Chapter 146: The Fishermen on Zhoushan Island (Part II)

Boss Wu took out the valuable things at home and traded them with the islanders, in exchange for ten catties of pork and a coarse cloth, plus dried fish at home, these fish were caught by the black head himself, and they were dried into dried fish if they couldn't finish eating.

The father and son went to the Liu family with these dowries, and when the Liu family accepted these dowries, the marriage was decided, and the wedding day was just a few days later, after all, they were not so particular about these poor families.

That night, Boss Wu's family of four got together, the pot was cooking rice porridge, the dried fish was torn and sprinkled into the porridge, with a fresh and salty fragrance, and Boss Wu was very interested today, and asked the girl to fry a fish for herself, and took out a small jar of wine.

This jar of wine was exchanged between Boss Wu and the islanders, and people saw that he exchanged a lot of things, so they gave him a jar of wine as an add-on, and there was not much wine in it, it was estimated that it was less than two catties, but Boss Wu regarded treasures, and he couldn't remember the last time he drank?

The fish was fried, the porridge was boiled, Boss Wu took out four small bowls and asked the girl to pour them, one bowl per person, although the two women had never drunk wine, but they couldn't stand being happy today.

"Daddy! I respect you! The blackhead couldn't help it when he smelled the wine, and immediately picked up the sprinkler bowl.

Boss Wu also picked up the sprinkler bowl, touched it with his son and drank it all, after the spicy wine was entered, a stream of heat rushed straight to the top door, but then there was a different kind of pleasure, which made Boss Wu also let out a long breath, as if he had spit out all the depression in the first half of his life.

"Black head, the marriage has been decided, I will finish the marriage for you in a few days, you don't have to think about anything after marriage, leave one for our Wu family first!" Boss Wu then told his son again.

"I'm not sure about this, I've heard that someone has been married for several years and hasn't been able to give birth to a son." The black head was also a little speechless when he heard this, he was not young, and he had already made it clear about the affairs of men and women.

"Then I don't care, don't you want to join the army, when you give me a grandson, when I let you go to the army!" Boss Wu immediately waved his hand and said, he knew that the black head wanted to go to the army, but he only had such a lone seedling left, so he had to let him stay for a while anyway.

Hearing that my father agreed to let me go to the army, although the conditions were a little harsh, it was also reasonable, so the black head immediately lit up and said: "This is what you said, if I have a son, Dad, you can't stop me anymore!" ”

"What I said, in fact, I also want you to go to the army, a few days ago Zou Taishi said, now the army is at the time of employing people, and it is also the easiest time to get promoted, you see your father and me, but because of literacy, plus I have practiced martial arts, I immediately became a hundred households, you kid is no worse than others, if you really enter the army, you must be better than your father and me!"

Boss Wu patted his son's shoulder as he spoke, he was not boasting, the black head is indeed bold and careful, and he also has the ability, not only has good water nature, but also has extremely agile skills, and it is indeed easier for a young man like him to enter the army.

"Great, dad, don't worry, as long as I get married, I will definitely hold my son within a year, and then we will go into battle with father and son, and follow Zou Taishi and Zhang Taiwei to fight the world!" The black head said and poured a bowl of wine for his father.

Boss Wu was also even happier when he heard this, especially when he thought that he would be able to hold his grandson in a year, which made him even more interested, and immediately picked up the wine and drank it all again, which may be the reason for not drinking all year round, the two bowls of wine have made him a little drunk, and his swarthy face is also a little red, although life is still very bitter now, but at least there is hope, this feeling is really good.

Early the next morning, Boss Wu was preparing for the marriage of the black head, but he didn't expect someone to suddenly come to the army and summon all the generals of more than 100 households to discuss the matter, so Boss Wu did not dare to delay, and immediately hurried to the barracks.

Compared with the surrounding simple villages, the military camp is built in a decent way, in fact, the military camp here was built by the Ming military first, there are barracks and school grounds, and the daily food and drink are better than the people in the village, and they will also issue uniforms, weapons, etc., so the young and strong fishermen also want to join the army, even if an ordinary soldier, wearing the number one and walking in the village can also make the family's face shine.

Boss Wu came to the barracks to know that it was Zhang Dingbian who came back, so Zou Pusheng summoned them to come, first, to welcome Zhang Dingbian, and secondly, to discuss the matter of sending troops, it is said that the date of sending troops has been set.

Soon everyone arrived, Zou Pusheng and Li Hong led everyone to the dock, and after a while, they saw a fleet of ships appear in front of them, and as the fleet entered the port, they could also see ragged people standing on the boat, this scene Wu Boss was very familiar with, because when they came, they were almost exactly the same as these people.

