"Roar, the Chaojiazhuang Escort is back!"

"Well, that's great, you feel safe looking at it."

"Straight lady thief, Yunzhou officials and soldiers only know how to knock bones and suck the marrow."

"Brothers, wait until next time to bring some fishing boats to Chao Tianwang."

……

Although the Jinsha River Wharf was burned in many places, it was largely undamaged. The caravans who were desperate shouted when they saw the Chaofu guards. Seeing that there were only a dozen or so boats on the river, many people were willing to help generously.

Just because the detour is too troublesome, it is convenient and fast to take the waterway!

Yes, the Yunzhou Zhizhou's plan to set up an official ferry here is stillborn. Jeju Shi Xianggong seized the initiative, personally sent his henchmen to Chaojiazhuang to inform Wu Yong, and then sent guards to guard the town, and the ship government came forward to Zhang Luo.

When Chao Gai returned home and learned the news, he naturally sent a team to guard it. Zhang Shun in the waves, the fourth battalion of the water army defense area led by Wang Dingliu. Led by Ruan Xiaoqi, they took a boat from Shuibo to Shijie Village.

Just halfway through, I saw a shocking scene.

"Kill, kill!"

"Rush, give me a broadboard."

There are more than 100 large and small ships in the waters, including thousands of large boats, hundreds of saury boats, huge building boats, small and medium-sized fishing boats, divided into several teams and fighting together.

The ship's soldiers wore turbans of distinct colors and fought fiercely with long sticks wrapped in dipping tablets. There were at least several thousand soldiers on more than 100 ships.

"This is our troll? How powerful is it? ”

On the boat in the distance, Zhang Shun, Fei Bao, Ni Yun and others were dumbfounded. Counting the ships, counting the number of people, I can't help but look at the insider.

"Of course, the navy is the most complete and invests the most manpower and material resources." Ruan Xiaoqi, who was standing at the bow of the boat, laughed and succinctly mentioned the affairs of several water villages in Shijie Village, and what is the scale of the water army now?

"Qilang, most of my camp are water ghosts, so I need to help me choose them when the time comes." Zhang Shun pulled Ruan Xiaoqi and looked at Fei Bao and the others vigilantly.

"Yo, little Shunzi, you're not good like this!"

"I really don't blame the little brother, there are five thousand of you brothers."

It's okay not to say it, Ruan Xiaoqi patted his head: "Yes, yes, don't say that I forgot, transfer five hundred veterans to form a framework." After that, recruit on your own. ”

"Shichiro, you can't discriminate like that."

"A few brothers, there are only three or five thousand veterans, and you can't pick them all away."

"Even the matter of the ship needs to be discussed carefully."

……

A few people on the boat were still talking and laughing before, but in the blink of an eye, they were arguing over the selection of troops. No matter which battalion it is, it wants more veterans and fewer new recruits.

Zhang Shun, Ruan Xiaoqi, and Wang Dingliu were in a group, and Fei Bao, Ni Yun, Bu Qing, and Di Cheng did not give in to each other, spitting and spitting, and their faces were red.

This is the case with the most well-organized naval army, not to mention other horse infantry armies. Due to the lack of war horses, this situation did not occur for the time being.

The situation is different for the infantry!

"San Lang, you can't do this, leave the good soldiers."

"Yes, we are not familiar with the place, let some good seedlings."

"We have a full staffing of 2,000 people, and it will not affect you much."

"What do you do? So many people dare to bully Saburo? ”

……

The main and deputy generals of several infantry battalions gathered together and ganged up to find Shi Xiu. Eight big men are gossiping, but the deputy general of the special battalion is a bit much. Yang Lin, Kong Ming, Kong Liang, and Chen Bao rushed to help with their hands on their waists.

The two sides also had a tug-of-war over the selection of troops!

In fact, the hotel system has recruited soldiers for several months, and the training is all under Shi Xiu's responsibility. The quality of the soldiers is clearly known, which makes others uneasy.

