In the headquarters of the Yingkou base of the 'Revolutionary Army', all the high-ranking personnel are holding a seafood feast.

Zhou Qingfeng held a bowl of scallion roasted sea cucumber in his hand and ate a large piece of food. The sea cucumber is delicious and the soup is rich, which makes people feel very satisfied. He smiled as he pulled it into his mouth: "It's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious." ”

The sea cucumbers in the bowl were large and fat, and there was not just one, but a large bowl of sea. The chopsticks disappeared into Zhou Qingfeng's mouth. Seeing that he was happy to eat, the cook in charge of cooking the dishes was also very happy, and introduced to him: "My lord, please try this steamed abalone, it is extremely chewy." ”

In the headquarters, the three traversers who ate seafood were Zhou Qingfeng and others. They ate with their mouths full of oil, and they couldn't be happier. Others are either not used to eating seafood, or feel that seafood is not as good as rice and noodles to fill their stomachs and resist hunger, and they don't understand that Mao's own boss is happier to eat seafood than chicken, duck, cow and sheep.

Eat sea cucumber and eat abalone, eat abalone and eat prawns. Zhou Qingfeng swept half of the table before touching his stomach with satisfaction, and said with a burp: "It's good to rely on the sea, the fish and shrimp in the sea grow by themselves, and you can eat them when you catch them." Even if you don't go to the sea, the food on the tidal flats alone is abundant enough. What is this? This is a sea intestine, it doesn't look good, but it tastes good. ”

The cook who cooked the dishes was a local from Yingkou, and when he heard Zhou Qingfeng praise the seaside so much, he said with a wry smile: "My lord is from the mainland, but I am afraid that I don't know the bitterness of our seaside." These fish and shrimp are all things for the poor to eat, and the rich are not happy to eat this. Besides, we fishermen can't always eat fish and shrimp, we still have to eat rice and noodles, but we can't grow rice and wheat on the beach. ”

In the end, the cook wiped tears and wanted to cry. Although there are difficulties in various places, although it depends on the sea to eat the sea, but if life by the sea is really so easy, the fishermen will not live as well as the farmers in the mainland.

"Follow me, life will be better." Zhou Qingfeng waved his hand to remove the tableware and dishes on the table, and at the same time smiled at the cook: "The revolutionary army is here for the toiling masses, after we come, won't we open a big market to sell rice and grain for the people along the coast?" As long as we can have one heart, there is no obstacle in this world that cannot be overcome. ”

Xu Bing and Li Shuwei had just finished eating, and they both felt sour when they heard Zhou Qingfeng playing officially. Obviously, there is a lack of fresh meat in the Yingkou base, and there is also a lack of mass base, so they have to rely on holding a bazaar to win people's hearts and solve the problem of eating. But when this matter came to Zhou Qingfeng's mouth, it became a virtuous government of grace, but the cook nodded again and again, and he was about to kneel and kowtow.

"Eh...... we don't want to kowtow. Pack up your things and go down, and when you go home, you can tell more people to come and trade with us, and it is absolutely fair for us to buy and sell things. Any oppression can be sued, and we are absolutely in charge of the people. After Zhou Qingfeng finished speaking, the cook was already crying bitterly and was grateful to Dade.

After the desktop was cleaned up, Xu Bing began to make a simple daily work report. "Ever since we started the market and started spreading the word, a lot of people have come to us within 50 miles. Today alone, at least 3,000 people went to the market to trade, and we got 27 pigs, five sheep, more than 300 chickens, more than 4,000 catties of fish, and shellfish and seafood are difficult to count.

We sold about three tons of miscellaneous grains and three hundred and twenty taels worth of groceries. The sale of these materials has greatly strengthened our relationship with the surrounding people and created good conditions for our local activities. We even got in touch with the government-run salt factory in Haizhouwei and bought 300 quintals of salt in one go. ”

Zhou Qingfeng took 10,000 horses from Fushun to the seaside, and salt has always been in short supply. This may sound like a joke, but in fact, salt was also an important commodity in the trade between Fushun and the Jurchen barbarians. Now I can get 300 quintals of salt, which is enough for two or three months of consumption within the 'revolutionary army'.

The availability of a variety of non-staples and meat provides a stable source of protein, especially the supply of large quantities of fish and seafood. It's just that Zhou Qingfeng is not very satisfied with the quantity, "The chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep on the land will soon be eaten by us." I still have to find a way to get more fish and shrimp, which are all high-quality proteins. Four thousand pounds is too little, we need more. ”

Li Shuwei interjected and said: "I have seen the fishing methods of fishermen now, their boats are small and their nets are small, and the fishing efficiency is too low. In fact, the current marine fishery resources are almost endless, and the estuary of the Da Liao River is a natural fishing ground, and the mackerel here is very famous. It's just a pity that we don't have the right tools to catch them. ”

"Hire some fishermen to organize our own fishing teams and work together. Try to strengthen the tissue performance and not increase the amount of catch? We're really going to eat the sea now. The sea is the granary, and it would be a waste not to use it. Zhou Qingfeng and Li Shuwei discussed it, and they were still able to come up with a lot of solutions.

