Chapter 181 The thirsty Chao Gong
Eat the rice in one bite, and it's easy to choke to death if you eat it too quickly!
The road should be walked step by step, the steps are too big and easy to pull, light.
Chao Gai thought of this famous aphorism and felt a lot more relieved, and he couldn't rush it. I still have time to develop, and I can network all kinds of talents during this period. I still have to travel and make friends with heroes and scholars.
Although Chaojiazhuang has a good reputation and attracts many people, it is passive after all. Instead of waiting for talents to come to invest, it is better to visit and win over in person.
Chao Gai was thinking about things, and was suddenly pulled back to his thoughts by a familiar loud voice: "Brother, it seems that there are more than 3,000 good horses, I don't know what to do with them?" ”
When he looked up, he saw that it was a white-haired tiger with a red face. From commanding the infantry to cavalry all of a sudden, the word happy is written on his face.
Sun An didn't expect the other Shanshiqi, he was very surprised and happy. Hearing Ma Xian's first inquiry, they followed closely and expressed their support.
There are more than 3,000 good horses, and each battalion can quickly expand the army by allocating more horses. Who doesn't want to lead thousands of troops and horses, gallop on the battlefield, and make achievements.
"Hmph, don't be dissatisfied, which battalion of war horses doesn't want some?" Chao Gai didn't know how to think carefully about a few people, and laughed and scolded angrily.
In view of the greed of the Ma army, the infantry and garrison generals complained.
"That's it, we want it too."
"There is a shortage of horses everywhere, you are so greedy."
"All the war horses are given to the horse army, how to train the reserve army?"
Li Kui, Su Sheng, Yu Tai, shouted loudly, but was directly suppressed by Lu Zhishen's lion roar. Xu Ning and Lin Chong also laughed and joined the crusade.
There are only a few commanders of the main war horse army, where can I say it? Defeat and retreat.
"Brothers, be silent!" Chao Gai hurriedly stopped the quarrel.
As soon as he spoke, the originally noisy Gathering Hall quickly fell silent.
"Five battalions of horse corps were formed, and more than 3,500 military horses were left, and 3,000 were evenly distributed among the infantry battalions to form a commanding cavalry team."
"Hahaha, brother... Wise! Ma Jin laughed, but found that the master looked at him and stopped laughing, and couldn't help but shrink his neck.
Chao Gai just glanced at him and ignored it, and continued to give orders: "There are more than 500 good horses left, and more than 2,000 bad horses are used for the training of the reserve army. The other battalions of sailors reported on their own boats. ”
Han Shizhong saw Chao Gai's eyes, got up and reported: "Brother, this time I bought back 2,000 passenger boats from Bianliang City, and 23 passenger boats, 1,000 ......."
With Po Han Wu taking the lead and making it very clear, the other sailors got up after taking the lead and made a count of the number of ships they originally had.
"The first battalion has three passenger boats of 2,000 materials and five ships of 1,000 materials......"
"The second battalion has two passenger boats of 2,000 materials, and ...... of 1,000 materials."
The number of ships of the Chao family's navy made Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong and others dumbfounded. There are dozens or hundreds of warships at every turn, and the carrying capacity is less than 30,000 or 50,000 materials.
Du Qian was even more shocked and embarrassed, and he also reported it to himself. Wang Dingliu, the last commander of the light pole, wanted to get up and was stopped by Chao Gai with a smile: "Hehehe, brother sit down and sit down, and immediately match you with a boat and people." ”
Wu Yong has already counted the number of ships, and all kinds of ships are clear at a glance.
There were 32 passenger ships of 2,000 materials and more than 70 warships of 1,000 materials. There are 150 4,700 saury boats, 3,500 100 boats, and more than 1,000 large and small boats.
There are so many ships, there are enough naval ships!
