Early the next morning, the sand fleet, which had rested all night in Eagle's Beak Bay, set sail in a hurry. This time, there are two more lucky boats in the queue.

After the Debang parted ways with the fleet, someone who watched the film all night just said sullenly: "Go back to port." Then he went back to the cabin and went to sleep.

The rest of the people set sail and anchored and went straight west along Zhoushan. The Debang, which put away the pirate flag, was just a very inconspicuous sand boat, and at noon the next day, the wooden boat quietly drilled into Hangzhou Bay.

Naturally, it is impossible for a pirate ship to stop at the gate of Tangzhuang without scruples, so the anchorage of the Debang is a private port in Haining County. This private port is only twenty or thirty miles away from Tangzhuang by water, and it is the usual place of residence of the Debang.

After the boat stopped and settled, as soon as the reward was issued, half of the people immediately went to Haining County to do great health care. And Chen Huoding and Ma Liu, two people, took a small boat to Moyun Temple, and after finding Master Lu, the two sides immediately handed over the black wooden box, and then the second master left Ma Liu to report to the leader alone, and he himself, wandering around, accidentally strolled to Tangzhuang.

Turning around in Tangzhuang, until the market gets off work, the second master slowly took a Wupeng boat, and in the evening, came to the Wuxian Temple outside Hangzhou.

Hearing the arrival of the second brother, Zhou Tong was overjoyed, hurriedly came out of the apse, grabbed the hand of the second master Chen, who looked obviously different, and laughed: "Kill the chicken, cut the meat, today you and my brother will get drunk!" ”

......

By the time the food and drinks were ready, it was already dark. Zhou Tong had already noticed that something was wrong with someone at this time, so he waved his hand to drive away the guests, and after closing the door, the helper asked in a harmonious voice: "Second brother, but what's on your mind?" ”

Chen Huoding's face was full of entanglement, a pair of tiger eyes were full of apologies, hearing the eldest brother's question, the second master could no longer hide at this time, after a "poof", the second master knelt in front of Zhou Tong: "Big brother, Chen Huoding is disloyal and unjust, and he wants to abandon his eldest brother today!" ”

"Huoding, what are you doing?" Zhou Tong was taken aback when he heard this.

"Big brother, Huo Ding wants to go to the army and fight for wealth with a knife and a shot!"

"Oops!" Zhou Tong slapped his thigh when he heard this: "I knew there would be today!" ”

"You were born with a restless temperament, who doesn't know?" Zhou Tong squatted down at this time and grabbed Chen Huoding's arm: "Good brother, you will retire when you quit, this is a good thing, how can the eldest brother stop your future?" ”

"Big brother, it's always better to be a fire pig and a dog!"

"Alas, the screen village has been scattered since the day we went down the mountain. Fortunately, now the brothers have a way out, Huo Ding, you go to fight for the future, the eldest brother only has joy in his heart, don't be that little child again! ”

Zhou Tong said this, helped Chen Huoding up, then thought about it and said: "Now it is not as good as in the past, we have the rules of the upper realm in every move, and this matter must not be publicized." ”

"Well, you go with me to kowtow in front of the spiritual seat of the old village master. Huo Ding, you were taken in by his old man back then, and you always have to say hello. ”

When Chen Huoding heard this, he couldn't help but cry.

......

Early the next morning, a large number of beggars escorted Zhou Tong and Chen Huoding to Moyunguan.

After meeting Master Lu, Zhou Tong explained the reason to the master, and then solemnly testified to the master: Chen Huoding officially resigned from the cottage labor service company last night, well, the two sides broke up amicably, and the salary, bonus, social security and medical insurance were all paid clearly, and there were no contract disputes.

Now, let the master take over the goods.

After Lu Cheng listened, he was also surprised at first, and it wasn't until he interrogated Chen Er in detail that he figured out the cause and effect.

Okay, Master Lu is out of the way this time, everyone has already decided to cut off the way out and resigned from the original company, and the group naturally can't turn away talents, right? What was the most expensive in the 17th century? ...... Talent!

So Second Master Chen stayed in Moyun Temple for the time being. As for the identity, from an external senior captain, to the lowest level of the company's communication room mailer - no way, who told you to change jobs, everyone in the new company is equal, start from scratch......

And Comrade Ma Liu, who has a donkey face, also took over the throne of the captain of the Debang as he wished.

As for Second Master Chen's final destination...... After referring to his own opinions, Lu Cheng returned the telegram with the senior officials, and a few days later told Chen Huoding a good news: In consideration of Comrade Chen Huoding's previous meritorious deeds, the military had agreed to accept Chen Huoding to participate in the training of recruits, and gave the second master a privilege: he could freely choose the type of troops.

There is no such thing as free registration in the current mode of joining the army: all the people who enter the army will be forcibly placed in a certain job according to the files established at the time of Moyunguan. Unless the person shows a specialty in the future, he or she will not change the type of work.

