After about a quarter of an hour, Wei Chi Hongkuang came to the merchant ship, Liu Baiqing did not get off the dock on the ship before, so it was only now that he could be regarded as greeting his comrades-in-arms and brothers for many years, all of whom were old subordinates.

After the two of them greeted each other, Wei Chi Hongkuang said to Cao Yi: "Childe, the payment over there has been settled and moved into the carriage, then I will move the wine money to the villa first." ”

"Well, you go first, be careful on the road, after unloading the goods, you can directly arrange someone to drive the carriage to the dock, it is estimated that it will take two more transports to transport us all." Cao Yi said with a smile.

Yu Chi Hongkuang also said goodbye to Cao Yi, Liu Baiqing and Mu Hong with a smile, and then went back directly with more than 20 carriages of silver and two.

Later, as Cao Yi said, it did take two round-trips to transport more than 300 people.

After everyone was pulled down by the carriage, all these people were shocked by the grandeur and grandeur of Taibai Villa, even Cao Yi, who had been away for a month.

Because on the periphery of Taibai Villa, there were originally only a few small wooden houses, but now it seems that there are hundreds of wooden houses standing there.

Cao Yi looked at Wei Chi Hongkuang, Zhang Qian and Bu Zhengqing who came to greet him in shock, and said in surprise: "This is ...... What's going on? ”

Yu Chi Hongkuang and the other three laughed heartily together, especially Yu Chi Hongkuang, who had the strongest smile on his face at this time, and his voice was the most grandiose: "Hahaha, Childe, I didn't say it before, I just hope this can give you an unexpected surprise." ”

Cao Yi nodded: "It's really unexpected, they are all orphans of the Zhending Army?" ”

"Well, seventy percent is the Lao Zhending Army, and the remaining thirty percent are the Mo Lin Army." Wei Chi Hongkuang explained.

"Most of the people who wrote to ask about them before the military advisor and Yun Commander came, and some of them received letters asking them to come over for the elderly during the Chinese New Year, and then they began to set off, because they were all lonely old people and orphaned children, and they were also relatively poor, and they basically came on foot, so everyone walked for three or four months before coming here from all over the country!" Bu Zhengqing said.

"And these people, it just so happened that all of them arrived in this month, so you didn't know before, Gongzi, every person who came, our people will build a wooden house of the right size for them according to the number of people, because there are many orphans who come over, so the wooden houses outside Taibai Villa are also built more and more, and it has become such a big village now!" Zhang Qian also interjected at this time.

"Good! Very good! Cao Yi excitedly said two good words in a row, and the expression on his face fully showed his mood, and he was both excited and happy in his heart, and then he reacted. Do they have food and fields in place? ”

"Well, according to the head, each person has three acres of fertile land, but there will definitely be no harvest this year, we have given them money and food, one or two silver per person, food is distributed every month, everyone has statistics on the register, son, rest assured!" Bu Zhengqing said with a smile.

Cao Yi nodded happily, then turned his head to look at Ba Xuyao and Wo Gu, and then looked at Mu Hong's body, and asked patiently: "Ba Hall Master and Wo Hall Master, you two will be here at that time, here are some old people and orphans who are close to us, there is no one else, and the villa is our training ground." ”

"At this point in time, they should go to practice, right?" Cao Yi turned his head and asked Xiang Wei, Chi Hongkuang, Bu Zhengqing and others.

The three instructors nodded at the same time and said, "Well, yes, because all the training items are already familiar to me, so this training will be led by the following captains to train, and we are just waiting for your arrival in the camp." ”

Cao Yi nodded, and then turned his head again and said to Ba Xuyao and Wogu: "Ba Hall Master, Wo Hall Master, when the time comes, the place where the Shepherd Gang Master and they train will be in this mountain villa, and the two of you will live outside the mountain villa. And when the time comes, the shepherds will train them, and they may also train outside the villa, and you can see them outside. ”

Ba Xuyao and Wogu held their long beards at the same time, looking at the row of small cabins outside the villa, all of which were located next to the stream and river here, a picture of paradise, and they also felt a lot of emotion in their hearts, for them, this is probably the best arrangement.

"It's so good, but this house needs to be bought and sold...... Or build your own? Ba Xuyao asked worriedly.

"Hahaha, this wooden house is built, the people in our secret camp are already familiar with the road, rest assured, at most two or three days, your house can be built, and then the two of you can live together and become neighbors."

Cao Yi's words made Ba Xuyao and Wogu very happy, and thanked Cao Yi heavily at the moment, because the house of the two of them had not yet been built, so before it was built, they lived with Mu Hong and the others in the camp in the villa for the past few days.

