Not long after February, the weather on Shamen Island was still very cold. The ubiquitous cold wind was whimpering, like a wild dog howling in the wilderness. The cold wind blew across the face like a knife, making people feel painful. No matter how much clothes they were wearing, the cold wind was everywhere, trying to take away the last bit of warmth on people.

Many people who came to watch were holding their hands in their sleeves and hugging them in their arms. Li Yan and other officers were better, wearing armor and fur robes on their faces. However, Li Huier, the spoiled daughters, were not good at all. Although they were wearing luxurious mink robes, mink hats on their heads, and holding a small hand warmer on both hands, they were still cold and purple.

On the contrary, the two women Meghan and Julie don’t look much worn outside. One is still wearing tight leather armor, and the other is a gorgeous and bright but thin long sleeves. But the two sat there quietly, and there was no feeling of freezing at all.

However, compared with these writers, the 300 cavalrymen on the field today performed amazingly. The 264 cavalrymen in the barracks and 36 cavalrymen in the reconnaissance capital were all gathered here today, and they will conduct a three-month training camp.

Three hundred cavalrymen, at this time, one of them was standing on the new training ground where the cold wind was howling, and twelve were in a row, and twenty-five were arranged. All the cavalrymen had changed their new equipment today, each with a set of armor made of cowhide, plus a novel phoenix-winged winged horn with folded armor. They wore leather gloves decorated with iron armor on their hands, and horse boots with spurs on their feet. They were also wearing a fiery red silk cloak with calfs on their shoulders, with a arched back on their left and crossbow on their right back, with a horizontal knife on one side of their waist, Hu Lu on the other side, and an eight-foot cavalry lance hanging on their saddle.

The war horses held by the cavalry are also full of energy today. The clean war horses have been carefully trimmed with horse mane and ponytail. They are four feet tall and have a strong body. They are like tigers and horses like tigers. A good horse with a brand new saddle bridle reins, just looking amazing.

Standing tall, the wind is like a tiger or a dragon. Facing the eyes of many people such as Li Guan, they looked at each other calmly. The eyes were full of passion and desire, which was the desire to make achievements. Li Guan knew that these people were available.

Li Guan glanced at these selected cavalrymen and was filled with joy. He believed that today's three hundred cavalry may be one cavalry officer after another in his cavalry unit in the future. These are all seeds, as long as they are timed, they will become the backbone of the future cavalry.

Baibeard and others glanced at the cavalry below, but their eyes were full of sighs. He had really made up his mind to retreat. In the end, he chose Shamen Town as a place for retirement, which was to take a fancy to Li Guan's future and also to find a good retreat for the brothers in Donghai in Zhen in advance. Since he came to the island, he was amazed at Li Guan and Shamen Town, but today, Li Guan gave him another surprise.

A garrison guarding the island had only 300 soldiers. But he had a solid fortress defense, and his troops were more than ten times more than his troops. But he also brought his two pirate nieces to help him form a fleet. Who would have expected that in the blink of an eye, Li Yan had already formed another cavalry of 300 people, and a marching army on the island had formed three hundred cavalry. What was he trying to do? His eyes were closely scanning the Tiger Warrior, shocking Li Yan again. Where did this young man look at his star-like gaze?

Meghan and Julie have always looked at this cavalry with interest. The cavalry built on the school island was so serious. This made the two of them have a new understanding of Li Yan's ambitions again. Meghan quietly walked behind Li Yan's back and put their hands on Li Yan's shoulders naturally. They did not care about the hesitant gazes of other people.

"I didn't expect you to create such a decent cavalry, and your new fleet would look promising." She deliberately lowered her body a little longer, and almost half leaned against Li Yan. The bulging and torn clothes were pressed tightly against his shoulders. Li Yan could even sensitively feel the two red beans being hard against him.

A warm breath blew up in my ears, and Megan's red lips almost rubbed against Li Yan's ears. "Why do I think you are not so enthusiastic about my new fleet?"

Li Guan knew that there must be thousands of eyes looking at him at this time, and understood that everyone might have thought of where they were. It was really because they didn't eat mutton and caused a lot of fishy food. This woman didn't care about other people's opinions, and her reputation was completely ruined by her.

"That's my fleet!" Li Yan gritted his teeth and reminded her word by word: "In addition, haven't I pulled out all the ship and necessary equipment and supplies to you?"

"More than a thousand old bows and arrows, and even two bows are provided for each bow. In addition, we were given only eight hundred horizontal knives, one hundred battle axes, five hundred spears, three hundred shields, three hundred arrows, one hundred crossbows, and ten fuyuan crossbows. Together, we were not as much as you threw on this cavalry." Megan said dissatisfiedly.

