To the east of Jiuyuan County, at the junction of East China Sea and Beihai.
Huhu
The west wind was blowing fiercely from the north.
A small boat floats alone on the sea, swaying in the wind from time to time.
Ji Heitu's face turned pale on the fishing boat, and his hands were so tired that they were shaking uncontrollably.
well.
He was very regretful and couldn't help but confirm again.
"Lao He, do any of the three of you know how to summon windmills?"
There are other Yunchui fishing boats within sight. If both parties know how to use windmills, they can quickly send information back.
Lao He and the other two looked at each other and shook their heads silently.
They were also a little annoyed. Why didn't they try hard to learn the Pinyin literacy method from Taishifu?
To the point that now, when you want to deliver urgent news, you have no other choice but to convey it verbally and fire cloud-penetrating arrows.
However, oral communication requires close conversation between the two parties, and the Cloud-Piercing Arrow carries too little information, making it unsuitable at this time.
"Let's paddle. Even if we are exhausted, we must report the Japanese pirates' movements back to Jiuyuan County as soon as possible."
"yes!"
"That's right."
The four exhausted people stuffed something into their mouths, gritted their teeth and stood up.
They walked to the oar and shook it vigorously.
The next evening, a small boat quickly sailed towards the shore.
There was still a long way to go from the seaside, and someone on the boat shouted loudly.
"In case of emergency, please inform the Lord Lieutenant immediately."
The situation that Ji Heitu and the others found out quickly reached Mo Canghai.
"The Japanese pirates are divided into two groups. A small fleet came to attack Jiuyuan County. The main fleet has already gone north. The target is Beiguan Pass?"
Hold.
"How cunning." Mo Canghai's face was stern, he took a few steps to the map and took a deep look at it.
"Is the North Sea not frozen yet?" he asked.
"Sir, there is more or less ice on the sea at this time, but it will not affect the sailing for the time being."
Mo Canghai nodded.
The sea is not frozen yet, so you can go north and south freely. However, the three northern counties were already snowing heavily at this time, and the land routes were almost cut off.
He doesn't have a warship in his hands, so he can't support him now.
"Immediately spread the news to all places. Don't forget the Starfall Legion outside Beihaiguan. Please ask Captain Mo to send a message to Huang Shitao as soon as possible, asking him to pay attention to the attack at sea."
"Yes!" The messenger left in a hurry.
Under the orders of Emperor Changxing, the Xingluo Legion had indeed entered Baekje, but that was about combatants like Ren Ning.
In fact, there is a Starfall Legion logistics team near Beiguan, and under the leadership of Mo Dou, they are working hard to build new ships.
Beihai Customs, shipyard.
Mo Dou received the news quickly and was immediately shocked.
He quickly looked towards the North Sea ahead, but the sea was calm.
But Mo Dou was not surprised at all.
Moving a big ship is not easy. Now the northwest wind was blowing to the southeast, which greatly slowed down the speed of the ship.
The distance from Jiuyuan County to Tamaki County is not close, so it is normal to not see any Japanese warships on the Beihai Sea for the time being.
But calculating the time, even if the Japanese pirates have not arrived yet, they are not far behind.
After explaining some things, Mo Dou hurried into Beihai Customs.
After all, he was from the Starfall Legion. He soon met Beihai Guards Huang Shitao.

"The Japanese pirate fleet is coming towards our Beihai Customs?" Huang Shitao was dubious, "Is Captain Mo's news true?"
"The news comes from Lieutenant Mo of Jiuyuan County. It is definitely not false."
Huang Shitao knew Mo Canghai, and after thinking about it, he stood up and walked to the door.
He just opened the door.
Huhu
A biting cold wind rushed over, and Huang Shitao shivered and immediately didn't want to move.
He ordered his personal guards several times to go to the south to see the situation in the sea, and then sat down again with a smile.
"Captain Mo," Huang Shitao was very polite.
"Although you are from the Starfall Legion, you have always been a logistics personnel. I'm afraid you don't know that war pays attention to the right time, place, and people."
