PS: The first update has arrived! Thank you for the reward of the glorious charter of the book friend! Ask for collections, ask for recommendation votes!

"Mr. Long, tell us about your detailed plan!" Luo Sangu said. After Zhao Yi and others agreed, she was also relieved. Originally, she was thinking about how to convince them! After Zhao Yi and the others agreed, the pirates who were almost equal to Flying Fish Island had already agreed with this plan!

"It's good, it's a big boss!" Long Yufei suppressed the excitement in his heart and began to introduce it to everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a detailed map of the South Seas region obtained from the warships of the British, and this is the island of Flying Fish, four hundred miles to the south, which is called Mindanao. Mindanao is huge, almost the size of Zhejiang Province! The people of the island are mainly natives, as well as Muslim ethnic groups, among which the Muslim-founded Sultanate of Maguindanao and the Sultanate of Buayan are the most powerful! The rest of the natives exist in the form of tribes. These tribes, the big ones have tens of thousands of people, and the small ones are only a few dozen people! Mindanao is fertile and rich in minerals, with iron, gold and coal mines, which are more than enough to support our development! Therefore, I think, we can use Mindanao as a base for development! Long Yufei said.

"There are two countries? Will we be able to confront the state? Zhao Yi frowned. After all, they are just pirates, and it seems a bit exaggerated to fight against a country.

"Uncle Zhao, the Maguindanao Sultanate and the Buayan Sultanate are not strong, they are only about 100,000 people! They are located in the west and south of the island, and where we are going, is the north of the island, separated by dense primeval forests, they cannot threaten us for the time being! Long Yufei said.

"More than 100,000 people, that's a lot! There are only a thousand people in the entire Flying Fish Island, and the people who can fight are only three hundred at most, and the difference in strength is too big! Li Decheng also shook his head, he still felt that Long Yufei's plan was too risky!

"Uncle Li, in a short period of time, we will not have conflicts with these two countries, and most of the people we have to deal with are local natives! In addition, there are many Chinese in Mindanao! There are at least 20,000 or 30,000 Chinese living there. If we can absorb these Chinese, then we will be able to gain a foothold in Mindanao! By the way, whether it is the Maguindanao Sultanate and the Buayan Sultanate or those natives, they all use primitive weapons such as bows and arrows, long hair, etc., while our people will be equipped with advanced firearms, and it will be very easy to defend those natives! Long Yufei continued.

"I believe it! As long as we have enough materials and machinery, the rifle designed by Mr. Long will be able to be produced, and our combat power will be much higher at that time! Even if you can't occupy the whole of Mindanao, at least you can protect yourself! Zhao Yi said with a smile. The design drawings of the new rifle given by Long Yufei shocked the three of them. For some time, the father and son had been working on this new rifle, and after a few days of fumbling around, they had completely figured it out. It's just that it can't be manufactured because of the lack of machinery and materials! Once this rifle is produced, Zhao Yi believes that the strength of the entire Flying Fish Island will be greatly improved. It is not impossible to realize the idea proposed by Long Yufei!

"If we can really capture Mindanao, that's good. Maybe we'll be able to build our own country. When the time comes, the big boss will be the emperor, the military adviser will be the prime minister, and we will all be generals! Niu Meng was happy. If you can go from a pirate to a general all at once, it will be a gorgeous change.

Luo Sangu, Long Yufei, Zhao Yi and Li Decheng laughed. Luo Sangu didn't expect to be the emperor, if Long Yufei's plan could really succeed, she hoped to be able to live an ordinary life and no longer have to fight and kill. Like a normal woman, it's good to have a husband and children. However, when she thought of her husband and godson, she couldn't help but look at Long Yufei.

"If we stop pirates, then the existing system should also be changed!" Zhao Yi said.

Luo Sangu nodded, and then said, "Does Mr. Long have any suggestions?" ”

"Why don't we be like the country of Lan Fang in Borneo! The big boss is in charge, and the rest of us are in charge of other things! Long Yufei said.

After discussion, Luo Sangu served as the general commander, and Long Yufei set off as the deputy commander to assist Luo Sangu in handling the affairs of the group as a whole. Zhao Yi is in charge of military industry and logistics, Li Decheng is in charge of the group's schedule, and Niu Meng is in charge of military affairs. Of course, although Niu Meng is brave in battle, he has no experience in the training and command of the new army, he is only a nominal commander, and in fact Long Yufei is still in charge. Although Long Yufei is from many military backgrounds, the knowledge he has mastered in later generations will not have much problem building a strong army in this era!

