Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

Chapter 110 Shuttle Boat Landing

Early the next morning, Qu Mao rode a rough horse with a torch and rushed to the civilian wharf outside the small village of Mingang.

It was still around five in the morning, and the sky was still dark. The five stone lighthouses on the cliffs around Mingang were still burning, like five blooming flowers, illuminating the dark sea.

The mobilization of the four heroes and the three village chiefs to explore the new island fleet was relatively efficient. The mobilization and personnel assembly had been achieved the night before, and when Qu Mao arrived at the civilian dock at around [-]:[-] in the morning, all boarding had already been completed.

Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the leaders and soldiers of Yi Village are generally bachelors. Being a bachelor is less burdensome, and they can be prepared immediately after a little mobilization.

Kong Ming stood next to Su Yan and Qu Mao, waving a goose feather fan and said: "My lord, your lord internal affairs officer personally recruited 6 military ship doctors overnight, and 4 of them were women. His subordinates suggested that each ship should arrange two doctors, and each ship should have two doctors. There is at least one female ship doctor on board."

Qu Mao nodded and said: "Your arrangement is very good, I will implement it according to your arrangement."

Wang Ping approached, handed the hero treasure space bag to Qu Mao, and said, "My lord, you will go out to explore for about a month this time, and this treasure will be returned to you according to our original arrangement.

In addition, the subordinates prepared 50 bags of grain brought back from Yancheng, a total of 10000 units, and the fleet of more than 500 people can last at least a week.

In addition, 5 crossbow arrows and 1 bow arrows are also prepared for the consumables of the third-tier princess guards and long-range troops. They are packed in bundles of 2000, totaling 30 bundles, which will take up about two spaces in your backpack. "

Qu Mao equipped the space bag to the total treasure equipment column, clicked on the backpack and saw that the backpack immediately became 96 grids, turned his head and said to Wang Ping: "Trade the materials to me first, although this time the sea to explore the new island costs a total There are three heroes, but I personally lead the team, so I will equip this treasure for myself.

Zhao Pan and Kong Ming are with the army. Zhao Pan mainly commands the army to fight, and Kong Ming mainly leads the people to serve as logistics auxiliary soldiers. After the temporary station is built, I will equip Kong Ming with the space bag. "

Su Yan was also in the sending team, Qu Mao turned around and said to Su Yan: "Su Yan, you need to devote more energy and care to the territory construction, after all, we took away nearly a quarter of the territory this time. population of one.

We're out exploring new islands, so try not to procrastinate for as long as a month.The shortest is 10 days, and the slowest is one month. Anyway, it is not far away.

Please rest assured that we have brought 1 units of food with the army, which is enough for more than 500 of us to consume.

In addition, there are enough wild beasts on the small island in the southwest, we have a large number of warriors, and we can hunt and kill wild beasts to supplement food anytime and anywhere..."

Su Yan nodded and said: "My lord, you can set off with peace of mind. I have been advising my lord on other islands since I joined the territory of Yi Village, and my lord can be regarded as helping my subordinates realize their own plans.

Everything in Yidao has subordinates. Even if the total number of citizens is reduced by a quarter, subordinates will try not to delay the construction, development and resource production speed of Yidao. "

Wang Ping, Su Yan, Sunan, Jia Sixie, Franklin King, Maffei Trani, Wei Qubing and others on the wooden trestle of Qu Maochong's civil wharf waved their hands, turned to Zhao Pan and Kong Ming and said, "You two Choose a ship to board each.

Leave the ship with the shuttle boat to me, and my ship will set off first! "

Just as Zhao Pan was about to turn around and board the boat, Kong Ming grabbed Zhao Pan, waved his goose feather fan and said to Qu Mao, "My lord, this place is only 30 kilometers to the southwest, and the journey is not far away. My subordinates think that the three of us should It would be more appropriate to stay on a sea ship.

In this way, when encountering some situations, it is also convenient for us to discuss and make decisions with each other, so that we do not think clearly before issuing orders. "

Qu Mao thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, what you said makes sense. That's fine. If that's the case, then the three of us can board the boat."

Standing on the deck, Qu Mao, Zhao Pan and Kong Ming waved goodbye to the left-behind core personnel on the wooden trestle bridge.

Zhao Pan shouted loudly: "Every ship, lift anchor and unmoor, and set sail!"

About 200 meters away from Yidaomin Port, the three ships hoisted their mainsails and jibs one by one, and quickly headed towards the southwest of Yidao.

At a distance of about [-] kilometers, although it is not completely downwind, but in about two hours, before [-] o'clock in the morning, I have already seen the island that is bigger than Yi Island in the southwest of Yi Island.

Qu Mao himself wanted to arrange for the shuttle boat to land directly, but Kong Ming waved his goose feather fan and said, "My lord, I have also talked to the sailors in Mingang Village many times recently. The surroundings of this small island are very flat. The place is not suitable for building a military port, so why don't we drive directly to the mouth of the river on this island."

He didn't understand the purpose of Kong Ming's arrangement, but Qu Mao still followed Kong Ming's intention and informed the sailor who was steering the ship of the sailing position.

