The next morning, the wind and waves are calm, under the illumination of a round of sunrise, the island reveals his whole picture, this is a small island within a radius of several miles, the island is covered with wild grass, there is a forest covering an area of dozens of acres in the northeast corner, in the north of the island is a cone-shaped peak of dozens of zhang, it can be seen that this is an extinct volcano that has been silent for 10,000 years, at the foot of the mountain, a lake formed by the collection of spring water and rainwater, almost the entire island of the flat land occupies, this is also the most attractive place of this island, fresh water resources are abundant, On the west side of the island are more than a dozen houses, which are the houses of the island's fishermen.

Around the island, surrounded by more than 1,000 sheltered warships, almost the entire island is surrounded, and in the middle of last night, the entire fleet completed the inventory and confirmation, and found that three logistics ships were missing, and they should have been separated from the main fleet.

The ships of the fleet sent people to fetch water and replenishment, and at the same time counted the personnel, treated the wounded and severely seasick soldiers, and sent a report on the safety of the fleet to the mother ship.

At this time, in the large conference room of the mother ship, Huangfu Wujin, the governor of the Chuzhou Navy Army, was holding a military meeting attended by all officers above the rank of Guoyi Commander.

"According to the emperor's will and the deployment of the imperial court, this attack on the Phoenix Society is to completely quell the bandits on the southeast coast, there are two meanings, one is to exterminate the Phoenix Society, and the other is not to allow the Phoenix Society to make a comeback, it will be easy to exterminate the Phoenix Society, but it is difficult to prevent the Phoenix Society from resurrecting, after all, the Phoenix Society is not the biggest evil, so I will listen to your opinions first, please speak freely, they are all their own brothers, what to say here, I will give you all around."

After Wu Jin finished speaking, he glanced at everyone again, and said with a slight smile: "Who?" Which general wants to start first? ”

Zhou Yanbao, the lieutenant of the Jiangning Navy Mansion, got up and said, "Then let me say a few words first!" ”

He hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Everyone is a Chuzhou water army, like this situation where everyone sits together for a party, I remember as if there has never been, maybe I have little qualifications, I don't know what happened five years ago, but at least I haven't had a ..... in the past five years."

An elderly Guo Yi Duwei said with a smile: "Zhou Duwei is right, it is the first time in ten years, everyone should have a meal, Dudu, don't you say?" ”

Wu Jin smiled, "It's easy to talk about the dinner, when this drill is over, I will invite everyone to drink, let's get drunk and rest, but I have to work to earn money for wine before drinking." ”

Everyone laughed together, and Zhou Yanbao continued: "To be honest, I don't have a bad impression of the Phoenix Society, if there is no Phoenix Society, the Japanese will not know how many times they have gone ashore to burn and loot, and we don't know how many of us will be dismissed from their posts for failing to prevent the Japanese people, the problem of the Phoenix Society, the key is that it does not accept the jurisdiction of the imperial court, it is a foreign people, if it is really the Ryukyu natives, it is just that, but they are all from the Daning Dynasty, every year there are fishermen who move to Ryukyu Island to join the Phoenix Society, which makes the imperial court disgraced, Therefore, I think that instead of exterminating the Phoenix Society, it is better to let him surrender to the imperial court, become a subject of Daning, and lead the shore of the land, and be a prince, so that it will be done once and for all, saving us from killing our own Han compatriots, and saving our brothers from dying in the East China Sea. ”

After speaking, Zhou Yanbao bowed to Wu Jin and the others, and sat down.

At this time, Zong Jihe, the commander of the East China Sea Military Mansion, who was sitting on the other side, also stood up, he was actually not good at words, but he had something to say today.

"I want to add to General Zhou's opinion just now, in fact, it is not only the issue of the Phoenix Society not accepting the jurisdiction of the imperial court, but more importantly, the Daning Water Division was defeated in the hands of the Phoenix Society thirty years ago, and the county king Huangfu Zhi was imprisoned and died, this is the reason why the emperor is angry with the Phoenix Society, but as far as I know, after that battle, the Phoenix Society also secretly sent people to Beijing to ask for guilt, and reached an agreement with the imperial court not to attack each other and be safe, and it has only been thirty years that the Phoenix Society has never attacked the Daning Dynasty, I also heard, The Chen family of the Phoenix Society is already preparing to replace the King of the Ryukyus and become the new King of the Ryukyus, if that is the case, they will definitely send people to Beijing to submit to the emperor in order to seek recognition from the Daning Dynasty, I mean, can you contact the Phoenix Society first, see if they have any thoughts of submitting to the Imperial Court, if so, let them surrender to the Imperial Court immediately, if not, we will not be too late to send troops. ”

Zhou Yanbao and Zong Jihei's opinions are the same, mainly to persuade surrender, supplemented by attack, the opinions of the two of them caused a discussion in the venue, and the majority of those who were unwilling to fight were in favor, but there were also proposals to fight first, and the Phoenix Society was scared, and then forced them to surrender.

Everyone was talking, and Wu Jin smiled and waved his hand, "Everyone, please be quiet!"

