Bang, bang, bang, bang............

The sound of sticks hitting the flesh, mixed with screams, screams, roars, and howls shook the whole barracks inside and outside. As long as you are familiar with the rules of the army, you know that this is a spanking with a military stick.

The soldiers of the Green Battalion today were all frightened, and when they stood with knives and guns, their calves and stomachs were turning, and no one expected that the new young commander would be so majestic.

Five military attachés who were usually majestic, walked with their stomachs upright, and played with eighty pounds of stone locks, were rushed into the house by the entourage of the young commander, and the eagles grabbed chickens and carried them to the square where the green battalion was training, and they held them down, pulled out their clothes and trousers, and howled like killing pigs with a thick wooden stick.

"When I asked, each of the five lieutenants received five hundred taels of silver last night, saying that they wanted them to kill the majesty of the new commander. ”

Hong Yi sat behind the case in the middle of the barracks, listened to Chi Chaiyang come in and tell himself about the interrogation.

"Is that so? Sure enough, there are people in my army who are making trouble. Five hundred taels for one person, two thousand five taels for five people, and two thousand five hundred taels of silver are sent out, just to kill my prestige, and I can't let the selfless command of the army be so big. Hong Yi bit his lip and thought about it, "Did you ask who sent it?"

"Not really, but they say they are merchants who deliver meat and vegetables in the army. Chi Chaiyang grabbed a rebar knife with his slender fingers, and he was dressed in silver gray sè "Silver Shark Armor" to set off his heroic posture, just like a merry swordsman who came and went without a trace, and recently his martial arts have made great progress, and his temperament has also changed, and the wild breath on the Yunmeng grassland has also been restrained and sharpened, and he seems to have a bookish anger: "Some merchants in the Jing Navy who supply fresh meat and vegetables every day are most of them merchants from the Taichang, and the merchants of the Taichang are the Daluo faction, several major families in the seven southern provinces. ”

"The hands of the Da Luo faction have been extended to the army, and it seems that we will have to be more careful in the future. Hong Yi stood up, "Let's go, let's go out to lecture, this battalion has five hundred people, I have to integrate him into an iron plate in a short period of time, otherwise, if the war starts, I will have to suffer, from the news from Hua Langying and Hua Langyue, the Jing Navy is likely to launch a large army to exterminate dozens of pirates entrenched in ** bend within a month." ”

**Bend is the most mysterious water area in the South China Sea, with a radius of thousands of miles, larger than a province in Daqian, which is dotted with countless islands, turbulent ocean currents, complex terrain, and sometimes foggy and windy.

Because of this situation, ** bend has always been a good place for fierce pirates to hide.

What's even more terrifying is that there are countless islands in the depths of the legend ** bend, and there are fierce sea beasts and even monsters hidden in the whirlpool. However, there are some secret places, and it is also said that there are immortal medicines, caves where ancient immortals cultivated.

In short, this place is a mysterious place where legends of gods, monsters, pirates, monsters, elixirs, etc. are endless.

More importantly, ** bend is not far from the South China Sea, and the ship will arrive by sea for two or three days, and pirates hide in it, and it is easy to come to the land to rob.

After the robbery, the ship hid in the ** bend, even if it was an army of tens of millions, there was nothing to do.

Last night, Hong Yi had already taken a cursory look at the secret sea charts of the silver merchants, including the map of ** million, the terrain in it is so complicated, not to mention that all the 100,000 Jing Navy drove in, even if a million troops drove in, it would be difficult to play any role.

On the training square of the green battalion, the entire battalion of hundreds of people had all arrived at the square and stood up, but Hong Yi looked at it and frowned.

It turned out that this group of soldiers stood in a crooked and slanted posture, like earthworms, and there were vegetables on their faces, and their middle qi was not enough, at best, they were slightly better than ordinary strong men.

Hong Yi was used to seeing the jīng soldiers, and now looking at this group of soldiers, four words "rabble" surged in his heart.

"How many people are there?" Hong Yi held down the "Shark Slashing" sword and walked in front of these soldiers, his eyes swept away, and his heart couldn't help but churn with comfort.

"This is my soldier, my subordinates? I think a year ago I was in the mansion of Marquis Wuwen, penniless, and I didn't even have a servant by my side, but now I have a unique skill, a hundred thousand in my waist, and I have innate masters, martial artists, and samurai around me, and I have become a dignified commander, commanding hundreds of people. However, compared with the Zhao family and the Hou Mansion, these things are not worth mentioning....I still have to work hard to expand my power and enhance my own strength! One day, with the majestic momentum, I will stand in front of Hong Xuanji and the Zhao family and seek justice for my mother!" Hong Yi took two steps before he settled down.

"Report, a total of three hundred and thirty-six people, the soldiers and horses of the green battalion, all of them are here!" Just as Hong Yi was walking and asking, a leading Wu Chang Xiaobing looked at the five heads who were lying on the bench in the middle of the battle, and then looked at the three black harrier brothers with neat armor and vicious looks around Hong Yi, and the five elders of Baiyun, with the same expression on their faces, stepped forward.

