Since Zhu Wenzheng's incident, Lao Zhu has become more and more suspicious, and after mixing the big stone of Liao Yongan into the navy. and successively mixed small stones such as Qi Xiang and Mao Xiang into it, plus two thousand soldiers.

Mix it, mix it hard! This was Mado's attitude, the team was already impure anyway, and he himself did not have the courage to go to sea with two thousand pirates with no king's law.

When Qi Xiang returned from his meritorious service in the grassland, he went down to the army as a commander, and originally followed Zhu Liangzu to support the Western Expedition. Zhu Liangzu, who died of his son, was unhappy, and deliberately looked for Qi Xiang's ballast, who told him to befriend Ma Du.

Qi Xiang is not easy to mess with, relying on himself to be a personal soldier for Lao Zhu for many years, he will work against Zhu Liangzu. Zhu Liangzu was worried about Lao Zhu and didn't dare to kill him, so he cut down his generals.

Things got big, and both of them were brought back by Tang He. Qi Xiangfu was idle for almost a year, and was sent to Ma Du by Lao Zhu again. When he saw Ma Du Qi Xiang, he laughed, "I didn't expect to turn around, but I still became Hou Ye's subordinate, it's my honor to be able to fight the Japanese with you!" ”

Ma Du also felt very honored to be able to follow Grandpa Qi's ancestors to fight the Japanese invaders, and he also copied Grandpa Qi's poems some time ago, but now it is always difficult to turn his ancestors away.

As for when Mao Xiang was cleaning up the remnants of the White Lotus outside the city, because he didn't catch the most important person, he completely made a cold bench, and even Han Cheng's deputy couldn't take his turn.

For his arrival, Ma Du is actually not particularly welcome, when it comes to the things that violate the law and discipline at sea, I am afraid that it is indispensable to do it, and Mao Xiang is worried that he will not be able to let go of his hands and feet.

However, Mao Xiang has fallen to the point where he is now, and Ma Du's butterfly wings are fluttering blindly, otherwise Mao Xiang is likely to be the big boss of the school inspection now.

Mao Xiang also said to him mysteriously: "Master Hou doesn't have to worry about the humble position, don't forget that the first two thousand people were recruited by the imperial court for you. He said that it seemed to be reasonable, and Madu had no choice but to take him in.

What Ma Du never expected was that Chang Mao also came over to join in the fun, and he unceremoniously sat down in Ma Du's handsome tent, "If you don't accept me, I won't leave." ”

Ma Du patted the table and said, "Why don't you study in the academy?" Didn't your father say that he would let you re-enlist in the army after you had left for a seed? ”

"Read! You don't know me yet, I'm not the stuff for reading! You don't have to worry about my father's side, he asked me to come this time, and he said that if there are benefits, he will naturally cheapen his own family. ”

"Whoever told you that it was good, you didn't go to the battlefield, no matter where you fight, you will die."

Chang Mao said disdainfully: "Uncle, who are you fooling, I don't know about you yet, you will be so concerned if there is no benefit." Besides, the matter of suppressing the widows is still the prime minister of the prince, I am your sister-in-law, the prince is my sister-in-law, if I don't come out to take advantage of it at this time, it will be a fool! ”

"Don't say it, this is really a good time for you to get credit!"

"That's it, you can't look at me if I can't do anything, I'm not promising, and I'm not aggrieved, but she's looking forward to her husband Jackie Chan!"

Chang Mao moved out of the big fish, and Ma Du had to pinch his nose and admit it, but he didn't think that the big fish would have such thoughts.

The 2,000 people were rebuilt by Ma Du, and in a few years, they had forgotten all about the original military training, but they would definitely let them pick it up as soon as possible.

To Ma Du's surprise, these people have been gritting their teeth, and it can be seen from their vicious eyes that they are not afraid of these veterans, but they don't want to go back to live that kind of hard life of digging in the soil, they are really in love with the adventure paradise of the sea.

The two thousand soldiers sent by Lao Zhu Xin were not new soldiers on the battle array, they were all young capable soldiers selected from the naval division, and it can be seen that Lao Zhu attaches great importance to the navy, but he attaches great importance to Ma Du.

These soldiers from the sailors have not received systematic training from recruits, and Ma Du brought them back together, but fortunately they are all young and have strong receptivity.

At an age like Qi Xiang, he is a little powerless, but he is also a commander, but he is often taken out alone, so that the soldiers can see him walking with his hands and feet, and he is not less laughed at.

Madu also advised him that he didn't have to do this, and that he didn't need to kill the enemy with a gun himself, just command. He was stubborn like a donkey, "When you are your subordinates, you have to abide by your rules, if you don't understand, it will be difficult to convince the public, not to mention that you can't command well in battle, and when the time comes, you will lose the battle, and you will be burdened by putting your brothers in." ”

It's a good thing that Qi Xiang thinks so, Ma Du has no choice but to let him go, this is the gap between people, he is also Lao Zhu's personal soldier, but Qi Xiang has earned a hereditary official position for his descendants, and he has also produced a descendant who has been famous through the ages. Lao Liu was kicked away by Lao Zhu early, so he could only be Ma Du's long-term follower and housekeeper, and he also recruited a son-in-law like that.

If you want to build a navy, warships are naturally the top priority. Chen Youliang's kind of giant ship can only sail on the Yangtze River and inland lakes, and it also needs the help of long oars, and eighty percent of it is only overturned at sea.

As the name suggests, the Fu ship is a ship made in Fujian, Fujian has been China's shipbuilding center since the Song Dynasty, this kind of ship can be said to have been tested by wind and waves for a long time at sea, and most of the sea trade ships are this kind of ship, there is no more suitable than it.

It's a pity that the current Fu Ship is not a magnified version of the 100-meter giant ship used by the Three Treasure Eunuchs, the largest is less than 50 meters long and has a displacement of less than 1,000 tons, but the sampan boat is more than enough to deal with the Japanese Kou.

At the beginning, after Tang He and Li Wenzhong captured Fujian, they were ordered to build ships in Fujian to transport grain to the north, but when they encountered wind and waves, the ship sank a lot, and there were still five ships that had been idle in Yingtian, and Ma Du unceremoniously asked for it.

If it was just for people, these five lucky ships would be enough for 4,000 people, but Madu would not be used to transport slaves, and when the time came, the deck would be crowded with people, and they would not be able to stretch out their arms to load ammunition, so there would be no need to fight this battle.

He arranges hundreds of people on a large ship, and the ship is not enough for Lao Zhu to be reluctant to pay for money, and it takes time to build a ship, but Madu has a ready-made one. Because of the fierce trouble, Ma Du and Shen Wansan's merchant ships used for sea trade did not go to sea, in order to prevent being robbed, they all sailed to the Yangtze River, and Ma Du chose some small fortune ships and sentinel ships as supplements.

Regarding Ma Du's going to fight the Japanese invaders, Shen Wansan raised his hands and feet to support, and also sponsored Ma Du a lot of money and food. There is no other reason, who told the Japanese to delay him to make money, he has been doing maritime trade for a long time, and he has not suffered less losses from the Japanese invaders, and he has not paid less protection fees.

He held Ma Du's hand and said excitedly: "Remember to kill these miscellaneous pieces, and I will offer a reward of five taels of silver for one head!" ”
