Late at night, there was another incident of a deep-sea dragon attacking Blue Wind Port, but it was secretly put down by the Gonggong navy led by Zhulong.
The next morning, the sea breeze was brisk, and the wind was mixed with fine snow particles, which hit my face extremely painfully.
Lin Muyu returned to the big tent where he lived after completing his patrol, only to find Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi making coffee in their residence.
The coffee maker was brought back from the earth and heated with alcohol.
Now the two of them have become proficient in using it.
And it's rare to be able to drink warm, mellow coffee in the Broken Cauldron world.
"Damn, this is really unsettling."
Feng Jixing came in cursing, looked up, and immediately said respectfully: "His Highness and the princess are here, please see your Highness.
Good morning, Your Highness."
Qin Yin smiled and said, "Why is Commander Feng so angry about something?
Let's sit down and have a cup of tea."
"Thank you, Your Highness" Feng Jixing sat down opposite Lin Muyu and said: "Ayu, last night the second deep-sea dragon attacked our harbor and capsized three gondolas and a flat boat. nnd, that flat boat belongs to us.
The main warship can be used for transportation and artillery warfare.
This is good.
It costs more than 100,000 gold coins to build one.
This is good.
The dragon waved its tail and was sunk. " "I know everything."
Lin Muyu groaned and said: "I sent hundreds of Gonggong navy troops into the deep sea last night to explore.
They reported back in the morning, saying that due to the climate change of the punishment of heaven, the temperature in the air dropped a lot, but the deep sea was heating up. , so those deep-sea dragons couldn't stand the heat and came ashore one after another.
Relatively speaking, they like the climate on land more. " "How many dragons are there in the deep sea?"
"Thousands of people.
If nothing else happens, within three days we will receive many reports of fishermen on the seashore being attacked by deep-sea dragons."
"Do we need to send people to exterminate these deep sea dragons?"
"We are powerless.
Ordinary soldiers are no match for the deep sea dragon.
A hundred soldiers may not be able to defeat one dragon.
Even the dragon's skin scales can withstand the bombardment of the magic crystal cannon."
"Guaiguai is so powerful."
Feng Jixing was stunned and said, "Just pretend I didn't say it, but your Gonggong navy is very powerful and good at water warfare.
Why don't you send them out to kill the deep sea dragons to prevent these beasts from harming the common people?
Woolen cloth" "I have already given the order and ordered Zhulong to take charge of offshore defense.
The 30,000 Gonggong naval forces were divided into hundreds of legions to disperse and patrol our offshore areas to ensure nothing goes wrong."
"That's good."
Feng Jixing clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Your Highness Yin, is my tea ready?"
"Wait a moment, it'll be ready soon."
Qin Yin smiled sweetly.
At this moment, two beautiful figures walked in from outside, they were Chu Yao and Ouyang Yan.
"Sister Chu Yao, you are here" Lin Muyu stood up and personally moved a chair to Chu Yao.
After Chu Yao sat down, she smiled sweetly and said, "So there are so many people."
"You must be here for something."
"Um."
Chu Yao's eyes were watery and she said softly: "As for the medicinal herbs, more than 30% of our soldiers have frostbite on their hands and feet.
The frostbite has spread very badly, which will greatly affect the combat effectiveness.
I have ordered them to prepare gloves and leather boots."
Such cold protection items, but this cannot cure them immediately, and some medicines are needed to promote the healing of frostbite.”

"Is there no stock in the elixir department?"
Feng Jixing asked.
Chu Yao smiled slightly, shook her head and said: "Originally, I had some, but they have been used up in the past half month.
The weather is very cold and more and more soldiers are suffering from frostbite.
When I came here, I had already placed a purchase list for Wugucheng and Muyucheng.
The Chamber of Commerce in various places has no medicines in stock, but these merchants still have a lot of inventory, but the funds of the Spiritual Medicine Department have been exhausted, so this fee must be allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs. " Qin Yin came over with a cup of coffee, placed it in front of Chu Yao, and said with a smile: "I know, how much is the total?"
"Eight hundred thousand gold coins."
Chu Yao took out a list of funding applications from her arms and said: "This list was issued by the Department of Spiritual Medicine and the Ministry of War, and I want to get the money from the Ministry of Household Affairs It must be signed by two people, one from Ayu and one from His Highness.”
"no problem."
Qin Yin smiled happily, reached into her arms, and took out a dark blue pen.
"Wait a minute, Xiaoyin."
Lin Muyu said speechlessly: "If you sign with a pen, the Ministry of Finance may not recognize it."
"It doesn't matter, there is a jade seal."
"That's right, sign it."
After Qin Yin signed, Lin Muyu also signed his name, then took out the marshal's seal from the Qiankun bag and stamped it, and then handed it to Qin Yin.
After Qin Yin stamped the empress' seal, it was officially issued.
Chu Yao happily took the receipt, sat down again, took a sip of coffee, and couldn't help but frowning: "Wow, this tastes a bit weird."
Qin Yin smiled and said: "Yes, yes, I thought so at first, but then I felt better.
Sister Chuyao, this is a specialty of Ayu's hometown."
"From Ayu's hometown."
