Penglai Island, a radius of about 60 kilometers, is 30 miles from the coastline, because of good geographical and hydrological conditions, here has always been entrenched by pirates, becoming the biggest scourge on the coastline of Qi, but since last year, this group of pirates seems to have changed their temperament, changed the banner of the Red Turban Army, shouted the slogan for the sky, at first Rao'an's Qi State Government and garrison did not put them in their eyes, but when the Red Turban Army set foot on the land of Rao'an, the two sides just contacted, The Qi army found that the pirates in their image who would run away when they encountered the regular army were so powerful that they were unexpected, and Rao'an's more than 1,000 Qi garrisons were defeated in a very short period of time, Rao'an fell, and the Red Turban Army stepped on land and had a land base.

The arrival of the pirates had made the local residents panic, but they really had nowhere to go, the entire Qi country was caught in the flames of war, the two sons of the Tian family fought, and the war spread throughout the Qi country, and in Judu, the Chu army adjusted for a few months after taking Linyi, and after the New Year, finally attacked again, and steadily advanced towards Judu, the court of Qi under the remote control of the eldest prince Tian was able to cope with the battle in both directions at the same time, the left and right were staggered, step by step, and a large area of land in Judu fell.

And this pirate who changed the flag seems to have changed his character, after going ashore, no longer burning and looting as before, but establishing a government, issuing a notice of peace and security, with the Red Turban Army in Rao'an announced a policy one by one, the ordinary people of Rao'an found that this Red Turban Army will not only not endanger them, but will become their gospel. The gentry landlords were arrested and expelled, and the Red Turbans, while receiving a large amount of floating wealth from these people, also distributed the land they left behind to the local people without hesitation, and announced the standard of their collection of taxes.

The people of Rao'an were pleasantly surprised to find that under the rule of the Red Turban Army, their burden was greatly reduced, and the amount of fear that was immediately gone, and even secretly expected that in this era of war and chaos, the Red Turban Army would be able to hold Rao'an steadily, so that they would no longer pay a variety of endless taxes to the imperial court.

And on Penglai Island, if there are still people on this outer island in the old days, then he will definitely not know this place again, the small island where the island used to be entrenched has now undergone earth-shaking changes, a simple port has been built, and the wooden dock that extends far into the sea can allow the sea ships to dock on it, on this pier, there is always a daily throughput of three or four large sea ships, transporting a steady stream of ordnance and supplies to the island.

The whole island has been transformed beyond its roots, and wide roads have been built from the docks to the center of the island, and horse-drawn wagons have continuously transported the goods and resources unloaded from the ships to the rows of warehouses on the island, and around these warehouses are rows of wooden houses, and on the beach, large training grounds have been carved out, where a large number of newly recruited soldiers are trained.

If there is a person who knows the style of the Han army and sees the layout of the camp here, he will definitely find that this place is so familiar at a glance, if the red turban flag here is replaced by the Han army flag, and the clothes of the red turban army are replaced by the navy blue uniform of the Han army, this pirate army will immediately be transformed into an out-and-out Han army.

The tiger head held a pole about a foot long in his hand, and walked on the beach with a straight face among the soldiers, these are the newly recruited refugees, Qi is full of smoke in the country, and the war is pervasive, so that the by-product of the displaced people is produced in large quantities, these displaced people who have lost their homes and lost their places to make a living, as long as they have a bowl of rice to eat, they can be lightly thrown into the army, in this era, it seems that only the army can guarantee full food, although there is a danger to life at any time, but it is better to be a full ghost than to be a starving ghost, not to mention, Even if you don't join the army, your life is precarious.

But the Red Turban Army recruited soldiers obviously not to refuse to come, but to carefully select, from which the strongest were selected and transported to Penglai Island for further training, of course, those who were not selected, the Red Turban Army did not let them go into exile, but loaded them onto sea ships, and transported them away one by one, as for where they went, no one knows.

"Stand up straight, whoever the hell wants to move, don't eat lunch today. You, hold your chest high!" The tiger head roared, and the pole in his hand knocked on the soldiers' chests and buttocks from time to time. This is the first lesson for recruits and is known as the standing military posture.

Isn't it just standing for a while? Many recruits who have just participated in the training do not think so, stand, who wouldn't! But after they really stood on the training ground, according to the requirements of the instructor, wearing armor and holding a spear, standing motionless on the beach like a pillar for an hour, there were already many people whose legs and stomachs began to weaken, their bodies began to be rickety, and cold sweat began to break out on their faces.