"A battalion of soldiers and horses, at least five hundred people, how come there are only three hundred and thirty-six?

"Report, the rest are empty. The soldier plucked up his courage and said.

"Empty?" Hong Yi heard the word, thought for a moment, and then understood.

Originally, there were 500 soldiers in a battalion, and the military salary of the military department had to be paid according to 500 people, but in fact, in some battalions, there were no 500 people, and those surplus head salaries were called "vacancies," and these "vacancies" were often monopolized by the officers.

This situation is also a major malpractice in the armed forces of all dynasties, and there is no way to eradicate it at all.

Hong Yi read the notes, some great generals in the previous dynasty only had 70,000 or 80,000 people under their command, but they made a list for the imperial court, saying that there were 100,000 people. One person swallows the "empty quota" of 20,000 people.

"There are millions of troops in the Daqian Dynasty, and I don't know how many vacancies..."Hong Yi led the troops for the first time, and finally learned something.

"What's your name?" Hong Yi looked at this soldier who was wearing a yellowish and loose cowhide armor, with a wrought iron knife on his waist, with average equipment, but he was full of energy, and the tight and strong muscles in the uniform were propped up, and his expression was calm, calm and unchanged, but he was a talent.

"My name is Yang Yingming, and I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. Yang Yingming, the commander of this little soldier, shouted loudly and reported his resume: "I practice the thirteen potentials of fighting boxing." Lieutenant General Wutang Assessment, Samurai Rank!"

"Doufist Sect was a martial arts sect in the south back then, and it was later destroyed by the Da Luo faction. "Chi Chaiyang said to Hong Yi.

"Hmm, since you say that the martial arts assessment is at the level of a samurai in the army, it should be at least a capital head, why is it still a military commander?" Hong Yi raised his eyes.

"These five leaders are all cronies of the former commander Lord Wang, and I can't make it to the list. Yang Yingming is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Oh. Hong Yi nodded: "Look at you, you are also a scheming person, knowing that the new official has three fires in office, and he will please me in front of me." Okay, I'll give you a chance, you can talk about the general situation of the green camp, and make it clear in a few sentences, and if you say it well, I will promote you to be the head. ”

When a new official takes office, there will always be those who stumble, those who show off their talents in order to be appreciated and promoted, and those who secretly make stumbling blocks to prevent the new officials from going smoothly. There will be all kinds of things, Hong Yi saw this posture, and knew that this Yang Yingming had a little ability, but he had been suppressed, and now he took this opportunity to show himself.

"Your Excellency. Yang Yingming raised his head and glanced at Hong Yi in surprise, but he didn't expect this young commander to see it so thoroughly.

"Our Green Battalion is not the jīng Rui of the Jing Navy, it can only be regarded as a second-rate soldier and horse, there are thirty small boats, a twenty-person rowing official boat, cāo practice every three days, and one meat ,.... every seven days" This Yang Yingming said quickly, in a few words, and really explained the situation of the green camp clearly.

Hong Yi asked him about the situation of the Jing Navy again, and this Yang Yingming was able to answer it, which made Hong Yi know a lot of information about the Jing Navy.

"Okay!" After asking, Hong Yi nodded at him and said, "From now on, you are the head of the hundred people of the Green Camp." ”

Then Hong Yi waved his hand, "Lift it up." ”

Under the gaze of many soldiers, Shen Tiezhu commanded a few personal soldiers, carried a huge copper nail box in, and suddenly put it on the ground, as soon as it was opened, the silver money spent in vain immediately cost the eyes of more than 300 soldiers present.

"Ah, a lot of silver cakes. ”

"These are all Yujing coins, full of silver. Two for three of our southern money. ”

....................................................................................

"You all listen, I'm from Yujing, and I'm here to compete for military merit in the Jing Navy and become an official. You are under my command, you are practicing at night, and you are brave enough to kill the enemy, and naturally your benefits are indispensable! Today I have made a rule, even if you die in battle, the affairs of your family will be handled by me!"

Hong Yi grabbed a handful of silver coins and threw them in the box, and the boxes of silver coins collided, making a crisp sound that tickled the heart. The soldiers present were so motivated that blood poured into their faces.

"From today onwards, you will practice every three times, and you will be in charge of meat. Eat well, eat well!"

As soon as Hong Yi finished saying this, the more than 300 soldiers present cheered violently. You must know that the first-class soldiers and horses of the Jing Navy, as well as the core jīng rui, can eat meat at once, while soldiers like the Green Battalion can only eat meat with three rì and one cāo practice, and seven rì can eat meat. If you don't eat meat and practice hard, your body will be sick.

As soon as Hong Yi raised his hand, these soldiers immediately fell silent, their eyes looking at his gesture.