Chao Gai put down the report in his hand, and after pondering for a while, he decisively ordered: "Inform the dock to stop building small and medium-sized ships from now on, and all ships with thousands of materials will be built." Buying logs at a high price and hiring skilled craftsmen. ”
"In addition, the fifth battalion of the navy has ten passenger boats of 2,000 materials and ten ships of 1,000 materials. Twenty passenger boats and sixty thousand ships were divided equally among the four naval armies. The rest of the ships, large and small, were all handed over to the garrison's two water battalions. The two garrison armies were just established, and the others must fully cooperate with the army. ”
"Yes, we will obey the order!" Many generals of the navy stood up one after another.
"The bed crossbow is preferentially equipped with the fifth battalion of the navy. Iron armor, strong bows are distributed according to the actual situation. Divine arm bow, more than eighty percent of the infantry of each battalion is allocated ......"
Xiao Jiasui picked up the brush and brushed it a little bit, quickly recording Chao Gai's commands. No one has an opinion that the fifth battalion of the navy should be equipped with bed crossbows first, because this special battalion was given a special mission as early as the beginning of its establishment.
When the spring flowers bloom, they will set sail to the sea.
But as soon as the three words of the divine arm bow appeared, several cavalry commanders bared their teeth and grinned, with a constipated expression. But their cavalry could not use the weapon of murder.
The commanders of the infantry of each battalion smiled when they heard this, and they were both cavalry and divine arms, and as long as they were trained for a period of time, their combat effectiveness would definitely surpass that of the regular army.
"By the way, Master Lu, Sect Leader Lin, Teacher Xu, I will send personal guards to assist, and the operation and use of the Divine Arm Bow still require a lot of attention from the three of you."
"Hahaha, brother don't worry, if you have it, you will definitely use it." Lu Zhishen patted his chest and assured, Lin Chong and Xu Ning got up at the same time to receive the order: "Brother, don't worry, in three or two months, everyone will use it to fix your face." ”
"Good! There are three people to help, and there is a lot less to worry about. Chao Gai looked up to the sky and laughed. waved at everyone: "Come on, come on, everyone eat and drink well." ”
"Let's go, go with the Sprinkle family to pay respects to my brother."
Master Lu stood up, hugged the wine jar, and beckoned everyone to flock to Chao Gai. Li Kui, Su Sheng, and Yu Tai followed one after another.
In the blink of an eye, the black in front of Chao Gai pressed a group of people.
Where does he dare to show weakness? led Han Shizhong, Guo Sheng, Lu Fang and others to pounce. Everyone is pushing the cup and changing the lamp, talking and laughing, and shouting.
Of course, if it's a reunion dinner, it's not just this group of reckless men. The door was pushed open, and Sanruan's mother and daughter-in-law, Lin Chong's pregnant woman Zhang Jiaotou's family, Xu Ning's wife and children, Ma Lao's father, Li Kui's wife and other family members came one after another.
Even Chao Gai's two ladies came, and everyone sang and saluted. The laughter in the hall was very hot, and it had never been seen before!
Blowing and farting in twos and threes, women get together to talk about family life, and the gamblers who have been holding back for a long time have been fighting and drinking until late at night, and then they disperse!
The next day, Chao Gai's military order was posted in writing in Liangshan. All of the soldiers who performed well were promoted to the rank and reported to the whole army.
The commanders of the navy began to allocate ships and select soldiers from the reserves. The horse army began to distribute horses and select reserve soldiers, and the infantry was in the best situation, with sufficient supplies and more than enough, and they were busy changing clothes and training.
The three armies of horses, infantry, and water, plus the garrison, entered the training or recruitment. Wen Huanzhang, as a military advisor and manager of Liangshan, took office with his assistant. According to the actual situation, plan the construction of houses, open workshops, etc.
Wu Yong, Xiao Jiasui returned to Chaojiazhuang to sit down.
A resourceful, good at government affairs, and able to ponder people.
After the other emperor, he was deeply versed in the art of war and strategy, commanding the defense of the guards.
Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian have been tempered for several months and are very handy in handling government affairs. The main businesses of Chaojiazhuang are well organized.