About half an hour later, the three ships arrived at the sea near the mouth of the island's river, but no matter how hard they tried, the ships were about 30 meters away from the coastline or the mouth of the river.

Qu Mao didn't give orders directly, but instead turned his questioning gaze to Kong Ming, while Zhao Pan stayed by Qu Mao's side without giving any advice at all.

Kong Ming still waved his goose feather fan unhurriedly, and said, "My lord, I suggest that we arrange 10 retiring citizens of second-tier soldiers and 10 guards of third-tier princesses to build a civilian dock here.

After leaving these 20 people behind, we will continue to explore the barren island in the southeast. There is no need to leave military food and other materials. There shouldn't be any problems in maintaining the food supply for 20 people by hunting. "

Qu Mao said: "Okay, I will follow your arrangement, and the military supplies will not be kept, and Zhao Pan and I will send them there in person, and build a civilian dock by the way.

Su Buqing, the third-tier princess guard team who chose to stay to guard and hunt. "

Su Buqing shouted to the inner cabin: "Li Ze, take your team and prepare to land! Remember, the guards will build a civilian dock, hunt for self-sufficient food, and I will give you three marching tents."

Zhao Pan found 10 second-tier fighters and retired leaders, together with a small team of third-tier princess guards led by Captain Li Ze, accompanied by Qu Mao himself on the shuttle boat.

The shuttle boat is only about 5 meters long and 1.5 meters wide. It is already crowded with 22 people, but fortunately, the distance is only about 30 meters.

After landing on this small island, Qu Mao chose to build a civilian wharf at the mouth of the river, and at the same time arranged 10 local citizens to be on duty for the construction. As for how long it will take to build, it will definitely not be repaired before the next visit.

Zhao Pan assigned tasks such as guarding, patrolling, hunting, barbecue, and food delivery to the team leader Li Ze. The nine third-tier princess guards set up tents and went to the surrounding forests to collect firewood.

Then Qu Mao and Zhao Pan personally drove the shuttle back to the ship and continued sailing eastward.

On the way, Qu Mao, Zhao Pan, and Kong Ming, after consulting Su Buqing, Chafidel, and others, named the island with vegetation just left as Outlying Island, and the barren island that was about to pass as Sky Island.

In less than an hour, the fleet of sea-going ships of Qu Mao and others had arrived at Sky Island.

No wonder the sailor who reported the message said that he saw a god-given treasure chest on the top of Kongdao Mountain from a distance. Qu Mao was standing on the deck of the ship, and he could see a treasure chest similar to the top of the mountain before he went up to the watchtower of the main mast. thing.

After seeing the treasure chest, Qu Mao couldn't wait even more, and ordered the sailors to get as close to the coastline as possible, but Kong Ming chose a cliff near the southwest, parked the ship about 10 meters from the shore, lowered the sails, anchored, Then the shuttle boat was lowered.

Using a shuttle boat, about 20-25 crew members will be dispatched at a time. This time Qu Mao brought a total of nine horses on board, six mounts of the fourth-rank light cavalry and three rough horses.

Qu Mao was the first to disembark with 20 citizens. As soon as he landed, he arranged for the construction of a nearby civilian wharf according to Kong Ming's instructions, and arranged all 20 leaders to guard the construction. Mau intends to keep the construction at full capacity.

Relying on a shuttle boat, it was not until noon that all the personnel on the three sea ships were taken to the empty island except for the necessary sailors.

Zhao Pan had already commanded the army to search the empty island in batches, including picking up the god-given treasure chest exposed in the open space, exploring the suspected space entrance, and searching for resource points.

Kong Ming has already filled all the construction personnel on duty at the civilian pier, and the other citizens are either marching in tents, or setting up bonfires to barbecue. Before Qu Mao left, there were more than a dozen wild animals harvested by the Tianyi Island troops in his backpack. corpse.

As long as Qu Mao authorizes it, ordinary citizens can also pick up visible god-given treasure boxes, but they do not have the right to open treasure boxes. Qu Mao can also authorize the right to open treasure boxes, but he can only authorize his own heroes to open treasure boxes.

In the evening, a raging bonfire was lit in the temporary resident, and the firewood for the bonfire was prepared by Wang Ping in advance.

Zhao Pan came back with his troops and said to Qu Mao: "My lord, although Sky Island is a barren land, my subordinates led the soldiers to collect a total of five god-given treasure boxes.

发现疑似折叠空间入口五处，金属矿场4处、宝石矿场2处、水晶矿场1处、秘银矿场3处、符文石矿场2处、硫磺矿场3处，预计能建设采石场的地方不下10处。

Except for the place where the quarry is built, there are monsters on duty in the field mines, but the subordinates did not rush to find out how many monsters are on duty, because you know that the number of monsters on duty in the mine is incredible. able to check clearly. "

Qu Mao nodded, and said: "Give me the God-given treasure chest first, and take me to confirm the entrance of the folding space tomorrow morning. According to experience, there are at least two or more real entrances to the folding space. down.

In the future, we will arrange resource mine raids. Unexpectedly, Sky Island is only one-third the size of Yi Island, and there are 15 resource mines. "