Xu Bing finally said: "More than 120 people want to join us today, 30 more than yesterday. Most of them are landless farmers, or bankrupt fishermen. In addition, I want to sell more of my children and even my wife. Agriculture in this part of Liaodong has collapsed, and a large amount of land has been concentrated in the hands of a small number of powerful people. Others are either dead or waiting to die. ”

"When the war is chaotic, more people will die." Zhou Qingfeng did not comment further. He has already formulated quite complete containment regulations for the legion, and outsiders who want to join will go through multiple screenings, training, and assessments. After all, now that the strong enemy is looking around, it is inevitable that someone will make up their minds and want to infiltrate.

After the briefing, there is still important work.

Gao Da Niu walked to the table of the headquarters with several officers of the legion, twisted it for a while, and said, "My lord, we have formulated a reconnaissance plan according to your wishes. ”

"Say it." There was a map in front of Zhou Qingfeng's desk, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at it, so he didn't say much, but stared at the tall cow.

Gao Da Niu looked at the Wumen Gate on the left, then at Chai Jie on the right, and at Sang Wenlai, who was bowing his head behind him and trying to reduce his presence. He said to Zhou Qingfeng with a sad face: "My lord, you have always made the decision to fight, and we will just follow it." Why do you need us to come up with ideas? I've just learned 500 words, and I haven't even taken the elementary class in mathematics, so I ....... ”

Zhou Qingfeng's gaze swept over the few military backbones in front of him, and he also sighed helplessly. He's just going to have so many people that he can't find anyone else. There was a Tan Feng before, but unfortunately 'the Tao is different, not conspiring with each other'. There is another Han Shi, and after only one day, he has to go home to pick up his family, and he doesn't know if he will come back.

"If I don't train you now, what will I do in the future? In the future, there will be more and more troops, and the battle will become bigger and bigger. A person who has no brains can only be a big soldier for the rest of his life. Stop talking nonsense, tell me about the reconnaissance plan you have made. Zhou Qingfeng still pointed to the map.

Wu Damen was impatient, so he simply rushed to say: "My lord, since you want to fight the lair of the pirate 'turning the sea Jiao', this is not simple?" I'll just take one with me. ”

"Where is the nest of the 'Turning Sea Jiao'? Do you know? ”

"Find a guide."

"Is the guide unreliable?"

"My old martial artist has a big axe on his neck, can he be reliable?"

"I'll put an axe on your neck now, can you take me to find the lair of the 'Turning Sea Jiao'?"

"I'm not a guide ...... this one."

"Putting the success or failure of a combat operation on a guide, do you think your life is too long?"

Wumen suddenly became dumbfounded.

Zhou Qingfeng's gaze swept around again, and the four officers in front of him had all been on the battlefield and killed people, but he was horrified and his back was cold.

The second person named was Chai Jie, the commander of a small female soldier company, and the girl stammered after being asked. After a while, she sweated on her forehead and said with a crying voice, "My lord, I don't know how to look at the map. ”

Zhou Qingfeng rolled his eyes up, took a deep breath, and kept saying to himself in his heart, 'Hold back, hold back, hold back, don't lose your temper'. He asked in a deep voice, "What were you all doing when I gave you a map lesson?" Every time I asked, you all understood. Now tell me I won't look at the map? ”

Chai Jie's thin body has grown a lot stronger in the past few months, and her yellow hair has become thicker and blacker. She can kill people with a pulley bow without blinking, but in front of Zhou Qingfeng, she cried and shed tears after being questioned a few times.

Zhou Qingfeng's gaze patrolled again, and Sang Wenlai, who was standing behind and trying to dodge, was named, "You are a carpenter." Don't tell me, you can't read a map either. ”

"Subordinates can understand, understand." Sang Wenlai could only nod.

The tall Niu and Wu Gate, who were originally standing in front, seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly got out of the way and pushed Sang Wenlai to the front. As soon as Sang Wen came up, Zhou Qingfeng asked, "How are you going to investigate?" ”

"I ......." Sang Wenlai stubbornly said a few words 'I', racking his brains and saying: "I'll take a few people first, find a guide to explore the way, just like walking relatives to find the nest of the 'sea Jiao'." Then see how many people he has, where he lives, and how to arm? And then back. ”

Listening to Sang Wen talk about such a long list, Gao Da Niu and Wu Damen secretly gave them approving glances, and they almost gave a thumbs up in front of them. Sang Wenlai swallowed his throat himself, and said secretly in his heart: "I'm just a carpenter, at most I will put an explosive bag and bomb people into the sky." I don't know how to investigate or not. ”

Zhou Qingfeng turned his head and discussed a few words with Xu Bing and Li Shuwei, and then turned around and said: "When I formed the Guards, I compiled a book of "Infantry Drill Manual", have you read that book? There's a detailed description of infantry reconnaissance. You need to determine the way back and forth, the road conditions. The enemy's defense, number, equipment, will to fight are also determined. ”

As soon as he said this, the four officers hurriedly nodded their heads 'oh oh oh', as if they suddenly realized. Zhou Qingfeng pinched his forehead below and said, "I can't leave the Yingkou base, so this reconnaissance operation is for the four of you to lead the team out." ”

Eh, ......, the four officers were suddenly shocked - it's not enough to make a plan, but we still have to do it ourselves?
