CHAPTER XXI
Yang Xiu stayed in Ningzhen for two more days, and at the same time left Yang Ping in Ningzhen, and he set off to return to Gray Pigeon Harbor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Tanaka Sakura and Yao Wanxin also came back, and it can be seen from the depressed expression on Yao Wanxin's face that there is nothing to be gained from this trip to find relatives.
A carriage with three people was slightly crowded, and Yang Xiu, in the spirit of a gentleman, asked for a horse to play happily by himself, and threw the two girls in the car.
The way back is much easier than the way to come, Yang Ping sent an entourage to escort him, and he doesn't have to worry about what happened last time.
Of course, Yang Xiu is not worried, Tanaka Sakura follows him, and Yang An will not come to his own trouble again.
Yang Xiu is now ******** focused on learning horseback riding kung fu, followed by several followers, and a clever one is pointing out the essentials of horseback riding to Yang Xiu.
Although Yang Xiu was very receptive, he was still a little flustered as soon as he sat on the back of the horse.
"It's majestic." After being familiar with it for a while, Yang Xiu was finally able to let the horse walk forward steadily.
The two women in the carriage both stuck out their heads and looked at Yang Xiu with great interest.
"Would you two like to try it?" Yang Xiu quipped.
Hearing this, the two girls snorted rudely, and then obediently sat back in the car, ignoring Yang Xiu.
Yang Xiu touched his nose, smiled, and then began to toss the horse under his crotch again.
......
Lu Changfeng was working with Chengzong at this time, busy training the recruits recruited in the Gray Pigeon Harbor.
It still uses the set that Yang Xiu handed down not long ago, and the effect is still very good, this batch of recruits only took a few days, and they can basically master the essentials.
"President Cheng, have the iron shields arrived?" Lu Changfeng turned his head and asked.
"It's all here, and it's in the warehouse of the garrison." Chengzong replied honestly.
"Take them all out and divide them below."
"Yes."
Although Lu Changfeng is not as resourceful as Yang Xiu, he is also the commander of a thousand-person cavalry regiment, so he naturally has his own set of means for daily training.
The four hundred three-layer iron shields and the six hundred two-layer iron shields were quickly divided, and basically the soldiers who could receive the iron shields were considered to be relatively strong.
The training plan set by Yang Xiu in the past was also slightly modified by Lu Changfeng, and the training volume of these thousand soldiers with iron shields was a little more than that of others.
As the saying goes, it takes a while to raise a soldier for a thousand days, but what Gray Pigeon Harbor and Yang Xiu lack most at present is time, so this batch of recruits must have combat ability as soon as possible, otherwise the situation of Gray Pigeon Harbor will be very dangerous.
The cavalry regiment in Lu Changfeng's hand was very weak in defending the town, Yang Xiu needed an infantry regiment to defend Gray Pigeon Harbor, and the iron shield was prepared for this infantry regiment, which was also the reason why Yang Xiu sent Lu Changfeng back in advance.
In the past few days, Lu Changfeng has not had much rest, he has been busy working in the garrison, frantically torturing this group of recruits, so that the original four or five thousand recruits have been reduced by half in just a few days, and this number is still decreasing.
......
Yang Xiu and his entourage finally came back, and only Yang Zhicai was waiting to greet them at the gate of the lord's mansion, and there was no Lu Changfeng and Chengzong.
"Where's Miss Lu?" Yang Xiu turned over and dismounted and looked at Yang Zhicai.
"Clean up the mess in the garrison for the young master." Yang Zhicai shook his head, obviously the situation of recruit training is not optimistic.
"What did my father say?" Yang Xiu also sighed and asked.
"The city lord promised to personally assist the young master with 10,000 gold coins, and I have already used this money to pay for the order of the blacksmith shop, plus the previous balance, it should be able to survive this winter."
"I have 20,000 here, you take it first." Yang Xiu took out two golden tickets and handed them to Yang Zhicai.
"Tell me if there is anything to spend, and by the way, call Miss Lu and Chengzong." Yang Xiu commanded, and then walked into the mansion.
Yang Zhicai left in response, Yao Wanxin obediently followed Yang Xiu into the lord's mansion, and Tanaka Sakura disappeared and didn't know where she went.
It didn't take long for Lu Changfeng to rush back with Chengzong, and found that Yang Xian was lying comfortably in the courtyard, Yao Wanxin was serving on the side, and there were a lot of summer-flavored fruits next door, and life was quite comfortable.
Lu Changfeng, who was covered in sweat, saw this scene, found a stool without saying a word, and sat down, looking at Yang Xiu.
Chengzong touched his head, and when he saw that no one spoke, he didn't dare to speak first, so he stood aside obediently.
"You go down first." Yang Xiu sent Yao Wanxin away, and then sat up straight.
"Have you arrived with the cavalry regiment?"
"I'll be there tomorrow." Lu Changfeng took a breath and said.
"I'm afraid this group of people can't hide, you go out tomorrow and take them to survey the terrain first, you don't have to come back for the time being." Yang Xiu thought about it for a while and said his plan.
"Then here..."Lu Changfeng was obviously not very relieved about the Gray Pigeon Harbor.
"Don't worry, no problem." Yang Xiu was inexplicably confident.
"Chengzong, how is the recruitment of soldiers?"
"You'd better ask Commander Lu." Chengzong lowered his head and said.
"Originally, there were five or six thousand, but many of them couldn't stand the training you set, and many people left, and now there are about two thousand."
"Two thousand is enough, but it's a pity that Yang Ping is not here, otherwise these two thousand people can play a miraculous effect." Yang Xiu squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I'll go first." Lu Changfeng shook his head.
"Take care."
