Chapter 48: Penghu Preliminary Decision

At this point, the two-month clean-up operation has come to an end. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Linhai Town's fleet has also grown to 144 ships, all of which are silver-class giant ships, 118 ships of 120 meters, and 26 ships of 100 meters. And the other bronze-level and black-iron level warships are innumerable. Li Tang didn't bother to pay attention to it, after all, they couldn't get into Li Tang's eyes.

Although, these bronze-level and black-iron warships can't go out to the far sea, for Li Tang, they are all garbage. However, on the mainland, in the inland rivers, it is definitely the main force of water warfare! In inland rivers and lakes, the wind and waves are not so big, and these garbage in Li Tang's eyes are completely useful.

In addition, there are 9 transport ships of about 200 meters, and countless other large and small cargo ships and fishing boats.

Fortunately, many captured soldiers continued to surrender. Otherwise, there will be no one to drive the boat, let alone combat effectiveness.

Such a huge fleet, mighty, sailed to Linhai Town. Li Tang is not afraid of leaking his whereabouts.

Anyway, after the war so far, there should only be those 4 cities left among the enemies on the sea. And, as you can imagine, they discovered the existence of the fleet of Rinkai Town.

However, it is one thing to know, and it is another thing to dare to send troops to attack.

Speaking of which, the strength of each of these four cities should not be weaker than that of Linhai Town. However, none of them dared to take the initiative. After all, these four cities are also in check with each other. If you want to eat Li Tang's fleet, you must attack with all your might. In this way, their city defenses are empty.

This is also the reason why the four cities knew about the existence of Li Tang's fleet, but no one dared to send troops.

Of course, Li Tang was not afraid of them sending troops. Because, Li Tang's fleet has a speed bonus. There are few incoming enemies and can be destroyed, and there are many incoming enemies, so you can run away without worrying about being overtaken. As for the ships that can't run fast, just abandon them.

The mixed fleet, under the surveillance of the spy ship, returned to Linhai Town unhurriedly. Anyway, the location of Linhai Town will be exposed sooner or later, and it is better to expose it now.

On the way, Li Tang slowly learned that the spy ships of the four cities were monitoring around the fleet, and they did not make any moves.

After all, the troops have also been out for two months, and there are too many new soldiers, and the army's heart is unstable, so we have to go back quickly to digest these soldiers, so as not to have an accident!

This time 220,000 pirates were captured. In this way, the total population of Linhai Town has almost doubled to 490,000.

From these soldiers, a lot of elite soldiers were selected, which greatly strengthened the strength of Linhai Town. Even if the pirates of those cities come to attack, I think they will have the strength to protect themselves!

In the end, Li Tang planned to transfer 30,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 sailors to supplement the Blue Whale Legion. At the same time, some warships were allocated, bringing the number of 120-meter silver warships owned by this legion to 118.

In addition, 40,000 4-star sailors were transferred as auxiliaries, 20,000 were arranged to the garrison corps, and 20,000 were arranged to the Kunpeng corps. The 100-meter transport ships were allocated to the Kunpeng Corps and the Garrison Corps respectively.

When the number of people was counted, it was found that many soldiers had basic internal skills, or had learned king-level internal skills, emperor-level internal skills, emperor-level internal skills, etc. Come to think of it, these people turned out to be military generals, but later because the territory was destroyed, they lost the military general index, and thus became soldiers.

These people can be re-promoted to military generals depending on their ability.

Of course, there are also generals among the captives, who should be carrying tiger talismans, so the number of generals still exists.

This village building order also obtained a lot, one 29 pieces, 2 bronze level, 1 silver level, and the others are all black iron level.

There is no doubt that Li Tang used them all in the Qiankun bracelet. There are 29 more villages.

Among them, the silver-level village building order was also built in the Qiankun bracelet.

However, the three pirates who built the village only swore a great oath to heaven and pledged allegiance to Li Tang, but did not join Linhai Town. Therefore, the village they established was not incorporated into Linhai Town, but became a separate territory.

This village is called Chivalrous Village, taking righteousness and doing chivalrous righteousness, robbing the rich and helping the poor.

Of course, the chivalrous village has special attributes, that is, the blessing of Mazu:

Mazu, the deity worshipped by generations of seafaring boatmen, seafarers, travelers, merchants and fishermen, blessed the sailors of the chivalrous village with better health and less susceptibility to diseases on the sea routes; The sailors of the blessed chivalrous village have more energy to fight with the sea; Bless the sailors of the chivalrous village with a stronger body in order to defeat the enemy.

This property, very good. The only fly in the ointment is that this attribute is at the silver level, and the degree of bonus is not high!

