June 2nd, sunny and hot.

I had a dream last night that Li Luo's boat encountered a hurricane and the ship sank.

I woke up in the middle of the night and found myself in a cold sweat.

If you think about it again, not to mention that it is not yet the peak period of hurricanes, even if you encounter an ordinary hurricane, you can't help the success of hundreds of tons.

But I'm still a little worried.

In the morning, I went to the newly cultivated farmland to inspect the irrigation, and then went to the craftsman's office to see Gu Kai training armor apprentices.

I found all the artisans busy. However, because Haidong implements the policy of equality of farmers and craftsmen, and the newly introduced "Craftsman System" clarifies the promotion level and treatment of craftsmen, they are very motivated.

Even a few cobblers, who had nothing to do before, were busy concocting deer skins and wild boar skins. They told me that it took three months to make the deerskin and boar skin tough enough to be used as a material for making nails.

Fang Huan, the captain of the crossbow machine, has been seconded to the craftsman during this time, guiding the manufacture of the Divine Arm Bow. He reported to me that the construction period could be greatly shortened due to the seizure of a lot of dried animal tendons. Within a month, the first Divine Arm Bows will be made.

In short, the production of weapons and ordnance is already progressing very quickly.

The construction department organized more than 100 migrant workers and began to build the company's office compound: Haidong Gongfu.

In the afternoon, I went to the security regiment to inspect the training, and randomly inspected a few recruits to recite the "Luoning Military Law".

After holding a meeting with Hugu, Yang Xu, and others at the regiment headquarters, he studied and solved the problems that arose in the training of recruits. I have put forward a request that we must strictly follow the "Military Training Outline."

The "Outline of Military Training" combines the essence of modern military training with ancient military training.

It also borrowed from Qi Jiguang's "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness".

It has obvious advantages ahead of its time, but it will not deviate from the reality of the times, and it can be said that it is the most suitable training technique for us. Facts have also proved the effectiveness of the "Military Training Outline."

Just as I was about to leave, the leader of the reconnaissance team, Song Ji, told me. caught a suspicious character, claiming to be Han, but he was completely dressed as a raw person. I'm going to interrogate it myself......

…………

At the temporary headquarters of the security regiment, Cui Xiuning was examining a student whose hands were cut back.

This person has broken hair and tattoos, and his bare back and feet, and he is completely dressed as a raw person.

But his appearance ...... The figure is slender, the complexion is fine and white, and the facial features are bright, and it doesn't look like a raw fan at all.

Even his temperament lacks the fierce and savage ruthlessness of Shengfan.

"You say you're Han?" Cui Xiuning asked lightly, as if cutting her eyes were as cold as ice, and looked directly into the other party's eyes.

But the other party didn't have the slightest sense of humility, and some were just apprehension in that kind of surprise.

"Mrs. Haojiao learned that the villain Zeng Du was a native of Huizhou Mansion in West Zhejiang Province. The villain's hands are tied behind his back, it is inconvenient to salute, and I hope that Mrs. will atone for her sins! ”

As soon as this person opened his mouth, it turned out to be a Jianghuai official dialect!

It's really Han people, there is no doubt about it.

"Untie!" Cui Xiuning commanded.

As soon as Zeng Du was untied, he immediately knelt down and cried: "The villain has been looking at the king for a long time, and it has been twenty years now!" If you are pitiful today, let me return to the clan and get what I want, although I have no regrets in death! ”

Listening to him, at least he has read the book.

Zeng Du was originally a native of Huizhou who failed to study and turned to business, and 20 years ago he went south to Guangdong with his father to sell goods, but he came to this island by mistake due to the wrong course.

After going ashore, I found that there were Han immigrants here. But before the father and son of the Zeng family had time to be happy, they encountered a life attack, most of them were killed and hunted, and a few were taken back to worship the mountain god.

His father and the retinue of the Zeng family were all beheaded. He was also going to be sacrificed and slaughtered, but when he was slaughtered, he encountered lightning and thunder, which made Shengfan think that his life should not be extinguished, so he survived with the help of "Providence".

He has been reduced to the Feather Clan for twenty years, and he has worked hard to survive like a life, but he doesn't want to run away all the time, but he has never waited for the opportunity.

It wasn't until Li Luo's security regiment was wiped out three times in a row that Zeng Du knew that the opportunity had come.

He didn't know if it was Wang Shi or not, but as long as it was the army of the Han people, even if it was a pirate, it was also a Wang Shi in his eyes at this time.

“…… The villain was really ecstatic when he learned that Wang Shi had been killed three times the day before yesterday, and everyone was afraid. While fighting with the chieftain and the snake, he planned a strategy to escape......"

Zeng Du explained his ins and outs in detail. He didn't know who the beautiful woman in front of him was, but when he heard the soldier next to him call her Madame, he guessed that it should be the general's wife, so of course he had to be careful.

Cui Xiuning judged that what he said was true, and he was a little happy in his heart: he finally found a Han man who knew the details of life.

This Zeng Du has been in the Shengfan clan for 20 years, and he has long been proficient in Fan, and he is also a scholar, and he is definitely a talent that Haidong Company is currently in short supply.

"Come on, take Mr. Zeng down to change into a set of clothes first, and then come back and talk back." Cui Xiuning arranged, Zeng Du's dress was really spicy.

Zeng Du has been born for 20 years, has been weathered, and his face is full of vicissitudes, but once he changes into Han clothes, he immediately becomes civilized and elegant.

"Mrs. Tse's grace!" Zeng Du thanked him again, and his tone sighed, "The villain has not seen the Han family for 20 years, and today he wears it again, just like a world away!" ”

Cui Xiuning said with a smile: "Su Wu has been shepherding sheep for nineteen years, and you are one year more than him." ”

Zeng Du thought that Cui Xiuning was sarcastic about himself, and his face was a little feverish when he heard it. He and Su Wu were both reduced to a foreign race, and the time went by for a long time, but Su Wu always kept the Han Festival, and his iron bones were strong. And he once gave in to the chief in order to survive, and he didn't even dare to avenge his father's revenge.

Cui Xiuning knew that since Zeng Du could live in the wolf's den for twenty years, he was definitely not an idle person, at least he was forbearant enough. But he is by no means a man who values righteousness over life and death.

Measured by the values of modern people, it cannot simply be said that he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and lives shamelessly. After all, no one wants to die until they have to.

This can be used, but it can't be used too much. In any case, a person who is afraid of death is a bit unreliable after all.

Next, Cui Xiuning began to inquire in detail about Shengfan. Zeng Du intended to stammer, of course, he knew everything. After this time, Cui Xiuning finally systematically understood the information of Shengfan.

It turned out that there were more than eighty large and small tribes on the island. Most live in the mountains, and a few live near the water.

The largest tribe has more than 10,000 people, and the smallest tribe is no more than a community of several hundred people. After so many years, it took him to figure out the approximate number of all the students on the island, and it was estimated that there were 1440,000.

The languages of the tribes are different, but they are not very different and can communicate with each other.

The vast majority of tribes have the custom of headhunting. There are also several tribes that have the custom of cannibalism. As for the "civilized" tribes that neither hunt heads nor cannibalism, there are only four or five of them.

The tribe where Zeng Du stayed before was the Yuyu tribe, one of the three major tribes.

There are 12,000 people in the Yuyu tribe, and they can pull out 3,000 strong. Moreover, as a hegemon, there are seven or eight small and medium-sized tribes who obey orders.

What's more, the patriarch of the Yuyu clan has already made up his mind to wait for the mountain god festival on July 30 to go out of the mountain in a big way.

The number of "coalition forces" they planned to dispatch was five thousand!
