It has been half a month since the information was delivered to Qin Huaidao. Herb

The Flying Eagle also has to be transferred at one stop, and it is impossible to fly directly from Linyi to the Han Dynasty.

It was expected by Qin Huaidao to take the entire south, but he was still very excited to see that it was realized, which meant expanding the territory, however, piracy is indeed a problem, there are many islands in the south of the sea, pirates are rampant, and they may land and plunder at any time, and there will be endless troubles if they are not solved.

But naval warfare is not a land war, you need sea ships, you need a navy, and you need to be familiar with the sea area, reefs, climate, etc., all of which are indispensable, otherwise going to sea is sending you to death.

All these things are lacking, and they can't go to sea to fight.

Qin Huaidao sat alone in the study and meditated for a whole morning, and finally decided not to fight first, defense first, and then talk about it after Li Tai was cleaned up, and quickly called Li Jingren, wrote down a creed, and stamped it with a private seal.

There is only one line on the creed - coastal defense, wolf smoke warning, no going to sea, open up wasteland to grow grain.

The more words there are, the more paper you need, and it's inconvenient for the eagle to carry it. Herb

Qin Huaidao believed that Cheng Chumo knew what to do when he saw the creed, and motioned for Li Jingren to send it out quickly.

After that, Qin Huaidao returned to the workshop.

During this time, Qin Huaidao almost stayed in the workshop to guide craftsmen to make embroidered spring knives, develop gunpowder to make grenades, explosives bags, etc., to prepare for the next big war.

But the appearance of the pirates made Qin Huaidao realize that it was time to take precautions, let people vacate a separate house, arrange a team of brocade guards to guard it, bring their own tools, and start to build steam engines by hand.

Without ironclad ships, it is no wonder that the naval battle of Yu Chi Baolin would have been lost.

There was previous experience in building a steam engine in Qinjiazhuang, and the rebuilding was obviously much faster, and after ten days, a simple steam engine was made, and the effect was so-so after the test, and the power was barely usable, after that, Qin Huaidao began to build a simple lathe.

There is a steam engine as power, through the bearing to drive the gear rotation, the gear is connected to the head of the lathe, the head of the lathe is used to fix the object to be processed, the object rotates, and then with the turning tool cutting, you can process a variety of round, oval, conical, round hole and other objects. Herb

For example, shell shells are not well processed without a lathe.

When he was still in Qinjiazhuang, Qin Huaidao built a simple lathe by hand, and the last big move was transported, but it was bumped and damaged all the way, and it needed to be repaired again, and the repair was much simpler.

Ten days later, a simple lathe was done, connected to the steam engine, looking at the rumbling and rotating head Qin Huaidao smiled, although he was not satisfied, but he could barely use it, and found a few loyal and reliable craftsmen to teach the lathe technology, and he couldn't process the shells by himself every day in the future, right?

Everything is being prepared in an orderly manner.

……

Almost at the same time.

Jeju Island is facing a catastrophe. Herb

On the eastern slope, Yu Chi Baolin looked at the sea ships that were pressing down and slowly coming up, and his mood was extremely heavy, although he ran to Goguryeo some time ago and recruited 3,000 people to come over, but he didn't have time to train, his combat effectiveness had not yet come out, and there were less than 2,000 veterans around him, how to fight?

"At least 30,000 pirates, the coastline here is long, and once they land separately, they can't be stopped at all." Wei Chigong said in a low voice, looking at the pirates who suddenly appeared in front of him, his eyes were also full of worry.

After thinking for a moment, Wei Chigong looked around vigilantly, lowered his voice and said, "It's really not good, you take your family to withdraw first, and I will stay, which can be regarded as an explanation to King Han." ”

"It's me who wants to stay, I'm the commander of this army appointed by King Han, you're not, there's no point in staying." Yu Chi Baolin said in a low voice.

"You kid ......" Wei Chigong was speechless with anger.

As an elder, I naturally hope that my children will live and the family will pass it on, and when I die, there will be nothing left.

But I have to admit that anyone in this army can withdraw, but Wei Chi Baolin cannot. Herb

After pondering for a moment, Wei Chigong said helplessly: "Then let's fight to the death!" ”

"Newspaper—"

A person rushed over, hugged his fists and said: "General cavalry, there are thousands of sea ships in the west, they look like pirates, but they should be Tang people." ”

"Tang people? Are you sure? Yu Chi Baolin's face changed greatly.

"There are all kinds of flags, I know the words written, what Cui, Yu, Luo and the like, the words of the Japanese are different, and the other pirates we meet don't even have flags, draw a skeleton, or put a skeleton directly on the mast, and it comes from the west, it must be a Tang person."

After listening to the explanation, Yu Chi Baolin looked at Yu Chi Gong.

Wei Chigong's face also changed greatly, and he said in a deep voice: "Could it be that the imperial court is pretending to be pirates and wants to put us to death?" "Herbs

"Bastard!"

Yu Chi Baolin said angrily: "Where are there islands along the coast, except for the imperial court, there is no one else, even if it is not the imperial court army pretending, it is also the imperial court that let the families of the coastal states take action, pretend to be pirates to kill, thousands of ships must have tens of thousands of people, this is a conspiracy." ”

"The family made a move, united with the Japanese state, and attacked from both sides?" Wei Chigong reacted.

Yu Chi Baolin nodded heavily, angry.

There were only 10,000 or 20,000 Japanese people from the east, plus more than 10,000 people from the west, and although they had 5,000 people, they had 3,000 new soldiers, and there was no chance of winning this battle.

"Withdraw, keep the green mountains here, don't be afraid of no firewood." Wei Chigong said in a low voice.

Yu Chi Baolin looked at the people around him, his face was solemn, he was very unwilling, he followed the King of Han to sweep the Japanese kingdom, but now the independent leader has lost one battle after another, how can this be? Herb

"If you don't withdraw, you are ready to fight to the death, and you must not hesitate." Wei Chigong reminded.

"Daddy?" Yu Chi Baolin wanted to speak and stopped.

Wei Chigong has fought all his life, how could he not know what to say, and interrupted: "The big husband acts, when he is worthy of heaven and earth, no one trusts him, and if he dies, he will die, then he will fight vigorously, worthy of the trust of the King of Han, and Lao Tzu can also give an explanation to Brother Qin Qiong when he goes down." ”

"Daddy, I'm sorry!"

", it has nothing to do with you, it's the old man who is coming, the old brothers are gone, I'm bored to stay in this world alone, it's time to go down to see them, you guard the east, and leave the west to me." Wei Chigong was decisive on the sofa, made a quick decision, and hurried away with a group of people.

"Baoqi!"

"Here, big brother, what's the matter?" Yu Chi Baoqi walked over quickly. Herb

Yu Chi Baolin looked around, lowered his voice and explained: "If it is impossible to disobey, take the mother and them to withdraw, and the last ironclad ship knows where to hide, right?" ”

"Big brother, me?" Yu Chi Baoqi was anxious when she heard this.

"Listen to the eldest brother, our Wei Chi family can't break its roots, go to the west to find the King of Han, and take revenge in the future."

"Big brother, you go, I'll stay."

", I'm the commander of an army, I can't go, let's go and command the battle." Yu Chi Baolin scolded in a low voice, looked at the ship that was getting closer and closer, the horse lance in his hand shook, buzzed and trembled, and shouted loudly: "Archers prepare, aim for me." ”

The archers drew their bows and stared ahead.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out. Herb
