Zhao Gongzi and his entourage docked at the obviously large and excessive wharf in Chengshanpu...... Pu means the water's edge or the place where the river flows into the sea, and all the ports on Tamna Island are called so-and-so.

Before the boat was stable, a group of people of the Li Dynasty who were dressed in shabby clothes rushed to the dock with heavy bottles and cans, bamboo baskets and bamboo baskets on their heads, and shouted at the people on board.

Although they all spoke Korean, looking at the kimchi, salted fish, bacon, wine, and fresh fruits and vegetables on their heads, Zhao Hao felt like the scene when he entered the station by train in the 90s.

Park Chengxing's face couldn't hold back, and he told Zhao Hao that it was because of smuggling in the port. Bai Ding, as well as officials and slaves in nearby Chengshan Town and even Jingyi County, were very scared at first when they saw the Japanese appear, but gradually they became accustomed to it. As a result, they would flock to Seongsanpo to do small business whenever they were trading.

Japanese ships and smuggling ships of maritime merchants also needed supplies. There is supply and demand, and over time, a few days before Shuowang, the villagers of the Li Dynasty will gather here to wait until the ships of both sides leave.

Seeing that it was almost the first day of the seventh month, these mud legs came to eat again as usual. Zhao Hao also saw a few women standing in the distance empty-handed, greasing and powdering, who came to do the skin and meat business.

It's just that these villagers still don't understand that the ship they are waiting for will not come......

Pu Chengxing shouted loudly for these untouchables to get out of the way and not to stain Zhao Gongzi's eyes.

It's a pity that his official robe has long been torn during the previous interrogation, and now he is wearing the blue and black uniform of the Coast Guard, who will bird him?

In order to show humility, Park Sung-sun did not bring his own soldiers on board. This time he was blind, so he had to ask Zhao Hao to send two guards to get off the boat with him and call someone to the nearby water battle station to maintain order.

Zhao Hao smiled and nodded, and asked Wang Rulong to send a few more marines to accompany him.

As soon as the boat got off the boat, Park was surrounded by vendors, and he was not allowed to leave without buying anything. Fortunately, Wang Rulong sent a team to him, and the ship also needed more abundant ingredients, so the team leader asked the vendors to sell to the ship's secretary, and then he escorted Park Chengxing out of the crowd and ran towards the camp on the hillside not far away.

Zhao Hao saw that there were a few boats of Li Chao's sailors moored at the dock, and there was such a big commotion here, no one in the camp came out to check, and the slack of garrison was to the point of being insensible......

But it has nothing to do with him, he only cares about whether the castle and mountain pool are suitable or not.

"How about Brother Jin, is this our fleet base suitable for use?" Zhao Hao looked at the vast harbor and asked casually.

Jin Ke's heart moved, and he glanced at Wang Rulong, and he couldn't hide his surprise. Previously, Childe only said that he wanted to find a port on Jeju Island to serve as a base for the war against the Japanese invaders.

But no matter how dull they are, they can also tell the difference between a fleet base and an advance base, and it is by no means as simple as permanent and temporary......

"Hui Gongzi." Jin Kezi carefully said: "If you only think of this place as a temporary base for punishing the Japanese invaders, it is perfect. If you want to operate as a fleet home port, the foundation is naturally excellent. The problem is that although the harbor is large enough, only Shiroyama and Ushido Island can provide shelter from the wind. Tamna Island is notoriously windy, and the typhoon season will begin next month, so it may be difficult for large fleets to anchor safely. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hao nodded, looked at Wang Rulong again, and said, "Brother Wang, what do you think?" ”

"Of course it's what Childe said, how is it." Wang Rulong said with a smile.

"Don't mind, this is for you to find a nest, don't say what you have now, don't complain about me when the time comes." Zhao Hao said with a smile.

"Hehe, then we'll talk nonsense." Wang Rulong scratched his head, and first said: "My old Wang Sihai is his home, which is a brick of the son, and you can move it wherever you say." ”

caused Zhao Hao to laugh, and Jin Ke also smiled helplessly, Lao Wang became less and less reserved in front of his son.

"However, the sons and daughters of the security team have been stationed on this island thousands of miles away from Daming for a long time, and I am afraid that they will be homesick."

"Hahaha, Tamna Island is not an ordinary island, it is the size of two Kunshan counties." Zhao Hao laughed again.

Wang Rulong hurriedly said: "That's right." However, Chengshan is far away from the main channel, and it is lonely to guard. Why didn't Childe put his home port in Dajing County, which would save trouble and be convenient. ”

"Makes sense." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, you think about it slowly, let's climb the mountain first." ”

"Yes." The two of them nodded, both knowing that Childe was not asking them for advice at all, but was examining them. Hurry up and use your brains to find out what Childe's strategic intentions are.

~~

At this time, Pu Chengxing took a group of officers and soldiers of the Li Dynasty and returned from the water battle station.

The soldiers of the Li Dynasty, wearing hats and cyan jackets, rudely dispersed the compatriots gathered at the dock. Zhao Gongzi still couldn't stand it, so he asked the hawkers to stay at the periphery, and if the sailors on the ship needed anything, he would naturally buy it from them.

He took Qiaoqiao and Secretary Ma, accompanied by Jin Ke and Wang Rulong, along the grassy slope and climbed towards the Sunrise Peak of Chengshan. Pu Chengxing took the hundred households of the water war station and followed behind, waiting for dispatch at any time.

