Text Volume Chapter 547 The villa is close to the sea

Xu Shi, who was imprisoned in the dungeon again, did not know that the building where he was imprisoned was the "big house by the sea" that Heifu had promised his wife earlier.

This is a building that Heifu spent millions of dollars to build in Qingdao with his own money. Of course, it cannot be compared with Qin Shihuang's palace, but it is small and exquisite. It has included several courtyards and more than ten houses, whitewashed The wall is set against the green mountains and blue sea, which has a unique mood.

Looking around after coming out, this place faces the sea to the east and Laoshan Mountain to the west. It enjoys the benefits of mountains and seas. It is the first choice area for Qingdao's sea-view mansions in later generations, and the city wall extends to protect it. Not to mention, the surrounding hundreds of acres of beaches and woodland are all private estates designated by the black husband for personal gain. It is early in the morning and covered with bubble-spitting hermit crabs.

"The dream of a villa by the sea actually needs to be traveled through time to realize."

Heifu couldn't laugh or cry, and the manor had just been built. His wife was already nine months pregnant and expecting to give birth in Jimo City. He couldn't come over to take a look, so he arranged for a few retainers to guard the manor. In an instant, a secret prison was built under the manor to imprison Xu Shi. .

With this in mind, Heifu asked his charioteer to drive to Qingdao Port. He was not here to play with Xu Shi, but had a business to inspect the shipbuilding training of the navy master.

Although Qingdao has a short history, it has been favored by Heifu and already has what a seaport should look like: it is located on the headland of Jiaozhou Bay and is divided into two ports: the outer port faces the sea, and the inner port is protected by Jiaozhou Bay. Inside, the headland shields the wind and waves from the outer sea, so the water is calm and can provide a good berth, which is most suitable for shipbuilding and training.

At this moment, the blue water of Jiaozhou Bay is covered with centipede-like boats, including big-winged boats, small-winged boats, turret boats, bridge boats, and more than ten boats with sails and oars lowered, waiting for Governor Heifu. review. Smelling the salty sea breeze, hearing the creaking of wood and ropes, and the shouts of the crew, Heifu felt quite like an admiral.

Of course, he knew this was an illusion. Although these dozens of ships and hundreds of people from Chu Yuelou were deployed here, in principle, they did not listen to Heifu's orders and only obeyed the orders of County Lieutenant Ren Xiaohufu...

Heifu looked at the performance of the boat master, turned around and asked his confidant Gong Ao:

"During the discussions in the county, Jin Bucao proposed that if we wanted to wipe out the pirates and look far away at Canghaijun, Jiuyi, and Korea, we would use Zhifu and Huang counties as the nearest seaports. But I sacrificed the near for the far, and insisted on not being in the south of the county. His county opened up Qingdao Port and allowed people to build ships here. What do you think it is for?"

Heifu likes to test his subordinates from time to time. Chen Ping can always deal with it calmly, and Cao Shen can generally answer the questions correctly. However, although Gong Ao is loyal, he doesn't know much about these things. He touched his bun and said:

"The coastal counties in the north of the county have been invaded. Since the emperor's personal guards left, bandits have begun to appear again. In some areas, it is like entering uninhabited territory. The Lord placed the harbor here to build ships for training, or to avoid Use your edge as a bandit, secretly accumulate strength, and finally accomplish your feat in one battle?"

Heifu shook his head. Although Gong Ao used his brain, it was still far from the real purpose!

In the military, efficiency must be given priority, but in politics, this is not necessarily the case...

Ren Xiao was a county lieutenant appointed by Qin Shihuang. He was transferred to Jiaodong in order to divide the power of Heifu. Of course, Heifu would not confront this person, let alone blatantly seize his military power and tiger talisman. That was a big taboo, but this did not mean that he would give up the decision-making power of the war.

He asked Gong Ao: "You should know when you were in Beidi County, how can the supervisor make the general obey his words and not dare to disobey?"

Gong Ao was stunned: "Control the heavy supply and accumulation?"

"Of course!"

Heifu smiled and said: "When I was in the north, I was a general, but now, I am a county guard. The navy's transportation supplies are nothing more than people, money, grain, and boats. These four items are all provided by the county guard. . The Jimo treasury provided money and food, and I set up Qingdao Port, where I recruited sailors, felled trees and built ships, and became a county lieutenant. From then on, I strangled him tightly, and he did not dare to be disobedient or disrespectful to me!"

This is the only way for the county guard to suppress the county captain. It is a trick that Ye Teng has mastered, and Hei Fu also used it. In essence, he is a very controlling person and cannot bear to be like Zhao Hai, the governor of the Northland County when he conquered the Huns, and just be a bystander in charge of logistics.

