(On the last day of November, the first alliance finally appeared in this book: Jiexi!! Very happy! There is Fengqi Wutong 626, so strong! Upgrade one level every day, congratulations to the elder!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Tianbo Division fleet set out from Huang Tiandang, headed eastward, passed through Runzhou, Changzhou, Suzhou, and Xiuzhou. Finally, it went out to sea through Chongming Island. It traveled 200 miles southward and reached the target island. The whole journey was more than 600 miles. It was smooth sailing and could reach it in seven days.

When the fleet arrived at the entrance of Chongming Island, it happened to meet the Longxu fleet that had received the military order and evacuated from Kuotou Lake. The Tianbo Navy had a total of 4,000 people and ships, and finally met. The joy and thunderous sounds and headed towards the Shengsi Islands.

Most of the Tianbo Navy ships are flat-bottomed river ships, and they are not suitable to go out to sea from afar. Fortunately, there are many islands near the coast of Liangzhe and do not need to sail into the deep sea, so the river ships can basically cope with it.

There are wind and waves on the sea. Most of the officers and soldiers of the Tianbo Navy have only been in the martial arts world, but this is the first time they go out to sea. Fortunately, they are naval soldiers after all, and they can still bear the bigger storms. Only the thousands of prisoners of Jin soldiers were spitting out of thin air and limply on the ground, without any binding, so they couldn't even run away.

What Zhang Rong and his generals were most worried about was their military commander. They remembered that the military commander was a tiger in the mountains, and when they arrived at the sea... Soon, the generals Zhang Rong and others found that they were worried in vain. The military commander acted calmly and naturally than any of them, and even felt like they were in water.

When you go up the mountain, you are a tiger, and when you go down the sea, you are a dragon, the military commander, the divine general—the generals of the Tianbo Division can only sigh so much.

The long fleet of Tianbo Navy traveled south along the coastline. The states along the way were invaded by the deep invasion of Wushu Army, and the troops of the states were dispersed and defended from the desolation. Seeing such a huge fleet, they could only stare at it and dare not move at all.

After walking forward for two days, I finally arrived at my destination.

When the island appeared in front of me, the soldiers garrisoned on the island rowed out to greet me, the soldiers of the Tianbo Navy cheered and cheered - but they were happier than them. Even though they cried with joy, three thousand prisoners of war...

The waves slash at the reefs, the seagulls swept through the sky, and the peaks appeared and the beach was long.

This is an island with an area of ​​about two square kilometers. There are rolling peaks, several pools of water, deep and wide caves, and newly built rows of barracks. To the south of the island is a flat mudflat, and to the north of the island is a deep-water port... It can be said that in addition to the smaller area, this island fully meets the conditions of being an overseas military base.

Di Lie is quite familiar with the distribution of coastal islands in China, and the offshore areas of Liangzhe area are also easier to identify because of the numerous islands. Judging from the navigation direction, the distance to the coastline, and the distribution of islands along the way, this island should be between the Shengsi Islands and the Zhoushan Islands in later generations.

If the deserted island lasts for another 30 or 50 years, with the prosperity of the Southern Song Dynasty's maritime trade in history, it will sooner or later be discovered and occupied. However, at the junction of the two Song dynasties, this island is still deserted, and Tianbo Master is the first to take action.

Di Lie spent two days searching the entire island and expressed satisfaction with Zhang Rong's vision.

The next step was to transfer more than 300 ships of wealth, more than 200 ships of rice, grain, military, horses, cattle, sheep and livestock into the cave. The three thousand prisoners naturally could not be raised in vain and would not be allowed to be porters. Most of the Jin soldiers were northerners, and half of their lives had been lost on the sea. They had to do this heavy physical work before they recovered. In addition, they were seriously unacceptable to the soil and water, and they fell ill one after another. By the time all the materials were transferred, more than 100 people had died of acute illness, and there were no less than 300 people who were seriously ill.

Di Lie ordered all the prisoners of illness to be driven into a cave, and military doctors would come to treat each day. This kind of situation of being unacceptable to the local environment basically depends on the individual's own resistance. If you can't bear it, you will die.

The soldiers of the Tianbo Division naturally lived in barracks. However, when the island facilities were built, even Zhang Rong and Long Xu did not expect that there would be thousands of people living there, so the barracks were naturally not enough. They had to let some soldiers live in caves and then build new barracks urgently.

