After the incident in Giethoorn, in the next few days, Giethoorn was in a state of joy, although it did not cause much trauma to the horse thieves in the Black Wind Cottage, but the timely rescue of the Southern Navy at the time of the incident made the people of Giethoorn feel a lot more at ease, at least knowing that the Southern Navy stationed around Giethoorn Town would indeed protect them.

And on the night of the end of the matter, Ding Li also personally led the army to arrive outside Giethoorn Town, just brought a group of personal guards into the town to appease the people, and at the same time praised the militia who reported the news in time that day, and then promised on the spot that a small batch of standard equipment would be allocated to arm the militia in Giethoorn Town the next day, although there are only the most common horizontal knives and horn bows, but after all, these are all standard weapons, which is enough to make those militiamen hold the weapons in their hands all night and can't close their eyes.

Of course, the efforts of the Southern Navy have also been rewarded handsomely, and under the proposal and organization of several prestigious elders in the town, Giethoorn Town has provided two hundred stone of food for the Southern Navy, although it is not a large amount for the large number of Southern Navy, but it is also a few days of food. At present, the Southern Navy is in the midst of rapid expansion, although Ding Li does not want to accept the benefits of Giethoorn Town at this time, but in the end, he can't refuse the hospitality of the people of Giethoorn Town, just after pushing off the reward banquet that night, he also accepted the reward from Giethoorn Town early the next morning.

Of course, this is not the only reason why the people of Giethoorn Town are overjoyed, but the other two news that Ding Li brought to them, Huojialing, which gathers many horse thieves, will be peacefully recruited by the Southern Navy in the near future, and the other largest force, the Black Wind Cottage, will be sent by the Southern Navy to carry out a thorough encirclement and suppression operation in the near future.

The horse thieves of the Black Wind Cottage have long been notorious, but the power is quite large and secretly has an unclear relationship with some forces in the Guangzhou Mansion, so they have been entrenched in the area of the Black Wind Mountain, and have accumulated for a long time, and the power has long been deep-rooted, so when Ding Li proposed to encircle and suppress the horse thieves in the Black Wind Cottage, those old men who were too timid in Giethoorn Town raised their inner worries, although they did not say it explicitly, but all of them said to Ding Li that in case the Southern Navy was unfavorable, I'm afraid that the revenge of the Black Wind Cottage is not something that Giethoorn can afford.

In fact, to put it bluntly, that is, the Southern Navy has not yet shown its true strength in the eyes of the people of Giethoorn Town, although the current turmoil of the Black Wind Cottage has temporarily passed, but it has aroused the concerns of the people of Giethoorn Town, compared to letting the Southern Navy send troops to encircle and suppress the horse thieves on the Black Wind Mountain, the people of Giethoorn Town are more willing to let the Southern Navy stand still, at least showing the trend of horning and protecting Giethoorn Town in the middle of the Southern Navy can ensure the complete peace of Giethoorn Town.

However, this is just wishful thinking in the hearts of many people in Giethoorn Town, Ding Li doesn't think so, Black Wind Cottage is dominated by horse thieves, although its actions are not elusive, but every attack is also a surprise, rather than being vigilant and stubborn, it is better to take the initiative to attack, at least there is no need to be on guard at all times The horse thieves of Black Wind Cottage may attack Sheep Horn Town at any time.

On the other hand, once it succeeds, it will not only make the name of the new army of the Southern Navy louder, but also make some favorable impetus in the matter of recruiting Huojialing, after all, after the absolute strength is clear, the minds of Huojialing's group will be much more stable in the future.

While preparing to send troops to encircle and suppress the Black Wind Cottage, Ding Li asked Xu Hong to go to Guangzhou Mansion to move around more, and obtain the consent of Jiedu Mansion as soon as possible to recruit the heroes of Huojialing Green Forest, and at the same time asked Xu Hong to find a way to meet Liu Sheng.

Regarding Liu Sheng's access to Jiedu Mansion, Ding Li was quite calm, although what he did before was dedicated to Jiedu Mansion and Zhang's Chamber of Commerce, it was a bit excessive after all, especially on the issue of Fuxu Port holding the city envoy hostage. At present, Liu Sheng's 'house arrest', Ding Li thinks that it is the degree of moderation that makes Li Zhen in order to restrain himself, but he seems to feel that Li Li is secretly helping himself, Ding Li is now 'famous' in Guangzhou Mansion, of course, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, Ding Li is in this situation now, the enemies and enemies in the open and secretly cannot be counted, if Liu Sheng still lives in Ding Mansion in Guangzhou City, I am afraid that even if the defense work is done well, it is inevitable that something will go wrong.

And the leper five who appeared a while ago suddenly disappeared in recent times, and even the Zhang Chamber of Commerce and the Cao Chamber of Commerce both joined forces, but they failed to find out this potentially dangerous force, and they couldn't even find any clues.

In fact, Leper Wu is not stupid, as early as the last time he failed to catch the smuggling ship owner Liu Fu, he took someone to slip away in time, and now he got the news that Liu Fu's matter has completely become a thing of the past, especially the Jiedu Mansion and the observation that the two sides have reached an agreement not to pursue any further investigation of this matter, so Leper Wu had to give up this opportunity that could still turn over, and lurked in a dark place around Guangzhou Mansion again, waiting for the opportunity to move.

