"Captain, someone is rowing a raft on the island to us."

There were people on the boat watching the situation on the island. Now they saw the raft on the island getting out of the sea, so they hurried to Duan Ping to report.

Duan Ping picked up the monocular lens and looked at the raft on the sea, then said, "Look at the raft closest to us, is that person who went to the island with Guard Xu?"

A sailor next to him walked forward two steps, poked his upper body out of the side of the boat, looked in the direction of the raft for a while, turned around and said, "It's ours."

Duan Ping put away his monocular lens and said, "Tell the people on the boat to be prepared and see what they are going to do?"

There were war soldiers on the ship. When they heard the order, they picked up their weapons and stood on the side of the ship.

As the raft slowly approached the big ship, someone shouted on the raft: "Captain Duan, Guard Xu asked me to come over, saying that he would take the things we brought and put them on the raft, so that the people on the island would take them back."

The person who spoke was the one who went to the island with Xu Xuewu.

Duan Ping said: "I have someone move things out of the cabin. You let their rafts approach one by one, load one raft and then change to another raft."

"Okay." The man on the raft agreed.

Soon, a raft rowed towards the big boat and stopped under the big boat.

Duan Ping looked at the people on the raft and said, "You are waiting below. After a while, the things will be brought up. Someone will hand them over to you. But if you forcefully board the ship, don't blame us for being polite."

The person who rowed the raft was a Liaodong refugee, but a small flag was followed by a boat. He only heard him say, "We will wait below, but don't be foolish, don't forget that your people are still in our hands."

The armor was sent onto the boat board and piled up near the side of the boat. Then a stone of stone grain was moved out of the cabin.

Rafts are not like boats and cannot be waterproof, so Duan Ping only asked someone to send his armor to the raft below, and at the same time said to the people on the raft: "There is still some food on the boat. Your raft cannot be loaded, so it's best to get the boat over."

"You wait."

This time the person who spoke was a general, and the Ming army with the largest official position among the people who came to the sea on a raft this time.

Several rafts were each equipped with some armor and began to row the rafts to deliver them to the island.

Mao Chenglu, who was standing on the shore, looked at the raft on the sea and said, "There are really weapons and armor, and it seems that there are quite a lot of them."

Chen Zhong next to him said thoughtfully: "This tiger-shaped flag is a bit incomprehensible. Merchants are just trying to make money, but this tiger-shaped flag is actually given away our military armor for free. When will the merchants become great charity?"

"You said these soldiers were given away for free?" Mao Chenglu was stunned.

He had been guarding the shore before and did not know the conversation between Xu Xuewu and Mao Wenlong on the island.

Chen Zhong nodded and said, "The man named Xu Xuewu who went to the island told our general that their boss knew that it was not easy for us to be on Pi Island, so he specially sent soldiers and armor and food."

Mao Chenglu said: "I didn't expect that this business name called Huqi is not bad. I know that we are in trouble here on Pi Island and have sent so many practical things, especially military armor, which is what we lack the most now."

"I just don't know what their boss is going to do?" Chen Zhong frowned.

Mao Chenglu smiled and said, "No matter what their ideas are, as long as the things are in the hands of our men, it is impossible to renege again. If you don't believe it, look. As long as the things come ashore, even if they ask for money, my adoptive father will not give them a penny."

Chen Zhong smiled and did not respond.

Because he knew that it was not about whether to give money or not, but that they had no money at all.

The rafts quickly landed, and pieces of armor were moved from the raft by Liaodong refugees on the shore and sent to the raft.

Mao Chenglu walked over, bent down and picked up a knife, pulled it out of the scabbard, looked at the cold light on it, and said to his subordinates beside him: "Take your knife over."

The person next to him handed his knife on it.

Chen Zhong, who was standing beside him, asked: "What are you going to do?"

"Didn't you say that the tiger flag's weapon is good? Let me try it and see which one is better, their sword or the one we use."

As he finished speaking, Mao Chenglu took the new knife he had just received and slashed at the old knife on his other hand.

The two knives collided, hitting a spark, making a harsh sound like a matte.

Mao Chenglu took the two knives away with their left and right hands, first looked at the old knives on their left hand, with a gap on them, and then looked at the new knives on their right hand. The blade was smooth and flat, and there was no damage at all.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but praise him, "It's really a good knife."

As he said that, he threw the old knife in his hand back to his subordinates.

Chen Zhong next to him said: "Two knives cut each other a few more times, and the old knives will definitely be cut off. It seems that the knife with the tiger flag is indeed worthy of its reputation."

"It's indeed a good knife." Mao Chenglu said, "The knife just now was made of Min Iron, not the kind of junk thing from the Ministry of Works."

Chen Zhong looked at the man who took the knife in surprise and said, "Did you hit this knife by yourself?"

The soldiers and armor used by these people were all sent to Liaodong through the Ministry of War, which is what Mao Chenglu mentioned.

"The little one spent fifteen taels of silver to use a knife made by Fujian iron." As he spoke, the man looked at the gap on the blade in pain.

Chen Zhong sighed: "In the past, I just heard that the weapon with the tiger flag is easy to use, but now I know that it is really good. If we all have such a weapon, there will be much greater chances of survival on the battlefield."

"Don't worry, I took a look. These soldiers and armor are enough for more than 200 people. At that time, we will pick a good knife and a good armor each." Mao Chenglu glanced at the soldiers and armor that were moving to the shore.

Chen Zhong said: "With these armors, we can bring up a team of more than 400 people to fight."

Mao Chenglu nodded in agreement.

Although these weapons and armor are only more than 200 pieces, they are all weapons and armored clothes. If they are used separately, they will be more than 400 pieces and can be distributed to more than 400 people.

"Dusi, can you change a knife to the young man? Just that knife just now." The man holding the gap knife aimed at the knife transported to the shore.

"You boy." Chen Zhong cursed with a smile, "Stop thinking about it. Without the general's order, no one can touch these things."

The man looked at the soldiers piled up on the shore with a pity.

Mao Chenglu smiled and said, "You kid used to show off your swords in front of me. Why? I feel itchy when I see someone's sword?"

The man smiled and said, "Who doesn't like such a good knife?"

Mao Chenglu smiled and said, "When the things are delivered to the general, I will ask the general for a knife for you, but the knife you have to hand over. We are short of soldiers and armor in our Pidao, so it is impossible for you to use two swords alone."

"Little understand." The man nodded.

Seeing that the soldiers and armor on the raft were almost moved, Chen Zhong said, "You are here to guard me, I will take these soldiers and armor to see the general first."

"You go!" Mao Chenglu said, "There are still food on the boat to transport it ashore. I'll go see if there are any ships to transport food."

Of course, you can’t use rafts to transport grain anymore, you need to use a boat.