As for the special talent of Chen Erye, while telling him the good news, Master Lu also vaguely recommended the Marine Corps to Chen Erye: a small administrative hint.

...... Since the day the Marine Corps was established, the big office has been sparing no effort to support his own son, and Lu Cheng's intelligence system, as the number one dog-legged department under the big office, will naturally do some "small" extra work in some places that are inconvenient to say.

In this way, Chen Huoding entered the military and political system that crossed the forces and became an ignorant chess piece. After that, the second master stayed in Moyunguan, in order to express his "rebirth", the second master also shaved off his long hair and beard - the vicissitudes of life in the past concealed the real age of the second master, and it was not until this moment that his original appearance was revealed, and people saw that Chen Huoding was just a 25-year-old young man.

Soon after, Chen Huoding boarded the sand fleet of the Dayuan on a night when he couldn't see his fingers.

After drifting at sea for more than half a month, Chen Huoding arrived at the legendary Dayuan Island with his ship on May 10, 1628.

......

As soon as Pu entered the Dayuan channel, he passed by the fleet, and the "Haidilao No. 1", which was holding a big shovel to dig the mud, shocked the second master.

Fortunately, the second master is also a man who has watched the film all night, and he still has a little immunity to large machinery, which makes the former cottage brothers who stood aside early and waited to see the second master's jokes not feel proud......

After several months of dredging, the navigation conditions have been greatly improved: the southern waterway, which was originally intended for ships to enter and exit, has reached a depth of 5.5 meters, which is enough to allow the passage of fully loaded large ships and medium-sized Galen ships.

Now Haidilao No. 1 is clearing the sandbar between the north and south channels, and when completed, the channel will be able to change from a single lane to a dual lane.

The second master greedily watched the scenery on Dayuan Island along the way: the huge, red brick piers, the red castle under construction in the distance, and some streamlined dinghys with white soft sails swept past the fleet like sharp arrows.

As the fleet went deep into the Taijiang River, you could see that in the Chihkan New District on the other side, the red walls were getting deeper and deeper, revealing rows of bamboo and wood roofs in the community. Camphor trees as thick as a basin are standing beside the road, and these transplanted plants have passed the adaptation period and are extending along the road of the community.

The fleet quickly sailed across the Taijiang River, which was only 5 kilometers wide.

With the maturity of the concrete process, the first concrete gravity wharf on the Taijiang River has just been put into use in the Chihkan wharf area not long ago.

Previously, due to the lack of raw materials, all the docks in Dayuan were wooden pile structures - the bearing capacity was low, the components were fragile, and it was difficult to repair them after damage.

After the kiln area produced enough soil and cement, a gravity wharf equipped with a wood gas crane for docking cargo ships was officially started. Workers spent two months on the banks of the river: digging out the cofferdam, finishing the foundation, building a thick outer wall with concrete, and finally filling the interior with boulders – the entire pier was filled with concrete and stone because of the lack of rebar.

No cargo ships came to Chihkan today, so they went deep into the trapezoidal wharf of a full 100 meters in the Taijiang River and easily accepted four sand boats.

The port and community reception personnel, who had long been skilled in immigration work, had already gathered on the dock in large numbers, just waiting for the newcomers to disembark.

When the rickety, languishing migrants climb out of their cabins, they are greeted first by the scorching sun of the subtropical islands, followed by the bustling Chihkan Pier; There are sand boats and fortune boats moored on the left and right, and waterfowl parked on trusses with big swaggers overhead...... Occasionally, a small fish in the Taijiang River will fall from their mouths, and most of the time they will fall a tuoxiang and land on people's heads......

More than 1,000 newcomers stepped on the stone steps to the pier one after another. They had already learned to line up at Moyunguan, and soon under the leadership of people with short sticks and whistles, they walked towards the community in groups. They will be recuperated and redeployed there, and depending on their recovery, usually after 3-7 days, everyone will start working in their new role.

Chen Huoding naturally wouldn't go to the community with this gang to wait for the assignment, and his receiving unit was different from this gang - the new barracks in the Dayuan Merchant Pavilion.

More than an hour later, the main "cargo" of the four sand boats had been unloaded, and Chen Huoding finally boarded a small boat and crossed the Taijiang River again, coming to the island with a large red pier that he had just carefully seen.

On the wooden dock of Dayuan Island, there were already a few old friends waiting for the second master at this time.

The most familiar to the second master is Wei Yuan, who is 1.9+ meters tall, born as a mercenary, and used to be the abbot of Moyunguan. You must know that in the days when Wei Yuan first crossed, he was detained in the back garden of Tangzhuang and was not allowed to go out, and during those boring days, Wei Yuan could only play with guns every day and be a firearms instructor for the crossers.

Second Master Chen was in Tangzhuang every day at that time - he was beaten and scolded every day, in order to learn how to make a line at three points, in order to fight a pistol bullet, the second master of the dwarf didn't know how many feet he was picked by the giant, and he was in tears when he said it......
