The sea off Qingzhou is the sea area where Duan Jingzhu and others encountered bandits that day. More than 40 large sea ships are moored side by side on the sea, which is spectacular.

Gu Haotian stood on the deck and set up a sacrifice for the Liangshan warriors who died that day. I saw that after he read the sacrificial text and sprinkled the liquor, he ordered Cheng Daring, Hao Yongnian, Qiu Feng and the remaining ten or so pirates to be escorted up.

"Liangshan heroes, the soul is back!"

At this time, I saw Gu Haotian standing on the bow of the boat, shouting to the sky.

"Liangshan heroes, the soul is back!"

"Liangshan heroes, the soul is back!"

Then a boatload of people, and then dozens of boats, shouted in unison. At that moment, the heavens and the earth changed color, and the sun and the moon were without light.

"It's worth it, it's worth it, Brother Erhu, it's worth it for you to die. Now that the petty officials have avenged everyone, if the heroic soul is not far away, come home with me. ”

Duan Jingzhu looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but feel emotional, with tears in his eyes.

Aliqi watched the whole process silently, and for the first time he felt a touch in his heart. The grassland people fought in all directions, and when they died, they were like a pasture grass and a cup of loess, so they were so exquisite. He secretly thought that this little official was a little different from that Liangshan.

The fleet sailed upstream, rushing for several days, and it was the end of November when it entered the water.

Golden Beach Water Village, after more than a month of full effort, the basic outline has been formed, the thick pine wood in the Golden Beach periphery into a square wall, the wharf is also built more atmospheric.

On this day, the golden sand beach is crowded with people standing to watch the excitement. Wen Huanzhang led a group of leaders on the mountain, and they also waited in the barracks on Golden Beach early.

At the end of the hour, a soldier who was on the lookout came over excitedly to report: "Come, come, the fleet of petty officials is coming." ”

So everyone came to the dock together, but they saw a huge fleet of ships coming towards them on the water in the distance. The tall and mighty warships in the water shocked people.

"The sailor battalion has made a lot of money this time, this is a warship!"

"Who said no, a few days ago, those good horses in the north cheapened the cavalry battalion, and today it is the turn of the sailor battalion Fali City."

In the crowd, all the leaders talked a lot, and their eyes were hot.

However, the Ruan family brothers, Taihu Sijie and other sailor leaders were proud and unusual, and the sailor battalion finally got rid of the embarrassing situation of not having warships, and they were confident enough to speak in front of the battalions in the future.

"Everyone, if you want to go to sea to have fun in the future, just find our sailor barracks, and you will not disappoint your brothers." Ruan Xiaowu couldn't wait to brag.

"You have to learn to use it first, otherwise you won't be able to get out of this water, and you even have to go to the sea to have fun." Ma Qiang quipped on the side.

"This kind of thing, the Ma Qiang brothers don't have to worry about it, as long as they distribute some of the good seedlings to the sailor camp in the future, the training camp will go to the capes of the sky, and I will send them to the sea."

……

In the midst of everyone's gossip, the fleet entered the water village in turn, and more than 40 large warships docked side by side on the side of the wall.

"The trip to Haotian Dengzhou has been very rewarding!"

On the dock, Wen Huanzhang looked at Gu Haotian who had been in the dust all the way, and couldn't help but be a little excited.

"The master just saw what was in front of him, but he didn't know that there was a bigger surprise ahead." Gu Haotian replied with a smile, and at the same time pulled Li Bao over to introduce everyone, "No, this Li Bao is one of the surprises I brought back." ”

Li Bao suddenly saw that the petty officials recommended him so ceremoniously to everyone, and he felt both grateful and deeply pressured, and secretly said to himself that he would not let the petty officials down.

At noon, Liangshan Restaurant held a celebration banquet, and everyone was drunk again.

As soon as he went, Gu Haotian went home to see his parents after the banquet, washed the dust, and then gave himself a day of vacation, after all, it was very tiring to fight continuously during Dengzhou, and there was a lovely Lian'er at home, and he also had to leave time for her to be alone.

In the morning, the winter day was just right, and the warm light sprinkled into the small building in the back mountain, and the aisles and floor slabs were dyed with a layer of faint gold. A slender woman walked into a bedroom lightly, only to see her slowly cover the slippery quilt in front of the bed, turn around and be about to leave, but was suddenly grabbed by the hand that suddenly stretched out behind her, and then she fell on the bed, and then was pulled into the quilt again.

"Don't ......"

"Hmm......"

The woman's mouth seemed to be gagged by something, and then there was no sound.

At the beginning of the Yin period, Gu Haotian appeared on the road to the front mountain, his mind kept replaying the charm of the moment in the morning, although there was no substantive action, but his hands did not hold back after all, and probed into the forbidden area on Lian'er's chest, the pair of warm and full, like jade and silk, he still felt the slippery palm of his hand.

"What do the little officials think? Indulge in intoxication. ”

"Ahh

Gu Hao came back to his senses in a moment's heel, but saw Du Qian and Xiao Rang standing on the side of the road, looking at him strangely, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"But thinking about Dengzhou, I'm a little distracted."

He dealt with it casually, and the three of them went to Zhonghua Hall together, Wen Huanzhang, Xiao Jiasui and others had already arrived, so everyone sat down and started the first meeting in recent months.

Du Qian first reported the harvest of this trip to Dengzhou.

