To the east of Jiuyuan County, at the junction of the East China Sea and the North Sea.

Huhu
The west wind blows violently from the north.

A small boat floats alone on the sea, swaying with the wind from time to time.

Ji Heitu on the fishing boat turned pale, his hands were already shaking uncontrollably from exhaustion,
Ugh.

He was very remorseful, and couldn't help but speak again to confirm.

"Old He, do any of you three know how to send a message with a windmill?"

Now there are other fishing boats in Yunchui's sight. If both sides know how to windmill, they will be able to send the information back soon.

The three of Lao He looked at each other and shook their heads silently.

They were also a little annoyed, why didn't they work hard to learn the pinyin literacy method handed down by the Taishifu?
Even now, when one wants to convey information urgently, there is no other way but to convey it orally and launch the Cloud Piercing Arrow.

However, verbal communication requires a close conversation between the two parties, and the Cloud Piercing Arrow carries too little information, so it is not suitable at this time.

"Let's paddle. Even if you are exhausted, you must report the movements of the pirates back to Jiuyuan County as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

"Yes."

The four exhausted people randomly stuffed something into their mouths, gritted their teeth and stood up.

They walked to the oars and squeaked and shook the oars vigorously.

In the evening of the second day, a small boat sailed towards the shore quickly.

There is still a long distance from the sea, and someone on the boat shouted loudly.

"Emergency, immediately notify the county lieutenant."

The situation that Ji Heitu and others found out quickly passed to Mo Canghai's hands.

"The Japanese pirates are divided into two groups. A small number of fleets come to swindle and attack Jiuyuan County. The main force has already headed north. The goal is the North Customs?"

Hold.

"It's really cunning." Mo Canghai looked serious, and took a few steps to the map to take a deep look.

"The North Sea isn't frozen yet, right?" he asked.

"My lord, there is more or less ice on the sea at this time, but it will not affect the sailing for the time being."

Mo Canghai nodded.

The sea is not yet frozen, and there is freedom to go north and south.However, the three northern counties were already snowing heavily at this time, and the land route was almost cut off.

He doesn't have a battleship in his hand, so he can't even do support now.

"Immediately spread the news to all places. Don't forget about the Starfall Legion outside Beihai Customs. Please Captain Mo send a letter to Huang Shitao as soon as possible, telling him to be on guard against sea attacks."

"Yes!" The messenger left in a hurry.

Under the order of Emperor Changxing, the Starfall Legion has indeed entered Baekje in full, but that is for fighters like Ren Ning.

In fact, there is a Starfall Legion logistics team near the North Customs, led by Mo Dou, who is working hard to build new ships.

Beihai Customs, Shipyard.

Mo Dou received the news very quickly and was immediately startled.

He hurriedly looked towards the North Sea ahead, but the sea was calm.

But Mo Dou was not surprised at all.

It is not easy to move a big ship.Now the northwest wind is blowing to the southeast, which greatly slows down the speed of the ship.

However, the distance from Jiuyuan County to Yumu County is not close, so it is normal not to see any warships of Japanese pirates in Beihai for the time being.

But counting the time, even if the Japanese pirates haven't arrived yet, they won't be far behind.

After confessing some things, Mo Dou hurried into Beihai Customs.

After all, it was a member of the Starfall Legion, and he soon met Huang Shitao, the defender of the North Sea.

"The Japanese pirate fleet is coming towards our North Customs?" Huang Shitao was dubious, "Is Captain Mo's news true?"

"The news comes from Lieutenant Mo of Jiuyuan County. There must be no fake news."

Huang Shitao knew about Mo Canghai, so he stood up and walked towards the door after thinking about it.

He just opened the door.

Huhu
A biting cold wind rushed over, Huang Shitao shivered, and immediately didn't want to move.

He ordered his personal guards to go to the south to see the situation in the sea, and then sat down again with a smile.

"Captain Mo," Huang Shitao said politely.

"Although you are from the Starfall Legion, you have always been a logistics person. I'm afraid you don't know that war pays attention to the right time, place and people."

