The iron sheet walked out of the large wooden box and looked at the deep night sky and said, "Master, the free air is so good."

Li Hao smiled and said, "It's not bad. I've kept it in the box for a day and spoke a little like a philosopher."

Tie Mai turned her head and thought for a while, then looked up at the night sky and said, "Even if there is thick and deep darkness around it, it cannot cover the light in my heart. Although I am trapped in the wooden box, my heart is flying in the free sky."

"Oh, you're fat, you're still panting. This is a bit like a poet. Since you feel so touched, then you can stay in the wooden box for another three or two months? After you come out of seclusion, you will be the robot among the poets and the fighter among the robots."

"Don't, put it in the box again, I will be bored and the lines are messy."

Li Hao was resting on the boat that night. The next morning, he asked Tie Pi to drive the boat, and always felt that Tie Pi was more reliable than himself.

Donghai No. 2 slowly drove to the sea near Qingyan Bay and stopped. Li Hao said: "Iron, it is prohibited to leak everything in the world opposite the wormhole, do you know?"

“Yes, respect your orders by your master.”

Iron has already known the parallel world. As long as it is allowed to surf the Internet in the main world, it cannot be concealed. There are information about the Song Dynasty, information about people like Zhao Ji and Cai Jing, and information about Quanzhou City. But it doesn’t matter if this robot knows, as long as it keeps the secret. If you say keep the secret, who is more reliable than Iron?

Li Hao said: "Tiepi, come find a walkie-talkie and contact Xiaomei and the others."

Before leaving last time, it was agreed that Xiaomei and the others would turn on the shortwave intercom every day at Chen Shi. Now the time is almost over. The iron sheet calls according to the agreed frequency.

Xiaozhu's surprise voice soon sounded: "Iron Pi, is it you? The young master is back?"

"Oh, yes, the master is back, and I am back too. We are just outside the mouth of the Qingnong River."

"That's great, Sister Mei, Sister Lan, Xiaoju, Young Master is back." Xiaozhu's voice was the best among the four maids, with a crisp and sweet feeling, which makes people never get tired of listening.

She called the sisters and said anxiously: "Young Master, you'll be fine if you come back. Something happened in the tea shop. A large number of tea leaves were robbed by bandits on their way to Kaifeng."

Li Hao snatched the walkie-talkie and asked, "When did it happen? Wasn't tea escorted by an escort agency?" Unexpectedly, he encountered such a thing as soon as he returned to the Northern Song Dynasty.

"The caravan hired escorts along the way. Two days ago, when passing by Shuanghuo Peak, a large group of bandits appeared, killing seven escorts, and killing four caravans' friends, and snatching all the tea."

Li Hao said: "You send someone to Xiao Zhongzhi, Jiang Wuhuang and Jiang Liuhuang to the mansion. I will see them later when I go back to the mansion. I am still on the boat at the mouth of the Qingqian River. Just like last time, you will send the workers here to transport goods, carriages, mule carriages and ships."

"Okay, let's take people here."

At this time, Xiaoju's panting sounded, and she was obviously running from a distance, "Young master, the tea leaves in the tea house were snatched by the bandits!"

"I understand. Let's talk about it when you go home. You can bring people to move things first."

Soon Xiaomei and the others brought a large number of long-term workers to the beach, and three wooden boats from the Li Mansion also sailed out of the Qingqi River. When everyone saw Donghai No. 2, they were shocked again.

The iron ship last time was already big enough. This ship was nearly twice as long as the last time and was twice as wide. Overall, this ship was several times larger than the last time. There are such huge ships in the world. How much cargo can such a ship be carried!

The shipbuilding technology of the Song Dynasty was quite advanced, but no matter what, it could not be built with a giant ship like Donghai No. 2. People never thought that a ship could be so large, and the entire hull was made of steel. After a sudden appearance, the visual impact was quite strong.

Xiaolan said in surprise: "A boat of such a big one can be moved back and forth a few times."

Xiaoju nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice, "It's full of cargo, it's been sold for ten years for the rare treasure pavilion."

The workers secretly complained in their hearts: "This ship can be moved for a long time before it can be moved."

This time, there was too much cargo on the Donghai No. 2 cargo ship, and most of them were equipment and raw materials from the arsenal. These would have to be unloaded on the deserted island, and now only the supplies transported back to the Li Mansion's treasury are ready. The agricultural machinery that is still brought to the main world will also be moved back to the Li Mansion.

The unloading matter was handed over to Tiepi, and Li Hao and his maids returned to the mansion.

Xiao Zhongzhi and the Jiang brothers were both waiting in the hall. When they saw Li Hao coming in, they quickly stood up and saluted. Xiao Zhongzhi bowed with fists, and the Jiang brothers saluted.

Li Hao's private soldier borrowed the training methods of modern army. At this moment, he looked at the Jiang brothers standing upright, his waist was straight, and he was full of energy, and he had a bit of the temperament of a modern soldier.

Li Hao returned a military salute, then hugged Xiao Zhongzhi and asked straight to the point: "Let me tell me about the robbery of tea first. I just came back and don't understand the situation."