All along, Li Tang wanted to control a team of pirates. This team cannot have anything to do with Linhai Town, and it has no subordinate relationship with Li Tang. However, he can help Li Tang do some things that Li Tang can't do.

Always, this pirate team needs to be chivalrous along the coast, robbing the rich and helping the poor. Of course, this poor refers to Li Tang himself.

Since Li Tang took a stake in shipping, cash and inventory have been depleted. This time, he robbed the pirates and got some gold coins. Otherwise, the really poor can't untie the pot. Therefore, Li Tang thought that he was poor and let the pirates plunder some goods to relieve himself.

Li Tang told himself that in the current piracy industry, the quality of pirates is uneven. There are thieves who only rob and do not kill, and there are also some extremely vicious people who rob goods, ships, and kill, and are very unsophisticated.

Such piracy has dealt a heavy blow to the shipping industry, making shipping costs high, making it difficult to interact with goods, and people need to spend more money to buy necessary supplies, and the quality of life has seriously declined. Therefore, integrating the pirate forces and making pirates become thieves is also a good thing, which is beneficial to the Han Dynasty and the people of other races, and it is a great merit.

Some people want to say, since piracy is a serious obstacle to the development of shipping and artificially increases the cost of shipping, why not simply eliminate pirates? Why keep pirates?

Actually, this is like a fact that where there is, there are flies! As long as there is profit, there will be no shortage of people who chase profit, and who doesn't want to do a businessless business like pirates? Once the pirates are eliminated, there is a gap in the market, and everyone is looking for profit, and new pirates will naturally arise.

So, on the issue of piracy, it will only be played on a loop, and there can never be a rest! Rather than constantly cleaning up pirates, it is better to keep the appropriate size of pirates, maintain the balance of this chain of interests, and let the benefits be reaped for yourself.

In addition, the items looted by the pirates are basically purchased by some large families at extremely low prices. Pirates need supplies and other daily consumables, so they need to buy them from Haoqiang at a high price. In other words, pirates are nominally independent, but in fact they are powerful money-making tools. Li Tang felt that instead of letting Haoqiang make money, it was better to let himself make this money.

In the end, Li Tang transferred a few SS-level senior generals who carried tiger talismans, as well as pirate leaders in various villages, and 1,000 B-level pirates to join the Chivalry Village, and temporarily lent the rattan armor talisman to the barracks of the Chivalry Village, Li Tang planned to transfer to 1,000 rattan armor pirates first.

It also divided 2 100-meter warships, and many large and small warships for pirates.

This time, almost 1.85 million gold coins were seized, as well as many other miscellaneous and rare items, as well as a lot of special equipment forging books, building drawings, etc.

To be honest, since Li Tang became a shareholder of shipping, the cash that can be used in his hands is basically empty, including a lot of money from the shares, or Li Tang sold the looted materials to make up the money, it can be said that if it were not for this robbery, Li Tang would be completely innocent!

According to previous test estimates, the looted materials are generally twice as much as cash. Then, this batch of materials, after excluding some useful equipment and so on, the rest should be able to sell for more than 3.5 million.

It seems that robbery is really a promising career! Li Tang even wants to hang the pirate flag and become a pirate! However, now there is no need for Li Tang to come out in person. Since he has set up an agent to rob, he naturally does not need Li Tang to do the dirty work himself. After all, although robbery is a huge profit, it is very unpleasant and will be spurned by others!

After eliminating the surrounding small pirates, there are not many threats that can threaten Linhai Town, so to speak, only the pirates in those 4 small towns.

However, if they don't join forces, Li Tang is not afraid of just one pirate. After all, Linhai Town is no longer what it used to be. Especially in terms of defense, the gap is in the city walls compared to the castle. However, Linhai Town has prepared a large number of suicide fireboats, which will definitely make the incoming enemies meet in Linhai Town.

What's more, there are still many soldiers who swear allegiance to Li Tang, and they will not betray Linhai Town or Li Tang because they are afraid of death. In addition, the quality of the soldiers in Linhai Town is high, and they all have the characteristics of being good at fighting on the water, so they should be stronger than the soldiers of the same level in water warfare.

It can be said that until today, Li Tang finally doesn't have to worry too much about the survival of Linhai Town, and is afraid every day. This also means that Li Tang has finally found a good base in "Eternity".

As for the rest, it depends on how you play! How to go behind and how to go, Li Tang was also very confused. For the game, Li Tang also knows a lot now, and he is no longer as at a loss as when he first entered the game.

Li Tang even knew that this game would definitely continue the trend of history and guide it in the direction of the Yellow Turban Rebellion. For this reason, Li Tang also specially went offline and made up for the history of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

It's a pity that I know the direction of some history, which is only suitable for the game process on the mainland, and has nothing to do with the poor mountains and bad waters where I am located!
