Chapter Seventy-Eight: Meeting at Sea

"Master, where are we going?"

Lei Hu wore a short training uniform, followed his master Huang Feihong to the Black Flag Army garrison in Chancheng barracks, and then came to a remote beach with the garrison generals.

He was told by Huang Feihong early in the morning to temporarily stop today's training and go out with him.

"Commander Liu will come over immediately!"

Huang Feihong did not continue to hide it, and said with a smile; "Commander Liu values you very much, and I want to see you by name in person!"

Liu Yongfu wants to see himself?

Lei Hu was a little puzzled, he had been indulging in high-intensity training recently, and he was a little slow to react to things in the outside world, and he didn't understand what Liu Yongfu meant?

To say that his relationship with the Black Flag Army is naturally inferior to his master Huang Feihong on the surface, but in fact, the connection is closer and stronger.

It's not for any other reason, and it has nothing to do with emotional factors, it's just about interests!

At this time, the number of young and strong people in Chancheng has exceeded two thousand!

Among them, 1,67 are all converted from the soldiers of the Black Flag Army, and hundreds are recruited from the local area of Chancheng.

The boss of the militia is Huang Feihong in name, and the actual manager is Lei Hu, but he didn't make much effort, according to the original organizational structure of the Black Flag Army, and added some supervision mechanisms, so he let the original people of the militia manage themselves, and he only did the last one to supervise.

These are of course nothing, and on the contrary, they are likely to cause a big backlash.

What kind of thing is Lei Hu, first, he has no experience in the Black Flag Army, and second, he is not a senior general in the Qing army, how can he be qualified to command and supervise them?

His confidence lies in the finances, the finances of the militia are almost supported by Lei Hu, and nearly 2,000 soldiers of the Black Flag Army have been transformed into young and strong militias, and they have all benefited from it, although they have worked hard, but they have lived a very nourishing life.

Dart boards, transport teams, large farms, fishing fleets......

All of them are labor-intensive industries, and they are all extremely hot sunny industries, which can swallow thousands of young people as hired workers in one breath.

Not only do they get their share of the militia's salary, but they also get an additional salary from the place where they work, and each militia can get much more benefits than when they were in the Black Flag Army.

With these foundations, Lei Hu's prestige in the militia at this time is irreparable, and his speech is much more useful than Liu Yongfu's, including those original Black Flag Army.

There is no way, no matter how noble the personality charm is, it can't compare to the real benefits.

Besides, the Black Flag Army has always been hostile to our Qing court, and life is not easy.

Following the great disarmament a year and a half ago, the Black Flag Army was successively dismissed by hundreds of people piecemeal, and now the number of regular Black Flag Army in Liu Yongfu's hands is less than 1,000!

That's it, my Daqing still hasn't given up the idea of continuing to suppress, and I can't wait for the Black Flag Army to be finished.

Liu Yongfu must be uncomfortable in his heart, but he didn't have the idea of making a fuss, although he was very dissatisfied with the actions of the imperial court, he didn't mean to carry it to the end.

Fortunately, only a few of these dismissed Black Flag Army officers and soldiers took the initiative to apply to go home and find another way out, and most of them were accepted by the Chancheng militia and quickly digested and integrated.

It can be said that our Qing court spent a lot of energy, and it was not easy to reduce the strength of the Black Flag Army again and again, and in essence, it had no effect, except for making the Black Flag Army more alienated from the imperial court.

Of course, although Liu Yongfu has a very high prestige, his influence on the militia is just like that, and it is Lei Hu who is really in charge.

If the Black Flag Army and Lei Hu had a conflict, the relationship between the militia and the Black Flag Army, although it would not be possible to completely sever it, would no longer be as close as before.

Everyone is a smart person, and they all consciously maintain the relationship of the alliance.

For such a long time, Lei Hu asked the Black Flag Army to do some tricky things, and the Black Flag Army also received a lot of materials, grain and grass support from Lei Hu's side, this cooperation model is beneficial to both sides, and it is planned to be maintained forever.

Recently, Lei Hu has been immersed in high-intensity workouts, although he will find time to deal with dock affairs every day, while maintaining a small understanding of the outside world, he really hasn't had much contact with the Black Flag Army.

……

"Coming, coming......"

The voice of the generals of the Black Flag Army stationed in Chancheng who came over with them shocked Huang Feihong and Lei Hu's spirits, and they followed to look at the sea.

To their disappointment, there were only three small fishing boats floating slowly on the sea.

Has Nima, the dignified commander of the Black Flag Army, been reduced to such a field?

"Master, what's going on?"

Lei Hu was really confused, and asked his master Huang Feihong directly, this person also has the name of the head of the Black Flag Army, and has a close relationship with the Black Flag Army, and will meet Liu Yongfu from time to time.

"Don't worry, you'll know later!"

Huang Feihong was also confused, so he could only respond vaguely.

"Two, it's not convenient to talk on the shore, this is the fishing boat that came to pick us up, so as not to obstruct some people's eyes!"

At this time, the general of the Black Flag Army stationed in Chancheng suddenly spoke and explained indifferently.

Lei Hu suddenly didn't know what Liu Yongfu was asking him to do, it shouldn't be a simple fate, otherwise with the relationship of his master Huang Feihong, he would have to come out with a lot of things, and there was no need to meet him alone at sea.

Sure enough, after the three fishing boats docked, several fierce Black Flag Army soldiers jumped out of them, all of whom were Liu Yongfu's close guards, Lei Hu had seen them before but was not familiar with them.

They came over and said hello first, and then asked a few people to board the boat together, indicating that the sea ship led by Liu was waiting for them on the sea more than ten miles away.

Why are you making all this trouble?

Although Lei Hu muttered in his heart, he didn't show it, and honestly followed his master Huang Feihong on the fishing boat, and then took the fishing boat out to sea slowly.

……

"Hahaha, Lei Hu hasn't seen you for a long time, look at your complexion is better than before!"

Seeing Lei Hu on board, Liu Yongfu laughed and grabbed his hand, and said with a warm smile on his face.

"Commander Liu is polite!"

Lei Hu smiled slightly, his expression did not change in the slightest, he glanced back at his master Huang Feihong, looked around and there was no one else, he smiled and said straight to the point: "Commander Liu, what is the matter is bluntly, with our relationship, there is no need to hide the friendship!" ”

"Brother Thunder Tiger said yes!"

The smile on Liu Yongfu's face flickered, and he nodded and agreed: "Invite Brother Lei Hu over this time, it's really that Liu is in trouble here, and I want to ask Brother Lei Hu for something!" ”

You're direct enough!

Lei Hu was slandered in his stomach, but his face was silent, and he nodded and smiled; "Tell me, if I can help, I won't refuse!"

The subtext is, don't blame me if you can't help......
