Xu Dong looked at Xiao Man and felt very funny, hugged Xiao Man and said, "Okay, I haven't played games for a few days, and I don't know how the recruitment of the water army is." Let's get into the game. ”

Xiao Mancai suddenly said: "Ah! The game has been updated in the past few days, and Chivalry has entered the second phase! The four major simultaneous games were merged, in addition to "Chivalry" in the Eastern world, there are also "Age of Sail" in the European world, "Golden Country" in the Southeast Asian world, and "Knights and Magic" in the New World world, which are merged into a complete world. Although teleportation is not available in the worlds, the player can travel to other countries by sea. ”

Xu Dong smiled: "Okay! It's finally here! When I've arranged the affairs of the sailor, let's go to sea and have fun together! ”

Xiao Man said happily: "Really? Okay, good! Let's go to sea! ”

Xu Dong lay down in the game warehouse and logged in to the world of "Chivalry". The familiar gentle female voice sounded: "Welcome back, player Xu Dong." The world of chivalry has been upgraded and updated, the four major game worlds have been docked and merged, and the game has officially been renamed "Prosperous Century"! For more game content, please experience and discover it by yourself, and I wish you a happy game! ”

As soon as his eyes lit up, Xu Dong returned to the streets of Daming Beijing, because Xu Dong's outfit was too stylish, and he was noticed by many players as soon as he went online.

"Huh! Isn't that winning Xu Shaozhu Xu Dong? One player exclaimed.

"Wow! I've seen an idol! ”

"Win Young Master Xu! Ask for support! "Many players flocked to Xudong.

Xu Dong was startled, turned around and ran away, and countless players chased after him. In the end, Xu Dong really had no choice but to hide in the Jinyi Guard Yamen of the Governor's Mansion.

Lu Bingzheng was drinking tea inside, and when he saw Xu Dong running in in embarrassment, he immediately complained: "Hey, I said brother! Where have you been these days? I can't find you everywhere, the Holy God ordered you to establish a Swinging Water Master as soon as possible, and Huang Jin and I gathered all the children who know how to water, a total of 1,700 people. I'm just waiting for you to get some of it. ”

Xu Dong said nonsense: "I went to the coast to investigate, and I am going to establish a sailor battalion in Zhoushan. How's the silver two of the household ready? ”

Lu Bing sighed: "Brother! It's not that my brothers don't do their best, Lao Tzu and Huang Jin run twice a day, smash the table and break the porcelain, and they have used all the means, and they will reach 200,000 taels one after another. The household department really can't come up with the money, and it's useless to sell the beam cut meat. Just 250,000 taels. ”

Xu Dong said with a smile: "It's good to get 250,000 taels, the two brothers have worked hard." I had to get into a change of clothes, and I was so embarrassed to be chased! ”

Lu Bing said angrily: "Who is so bold! Dare to hunt down and kill the court officials! ”

Xu Dong shook his hand and said: "It's not a chase, it's just a fan."

Lu Bing was puzzled: "What do fans understand?" Why are you chasing? ”

Xu Dong didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say nonsense: "Oh, didn't the Holy Lord order me to prepare for the establishment of the Dangkou Water Master, those people chased me and had to join the Water Master, which is really annoying."

Lu Bing said suddenly: "I see, those guys also have vision." In my opinion, as long as the sailor is established, the future is really immeasurable! But you have to be careful of the civil servants getting in the way! ”

Xu Dong asked again: "Brother Lu, do we have any martial arts that we can learn?"

Lu Bing said: "Yes, it's in the transmission room inside." You can learn the corresponding martial arts according to your official position. You are the deputy conductor, you can study as much as you want, you can go and see. ”

Xu Dong nodded and agreed, and entered the transmission room of the inner government of the Governor's Mansion, where the stone walls of each room were carved with different levels of martial arts and internal strength, but most of them were of little use to Xu Dong, and the highest level of internal strength was just a set of high-level mental methods "Tiangang Jin", which could only be learned if the official position reached the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households. Xu Dong has superior internal strength "Five Poisons Heart Sutra", so there is no need to learn it.

