Hailing County, after many days of panic and anxiety, finally regained its calm with the arrival of 5,000 officers and soldiers of the Dingzhou Jianrui Battalion.

Most of the Jianrui battalion did not enter the city, but set up camp outside the city, although it was a new pawn, but the captains who led the team were the backbone drawn from the old battalions, and the well-trained soldiers soon set up barracks outside the city, erected fences, rejected horses, antlers, dug trenches, erected sentry towers, and in less than two hours, a military camp with a strong weather was already standing outside Hailing County, and its speed made Hailing those idlers who came to see the Dingzhou army stunned, they were used to seeing the laziness of the Fuzhou army, where they had seen such a disciplined team, The soldiers who had dug the ditch were covered in mud, and they were still in a neat queue at the command of the leading officer, shouting songs all the way into the barracks.

"It's an army that can confront the barbarians! This time, the rebels are going to suffer! After watching the idlers of the Jianrui camp enter the city, he said.

And in Jiang Heiniu's big tent, he was pointing at a map with a group of officers.

"The places marked on this are all marked by the Statistical Survey Department that must be controlled, and after you lead the people of your headquarters into the city, you must take these places into your own hands, especially Hailing Wharf, and you must give me a high guard." The ginger black bull pointed at these places with a saber.

"General, what should we do if these places are still guarded by Fuzhou troops or officials?" A lieutenant asked.

"What to do? And I want to teach you, dispel! If you are not convinced, you will beat them, and they will leave automatically! Jiang Heiniu said angrily. I will only assign you tasks, how to complete it is your business, remember, today is the first time, and there will be a second time, be careful of the stick! ”

"General Obey!" The lieutenants in the tent immediately straightened up, although they had not had much contact with this general, they all basically figured out Jiang Heiniu's surname.

"Action!"

The lieutenants agreed and rushed out. Soon, a column of soldiers with armor and armor trotted out of the barracks and ran straight towards Hailing County. At the time of the palm, Hailing County completely fell into the hands of the Jianrui Battalion.

Yu Pei, the new magistrate of Hailing, spent this night in anxiety and anxiety, the former magistrate of the county embezzled relief grain funds, which led to a riot of salt workers in Wankou, but concealed it and did not report it, and after the Hailing garrison was wiped out, he absconded with the money, and after being arrested, he was so angry that he personally took the knife to the marshal, and cut the unlucky guy dozens of knives to solve the hatred. Yu Pei came to take office with trepidation, fortunately, since he came, that Bantianyun has not patronized Hailing once, but several neighboring counties have been beaten by him, and it seems that his character is not ordinarily good. Yu Pei was relieved, but also scared, Hailing is the hometown of this group of rioters, they have not come to fight Hailing, is there any big conspiracy, is it not enough, a sound will inevitably be amazing? In this kind of fear, he looked forward to the arrival of the Jianrui battalion, and after seeing the Fuzhou army stationed, his heart was finally relaxed, Amitabha, and his life was finally guaranteed.

But then the action of the Jianrui battalion made him a little puzzled, the Dingzhou soldiers drove into the city in a team, took over the county government, the official treasury, the city defense, the wharf, in short, all the key departments in the county are now in their hands, the old oilman in the political arena keenly captured something, frightened, and hurriedly sent someone out of the city, wanting to send a letter to the marshal, but the henchman who went out for less than half an hour was sent back by the Dingzhou soldiers, and the letter was searched by the other party, seeing the other party's vicious gaze and undisguised murderous aura, Yu Pei's legs were almost weak.

That night, at the dock of the sailor, Deng Peng, the deputy general of the sailor, was meeting with an extremely important person. Deng Peng, who had been notified in advance, had been staying on his flagship, he silently waited for the upcoming big man, he estimated that it would most likely be Shang Haibo, who joined the army in Dingzhou, this person was Li Qing's deputy, and only such people could convince themselves or show their respect for themselves. Seeing that the Dingzhou army took control of Hailing so quickly, Deng Peng knew that Xiang Dashuai was really at the end of the road.

The prophetic Deng Peng ordered the soldiers of his sailor battalion not to step out of the sailor battalion, and no one on the boat was allowed to get off the boat.

But Deng Peng never expected that the person who came was actually Li Qing himself. When he saw Li Qing, the commander of Dingzhou, who was accompanied by Qingfeng, Tang Hu and Jiang Heiniu, the general of the Jianrui battalion, into his ship, Deng Peng almost couldn't believe his eyes, Li Dashuai, he actually came over in person.

Huo Di stood up, first rubbed his eyes, and after confirming that he hadn't seen the flowers, he couldn't help but feel excited, took a step forward, and knelt on the ground on one knee, "The last general, Deng Peng, I've seen the handsome!" He had just fallen halfway to his knees, but he was grabbed by two strong hands, lifted him up, and dragged him up stiffly.

"General Deng, last time I was in a hurry, there were many restrictions, I didn't talk about it in detail, today the two of us are going to have a good talk, hahaha!" Li Qing laughed.

"Handsome and loved, ashamed of the last general!" Deng Peng hugged his fists.

Jiang Heiniu probed out of the cabin, and as soon as he greeted, several soldiers rushed in with food boxes and fish, taking out the same dishes and setting them up.