Chu Yao blinked, immediately took another sip, and said with a smile, "I like it.
I'll come here often in the future, okay?"
"sure."
At this moment, Feng Jixing also took a sip and couldn't help but spit it out: "Wow, why does it taste like this?"
Lin Muyu, Qin Yin, and Tang Xiaoxi stared at him.
"Ahem, the taste is actually quite unique."
Feng Jixing sneered.
During lunch, everyone still ate together in Lin Muyu's big tent.
Even the food for the Empress and the Marshal was not much better.
There was gruel, noodles and a pot of broth, and the meat was dried wild boar. , obscure and hard to swallow, everyone's face turned green after eating it, but this is military ration, there is nothing we can do about it.
There is never any good food in the army camp, and even dry food is very ridiculous.
The main dry food is flour cakes, or rice cakes after extrusion and sun-drying.
Once the army is marching in a hurry, the Linghuo Division will not be able to cook.
Usually it was just a matter of boiling some water and letting the soldiers soak the rice cakes, which was considered a meal.
In a life-and-death war, no one cares about whether they eat well or not.
They only care about whether they are full and whether they have strength.
In the afternoon there was a military meeting.
Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi were in charge, and Lin Muyu and Feng Jixing held a military meeting together.
The commanders of the major legions gathered one after another, Qin Yan, Tang Zhen, Chen Xiaoli, Xu Jiantao, Wei Qiu, Xiang Yu, Baili Cang, Qianfeng When everyone came, a huge long table was filled with senior generals on both sides, and the outside was heavily guarded.
These generals were too important, they were the core of the entire empire, and they must be strictly protected.
A coastal defense map composed of three huge paper rolls was spread on the long table, with small points marked on it, including the details of the Broken Cauldron Realm, the defenses on the coast of Tianji Continent, as well as all the islands in the East China Sea and even the northern continental shelf.
The generals looked solemn, and the atmosphere of an unprecedented war was invisible.
Everyone felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The opponent in this war was definitely not easy to deal with.
After all, the opponent's strength was more than twice that of his own.

"Marshal, when will we launch the attack?"
Everyone was silent, but Xiang Yu spoke up and said: "According to our preparations, we can go to sea and start the war three days ago."
"I know, wait a moment."
Lin Muyu pressed the handle of the sword on his waist, slowly walked behind the generals, came to the other end of the map, pointed at the Xishan Province, and said: "This battle is about That's the key."
"Xishan Province" Wei Qiu was stunned: "Your Excellency, you are talking about Baize mercenaries?"
"Um."
Lin Muyu nodded: "Baize Mercenary is a chess piece I left on Tianji Continent many years ago.
Now this chess piece has made Yang Shang sleepless and sleepless, so Yang Shang will definitely turn against Bai Ze Mercenary.
After all, he is lying on the bed Don’t tolerate others.”
Zhang Wei clenched his fists and said, "In my opinion, it's better to kill them directly and use Xishan Province as a springboard to destroy Yang Shang's army in one fell swoop."
Lin Muyu couldn't help laughing: "Lao Zhang is deliberately setting a negative example for us again."
Everyone laughed.
Zhang Wei was confused.
Lin Muyu continued: "First of all, Yang Shang's military strength is far superior to ours.
In addition, the armored cavalry of Tianji Continent are very powerful.
Their total number of cavalry is about half a million, plus more than a thousand dragon cavalry.
This is what they have advantages, and our advantages are magic crystal cannons and magic crystal crossbows, but once Once we land on Tianji Continent and fight them on land, the speed of the cavalry will be very critical.
With Chen Yu's assistance, I believe Yang Shang will also understand how to use the speed of the cavalry to defeat our heavy magic crystal cannon.
In a land war, we will definitely suffer losses, and we will suffer big losses."
Xiang Yu frowned and said, "Then what Lin Shuai means is a naval battle."
"That's right."
Lin Muyu raised his sword eyebrows and said with a smile: "Only by dragging Yang Shang's army into a naval battle can we have a chance of winning.
As far as I know, the navy of Yang Shang's army is very powerful, and their warships are enough to carry millions of troops into the sea. sea areas, Our Great Qin's building ships are the king of naval battles.
Coupled with the power of the magic crystal cannon, they are enough to deter opponents.
In addition, coupled with the Gonggong navy and the horseshoe legion of Bahuang Province under my control, we have at least 70% more The odds of winning.”
As he spoke, Lin Muyu pressed his hand heavily on the table, and said with sonorous force: "This battle aims to annihilate most of the effective forces of the Yang Shang Army, and to control the entire sea area in the hands of our Great Qin Empire.
Yang Shang’s troops are pressing down on Tianji Continent.
From now on, we can fight however we want.”
"The key is how to make Yang Shang underestimate the enemy and be willing to fight us decisively at sea," Feng Jixing said.
"This needs to be discussed in the long term."
Lin Muyu took a deep breath and said, "Baize's mercenaries are the key.
We'll wait until Sikong Yao comes.
As for the battlefield, I think it should be near here."
He pressed his palm lightly to somewhere on the map.
Tang Zhen frowned and murmured: "Changyuan Island":