One of the soldiers shook and fell to the ground, and the veterans who were waiting on the side immediately pounced on him and dragged him aside, and immediately a waiting physician came up to examine him, and this was generally a prostration, and there was no major problem, and it would be relieved to drink a little water and rest a little.

From the side of these rookies standing in the queue, the veterans with spears, waist knives, and bows and arrows on their backs lined up and watched them walk all the way through with a smile and grin, a month or more earlier, they had also suffered these things, and at this moment it was a little schadenfreude to see someone repeating their experience.

On the other side of the beach, where are the straw men tied up with branches, and there are planks tied to their chests, where the soldiers who have been trained in the guò queue practice assassination techniques, and form a neat line, and at the command of the sentry commander or the captain, a group of soldiers shouts and rushes forward, stabbing the spears in their hands at the straw men in front of them.

Poking, retracting, simple movements, but it is difficult to make a team of people neatly aligned, occasionally a person stabs a little slowly or recycles a little slowly, and he is often greeted by the raindrops of branches of the sentry commanders and captains.

And in the mountains and woods of the island, more soldiers who are particularly prominent from the battlefield are undergoing further training, Bai Yucheng used to be an old bird doing special tasks when he was in the Eastern Army, and now even if he commands a large army, this hobby still cannot be changed, among his troops, the proportion of special forces is far greater than that of other group armies. Although these people are not many, the damage they do on the battlefield is sometimes far greater than that of a frontal attacking force.

A large sea ship slowly approached the dock, and the group hurriedly walked down, when passing by the training ground, one of them looked up, looked at the tiger head and smiled slightly, the tiger head couldn't help but be stunned, but he knew this person, Ye Chong, the former commander-in-chief of the Southern Group Army, has now been transferred to the military department to serve as the secretary of the military department, how could he come here?

After a pause, the tiger head suddenly thought that Ye Chong, who was the secretary of the military department, suddenly arrived on Penglai Island, which must indicate that they were going to make a big move here, thinking of this, he suddenly became excited, waved the branches, and howled: "Today's table is good, only less than fifty, Lao Tzu is kind, let you take half a day off in the afternoon, let you have a good refreshment, tomorrow, the amount of training will be doubled."

Originally, I heard the first half of the recruits about to cheer, but the words that came up immediately made the scene mourn, and many soldiers simply fell directly on the beach. Before, he stood up completely with brute strength, but now that this momentum is gone, he only feels sore, and where is there still half a bit of strength.

However, the training of the Red Turban Army is quite cruel, but the food is also quite good, many soldiers before enlistment, how have they eaten and drunk the sea like this, and they have eaten and drunk the sea like this, and they have white flour and big buns, and fresh fish boiled in soup, if it is said that at the seaside, fish is not a strange thing at all, then there are mutton, pork, chickens and ducks and other tooth sacrifices every now and then, that is something that I didn't dare to think of before.

Even for this sumptuous meal, you have to grit your teeth and stand up! Besides, this place is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and even if you want to escape, you have no place to escape.

Along the winding mountain path, through the python primitive jungle, Ye Zhong climbed to the top of Penglai Island, here, there is a fortress, here was originally the island's old nest, there is a small stone fort, after Bai Yucheng took here, after a long time of expansion, finally formed a large fortress overlooking the whole island.

Hearing that Ye Zhong came in person, Bai Yucheng, who returned to Penglai Island to inspect, couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly brought someone out to greet him.

"Bai Houye, long time no see!" Ye Chong smiled and bowed his hand, the garrisons in this fortress were all the special brigades that Bai Yucheng brought out from the Eastern Army, and Ye Chong was not afraid that someone would find out his true identity.

"Ye Shangshu!" Bai Yucheng returned the salute: "Is this the strong wind that blew you, the big guy, to me?" No wonder the magpies in the woods chirp in the morning!"

Ye Zhong smiled, "It's been almost a year, haven't you?" Bai Houye has become so good at talking, and sure enough, it is Shibei for three days, and he should be impressed!"

Bai Yucheng also laughed, "A certain rough person, but he can't afford to be a scholar, Ye Shangshu, all the way, the scenery here is okay, right?"

"Well, it's really a paradise, it's rare to see!" Ye Zhong turned around and overlooked the entire Penglai Island, "When there is no war in the coming day, the armor is in storage, and the horse is put in Nanshan, build a house here, get up in the morning to hoe and farm, listen to the waves at noon and take a nap, the sunset is in the forest to explore the secluded, and the bright moon is just fishing and tasting tea, it is really a fairy-like day!"

"When Ye Shangshu lives like this in the future, he will have to call me to be your companion." Bai Yucheng smiled and stretched out his hand, "Ye Shangshu, please."
