The recruitment of troops on the Dongzhou side is in full swing, but on the other hand, Zhoushan Island on the other side of the sea is calm and completely ignores.

Su Qi'an, who learned the news, was very calm, and he was right, the opposite side was also resting, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, and once the time was ripe, the third battle would start.

Both sides are now fighting hard, and everyone is waiting for a good moment.

The pirates on Zhoushan Island did not move, and Su Qi was somewhat relaxed, but just in case, he still asked the soldiers who stayed behind to deploy on the coast of Dongzhou and monitor the opposite movement at any time.

And the recruitment in the past few days has achieved great results, and there are two or three thousand people who have passed the first level, even if they are eliminated young people, as long as their height and weight can reach the standard, they will stay.

The checkpoints set up by Su Qi'an are mainly for the purpose of training grassroots officers, so they should naturally be stricter.

And those who are eliminated, as long as their weight and height meet the standard, can also enlist in the army, but one is a grassroots officer and the other is a new recruit.

After the recovery of the battle between the two counties, Su Qi'an's side still suffered a lot of casualties, and it was impossible not to replenish his troops, so he took this opportunity to recruit some new soldiers.

The recruitment of new recruits will last for about half a month, and those who think they have strength and want to challenge themselves to be grassroots officers can sign up.

And some people who think they can't do it and just want to join the army and enlist in the army, the assessment is much simpler, and two registration routes are specially opened, so that they can not delay the time and be informed in advance.

In a flash, 10 days passed in the blink of an eye, and the number of recruits this time has reached tens of thousands, not including those who have participated in the registration of grassroots officers.

The addition of new recruits has somewhat alleviated the problem of the battle between the two counties and the shortage of troops, and Su Qi'an will not have much hope for these recruits.

Even if the third battle starts, most of these recruits will be in the rear, and there will be veterans with them.

For the expedition of the third battle, Su Qi'an already had some considerations in his heart.

The two armies of Dongshan and Split Mountain sent a total of 10,000 troops, and the remaining veterans stayed behind with new recruits to sit in Qingchong County, while the Dongzhou soldiers under Wu Dingguo, after two successive battles, only less than 30,000 of the 50,000 people were left.

Even if the new recruits are expanded, there are more than 40,000 in the full battle, in order to give full play to the maximum strength, 10,000 elites will be transferred, and the rest of the people will be deployed to defend Zuohai and Sanming counties.

Coupled with the 40,000 state soldiers drawn from the rear, although the strength of the rear state soldiers is weak, 10,000 will also be transferred, and the remaining 30,000 will be deployed to defend Haizhou City and other surrounding six counties.

In this way, a total of 30,000 land troops, at the same time, in the first nine counties of Dongzhou, also deployed three lines of defense.

In terms of water divisions, in addition to the 20,000 Dongzhou water divisions, Su Qi'an also asked for reinforcements of 20,000 water divisions like Yuezhou, a total of 40,000.

This time he counterattacked and exterminated the pirates and pirates on Zhoushan Island, sending a total of 70,000 troops.

The scale of 70,000 people is already a very large-scale battle. And that's just the combat soldiers, if you add the logistical arms, as well as all kinds of civilian soldiers.

The scale of this battle will reach a staggering 150,000 people, which can be said to have reached the scale of the battle.

It is also the biggest battle that Su Qi'an has commanded in the past few years.

Dispatching so many people to encircle and suppress a small Zhoushan Island seems to outsiders to be a bit of a fuss, but only by coming into contact with these pirates and knowing the determination of the supporters behind these pirates know that the naval battle of 70,000 people is not much at all.

According to Su Qi'an's estimate, if Yamashita Yong and Sakai Jiro want to keep the important stronghold of Zhoushan Island, the troops dispatched must definitely be about the same as them, at least 60,000 or 70,000 people.

There are about 20,000 people on the island, and the real big head has to be the Fusang royal family behind it.

This battle is not only to determine whether the people of Dongzhou can live a stable life in the future, but also an invisible contest between Daliang and Fusang.

Victory, will make Fusang reconsider the invasion plan and time of Da Liang, if it fails, it is estimated that it will not be long before a full-scale invasion will be launched.

In this battle, you can only win but not lose, and it is also Su Qi'an and Fusang hard

A tough fight.

Looking at the large number of people who had passed the first level one after another in front of him, Su Qi'an nodded with relief, among so many people, Su Qi'an saw a familiar figure.

This person is none other than the first person Su Qi'an to receive a bounty in Zigui County in the rear, Wang Wu

He didn't expect that this Wang Wu would go all the way to the front line to join the army.

Su Qi'an's gaze was fixed, Wang Wu quickly sensed it, he looked in the direction of Su Qi'an, with a look of surprise on his face, he just wanted to run over, but was stopped by Su Qi'an's gaze.

Wang Wu understood that Su Qi'an wanted to avoid suspicion and let him pass the test first.

Wang Wu nodded, clenched his fists, nodded heavily in the direction of Su Qi'an, and slowly moved forward with the flow of people, about half an hour or so, and finally it was Wang Wu's turn.

