The officer in charge of logistics stood up and said, "Returning to the commander, the logistics work has been completed!" All the ammunition, food, medicine and other materials needed by the ships have been put in place in the dock warehouse. The materials needed by the Second Fleet have already arrived at the warehouse at the Ryukyu Terminal, where they have been inspected by a special person and ready to be used at any time. This is the details, please check it. ”

After speaking, he handed Liu Pei a detailed note. Liu Pei said after reading through the system: "Good job! You know, it's about logistics when you fight! The soldiers must be free of worries! ”

Then Liu Pei turned to Liu Jiang and said, "Is there anything to add from the intelligence bureau?" ”

Liu Jiang said: "I just received the news that Zheng Yiguan appeared in Fujian and met with several maritime merchants. It seems that Zheng Yiguan's side may make a move at any time! ”

Liu Pei then asked, "What about the Daming Water Master?" ”

Liu Jiang said: "There is no action! However, many officers and soldiers of the Daming Navy Division left the barracks in private and did not know where to go, and they should have joined Zheng Yiguan's fleet. And it was seen that multiple carriages had entered and exited the barracks. So we suspect that Zheng Yiguan may have obtained a batch of ordnance. It is initially estimated that it should be a firearm such as a gun. ”

The meeting went on step by step, and Liu Pei listened to the reports of various departments in detail. And for the last time the battle plan was discussed. Just as Liu Pei was about to dismiss the meeting, a guard appeared in the conference room, and Jiang handed Liu Jiang a well-sealed letter.

Liu Jiang saw a big ear painted on the envelope at a glance, and knew that it was urgent. After getting Liu Pei's consent, he opened it to read. After a while, he said: "Dashuai, our people have found traces of Zheng Yiguan in a private port in Quanzhou, Fujian. There are also more than forty seagoing ships assembled in the private harbor. ”

Liu Pei said: "It seems that he is about to do it!" Immediately inform everyone of Level 1 Combat Readiness! ”

After Liu Pei gave the order, the meeting ended here. Immediately after the meeting, Liu Pei boarded a ship and headed for Ryukyu to join the Second Fleet assembled there. The First Fleet is under the command of Wu Yizhou, who will be responsible for entanglement of Zheng Zhilong's main force and laying the foundation for the Second Fleet to completely annihilate the opponent. Before the Second Fleet arrived, Wu Yizhou and they had to withstand tremendous pressure!

Just when Liu Pei boarded the ship for Ryukyu, Zheng Zhilong of Fujian was also discussing countermeasures. He was sitting with the same people as last time. Among these people, except for Zheng Zhilong's brother, are his good friends, so the atmosphere is quite harmonious.

Gan Hui closed the paper in his hand and said, "Yiguan, these are the ships that can be gathered this time, and no one else plans to participate." It seems that Li Ye should not have called a halt to the war last time, he should have persevered and completely defeated the red-eyed snake! Now that it's like this, a lot of people are waiting to see the joke! ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "Li Ye also had to stop the war in order to allow me to take over the position smoothly!" But it doesn't matter, if you defeat the red-eyed snake this time, they will still be obedient! ”

Gan Hui shook his head and said, "Alas, forget it, don't talk about it!" Let's talk about the island attack. We plan to send 80 ships to surround the island first, which is simple, but will we still attack the island? ”

Shi Daxuan said: "I think we should try to attack!" How many people on the island did the Pathfinder brothers find out? ”

"The brothers said that there were often two boats parked on the island. Personnel, about four or five hundred people. They were very well defended, and the people who were investigating couldn't get close to the front, so I don't know how many artillery pieces there were! ”

Zheng Zhihu said: "If this is the case, we can't really attack!" The losses will be very heavy, not cost-effective! ”

Shi Daxuan said: "You still have to fight!" We need to put pressure on them to keep urging the red-eyed snake to send people, so that it can play the role of luring the enemy. ”

