On the second day of the fleet's departure, Zhao Lie and Mr. Li took a sea lion to Shidao. Dashanzi Island is only dozens of miles away from Shidao, after arriving in the afternoon, Zhao Lie let the boat go around the bay, let Mr. Li take a good look at the topography of Shidao, the northern part of Shidao Bay is relatively flat, and it continues to the southeast is flat, suitable for the establishment of military camps and houses, and the western coastal flat is faintly a mountain behind the flat land, the southwest is the bay corner, and the southeast bay corner is opposite, it is suitable to build a fort and block the waterway into Shidao Bay. There is a small fishing village in Shidao Bay only on the western side of the sea. Out in the boondocks.

Zhang Huan sat on the shore at the entrance of the village and watched this big sea boat go around in the bay, several small boats probed around with a penny near the village, this bay is where the birds don't, and the fish they hit are not valuable, so it is sparsely populated, seventeen-year-old Zhang Huan is the first time to see such a big sea ship coming here, Zhang Huan tightened his shabby clothes, stood up and watched a large and two small boats busy,

"Zhang Huan, who is here?"

Zhang Huan looked back and saw Lan San and Yu Qiang trotting to his side, both of them were the same age as himself, and they were both playmates since childhood.

"I don't know, I've been here for a while, and I don't know what I'm busy with."

So, the three lean boys watched with taste, in the increasingly bleak late autumn, this is also a joy, the men, women and children in the village came out to see the excitement.

Jiang Liang is the general banner of Shidao Dun, there are four soldiers in the pier, according to the post is ten soldiers, now only four middle-aged uncles are left behind, Jiang Liang is nearly thirty years old, is already the youngest. When the Japanese slaves are not seen for a long time, Denglai fully supports Liaodong, there is really no spare power to operate other boundaries, the beginning of the apocalypse even abolished Jinghaiwei for a time, however, after Liaoshen rebuilt Jinghaiwei, the seaside land here is poor, the output is not much, the military households fled seriously, there are 5,000 to 6,000 military households in the general Ming Acropolis, and now Jinghaiwei is more than 2,000, and there are 5,000 households, it is really a small number of people, and there are many lands.

Today, a big boat came in the bay, and after working for a long time, Jiang Liang brought a soldier to the beach, although it was not the era when the Japanese were rampant, but it was related to his own life, or be careful, Jiang Liang decided to find out.

The first boat carried more than a dozen guards ashore, and the second boat Zhao Lie, Mr. Li and others went ashore, Jiang Liang saw that it was the Ming officers and soldiers who went ashore, he breathed a sigh of relief, and stepped forward to ask, only to know that the new Qianhu had arrived.

Zhao Lie, Mr. Li, Yu Dabao and others left the ship and landed, and as soon as they landed, they saw two soldiers wearing tattered mandarin duck robes kneeling to salute.

"Lord Qianhu, Xiaoqi Jiang Liang will meet you."

Zhao Lie grinned, tsk, it's really a Ming beggar soldier, or my subordinate, it's really embarrassing.

"Get up, where are you on duty?"

"My lord, the villain is on the pier not far behind." Jiang Liang pointed to Shidao Pier not far behind him.

Zhao Lie took a look, and saw a four-zhang high pier standing on a high post in the corner of the bay in the distance, without bricks, and dilapidated.

"Jiang Liang, let me ask you, where is the location of Qianhu."

Listening to the voice, Jiang Liang raised his head and peeked at the Lord Qianhu, although he was dark and tall, but he was really young, he was too young, Jiang Liang muttered in his heart. But he hurriedly replied: "My lord, the Red Mountain more than ten miles north of the thousand households is located. ”

"Well, Jiang Liang, you are still loyal, okay, go back to duty."

"Yes, my lord." Jiang Liang led the veteran to turn around the pier.

Zhao Lie led everyone around the coast, only to see that there were rocks on the shore of Shidao, which really did not deserve the name of Shidao. The old and young of the fishing village also watched from a distance for a long time and watched the scenery for a long time.

