The happy life of a prodigal

Although Jinzhou Prefecture is near the sea, these troops used to be in charge of suppressing bandits. They suppressed bandits and robbers, and never suppressed pirates.

It is an exaggeration to say that most people may have never seen what the sea looks like, let alone taking a boat.

He had been on a boat once before, and the boat was ups and downs in the sea. If he was not a person who lived at sea all year round, it would be difficult to gain a firm foothold, let alone fight with Haikou.

Fang Xiu heard this, looked at him, and said calmly: "I tell you the truth, there is not even a decent navy in the entire Great Chu, otherwise I would not think about building a new army. A Shenji Battalion is enough This lord is all over the world!"

Although the tone is indifferent, the words are very domineering.

Zhao Rui also couldn't deny that Mr. An Guogong was right, a small part of the Shenji Battalion could repel the grassland tribes, let alone the entire Shenji Battalion.

only......

After all, the situation of the new army was different from that of the Shenji Battalion.

After hesitating for a long time, he still said, "My lord, allow me to think again..."

Fang Xiu nodded and said: "I don't force you, if you really can't accept the navy, it's not impossible to stay on land, but you are now the commander of the army, and when the new army is established, you can only be the commander of the commander.

But if this new navy army can manage well, I will let you be the general! "

When Zhao Rui heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he jumped up in despair.

What Duke An said was not General Zhonglang, but a general, a real general!

What is the concept of a general?

After the captain is the captain, after the captain is the general of the right middle man, after the general of the right middle man is the general of the left middle man, after the general of the left middle man is the general!

It means that he jumped three levels from a small commander to a general directly.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!

However, although he was excited, he remained calm.

He knows that if an opportunity is not grasped, it is tantamount to not having one.

He has no experience in commanding a navy, let alone naval warfare, how can he be qualified for this position?

When he was hesitating, he heard An Guogong say again: "I know your concerns, everything in the world is the most difficult at the beginning, don't say you have no experience as a navy, the whole of Dachu has no experience as a navy.

so what?Why don't you do it?Let pirates and barbarians run rampant?of course not!

Even if it is a navy to be built, it can't even compare to pirates at the beginning, so this navy must be built!

You have no experience, your soldiers have no experience, these are not problems, no one has experience from the beginning, including pirates..."

Speaking of this, Fang Xiu raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhao Rui, and said in a teasing tone: "If it wasn't for the fact that I appeared here, wouldn't you have become a pirate now, wouldn't you be a pirate?

Have you ever been a pirate before? "

Zhao Rui was startled slightly when he heard this, his old face turned red unbearably.

Chapter 34 First Navy Battalion

Yes!

If there was no Duke An, he would have already been driven to a dead end, so what is there to be afraid of?

Zhao Rui stood where he was, with a dazed look on his face.

Fang Xiu stood up, walked forward, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I will give you three days to think about whether you want to join the new army. After three days, I will wait for your reply." .”

After the words fell, Zhao Rui revealed a firm expression, cupped his hands and said: "Mr. An, I have already made a decision. I am willing to join the new army, the leader of the navy!"

Fang Xiu heard this, looked up at him, and asked, "Really?"

Zhao Rui nodded heavily and said, "Really!"

Fang Xiu said: "Okay! I'll tell you the truth, I created this new navy army to deal with the barbarians who came from the west. Before that, you should use pirates to hone your soldiers.

When you feel that the pirates are no longer your opponent, I will let you lead the army to the south! "

When Zhao Rui heard this, his heart was surging, he suppressed the excitement in his heart, cupped his hands and said: "Serve An Guogong, and die in a lowly position!"

Fang Xiu nodded and said, "Go down."

"Yes, my lord!"

Zhao Rui left the mansion, stood on the street, looked up at the sky, feeling inexplicably excited in his heart.

He never thought that at his age, one day he would be able to go further and get the chance to realize his dream.

After staying outside the mansion for a few seconds, he did not stay any longer, but left Jinzhou City.

Back to the camping place.

Thousands of garrison soldiers are gathering together, chatting in a hurry.

Zhao Rui looked at them and was stunned.

When I came here, I said that if you choose to join the new army, stand on the left, and if you choose to make a living, stand on the right.

But now everyone is standing together. Is this joining the new army or making a living on their own?

Could it be that no one thought it out and simply stood there?

Zhao Rui looked at them and said blankly, "Are you going to stay or leave?"

When everyone heard Zhao Rui's voice, they all raised their eyes and replied loudly: "If you go back to the general, we will all be willing to follow you and join the new army!"

Are you all willing to join the new army?

Zhao Rui was stunned when he heard this.

This result, he did not expect.

Most of these people are still very young, have their own ideals, and feel that the world belongs to them.

This point, a long time ago, Zhao Rui saw it.

But now when faced with a real choice, he still chose to take this path.

For a while, Zhao Rui didn't know what to say.

