Volume 1 Rising in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 37 Returning to Moon Swallowing Island

Early the next morning, the camp of Team C began to get busy! The kitchen prepared the meal early, and everyone finished it in a hurry.

The cooks put away the pots and pans, and even the huge iron pot was shoveled out of the pots. In the end, under the promotion of everyone, he got on the big ship directly under him.

All the miscellaneous servants who were going to be taken away got on the captured Wanli Gang warship, which was named Wanli by Chen Zuyi. The members of the C team all boarded the C warship with the salute package.

Several of the guards waiting for Chen Zuyi were led by captain Wang Yi to help Hua Haier move her boxes, and everyone had already boarded the ship. The gang leader Black Shark took the five captains to the Shuizhai Pier to see them off, although the distance is not far, the necessary sense of ritual is still there! .

Chen Mancang was sandwiched between several people, a little reluctant and frightened. After all, he and his cousin have never been separated since they went to sea, and this time they had to be separated temporarily. Fortunately, Yi Tsai left Meng Chengbi to him before leaving, and temporarily helped him take care of the affairs of his team. Wait until he is familiar with the affairs of the team before going to Swallow Moon Island.

An hour later, three large ships sailed into the gate of the Water Village of Swallowing Moon Island. As a result of the last battle on the pier, the gate of the water village was bombarded by artillery and tattered. It had to be repaired during this time, and the pier was made of stones.

When they arrived, a group of men were left on board, and the cooks and handymen disembarked with salutes. Led by a small team of people went to the residential quarters. Since it has only been half a month, the house is still intact, but a layer of dust has fallen.

The things in the room are also relatively messy, and all the people who can use them have been moved by the Wanli Gang, except for large items such as beds and cabinets, which have not been moved, but they have also been pushed around.

Fortunately, Father Meng was there, and he commanded everyone to clean and tidy the room one by one, so that the soldiers of the C team moved in. Then he cleaned up the room where he and the sailors lived. The cooks moved the guys into the big kitchen of the original Yuan Shi Tang, but fortunately it was not too messy here, and they could continue to prepare lunch after a few casual strokes.

After everyone settled down and finished lunch, Chen Zuyi began to arrange daily duty and drills. Of the three squadrons, one squadron must be assigned to patrol and guard every day, and the remaining two squadrons continue to practice. Today is the beginning of the first squadron, to the next morning at 7 o'clock in the morning (7 o'clock in the morning) to change the shift, the squadron must be fully armed, both spears, swords, bows and arrows must be brought together, wear leather armor, no special things are allowed to take off the armor.

After everything is arranged, Chen Zuyi is going to go back to see how Hua Haier has cleaned up, and he will officially start training tomorrow, and he will have nothing to do.

When I walked back with the guards, when I passed by the original Mengyuan Hall, which had been burned to pieces, I suddenly felt that it was awkward to pile these things in this place. So he called Daddy Meng, pointed to the ruins and said, "Boss Meng, I want to trouble you to find some people tomorrow to clean up this place, this is too much of an eyesore!" ”

"Captain Chen rest assured, Xiao Lao'er will arrange for people to come over early tomorrow morning. In addition, I'm afraid our people alone won't be able to repair the Shuizhai Gate! I haven't done it after all! ”

"The water village gate is not to worry about the old man, and there are sailors and boatmen to repair it. All you need to do is take care of the houses and acres on the island! ”

Although this Tunyue Island is not big, there is also a piece of water, at this time it is close to the end of the year, there is nothing left, and you can sprinkle rice seeds for seedlings in a few months. Nanyang is different from the Ming Dynasty, where rice is harvested three times a year, and one season can be harvested in more than three months. So as long as there is fresh water and arable land here, you will never be hungry!

When he returned to the courtyard where Wu Lu lived, Hua Haier and the maid Xing'er had already cleaned up the room properly. Seeing that Chen Zuyi was back, Hua Haier pointed to the hall ostentatiously and said:

"Look, I finally found these official hat chairs, and they are all for you to worship!" He pulled Chen Zuyi to look at the calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall next to him, "I saw this painting!" This is a painting that my father snatched a few years ago, Zhao Fu of the Song Dynasty! It is said that he is good at mountains and rivers, and he is especially successful in the turbulent trend of the river. It's Daddy's favorite! ”

Hua Hai'er said and spoke, her expression darkened again, and her shining eyes looked at Chen Zuyi, "Daddy died in battle, now I only have you, Brother Yi!" You... Don't leave me alone, okay? ”

"Stinky girl! Do you want me to do it? Chen Zuyi pretended to be angry and patted Hua Haier's head.

"Nasty! Dislike! Mess up people's hair! Hua Haier instantly shook off her sadness and pinched Chen Zuyi's body indiscriminately.

"Oops! No ...... like that."

