Daming pirates

The families of these tenants who were chosen to stay are all in the village or in Tuwei. If the bandits come one day, the men of this group of tenants will definitely not be able to run away at any time. Their families will still be there.

Now, even if they did not risk their lives for the sake of their families, otherwise, if the stronghold was breached by bandits, their families would definitely be harmed, so from this perspective, Liu Butong did a good job indeed.

After these tenants were selected, they were assigned to Tuwei subdivisions and villages for resettlement by Liu BuTong. Their housing was very simple. Although ordinary mud houses and wooden houses were not laborious, they were relatively expensive.

At the same time, after winter, the thermal insulation effect is very poor.

So Liu BuTong made do with the ugliness and asked them to dig some earthen nests. The excavated soil was piled directly next to the earthen nests to form a low wall. On top, tree sticks without even the bark removed were used as beams and branches.

Use thick straw as rafters, leave an air hole for chimney ventilation, and then cover it with mud. Although it is very simple, it has good warmth retention in winter. Burn some firewood inside the house and make a mud nest.

It will be very warm inside.

The poor people don't have many clothes, and they don't have many cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold in winter. Living in earthen huts, at least they won't freeze to death or hurt anyone.

Although such conditions are simple enough, they are still quite satisfactory to these people who have had nothing to eat. At least they now have a shelter that can protect them from wind and rain, and they no longer have to move around.

Most of these tenants who have been taken in are refugees who have fled back from Liaodong and are barely struggling to survive here. Now that they can be taken in here and have work and food to eat, for them, it is

Compared with the previous place in Liaodong, it can be considered a paradise.

So of course Liu BuTong was regarded as a good person by these people. Everyone who stayed was grateful to Liu BuTong, treated him with respect, and worked very hard.

But Liu Butong looked outside the village and saw the refugees who had gathered here and refused to disperse. He felt very uncomfortable in his heart. These people had finally gathered here. They were a rare human resource for Sea Wolf, but right now

But he couldn't gather all these people and transport them out.

Because so far, there has not been complete chaos in Denglai and other places. Although many people have eaten this meal without eating, the time has not yet come to deceive them. In addition, at this time, we start to gather them and transfer them.

, will definitely attract the attention of the government, and there is no guarantee that interested people will not discover his bad intentions, or his purpose may be exposed in advance.

Therefore, although many hungry people have gathered near Xishan Village, he does not dare to act rashly. He can only try his best to accommodate more people here in the name of recruiting tenants, but the number cannot be too large.

But he always felt a pity to see these hungry people disperse like this, but seeing that the village walls and earthen fences were gradually being completed, it seemed that there was no reason to keep these people.

Liu Butong thought about it, but couldn't think of a good way, so he had to let people set up a big pot to cook some porridge outside the village. He served two meals a day.

The people he feeds porridge can maintain their lives for now, but if they are not satisfied with the people who only eat porridge twice a day, then they can only be sent away first.

Just when Liu BuTong was having a headache about this matter, a man who was younger than him quietly walked up behind him and said to him: "Outside of Yuan Liu, there is news from Guan Ning that Jiannu has sent troops south again."

, the slave-building army surrounded Dalinghe City, and Marshal Zu was besieged in Dalinghe City. News also came back from Dengzhou City, saying that Lord Sun, the governor of Denglai, first sent the navy to sea and tried to go to Guanning.

We went to help, but there were strong winds at sea a few days ago and the navy fleet failed to arrive, so we had to return to Dengzhou Shuicheng.

Now Lord Sun has sent the old Liaodong generals, and the current general Kong Youde has led 800 Liaodong elite cavalry overland to Daling River City for reinforcements, but I wonder if Jiannu can enter the pass again this time!

I really don’t understand why our lord, who is far away in Fujian, could predict that there would be chaos in Denglai! But we have been here for so long, but we haven’t seen anything big happen!”

After Liu BuTong heard this, his heart suddenly moved. He suddenly remembered that before he set off from Fujian, Yu Xiaotian personally summoned them and specifically told them to be careful and pay special attention here.

The old Dongjiang tribe on the Denglai side seems to specifically mention Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others.

And at that time, Yu Xiaotian seemed to have specifically mentioned that these people might be the cause of the Denglai chaos. However, some time ago, these old Dongjiang tribes basically stayed in Dengzhou City and did not go out much.

.

Therefore, although the relationship between the old Dongjiang troops and these Liaodong and Shandong soldiers and generals was tense, they were limited to small-scale conflicts and frictions. With Sun Yuanhua on top, nothing major happened.

But this time Jiannu went south again to attack Dalinghe City. Sun Yuanhua finally began to mobilize the army, and this time he sent the old Dongjiang general Kong Youde to lead the army. Is it possible that Yu Xiaozhen was extremely capable and could predict this?

