Great Song Pirate

Chapter 387

Chapter 387

Everyone discussed until late at night, and Xu Yi returned to the residence to rest under the urging of everyone. The continuous fatigue and tension these days made Xu Yi already exhausted. After returning to the residence, he took the towel and wiped his face After that, without even taking off his clothes, he fell on the bed and fell asleep immediately.

This sleep was very heavy but very unsteady. Xu Yi kept dreaming in his sleep. He dreamed that Qian Gui was covered in blood and surrounded by a group of Annan people. This kind of ridicule, fighting with these Annan people, suddenly he was stabbed by a spear and fell to the ground, a group of Annan people swarmed up and raised their butcher knives, Xu Yi suddenly woke up with a loud cry, and found that it was just a dream , before lying on the bed again.

After waking up, Xu Yi found it difficult to fall asleep again for a while. He got up and drank a glass of water before lying back on the bed. At this time, he realized that Qian Gui actually held a high place in his heart. Since this guy followed him After being around, he often brought laughter to him. Basically, Xu Yi treated him as his own younger brother. Now that something like this happened, Xu Yi felt a little guilty, but after thinking about it carefully, Xu Yi dismissed this idea again. In this world, they were originally a group of people independent of the entire social system. They lived a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife. They either killed or were killed. This is when they embarked on this road. It was already doomed. If Qian Gui was not sent there, brothers would still be sent there, and accidents might happen. If so, there would be brothers sent by him everywhere, and they were also facing various threats every day. Then he didn't know how many times he should feel guilty. After figuring it out, Xu Yi laughed at himself, then took off his clothes before falling asleep again.

Xu Yi woke up again at dawn. After washing up, he had some activities in the yard and had breakfast. Then he took Li Bo and rushed to the meeting hall. After a night of deliberation, Xu Yi finally made up his mind.

"Yesterday I said that we want to make a big ticket, so this time we must let the Annan people remember our name forever, and make them tremble when they think of our black skull flag. I calculated the time and according to Brother Wan It is said that the Annan people have captured Qian Gui and Cao Xian and are going to execute them in three months. This is an opportunity that the Annan people have left for us. We can make good use of it. Brother Wan rushed back from Annan to use it. Nearly half a month, that is to say, we still have two and a half months, so we still have time to prepare. Now our current strength alone is not enough for the Annan people to remember us, so I have to mobilize more ships and Brothers, come over and rush to Annan together, let them taste our thunderous wrath, aren’t they greedy for money and have taken a fancy to our goods? Then let’s let them see what real greed is this time, we want them to Repay our losses a hundred times and a thousand times! This time, I only have one request, that is, Annan will not have his own sea ship since then!" Standing in the hall, Xu Yi waved his hands vigorously, and said to the brothers here .

Everyone was very happy to see that Xu Yi had regained his composure after a night of adjustments, especially when they heard that Xu Yi had proposed such a big goal, everyone couldn't help but feel a little excited. Those who were thinking were fighting on the battlefield, Xu Yi made them seem to see a magnificent battle scene with just a few words, so everyone immediately bowed and shouted: "The humble official is willing to serve the master!"

At this time, after a night of rushing work, the painter Gao Xu hired has roughly described the situation of the entire Dazhanhaikou according to what Wan Dayong said, and according to his dictation, he has drawn a route map for sailing at sea. Gao Xu submitted it to Xu Yi, and Xu Yi looked at the two pictures. Although the charts drawn by the artist were very crude, one could see a general idea based on the place names marked on them. The picture of Haikou is slightly clearer, and we can see the layout of the entire Dazhan Haikou. After having these two pictures, Xu Yi strengthened his determination.

"Immediately send a notice to Dulong Island to transfer the stored gunpowder and firearms such as Pili Banglei, Palm Thunder, and Swarm Rockets to this place in large quantities, and order Yang Ci to mobilize his medical battalion to go here together with the fleet! Order Diao Bin to put down As for the matter at hand, immediately lead his subordinates to select elite ships, including the square boat cargo ships under his command, and come here immediately to wait for dispatch. He ordered Wang Feng to send his elite ships to come here immediately to wait for my dispatch. The cage village immediately transported the armor and other things that have been produced here, and distributed them to the land and water armies, and everyone must rush here within [-] days, and there must be no mistakes!" Xu Yi ordered Li Bo.