An hour later, everyone returned to the Sea Lion, stayed on the ship for the night, and left by boat early the next morning, and the Sea Lion went west to the Jinghai Acropolis.

In the Jinghaiwei Acropolis, the city is two feet and five feet high and one foot and five feet wide. There are four gates in the acropolis, but the west gate was completely destroyed during the early years of the anti-Japanese war, and there was no money and food to renovate it, so it was blocked. The city is a cross street, divided into four gates, and the guard commander makes the yamen located on the north street in the north gate.

At the beginning of the afternoon, Zhao Lie, Mr. Li and his guards landed from the wharf outside the south city, and the soldiers at the south gate saw that the military attaché and the guards did not dare to stay in difficulty, and the group entered the acropolis smoothly, and the deepest impression left by several soldiers at the south gate to Zhao Lie was the tattered mandarin duck robe, as well as the thin figure in the autumn wind.

There are not many shops in the Acropolis, it is relatively deserted, after inquiry, everyone came to the outside of the guard commander's yamen, only to see that the scale of the official office is not small, but it is described as dilapidated, and the red paint surface of the gate falls off in many places, but the four families guarding the door are still quite strong, and they are neatly draped. A personal guard stepped forward to hand over the prayer post, and the leading family member looked at the worship post, inspected the crowd, and then entered the official office Tongbing.

After a while, the family returned, saying that the adults were invited.

Zhao Lie and Mr. Li came to the official hall and entered the hall, only to see two military generals in their fifties sitting behind the desk, one of them was wearing the leopard uniform of a third-grade military attaché, relatively thin, and was looking at Zhao Lie and the two with a sparse beard, and the other was wearing a fourth-grade military attache tiger suit, with fat and mountains on his neck.

Zhao Lie knelt down and bowed to the ground according to the rules, "The new Jinghaiwei Qianhu Zhao Lie visited Lord Liao." ”

Zhengyin commanded Liao Cheng to help with his hand, "Zhao Qianhu, please get up," and pointed at the fat Buddha with his hand, "This is the commander of the same knowledge Wu Haiwu." ”

Zhao Lie knelt down again to salute, and Wu Hai returned the salute with a smile.

Zhao Lie stepped forward and handed the documents of Shandong Dusi and Weihai Sea Master to Liao Cheng, Liao Cheng looked at it and put it aside, took out a document of appointment that had been prepared a long time ago, and Zhao Lie took it forward.

Liao Cheng smiled and asked Zhao Lie and Mr. Li to sit down, and greetings were essential. Liao Cheng is also muttering to this crime, it is not appropriate in the good Weihai Daya, and he has to change the way with water, which is surprising. Liao Cheng was able to become the Zhengyin commander of Jinghaiwei two years ago, which shows that the upper echelons have connections, although Jinghaiwei is almost the most decaying position among the nine guards in Shandong, and it is even inferior to the thousands of households in some guards, many of the generals who were transferred to Jinghaiwei to serve as the same and the generals who were in charge of affairs did not come to take office with all kinds of strange excuses, but after all, the commanders of the three products of Zhengyin are different, and the oil and water are not enough. A few days ago, Denglai Dusi Xingwen arrived, and the friend also brought information, this person is the second son of Zhao Haiming, the commander of the Weihai Division, the battle of Lushun killed more than a dozen Jiannu, made great contributions, was promoted to a thousand households, and the family operated in the capital division to Jinghaiwei.

After getting this information, Liao Cheng couldn't figure it out, the sailor changed the guard, or such a dilapidated guard, who was plotting, if someone said that this person had nothing to ask for, Liao Cheng had to take a sip of him, a sailor commander made this decision and asked for nothing, don't think about other people's heads as stupid as you, in Liao Cheng's opinion, it is Zhao Haiming's decision, as for Zhao Lie, his military exploits may be Zhao Haiming's hands and feet, and he also killed and injured more than a dozen Jiannu, really Jiannu is a target who does not move, I am the commander of the guard, not a pariah who listens to fun. If you don't understand, Liao Cheng doesn't want to think about it, as long as there is no conflict.

