Chapter 118: Transforming Pirate Island

Wu Song looked at the sky. It was already afternoon. It was dark soon. He immediately said: "Tonight, set up camp on the island, Ruan Xiaoqi led a fleet to camp at the port."

The order was passed down, and the guards and the farmer found an empty place, picked up a big axe and cut down trees, built barracks and camped for the time being.

Let’s talk about Wu Song returning to the ship, Ruan Xiaoqi was arranging the sailors to settle in the port. Since the battle had just ended, the alert level was still very high and ready to fight at any time.

I was just busy fighting, but I didn’t pay attention to the terrain of Black Wind Island. The island is ten miles away from north to south, about four miles east to west. Except for a small stone mountain, the others on the island are dense forests. Especially the port of Black Wind Island is excellent, with cliffs on both sides blocking it. The sea outside is surging and the waves inside are calm.

Wu Song, Luo Ping, Ruan Xiaoqi, Bian Xiang and Mi Sheng were sitting on the bow of the boat and watching the scenery. At this moment, the setting sun was west, and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. The red sunlight shone on the beach and the sea. If it weren't for the people who cleaned the battlefield, what a beautiful picture would be.

"What a beautiful sunset." Wu Song sighed.

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Sometimes I feel that life is like dreaming. I used to think that the water pool at my doorstep was the largest. Now I go out of the sea and know that it is just a small puddle."

"The sea we are in is just the smallest sea, as well as the East China Sea and the South China Sea. The sea is too big, so big that it is unimaginable. In the future, it will be a world of oceans. Europe's Rome, England, France and other countries will vigorously develop the oceans in the future." Wu Song said.

Luo Ping and Mi Sheng were just like listening to the Book of Heaven, and they couldn't understand it. Bian Xiang said: "Brother, according to your statement, how is our Song Dynasty compared to those Western countries?"

Wu Song said: "Now, our Song Dynasty is a hundred times stronger than them, but the powerful and treacherous officials in the court are fighting for fame and fortune, and fighting openly and secretly, so how can we care about the development of navigation? The Liao Kingdom is still in its twilight years and there is no threat to the Song Dynasty. However, the Jin Kingdom has begun to rise and will sooner or later replace the Liao Kingdom. At that time, our Song Dynasty will have to peel off even if it dies. By then, the Song Dynasty will be far behind the Western countries."

"Since sailing is so important, why don't we occupy this island and use it for our own use? Whether it is building a shipyard or training caravan sailors, it is very convenient here. Moreover, our long snake cannon is not suitable for staying on the merchant ship openly. After all, it is a forbidden item in the court." Bian Xiang said.

Wu Song said: "It's right. I was trying to occupy this place, but we are not pirates. We must have a complete solution."

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Brother's method is so hard. I just want to take over it directly. I will find someone to be a pirate, and I still hang the pirate flag of the Black Wind Thieves. The government dared not come at all, not to mention that the island team members are not as important as the court."

Wu Song shook his head: "Not, it's not appropriate. I want to find a way to govern here openly. You must know that there are dozens of islands of all sizes nearby. There are six or seven islands of large size alone. Whether it is developing fishing or farming, it is a great benefit."

Ruan Xiaoqi was unwilling to think about such a brain-struggled thing, Wu Song said: "Don't care about the others first, and take it first. From tomorrow, we will sort out the pirate's original house and trim the fortifications. This is ours."

If you reach the fat meat in your mouth, don’t matter if it is hot or not, let’s talk about it after eating it.

More pirate treasures have never been found, only the 30,000 taels of silver, a small amount of gold and gold and silver jewelry. Wu Song did not make any statement. After all, this is a big sum of money and is not suitable for publicity.

The sailors, guards, and patrolmen who participated in the war all had two taels of silver to get, and there were more silver to get if they had made contributions. The scepter and tiger power long snake cannon made the greatest contribution. If it weren't for the scepter and snake cannon, it wouldn't be able to easily defeat the pirate warship. After getting ashore, they would have fought against the pirates with less than 200 troops. If it weren't for the scepter and snake cannon, it would not have been so easy.

So the casting of cannon shop is the first achievement.

Wu Song decided to take out 3,000 taels of silver from the spoils as a bonus, and the reward for making contributions was heavy, and the reward for making soy sauce was light. In addition, there were sailors and guards who died in battle, and all of them were paid for 30 taels of silver at one time, which was completely the same as the imperial guards.

All children in the family are raised until adulthood, and this kind of treatment is not bad.

On the second day, Black Wind Island underwent earth-shaking changes, and the original pirate nest became a port where the carts were opened. The name of the island was also changed, called Qinghe Island. The island began to build a very large port and shipyard, which is still under planning.

In the future, every time I escorted, the ship carrying long snake cannons was changed to a full-time warship. When I returned from the Tanggu escort caravan, I had to return to Qinghe Island Port more than 200 miles away. Although this was a bit troublesome, I could hide the cannons.

The configuration of Qinghe Island is based on the carts. Although there is no business here, there will be a lot of goods going around. After all, there are many businesses coming from Heili and Baili going. There is a lot of business. One escort leader is set up and one hundred people are guarding. The fleet sailors are not under Qinghe Island's management, but the two sides can coordinate with each other.

The living room of the Qinghe Island Cart Tour office reception hall, which was the original Black Wind Pirate Gathering Hall. Wu Song sat in the middle, with each of the big deceased heads and the shopkeepers standing on both sides.

Wu Song said: "The matter has been decided. The Tongda Cart Shop of Qinghe Island will be built on this island. In the future, the goods for export trade to Liao and Jin will be turned over from now on. In addition to the standard one hundred guards, there will be more guards here. Which of you is willing to stay and do this red deceased?"

Everyone, look at me, let me see you. Li Kui doesn’t like the environment of the island. Tang Bin and Guo Sheng have just arrived and are not suitable for him. Bian Xiang said: “Brother, look at me. If my brother doesn’t have a better candidate, I am willing to share my worries and guard this island.”

Wu Song said: "It's so good. I don't worry if Bian Xiang is the head of the escort. In a few days, I will transfer 100 guards to you from the headquarters of Qinghe County."

As for the original pirates, those who died in battle have been buried deep, and the remaining prisoners are all carrying out infrastructure construction and road construction on the island, and a road from south to north.

The island has experienced wars and is full of things. There are too many places that need construction and too many places that require personnel. Wu Song thought about it and planned it carefully. The construction of ports on the island is necessary, so the first thing is to separate the warships and merchant ships. The construction of warship ports is more hidden. The second thing is to build a shipyard, which requires at least dozens or hundreds of craftsmen to produce lucky ships suitable for long-distance voyages and warships. The third thing is to develop agriculture in a small amount, the land on the island is fertile, and it can appropriately cultivate and plant vegetables and fruits, and raise some chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep in a small amount.