"I hope you're doing the right thing." After saying this, Lu Changfeng turned around and left.
The honest Chengzong was still standing aside, waiting for Yang Xiu's orders.
"What are you doing stupidly, and then go and train those soft eggs for Lao Tzu." Yang Xiu was not happy when he saw Chengzong like this, and said angrily.
"That's down." Chengzong was not angry, answered honestly, and left.
After the two left, Yang Xiu called Yang Zhicai again and mentioned the problem of the Gray Pigeon Port Iron Mine.
"Where is the iron ore in Grey Pigeon Harbor? I want to check it out. Yang Xiu asked.
"In the southwest of Gray Pigeon Harbor, it is not far from the iron mine of the second young master Yang An and the fifth young master Yang Wu." Yang Zhicai responded.
"Is there anyone on site?"
"Not really."
"Then you don't need to look at it, most of it has already fallen into Yang An's hands. Let's go, let's take another look at Grey Pigeon Harbor. Yang Xiu sighed, his own iron mine has basically been forcibly occupied by Yang An, and it is not interesting to go.
And Yang Xiu really needs to master the terrain of the Gray Pigeon Harbor, and this plan is directly related to whether Yang Xiu can gain a firm foothold in the Gray Pigeon Harbor, so Yang Xiu must be foolproof and can deal with any unexpected situation.
Grey Pigeon Harbour is a typical harbor with a U-shaped shape with lighthouses at each end of the U-shape for ships sailing at night to find the location of the port.
Yang Xiu walked along the way, and the layout of the entire Gray Pigeon Port port was already clear to him.
"I'm going to give up the port." Yang Xiu stood on the lighthouse on the left at this moment and said to Yang Zhicai.
"You can't stop the Dongyi people here, the terrain is too open."
"What are the young master's plans?" When Yang Zhicai heard this, he naturally knew that Yang Xiu had something to say, so he asked along the way.
"Mobilize the old folks, I want to renovate the Gray Pigeon Port."
"And I'm afraid I will also trouble you, persuade the villages around the Gray Pigeon Harbor, it is best to move to the Gray Pigeon Harbor collectively." Yang Xiu said, obviously wanting to take advantage of this Dongyi incident to increase the population of Gray Pigeon Harbor.
"It's hard." Yang Zhicai sighed, a little embarrassed.
"I know it's difficult, but please Uncle Cai must do your best, once the Dongyi people come over, the residents near the Gray Pigeon Harbor are afraid that ......" Yang Xiu didn't continue, and the rest of the words were self-evident.
"I understand, but Grey Pigeon Harbor has been peaceful for too long, and I'm afraid no one cares too much about the threat of the Dongyi." Yang Zhicai said worriedly.
"Uncle Cai, are you afraid?" Yang Xiu also knew the difficulty, so he was silent and asked after a while.
"I'm all old bones, what's there to be afraid of." Yang Zhicai smiled freely.
"You're not worried about Yang Ping?" Yang Xiu paused and asked again.
"Ping'er...... Master, you also know that I am such an only son. In the future, if I have an accident, please treat Yang Ping kindly. Yang Zhicai hesitated for a moment and said sincerely.
Yang Xiu turned his head to look at the sky and said nothing.
At this time, the afterglow will be hidden, the light moon is hazy, the gray clouds jump in the gap of the glow, the sea breeze blows, and Yang Xiu's hair also swayed.
Yang Zhicai was apprehensive in his heart, waiting for Yang Xiu's reply.
In fact, Yang Zhicai has always been very glad for his original choice, Yang Xiu's ability and skills are very comparable, and Yang Zhicai has also heard some about Yang Xiu's Andu Ling trip.
Yang Xiu is much better than Yang An, and Yang An can sit on such a large piece of rich land as An Duling, most of which is not based on his own ability.
In the week that Yang Xiu came to Gray Pigeon Port, Yang Zhicai really felt the extraordinaryness of this young master, if it really continued according to this momentum, Yang Xiu would inevitably pose a great threat to Yang Cheng's inheritance of Gray Pigeon City.
"I see." Yang Xiu said casually.
Yang Zhicai breathed a sigh of relief, stood aside respectfully, and didn't dare to speak again.
"My father, did you ever mention me?" Yang Xiu didn't look back, and asked calmly, so that people couldn't hear any waves.
"I asked the young master about the current situation." Yang Zhicai couldn't guess Yang Xiu's mind for a while, so he could only answer as pertinently as possible.
"Tell me about it."
"The city lord said that the young master has finally grown up." Yang Zhicai thought about it carefully, but he couldn't remember whether the city lord had asked Yang Xiu about the situation, and in the end he could only make up a sentence helplessly, with obvious embarrassment on his face.
"That's what he said?" Yang Xiu turned his head, and his face showed a look of amazement.
"The city lord actually cares about the young master." Yang Zhicai saw that Yang Xiu was angry, and hurriedly changed the topic, even more afraid to answer Yang Xiu.
"Uncle Cai doesn't need to cover it up for him, he can't remember my son at all." Yang Xiu laughed at himself, obviously seeing through Yang Zhicai's lies.
"The city lord is also involuntarily, please forgive the young master." Yang Zhicai still stubbornly defended Yang Xiu's cheap father.
"Uncle Cai seems to know my father well?" Yang Xiu paused when he heard this, and then asked with a smile.
"The city lord and I are old friends, so naturally we also know something." Yang Zhicai replied calmly.
"I don't have any feelings for him, and it's just nonsense to talk too much." Yang Xiu waved his hand, then turned around and walked down the lighthouse.
Yang Xiu walked very slowly on this night road, and Yang Zhicai followed very slowly, and the two of them gradually disappeared into the night.
