(An explanation is given to a friend's question: One stone in the Song Dynasty was about 58 kilograms, refer to "Mengxi Bitan". Historical books clearly record that Yue Fei can draw three stones with both hands! Therefore, don't be doubtful about the three stone strong bow.)

On May 1st, it turns sunny to cloudy.

In the morning, Li Luo and I presided over the payment of spring military pay. The soldiers were two staples, two staples, half staples, three staples, six staples, and five staples of the team. The two chief coaches of Duliewutu each had ten staples.

A total of 392 people were in charge of the military pay, including 300 local chariots and 92 private soldiers and personal guards.

A total of 838 jin of spring military pay was paid this time. Everyone was very happy and the army was excited.

May 2nd, sunny and light wind.

I got information early in the morning that Ding Qi, a village official in Xiwan Township, obeyed Li Luo's orders and even instructed the usury tribe members to force the borrowers to sign a yin-yang contract, and threatened the borrowers not to disclose it, intending to get away with it.

I told Li Luo that Li Luo was furious and immediately confiscated Ding Qi's village seal and removed Ding Qi's village chief position on the spot.

Ding Qi's tribe members who were usury were whipped twenty times, burned the loan contract, and imposed a fine of one hundred jin to repair water conservancy.

In the afternoon, I received information again. Zheng Wuchen, another village in Xiwan Township, privately connected with wealthy families in the village, intending to jointly resist Li Luo's order to donate money to repair water conservancy.

After Li Luo found out, he confiscated Wu Chen's seal on the grounds of "inciting resistance to politics" and removed his post as the village chief.

Within one day, the two village officials were removed, and the village officials were suddenly frightened.

Li Luo's public expectations rose again.

At dusk, the third sea ship also arrived, spending another 1,500 stag.

After I calculated, three large ships cost 4,500 guan, more than 800 guan, as well as low-interest loans, water conservancy repairs, other procurements, etc., and they spent more than 6,000 guan in just a few days!

Li Luo's 9,000 stakes of bone porcelain were burned in a blink of an eye.

"The head of the family, madam, the old man invited him to come over and said there was something important to discuss."

At noon on May 2, a maid who was responsible for taking care of Yan Duo's daily life came to report.

Li Luo and Cui Xiuning had already guessed what was going on and rushed to Yan Duo's residence immediately.

"Wait until the rest, the first batch of immigrants finally gathered together. They left behind the wheat that was about to be harvested and only brought some agricultural tools and clothing."

Yan Duo smiled and said as soon as he saw the two of them, and handed over several letters to Li Luo.

This is the reply from several Yan Duo's subordinates back then. The letter said that after receiving the order from the wolf master, he began to mobilize. Now more than 1,800 tribes scattered in Xikaidao have been contacted and planned to gather on the other side of the sea on May 4th to wait for the ship.

These Jurchen refugees who had already planted wheat and were waiting for harvesting did not hesitate to abandon their families and fields to decide to immigrate, which shows Yan Duo's appeal.

Of course, the reason why they left smoothly without anyone was also related to the crops they had not harvested. In the eyes of the Goryeo people, wouldn’t it be cheap for them to stop them? Isn’t it stupid to stop them?

Li Luo said happily: "Don't worry, I will compensate them for the crops they lost."

Yan Duo said: "They will be scattered at five ports across the strait tomorrow to wait for the ship. Can they be picked up in one day?"

Cui Xiuning said: "Don't worry, these five ports can only be received in one day," said Cui Xiuning, "Don't worry, these five ports are only a hundred miles in a row."

Yan Duo said again: "Those three big ships have also been seen by their fathers. They are really not small, but this time there are more than 1,800 people. Can they be installed?"

Li Luo smiled and said, "It's totally enough, more than enough. In addition, Xiuning and I have prepared a lot of seeds, agricultural tools, medicinal materials, pig iron, firewood and other things. We even purchased a lot of Artemisia wormwood."

