"We are used to being free and don't want to suffer that hardship."

"It's too long to go to sea, and I can't bear our mother-in-law."

"The child is so big, and it is hard and unprofitable to go to the sea."

"Our children are too young to go to sea."

Outside the courtyard of the farmhouse, the people were gossiping and pouring bitter water on Yang Chengying.

In short, I will not agree to my child becoming a water master.

Zhuang Chang was scared, for fear that Yang Shuai would suddenly turn his face and peek at Yang Shuai's face vigorously.

In fact, Yang Chengying was not angry, but listened carefully, and had mastered their mentality in his heart.

Most of the meaning, it is not impossible to go to sea, once or twice. But when the sailor often has to go to sea to fight, he can't do it, and only the desperate can participate.

As for what angered the Dragon King and the like, it was very personal to think of a few people.

Yang Chengying got up: "I already know what you think. Regarding the monthly salary, we can discuss it again, and I will correct it after I go back to discuss it.

As for the other concerns you have, I can explain.

For example, the eldest brother raised the question of the salary and silver collar, of course, he received it. However, anyone who participates in the sailor and goes to sea with the ship will be paid a one-time monthly salary of three months.

There is also the problem of worrying about the mother-in-law running away with others, and the families of the soldiers have special accommodation.

Whoever dares to bully them is to bully me Yang Chengying and directly throw it into the sea to feed the fish. ”

Later, several issues were explained, and the benefits of opening up the sea frontier began to be publicized.

For example, to protect your own ships transporting cloth and to eliminate possible pirate infestation.

The people did not feel much about the protection of transport vessels.

But to eliminate the pirates, they have first-hand experience.

Before Yang Chengying's rule, Jinzhou was often attacked by pirates from the northwest and southwest.

One by one, they were originally poor ghosts, who relied on the sea for food, and were robbed of food by pirates, and women and children were among the robbers.

The past should not be mentioned again, and every mention of it is blood and tears.

"Yang Shuai wants to expand the sailor, and in the future we will destroy the pirate's lair and avenge the villagers who died before."

Xiao Young said: "If there is no Yang Shuai, can we have a stable life today?" But after only a few days of peace, we forgot about the past! ”

His mother was speechless when he asked.

The same is true of the rest of the people.

"Little brother, what's your name?"

Yang Chengying patted the young man on the shoulder.

"Yan San'er." The young man bowed his head and replied.

"You patiently discuss with your family, if you are willing to join the water master, come to sign up tomorrow morning, and I will personally write you a waist card."

"Really, really?"

"Of course."

After that, Yang Chengying called Geng Zhongming, Wu Sangui and others to get on the horse and leave here.

On the way back, Geng Zhongming said ashamedly: "Yang Shuai, the last general is not as meticulous as you, they don't say it today, I don't know there are so many problems." ”

"Ideological work is a complicated thing, you can take your time."

Yang Chengying changed his words, "However, this also reminds me that most of the people who are assigned to you are from Denglai, and they may have similar thoughts." ”

"After the general returns, he will also do a good job in the 'ideological work' you mentioned."

Geng Zhongming hurriedly said.

"No, as the commander, you should put your mind on fighting naval battles."

Yang Chengying thought thoughtfully, "In this regard, I will find another candidate to be sent to you to do this." ”

"Yes."

Geng Zhongming answered, but he was muttering in his heart, what does Yang Shuai mean, do you want to send another person to restrain me? Or assist me?

It's natural for him to be suspicious. In ancient times and even in later generations, there was no special post, and this post came out later.

It's just that this position is quite demanding, and you must be excellent in military and political affairs to be competent.

Yang Chengying does not have a ready-made suitable candidate on hand, but there is a more suitable candidate to try.

Back at the mansion, Yang Chengying asked Wu Sangui to summon Mo Mazi.

"The last general will meet Yang Shuai." Mo Mazi clasped his fists and saluted.

The swelling on his face had subsided, but he still had a medicated bandage around his head.

I should have been beaten out of the concussion, so my head ached faintly.

As soon as this was mentioned, Yang Chengying became angry, the good man did not die in the hands of the enemy, but was almost killed by his own people.

Or a little thing.

"Mo Mazi, is the fat chicken I gave you stewed to eat?" Yang Chengying asked.

"I've eaten it all early. My mother-in-law felt sorry for me, and the chicken, duck and fish meat had not been broken in those days. ”

"That's your daughter-in-law who loves you."

"Yang Shuai, why don't you bring your wife, how lonely it is to be alone."

Hearing this, Yang Chengying was a little depressed.

What are you doing, Yingniang is taking Xue Niang with her, which makes him all kinds of inconvenience.

Leave her, I miss her again.

Collect, close! Talking about business, what do you want to do?

Yang Chengying coughed lightly twice and said, "I came to you, not to talk to you, but to entrust you with important tasks." ”

Mo Mazi clenched his fists: "The last general Xie Yangshuai cultivated, and he must work hard to make meritorious contributions in the future." ”

"I plan to remove you from General Zu's command and transfer you to General Geng's command to serve as the 'supervising army'."

"Overseer! I? Not suitable, not suitable. ”

Mo Mazi waved his hand again and again: "I don't know a single big word, and I speak clumsy and stupid, which is really inappropriate." ”

Yang Chengying said with a smile: "You can learn if you can't read, as for 'clumsy and stupid', it means that you still work hard." ”

It was exposed in a few words, and Mo Mazi smiled awkwardly.

It turned out that Mo Mazi heard that Yang Shuai had been advocating reading in the north, so he also bought the Analects himself, and asked someone if he didn't understand.

Accumulate a lot, and gradually understand a lot of books.

Yang Chengying said with a straight face: "Listen, my 'prison army' is different from what you think. My prison army has the following major points:

First, supervise the implementation of the commander's intentions by the generals.

Second, it is necessary to lead and do a good job in the ideological work of the soldiers under his command.

Third, it is necessary to carry out military discipline.

Fourth, manage logistics.

Fifth, do a good job in intelligence work, disintegrate the enemy's work, and protect our intelligence. ”

Mo Mazi listened to it and said, "Isn't this all the work that a general should do?" ”

"You are assisting the generals and supervising them at the same time. But you can't clash with him in the open, you know? ”

"Ming, understood."

Looking at Mo Mazi's embarrassed expression, Yang Chengying knew that he definitely didn't understand.

Yang Chengying thought for a while, and then said: "In this way, you wait here for a while, I think someone is coming, you have listened to my conversation with him, and you know the approximately." ”

"Who?"

"Someone you're going to partner with."

Yang Chengying smiled mysteriously.

He sent Wu Sangui to Geng Zhongming, pretending to have inadvertently leaked his mouth, and told Geng Zhongming that he was going to send a prison army to his men.

Geng Zhongming was anxious when he heard this, why didn't anyone else have a prison army, so let me have a prison army alone.

After all, he is not Kong Youde, and he has no impulsive character. But after thinking about it, he finally decided to go to Yang Shuai.