Julie's voice also sounded in his ears: "The crew you recruited before is OK, barely useful. But the sailors are not good. Although they are all strong, we are not recruiting dock porters, as long as we are strong. The sailors on the sea must first be good in water and secondly have sufficient resilience. When warships go out to sea, they often have a chance of ten days, half a month or even half a year. The place on the ship is small, and there is no sea around them. People who are not firm enough will not stay for a long time, let alone face all kinds of sudden battles at any time."

Li Guan smiled bitterly, "Since I have appointed you two as commanders of the new fleet, I agree to all sailors except the other officers and staff I sent to assist you, and I will allow you to select. But there is one thing, you don't care about how you choose the sailors, but the officers on the ship must be the ones I sent. Even if these people are not in your eyes now, you can find a way to train them into qualified officers, and this is beyond doubt."

Other officers of the fleet must be appointed and removed by Li Yan, which is his bottom line. In order to train a qualified navy, Li Yan can first hand over the command to Meghan and Julie, but this is just a stopgap measure. The control of the fleet must be held in the hands, and officers are the key. As long as the officers at all levels of the fleet are their own people, as long as the officers master the skills of commanding the warships, Li Yan can withdraw the two women at any time.

"This is no problem, but most of the officers you sent are not in water and have not even experienced many battles with the land infantry. Do you expect them to help you pull up this new fleet? Maybe it will be possible in five or ten years." Julie sneered.

"No, I hope this fleet can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible. I have a plan now, waiting for this fleet to be the main force." Li Yan shook his head.

Megan chuckled, "That's not impossible, but I need you to promise me a condition."

"you say!"

"I am going to ask the three hundred retired older generations to join the fleet temporarily, so that they can be trained as coaches on the fleet, leading the new with the old and teaching by words and deeds, so that they can be trained in a short time. Most of the newly recruited sailors are fishermen, and they have never seen blood. It is not easy to turn them from fishermen into warriors at sea."

Li Yan was silent. Meghan's proposal touched his bottom line. He was willing to let Whitebeard and his 300-year-old brothers retire on Shaman Island, and he also took the initiative to invite Meghan and Julie to be the first commanders of the new fleet. All of this has a bottom line, that is, the joining of these pirates will not threaten him and Shaman Town. But now Meghan's proposal requires the addition of the 300-year-old pirates to be the coach in the new fleet.

This inevitably made him hesitate and even doubt whether all this was a trick arranged by Zhen Donghai. What he was worried about was that after hundreds of pirates joined the new fleet, the control of the fleet finally fell into Meghan's hands. He did not doubt what Zhen Donghai was going to do to him, but he did not want his fleet to finally fall into the control of a group of pirates.

When Julie saw Li Yan falling into deep thought, she suddenly said a little angry and said coldly: "My man surnamed Li, do you don't believe in our sisters, are you afraid that we will take your fleet? If you really think so and don't trust us so much, why do you need to invite us to be your fleet commander? It sounds so nice on the surface, and we have the idea of ​​all fleet affairs? We are busy with your fleet breaking these days, and you treat us with such a heart. I think there is no need for us to stay anymore, so we should go home directly."

Seeing that they were about to get up, Li Yan had to quickly reach out and hold the two of them. This pull made the others even more shocked. They were just one man and one woman, but now they are one man and two woman. They all sighed secretly, it turns out that a capable man is Buquan. If he has wives and concubines at home, he still has to be compatible with others outside.

However, Li Yan didn't know these things, and he must not want to know them. He thought in his heart that this might be Julie's strategy, retreating to advancing? However, after a quick measurement in his heart, Li Yan decided to keep them. As for the matter of hundreds of pirates on board, it was up to them to decide.

There is no doubt about employing people, no doubt about people. Although Li Guan cannot fully meet this standard, she invited the person, and it is impossible for him to not even give him any trust. Besides, if this is really a strategy, then Li Guan doesn't think there is anything terrible. The most precious warship of the new fleet has not been delivered, even if they have any ideas, they will only lose a few speedboats and a batch of old weapons. Besides, with the important hostage of Whitebeard in his hands, he really doesn't believe they will do anything.

"Okay, everything is listened to you, I don't mean to distrust you. I was just thinking about my plan just now. I will ask the Bai family to come out and be the head coach of the new fleet in a while. But I have another requirement. No matter how hard you make a fuss, we may have an important movement in this half month. Then I will send you to the stage. Can it work?"