Li Bo immediately bowed down to receive the order. After hearing Xu Yi's orders, everyone knew that Xu Yi was going to make a serious move this time. They had never mobilized so many ships and manpower before. This time Xu Yi actually mobilized ships from several places at the same time, which shows how big he is going to do this time. It can be said that he has used all the power he can mobilize in a short time. It seems that this time he is not only going to rescue Qian Gui, Cao Xian and others were so simple, everyone cheered up immediately.

"Flying Pigeon sent a message to Kong Qingxi to make him ready. When our fleet arrives in the sea off Guangzhou, their elite ships will also set off with our main fleet to Annan Kingdom. He also ordered him to send out as soon as he gets the news. The clippers will go out to the coast of Annan to check the situation there. Be sure to check out the coastal ports, towns, and villages of Annan, and make detailed records! At the same time, we must sneak into Dazhanhaikou to find out the details there without any delay! The two armies are fighting, we You must know yourself and the enemy!" Xu Yi then issued a second order.

Li Bo received the order again to record this matter.

"Yang Zaixing, Gao Jun listen to the order!" Xu Yi clicked on Yang Zaixing's name.

Yang Zaixing and Gao Jun immediately came out and replied, "The end is here!"

"I order you two to prepare your infantry immediately. Be sure to make them familiar with boarding and disembarking, and be ready to go out at any time. Everyone must learn to swim. Everyone can adapt to long-distance boat rides. Don't get dizzy when you get there. You can’t fight! Also, this time Yang Zaixing will accompany me on the expedition, and Gao Jun will stay behind to cooperate with Gao Xu. The two of you brothers will recruit troops as soon as possible, and you will be in charge of the early training of the recruits, so there must be no mistakes!”

Yang Zaixing immediately bowed to accept the order and said, "The last general will receive the order!"

And Gao Jun obviously didn't react, and opened his mouth a few times. He originally wanted to go out with Xu Yi this time to enjoy the addiction of fighting, but he didn't expect Xu Yi to leave him to preside over the conscription. Such an order is obvious. It didn't meet his requirements, so he was a little dazed.

Xu Yi glanced at Gao Jun who was in a daze, and knew what he was thinking, so Wei Wei scolded him with a stern face: "Gao Jun, do you want to disobey orders?"

After listening to Xu Yi's question, Gao Jun quickly bowed and replied: "The last general dare not! Gao Jun has basically not done anything since he followed the lord. This time, with this opportunity, why doesn't the lord let the last general follow the lord as well?" How about going?" Gao Jun seemed to really want to go, so he said it directly.

Xu Yi stared and said angrily: "I know what you are thinking, but after I basically transferred all the infantry this time, the place is much empty. You two are infantry commanders. If you all go out with me , Who will control the recruits recruited here? To deal with a small country like Annan, how can we use two generals? I can understand your feelings. Since we have established an infantry army, we will be able to fight against you in the future Don't fight for this opportunity. Before I come back this time, I hope you can rebuild a usable infantry for me. Is it possible for you to do it? This burden is nothing compared to Zaixing. Light, don't let me down!"

Xu Yi's repeated beatings and compliments finally made Gao Jun dispel the idea of ​​trying to accompany him on this expedition, so he could only bow down and answer: "The last general has orders! Gao Jun will never disappoint the high expectations of the lord!"

Xu Yi nodded with satisfaction and continued: "We need a lot of food, meat, poultry eggs, vegetables, etc. for this expedition. Gao Xu, you must start mobilizing these materials immediately. You must prepare these materials within 20 days. , when the fleet departs, it will be loaded onto the ship to ensure food and drink for the soldiers on this expedition. Our current food reserves are still sufficient for our operation this time, but vegetables and fruits are very important to the health of our soldiers. You need to prepare more! It is best to store things that can be preserved when necessary. You are responsible for this matter! Also, you and Gao Jun, brothers, should pay attention to the conscription during this period, and be sure to choose those who are strong. To join the army, it is better to lack than to overuse!"