Looking at them, he said indifferently: "Okay, since you are willing to join the new army, you will still be my subordinates. From then on, our Jinzhou military station will be changed to the first battalion of the new army navy, and I will still be your commander!"

The first battalion of the Navy?

When everyone heard this, they were stunned.

Navy?

They have never seen the sea before, so why did they suddenly become sailors?

Someone showed hesitation and said, "Master, we are all unskilled! If you want to change, you should be an ordinary soldier. How can you become a navy?"

Zhao Rui glanced at him, and said lightly: "Isn't it possible to practice without water skills?"

"This......"

When everyone heard this, they fell silent again.

It is indeed possible to practice.

But what are you drawing?

Aren't those pirates supported by people from Jinzhou Guard?

Even if there are not enough people in the Jinzhou Guard, if they help out occasionally, they don't need to be directly assigned to the Navy, right?

The most important thing is that it seems useless to ask for a navy!

After all, those pirates are just playing tricks in the final analysis, and there is no need to form a navy for them, right?

When Zhao Rui saw the expressions of the crowd, he immediately knew what they were thinking.

Zhao Rui frowned slightly, and said leisurely: "I know what you're thinking, Lord An meant to train us to be the first navy of Da Chu, and now there are not many people on this land who are me. Da Chu's opponent.

But this overseas is not necessarily the case. For example, a group of barbarians from the west appeared in Nanyang, and the strength of the navy was very strong.

I, Da Chu, only rely on the Divine Machine Battalion and cannot compete with it. At this time, we need to appear on the stage..."

Zhao Rui is usually a quiet person, but this time he talked a lot.

Because he knew that if some of these people's thoughts were not dispelled, the first battalion of the navy would be useless and meaningless.

"..."

The soldiers below were still silent.

Seeing this, Zhao Rui said, "I don't force you, if you don't want to join the first battalion of the Navy, you stand up and I will explain the situation to Lord An and transfer you to other battalions."

When everyone heard this, they were blown up, and hurriedly said: "I want to follow Lord Qianfu!"

"Yes! We want to follow you, Commander-in-Chief. Without you, it would be meaningless for us to join the new army!"

"Yes! Commander..."

Everyone chattered.

Zhao Rui frowned when he heard this, and said coldly: "Shut up! You have never been soldiers of my Zhao Rui. You were soldiers of the imperial court before, but now you are soldiers of Duke An!

No matter who is your commander-in-chief, it is the same. What does this gesture mean?Want to rebel? "

Everyone was speechless, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Zhao Rui continued: "I can understand your thoughts, but I can't accept them. I will give you an hour to think about them. Tell me if you don't want to stay. Don't worry, I will ask Mr. An to arrange a good one for you." where to go!"

Time passed by every minute and every second, and I don't know how long it took, but still no one stood up.

At this time, Zhao Rui said, "I'll give you one last chance. If you don't want to join the First Battalion of the Navy, you can stand up, or if you regret it, if you don't want to join the new army, you can stand up!"

Everyone was still silent.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Rui was a little relieved, but his face still had no expression on his face, and he said, "Okay, since no one is willing to leave, you will be the first battalion of the navy from now on!"

Speaking of this, he paused, suddenly raised his voice, and said loudly: "Everyone pay attention!"

Everyone looked up at Zhao Rui.

Zhao Rui also looked at them, and said loudly: "Target, Jinzhou Guard! Go forward!"

"Yes!"

One thousand people left the city of Jinzhou in such a mighty way.

In the mansion.

Fang Xiu was lying on the rocking chair, eating the pastry that Xiuer sent, and looking at the letter in front of him.

It's from the UK.

The content of the letter is very simple, there are no polite words, or even plain language.

The communication between warriors is like this, it is extremely vulgar, but it is also extremely convenient.

The content of the letter can be summarized as: Even if the military system is abolished, so many people are recruited, and the conditions are still so superior, can you afford the money?

Chapter 35 Attacked Port

After reading the letter, Fang Xiu smiled slightly, and replied with disdain, "Just recruit as many troops as you can, and I will accept them all!"

Xiu'er next to her put another piece of pastry near Fang Xiu's mouth.

After Fang Xiu ate, suddenly there was a loud commotion outside.

Fang Xiu frowned, quite dissatisfied.

When is this, is there anyone looking for trouble?

Fang Xiu looked up, and as expected, someone came to the mansion.

But the person who came was unexpected by Fang Xiu.

It turned out to be the prefect of Jinzhou.

Didn't he already promise him that he would not let his nephew go to the battlefield, and why did he come to see him?

The prefect of Jinzhou rushed to Fang Xiudi in a hurry, first saluted respectfully, and then said: "Mr. An, something serious has happened!"

Fang Xiu looked at him, frowned, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The prefect of Jinzhou looked anxious, took a deep breath, tried to calm down his emotions, and then said slowly: "My lord, those pirates are lawless, and they attacked the port of Jinzhou in the dark, Jinzhou The guard... the entire army was wiped out!"
