Great Song Pirate

Chapter 324 Going North to Yangma Island (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

The fleet of the Fubo Army left Sizao Village before dawn, and sailed to the far sea. Everyone on board was elated and excited. This was their first battle this year, and it was also the happiest. In the first battle, everyone felt that they showed their faces in front of Xu Yi, and that they did not embarrass the Fubo army.

And Xu Yi was also very happy. This kind of feeling of copying people's old nest is really good. In one day, he took all of Sun Cheng's gains for one year, which added a lot of financial resources to the future development of Fubo Army. A shipment of goods, but the return is more than dozens of times the value of that shipment of goods. If this kind of business can be done several times, will you worry about not having enough money in the future?
But at the same time, he also felt guilty for the little girl he killed with his own hands. Before leaving, he ordered someone to carry the little girl's body out of the house, and buried it in a remote place outside. I remember the name of this little girl. No one even knows that there was such a person in the world. No one will feel heartache for her when she dies, but the fear, doubt, puzzlement, and begging of the little girl when she is dying... That kind of complex gaze was deeply imprinted in Xu Yi's heart, casting a shadow over his joy of victory this time. This was the first time he killed an innocent person with his own hands. If he If he didn't feel anything, then he wouldn't be Xu Yi!

When everyone in the fleet thought they could go back home, the fleet unexpectedly received an order from the Pioneer to continue sailing north, so everyone was a little confused, the revenge that should be reported has been avenged Well, Sun Cheng, who should be killed, has already been killed. Continue to the north?What are you going to do?

Although everyone was full of suspicion, no one discussed or questioned them, because the Fubo Army has been instilling in them for a long time that obedience is the bounden duty of soldiers. If you don't want to, just follow the arrangement.

Immediately after the fleet went out to sea, under the leader of Kai Kai, they continued to sail towards the north in a mighty way. Fortunately, the supplies and fresh water on board were very sufficient, so there was no danger of running out of food.

In fact, before coming out this time, Xu Yi had already made arrangements in this regard. The sea off Huainan East Road had not yet formed the coast of later generations in the Song Dynasty. There are many islands in the west, and there are very few islands in the outer sea here, which is also the main reason why Sun Cheng did not go out to sea to occupy the islands as hegemony, because there are basically no decent islands for him to choose from in the outer seas of Huainan East Road, so he had no choice but to find one on land. They hid in the local area, but it also caused a lot of trouble for Xu Yi. Their fleet was too ostentatious, and they could not dock for supplies without authorization. Therefore, when they left Dulong Island, each ship had enough supplies to prevent shortages on the way. Case.

The only people who knew the purpose of his trip were a handful of people on the Pioneer, and without notifying the ships in advance, his purpose was to test the obedience consciousness of his subordinates and see if they could obey the deployment. It seems that the members of the Fubo Army have already formed the habit of obeying. Looking at the following fleet, Xu Yi was completely relieved when he saw that no ship took the initiative to ask about the purpose of going north this time.

"My lord, should we tell the brothers the purpose of this trip?" Miao Fang bowed and asked Xu Yi for instructions.

"Well! Order the fleet to slow down, and call the captains of all ships to discuss matters on the Pioneer!" Xu Yi nodded in agreement.

As the semaphore issued his command, the entire fleet immediately slowed down, and all the ships put down their sampans one after another, and the captains of the ships came to the side of the Pioneer, and all the captains gathered in the large cabin of the Pioneer. middle.

"Everyone must be very surprised why we didn't return to Dulong Island! Now I will tell you the purpose of this trip. The purpose of our trip is not only Sun Cheng, but he is our first problem to solve. There is an important purpose, which is to push our power northward again, since we have already controlled the sea area of ​​Liangzhe Road and a part of Fujian Road, why can't we go further north?" Xu Yi finally Said another purpose of his trip.

The captains of the ships in the cabin all showed surprise expressions, but no one asked questions immediately, and they all looked at Xu Yi happily, waiting to hear what he would say next.

Xu Yi knew what they were thinking just by seeing their expressions, so he said with a smile: "I know you are not peaceful people, many of you were promoted to captain last year, but you have been idle in Dulong Island all the time. The daily drills are non-stop, but there is nothing to do. I have long known that you want to have the opportunity to work hard like other brothers who are everywhere, and you have not been waiting for a long time. This time With this opportunity, you can show your strengths and create a new field for our Fubo army. In fact, I have already started thinking about this matter a few months ago when we came out this time. The peers have been very lively recently, now it's time for us to step in and let them see how powerful our Fubo Army is, but to what extent we can do it depends on the ability of Miao Fang and everyone. This time I will only take you there, and I will return to Dulong Island, and the rest will be up to you! Do you have confidence?"

