The brothers Chen Hu, the Black Mountain Kite, and Chen Bao, the poisonous starling, followed Chao Gai and were discovered to have the ability to tame birds, so they mainly worked in this field. Chen Bao, in particular, recruited many disciples and taught his skills.

After more than a year of accumulation and development, the total number of information personnel in the base camp and various locations is thousands. These people also have more and more apprentices. They specialize in raising and training pigeons, receiving communications, and improving the intelligence network.

Chaojiazhuang, the back mountain of a military center, used to be the headquarters of the Shenji Battalion. Ever since Hong Tianlei Lingzhen and his technicians and their equipment moved to Liangshan, it was applied by the poisonous myna Chen Bao to become a base for cultivating and domesticating homing pigeons.

According to incomplete statistics, there are thousands of homing pigeons in the base. Every month, a group of tame pigeons are sent to various armies and the restaurant system. As long as they build nests in suitable places, they can transmit messages back and forth.

Chen Bao hummed "Missing You Too Much" in his mouth, and the little black beard jumped happily, indicating that he was in a good mood. Holding a bowl and chopsticks, he whistled from time to time and personally fed a group of homing pigeons purchased from Fujian Road with a huge sum of money.

They were dozens of extremely plump pigeons, with feathers as crystal clear as snow and gleaming claws. They were larger than other homing pigeons, and they were wild and aggressive. They kept pecking at the cage and chirping.

"Hey hey hey, baby, little baby, be good..."

Chen Bao loves this job very much and feels that his talents have been put to use. He feeds the pigeons and whistles, laughing strangely and making strange screams from time to time. His obscene and fanatical appearance makes the busy soldiers in the base tremble.

At this time, a sharp roar came from high in the distance. The pigeons that were hovering above the base kept chirping, and they returned home one after another with a whooshing sound in the air. Even the dozens of pigeons purchased with a lot of money were still in high spirits.

They were alive and wild. They immediately shivered when they heard the howling, and some even huddled up and shivered, as if they had encountered a natural enemy.

Chen Bao's whistle suddenly stopped, his smile stiffened, and he raised his head sadly. He often encountered raptors when hunting. Usually he would chase them away and then shoot them if they didn't leave. As time went by, no raptors came to this area anymore.

Unexpectedly, it came out of nowhere!

Without his orders, hundreds of soldiers armed with bows and crossbows rushed to prepare for the attack.

Someone banged the gong in an attempt to drive them away.

Unfortunately, the sound of eagles was getting closer and closer, and a raptor flew from a distance. It was hovering in the high sky above the base, and there was a vague pattern.

Chen Bao recognized that this was a landing signal, and quickly ordered to stop beating the gong and not to shoot arrows. Sure enough, not long after the silence below, the raptor in the sky began to circle and land. It was a raptor with a wingspan of two meters.

Chen Bao recognized it at a glance as a golden eagle tamed by his brother. He put his fingers into his mouth and made a strange cry.

Birds of prey flew in mid-air and hovered above his head.

Chen Bao saw something tied to the raptor's leg, so he asked someone to bring some fresh beef and throw it on the ground. When the golden eagle landed to eat, he took out the small bamboo tube. After realizing that there was a letter inside, he quickly left the base.

When the note fell into Wu Rong's hands and he saw the content on it, a smile appeared on his fair face. It was the news and date of the voyage fleet's return. It set out two days ago and had arrived at this time, which shows how fast it was.

It proves that the method of using golden eagles to communicate is completely feasible!

The expedition fleet was at sea, and Chao Gai knew nothing about it.

One hundred and eighty warships formed a cone-shaped battle formation and rode the wind and waves along the sea route.

In addition to walking on the deck with his wives to enjoy the sea view, Chao Gai discussed military reform with Han Shizhong, Li Jun, Ruan Xiaoqi and others.

If he is really bored, he will accompany his wife to play musical instruments or fish by himself.

All in all, the journey home was not boring at all!

After sailing for several days, the fleet was unlucky and encountered a medium-to-large storm. The scene was too scary. Dark clouds rolled in the sky, lightning and thunder thundered, heavy rain poured down, the wind howled like a typhoon passing by, and the sea seemed to capsize with waves of several feet. The fleet

The ship was washed away and scattered.

Fortunately, the team had the experience to respond in time, and the return boat was also filled with bananas, wild fruits and other island specialties. Except for the masts of several boats that were broken by strong winds due to old age, there were no casualties and everything went smoothly.

After the rain, the sky clears, and after the storm comes the harvest.

Compared to the first time, the harvest was even more amazing.

This time the fleet caught too many fish, and the speed of many ships dropped sharply due to overload. The various types of seafood were incalculable, including deep-sea hairtail and other delicacies. Everyone ate with open stomachs, and everyone worked hard to eat sea stuffed fish.

, the waistband of the trousers was loose and loose, I jumped again and again, but I couldn't finish it in time.

The fish can only be salted or dried into dried fish, and then returned to the market to be sold. This income alone is enough for the fleet to maintain the ships.

In mid-October, we have entered the first movement season. We still don’t feel it at sea, but the weather is getting colder as we get closer to the Song Dynasty, so everyone puts on winter military uniforms.

There was no delay this time, and after four days of sailing at full speed at sea, they arrived at the waters near the Song Dynasty. Chao Gai asked Li Jun, the sea dragon, and Tong Meng, the mirage, to lead the sea-going ships with a capacity of 92,000 or less and return to Liangshan first.

He himself went to Laizhou Naval Base!