"Look, the weather is so bad today, and there are strong winds outside. It must be difficult to move on the Beihai Sea. And our Beihai Pass has been standing for hundreds of years. The Japanese pirates may attack Jiuyuan County, but they probably won't be stupid enough to hit the wall here. .”
"As for Mo Canghai," Huang Shitao pondered for a moment, "he is just a county lieutenant. I remember that he does not have large warships in his hands. The East China Sea is so vast, how could he discover the Japanese pirate fleet heading north with a small fishing boat?"
Even if they were discovered, it is estimated that these fishing boats would not be able to escape, let alone send the news back to Jiuyuan County.
Mo Dou quickly explained a few words.
However, Huang Shitao kept smiling like Maitreya Buddha. At a glance, he could tell that it was going in one ear and out the other.
Mo Dou had no choice but to change the topic.
"General Huang, there are thirty battle camp-class ships and nearly one hundred and twenty transport ships stationed near the shipyard. The battle camp class is almost full of personnel. But the other transport ships are not operated by anyone except some ordinary shipwrights."
"General, how about you arrange for a group of soldiers to board the ship?"
"As the saying goes, be prepared for a rainy day. If the Japanese pirates really come here, these ships can temporarily block them."
"That's okay." Huang Shitao nodded.
Mo Dou was a member of the Xingluo Legion, so he couldn't offend him too much. Anyway, it was the soldiers who felt the cold after getting on the boat, and Huang Shitao didn't care.
"How many people does Captain Mo need?"
Mo Dou pondered for a moment.
"Each transport ship is equivalent to a battle camp-level ship, but there are not many weapons on it, so it does not require too many manpower. Otherwise, let's equip it with 80 people at the battle camp level."
He looked at Huang Shitao's face and said, "Maybe 70% is fine."
The battle camp level has 70% or 80% manpower, and there are 120 ships?
Huang Shitao immediately became vigilant.
"Captain Mo, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."
"The biggest responsibility of the officers of Beihaiguan is to guard the Beiguan under me, not to work as a transport worker on the ship. If there are dozens or hundreds of people, I will just turn a blind eye and pretend that there is nothing." See. Now that you actually want so many people, I have no choice but to say sorry."
Having said this, he bowed his hands respectfully in the direction of Star City.
"I respect General Wei, and I will treat today's incident as if it never happened. But it is inevitable that walls have ears. If this news reaches His Majesty's ears, not to mention that I, even your General Wei, will be in trouble."
Mo Dou was speechless.
Huang Shitao didn't believe that the Japanese pirates would attack Beiguan, thinking that Wei Junqian wanted to mobilize his troops to do other things.

"General, you are overthinking."
Mo Dou had to explain again, his mouth was dry, but Huang Shitao didn't say a word, he just picked up the tea and drank it carefully.
This is obviously nothing to discuss.
Mo Dou was so worried that in the end he could only secretly shake his head and turn around to leave.
Returning to the shipyard, he immediately called his men.
"Pass my order to all shipbuilders and apprentices to immediately put down their work, pack some warm clothes and evacuate immediately."
By the way,,,..version. 】
He glanced at the map a few times and said, "Let's take shelter in Jinghu County first."
These technicians were few in number, only in their early 200s, and Wei Junqian had all been poached from Zhennanguan, thousands of miles away.
Even apprentices are all treasures and must not be killed or kidnapped by Japanese pirates.
The three northern counties are surrounded by a large quiet lake.
It is true that the Japanese pirates really took over the Beihai Pass and even endangered the entire north.
At that time, these shipbuilding masters can brave the heavy snow and head west to Yanhui County, or go south across the northern mountains to Jiuyuan County.
"yes!"
In the Starfall Legion, no one in the Starfall Army would hesitate and take action as long as the leader gave an order.
After Mo Dou finished ordering other things, he walked outside the door and looked at the densely packed ships on the sea ahead with a gloomy look on his face.
boom!
He suddenly punched the railing in front of him heavily.
These are all fine warships. As long as they are equipped with heavy crossbows and trebuchets, they can sail the sea.
However, because there is no one around, we can only stop here now.
If the Japanese pirates came here, so many good ships would probably be burned down or captured for their own use.