Gao Xu immediately stepped out and replied: "I obey the order, I will prepare immediately, and I guarantee that the preparation will be completed within 20 days!"

Xu Yi shifted his gaze to Chang Le again, and said to Chang Le: "Chang Le, you have to be Gao Xu's deputy, take on more things, try to share Gao Xu's affairs in the near future, and take more time out of your carpentry. Some will come to the shipyard to help, I may be rebuilding a large number of ships in the near future, time is tight, and a lot of people are needed!"

Chang Le immediately bowed to his orders, and then retreated into the ranks.

"Yang Hong listens!" Xu Yi saw that even Yang Hong had rushed over today, so he called his name.

Yang Hong was obviously taken aback, he didn't expect Xu Yi to even point him out, so he hurriedly came out and replied: "The humble job is here!"

"Miraculous doctor Yang has worked hard during this time! But after this flood, there may be another plague, you must pay special attention to this matter, and strictly prevent the occurrence of plague after the disaster! And before this expedition, please help the fleet Prepare some wound medicine and medicine to prevent acclimatization and seasickness, so as to ensure the combat power and morale of our soldiers!" Xu Yi instructed him.

After hearing this, Yang Hong bowed his head and replied: "The lowly position is ordered. Please rest assured about this matter. I have sent the men of the medical department to various villages to start preparing medicine for the people to drink. I guarantee that there will be no more plagues. As for the wounded Don’t worry, my lord, for medicine and other items, I will prepare them as soon as possible to ensure they will be used for this expedition!”

In fact, Xu Yi knows better than anyone else that what is fought in war is logistics. If the logistics cannot keep up, all the troops will lose their combat effectiveness very quickly. It is because of the logistical and first aid issues that they put so much emphasis on logistics, specifically confessing to Gao Jun, Yang Hong and the others, and ordering Yang Ci's medical soldiers to come together. These two points are crucial to the expedition , there can be no mistakes.

After arranging these things, Xu Yi didn't hesitate, and immediately asked everyone to split up, but at this moment, Sun Hai, who hadn't received an order, suddenly came forward and bowed to ask for his order: "My lord, wait a minute, I have something to ask for my humble position!"

Seeing Sun Hai coming out to speak, Xu Yi nodded and said, "You can agree on something!"

Sun Hai panted and said: "You brothers have things to do, but Sun Hai didn't get any orders. Although Sun Hai is not talented, he is still a veteran of sailing, and the instructors under him are all good hands. My lord Turning a blind eye to us, is the last general just so useless?" Sun Hai was actually quite straight-tempered, obviously dissatisfied with Xu Yi's arrangement this time, so he jumped out and fired.

It was only then that Xu Yi remembered that he had indeed neglected Sun Hai. It was a pity that such a master of sailing was left unused. It just so happened that this place hadn’t received a large number of new recruits from various places during this period. It will cause their dissatisfaction, so Xu Yi quickly nodded and smiled and said: "I ignored this, don't be angry, Sun Hai, you can go with me this time, just a few Jiangbei sent by Hangzhou and Yangzhou during the Chinese New Year. The sea ship is deploying sailors, you instructors can act as the captain temporarily, but you can only take half of the manpower, and the rest have to wait to accept the new recruits from various places, this matter cannot be delayed, you Go down and get ready! Those boats will come from Jilongzhai soon, and they need to be remodeled, equipped with cannons, ballistas, etc., and you will be busy!"

When Sun Hai heard Xu Yi's order, he was immediately overjoyed, bowed to Xu Yi and said, "The general obeys! I promise that there will be no delay! Haha!" This guy was immediately overjoyed, and Gao Jun, who couldn't go out with the team, was so angry that he groaned. .

