    To the Naval Duty Departments:

    Since the first month of the ninth year of Emperor Shaodi, the entire territory of Xuzhou has been included in the territory of the Cao family. However, there is no new law in Xuzhou, so it is temporarily replaced by an administrative order. In the name of the King of Lingnan, the Lord of Liaodong, the founder and supreme commander of Cao’s navy, I issue the following six orders:

    First, since the receipt of this document, the troops along the coast of Xuzhou (including the three counties of Langya, Donghai and Guangling) will stop the active looting of ships in Xuzhou, and use the name of “escort” extortion (if the profit exceeds 10% of the value of the other party’s cargo, it is considered extortion).

    Secondly, since the receipt of this letter, the conflict between the navy and the residents along the coast of Xuzhou will be regarded as an internal conflict. All militaries should stop privately seeking revenge, disengage, and wait for law enforcement officials to file public prosecutions after they arrive.

    Thirdly, since the receipt of this document, the various departments of the navy may have friendly contacts with the residents along the coast of Xuzhou as appropriate. The name “Cao’s Navy” is allowed to be used against Xuzhou ships and residents along the coast of Xuzhou. However, please note that once the identity is revealed, the troops have the obligation to protect and inspect the relevant ships, residents and sea areas. Please consciously abide by the relevant provisions of the “Military-civilian Coexistence Regulations”.

    Fourth, all vessels and personnel suspected of human trafficking, ordnance transportation, murder and transcending goods are not within the protection of the above three items, please continue to attack the navy within the scope of their capabilities; Vessels passing through the waters of Xuzhou are not covered by the above three protections, and various departments of the navy are requested to search them within their capabilities.

    Fifth, please report the terrain and docking conditions along the coast of Xuzhou for the construction of the port.

    Sixth, due to the expansion of the coastline in our territory, the Navy Headquarters is requested to command each branch to expand the number of naval recruits this year, and organize outstanding veterans to return to the army as instructors. At the same time, the application for “transfer to the Xuzhou port garrison” is open to all naval soldiers who are on duty, on duty, or on vacation. Those whose origin is Xuzhou, or who have a spouse whose origin is Xuzhou are preferred.

    The command will take effect immediately.

    Thank you for your **** battle to defend your home and country.

    “Letter 3” (this one is a double-layer waterproof case, the outer “White Rabbit” lacquer seal, and the inner “Shiwan Dashan” tissue paper seal. The inner and outer seals are complete to show that they are not opened .In triplicate, sent from Qu County, Xuzhou to Panyu, Cangwu County, Yulin County, Jiaozhou. After being circulated by the heads of the forest protection groups and the county head, the copied copies will be posted at the notice. This document is an administrative suggestion and is valid until Relevant law was issued.)

    To officials, tribes and independent hunters in the forest areas south of the Yangtze River:

    The longer the animal, the less easy it is to replenish. Excessive hunting can easily lead to extinction. Elephant is one of them. And I myself have always opposed hunting for luxury.

     During my trip this time, I found a large amount of ivory products flowing out of Jiaozhou, and I am deeply concerned about this. It is hoped that all forest areas will do a good job in banning hunting during the breeding season of elephants. And I sincerely suggest to all hunters not to kill female elephants with their cubs in order to maintain the number of elephants.

      Birds and animals in the mountains and forests are the food and clothing of the people in the forest area. They are not for profit and can be thrown away in an instant. cut.

    “Letter 4” (This is a double-layer kraft paper cover, encrypted once by the administrative general codebook and the Ministry of espionage, the outer layer is “White Rabbit Songyue” fire lacquer seal, and the inner layer is “Kyuzhou Huanyu” tissue paper. Both internal and external seals are intact to show that they have not been opened. This piece is in quadruplicate, sealed in a political box, with public and private locks, and sent from Quxian to Liaodong, Nandao, Weihai, and Liudao, where medical, agricultural, industrial, French and military When the heads of the five departments were present, they jointly opened the box. This is an emergency order, which is the focus of this year and next year.)

    To the administrators of the South Island Department:

    Xuzhou has been overcome, but peace is short-lived. By next fall at the latest, we will begin the decisive battle with Yuan Shao. In order to cooperate with Cao Cao’s government in completing this fateful battle, as the King of Lingnan and Lord of Liaodong, I issue the following four emergency orders:

    First, ask Dalian Port, Haikou Port, Weihai Port, Kaohsiung Port and other secondary ports to expand warehouses, and store limestone, coal mines, salt, turpentine, grain and grass within ten miles of the port , horses, medicinal materials and other strategic materials.