Although the number of the remaining Tianfu, Pojun and Seven Kills has each risen to 500 people, but the villa was built extremely large at the beginning, and there was a lot of open space in the wall, Cao Yi came back after a month and found that many of the original open spaces had been built into a piece of wooden houses, which should be used as a new barracks for the recruits.

And because the personnel of Lian Zhen and Greedy Wolf had gone to the side of Ziji Mountain, Mu Hong's three hundred people arranged a place to live very easily.

Mu Hong, Ximen Ba, Shao Yangwen and others looked at the sentry towers around them, as well as the tall walls that could not be seen far away, and then thought that when they came, even if it was the carriage in the camp, they had to check all kinds of passwords and tokens, and they also had to check the carriage by carriage.

What's more, they also have the clairmile divine mirror, when they think of the magical bronze mirror they watched at the beginning, coupled with the high sentry towers around them, when they observed just now, they saw that the sentry guards above the sentry were using the clairvoyant mirror to carefully observe the situation outside.

In addition to the fact that the sight is not very good at night, it is estimated that they can find anything around during the day, and if they want to sneak attack or come in to monitor and probe or something, it is estimated that they have been locked early before they get close.

Cao Yi divided three rows of camps together for Mu Hong and the three hundred people to use, one row can accommodate a hundred people, and after everyone divided their beds, they gathered everyone again and went to the material treasury in the villa to get their own things. Each person has a mattress, three sets of clothes for the next training, and various toiletries, and can be put in their own camp after receiving them.

However, even if it is such a small matter, these 300 people are in a mess, there is no order at all, Mu Hong selected from the Yangzhou branch and the Runzhou branch of the personnel to be okay, the queue is quite neat, and the money to buy it later, the word recruit egg is vividly explained.

Finally, after these people had collected everything, it was already an hour later, and at this time, the three members who had gone outside to train alone had already returned.

Because he came in with a slogan shouting on the right steps, it directly attracted 300 people under Mu Hong's command, and all of them came out of the camp to watch. This also frightened the people of the Broken Army, Tianfu and the Seven Killings Division. After lunch at noon, there were only three hundred people in the camp when they came back after the training.

Although there were always new members before, there had never been three hundred people at once, so I took a few curious looks. However, seeing that the three commanders of Wei Chi Hongkuang, Bu Zhengqing and Bai Qiu were all there, the people of these three departments still came to the martial arts arena according to the established phalanx and queue, waiting for the reading.

Cao Yi informed Mu Hong, and asked him to take someone to watch, starting tomorrow, he will directly enter the phalanx training, and today I will take a look at some of the performances of the old members of these camps at the end.

Because there are about 300 members in each of the three divisions this time, who have been trained successfully, and the remaining 200 are newly added this month, so you can still see the stark difference.

However, because the ratio between the old and the new is 300 to 200, the one-on-one old and new targeted counseling can also be done during training, and this kind of training in the secret camp is already very mature and experienced, so these newcomers can bring it very quickly.

Just like the six hundred newcomers in the three tribes now, although they have only been training for less than a month, they already look like they are already presentable. It is comparable to the results of two or three months when Cao Yi personally participated in the training at the beginning. However, even this kind of mixed old and new team still stunned Mu Hong and the others.

When Mu Hong thought that his three hundred people would be trained like this in the future, he suddenly felt full of passion and enthusiasm, and he was confident that he would definitely be able to return to Xicheng and regain control of the Cao Gang in the hands of their Mu family.

After Wei Chi Hongkuang admonished him in front of the parade platform, Cao Yi came to the stage and said a few words, because there were many recruits who did not know Cao Yi. This time, Cao Yi's appearance was also to let people remember him, and by the way, he preached about the benefits.

Waiting for dinner, except for the necessary sentries and personnel on duty, all the other personnel rest, no longer for evening exercise, and there will be a very sumptuous dinner in the evening, on the one hand, it is a reward for the hard training of the new members who joined this month, and on the other hand, it is to welcome the arrival of Mu Hong's three hundred people, and give them a clean wash.

So as soon as Cao Yi's words fell, there was a deafening cheer in the villa, and after the disbandment, everyone rushed back to their barracks, because it was clear that there was no training at night, so these people rushed to bathe and change clothes, so that they could eat and drink cleanly at the dinner.

The province has been exercising all day, and the body is stinky, not to mention that he is uncomfortable, and others dislike it when they smell it, a nest of people was still neatly arranged on the martial arts arena just now, and with Cao Yi's dissolution, everyone scattered in a swarm, and they all ran back to their house in an instant.

Mu Hong and the others were dumbfounded, this change was a little too fast, the iron-blooded soldiers who were still soldiers of a hundred battles in their minds before, how could they suddenly run away like a farmer.

"Gongzi Cao...... What are they? Mu Hong asked in surprise.

