In the early morning of the next day, Li Qing led an army of 100,000 troops to rush to the mouth of the sea with the Fuyang water, at this time a simple wharf had been established in the entire estuary, and a large camp had been set up on the shore, and the grain and grass transported from the ship were being brought ashore.
"The last general, Feng Frame, pays a visit to the prince."
Feng Frame personally went out of the camp to greet him, knelt down on one knee in front of Li Qing and said.
"Brother Feng, please get up quickly."
Li Qing took Feng Frame's hand and said; "Brother Feng, this time you have solved the urgent need of my army, how did you get so much grain and grass."
Feng Frame said to Li Qing: "Lord Wang, this is not all grain and grass; The grain and grass that the last general transported this time was only 300,000 stones, and the rest were all kinds of canned fish and canned game. ” "Don't worry, all kinds of weapons are ready, this king has already brought them with the army."
Li Qing said to Feng Frame; "Brother Feng, tell this king how you got these things, and what about our power overseas."
Feng Frame introduced to Li Qing: "Lord Yu, there are still 40,000 troops of the Qinglong Naval Division overseas, in addition, our servant army Fangs and Minions have expanded to more than 30,000 people, and the army controlled by the Shimazu family has reached more than 50,000 people, and now we have controlled all of Kyushu Island and the entire Shikoku Island; As winter comes, we have to stop our march to the island of Honshu, which we have to get from the two large islands we occupy; As for these canned meats, they are all made by the brothers themselves, and when they have nothing to do, the last general will take the brothers out to fish, and the men and horses sent out to explore the south will hunt every island they go, and slowly accumulate these, mainly canned fish."
"Okay, I didn't expect you to have established such a huge force overseas, and this king really didn't misunderstand you."
Li Qing patted Feng Frame's shoulder and said; "By the way, Brother Feng, how many ships does our fleet have now, and what has the search team found in the south."
"Lord, let's go into the account and talk" After entering the big tent, Feng Frame introduced to Li Qing: "Lord Yu, now there are 3,500 sea ships in the navy fleet, and most of these sea ships are merchant ships snatched from the Song people; And our army of southbound troops has reached the entire position.
Feng Box pointed to the map and said; There are three kingdoms in the Ryukyu Islands in this archipelago, they all want to be vassals of the Great Song Dynasty, and this is also an important supply point for the Song merchants to go south, and now this place has been taken by our army; The last general sent people to this archipelago as the foundation, constantly sent sea ships to harass the southeast coastal waters of the Song army, and snatched merchant ships from the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, since the last general took over, it has never stopped, but the resistance of the Song army's naval division has become more and more intense, causing a lot of losses to our army, and the biggest loss is because of the storm at sea, many brothers were blown away by the storm."
Through Feng Frame's introduction, Li Qing probably understood his overseas forces, and with such a strong force, it was tantamount to good news for Li Qing, and with such a foundation, Li Qing's battle plan would be easier to implement; Then Li Qing asked Feng Box, "How long will it take for the things on the ship to be completed?"
” "With the help of the prince's army, we will be able to move it by tomorrow evening."
Feng Frame said to Li Qing.
"Hurry up, we have to go to sea before the sea freezes," Li Qing said.
"The last general understands, please rest assured" The whole wharf was very busy, in order to leave before the sea froze, Xia Jun carried the baggage on the ship overnight, all the baggage was piled up in the camp on the coast, and all the materials did not have time to record, which was also the most trough thing Xia Jun did, but there was no way, after all, the time left for Xia Jun was limited.
In such a race against time, Li Qing finally left with the fleet and 100,000 troops before the sea froze, but when the Xia army baggage team from the Daimyo's Mansion and Julu came to carry the grain and grass, they were all dumbfounded, and there were all kinds of grain and grass materials everywhere within dozens of miles of the coastline, and there were only more than 100 Xia soldiers guarding them, so many materials were still on the beach in broad daylight, and they were not afraid of being robbed, of course, the materials were some lost, but compared with so much baggage, it was a drop in the bucket.
Li Qing went to sea, and this time with 100,000 soldiers and more than 300,000 war horses, the entire fleet was stuffed to the brim; Three thousand ships drifted on the sea for more than ten days and finally arrived at Yakushima; This is the core of the Xia Army's control of the entire East China Sea, and today's Yakushima Island is very different, and today's Yakushima has built an overseas military base for the Xia Army, with docks, shipyards, blacksmith shops, military camps, school yards, and all other living and military measures.
In addition, Yakushima Island in the south is much warmer than in the north; After Li Qing got off the sea boat, he said: "The king of this book ordered that all the soldiers and war horses should get off the ship and rest for three days, and arrange for the brothers to eat and drink well during these three days. ” After arranging all this, Li Qing returned to his Yanwang Mansion on the island, the original small city has expanded several times in size, some of the families of Xia soldiers live in the city, and the core of the entire Yajiu City is Li Qing's Yanwang Mansion, and now the Yanwang Mansion has also undergone large-scale expansion, the craftsmen used are all Feng Frame from the Great Song Dynasty, and the buildings on the entire island are also southern scenery.
Li Qing asked Feng Frame as he walked, "Brother Feng, this palace was expanded by you. ” "Yes, I saw that the original palace was too small, so I ordered the construction of this new palace, you are also the prince of the empire, and this will also be a permanent water village of the naval fleet, plus we are not short of people or money now, and it is nothing to build a larger palace."
"Okay, let's just not take this example."
Li Qing said happily; "By the way, you don't have to worry about the guards of this palace, let Zhao Ge take charge of the personal guard battalion; Zhao Geren?"
"General Zhao estimates that he won't be able to get up in two days, and this kid's seasickness hasn't passed yet," Feng Frame said with a smile.
Li Qing said to Feng Huan: "Those brothers who are seriously seasick, don't let them participate in this battle, first recuperate and train on the island, and then go to reinforcements when they can go to sea; By the way, the loss of war horses should be counted as soon as possible, and many war horses may be sick and should be treated as soon as possible during the more than ten days of voyage. ” "The prince can rest assured, these generals have already been arranged."
Feng Frame said to Li Qing.
"Brother Feng, you've been busy for a long time, go back and rest first, if there's anything, we'll discuss it tomorrow."
"Then he will retire from his humble position."
After Feng Frame left, Li Qing began to visit his new palace, this palace on the sea was built very carefully, and all the materials used were of the highest specification, much better than Li Qing's Yanwang Mansion in Xijin Mansion, the whole palace has more than 3,000 houses, more than 200 large and small slaves and maids, most of these people were snatched or bought from the Great Song Dynasty.
