After learning about the situation in the deep sea, Xia Ren sent a letter back to Zhou Tai, asking him to continue to send people to explore the deep sea, especially the large islands suitable for stationing.

And let Zhou Tai send some transport ships to receive some soldiers, and these soldiers will be incorporated into the Wei Navy and let Zhou Tai lead them together.

At present, the transport ships on Weihai Island are all converted from warships left by the previous coalition forces, and most of the weapons on them have been dismantled, freeing up a lot of space that can be used to load people and goods.

As for the warships, now the Wei Navy uniformly uses the Sea King warship, and now the three Sea King warships with a monthly output are enough for the Wei Navy.

After writing the letter, let someone pass it to Zhou Tai, Xia Ren took Zhao Yun back to the island in the middle of the lake to live, the palace on the island has been built for a long time, Xia Ren basically has not lived, because Fang Xuanling wants to work in the city lord's mansion, so Xia Ren has been staying in the city lord's mansion.

Now that Zhao Yun is here, Xia Ren feels that he doesn't need to disturb Fang Xuanling, and directly takes Zhao Yun back to Huxin Island to live.

With the unification of the Qingling Sea area, the Wei Navy has temporarily lost its combat objectives, and they are constantly training every day, familiarizing themselves with the battle formation, and enhancing their cultivation.

30,000 recruits have also been recruited, and they have all been assigned to various places, Gao Shun led 20,000 soldiers, and also took a boat to the territory of the original Feijiao Island in the Qingling Sea for training.

After all, 20,000 soldiers, the goal is too big, and they have been training in Haiyuan City, so it is easy to attract the attention of others, and even when recruiting soldiers, Xia Ren asked Fang Xuanling to carry out it separately, trying not to let people know the specific number of recruits.

......

In the blink of an eye, three months have passed, and the soldiers under Xia Ren's command have all become qualified soldiers, and their combat power has been greatly improved compared with before, and the only thing that is missing now is actual combat training.

In these three months, Xia Ren ordered a large amount of black ironwood from the Sun family, after all, a large amount of black ironwood was needed to build a Sea King warship.

When he bought the black ironwood this time, Xia Ren knew how expensive the black ironwood was, if it wasn't for the entire Qingling Sea area, Xia Ren might not be able to afford it, which also made Xia Ren very grateful for the black ironwood that the Li family gave him last time, if it wasn't for the Li family to pay the bill for him, he might still be working hard to raise money.

Now Xia Ren's Wei Navy has a total of 15 Sea King warships, but the number of Wei Navy is only 20,000, and only 10 ships are needed to fill it.

As for the remaining five, Xia Ren had them converted into transport ships, and the speed and quality of the Sea King warship were top-notch, and they would be used for cargo transportation between them and the deep sea in the future.

In the past three months, Zhou Tai has also been sending people to explore the deep sea, and now he has also found some large islands suitable for establishing a base.

Xia Ren chose one of the islands with a relatively large plain area, and the distance was just right, only two thousand miles away from Weihai Island, and at the speed of the Sea King's warship, it would only take about seven days to go back and forth.

Now Xia Ren is asking Zhou Tai to continuously transport the captives on Weihai Island to the deep sea and send them over to establish a base for him, there are too many captives on Weihai Island now, and the shipyard has long been saturated, so they can only go to the deep sea to work as builders.

Xia Ren named the base island in the deep sea Origin Island, which means that his road to hegemony will officially begin there, and it will be the starting point for him to dominate the world.

"Your Highness, General Qin Qiong has a letter coming. ”

At this time, Xiao Guizi trotted in and handed a letter box to Xia Ren.

Xia Ren sent a letter to Qin Qiong some time ago, asking him about some southern barbarians and endless mountains, after all, Gao Shun's infantry needs a place for actual combat training, just in the East China Sea, it can't train elite infantry, and the terrain on the sea is very different from the land, and there will be a difference when the time comes.

And Zhao Yun's cavalry definitely needs to be trained on land, although the mounts are not yet ready, but they also have to take precautions, besides, I heard that there are countless demon beasts in the endless mountains, maybe they can get the mounts that Zhao Yun needs.

Taking out Qin Qiong's letter, Xia Ren slowly read it.

The Endless Mountain is to the east of the Southern Barbarian State and the Barbarian Empire, and if you want to enter the battle between the Great Xia Dynasty and the Barbarian Empire, you must pass through the Endless Mountain, because the Endless Mountain just separates the Southern Barbarian State and the Barbarian Empire.

Of course, it is also possible to reach Nanban Prefecture directly through Donghai Prefecture, and then reach the border, but if you go by land, the target is too big, and Xia Ren will definitely be unwilling.