"Silly fork, my brother will recruit soldiers? Let's go, hurry up. ”

Han Shizhong, as the commander of the pro-guard battalion, is naturally responsible for the establishment of the full building. However, he wittily did not join in the fun, but went straight to the barracks with the adjutant general, where the veterans and recruits combined were at least six or seven thousand.

Why do you have to hold on to San Lang?

After Chao Gai issued the order for militarization, there were huge changes in Chao Fu. First of all, restaurants around the country are more low-key, and the staff go back to the head office for further study. There is a clear division of the teams, and they are busy with the selection and training.

Among them, according to the actual situation, horses, infantry, water, garrison, and pro-guard battalions give priority to picking people, dare to die battalions, vanguard battalions, and trap camps are behind!

The selection criterion is loyalty, followed by physical strength!

Chao Gai knew how much that the generals of the battalions were fighting for this matter, and their faces were red and their necks were thick. But there was not much interference, and the military commanders were very motivated, which is a good thing!

Of course, just in case, it's okay to order a noisy fight, and it's not allowed to do it.

He was only roughly concerned about the recruitment of personnel in the battalions, and he had something to do. According to the request of the beautiful woman Li Qingwan, the skilled old blacksmith was selected, and the carpenter formed a team and named it the Shenji Battalion.

In addition, considering that there would be movement in the Kaichun government, Wu Yong was asked to increase private business contacts with the Jeju government and send capable people to Jinghu Gangneung Mansion.

Time flies, two days have passed in a blink of an eye.

Han Shizhong took a few lieutenants to select the personal guards, and it went smoothly. The more than 100 veterans of the Western Army were all assigned to sharpen, and they were the first to fill the quota. Seeing that there were many good seedlings, he was also selected into the trap camp.

The infantry was sufficient, and the battalions were only arguing for the veterans, and they began to train at full strength. Under the leadership of the generals, every day is either physical training or mountain combat, and they all work hard for the title.

Due to the small number of soldiers, everyone can only divide the veterans equally as the team. In order to make up for the painstaking efforts of the three Nguyen Thiong to train soldiers for more than half a year, more than 20 large ships of thousands of materials were left in the three battalions, and each battalion was recruited in addition to training.

At present, it is still a good people, and this operation can only be carried out in secret. And it is to go to the big lakes and fishing villages next to the rivers to pull people in.

It is worth mentioning that the three brothers Zhu Biao, Zhu Long, and Zhu Hu ate and drank during their detention, and they did not have to engage in manual labor to gain a lot of weight.

In the end, it was sold like a piglet!

Yes, the lives of the three sons are in the hands of others, and Zhu Chaofeng of Zhujiazhuang can not be reborn, and he is very worried about the safety of his son.

Chao Gai met this old man for Luan Tingyu's sake! Chatting with him, the words are soft and hard, hard and soft, indicating that the clay man still has fire, and he will not be spared next time. Then he released his three sons.

And Zhujiazhuang will send 100,000 stone grain and grass.

When the three sons of the Zhu family were brought from the cell, seven were dissatisfied and eight were not angry. Zhu Biao was even more reluctant, gritting his teeth and roaring. Before he finished speaking, he was thrown by Zhu Chaofeng.

That San Lang, you and I will see you again!

Chao Gai saw the resentment in the depths of Zhu Biao's eyes, and knew that this kid couldn't change his eating. also knew that he would collide with him again after all.

This small role is left behind, and he has very important things to deal with.

"Hey, look at it, the head of the 800,000 forbidden army guns and sticks has ended up in this field." Under the big willow tree in the inner house of Chao Mansion, Chao Gai looked at the flying pigeon in his hand and sighed. The land was given to Wu Yong and Xiao Jiasui.

The two military divisions took a look and either shook their heads or sighed.

