    Wang Feng's group has a total of eight ships, including sailors, with a total of more than 800 ships, but most of them are technicians and migrant workers.  .:.  Of course, there are also more than 170 people below Cai Houde who have fought in the Kra Isthmus. In addition, the ships are equipped with firearms that are beneficial to naval battles. These are powerful credentials for long-distance sea voyages.

    Cai Houde's nearly two hundred soldiers naturally carry weapons with them. However, they are not equipped with Type 90 Mao rifles. They are all equipped with shotguns. Of course, shotguns have also become one of the most powerful weapons in this time and space.  In addition, meteor bombs are the traditional strength of Wang Feng's manufacturing. Of course, there is no shortage of meteor bombs on the ship. Not only is there no shortage, there is also an enhanced version of the meteor bomb that is said to be suitable for warships, plus Wang Feng's version of grenades.  , the value of force cannot be underestimated.  Therefore, if the fleet faces ordinary pirates, it goes without saying that it can definitely kill them instantly.

    Therefore, when the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces detected that such a fleet was coming for reinforcements, they immediately chose to run away. This was completely a wise move.

    After Wang Feng¡¯s force came to Ulleung Island, although the situation improved greatly, everyone did not dare to neglect and immediately prepared for war with all their strength, because no one knew whether the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces would kill anyone.  In the event that the Jin Kingdom, Goryeo, and the Japanese find a large number of reinforcements, the current strength of the defenders is still insufficient. If there is a little slack, Ulleungdo will be in danger!  So Wang Feng had to make a lot of preparations, repair the fortifications, and train the people before the battle, making a posture of being ready for the battle.

    At the end of the day, after burying the bodies and repairing the fortifications, the entire base came back to life. After the position was reinforced, it seemed to be strong again.  However, Wang Feng did not dare to take it lightly. It turned out that the surviving defenders, including the wounded, were less than 100, and there were only less than 100 non-military personnel left. Adding the troops he brought, the total number was  It's just one thousand and zero. There are less than 300 people here who have served as soldiers. The others are ordinary people. Not to mention the limited military strength, the total number of people is not large. In addition, the firearms are limited, and we have to take into account the defense of the base and the escort of the ship. It is really  It's stretched thin.

    The most important thing is that the subordinates he brought are not for consumption. They are either the backbone of the factory he brought out, or they are talents in construction and agriculture. They are the most precious human resources.  When we moved eastward for the first time, we basically didn¡¯t bring any equipment or anything, but we just brought this group of people. When the time came, we would quickly build factories one after another on Sakhalin Island, and it was only this group of people that we took with us.  The situation on Ulleung Island is critical now, and they have no choice but to help. For the time being, these people can only go into battle to help defend. But if these non-military personnel are really allowed to fight, Wang Feng will be heartbroken every time one of his men dies.

    Fortunately, throughout the whole day, the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces did not attack, and they must not come again.  Well, assuming they know the opportunity, reinforcements from Sakhalin Island should be arriving as well.

    One day later, Tang Kai's reinforcements had not arrived yet, but Han Yuzhou and Long Jiu's reinforcements arrived first.

    The reinforcements of Han Zhouzhou and Long Jiu came from Sado Island. This is of course due to the flying pigeon communication network that Mao Geng had spared no effort to build before this.  Here on Ulleung Island, after losing half of the defenders in a rash attack on the first day, Ishain took the initiative and immediately sent a letter to Ryujiu on Sado Island for help.

    It happened that Han Zhouzhou was on Sado Island at this time. Well, the reason was because the gold mine on Sado Island had "revealed".  According to the prior agreement, there are still three joint ventures: Mao Group, Han Xuanzhou's Taisong Sea Trade, and Beihai County Prince Zhao Lu. The cooperation between the three companies is already familiar, and this gold mine is naturally no exception.  In order to ensure the safety of gold mining and intimidate Xiaoxiao, Han Yuzhou, who holds the most powerful maritime force in the world today, came to show off his military power. That was the intended meaning of the title. By the way, he also went to Sado Island to inspect his gold mines.  Mine, so Han Zhouzhou led a fleet that could be proud of the sea to Sado Island.

    After inspecting the gold mine on Sado Island, Han Kanzhou was very satisfied, damn it!  It's really a huge profit. This gold mine seems to be very similar to the gold mine in Taiwan. All the income from the gold mine in Taiwan goes to the court, and it is not convenient for the Song Dynasty court to 'meddle' in the gold mine on Sado Island. Hehe, this is what happened.  It is such a great thing that three companies jointly mine this gold mine.

    It had only been two days since Han Kanzhou arrived at Sado Island when Long Jiu received a message from Ulleung Island asking for help. Naturally, Long Jiu was the first to think of the force under Han Kanzhou.

    Han Xuanzhou naturally understood the strategic value of Ulleungdo. For the "returnees" headed by Mao Geng, Ulleungdo was an important supply relay base and an important fulcrum on the rear transportation line. There should be no room for loss under any circumstances.  .

