Great Song Pirate

Chapter 372 Fubo Infantry (Ask for a monthly pass!)

Just when Xu Yi and the others were about to lose patience, there was a loud horn sound from the pier this afternoon. Xu Yi and the others immediately raised their legs and rushed towards the pier after hearing the sound.

A huge fleet appeared far away on the sea outside the Jilongzhai Wharf. From a distance, one could clearly see the unique black skull flag of the Fubo Army flying on the mainmast of each ship. This fleet is A fleet dominated by Jiangbei ships can own so many Jiangbei ships. Apart from Fang Shu, there are only water cats left. When Xu Yi saw the fleet clearly, his heart just It is completely in the stomach.

As soon as the water cat got off the boat and saluted Xu Yi and the others, Xu Yi pulled him up and punched him heavily on the shoulder. The water cat covered his shoulders with a face full of pain and bent down.

"You bastard, you want to kill us? Do you know what we've been through these days? I thought something happened to you, why didn't you come over earlier? Huh? Are you injured?" Xu Yi grabbed the water cat's arm Arms complained, and suddenly he noticed that the expression of the water cat seemed to be a little different, only to find that there seemed to be something wrapped around his shoulders under his clothes, and only then did he realize that the water cat was injured.

As soon as everyone heard that the water cat was injured, they gathered around one after another, asking why.

Shui Mao hurriedly made amends and said with a smile: "Isn't it because I wanted to give the big boss a big gift before I came back! Before I left, I took the fleet to the country of Wa for a big ticket, but when I retreated, I was chased by the Japanese and suffered a big blow." Arrow, but it’s not a big problem. When we returned to Cancer Island, we tried our best to clean up the Japanese fleet and killed many of their ships. In a short time, they probably don’t have the strength to trouble me in Xikaidao again!”

Xu Yi asked with concern: "Then how is your injury now?"

The water cat patted himself on the shoulder and said with a smile: "What can those dwarves' arrows do to me? It's okay, it's just a small injury. I'm so greedy. When I come back, the boss will let me have a good drink. ah!"

Everyone laughed for a while, as the water cat fleet gradually docked, since then all the commanders of the Fubo army have gathered in Jilong Village, and among the goods transported by the water cat fleet this time, unexpectedly The live goods are the most. A fleet came and unloaded nearly [-] Japanese people. These Japanese people were all in ragged clothes and looked disheveled. When he was caught, he somehow became a slave.

Xu Yi laughed again. Now his great gold digging business will not worry about having no labor. In addition to the Japanese and Koreans who were sent over earlier, now he has more than [-] slaves here alone. [-]. There is no problem with manpower for digging coal. Even Danshui Village can provide Gong Zhen with enough slaves for logging. Free labor is better!

After the water cat arrived, Xu Yi specially ordered Jilong Village to take a few days off to let the people who have been busy here for nearly a year relax completely. Such an order was naturally welcomed by everyone, and Jilong Village completely boiled over. , as long as there are conditions, all the places are decorated with lanterns and festoons, and every household walks through the streets and alleys, visiting each other to drink and chat with each other, and there is a warm atmosphere everywhere.

Naturally, Xu Yi couldn't do without a big banquet for the officials. These brothers finally got together, and they didn't have to think about other things for the time being. They just got together to drink and drink, especially for people like Shuimao who are good at drinking. Naturally, we should seize this opportunity to have a good time drinking. Of course, according to Xu Yi's habit, it is necessary to explain the affairs they are responsible for at the wine table, so that Xu Yi can have a general understanding of the place. .

It’s not good to have a big stall. There are many places where Xu Yi wants to visit but he doesn’t have the time. Listening to Shuimao’s description of the looting in Japan, even Xu Yi felt a little itchy in his heart, as if they were doing this. Xu Yi said that he is the master of the Fubo Army, but he is the least likely to be a pirate. Others have the opportunity to rob at sea, but he is busy building his lair all day long, but even In this way, no one would laugh at him. Without him, Fubo Army would not be able to reach today's field anyway.

Most of the people here came to Jilongzhai for the first time, so Xu Yi had to arrange for them to take a good look here. When everyone saw the various workshops in the large workshop area here, they saw The coal that is continuously transported from the Carboniferous Valley and piled up like a mountain in the pier stockyard, the vast and vibrant rice fields outside the stockade, the tung trees planted on the hillsides, and the warehouses for them Seeing the gleaming weapons prepared, batches of bows and crossbows neatly arranged, and those ballistas that were already ready to go, these people felt a little excited.

Another short year has passed, and under the control of Xu Yi, the Fubo army has taken another big step forward. Compared with their previous lair, Dulong Island, it is so big that they can't believe it. This is an island, and they have developed nearly hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland in a chicken coop village, not counting the large tracts of farmland that Danshui Village is currently developing. You don't have to worry about food anymore.

