Lelang was originally almost a white land, especially after Fang Zhiwen moved into Lelang, he swallowed the kingdom of Sanhan, and the entire peninsula was incorporated into Lelang County, and all the population was concentrated in the two cities of Lelang and Lenan.

However, with the development of Lelang and Lenan, with the large number of immigrants brought about by the war in the Central Plains, and the large number of players who have come with the development of Lenan and Lelang, Lelang County has begun to embark on the fast track of development.

With the establishment of the two cities of Obifang and Yuanshan, Lelang has entered the stage of comprehensive development, but the main development direction is around the west coast, because the main trade objects are in the west, as for the east coast, it is still the world of pirates and wild monsters.

When the Seven Seas proposed the idea of marching to Yingzhou Island, Fang Zhiwen handed over the task of this strategic exploration to Hua Xin and Zhou Tai, and after careful planning with Wang Ben and others in the Seven Seas, they decided to try to build a military port fortress on the east coast of Lelang with the cooperation of Chen Keng.

Wang Ben's suggestion was Busan, and although Zhou Tai and Hua Xin were not very clear about the main points of Wang Ben's suggestion, they still accepted it after careful consideration.

Why didn't Zhou Tai and Hua Xin know that Busan was the closest place to set off for Yingzhou? The reason is that the sea chart in the southeast of Busan Mountain is still blank, where there is only a large island opposite the dividing line between Youju and Yeongju, which is the old nest of pirates, not player pirates, but system pirates, and player pirates are more concentrated on Jeju Island.

Therefore, in the eyes of Zhou Tai and Hua Xin. The location of Busan is not very good, especially the radiation effect on the sea to the east is not very good. But Wang Ben knew in his heart that this was the closest location to Yingzhou Island, and their goal this time was to find a way to bypass Tsushima Island and reach Kyushu Island in Yingzhou.

Zhou Tai went south along the coastline all the way, and there were even more islands here, needless to say, pirates were like entering a pirate paradise. There are more than a dozen waves a day, but those who dare to bare their teeth at Zhou Tai's fleet have all been swept away without exception, and when they arrived in Busan, Zhou Tai's fleet was in addition to 300 naval forces, 10 ships across the seven seas, and 600 transport ships. There were also nearly a thousand large and small pirate ships, and nearly six thousand prisoners.

"President Wang, is this the place?"

"Yes, one hundred and fifty miles to the south is Tsushima Island, the closest island to Yingzhou that we have detected so far."

"Does Yingzhou really exist?"

Hua Xin asked meaningfully, and at the same time his eyes were fixed on Wang Ben's face. Wang Ben smiled: "Of course, Yingzhou definitely exists, and it is not some immortal mountain as in the legend, it is more likely to be a place full of pirates and wild monsters, or a place full of alien enemies." ”

"Understood. Is our goal to conquer Yingzhou? ”

"Well, that's just the first step. The world is big, and only by constantly looking outward can our horizons be broadened, which is the charm of the sea. ”

Hua Xin smiled: "That's true, then we're going to take Tsushima Island?" ”

"I don't know." Wang Ben shook his head honestly, in fact, Wang Ben didn't know how strong he was against aluminum, if the pirates here existed as a de facto border barrier, this kind of pirates could be said to be invincible, not to mention capturing their lair.

Hua Xin and Zhou Tai exchanged a look, both of them looked a little heavy, before Fang Zhiwen also carefully explained the importance of this exploration of Yingzhou and the places that need to be paid attention to, Fang Zhiwen also warned them that the pirates here are not ordinary pirates, but a kind of pirates who are stronger and stronger, don't think about defeating them overnight, more to fully understand them first, and prepare for defeating them in the future.

It is precisely for this reason that Lelang Taishou Chen Keng will so generously provide 600 ships of materials to build the port of Busan, in order to establish a city in Busan that expands to the east coast, build a military port that can repair and even build warships, and build a solid material foundation for the long-term confrontation with the Tsushima pirates

"Anyway, let's build a port first, I'll lead the commando team to clear the surrounding wild monsters, first clear the land, and the military advisor and President Wang cooperate to clean up all the wild monsters and pirates on the surrounding islands, and then we will start building the city1

"Good 1

..

The construction of the port of Busan was carried out very quickly, which was also the consistent practice of Fang Zhiwen, who was willing to invest in the construction of the city, and used the army to capture thieves and pirates in the surrounding area to enrich the construction team.

By the beginning of September, when the weather was getting colder, the port of Busan had just been upgraded to the size of a second-class town, and nearly half of the population was captured from the local thieves' dens and pirate dens, which shows how rampant thieves and pirates are here.

