After arranging all the military affairs, the rest of the people retired one after another.

Tai Shiwang stopped Qin Zhen.

The upright face of the Chinese character was full of caution.

"Are you really planning to recruit on the spot?"

It seemed that he was worried that Qin Zhen was young and didn't know the depth of it, he added.

"You know who the people are on Rakshasa Reef, right?"

"Of course."

Qin Zhen replied casually.

"Homeless slaves, refugees who have been taken captive, and the great merchants who have a great hatred for the pirates. This is simply the perfect source of soldiers. ”

"......" Tai Shiwang was speechless for a while.

He thought about it carefully, and it was true that in addition to the murderous pirates and the ronin who had lost their conscience, there were indeed only those people in Qin Zhen's mouth left on this broken island.

But that doesn't mean they're the right troop.

"You know, General Zhong once had the same idea as you, wanting to rescue the innocents on Rakshasa Reef in order to recover Rakshasa Reef, but in the end he failed."

Tai Shiwang's eyes flashed with a ghostly light.

"No one can be kind after going through extreme suffering, and they survive in the darkness because they are part of it. Do you know why the evil Taiwan country clamored all day long to include this place as its own territory, but never openly sent troops to this place? ”

"Discord is the purest rule here."

As he spoke, Tai Shiwang patted Qin Zhen thoughtfully, and said in a deep voice.

"Listen to my advice, and no one in this place can be trusted. They are not evil Taiwanese people, nor are they big businessmen, but Haikou cowards, understand? ”

After returning from Tai Shiwang, Qin Zhen had been thinking about the deep meaning of these words.

He suddenly felt as if he was thinking too simply.

Haikou is different from mountain bandits, and Rakshasa Reef is not Mao'er Mountain.

Is there anyone who can survive hell, but who are innocent?

"That's fine......

He muttered, a subtle glint flashing in his eyes.

"In this way, there is no psychological burden......

Soon, after two more days of wandering at sea, I finally saw a strange island.

Because the water surface along the coast is shallow, all the large sea ships stay on the sea hundreds of meters away from the shore, leaving some soldiers to garrison. The rest of the people took small moored boats and landed one after another.

According to the plan, Qin Zhen took people and changed to a small boat to go to Xiaoyan Island farther away.

Because the boat can accommodate only a limited number of people at a time, it has to make several round trips to transport all the people there.

As the first batch of people to go ashore first, Qin Zhen stepped on the damp sand, looking at the bald island in front of him, which could be seen at a glance, and suddenly felt tricky.

Even though he was mentally prepared for the journey, when he actually came to Little Rock Island, he realized that he still underestimated the barrenness of this island.

There are rocks, weeds, not even a single log, and the terrain is still very rugged.

"Set up camp here? Zhen'er, do you think that damn Wang Ping deliberately harmed us? With this broken ground, no one else has to go ashore, and a few ships will surround us, and we hundreds of people will die before they last half a month. ”

Chen Shu pointed out the disadvantages of stationing on Xiaoyan Island very sophisticatedly.

"No, absolutely not! We're stuck here as a dead word! ”

"I don't know how to line up, but I can tell it's not a good place." Shanhai also chimed in: "This place is like a head without hair, and we are lice on the head, don't we make it clear and waiting for people to shoot to death?" ”

This very vivid metaphor makes many people laugh.

It also makes them frown.

Obviously, the harsh environment of Xiaoyan Island is not suitable for garrison.

After a brief investigation of the environment of Xiaoyan Island, Qin Zhen concluded that this island was not defended.

As the name suggests, Xiaoyan Island is an island composed of rocks, with extremely hard soil, and the soil is closely connected by rocks and plant roots. It is difficult to carry out even the simplest excavations, let alone dig the foundations and set up camp.

The island is obviously bare for a reason.

"We can't stay here, we have to go ashore."

Qin Zhen made a decision immediately.

This broken island can't hold five hundred people, what's the use of guarding here? Even if others really pass through here, they will go from the sea, who is stupid to attack this bald island? Qin Zhen now knew why Wang Ping wanted him to guard this small rock island.

He's just locking himself in here to disgust himself!

First, he can move himself far away and avoid his own surveillance, and second, he can use Xiaoyan Island to restrict Qin Zhen so that he does not dare to leave without permission, otherwise once an enemy leaves here, he will be questioned if he doesn't have time to inform the Chinese army!

The shore is just over 200 meters away from Little Rock Island, and half of the distance is shallow and reef.

On the shore, it is the southwest end of Rakshasa Reef, with abundant vegetation and dense vegetation.

"Cut down trees and set up camps now." Qin Zhen paused and said, "Chop down more trees and transport them to Xiaoyan Island, and the whole guard tower will warn." ”

In his opinion, the entire number of watchtowers is already very face-saving for the king.

If it weren't for the fact that the ships were all docked behind Xiaoyan Island, he wouldn't even want to build these guard towers for fear that something would happen to the ship.

"Chen Shu, take people to the east to explore the way; Mountains and seas, you go north; Zhao Yu went south with me. Try to find out the situation within a radius of two kilometers as much as possible, don't act rashly when you encounter a living person, withdraw immediately, we don't have enough manpower, don't conflict with strangers. ”

"Li Jiu, take people to build fortifications on the spot, and be optimistic about the ships."

After arranging the matter, Qin Zhen and the others immediately set off.

This area is a fog on the sea chart, and it belongs to the unknown place, Qin Zhen must explore it first, so that he can have a bottom in his heart.

He didn't know that on the mountains in the distance, countless pairs of eyes were staring at their group of uninvited guests.

"Your Excellency, it looks like this group of big businessmen wants to set up camp in this place." A one-eyed dragon said in a deep voice in the evil Taiwanese language, "Do you think they are coming to us?" ”

In front of him was a young girl, dressed in a smart red kimono, with a fiery ponytail hanging down to her waist, and her eyes were cold.

Wife Hehui said coldly: "For many years, there have been few big businessmen here, and today's sudden visit must have a deep meaning!" Let's not act rashly, grab a few tongues and ask clearly! ”

"But they are divided into three ways, which team do we start with?" The one-eyed dragon asked.

After thinking about it slightly, his wife stayed on Qin Zhen's branch.

"That group is numerous, and there must be the leader of the big merchants among them!"

As she spoke, she picked up her bow and arrows and waved her arms.

"Sons, charge with me and capture this big merchant alive!"
