"That's all?"

Yan Kai looked at the opened Tsushima Harbor Warehouse and said with some dissatisfaction.

Except for the iron ore they snatched from Silla, the rest of the warehouse was basically in tatters.

That's right, in Yan Kai's eyes now, these things that can be put into the warehouse are indeed junk.

Some smelly salted fish, and corn that was a little moldy due to humidity.

To be honest, these things are not eaten by pigs in Kuoding County now.

There are also some broken weapons.

If it were the original, Miebe Mojin might still refute it.

But after seeing the steel battleships and the armors of Chun Yuzhen and Cheng Hualiang that looked like monsters, Jingbu Maojin felt a little blushed when he heard Yan Kai say this.

It's like a poor author who returns home for the New Year and meets a rich relative, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Why are you still standing there? Ask your husband to move the ore he gave me to the dock!"

All the warships on Tsushima Island have gone out and they dare not come back.

However, there are still a lot of civilians left on the island.

After giving the order, the cart started transporting the ore.

"Brother, how are we going to transport these ores back?" Cheng Huailiang asked worriedly, looking at so much ore.

"You're careless!" Yan Kai shook his head: "We should have left a few Fuso ships to help with the transportation."

He thought for a moment and said, "Go back to the Chang'an and ask Lao Li to go to Silla and ask them to send some cargo ships over."

"Also, we snatched the ore back this time and helped them find the place. Don't worry about the expense."

Yan Kai gave Cheng Hualiang a few words of advice and then let him go.

He didn't leave himself and stayed on Tsushima Island.

To be honest, this harbor is really nice.

It is located in the throat zone between the Korean Peninsula and Fuso Island.

The port in Kuoding County is a shallow water port.

This is also one of the reasons why the Pipi Xia and Changan did not dare to be built.

The water is not deep enough.

The port of Tsushima Island is a deep-water port, and there is a deep-sea channel out there, which is naturally very beneficial for large ships.

In addition to its large scale, Fuso's more than 400 warships are not the limit of this port.

For a ship of that size, it would be no problem to dock six to seven hundred boats.

When the weather is good, you can see Busan directly from here, and it only takes a few hours to go to Fukuoka in Fuso by boat.

It is never an exaggeration to say that it is a strategic location.

Moreover, the island is quite rich in resources, including fresh water and large forests.

A warm branch of the Kuroshio Current, a famous current in the North Pacific, flows here and is called the Tsushima Current.

Brought a lot of fish.

If you occupy this place, you will basically be able to be self-sufficient in food and drink, and there will also be a large amount of wood resources that can be provided for the shipbuilding industry and the construction of fortifications.

Yan Kai turned around in a big circle, becoming more and more satisfied with it.

Kuoding County is a bit small after all. As a county close to the sea, it is reasonable to have several islands in its jurisdiction, right?

The distance from this island to Kuoding County is further than that from Kuoding County to Luoyang...

How about doing some tricks on the map? Draw closer?

Back at the dock, Tsushima Island was basically within the possession of Kuoding County in Yan Kaixin's mind.

Even Jeju Island, southwest of Tsushima Island, was on his mind.

If you can establish your own naval bases on these two islands, you can completely control the maritime traffic in Northeast Asia.

Now, in order to gain its own support, Silla has nominally respected the Tang Dynasty.

It’s a bit difficult to start with Jeju Island.

Forget it, you have to eat your food one bite at a time, let’s take down Tsushima Island first.

Jingbu Maojin looked at Yan Kai meditating there, and he was also beating in his heart.

Just now, Yan Kai took him around for a while and inquired about the situation on the island in detail.

Could it be that there is some kind of treasure on this island?

Then he heard Yan Kai ask: "Can you Fusang rent land?"

Jingbu Maojin didn't know why Yan Kai asked, but he just said honestly: "Of course it can be rented. Many people will rent land from the Zong family for farming, as long as they pay the rent."

"Then who owns this Tsushima Island?"

"Huh? Huh?" Miebe Mojin was really shocked.

Rental land is available, but what does Tsushima mean, you ask?

Are you planning to rent this island?

Such a large island doesn't belong to anyone. If you want to rent it, you need the Emperor's permission, right?

While the two were chatting, they saw a fleet of ships appearing on the distant horizon.

Minato Mojin was shocked. If they came at this time, weren't they the fleet that came to haul ore?

Isn't this meat bun beating a dog now?

Yan Kai, the Pipi Shrimp outside the port, and the Chang'an, which had not yet left, also saw it.

Someone sent a signal to the Chang'an and the Pipi Xia, and the two ships went over to meet them.

I could see clearly through the telescope that what was coming were ordinary cargo ships, about thirty or so.

Such a ship poses no threat to the Chang'an and the others.

Shanbei's eldest brother, Wang, who was on the boat a little later, also received news that two boats were approaching.

They didn't have telescopes, and it was already getting late. The eldest brother Yamabei thought he was coming to greet his Mikado Mojin, and didn't take him seriously at all.

After driving for a while, I felt something was wrong.

You have a tailwind, and the other side is a headwind.

Why does it feel like a boat is coming so fast from the other side?

Finally getting closer, Shanbei's eldest brother Wang realized that what was coming was not their Fuso warship.

The densely packed sails, the terrifying collision angle and the extremely fast speed.

As well as the black-and-white flag that was raised only after getting closer, it all showed that this was a pirate ship.

"Turn the helm, turn around!"

Shanbei's eldest brother Wang shouted in a panic.

He was very proud when he came, feeling that if he got the iron ore and armed himself with the army, he would be able to win the next power struggle.

It was originally a freighter, not a battle formation.

His ship was naturally the first.

Such an order was given in a hurry, and the ship began to turn the rudder desperately.

The problem is that he has a tailwind, and it takes time to turn around.

The helmsman exerted all his strength and finally made the boat draw a circular arc on the sea.

then……

It happened to be keeping pace with the Chang'an that was catching up.

This is a bit embarrassing.

When Shanbei Brother Wang raised his head, he could see the soldiers on the side of the Chang'an next to him holding a crossbow pointed at him.

Of course he has guards around him.

But looking at the other soldier with steel armor on his face, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Still running?" Cheng Hualiang shouted from the side of the ship: "I'd be so rude if you run again!"

"Ahem, who are you? Do you know who I am?" Shanbei's elder brother Wang shouted in a stern tone.

"Then do you know who I am?" Cheng Huailiang stared at me and asked me what I was saying?

With a bang, the crossbow arrow was nailed to the feet of the eldest brother on the back of the mountain.
