Chapter 793 Qingdao and Jiaozhou Bay

The purpose of the layout of Xu Rong's Qianniu Camp is self-evident. Jixian County is a county town and a state city, and the war barracks are used to strengthen defense. The war barracks in Chang'an are used to defend the Langya Army from the Tuberose in the south together with the Chang'an garrison. .

As for Meng Yi's Canglang Battalion, except for the cavalry and one school of infantry who stayed in Huang County, the other two schools of infantry were placed in Luxiang County and Qianqiu County respectively.

Lu Xiang's troops and horses were used to prepare to support Beihai Kingdom and Shuanghe City, while Qianqiu's troops and horses were used as horns with Chang'an's troops to defend Tuberose's troops and horses.

In addition to the Qianniu Army's cavalry and infantry forces, Xu Rong also specially discussed with Jiang Qin and mobilized dozens of small and medium-sized warships from the Nutang Army to patrol the Zi River to prevent Xiahou Yuan's army from moving.

Although Xu Rong and Lou Gui had already roughly explained these arrangements to Huangfu Chaobo in the military newspaper, this was the first time they had been explained in such detail.

After listening to Xu Rong's explanation, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but secretly feel happy. His efforts were finally not in vain. No wonder Xu Rong, as a Youzhou native, was able to get along well with Dong Zhuo's Xiliang Army and win Dong Zhuo's favor. of trust.

It can be seen from his arrangements that Xu Rong is a rare handsome talent.

After staying in Xu Rong's army for a few days, Huangfu Chaobo, accompanied by Xu Rong and others, inspected the entire front-line defense of Zishui before he turned around and headed south with peace of mind.

Next, he must rush to Duchang and Xiami to deal with the two iron mines. These days, he has thought clearly about cooperating with those player territories to mine these two iron mines.

Before setting off, Huangfu Chaobo had already sent people to contact the territories leading the mining of these two mines and asked them to go to Duchang to discuss the development of the mines.

Two days later, Huangfu Chaobo rushed to Duchang. At this time, Dutinghou, the lord of the Duchang mine, and Wahaha, the lord of the Xiami mine, had already arrived in Duchang. What surprised Huangfu Chaobo was that they had no idea about the cooperation in mining. , the two of them directly agreed to Huangfu Chaobo's request without saying much.

Regarding the attitude of Qingzhou players, Huangfu Chaobo was more happy than surprised. After all, Huangfu Chaobo was now the actual controller of the two southern counties of Qingzhou, and no one wanted to cause more trouble.

Just like the players in Sizhou, the players in Sizhou have basically recognized Huangfu Chaobo. In the past few years, there were player territories or alliances that came out to cause trouble from time to time, but all of them were used by Huangfu Chaobo's subordinates as thunder. The momentum is extinguished.

The territory was directly destroyed, and ordinary players were blacklisted and simply not allowed to enter Huangfu Chaobo's sphere of influence. In this way, the players' hearts were calmed down.

After handling the iron ore matter, Huangfu Chaobo made another trip to Huang County and appeased the officials in Donglai County before returning to Shuanghe City.

At this time, Jiang Qin had prepared the goods and fleet needed to go south to Jiangdong, and was just waiting for Huangfu Chaobo to set sail.

On March 30, the fleet began to set off. This was the second time Jiang Qin took the sea route to Jiangdong, so he knew the itinerary quite well. There were nearly a hundred ships of various types in the fleet this time.

This time, Jiang Qin brought all six large ships from the Nutao Camp, a total of eight large ships, and then a whole school of navy soldiers and horses, escorting nearly thirty large boats and sea ships, and transporting nearly five hundred horses. Good war horses and a large number of northern specialties went south to Jiangdong.

Huangfu Chaobo only led a thousand iron wall battalions and a thousand yuan of crossbowmen, mainly because if they were on the ship, they would basically use bows and arrows in a battle. As for the accompanying personnel, they only have Pang Tong, Dian Wei and Shi A. As for the three ladies, they only brought Jia Jing with them. The other two and the children were protected by the remaining guards and stayed in Qingzhou. They will play in Qingzhou again. After a while, Huangfu Chaobo returned from the south and then returned to Luoyang together.

Jia Jing was particularly happy to take a boat out to sea for the first time. In reality, since the two reunited, except for a few mountain climbing trips outside the city, the two of them have basically had no time to travel far away. Although she is in the game now, Jia Jing still feels very happy.

From Shuanghe City, we first headed eastward.

Then follow the coastline of Donglai County, make a big circle around the Shandong Peninsula, and then turn south along the coastline.

Because they were not on a large ship, they did not dare to go too far into the sea and just walked along the coastline.

After a few days, the excitement of going out to sea for the first time had almost disappeared, and everyone began to feel a little tired. On this day, when their fleet reached the southernmost tip of Donglai County, Jiang Qin said to Huangfu Chaobo: "My lord, please take a look."

Jiang Qin pointed to a bay on the shore and said: "There is a bay over there. To the east of the bay is the boundary of Buqi, and to the west is the boundary of Guizhou. After passing Qianqi, you have left Qingzhou and fall within the scope of Xuzhou."

Huangfu Chaobo looked at a huge bay a few miles away. To the east of the bay were mountains. Looking at these places, there is always a very familiar feeling in my heart. Suddenly he asked: "What is the name of that mountain?"

Jiang Qin had stayed in Qingzhou for nearly half a year and was already very familiar with the waters within Qingzhou. He looked at Huangfu Chaobo's hand and immediately replied: "This mountain is called Laoshan, and it is said that there is an ancient temple in the mountain. "

"Snapped!"

Huangfu Chaobo struck hard with both hands and said loudly: "Why are they so familiar? Isn't this Qingdao and Jiaozhou Bay?"

Jiaozhou Bay can be said to be the gate to the south of Qingzhou. Together with Qianzou County, it ensures the safety of Qingzhou from both water and land aspects. Huangfu Chaobo has never looked south, so he has never thought of building a waterfront here in Qingdao. Military base, now that I have arrived here, I suddenly wake up.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo suddenly turned his head and looked at Jiang Qin and said: "General Jiang, you immediately send people back to Shuanghe, transfer a school of naval forces from Nutao Camp, and build a naval camp here. If you guard this place, you can resist. Attack from the sea from the south."

Jiang Qin also woke up and immediately nodded in agreement. This is indeed a very good navy base. It will definitely be built. Together with Qianzou, it will be the horns of each other and help each other. It will be of great help to the security of Qingzhou.

Huangfu Chaobo watched him immediately send a ship back to Shuanghe, and then said: "As far as I know, the hydrological conditions of this bay should be very good. After our naval base is built, if conditions permit, A dock could be built here.”

At this time, Pang Tong happened to walk out of the cabin and heard the conversation between Huangfu Chaobo and Jiang Qin. He also agreed: "Yes, my lord did this very well. And, in my opinion, my lord is not only controlling this place." , the waterway all the way south from here should preferably have islands or ports controlled by our Anton navy."
