One day, Sun Dahai found Gao Junshan to complain, saying that he was unwilling to work in the navy.

"Why?" Gao Junshan asked.

Sun Dahai complained: "It's not interesting at all. I was soaked in the water all day, or I stayed on the boat, and I didn't even get on the shore. ”

Gao Junshan said: "You are a water army, of course you can only stay on the water." ”

Sun Dahai muttered, "I don't want to be a sailor." ”

Gao Junshan said earnestly: "The navy is the force for our future overseas development, for my father to put you in the current position, I have great hopes for you, in the future, our warships will cross the ocean, conquer the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Indian Ocean, the Arctic Ocean, if you don't practice your skills on the water, how can you command a huge fleet?" ”

Sun Dahai felt the weight of the burden on his body, he lowered his head embarrassedly, and reviewed himself: "It's all my fault, I didn't think so much, from now on, I will train well." ”

Gao Junshan smiled and patted Sun Dahai's shoulder: "Okay! It's good that you understand. Take me to meet Zhou Wenjiang. ”

On the bank of the Han River, willow trees are shady.

Gao Junshan's 300 sailors set up camp under the willow tree, and in the camp, Zhou Wenjiang, Li Jiuhua, and Pan Duao, three generals, were discussing the matter of training, and the guards opened the door curtain to report the arrival of Gao Junshan.

The three of them got up to greet each other, Gao Junshan walked in, followed by Sun Dahai, after Gao Junshan greeted the three of them, he waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and said: "I am a layman in the training of the navy, what do you need to put forward, I am not here to see your results this time, but I want to hear what you think about the training?" ”

Pan Duao said: "I don't have any opinions! Everyone is very involved in training. ”

Gao Junshan pushed Sun Dahai to the front: "This rabbit cub doesn't want to do the water army." ”

Sun Dahai lowered his head embarrassedly.

Li Jiuhua spoke for Sun Dahai and said, "No! Sun Baihu is the most active one in training. ”

Gao Junshan said calmly: "I can see from Sun Dahai that you have an understanding of the navy. Don't think that you are all idle, I want to vigorously develop the navy, and in the future, you will all be generalissimos, one will sit in the East, one will sit in the Americas, one will sit in the Mediterranean, and one will sit in the Indian Ocean. ”

Li Jiuhua said excitedly: "King Qin, as long as you give an order, all continents and seas, where you want me to go, I will call you!" ”

Gao Junshan approvingly: "Okay, full of confidence!" But we still have to stand for now! You train these 300 sailors well, and when the conditions are ripe, the navy will grow to 3,000, 30,000, 300,000! ”

Zhou Wenjiang swore an oath: "Please rest assured King Qin, we promise to bring out an invincible naval army!" ”

"Well, I trust you!" The performance of the leaders of the Gao Jun Landscape Army.

……

In June, the imperial court issued an order to transfer Long Zaitian back to Yunnan.

The reason was that the local gentlemen heard that Long Zaitian had connived at the troops to rob everywhere, and they talked about it, and asked the government to transfer Long Zaitian, so Zhu Youzhen ordered Long Zaitian to return to Yunnan under the command of the army.

Gao Junshan sent Long Zaitian ten miles to each other, and gave a generous gift, and also sent someone to escort Long Zaitian back to Guizhou before returning, which moved Long Zaitian to tears, in fact, Long Zaitian had long wanted to go back to his hometown to give birth.

In July, Liu Guoneng was in Suizhou, and he expressed his loyalty to Xiong Wencan: "The foolish people have been trapped in injustice for ten years, and Lai Gonghao has been reborn." I wish all of you to join the military and do your best. Xiong Wencan was overjoyed, comforted him, and signed it as a garrison, so that he was subordinate to Zuo Liangyu.

In August, the king of Shunyi was appeased in Xinyang, Henan, and Luo Rucai's nine battalions were gathered in the Yongning Mountains of Henan Province and surrendered to Xiong Wencan to rest his troops.

