Shi Bao said: "Brother Sun's martial arts are superb, Shi Bao admires. More. 。 ”

The two of them were reconciled, and Yang Zhi wanted to go over to have a discussion, but considering Shi Bao's repeated 'fierce' battles, at this time, it was not appropriate to win or lose, so he had to give up.

Chao Gai said: "It's been a long time since I fought, and I've already prepared a meal, so why not talk while eating." ”

Shi Bao said: "Chao Tuan practiced to rest the monster, I have always done things like this, and I am not busy eating first." I am very optimistic about the army trained by the Jeju regiment, and it is also in line with my temperament, but I don't know what the ambition of Chao regimental training is. ”

Chao Gai said: "Please go to the Chinese army to talk in detail." ”

The other generals saw that Shi Bao was not in a hurry to eat, and they all went to eat, and the training in the Jeju regiment was harsh, and the energy consumption was extremely high, and they were so hungry that they were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs when they arrived.

In the Chinese army, there were only a few people, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Jiao Ting, and Luo Yun accompanied Shi Bao.

Chao Gai said: "Brother Shibao wants to know something, please say it, Chao Gai will tell him bluntly." ”

Shi Bao looked at Chao Gai and Wu Yong, and said: "When the current situation is today, I think the two of you are very clear, my Great Song Dynasty seems to be calm and quiet, but in fact, the wind and clouds are surging underneath, above the temple, the rotten wood is the official; Cai Jing, Gao Yu and other 'traitorous' ministers control the government, and how many heroes serve the country without a 'door'. The Quartet is also surging in the undercurrent of the Quartet, and Wang Qing of Huaixi is secretly recruiting troops to develop his power. Jiangnan La, with the help of the 'flower' stone gang, preaches in all directions, I am afraid that he is also suspicious. Hebei Tianhu is also secretly developing forces. Not to mention that the bandits in the four places occupy the mountain as the king, there are two in front of them, one is the 'mixed' world demon king Fan Rui, occupying Mangdang Mountain. One is to rain the Song River in time and occupy four cottages in Qingzhou. ”

Wu Yong said: "The 'chaos' world is coming, and heroes are rising all over the world, and the Shibao brothers know all kinds of heroes, why they value our Jeju army." ”

Shi Bao sighed: "Originally, Shi Bao first took refuge in the imperial court, and there was a way to learn literature and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family. I also said in the restaurant today that no one wanted me to go to the capital and no one wanted me, but it was ridiculous that Gao Yanei of the City Patrol Division wanted to recruit me as a bodyguard. I also saw the evil 'sex' of the city patrol division, and when I heard what happened to Lin Chong and Yang Zhi, I was disheartened. The second thing that comes to mind is to go to Fangla, the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, a land of wealth. With this as a basis, they will definitely be able to achieve great things, but I found that they rely on religious propaganda to 'superstitious' the people, and they really do too little. Therefore, I thought of the Jeju Army, and I heard that Jeju Nai is the north of the Yangtze River, the land of 'jade' rice, and the people are rich. The Jeju army has done a lot of good things for the people, and as expected, Jeju is as rich as Jiangnan, with herds of cattle and horses, and developed industry and commerce. I visited the people again and found that the Jeju Army had a very good reputation, planting trees in spring and autumn and digging rivers in winter. ”

I didn't expect this Shi Baolai to do so much work before taking refuge in himself, it seems that word of mouth is still very important.

Chao Gai said: "Brother Shibao is observing very carefully. ”

Shi Bao said: "These can be used for show, not seriously, what impressed me the most is the people of Jeju, whether rich or poor, over the age of sixteen can have their own weapons." Chao Tuanlian did this, which was very determined, and it showed that the interests of the Jeju army and the people were the same, otherwise they would never dare to do this. Throughout history, only the literati of the Han and Tang dynasties wore swords, and the samurai carried swords. ”

Shi Bao has good martial arts and knowledge, so it seems that there is no need to call him haha.

Chao Gai opened a huge map, which was not only the map of the Great Song Dynasty, but also Liao, Jin, Goryeo, Japan, and many other places.

Chao Gai said: "Jeju has Shuibo Yangsan as the backing, is the north-south thoroughfare, the land is 'fertile', the population is large, it is the big granary of Jingdong, and now it is a lot of taxes, but this is only the surface. Jeju is too close to Tokyo and there are not many dangers, and Jeju's thousands of troops are simply not enough to withstand the invasion of a powerful foreign enemy. So we built an island here under the full jurisdiction of Jeju Tuanlian. ”

Chao Gai pointed to New Jeju Island. ”

Shi Bao said: "It seems to be very far away here, close to Goryeo." ”

Chao Gai said: "At present, there are more than 100,000 immigrants recruited from all over the country, mainly engaged in marine fishing, work and punishment, and have more than 1 million arable land, which is not only a big granary, but also a big military station. ”

"How big is it? There is such a small dot on this map. Shi Bao asked.

Chao Gai said: "The area is not very large, equivalent to the area of Jeju Prefecture, but it is surrounded by the sea, and the benefits of fish and salt are very rich, and there is more convenience for trade, so my army has abundant salaries, and there is never a need to loot the people and exploit the merchants." ”

"Okay, this new Jeju Island must be stabilized, and the development of the northern control of Goryeo, the southern control of the Dongying, the absolute military point." Shi Bao Road.

