Xunsu Lu Bu and other civil and military officers waited for a long time, and finally did not wait for the order to return, but carried a large number of Fugui Island and the rare objects collected along the way, put them on a three-masted sea ship, and returned alone.

Look at the huge specimens of the Protector Bat King, the crocodile specimens native to Funan, the giant turtle specimens, pepper, pepper, star anise and other spices.

In particular, the tall burly gorilla and the mighty local tiger are two beasts that are extra obvious.

Lu Bu looked at these things with a depressed face, and respectfully saluted Xun Su beside him: "Mr. Xun, did you say that this thing is useful?" ”

Xun Su just shook his head at Lu Bu, who respected the scholar like an ordinary hero, and said that he didn't know either.

"Hey! Lord! ”

Lu Bu sighed.

In the entire army, the civil and military who knew the inside story were full of lamentations, and although the secrecy work was done well, the negative emotions of the senior civil and military officials more or less affected the morale of the military.

In terms of the main account and the like, Cao Xing looked at the dozen ministerial-level military discipline chiefs in front of him, and they were all generals and strategists, and their spirits were so weak that they affected the morale of the army, among which Lu Bu was the most serious.

The chief of military discipline of Lu Bu's department bowed, and a new paper booklet of Jingzhou was held above his head:

"Lord, this is all Lu Bu's passive slacking behavior recently, and even once I smelled alcohol on him!

Please also ask the lord to come forward to punish him! ”

As far as Cao Xing knows, he was transferred from Xiahoulan, and the first batch of military discipline officers that Xiahoulan focused on cultivating now seems to be vowing to take Xiahoulan as an example.

"Okay, I know, I'll deal with this, keep your booklets, and then go down!"

Cao Xing smiled in return, and sighed in his heart that although the report was good, it was too miscellaneous or troublesome, and it seemed that if the ocean-going fleet was to be built into a permanent fleet, it was important for a competent military discipline chief with outstanding ability.

But now it's time to solve the problem of military morale.

"Come on, beat the drums and beat the drums to gather the army!"

"Knock knock~"

The thrilling war drums are beaten, and the drums go from slow to fast, until the most rapid drum beats are struck at the end.

Listening to this drumbeat, Lu Bu, who had drunk a lot of "drinking water" today, hurriedly put away the kettle and shouted to the soldiers who were working:

"Stop! Put down the work in your hands and assemble the whole army! If you can't get a three-way drum, you can stay here and work forever! ”

Lu Bu yelled, hiccuped again, and led the soldiers to the school yard to assemble.

Lu Bu felt that he had gathered fast enough, and when he arrived at the school grounds, the one he received was the latest.

"Damn the mixed troops, replaced by the iron camel Zhenghong Banner directly under me, they are definitely the first to arrive here!"

Lu Bu complained in his mouth and roared loudly:

"Hurry up and join the team!"

The soldiers dare not speak out, and it is clear that he is the least anxious person.

This scene was clearly seen by Cao Xing, who ordered the stage, and the third drum had not yet been beaten, and it was not that they were late.

After the whole army was lined up, except for the personnel on duty, Cao Xuan came to the front desk: "Soldiers! We stayed in Fugui Island for more than 10 days! We have seen the wealth of Fugui Island, which is really worthy of the word "wealth"!

Moreover, this place is far away from the mainland, in front of the fleet of our Han and Chu armies comparable to the world, it can be said that this is the safest and most distant paradise from war!

With mountains, rivers and endless seas, it's far away from natural disasters such as droughts and floods, and no matter what happens, there is no threat of starvation! ”

Cao Xing pointed in the direction of the sea:

"There is an inexhaustible supply of food there!

So meritorious soldiers! The fief that was promised to you at the beginning, now it's time to fulfill it, and it's in this richest and safest paradise! ”

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! Wansheng! ”

The soldiers who have been knighted let out exciting cheers, cheering for the knighted soldiers, and the soldiers who aim to be knighted are also cheering.

The prince and the marquis, not to mention the sixth-rank and eighteenth-class hereditary knights, represent the high honor, enjoy the treatment and status of officials, but a large number of people have obtained them in the Chu army.

Moreover, in addition to the Shijue, the Han regular soldiers have 30 acres of military land, the eight-banner soldiers and the nine-headed snake have 20 acres of flag fields, the remaining flag soldiers have 10 acres of flag fields, the auxiliary soldiers have 5 acres of military fields, and even the tun soldiers have one acre of tuntian.

These can be cashed out on this rich island, even if most of them have been cashed out, they can still be changed here, which makes the soldiers how not to cheer.

Morale was only a speech, and it returned to its highest point, and Cao Xing showed a look of satisfaction.

Although there are many simple people among the soldiers, everyone is not stupid, and no matter what time it is, the most practical benefit is the most effective stimulant, not to mention the land that the Chinese nation values the most.

"Xiahou Bei, Zhang San, Wang Er...... Wait for one hundred and eight people to come forward to listen to the seal! ”

Cao Xuan read one hundred and eight names in one mouth, and more importantly, these people were not knighted.

What Cao Xing had to do next was obvious, one hundred and eight people with standard steps in unison, came out of the line to the front, and stood in a row.

One hundred and eight people included military attachés in full iron armor, as well as military discipline officers, clerks, and technical officers wearing only leather armor.

It can be seen from the collar, helmet, cloak, armor and other service styles that without exception, they are all basic civil and military, and the lowest official position is the Dubo who commands fifty people.

However, this Dubo is a regular soldier, and he is naturally one level higher than the flag soldier.

Cao Xuan stepped off the stage, and behind him, Cao Han and Zhang San's guards were holding a large plate covered with red cloth.

Standing at the head of the line is not someone else, it is the chief of the military discipline of Lu Bu's department who has just reported Lu Bu to Cao Xing not long ago.

Cao Xing first lifted the red cloth that Zhang Nan was holding a plate, revealing a dense number of cards the size of playing cards, and handed a card to the other party:

"Xiahou Bei, although you are the temporary military discipline chief of General Lu's temporary command, your strict law enforcement has proved your sense of responsibility to me and to the Han Dynasty!

Accept this knighthood, and you will be one of the one hundred and eight rich and noble lords of Fugui Island in the future!

If you value that piece of land, tell me that as long as there is no gold mine, then it is your lord's land! ”

Xia Houbei knelt on one knee, and it could be seen from the expression on his face that he wanted to cry but did not shed tears, he was trying his best to suppress his emotions.

After receiving the knighthood, Cao Xuan lifted the red cloth on the plate held by Han Meng again, revealing a set of clothes, found a set with his name written on it, and sent it to him.

In the end, a plate of red cloth at the end of Cao Feng was lifted, and it was neatly and completely sealed with an inch square, and a seal with a note for Xiahou Bei, the lord of Fuguidao, was carefully sent to his master's hand by Cao Xing, and Xiahou Bei's eyes suddenly became rosy.