The news that Zhu Gui sent back from the dry land was surprisingly consistent. The leopard head Lin Chongxue went to Liangshan at night, Wang Lun was narrow-minded and couldn't tolerate people. came up with that kind of bad idea again, and asked Lin Chong to kill an innocent person as a vote. Teacher Lin squatted at the bottom of the mountain for three days, fighting with others before going up the mountain.

Wu rolled his eyes and asked, "Brother, what are your plans?" ”

Chao Gai thought that Chao Mansion was like a grass platform team, and it was very blood-breaking to join. Lin Chong's 800,000 forbidden army gun and stick sect leader is not high, but he has real skills.

"Lin Chong is strong in martial arts and good at training, how can he do it if he doesn't join the gang? I'm going to take a trip to Bianliang Castle in Tokyo to pick up his family and settle down. ”

"Brother, are you leaving again?" Wu Yong sighed.

"The life of the rush, I sent a letter a few months ago, and I can only go to this matter in person." Chao Gai patted him on the shoulder, and then looked at Xiao Jiasui: "When I come back, I will prepare to go to Liangshan, and Xiao Junshi will leave in the spring of next year." As for Jiangling Mansion, let the Yang Lin brothers lead the team to do a few transactions. ”

"Okay, it's all up to my brother." Xiao Jiasui thought that there should not be many refugees fleeing in winter, and he was not in a hurry at this time, so he nodded in agreement.

"Brother, I don't know how long it will take?"

"Picking a restaurant to install people and recruiting skilled craftsmen is not a short time." Chao Gai thought that there were a lot of things going on, and he shook his head and didn't dare to determine the date.

Xiao Jiasui thought of something very important, and his face was a little worried: "Brother, the official government will definitely use troops against Liangshan in the coming year, Wang Lun's rows of rotten garlic, the younger brother thinks they won't last long, and our food ......"

The food problem is not worrying about Xiao Daguan!

Chaojiazhuang has always purchased grain from the government and caravans from all over the country. The reserves are two or three million stones, which is troublesome to store, and it is convenient for the navy to transship. A few months ago, Liang Shan was asked to help with storage. So far, there have been 1.8 million stones, who doesn't worry about so much grain in other people's territory?

Xiao Jiasui was also shocked when he learned of this, and was amazed by Chao Gai's courage.

"Hahaha, Master Xiao doesn't have to worry." Wu Yong smiled and shook the feather fan: "Look at who the imperial court sends to crusade, and then see if the leader of the king is okay?" No, we secretly send people, it is impossible to watch Liangshan be exterminated. ”

"The night attack on Yunzhou can't be hidden. When the imperial court learned about it, it was sure that the army was pressing. It is aimed at encircling and suppressing Shuibo Liangshan, but we have to guard against it. ”

Chao Gai tapped his index finger and middle finger on the table, and after a moment of silence, he ordered: "Ma Jun, the infantry army is ready for battle, the restaurant guards are all mobilized, and the officers and soldiers will eat him if they are not honest, and be ready to go to Liangshan in advance." ”

"I'll understand!" Wu Yong and Xiao Jiasui nodded in unison.

"This is the worst-case scenario, don't worry too much about it first, take it one step at a time." Chao Gai smiled and waved his hand: "Brighten, increase the procurement of grain and grass, and have to go to Liangshan for transportation and storage, by the way, recruit more talents." ”

"Huh, Xiucai?" Wu Yong, Xiao Jiasui didn't understand a little.

"Yes, it's a show, it's very important."

Chao Gai sighed. He then revealed his discoveries and plans in full.

In the past two days, he found a very bad problem, there are many illiterate people! From the soldiers to the generals, the level of education is not very high, and they don't know a few big characters. If you don't even recognize the military order on the battlefield, then hurry home and farm.

Chao Gai thought of recruiting talents and setting up literacy classes to popularize knowledge. Wu Yong, Xiao Jiasui also realized the importance of the problem after hearing the pros and cons. Next, the three of them discussed the details of the matter while drinking tea.