"Oh, the shepherd gang master doesn't know, they are rushing to take a bath, because the bathhouse is only so big, and it can accommodate a hundred people to bathe and change clothes at the same time, so whoever goes to the bath first can wash first, and those who go late can only wait, so these people will run so fast!" Bu Zhengqing looked at Mu Hong and explained with a smile.

"Oh...... So that's it! Mu Hong suddenly realized that there was still this saying in his feelings.

"Well, you can take a stroll around the neighborhood except for a few places guarded by secret guards, don't break in, you can look everywhere else, but the dinner party is about to start with three incense sticks, try not to go too far." Cao Yi said with a smile.

"Ahh So fast? "This time not only Mu Hong, even Ximen Ba and others were surprised to ask out loud, although it is normal for men to take a bath quickly, but this time it is 1,500 people, and I heard that the bathhouse can accommodate up to 100 people, even if everyone takes a bath for only half a stick of incense, how can so many people have seven or eight pillars of incense, why is the dinner arranged after three sticks of incense, at least half of the people should not be washed at that time, okay?

"Hahaha, pastoral helper, you are also going to participate in the training next, I advise you, first do as fast as you can do things such as bathing, changing clothes, undressing, and going to the toilet. Otherwise, when you are halfway through the shower and suddenly gather urgently to start special training, you will be embarrassed. Cao Yi said with a smile.

"Urgent gathering?" Lei Laohu asked with feeling.

"Well, Lei Laohu, you used to be a member of the local army, so you should also have emergency training, right?" Liu Baiqing said on the side.

Lei Laohu nodded: "Yes, when I was in the Xiang Army before, I did have emergency training, but at that time, it was usually when the military department boss came over, and the emergency training would be carried out, but it was only for the generals above, and it was very rare in normal times." ”

"Well, but in the Taibai Secret Camp, there is a lot of this kind of emergency training, except for the lack of emergency training within two quarters of an hour after eating, there are any other times, even including the third watch in the middle of the night......"

Everyone else looked at Liu Baiqing who was talking dumbfounded, this is too exaggerated, only Lei Laohu knew a little about the situation, and asked, "Deputy Commander Liu, that ...... Emergency gathering, does it have a time limit? ”

As soon as Lei Laohu's words were asked, everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Baiqing's body, after all, this was related to their later training, and they had never been exposed to relevant training before.

Liu Baiqing nodded under the gaze of everyone, and said flatly: "This is naturally there, half a stick of incense!" ”

"What!?" Ximen Ba exclaimed, "Half a burnt incense? I heard you right!? ”

Mu Hong glanced at Ximen Ba and lowered his head at the latter, mainly because Ximen Ba reacted so much, which made Mu Hong feel a little embarrassed, you are still the hall master of the Yangzhou Branch, other fourteen or fifteen-year-old children can adapt, why are you so shouting, although Mu Hong also thinks this is a bit outrageous.

"No kidding, it's really half a stick of incense." Liu Baiqing said seriously.

"What if...... What about not finishing? Mu Hong asked in a calm tone.

Liu Baiqing stretched out two palms, all of them opened their fingers, and said with a light smile: "Then you will be punished, run ten miles!" ”

"Ten miles!?" Lei Laohu asked in disbelief.

"Well, I have to wear a forty-pound sandbag!" Liu Baiqing nodded again.

This time, no one asked any more, everyone fell into shock, and after a while, Lei Laohu asked again: "That...... After the run? ”

"How others trained, how he trained as usual, and even the training content that others didn't participate in when they were training him to run when he was punished, after everyone was done, he had to make up for this part of the training content alone."

"Shhh Everyone present gasped, so ruthless!

"That'...... Deputy Commander Liu, is there anyone who can't hold on and wants to quit? Mu Feichen in the crowd asked in a low voice. Since his father returned, he had rarely spoken in his father's presence, and this time it was a rare question, mainly because he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on.

"Our camp, including me, has a total of nearly 4,000 people, and so far, no one has said that they are halfway through the training, and they can't hold on and give up quitting, so I hope that none of you three hundred people can quit, the shepherd gang master, the righteousness is not to be in charge of business, I believe you should have heard this sentence many times, we are not only training, but also hope to become an iron-blooded army, I think you also hope that in the future, when you fight with Jing Zhe, and even the Liao barbarians behind you, the people under your hands, Not to mention one against ten, but at least with one enemy two, one against three elite soldiers. Cao Yi looked at Mu Hong and said lightly.

Mu Hong listened to Cao Yi's words for a long time, thinking about what Cao Yi said, of course, he didn't think that he could fight with one against two, with one against three, he was already very satisfied, when he thought that he would have at least three hundred elite soldiers under his command in the future, and then cooperate with the others who recruited troops and horses behind him and the Cao Gang who had been supporting him, and beat Jing Zhe's traitors and Liao barbarians, he was now excited in his heart, and he couldn't wait for them to devote themselves to training immediately.

