Winter in the north is also a bit cold for the south, but for the shipyard built by Li Mingda, this situation will not have a big impact on the construction of warships.

A closed dock was carefully built, and the bamboo charcoal stove was hollow, with low-quality iron pipes connected to the outside to circulate within the dock. In order to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, flues and other supporting facilities were also installed.

In this era, a huge steel and concrete shipyard with heating facilities was a means only available to ordinary people. In addition, Mingzun Holy Missionaries were stationed in the shipyard and Pang Tong, Cai Mao, and Gan Ning strongly supported it. The entire shipyard and

The East China Sea Fleet has begun to vigorously promote and spread the faith of Li Mingda.

In the shipyard, there are hundreds of statues of Li Mingda in every dock. There are hundreds of statues of Li Mingda in large and small sizes. When eating, drinking, resting and working, everyone should say the words "Mingzun Sheng'an, Mingzun bless..."

With the support of faith and financial resources, there are more and more skilled workers in the entire shipyard, and the construction speed is getting faster and faster. The annual construction speed has accelerated from the original 20 ships to 23 ships. This is only under high standards of construction.

If it were relaxed a little more it would be more.

In Pang Tong's camp, Gan Ning and Cai Mao gathered together.

Cai Hao took a sip of water and said, "This is the first time I feel so relaxed since I started training navy troops."

Pang Tong: "Isn't that right? Things in Yangzhou have been sorted out."

Gan Ning was unhappy: "When you have some free time, I'll be busy."

Pang Tong asked Gan Ning: "How is the training of the fleet? At the turn of spring and summer next year, we will almost send troops to the Japanese island country."

Gan Ning patted his heart and chest: "You guys are all good, don't worry, we will definitely achieve the goal expected by our lord."

Pang Tong: "Don't be careless"

Gan Ning: "No care, the Datang navy has followed the Lord's setting and has not slackened off over the years. It has killed all the Japanese pirates who need to come to the Tang Dynasty and has obtained a lot of information. Please show me these battle reports."

Pass"

Pang Tong: "I see, then what do you think?"

Gan Ning rubbed the knife on his waist: "Although the confrontation is also improving, it is far behind our Tang Dynasty. The only thing that makes us passive is that it is far away from the Tang Dynasty, which is inconvenient for logistical supplies. The lord's new sailboat solves the problem.

There are a lot of problems. The rest depends on the sky.”

Cai Hao interjected: "The thing my lord is most in need of is God's will!"

When Cai Mao said this, the three of them looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

Indeed, as Li Mingda, this kind of providence is really nothing to worry about.

After the cleanup of the Yangzhou area was completed, Qingfeng and Pang Tongyi agreed to take over the north-south smuggling business with the approval of Emperor Li Mingda. The task was still handed over to Xu Sihai, in order to get to know the details of the northern family.

At the same time, they did not give up the attack on the south. Most of the southern salt comes from Jingyan, the land of Jingyan in Sichuan. Qingfeng continued to send people to chase it. For a while, the goods were not received. Then Lonely Yan went south and brought the Black Dragon Society. The Black Dragon Society

It is a power that completely walks in the dark. It is much easier to deal with this kind of business that is itself in the dark.

The Black Dragon Society continued to clean up the smuggling network and followed the clues they obtained according to their own code of conduct. Most of the time, wherever they went, money was used to bridge the gap.

When encountering problems, the Black Dragon Club will adhere to what Li Mingda likes to do the most, letting them know what it means to be sharp and your head to be strong. My head is stronger than yours.

Under the reckless behavior of the Black Dragon Society, the idlers or members of small gangs who were smuggling goods and other channels were attracted to it.

Then, under the plan of Li Ru, these small men in the industry who were familiar with the road, the Black Dragon Society, a cross-river dragon, completed the work of penetrating into the south.

Jia Xu seems to be winning easily, but it is not easy at all. There are many tribes in the west, and they often go around behind the scenes with nobles and princes from aristocratic families, especially in order to obtain salt and grain, which is even more disturbing.

Fortunately, Li Mingda and Murong Xue have reorganized and divided the Xianbei tribes and Turkic tribes in the west, especially in Tuyuhun, over the years, and vigorously supported the tribes loyal to Murong Xue and close to the Tang Dynasty, turning the largest powerful person in this land into

own.

So much so that caravans flying the flag of the Tang Dynasty or the flag of Murong Xue's personal machete, white snow and fox, would receive adequate treatment.

In fact, the northwest is not poor. Especially during the Tang Dynasty, desertification was not a little better than it would be a thousand years later. Many places were covered with green.

Apart from the nomadic living habits, the reason for desolation is that the rest is just a mess.

too messy.

This is not only the constant dispute between nomadic tribes, but also an important channel for war horses and smuggling of salt and iron.

Therefore, many distinguished princes from aristocratic families will invest enough funds and personnel here. It is generally said that the emperor cannot intervene if he does not have enough strength.

Li Mingda was having trouble here with a local domineering and powerful white fox named Murong Xue, so he controlled the place quite well, especially when he followed the Tubo to fight, so this area had a strong force, which was better.

The disadvantage is that Yuyu has many soldiers, and it is easy for those people to attract breakthroughs. Yuyu lives his life by licking the blood. After catching the evidence, in order to prevent the dog from jumping over the wall, it is a bit difficult to suppress it. If it is not handled well, it will become

The imperial court wants to take advantage of the border troops, and if a mutiny breaks out, there will be big trouble.

As if it was more difficult, Li Mingda chose to let Jia Xu, the White Tiger, lead the Black Dragon Society and the Jin Yiwei Bai Qisi through this muddy water.

Jia Xu was also experienced and good at planning, and he used various methods in an endless stream. He soon opened a gap in the west. The giant dragon of the Black Dragon Society forced its way into the underground world of the west and began its own rise.

The north is not an easy place to go out either. The aristocratic families and noble princes all have their own territory here, and there are also many Turks mixed in. Lonely Hong, an old-school intelligence officer second only to Jia Xu and Li Ru, has no idea how well he can control the information in the north.

of proficiency.

Lonely Hong also lived up to his expectations and led his troops to gain a firm foothold with the help of the information he controlled and began his own conquest.

This area of ​​Eastern Shandong, Jiangsu, and Hebei belongs to Bai Yujing. As the number one Holy Knight No. 108 in the Holy Army, he brought a few useful people with him, and then went there with his troops.

Li Mingda also likes Bai Yujing's style. Anyway, I don't care which family you belong to or who you hang out with, I will go directly to your door and crush them with force. If you want to use the power of official uniform, I'm sorry.

My uncle is much tougher than you backstage.

Soon more and more protective umbrellas disappeared, and there was a rough guess as to who Bai Yujing and his party were paving the way. They were either upstarts or noble princes from established aristocratic families taking advantage of the chaos to grab territory.

In the end, this group of people guessed that Li Mingda's new generals were joining forces to seize the territory. As if their opponents were powerful generals, they wisely moved out of the way.

These are all fine, the little fairies in the pass are the happiest.