"Well, from now on, we can prepare! It's August now, and we need to get to Mindanao as soon as possible! All the necessary materials need to be prepared as soon as possible! Long Yufei said.

"Deputy Commander, we have thousands of people migrating, and we need to prepare a lot of things, food, seeds, and equipment. In particular, the equipment for smelting steel and other non-ferrous metals, as well as steam engines, machine tools, etc., need to be purchased first! Zhao Yi reminded!

"Okay, Uncle Zhao, we can buy it from the Spaniards! Didn't we bring back a Spanish bearded captain this time? You can just use it! Long Yufei said with a smile. The reason why he left the bearded captain alive in the first place was that in addition to letting him lure the British Navy into being fooled, he also needed an agent. If Long Yufei wants to build his own strength, he needs to build an industrial base, and the equipment he needs, if he comes forward, he can't buy it at all. But if it's a Spaniard, it's much easier!

"Mr. Long, I'll leave this matter to you! We started to prepare, and once we were ready, we set off and left Flying Fish Island for Mindanao! Luo Sangu said.

Next, Long Yufei, led by Li Hu, came to a secluded beach on Flying Fish Island. There were a few simple huts where the bearded captain and his surviving sailors were arranged. It's just that everyone's faces are a little ugly, and they don't know what those murderous pirates will do with them!

"Damn the yellow-skinned monkey, they actually deceived you! They don't believe in God at all! Swear to God, there is no binding force at all! The bearded captain cursed in his heart! After being taken to Flying Fish Island, he was a little worried that Long Yufei would cross the river and tear down the bridge, and now it seems that this possibility is very high.

"God forbid, you must find a chance to escape from this hellish place!" The bearded captain secretly thought to himself, but the pirates were very closely watched, and their feet and hands were tied, if they wanted to escape, it would be more difficult than climbing to the sky!

Suddenly, the dilapidated wooden door was pushed open, and the figures of Long Yufei and Li Hu appeared outside the door!

"You shameless fellow, you promised to let me live, and now you are going to regret it again? If God doesn't forgive you, you will go to hell! After seeing Long Yufei, the bearded captain immediately cursed!

"Your Excellency, please be angry, haven't I come to fulfill my promise? If you curse me again, I'm going to change my mind! Long Yufei said with a smile.

"Oh! My God! Forgive me for my rudeness, sir, I was dizzy just now, I never questioned sir! I know that you are an honest person, sir, and you will never fail to keep your promises! The bearded captain immediately jumped out, for fear that Long Yufei would regret it!

"Okay. Huzi, untie the rope from his feet and let him go with us! Long Yufei said.

Li Hu cut the rope tied to the bearded captain with a knife and looked at him with a wary expression. If anything happened to the bearded captain, he would have cut him in half with a single sword!

The bearded captain also seemed to know the current situation, so he looked very humble in front of Long Yufei.

The group left the cell and went to the beach.

"Is there anything I need to do, sir?" The bearded captain asked. He is a businessman, and naturally knows that Long Yufei will not kill him because he still has the value of use. And if he wants to live, there is no other way than to show his worth.

"That's right, Your Excellency, I need to buy a batch of supplies, and I need your help!" Long Yufei said.

"Sir, just call me Antonio, I'll be more than happy to serve him!" The bearded captain said.

"Hmm!" Long Yufei nodded and gave a list to Captain Antonio.

The list was written in English, and Captain Antonio took it and read it carefully, but then, his mouth opened wide as if he could swallow his fist!

"Sir, there is no problem with food, medicine, etc. However, you also need steam engines, blast furnaces for steelmaking, machine tools, and more! Are you going to develop industry? Captain Antonio asked, surprised. Where do pirates need these things, at most they buy food and weapons.

"Your Excellency, you can think of me as a special pirate! I need to know, can these things be bought? Long Yufei asked with a smile.

Captain Antonio hesitated for a moment, then said: "In Manila there are steam engines and small steelmaking blast furnaces, as well as some machine tools, although they can be bought, but they must be expensive!" ”

"It's okay! As long as the price is reasonable, buy it! Rest assured, this money won't make you out of pocket! Long Yufei said.

Captain Antonio breathed a sigh of relief this time!