When the crowd dispersed, Xu Yi took Daniel directly to the shipyard.

Not long after, a flock of carrier pigeons flew out of the dovecote in the backyard of the conference hall. After the flock of pigeons circled over Danshui village, they chose their own direction and flew out quickly into the distance.

After Xu Yi arrived at the shipyard, he immediately found Gong Zhen and saw that the ship in the dock had stopped due to the typhoon for several days. The accumulated water was dispatched to the dock, and those facilities and other things damaged by the typhoon were rushed to repair.

Xu Yi looked up at the big ship, knowing that he would definitely not be able to catch up with the big ship this time, so he said to Gong Zhen somewhat regretfully, "Stop working on this ship for now!"

Gong Zhen didn't know what happened. After hearing Xu Yi's words, he immediately turned pale with shock and said, "Why? This storm didn't damage the ship! Why stop work? It has already reached such a point. , we will be able to launch it in the water soon, and we can't stop! This is the hard work of our group of shipwrights!"

Xu Yi smiled and said: "You misunderstood me! The shutdown I said was just a temporary shutdown. I'll tell you the truth. After [-] days, I will lead a large fleet to sea and go to the south to find An Nanguo's bad luck, it seems that I can't catch up with this boat, so I still have to take this pioneer ship to go out. I need to modify the pioneer ship first, and install a batch of artillery. The few Jiangbei sea ships sent also need to be remodeled, equipped with artillery, and a batch of square boats need to be remodeled to take our infantry brothers. Make sure that they can board and disembark quickly and conveniently. With their artillery, it must be able to be loaded and unloaded quickly. The ship also needs to carry a lot of mules, horses and vehicles. The renovation project must be completed within [-] days. I am afraid that your manpower will be absolutely overwhelmed with the construction of this ship, so I asked you to temporarily stop the construction of this ship and devote all your energy to the ship renovation. You should understand! After I leave, you will Continue to build this warship!"

Only then did Gong Zhen understand what Xu Yi was going to do, so he quickly replied: "I understand, I was shocked. Just now I thought the lord was going to give up this boat! As long as you don't want this boat, you can stop it for now. I immediately called the craftsmen to start work immediately! To transform the Pioneer and those ships for the lord! No matter what, we must complete what the lord ordered within 20 days! I just don’t know why the lord suddenly sent troops to such a far place Where are you going?"

"The Annan bastards hijacked the fleet we sent to Dashiguo to transport fierce oil, killed many of our brothers, and even arrested many of our brothers, claiming that they will be executed in two and a half months. This time, we lead our troops to rescue our brothers, and by the way, teach Annan and those bastards a lesson, and let them know how powerful we are!" Xu Yi replied casually.

Gong Zhen was also very angry after hearing this, so he assured again: "My lord, don't worry, these gangsters don't know the heights of heaven and earth, and dare to rob our fleet. It is guaranteed to complete the task you assigned to the humble officer within 20 days! I will start preparations now, and I can start the transformation tomorrow!"

Xu Yi nodded and asked him to make arrangements. He took Daniel and rushed to the pier. After a day of venting, the water level of the river has begun to drop, and the water on the river has also begun to slow down a lot. There is no problem with sailing. .

On the pier, he immediately notified the subordinates of the Pioneer, ordering it to weigh anchor immediately, sail into the shipyard, and begin to undergo renovations, installing the dozens of cannons that were transported this time on the ship. This time, the Pioneer will definitely It was still the main flagship, and of course it had to be armed to the teeth. After all, the Pioneer was considered the most elite ship he owned so far, and it could take on this responsibility.

(Farming has come to an end for the time being, and everyone has started to experience the addiction of being a great pirate! If you can’t justify it, the brothers should scold others, saying that Liao is a waste material, and you don’t know what a pirate is. Now that you write about pirates, But if you don’t go out to plunder and kill people, isn’t it just a trick to sell dog meat? So the pig’s feet will be shaken, and the scumbag will be angry once, let the brothers see how powerful the Fubo pirates are!)