In the innermost room, there is a set of superior martial arts "Angry Dragon Crazy Knife" engraved, only the two commanders and deputy commanders of Jinyi Wei can learn, Xu Dong did not hesitate to learn, and used the remaining martial arts experience points on his body to rise to the 4th floor.

Xu Dong took off his unicorn suit, only wore a set of three-grade military attache robes, and went to the palace to see Jiajing to report on his work. Emperor Jiajing was a little anxious about preparing for the establishment of a water division, after all, this was a big way to make money. So when Xu Dong said that he couldn't come up with the money before the autumn harvest, Jiajing was rare and generous, and lent 200,000 taels to Xu Dong from his private treasury, yes, it was borrowed......

However, with these 450,000 taels, plus the gift received last time, Xu Dong's cash silver is about 670,000 taels of silver, which is barely enough to start establishing a water division.

Next, Xu Dong ordered the more than 1,700 Jinyi Wei and Dongchang's water war masters who had been assembled to go to Wuxi, south of the Yangtze River, under the command of two thousand households.

He teleported the gold, silver, bronze and iron four people to the capital through the coachman's function, and used the power in his hands to appoint the four of them as Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and let them go to the Gong Fang to learn internal strength and martial arts.

Then he rushed to Wuxi, Jiangnan with Xiaoman and gold, silver, copper and iron. Today, the Shiwei Gang has relocated the helm from Yangzhou to Wuxi, and the gang has grown to 60,000 people. is teaming up with the Cao Gang to suppress and encroach on the Canal Gang everywhere.

With the help of the Shiwei Gang, a large-scale naval barracks had already been built on the shore of Taihu Lake in Wuxi, in which more than 4,400 young and strong recruits recruited by Xu Dong and the Shiwei Gang were training. So the four of gold, silver, bronze and iron naturally became the leaders of the recruits and led them to practice.

Xu Dong also rented 20 sand boats from the Shiwei Gang to teach the recruits how to operate boats and water warfare. The entire Taihu Lake Water Village is very lively, just waiting for the 1,700 Jinyi Wei and Dongchang masters to join, and the Dangkou Water Division will become an establishment.

Of course, the Taihu Lake Village is a temporary training ground for sailors. After the training is completed, the navy will go to Zhoushan County, the official station chosen by Xu Dong for the Dangkou Sailor.

Zhoushan Islands, Zhoushan County. Since ancient times, it has been a key place for the Celestial Empire to control the southeast sea. Looking at the East China Sea and the South China Sea, the terrain is very convenient. It is not far from the island of Taiwan, Japan, Korea and the Ryukyu Islands. Maritime trade or coastal defense are very advantageous.

In Zhoushan Port in July, the sea breeze dawns and the warm breeze blows. Xu Dong and Xiaoman walked into the shipyard of Zhoushan Port, and the boats made in Zhoushan could be regarded as the mainstream at that time, and the most famous was the Zhoushan Wugong ship, that is, the Zhoushan Hengjiang ship.

Ships are needed to build a naval division, and Xu Dong thought of this very powerful warship. The large ship is 30 meters long and 9 meters wide, carries a weight of about 700 tons, and can carry 80 sailors. It is made entirely of ironwood, and it is extremely strong. It is said that even the Franc cannon of the Portuguese could not penetrate it. The only problem is that it is expensive, the cost of each ship is nearly 1,000 taels of silver, you must know that a large lucky ship in the Ming Dynasty is only 230 taels of silver.

Xu Dong ordered 200 large black ships in one breath at the shipyard and spent 180,000 taels of silver. Don't look at Xu Dong's 670,000 taels of silver, but now more than 6,000 people in the Dangkou Water Division have to spend money to eat, drink, and Lazar, and Xu Dong has to pay 5 taels of silver per person per month. Because to put it bluntly, the establishment of the Dangkou Water Division was not approved by the cabinet, and was established by the emperor privately, so the military department would not pay the army. The household can come up with 250,000 taels of silver, which is already benevolent and righteous.

"Money, money, we have to find a way to make money as soon as possible!" Xu Dong was very upset.

