Liangzhejiang Road, Mingzhou, Changguo City.

This is Zhoushan, which has the island of a thousand Buddhas in later generations, but now it has not been well developed, desolate and desolate, and you can occasionally see a few small boats of winter fishing floating back and forth on the calm and turbid sea.

Originally, there should be a city shipping department here to manage overseas import and export business, but in recent years, pirates and pirates have been rampant in this area of Zhoushan, and the originally thriving transportation industry has gradually withered.

And this originally rich land has slowly degenerated, and the island of a thousand Buddhas has gradually become an island of a thousand ghosts, and no one knows if there will be pirates and robbers hiding on the island.

Last April, however, a motley army of soldiers arrived in the area, first dressed in rags and lacking food and clothing.

But even in such a sinister situation, they still practiced continuously, farming and raising pigs without vegetables and meat, going out to sea to fish, and opening the market to strike iron without weapons, and forging themselves.

After nearly a year of hard work, the village has been inhabited by many families, and many soldiers have simply married and settled here, and because of their protection, the surrounding villages have also begun to gather in this direction.

In less than a year, the island of a thousand Buddhas, which was about to wither, has also gathered tens of thousands of people, and has vaguely become the largest town around.

Although they did not have the protection of the city walls, these soldiers were extremely conscientious, defeating more than ten pirate attacks, defeating seven harassments of pirates, killing nearly 1,000 pirates, seizing tens of thousands of supplies, and even two sea boats in less than a year.

The local people call them the Yang generals, and some people who know the point are saying that the young man who led the soldiers is Yang Wenguang, the grandson of the invincible golden knife Lao Linggong.

These seemingly unprofessional soldiers were extremely strong in combat, and the pirates who were fighting with broken copper and iron did not dare to go ashore, as long as they saw the banner embroidered with Yang characters from afar, they would turn around and leave.

In ancient times, it was said that heroes came out of teenagers, and now this young hero is really impressive, how many forbidden troops were beaten by the pirates, but now only this group of miscellaneous troops can protect the stability of one side.

The prestige of the Yang family is well deserved!

Some people also said to Yang Wenguang why the imperial court ignored them but still did their duty so conscientiously, but Yang Wenguang never commented, he buried himself in his business, took his soldiers, hoarded his fields, and raised his pigs.

Not at all swayed by the wind and rain outside, it is as firm as the green pine that cites the mountain cliff.

Just because before he came, Lord Song had written a letter to him, saying that if you want your Yang family's prestige to resound in the court, and want your Yang family's battle flag to flutter on the frontier again, you have to take root, stabilize, and sink down.

He listened, and with almost no supplies, he took a young team of ruffians and outcasts called Hua'er, and took root alive. Not only that, but he also trained these scattered soldiers into an iron army, although they were in tatters, but their combat power was extremely amazing.

On this day, the fog has not dissipated in the early morning, but the soldiers who went out to exercise have already returned to the camp, Yang Wenguang and the soldiers together, with pickled vegetable porridge and salted fish to start the day's breakfast.

Suddenly, I heard a cow-like shout outside.

"Wenguang Xiaoer, come out to pick up grandpa!"

When Yang Wenguang heard this, he shook his head and put the bowl down, and said to the deputy next to him: "That guy is coming to make trouble again, I'll go and fix him." ”

The deputy is just laughing, after all, there are not many people who can make such jokes with the main general, and the one who came is one of them, because the two sides have a lot of interaction, so everyone is also commonplace, after all, in the barracks, there is no such thing as those literati.

Yang Wenguang walked out of the camp, and he saw a tower-like person walking out of the fog majestically and proudly.

"You scalper-like dog, what the hell is the name of the ghost early in the morning?"

Yang Wenguang's scolding made the big black cow laugh: "Grandpa came to see you in person, but you still say this grandpa, you grandson can't do it." ”

"Just you? Will my defeated generals be my grandfather? Do it again, and watch me beat you up again. Yang Wenguang rolled up his sleeves: "Come on, come on, last time your dad screamed crisp enough, and daddy hasn't enjoyed it yet." ”

"The dog's grandson has no respect." The big black cow took a sip: "Grandpa doesn't care about you......"

"What is the weakness of the heart? Come on! ”

The big black bull snorted, but Yang Wenguang laughed: "My son is afraid?" ”

"Grandpa is going to be on duty today, don't worry about you, last time I was hungry, if I'm full, look at how rampant you are!"

"What can you do, you son of a waste who eats and waits for death? I'm afraid I'm not stealing someone's sister-in-law again. ”

Facing Yang Wenguang's ridicule, Da Heiniu's face turned red: "Don't be verbose with grandpa, see what grandpa brought you." ”

With that, he put his finger in his mouth and whistled crisply, and then the sound of wheels rolling could be heard in the fog behind him.

