Kong Yinfan finally obeyed his daughter's wishes.
It's not that he wants his daughter to marry a rebel, but that there is no other way to choose. Regardless of whether he wants his daughter to marry a rebel, it has become a foregone conclusion.
After all, the Kong family in Qufu no longer has a place for their family.
The town of Datong welcomed the daughter of the Kong family. At the same time, Pidao, far away in Liaodong, also welcomed an important figure.
"It's good that you're here. I can concentrate on staying on Jeju Island from now on." Xing Chaoxi, who was stationed on Pi Island, picked up Zhao Wu who came from Datong to the island.
The pier on Pi Island was newly built after the occupation of Huzi Banner, and it is much wider than before.
Soldiers have been patrolling the area for a long time, and a watchtower has been set up two to three hundred steps away from the dock, with soldiers on sentry duty on top.
The soldiers on the watchtower can have a clear view of the situation on the sea.
"How many soldiers and horses are there on the island now?" Zhao Wu asked Xing Chaoxi beside him.
From now on, he will stay on Pi Dao to maintain his position, and all the soldiers and horses on the island will be his subordinates, so he will naturally care about the situation of his subordinates.
Xing Chaoxi said as he walked to the island: "Because the island is not suitable for keeping a large number of people, there is currently only one military camp stationed on the island. The supplies on the island are mainly transported by ships, basically every two months. A provision."
"It took so long to come here?" Zhao Wu frowned subconsciously.
There is no big problem in storing grain for two months, but it is difficult to store vegetables and other non-staple foods for such a long time.
Xing Chaoxi was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he explained to him: "The supplies for Pi Island need to be transported from Jeju Island. It would be a waste of ship power if we only come here every few days."
"How to solve life on the island? You can't just eat food. You must eat other vegetables and meat together with the food." Zhao Wu said.
Tiger Character Banner has requirements for the food of the soldiers. Even if he has been working with Liu Heng, he has learned about the soldiers' daily meals. After all, there are soldiers stationed in Datong Town.
After hearing this, Xing Chaoxi raised his hand and pointed in the distance, and said: "Pi Island cannot carry a large population, but it can still provide food for thousands of people. There are cultivated vegetable fields there, and we can usually eat them." You can fish and eat shrimps from the sea, and in order to ensure sufficient meat, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep are raised on the island. Although the number is not large, it is enough for the garrison on the island."
"I didn't expect everything on the island to be so complete. I thought everything on the island needs to be supplied from other places." Zhao Wu's tone became more relaxed.
The island can be self-sufficient. As the island's camp commander, the burden on his shoulders can be relaxed a lot.
Xing Chaoxi explained: "Before we took Pi Island, this was Mao Wenlong's hometown. Many people lived on the island. In order to survive, the people cultivated a lot of fields. However, Pi Island is not suitable for housing a large number of people. It was the front line facing the slave thieves again, so the people on the island were sent to Jeju Island and Daemang Island, leaving only the garrison on Phi Island."
"Have slave thieves ever invaded Pi Island?" Zhao Wu asked.
Xing Chaoxi smiled when he heard this and said: "When we first took Pi Island, slave thieves came to attack Pi Island and lost a lot of slave soldiers and a Baile named Azig. Later, the slaves The thieves have also learned their lesson and no longer come to invade Pidao. They only station troops in Zhenjiang to guard against us."
"I also heard about this battle in Datong. You fought beautifully." Zhao Wu gave a thumbs up.
Hearing this, Xing Chaoxi grinned and said, "Actually, that battle was about adults bullying children. The slaves didn't even have a decent boat. As long as they got into the water, they were like lambs on the eucalyptus board. They couldn't even fight back even after being beaten."
"You can't say that. The Ming army also has a navy. It's better not to be bullied by the slaves and thieves. The good Juehua Island Navy was completely destroyed by the slaves and thieves." Zhao Wu said something for his own navy.
After following my lord for so many years, I understand that no matter how good a weapon is, it can only be effective if it is in the hands of the right person.
"Forget about the Ming army. If they can deal with the slave thieves, they won't lose the Shenyang central defender and can only huddle on the front line of Ningyuan." Speaking of the Ming army, Xing Chaoxi curled his lips disdainfully.
It's not that he looks down on the Ming army, it's that the Ming army is too useless.
Having fought against the slave thieves, he knew that the slave thieves were not as powerful as the Ming army's rumors said.
Zhao Wu nodded in agreement.
If the Ming army is really powerful, their Tiger Character Banner cannot occupy the territory of three provinces. If the lord is not willing to continue to use troops after taking Henan, otherwise there will be no problem in taking one or two provinces.
"Where's the navy? I saw a lot of warships parked near the dock. Are they also under the control of Pidao?" Zhao Wu asked.
Hearing this, Xing Chaoxi said: "The navy is not under our control. The task of our garrison is only to control the military barracks in our hands. The navy is under the command of Zheng Chao. Every time it is raised, the navy also has a share, as well as the livestock on the island. There’s also the navy’s share.”
"Is Zheng Chao on the island?" Zhao Wu asked.
Xing Chaoxi shook his head and said: "Zheng Chao has gone to Da Yuan Island with the commander. If you want to see the commander and them, I'm afraid you have to wait for some time. But Staff Yan is in Jeju Island. If you want to see him, I will go back to Jeju Island to cover it for you." Send a message."
"No, I'll see you sooner or later. There's no rush." Zhao Wu said.
Now that he has become Zheng Tie's subordinate, he knows that he will have a chance to meet all the generals from Damuan Island sooner or later, especially because of his relationship with Zheng Tie, Zheng Tie will definitely come to Pi Island to see him.
"Let's go to the island first and see the accommodation I prepared for you. Let's have dinner together in the evening. I'll take you to meet several thousand-man captains and the generals from the navy to get familiar with each other before taking over the island. For a moment." Xing Chaoxi took Zhao Wu to the island.
There is a housing area on the island.
This was originally a residence prepared by Mao Wenlong and other Ming army generals. After the Tiger Character Banner occupied Pi Island, it was expanded and transformed into a military camp based on the original structure.
One month after arriving on Pi Island, Zhao Wu became familiar with various affairs on the island.
Although he came here by air, he had learned a lot from following Liu Heng for so many years. In addition, he was close to the commander Zheng Tie, so the officers stationed on Pi Island did not deliberately create difficulties.
Soon, he adapted to life on the island.
There are no ordinary people encumbering Phi Island, and there are not as many troops stationed on Phi Island as there were during Mao Wenlong's period. The island has been able to achieve self-sufficiency.
However, there are too many pot-bellied people on the island, and there is no food grown on the island. All food needs to be transported from other places by sea ships.
As long as food is stored properly, it is a storable thing and can be eaten for a long time after being transported once. Therefore, every ship sent to the sea for support not only prepares food, but also prepares ordnance and frequently consumed gunpowder and other items.
Even sometimes fortresses were built, and civilian supplies such as bricks were transported by sea ships.
