Chapter 047

"Sentry, do you have land?"

"Yes!"

Zhou Ning, the head of the Ninghai Navy, is the second son of Zhou Yandong, the deputy of Dengzhou Weiyuan, because the military household is hereditary, Zhou Yandong's hereditary hundred household officials, if nothing else, is Zhou Yandong's eldest son, that is, Zhou Ning's eldest brother Zhou An. When Cheng Shijie recruited Ding Bing, he also participated with Zhou Yandong behind his back.

By the time Zhou Yandong found out, Zhou Ning had already been promoted to Xiaoqi because he was decisive in the battle to rob and kill his predecessor Qianhu Gaowang, and because he had a meritorious role in killing Li Dayuan's nursing home.

At this time, Zhou Yandong was promoted by Cheng Shijie to deputy Qianhu, and Zhou Yandong had no reason to object. In this way, Zhou Ning started from Qingjinpu and participated in the battle to exterminate the King of Qin, and successively beheaded six levels.

"How much land do you have?"

"Eighty acres!"

The surrounding Ning Navy officers looked surprised: "Sentry Commander, so you beheaded the eighth level?" ”

"That's right!"

Zhou Ning said proudly: "This sentry commander tells you, this is on the battlefield, you must not be cowardly, the more cowardly, the more afraid, the faster you will die!" ”

Several soldiers were ready to move, and in their eyes, Zhen Sanshan and the bandits under his command were silver for nothing, and they were also the hope of life.

Cut off a head, that's ten acres of land.

Unconsciously, Ning Haijun's momentum changed. Whether it is a recruit or a veteran, the eyes are red, everyone wants a house, and they want land. The officers and men of the Ning Navy do not have separate housing now, but those veterans of the Ning Navy, that is, Cheng Shijie's original 400 family soldiers, they all own houses.

Cheng Shijie built the house for them in the Ning Navy, each of them is three main houses, two rooms on the left and right, a total of five houses, although the use of red bricks and red tiles, not as strong as the blue bricks and gray tiles of the house, but these houses are free.

What's more important is that they participate in the Ning Navy and have a military salary every month, but the military salary is not much, only one or two silver per month, the captain is one or two or two silver, and the sentry commander level is one or two or eight silver.

Even if it is a sentry commander, ten acres of wasteland can be allocated for the first level of decapitation. Although it is wasteland, but not everyone can reclaim it, ordinary people want to reclaim the wasteland without an owner, and no one will take care of it, but when the wasteland becomes a mature field, there will be gentry and Haoqiang, holding the title deed, telling you that this is their ancestral land.

In a lawsuit, others are also in charge, and they can only consider themselves unlucky. The people are afraid of the pit, and even if they encounter wasteland, they are not willing to reclaim it, because reclamation is to make wedding clothes for others and be laborers.

This point, in fact, is similar to that of later generations, although there is also wasteland, you go to build a house or try to farm, you will know the result. Even the groundwater belongs to the state, and digging a well to get water without permission really has a crime, which is called the crime of stealing state minerals.

However, the wasteland endorsed by Cheng Shi's masterpiece can be reclaimed after the land is reclaimed and can get the title deed and become your real property.

The ranks of the Ning Navy appeared on the official road, one after another, neat and well-equipped, because the officers and men of the Ning Navy each had a waist knife and a spear or spear, but at the moment there were not many crossbows and firearms, and there were three old-fashioned artillery.

This kind of artillery is actually a tiger squat cannon invented by Qi Jiguang, with four legs, the first two legs are slightly higher, and the back two legs are slightly lower, which looks like a lying tiger, also called a tiger squat cannon.

The Tiger Squat Cannon is similar to the bowl mouth gun, both of which fire scattered bullets, and the range is extremely close, and it can only cause damage to the enemy within about 300 paces, and for permanent targets, such as city walls, it is not very lethal, even if you just pile a few sacks and fill them with sand or mud in the sacks, you can be safe and sound.

Cheng Shijie rode a horse, and most of the horses captured from Qin Wu were mules or crossbows, and they could not be used as war horses, so Ning Haijun only had two sentinels that were cavalry, saying that they were cavalry, and these cavalrymen were just riding horses so that they would not fall off, and it was really difficult for them to let their cavalry charge into battle.

However, the speed advantage of the war horse is not comparable to the infantry, so the cavalry of these two posts were released by Cheng Shijie as scouts.

At this time, Cheng Shijie was followed by Chen Guodong, who was riding a black war horse, carrying a four-foot-long special compound bow, carrying a Tang straight knife, a black horse horizontal knife, and a white feather arrow, which was so handsome.

In the Ning Navy, a unit that was extremely short of horses, except for the scouts, Shen Mingyu, and Cheng Shijie, other officers, including Zhang Yu, who was at the same level as Shen Mingyu, did not ride horses, Zhang Yu was qualified, but he couldn't ride.

Chen Guodong can ride a horse and go hand in hand with Cheng Shijie, which is a bit outrageous, but none of the more than 2,000 people up and down feel that there is anything wrong, because he has this ability.

The army is a place of strength,

Chen Guodong used his fists and feet to defeat the fifty sentinels of the Ning Navy in three days in a one-on-one situation, and in a one-on-five situation, he defeated Shen Mingyu, so the officers and men of the Ning Navy acquiesced to Chen Guodong's specialness.

Chen Guodong told Cheng Shijie that he was once a general of the Dongjiang Army, and he was subordinate to Geng Zhongming, because he was not used to seeing the soldiers of the Dengzhou Army killing the people of Liaodong, and had a conflict with the Dengzhou Army. But Geng Zhongming handed him over in order to calm things down, and if it weren't for Cheng Shiming's help, he would have died long ago.

