In the South China Sea, out of the southwest of Taiping Bay, the coast running from north to south was blocked here, and a fleet of thousands of sails sailed along the coast.

The white sails accompanied the snow-white seagulls, the big Chu characters were written in the middle of the sails, and there were some small frames that seemed to be invisible on many masts, and soldiers like ants were watching.

"There are people on the shore! There are people on the shore! ”

"Huanglong Tianzun is above! What is that! It's a village, it's not! It should be said that it is a city! ”

"There is a city! There is a city on the shore! ”

The lookout shouted, and the more he shouted, the more joyful he became, as if he was about to jump from a height of several feet.

"What? City? Is there a city on the South China Sea? ”

Cao Xuan hurriedly walked out of the cabin, and poor Lu Lingqi finally slept alone, but she was interrupted.

By the time I got out of the bow and climbed into the command cabin, all the decks of the ships were already full of people, all of them were looking to the shore, and even the ships were tilted a little.

"Take turns! Get back! Go back in one batch! Watch out for the boat! ”

The captains of the major ships began to maintain order.

One watched unwillingly, and muttered to himself: "I knew that some labor prisoners would be left on the ship, so that they could press the ship." ”

The Red Banner Soldier who was wearing a fake Dubo on the side drank: "Ah Hu, how can there be so much to say!" ”

"I know Gao Tsai Dubo!"

Ah Hu was still unwilling, and put his body in the military uniform of the commander of the army to Gao Zai:

"Gao Zai, you said that this time we established Qiyan and Huaxin strongholds in the west of Taiping Bay along the way.

He also established a stronghold of Chun Tent in the south, and also occupied Daodao Island and Samui Island, and placed all the prisoners in labor camp on two islands far from the coast, and carried out large-scale development, establishing Daodao City and Samui City.

There are a total of three strongholds of Qiyan, Huaxin, and Chuncang, and two cities of Daodao and Samui, and now they have discovered a city on the west coast, does this mean that there is another big move? ”

Gao Zai looked at this brother of life and death and nodded: "According to my speculation, this time the lord will definitely not let go of these cities, just like the thousands of natives on Dao Island and Samui Island." ”

Ah Hu showed admiration on his face, and was slapped short by Gao Zai: "Tell you to listen more during the theory class, you don't want to, these are all things that can be learned in class." ”

Ah Hu cried with a sad face, like a wronged little daughter-in-law:

"If I had a good Chinese level like you, wouldn't we be able to study hard? The gentleman does not teach Funan language. ”

Gao Zai was silent at this time.

At the other end, in the flagship command cabin, Cao Xing took out a monocular made of transparent crystal and carefully looked at the city on the shore.

Through the monoculars, Cao Xing saw the smoke rising at first glance, and locked the position through the smoke, and when he looked down, a wooden house, thatched house came into view, and there was a wooden wall on the outermost periphery.

The command cabin is not as high as the watchtower, and the line of sight is also affected to a certain extent, but it is only the wooden wall built by the natives, that is, the sea voyage has never encountered it along the way, and then you can't see the hundreds of cooking smoke, what is this shore is not a city?

At this moment, a group of people, or rather soldiers, suddenly appeared in the monoculars.

Most of these people are bare-chested and have leather skirts or grass skirts, and most of them have spears in their hands, some of them are made of wood and bone, and if they are accompanied by oil paint and shields, they are the African primitives and Indian primitives that Cao Xing has seen on the TV set.

More and more of these primitive natives ran to the seaside, and there were dozens of people with bows and arrows, knives, swords, axes, hammers and other weapons, and even quasi-armor.

A rough calculation shows that there are no less than 3,000 soldiers left, and the number is still increasing.

"O big city!"

Cao Xing's face not only did not show worry, but also sighed loudly with some pity, at this time, the generals who had already arrived in the civil and military forces were already eager to try.

"My lord, the last general is willing to be the vanguard and take this city for you!"

It was not Lu Bu who asked for his life, but Yang Feng, Han Xian, Zhang Yang, etc., who had been accompanying him, and all the generals such as Bao Long and Xing Daorong, who had just arrived.

"The military heart is available, the military heart is available!"

Cao Xuan praised, and was just about to start assigning the task, when a lookout suddenly shouted overhead:

"There's an expedited clipper! There's an expedited clipper! ”

Hearing the expedited clippers, Cao Xing felt a lock in his heart for some reason, and always felt that something bad was about to happen.

"Guide the expedited clippers to the flagship!"

The flag-bearer began waving the herald flag, and the expedited clipper with red sails was guided to the flagship, and the red-painted dhow sails stood out.

Red Sail Expedited Clipper, no matter what ship and people meet must give way, you deserve to be knocked over, you delay the speed of the expedited clipper, then three hundred years of prison is waiting for you, three hundred years, how to reduce the sentence can be enough for you to die.

As for those who dare to rob the expedited clipper, then your whole family of the nine clans should talk about it quickly, the three hundred years of imprisonment of the nine clans of Zhulian will be forced by the army of the Chu army, and after escaping, you will also face the highest wanted, and the reward for the most wanted criminal can not care whether you live or die.

This shows how important an expedited clipper is.

A man dressed in a flying fish brocade suit climbed onto the deck, held a letter high above his head, and with a pop of it, he knelt on one knee and knelt down in front of Cao Xing, who came to greet him:

"Lord, urgent letter!"

The messenger did not say a word, which amazed others at his service and at his secrecy.

Cao Xing didn't look at the flying fish costume much, saying that it was a night walk in brocade clothes, but after a long time, he had to show up in front of the world after all, which could not only increase the deterrence on the bright side, but also make up for the brocade guards who had lived in the shadows for a long time, and tell them that one day, they would also be able to wear brocade flying fish suits openly.

Cao Xing shook his head vigorously, threw out the distracting thoughts in his heart, opened the urgent letter and looked at it, his heart suddenly chuckled, and his heart almost exploded.

Cao closed his eyes to hide his emotions.

Unexpectedly, there was a big mess in Luoyang after all!

First, Yuan Feng vigorously attacked the cabinet, and had to squeeze into it, and after the failure, he joined forces with Prime Minister Yuan Kui to abolish the cabinet, and then the parliament, the separation of powers, and a series of his own new policies had to be abolished.

But this time it touched the interests of too many people, not to mention the interests of the subordinate ministers of the cabinet, as well as the interests of the six ministers of the cabinet.

There are also 36 Shangshu servants in the Congress, including Xun You, Zhong Xuan, Zhao Song, etc.

There are 18 people in Shangshu Lingshi, and these positions are all concurrently served by court officials, and there are a total of 56 national scholars.

With the addition of state and county officials, there are 2 people from each state and 1 person from each county, for a total of 131 people in the local area.

There are a total of 187 scholars in the imperial court and the local government.