In six days, the Jiedu Mansion finally dealt with the matter submitted by the Southern Navy to recruit the thousands of green forests in Huojialing, as long as Huojialing is willing to surrender to the imperial court and be transferred by the Jiedu Mansion in the future, everyone including Huo Lang will no longer be held accountable for everything in the past, this order undoubtedly gives a new identity to all the bandits who have fallen into the grass in Huojialing.

Of course, in exchange for all this, Huojialing will be reorganized by the Jiedu Mansion in the future, but Ding Li has always adhered to his bottom line, that is, he must not use any reason to suppress Huojialing's people directly or in disguise in the future. And Huo Lang always insisted on the conditions he proposed, and everything was voluntary, and he was not allowed to forcibly reorganize his brothers.

In this regard, Ding Li is in line with Huo Lang's view, all the vacant positions provided by Jiedu Mansion are voluntarily selected by those people in Huojialing, even those who are not willing to be horse thieves and unwilling to join the army, Ding Li also provides them with fields near Sheephorn Town, Jiedu Mansion has no objections in this regard, especially for those who are disarmed and returned to the field, and also offers attractive conditions of tax exemption for three years, after all, the dissolution of a powerful horse thief is also a rare good thing for Jiedu Mansion.

In the next few days, Jiedu Mansion sent a negotiation team headed by Yang Hongwen and the Huojialing negotiation team headed by Huo Lang to carry out fierce discussions in the Southern Naval Camp, while Ding Li acted as an intermediary to carry out various reconciliations and maintain the balance of the final interests of both sides, and it was very smooth in a few days.

And the final result shocked Huo Lang, more than 1,300 people, after the final detailed statistics, half of them chose to understand Jia Guitian, this result also surprised Ding Li and Yang Hongwen, but in an instant, the three of them also figured it out, there are too many days of fighting and killing, and naturally they want to be more stable, and the opportunity in front of them is definitely a rare opportunity in life, especially those horse thieves who have guarded Huojialing for countless years, at this moment more wishes are to be able to have a small house of their own, Then have a field of your own, find a daughter-in-law who can live, and spend the rest of your life in peace.

In addition, there are some people who choose to enter Guangzhou City to serve in different departments, and even those who are in charge of fighting at night have become sought-after positions for a while, and these people also claim to be quite far-sighted, and after staying in the city for a long time, they will naturally accumulate some contacts, and they can also take care of any difficulties in the future.

Until the final count, there were only more than 300 people who were willing to follow Huo Lang to stay in the Southern Navy, which was only a small part of the entire Huojialing, and most of these people were brothers who had followed Huo Lang to hunt down the Black Wind Cottage horse thieves outside Sheephorn Town.

After nearly half a month of discussing the agreement, most of the matter of recruiting Huojialing bandits was finally settled, and all that remained was to wait for Yang Hongwen to return to Guangzhou City to report all this, and then began a series of personnel transfers and integrations.

However, in the past half a month, the entire South Navy has not been idle, the original camp wall has been expanded by more than one zhang, and even the height has reached nearly four zhang, the original camp gate is being rebuilt at the moment, and the final modification is to become an arched city gate like the city, more than three zhang long, three zhang wide stone city gate.

Since the last time the wolf smoke ignited in Giethoorn Town caused the veterans of the Southern Navy to go out of the camp for emergency support, and then returned to the camp in glory, those recruits who later joined the army to join the Southern Navy were inspired by the quite shocking scene at that time to a certain extent, and in the following time, whether it was expanding the barracks or training on the school ground, they were all working hard, especially the words that Ding Li said were widely circulated in the army, and they sweated more in peacetime and shed less blood in battle.

On the afternoon of the day when the discussion of Zhao'an Huojialing was over, Ding Li, who was physically and mentally exhausted, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and personally sent Huo Lang and the others out of the barracks specially vacated as a conference hall, and then had a short conversation with Yang Hongwen.

Most of the direct conversations between the two were about Liu Sheng and Zhang Mingzhi, who fled to sea, but what disappointed Ding Li was that for such a long time, there was no news about Zhang Mingzhi at sea, but Yang Hongwen brought Ding Li a news that made him quite excited but a little sad, Zhang Yurou found Yang Hongwen again and again, and asked Yang Hongwen to take her to the Southern Navy camp, saying that there was something important to discuss with Ding Li in detail, and it had to be face-to-face.

Of course, as soon as Zhang Yurou was mentioned, Ding Li remembered the oath he had made to Liu Sheng when he was in Zhang's mansion before, so he naturally avoided the topic as much as possible, or even deliberately avoided it. And Yang Hongwen didn't say much about this, Yang Hongwen also had a certain understanding of the relationship between Ding Li and Zhang Yurou, and he just didn't want to say anything about this kind of thing, in the end, he could only ask Ding Li to deal with it carefully, and at the same time assured Ding Li that he would never shirk if he could help him carry it down, but he still hoped that Ding Li would deal with it properly as soon as possible, so as not to delay it for too long, have many dreams at night, and even make an unpleasant situation between the two sides.
