Zhoushan Shengsi sea area.

Three merchant ships turned warships float on the sea, and Lotte stands on the ship, his eyes on the island in the distance, and his eyes are solemn.

He stayed at the stronghold outside Wang Yuanwai for two days, arranged the artillery ammunition sent from Biandu on the ship, and ordered someone to send Wang Blacksmith and others back to Biandu, and Lotte went to sea and headed for Zhoushan.

"Master Hou, let Master Lu and others come to see Master Hou, Master Hou, why should you risk your life!" Tu Si, who was standing beside Lotte, pleaded bitterly.

"Master Hou, let's go to the island with Mr. Lu to pass Master Lu and come here to see Master Hou!" Chen Hoop Bucket, who accompanied the boat, also said.

Huang Kanjian was also anxious to shout: "Master Hou, there are more than 10,000 people under the command of Master Lu, if he really has different ambitions, Master Hou, you ......."

"I'm up to my heart, don't say more!" Without waiting for Huang Kanjian to finish speaking, Lotte waved his hand.

Regardless of the persuasion of the crowd, Lotte continued to instruct: "When Benhou goes to the island, if there is any change, Benhou will order someone to release a rocket as a signal, you just use artillery to smash all the ships on Shengsi Island, and then bring the officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress it!" ”

……

Shengsi Island is located at the northeast end of Zhoushan, belongs to Yin County, Mingzhou, is located in the vast sea, there are many people in the sea, although it is the boundary under the rule of Yin County, but there are no people living at all, and it has become a pirate entrenchment for a long time.

As early as when Lotte was the magistrate of Qiantang, the bandits in Hangzhou Bay had been suppressed, and now the sea area in this area has become the base of Wang Yuanwai and others.

Before, the 10,000 horses placed in Shengsi by Lotte were dismantled and separated, the old, weak, sick and disabled and those who did not want to stay were sent home, and the remaining young and strong people were not placed in Dongying, but were dismantled and placed in the caravan by Lotte, and now only Lv Shisang and 10,000 horses under his command are stationed here.

Since ancient times, duplicity, duplicitous, and rebel are as many as cow hairs, Lu Shi Nang led 10,000 horses to station on the island, and made a big vote in Guangzhou to make a lot of brain fat, as the so-called people's hearts are separated from the belly, Lu Shi Nang will not be willing to submit is really difficult to say.

In fact, the army of Lu Shisang has already been planted by Lotte, and the 10,000 horses of Lu Shisang were dismantled and dispersed by Lotte, although Lu Shisang did not say anything, but the generals and soldiers under his command were a little indignant.

How to deal with Lu Shisang and the 10,000 horses under his command has become Lotte's biggest headache. Yesterday, when Lotte had a headache about this matter, Lu Jiang came over, knew what Lotte was thinking, and talked about a character called Dou Jiande in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties and the self-proclaimed king of Changle.

Although Lv General, Chen Hoop Bucket and Lv Shisang are all under the command of Fang La, but Lv Shisang is obviously a prince, although Lv Shisang is a Manichaean, but Lv Shisang is his own banner to pull out the rebellion, in the root, and Lv Jiang and Chen Hoop Bucket are not a pure group.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, Dou Jiande's family was slaughtered by the Sui army, and Dou Jiande was under Gao Shida. Subsequently, the Sui army swept away all the righteous armies under the leadership of the Sui general Yang Yichen, and only Gao Shida was killed in battle, and the rebels from all walks of life were beaten to the throat.

The fall of the rebels was imminent, and Yu Shiji, an important minister of the Sui Dynasty who had long been jealous of Yang Yichen's merits, slandered in front of Emperor Yang of Sui, and Yang Yichen, who was working hard, was inexplicably transferred back. Dou Jiande, whose fate was hanging by a thread, was blessed by misfortune, and the bandit army from all walks of life, who had been chased by Yang Yichen like a lost dog, rushed over to run, and the men and horses in his hands grew like a snowball, and soon reached 100,000. Dou Jiande became rich overnight, but in fact, for Dou Jiande, this is a difficult moment to test his ability.

More than 100,000 horses look scary, but all of them are from bandits, one person has one mind, a little bit of wind and grass, and it is fast to turn their faces and turn over the water, and these horses are not only a mess of loose sand but also a mess.

With General Lu's persuasion, Lotte's heart suddenly brightened, and the trouble that Dou Jiande encountered, the trouble he encountered in front of him was really not a thing. And similar troubles, Han Gaozu Liu Bang also encountered, after the destruction of Qin, Xiang Yu not only killed innocents indiscriminately, but also disposed of unfairly in the distribution of fiefdoms, causing disputes among the princes to be peaceful and chaotic, and some people with a little strength ran to Liu Bang, and also had Han Xin's sentence: Liu Bang brought a maximum of 100,000 people, and if he brought more, he would definitely drop the chain.

After being reminded by General Lu, Lotte hurriedly went to the history books, only to see that Dou Jiande's ability far surpassed Liu Bang, no matter what kind of dirty people, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, he threw himself under Dou Jiande, and immediately turned around gorgeously and became a disciplined teacher.

In essence, Dou Jiande not only has strict discipline in leading the troops, but also has the means of both grace and power, and he takes the reason of example, without simplicity in food and clothing, even if he treats ordinary soldiers, his attitude is also very easy-going.

Although Dou Jiande has set a good example for future generations, Shengsi's situation is obviously different from Dou Jiande's, and after some hesitation, Lotte still decided to go to Shengsi Island in person.

……

After receiving the notification, Lotte came to Shengsi Island, and Lu Shisang hurriedly led a group of generals to the beach to greet him.

"I've seen Master Hou!"

Seeing Lotte, Lu Shisang and a group of generals under his command hurriedly saluted.