With the addition of more than 20,000 naval officers and sailors, and more than 20,000 shipwrights, shipwrights and their families, the city of Busan Port was initially established.

However, Zhou Tae and Hua Xin were not in a hurry to march south, but advanced to the west, clearing the channel to Ousan, and while continuing to replenish the population of the port of Busan, the channel was cleared so that a large fleet could go south, knowing that the supply of the port of Busan would depend entirely on this channel.

During this season, Chiang Chin's fleet was relatively idle, so he could support the Yuanshan and Pusan routes, and work with Zhou Tai against the invasion of pirates from Jeju Island and the islands along the coast.

By mid-September, there were basically no large groups of pirates on the waterway, and the average large fleet was rarely attacked by pirates, and of course, the runners would always deal with pirates, for sure.

The city defense and port facilities of Busan City have been basically established, Zhou Xing's cavalry has also opened up the road passage from Yuanshan to Busan, and an easy road is also being built.

Of course, the establishment of Busan Port also unexpectedly attracted a large number of player adventure groups and mercenary groups, because there are too many wild monsters in the wild here, and for these players, this is also an adventure paradise.

The arrival of these players has undoubtedly added a lot of vitality to the port of Busan, and with the population there is commerce, and with commerce there is support for trade routes, and it can support the arrival of more adventurers.

What's more, Zhou Tai and Hua Xin basically completed the construction of the defense facilities of the port of Busan, the construction of the port and the training of the defense troops, while Wang Ben led the fleet across the seven seas and drew a detailed map of the northern section of the Tsushima Strait, and now everything is ready.

On September 23, the third year of Guangxi, the northwest wind was blowing, and there were moderate waves on the sea.

On this day, Zhou Tai decided to start his first journey south.

Out of prudence, this time Zhou Tai did not send out the whole army, but left half of the fleet around the port to protect the port of Busan, and he himself took 150 warships and ten expedition clippers across the seven seas to go south together, and they chose to go southwest, trying to bypass Tsushima Island.

However, after sailing for more than two hours, Wang Ben understood that it was impossible to bypass Tsushima Island, because a large shadow of sails appeared in front of them on the left, that is, in the southeast direction.

As a scout, Wang Ben quickly stepped forward to observe the pirate's fleet from the side, and found that there was more than one pirate fleet, it seemed that there were two fleets in the east and south, and the scale was not correct

The news soon reached Zhou Tai's command flagship, and Zhou Tai quickly marked the location of the enemy troops on the map, and then couldn't help but smack his tongue.

"Ziyu, this is too much, with such a powerful pirate, does our navy still dare to leave the port?"

"Hehe, this is a wild monster, unless we provoke them, they won't take the initiative to attack us, but speaking of which, wouldn't it be more advantageous to let them take the initiative to attack us?"

Hua Xin pinched his chin and thought about his idea, now look at the scale of the pirates, the three fleets add up to nearly nine hundred warships, and they are all the same three-thousand-stone level ships as himself, it can be seen from Wang Ben's report that their speed is not worse than his own at all, if the commander of the pirates is a high-level general, then he can't fight.

As Zhou Tai said, such a powerful fleet is really terrifying, it seems that the lord's guess and Wang Ben's opinion is right, if you want to break through this powerful wild monster barrier, you need to think long-term, however, if you meet it today, you can't help but fight, and it is not Zhou Tai's style to retreat without a fight, not to mention, how can you know the true strength of these pirates without fighting?

"Ziyu, do you want to fight?"

"Hehe, do you need to talk about this, of course we have to fight, but try to reduce losses, we mainly understand the strength of the opponent."

Zhou Tai grinned and turned around: "Order, the first team turned to the east, made the illusion of interspersing the past from the gap between the two fleets in the southeast of the enemy, turned to the north and broke away from a safe distance, and the meeting point was a hundred miles to the northwest. ”

"No1

"Order the main fleet to turn to the southeast, and we will meet this fleet to the south to see how strong they are1

"No1

The battle order was quickly issued, and the thirty large ships turned around and left quickly to the east, while the remaining one hundred and twenty ships sailed southward, quickly approaching the opposing southern fleet.

Wang Ben also received the relevant battle order, they will be on the periphery as observers to assess the battle, and be responsible for guarding the perimeter to prevent any more enemy fleets from appearing, and Zhou Tai made dumplings.

The wind seemed to be stronger, the flags on the masts were hunting, the sails were blowing, and the neat fleet was like arrows off the string, swooping down on the pirate fleet.

"Thirty on the left side, stone thrower, starboard shot from the giant crossbow, maximum range, ready! Put 1
