After making a PY deal with Qian Sanjiang, Kaifeng dropped the money bag and returned to Qihuan Town like a gust of wind, well, and at the same time brought back the order for two cargo ships placed by the Sanjiang Transport Chamber of Commerce for the First Shipyard.

On the third day after that, Yang Pingwei came to Shennong Town again with a ticket of people and goods, ready to load the ship and go to the No. 1 landing site.

"Lord Yang! I really want to thank you this time! When I arrived at the City of Atonement, Qian set up a table, and I hope that the Lord will be able to appreciate his face at that time!" Qian Sanjiang followed behind Yang Pingwei with a smile, this time his fleet will follow the fleet of the Department of Foreign Affairs to the No. 1 landing site, and Yang Pingwei also agreed to take him to the City of Atonement, this preferential treatment is not small, if he is allowed to go to the City of Atonement by himself, who will bird him?

"The banquet is free!I don't want to make a mistake!" Yang Pingwei smiled and waved his hand, bringing a few people with him, this is just a gesture for him, not to mention that the other party also brings his own dry food.

"Your fleet can also help me a lot, the shortage of supplies can't be transported, how can there be space to transport that heavy and space-occupying lump of wood. Let's be mutually beneficial!" Yang Pingwei said truthfully, not giving face at all, fortunately the other party left early, otherwise it would be the other party's temper, and the two would have to fight.

Qian Sanjiang was a little embarrassed to hear it, after all, Yang Pingwei was talking about his old leader and current partner, and he was not easy to answer.

However, the dock supervisor came to his rescue, and it turned out that while they were talking nonsense, all the goods were loaded onto the ship.

"Okay, let's go!" Yang Pingwei acted neatly, without dragging his feet, and when he saw that the goods were loaded, he immediately raised his feet and walked to his car.

Of course, Qian Sanjiang was on his own boat, and he did not follow Yang Pingwei.

Ten days later, the flotilla docked at landing site No. 1, but when it reached its destination, the flotilla was reduced again, three ships were missing, and there was no accident, but it was left on the edge of an island in the middle of the river.

During this period of time, with the increase in manpower, 10 10-pound guns and 10 5-pound guns, as well as a number of tiger squat guns and small mortar cannons, were built.

Two of the three ships were carrying cannons, and the other was carrying daily necessities, which was obviously the rhythm of building forts on Jiangxin Island.

Of course, not all the artillery was delivered, a total of four ten-pound guns, four five-pound guns, and more than a dozen tiger squat guns, but it can be regarded as a bloody investment!

This Jiangxin Island, which was named Wenlong Island by Li Kang (taken from Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town in the late Ming Dynasty), is not large, only less than ten acres of land, about the size of a football field, located in the center of the big river, about 200 miles away from Shennong Town downstream, and back to Shennong Town downstream, less than a day and night, it is much farther away from the No. 1 landing point upstream, and there are more than 800 miles of land.

When the three cargo ships were still some distance from Wenlong Island, they dropped anchor and stopped, and then sent canoes down to transport goods and people ashore.

The survey of the waters had already been carried out when it was decided to repair the fort, so this time they didn't have to bother anymore and just stopped the ship in the marked waters, which would be the location of the dock in the future.

As in the previous case at the No. 1 landing site, the first shipment to the island was food and building materials, and the rest of the goods, such as cannons, had to wait until the dock was repaired, and they could only float on the water for a few days.

Of course, goods can drift, people can't, because people prefer to be down-to-earth, except for a few unlucky people to see the ship, others have all gone to the island one after another.

"You say, what are you doing with you? I can't help at all, I have to go back to the ship to sleep at night, don't you be too troublesome?" Liu Hai, who was transferred from Qu Chang to the reserve officer of Wenlong Island, was wearing a neat military uniform and carrying a saber, and was severely reprimanding his group of artillerymen who were making trouble following the island.

"Hey, hey... The cannon will have to be installed sooner or later! Let's step on the spot in advance and observe the terrain!" said Gun Commander Liu Tuo with a hippie smile.

"Observe the terrain with a fart!" Where the palm is big, it's clear at a glance!" Liu Hai pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "Okay, okay, since you've already followed, don't be idle, help carry something!"

"My lord," the artillerymen looked at their bangs sadly.

"Get out of here!"

"Let's go, let's go!hahaha..."

"These boys!" Liu Hai smiled at the corner of his mouth and shook his head helplessly.

"Hehe... This place is really well located! As long as we hold this place, with a single cannon, the whole river will be within range, and any ship that wants to pass through it will have to look at our faces. If you want to force your way through, you don't have the same firepower, so you can only rely on numbers, but in this way, this loss is not something that anyone can bear, and if you want to force your way to the island, the loss will be even greater. After the artillerymen left, the adjutant Guan Chengqi looked at the river and said with admiration.

"That's why we were stationed here from above, to prevent people from the Atonement Wilderness and even the Hedong region from coming by mistake out of curiosity or other reasons. Now it is not yet time for Huaxia to open up, and in another year or two, everything will be different!" Liu Hai said with a smile.

"Yes, trembling, like facing the abyss, like walking on thin ice, it's still not strong enough!" Guan Chengqi sighed.

"What's the sour thing about it?" Liu Hai glared at Guan Chengqi angrily, and then said: "But we can't take it lightly, people in the new vision may not have cannons, but it doesn't mean that there are no similar things, this is a place that is not connected to the old world." ”

"That's right!" Guan Chengqi nodded in agreement, but he still said, "But I don't think there will be a Wilderness of Atonement!"

"It's really unlikely that there will be such a militaristic weapon!, but there is also a monster in this world that is comparable to a militaristic weapon!" Liu Hai said, "If this kind of person really attacks, don't be afraid of a frontal attack, if it is a sneak attack at night... I don't think it's going to hold here!"

"Are you a congenital master?" Guan Chengqi subconsciously muttered to himself.

"Hehe, there's on it!"

Guan Chengqi's pupils shrank, but he quickly calmed down, shook his head and smiled: "Where is this kind of character not a guest and will run to the City of Atonement to mix?"

"Who said they must have been miserable to come to Atonement City? Didn't Master Shan Cheng go too?"

"Uh..."

"Okay, that's not our business, let's do our part!"

"No..."

Three days later, a small wharf was built, and the three cargo ships parked on the river were finally able to dock for repairs, and the artillerymen eagerly ordered the slaves to unload the cannons.

Wenlong Island expected that the fort would be built at the highest point on the island, that is, to the west of the center, and four ten-pound guns and four five-pound guns would be erected here. Thus it was not until the large force of the flotilla reached the landing site No. 1 that the first battery was finally equipped with cannons.
