After they were taken away, I asked Cui Bin, "How many people were there?"
"More than three thousand. Now there are seven of the ships and twenty of the boats, and we have collected them all together."
"Or you think of the week ah." If I hadn't taken Cui Bin with me, I would have done it all myself.
Cui Bin smiled: "I thought of it, so I did it."
I took the map to the past, pointing to a mountain above: "here is the production of saltpeter, on this island."
"No problem. I'll take men out to collect them tomorrow." Cui Bin nods: "What's next? Are we going straight back to Cuckoo island?"
"Of course, there are too many grenade losses in this battle, go back and get more ready to attack the remaining four kingdoms." I am doing this partly because we ourselves are currently ill-prepared. It was also hoped that the fall of this kingdom would serve as a warning to the remaining four kingdoms to surrender on the island of Bukuk. That deadline is before our next war.
"Brass Island must make arrangements soon?"
"Come on, let's go and see."
We went out together, and in the square we saw the brass Islanders with their bags. The slave chieftain who was among them was summoned and sent back to Bukuk island in boats with more than three thousand men. In particular, they stated that they could go to Bukgu and settle there if they wished.
After finishing the arrangement, Cui Bin was in charge of collecting saltpeter, and I was in charge of repatriating the people of Brass Island. I also led the people to check the storage of materials in the palace and loaded as many as I could see.
Seven big ships, cui Bin took two, we used three to load supplies, a lot of metal and food, and took 200 alpacas. In the meantime, I have John and Zombo drive out all the people of the king's city.
When it was dark, before Cui Bin and his men had returned, I set the palace on fire ahead of time.
When I woke up in the morning, I saw that all the fires in the king's city had not been completely extinguished.
After Cui Bin and his crew came back at noon, we drove seven big ships and two small boats straight back.
Since there are remnants of the Five Kingdoms on The island of Cuckoo, we went to the Island of Brass first. The new royal city was in ruins. He stopped at the port, summoned some men, and gave the two slave chieftain alpacas and weapons to clean up the remnants of the Five Kingdoms and keep the peace on the island of Brass. Then she sailed on.
While lying down to rest, John rushed in eagerly.
"Chief, the king is going to kill himself."
"Suicide?"
"Yeah, it's been going on for a while. We can't persuade him, so we have to tell him."
"Let's go and see."
When I got into the cabin, I heard the king yelling and screaming.
"Let go of me. I don't want to live anymore."
Seeing me coming, he persuaded his soldiers to let go.
The king took one look at me and sat slumped and motionless.
I walk to his opposite sit down: "why want to commit suicide?"
There was a long silence. Then the king said, "Why did you burn down my royal city when I have surrendered? Is this taking me to be a slave in Cuckoo Island?"
'Do you still want to be king?
He spoke no more.
"All right, I'll give you a chance." I said, "Take some men and persuade the other four Kings. If one of them is willing to surrender, I will let you go back to your kingdom and grant you land to rebuild your city and give you a thousand people. Convince two and give it to two thousand people."
"And if I have convinced all four Kings?" "He asked eagerly, stretching out his neck.
"Then I will give you 5,000 people. That's a lot."
"I'll go." He bounced to his feet, full of fight.
"All right." I turned to John and said, "Let Cui Bin and his men go back first. We'll take the king back to the Brass Island."
"Are you sure, chief?"
"Go ahead."
When John left, I walked back into the boathouse. When the ship returned to the Brass Island, I arranged for twenty soldiers to escort the King back to his kingdom, and then they took a boat back to The Island of Cuckoo.
Before we left, the king asked me to allow his family to go back with him. And I said yes. With the power of gunpowder, I don't have to hold his family hostage.
When the king and the others left in their boat, John was very puzzled and asked, "Chief, why did you let them go? Are you really not afraid that when he gets back he will command the whole army and turn against us?"
"Come if he has the nerve." He knew he hated it, but he was afraid it would be more than that.
John laughed. "I dare him."
"All right, let's go home."
It was late at night when we reached Bukgu island, and when we had emptied the boat, we went home.
Li Yunna came to open the door for me, the whole person was in a daze. Seeing that she was wearing only a pink nightdress, I was amazed to see two distinct dots. I swallowed.
"How's it going, Oba?"
"Well, you go back to bed."
Li Yunna put his hand and got into the house. I took a bath and went to the back room. I went to bed and met a soft, smooth body.
"Back." Li Wanxue asked lazily.
"That's your reaction to knowing I'm back."
"Too sleepy, these days received a lot of people, now there are more than 4,000 people on Bugu Island." Li Wanxue yawned, "I won't tell you. I'll be with you tomorrow night."
I actually also quite sleepy, from behind to embrace her also close eyes to sleep.
When I woke up, it was raining. Feeling someone in my arms, I reached out and grabbed her, only to find that she was wearing thin clothes. A look turned out to be Zhang Yutong.
"How are you?"
"Why, it can't be me." Zhang Yutong gave a white eye.
"No, last night..."
"Hee hee, I came this morning." Zhang Yutong said: "Wan Snow sister, to clean up the things you brought back."
"Then why don't you go? I came back with a lot of gold this time." I teased her on purpose.
Zhang Yutong a spirit down, climb up to go out. Suddenly he came back and went straight into the covers.
"Not even gold?"
"What's the use of all that gold? I have jewels." Zhang Yutong finish, the quilt spread the sound of wheezing.
I froze. I knew what she wanted. Two people are enjoying, the door was suddenly pushed open, Li Wanxue came in.
We looked at each other, she reacted, embarrassed said: "you go on, I go out."
I turned around. "You didn't lock the door?"
"The door is broken." Zhang Yutong cheeks red: "is not good?"
"It's okay. She's not someone else." I was a little freaked out, actually.
Zhang Yutong oh 1, oneself continued. It's like nothing ever happened.
When she was done, she was afraid to go out. After I went out to make sure no one was outside, she hurried back to her room, dressed herself and came out.
I went outside and saw Li Wanxue holding the baby.
She gave me a smile.
I also dry laugh 1: "the article clean how?"
"It's done." Li Wanxue said: "I gave out more than 20,000 jin of grain. The bronze is separated from the iron. There are still about fifty pounds of gold. What are you going to do with it?"
"You sort out your jewels first. The rest can be made into gold coins."
"We've already chosen." Li Wanxue said: "I recently found some of your previous currency, I think it is not very good, we make a new currency, must think carefully."
"It's all made by local methods. It can't be refined." I've always been happy with the money I've made.
"The key is to do a good job on the mold. I'll think of a way and show you the plan."
"That's all right." I took her hand: "don't be too tired, take your time, the idea of rest."
"Yes." Li Wanxue smiled.
When the baby began to cry, she quickly carried it to the nurse.
After dinner, I wanted to have a meeting. As a result, Cui Bin and his men went to collect sulfur. Let it go.
The population of the island had multiplied by several times, so I took some people on alpacas to tour the villages. Under Li wanxue's arrangement, many people joined the brick-burning industry, and large areas of forest were cut down, waiting to be built and used for farming. More than a dozen villages have begun to expand near the five that preceded them.
