Jia Tanchun knew Li Miao's power, so he always felt that Li Miao was a solid backer. At this time, looking at this handsome and not too mature face.

I remembered that my man was not yet twenty-two years old. Jia Tanchun immediately hugged Li Miao's broad chest and fell asleep peacefully.

Li Miao stayed in Datianzhuang for three days in a row, accompanying Jia Tanchun and serving books all day long. The waiter is fine, docile like a kitten.

Jia Tanchun has already started to train her guard commander. Jia Tanchun said with a smile, he is idle anyway.

Training is already available

The experience of "Shunyun Phase I". It doesn't take much effort to improve the abilities of your Guardian Commanders.

Li Miao fell into deep thought, Jia Tanchun had nearly three thousand guards under him. With a little training, it is indeed a considerable strength.

The safety of the big grange will be greatly guaranteed. It is even more beneficial to oneself. Unconsciously, Jia Tanchun has become his right-hand man.

Soon after Li Miao returned to the capital, he received an express report from the Southern Bureau. At the same time, he also received good news from the Southern Secret Bureau and the Li Shuangxiong.

With the establishment of the Secrecy Bureau, its intelligence system was fast and accurate. It was gradually trusted by Li Miao and various local bureaus.

Li Miao also began to increase the construction of the Secrecy Bureau, and gradually developed into the middle and lower echelons of his power. As the top official of the Secret Bureau, Li Shi also had to put down his preparation.

Rededicated to the expansion of the Secret Bureau. Fortunately, there are expansion regulations formulated by Li Miao. The Secrecy Bureau has expanded to the middle and lower levels, and it is proceeding in an orderly manner.

In fact, it is very simple to say, that is, all new personnel of the Secret Service are strict. In particular, the political examination is particularly strict, in line with the principle of preferring shortage to excess.

Therefore, the expansion of the Secrecy Bureau is destined to be a long-term process. In addition, new personnel of the Secrecy Bureau will have a probation period.

Before the completion of the probationary period, it belongs to the probationary period. There is no exact deadline. When to qualify, when to officially retain.

Those who fail to meet the requirements will be eliminated in time. Being able to enter the Secrecy Bureau, even if it is a probationary period, is the wish of many guards.

And they are basically part-time, so it does not affect the work of the local bureaus. Now Li Miao's various forces are extremely strict in the implementation of secrecy regulations.

The newly put on probation is a bit akin to an agent. This also makes the intelligence system of the Secret Service more detailed and detailed.

It was a bonus. Therefore, Li Miao and his local bureaus have become more and more confident in the intelligence system of the Secrecy Bureau.

This is also to be expected. This time, the Li family served as the supreme commander of the pirates in the southern region to fight and suppress.

In fact, this is also reasonable. The Li Clan's strength is outstanding. It has quite a high prestige among Li Miao's forces in general, especially among the escort forces.

The Li family was the first old man to follow Li Miao. The village guards named by Li Miao are all apprentices of the Li family.

Now these name-giving guards are all high-level officials of various local bureaus. It can be described as a high authority. Most of these guards in the village are now the ones who control the force of the local bureaus.

There are also a few people, like the Li family, who serve as captains of large sea ships. The Lee family has participated in Japan's long-distance maritime trade and has rich sailing experience.

Last year, he also participated in the naval battle against Annam, and he also had extremely rich experience in actual combat. The Lee duo were indeed the best candidates to command this campaign against pirates.

Not only do they have high prestige, but they also know the captains of large and small sea vessels quite well. The captains of the large and small sea ships that participated in this operation were all apprentices and grandsons of the Li family.

To be able to fight with the Li family is naturally full of confidence. As for the other guards of the Southern Bureau, they are not even apprentices.

In the minds of the leaders of this gang of guards, the Li Clan is naturally a legendary existence. These guards can cooperate with the Li family to fight, and they are already enthusiastic.

Of course, this is also an important reason why Li Miao handed over this important task to the Li family. Morale is important.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree. This operation to clear the pirates was led by the Li family and the two heroes to achieve twice the result with half the effort. This time, the Liaodong Bureau left a three-sailed sea ship in Port Arthur just in case.

There were only ten small sea boats left to cooperate with the actions of the Lushun sea vessel. In addition, there are hundreds of fishing boats, fishing in the waters of Liaodong.

The blockade of the waters of Liaodong is still more than enough. The remaining five three-sailing ships all took part in the campaign to eliminate pirates.

Plus more than 50 small sea boats with double sails. In addition, there is the cooperation of the maritime and land forces of the Southern Bureau. This time, there is no difficulty in clearing the pirates of the entire southern region.

The key question is how to prevent pirates from escaping. These are all mine slaves urgently needed by the Liaodong Bureau. The southern region has thousands of miles of coastline.

It is obviously unrealistic to try to catch these pirates in general. It's just that with the cooperation of the land and sea forces of the Southern Bureau, at most, it is just to let the pirates slip through the net, as little as possible.

In this anti-piracy operation in the southern region, Li Miao had two goals. On the one hand, it was to allow the Liaodong Bureau to obtain a large number of mining slaves.

Promote the rapid development of the industry of Liaodong Bureau. Li Miao's main purpose was to complete the layout of the entire southeast coastal islands.

