The first voyage of the Golden and Silver Carp invariably became their first battle. At this time, Li Shi didn't know that Xiao Sheng had already mastered the core idea of his clipper. Although there are slight differences with the tactics of later generations to seize the T-shaped position at high speed, after all, his cannon is not fierce enough, so Xiao Sheng is biting the opponent's ass, but the principle is the same.

The reason why the Silver Carp was regarded as a sea wall by Hu Hanshan and won a failed battle was not only because he did not understand such a principle, but also because the level of the boatmen was not up to par, and there was no way for the Silver Carp to complete that series of tactical moves, so after Li Xi trained them, he also educated Lao Jin and asked him to continue to explore and practice with Hu Hanshan.

Seeing the things at sea, Li Shi's attention turned to the shore.

"Train Shui Yong? Don't! Kill me! Grandpa, I will never frown! ”

After listening to Liu Xingchun's request, Zheng Yong, who was injured and bedridden, did not give a good face.

"Hate ...... That's a problem, but hatred is not power, fear is, don't worry. ”

Li Shi said this to Liu Xingchun.

Taking into account the pirate forces led by Hong Kong's Ba Zheng for his own use was Li Shi's first move in Hong Kong, and the specific method was to play a two-pronged approach.

In February of the 53rd year of Kangxi's reign, the Qingtian Company opened the Guanxiang Association on Hong Kong Island, and organized hundreds of Shannons who planted Guanxiang trees in the form of pre-purchase. The relevance of the two things lies in the fact that one of the first ten households can go out of three to Shui Yong, and this one can enter the incense meeting.

Jin Qizhen of Xin'an Zhi County applauded these two things, vigorously supported them, and reported to Guangzhou Prefecture, where Li Zhushou of the prefect waved his pen and wrote down two words: "good governance", and submitted the document to the governor Manpina, with two more words: "virtue".

Knowing that those places are people who are also thieves and people, now there are people who are willing to help guide them to goodness, although they are looking at Guan Xiang, but it is always a good thing, and the government is naturally happy to see it. Of course, there are a lot of procedures that should be followed, and there are many sets that should be put on them. The roster is complete, mutual insurance is implemented, the ships and weapons are recorded, and the Kowloon Inspector is also designated as the Commander of Shui Yong.

Behind these two incidents, there is a guard camp that Li Xi has set up again, just outside the stalagmite village under Lantau Island, which is externally known as Shui Yong Village, which is actually a training camp.

A month later, at the foot of Lantau Island, on the shore of Diversion Bay, a camp rose from the ground, and hundreds of sturdy men in ragged clothes were gathering in the open space in the stockade, all with sloppy expressions and listlessness, and under the supervision of the officers and men, they lined up in a long line, one by one, to register.

"Name, age, who's in the family!?"

Wang Tanghe, who was dressed in an officer's uniform, shouted at the young man at the table, the reason why he came to be this secretary was to pick some gunners. Siwei's two major gunners entered the navy with most of the gunners, and he, a twice-wounded infantryman, was promoted to the post commander and was responsible for rebuilding the gun.

Although the reported policy was to produce three out of one class, the actual practice was different, Liu Xingchun and Zhang Ying led officers and soldiers to patrol the Ding, plus the guards led by Fang Tangheng, and looted almost all the strong men on Lantau Island and Hong Kong Island. The "government" has an unprecedented "Qingxiang", plus the legend that Shui Yong also has a salary, and when he becomes a Shui Yong, his family can also earn a stable livelihood by relying on Guan Xiang, and the locals also have expectations, so the whole process is quite smooth, and there are no conflicts, except for the east of the New Territories. The fishermen there seemed to be a different routine, Liu Xingchun and others did not go to cook for the time being, and only sent the tooth people of the company's firm to do the persuasion work.

"Zheng Wei, nineteen years old......"

The young man's reply seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, Wang Tanghe didn't care much, just thought boredly, another surname Zheng, eight out of ten people in this area are surnamed this ...... "My father's name is Zheng Yun, and he died at sea a month ago." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Tanghe understood where the young man's unkind tone came from, it turned out to be the son of a pirate leader who was killed by Hu Hanshan and them.

"What's the matter? Are you here for revenge, or are you here to make a living? ”

Wang Tanghe frowned and stared at him, he was taken out of the poor child by Li Xian, and was instilled with the concept of "you are different from others" all the time.

"Isn't it all the boss's decision?"

Zheng Wei seemed to be submissive, but in fact he replied unruly, thinking to himself as he spoke, this master is inevitably too young.

"Hey ......"

Wang Tanghe almost laughed angrily, okay, very good...... With a snap, he stamped the seal and gave the photo to Zheng Wei, and Wang Tang said leisurely: "I remember you." ”

It sounded like a threat, but Zheng Wei, who was sandwiched between his father's enmity and his family's livelihood, was already numb, and snorted indifferently.

In a separate room in the camp, Zheng Yongzheng, with a bandage on his chest, roared at several young people kneeling on the ground.

"Think about the origin of our surname! An eagle dog who will never be a dog in this life! Kill and kill, why are the bones so soft!? ”

A young man kneeling in front of him burst into tears.

"Uncle, if it's just us, it's just us, but our Bazheng family, thousands of old and weak women and children, how can we not be affected."

The other young man simply kowtowed.

