Chapter 45: Ten Thousand Villages

By the time Deng Haonan came out after freshening up, it was already three poles in the sun.

Yan Siyu arranged for the deacons of various departments in the water village on Kinmen Island to meet with Deng Haonan, so that Deng Haonan could familiarize himself with the duties and powers of the four leaders and facilitate his work.

Yan Siqi's family background is not small, there are six four-masted ships, twelve three-masted ships, and hundreds of Guangdong ships, sentinel ships, and various clippers. There are about 6,000 people under his command, of which 3,000 are under the jurisdiction of the second leader Zhang Shicheng, 2,000 are under the jurisdiction of the third leader Ma Cheng, and the remaining 1,000 people are directly under the personal command of Yan Siqi.

It can be seen that Yan Siqi's armed maritime strength is still strong, and in Deng Haonan's eyes, he is naturally much stronger than Li Ping. I just don't know what the strength of Zheng Yiguan, Yang Tiansheng and others is even better? It is expected that it should be much stronger than Yan Siqi! Deng Haonan thought so in his heart.

After turning around, a question mark popped up in Deng Haonan's mind, turned his head and asked Yan Siyu, and said, "I am now the fourth leader, what about my people?" ”

Yan Siyu smiled, pointed to the camp not far ahead, and said, "It's all there!" ”

Deng Haonan looked in the direction pointed by Yan Siyu, but saw a huge camp standing in front of him, no smaller than Zhang Shicheng and Ma Cheng's camp. Deng Haonan was overjoyed, took three steps and made two steps, and hurriedly walked over.

Huzi was standing at the door, and when he saw Deng Haonan from afar, he immediately notified everyone inside to gather. After a while, everyone gathered on the school grounds, waiting for Deng Haonan to review.

From the moment Deng Haonan walked into the camp gate, the expression on his face suddenly froze.

The huge camp school field should have been able to accommodate tens of thousands of people, but now only the one hundred and ten people brought by Deng Haonan are standing there, which looks a little empty.

Why are you so human? Deng Haonan turned his head to look at Yan Siyu beside him.

Yan Siyu saw Deng Haonan's question, and said with some embarrassment: "You also know this Haonan, we are now short of manpower, and the second and third brothers are not enough, so I can't help you!" ”

Deng Haonan nodded, knowing what Yan Siyu meant. Obviously, the arrival of Deng Haonan has divided the rights of Zhang Shicheng and Ma Cheng, and now Deng Haonan is their competitor, it is impossible for them to give Deng Haonan a single soldier, not even make trouble, or secretly make a stumbling block for Deng Haonan, Deng Haonan has burned high incense.

Deng Haonan's mood has experienced a peak period, and now he has fallen to the bottom again, and he has to rely on himself!

calmed down a bit, Deng Haonan pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "How can I say that I am also the fourth leader of your eldest brother, now I am a light pole commander, it is nothing, who let us be a little person!" However, if this spreads, the four leaders of the alliance leader are just a bare-bones commander, and they won't lose the alliance leader's face? ”

Although Yan Siyu didn't know what the commander meant, he understood what the light pole heard, and he thought that Deng Haonan was saying that he was a light pole general, and he was expressing his dissatisfaction to himself!

So he said: "I know that with your talent, I have wronged you now!" My eldest brother and I are also very upset! We are in a difficult situation right now, and I hope you can understand it. ”

It's not okay if you don't understand! Deng Haonan muttered to himself in his heart.

Yan Siyu continued: "When the eldest brother first established the alliance, this big camp was the base camp, and tens of thousands of people used to practice here, how spectacular was that? Now the eldest brother has given you this big camp in order to compensate you, and you are allowed to recruit troops and horses by yourself! ”

Deng Haonan thought to himself, no matter what he gives himself, this is all earned! Although he did not allocate additional manpower to himself, he provided himself with a battalion of 10,000 people, and also allowed himself to recruit troops, isn't this a good thing?

He hesitated at the moment and said, "Thank you Alliance Leader for thinking so highly of me!" It's just that I recruit troops and horses myself, and this military salary and materials ......."