Li Qing took Deng Peng's hand and said with a smile: "When I was in Dingzhou, I heard the general's name for a long time, but I couldn't see it, the last time I said goodbye in a hurry, but it was so impressive that Qing couldn't sleep on my feet, and I talked all night. Li Qing said teasingly, his happy face revealing his sincerity.

At this moment, Deng Peng only felt that his throat was choked, and his eyes were a little blurry, Li Qing, he just knew something, the descendants of the Li family of the family, the young man was ambitious, and he controlled a state, originally most of them were overly high-eyed and arrogant, but the person in front of him was easy-going, like a friend he hadn't seen for many years. Compared with the grievances he has suffered in the hands of Xiang Shuai over the years, Deng Peng instantly felt that the decision he made was too right.

"The marshal is generous, the sense of humility is inexplicable, and I am willing to serve in front of the general's saddle with what I have learned in my life, and then die!" Deng Peng said slowly word by word.

"Okay, okay, Li has General Deng, you and I are partners, from now on in the vast ocean, who can be our opponent!" Li Qing laughed and pulled Deng Peng, walked to the table where the wine and food were arranged, and said, "Come, General Deng, you and I will drink three cups first, to congratulate you and me on opening up a new era of the Great Chu Ocean!" ”

Six wine glasses were lined up, and the fragrance of the wine overflowing was poured into the glass, and the two picked up a glass, slammed it, drank it dry, and drank three glasses in a row.

"Happy!" Li Qing shouted.

"Sit, General Deng!" Li Qing waved his hand and asked.

"Boss, please!"

Li Qing smiled and stopped refusing, which was also the proper meaning, and sat down first. Deng Peng said to Qingfeng and Jiang Heiniu again: "Two adults, please!" ”

Qingfeng smiled and sat on the side to accompany him, but Jiang Heiniu saluted Li Qing and said, "Marshal, the last general is performing military affairs, he can't drink, and he has to rush back to the camp to arrange tomorrow's related affairs, so he will retire first." ”

Li Qing nodded, "Well, you can go on your own business." ”

Jiang Heiniu saluted Qingfeng and Deng Peng, then pulled Tang Hu aside, muttered a few words in a low voice, to the effect that it was the defense of the marshal, and then withdrew.

Seeing this scene, Deng Peng couldn't help sighing, no wonder the Dingzhou Army is so elite that it is an honor to be able to drink with the marshal, not to mention that the marshal personally invited him, but this young general refused without thinking about it, which shows that Li Qingzhi's army is quite strict.

Qingfeng carried the wine jug, poured it for Li Qing, and when he poured it for Deng Peng, Deng Peng stood up a little panicked, and didn't dare to say anything!

Li Qing said with a smile: "General Deng doesn't have to be formal, today's Qingfeng's task is to pour us wine, if you do this every time, then what's the fun of drinking this wine, how can you and I talk about it to the fullest!" ”

Deng Peng smiled, he knew Qingfeng's status. You can't be rude in the slightest. But since the big marshal has spoken, he can accept it generously later.

"Whoever controls the ocean in the future owns the world!" Li Qing raised his glass to Deng Peng. "I will build a powerful fleet and run rampant across the oceans, and you, General Deng, will be the first supreme commander of this fleet, General Deng, can you help me realize your ideals?"

Deng Peng, as a sailor general, has a powerful fleet across the vast sea, conquering the endless ocean is of course his dream, for Li Qing said who controls the ocean, who owns the world is not very convinced, now, the battle to decide the surname is still on land, and the sailor is only as an auxiliary force, but any sailor general does not want his leader to pay attention to the sailor, which means countless ships, countless soldiers!

"Deng Peng is valued by the handsome, dare not do his best? You must do your best to serve the commander! Deng Peng said.

Li Qing knew that Deng Peng would not believe what he said, and it was also true that people in this era would understand the important surname of the ocean, and only he knew this. A strong sailor will be the most important guarantee for Da Chu to run rampant in this world.

"General Deng knows about Hailing Shipyard, right?"

"The last general knows!"

"We have secretly bought this shipyard in Dingzhou, from now on, this shipyard is yours, Hailing Shipyard is the largest shipyard in Fuzhou, it can build ten ships with 5,000 materials a year, starting tomorrow, I want you to reorganize the sailors at the same time, supervise Hailing Shipyard to build at least ten ships with 5,000 materials within a year."

"In such a hurry?" Deng Peng couldn't help but be surprised. This means that Li Qing will inevitably have a larger movement at sea.

"It's really urgent, so I'll delegate all the power of the sailor to you, let you have complete power, shipbuilding, military training, etc., I want you to complete it within a year, within a year, I will give you money, and I will give money if you want it. Anyway, in a year's time, I'm going to see ten 5,000-millimeter ships launched. Can you do it! ”

Looking at Li Qing's gaze, Deng Peng stood up: "The end will be completed!" It's just that the last general is still nominally under the command of Fuzhou now, how can Xiang Shuai not know such a big move? ”

Li Jing smiled slightly, "You don't have to worry about this, there are still a few months to celebrate the New Year, but Xiang Shuai is thinking about this New Year in Fuzhou!" Let's go ahead and prepare first, with such a large amount of work, the preliminary preparation work is also very huge. ”