After a nourishic greeting, Mr. Li offered Chengyi two copies, one hundred taels and one fifty taels, a lot, than Dengzhou, Weihai's Chengyi had to turn over, the two Shangguan were very satisfied, thinking that there would be a Yanei who didn't know anything, this look, Zhao Lie is also very good.

Zhao Lie wanted to invite the two Shangguan, but Liao Cheng refused, saying that there would be important things for a while, and he would talk about it later, Wu Hai was stunned when he heard it, he didn't hear that there would be something for a while. Just now, you said that I should be on duty, and you should go back and take a rest. However, Wu Hai will never speak out, and silence in officialdom is golden. Liao Cheng is a little awkward, if it is an ordinary thousand households, I'm sorry, you have to invite this banquet today, and you should also invite all the leaders of the command yamen, this is to worship the dock, so that you can be familiar with each other, and it will be easier to do things in the future. Otherwise, do you have no superiors and no colleagues in your heart? However, Liao Cheng is unpredictable about this Yanei, so he respects and stays away, and will talk about it later.

Zhao Lie invited several times, but Liao Cheng insisted on resigning, but Zhao Lie did not force it and left. Liao Cheng sent a commander named Huo Gushan to accompany Zhao Lie to his post.

Because Zhao Lie didn't bring horses and carriages, he decided to go by sea and land, and then to Chishan Town after arriving at Shidao.

A day later, Zhao Lie returned to Shidao, and after going ashore, he found the only ox cart in the small fishing village, but there was still no carriage, but fortunately, the road was not long, Mr. Li didn't care, only suffered Miss Li and a few maids. Zhao Lie can also send someone to the Qianhu Institute to report the news and ask the Qianhu Institute to send someone to pick it up, but when he thinks about the time to go back and forth, it is better to go directly.

The road to Qianhusuo is still quite wide, it must have been widened when it was built and guarded, but it was in disrepair and potholes everywhere, it was too bad, and in the end, Mr. Li and others said that they would not do ox carts anymore, and would rather walk. In this way, when everyone arrived at Chishan Town, it was already more than an hour later.

The castle where the thousand households are located, the circumference is only more than two miles, two zhang high, one zhang wide, there is a moat surrounding, the city has two gates in the east and west, however, the city is dilapidated, the only brick-covered west city gate tower brick falls off, and it is broken.

Entering the city, Chishan Town is not big, the houses are old, and the people who come and go know that most of them are military households, and ragged clothes are necessary, and some even do not wear shoes and socks, and only wrap their feet in rags. There is a lot of garbage in the town, dirty water everywhere, and the smell is smoky.

There were four soldiers listlessly poked outside the door of the official office in the north, and the battle jackets were quite neat, looking at Zhao Lie and the others stopping in front of the door, Yu Dabao shouted: "The new Lord Zhao of Qianhu is here, come and greet him." ”

The leader of the general flag is still aware of things, and bows to the ground. On the other hand, he sent someone in to report it.

Suddenly, two middle-aged generals rushed out of it, and they gave a salute with a national face: "Xiaguan Zhuying pays a visit to Lord Huo and Lord Qianhu." Another long-faced sallow Shi Li: "Xiaguan Zheng Yimin meets the two adults." ”

"I wish my lord Zheng is a deputy thousand households, and I wish my lord is a thousand households." Huo Gushan, who came with him, introduced them one by one.

Zhao Lie smiled and returned the salute, "This official is the new Qianhu Zhao Lie, I hope the two adults will help more." "Well, this Zhu Ying is also an unlucky child, and the agent didn't correct it.

Zhu Ying, Zheng Yimin hurriedly returned the salute: "Your Excellency is polite, the lower officials dare not do their best." After the greetings, everyone entered the official office one after another, and the official office was quite clean.

Everyone sat down one after another, and after greetings, Mr. Li met the two again, and the two also understood that Mr. Li was Zhao Lie's confidant, and he was also interested in stammering, Mr. Li had been in the officialdom for a long time, and he was familiar with it, and the atmosphere between the two sides was harmonious and they talked happily.
