By the time Yang Bo returned to the Jimo camp, the reserve camp had already finished cultivating the newly assigned fields, but because the time was too short, the fertility of these abandoned lands was not enough, and I am afraid that this year I will have to barely feed myself.

Yang Bo gave Liu Lao Donkey three samples of the table clock and ordered him to mark every part he dismantled, while Yang Bo himself was responsible for designing the mold and preparing it for mass production.

The high-end table clock on Tang Ruowang's side has not yet started, Yang Bo designed a few outline drawings for him, and Tang Ruowang himself is proficient in machinery, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

Yang Bo planned to give Wen Tiren a big gift, it happened that there was nothing too urgent recently, and he also planned to go to Beijing to meet Wen Tiren, who was included in the biography of the Ming Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Yang Bo was still in the plan here, and the news from Jingshi's side came back again, and Wen Tiren really gave Zhou Yanru the final blow!

In mid-May, Chen Zanhua impeached Zhou Yanru for swaggering for profit, and said that Zhou Yanru compared Emperor Chongzhen to "Emperor Xi", and his words were perverse and disrespectful.

At this point, there is no obstacle on the road to the first assistant of Wen Tiren......

Chen Bilian couldn't stay idle in Maojiatun, so she discussed with Yun Niang to go to Jimo Camp to visit, Yun Niang has been so busy lately, as the behind-the-scenes boss of the factory, she just calculates the cost every day, and all kinds of expenses are enough for her to be busy, where is the time? Besides, she knows her identity, Yang Bo is not here, she sits in Shijiu as the main mother, where does she have time to play crazy with Chen Bilian?

Seeing that Yun Niang was busy, Chen Bilian ran to Jimo in a rage, forcing Yang Bo to find a way to make money for her.

Yang Bo thought about it for two days with a sad face, and asked Chen Bilian to recall the fleet moored in Pingshan and Dashan Islands, in addition to the five ships that ran the sea trade, there were more than a dozen remaining ships under the leadership of Chen Bilian's brother Gao Yuanxiang The construction base on the island is in full swing, these two islands control the sea lane from Dengzhou to Andongwei, and the location is very important.

It was a plan that Yang Bo had long made to build the two islands into semi-military bases, and for this reason he also sent many people to assist Gao Yuanxiang in reorganizing his troops, and the junior officers sent by Maojiatun led the sailors to train with the artillery instructor Fernandez.

On May 27, Jiaozhou Bay suddenly sailed into a dozen heavily armed fleets, which frightened the nearby Laoshan military households half to death, they thought that they were pirates or Japanese slaves who had entered the country in a big way, and when they saw that the fleet was hung with the banner of Dengzhou Haiphong Road, these people dared to lean out from their hiding places and talk about it, and the thousand households in front of Fushan were frightened and sent two families to contact, and when they heard that they were sent by Lord Yang of Jimo Camp, the thousand households in the former place were relieved.

Jiaozhou Bay in the east of Jimoying is a semi-enclosed bay deep inland, and it is also a natural deep-water channel, which generally does not freeze in winter, and the later Qingdao Port is located in the north of Jiaozhou Bay, which is a good port for the fleet to moor.

The thousand households surnamed Huang in front of Fushan, he received Yang Bo and his party in the guard house the next day, since the Ao Shan Wei commanded the fall of Lu Zhiliang, and the local gentry wrote a letter to impeach the stone and sink into the sea, the thousand households under the jurisdiction of Ao Shan Wei did not dare to disobey the words of Zhou Guangbi and Yang Bo of the Jimo Battalion, and last time they relied on the Jimo Battalion to exterminate a group of horse bandits entrenched in Laoshan.

Hearing that Jiaozhou Bay was going to dock the fleet, Huang Qianhu didn't have the mouth to agree, Yang Bo saw that he was happy, and in exchange he bought a batch of rice and grain at the grain store opened by his brother-in-law, which made Huang Qianhu happy.

