Chapter 0167 The sword points to Jeju Island

Although he knew everything about the Nu Jiao Gang, Yue Buqun still listened patiently to Cheng Buyou and said it highly and praised Cheng Buyou's foundation and the forces he developed in the past few years.

Yue Buqun looked around the simple decoration layout of Dinghai Hall and said sincerely: "The senior brother has worked hard for the past six years to lay the foundation for Mount Hua. He has made great contributions to the hard work and hundreds of disciples from Mount Hua to Mount Hua see it."

"It's just that uncle, he doesn't care about common affairs, but he also praised his senior brother's achievements, saying that he almost buried you, the Thousand Mile Horse in Huashan."

Cheng Buyou's face was blushed and said happily: "Don't dare to be a master's uncle, it is all the opportunities given by the leader, and he has determined the general policy. Buyou just acts according to the rules and is ashamed of not being able to take responsibility."

Yue Buqun shook his head and said, "It is easy to act according to the rules, but it is extremely difficult to do it well. There are only a few people who can do these four words at Mount Hua."

"And my senior brother is overseas, everything is a beginning, how can I summarize it by following the rules? How many things have never been seen before and have never been heard of. The senior brothers handled them in an orderly manner, and the disciples were extremely convinced."

Cheng Buyou said: "It's still more cooperation from my nephews. The things are done by my nephews. I don't dare to take this whole thing."

"After several years of training, my nephews have grown up and done their jobs very well. In a few years, this part can be completely left to them to take care of."

"Oh! By the way, the head of the sect, the newly established inspection department, I want to transfer someone back to assist."

Yue Buqun smiled and said, "Which kid is it? You have to pay attention to it by your senior brother."

Cheng Buyou said: "In this Angry Dragon Gang, several of the senior nephews are all talented as generals, especially the senior nephews of Yaohua and Baozhu, who can both stand alone. Their abilities are so strong that they are more than one level higher than those of us old men. In a few years, they will have more experience and any one can control this overseas affairs."

"I'm not greedy either, so I let Success go back to help me. This kid is steady and principled in doing things. The most important thing is that he has a very good way to do things. He can still stand alone in the inspection department for a few years."

Yue Buqun nodded and said, "It is his luck to be able to get the senior brother so seriously. So let him learn from his senior brother for a few more years and recall his success together this time."

"Senior brother, I will sort out the affairs of the Nu Jiao Gang in the past two days. Yi Lin should have a few days to arrive. After you hand over the handover with him, go back to the mountain first and take out the regulations of the inspection department first. I will discuss it with you after I return to the mountain."

Cheng Buyou said, "Okay." He did not mention things by himself.

Zhoushan Island has few hills and no big rivers, so Nutao helped build a large number of mountain ponds here.

Dinghaitang is backed by the mountain forest and facing the south of the town, and several ponds of different sizes have been built at the foot of the mountain beside the yard.

Yue Buqun had just attended the welcoming banquet hosted by Buyou. Seeing that it was still early, he called Li Yigen and took a walk by the pond at the foot of the mountain.

The terrain here is slightly higher, and Dinghai Town is fully visible. The sunset is setting and the smoke from cooking is curling, and the entire Dinghai Sea is filled with a peaceful atmosphere.

Yue Buqun looked at Dinghai with golden glow with satisfaction and said, "Yigen, well, you are going to grow roots here. You will go north in two days. Do you know the development of Donghaitang?"

Li Changgen said: "The head of the sect has already made it clear on the mountain. After handing over with the Lord Cao during this period, he realized that the scale of Donghai Hall was so huge, but to complete the sect's sect, Changgen still felt that his strength was insufficient."

Yue Buqun nodded and said, "The threat of pirates in the South China Sea is imminent. The distribution of this fleet is already the limit they can tolerate. You can only get so much support from the Angry Gang for the time being. Moreover, the twenty-eight warships are no longer weak."

Li Changgen smiled bitterly and said, "If we only maintain the purge on the original route, it turns out that fifteen warships plus dozens of small ships are enough, but the leader requires controlling all islands south of Jeju Island and Kyushu Island in Japan, and just twenty-eight warships are far from enough!"

Yue Buqun smiled lightly and said, "Now is a good time. There is no major force in this area. If we don't occupy it and fill in the immigration, soon the Japanese forces will spread here. The barrier to the east of our Ming Dynasty will become a chain that traps our hands and feet. Therefore, Jeju Island can be operated and penetrated slowly, but this chain of islands must be in our hands."

Li Changgen has seen the map made by Taihua Hall on the mountain, and also knows the importance of these island chains if the Han people want to go out to sea. He said: "Donghai Hall now has several stations such as Xiaoling Mountain, Liudao Mountain, Xiaochang Mountain, etc., which are too north and are not conducive to the conquest of the Ryukyu Islands. The best station is Jeju Island. With Jeju Island in hand, the north and south will be connected. There is no need to turn to Zhoushan again, and Donghai Hall can be integrated."

Yue Buqun nodded and said, "How did you think?"

Li Changgen thought about it and said, "I know that the leader is worried that the Ryukyu Islands will be controlled by the Japanese and even become a front position for Japanese pirates to harass our Ming coast. However, after several days of understanding, I found that Japan's infiltration of Little Ryukyu is not serious. Donghaitang can postpone this area slightly and fight Jeju Island with all its strength first."

"And during this period, we will vigorously develop northern immigration, consolidate the strength of Donghaitang, and establish northern shipyards, and no longer be restricted by the production capacity of Dinghai and Ryukyu. Only in this way can Donghaitang have the ability to achieve the goals set by the head."

Yue Buqun said: "Where did not take down Jeju Island and Xiao Liuqiu, Donghaitang come from land resettlement and immigrants?"

Li Changgen explained: "The dozens of islands that Donghaitang has controlled can accommodate tens of thousands of immigrants. With these tens of thousands of immigrants, the early manpower of Donghaitang is enough, and it can also solve some of the supply problems on the north-south route."

Yue Buqun frowned and said, "The imperial navy in Shandong depends on its strength. If such a large-scale immigration to sea, will it attract the attention of the imperial court and cause the imperial navy to be embarrassed with us."

Li Changgen smiled and said, "The Shandong Navy still has strength, but the navy generals have become completely corrupt and degenerate. As long as the operation is done properly, the Shandong Navy can still be used by Donghaitang."

"Baozhu made a suggestion that he would send someone to buy the warships of the Shandong Navy. Although these warships were old, they could still be used for more than ten or twenty years to repair them. On the one hand, it could weaken the strength of the Shandong Navy, and on the other hand, it could immediately increase the strength of the Donghaitang. Not only could the number of warships, but it could also recruit sailor soldiers without warships to supplement the shortage of Donghaitang sailors."

Yue Buqun said in surprise: "This imperial navy is so corrupt?"

Li Changgen sighed: "Yes! I can't believe it after seeing it, so I will go there in person this time, but I think that with Baozhu's personality, I can submit this suggestion. This is most likely the case."