"Don't be polite!" Lotte holds hands with each other. While speaking, Lotte glanced at the generals and saw that there were many disapproving generals, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

The attitude shows everything, not only Lotte, but also Yang Zhi and Wu Song, who accompanied him, also looked solemn and always on guard.

After the ceremony, Lu Shisang hurriedly introduced Lotte and his party into the camp tent and ordered someone to set up a banquet, Lotte naturally took the first place, and Lu Shisang and his generals sat beside him.

The wine and food are all together, and between pushing the glass and changing the lamp, Lotte smiled and said: "General Lu has gained a lot from this trip to Hangzhou!" ”

Speaking of Hangzhou, Lu Shisang smiled and said: "Master Hou, Guangzhou's ticket is neat, those officials and soldiers in Guangzhou City are a bunch of wine bags and rice bags, we have just entered the city, the pacification envoys in Guangzhou City, the prefect and other officials in the yamen are running fast, and it is not easy to occupy Guangzhou City, the temples of the Tianfang Sect were burned clean by the brothers, the officials and businessmen surnamed Pu are full of doors, and those who believe in the Tianfang Sect were stabbed one by one by the brothers, and they all saw the king of Hades, it was really happy!" ”

After speaking, Master Lu ordered: "Go quickly, sort out all the gifts I am going to offer to Hou Ye, and go back to Hou Ye to send them to Hangzhou." ”

Lotte refused: "No merit is not punished, how can Le Mou dare to accept this gift, and all of them will be shared with his brothers!" ”

"Master Hou, don't be humble, it's all a piece of my heart that I'm waiting for!" Lu Shisang said busily.

Shaking his head, Lotte's eyes fell on the soldiers on the island, and said: "It's not easy for brothers to leave their hometowns, and now the chaos has calmed down, if there are brothers who want to return home, let them bring some money and property, go home and make a good living, and always live in the sea to hide and hide!" ”

When Lotte's voice fell, the general of the rebel army who was sitting with him said through wine: "I don't know how happy I was when I waited for this day, and there was no food and drink on this island, so I just went out to sweep around and I had everything, is it so comfortable to go home and farm?" ”

"Merry?" Lotte couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, looked at the general of the righteous army, and said coldly: "To be a thief is to be a thief after all, don't say that you can't raise your head anywhere, even if your children and grandchildren can't raise your head before people!" ”

Another general of the righteous army shouted through the wine: "What is this that Hou Ye said? If the court asks me to have a way to live, will we rebel? ”

"There are no rules, when Lu is not there?" Seeing that his generals and Lotte were talking back, Lu Shisang opened his mouth and reprimanded.

Wu Song, who was following Lotte behind, said in a deep voice: "General Lu, these brothers under your command really don't know the rules!" ”

Lu Shinang's face was a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything.

At this time, another general of the rebel army stood up and said: "Hou Ye Le took advantage of the fact that Lu Shuai led us to go south to Guangzhou, and dismantled and scattered the 10,000 horses left by Lu Shi on the island, has Hou Ye discussed with Lu Shuai?" ”

didn't speak, Lotte just set his eyes on Lu Shinang, but saw that Lu Shisang didn't make a sound, obviously the general said what Lu Shisang thought.

Seeing this, Lotte sneered: "General Lu is desperate and has no way to join Le, and Le has no power to command and use it?" ”

At this time, there was laughter, and I only heard someone say: "Hou Ye Le, you are the master of the Great Song Dynasty, if the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty knows that the Hou Ye secretly sheltered our group of chaotic parties, I don't know what the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty should think?" What kind of fate will Hou Ye end up with! ”

Hearing this, Wu Song and Yang Zhi behind Lotte glared angrily at the rebel general, and at the same time pressed their hands on their waists to prevent anything unforeseen from happening.

Looking at Lu Shinang, Lotte smiled and said: "Does General Lu mean that General Lu wants to deduce a scene with Le, Mr. Dongguo and the wolf?" ”

I know that if Lotte hadn't rescued him in time, he and his 20,000 horses would have been suppressed by the officials and soldiers sooner or later, and there would be no scum left.

Knowing that he was wrong, Lu Shisang hurriedly got up and bowed: "Don't blame Hou Ye, these brothers under the command of the last general are all born in the grass and have never seen much of the world, so they are very rude, the last general is here to ask Hou Ye for guilt, and I hope that Hou Ye will not blame!" ”

Looking at the generals during the banquet, Lotte said slowly: "Le Mou dismantled and resettled the 10,000 horses left by General Lu on the island, not to mention that Shengsi Island can tolerate so many people and horses, 20,000 horses cost 500,000 or 600,000 yuan per year, and without tax support, who can raise it?" If you go to sea to fight and rob, you will not be able to feed 20,000 horses, and it will even attract the encirclement and suppression of the official army!

Le dismantled and separated the 10,000 brothers, and for the old and frail, the disabled and those who did not want to stay in the army, they were all dispersed with property and dismissed, and the rest were retained for the sea trade caravan or placed in Le's overseas industry, so as to solve the difficult problem, what is wrong with Le's arrangement? ”

Lu Shisang and the generals in charge of grain and grass under his command all admitted in their hearts that what Lotte said was the truth, and he couldn't raise 20,000 horses on Shengsi Island at all, even if he went to sea to rob, he couldn't feed them, and if he didn't get it, he would attract the encirclement and suppression of the officials and troops, and there were really not many ships in his hands, and they were all merchant ships.

Looking at the generals of the rebel army, Lotte continued: "Le's words will be placed here, the previous 10,000 horses were decomposed and resettled by Le, and now the 10,000 horses left on the island, Lotte will also be dismantled and resettled according to the previous plan!" ”

"Master Hou, you don't take us too seriously!"

After Lotte's voice fell, someone immediately shouted at the banquet.