Xiao Zhongzhi knew the story best, so he first said: "The robbed tea is the largest shipment of tea shops. The original plan was to pass through Jianzhou, Xinzhou, Hangzhou, Suzhou, and then turn to Kaifeng Bianjing, and sell it all the way in major cities. There were more than 30 mates and coachmen in the caravan, and more than 20 people from the escort agency, and the entire team was close to 60 people.

"Two days ago, the caravan entered Jianzhou and was robbed by bandits near Shuangtu Peak. The people in the escort agency saw that the bandits were in great power and asked the caravan to abandon goods and retreat. The bandits stepped forward and chased after them. In order to cover everyone, the people in the escort agency retreated, seven people died in battle. On the way to retreat, four guys were hacked to death by bandits. All tea fell into the hands of bandits."

Li Hao was silent for a moment, "All have abandoned the goods and are still chasing them? They are not only seeking money, but also wanting to kill people?"

Xiao Zhong nodded straight and said, "After the accident, I dispatched some intelligence personnel to investigate. The bandits in Shuangtuo Mountain had existed before, but the number was not so large, nor so cruel. Recently, he changed the bandit leader and acted unscrupulously. Now nearly three hundred bandits have gathered on Shuangtuo Peak, all of whom are desperate."

"Nearly three hundred people, the government doesn't care?"

Xiao Zhongzhi smiled bitterly and said, "If there were dozens of bandits, local officials might attack the bandits for the sake of credit, but nearly 300 people did not have the courage to take care of them. They could only suppress them desperately and prevent the court from knowing, and then find a way to transfer them themselves as soon as possible."

Li Hao looked at the Jiang brothers, and the two brothers stood up together. Jiang Wuhuang said, "I would like to ask for my orders and I will lead my brothers to wipe out these bandits and retrieve this batch of tea."

"Oh? You only have one hundred people, but there are nearly three hundred bandits. Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" the two brothers said in unison. Jiang Wuhuang said: "Brothers have been practicing hard, and they are waiting for this day."

"Sit, sit down." Li Hao signaled them to sit down and said, "This battle is going to be fought!"

The Jiang brothers' eyes flashed with eager eyes. They trained all day long and wanted to do a real hard fight, so that the young master could know the results of the hard training of Zhongerhuang.

Xiao Zhong said straight: "Young Master, I have a way to let the Jianzhou local wing army send troops, so we don't have to go on the field to fight in person."

Li Hao shook his head: "No, we have to use our people this time. An army has never fought a war or seen blood. It will never become a strong army. This is to be regarded as a practical training. Only after the baptism of blood can the army transform."

Since the young master had made a decision, Xiao Zhong said straight: "The number of bandits in the Shuangtuo Peak is about 280, and the weapons are knives, swords, spears, etc. About 100 of them are newcomers. These newly joined are refugees who fled famine and have poor combat effectiveness. The simple map of Shuangtuo Peak has been brought back, and I will present it to the young master later. Since our people are doing it themselves, the information and maps must be more detailed, and I will ask my subordinates to speed up the collection."

Li Hao said: "This should be as soon as possible."

"I will notify the local intelligence personnel immediately." Xiao Zhong said directly.

Since Li Hao gave him a radio station, the orders were conveyed so conveniently. Jianzhou is not far from here, and with the radio stations in the hands of intelligence personnel, he can communicate with them easily. Not to mention Jianzhou, even the news about Bianliang City in Kaifeng can be transmitted to Qingzangwan, Quanzhou on the same day.

"Okay, after you have further information and maps, we will discuss the plan for the battle, and that's all here today."

Xiao Zhongzhi and the Jiang brothers left, and Li Hao went to the garden to start routine training of the Force.

Due to the characteristics of the Star Yuan cultivation of the Yaling Clan, the cultivation speed in the Northern Song Dynasty was obviously faster than that of the main world. I spent two weeks in the main world before, and the Force progressed slowly, so I have to hurry up now.

Although the tea was robbed was lost, the impact on Li Hao in the commercial kingdom of the Northern Song Dynasty was minimal. Li Hao's commercial kingdom was temporarily supported by four pillars: Qiqi Treasure Pavilion, Photo Gallery, Tea House and Wine House. The tea house was only one of them, and only a batch of tea was robbed. Although the number was huge, it would not affect the entire Donghai Merchant Group.

Li Hao is actually not very anxious about recovering the tea. The tea may have been sold to the stolen goods by bandits, and it is useless to be anxious. What he values ​​more is the actual combat opportunity of the private army.

Although my private soldiers do not have guns, the other party is just a group of bandits, and it is okay to use equipment from the era of cold weapons. experiencing a cold weapon battle also has positive significance for the cultivation of the army.

However, Li Hao would never hope that there would be major casualties in this battle. The relatives of this private soldier were all working in Qingyan Bay, and the soldiers were quite loyal to Li Hao. These soldiers were treasures and could not lose too much in the bandit suppression.

Therefore, this battle must be fully prepared, from the analysis of intelligence to the formulation of tactics, all must be prepared. The soldiers must also spend some time doing the equipment. In short, the first battle of their own private army must strive to win a brilliant victory at the smallest price.