Cheng Shijie also thought that he had found a treasure, a commander of the Dongjiang Army, and a fierce general who was killed from the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, Cheng Shijie said at the time that Chen Guodong should be the commander of the Ning Navy, and Shen Mingyu was on the same level.

But he refused, and only offered to be a personal guard.

Cheng Shijie also expressed regret about this.

……

"Childe, run!"

A bloodied escort helped a handsome middle-aged man onto his horse with great difficulty.

The handsome middle-aged man hurriedly said, "I can't ride a horse......"

However, this guard couldn't care so much, and slashed at the horse's buttocks, the war horse was in pain, and rushed forward, and the middle-aged handsome guy was carried by the war horse and ran less than fifty steps, and was thrown off the war horse.

Where has the middle-aged handsome guy encountered this situation: "Oops......"

The dirt road surface that has been trampled on is very hard. The middle-aged handsome guy was in a hurry, protecting his face with his hands, so he left a bloody path of more than ten meters on the ground with his arm.

Although the face was saved, the arms of the handsome middle-aged man were blurred with blood.

The guard couldn't help but cover his face.

After a while, the handsome middle-aged man struggled to his feet. The guard looked at the bandits who were catching up behind him, and used his body to protect the handsome middle-aged man.

The handsome middle-aged guy pushed away the guards around him, and there was no way, and the bandits on the opposite side rushed up to more than two hundred people. He, the guard, couldn't twist a few nails even if he was covered in iron.

"Childe!"

"Gu Shun, step aside!"

The handsome middle-aged man looked at the bandits who were getting closer and closer, his arm hurt more and more, and his face was a little distorted in pain: "Gu Mou has no grievances with you in the past, and there is no enmity in the near future, if you want money, you might as well talk!" ”

The bandits dispersed, and a young man with clear eyebrows but grim eyes walked over. He is the soft persimmon in Cheng Shijie's eyes, in fact, Zhen Sanshan's real name is Zhang Huairen, but his name is obviously wrong. What he did had nothing to do with benevolence.

Unlike most people who can't survive, they can only go into the mountains to become bandits. Zhang Huairen not only did not survive, but was born in a family of eunuchs, his grandfather was Zhang Mengli, the governor of Gansu and the secretary of Dali Temple, and his father was Zhang Sicheng, the deputy envoy of Shanxi. Zhang Huairen was born in the 39th year of Wanli, as a noble son born in a family of eunuchs.

Zhang Huairen doesn't like to read, but he likes to fight and brawl and become a tyrant in Laiyang, because of the fight incident, the Zhang family cleaned up the mess for him. Later, he took a group of family members, occupied the mountain as the king, and was nicknamed Zhensanshan.

However, he is two brands and one set of people. When he was the town of Sanshan, he actually behaved very harmlessly, and the targets of the attack were mainly the passing merchants, if they encountered a caravan escorted by a dart master and an armed man, they were willing to accept the other party's road money, three or five taels of silver were fine, and ten taels of eight taels of silver were also fine.

However, after paying the money to buy the road, he let the other party relax his vigilance, and then he led people to chase and kill all the way, robbing all the goods and goods, leaving no one alive, and he was entrenched in this area from the first year of Chongzhen, and he did not attract the attention of the government for more than four years.

"Gu Gongzi, how much money do you want to buy your life?"

Zhang Huairen showed his big white teeth.

Gu Shizhang's face became extremely miserable. Zhang Huairen's teeth are very white, which shows that his living conditions are superior, and he is definitely not from a poor family.

"Why bother to deceive Gu, no matter how much money Gu makes, you won't spare Gu!"

Gu Shizhang closed his mouth and just wanted to die quickly.

However, it was at this time that the sound of horses' hooves sounded.

Zhang Huairen's face changed greatly.

He followed the prestige, and saw that a team of horses appeared behind him, and although the number of the horse team was small, it was well-equipped, and these horse teams had already dismounted and lined up.

However, due north, a huge army appeared, compared to Zhang Huairen's more than 200 bandits, the Ning Navy of more than 2,000 horses, naturally considered huge.

"The wind is tight, pull it!"

Zhang Huairen didn't even have the interest of slashing Gu Shizhang, and directly ordered a retreat, it didn't matter if Gu Shizhang died or not, the key was that he was in big trouble.

The bandits ran away, and they no longer had any nostalgia.

Zhang Huairen casually untied his money bag and threw the loose silver inside on the ground.

"Quick, throw away the valuables!"

Zhang Huairen has not encountered the encirclement and suppression of the official army, relying on this small trick, he can escape calmly.

However, the problem was that the army he encountered was too strange, not only was it in a tight formation, but it was as immobile as a mountain, dumb and silent, and the more the dog bites, the more it does not bark.

Sure enough, when Zhang Huairen led the bandits to the eastern hills, the army finally moved, but no one picked up the copper coins and silver scattered on the ground.

In the eyes of the admiral officer Zhongning, these silver and copper coins are a fart. The bandits' heads are valuable, not to mention, during this training, the Ning Navy did not train combat skills, as well as attack and defense drills, but only trained them to carry out orders.

If they don't obey the order, they will be expelled, and once they are cleared, they and their families will also be expelled from Ninghai City, which is a fatal thing.

The more he ran, the more Zhang Huairen's heart sank.

An army that doesn't love money, it seems that there is one, but it only exists in historical records.

"Big trouble!"

Zhang Huairen guessed very correctly, the army behind him was running too fast.

"Flutter, flutter!"

The sound of knives and guns penetrating flesh and screams came from behind him.