Yan Siyu smiled: "I knew you would have this question!" The eldest brother said, you can recruit as many people as you can! However, we are pirates, and we don't pay our salaries! If you want to pay your men, you can take your men to sell goods by sea, or go out to rob other merchant ships, and deduct what you get to hand over to the Alliance, and you can pay your men the rest! ”

Deng Haonan thought to himself, it was really this pirate mode, no wonder Zheng Yiguan and Yang Tiansheng and others would sit big. In this mode, it is difficult not to stand on your own as a king, and it is only a matter of time before the yellow robe is added!

But it's even better! What Deng Haonan needs right now is an excuse to develop his forces, and now with Yan Siqi's approval, he can form a gang openly!

I only heard Yan Siyu continue: "As for the supplies? You know our situation, and the eldest brother can only provide you with this camp first, as well as the food and clothing of the brothers. Everything else is up to you! ”

Deng Haonan's eyes widened, his mouth widened, and he looked at Yan Siyu in a daze.

Meow a! According to Yan Siyu, Deng Haonan can recruit people at will, and Yan Siqi doesn't care if he recruits 100,000 people. But the problem is that Yan Siqi didn't give Deng Haonan warships and artillery! Without these things, Deng Haonan would not be useful even if he recruited 100,000 people!

Deng Haonan scolded secretly in his heart, sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world, Yan Siqi gave himself power on the surface, but in fact, it was the same as not giving it. And only providing food and clothing is equivalent to indirectly controlling Deng Haonan.

Deng Haonan said with some disappointment: "Then be self-reliant!" ”。 Yan Siyu suddenly smiled: "That's right! You're so capable, I think you'll show us your achievements! ”

Suddenly, Deng Haonan remembered that Yan Siqi had also given him the position of artillery instructor, and asked Yan Siyu at the moment. Yan Siyu smiled: "That's just a name!" The second and third brothers both have their own gunnery lessons, and your job is to check their training regularly every year! ”

Seeing Deng Haonan's disappointment, Yan Siyu comforted him and said, "You don't have to be disappointed!" After you recruit people, you will naturally train them, so that your talents will not be buried! ”

Deng Haonan thought about it, looked at the brothers who were waiting for him in the school field, and thought that he was not a complete commander of the light pole now, so he rekindled his fighting spirit.

At the moment, he said: "Miss Yan, if there is nothing else to explain to me, I want to celebrate with my brothers!" ”

Yan Siyu nodded, turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something and asked, "You are now the fourth leader, that is, the fourth brother of the brothers!" Why do you still call me Miss Yan? ”

Deng Haonan sighed and said, "I'll call you Sister Siyu in the future!" ”

"No way!" Yan Siyu said angrily: "Call sister!" ”

Deng Haonan rolled his eyes and immediately asked, "Then how old are you!" ”

Yan Siyu was stunned for a moment, expecting that Deng Haonan was older than her, so he said, "I'm fifteen years old!" What about you? ”

Deng Haonan asked, "I'm fifteen years old too!" How many months are you? ”

Yan Siyu hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm from Taoyue (March)!" ”

"Such a coincidence? I'm from Momotsuki too! Deng Haonan asked again: "When were you born?" ”

Yan Siyu was a little embarrassed, and only replied after a while: "I was born on the 23rd of the second month!" ”

"What a coincidence! I was also born on the 23rd? Deng Haonan pretended to be surprised and said: "I was born when I was a child, what about you?" ”

Yan Siyu was stunned, Deng Haonan said that he was born when he was a child, that is, no matter when Yan Siyu was born, he was younger than Deng Haonan.

Suddenly, Yan Siyu saw that Deng Haonan couldn't help laughing, and suddenly felt suspicious. Thinking of the conversation just now, Yan Siyu suddenly understood that Deng Haonan deliberately induced her to say her birthday.

In an instant, Yan Siyu's face was flushed, he stomped his feet fiercely, and said coquettishly: "Deng Haonan, you go to die!" ”
