Chapter 167 Duli Town Cat Island

The whole process entered the largest wooden house and sat down with the guest and host.

Whitebeard looked at Li Jing carefully again and said with a smile: "Seeing General Li's spirit, it seems that the entire army of one-eyed Jiaoshamen Town was wiped out. Even his own entry was cut off by the general himself, but it was not a rumor, but a truth."

"Don't be so polite. Just call me brother or Ji Yu." Li Jing sat in the chief on the left, which was the most honorable VIP seat. "I also want to thank the leaders for sending troops to me." As he said that, Li Jing got up, picked up the wine pot on the table and poured a glass of wine, and toasted the Whitebeard.

"Haha, I said don't be polite, you'll be polite right away." The white beard bent over happily and took the wine glass, saying with a smile on his face, "I believe that if we asked the general for help, the general would definitely not refuse."

"This is naturally, our brotherly covenant was witnessed by Shangyao. If you are in need of my actions, you will naturally have no choice but to do so!"

Whitebeard nodded and said solemnly: "It is related to our brotherly covenant. We have no choice but to send troops! Those who dare to rob our friends in Zhendonghai will inevitably be punished. At the cost of bleeding, you can't escape unscathed!"

"Hand up for your brothers!" Hongbei smiled heartily, "Brother's enemy is our enemy. Feng Zhang actually dared to secretly rob your goods, that is our enemy."

"Thank you very much for your generous help. I'm really a little bit." Li Jing got up and toasted a few times to Baibei. The wine was bitter and hard to swallow. Li Jing guessed that it could be drunk with wheat. The degree was not high. The wine was turbid yellow, full of fermentation. Although the degree was not high, the taste was very strong. He couldn't help but miss the high-level liquor he had just brewed in Shamen Town. He originally planned to brew a batch of high-level liquor to make medical wine.

ing, used as first aid, disinfection and debridement on the battlefield. However, as soon as this wine came out, Lin Wu, Wang Chong and other good wines were fascinated by the inclusion. Although the wine was extremely strong, these wines were as sweet as you would. In the end, Li Jing had to open two wine shops, one specializing in brewing super-high wines to make medical wines. The other was used to brew liquor with a slightly lower degree, that is, as a supply of senior officers. On the other hand, he was also preparing to sell these wines to create a channel of income for Shaman Island.

Seeing that several big pirates were having a lot of fun drinking such bitter wine, Li Jing waved his hand quickly, and Zhang Chengzong immediately stood up and took out two small jars of five kilograms from the backpack he brought in.

Li Jing took it, reached out to pat the Kaifeng mud, and a mellow fragrance suddenly burst out from the altar and filled the entire tent.

Whitebeard couldn't help but sniff hard, his expression trembled.

"Dear masters, this is a little gift I offer to you."

Several pirate leaders were already so eroded by the smell of the wine that they quickly called a pirate guard to pour wine. The wine was so clear that it was not turbid. Looking at the wine that was clearer than the spring water, the strong fragrance, the few people were amazed. Take a sip, and the wine entered his throat, and a hot feeling suddenly surged, and the whole blood seemed to be ignited. Whitebeard drank a lot of the first sip of wine, and the strong aura almost made him unable to bear it, and his red face turned red. He sniffed a long sip of wine, and Whitebeard shook his head and sighed loudly: "It's great!"

"What kind of wine is this? Why have I never drunk or smelled it? It's so delicious. The wine is clear and mellow, and the xing is even stronger. Such wine is the wine that the man in the martial arts world who is licking blood at the tip of a knife should drink." The red bearded and others praised it.

"After three thousand years, Wuliangye has become jade liquid." Li Jing said with a smile, "This wine is called Wuliangye wine, a typical representative of the strong-flavored Daqu wine. It collects the spiritual energy of the earth and enters the ground, uses traditional craftsmanship to select high-quality sorghum, glutinous rice, rice, wheat and millet. It has a unique style of "long-standing aroma, mellow taste, sweet taste, clean and refreshing in the mouth, harmonious and just right", and is an outstanding product among today's wine products."

"I often call myself a drunken person, but why have I never heard of the name of Wuliangye?"

"I'm not hiding the leaders of the country. In fact, this wine is a new specialty in my Shamen Town. The jar of wine I drank is the first batch of fine wines in the winery. Now if you don't want to drink it, you don't have the chance to drink it. I happened to come to visit the leaders of the country and brought it to you to taste it first."