Qin Qiong also wrote in the letter that at present, the Great Xia Dynasty has three legions in the south, namely the Dragon Chasing Legion that is fighting head-on with the Barbarian Empire, that is, Qin Qiong's legion, and the strength of the Dragon Chaser Legion can basically rank in the top three among all the legions of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The second is the Heavenly Tiger Legion, which is mainly responsible for suppressing the demon beasts, because there will always be a beast tide in the endless mountains to attack the cities of Great Xia, of course, if there is no beast tide, the Heavenly Tiger Legion will also assist the Dragon Chasing Legion to resist the Barbarian Empire. The strength of the Heavenly Tiger Legion is relatively strong, and it can be ranked in the middle of the ten major legions of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Finally, there is the weakest Eagle Legion, the Eagle Legion is generally stationed at the junction of the three southern states, that is, the junction of Nanban Prefecture, Southern Wei Prefecture, and Nanxu Prefecture, and is mainly responsible for suppressing some rebels in the three continents, including deterring the Zhenzhou sect in the three states.

Because Nanban Prefecture is in a war zone and often suffers from the baptism of war, there are more displaced people, and many people lose confidence in the Great Xia Dynasty, so they will fall into the grass and often make trouble in the rear, so the Eagle Legion is responsible for suppressing these people.

And some sects will also collude with the Barbarian Empire, secretly make trouble in the rear, provide intelligence and the like, and the Eagle Legion will also carry out a clean-up, among which the strength of the Zhenzhou sect is the strongest, once they collude with the Barbarian Empire, then it will definitely be a huge blow to the three southern states.

According to Qin Qiong's investigation, the Zhenzhou Great Sect Wandaomen in Nanxu Prefecture and the Zhenzhou Great Sect Imperial Beast Sect in Nanban Prefecture don't seem to be very friendly to the Great Xia Dynasty, but they have not made any moves to betray the Great Xia Dynasty for the time being.

As for the Evil Pole Hall in Southern Wei Prefecture, he has always been in a neutral attitude, and no one will provoke him, but whoever provokes him, he will also retaliate back wildly, including the Barbarian Empire and the Great Xia Dynasty.

Qin Qiong's letter also answered a question raised by Xia Ren.

It was Xia Ren who asked Qin Qiong if there were many people of Great Xia who would be taken captive as slaves by the people of the Barbarian Empire, and if those people were rescued, could they be used as soldiers?

Qin Qiong told Xia Ren that it is true that many of the people of Great Xia will be taken away every year, otherwise there would be no rebellion in the south from time to time.

As for the people who were taken captive, Qin Qiong said that their Dragon Chasing Legion would often send small groups of elites to attack the small tribes of the Barbarian Empire, and rescued many people of Great Xia.

And most of the people who can survive in the hands of barbarians are people with good physical fitness, and they are full of hatred for barbarians.

Now many of the elite troops of the Dragon Chasing Legion are composed of young men rescued from the barbarians.

Of course, there are also some people who are frightened by the barbarians, and as soon as they are rescued, they want to flee from the south, and these people will let them leave on their own.

At the end of the letter, Qin Qiong also suggested that if Xia Ren wanted to train his troops, it would be best to transport the soldiers to the Endless Mountains through the East China Sea, and then enter the Barbarian Empire through the Endless Mountains, and he could find some small tribes of the Barbarian Empire to practice.

If it is discovered by a large tribe, it can retreat into the Endless Mountain, and the general barbarians will not pursue it too deeply, because there are many monsters in the Endless Mountain, and the terrain is complex, which can easily cause you to get lost or be besieged by monsters.

Now in the southern battlefield, the Great Xia Dynasty has always been on the defensive, and if Xia Ren rashly goes to the border, it will be easy to be eaten by the barbarian army, so he can only conduct guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines.

After reading Qin Qiong's letter, Xia Ren also probably had an understanding of the south.

Now the Great Xia Dynasty is at a disadvantage in the war with the barbarians, otherwise it will not remain on the defensive, and the three southern states are not very peaceful, and there are many Xiaoxiao will also take the opportunity to make trouble, fortunately, there are legions to suppress it, otherwise there will be a big chaos sooner or later.

Xia Ren was also a little anxious in his heart, from Qin Qiong's words, Xia Ren could also feel that the current Great Xia Dynasty had begun to set in the western mountains, and he didn't know when, it might suddenly collapse.

And Xia Ren must take advantage of the collapse of the edifice of the Great Xia Dynasty to have enough strength to protect himself, and it is best to get this edifice to build him more stable and taller.
