Lao Dao, Nangong Dun, and Mo De just thanked him, and the representative of the Imperial Army Brigade said a little apprehensively after thanking them: "My lord, after receiving the reward, the soldiers are very eager to go to the town to spend some money, I don't know if they can take turns to go out of the camp?" ”

Ou Di and the others were stunned, although they knew the virtues of the imperial army, and they should have agreed to let them go out and have fun, but why did they all just change careers from captives, and if they were released to see the prosperous scenery, would they cause trouble?

Zhao Hu smiled: "Of course this is possible, but we are too remote here, and it is not a matter for soldiers to cross such a large area of no man's land, so why don't I send someone to invite some business groups from the provincial government?" Now we have docks and boats, and we can go back and forth in a few days by sailing by sea. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

The representative of the imperial army said with a happy face: "This dare is good, brothers don't have to go far, wait for door-to-door service, where to find such a good thing, thank you, brothers!" ”

"Hehe, this is also the prosperity of my territory, but you tell the brothers to remember your identity, you are all the militia led by my Zhao Hu, don't say that you are the imperial army or something like that, otherwise I can't guarantee that you will not be held accountable." Zhao Hu said.

The meaning of the warning in Zhao Hu's words, of course, the militia representative understood, and nodded hurriedly and nervously.

He also knew that if the matter was exposed, not only would the division commander have to kill him, but even the empire would have to punish himself, he was not a person inside and outside at all, and he believed that his brothers would not be so stupid, but he still had to wake them up when he went back.

Odi knew that recruiting merchant groups to do business with these soldiers could increase the popularity of the territory, and at the same time, he could collect taxes, so maybe some merchants would see that business was good here and stay there?

It's a good thing.

Crew? There are a number of rogue prisoners, and the two guys who have taken refuge in Nangong Dun and Maude also have crew members, which is not a problem at all.

The one who monitors and leads the way? Servant soldiers, landlubbers who don't know the way, can't come in handy, but those militiamen from the Haiquan Provincial Garrison Division can, they are the troops stationed in this coastal province, and it is a joke that they can get seasick and can't water.

However, Ou Di, who had thought a lot, quickly thought of the problem and immediately reminded Zhao Hu: "My lord, we are about to do business in partnership with the provincial governor, will it cause trouble if the merchant group appears in our territory?" ”

Zhao Hu shook his head and said: "No, those merchant groups are just like meeting those merchant groups in the Fifth Brigade, they will only appear on our payday, and I believe that they will not stay in this deserted area all around the rest of the time, as long as the time is staggered, and pay attention, I believe there is no problem." ”

Ou Di was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head helplessly, he still fantasized that there were merchants stationed here, and he didn't want to think about how it was possible for such a wonderful thing to happen if there was nothing but soldiers here.

However, when the territory develops, it may be necessary to pay attention to the exposure of smuggling activities, but if it is cleverly designed, it should not be known to outsiders.

Thinking of this, Ou Di calmed down and began to prepare for a banquet to welcome the head of the provincial governor's division.

When Peter and Kate arrived at the edge of Zhao Hu's territory, they just heard cheers in the distance, the two glanced at each other, and Peter asked the guards sent by Zhao Hu to greet him with a smile.

"What's going on up ahead? Why is it so noisy, listening to the sound of at least thousands of people, is it so good at working so hard, there are so many more free people in Major Zhao Hu's territory? ”

"My lord, they are not free people, but the militia led by Zhao Hu, listening to their voices, they must have been rewarded with a few gold coins."

The guard, named Oak, was a little envious, not that the soldiers had been given gold, but that they were able to go into battle and kill the enemy.

If it weren't for the lack of manpower this time, I am afraid that these civilian guards would not even be able to take on the task of meeting them.

Peter and Kate were not stupid, and immediately woke up to how Zhao Hu had so many militiamen, and it seemed that the two brigades that came to attack him were subdued by him.

Kate muttered that she didn't know what to curse, while Peter asked curiously, "What are they being rewarded for?" Is there still a rogue to attack? ”

Oaked laughed, "Why not? Today we were attacked by two rounds of robbers, each time more than 2,000 people, and they should have killed the second round of raids and received a commendation. ”

"What? Is there really a rogue attacking you? And so much more! Peter said in surprise, he was very puzzled, the city lord of his partner Mingyue City had already agreed to Zhao Hu to join the gang, how could there still be rogues coming ashore to attack?

