Tao Zhen is a man who looks to be in his thirties. He looks quite elegant, and when communicating with him, he gives the impression that he is also very elegant. After getting to know him, Lin Haoming realized that before coming here, Tao Zhen was indeed
He comes from a scholarly family, but he is also a very independent person.
Naturally, Lin Haoming would not treat Tao Zhen unfairly. At least on the surface, he was listed as a colonel. Because Lu Pinhong suggested recruiting and took the initiative to go, Lin Haoming also promoted her to a colonel. In this way, Lin Haoming
There have been relatively big changes in the forces under them. The main force is still the largest, but the other three companies also have about half the manpower of the main force, and they all seem to have absolute leaders. This also creates a subtle
balance.
Conquering Tao Zhen was easier than imagined. After landing on the island, Tao Zhen seemed very calm. This also showed that this person is indeed courageous. Since he has surrendered, he will not hide it, which will make it easier to get along with him in the future.
As they took refuge, Lin Haoming also gathered their respective ships to form a real fleet, and renamed Ye Zi Island Haoming Island to temporarily serve as a base for advancement.
Now that they have temporarily established a foothold here, the next step for Lin Haoming is how to grow and enter the inland sea.
According to Lu Pinhong's description, the Edge Alliance consists of several major forces. The most powerful family in this area of the sea is flying a banner called Night Breeze.
In the sea area, many forces generally have two names. One is that if the leader is strong enough, the leader's name or nickname will be used directly. The other is to name the force after the name of the flagship.
That Night Breeze is not a force named after its flagship.
Night Breeze is the weakest force around. According to Lu Pinhong, Night Breeze has only a dozen ships and about 2,000 people. It has also set up a trading point on a large island within our sphere of influence, where it is very popular for exchange of goods.
, and even information exchange.
The big island is about a month's sail away from the currently renamed Haoming Island. Of course, that depends on whether there are any obstacles along the way.
The climate in the Marginal Sea is quite bad. The weather is 70 to 80 degrees Celsius all year round, and there are many storms. However, sailing long distances outside one's own sphere of influence is definitely risky for few people.
Lin Haoming also learned after arriving that within the sphere of influence that Ye Feng could radiate, there were only a dozen or so forces with around 700 to 1,000 people. Adding in even fewer large forces, there were still no tens of thousands of people.
In fact, this is also a historical rule. Ships from various forces will not actually dock at the dock. Xiao Shao will stop broadcasting at a certain distance from the shore. It is also convenient for people to act decisively unexpectedly. It is also a deterrent.
.
Before Lin Haoming gave the order, he came down with two men, and the others directly found a small table and sat down, but their expressions were also very wary. Tan Xinquan walked to the counter at this time, and he knew what was going on outside.
It was the shopkeeper or the bartender who asked directly: "You want to see the person in charge."
Halfway up the mountainside of the island, there is no relatively rough area, and there are the fewest external buildings. The smallest building is a tavern. You only need to step back to smell the fragrance coming from outside.
"Only eight people can go down."
The pub has two floors. The first floor is a small hall with dozens of tables. Many people gather around the tables to drink, and there are not many empty seats. On one side of the counter is the staircase leading to the seventh floor.
But there was no one blocking the stairs, and no one was allowed to go down.
The island is small, and the mountain is very flat overall. Some houses have been built from the hillside to the foot of the mountain, but there are many people under the island. Lin Haoming estimates that there are one thousand, four hundred or not.
Yes, that's not even equivalent to the total number of people on hand.
Lin Haoming doesn't care about this, and I even want to muddy the waters. As for rapid development, Lin Haoming feels that it is really unnecessary at the moment, because once it is done quickly, it will make everyone feel inert, just like
This was the case before we first arrived there.
According to the rules, when they were about to arrive at Shuangliu Island, they raised a flag to indicate their identity. However, even so, the other party did not allow their fleet to dock directly, but only allowed large ships to land on the island.
"That's the rule there. Only eight people can go downstairs to talk about things." At that time, Lu Pinhong also leaned into Lin Haoming's ear and started cooing.
As for the fact that there are so few people in sight, it is because it is exactly half a year since the island replacement, and that time is also one of the times with the least transactions, because in half a year, many forces have explored the replacement island and exchanged the materials they found.
, after that period of time passed, it was not one month after the island replacement, and Xiaojia was making bad preparations for the last island replacement.
At present, Lin Haoming does not have the power of thousands of people. He only has a little more ships, only eight. But in Lu Pinhong's view, he is not stronger than the strength that Ye Zi followed after him, and such a weak strength is also
He should be insulted, and at most he should have his name in the fringe alliance.
The small fleet under the small sea was actually still very powerful. However, as it approached Shuangliu Island, there were obviously fewer ships there. Lin Haoming even saw a large ship less than half a day away from Shuangliu Island, and kept a distance to follow it.
He was obviously not observing his own fleet.
Lin Haoming brought so few people down, so naturally they all retreated outside the tavern. In fact, they had not gathered together before they got there. According to what was said later, everyone went to do their own things.
Lin Haoming's seven ships are not too small, but the flagship is very small, which makes few people on the island look at him with admiration. According to Tan Xinquan, the flagship is actually smaller than the Night Breeze. If it will attract some
Things that come before.
Shuangliu Island is not an island where a trade point is set up in the eye of the night wind. Before Lin Haoming merged with several forces, I finally decided to come out and left only two large ships at my own place. I took the small ships and a small number of people to the mighty North
Went to Shuangliu Island.
Lin Haoming nodded and said, "He and Yan Meng will go down with you."
Before the ship berthed, several large boats were immediately put on board, and one after another a hundred people arrived at the shore in the large boats.
Lin Haoming walked back outside the tavern. There were only a dozen or so people around him, but he still attracted the attention of everyone in the tavern. Many people's eyes were staring at us, with their hands under the weapons on their waists. It seemed that Lin Haoming's arrival was not for his purpose.
It's like people trying their best, even though we didn't know each other later.
At this time, there were not many people on the shore. Obviously, I wanted to see who that group of people was. Lu Pinhong’s reputation was quite strong, and others would recognize her, but you were recognized among the crowd.
A careless person can spot it at a glance.