Chen Bilian's brother-in-law Gao Yuanxiang is about 20 years old, because he begs for a living on the water all the year round, he has dark skin, and he looks relatively honest, and only occasionally shows a hideous look to remind others that this is a murderous bandit who does not blink.

Chen Bilian and his relationship is very good, when he saw him, he stepped forward to hold his hand and spoke affectionately, this Gao Yuanxiang looked at Chen Bilian, his eyes were not fierce, but he looked soft.

"Your Excellency?"

Gao Yuanxiang is the first time to see his cheap brother-in-law, he is very curious about Yang Bo, he doesn't know what magic this person has, so that his righteous sister doesn't even have a reputation to follow him, and even Chen Bilian came back and announced directly that she wanted to marry him!

This news stunned the bandits, and she was also strongly opposed at the beginning, the only one who supported her was her father, and when she saw the final word, everyone did not make trouble, and then she was dismissed, and she invited Xiyi artillery instructors, Gao Yuanxiang was almost unable to keep up with the footsteps of this righteous sister.

"It turned out to be the eldest brother, sit!" Yang Bo also smiled and nodded

"There's nothing unusual about this birdman, is it?" Gao Yuanxiang muttered to himself in his heart, if Yang Bo's face was a little paler, he would still understand, but this guy in front of him looked left and right, and he didn't know how he hooked Chen Bilian's heart.

"Uncle brother has come from afar to work hard, let's talk to Bilian about family affairs first, and I will pick you up at night" Yang Bo sat for a while, found an excuse and slipped away, he didn't want to directly point fingers at Chen Bilian's family, so he simply went to inspect Fernandez's training results first.

Fernandez, Li Daniu, Wang Tiehammer, Han Qiaoshan and others have long been waiting in the side hall.

In order to firmly control this fleet, Yang Bo sent out all the military households of the original Maojiatun, and these people were all old men who Yang Bo had followed since the beginning of the hundred households. Among them, Han Qiaoshan broke a hand when he ambushed the caravan of Lu Wangfu, and Yang Bo originally wanted to arrange a position for him as a tun chief, but Han Qiaoshan was used to licking blood from the knife edge, and he didn't want to deal with a group of old ladies, so Yang Bo simply sent him here to lead the troops.

Seeing Yang Bo coming over with a smile, everyone who had not seen the adult for a long time quickly stood up, and Fernandez was still sitting there with a big stab, and was slapped hard by Li Daniu and pulled up.

"Your Excellency!"

"Your Excellency..."

Yang Bo waved his hand: "Sit down, even the sea is bumpy, you have worked hard"

"It's not hard"

"It's not hard to do things for adults!"

Several people rushed to answer, Fernandez was a little incomprehensible, it was natural to take money and sell his life, was it necessary to see Yang Bo so excited?

"How's it going, has the island been peaceful lately? Not used to life at sea? Yang Bo sat down and asked

"All good! We were originally begging for a living by the sea, and there was nothing unaccustomed to on board. Han Qiaoshan replied that he had the highest position in the team, and he was very authoritative and able to convince the public.

"Since the dismissal of a group of long-standing bandits, those people are still a little unwilling, gathered to plunder the passing caravans near Eagle's Beak Island and Dazhu Island, and I dispatched eight small boats a month ago to disperse them," Wang Tiehammer continued.

"Good!" Yang Bo was overjoyed.

"My lord, I haven't received my salary this month?" A voice interjected abruptly, and everyone turned back with some annoyance, and sure enough, it was Fernandez.

Yang Bo nodded: "Your salary is recorded in the expenditure of the stone mortar, plus the military merit reward for solving the smoothbore artillery battalion ruler, I remember that there are more than 100 taels, and I will wait for you to go back next time to receive it, but if you are short of silver now, then I will pay it here first." ”

Fernández was overjoyed, he didn't know that there was also a military merit reward: "Well, now I have a lot of money, if there is any place to spend it, I should wait until I go back to receive it." ”

Yang Bo thought about it for a while, and asked Xiao Wu to give the silver to Fernandez: "Forget it, I'm afraid that you won't be able to come back alive when you go to Shijiu, so it's better to pay first." ”

"What, can't come back alive?" Fernández was taken aback.