Xiao Man said: "Anyway, building a ship is not a matter of one or two days, why don't we buy a ship and go to sea first!" You can also make a lot of money. ”

Xu Dong's eyes lit up, yes! Although the imperial court has banned the sea now, for Xu Dong, the admiral of the Swinging Navy, the ban is a fart! Buy a boat first, go out to sea and see how the market is going. Explore the way for the sea trade of the sailors in the future.

As soon as he said it, Xu Dong began to select a suitable ship for long-distance voyages in the shipyard, and finally took a fancy to a medium-sized Fu ship, which was a 23-meter-long, 7-meter-wide, maximum capacity of 52 people, and a load of about 520 tons. It is also called a sea canopy boat.

Xu Dong bought the sea cangship, turned back to Xiao Man and said, "Let's go, go to Zhoushan County to see if we can recruit some sailors."

The two ran into the county seat of Zhoushan and were about to recruit sailors, when they suddenly saw a group of soldiers in front of the yamen of Zhoushan County blocking the gate of the county yamen and shouting, as if they were making trouble. As a general of the imperial court, Xu Dong naturally couldn't turn a blind eye, so he walked over with Xiaoman.

I saw a very burly officer, leading 36 soldiers to stand in front of the yamen of Zhoushan County, with a very angry expression. The surrounding people pointed and watched the excitement.

The officer was at least 1.9 meters tall, about 30 years old, muscular, with a Chinese face, a beard, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a resolute face. He wears a pair of light cotton armor and a goose feather knife at his waist. At this time, the officer was shouting at the county office: "Let the county lord come out!" You've got to give an explanation! Otherwise, how can the brothers live? The gate of the county government was closed, and no one answered.

Xu Dong stepped forward and asked, "If you don't stay in the barracks, why are you besieging the county government here?" Don't you know that military law is ruthless? ”

The officer looked back and saw that Xu Dong was wearing a third-grade military attache uniform, and he was shocked, and he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, forgive me!" Xiaguan Yu Dayou, originally guarded thousands of households in Kinmen. Because of the repeated violations of the Japanese invaders, at the beginning of the year, the lower officials wrote to the procuratorate to punish the envoys, asking to clean up the criminals, but unexpectedly, according to the inspectors, my official was soft-spoken, and took away my position as a thousand households, and was sentenced to 40 rods, and was demoted to this Zhoushan to guard the outpost of Daishan Island. There were 41 people in this Daishan Island outpost, including me, and all the military salaries should have been supplied by the Zhoushan County Ya. But I haven't received a penny for months."

The sergeants next to him also knelt down and said fiercely: "It's not just that there has been no salary for months!" Usually the grain, oil, firewood, etc. we are waiting for are not short of catties or two in a month! The food distributed to us is not only not enough to eat, but also old moldy food! Please make your decisions for us! ”

Xu Dong was shocked in his heart, it turned out to be the famous general Yu Dayou! Although he was still young at this time and was not famous, he was a generation of famous anti-Japanese generals after all.

Xu Dong's face was impassive, and he shouted to the county office: "Please come out and speak to the magistrate of Zhoushan!"

The gate of the county government opened with a "squeak", and two civil officials walked out, one wearing a seventh-grade official uniform and the other wearing an eight-grade official uniform.

"This official Zhoushan magistrate Cao Ben has seen the general." The seven-rank civil official, who was about forty years old and had two mustaches, arched his hand at Xu Dong.

"Xiaguan Zhoushan County Cheng Hu Yu, meet your lord!" The eight-rank official, who was about fifty years old and looked like a good old man, also hugged his fists.

Xu Dong asked lightly: "Cao Zhixian, what Yu Dayou said just now, is it true?"

Cao Zhixian's face turned red, and he was a little annoyed. Although Xu Dong is a third-grade military attaché, Cao Ben is not afraid of him at all. The reason is because Xu Dong is a military attaché, while Cao Ben is a civilian official. In the Ming Dynasty, the status of civil officials was much higher than that of military attachés, and it was very normal for the five-rank military attaché to dismount and salute the seven-rank civil officials in the Ming Dynasty.