Everyone in the cabin got up immediately, bowed in unison and shouted: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will surely live up to my high expectations!" When they came out to do things, they were afraid that they would have nothing to do. Now that Xu Yi finally gave them this chance, how could these people be unhappy?
"Everyone, don't be too happy. The situation here is no better than ours in the south. This place is new to us, and we are not familiar with the place. I think it was very difficult and even dangerous to supply at the beginning, and there are various pirate forces here. , you may face the danger of being attacked by others at any time, and you must not relax at all. Only if you stand firm here, will your life be easier in the future. Also, although there are not as many merchant ships here as there are in the south, there are many places in Jiaozhou, Shandong, and Michigan. Zhouzhou has always been a place where sea merchants from the north and the south gather. Most of the ships from the South China Sea and the vassals come here to unload and then transfer to Liao. Passage, the terrain is very dangerous, so please don't be contemptuous, and you must not lose the reputation of our Fubo army!" Xu Yi then reminded them that everything can be done well if you have courage. You need to be fully mentally prepared.

It was only at this time that everyone in the cabin woke up from the excitement just now, so they hurriedly bowed and said they didn't dare.

Xu Yi asked everyone to sit down, and then told them about the situation here in detail. Now because there are many exiles in various parts of Shandong, and the northern border is not stable. There are more than a dozen pirate forces in China, not counting those small groups of pirates who make a living by fishing in peacetime, and fishermen who meet sea boats and make a fortune from time to time. Their forces are complex, far exceeding those in the southern coastal areas. On the land, there are also wars and bandits, and there are not many usable islands here. It may be very difficult to gain a foothold here. Xu Yi once again reminded them to be prepared.

Everyone nodded in agreement, so they put away their initial contempt.

"Are there any people from the coast of Shandong among you?" Xu Yi suddenly asked these captains.

"Subordinate Liu Jin was born in Muping in his early years! Later, he offended a big family in our area, so he had to escape to Liangzhe, and later he belonged to the master!" A captain quickly got up and stood up.

"Mouping? Where is the Mouping you mentioned?" Xu Yi didn't remember where Mouping was for a while.

"Returning to my lord, Mouping is in the east of Dengzhou, under the jurisdiction of Dengzhou, and it is also a place near the sea!" This Liu Jin quickly replied.

Xu Yi finally remembered this Mu Ping, so he said with a smile: "I'm not very familiar with the situation here, I'm making you laugh. Since Liu Jin is from Shandong, I think you must be very familiar with the situation here. I want to hear, if we lay down our forces in the north, where do you think we should choose to settle?"

Liu Jin immediately replied: "My subordinates think that if we want to settle here, the area around Jiaozhou is not suitable. There are a large number of imperial navy troops stationed here, and there are also many troops stationed on land. There are not too many islands nearby. It is suitable for us to station. If we want to control the north-south sea passage, it is better to choose an island other than our hometown. There is a horse breeding island outside Muping. It is small, and the sea in front of the island is wide and calm, and the reef behind the island is very dangerous. Once occupied, it can be guarded according to the island. In addition, it is not too far from the land. There is Salmon Island to the west, and there is even more It is suitable for garrisoning. There are dozens of large and small islands in Shamen Island, many of which can be used for garrisoning. Take the whole area as the target, choose one or several islands to occupy!"

Most of these people in the cabin are from the south, and they are not familiar with the situation here. After listening to Liu Jin's words, everyone nodded, thinking that what Liu Jin said should be good.

Xu Yi also laughed: "Liu Jin is really familiar with the place! I think you must be homesick and want us to stay in front of your house. It will be much more convenient for you to go home now!"

Everyone in the cabin immediately laughed. Liu Jin rubbed the back of his head and laughed for a while, then honestly replied: "It's been a long time since I said this, and I'm really homesick. It would be nice if I could go back this time. I have a lot of friends, as long as I go to say hello, I will definitely attract many friends to join the lord!"

Xu Yi immediately made a final decision and said: "Since Liu Jin is homesick, let's go straight to Muping this trip and see how Yangma Island is going before we talk about it!"
