With the acquisition of two important islands, Zhao Ran immediately sent the first batch of warships that had just been completed in Longqing's three-year shipbuilding plan to Chen Shandao - even the training sessions for newcomers and new ships were cancelled.
Let the fleet pick up the ship and pick up the newcomers and send them to Yuanjue Island and Daleishan Island for training.
This batch of ships totaled six thousand-material double-deck warships, nine five-hundred-material warships, 16 patrol ships and 24 wind speed ships, as well as more than 2,000 newcomers, including 60 monks.
captain.
The battle line is lengthened, and the more ships and personnel needed, the better. Otherwise, a steady and steady strategy is no different from an airbag that bursts at the first glance.
The inspection fleet's occupation of Yuanjue Island and Daleishan Island sent an important signal. Daomen finally took the first step in its maritime strategy. It was an extremely strong deterrent to all maritime forces.
The one who was most shocked was Luoye Island.
Starting from Daleishan Island, passing through Linbo Island and Songmao Island, the next step is Luoye Island. This route is very clear, and almost any seafarer can understand it.
The fleet command did not hide anything, and publicly declared on many occasions that the fleet's next goal is to continue to establish a forward base on Luoye Island.
Liang Xiaoyou accepted Taoist Tingfeng's request and rushed to Yuanjue Island with Yang Xianxian to meet Chen Shandao.
Chen Shandao answered his three questions.
First, the inspection fleet’s next action goal is indeed to station at the Three Luoye Islands;
Second, the Three Luoye Islands must return to the control of the Ming Dynasty, but the Taoist sect recognizes the ownership of the islands by Tingfeng Taoists, and the authority refers to the ownership of the mountain by various individual cultivating sects and aristocratic families. The premise is that Luoye Island actively cooperates with the inspection fleet's stationing.
and assist in all subsequent operations of the fleet;
Third, the fleet's stationing time depends on the preparations on Yuanjue Island and Daleishan Island, and it should be no later than the end of August or the beginning of September.
After receiving this reply, Yang Xianxian immediately rushed back to Luoye Island.
While the maritime strategy was advancing in an orderly manner, Zhao Ran was taking care of various affairs while still worrying about Tong Baimei's matter.
Tong Baimei was detained for fifteen days for disrupting the order of the sermon and ordered to write a letter of repentance. However, he has been detained for two months and has not been released yet. The reason is simple: he refuses to write a letter of repentance.
Until now, Lingji Palace is in a bit of a dilemma. Wei Chaozong regrets a little. At that time, he shouldn't have added the option of writing a letter of repentance. But now it's better. He is simply in a dilemma.
Tong Baimei is a disciple of Chu Yangcheng, and he is also a member of the Jade Emperor Pavilion. Although his relationship with Chu Yangcheng and Zhu Qigu is a bit tense, his identity is here, and the Jade Emperor Pavilion cannot sit idly by all the time.
reason.
Dongfang Jing finally couldn't help but send a flying talisman to Zhao Ran. He knew the whole story and asked Zhao Ran directly what he should do.
Zhao Ran replied distressedly: "Everyone doesn't know what to do now. Wei Chaozong has also talked to me many times and is almost at a loss. Lingji Palace has issued an order to deal with him. It's not good to take it back and eat it yourself."
But even if he doesn’t write a letter of repentance, Lingji Palace can’t use any means against him, and everyone will have a headache.”
Dongfang Jingdao: "How about our Jade Emperor Pavilion write a letter of guarantee to give an explanation to Dongji Pavilion?"
Zhao Ran thought for a while and replied: "Senior Brother Jing, can you guarantee that he will not cause trouble after he comes out?"
Dongfang Jing said: "We can't guarantee it. If we make trouble again, we'll arrest you again. As someone who is in charge of general affairs, I can still do my job."
Zhao Ran understood what Dongfang Jing meant. As the chief deacon of the Yuhuang Pavilion, Dongfang Jing could not just watch someone in the sect being detained and ignore it. He had to show his attitude by running around to get the person out.
As for after being fished out, if Tong Baimei commits another crime and enters the palace for the second time, the pressure on him will not be so great.
This is also a way to kill two birds with one stone. Wei Chaozong must also be happy. When Tong Baimei enters the palace, the judgment issued can be adjusted in time to avoid such embarrassment.
The only troublesome thing is Zhao Ran, who has to deal with Tong Baimei's continued entanglement.
Jade Emperor Pavilion wrote a letter of guarantee, which was signed by Dongfang Jing himself and sent to Lingji Palace.
Wei Chaozong ordered them to be released. Tong Baimei burped, drunkenly came out of the prison, and sneered: "Can't survive it? You will not get any good rewards if you help the tyrants do evil! Everyone in the world is watching to see that you can do whatever you want.
when!"
Wei Chaozong unfolded the letter of guarantee written by Yuhuang Pavilion: "Written by Qingcheng Mountain, in order to save you, the sect has put down its face. Think about it after you go out, and don't let Huang Ting be humiliated again."
Tong Baimei looked at the document displayed in Wei Chaozong's hand, snorted loudly, and quickly walked out of Lingji Palace. At the palace gate, she met an old man with white beard and hair, and was stunned: "Yuan Protector..."
Yuan Yangbin, the great master of the Jade Emperor Pavilion, sighed: "Bai Mei, come back to the mountain with me. If you have any questions, let's talk about it back to Qingcheng Mountain. My apprentice is not up to par, so no one else can blame him..."
Tong Baimei said nothing, lowered his head and passed by Yuan Yangbin. Yuan Yangbin cupped his hands at Wei Chaozong and went to catch up with Tong Baimei.
After the two men left, Wei Chaozong reprimanded Taoist Tiger Feeder who was in charge of guarding the boy Baimei: "Why didn't you collect his wine gourd? You let him drink like this in prison. You are derelict in your duty!"
Taoist Taoist Tiger Feeder felt aggrieved: "Envoy, didn't you tell me not to deprive him of food and clothing?"
Wei Chaozong said angrily: "Next time, I will have some snacks and stop drinking for a few days. I will have already written a letter of repentance!"
After the double cultivation in the evening, Zhao Ran told Rong Niang about this. Rong Niang rested her head lazily on Zhao Ran's arm, scratched his chest with her fingers, and asked: "Will he still trouble you?"
? If it doesn't work, I'll find two juniors to pick him out. There are ways to deal with people like him who like to get drunk. If you just provoke him at the right time, he will definitely cause trouble. Then invite some uncles
Take action and escort him directly to Dongji Pavilion, escort him to Guyun Road, and ban him for three to five years to see how he can cause trouble for you."
Zhao Ran shook his head: "No, there was a relationship twenty years ago."
"You don't accept affection, but others may not. Besides, he is a great alchemist and a drunkard. I'm really afraid that he will hurt you in the heat of the moment. By then it will be too late to say anything."
"Is your husband that weak? He can hurt me on impulse?"
"Master Refiner, do you still want to challenge across the border? Do you know how difficult it is?"
"Let me tell you a secret. It has been two years since your husband entered the realm of alchemy."
"I know, so what? Has it been consolidated?"
"It's been two years, hehe, it's almost complete."
"impossible!"
"What's impossible? You know that I practice meritorious deeds."
"Cultivation of merit also requires refining and refining. Do you have that much? You just contributed twice."