    The importance of Ulleungdo is not only for Mao Geng and others, but also for the Song Dynasty.  Han Xianzhou even thought that it would be best if Mao Geng was willing to 'hand over' Ulleungdo to the court.  The imperial court will manage Ulleungdao and build Ulleungdao into a base that threatens the Jin Kingdom and Goryeo. Even further, it can be used as a bridgehead to attack the rear of the Jin army from the northeast. Even if it takes a step back,?It can be at the horns of each other with Natsui Island and Sado Island.

    As a fanatical expansionist in the Song Dynasty, Han Kanzhou felt that the territory of the Song Dynasty could not be too big. If there was an additional island with strategic significance, of course he would only wish to do so.  However, Han Yuzhou would not clearly mention to Mo Geng that Ulleungdo was placed under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Han Yuzhou would not do this kind of poaching of collaborators. Ulleungdo is now guarding the rear of Sakhalin Island.  Main point, how could Mao Geng and his gang be willing to completely 'hand over' their backs to the imperial court!  But this time is always an opportunity. If I lead the troops to save Ulleungdo, then it will be feasible for me to cooperate with the Mao Group in Ulleungdo, whether it is mining for gold or silver, or even fishing together.  It¡¯s not that we haven¡¯t cooperated in fishing before. We did it before on Xiayi Island!

    Therefore, Han Zhouzhou immediately agreed to bring troops to help without saying a word.  However, he was a little cautious and did not set off immediately but found an excuse to delay for a while. The reason was for no other reason than Han Xianzhou felt that the more critical Ulleungdo was, the more difficult it was to rescue him.  Originally, Sado Island was not far from Ulleung Island, but when Wang Feng arrived, Han Kanzhou's luxurious fleet arrived.

    Not long after Han Zhou arrived, the leading lightning speedboat of the Sakhalin reinforcements led by Tang Kai also arrived.  As a result, people from all walks of life gathered on the small Ulleungdo Island, and the Ulleungdo base suddenly became more lively than ever.  There are 28 large ships and more than 3,000 people along Han Yuzhou's route alone.  Among them, Han Yuzhou's ship is the latest thousand-ton class ship. It is covered with iron sheets and has an attack angle on the bow. Even if it is rammed, it can sink the ships of the Jin Dynasty, Goryeo and Japan. In addition, there are three lightning strikes in the fleet.  Speedboats, such a super fleet, can be said to be invincible. After all, the Jin people, Koreans and Japanese are not fools, so how can they dare to come for abuse?

    Now we don¡¯t have to worry about Ulleungdo being attacked anymore. After we relax, it¡¯s time to buy wine and entertain guests.  There is only one most distinguished guest here, and that is Han Yuzhou.

    At the banquet, Han Yuzhou's face was full of spring breeze, and he smiled and said:

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the scenery of Ulleungdo Island is so beautiful. It¡¯s so unique!¡±

    The time travelers present here include Long Jiu, Wang Feng, and Tang Kai. Because Yisha is a woman and a member of a foreign race, it is naturally inconvenient for her to attend the banquet.  The three time travelers here thought to themselves, you still have to say this!  In later generations, Ulleungdo became a tourist hotspot in South Korea. This island was formed due to a volcanic eruption, and some of its scenic spots have the charm of the scenery of the Li River.  One of the Guanyin Islands is similar to the scenery of Elephant Trunk Mountain. Both have a "hole" and "cave" on the water, which is picturesquely reflected on the blue water.  However, Han Chanzhou has probably never been to the Lijiang River and has never experienced the scenery of "the Lijiang River is the best in the world". Now Han Chanzhou is praising the scenery of Ulleungdo Island, which is in line with the saying "a wife is someone else's good thing".

    Of the three people, Long Jiu was the one who had the best understanding of Han Chanzhou's thoughts. Han Chanzhou wanted to "meddle" in Ulleung Island and had to follow him, but he couldn't let him go.  Immediately he said:

    "Mr. Han, not only is the scenery here good, but there are many places where good harbors can be built. After this incident, Mr. Wang Feng proposed to Chief Mao that Ulleungdo should be well managed, including building a  Navigation school, President Han must be very interested in this."

    Wang Feng was already drunk with wine and immediately said:

    "We heard that the imperial court is going to establish a navy, and it is said that the commander-in-chief of the navy is President Han. We have set up a navigation school on this island, hoping to help President Han develop the navy in Japan."

    After hearing this, Han Yuzhou smiled and did not deny it.

    It has not been a day or two since the Song Dynasty court planned to establish a navy. There have been rumors for a while that Xin Qiji will be the commander of the navy. However, the accurate news recently obtained through the public is that Han Yuzhou won the final victory.  There is an inherent truth in thinking about it. In the original history, Han Zhouzhou was able to achieve one person below ten thousand people, so his talent as an official cannot be underestimated. However, Xin Qiji has never been able to cross the provincial and ministerial level.  On the threshold, even provincial and ministerial level cadres are not able to do their job properly. They often have to step down after a few years of service. It is only because Xin is not only talking about loyalty, but also talking about gangsterism and temper. With these "three stresses", of course,  It's hard to beat Han Kanzhou, not to mention that Han Kanzhou has stronger backup - the Queen Mother is no ordinary backup!