"Helper...... Master! Lei Laohu beside him hurriedly reminded in a whisper at this time, mainly because Cao Gongzi was asking his own helper, but the helper was in a daze after listening to Cao Gongzi's words, which was a bit inappropriate in terms of reasonableness, in case it was considered disrespectful by the other party, then this misunderstanding would be big.

After all, the next thing is to rely on Cao Gongzi's side to help, lend them money, give them a place to live, and arrange for them to enter the core secret camp training, these are all great favors, although it is cooperation, but so far it is Cao Gongzi's unilateral payment, and the gang leader and Cao Gang, but there is no benefit to others.

After being reminded by Lei Laohu, Mu Hongfang came to his senses, smiled embarrassedly at Cao Yi, and said with a smile: "I'm really embarrassed, the scene you depicted Cao Gongzi deeply attracted me, and I was a little fascinated for a while. ”

"It's okay, but there is one thing I want to talk to the pastor first, that is, as long as you start training at that time, then you must absolutely obey the orders of the instructor, in the camp, the orders of the instructor and even the commander are the greatest, and it is absolutely impossible for you to resist, if you are punished because of poor training or because you lose the competition in the process, you can't say that you are blatantly disobedient." Cao Yi looked at Mu Hong and the others and said solemnly.

"You also know that although our side is not a military camp, but everything is managed in a militarized manner, so what we pursue is to prohibit it, if there is a blatant disobedience to the instructor's order, it will be punished severely, and it will be expelled directly, but the shepherd gang master, you also know that my side is my absolute secret, if you let people with resentments go out like this, I will definitely not rest assured, I hope I won't say that I will have to worry about this matter at that time......" Cao Yi's expression was no different from before, but the words he said were much colder.

"This is natural!" Mu Hong also had a serious expression on his face, "If this really happens, you don't need to make a move, Gongzi Cao, I will clean up the portal myself." Did you hear that? Here, everything is resolutely carried out with the instructor's order as the supreme order! ”

"I heard you!" Ximen Ba, Lei Laohu and others shouted in unison, but the more than 200 people who bought them later basically did not make a sound.

"Louder! Did you hear that? "Mu Hong is the leader of the Cao Gang after all, and the majesty he should have is still there, and he is holding a face at the moment, looking at his subordinates with a black face, which also has a certain deterrent effect, and the old people such as Lei Laohu and Ximen Ba have already shouted loudly before, so the two hundred Zhuang are like this time, and they also shouted in unison, this time it is very powerful.

"Good!" Mu Hong nodded with satisfaction, then turned his head to Cao Yi and smiled: "Master Cao, if there is anyone behind who doesn't open his eyes, you tell me directly, I will deal with it directly, and I won't embarrass you!" ”

Cao Yi also showed a smile on his face: "I'm just reminding you first, if you say ugly things in front of you, there won't be any misunderstanding or unhappiness in the future." ”

Then Cao Yi and Mu Hong and the others separated, Cao Yi and Liu Baiqing wanted to have a good understanding of the specific things in the past month with Bu Zhengqing, Yu Chi Hongkuang and Bai Qiu, and they had not discussed it in detail before.

And Mu Hong and the others are looking around in Taibai Villa, the next year, they are going to spend the next year, they are going to spend the next year, they also remember what Cao Yi said before, as long as there are a few places guarded by guards, they don't look inside, but this kind of place itself is not too much, it is nothing more than a treasury for storing silver, a winery and wine cellar in the back mountain, and the rest is a military room and stables.

The stables are the loosest of these, and they are just watched, but it's okay if you get close to the horses or something, but you can't ride away without the tokens of the instructors and leaders.

The time of the three incense sticks is not short, and it is not long, although the Taibai Villa is very large, but Mu Hong and others are almost optimistic about it.

They also counted the time, and it had been more than two sticks of incense, so they walked in the direction of the canteen that Cao Yi had told them before. From a distance, I have already seen that many of the Taibai secret guards who had gone to take a bath before had already set up a phalanx in front of the cafeteria.

Although it is not yet time at this time, and the people are not even, but they are still arranged in the three phalanxes of Tianfu, Seven Killings and Broken Army, which are very neat, on the other hand, on the other hand, Mu Hong's side, although it is also arranged vigorously, but it is crooked, and the spirit is a little worse than the three people next to him.

However, the more there is a gap, the more Mu Hong looks forward to the situation in a year, and he feels that in a year, these three hundred people will definitely become the elite of the elite like the current Taibai Secret Guard.
