Volume 1 Rising in the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 47 Each has its own preparations

When Chen Mancang returned to the station of his team, Chen Zuyi's escort Jin August was already waiting there, talking to Meng Chengbi. When I saw him come back, I hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Long time no see you in August!"

"Yes, Captain Chen!" The title of Jin August is that when Chen Mancang was the leader of the second squad in the past, he was his soldier.

"Do you have anything to arrange when you came here this time?"

"The boss asked you to prepare, he said that in half a month at most, the three brigades of A, B and Geng will do it against the two teams of Ding and Wu, you must prepare early!"

"Oh?! Is that really what Yi Zai said? ”

"Word for word! And the boss also asked Captain Sang to recruit new people, and even I have to be the team leader this time. ”

"How many people are you going to recruit this time?" Chen Mancang asked in surprise.

Jin August looked outside the door, looked around again, and then lowered his voice and said: "The number of recruits for the 31 squads, the old brothers at the beginning are all captains. ”

"31 is not a small number!" Chen Mancang took a sip of a cup of tea, suddenly froze, and turned his head mechanically, "You said 31 squads?!! ”

"That's right! 31 squads, for a total of 4 squads with the existing 9 squads! Jin August said very clearly.

"That's more than a thousand people!! Zu Yi is going to prepare...... "The rest of the words he Chen Mancang knows, Jin August knows, and Meng Chengbi, who didn't speak next to him, even knows.

"Captain of the full cabin, this time I estimate that I will follow August to Swallowing Moon Island, and the lord asked me to lead the fourth squadron."

"Alas! Well, since my cousin really needs a gentleman, I can't make it difficult for you anymore. ”

"It's just that what should we do with our own team, Mr. doesn't take precautions."

"You continue to lead the team to train, no matter who comes to investigate, you can pretend to be weak, and send two more clever ones, always pay attention to the movements on both sides, if there is really a war, you must send someone to inform Swallowing Moon Island in time, this opportunity is very rare, it's a pity to miss it!"

"Okay, the full cabin must follow the instructions of the gentleman!"

Meng Chengbi shook his head after hearing this, "Everything has to be flexible, and I don't have the ability to predict!" ”

"Good! I know! I found two people to help my husband pack his luggage. ”

"No, I don't have anything to pack, just a few changes of clothes!"

After speaking, Meng Chengbi gave a salute and left.

Let's say that after Sun Yuanzhou and Zheng Pengyi finished drinking, the two came to Sun Yuanzhou's residence together.

"Old Sun, the more I think about this today, the more outrageous it becomes, the strength of his surname Qian is clear to the two of us, how can it be so strong! That's three teams that wiped out five battalions? ”

"It must be Team C! You didn't listen to the guy surnamed Qian, two warships were taken away by the C-shaped team. He Qian Wu braggarts, you also believe it! Sun Yuanzhou said with a smile.

"Smack! Not good! If Team C makes a move, then they know what we're planning! Zheng Pengyi slapped his thigh hard.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous! Lao Zheng, tell me, how can you see that they know about our plan? Sun Yuanzhou's face did not change, and let Zheng Pengyi tell all his inferences.

"What do you think, if they didn't know about our plan, how could they make a move by Zhao Bingzi's team?"

"What if it really happens to happen? Just like the last time the gang leader was in distress on Swallowing Moon Island! ”

"You're saying that Team C happens to be training in the nearby waters, so coincidentally?" Zheng Pengyi asked uncertainly.

"It is very likely that, as far as I know, the C-shaped team has a habit of training at sea all year round. Chen Mancang said it last time, and this time it may be like last time, it is indeed an accident. ”

"But why am I so restless, or let's kill them tonight, I think they will all be brought with them, and their combat effectiveness will definitely decline! Plus you and I have enough troops outside! Zheng Pengyi looked at Sun Yuanzhou expectantly.

"Stupid! It's not as good as the odds of doing it two days ago! What we want is not the position of the gang leader, but the outer hall network of the Black Shark Gang. If you and I force the hand, do you guess that those people in the outer hall will listen to you and me, and the tree will fall and the monkey will be scattered? ”

Sun Yuanzhou's face was helpless, the Black Shark Gang had already been reduced to a third- or fourth-rate maritime power in terms of strength. After all, the dead camel is bigger than the horse, and the Black Shark Gang during the victory period left behind a very hidden network of external contacts.

The information needed by the Black Shark Gang can always be sent in a timely manner, and it is also very convenient for each continent to recruit people and do things. It is said that there is a head hall master in the outer hall, this person is very mysterious, only responsible for the gang leader, if someone else forcibly takes the gang leader position, the outer hall master will dissolve the outer hall and disappear forever!

The outer hall is a huge help that Sun Yuanzhou and Zheng Pengyi coveted, and it is also a fetter for them to tie their hands and feet. They really had the strength to destroy the Black Shark Gang, and the second leader had 500 people and four warships on Julu Island, where the original Liuyun Gang was located. Now that the second boss is dead, everyone has to accept the joint leadership of Sun Yuanzhou and Zheng Pengyi.