Something?

Nowadays, as a member of the Sea Wolf, the Sea Wolf tribe regards Yu Xiaotian as a god. They blindly believe in almost everything Yu Xiaotian says, and few people question Yu Xiaotian's arrangements.

This time they were suddenly sent to set up positions in Denglai area. Although they didn't know exactly what Yu Xiaotian wanted them to do, but since they were asked to come, it would definitely be useful and they wouldn't let them spend so much money here in vain.

.

Yu Xiaotian said at the time that Denglai might cause a big mess this year, and letting them come here first was to pave the way for the next possible move.

Thinking of this, Liu BuTong turned to look at the young man who came to report to him, and said with a solemn expression: "Xiao Wu, don't doubt the lord's purpose. Since the lord asked us to come here in advance, we will never do it without aim!

We just need to do our part well. You can go to Dengzhou Prefecture in person and keep an eye on the situation there. If anything happens, report back as soon as possible!

I don’t know why, but I have a hunch that maybe it’s just as my lord expected, and there’s going to be big trouble in Denglai and other places this time!”

The young man known as Xiaowu blushed and quickly explained: "How dare you doubt the master's arrangement? I just feel that nothing major has happened since we have been here for so long, so I feel a little anxious!"

Since the lieutenant said so, I will immediately go to Dengzhou Mansion to keep an eye on the young man! If anything happens, I will immediately send someone back to report it!"

"Go! You go down and ask Li Fu to come over! I have something to ask him! Remember, don't call me lieutenant here again in the future, just call me Yuanwai or master! Otherwise, if someone listens to you, you won't be able to do anything.

It will cause trouble!" Liu BuTong waved his hand.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu quickly nodded in agreement, turned around and walked quickly down the village wall. After a while, a strong, dark-faced, short-skinned man walked up quickly from under the village wall.

.

Liu BuTong looked around and saw that there were no other people waiting around. They were all his own people coming from Sea Wolf, so he raised his hand to stop the short and thick man, saluted him, and asked directly: "Futong, you don't want to

Duo Li, this is not our land in Fujian, please be more careful in the future!"

This Li Futong was used to saluting Liu BuTong. After hearing this, he quickly stopped his habit and said with a dry smile: "People say that we are stupid when we become soldiers. Isn't this a habit? I almost did it again."

Forgot!"

"I asked you to come here because I want to ask you how our weapons preparations are going!" Liu BuTong didn't say anything more and asked him directly.

Li Futong quickly replied: "When I came here this time, I brought a platoon with a total of fifty brothers. There were fifty Wolf Fang rifles shipped with the ship. They were all the latest fines issued by the Logistics Department.

Made of steel!

In addition, there were 400 spear heads shipped with the ship, but they did not come with barrels. We need to equip them with barrels here and we can use them.

In addition to the gun heads, there are 200 standard one-handed knives, 200 pairs of standard shields, 50 sets of bag armor, 50 bows, 20 crossbows, and five boxes of arrow clusters, which is about 10,000.

But we have to make our own arrow shafts here! However, a hand-operated round rod machine and an animal-powered circular saw were delivered with the ship. As long as you want to do it, you can do it right away!

By the way, this time I also brought two twelve-pound cannons and one hundred rounds of shells, including twenty shells and eighty solid shells. As for the cannonballs, I didn’t bring them, but if necessary, just throw some stones

They can all be used! It’s very powerful at close range, but I didn’t open it out of the box for fear of being seen by others, so I stored it in the mansion first!”

Liu BuTong stroked the beard on his chin, shook his head and said: "Swords and guns come second. The current quantity should be enough. Bows and arrows are also OK, but there are too few rifles and cannons! If there is a big problem, with these fifty

A rifle, even with two twelve-pound cannons, I'm afraid it won't be able to hold up the large number of people! The area we have to guard is really too wide. In addition to Xishan Village, there is also the earthen fence of Yangma Island. There are not enough manpower.

!”

Li Futong is the platoon leader of the infantry platoon sent by Lin Yiyang with the ship this time. He has the rank of second lieutenant, one level lower than Liu BuTong. He was sent here this time and was responsible for consolidating Xishan Village and Xishan Village here under the leadership of Liu BuTong.

Defense of Yangma Island.

After hearing Liu BuTong's worries, Li Futong seemed a little disapproving and said: "In my opinion, it's almost done. Let's bring the dozen brothers you brought here earlier. There are more than sixty experts in total. Six

There are more than a dozen wolf fang rifles, even if there are hundreds of bandits, they can't stop us from firing several rounds. What's more, there are two twelve-pound cannons. Who dares to cause trouble for us?

As long as they dare to come, we dare to tell them to come upright and go out horizontally! Hehe!"
