Xujiawu Fort was burned to ruins. Chu Qing didn't know. He just knew that at dawn, he came to report that there was thick black smoke dozens of miles away to the south, which was thicker than wolf smoke.
Chu Qing didn't take it seriously, thinking that someone accidentally set a forest on fire.
Things finally seemed to be on track. When Cao Hu expressed for the thirty-second time that he was hungry and his brothers and sisters were also hungry, Ma Ying finally came and hired more than 800 civilians and some soldiers in Taizhou City to lead them.
They arrived with carriages, horses, and countless food, wine, and food.
"Dudu." Ma Ying, who was escorting the grain and fodder, dismounted and came directly to Chu Qing, asking excitedly: "Ying thief, where is the Ying thief? How many have been killed? How many Ying thief have been killed?"
Chu Qing finally understood why the third brother didn't want to talk to Ma Ying.
Lin Kui has completed his work and tortured the family's lackeys and the only remaining Japanese thief alive.
Regarding the aristocratic family, the ship was sent by the Liu family. Coincidentally, this is also a man who prides himself on being loyal and loyal. Some of his children are in the boat division, and their children monopolize the horse and carriage business of Shang Yun Dao. Shang Yun Dao is a family that can build ships.
There are only a handful of them, and the Liu family is one of them, and they have a very close relationship with the generals of the navy. This ship was originally intended to be delivered to the navy after it was built, but it was in a private name, and the court did not know about it at all.
After learning this information, Wen Ya finally had a chance to perform.
It turns out that the imperial court's records on the number of warships in the navy were not accurate. There were many ships in the navy, warships and sea-going ships, but they were not included in the records. They were listed under private names, that is, under the names of the generals of the navy.
.
However, a large part of the money these generals spent on purchasing ships came from the imperial court.
This means that some generals of the navy took the money from the imperial court to buy ships for themselves, and then used the ships to hire Japanese thieves.
This is the information revealed by the captured family members. Regarding the Japanese thieves, it is very exciting.
I don’t know whether to say that Chu Qing’s luck was good or bad. There were two ships coming from the Ying thieves, one big and one small, with a total of 127 people. One of them sank, and it was still a big one. So, the Ying thieves
Only twenty-eight of the thieves disembarked.
Therefore, it is risky to go to other countries to become a robber. You deserve it.
In the distance, Chen Laojiu cursed.
When the old cousins from Hucheng saw the food and drink being delivered, they all rushed over screaming like savages. Chen Yan led a group of Imperial College thugs who kicked and scolded them, and then they managed to maintain order and began to distribute food.
When more than 20,000 old men came, it was at night. Many people were behind the woods, and Chu Qing didn't even look carefully.
It was dawn now, and Chu Qing was helpless because of the old cousins all over the mountains and plains.
Let Cao Hu send them back. Now the foundation is not stable. With more people, the fists are bigger, and no one dares to cause trouble.
But if these guys are allowed to stay here, just eating every day will be an astronomical figure.
"Have a meeting, have a meeting."
Chu Qing was not in a good mood anymore and waved his hand: "Come over for a meeting and study the next step. Hurry, hurry up, hurry up, come here."
The friends gathered around. Wen Ya looked at Xiao Zhi from a distance and asked slightly nervously: "Can I go?"
Xiao Zhi was delighted: "I don't even dare to go, so what the hell are you doing?"
Wen Ya seemed a little unwilling and could only watch from a distance.
Unexpectedly, Chu Qing, who had just gathered his friends, turned around and saw Wen Laoliu standing there, scolding: "I want your second aunt to take a bath, come over quickly for a meeting, I'm deaf, and I want to hang out with Ben Dudu, so what?"
If you don’t want to make suggestions, what good things can you think of?”
Wen Ya was overjoyed, but couldn't believe it. She pointed at herself stupidly: "Me?"
"Nonsense, aren't you a ghost?"
Wen Ya ran away without saying a word. She was so excited that she could be said to be elated. She didn't expect to be able to enter the first echelon so soon.
Xiao Zhi was also very happy and quickly followed.
If Wen Ya can go, I can definitely do it too.
As a result, after the two of them passed by, Chu Qing looked at Xiao Zhi sideways: "What are you doing here?"
Xiao Zhi was confused: "No...didn't you tell me the plan?"
"Are you worthy?" Chu Qing scolded angrily: "Go and play!"
"Okay, Dudu, if you need something, please remember to call me General Ha."
As soon as Xiao Zhi lowered his head, he left in annoyance. He couldn't figure it out and his heart was filled with panic. Why can Wen Ya do it but I can't?
In fact, it's not that Chu Qing doesn't trust Xiao Zhi, it's mainly that Xiao Zhi's IQ is very impressive, otherwise it would be impossible for him to get the nickname of "Border Smart".
A group of people sat in a large circle. Cao Hu and Chen Laojiu also came. Chu Qing glanced at everyone and cleared his throat.
"If there are too many, I won't be satisfied. First of all, the first issue is, should the more than 20,000 old friends in Hucheng leave or stay?"
Out of habit, Chu Qing looked at his chief adviser Tao Ruolin.
Tao Ruolin looked completely awake, tilting her head, her eyes seemed to be closed, and her eyelids were fighting.
Chu Qing looked away and looked at the others.
As for Tao Ruolin, Chu Qing knew at a glance that the computer hadn't been turned on yet. No, it might have been that it hadn't been turned on at all and was in a dormant state. Bihua had carried her around.
"Stay." Tao Weiran, whose surname is also Tao, although he slept less, did not lack sleep. He analyzed in a few words: "Now in the name of quelling the chaos, if you go to Hucheng, you can do a show and enter Hucheng directly.
Anyway, this pretense can no longer be maintained. It is better to keep all the Hucheng brothers and recruit some Hucheng people to the outside world. With these 20,000 Hucheng brothers, the boat master and other aristocratic families will not dare to act rashly."
Chu Qing gave a slight oh and nodded: "What do you mean, not only will you not be dismissed, but you will also not be able to go to Hucheng?"
"good."
"But no matter where we go, we can't sleep on the beach every day."
"It doesn't take much effort to build a city by cutting down trees. It takes Guocheng as its root and foundation."
Tao Weiran opened the map, pointed at several locations, and expressed his opinion.
The reason why Guocheng was built here in the first place was not because of a casual comment by some minister, but because of the geographical location.
First of all, there is an inlet to the sea on the north side. Secondly, the view is excellent. Except for the woods on the south side, the east and west sides have an unobstructed view. Furthermore, the road on the back side is flat.
If you want to build a dock or shipyard, the location of Guocheng is also very suitable. There are trees in the forest itself that can be cut down. Even if they are not cut down, it will still be a forest after half a day's walking south. Otherwise, turn right and walk for two days.
It's Hucheng. Once you gain a foothold in Guocheng, you can help each other.
Shangyundao is the territory of the Tao family, and no one has more say than Tao Weiran.
After Fatty Tao explained his idea in detail, he won unanimous approval from everyone.
Guocheng is now in ruins, but if you want to build a shipyard in the future, the sea area of Guocheng is definitely the most suitable place in Shangyun Road.