The geographical environment of Jiaodong determines that Jimo, the county seat, has insufficient control over the coastal counties in the north of the county. Most of the hills and mountains in the central and northern parts of the county run nearly northeast, while Jimo is located in the Jiaolai Basin in the southern part of the hills, which extends southward to Jiaozhou Bay. So these days, to go from Jimo to Huang County and other places, you have to go east to the seaside first, and then cross the sea. It is not as convenient as going south to Qingdao.

Therefore, the Jiaodong county governor was stationed in Jimo, and the county captain was stationed in Hexian County. In fact, both sides did their own thing.

This is the greatest use of Qingdao Port: to keep Lieutenant Renxiao and the officers and men of the boat division under the control of Heifu! This will increase his voice in this battle to suppress the bandits.

Gong Ao didn't expect this level, and was dumbfounded. After a while, he said: "What about the bandits?"

"Thieves and bandits are nothing to worry about."

But Heifu didn't think the group of pirates along the coast was a big deal. How could he say that? "Since the First Emperor is gone, his remaining power is shocking to the world"! As long as the emperor is around, all opposition to the Qin will be a trivial matter.

The same goes for those remnants who are united. With no one responding, they can only disturb the coast.

The archipelago in the northeast of Jiaodong is not large and can support a small population. The pirates were unable to be self-sufficient and could not even provide enough fresh water every day. Therefore, they had no choice but to find ways to get it from the mainland, either by plundering the Qin Dynasty's Tingshe Township Temple, or by receiving funding from various fields.

"Now that the fields are gone, the bandits have lost a major source of harvest. In my opinion, they may not be able to hold on for long..."

If they can't hold on, they will go ashore to plunder. Once ashore, the Qin army will have the opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

"And what they attacked was nothing more than villages and towns where grain and grass were stored, or the mouths of rivers with water sources, and several newly restored salt works..."

Therefore, Heifu believes that the key to destroying the pirates is not the boat division, but whether the land division can catch the pirates. After annihilating their effective forces, they can then send out a large army to attack the nest with buildings and ships, and then they can be wiped out in one fell swoop!

His main purpose of letting people build ships in Qingdao Port was actually for the future. Just now under Xu Shi's description, the entire northeastern edge of China had clearly appeared in front of Heifu's eyes.

Heifu had no interest in the three thousand miles of barren mountains and rivers, but he was very interested in the tribes and nations gathered there.

Far away from the peninsula, clearing out the Canghaijun, and plundering Jiuyi came to Shandong to supplement the lack of labor force.

Of course, there is a premise for all this, which is the Pinghai bandits and the evil waves of Fudonghai! The meal was stuttering, and Heifu's current power could only reach the small islands off the coast of Jiaodong.

Thinking of this, Heifu asked Gong Ao: "How is Liu Ji doing recently?"

Gong Ao also noticed that Heifu had a special regard for Xu Shi and Liu Ji. He always asked, Xu Shi was already a turtle in the urn. What did Heifu mean, was he afraid that Liu Ji would suddenly run away?

He didn't understand what this meant, so he could only say honestly: "Still on that island, working conscientiously as his general."

That was a new job arranged by Heifu for Liu Ji. On the pretext of defending against pirates and protecting the salt fields, he put him on a small island off the coast of Qingdao to garrison him, and he served as a general...

Liu Ji was also miserable. His fellow villagers Xiao He and Cao Shen were entrusted with official positions, but he was sent away by Hei Fu and refused to take on important tasks. Hei Fu even gave the island a name in a serious way:

"Since you are the Liu family, and you are also called 'Nai Gong', the island you are on should be called Liu Gong Island!"

Hearing that Liu Ji was still staying on the island, Heifu smiled and ignored him for the time being. He ended his trip to Qingdao and was about to return to Jimo. His wife was about to give birth, and Heifu didn't want to Miss the birth of your own child.

Before leaving, Heifu also received a report from Junnan.

"Junjun, Your Majesty has arrived at Langyatai!"

"knew."

Heifu thought, Qin Shihuang didn't know how long he would stay in Langya County. If possible, it would be best to win the first battle against the seaside bandits before he left Qidi.

At this time, there was a sudden strong wind on the beach, and the waves crashed on the shore. The trees on the shore bowed their heads, and the ships in Jiaozhou Bay were shaking. Hei Fu stretched out his hand, felt the wind blowing across the sea, the sky and the earth, and murmured: "The wind is blowing... "
