After hearing Fei Xin's words, Fang Xiaoru and Li Ba glanced at each other, and each saw deep helplessness in the other's eyes.

In the end, it was Li Ba who spoke first: "General Fei doesn't know, Hou Ye was unconscious at the lighting ceremony last night, and the only Lang Zhong on the island has seen it, which confirms that Hou Ye is really slightly poisoned and unconscious." ”

Fang Xiaoru nodded again and again, and said: "Yes, the old man was also present at that time, judging from the performance of Hou Ye this night, there is indeed no nonsense in this Langzhong." Hou Ye's appearance is also in line with the signs of poisoning, but what we don't understand is the biogas that Hou Ye brewed out, this biogas is toxic We have confirmed, but when the dead man tested the poison, no one behaved like Hou Ye? ”

"Then how long will it take for Master Hou to wake up like this?" Fei Xinjian's eyebrows were furrowed, and he hesitated for a moment in the middle of his words before continuing.

"The two adults may not know that yesterday, the last general had already reported to the Hou Ye, and there might be pirates in the near future. After a day's investigation, the last general found several suspicious traces, indicating that the pirate's spies were almost here. Once they learned that Hou Ye was unconscious, they believed that the war would be inevitable. ”

"And such things, Tang boy is confused!" Fang Xiaoru's eyes widened, earlier he was giving birth to Tang Ming to personally try the danger, and now when he heard about the pirates that Fei Xin said, he was so angry that he scolded his mother directly.

As a veteran of two generations, he had never seen that monarch commit such a foolish thing in his nearly half of his life. The biggest drawback of the ancient monarchy system is that as a monarch, you always take risks yourself, which is absolutely taboo.

But Tang Ming didn't seem to understand this, not to mention that he seemed to be happy with it after repeated dangers, and he didn't have any consciousness as the highest leader of Weihai Island.

Li Ba was diametrically opposed to Fang Xiaoru's reaction at this moment, he didn't agree with Fang Xiaoru's point of view. Thinking that he and Tang Ming can be regarded as close friends, they naturally know much more about them than Fang Xiaoru.

In fact, most of the reasons why Tang Ming would personally take risks were also out of necessity, thinking about these novelties he had concocted, those were the same that others had done, since no one had done it, no one would understand.

According to this line of thinking, when Tang Ming came up with something new, he naturally needed to try everything himself. Borrowing the hand of others, he will also be uneasy, and the comparison is the first time.

"Lord Fang, don't be angry, Master Hou will repeatedly take risks in person, and he should also have his suffering! Besides, Hou Ye is unconscious now, and the matter of piracy cannot be sloppy, so do we have to think of a proper way to deal with the current crisis first. ”

Defending his brother, Li Ba is the one who will not give in, no matter how he says that Tang Ming is also a marquis of the emperor's own title. You Fang Xiaoru is a prisoner, when will it be his turn to point fingers at Tang Ming.

He is still a contemporary great Confucian, and he has no respect for the most basic master. No wonder when he was assisting Jianwen, Jianwen would fall so quickly, with such a strategist, it is no wonder that Jianwen is undefeated.

Li Ba's words were originally more vague, and he deliberately changed the topic later. Fang Xiaoru, a great Confucian, didn't think deeply, and nodded approvingly and agreed to Li Ba's proposal just now.

Fei Xin didn't know the difference in thinking between the two, his only concern was that the pirates might attack in the near future, after listening to Li Ba's words, he said with a wry smile: "Brother Li really don't despise these pirates, although their ships are not as powerful as ours, and their artillery and various offensive methods are not as good as ours, but they are superior to the number of people, and they are highly mobile, and it will be very difficult to deal with them." ”

"What's the difficulty? Please also let Brother Fei know. "Li Ba had lived in Weihaiwei for a long time before, and he hated pirates.

In particular, the long-term harassment of pirates made him unguardable, and he was attacked by them several times because of a momentary negligence, for which he was also named by the emperor to reprimand. In fact, whether these pirates are Japanese or native to the Ming Dynasty, they are not enough compared to the officers and soldiers in the Daming Guard.

One soldier is more than enough to deal with two pirates, but the difficulty is that they are elusive, and if you see a gap, you will not be able to prevent it for a while. They won't fight you face to face, they will fight guerrilla warfare, and they can't get rid of them like flies.

Fei Xin smiled: "I believe that Brother Li should have been in contact with pirates, his cunning, mobility and the characteristics of breaking into pieces are all a headache." Battles like the last time they were ambushed by pirates will certainly not happen again. Brother Li, the defense force on the island, should also understand that there is not even the most basic defensive structure, and there is an extreme shortage of manpower. ”

"In this case, Hou Ye is unconscious again, the island is different from the sea ship, now our island is a fixed target, as long as the pirates come to harass it for three days, I am sure that in less than half a year, we will all be finished."

Fang Xiaoru felt the same when he heard this, Fei Xin's words were reasonable, although he had never dealt with pirates, but he had heard some things, this pirate had indeed gradually become a group of flies parasitic on the Ming Dynasty.

Fei Xin said that Li Ba could naturally understand these situations, like Wei Haiwei had a headache for him in the past. Fortunately, Tang Ming's arrival brought a lot of financial revenue to Weihaiwei, which had the ability to build a strong defense line and make it difficult for pirates to sneak attack again.

Li Ba hadn't had time to inspect the island yet, in his thoughts, Tang Ming should build a defense line as soon as he landed on the island. After all, with Weihaiwei's previous experience, Tang Ming should think of it as soon as possible.

I never thought that Tang Ming didn't seem to do this, just from Fei Xin's mouth, it can be known that he doesn't even have the most basic defense facilities, how can this be? Li Ba felt incredible.

"Is Brother Li wondering why Master Hou didn't build a defense line first?" Fei Xin asked with a wry smile when he saw Li Ba's expression.

Nodding, Li Ba admitted Fei Xin's conjecture.

"Actually, when Hou Ye didn't go to the island, he had already planned to build a defense line, but when this island first came up, everything was almost zero, and everything had to start from scratch. All the changes that you see now are created by people who have worked hard day and night. It is not easy to have such changes in a short period of time, where is there time to build any line of defense? ”

Fei Xin didn't expect this island to be so desolate at first, after all, before Tang Ming arrived, there were already people here to take care of bison and wild horses on this island. Some basic facilities should still be there, but the truth is cruel, the emperor is not ready to include this small island in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, all he wants is the cattle and horses on the island, and everything else is not worth mentioning to him at all.