Yan Duo said strangely: "What do you buy this artemisia for?"

Cui Xiuning explained: "It is for the treatment of malaria."

Yan Duo nodded and asked again. He didn't understand medicinal materials and was not interested. He said: "You were asked by Laojun to dream of you and decided to go out to sea on May 5 to find property. Will you go with the immigrants this time?"

Li Luo said: "Let's go together. Four hundred troops took away two hundred, and another two hundred guarded the fort."

Yan Duo said: "Then you will feel at ease for your father."

…………

Just as the sky was dawn on May 4, two large sea boats left Xiwan Township Harbour and headed towards the other strait. In addition to Li Luo, Yan Duo also accompanied him.

At nine o'clock in the morning, I arrived at the port where the first immigrants gathered, and there were three or four hundred men, women, young and old looking there.

When they saw the big ship appear and when they saw Yan Duo waving his hand at the bow, everyone was immediately excited.

Li Luo quickly arranged personnel to organize the boat. Three or four hundred people arrived on the deck, and the first thing they did was to bow to Yan Duo.

"Wolf Lord..."

"Your Highness..."

"marshal……"

Many people started crying on the spot, and Yan Duo also shed tears and personally helped up an old man in his seventies.

The old man called Yan Duo "Your Highness", and seemed to be a retainer of Yan Duo's royal family back then.

The two people who call Marshal are over 60 years old, and they should be Yan Duo's personal guards in the Marshal's Mansion back then.

Except for these three old people, everyone else called the Wolf Lord. Most of these people were young and strong, of course, born after the demise of the Jin Dynasty, but followed Yan Duo to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty.

These nearly 400 people have two common characteristics: one is that they have pale faces, thin skin, and their faces are pale and slim, and their clothes are worn and shabby. The other is that most of them are tall and have a firm look, which is very different from the gentle and smooth Korean people.

Li Luo observed it and found that at least fifty or sixty men were elite soldiers.

Yan Duo didn't say much, and directly introduced Li Luo: "He is Li Luo, my adopted son, and he will be your wolf lord in the future..."

Everyone was mentally prepared and bowed to Li Luo one after another, calling him the wolf master, very respectful.

Li Luo said he was exempted from gifts, and personally helped several older elders up, and then said some encouragement words, promised the benefits, and gave everyone peace of mind.

At noon, hundreds of people were picked up at another port.

By dusk, the crowds waiting at the fifth port were also picked up on the ship.

At this point, more than 1,800 people boarded the ship, and the two large ships were almost full.

"Drive back to Mani!" With Li Luo's order, the newly recruited sailors broke down and returned to Jianghua Island.

Li Luo was a little happy. These more than 1,800 Jurchen remnants were enough to produce two or three hundred elite soldiers.

The remaining people went to Baodao and would be able to produce the food, weapons and supplies he needed next year.

…………………

On May 5, the weather was indeed clear. After some arrangement, a fleet of four sea boats sailed away from Jianghua Island and floated south by wind and waves.

The three large sea boats carried more than 1,800 Jurchen refugees. The medium sea boat I bought a few months ago carried two hundred private soldiers and village warriors.

Li Luo, Cui Xiuning, and Yan Duo all went to sea. Only Du Lie and Wu Tu were left behind in the fort, responsible for continuing to train the remaining 200 township warriors to defend the attack of pirates.

Most of the day later, the fleet arrived at a nameless island and stopped the ship.

There are seven Jurchen men who can raise horses on this island and have been guarding this island for three months.

The three-month mission of these seven people was to take care of the fifty war horses seized from Liu Chengqin and Turnuma after the ambush of the Red Pine Forest.

At this time, all fifty war horses lost weight, and almost all the leaves and grass on the island were gnawed by them.

Seven horse-raising men came on board with fifty war horses, and then they breathed a sigh of relief. In the past three months, they were worried about being discovered by pirates and their horses were stolen.