Looking at those well-made weapons, these martial arts guys couldn't put it down. Although they used a lot of weapons made on Dulong Island before, most of them were purchased from land or simply relied on their usual weapons. The guys obtained by looting are not uniform in shape at all. Although they follow Xu Yi's requirements, besides doing things, they practice diligently everywhere, but the brothers everywhere use all kinds of guys, which makes people look like they always feel Not good, but now they saw the forest of weapons piled up in the warehouse, and their saliva immediately flowed all over the place. Now they can finally use the unified weapons they produced, and see who will dare to underestimate them in the future , said that they are rogues, and with these unified weapons, they are more like a regular army. Before Xu Yi arranges to distribute them, these guys clamored to receive weapons, and quarreled with the officials in charge of the warehouse. .

Fortunately, Xu Yi came forward to relieve the subordinate who was in charge of the warehouse, so that everyone should not be anxious. After the new year, they would not return empty-handed, and ensured that they would be supplied with sufficient weapons. Only then did these jealous guys stop. However, they rushed to report the number of weapons they each needed to the treasury officer. I was afraid that they would lose their share later. The treasurer could not offend these big brothers, so he had to follow their requirements Give grades, and guarantee that when they leave after the next year, they will be issued.

Then Xu Yi took everyone to visit many novel tools here, those pestle hammers that operate automatically by hydraulic power, those cranes that can lift heavy objects, and those arrow shafts that can be automatically cut into uniform shapes just by filling in wooden strips The log machine, as well as the huge steel rolling machine that was being cast, made these people even more dumbfounded. After inquiring, they realized that these things were created by Xu Yi in the past six months. They even fell in admiration for Xu Yi. In their eyes, Xu Yi was comparable to a god, and he could actually create so many weird and new gadgets.

This time, there is another person who came with Qian Laoben. When Qian Laoben brought the boat over that day, as soon as he got off the boat at the pier, after seeing Xu Yi, he knelt down in front of Xu Yi alone. It wasn't until Xu Yi saw him from the crowd that he picked him up with his own hands. Only then did everyone recognize that this person was the Cui Yan who desperately called the police to save the entire ship on Tianheng Island. Yi was also very happy. Because Cui Yan was seriously injured when he returned to Dulong Island, he was left on Dulong Island for recuperation. Now that he has recovered his appearance, Xu Yi is really thinking about it. I was happy, knowing that he must have recovered, so I immediately ordered him to join the personal guards and followed him from then on. With the arrival of Cui Yan, the news that Xu Yi saved people with blood last time spread quickly. Among the various tribes who came to Jilongzhai this time, this matter played a role in fueling Xu Yi's reputation, and made these brothers all feel admiration for it.

And after these people arrived at Jilongzhai, they soon heard the legends about Xu Yi and Lei Gong, and everyone even laughed out loud. There are too many unexpected things about their lord. If things go on like this , I might become a fairy!People who knew about this had to ask Xu Yi for the reason of the rumors, but Xu Yi mysteriously bypassed them, making everyone feel itchy. From what they saw, the rumors appeared They also roughly guessed that the thunderous sound had something to do with the gunpowder that Xu Yi made before, and the smarter people immediately guessed that Xu Yi might come up with something new this time, so they waited expectantly. Let Xu Yi reveal the mystery to them.

Fortunately, Xu Yi didn't intend to hide from them for a long time. After leading everyone to visit the whole Jilong Village, he called everyone together for a discussion on the third day of the Lunar New Year. This time, Xu Yi made another unexpected decision, according to his request After the new year, the Fubo Army will formally form a Fubo Army infantry, according to his words, it is the Fubo Army Marine Corps!

Looking at the puzzled expressions of the people sitting below, Xu Yi opened his mouth to explain to everyone: "I think you must not understand why I decided to form an infantry army. Today I will explain it to you. I know that many of you are already satisfied with our current situation, and think that what we are doing is just plundering the sea, and there is no need to create another infantry. If you think so, you are completely wrong!
Let’s not talk about it, let’s just talk about the Liuqiu Island we occupy now. In fact, this Liuqiu Island is so big that you can’t even imagine how big it is. A barren land, but in fact this place is far from as desolate as you think. As far as I know, this Liuqiu Island has not too few local aborigines alone, and if you go south, there are already many natives there. The Han people who immigrated from the land settled here and opened up. It can be said that this is by no means a safe place, but a place with intricate forces. Although we have not yet had large-scale conflicts with others, as long as we want to If we continue to develop here, the local aborigines or those immigrants who arrived earlier will have a battle sooner or later, otherwise we will never have a long-term foothold here!This is one of them!

