"Lord Wang, if you let them go like this, aren't you afraid that they won't come back?" Zheng Baolin asked Li Qing.

Li Qing sneered: "If they don't come back, they only have a dead end, this is the territory of the Shimazu family, without the support of this king, do you think the Shimazu family will let them go?" ”

"The prince is reasonable, but the last general is stupid......"

"Okay, let's not talk about this, this time I went south to gain a lot." Li Qing said to Zheng Baolin; "But all this is just the beginning, originally the king just wanted to establish a stronghold on the island, but now it seems that things are not as simple as the king thinks, to complete the strategic goal of the emperor may not be so easy, the construction of the sailor ships, the construction of the sailor camp on the islands, and its weapons, armor, grain and grass will be a lot of expenses, and the islands must have a left-behind army......

Li Qing said a lot but Zheng Baolin didn't understand these at all, Li Qing was considering the strategy of the Great Xia Empire's southward expansion by sea, and after Li Qing went south, he finally found that the sea was too big as Li Liangzuo said, and it was not a bloody effort to conquer the sea, but tenacious perseverance, and this task might last for ten or even twenty years, and the cost was huge.

The next morning, the fangs and minions returned, and although some were wounded, no one died; Li Qing stood on a mound of earth and said to the fangs and minions: "Very good, you have completed this mission very well, in view of your outstanding performance, I will reward you with ten taels of silver each......

For Li Qing's generous reward, the members of Fangs and Minions were very happy, if Li Qing beat them to the head and broke the blood before, making them very afraid of themselves, now they are giving a sweet date, let them die for themselves, this is the means used by the superiors, extraordinary means.

After the fleet set sail and continued north, all the coastal villages and towns along the way were destroyed, Li Qing ordered the fangs and minions to land and attack everywhere they went, looting was secondary, the main thing was killing, and many people were also captured, at first it was mainly some young women, aged between sixteen and thirty-five, and the fate of these women was to become camp prostitutes, after all, women were also needed in the barracks, and they had to wash the clothes of the soldiers in addition to the tools they had to bear......

Li Qing was fishing on the deck, Kitano Jiro came to Li Qing's side, since the fangs and minions competed, because they did not have an advantage in numbers, the minions basically lost every time, which made Kitano Jiro very annoyed, and the members of the minions were basically bullied by the fangs every day.

"Say it! What are you looking for? Li Qing asked.

Kitano Jiro knelt behind Li Qing and said very respectfully: "Master, the slave has reported to the master when he sees the matter, and hopes that the master will allow it." ”

"Say it! What's the matter? Li Qing glanced at Jiro Kitano with sharp eyes, and Jiro Kitano trembled with fright.

Kitano Jiro respectfully said to Li Qing: "Master, the slave wants to expand the number of minions, so I beg my master to allow it." ”

"Didn't the king say it at the beginning! As long as you have this ability, you can expand as much as you want, but Lao Tzu tells you that Lao Tzu's subordinates don't want to waste, do you understand? Li Qing said with a serious face.

"The slave understands, please rest assured that the master ......"

After Kitano Jiro went back, he told all the members of the minions the news, and Kitano Jiro said to everyone: "Every time we compete, we can't beat Fangs, don't they just rely on the number of people?" From tomorrow we will not only take prisoners of women, but also men and strong men, as long as they are willing to join us, we can spare them, if not, there is only a dead end, understand? ”

"Understood, please rest assured, chief."

Under Kitano Jiro's high-pressure policy, there are more and more members of the minions, and Masao Yamashita can't sit still watching the number of minions increase, so the fangs and minions ushered in a period of expansion, during this period, they expanded their forces by catching strong men, and at the same time formed a complete set of class systems among the fangs and minions, under this high-pressure system, the combat power of the fangs and minions grew rapidly, and at the same time became very brutal, but these were limited to dealing with the Japanese people, For Li Qing and the others, they are still like dogs, even ordinary sailors, they still nod their heads.

After a long voyage, Li Qing and others finally returned to Canghai Island, during the time that Li Qing left, Canghai Island was greatly built, everything was carried out steadily according to the plan specified when Li Qing left, Li Qing led such a huge fleet back, so that the entire Canghai Island fell into a carnival.

Canghai Island, Li Qing sat on the main seat and said to everyone: "This time we have gained a lot from going south, and we will have a second and third time in the future, we will not only go south, but also where to establish a permanent base, we must completely control the entire golden waterway, and let him become our cornucopia." ”

"King Shengming, King Shengming......"

"Zhou Hai, how many things did you rob this time to the big guys." Li Qing said happily.

"On your journey south, we have plundered eight sea-going ships, twelve fishing boats, more than six hundred women, and two teams, fangs and minions; In addition, there were 10,000 taels of gold, 3 million taels of silver, nearly 1,000 horses of silk, tea, and porcelain......"

"This harvest is quite rich, and there are also rewards for the people who set out this time, and all the people who went out were rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, two brocades, and a slave girl for meritorious service......"

"The Great King Shengming ......"

"Zhou Tao, the two servant armies of fangs and minions brought back by this king, give them an independent island, and give them dozens of female slaves, and all the food and grass supplies are under your control."

"Yes, the lowly understands ......"

"From now on, we will develop the southern tip of the island, in addition to training fishing, we will also develop the places that can be cultivated, and when we are idle, we will sweep around, and let the fangs and minions be the pioneers......"

That night, Li Qing held a celebration party on Canghai Island, Li Qing came to the room drunk, at this time Chen Shu was already waiting for Li Qing, Li Qing stroked Chen Shu's little face and said: "You were robbed by this king, but this king told you that you will not be the lady of the village, this king is actually not a pirate leader, when you go back this time, this king will take you back, and then you will know the identity of this king." ”

Chen Shu was naturally puzzled by Li Qing's words, unconsciously it had been three months since Li Qing went south, and the Great Xia Empire had already read the chapter of the new year, Li Qing felt that it was time to go back, the purpose of going south for the first time had basically been achieved, and a more important purpose of Li Qing's return this time was to persuade Li Liangzuo to continue to allow the sailors to expand their army.

After Li Qing lived on Canghai Island for more than ten days, he set out on the journey back to the north after arranging everything, and before leaving, Li Qing left Zheng Baolin behind, and when he returned, he only took the Sea Dragon, the Yellow River and the Weishui, and the rest of the ships and soldiers stayed on Canghai Island.
