Chapter 1063

After hearing these words from the shadow guard, Huangfu Chaobo was really relieved and asked, "have the personnel and materials for Lingshan Island been arranged?"

Chen Xiang, the county magistrate, said: "we are ready. All the goods have been loaded. We can set sail only when our Lord arrives. But our Lord has been at sea for many days. Do you want to have a rest in Qingdao for two days before setting out?"

Huangfu Chaobo shook his head: "we can't wait any longer. Time doesn't wait for us. Zhou Yi, let's get the water army ready to go! In addition, even if the Langya army has retreated, you still need to be careful to guard against the sudden attack of the Langya army. "

"Don't worry, my Lord. We must be careful and don't dare to slack off at all!" They all responded together;

an hour later, the fleet set out again, and the navy of the three schools escorted ten ships to the southeast of Lingshan island.

Huangfu Chaobo felt that he was the boss of a big group in reality. He was on a business trip all day, inspecting this subsidiary and that subsidiary. He was always on the run.

A few days later, the fleet arrived at Lingshan island safely. To Huang Fu's surprise, although Lingshan island is not small, it is far from the base suitable for building a camp as he imagined. The whole Lingshan island is indeed not small. Looking up from the bow of the boat, most of the island is covered by mountains. There is only a long beach near the west coast. The widest place is estimated to be only one or two miles. It is distributed along the west coast. Depending on the situation, it is estimated that one or two small towns can be built.

"Zhouyi, is the only place suitable for the construction of Lingshan island's territory the West Beach? Can you tell us more about the situation on the island? " Huangfu Chaobo asked with a disappointed face to Zhou Yi beside him;

"Lord Hui, although Lingshan island is not small, the only place that is really suitable for building territory is the seaside in the West. The middle and east of the island are covered by mountains and forests, and there are cliffs in the East. There is no place for ships to dock." Zhou Yi bowed himself to answer;

Huangfu was greatly disappointed. He only remembered that the area of Lingshan island was large enough, but he forgot that Lingshan island was the highest island in the north of China, and its forest coverage rate had reached 70%, making it a rare "sea Oasis" in northern waters of China. It seems that the idea of building a naval base on Lingshan island will be defeated.

Looking at his disappointment, Zhou Yi hesitated for a moment and made up his mind. He said, "my Lord, I will have an idea. I don't know whether to speak or not?"

Huangfu Chaobo looked at Zhouyi and said, "if you have anything to say, you can say it."

"Yes Zhou Yi bowed his fist and said: "the last general knows that the Lord is going to build the base of the Navy on the sea, so that Qingdao and Shuanghe will not be controlled by others. However, the situation of Lingshan island is not suitable to be used as a base of the Navy, but is more suitable to be used as a transit and rest station for a navy and fleet. If it comes to establishing bases, there is another place that is more suitable. "

Huangfu Chaobo heard the spirit of a boost: "where?"

"In fact, the Lord also knows," he said. Zhou Yi reached out and pointed to the South: "yuzhoushan island! His subordinates have been in and out of yuzhoushan island for many years. They have talked with Yang Hu and sun Lang several times. They know that yuzhoushan island is much bigger than Lingshan Island, and it is more suitable for building large territory on it. If it can be developed, it will be several times better than Lingshan Island. "

Huangfu Chaobo was overjoyed. Yes, Lingshan island is not good, but yuzhoushan island is absolutely suitable. It is about 20 Li long from northeast to southwest and less than 10 Li wide from northwest to Southeast. The mountains on the island are undulating, and there are several mountains about hundreds of feet high. On the mountain, the forest is dense, and the terrain is high in the northeast and low in the southwest. To the East, there is a large flat land several miles around. Moreover, judging from the whole topography of yuzhoushan Island, which was sent back in the past, there is a valley in the middle of the island, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people. In this way, the island was left vacant because it didn't have enough population, but now it doesn't worry about population.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo said: "yes, it's worthy of being the chief General of the first army. I already have some overall view. Good

After listening to Huangfu Chaobo's praise, Zhou Yi blushed with embarrassment. However, Chang's face went in and out on the sea, but it was hard to see the change on his face which had been a little dark red.

"You immediately send people back to Qingdao and order them to be ready to select 20000 people from Qingdao. Remember, let them choose the whole family, and then in addition to those who can grow food, there will also be those who are good at water. You know, when the time comes, you should give priority to those who are good at water."

"No!"

"In addition to these, all the craftsmen needed to upgrade the territory to the county town are complete. By the way, let old Guo tou take his family Guo Da or Guo ER and lead dozens of boatmen to follow him to build the dock of yuzhoushan. When Qingdao dock is removed, let old Guo and all of them go to the dock of yuzhoushan."

"What's more, after your fleet sent us to the island, they immediately sailed back to Qingdao to meet the 20000 people and come to Lingshan island to join us. At that time, we will go to Yuzhou mountain together."

After hearing this, Zhou Yi was overjoyed. With the size and conditions of yuzhoushan, it was easy to build a county with tens of thousands of people. Moreover, yuzhoushan could also build a dock large enough to serve as a naval dock. Everything was ready. At once, he said, "the last general will take orders and send all the master and his party to Lingshan island. Then the last general will lead the Navy back to Qingdao to meet the fleet."Just at this time, the signal came from the sentry ship, and the fleet began to dock and prepare to land on the island. Seeing this, Huangfu Chaobo waved to Zhou Yi and said, "go and arrange the personnel to land on the island as soon as possible, and set out as soon as possible. By the way, in addition to this, you ask the shadow guard of Qingdao city to send a pigeon letter to Yuzhou mountain, so that they can make preparations early, so that more than 20000 people will not arrive, I'm in a hurry again. "

Zhou Yi was ordered to leave.

It took more than half a day for all the personnel and materials to be delivered to the island. After the first group of craftsmen got off the ship, Huangfu Chaobo also boarded Lingshan island under the escort of hundreds of soldiers from Tiebi camp.

As Huangfu Chaobo had expected, the broadest part of the island from the seaside wharf to the foot of the mountain was only a mile, less than two miles away. It would be difficult to build a medium-sized town. Fortunately, now Huangfu Chaobo has no idea of this, just build a transit base here.