Chao Gaiyi pointed to the Heilong Island in the northeast corner and said: "This huge island is located in the sea near the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, more than 1,000 miles long from north to south, more than 200 miles wide from east to west, there are more than 100,000 natives on the island, only the Black Dragon City established by the Liao State is now under the jurisdiction of our army, plus immigrants, a total of 200,000 people are still there." With these two big islands, no matter how bad it is, you can be a local overlord and stabilize the people, if the world is really 'chaotic', there is also some capital to come out and compete for hegemony in the Central Plains. At present, the most important thing is to manage these two islands well, develop agriculture, animal husbandry, industry and commerce, accumulate grain, grass, and horses, and establish themselves in an invincible position first. ”

Shi Bao pondered: "This place is completely on the back of the Jin Kingdom, and the Jin Kingdom will definitely be on his back after learning about it, and he will definitely try to get rid of this place." ”

Wu Yong said: "Brother Shi Bao's analysis is very right, if the Jin Kingdom knew that it was the people of the Great Song Kingdom who occupied the Black Dragon Island, they would definitely be restless, but there was no need to be too anxious, first of all, the land here is vast and sparsely populated, and the Jin tribes opposite the Black Dragon Island are sparsely populated, plus the people of the Jin Kingdom are not used to water warfare, and the shipbuilding technology is outdated, so even if he wants to fight, he is not capable." Second, Jin has not yet formally established a state, and is fighting a 'fierce' battle with Liao in the Liaoning area, and the main force of Jin's soldiers cannot retreat for a while. Third, we have deployed more than 10,000 'elite' soldiers on the island, and we have the strength to fight with the Jin soldiers. ”

Shi Bao stood up and bowed: "Shi Bao is willing to take refuge in the Jeju Army, and he will not regret it even if he is covered by his brother's horse. ”

Chao Gai hurriedly helped: "Brother Shibao, please get up quickly." Chao Gai helped Shi Bao up, and Wu next to him said congratulations: "Congratulations to my brother for winning this talent, Brother Shi Bao is really a general." ”

After saying goodbye, everyone sat down again, Chao Gai asked people to take the food to the Chinese army, and everyone chatted while eating.

Chao Gai said: "Master Wu, tell Brother Shibao about the situation of our Jeju Army, and I have a good psychological background." ”

Wu Yong said: "Although the Jeju group training is a local group training, although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs. The deployment of troops is a secret in the army, and the Shi Bao brothers are requested not to leak it. At present, there are 1,000 naval troops, 1,500 cavalry, and 2,000 infantry in Jeju Province. There are also five hundred patrols. Plus the bits and pieces are more than 6,000 points, there is nothing to say about this equipment, ordinary soldiers have helmets and armor, especially our armor is made of outer skin and inner steel, which can be regarded as strong. Not to mention conventional weapons such as knives and spears, the navy has more than 100 giant crossbows, the cavalry is equipped with a small number of hand-held crossbows, and the artillery is also equipped with a small amount. As for the overseas army, it is mainly infantry, and the number of cavalry is small, and the cavalry infantry is about 15,000 people. There were also 4,000 men in the four naval armies, and hundreds of warships. ”

Wu Yong gave a brief introduction, Shi Bao was dumbfounded, good guy, the local army in Jeju plus the overseas army is 30,000 people, this can still be called Jeju group training, I don't know how many people have been deceived by Chao Gai, this Chao Gai's ability to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger is still first-class.

Chao Gai said: "I don't know if Brother Shibao wants to go to the Water Army, the Infantry Army, or the Ma Army." At present, there is basically no fighting in the navy, mainly to protect merchant ships and escort migrants. The treatment of the infantry army is slightly worse than that of the horse army, but the military salary of the generals of the same level is the same. ”

Shi Bao said: "Since Shi Bao is here, he should follow the arrangement, my personal opinion, where to go to war, arrange where I go." ”

Chao Gai said: "Okay, let's arrange for you to go to the cavalry, first assist Wang Jin and Luan Ting 'Yu' in the army to train the soldiers, and after a while, I will bring you three hundred cavalry." ”

Shi Bao was very happy, and the 'agitation' that he couldn't suppress in his heart, the three hundred cavalry said that it was not too much, but it was a lot less.

Immediately said: "I have a request, I don't know if my brother can agree." ”

Chao Gai said: "Although it is blunt. ”

"Can the cavalry of my battalion also be equipped with iron-hoofed horses?" Shi Bao said.

Wu Yong said with a smile: "The iron hoof horse is short, its appearance is not good, not to mention that in my Great Song Dynasty, even the Liao State is not valued, only the people of the ancient tribe of the Liao State 'Mongolian' attach importance to this kind of horse, the reason is that the 'Mongolian' ancients have few iron tools, which are more precious, and it is difficult to play a horseshoe, so they attach importance to the iron hoof horse, so this horse is not precious, and it should not be a problem to get together three hundred." ”

Chao Gai said: "This horse does have advantages, the endurance speed is better than the ordinary 'Meng' ancient horse, it seems to have to develop more, I don't know when the Duan Jingzhu brothers will transport the horses over." ”

Shi Bao's joining made Chao Gai a little overjoyed, although there have been many people who have come to defect over the years, including many generals like Xiang Ou Peng and Ma Lin, and more professionals like Jiang Jing and Tao Zongwang, but there are really not many people like Shi Bao who are good at martial arts and can lead troops.

On the second day, the army held a banquet to welcome Shi Bao to join. During the banquet, Yang Zhi asked about Shi Bao's marksmanship, and Shi Bao said that although he was a Fujianese, his ancestors fled from Tai'an, Shandong, and his marksmanship was also from his ancestors, plus his own pondering.

Shi Bao's physique is excellent, and he is familiar with cross-country, single and parallel bars training in the army, and he is familiar with it in a few days. The military department has gathered 300 iron-hoofed horses, but there is no ready-made cavalry reserve, so it can only recruit new soldiers and let Shi Bao train from scratch.

The business negotiations over there are also very smooth, and the price given by Fujian Zhengjia Tea Store is reasonable and fair, and the two sides are win-win, and they can do long-term cooperation.