"Look, the weather is so bad today, and the wind is blowing outside the house. It must be difficult to move an inch on the North Sea. And my Beihai Xiongguan has not fallen for hundreds of years. It is possible for the Japanese pirates to attack Jiuyuan County, but they should not be stupid to come here to hit the wall. .”

"As for Mo Canghai," Huang Shitao pondered for a moment, "he is just a county captain, and I would have remembered that he should not have a large warship in his hands. The East China Sea is vast, how could he find the Japanese pirate fleet going north with a small fishing boat?"

Even if they find out, these fishing boats probably won't be able to escape, let alone send the news back to Jiuyuan County.

Mo Dou quickly explained a few words.

However, Huang Shitao kept smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, and he knew at a glance that it was coming in from the left ear and coming out from the right ear.

Mo Dou had no choice but to change the subject.

"General Huang, there are 120 battalion-class ships and nearly [-] transport ships stationed near the shipyard. Fortunately, the battalion-class ships are almost fully staffed. But the other transport ships are unmanned except for some ordinary boatmen."

"Why don't you arrange a group of soldiers to board the ship, General?"

"As the saying goes, plan ahead. If Japanese pirates really come here, these ships can more or less temporarily block them."

"That's fine." Huang Shitao nodded.

Mo Dou fell to the bottom of the Starfall Legion, he didn't want to offend too much.Anyway, it was the soldiers who got cold after boarding the boat, and Huang Shitao didn't care.

"How many people does Captain Mo need?"

Mo Dou pondered for a moment.

"Each transport ship is equivalent to a battalion-level ship, but it doesn't have too many weapons on it, so it doesn't need too many manpower. Otherwise, it should be equipped with [-]% of the battalion-level manpower first."

He looked at Huang Shitao's face, "Or [-]% is fine."

120% or [-]% of the battalion level is in hand, and there are still [-] ships?

Huang Shitao immediately became vigilant.

"Captain Mo, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

"The biggest responsibility of the officers and men of the North Customs is to guard the North Customs where the general is going down, instead of going on a ship to be a transporter. If there are dozens or hundreds of people, the general will turn a blind eye and close his eyes, as if there is no one. See. Now that you want so many people, I have no choice but to say sorry."

Speaking of this, he bowed his hands respectfully in the direction of Xingji City.

"I respect General Wei, and I will pretend that today's incident never happened. But it is inevitable that there are ears through the wall. If this news reaches the ears of His Majesty, let alone your General Wei, I will be too hungry to go around."

Mo Dou was speechless.

Dare to say that Huang Shitao didn't believe that the Japanese pirates would come to attack Beihaiguan, thinking that Wei Junqian wanted to mobilize his people to do something else.

"General, you think too much."

Mo Dou had no choice but to explain again, his mouth was dry, but Huang Shitao didn't say a word, just picked up the tea and drank it carefully.

This is obviously out of the question.

Mo Dou was so anxious that he could only shake his head secretly and turned around to leave in the end.

Back at the shipyard, he immediately called his men.

"Pass my order, all the shipbuilders and apprentices immediately put down their work, pack some warm clothes and evacuate immediately."

In other words,,,..version. 】

He glanced at the map, "Go to Jinghu County to take refuge temporarily."

These technicians were not many in number, only in their early [-]s, and they were all recruited by Wei Junqian from Zhennan Pass, thousands of miles away.

Even the apprentices are all treasures, and they must not be killed or taken away by Japanese pirates.

The three counties in the north are surrounded by a large quiet lake.

It is true that the Japanese pirates really took down the Beihai Customs, and even endangered the entire North.

At that time, these shipbuilders can brave the heavy snow to go west to Yanhui County, or go south to Jiuyuan County after crossing the northern mountains.

"Yes!"

In the Starfall Legion, as long as the top commander gave an order, no one would neglect them, and they took action one after another.

After Mo Dou ordered other things, he walked outside the door and looked at the densely packed ships on the sea ahead, with a gloomy expression on his face.

boom!
He suddenly punched the railing in front of him heavily.

These are all good warships, as long as they are loaded with heavy crossbows and catapults, they can gallop the sea.

However, because there is no one, I can only stop here now.

If the Japanese pirates came here, so many good ships would probably be burned or captured for their own use.
