Chapter XIX

After the banquet, Xiao Tian found Liu An alone and had a conversation, although Xiao Tian was a scumbag and Liu An was a fierce general, but he did not bring a guard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Commander Liu, I collided with you this time, I will compensate you first" said, he bowed deeply, Liu An sighed helplessly, he knew what Xiao Tian wanted to do, it was nothing more than a surrender. Speaking of which, Liu An also admires Xiao Tian, just now, Xiao Tian asked the victims to elect representatives, and tomorrow he will escort the remaining undistributed disaster relief grain to Jinan Mansion to help more people, and he only left ten boats of grain.

"I understand what you mean, many of the brothers admire you very much, we are now a defeated army, I am afraid that the court will find us to carry this black cauldron, and beat us into deserters or even rebels, the twists and turns in this may not understand, I do understand, I will go back and tell my brothers about the benefits, I will not stop those who are willing to go with you, and I hope you can let them go if you are unwilling, and if you can, I hope you can take their families away. As for me, the Liu family has been loyal for generations, but the jobs left by my ancestors were lost by me, and then let me sacrifice myself to be a thief, I am afraid that I will not be able to see my ancestors and ancestors. When you are gone, I will wipe my neck, hoping to sacrifice for the country."

Xiaotian actually understands Liu An's thoughts very well, the generals of the Ming Dynasty are all hereditary, except for some on the front line, there is no place to make military merits, so the ancestors who can be commanders in the local second-line troops are basically the founding heroes of the country who have been knighted, and such an identity is really better than death from a thief.

But the so-called thousands of troops are easy to get, a general is hard to find, marching and training soldiers and horses are all people's family learning, although others can also do it, but they are all half-hanging, although Xiaotian has gained a lot of soldiers and horses this time, but there are no talents who can train soldiers, and the marching formation is even more ignorant, it can be said that Liu An's value to Xiaotian alone is even more than the sum of all the personnel of the Dengzhou Naval Division. What's more, Liu An is a rare good officer in this era, and his prestige among the Dengzhou Sailors is extremely high, if he can surrender, it will be extremely helpful to recruit the Dengzhou Sailors. Therefore, Xiaotian has to recruit Liu An no matter what. Thinking of this, Xiao Tian decided to take a risk and reveal some real thoughts and plans to him.

"I understand everything you say, but there is one thing you don't know, there are some things I want to tell you, you are the first to know these things, I hope you can keep it secret for me"

Liu An saw that Xiaotian said solemnly, knowing that it was a big deal, and nodded very solemnly.

"My surname is Le Mingtian, I am a talented person with meritorious fame, my father is a Jinshi of the second class of the new department last year, and I am now living in the Hanlin Academy."

As soon as these words came out, a thunderbolt hit Liu An. You must know that the Ming Dynasty emphasized literature and light martial arts, and the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy was almost an existence that Liu An could only look up to, even if he could not enter the cabinet in the future, he would have the opportunity to become a scholar or a member of the party, how could he be a thief leader with such an identity and family background? This is really ridiculous, if others say that Liu An will never believe it, but what Xiaotian has done in the past two days Liu An saw it in his eyes, and unconsciously believed it.

"Xiao Xianggong has such an identity, so why did he become a thief?"

So Xiaotian told him how he was kidnapped, and how he was the second master by mistake, as for why he came to SD, of course, he came to be a righteous man, and tried his meager strength to save the people from fire and water, how amazing this B pretends.

"As for my plan, you can see it, now I want to run or want to report to the imperial court is easy, but you can't imagine the rampant extent of the southeast pirates, the imperial court's sailors are in trouble, and the vast sea doesn't know where their nest is, so I made up my mind not to destroy the pirates and swear not to enter Beijing, and I am willing to live as a thief and return the people on the southeast coast to a bright future, and when the pirates are exhausted, it will be the day when I return to the imperial court and return my official body. At this time, I wrote to my father as soon as I could, explaining the situation, and asked him to help me get the identity of a Jinyi Wei secret agent, and it is not difficult to think about it. I promise you, even if we are thieves, as long as I am alive, we will never aim our weapons at the poor people."

Xiao Tian's words are half-true, he did write the letter, but he didn't have such noble sentiments, these are just the tip of his huge plan, of course, there is no need to tell Liu An more.

