As the Xuanyi and the fishing boat gradually retreated, some small loach boats and yachts, sampans and even shadowless boats quickly approached the Xuanyi, and Meng Yuan's ships also released some arsonists, but because the wind was very small, the speed of the arsonist boats was very limited.

Fei Zhishan's brows gradually furrowed, the Xuanyi's vision became worse and worse, and the smoke around him became thicker and thicker, so he pressed the intercom and asked the lookout post: "Lookout, do you see any danger approaching?" ”

After a short while, Master Wei Jie's voice came: "Master Fei, I think it is necessary to send a report to the Shangren to report our situation, and even, we should approach the south outpost of Guanchong Fjord, we have Scorpions, if we move to the south outpost of Guanchong Fjord, if the sea attack force is combined with the land attack force, the odds of victory can be much greater." Also, why hasn't the hot air balloon been raised yet? ”

Fei Zhishan glanced at the deck and also pressed the walkie-talkie: "Now there are too many enemies, thirty launch teams are dropping bazookas in a desperate manner, there is no place to deploy a hot air balloon on the deck, if we want to deploy a hot air balloon and lift it off, we don't have time for two or three words, it is simply impossible." If we stop firing bazookas, not a single word, we will be caught up by thirty or forty ships, large and small. ”

At this time, there was a noisy sound on the deck:

"Electrocuted one, electrocuted a water ghost"

"Two were electrocuted in the stern of the port side and two in the stern of the port side"

"Not dead, the water ghost is alive again, release the arrow, release the arrow, shoot him."

"Three people shoot! Don't let him run. ”

At this time, Mi Sanmei's loud and high-pitched scolding voice came: "Stab him with an electric pole, stab him directly, strangle him by the neck, stupid, electricity comes out in such deep water, continue to use the electric pole twice to electricity, don't keep putting it in the water, lift it up, and then plug it in." Otherwise, the electricity will be gone! ”

Then Mi Simei's surprised voice came: "Sister, Yang Niangniang, I electrocuted a string, they are holding hands, big man's, it's disgusting." That, Hui Niang, that grenade is thrown down, what, you can't pull the string? You give me ......"

After a while, twenty or thirty palace maids on the boat, in groups of two or three, walked along the side of the boat, giggling and throwing grenades while holding a sea-probing electric fork to fish.

Not far away, four or five Mengyuan's sea ships had been unfolded and began to use trebuchets, which had a bad vision at night, and the first thing they put was a straw ball that was on fire, which could show the trajectory very clearly in the night sky.

Master Wei Jie said eagerly: "Lord Fei, our hot air balloon will not rise again, if the deck is attacked in a while, we will have no counterattack power, and now the Xuanyi has no oarsman, so we will make a decision immediately, Lord Fei." ”

Fei Zhishan said: "But now the enemy's bed crossbow is also approaching, if the hot air balloon is hit." ”

Master Wei Jie said: "Then retreat at full speed and open up the distance, so that when the hot air balloon rises into the air, it will also float further backwards and attack the enemy closer." ”

Fei Zhushan saw that the battle situation was indeed urgent, so he picked up the microphone of the nine-headed bird: "I am Fei Zhushan, now order, Cao Fan immediately retreats at full speed, Song Qing immediately organizes the hot air balloon to take off, Mi Sanmei, come back and send a telegram to the Venerable." ”

In the base camp of Eagle's Beak Rock, Xiao Bing took the telegram to Lin Xi: "Venerable, Xuanyi is in an emergency." ”

Lin Xi didn't look up, just said, "Read." ”

Xiao Bing read: "Report on the eagle's beak rock, the Xuanyi was besieged by the enemy, and planned to raise the hot ball, and rushed to the south post of the fjord to ask for Scorpion help."

Lin Xi asked, "What does Marshal Tu think?" ”

Tu Xicai said: "Let the Scorpion go to the south outpost of Guanchong Fjord, give support to the Xuanyi, and then lift off a hot air balloon, which can basically hit attacks within three miles, in fact, the entire Guanchong Fjord is within our coverage, so that we can give the Xuanyi shelter." Fei Zhishan may be a little presumptuous. ”

Lin Xi sighed: "After all, it is an army of 500,000, in the short term, we do not have the strength to completely wipe out, you can arrange it, no matter what, the Xuanyi cannot be lost, otherwise it will have a great impact on morale." ”

Tu Xicai said: "Yes, the ministry will arrange it." ”