"This time, the Four Seas Commercial Bank seized 370,000 taels of gold and silver, and Montenegro Island seized 70,000 taels, with a total of 440,000 taels in the two places; forty-three warships of all kinds; Three hundred and five horses were recaptured, and together with those originally brought back, a thousand and twelve horses were made; The value of the remaining items is undetermined. ”

"Thanks to the bandits of Montenegro." After Xiao Rang heard this, he said happily, "If it weren't for them robbing horses, we wouldn't have fought the idea of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, and now that we have a huge amount of money, not to mention the dozens of warships, we can't buy them with money." ”

"Director Xiao Rang is reasonable, our Liangshan has always had the strongest infantry, and the sailors and cavalry are weak, what is lacking is warships and horses, and now there are warships, although there are not many, but they have already started; The trade routes of Liaodi have been opened, and as long as they are properly maintained in the future, the war horses can be replenished in a steady stream. I thought it was time to reinforce the cavalry battalions and sailors. ”

Xiao Jiasui is in charge of the Military Affairs Department, so the first thing he thinks about is the matter of the guards.

"There is still a shortage of people, a few days ago I was worried about the lack of horses, but now there are fewer horses."

Gu Haotian sighed, unexpectedly that he now had happy troubles.

"This matter is easy to solve, a few days ago Zhu Gui sent a letter from Jinling Town, saying that there are more than 200 strong miners in the mine, and they will be sent to the mountains in the near future, just in time to supply the cavalry battalion."

Wen Huanzhang has been thinking about using these people there for the past two days? Now it's just right.

"That's the best, the miners are just right for the cavalry." Xiao Jiasui was overjoyed when he heard it.

"It's just that I'm still a little worried." Wen Huanzhang hesitated for a moment, and continued, "Haotian's warship this time, passing from Jishui, there are countless people in sight, and the Dengzhou government can know as long as it makes a little inquiry, and then it will naturally come to Liangshan, and Haotian can have a countermeasure." ”

"What the master is worried about, I have also made arrangements, in the Black Mountain Island and the Four Seas Commercial Bank, we have found a lot of evidence of collusion between officials and bandits, I have moved to Dengzhou in time, and reported these evidence to the prefect, if that guy is interested, he will not dare to act rashly in the near future. As for the future, who knows what will become of this world. ”

With the continuous strengthening of Liangshan's strength, Gu Haotian's style of doing things is becoming tougher and tougher, and he knows very well in his heart that the confrontation with the imperial court is only a matter of time, and all he has to do now is to continue to accumulate strength and improve his strength.

The half-day meeting mainly set the tone for the next step of the sailors and cavalry. More than 100 people from the Black Mountain Island and Dengzhou Naval Divisions joined the sailor battalion after training, and Li Bao temporarily served as the deputy commander of the first sailor battalion.

After the cavalry is expanded, it will reach 1,000 people, and Gu Haotian wants to form a cavalry teaching team with Aliqi and more than 20 Liao people who came with the horses, specializing in coaching horsemanship. These Liao people grew up on horseback since childhood, and their riding skills are naturally first-class.

And if these people can return to their hearts, the Liao State will be destroyed in the future, and Liangshan will be able to use their banners to attract more Liao people to surrender, and then the cavalry of Liangshan will not have a source of soldiers. As for whether these people can dissolve in, Gu Haotian is confident.

After the meeting, Gu Haotian asked Bian Xiang to call Duan Jingzhu and gave him a special explanation, asking him to not only buy horses but also take in the population when he returned to Liaodi in the north.

After returning from Dengzhou, the logistics department issued a large amount of funds to the relevant meritorious service and participants. Therefore, every time it comes to meals, Liangshan Restaurant is a little more lively than in the past.

In the evening of this day, Duan Jingzhu held a banquet at Liangshan Restaurant to thank Aliqi for saving his life, and Gu Haotian and others were also invited.

It was the first time for Aliqi to come to Liangshan Restaurant, and the table was full of exquisite delicacies that he had never seen before, and his eyes were about to fall. At this moment, Duan Jingzhu opened a wine bottle, and the rich aroma immediately diverted his attention from the dish.

"This is very wine, fragrant, give me a taste."

The men of the steppe have the least resistance to wine, and Aliqi is impatient to drink.

"This wine is very strong, can the Aric brothers drink it?" At this time, Gu Haotian seemed to be kind enough to remind.

"I'm a man from the grassland, what kind of liquor haven't been drunk, just pour it."

"I don't believe it, but no one in Liangshan has ever drunk five bowls of this wine."

"Hmph, you Han people drank a lot of alcohol at that time."

"Don't be reckless, we might as well make a bet, if you don't get drunk after drinking five bowls, I will promise you a request, if you are drunk, you will follow my request, and dare to fight."

"It's just five bowls, why don't you dare." Aric was full of confidence and responded in one bite.

So Duan Jingzhu immediately poured five bowls of liquor, Aliqi picked up a bowl casually, and when he took a full sip, he was immediately stunned, "How strong is this wine", his heart suddenly became uneasy, but looking at the table full of people who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he just stubbornly continued.

Three bowls, to be precise, three bowls more than one bite, and Aliqi slammed on the table and didn't wake up.

The next day, when Gu Haotian put forward the condition that he should be the captain of the cavalry teaching, Aric did not say a word of nonsense.

Just ask: "How many bottles of good wine can I buy with my salary." ”