……

September, Tongguan.

Hong Chengchou, dressed in civilian civilian clothes and riding a jujube red horse, mixed in the middle of dozens of staff, suddenly appeared in Tongguan under the protection of hundreds of cronies and guards.

He also received the royal call of King Zhu Youqin, and it was rumored in the Tongguan area that Hong Chengchou had left Xi'an to go north to King Qin, so his arrival was not even known to the local gentry, and only Ding Qirui, the commander of Tongguan, went out of the city to greet him.

Ding Qirui welcomed Hong Chengchou and his entourage into Tongguan, and at the Daotai Yamen, Hong Chengchou secretly summoned several commanders and deputy generals stationed in Tongguan to inquire about Li Zicheng's current situation, and then rested in the signing room.

The next day, the governor of Shaanxi, Sun Chuanting, led his subordinates to meet Hong Chengchou, who had a teacher-student friendship with Sun Chuanting, and Hong Chengchou let him into the signing room, and even his own soldiers were refused to leave the curtain.

As soon as Sun Chuanting saw Hong Chengchou, he saluted: "The student is late, please punish the teacher!" ”

Hong Chengchou swept his beard and said with a smile: "Boya (Sun Chuanting), when the teacher came to Tongguan this time, he only informed Ding Qirui, you are stationed abroad, but you are only half a day late, how can you be blamed for the teacher?" Sit down, sit down. ”

After Sun Chuanting sat down, he asked, "The teacher came suddenly, presumably for the sake of Li Thief?" ”

Hong Chengchou said: "Boya, since the eradication of Gao Yingxiang, most of the thieves in Shaanxi have fled to Henan and Huguang, and these wandering thieves have either been exterminated or appeased, and now only Li Zicheng has not been exterminated." The purpose of the teacher's visit this time was to exterminate Li Zicheng. ”

Sun Chuanting was full of confidence: "With a teacher coming to sit in the town, even if the Li thief has wings, he will not escape death!" ”

Hong Chengchou cheered for Sun Chuanting: "If Li Thief can be captured alive in tomorrow's battle, this is a miracle!" ”

Sun Chuanting said: "The Li thief has been surrounded by students, and the thief will be captured tomorrow." ”

Hong Chengchou nodded excitedly: "As long as Li Zicheng is captured, I will ask the emperor for credit for you." ”

Sun Chuanting said politely: "Today, I can surround the thieves, relying on my teacher's clever calculation and good scheduling." The students do nothing and dare not be greedy for this miracle. ”

Hong Chengchou smiled: "Boya is too modest!" ”

Sun Chuanting requested: "The teacher secretly came to supervise the battle, and the morale of our army will definitely be greatly boosted." Please ask the teacher to give an order, and transfer all the horses of Sun Xianzu and Zu Dabi to the students for moderation, with the help of these two general soldiers, even if the Li thief is fierce and cunning, he will not escape the net. ”

Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "As long as you can capture Li Zicheng alive and relieve the worries of the imperial court, as a teacher, not only will you transfer all the horses and horses of Sun Xianzu and Zu Dabi to you, but the 50,000 horses I have controlled will also listen to Boya's dispatch tomorrow." ”

"Thank you!" Sun Chuanting hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him.

Hong Chengchou shouted outside the curtain: "Chinese army! ”

A majestic lieutenant general opened the curtain and came to Hong Chengchou to listen to the general's order.

"Waiting for the account!"

Hong Chengchou was wearing a red silk python suit with a golden rooster complement, a six-beam crown on his head, and a jade belt around his waist, sitting in the middle of the military tent, and the civilian and military generals who were summoned stood solemnly on the left and right.

Hong Chengchou coughed lightly, glanced at the civil and military forces, and said, "In tomorrow's battle, all the general soldiers will listen to Lord Sun's orders, and the headquarters will also come to supervise the battle." Generals of all sizes, who are ineffective in combat and cower in battle, will not be tolerated if there is Shang Fangjian in the headquarters and courtyard! ”
