The place of Pi Island is limited, although it is safe, it cannot accommodate too many people. Therefore, under the rule of Dongjiang Town, Shicheng Island, Changshan Island, Zhanzi Island, and Guanglu Island, many Liaodong, which escaped from the slave thieves' territory.

People.

These islands are all under the jurisdiction of Dongjiang Town, and the guards on the island are also from Dongjiang Town.

"Actually, we can divide our troops to deal with Shicheng Island and Wangjiashan Island at the same time." Zheng Chao used two fingers to push up the chart, pointing his fingertips to these two islands.

Zhao Wu shook his head and said, "There is no need to take this risk. We won't waste much time by taking down one island after another."

"Shicheng Island is very close to Wangjiashan Island and Changshan Islands. Once troops are used against Shicheng Island, they may be discovered by the Ming army on other islands." Zheng Chao said.

Zhao Wu looked at Zheng Chao and said with a smile: "My warriors only attack the Ming army on each island. As for how to block the Ming army reinforcements on other islands, that is your Zheng Yingzheng's business."

The connection between islands can only be achieved through ships.

"What I am worried about is not the reinforcements from several islands around, but the news that we are taking action against Shicheng Island will be spread, and the Dengzhou Navy will be dispatched. At that time, I may spend a lot of my energy on dealing with the Dengzhou Navy. It will be difficult.

Support you.”

Zhao Wu said: "Your fleet only needs to stop reinforcements from other areas, and hand them over to me by the defenders on the island. And it is not that there is another fleet that will come. It will be easier to wait for another fleet to come."

"The other fleet will not be able to arrive long before it can arrive, otherwise the only thing you have to do is to occupy these islands after occupying these islands."

As he said that, he drew a circle on an island on the chart.

There are many islands, and these islands are large and small. They cannot be completely like Kashima, leaving only one squadron to guard them.

Like Shicheng Island, Guanglu Island, and Changshan Island, these large areas are relatively large and suitable for survival, there must be at least two to three thousand-person teams on the islands.

This is just this island, and its main target, Lushun, is not included. Moreover, because Lushun is on land, it has a larger area and a larger population, so it naturally requires more troops.

"I have thought about what you said. I'm afraid the little soldiers and horses under my command are not enough." Zhao Wu pursed his lips and said, "I plan to keep all the captured Ming troops, as long as I am willing to join us,

You can join in directly and continue to do the errand of guarding the island. I left a small number of troops to manage them. After taking over Lushun, I trained and picked these people, stayed the right ones, and sent them to farm if they were not suitable.

, In this way, not only can the troops be expanded, but also free up manpower."

Zheng Chao's eyes looked back and forth on Zhao Wu's face as if he wanted to see through.

"What? Do you think this method is not working?" Zhao Wu asked.

Zheng Chao shook his head and said, "It's great. I'm worthy of being with the lord for many years. Your actions have even arranged in advance for future expansion."

"I also thought that in the future, we will definitely expand our troops. Since we will expand our troops sooner or later, these Ming troops stationed on the island will be the most suitable." Zhao Wu said a little embarrassedly.

When Dongjiang Town was first established, it relied on the people of Liaodong who escaped from the area ruled by slave thieves.

Most of the men who could escape to Dongjiang Town alive were strong men. Even if there were old and young men in the family, most of them were young men, otherwise they would not be able to escape all the way.

Dongjiang Town selected these young men and selected some men with better health to fill the army of Dongjiang Town, so these island defenders are the most suitable sources of troops.

"No wonder you asked your subordinates to take away some of the Ming army prisoners when you were on Kashima and leave some of the Ming army prisoners on the island. It turns out that you had this plan from the beginning." Zheng Chao, who reacted, looked at Zhao Wu.

Said.

Zhao Wu did not defend himself and said directly: "There are too many prisoners left. I am afraid that our defenders on the island will not be able to suppress them, so I will take away some of the prisoners. Next, I plan to do this every time I take down an island.

, and switch the captured Ming army to other islands so that our people can control it."

"You took down all Changshan Islands and several surrounding islands. One of your war barracks may be able to double directly and become two war barracks. If you take down Lushun, your battalion will be just right.

He became a teacher directly.” Zheng Chao said teasingly.

There are always five or six thousand troops garrisoned on these islands in Dongjiang Town. There are hundreds of defenders on one island in one island, not to mention those large islands.

People live on large islands such as Changshan Island and Guanglu Island, and there are only more Ming troops stationed in it, and it is not uncommon to build a pier.

The fleet of tiger flags appeared in the waters near Shicheng Island.

Shicheng Island is a large island where people live on it. In addition to farming, people usually fish near the coast to make a living.

The tall hull of Garen's ship appeared from afar and was immediately discovered by the people fishing near the shore.

At first, the people thought it was a ship sent by Dengzhou, but as the fleet on the sea got closer and closer to Shicheng Island, some people found something was wrong.

"The slave thief is here! The slave thief is here!"

The first thought of the people was that slave thieves on the land came to attack Shicheng Island.

Because this is not the first time that a slave thief attacked Shicheng Island.

As for the tiger flag on Pi Island, the people did not think so much. In the hearts of the people, slave thieves are their biggest enemy, because slave thieves stole their wealth and killed all their sisters. What the people hate the most is

Slave thief.

Some people took the lead in running to the island, but the other people didn't care about continuing to catch fish and shrimps, and fled to the island. Some small boats on the coast, and the people on the boat also rowed on the shore with force.

The chaotic people quickly attracted the attention of the defenders on the island.

A hundred households in the defenders stopped a commoner who fled to the island. When they learned that the slave thieves were attacking, they saw a large ship appearing on the sea, and immediately ran back to report.

A pier was built on Shicheng Island.

The pier is not big, and all the defenders on the island are living in it, so the people are not qualified to move in.

Baihu ran into Dunbao and found Sun Youming, who was in charge of the general's mansion.

"The general has something big, the slave thief has come and sent a giant ship." When Baihu saw Sun Youming, he hurriedly informed the other party of the news he had found.

Like those people who fled to the island, he also believed that the attack was a slave thief.

"Impossible, how could a slave thief have a giant ship? I have never received any news." Sun Youming's first reaction was that he didn't believe it.

He knew very well what the slave thief was like on the sea. It was still possible that the slave thief could get several small boats and deck boats, but he would not believe it at all if it was said that the slave thief owned a giant ship.
