several days before they found Gerald's camp of the Chinese army in a valley outside Sunken Ship City.

After Gerald received his father's order, knowing that there would be an enemy attack and a high probability of attacking the Shipwreck Port, he naturally would not continue to train troops in the wilderness.

Immediately, Gerald issued an order that all the scattered Xiaohe army sergeants marched to the location of the Shipwreck Harbor Barracks and assembled at the Shipwreck Harbor Barracks.

This order will be serious. Originally, people in the two areas of Shipwreck County and Zhangzi County hadn't noticed Gerald's big military training.

But at this time, as soon as the urgent order of marching was issued, the sergeants of the Xiaohe army who were hiding in the dense forests of various valleys got out one after another, walked to the main road, and headed towards the shipwreck port.

Megan Harbor, Alan, who also received his father's order, did not sit idle either.

He is now doing things more and more cautiously. The protection measures of Megan Harbor were already tight enough, and he continued to search for its loopholes, and also found a location for the follow-up artillery and other materials.