    Second, please ask Weihai No. 1 Shipyard, Shendao No. 2 Shipyard, Nandao No. 3 Shipyard, and Liudao No. 4 Shipyard to produce sea-going boats and river boats according to the instructions in the appendix .

    Thirdly, the eighth military port will be built in Qu County along the coast of Xuzhou. The list of materials and delivery dates that need support from various places is in the attachment. After the completion of Lianyungang in Quxian County, the main responsibility is to transport inland coal to the south, and transport weapons built in Liaodong and Nandao into Yanzhou. Ladies and gentlemen, once the war with Yuan Shao begins, Qingzhou will be the front line. Considering the worst-case scenario, the road from Qingzhou Weihai Port to Yanzhou is cut off by Yuan Shaojun, Xingang will become the most important transshipment point for our connection with Yanzhou. Therefore, please overcome all difficulties and cooperate with Xuzhou to complete the preliminary construction of Lianyungang in Qu County before winter comes.

    Fourth, please ask Weihai, Liaodong and other areas that may border Yuan Shao to report the changes in the surrounding forces, and ask the relevant troops to prepare for battle.

    Thank you all for being one heart and one mind and getting through this difficult time together.

    April 17th, 9th year of Shaodi

    …

    April 17 is a relatively sunny day, the sea fog has dissipated, the sun shines on the bay between Yuzhou Mountain and Qushan Mountain, the waves are undulating and peaceful.

    However, the ten red warships docked in the bay still made the people of Qu County show fear. This fear turned into awe after they saw the six-story body of the “Zhiyuan”.

    “This is a miracle.” They knelt carefully behind the door panel and peeked at the man standing on the black reef by the sea.

    Asheng wears a new cloak, with a jacquard surface and soft new cotton inside. Her original old cotton cloak had been smoked to the point of being unsightly when the salt was boiled. If the “Zhiyuan” had not appeared in time, it would have prevented Cao Sheng, the most wealthy man in the late Han Dynasty, from walking around in a black and hard cloak.

    Chen Wuxie took a box of envelopes that she brought up and placed it on his chest solemnly. He turned his head without hesitation, grabbed a cable and jumped onto the high deck.

    Eleven ships that did not seem to belong to this era pulled up their sails and disappeared behind the unchanging figure of Yuzhou Mountain in almost a quarter of an hour.

    A Sheng pulled her little disciples and stood by the sea, the sea breeze gently blowing the short strands of hair in front of their foreheads, swaying back and forth.

    The two brothers Mi Zhu and Mifang can no longer be said to be apprehensive. Their tone and actions seem to be dealing with a monster that can crush the city. “Master Zhonghua, are you letting them go now?” Mi Zhu asked cautiously.

    “They have their jobs, so they can’t stop because of me.” Ah Sheng turned to the Mi family head and smiled.

    “But… Duke Zhong Hua let the heroic army wander…”

      There was a bit of persuasion in Sheng’s tone, “I also ask the head of the Mi family to tell the elders and villagers that the rumors are not credible, and they are not that scary.”

    Mi Zhu shut up.

    The Gao family, which was wiped out overnight, didn’t have thousands of family members? It’s not like he was abused like a dummy. There are more than 40 ships with seven or eight hundred people. If they say they sink, they will sink. Those who survived did not dare to go to sea.

    Chen Wuxie only has three hundred people, Thaksin; but is he an ordinary three hundred? A peasant picking up a **** is fundamentally different from a professional veteran who kills without blinking an eye, or a gangster who dives and chops ships, isn’t it? It’s still about the same level as your guard, Cao Zhonghua is really joking… Wait, what?

    Mi Zhu was horrified and startled, and the eyes he looked at those black-clothed guards were wrong. His back was covered in cold sweat, and he felt more and more stiff because of the casual gesture of the person in front of him.

    “Zhonghua, Huagong,” Mi Zhu made a vibrato, he took a few steps forward and stopped in front of Ah Sheng’s ox cart, “Zhonghua Gong is leaving now? Zhu? The friendship of the landlord has not been fully fulfilled.”

    “Patriarch Mi has taken good care of me, and I have a good time in Quxian.” Ah Sheng patted his hand on the carriage, “I received an invitation from my relatives to go south. Go, I have been hanging around in Qu County for a long time.”

    She said so, Mi Zhu knew that he couldn’t hold it any longer, so he let go of his hand in disappointment, and respectfully gave a big gift: “Then Zhu can only send someone to take you out of the boundary of Qu County. Dare to ask Duke Zhonghua, what will happen to Quxian in the future?”

    “Patriarch Mi, please rest assured, it will never be more difficult than it is now.”
