Chapter 193: Arriving at Dianbai County
Zijian is very pleased with the growth of the volunteers, this time in the attack on the pirate's den, fifteen people performed well, and when they return to Zhangjia Village, they will become the level of platoon commanders.
Fighting, although there are casualties, is also the fastest way to build military merit, and there is no one. Fifteen people went from the original small soldiers to the platoon commander, it was so fast.
The other volunteers who came with them were envious, jealous and hated for the fifteen people who were about to become platoon commanders, but there was no way, in addition to having their own ability to kill the enemy, they also needed a little luck, and the other volunteers were not not brave, but they lacked a little luck.
"Stone, drink the fish soup."
Wu Shi "Thank you, brother, alas! Wu Shi took the fish soup brought here, but he was not in the mood, yesterday he attacked the pirate, half of his arm was cut off by a pirate, of course, the pirate's fate was not much better, he was cut into meat by other brothers, but Wu Shi's arm, with the medical methods of this era, can not be taken back, and can only be half crippled in the future.
Wu Shan: "Don't sigh, I asked Captain Li Hu just now, after you quit the Volunteer Army, you have a lot of pensions, you killed three pirates, I heard that you can have three hundred taels of silver, and thirty acres of fertile land, with such a good treatment, are you afraid that you will not have a good life in the future." ”
The two are from the same clan, Wu Shi shook his head and said enviously, "I'm not as good as you, I still want to be promoted and be a squad leader, but it's a pity that it's like this now." ”
Wu Shan didn't know how to comfort him, he had made a lot of meritorious service this time, he had already booked the position of platoon commander, and he could officially accept his fate when he went back to Zhangjia Village, but Wu Shi could only withdraw gloomily, which has to be said to be a big regret.
It's not wrong to say that regrets, the two of them see that the chief is so powerful, they will definitely have a career in the future, and they may be able to fly together with the chief, and now Wu Shi has no chance, can you not regret it!
As for attacking the pirates, so that half of his arm was missing, Wu Shi could only sigh that he was unlucky, as for saying that the chief would not save him when he saw death, uh, the opportunity to attack the pirates, it was specially left by the chief to the volunteers to establish credit, if the chief made a move, the volunteers would not get a single hair.
If he had the ability of one ten-thousandth of the chief, he would not have been injured by the pirates, but unfortunately he had no ability, Wu Shi could only sigh.
Wu Shan: "There are more than ten brothers gone, you don't need to be like this, it's okay to go back and marry, if you like that girl, talk to Captain Li Hu, there will be no problem." ”
Attacking pirates can only be said to be a small scene, but as long as there is a war, it is impossible to avoid death, and it is a good thing to keep your life on the battlefield and go back, and the pension of the volunteers is a lot, and there is good land, which is enough to live a good life.
Wu Shan: "By the way, Shi, I heard Captain Li Hu say that you can go to the police station to do things when you go back." ”
The seriously injured and disabled volunteers can only withdraw from the queue, after all, the volunteers want to fight, and the enemy is desperate, because the volunteers who quit from the war, Zijian has arranged a back road for them, and will give them arrangements according to their situation, like Wu Shi, who has a broken arm, can go to the police department to do things, the police department is mainly responsible for things in the territory, there will not be much danger, although Wu Shi has a broken hand, that kind of work can still be done.
Standing on Class A and observing the ocean with a telescope, Zijian is not an ocean expert, but the sea surface jumps out of the fish from time to time, and he also knows that there are a huge number of fish in the ocean, and under the boat, there is often a black shadow passing by.
If people with little insight saw it, why did the sea monster want to eat people or something, but Zijian knew from the experience of later generations that it was not a bad thing, and it was a huge school of amazing fish.
Can you imagine! Originally there was a clear ocean, suddenly shrouded by a dark cloud of fish, you can imagine how huge the fish are in it, after a large number of fishing in later generations, fishermen have to go to sea far away, in order to have a harvest, the current ocean, human beings are still in awe, the ocean is very little.
What made Zijian speechless was that when the others saw the fish passing under the boat, they were so frightened that they knelt on the deck, begging for something with their hands, even Li Tieshan, who had just followed Zijian, also folded his hands together, looking respectful and humble.
Only Zijian stood on the bow of the boat and marveled at the huge number of fish, and the others saw it and didn't dare to say anything, this master is a perverted existence, he doesn't care about the gods, and he doesn't represent others.