The two of them wanted to pinch and hide, and played around the chair and table in the living room. The little girl Xing'er bit the handkerchief and cheered for the young lady with a smile next to her.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, the soldiers of the C team began their morning exercises, shirtless, shouting slogans, practicing spear stabbing and knife wielding. The sailor's gate was arranged to cut wood and quarry to repair the wall and gate of the water wall, and everyone was busy coming and going, a vibrant scene.

Father Meng also got up early today, and he still had a bunch of things to arrange, and it was estimated that it would take four or five days to clean up the huge ruins of Mengyuan Hall not far away. There are also some barren paddy fields that will be re-cultivated, and when they are ready, it will be time to plant crops.

The most important thing is the boys, the C-shaped team now has a total of sixty-eight boys and girls and those brought by land. Originally, his son Meng Chengbi was in charge, but now his son is staying in Lombok, and he can only temporarily manage and take care of him, and he has to educate literacy every day. But Daddy Meng was busy flying, but he was also enjoying it, probably this is the satisfaction of being needed!

Jia Tao is in charge of the cleaning of the main hall, since he and his son Jia Maochen were held hostage by the Black Shark Gang pirates, his son Jia Maochen has been a pirate on the ship.

After returning to Lombok, he was despised by everyone, but after a month, the situation changed, and many people began to envy him, and then many people joined the direct team, and his son repeatedly sent back trophies, which made him more prominent in the village.

Before coming to Moon Swallowing Island, his son was promoted to squad leader, and he managed the number 30 people, making him a minor nobleman among the pirate family. He is very grateful to Chen Zuyi, and his current life is something he can't even think of in Daming! Therefore, whenever the C team has a task, he always takes the lead and never lazy.

At the age when he was only in his forties now, it was the age of strength, and he was taking the lead in carrying out a huge half-burnt beam one by one, dressed in a coarse cloth and beaten short.

By the fourth day, there was not much left of the ruins of the main hall, and in two days, it would be cleared. Jia Tao followed the group of people while talking and laughing and laboriously carrying away the last giant beam. There was a sudden exclamation from the people around him.

"What's that?"

"Isn't it gold?"

"So much? We're rich! ”

……

Jia Tao hurriedly looked over there, and there were a bunch of broken iron boxes, and large girdle gold bricks were scattered from the boxes. The crowd rushed up to scramble for the gold.

"Stop! Put down the gold all! A burst of cheers made everyone stop their movements and look at Jia Tao, who made a sound.

"This gold belongs to Team C! We can't take it privately! You all have children who are soldiers, don't you understand this rule? ”

"Jia Tou, let's divide one of them, and hand over the rest, what do you think?" One of them discerned.

"No! If anyone takes it, your children will be implicated again, and even the soldiers will not have to do it! Think of Team C's abundant combat power! Don't lose it! ”

"This ...... All right! Don't do it, Captain Chen will definitely have a reward for us anyway! ”

When the first man threw down the gold in his hand, the others followed. Jia Tao asked people to keep an eye on the gold, and at the same time asked people to inform the captain.

Soon, Chen Zuyi, who was training together, and Wang Yiji, the captain of the guard, came over. Jia Tao has cleared out all the iron boxes. In total, there were thirty broken iron boxes, most of which were intact, and only nine were smashed. Two hundred pieces of gold per box, fifty taels each, a full three hundred thousand taels

Chen Zuyi was very happy after reading it, praised Jia Tao fiercely, and took out a box of gold as a reward on the spot and distributed it to everyone. A box of gold is 10,000 taels, and when exchanged for silver, it is 100,000 taels.

The people in charge of cleaning up each had at least five hundred taels, and Jia Tao and Father Meng each got one thousand taels. The rest of the people were 100 hundred per person according to their heads, and everyone who came to the moon swallowing moon was rewarded. This made everyone excited, and strengthened their determination to follow Chen Zuyi.

Chen Zuyi asked everyone to carry the gold to the island's treasury and sent a team to guard it. He was about to expand his manpower, and asked Wang Yi to send someone to call Songhai to his residence.

"Boss, what do you command?"

"You go to Brunei, the king city of Boni, we need to recruit another group of soldiers."

"How many more?" Songhai resolutely carried out the captain's orders and never discounted them.

"You know, according to my three-three system, the most basic detachment must guarantee 12 people per team. 27 detachments, nine squad leaders and 3 squadron leaders, a total of 336 people, 189 soldiers, 147 people are still missing. My escort team has expanded to a squad of 37 people, and there are currently 15 people, with a shortage of 22 people. A total of 169 people need to be recruited! You can also recruit 10 to 20 more people as a backup. ”

"Okay, I'm ready to go! I want to bring a squadron just in case! ”

"Wait a minute, if you don't take the recruitment papers, you can still buy them one by one!" Chen Zuyi angrily and funny took out a piece of paper from the table.

"Why do you still have paperwork?! The helper agreed? Songhai asked curiously.

"No! Don't let Lombok know about this! Chen Zuyi didn't say much, so Songhai didn't ask again, he knew that this matter couldn't be leaked out.