"Shui Yong is only protecting the territory and the people, not officers and soldiers, we are not really voting for Qinggou. Uncle, just say it! If you don't keep quiet, there will always be some hairy boys who can't hold it back, and it will hurt everyone when the time comes! ”

Zheng Yong gritted his teeth, his eyes flickered for a while, but he still shook his head: "I, Zheng Yong, have been taught by my father since I was the governor, and we can't get this country back, so bury your head in your own words, how can you not help Qinggou do things!" What do you want, I can't control it, I want me to bow my head, no way! These clear dogs have seventy or eighty of our lives in their hands! I can't forget this revenge! ”

The crowd sighed and said nothing more.

Zheng Wei can't forget his father's hatred, just so that the family can have the capital to take care of Guan Xiangshu, and at the same time he can get two taels of silver per month for food, in the name of subsidizing the loss of the strong man in the family who can't go to sea to fish, and calculate that his salary is higher than that of the green battalion, so he has to grit his teeth and recognize his identity.

The first three days were very hard, and the soldiers dressed in short gray and blue clothes, short-brimmed round hats, and wide belts were hurried to the bath and rubbed their backs with whips and sticks, and they wrote down a lot of "sanitary regulations" alive. After that, he was assigned to a chase shop for twenty people, and continued to memorize the "Work and Rest Regulations", when to sleep, when to get up and freshen up, and how to go out, all of which were restricted to death.

If it weren't for the fact that a lot of new gadgets were sent down, Zheng Wei dared to guarantee that with a shout, the entire camp would be reversed, and even the prisoners had not been subjected to so many rules. But when they received those new things, they realized that they were not being treated like prisoners.

Not to mention the soft cotton towels, as well as the "toothbrush" made of willow wood with mane tied, and what kind of paste is added to brush his teeth with good green salt, Zheng Wei feels that it is simply a tyrannical thing. Everyone received a new cotton underwear, a short suit of gray and black cotton, leather boots that the wealthy could afford, and leggings and cotton socks. What's even more exciting is the wide belt around the waist, and then wearing a short-brimmed yar-capped cloth hat similar to those soldiers.

Then the three meals a day faintly clouded the hatred in Zheng Wei's heart with a layer of mist, and he also felt that things were getting more and more wrong. Every morning, there is a meal, soybean milk and corn or rice cakes, and at noon and evening, there are vegetables and meat, and the rice is all-you-can-eat. After a few days of eating, the faces of the men on these islands showed a trace of blood.

Zheng Wei and the others began to mumble, and some people even directly said that this was a pig-killing meal, and they were going to be sent to death.

This statement spread quickly among the more than 300 Shui Yong, and Zheng Wei's mind began to be active again, gritting his teeth and thinking, revenge and life-saving, did he do the two things together.

His plan was shattered the next day, and in the open space of the camp, more than 300 people watched as the men who wanted to instigate everyone to make trouble were each given forty lashes, covered in blood, and they were all silent.

After disposing of these people, another group of "officers and soldiers" entered the camp, and the figure of the leading person was like a blade, pressing in front of everyone's eyes. This twenty-four-five-year-old young man still looks a little bookish at first glance, but his left eye is covered by an eye patch, which makes his one eye particularly impressive.

The one-eyed young man walked all the way, and everyone else saluted him respectfully, Zheng Wei and the others were thinking, this is probably an official who is bigger than Inspector Liu.

"The ancients repaid virtue with virtue, repaid grievances with straightforwardness, gave you good food and clothing, and gave you silver to help your family, why don't you want to repay your kindness, but you want to make trouble?"

Stepping on the wooden platform in the clearing, Fan Jin's high leather boots kicked on the wooden board, stepping this sentence into the hearts of Zheng Wei and the others word by word.

"Official, we're just afraid."

was silent for a long time, and seeing that no one responded, Zheng Wei had the courage to reply.

"Afraid? Afraid of what!? ”

Fan Jin's questioning was full of anger, and the momentum overwhelmed the churning strange thoughts in Zheng Wei's heart quickly sank to the bottom of his heart, and his mouth was even more speechless.

"Be ungrateful, repay virtue with resentment, you are not even afraid of God, what are you afraid of!?"

Fan Jin said coldly.

"If I'm not mistaken, many of you have lived at sea, and you owe a lot of lives. You robbed and killed people, and Wang Fa didn't pay attention to it, what are you afraid of? ”

Fan Jin asked rhetorically in a loud voice, while thinking back to the conversation with Li Shi before he came.

"They are afraid of fists and knives, they are afraid of violence. For thousands of years, they have feared the violence of the government, the violence of the powerful, and the violence of thieves, and they are only familiar with such power, and when they become strong, they will only speak with violence. ”

Li Shi said to Fan Jin.

"That's right, they are indeed anti-thieves in their bones, and the general direction is the same as ours. But their strength only comes from hatred, and the hatred of losing their homeland and old dynasty can only make them survive, and they can't do more. What you are going to bring to them is the fear of God. ”

These words flowed through Fan Jin's heart, and his one-eyed eyes looked around everyone, and his words were as powerful as a knife cutting stone.

"God always keeps his eyes open, and if you have something, you have to pay, this is God's iron law!"

Fan Jin asked in a deep voice.

"If you want to eat, do it! If you want to be rich, you have to bet on your surname! Didn't you do that before? Now that you are allowed to do this job, you can earn a decent future, why are you still afraid? ”

Everyone looked at each other, what they were afraid of was actually the intentions of these "officials".

"God is God, and the official is the official."

Zheng Wei couldn't hold back any longer and muttered something like this.

"We ...... It's for God's sake. ”

Fan Jin smiled slightly, laughing so much that Zheng Wei only felt that his heart was hairy, and his brain was even more confused.