Lin Xi asked Xiaobing to light an incense burner, and after a while, the smell of ambergris spread faintly, Lin Xi stood up, walked a few steps, and said to Jiang Chen: "Chief Jiang, now that Yashan is about to be fully recovered, as the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, what do you think?" ”

Jiang Chen hurriedly stood up, and Lin Xi pressed Jiang Chen's shoulder: "Sit down, there is no need to be polite, our population, people's livelihood, tax burden, and labor in the future are all on the shoulders of your Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the responsibility is heavy, let's talk about it." ”

Jiang Chen looked at Lin Xi's eyes, but he didn't mean to examine them, and his heart warmed at the moment:

"Today, the people's livelihood in Yashan today,

The first is to purge the remnants of the enemy;

The second is to excavate food and materials, of course, there is the question of how to deal with the original Song army, as well as deserters, rogues and Han people, and how to resettle them;

Thirdly, there is production, trade, and access to tax revenues;

Fourth, I think that the Xuanyi Army still has to expand and continue to produce and attack, and I don't know how the Venerable Master will arrange for the Engineering Academy, but I still need food, drink, food, and production materials if I want to come.

Fifth, Yashan is currently collecting materials, and it should be far from meeting the consumption of the war, after all, the current tactics of the Xuanyi Army, that is, heaps of silver, and the treatment of soldiers far exceeds that of the previous dynasty, we have no money, and it is unrealistic to collect taxes from the people of Yashan, and it is already spring, and it is about to be sown, otherwise we have no hope of summer harvest, if Meng Yuan loots the surrounding area again, when the time comes, set a fire, they withdraw for a while, and the soldiers and civilians here have to feed us, and we will be consumed to death.

Sixth, but to produce, we need seeds, people, even rain and medicine. To be taxed, the Great Song Dynasty trade has always been profitable, but the Song Court did not have much tax before, and now if the waterway is not cleared, the cargo ship may not go from us, and the tax collection amount must be very small.

I'm afraid that we can sell the refined salt produced by the boiled Poseidon Cauldron invented today, and the profit will be huge, but if it can't be shipped, it will be troublesome.

Moreover, there are too few available people under my command.

Xia Guan couldn't think of a good way at once, so please show it today. ”

Lin Xi said: "Well, don't worry, we have two major things now, the first is survival, and the second is development."

To survive is to fight the battle in front of you well.

If we want to fight a good war, we need supplies, so we must first collect all the materials that belong to the Song army in Yashan.

You can't say that, but I'll tell you, and there will be no burden in your hearts. ”

Jiang Chen said: "Today, then, the placement of those Song soldiers? ”

Lin Xi said: "You just have to write it down, now that our new dynasty and new country have been established, the original emperor and queen mother have been integrated into the new dynasty;

All military assets are nationalized, and all rights are vested in the sacred state of China;

Those who do not make friends are the enemies of the Holy China Kingdom and the Xuanyi Army, and they can only be exterminated according to the strategy against the enemy;

Those who served as soldiers and junior officers, laid down their arms, and could leave with no more than fifty taels of silver per person, were given three days to leave the island by issuing a document for a time limit.

Those who do not leave on their own and resist stubbornly will be beheaded, and their corpses will be thrown into the sea for 30 days, and all their family property will be confiscated, and they will serve ten years of hard labor within the three tribes.

Killing the rebellious officers, who surrender anyway, less than 100 households, pardoned and acquitted, and allowed to distribute the prize from the confiscation of the property of the rebellious officers, each person can hold a maximum of no more than 1,000 taels, 1,200 taels for the captain, and 2,000 taels for the centurion.

Among the rebels, those who are not the first evil, and who have more than 1,000 households, are demoted to civilian populations, deprived of property, and have completed ten years of military service, and can be restored to free people, and those who have made military merits can obtain citizenship.

All the property of the Mengyuan Dynasty was confiscated, and those who killed and raped the Han people in their hands were to serve hard labor for life and be reformed.

After the expiration of the twenty-year period, the ideological transformation is complete, and the freemen can be allowed to return to the freedmen on their own. Those with outstanding meritorious service may be rewarded as civilians, and they are allowed to work, marry, have children, and study.

By the way, those who have not served in the military are not entitled to pension insurance. ”

Jiang Chen was struggling to write, when he suddenly heard a new word, and hurriedly raised his hand and asked: "Today, dare to ask what is endowment insurance?" ”

Lin Xi thought to herself, did I take too big a step?