There was no stop at the port at all, so I had to hang all the small boats to both sides of the big boat. Except for leaving three spare warships, the other large boats were hung with full sides. Even so, nearly two hundred small boats could not enter the port. In the end, a veteran stationed here suggested that the remaining ships be transferred to several smaller islands nearby. These small islands were deserted islands, and occasionally fishermen and merchant ships docked. However, during the last season of this voyage, there was basically no need to worry about encountering docked merchant ships.

In ancient times, most of the business trips in the sea were chosen in autumn and winter (usually from November to February of the following year). During this period, the north wind was blowing, which was conducive to navigation.

It was early February when Di Lie's fleet landed on the island. At this time, the commercial voyages in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian were about to end, so naturally they would encounter merchant ships.

Di Lie immediately adopted this suggestion and moored the ships in a scattered manner, and finally solved the problem of ships docking. After working for several days, the four thousand army was settled.

Since all the food and grass of Wushu army were seized, the total number of soldiers and prisoners of Tianbo division was more than 6,000, so there was basically no need to worry about food. Wushu's food and grass were prepared for the 50,000 army for more than half a month, and more than 6,000 people could last for two or three months.

However, Liangshan people are always used to relying on the mountains to eat and relying on the water to eat. Now, Liang Ashui and Yan Qilang took a few boats in the area of ​​interest, went out to sea to catch fish and shrimp every day, and went to improve their food.

As February begins, the sea breeze is already warm. In the largest house in the southwest of the island, which is made of stones as a conference hall, the leaders of Tianbo Division: Di Lie, Zhang Rong, Meng Wei, Zheng Wo, Long Xu, and Yan Qilang are all here, but Liang Ashui has not come back when he goes out to fish.

The generals gathered to discuss matters and mainly discussed the next plan.

Zheng Wo and Long Xu, the two chiefs of staff, proposed a more conservative strategy in order to ensure the comprehensive security of the military leader. They agreed that they could wait for two months, and the summer season came into summer and winter, and they would naturally retreat to Hebei and return to Liangshan at that time. Then they sent heavy troops to escort the military leader to Chang'an.

Zhang Rong felt bored here for two months. Apart from fishing and shrimping, he would not do anything, and he wasted his troops. Especially the group of prisoners, who could not kill, and he left behind fermi food, so it would be better to take the prisoners back to the Yangtze River and launch a strong attack on the Taizhou Jin army. It can not only deter and weaken Wanyan Chang's troops, but also consume these prisoners, which can be said to be a kill of two birds with one stone. The army leader just needs to live on this island and wait for good news. It does not affect safety.

It should be said that both strategies make sense, the former is more conservative, while the latter is more positive, depending on how Di Lie chooses.

Under the expectant gaze of the generals, Di Lie calculated the date secretly and said slowly: "Teacher Zhang's plan is good..."

Long Xu said anxiously: "Military Master. It's nothing that these prisoners are imprisoned on the island. Once taken back to the land, they may leak our hiding place."

Di Lie made a quiet gesture and said, "Even if Wanyan Chang knew that I was here, what can I do? The sea is not as good as land, without direction or path, even the Song army's naval army may not be able to find this place, let alone the group of land ducks in the north. Besides, without enough large ships, no matter how many soldiers there are, it is difficult to go out to sea, and landing is even more difficult. If the Jin army really dares to come, I am just asking for it."

All the generals thought carefully and nodded frequently, all acknowledged this. Long Xu's thinking has not yet been able to jump out of the rut of fighting in the mountains and rivers, so it is not surprising that he has such concerns. In this regard, naval warfare is a blank for any army of this era.

Di Lie continued: "Teacher Zhang's plan is good, but the time has not arrived yet. The next action policy for our division is to send reconnaissance ships to return to the Yangtze River, monitor the movements of the Jin army in Taizhou, and collect information. If I guess it is good, the situation in the Central Plains will have great changes until March at the latest. Then, it will be the best time for us to counterattack."

Zheng Wo smiled and said, "Since the military leader is confident, then it's decided. I'll wait for the fighter plane."

This time, even Zhang Rong no longer insisted, and Meng Wei and Yan Qilang, who were originally neutral, naturally nodded in agreement.

After discussing serious military affairs, the generals' expressions became relaxed. They laughed at the various strange things they saw on the island these days, and guessed what Liang Ashui would get today.

Long Xu seemed to remember something and saluted Di Lie and said, "Military Master, there is no island name yet, so how about asking the military master to give it?"