"There is a person from Lu Ruohan looking for you everywhere, unfortunately, Mr. Lu Ruohan is still the commander of the heavy artillery battalion of Shijiu"

"Oh God, my God, how did you bring that devil here? That's a devil who eats people and doesn't spit out bones! It's a ruthless butcher who kills without blinking! I, I will never stand in the same sun as him! ”

Yang Bo knew that Fernandez had become a deserter in Dengzhou, which made Lu Ruohan and others hold a grudge in their hearts, and now he saw that Fernandez was the villain sue first, and he didn't pay attention to him.

At that moment, Yang Bo discussed with Han Qiaoshan and others, seeing that the sky was getting hotter, he wanted to buy some short clothes, pants, shoes and socks for these soldiers, and the original fat jacket should be repurchased after wearing it for a winter, even if it is two sets per person, more than 100 people will also need a few hundred taels of silver, which is also a large amount of expenses.

Yang Bo felt that his mood suddenly darkened......

He has been so poor lately, there are places to use money everywhere, for the opening of the factory, Yun Niang, who understands the righteousness, has even started to sell some jewelry in private, these fleets can't just be raised, they have to let them fight to feed the war, go out for a while.

"What? Rob? ”

Fernandez screamed in fuss.

"You can not go" Li Daniu had long seen that this Hongyi was not pleasing to the eye.

"Go! Why not? Our fleet is unbeatable, especially the gunners I have trained."

With the adventurous blood of a pirate running through his veins, Fernandez exclaimed happily, "But, my lord, are our salaries going to go up too?" ”

Yang Bo ignored him, pointed to a point on the map and said: "Here, Nagasaki Port of the Japanese Kingdom, your prey is here, and this will be your main place of activity in the future, from Jeju Island down, there are many islands in the place where you can reach Nagasaki Port, I remember that there are Goto Islands, Fukue Island, Madara Island, Ukushima Island and many nearby islands, most of which are uninhabited islands, these islands are less than two days away from Nagasaki Port, you can choose one as a base......"

"My lord, what if I encounter my merchant ship?" Han Qiaoshan asked after a moment of silence

"Take a photo!"

Yang Bo said coldly: "Of course, at present, we are not strong enough, try not to provoke Zheng Yiguan's fleet, the merchant ships of the Japanese Kingdom, except for people, ships and goods, a year later, I want you to have at least forty ships." ”

"What if the Wa Kingdom invites Zheng Yiguan and their fleet to suppress us?" Han Qiaoshan was careful and asked.

"Our kind of piecemeal fight may not be in the eyes of Zheng Yiguan, and besides, he has just turned his face with Dutch Hongyi now, and he is very busy, but he can't be unguarded, don't ......"

Yang Bo paced a few steps and said: "In case you encounter it, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, we can afford it, you can build a few more footholds, choose a light boat, in the vast sea, it is not easy to make your dumplings."

"Thirty percent of each seizure belongs to you, and you go to negotiate a charter and come out for me to see, but one thing to remember is that the people in your fleet are different from other military households in the tunli, and this matter must be kept absolutely secret! If you can't control your mouth, don't leave any of them on the boat! ”

After Yang Bo finished speaking, he looked at the military discipline officer Wang Tiehammer sternly.

Wang Tiezhu nodded, and with some embarrassment, he motioned to Yang Bo to look at Fernandez, who was dancing happily.

Yang Bo also shook his head helplessly......

After discussing the details, everyone's faces were relaxed, and Han Qiaoshan suddenly remembered something and said: "My lord, there is something I forgot to say, when I came back, I received a report from the sentinel boat, saying that in the area of the Yalu River estuary, the official army and Kong Youde's sailors are still fighting?" Didn't you say that Kong Youde had already thrown himself into the Tartar? ”

"What?"

Yang Bo was shocked when he heard this, and the cup in his hand fell to the ground with a bang......