Liu An has been frightened by Xiao Tian's words, he has regarded Xiao Tian as a celebrity who shoulders morality with iron shoulders, thinking about what Xiao Tian has done in the past two days, he can't help but believe a little, in his heart, Xiao Tian is Ban Dingyuan who has put pen to paper, Fan Zhongyan, who is worried about the world, and is shocked by what Xiao Tian has done and what he thinks. Thinking of this, he didn't say a word, fell to his knees and said, "Gongzi is high-righteousness, it's better to be ashamed, I am willing to look forward to Gongzi from now on, and go to the soup and fire."

Xiao Tian was overjoyed, and hurriedly helped him up, and said in his mouth, "You and I will be brothers from now on, and we will share wealth with you after the deed is completed, and we will never live up to the loyal soul of your ancestors."

In fact, there is a sentence that Liu An did not say, that is, the premise of his service is that what Xiao Tian said is true, this matter is too incredible, even if Xiao Tian is indeed different from other Japanese robes, but Liu An believes this at most thirty percent, but he does not dare to doubt, this is almost the only way for him to survive now, it is not strange that people will die with full loyalty when there is no hope, but even a little hope will ruthlessly deprive the courage to die, even if it is a scam, Liu An is willing to plant his head in it until one day it is exposed to the sun. No one wants to die, as long as there is a reason to live, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, including Dong Cunrui and Huang Jiguang.

Under Liu An's leadership, the incorporation of the Dengzhou Navy Division was very smooth, the original Dengzhou Navy Division was full of 8,000, Liu An was still incorruptible, and the salary was only 3,000, and the actual combat strength was less than 5,000 people, and more than 1,000 people died in the previous battle, and more than 3,000 people were left after Liu Anxiao took advantage of them, almost all of them surrendered, but they asked to accept their families, and the treatment of the Navy Division was worse than that of the ordinary army, and there were not many who could marry a daughter-in-law, but the father and mother were still there, fortunately, they were all villagers, and they were not far away.

More than 5,000 people before Xiaotian were left after two battles, and there were still a little more than 4,000 people left, and the blades of the soldiers killed in the Dengzhou Navy Division happened to be miscellaneous soldiers who did not have standard weapons in the armed team, so Xiaotian actually had a fully armed soldier team of 7,000 people, and the composition was extremely complex, so the reorganization was urgent, and the brain with zero military talent in Xiaotian could not command such a huge force at all.

It is certain that the Dengzhou Navy Division will become an independent army, and the commander must be Liu An, but the following from the chief to the thousand households have to move, otherwise Xiaotian's influence is too weak, which is not conducive to controlling this team. The remaining eight hundred remnants after Sauron's rebellion, now there are only more than seven hundred left, and the combat effectiveness is already the crown of the whole army after being armed with standard weapons, although these people are not experienced in a hundred battles, they can be regarded as several times of escape, He Dong chased after four days and those who were slightly worse were killed, and several times of living and dying together also made them extraordinarily united, whether it was to break up and reorganize or mix sand into it, it was not appropriate to simply form an independent army, although seven hundred people were less, but they could be built according to the requirements of the elite, Isn't there only 800 people in Gao Shun's camp during the Three Kingdoms?

It is easiest to bring out the 200 people by yourself, these people are still willing to go to sea with Xiaotian after Li Jin clearly disagrees, which can be regarded as the most loyal troops under Xiaotian, so they can be independently used as Xiaotian's escort, and the captain temporarily let Li Gouzi serve as the captain, because this person is Li Yan's cousin. The most difficult arrangement is the 800 refugees recruited by Xiaotian himself and the 3,000 recruits surrendered by He Dong's subordinates, these refugees have just completed the transfer, they are the ones who sacrificed the most in the battle last night, and now they are more than 3,000 together, this gang and the Dengzhou Navy Division have each other's lives, although they are now a family, but it is also difficult to get along in harmony, if they draw officers from the Dengzhou Water Division to manage them, they must mutiny, and all the officers of more than 100 households before them are He Dong's personal soldiers, Now it's all clicked, so it has to be supplemented with thirty hundred households and three thousand households. But you can't always draw lots to choose, so how to choose these grassroots officers is now Xiaotian's biggest headache.

On the land back to the island, Xiao Tian handed over all the ideological education to the escort team, except for the necessary ideological education work every day, which he personally presided over, and now the escort team can already initially spread some of Xiao Tian's thoughts after Xiao Tian's long-term brainwashing. Xiaotian spent most of his time in meetings, and he and Liu An repeatedly studied the reorganization.
