"We may leave at any time. It's too troublesome to get on and off the ship. Let's just live on the ship."
Jin Feng thought for a moment and made a decision: "We'll come back after we turn around and ask the navy to build the dock here."
Nowadays, the islands in the East China Sea are uninhabited land and belong to whoever occupies them. Jin Feng will naturally not be polite.
Now send people to occupy it first. When the situation in the East China Sea stabilizes, Jin Feng will build a new navy. As long as it is an unclaimed island, it will be occupied!
He wants to build a long defense chain overseas. If he wants to invade the Central Plains, he must first break through these defense chains.
Thinking of this, Jin Feng felt full of energy again.
There is no deep-water pier on Jiaolin Island. Large ships can park a hundred meters away from the coast, and then take a small boat to the island. It is too troublesome. It is better to live on the ship.
The building has complete facilities and no mosquitoes. It is much more comfortable than the thatched huts built by pirates on the island.
This decision made Tang Xiaobei extremely happy.
In recent days, she had caught quite a lot of fish, and she was worried about going fishing on the island and not being comfortable on the boat.
Liu agreed and arranged for people to notify the sailors to anchor.
A hot air balloon also rose high, and the escort looked around with a telescope from it.
The bandits seemed to have known that Jin Feng was coming, but a few days passed and they never showed up.
However, two patrolling navy fleets passed by and came to Jiaolin Island to replenish fresh water and food.
Jin Feng was mentally prepared before arriving and was not in a hurry.
In his previous life, he was busy going to school and working. After arriving in Dakang, he was busy surviving. He was busy resisting the Dangxiang, Tubo and Eastern Barbarians. He had been traveling back and forth. Now that he had a rare free time, he regarded it as a holiday.
The scenery near Jiaolin Island is picturesque. When I was tired from work during the day, I went fishing with Tang Xiaobei and looked at the surrounding scenery. When I got interested, I could go to the sea and use his dog to paddle around.
There was also a beautiful woman accompanying him at night, which was simply the good life that Jin Feng had dreamed of in his previous life.
If life had been like this when he first came to Dakang, Jin Feng might have stayed in the East China Sea and made a living fishing.
But now he was tied up in Jinchuan, so he only left himself twenty days.
If the pirates are not found after twenty days, he will go back ashore.
After all, the Ninth Princess was about to give birth and he had to rush back.
On the fifteenth day after entering the East China Sea, Zheng Chiyuan arrived.
Not from the west shore, but from the east.
"Master Imperial Master, I led the fleet to pursue them three hundred miles away, but no trace of the pirates was found."
Zheng Chiyuan said: "If we go further, there will not be enough water on the boat, so we have to come back."
The main task of the Dakang navy is to defend against pirates on the shore and offshore. It is not a long-distance operation. Being able to pursue them hundreds of miles away is already their limit.
Jin Feng couldn't bear to blame any more and asked, "Have you gone to explore all the islands along the way?"
"I have inquired about it. According to the instructions of the Imperial Master, there are people guarding the islands with water. Once pirates are found, they will use pigeons to send a message to Donglian Island." Zheng Chiyuan replied.
Donglian Island is the collective name for several small islands about 150 miles away from the east coast. It is also an important station and transit station for the Navy in the East China Sea, and is stationed by Navy soldiers for a long time.
For the convenience of communication, Navy soldiers raised many special homing pigeons on it.
With the flying ability of these homing pigeons, they can radiate hundreds of miles around.
When Zheng Chiyuan went to the East China Sea to search for pirates, he brought a lot of these homing pigeons with him, leaving two for each team that landed on the island and stayed behind.
After all, Zheng Chiyuan is the person in charge of the Navy, and has many more things to do than Jin Feng, the hands-off boss.
I had dinner with Jin Feng and led the fleet back early the next morning.
"If you still can't find the pirates after four more days, it's time to go back."
Jin Feng watched Zheng Chiyuan's fleet getting further and further away, and made a decision in his heart.
That afternoon, Tang Xiaobei caught a big fish weighing more than 70 kilograms. In the middle of the afternoon, he stopped fishing with satisfaction, had someone carry the big fish into the kitchen, and personally made a whole fish feast for Jin Feng.
Jin Feng usually works for a while before going to bed at night, but after dinner that day, he suddenly felt that his head was dizzy and his legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead.
He originally thought that he might be sleepy, but when he turned around, he saw that Tang Xiaobei, Da Liu, Alan and others at the same table were also doing the same.
Although Kita Chihiro's condition is better than that of Jin Feng and others, it is obviously much worse than usual.
"Sir, something is wrong."
Kita Chihiro frowned and said, "There's something wrong with today's meal!"
"Can't this kind of fish be eaten?" Jin Feng frowned and shouted: "Big mountains! Big mountains!"
Dashan is Jin Feng's deputy captain of the bodyguard, and he has a somewhat shaky personality.
Da Liu would joke with Jin Feng from time to time, and sometimes he would pry into Jin Feng's gossip.
But whenever Dashan saw Jin Feng, he would always act well-behaved. He would never say another word, let alone go to the table with Jin Feng to eat, and would just wait quietly at the door.
At this time, Dashan was on duty. If it were normal, as long as Jin Feng shouted, he would appear immediately.
But at this time, Jin Feng shouted several times, but there was no movement at the door.
Not to mention Bei Qianxun and Da Liu, even Jin Feng and Tang Xiaobei sensed that something was wrong.
Kita Qianxun gently pulled out the long knife and reached for the door.
"What are you doing?" Da Liu asked in a low voice.
"I'll go out to see what's going on, and call the doctor on the ship over." Kita Qianxun replied.
"Forget it, you are in the best condition, stay and watch over Mr. and Mrs., I'll go call someone."
Da Liu waved his hand, pulled out a long knife with his right hand, held the cabin wall with his left hand, and walked towards the door step by step.
But only halfway through, the door opened from the outside.
A tall, thin middle-aged man opened the door and walked in.
At this time, the sky was not completely dark yet. Jin Feng looked out through the open door, and at first sight he saw Dashan and others guarding the door falling limply to the ground.
If their chests weren't still rising and falling slightly, Jin Feng might have thought he was dead.
Jin Feng's heart skipped a beat and he looked towards the deck where the escorts were having a dinner.
As he expected, all the escorts were lying on the ground unconscious like the mountain at the door.
"What did you do to them?"
Jin Feng stared at the middle-aged man and asked coldly.
"It's nothing. I just gave them some soothing medicine to help them have a good sleep. Don't disturb the Imperial Master!"
The middle-aged man sneered.
"Do you know my identity?" Jin Feng couldn't help but narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
This person was a handyman on the ship, not someone brought by Jin Feng, but someone who was already on the ship when Hong Taoping was looking for someone to pick him up.
At that time, Hong Taoping swore that the people who would pick him up were close friends of the Hong family and nothing would happen to him. Jin Feng didn't think much about it because of his trust in Hong Taoping and because he was really short of manpower.