If it was just a small group of rogue bandits, it could still be said that it was the spontaneous action of the rogue bandits, but these two rounds of rogue attacks totaling more than 4,000 people, without the Bright Moon City Lord fanning the flames behind his back, would definitely not appear!

Why does that guy say one thing and do another?

Did he want to invade the Augustan Empire?

It's impossible, even if his brain is burned, it is impossible to make this decision, it seems that he wants to try the ability of Zhao Hu, a gangster, but in this way, that guy doesn't care, anyway, he can't wait for the rogue in the territory to die, but we are miserable, who knows if Zhao Hu will think that these two rounds of rogue are sent by us!

When he gets annoyed and exposes the matter, it's over.

Peter, who was very nervous, suddenly thought that these guards were still welcoming him warmly, and he was relieved that Zhao Hu would not be angry with him.

"What? 4,000 rogues were defeated by you? Kate also exclaimed, he didn't expect Zhao Hu's subordinates to be so powerful, and the four thousand rogues were defeated like this.

Although the people of his two brigades took refuge in Zhao Hu, but with the addition of the original Zhao Hu's troops, the maximum number of troops was 2,000, and they actually won the battle one to two? It's incredible.

After Kate exclaimed, she found that she was a little embarrassed, and immediately stiffened her face and asked a little darkly, "Did you lose a lot?" The combat effectiveness of 4,000 rogues is not weak. ”

Oakde smiled a little smugly: "My lord, I don't know how small the results of this round are, but in the last round, we only lost about 100 people, and we eliminated more than 1,000 rogues, and the rest of the rogues were all captured, and at the same time, their ships were all captured, I believe that the results of this round of battles will not be much worse than the first round." ”

Kate and Peter were immediately dumbfounded, believing that the guards would not exaggerate, because they knew what was going on when they went there, and it was because of this that they were shocked.

The combat effectiveness of Zhao Hu's troops was so strong that they killed more than 100 people in battle, and wiped out the entire army of more than 2,000 people!

Realizing this situation, both adults began to think about whether to further enhance their relationship with Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu, who has such a strong army, a small major is definitely not the class he stays in, I believe that he will have more space in the future, and now he invests his feelings in him, but it is stronger than pulling the relationship when people are high in the future, I don't know how many times!

With such foreign aid, it is impossible to say that these officials who are not nobles can become a force in their own right.

As they pondered, Oak woke them up with a "arrived", and the two of them were dumbfounded again when they saw the town rising from the ground in front of them.

Of course, they knew what this place was like before, but they didn't expect that in just a few moments, Zhao Hu would build such a large town in a weedy wilderness.

After the shock, Kate quietly asked Peter: "Zhao Hu, this town is so huge, will it be violated?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Peter knew that Kate still had a shadow in his heart, and he didn't say anything, just shook his head.

"There is no violation, the empire has no limit on the size of the town in the colonel's domain, although there is a limit on the height, he does not exceed, as for the restricted town wall material, there is nothing wrong with him as a major using wood as a fence."

Kate sneered: "Hmph, I just don't know if he will fill the two wooden walls with mud, I can't see it, but if he really does this, it will be against the law, because this kind of wall can only be used in the towns of the colonel's territory." ”

Seeing his old friend's expression, Peter couldn't help frowning and said: "I think he was born in the imperial capital, he should understand the rules of 'Colonel Town' General's Castle, Major Lieutenant Colonel Wood for the Wall, Colonel Wood Stuffed with Mud, and General Stone Fortress', and people like him will definitely not mess around." And even if the other party accidentally violates the rules, we should also remind us, after all, we are now partners! ”

Kate understood Peter's last aggravated remark, nodded and said no more.

In the lord's mansion, Maude and Nangong Dun followed the crowd to salute Peter and Kate, at first they thought that these two were the leaders of the nearby towns, but after learning their identities from the small talk, the eyes of both of them flashed with excitement, making Odi, who was paying attention to them, frown, afraid that they would have the idea of hugging their thighs.

"Brother Zhao Hu, I heard that you have captured more than 80 ships, how about it, can you sell a few to my brother?" As soon as Peter opened his mouth, he was very affectionate.

And Kate hurriedly interjected when she heard this: "Brother, you must sell me a few!" ”

Although Peter and Kate asked Zhao Hu to call themselves his brother as soon as they met, Zhao Hu continued to call himself an adult and a subordinate official, and after persuading them once, they also called their own names.

"Huh? Two adults, how can they be interested in those dilapidated fishing boats seized by the lower officials? The shipyard in the provincial capital can build one at random, and it is better than these fishing boats. Zhao Hu asked suspiciously.