With the landing of the fleet, the people who moved on the ship also began to get off the ship in batches, Zou Pusheng had already arranged for people to settle these people, these people were the seventh batch of people who came here, they were not the last group, because Zhang Dingbian recruited too many people, so there were at least ten groups of people behind, but this is also a good thing, because there are too many people who came at once, Zou Pusheng and they may not be able to settle them.

When the people on the boat came down almost, I saw Zhang Dingbian leading a few disciples off the boat, and after not seeing him for many days, Zhang Dingbian still looked like a virtuous monk, but the monk's robe on his body looked even more shabby.

"Brother Zhang, it's been a hard journey!" Zou Pusheng saw Zhang Dingbian and immediately greeted him, in the past few months, Zhang Dingbian has almost traveled to the settlement of nine fishermen, and finally recruited so many people to come, which made Zou Pusheng more confident in their next actions.

"Brother Zou is polite, it's really hard for you to settle the people, I don't know if the people who migrated here can still adapt to life here?" Zhang Dingbian first said a few polite words, and then asked about the living conditions of the fishermen surnamed Jiu, after all, these people migrated because they believed in him, if they came here to live not as well as before, then he would have no face to see people.

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, Daming is very trustworthy, the mobilization of food and materials is very timely, and the people who migrated are not squeamish, as long as there is food and drink, everyone is also very relieved." Zou Pusheng immediately laughed.

Of course, when so many people get together, there will definitely be some theft and illegal things, but Zou Pusheng has experience in governing the local area and has already sent people to strengthen public security, so these things will not affect the stability of the overall situation.

Zhang Dingbian finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then Zou Pusheng and Li Hong introduced the main generals around them to Zhang Dingbian, and now they have a total of 5,000 soldiers, of which 3,000 are Zou Pusheng and Li Hong's old subordinates, and they are also the main force of this expedition, and the remaining 2,000 people belong to the reserve army.

Boss Wu and the nine fishermen who migrated from here all belonged to the reserve army, so he was not conspicuous in the crowd, but Zhang Dingbian still recognized him at a glance, after all, Boss Wu was the first fisherman with nine surnames he met when he went to Poyang Lake, and even he lived in Boss Wu's house for a period of time, and he also helped Boss Wu's mother-in-law to cure her illness.

So after Zhang Dingbian met with everyone, he also specially chatted with Boss Wu, which made Boss Wu very excited, but he didn't expect Zhang Dingbian to remember himself, which made his chest straighter.

Zou Pusheng and others welcomed Zhang Dingbian back to the barracks, but Zhang Dingbian was not in a hurry to discuss the matter, but walked around the barracks, watched the drills of the soldiers, and finally nodded with satisfaction.

In the end, Zhang Dingbian came to the conference hall with everyone, and then announced in public: "The date of sending troops has been set, just half a month later, then the Ming Dynasty will send a warship to escort us on the expedition!" ”

Although they have long known that the date of the expedition is not far away, but now they have heard the definite news, which still makes many people excited and apprehensive, on the one hand, they want to use their own hands to lay down a piece of the world, on the other hand, they are worried about the upcoming war, after all, the battlefield is ruthless, and no one knows whether they will fall on the battlefield.

"Okay, I'll arrange the mission, three thousand elite soldiers will go out with the ship, and the remaining two thousand troops will expand while waiting for orders from the front!" This is due to Zou Pusheng also stood up to interrupt the discussion, he and Zhang Dingbian actually knew the news for a long time, but it was not announced until now.

Boss Wu below also secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he didn't have to go out with the army for the time being, after all, he still wanted to finish the wedding of the black head before leaving, and now it seems that he has to hurry up, after all, if the war on the front line is tight, they will definitely be transferred to the front line, but I don't know where they are going to attack?

Not only was Boss Wu curious about the target of the expedition, but many people in the crowd were curious about where to attack, so someone soon stood up and asked, "Taishi, I don't know where we are going by boat, and who are we going to fight against?" ”

For this problem, Zou Pusheng and Zhang Dingbian were also prepared, only to see the two of them look at each other, and then Zhang Dingbian stood up and said: "This matter has been hidden from everyone before, and it is also for confidentiality, but now that the expedition is imminent, it is time to tell everyone, so that everyone can be psychologically prepared." ”

Zhang Dingbian took a long breath when he said this, and then said with a solemn face: "The target of our expedition this time is Tsushima Island of the Japanese Kingdom, but it is just a pedal, and the ultimate goal is Kyushu Island of the Japanese Kingdom!" ”

"Wa Kingdom!" Hearing the name of the Wako, there was an uproar again, thanks to the blessing of the Wako, the following people are still very familiar with the Wako, although the Wako is short, but it is extremely ferocious, and now I heard that I want to kill the hometown of the Wako, and there are many people who show worried expressions for a while.