    The second reason is the Song Dynasty¡¯s understanding of maritime power.  It is said that the two dynasties of Gaozong and Xiaozong vigorously opened up to the outside world, and maritime trade was the number one encouraged development direction of the Song Dynasty. It was only in the past two years that the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty understood that maritime military power could expand territory. But before that, under the guidance of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty,  In my mind, maritime military power is nothing more than a means of protecting maritime trade.  Han Xianzhou's Taiwan-Song Sea Trade has become the dominant position in maritime trade, and its escort force also dominates the world. With Han Xianzhou in charge of the navy, it is completely for professionals to do professional things. However, Xin Qiji did not have a professional counterpart, so in the end Han Xianzhou  It is not surprising that he won.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?This was the first time he met Wang Feng and Tang Kai. Han Zhouzhou had a very good impression of these two young men.  Wang Feng's first impression of Han Yunzhou was also indescribably good. At the very least, Han Yuanzhou seemed to be much more knowledgeable and knowledgeable than Chen Liang's group, not to mention that Han Yuanzhou's official position was much higher than that of Chen Liang's group!

    Wang Feng used to be the leader in charge of industry in the Kra Isthmus. During this period, he also seemed to manage civil affairs for a while.  But after Chen Liang went to the Kra Isthmus, the situation slowly changed.

    After Chen Liang came to the Kra Isthmus to take charge, Wang Feng initially wanted to stay in the Kra Isthmus to develop. After all, he was farming heavily here. It was the harvest season. Once he left, he would have to start all over again.  However, Chen Liang is really a strong person. He usually treats Wang Feng well and is quite courteous and virtuous. However, Chen Liang drinks too much. After drinking too much, he will often scold his subordinates. Even Wang Feng is not immune.

    The team that Wang Feng manages in the Kra Isthmus is not necessarily smaller than before. After all, the stall is getting bigger and bigger, and it officially has the name of a special zone. The number of people under Wang Feng's management has not only not decreased, but has also increased significantly.  But in the previous situation, Ma Fentang Kai was out conquering cities and territories, while Han Huanzhang was only in the name of being the leader. Wang Feng was still in charge of the specific matters, including civil affairs and industrial and agricultural production. Wang Feng almost took control of them.  Now Chen Liang is in charge. On the one hand, Chen Liang is very powerful, and on the other hand, as the emperor and courtiers, Chen Liang also has quite a lot of talents in his pocket. Of course, Wang Feng is no longer needed for civil affairs matters.

    Such a situation made Wang Feng a little disappointed, and he was no longer as enthusiastic about staying in the Kra Isthmus as before.  In the past two years, the dream of opening a new Silk Road supported Wang Feng, and he worked hard in the Kra Isthmus. Seeing that the idea was gradually taking shape, Wang Feng felt that all the hardships were worth it.  But a few months after Chen Liang came, Wang Feng found it difficult to express himself freely. In addition to Chen Liang being too strong and being constrained intentionally or unintentionally by Chen Liang's direct descendants, the main reason was because of differences in concepts, and Wang Feng was not like Long Jiu.  He was so good at communication, so he felt dissatisfied every time he came and went, and Wang Feng had the idea of ????leaving.  Just as he was passing through the center, he kept waving to Wang Feng. Wang Feng finally decided to join the organization.

    Wang Feng has been operating in the Kra Isthmus for more than two years, and he has built several factories. Before leaving, under Mao Geng's instructions, Wang Feng packaged and sold these factories to the Kra Isthmus Special Economic Zone. Of course, he had to bring some key personnel with him.  In the end, after making various wishes, there were more than 600 key personnel of various colors who followed Wang Feng.

    Cai Houde's situation was actually not much different from Wang Feng's. Cai Houde had a stubborn temper. Gradually, Chen Liang became dissatisfied with this vulgar and disobedient warrior, so Cai Houde had no choice but to defect to his old master Ma Fen.  Naturally, Cai Houde also has some confidants, and this time they also followed Cai Houde to pursue their future.

    After arriving at Ulleungdo for two days, Wang Feng started to think about it. After this incident, Ulleungdo had to either give up or strengthen. It goes without saying that it can only be the latter.  Since he wants to strengthen, he can definitely strive to develop here in Ulleungdo.

    Ulleungdo Island covers an area of ??73 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the area of ??a town in the later Chinese dynasty. It has no problem at all to support 20,000 to 30,000 people, not to mention it is an excellent fishing ground.

    So a message was sent to Sakhalin Island, and Wang Feng put forward his own suggestions, suggesting that Ulleungdo should be upgraded to an important strategic fulcrum.  As for me, I can stay here and take charge of Ulleungdo. On the one hand, I can build some factories here to supplement Sakhalin Island and take into account agriculture, animal husbandry and fishery.  On the other hand, building an unbreakable super fortress can then serve as Sakhalin's wartime rear base and rear transportation gateway
