Chapter 1050: Searching for an Island Base

The promotion to Duke of the State brought many benefits to Huangfu Chaobo. In addition to being able to set up his own state government, there is also more money in his pocket. The tax in the game is divided into five parts, of which the player's own territory occupies one part, the county, county city and state each occupy one part, and the other part is paid to the court. After Huangfu Chaobo was promoted to Duke of the State, the tax paid to the court by the territory under his rule was divided into two, half to the Duke's Mansion and half to the court.

Don't underestimate this half, fifteen counties and hundreds of cities, add up to not a small amount. You know, why Guo Si and Li Jue were able to feed hundreds of thousands of troops with the land of three counties, it was because of these taxes. Now half of it has returned to Huangfu Chaobo's own pocket, how can he not be happy.

Another point is that Huangfu Chaobo has no level restrictions on the official positions he bestows on his subordinates. In other words, as long as Huangfu Chaobo is willing, he can bestow the first-rank general. However, Huangfu Chaobo will not bestow them all at once, but must do it step by step.

There is another reward that makes Huangfu Chaobo feel like he is assisted by God. Because in the reward for promotion to Duke sent from Chang'an, in addition to the nine gifts symbolizing authority awarded by the little emperor, there are also two sets of upgrade drawings for large, medium and small cities and two special drawings.

Huangfu Chaobo didn't care much about the upgrade drawings of these cities, but the two special drawings made Huangfu Chaobo's eyes light up.

"Special drawings: building migration drawings; use: any building (including special buildings) in the territory can be migrated to a designated location in the territory."

When seeing these two drawings, Huangfu Chaobo almost laughed three times. These two drawings can be said to be timely rain for Huangfu Chaobo. This game has been running for several years, but there are several places that have been criticized by players. One of them is that all the territories and buildings in the territories in the game cannot be moved.

Especially for territories, many construction games have props similar to "City Relocation Order" and "Flying City Order". After certain special requirements are met, players can fly their territories to other places. However, in this game, no matter how the players complain, there is no such item. Therefore, many players can only give up their original territories when they want to change places for development, or when Huangfu Chaobo developed from Changsha to Luoyang.

Not only Huangfu Chaobo, but also the knight, Wu Yu, and the domineering royal family have given up their original territories that they have worked hard to develop, which has been criticized by many players.

As for the buildings in the territory, if you want to change places, I'm sorry, you can only demolish them and rebuild them in another place. Like this time, Huangfu Chaobo was most unwilling to withdraw from Qingzhou because of the special dock in Shuanghe City. As for the advanced dock in Qingdao City, it was okay. The advanced blueprints were not difficult to get, but the blueprints of the special dock were hard to come by.

You know, the dock in Shuanghe City was upgraded with special blueprints. Although Huangfu Chaobo still had special blueprints in his hands, he had one less each time he used them. Now that he could solve the problem with a building migration blueprint, it would be the best. Upgrading a dock to a giant dock would take a huge amount of time, money and materials.

The war in Qingzhou has been over for nearly a month. Now Xiahou Yuan and Ye Lai Xiang have pacified the cities in the two counties, so they have set their sights on the two port cities of the Tang army. The troops of the two families have begun to gather towards the two cities, and the war is about to begin.

Originally, Huangfu Chaobo was thinking about whether he could keep these two enclaves, but it is impossible to see the current situation. Now that we have these two drawings, the problem of the two docks can be basically solved. We only need to find two islands like Yuzhou Mountain in the sea off Qingzhou.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo immediately sent a pigeon letter to Qingzhou, ordering the navy to find a suitable island as soon as possible. He believed that there should be many islands in the sea.

And he also told the navy commanders of the two cities the approximate locations of several famous large islands in the sea area off Shandong in reality, and asked them to search in these directions.

All the problems can be solved as long as the island is found. But now the war between the two cities is about to begin, but there are nearly 200,000 people in each city, and the transfer must be accelerated. At least they should be transferred to the island first, and then slowly transferred to Youzhou.

As Huangfu Chaobo expected, only one day later, the Qingdao Navy sent back a pigeon letter. They found a large island less than 100 miles south of Qingdao and only 40 miles away from the land in the west. The island is about ten miles long from north to south and about five or six miles wide from east to west. It is high in the east and low in the west. The west coast is flat, which is just suitable for building a base.

Because the island is far from the land, the fleet usually did not notice it. This time, it was found according to Huangfu Chaobo's instructions. There was a group of pirates on the island, about hundreds of people, who were quickly wiped out by the navy. Then the navy landed on the island and captured the pirates' den. As for building a village on it, Huangfu Chaobo needed to go there in person. However, although it is impossible to establish a territory, it is still possible to temporarily build some shelters on the island.

After receiving the pigeon letter, Huangfu Chaobo was very happy. He immediately sent a message to Chen Xiang in Qingdao, asking him to send a troop of about a thousand soldiers to escort thousands of civilians and craftsmen and a large amount of building materials to the island. After arranging Luoyang's affairs, he would rush to Qingdao as soon as possible.

At this time, the war in Qingdao City had already begun. After the night jasmine controlled other cities in Donglai, it assembled 50,000 troops and 10,000 civilians and craftsmen. Under the command of Xu Sheng, it launched an attack on Buqi City. At this time, there were less than 20,000 troops in Buqi City, led by Ji Bao and Buqi County Lieutenant, to resist the attack of Langya Army.

The next day, the navy of Shuanghe City also sent back a pigeon letter, and another suitable island was found. This time, it was the several island groups of the real North and South Changshan Island and the Big and Small Black Mountain Island, which is the scope of Changdao County later.

Huangfu Chaobo was even more overjoyed when he received the news. This was the best group of islands around the Shandong coast. Not only did the hydrological conditions there were particularly good, but unlike Lingshan Island, the North and South Changshan Islands had a large amount of arable land, and their habitable land was also much larger than that of Lingshan Island, making it the most suitable island base for the Tang army.