"The new official took office with three fires. Hong Yi took two more steps, "I, the commander, have just taken office, and naturally I want to burn the fire, these five heads, accept people's money, and embarrass me, I will show them Yan Sè! From now on, whoever is embarrassed with me and does not obey my orders, I will want his life!"

These murderous words came out of Hong Yi's mouth, and the hearts of the three hundred and thirty-six soldiers were violently raised.

"Send this money down! as their reward! Two silver coins per person! Press your money bags!" Hong Yi waved his hand and pointed at Yang Yingming.

"Yes!" Yang Yingming pressed the iron knife and roared.

Seeing that the real silver money was about to be issued, these soldiers were also arrogant, and their momentum increased to the extreme.

Hong Yi took advantage of this momentum and shouted: "These are just small meanings! Wait for you to practice with me, make meritorious contributions, and kill the enemy." Swords and armor, gold and silver rewards, all of them! I don't feel sorry for money, and you don't feel sorry for your life!"

"Serve the adults, don't feel sorry!" Yang Yingming took the lead and roared again, and then the soldiers of the battalion all roared, all of them straight.

"Tie Zhu, you will be the head of the martial arts of their cāo practice in the future, and Lao Zhang, the five of you, take care of the accounts, manage the logistics, and purchase meat and vegetables by yourself every rì. ”

Hong Yi sat back in the position of the commander of the barracks, appointed a new capital head, pressed down the original five capital heads, and then wrote an abridgement and reported it to the army.

By the time all this is done, it will be evening.

After resting for a while, Hong Yi came to the mountain behind the barracks, and looked from afar, only to see a bright moon rising from the sea, shining the entire sea surface with silver scales, indescribably beautiful.

"Brother Hong, I didn't expect you to inspire the soldiers, but you really have a means to train the soldiers!" Seeing Hong Yi admiring the moon on the seaside, Chi Chaiyang was behind him, holding the "Guanhong Bow" against the bright moon rising from the sea.

"Since I was a child, I have excerpted some military training outlines from some notes, and I have thought about it carefully, thinking that there will be such a day. Hong Yi looked at Yue Sè, smiled leisurely, sat cross-legged under the rocks in the mountains, looked at the undulating waves of the cliffs below the mountain, and was silently distracted.

The location of the Green Camp is on the edge of the Jinghai Naval Camp, guarding a coastline ten miles long.

"Brother Chi, protect me! I yīn god out of the shell, go into the water to explore. ”

Hong Yi looked at the moon on the sea, and suddenly became interested, closed his eyes and sat silently, and the god yīn came out of his shell and flew straight towards the sea below the cliff.

"Dao art is really a supernatural change, but now that I practice martial arts, I have a tendency to integrate spirit and flesh, but it is not suitable to practice Dao art again. Chi Chaiyang saw Hong Yi sit down, a gust of yīn wind blew above his head, the moonlight condensed in the yīn wind, and a subtle light man boiled to the sea, and the shadow disappeared in an instant, and he couldn't help but admire the wonder of Taoism.

Flutter!

As soon as Hong Yi flew into the seawater, he felt tightened on all sides, and the whole person seemed to be stuck in the gelatin, and it was slightly difficult to move.

Thankfully, though, the god yīn is in the water, and in addition to being slightly more difficult to move, it doesn't need to breathe like the physical body.

Although it was pitch black in the water, the god yīn was not afraid of the dark, and the darker it was, the clearer he could see.

The surrounding sea water is like crystal, swimming fish, algae, lobsters, sea crabs, shells, large conch and other things, all wandering and floating in the underwater water, the scenery is beautiful, ten times more beautiful than any scenery on land, a hundred times!

"It's really beautiful, Crystal Palace..."Hong Yiyun used the power of his soul, gradually moved forward, and saw the scenery at the bottom of the sea, and his heart sent out a heartfelt admiration.

After traveling more than ten miles into the sea, it was far away from the shore, and the scenery became more and more beautiful, and Hong Yi even saw that among the dozens of feet of the seabed, among the colorful corals, there were some shipwrecks, bones, porcelain, and even rusted swords.

He knew that it was a ship that had encountered wind and waves for many years.

The further you go, the greater the resistance, and the yīn god gradually has a tendency to be squeezed by the sea and move forward with difficulty.

Hong Yi didn't care, his heart moved.

"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva!"

This mighty Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva, originally to "power" to dominate, after cultivation, the power of the soul is infinite, but it is different from the Buddha, in the past, the Buddha Sutra, is to keep the soul immortal, this xìng does not sleep, for the power of the soul, there is no outstanding merit.

Carrying up the Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva Concept, the powerful Bodhisattva existed in his thoughts, Hong Yi suddenly felt infinitely powerful, split the sea water in one fell swoop, and continued to move forward!

Hong Yi used this Dao magic power, and while cultivating, he moved forward and wandered.

Suddenly, a flute sound, coming from nowhere, entered his thoughts.
