"Guoyuan is also handing over with Cai Junshou in the county office, let's talk about the current situation in Qingdao."

The group walked on the beach and talked at the same time.

"Qingdao is surrounded by the sea on three sides, Laoshan Bay in the north, Shaohai in the south, like a hand stretched out to the sea on the land, in Qingdao on these three sides of the sea, there are many islands, according to the Taoist chief on Laoshan Mountain, there are nine big islands, fifty-four small islands, and I don't know whether it's true or not." Lin Hai spoke first.

"By the way, how is Gan Shi doing in Laoshan?"

Laoshan is a holy place of Taoism since ancient times, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han dynasties, the people of Fang Wu like to gather in Laoshan to study the method of cultivating immortals, plus Laoshan faces the sea, you can often see mirages, and these people suspect that there is a fairy island on the sea, and I don't know how many people died for this to go to sea.

But at the same time, in troubled times, there will also be many thieves and people hiding in Laoshan Mountain.

The purpose of Gan Shi's visit to Laoshan was to find out the situation of these thieves while codifying those Taoist temples, so that Lin Hai could smoothly enter Laoshan and control the commanding heights near Qingdao.

"Gan Daochang is behind, our army can be successfully stationed in Laoshan, Gan Daochang has made great contributions."

"Hmph, don't say nice things to him, this guy must have deceived a lot of good things." Ma Qiang snorted and said, "Go on." ”

As the saying goes, thieves don't go empty, Ma Qiang doesn't believe that Gan Shi will return empty-handed in Laoshan.

"No! The bandits on the land of Qingdao have basically been pacified by our army, and on the sea, there are now mainly two groups of pirates.

One is mainly to manage the inheritance, they gather on the island about ten miles from the land, this force is weaker, about more than 1,000 people, the other is headed by Guo Zu, Gongsun Qian, the strength is stronger, it is said that they were originally a part of Mount Tai thieves, when we and General Cao and other joint encirclement and suppression of Mount Tai, they escaped, all the way to here, about three or four thousand people, gathered on Tianheng Island. ”

"Tian Hengjima? Is that the one who committed suicide with all his subordinates? ”

"Yes, when Han Xin destroyed Qi, Tian Heng refused to be subordinate to Han, and fled to the island with five hundred guests, and later generations called that island Tian Heng Island."

"How far is the island from land?"

"About ten miles!"

At this time, Qingcheng also changed his clothes, and shouted to Ma Qiang in the distance to eat the seafood that had been made, Ma Qiang waved his hand, and then said, "Let's go, let's talk while eating." ”

——

"Ah~ This fresh seafood is delicious!" Green orange gulped down the grilled scallops, and his eyes lit up.

Probably no one picked it up, and the shells that Ma Qiang got from the sea are all bigger.

"Well, it's a pity that it can't be transported, otherwise with these things alone, the fishermen of Qingdao can make a fortune." Ma Qiang smiled and said, "Where is our fleet?" ”

Guo Jia was dealing with a large piece of shark shark fin that he had given him at this time, he didn't understand what was delicious about this thing, so where did so much meat go just now?

"The fleet will arrive about noon." Guo Jia replied, and finally couldn't help asking, "Ming Gong, why don't you eat the fish just now?" ”

Ma Qiang hesitated for a moment and said to the sergeant, "Take a piece of fish and grill it for Guo Junshi to taste." ”

Guo Jia immediately threw the shark fin aside and waited intently for his fish.

It didn't take long for the fish to be served, and Guo Jia took a bite, and his face changed.

"Phew! What does it taste like? Guo Jia hurriedly poured himself a glass of water and began to rinse his mouth.

Lin Hai and Zhao Yun glanced at the fish curiously, they had never eaten a shark.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should smell of urine." Ma Qiang said with a wicked smile, "Sharks don't have urination organs, so they rely on the skin to urinate. Tut~"

"Ming Gong!!"

"Who doesn't know that our little pony brother is the best at eating! What he doesn't eat must be unpalatable! Qingcheng sniffed the piece of shark meat, then pinched his nose and said.

Everyone looked at Guo Jia with a bitter face, and then thought of the taste of that piece of meat, and couldn't help laughing.

"Ming Gong! You see! Our fleet!! "Cola Literature

Smiling, Huang Xu pointed to the distance and said.

Ma Qiang looked up, and sure enough, he saw the mighty fleet from far and near.

"Okay, let's go to the dock after eating, and let Cai Junshou and Guoxian Ling also come."

"No!"

——Qingdao Wharf

It is said to be a wharf, but compared with the wharf of later generations imagined by Ma Qiang, the wharf in front of him is simply a small fishing village.

A group of sergeants and craftsmen stepped off the boat, and an officer and an old craftsman came to Ma Qiang and bowed:

"Humble Zhang Bo to see Ming Gong!"

"Wang Ge meets the camp master!"

"Please, tell me how many ships, how many craftsmen, how many sergeants you have brought?"

Zhang Bo is Zhang Sheng's same clan, while Wang Ge is from the Red Star Battalion.

"I brought thirteen big ships and thirty-one small boats, which can accommodate more than 2,000 sergeants, and this time I brought 1,300 sailors and 200 craftsmen!"

Ma Qiang nodded.

The boats in Quanzhou mainly take the river route, so there are not many sea boats.

Ma Qiang looked back at Cai Ji, who had already arrived, and asked, "How much has Donglai's sailor ship collected?" ”

Cai Ji said with a look of shame, "I am incompetent, and I have only collected less than 20 large and small boats and more than 200 fishermen. ”

Ma Qiang almost wanted to roll his eyes to the sky.

I knew that you Cai Ji was a soft egg in Donglai, but I didn't expect it to be useless.

As long as there are any big clans to help you, it shouldn't be just these people and ships.

“... No problem! Cai Junshou, Qingtian's matter, your progress in Donglai County is a little slow. ”

You can't deal with those wealthy people, just let me come!

"Incompetent!" As he spoke, Cai Ji's eyes turned red, and he looked like he was about to cry.

Hemp eggs! This one by one!

"I know that you don't have many available people under your command, this is Xi Xuan, the word Hongyu, it is Zheng Jun's high feet, let him help you organize the matter of Qingtian, Lin Hai, if there is a strong and strong disobedient, and the army fights against the government, you are responsible for sending troops to exterminate it! If you can't kill it, I'll let Zilong help you! ”

"No!"

The three of them answered together, and then looked at Cai Ji.

Cai Ji couldn't help but shudder when he saw it, he didn't have to think about it to know that the fishy wind in Beihai was about to set off in Donglai.

"This wharf is too small, it must be expanded immediately, in addition, Zhang Bo, I will make you the Sima of the Qingdao Naval Division, you will be stationed here with your fleet, and after the reinforcements arrive, you will go to sea to suppress the thieves!"

"Reinforcements?" Zhang Bo looked at Ma Qiang strangely, could there be other sailors?

"At sea, what comes first?"

"Naturally, the bow and arrow come first!" Zhang Bo replied without thinking.

"The reinforcements I prepared for you are much stronger than bows and arrows, Wang Gong, you will come to me later, I have drawings for you, these big ships must be transformed immediately, time is pressing!"

"Rest assured! The old decay will be completed on time!! ”