I couldn't help but drink a few glasses. Although this wine is stronger than ordinary wine, it shows the alcohol capacity when I put it in a few glasses.

"This wine is really a good wine. The best wine I have ever drunk before is Jiannan Shaochun wine, the fine wine in Shu. The second should be Sanleju, the fine wine from the Western Regions. And the Persian grape wine, which is also good. But when I drink this Wuliangye, I know what it means to be a good wine and what is the first strong wine. Brother Li, you let your brother drink this wine today, how can you swallow other wines in the future?" Huang Huzi and Li Jing were the most familiar, so he immediately asked for it.

Li Jing smiled, "This time I came here, I only brought a hundred jars of Wuliangye, each jar of five pounds and five taels, just one bucket of wine. From now on, I will definitely give you this wine to you regularly, how about it!"

"Okay, it's so refreshing. It's true that I'm my brother. Come on, let's have another bowl." A jar of fine wine immediately brought Li Jing's friendship with the heads of Zhendonghai a big step closer.

A jar of Wuliangye, which was five pounds and five ounces, was drunk within a short while, and the other jar was opened quickly, and then I drank 1,200 pounds soon. In addition to the four leaders in Donghai, Wuzhong Town, there were also two Wenlin who looked like a dog-headed military advisor. Li Jing's Xiao family stayed outside, only him, Wang Chong and Liu Shouqian, Wang Chengzong, Li Wei and Wang Shi, twelve, and drank about eleven pounds of wine. The degree of this batch of wine was all high in fifty degrees. On average, each of them had about one pound and more.

Li Jing was a little dizzy when he drank, but when he saw the white beard and his face was flushed, his eyes became more and more spiritual. Wang Shiqian drank crisply and lay down. Fortunately, Liu Shouqian and Zhang Chengzong both had great alcohol tolerance, so Li Wei could not underestimate him, and he was still full of energy.

Seeing that they were going to drink again, Li Jing quickly stopped him.

He came by more than 120 miles by sea, but he didn't really come just to fight for wine.

"A few leaders, please change your money and drink it again. After our affairs are completed successfully, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman. What if I don't get drunk? Now, let's talk about that batch of goods. What's going on?"

Reply to Li Jing's red beard, "All this is going well so far. As soon as we received the letter from our second brother, we immediately sent a scout first, and we arrived later. We have checked according to the information you said, and the goods are on Cat Island."

According to the introduction of Red Beard, the southernmost end of the Liaodong Peninsula is Duli Town. Duli Town is not a military town, but a place name. Li Jing knew that the Jin Dynasty was named "Ma Shijin", the Tang Dynasty called "Duli Town", and the Yuan Dynasty called "Shizikou", which was changed to Lushun in the Ming Dynasty, and then it has been passed down from generation to generation.

Duli Town is an important place, the landing point from Dengzhou to Liao. It is also an important supply point for the largest sea route in the northern part of the Tang Dynasty, Dengzhou, Goryeo and Bohai Road. From Dengzhou to Liaodong, you must log in through Duli Town, and from Dengzhou to Silla, Riben, and Duli Town are also a must pass. Duli Town is very prosperous and a real trading port. Especially after the Anshi Rebellion, due to the surrender and verdict of the Hebei vassal state, it was almost in a state of separatism, the imperial court had to move the Pinglu Festival in Yingzhou, western Liaoning, which was isolated outside the pass, to Qingzhou, Shandong.

Later, the Bohai Kingdom emerged, and the Khitan and Xi continued to rise. Although the Tang Dynasty had Liaodong but could not be governed, the Andong Protectorate was finally abolished, and Liaodong completely became an enclave that was nominally subordinate, but in fact it could no longer be controlled.

After the Tang Dynasty withdrew from Liaodong, the vassal states in Youzhou, Hebei, fought with the Khitan Corridor for a long time and were also unable to take into account the Liaodong Peninsula. The Bohai Kingdom had the strongest power in Haidong and even crossed the sea to attack Dengzhou. However, later the Tang Dynasty had friendly exchanges with the Bohai Sea for generations. The Bohai Kingdom took into account the power of the Tang Dynasty and decided to expand eastward for a long time, and competed for territory with Heishui Mo, but never stopped expanding in Liaodong. The Bohai Kingdom had the most strength to occupy Liaodong, but took into account the power of the Tang Dynasty and took the initiative to stop strategically east of the Liaodong Peninsula, treating this territory as a buffer zone with the Tang Dynasty, Khitan, Shiwei, Silla and other tribes.