Although Wang Wu felt frightened in his heart at the rotten and smelly corpse in front of him, and even couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach, thinking of Su Qi'an's expectant gaze at him, the vomit that poured up his throat was swallowed by Wang Wu.

After a while, a voice sounded in Wang Wu's ears. "Zigui Junwang Wu, pass the first level test, and a quarter of an hour later, with the twenty-fifth batch of teams, set off to participate in the second level training month assessment."

Hearing that he had passed the assessment, Wang Wu's face was full of joy, and he almost couldn't help jumping up.

He quickly left the team, his eyes turned, looking for Su Qi'an's figure, but where was Su Qi'an's figure just now.

Wang Wu stood in place, his face was a little lonely, and he thought about it, after all, the other party was a high-ranking supervisor, and he was just a civilian, and it was already pie in the sky to be able to save his life that night and arrange timely treatment.

Where do you still hope to be able to talk to Su Qi'an.

Just as Wang Wu was packing up his mood and preparing to leave, behind him, Su Qi'an's voice sounded softly.

"Hehe, it seems that you haven't found me, and you're a little lost in your heart."

Wang Wumeng turned around, with an excited look on his face, and just wanted to say something, he was signaled by Su Qi'an to be quiet.

After all, this is a public place, and other people are still being assessed, if Wang Wu can't help his emotions because he is excited, and he is attracted to it, it will be a troublesome matter.

Wang Wu nodded again and again, and said in a low voice, "The adult reminded me right, it was the grass people who were excited."

Su Qi'an waved his hand, looked Wang Wu up and down, and said softly, "It seems that your injuries are almost healed, by the way, why do you want to come to the front line to sign up for the army, as soon as you leave, will your family have someone to take care of."

Wang Wu clenched his fists and said, "Go back to your lordship. The villain's injury is almost healed, and thanks to the adult's care for the villain, there is no adult's words. I'm afraid the little one will have to be there that night."

"The little one is a rough man, such a big favor, the little one doesn't know how to repay it, I heard about the adult's recruitment in the rear, the little one thought about it again and again, and decided to go to the front line to join the army, so as to repay the adult's kindness."

"Before leaving, the little one has left enough money and silver, please ask your relatives and friends to take care of the family, it should be no problem."

"These have to be thanked to the adults, without the adult's bounty, the small life would not be so good, and the Houjiu County has been under the rectification of the adult, those officials have been reined in a lot, and there is rarely a phenomenon of bullying men and women in Zigui County now, all of this is thanks to the blessing of the adult."

"Coming to the front line to join the army, in addition to repaying the kindness of the adults, it is also to protect the family and defend the country, these damn pirates have invaded Dongzhou for so many years, and they will have to pay the price after all."

Listening to Wang Wuyi's series of narrations, Su Qi'an nodded slightly, and met with Wang Wu, in addition to understanding his situation, but also to understand the grassroots situation in the latter nine counties.

Only the people at the lowest level can learn the most true situation from their mouths.

And Wang Wu's narration made Su Qi feel more satisfied, after he left, the officials of the Houjiu County City did not make a mistake as before.

The original rectification still achieved good results, of course, for the time being, most of these reined officials are still just waiting and seeing.

If Su Qi'an does not win this battle, it will not be long before the remediated Houjiu County will return to its original form.

Everything still depends on strength to speak, and only by killing all the pirates and pirates on Zhoushan Island can we truly have an absolute deterrent to all the officials in the eighteen counties of Dongzhou.

Su Qi'an looked at Wang Wu, patted him on the shoulder, and encouraged, "Wang Wu, come on, remember what you said, I came to join the army to protect my family and defend the country, not for me personally, I believe that you will be able to pass the grassroots officer assessment, it's not too early, let's go."

Wang Wu's face was excited, he nodded heavily, then turned around, and quickly joined the twenty-fifth batch of teams that passed the first level test, and under the leadership of the instructor, he quickly left the coast of Dongzhou.

Su Qi'an stared, and after a while, in the distance, a soldier quickly ran over and reported with his fists in his fist.

"Lord Hui, the state soldiers of the Houjiu County, together with 50,000 stone grains and grass, have arrived in Qingchong County under the leadership of Dongzhou Mu."

Su Qi'an looked surprised, nodded slightly, and waved his hand to leave.

It took ten days to come to Qingchong County, Su Qi'an was not surprised, after all, it would take a while to prepare 50,000 stone grain and grass and assemble 40,000 state soldiers.

Ten days to be able to prepare for departure and arrive at the front line, this speed is relatively fast, Su Qi'an was surprised that the commander of the state soldiers turned out to be Dongzhou Mu Zhou Zibin.

With his identity, this time the commander can completely appoint anyone else, Su Qi'an thought that it would be someone else who would come, but he didn't expect that the governor of Yizhou would take the initiative to take charge of the command task this time.

If you don't know Zhou Zibin a little bit, if you change to someone else, you will definitely admire him deeply, and they all think that he is an extremely responsible good official.

If this is the case, it is impossible for this Dongzhou to be chaotic for so many years.

For Zhou Zibin, Su Qi'an originally wanted to wait for the war to end and clean him up, but since he was in such a hurry, he took the initiative to go to the front.

Just took advantage of this battle to let his fox tail be completely exposed.