If our Fubo army wants to continue to grow, it is not a long-term solution to rely on you all to rob at sea outside, and we will not be willing to settle here for a while. It is not our Fubo army's behavior to stand still, otherwise we will also It is impossible to reach the point where we are today, and we are likely to go out in the future. Now it seems that we have not many forces on the sea that can meet our sharp edge, but if we want to expand our territory and continue to grow, we alone The fleet is absolutely impossible. Although we now have some jumpers in the fleet, and I believe that the combat power of these brothers is definitely not weak, but after all, these jumpers on each ship cannot be regarded as an organized infantry. , there is no problem in using it at sea. Once it is on land, the command and dispatch cannot be compared with the established infantry. That's why I want to form an infantry that can go from sea to land. Once it is used, our Not only can we rely on this infantry to defend Liuqiu Island, but we can also rely on this infantry to attack the land and become a mighty army that can decisively fight on land!

For us who only have a navy and no infantry, this is also our weakness. You work outside all year round. I think you should be more aware of this situation than me. If we have a usable infantry to cooperate with the navy If it is, I am afraid that our harvest will be greater. I think Shuimao and Fang Shu may feel the most deeply. When you are plundering the coast of Japan and Koryo, if you are given another fierce infantry, I am afraid you dare to go deep into the land. When they want to plunder their land, why worry about making small troubles in the coastal areas?

The establishment of a strong army is not something that can be done overnight. It is not something that can be done by someone. It takes a lot of time. We must plan ahead and make preparations in advance. , and will only lose some lives in vain. You know this better than anyone else, how important strict drills are to an army.

Based on these thoughts, I feel that this matter cannot be delayed any longer, and must be started as soon as possible. I plan to start forming our infantry at Danshui Village after the next year. Do you have any objections to this matter? "Xu Yi threw out his thoughts eloquently, but he still didn't say his real intention of forming an infantry.

After listening to Xu Yi's explanation, everyone also understood his intentions. Since there are so many reasons for forming an infantry army, they have no reason to dissuade Xu Yi from engaging in an infantry army, so everyone nodded, while Shuimao and Fang Shu But he was very enthusiastic, Shuimao smiled and said: "What the boss said is very true, I think this infantry should be done, if we have an infantry, this time I will not eat so big in the Feiqian country of the Japanese country. It's a shame, we are really not afraid of those dwarfs in water battles, but after we get to land, we won't take advantage of those dwarf warriors! Looking back, if our infantry is built, I think the first You just have to follow me and give me the air of a bird in my chest, I can't take this arrow in vain! I have to ask those dwarfs to get it back!"

After listening to Shuimao's words, everyone had to laugh again. Xu Yi nodded and continued: "At present, our two villages in Liuqiu Island are just waiting for business, and people are needed everywhere. It may not be realistic to immediately form a large number of infantry troops. For this matter, we must first recruit some people from your fleet, and use these troops as the basis to build the prototype of our infantry army. After the land reclamation is over, we will transfer people from the immigrants to join the infantry, so as to create a land army of our own! Since you want our marines to accompany you to the country of Wa, this time you need more Just provide some manpower, according to your own situation, and ensure that your combat power is not damaged, try to send as many people as possible to send back to Danshui Village, we will start to do this in the next year, don't delay!"

So everyone immediately got up and obeyed orders. At this time, Yang Zaixing also got up and said to Xu Yi: "My lord is really far-sighted, and my subordinates really admire it, but I also have an idea, so that our Fubo army can always have a usable army." soldiers and horses!"

Xu Yi immediately nodded and said, "Oh? Then you might as well talk about it! What can you do!"

Yang Zaixing then bowed and replied: "My subordinates also know that building an infantry army will not happen overnight, but as far as I know, the current pioneering work in Jilong Village and Danshui Village has basically come to an end. Immigrant resettlement is also proceeding step by step, and for those immigrants who already own land, they actually have a lot of time after farming the farmland allocated to them. Instead of letting them idle, I think it is better Organize them and form a rural army first, so that there will be no delay. Let them go home to farm when the farming is busy, and conduct unified drills when the farming is slack. It will affect the matter of pioneering. If one day we need to use them, we can quickly have a group of usable soldiers. This method has been used since ancient times, and it is very effective. On this basis, we can also Select a group of strong and strong men from among them to form our standing army. After rigorous training, one of the strong men selected will surely be able to make a strong army of ten! I wonder what the lord will think?"

After listening to what Yang Zaixing said, Xu Yi immediately nodded and said, "This is a good idea! If we do this, we can take both into account, which is a good idea. I think we can do what Zaixing said. The advantage of doing this is that We are basically a military-civilian combination, and all the people are soldiers! In this way, we have solved the problem of our military resources. Today we might as well settle this matter. Zaixing, you are the best at commanding the infantry, so I will leave it to you to work hard. !"

Regarding Xu Yi's appointment of Yang Zaixing as the commander of the infantry of the Fubo Army, no one raised any objections. If one is said to be the most qualified person to be the commander, then Yang Zaixing is absolutely the best candidate no matter in terms of ability or status!