Silla, south of Yalu River, picked up a big advantage in the Tang Dynasty in her early years. After destroying Baekje and Goguryeo with the Tang Dynasty, she took advantage of the Tang Dynasty's war with Tubo and invaded the entire Sanhan Peninsula. After seizing the Sanhan Peninsula, Silla's territory increased significantly, but reached its limit of expansion. In the north, they could only continue to build the Great Wall to resist the powerful Haidong Shengguo Bohai Kingdom, which was unable to get involved in Liaodong.

In such a complex situation, the Goguryeo Kingdom, a land that had ruled for seven hundred years, has become a vacuum zone that all parties ignore in the past century. Gradually, although the surrounding countries did not openly occupy this territory, various factions continued to sneak in secret. To this day, the Han dynasty who had not moved south in the early years, the Goguryeo nobles who had lost their country and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, as well as the Shiwei dynasty, Khitan dynasty, Xi dynasty, and even Sumo dynasty, Hei Shui dynasty, Baekje, Turkic dynasty, and Tielet, and the forces of various races were mixed and fought against each other. Finally, dozens of forces of all sizes were formed, occupying territories of different sizes.

Duli Town is a piece of land occupied by Tang Ru. To be precise, Duli Town is a force formed by many Tang Dynasty maritime merchant groups, and a force formed in this important place at the southern end of the Liaodong Peninsula. They united and occupied this land with armed guards. On the basis of the original Port 1ri City, a huge and sturdy fortress port city was built. To this day, Duli Town has more than 500,000 entrances all year round, becoming a super coast port city like Guangzhou.

To the west and north of Duli Town are five islands of different sizes, called the Five Islands of Cats, Snakes, Cows, Tigers, and Pigs. To the north, they are still islands such as deer, rabbits, ants, camels. However, no matter which island it is, due to the prosperous trading port of Duli Town, these islands have now become the private islands of many super-large merchant groups.

And Mao Island is the private island of the Bohai Feng family, the second largest family in Ziqing Town.

Cat Island is also known as Seacat Island and Bird Island. Locally, seabirds are called seacats. Seacats are not cats but birds, so Cat Island is also called Bird Island. Cat Island is only six miles away from the port of Duli Town, and the entire island is only 500 acres. The island is covered with grass and trees, with suitable climate, sufficient rainfall, and many insects. Every autumn, flocks of migratory birds fly south or north to rest and supplement food here. Year after year, the island becomes a must-stop rest stop for them to migrate. The most numerous birds on the island are seagulls, which are lingering birds, that is, they have stayed on the island for a long time. Because the call of this seagull is like a cat, it is called seacats locally, so the name of the island comes from this.

The water depth in the southern part of Cat Island is more than 40 meters, and it is a port of call. Therefore, it is very close to Duli Town, and this island is of great value. The Feng family had occupied this island decades ago. After decades of continuous construction, the island has long become the Feng family's private entrance island. Not only are there many warehouses on the island, but there is also a fortress with a circumference of 200 steps. There are also a 300-entry private guard stationed all year round.

Every time the Feng family's fleet arrives at Duli Town, they dock on Mao Island first and rest on the island.

"The batch of weapons that Feng Zhang robbed you are now hidden in the warehouse of Cat Island." Whitebeard said, "But Cat Island is very cautious, with a strong fortress, and a 300-entry guard team. These intakes are not the most troublesome. There are countless pirates who have wanted to fight Cat Island for decades. But to this day, there has never been a successful entry to capture Cat Island. Twenty years ago, there was a group of famous pirates called Zhensanjiang near Duli Town. On a dark and windy night, they gathered seven or eight nearby pirate fleets, more than 200 ships, and nearly 3,000 pirates sneak attack Cat Island. In that battle, the escort of Cat Island was beaten to pieces and flowing water, nearly half of them died in battle, and only a few retreated to the castle."

"But in this case, the less than a hundred escorts resisted the attacks of thousands of pirates with the castle, crossbow bed, and strong bows and crossbows. Then they set fire and sent a signal to summon the joint fleet of Duli Town. All Zhensanjiang were killed in battle, and most of the thousands of pirates were sank to the bottom of the sea, and only a small part of them successfully escaped in the form of birds and beasts."

Li Jing frowned and said, "In this way, it is almost impossible to capture Cat Island. I can't let several leaders take their brothers to die for me. I think we should do something else with Nianfeng."