Gan Hui nodded and said, "That's right! But if you can't do anything, you can't attack it. Or use the method of siege. As long as we crush the fleet of red-eyed snakes, this island is within reach! ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "Since this is the case, then do it." I personally took people to the island. Zhifeng waited for news with the ambush fleet. Remember, you can't go until there's definite information that proves he didn't leave him behind! ”

Zheng Zhifeng said disapprehantly: "It's okay! We have gathered almost 200 ships this time, what if he has an ambush? Just eat him! ”

Zheng Zhilong said: "It's not that simple. The sea around the islands is too open, and it's hard to surround them! Only by completely blocking them, or forcing them to get closer to the island, can we be sure of victory! Otherwise, it will be very bad for us if we are dragged to fight guerrillas on the sea as before. ”

Everyone discussed the specific plan of this battle again, and Zheng Zhilong finally said: "Then so be it, wait for the arrival of the ships we have leased from other maritime merchants, and then we will set off." This time, we must completely defeat this red-eyed snake! ”

After Liu Pei arrived in the Ryukyus, he did not live in the imperial palace, but lived directly in the military camp. For the people of the Ryukyus, he, the king of the Ryukyus, really has no sense of existence! The people heard the name Fang Degang more.

But to the people, it didn't matter who ruled them. The key is to enable them to live a peaceful and happy life. And Liu Pei did exactly that.

Liu Pei's huge army and fleet created a huge demand. And these needs naturally have to be reflected in the procurement officers in the barracks. Huge amounts of food, livestock, and poultry are all things that these people can provide. Not to mention things like cloth.

So during the period when Liu Pei ruled the Ryukyus, the life of the people was much better. Even fishermen, who used to have low incomes, have incomes far higher than in previous years. Liu Pei's quartermaster bought a large amount of marine fish at the same time as the livestock, and then sent it to the barracks kitchen to convert it into food for the young men, and the young men were eaten one by one. The money paid by the quartermaster made the regional economy more active. As a result, the inhabitants and victims of the Ryukyus soon forgot about their former rulers and began to sing the praises of Liu Peilai.

What's more, Liu Pei also sent people to establish Mongolian schools in various villages. This is something that no ruler has ever done before! It has become the idea of every parent to let children read and no longer be illiterate like themselves. And the school will also pay for one lunch, which makes the family's financial situation more relaxed. So Ryukyu easily fell into the hands of Liu Pei.

As for someone vaguely mentioning the issue of worrying about Fang Degang's self-reliance, Liu Pei scoffed at all! Liu Pei clearly knows that as long as the army is firmly controlled in his hands, no matter who wants to stand on his own, he will not succeed!

Lee Dae-ju is the new commander of Shinjima. He was one of the old men who joined Liu Pei's command relatively early. Because Li Dazhu is smart and studious, he is relatively fast in literacy. In addition, he is diligent and serious in the team, so he is promoted quickly.

This time, he was selected by Qi Qitao to garrison Xindao, and he came with the determination to die! After following Liu Pei for so long, he knew that Dashuai was a generous person, and he would never withhold his little money! At his level, there are 300 taels of silver alone. The family can also get 50 acres of land! In this way, his wife and young son will grow up safely. And there are many robes to shelter and take care of, and they don't worry about their orphans and widows being bullied!

Not only that, the more Li Dazhu learned after joining the army, the more he had a sense of honor as a soldier. He felt the value of his existence in this team. Just like the instructor said, sooner or later, Dashuai will lead everyone to a big world where everyone is well fed and warmly dressed! And this tempting future depends on soldiers like Li Dazhu to obtain. So Li Dazhu feels that he has a particularly important mission! This time, Qi Qitao talked to him, and he immediately agreed to this extremely risky task.

When he arrived on the island, he was not idle for a moment. Busy all day between the hilltop fort and the cottage. He felt that a scheming character like Zheng Zhilong would definitely not let him stay on the island peacefully. So he's doing his best to prepare for battle.