"Then if the other party finds out that we are the devil, they will definitely kill you and me and destroy our two brigades!"

Sun Yuanzhou touched his eight-character beard and thought for a long time, "Send people to guard at 12 o'clock every day, if there is any change, we will retreat to Julu Island!" What do you think? ”

Zheng Pengyi didn't say anything more, he said what he should say, since Sun Yuanzhou didn't agree, he had to be careful in the future. Anyway, he has a way to save his life!

The next day, Jin August and Meng Chengbi returned to Swallowing Moon Island on the fast boat that came up.

When they arrived at Swallowing Moon Island, Jin August did not dare to delay, and came to Chen Zuyi's residence with Meng Chengbi. It happened that Chen Zuyi came back from morning exercise, and met him at the door, and hurriedly let people into the living room.

"Zishi, we haven't seen each other for half a year, how is it? Has the self-shaped team on the other side of the full cabin been straightened out? ”

"Back to the lord, fortunately, I helped the captain of the full cabin to control his own team, and the two squadron leaders and the four squad leaders are all our people."

"Good job, I called you back this time, one is to ask you to help me lead the fourth squadron, the team leaders are all old brothers, they all know the rules, it's easier to bring." The second is to arrest the orphans we brought back from the Pengxiang Kingdom to study, although I recently saw your father teaching children to read, after all, he is old and can't take care of many places. Moreover, the ideological education of children must not be left behind. ”

Meng Chengbi heard the meaning of Chen Zuyi's words, although his father was very good at teaching children to read and write, but he was only teaching these. And what Chen Zuyi needs is a team in the future, and these teams must have one characteristic, that is, loyalty!

No matter how talented and capable you are, if you don't have loyalty, the developing Chen Zuyi doesn't need it, but will directly wipe out this guy to avoid him becoming his opponent.

On the third day of Meng Chengbi's return, Songhai also came back with three battle ships, with thousands of newly recruited personnel. In addition to the direct number, the remaining four warships were renamed as C1, C2, C3, and C4, which was simple and clear, which also reflected that Chen Zuyi really did not have the talent to name them.

Four squadrons each have one battleship, so that each ship has three hundred and seventy-one soldiers, although it is not overloaded, but it has also reached the limit of carrying people, after all, the cabin space is limited, and there is no way to accommodate more people!

Quickly assign people, the squad leader is a ready-made candidate, and the squad leader can only choose the group of people who were rescued from the slaves later, and the loyalty of those people is no worse than that of the people of the May Fourth Righteous Alliance. In order to repay their kindness, they fought bravely every time they fought and never flinched!

Fifty-eight people were rescued from the slave camp, and after several battles, forty-seven people were still alive, of which seven were left behind, and Chen Zuyi was assigned to Daddy Meng's village, who usually did what he could, and did not have to do heavy work, without worrying about eating and drinking, and the same welfare as the rest of the soldiers during the New Year's Festival, and a subsidy of ten taels of silver per year. I don't know how comfortable this little day is! The rest of the soldiers were envious, and they wished that they could be crippled, so they fought more and more desperately!

This selection of the team leader was not enough to promote all the forty, and there was no choice but to continue to select eighty people from among the newcomers who had only gone through one naval battle, which barely alleviated the embarrassment of the lack of grassroots leaders.

In addition to bringing back a large amount of food and weapons when he returned to Songhai this time, he also brought back a lot of customized leather armor, which were originally customized by the Sriwijaya army. Due to the current chaos in Sriwijaya, those in the army, from the generals to the hundreds of households, are greedy and greedy, try to get as much money as possible and prepare to run away.

This batch of more than 2,000 pieces of leather armor is like this, blatantly consignment in a weapon store, a piece of ten taels of silver, is simply the price of cabbage! Songhai ate it all and discounted it, and won it for a full 20,000 taels. He also made an agreement with the shopkeeper that if there was another large number of weapons or armor for sale, he would eat all of them, as much as he could!

Leaving a spare contact point in the outer hall, it was also Songhai who was careful, he knew that buying weapons and food would be the norm in the future, so he went to the outer hall contact point first, and gave the person in charge a benefit, and then went to a spare point, and arranged for a few brothers to be brought in, and a person from the outer hall was jointly responsible. It is used exclusively for the purchase of supplies.

This time, regardless of the newcomer or the old, each person is given a set of leather armor first, and he usually does not wear it in his heart, and he will only wear leather armor when preparing for battles and major ceremonies.

As soon as it was sent, everyone tried the size, and then Chen Zuyi gathered everyone in the square to give a lecture, or do the first brainwashing work. After the three-way drum, the chaotic team was sorted out by the squad leader and the detachment leader, and at this speed he was ashamed of the team, who used to be able to assemble with only half a drum!

However, now the soldiers in fiery red armor are neatly rehearsed in rows, and they are also very pleasing to the eye. That's thousands of people, not a little more than the Black Shark Gang!

All that's left is intense training, even if it's only about ten days, as long as the trainees can understand the slogans and use the iron bucket array!