Everyone quieted down together, and Wu Jin smiled at everyone: "Actually, my thoughts are the same as those of the two generals of Zhou and Zong, go to the army to fight and plot, and surrender the soldiers without a fight, and I don't hide it from everyone, I have sent my henchmen to Phoenix Island to contact the Chen family half a month ago, I have two plans for this exercise, one is to talk to the Chen family, if you can't talk, after the spring next year, I will lead the army to attack the Phoenix Society again, and completely exterminate it, this is called saluting before the soldiers, after all, in the past 30 years, they have not done anything excessive, Let's just return the favor to them and give them a chance, and secondly, I want to use the opportunity of this drill to destroy the Baisha Society, and use the demise of the Baisha Society to warn the Phoenix Society, this is my plan, do you have any opinions? ”

When everyone heard that they were going to destroy the Baisha Society first, they immediately became excited and rubbed their hands, but Zhou Yanbao pondered for a moment and asked, "Dudu, I don't know who is going to talk to Phoenix?" ”

Wu Jin pointed to himself, "I will talk to them in person, everyone was shocked, and they persuaded one after another: "Governor, you are the heir of the royal family, how can you take the risk in person, it is too dangerous, the governor can't go in person." ”

In any case, everyone did not agree to the negotiation of Huangfu Wujin on the island, how could there be a reason for the heir of the royal family to enter the lair of the Phoenix Society, which was expected by Wujin, if it was too abnormal, it would make the soldiers suspicious, Wujin said loudly to everyone: "Please be quiet!" ”

Everyone quieted down again, and Wu Jin smiled at this time: "This time not only I will go, but the governor of the Dadu Mansion will also go with me, we will officially negotiate with the Chen family on behalf of the Chuzhou military, please rest assured, I will not take risks, then we will be on the sea outside Ryukyu Island, on my big ship, I will talk with the head of the Chen family." ”

This plan is quite reasonable, everyone discussed for a while, and then agreed, Wu Jin stood up and ordered: "Today everyone has a day off, and early tomorrow morning, the fleet will march towards the Phoenix Society!" ”

．．．．．．． After the meeting, the generals have returned to their own boats, Wu Jin is under the escort of more than a dozen personal soldiers, came to the island for a walk, on the island he found that in fact, the island is paved with a thick layer of soil, which is tens of millions of years of rock weathering formed soil, and there is guano fertilizer, so that the land becomes very fertile, above his head, a flock of seagulls are circling and chirping, the whole island is also a world of birds, at least hundreds of thousands of seabirds inhabit.

Wu Jin came to the lake, where the water was very clear, showing a jewel-like blue, and on all sides of the lake, nearly a thousand soldiers and boatmen were fetching water with various utensils, and laughter and noise were boiling on the island.

At this time, several soldiers brought an old man, who was a fisherman on the island, although his skin was very dark, but between his eyebrows and eyes he was obviously Han, he stepped forward and knelt down and kowtowed, "Xiaomin Lin Jiuchong, salute the general!" ”

"Where are you from? Why should you come here? Wu Jin asked curiously.

"Xiaomin is a native of Linhai County, Yongjia County, a fisherman for generations, just because the government taxes are too heavy, so he had to flee his hometown with his family and come here to live, my family of six has been on the island for ten years."

Wu Jin nodded, and asked again, "How many families are there on this island?" Are they all Han Chinese? How do you make a living? ”

"General Hui, there are twenty-four families on the island, nearly one hundred and twenty people, half of them are Han Chinese, and the other half are natives of Ryukyu Island, we all make a living from fishing and pearl diving, and there will always be merchant ships passing here every month to replenish fresh water, and we will exchange fish and sea pearls with them for daily necessities, and they will also leave some food for us to show their gratitude for taking water, but most of the time we will go to the Ryukyu country, where there are merchants who specialize in buying sea goods."

"What about pirates? I mean the Wokos, this area? ”

The old man shook his head and said resolutely, "No, this is the territory of the Phoenix Society, there are no pirates, let alone pirates, and there are often sentry ships of the Phoenix Society to patrol." ”

Wu Jin took a look at the surrounding environment, and said with a smile: "I see that the land here is quite fertile, and there are at least fifty or sixty acres of vacant land, why don't you grow some grain or something?" ”

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "I planted it before, but in the end it was all fed to the birds, and we couldn't even collect the seeds, so we had to forget it." ”

Wu Jin couldn't help but laugh dumbly, yes, this is a paradise for birds, growing food is really feeding birds, a soldier next to him smiled: "Actually, you can plant a little radish, sweet potatoes and the like, the fruit is in the soil, and the birds can't eat it, can't it?" ”

"Turnips have!"

The old man pointed to the woods in the distance and smiled: "Next to the woods, the soil is the best, I have opened up three acres of land to grow radishes, and I will send some radishes to the general later." ”

"Thank you very much!"

Wujin asked him something about the Ryukyu Kingdom, and then he learned that the Phoenix Society had completely controlled the Ryukyu Kingdom, the king was just a puppet, and all the affairs of the country were decided by the prime minister, and the prime minister of the Ryukyu Kingdom was Chen Anbang.

"Governor!"

The shouts of soldiers were heard in the distance, and a soldier ran panting to report, "The ship of the Phoenix Society is coming, the boat has been stopped by the brothers, and the people have already boarded the big boat." ”

Wu Jin hurriedly asked, "Who is from the Phoenix Society?" ”

"General Huiyu, it's a young woman, she said she knows you."

"Women?" Wu Jin was stunned, and he asked urgently: "Is it a dark-skinned woman?" ”

"It's not. is a very beautiful, very white-skinned woman, said to be surnamed Yu. ”

Wu Jin was overjoyed in his heart, and he strode towards the ship, if it weren't for the image of the commander, he would have already run away.