Zijian can also guess some of the thoughts of other people, such a huge black shadow, and the fish that jump out of the sea from time to time, all know that the black shadow is composed of various sizes of fish, if it comes to fish, everyone is not afraid, what everyone is afraid of is the mysterious power that makes such a huge school of fish together, this kind of power, must be the ability that only the legendary gods have, people who go to sea, there are a few who do not believe in immortals, such as even in later generations, Guangdong, Fujian, fishermen who go to sea will believe in "Mazu". Of course, what gods do the people believe in now, this Zijian doesn't know, and he is not interested.
In the distance, columns of water erupted from the sea, Li Hu was beside Zijian, also watching with a telescope, he was the first time to go to sea, he had never seen such a scene, and his heart trembled.
A whale came out of the water and fell back into the sea, Li Hu saw this process very clearly, his throat couldn't help but dry, and the distance was very far, but the size of the whale was beyond his knowledge, and he had never seen such a huge creature.
"Chief, what the hell is that, will it eat people, if it eats people, chief, you leave first, and I will be for you for a while."
The corners of Zijian's mouth twitched, this kid has commendable courage and loyalty, but he doesn't have much knowledge, to put it bluntly, he is a dirty man, he doesn't bother to bother with him, and he doesn't have the courage to popularize it to him, "This is a fish, it's just a little bigger, and I will kill this fish soon." ”
Li Hu was so frightened that he knelt down directly, and stammered, "Chief, this is an immortal, an immortal, you can't do this." ”
Zijian really wanted to kick Li Hu into the sea, isn't it just a whale, what a fairy, I'll go! I cursed in my heart.
"While staying, let me tell you, this fish has nothing to be afraid of except for being bigger, and it is not a fairy, the whale is a treasure, and it has many uses, such as can, forget it, I'll talk to you illiterate! It's really a piano to a cow. ”
Zijian: "Old Lu, how long will it take to get to Dianbai County!" ”
Lu Lao came over respectfully, there was no way not to be respectful, the pirates who were originally very vicious to the crew were now being served by the volunteers, and Zijian captured a pirate fleet by himself, and he also saw that in his eyes, he was extremely respectful to Zijian.
Lu Lao took out one of his charts made of unknown things, compared it for a long time, and then determined the approximate location.
"Chief, it will take three hours to reach Dianbai County."
Zijian nodded, Dianbai County has been divided into Maoming County for management in later generations, and it can be seen from here that Maoming County and Dianbai County are actually not far apart.
Dianbai County Yamen.
"County master, no, a group of people just came to the port, and those people have no flags, no identity, there may be problems."
The county magistrate was originally tasting tea, but he was startled, and a mouthful of good tea squirted out, and at the same time, he choked and coughed out a series of coughs.
The official who collected taxes at the port hurriedly came over to report the news, uh, didn't he say that the Ming Dynasty did not collect taxes, and what taxes did the officials collect at the port. In fact, this is the rule of Chinese officialdom, the so-called policy at the top, and countermeasures at the bottom. The official sent to the port to collect taxes, and the money would eventually fall into the pockets of the county officials, and it had nothing to do with the imperial court, and the money would not be handed over to the state treasury.
The ships, businessmen, and people who call Bai County must also give the county officials some trouble, otherwise if you come here to do business, you won't give the county officials benefits, and the county officials will have no way to clean you up!
Of course, these methods can only be used on small businessmen who have no background, and if big businessmen with background come to buy goods, the county officials will not be too embarrassed, and those businessmen will also give the county officials a good gift.
The county magistrate put down the teacup, he was really a blind guy, didn't he see the old man tasting tea, such a good interest, so that the official was stirred up.
waved his sleeves, "Say, what's the fuss, I can't say what is good, you are good-looking." ”
The official had no choice but to tell the matter of the port again and let the county lord call the shots.
County Officer: "You take people and ask them where they came from, and see what they mean." ”
Zijian got off the ship, and the port in front of him was rotten from the eyes of his descendants. But there is no port built of cement, in fact, it is almost the same, Zijian is nothing surprising.
There were a lot of porters in the port, they were helping the ships to unload their cargo, and they were very happy to see so many ships entering the port, but they saw the volunteers disembarking and waiting there, and then there were people who were tied up with ropes and got off the boat.
With such a look, the porter didn't dare to step forward, these people are obviously not good stubble, they made the other party unhappy, and there was no place to reason if they were beaten.
