The conditions of the port are much better than those of the port of Jinoujiao, the port area is large, and the river flows into the sea from here, which is the best and safest road to extend inland.

However, the population is limited, and there is Jinougang City not far away, Cao Xing finally decided to build only a wooden village as a supply base, the wooden village is much smaller than the wooden city, and the construction is naturally much faster, only less than a day.

Looking at the wooden village built first, Cao Xuan felt very satisfied, and even more satisfied with the speed of construction, his eyes drifted from the civil and military forces that stopped to rest, and finally stayed on Bao Xing, the eldest brother of the Bao family.

Cao Xing walked to Bao Xing's side, only to see that there were branches and leaves left over from his work on his shoulders, and he couldn't help but reach out and pick them up.

Bao Xing hurriedly got up excitedly: "Thank you, lord!" ”

Cao Xing said with a smile that there was no need to be polite, as he had more and more concubines, especially Shi Xue, who had his father Shi Xie of Jiuqing Shaofu, Shi Xue, the eldest brother of Jiaozhi Taishou, Tian Xiang, who had Tian Shao, the father of Liaodong Taishou, Lu Lingqi, who had Lu Bu, the father of Zhonglang, Mrs. Mi Zhu, who had Xuzhou's father Mi Zhu, and Zhen Jia, a giant of Hebei Wang.

Even the Xianbei sisters Chun'er and Qiu'er have a regular attendant Cao Jian who serves the queen mother, and they are twins, so they have a natural advantage.

The most inconspicuous Cao Xiu also has an elder brother Cao Ben who is led by a holy elephant with a white flag behind him.

As for Shuang'er, who has no relatives and no reason and doesn't even have a surname, let alone that, as his first concubine, she is low-key and low-key, and she doesn't earn or make trouble, and she has a natural advantage in her feelings.

And I can be sure that in the eyes of Bao Xing and other family members, Bao Sanniang is a completely ugly girl, and only with such a "heavy taste" will she "wrong" herself and show so affection.

So in their own opinion, as well as their performance, the Bao family is trustworthy.

"Brother Xing, how is this Golden Oujiao Village?"

Cao Xing asked with a smile.

Bao Xing's eyes showed a little intoxication: "Compared with the original Baojiazhai, it is stronger, richer in resources, more convenient in transportation, and more close to the sea, Jinoujiao Village, it is really a good place!" ”

That's what you're waiting for.

The smile on Cao Xing's face was even stronger: "Brother Xing! Then this Golden Oujiao Port will be handed over to you! I'll give you a hundred regular soldiers, a team of fifty banner soldiers, and a team of five Xiaotian troops, how about defending this place for our Han and making this place a supply base for the South China Sea route!? ”

Although the number of commanders is not as large as it is now, this is a rare opportunity for Bao Xing to defend one side alone, and he bows his hand:

"The last general commands!"

"Good!"

Cao Xing praised it and waved it again at the other civil and military hands:

"Then it's time for us to go again! Except for the people left behind, the whole army boarded the ship! ”

"All the troops are on board!"

"Woo~"

The sound of the herald's command and the special rhythm of the horn led Cao Jun's soldiers and civilians to start boarding the ship, and when Cao Xing, who finally boarded the ship, jumped on the deck, he saw a large number of sailless fishing boats dragging behind the surrounding sailboats.

How did you forget about the means of transportation?

Cao Xuan patted his thigh hard:

"Leave ten fishing boats as personal belongings and give them to Bao Xing!

Another dhow was sent to lead fifty fishing boats, transported to Jin'ou Port, and presented to Zhang Bai personally.

And spread the word to them, these fishing boats are their personal property, which can be given or leased, and resold to the soldiers and civilians in the city!

The dhow sent a letter to Zou Tao, ordering him to immediately send a detachment of troops to serve as a communication force and a maritime patrol fleet between the newly built walled cities. ”

"No!"

Watching the herald leave, Cao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I didn't go far." ”

The whole army, except for the naval division, who had a good rest, the soldiers and civilians, including Cao Xing, were tired for a day and a night, and now that they are on the boat, they can finally have a good rest again.

Cao Xuan stretched his waist, walked to the cabin, and entered a room of his own.

As soon as Cao Xuan entered, the voice of Yingying Yanyan came from inside, and after a while, Huang Yueying blushed again and walked to the next room.

——

Time flew by, and the Chu army and civilians swept and occupied the islands along the coastline after the Jinoujiao Village, and established a stronghold at the location of the later Di Shi Wan Di Shi City in Vietnam.

The stronghold was named Di Shizhai, leaving behind the first-class commander and the old subordinate of the general, Lu Fan, leading 100 regular soldiers, 50 banner soldiers, and five Xiaotian troops.

It took a day to clean the islands along the way, ensuring the passage, wasting some time, and only harvesting dozens of captives on the island.

The time has come to the end of summer, and this time the Chu army's ocean-going fleet has encountered a huge island.

The scout ship sailed around the island for thousands of miles, which shows the size of the island.

When the cartographer handed the map of the island like a chicken leg to Cao Xing, Cao Xing put pen to paper for his famous island - Phu Quoc Island.

Phu Quoc Island is its current name and the name of later generations, which was the largest island in Vietnam, but now it is one of more than a dozen large islands in Dahan.

"Such a large island, with lush trees and coconut trees on the seaside, come and hide in the mob on the island!

Release the prisoner of war male Ding plus eight flags! Search the island! Remember to be as alive as possible! ”

"No!"

Once again, the prisoners of war and the Eight Banners were extremely skilled, although the island was very large and there were a lot of resources at first glance, but they no longer had the idea of hiding.

There is also a reason for the lessons of the past, that is, such a large island, with the role of the Chu army in the past, fools can see that it will be occupied.

"Huh! It's finally our turn this time, General Huangfu! ”

A military general looked at the main general next to him.

This chief general is not an outsider, the senior brother of Cao Xing, the nephew of the left car general Huangfu Song.

Huangfu Tan's expression was indifferent: "The lord transferred us from Rinan, which is naturally useful!" Let's search the island for a good time! You joined our Chu army at the same time as Zhang Baiqi, Xie Lang, and Zhou Zuo, and now Zhang Baiqi and Xie Lang have become generals, you have to work hard! ”

"No!"

Bai Huan was stimulated by the words, put away his frivolity, and went forward to join the search island.

About half an hour later, a cry came from the island:

"There is an enemy! There is an enemy! ”

This voice was not far from Bai Huan, and Bai Huan immediately made a decision: "Inform the general!" The rest of the collection! ”

"Assemble!"

Hundreds of people gathered around, and through word of mouth, more and more people gathered.

Bai Huan led the people to the shouting place, only to see dozens of flag soldiers and prisoners of war confronting hundreds of primitively dressed men.

"No wonder I asked for help, it turned out that I was afraid of losing my hand!

Very well, you have guaranteed the lives of these natives, and I will ask the lord for credit for you! ”