All the generals said yes, Di Lie smiled and said, "Do you want to name the deserted island? I really like to do this, huh... what's the name..."

The generals of Tianbo were listening to the military commander's announcement of the name of the new island, and suddenly, a sudden clinking bell rang - this was the alarm bell from the bell tower on the island!

Di Lie and the generals stood up, and the sound of rapid footsteps came from the stone steps outside the hall. A soldier with a sweat all over ran to the hall to kneel down and reported: "I followed the commander Liang to go out to sea to fish. I encountered a Jin ship. Our army's ships are many but small, but the Jin people are big ships. Commander Liang has entangled the enemy ship and ordered his subordinates to return and ask for help."

Everyone was surprised, and Zheng Wo said in surprise: "At this time, where did the golden man come out of this place?"

Zheng Wo's words were also the question of Zhang Rong and others.

Di Lie waved his hand: "You'll understand when you go and take a look!"

Lead all the generals out in a row and summoned the soldiers to board the ship urgently.

There are only three spare warships in the port north of the island that can be used instantly, and the rest of the ships are full of burdens. It is reported that there is only one enemy ship, and the Tianbo Division dispatched three ships, and with the elite soldiers and powerful generals, they should be able to seize the opponent.

When the warship set off, red clouds rolled in the sky and waves surged sharply. Depending on the situation, it seemed that there would be a sea storm.

Liang Ashui went out to sea to fish, so he naturally didn't go far. He usually was within sight of the island, but just now he continued to go deeper in order to chase the enemy ships. At this time, it was more than ten miles away from the island.

According to the instructions of the sergeant, three warships of Tianbo Division discovered Liang Ashui's three small sampans in the water twenty miles southwest of the island, and were dealing with an enemy ship that was almost the same level as the warship of Tianbo Division.

Liang Ashui brought five small sampans to sea, one of which returned to the island to report the news, and there should be four sampans left, but now only three were seen. It is obvious that one sampan was hit or sunk.

When the three warships of the Bo Division arrived that day, the enemy ship was catching up with them and wanted to hit the next sampan. Suddenly, they saw reinforcements. Seeing that the situation was not good, they immediately turned around and wanted to escape.

Although this enemy ship is not low in level and has many sails, it has two obvious defects: one is that the ship seems to have been attacked, the hull is obviously damaged, the sail patch marks are clear, and the handwork is not very good, and there are gaps and air leakage, which greatly affects the speed of the ship; the other is that if a large warship is large, there are very few people on the ship. From a distance, there are only 20 or 30 people, and the ship workers operating the ship are less than ten. A warship like this requires at least 30 boat workers to operate normally - this is also the reason why Liang Ashui can deal with it for so long with just four small sampans.

How could such a broken and severely shortage ship escape the pursuit and encirclement of three warships of the same level? After less than half an hour of pursuit, it was chased by two warships commanded by Zhang Rong and Meng Wei. A roulette of guns was swept by, and the enemy ship workers screamed and fell into the water. Ten ship workers were either dead or injured, and the enemy ship was immediately paralyzed.

The warship commanded by Di Lie was picking Liang Ashui and a group of soldiers on board and inquiring about the casualties. Fortunately, the moment the ship was overturned, the soldiers dived in time, except for one person's fracture and two people's flesh and blood scratches, there was nothing serious.

As soon as Liang Ashui got on the boat, he shouted angrily: "These thieves bullied me without muskets, and they rushed around with the ship... If I ride a siege, I will definitely sink it!"

Di Lie laughed: "Liang Ashui, you can even meet the Jin people when you go out to sea to fish. Your luck is not too good!"

Liang Ashui grinned.

While speaking, Di Lie's warship also surrounded. The three warships were horn-shaped, clamping the enemy ships firmly. The Jin soldiers on the ship had no choice but to surrender.

Yue Yun held a large iron horn in his hand and used half-baked Jurchen to shout to the enemy ship "Surrender immediately, otherwise kill him."

Surprisingly, the commander of the Jin army replied in Song language: "If I surrender, your army may not be able tolerate me!"

While speaking, a general stepped out of the cabin. The golden lion had a wide nose and a curly beard on his face. Kong Wu was powerful. The most eye-catching thing was that he was wearing an eye mask in his left eye.

Di Lie couldn't help laughing. It was really hard to turn around, and the old enemies met again.