Before Yang Wenguang could react, he saw a convoy slowly appear at the gate of the camp through the fog.

The length of the convoy was as long as 100 vehicles, which was an unprecedented scene, and Yang Wenguang stood there stunned for a long time.

"Son, what is this?"

"Daddy, daddy told you." The big black bull smiled unruly: "If you don't shout, Daddy will bring things back." ”

"You try." Yang Wenguang sneered: "Let's see if you can wear this skin on your body if you bring it back." ”

The big black cow's face finally couldn't hang up, he took out a letter from his arms, read it for a long time, and then suddenly impatiently stuffed the letter into Yang Wenguang's arms: "Look for yourself, Lao Tzu won't serve you." ”

"You don't know how to read, do you?" Yang Wenguang laughed and took the letter: "Who got the letter?" ”

He opened the letter as he spoke, and the handwriting on it made him stand on the spot, and he took a quick look around, and his eyes immediately turned red.

"Read it to grandpa, what's written on this?"

"You call grandpa again!" Yang Wenguang put the letter away and put it in his arms: "It's Lord Song." ”

"Mother...... Handsome! The big black bull was stunned at the time: "Why didn't you tell me that you were handsome?" ”

Yang Wenguang rolled his eyes and slapped the envelope on the big black cow's face: "Look at what are the three words on the corner of the envelope?" ”

"Lao Tzu is illiterate!"

"Song Beiyun!"

In fact, the content of the letter was nothing, it was just a letter of encouragement, but the content of the encouragement shocked Yang Wenguang, hundreds of truckloads of supplies...... And it's all sent from the military department!

O Soldiers!

He didn't care about that, and walked to the first car and opened the box on it, which was full of copper plates, and it was full of boxes!

Then although the second box is also money, it has been replaced with a promissory note, which is something that the Xu family and the household department have made after the integration, and it can be used as money.

Roughly calculated, in addition to this year's military salary, there are almost 30,000 more, according to the content of Lord Song's letter, it is a "bonus" given by the Ministry of War to reward the soldiers who bravely killed the enemy on the front line.

In addition to money, the chest at the back was full of weapons such as swords, guns, swords, halberds, armor, longbows, grain, grass, dried meat, and even some scarce melons and fruits and leather clothes to protect against the cold.

Leather! At that time, he Yang Wenguang envied the leather clothes worn by those grassland barbarians for a while, but the price was very expensive, and he was reluctant to buy one, but now it is one for each person.

Can't wait to put on the leather coat, although it is light but very warm, but the smell is a little uncomfortable, but this is a leather coat!

Then he picked up those knives and took a closer look, the young man from the military could see at a glance whether the knife was good or not, and the knife in his hand was not an exaggeration to say that it was a treasure knife, that cold and sharp, not to mention the broken knives forged in his camp, even the Tang knives made by those widows were not as good as these treasure knives, if the two knives were slashed, the treasure knife in his hand would definitely be able to cut the other party with a knife in two!

And there is more than one such sword, just like the leather coat, everyone has it!

"Sons!" Yang Wenguang shouted: "Come out and divide the guys!" ”

The tattered army in the camp ran out, and they were all startled by the scene in front of them, and then someone quickly reacted, rushed to the front of these armaments, and began to loot as if they were crazy.

"Line up Lao Tzu!" Yang Wenguang roared angrily: "What does it look like?" Everybody! ”

Swords, guns, armor, bows and crossbows, well-equipped make people feel that the Great Song Dynasty has swallowed the Liao State.

For the first time, the ruffians who used to tie some pieces of bamboo to their bodies put on tough and thick chain mail and wire armor, put on steel helmets, and tied red cloth on their arms, and then put the tough sword so horizontally, they were not as handsome as individuals.

"Hiss......"

After Yang Wenguang put on a light silk armor, he felt like a dream, he stepped forward and asked the big black bull: "Who did Lord Song rob?" ”

"What Lord Song, this is sent to you by the Ministry of War! Think twice when you speak. ”

Before the big black bull could speak, a person who looked like a scribe came over behind him, and he stepped forward and looked Yang Wenguang up and down: "You are Yang Wenguang, the commander of the New Army in the East China Sea?" ”

"The New Army of the East China Sea? What is that......" Yang Wenguang was stunned: "You are?" ”

The man nodded: "Student of the School of Sociology of the College of Engineering, Huang Ke." He was ordered to come to the East China Sea New Army as a political commissar. ”

Yang Wenguang and the big black bull glanced at each other a few times, and the big black bull also shook his head, and Yang Wenguang knew that he couldn't count on this guy, so he turned his head to look at that Huang Ke: "Brother Huang, what is the political commissar?" ”

"Lord Song said that it is the person who can keep you from being killed. It's your scabbard. ”