Brick kiln factory, refined salt, sugar and other businesses have expanded.
The forge has a money leopard Tang Long, and Master Pu and his two sons have joined. For the sake of the military factory, it is recruiting skilled craftsmen and recruiting young apprentices. Li Qingwan's improved bow and crossbow have also begun to be manufactured in batches.
The restaurant system also has the addition of Zhu Gui in the dry land, and Shi Xiu's burden has been reduced a lot. In addition to business and trading, cooperate with the main combat battalion to deploy troops......
……
Everyone performed their duties, each took care of their own stalls, and in just a few days, they were on the right track.
Chao Gai sees it in his eyes and is happy in his heart, but the disadvantage is that there is not enough manpower. There are fierce generals who can fight well, responsible for logistics, and there is an urgent shortage of auxiliary talents.
The scale of brick kilns, refined salt and other workshops is not large and not obvious.
But the restaurant is this piece! There are more than 300 village shops and restaurants in the city, and there are many affairs.
His two apprentices, Maotou Xing Kong Ming and Candle Mars Kong Liang, are more ruthless than one by one, Yang Lin, the brocade leopard, is not good at management, and the poisonous starling Chen Bao is not this material, so he can only help.
Bai Sheng, this idler has grown up and supported the beam!
And the desperate Saburo Shixiu and the dry land Hulu Zhu Gui were so busy that they flew up, in a word, you go east and I go west, there are many things, and there are almost no people in sight.
The garrison of the restaurant was all transferred or managed by Xiao Jiasui. Han Shizhong, Guo Sheng, Lu Fang, Jian Qi and other generals were all temporarily sent to assist.
These restaurants are the economic lifeblood of Chao Jiajun and are very important.
Chao Gai knew that there were many heroes who opened hotels, so he was ready to join in. Ask a few soldiers, take a stroll on Liang Mountain and enjoy the scenery to come to the back mountain.
From a distance, I saw Lin Chong, the leader of the 800,000 forbidden army, training the reserve army. This man with a leopard's head and eyes, swallow jaws and tiger whiskers has become radiant, and he actively integrates into the busy front and back, as if he has changed a person.
This was the first tragic hero in the original trajectory, and his fate changed because of his existence. When he was reunited with his wife and family, he was no longer sad and angry.
That's a good thing!
Chao Gai smiled and called a soldier to ask Lin Jiaotou.
"Brother, are you looking for me?" After a while, Lin Chong finished explaining and strode over.
"Sect Leader Lin, I'm going to go to the north in the next two days." Chao Gai smiled and nodded.
"Oh, brother, are you going to the Northland to buy horses?" When Lin Chong heard it, he thought of it.
"Passing through Cangzhou to visit Chai Jinchai's officials, would you like to take a trip?"
"Brother invited, dare to disobey?" Lin Chong held his head high and responded sonorously.
"Okay, brother come with me?" Chao Gai smiled.
"Brother, haven't you visited Liangshan? The little brother will take you around. Lin Chong knew that Chao Gai had something to say to himself, so he made a gesture of invitation and led the way in front.
Chao Gai readily agreed, he really didn't get along with this person alone, so naturally he wouldn't miss the opportunity to get closer. The two walked in the forest and talked about the scenery of Liangshan. Ask your family from time to time and tell you some interesting things. Especially when he inadvertently talked about Gao Yanei's castration, Lin Chong looked up to the sky and laughed.
After chatting generally, the two sides got a lot closer!
Chao Gai hesitated for a moment, and then said his purpose: "Brother, the knife ghost Cao in Qingzhou is your apprentice, and Li Xiaoer and his wife in Cangzhou are your friends, can you write a letter to bring them in." ”
Lin Chong was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Hahaha, what's so difficult about this?" Actually, if you don't say it, brother, the younger brother also plans to recommend these two people to join the gang. ”
"That's a coincidence, let's go, let's go back and discuss this matter well." Chao Gai was overjoyed, and pulled Lin Chong back to the Justice Hall hand in hand!
