Shi Luosheng thought for a while and said, "If General Huang is willing, from today onwards, even if General Huang is the deputy commander of my Great Song Water Army, the garrison on Xiachuan Island will still be under the command of General Huang. The food and weapons and equipment required by the garrison on weekdays are also provided by our Great Song Dynasty Imperial Court, and General Huang does not need to go to Xianghu to serve if he has nothing to do on weekdays, all you need to do is to cooperate with the military activities of the Great Song Dynasty on the sea in the future, and to defend the peace of this sea area with the Xianghu Water Army. ”

Shi Luosheng's words sounded like he was going to recruit Huang Songsheng at first glance, but in fact, he was just nominally surrendering to Xiachuan Island, except for planting a flag symbolizing the Great Song Kingdom on Xiachuan Island, he didn't need Huang Songsheng to pay anything extra to get the support of the Great Song Dynasty. Although Xiachuan Island can be self-sufficient, most of the residents on the island are still mainly pirates, they are not good at production, and can only survive by plundering, so they are still very poor, and now they have the opportunity to be supported by the Great Song Dynasty, which is also a big temptation for Xiachuan Island.

As for the conditions put forward by Shi Luosheng, such as the so-called cooperation with the naval military activities of the Great Song Naval Army, that is to say, the Great Song Naval Army has only been established for two years, and it will not have the ability to carry out far-sea activities in the past ten years. In addition, there is the protection of peace in this sea area, which is also false, Yan and Song are allies, and the two countries will naturally not have a war, and the main target of Qi now is Yan State, and Song State cannot be taken into account for the time being. Even if Yan is destroyed by Qi in the future, and Song becomes the next target of Qi, before attacking Song, Qi will first exterminate all pirates in the nearby seas.

Huang Songsheng asked a little excitedly: "General Shi also offered the same conditions to Changxing Island, so they agreed to send troops?" ”

Ling Zhen hurriedly replied: "It's not a secret, General Shi didn't put forward such generous conditions for Changxing Island, Brother Huang, you also know that there is trade between our Changxing Island and Penglai Port, if Penglai is occupied by the Qi army, our line will also be broken, so this is the main reason why we agreed to General Shi to send troops." ”

Huang Songsheng thought for a while after hearing this: "General Shi, I have to say that the conditions you offered are very generous, but this matter is related to the future of my Xiachuan Island, General, please sit here for a while, and I will give you an answer after discussing it with my second and third brothers." ”

Shi Luosheng nodded and said, "That's right, General Huang, please take care of yourself." ”

Huang Songsheng took the second master Ni Yun and the third master An Shirong to the back hall, and Shi Luosheng asked Ling Zhendao: "Teacher, do you think General Huang will agree?" ”

Ling Zhen said: "With my understanding of Huang Songsheng, he was already tempted just now, now it depends on what his second and third masters think, if they don't strongly agree with it, there should be no problem." ”

Huang Songsheng didn't let everyone wait for a long time, and in less than half an hour, the three of them returned to the hall again. Huang Songsheng said: "General Shi just offered the conditions, to be honest, Huang is really tempted, but this opponent Jiang Huanyan is not an unknown person, and we still don't have absolute certainty if we want to win him." Huang's third brother An Shirong also has a good relationship with Niu Qingyuan of Shangchuan Island, if General Shi can persuade Yan Guo to recruit Shangchuan Island on the same terms, Huang is willing to take the third brother to persuade Niu Qingyuan, and then our Fifth Route Alliance will be a little more sure of dealing with Jiang Huanyan. ”

Huang Songsheng's words were in the middle of Shi Luosheng's arms, and he originally planned to go to Shangchuan Island to find a way to persuade Niu Qingyuan after recruiting Huang Songsheng, and now Huang Songsheng himself offered to take An Shirong to recruit Shangchuan Island, if Shangchuan Island finally agreed to send troops, then Shangchuan Island, Xiachuan Island, Changxing Island plus Song and Yan naval armies, the five-way coalition army will have a higher chance of defeating Jiang Huanyan.

Now that Cheng Buwu, the deputy commander of Yan Guo's naval army, is also here, if he is willing to agree, he can also take the opportunity to make some more demands on Huang Songsheng. Now the Great Song Dynasty's navy is too weak, and a talent like Huang Songsheng is urgently needed to help him train the navy. I believe that after this time, Xiao Daocheng and Deng Yuanjue will also notice the importance of the navy, and will definitely agree to increase investment in the construction of the navy.

Thinking of this, Shi Luosheng turned around and asked Cheng Bu beside him: "Commander Cheng, you see the conditions proposed by General Huang, can you accept them on behalf of Commander Ning?" ”

Cheng Bu is not worried, as long as he can solve the crisis in Penglai this time, there is nothing not to agree, and recruiting an overseas naval army is not much of an expense for Yan Guo. In the past, Yan Guo and Song Guo did not attach importance to the construction of the water army, this time Jiang Huan Yan taught everyone a good lesson, His Majesty and General Ning will also increase investment in the construction of the water army in the next step, if he can recruit An Shangchuan Island, it will be regarded as a great achievement.

Cheng Buxian didn't think too much about it, and said directly: "There is no problem, if Commander Ning is sure, he will agree, and we Dayan can accept the same conditions." ”

Shi Luosheng was overjoyed and said to Huang Songsheng again: "General Huang, this person next to me is Cheng Buwu, the deputy commander of the naval army of Yan State, and he can accept your conditions on behalf of Commander Ning." In addition, Luosheng has one more thing to ask for, if General Niu of Shangchuan Island is also willing to return to the Yan Kingdom, then we will have a better chance of defeating Jiang Huanyan. I hope that after repelling the Qi army this time, General Huang can send some elite backbones to serve in Xianghu to help our Great Song Dynasty also train a powerful naval army, and the personnel and tenure are all decided by General Huang. ”

Huang Songsheng saw that Cheng Bu was so happy to agree, and he simply said generously: "This is natural, when we are also the troops of the Great Song Dynasty, it is our responsibility to build a strong naval army, general, please rest assured, when we will send elite soldiers and strong generals to Xiachuan Island, our three brothers will also take turns to serve in Xianghu to help Dong Commander train the naval army together." If the Qi army wants to come to annihilate us in the future, without the support of the Xianghu Water Army, it will be impossible for our few small forces hanging overseas to resist it. ”

Seeing that Huang Songsheng not only has a long-term view, but also understands things and is very happy. Huang Songsheng continued: "It's only half a day's journey to Shangchuan Island and Xiachuan Island, so I'll ask General Shi to stay in my Xiachuan for one night tonight, and I'll go to Shangchuan Island with my third brother now to persuade Niu Qingyuan to surrender, and Commander Cheng will also go with us if it's convenient, after all, you represent the Yan Imperial Court." ”

Cheng Bu is naturally not worried: "Then ask General Huang to lead the way." ”

After Huang Songsheng and the three left, Ni Yun, the second leader of Xiachuan Island, also took Shi Luosheng, Ling Zhen and others to visit the training of the navy on Xiachuan Island, and explained a lot of methods of training the navy with the two. Although Ling Zhen has led the army for many years, his understanding of the navy is still not as good as Ni Yun's, and Ni Yun's explanation has also made the two of them gain a lot of knowledge.