Like a huge crown, Seongsan Sunrise Peak stands at the easternmost tip of Tamna Island...... Well, in fact, the altitude is less than two hundred meters.

However, it is in good shape, except for the northwest side of the harbor, which is slightly gentle, and the southeast and north sides of the sea are steep cliffs, forming an insurmountable natural castle.

Along the humble mountain road dug by the defenders, Zhao Gongzi and his party climbed to the top of the mountain, and they were all shocked by the scenery in front of them.

The whole mountain top is full of vegetation, like a shallow green dish, surrounded by a city wall-like mountain wall, the depression in the middle is very flat, thousands of acres are large, and it can run horses.

And there are really horses here, in addition to more than 100 Mongolian horses, there are also cattle and sheep. Zhao Hao even saw a pigsty.

"Yo, can't you make a mistake with a side hustle?" Zhao Gongzi smiled and glanced at the chubby Baihu, this was the first fat man he saw after coming to Jeju Island.

Raising horses can still be understood as a need for armaments, and pigs, cattle and sheep can only be said to be engaged in a side business.

Speaking of which, the soldiers of this city's landscape warfare station are not as yellow and thin as their comrades elsewhere, and their food is obviously up to par with.

"This ......" Fat Baihu Gao Xuezhi was embarrassed for a while, and looked at the right envoy Park with a busy consultation.

"To tell the truth, Childe knows everything." Park Sung-seung commanded in a deep voice: "You have to respect your son as much as you treat my father, understand?" ”

Gao Xuezhi is born in Pu Chengxing's personal soldiers, otherwise he would not have this fat shortage. Hearing this, he immediately understood that his right envoy had already knelt down, and hurriedly sneered: "Seeing that they are making a lot of money, and the little ones are also very greedy, I bought these pigs, horses, cattle and sheep for the Japanese merchants, temporarily raised them in the mountains, and sold them to them when the ship came, and lived like this under the subsidy of the price difference." ”

"I'm pretty good at business." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded, this Pu Chengxing can be regarded as a good person, no wonder he will make so much money from this city and mountain.

Pu Chengxing diligently asked Gao Xuezhi to lead a few horses and ride them for Zhao Gongzi to play. Kill a few more fat pigs and sheep to work hard.

"Childe, don't look at our Tamna Island, which is not good for crops, but it is a good place to raise livestock!" While loading Zhao Hao with saddles, Pu Chengxing explained: "Not only are we here to raise horses well, but pigs, beef and mutton are also better than other places, especially black pork, which is simply the first delicacy in the world." Childe must try the villain's craftsmanship, my roasted pork skin is delicious! ”

"Haha, okay, then go down the mountain and try your old craftsmanship." Zhao Hao glanced at him with a smile, and Pu Chengxing immediately understood, and pulled Gao Xuezhi down the mountain to Zhang Luo, not disturbing the son's speech.

However, Lao Pu didn't brag, and the wind on Tamna Island has a faint salty taste, so that the plants and trees here are rich in salt and become excellent pastures. Therefore, Tamna Island is a god-given ranch that can be as famous as Hokkaido, of course, in terms of resources, it must not be comparable to Hokkaido......

Zhao Gongzi, who has an excellent appetite, has just stood on the land of Tamluo Island, and he has already coveted the land of Ezo nearly two thousand miles away!

Zhao Gongzi asked Qiaoqiao and Ma Xianglan to continue riding horses in the valley, while he and Jin Wang galloped to the northeast of Sunrise Peak, and then dismounted and climbed the ridge.

When they reached the top of the mountain, the vast expanse of the sea appeared in front of the three of them again.

Zhao Gongzi fanned the wind with a straw hat, turned around and asked the two, "Do you know what is on the other side of the sea?" ”

"It's Japan." Wang Rulong said.

"No, it's our hegemony!" Zhao Hao said to the two henchmen and generals arrogantly: "I confess, I don't pretend, I want to build a super navy across the seven seas, drive Hongmaoyi back to Europe, and let the sun and moon shine and the warships will serve the Han family!" ”

The strong sea breeze blew the red coat on Zhao Gongzi's body into a hunting sound, Jin Ke and Wang Rulong were silent for a moment, but their faces were not surprised at all, but showed a relieved expression.

Then the two of them knelt on one knee at the same time, clasped their fists and said loudly: "I am willing to drive forward for my son, although I will not give up!" ”

"Uh......" Zhao Gongzi let go of the hand that was pressing his head in surprise, if it weren't for the neck rope on the straw hat, he would have to blow it into the sky. Did you two already guess? ”

"The subordinates are the minions of the son, and they see that the son buys guns, builds warships, and arranges sailors, and wants to set up a navigation school!" Jin Xuguang said firmly: "No matter how foolish you are, you know that the ambition of the prince is not in the temple, not in the homeland, but on the sea and frontier!" ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that the ambition of the son is not only in the East and the North Ocean, but also in the South and West Oceans!" Wang Rulong also said with a fanatical excitement: "Okay, well, it is the real ambition of Lingyun to operate the giant ship across the seven seas, and it can be seen in the sky!" ”

"As Childe said, the Westerners have come from thousands of miles of ocean with huge ships, and they show off their might on the Ming Sea with their giant cannons!" Jin Ke and Wang Rulong have been with Zhao Hao for a long time, and their understanding of the changes in the world today is naturally far beyond that of the government and the opposition.

"It's not my intention to seal the marquis, but I hope the sea is flat! The two of us swear to follow the son to the death, sail thousands of miles, and those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away! ”