In the few months since I left in May, Ju Island has completely changed. The port and dock in the south are large in scale, and the harbor is large enough. There are clusters of buildings along the coast, stretching to the shore without end.

Under the guidance of the masters sent from Chaojiazhuang, it is neatly planned and looks like a city. In addition to the aboriginal people, there are also recruited sailors and their families. The Judao Ranch has also been established, and groups of cattle and sheep are galloping on the grassland.

What surprised Chao Gai the most was that the red-bearded dragon Fei Bao, the curly-haired tiger Ni Yun and others did not disappoint him. There were more than ten salt fields on the island that were gradually developed. Due to insufficient salt workers, large salt fields were not developed.

Even so, hundreds of thousands of stones of sea salt are currently produced every month. It is much better than the small workshops in coastal cities in the Song Dynasty, and the quality is better.

Chao Gai arrived at the naval base and did not stay long. He just made a tour. Then he ordered to recruit as many people as possible to become salt workers and pay them monthly. In addition, the naval forces strengthened training and patrols to ensure the safety of the salt fields.

Then the living Yan Luo Ruan Xiaoqi led the existing headquarters back to Liangshan to replace Zhang Shun. Since the big ships were almost transferred away, the five or six Qianli ships were followed by more than a dozen swordfish ships. Although they were large in number, they looked shabby.

"Brother, our boats are not enough!!"

The only sea-going ship with a cost of 2,000 yuan was also the flagship. As soon as Chao Gai and his wives appeared on the deck, Ruan Xiaoqi rushed out of the command room and started shouting.

"Be patient for a while and things will gradually get better." Chao Gai looked at this man. He was already married and was going to be a father, but he was still so irritable.

"You are a general of an army. You must keep your composure and do not act based on your temper."

"Hehehe, I got it!" Ruan Xiaoqi touched his head.

At this time, several boats shouted: "Look, everyone, there is a boat ahead."

"Woo, woo, woo..."

A low horn sounded from the flagship observation deck.

"Everyone is on alert, there is a situation!" Ruan Xiaoqi's expression changed and he ran back to the command room.

Chao Gai looked over and saw a layer of black dots on the sea level in the distance. He quickly approached here and saw that they were warships. They dispersed during the voyage and appeared to be surrounded. Then they suddenly accelerated and rushed towards them with great momentum.

Ruan Xiaoqi's command also has more than 20 ships, but the difference in magnitude is more than one and a half points. However, the flags of the Jeju government and the Chao family army are very conspicuous.

Following the order from the command room, more than 20 ships quickly shrank into formation. The flag bearer waved the command flag and played the flag to indicate the identity of the officers and soldiers to the other party.

However, it was of no use as the fleet's speed continued unabated.

When the two sides got closer, they could clearly see that they were all ships of the same color. Especially the first few ships, which were at least 3,600 ships. The government flags were hung on the masts, and they were mostly coastal ships.

While patrolling, the division noticed movement on the sea and swooped over like a shark.

"Brother, it's Dengzhou Ping Haijun!" Han Shizhong, who knew a lot, reminded him immediately.

"Dengzhou Navy?" Chao Gai murmured to himself, suddenly having a bad premonition. Then a feeling of palpitations surged out, and there was a loud boom in the distance. Without thinking, he moved Li Qingzhao to his side.

Hug and roll to the ground.

The other party was pregnant, so Chao Gai could only place her on the deck like a meat pad with her back on the ground, and at the same time, he hugged the woman and tried not to let her move violently.

And just when the two of them fell down!

"Whoosh" a violent sound broke through the air from far to near, and with a whoosh, a crossbow arrow three feet long and as thick as a child's arm passed through the place where the two people were standing. With a click, the crossbow arrow continued unabated, and nailed

It was half submerged above the cabin behind it, and its tail was buzzing and trembling.

Holy shit, this is a bed crossbow!

Chao Gai's pupils shrank when he looked at it, and then his eyes flashed with murderous intent. The Ping navy fleet in front knew it was a fleet but turned a blind eye. How could he be so arrogant? As expected, it was just like Zou's uncle and nephew said, he likes to extort money.

Due to the suddenness of this incident, Li Qingzhao, who was in his arms, was still confused. When he came back to his senses, he saw the trembling Crossbow with a pale face. Looking at the man who was pressed under him and hugged him tightly,

Eyes moist.

As the saying goes, a friend in need is a friend indeed!

In this dangerous situation, the other party was thinking about himself. The moment he fell, he deliberately changed his position and threw himself on the deck to protect himself from injury. Life is short, but if you can marry such a husband, you will have no regrets in this life!

"Sister, are you okay?" Li Qingwan, who was on the other side, rushed over. Yelvda Libo and Hua Zi rushed over, and everyone felt a little lucky. The other big-bellied women, Li Shishi and Hu Sanniang, were not there because of something. If everyone

If they all get together, the consequences will be disastrous.

That crossbow arrow is still buzzing and trembling!

"Ah! Brother, are you okay? Straight bitches, kill them for me." Only then did Han Shizhong and Chen Hu react and rushed over with a roar.

The three hundred guards on the ship sensed that something was wrong. Some people pulled out their swords and stood ready. Some people picked up their bows and arrows and pointed them at the oncoming fleet. Some people rushed into the cabin and took out a series of powerful divine arm bows.

Ruan Xiaoqi of the command room also saw this thrilling scene. It was furious. The anger roar issued orders. The original shrinkage felt quickly spread out.
Chapter completed!