This time, the vast majority of the maritime forces of the Liaodong Bureau will remain on the key islands off the southeast coast after the war.

in order to deal with the possible emergence of foreign maritime powers. Li Miao also ignored it before. This time, by clearing out pirates, we have completely completed the deployment of key islands along the southeast coast.

The main threat to the future Great Zheng Dynasty came from the sea. With the experience of later generations, Li Miao will have the future of the ocean age.

Whoever has the advantage on the ocean will win the initiative. This is also the reason why Li Miao has always paid attention to the manufacture of large and small sea vessels.

Li Miao has continuously exercised the long-distance sailing ability of large sea ships through long-distance trade. You can also make good profits.

In the future, Li Miao's sea ships will also speed up the process of ocean trade. On the one hand, it is better to train the team and cultivate more talents in ocean shipping.

In addition, you can also earn more wealth for your own power. Voyage trade was no longer limited to Japan and Goguryeo.

Instead, it will sail further afield, and this year will develop ocean trade to Southeast Asia. However, until the Jurchen problem is completely resolved, the long-distance trade will not be developed on a large scale.

As the saying goes, step by step, step by step. The main islands off the southeast coast are marked on the nautical charts drawn by Li Miao.

These islands are either geographically precarious or blessed with natural conditions. With these blessed islands, the sea forces on the southeast coast do not need a large amount of supplies from the Southern Bureau.

All you need to do is provide some necessary supplies. In view of the development of maritime power in the southern region, Li Miao has long formulated an outline for the development of the islands.

It is necessary to consider not only the strategic significance of the islands, but also the economic interests. Only in this way can it be conducive to the sustainable development of the maritime forces of the Southern Bureau.

Therefore, the main task of the large and small sea ships of the Liaodong Bureau led by the Li Shuangxiong is to occupy the large and small islands on the southeast coast marked by Li Miao.

The islands were also a major agglomeration of large numbers of pirates. In addition, if you occupy those habitable islands, there will definitely be a lot of people who will be captured by the pirates.

These people will be the target of the Southern Bureau in the future. The Southern Bureau will send people to manage and treat these people well.

Just like the people of your own power, heart for heart. Let them become loyal supporters of Li Miao's forces.

Eventually become your own person. Let them be the birthplace of a large number of sailors and guards. This is what Li Miao values the most.

Before the start of this operation, the Li Shuangxiong met with the senior officials of the Southern Bureau and the main person in charge of the maritime forces of the Southern Bureau at Husong Port.

After the war, some maritime forces of the Liaodong Bureau, such as the Li Shuangxiong, would stay on the islands along the southeast coast. In principle, the Li Shuangxiong and others have since been subordinate to the forces of the Southern Bureau.

The Li family is still very polite to Li Zuhua, the head of the Southern Bureau. The Li duo did not become complacent because they were the commander-in-chief of the campaign.

For Li Zuhua, the clan brother, the Li family also gave enough face. Li Zuhua will not take it big, and he is even more impressed by the Li family.

What kind of virtue the Li family originally had, Li Zuhua still knew. After a few humble concessions, Li Shoushuangxiong began to arrange combat missions.

The large and small sea vessels of the Liaodong Bureau were responsible for clearing and garrisoning pirates on the islands marked on the charts. As for the rest of the islands, they will be cleared one by one after they are stationed on the islands in the future.

The large and small sea vessels of the Southern Bureau are responsible for the blockade of the sea areas near the main seaports in the southern region. Catch pirates who slipped through the net.

At that time, it will be handed over to the large and small sea ships of the Liaodong Bureau, so that they can be brought back to the Liaodong Bureau together. At that time, the Southern Bureau will also send additional personnel to pick up leaks in coastal areas.

The Downwind Transport Dart Bureau will even be notified to participate in joint operations. Make sure to catch as many pirates as you can who have fled inland.

As for the pirates who fled to the open sea, they were left to fend for themselves. It is unlikely that it will survive on its own.

Neither large nor small sea ships nor did they have the energy to pursue. In order not to startle the snake, the unified action is scheduled to be launched simultaneously in 10 days.

The large and small sea vessels of the Liaodong Bureau will sail along the open sea this time. After arriving at the designated location, the operation will be launched in the early morning of the 10th day.

The maritime forces of the Southern Bureau are business as usual, and they usually sail along the coastline. You don't have to do it too much.

It's just that after 10 days, martial law will be imposed on the sea area. Seizure of all vessels in the area where they are located. What the Li Shuangxiong and the senior management of the Southern Bureau couldn't understand was that Li Miao attached great importance to the island of Taiwan.

It is required that the two heroes of the Lee family must completely occupy the island of Taiwan in this operation. In the event of a complete killing by a foreign force, no one will be left alive.

According to the high-level officials of the Southern Bureau, the island of Taiwan is still just a primitive island. Except for a few primitive inhabitants, the island is largely a wilderness.

There is no value of occupation at all. This time, the Li Shuangxiong sent a luxurious lineup of three sailing ships and six small sea boats to Taiwan Island.

It's a bit like killing chickens with a knife. The Li family's key care for Li Miao has never been discounted in the implementation of the matter.
