Beiyang new warlord

"Mountains of swords and seas of fire, at the mercy of Mr. Qian!"

This can be regarded as the first team under his command. Looking at the obedient appearance of these people, Mao Jue, who had never cared about others, suddenly felt a strange sense of pride in his heart.

I fucking have subordinates too!

There are two rows of shops on both sides of this compound, just for Wen Meng and these soldiers to live in. On the first day, Mao Jue didn't bother about anything. Made a new bedding, and used the money to buy a banquet, and gave the frightened guy a tooth-beating festival.

But this time, when a group of guys seemed to have never seen meat before, when they were gnawing on pork knuckles, the door of Qian Zong Yamen was suddenly knocked lightly twice, and Mao Jue, who was a little drunk, came to the gate of the courtyard in a daze , went to open the door by himself.

"That calf?"

"Oh, Mr. Qian, it's me!"

Carrying a box, Pang Dahai appeared outside the door with a wicked smile.

Chapter 25. Invitation from the Great Sea

There is a saying that people will die when comparing people, and throw away goods when comparing goods!It actually makes sense to get it into the army.

Shen Baihu, a No. [-] big blessing ship, with three masts, tens of meters long, equipped with cannons, and paired with two sentry boats, this is a regular army, but under the command of Pang Baihu, Mao Jue even doubted whether it was It is not a thousand households, is it an army after all?

Not only Pang Baihu, Zhao Baihu, and Jin Baihu are also similar to the Baihu Office that patrols the southwest of Liaodong Bay. The sergeants don’t even mention weapons, and even the military uniforms are not uniform. Looking at the boats again, it turned out that the sentinel boat that the giant kelp Mao Jue went to sea that day was considered the best. There were quite a few boats, but they were all dilapidated small sentinel boats. The only two Cangshan boats of more than 30 meters were older than Mao Wenlong. It is said that he was a hero who participated in the Wanli Korean War.

There is still a cannon on board, but the inside is so rusty that even the holes of the cannon are blocked, let alone firing such a cannon, even the shells cannot be inserted.

No wonder three hundred households were required to inspect a place. Looking at this scene, Mao Jue couldn't help shaking his head. Most of the huge Liaodong was occupied by Jiannu. Zhangzi Island, Dalu Island and Lushunkou are the most dangerous areas. Don't worry. Mao Jue felt uneasy about three hundred households and ten such hundred households.

But the only thing that moved Mao Jue's heart was the people!

The three hundred households are like a big fishing village, with the hills in the southeast of Phi Island behind, and the military households have planted a few pieces of land, near the seaside, where the fishing nets have been dried, and not every man can reach the Zhengding quota. There are a lot of young people who are idle and have nothing to do in the [-]-household camp. The three [-]-household camps will have thousands of idlers, old and weak women and children, and the top [-]-household camp.

These people are not good at fighting, but they still have more than enough production.

A group of children shouted excitedly, surrounded the cruise fleet and left. Those soldiers didn’t look like they were fighting at all. They were exactly the same as when they went fishing and said goodbye to the children. They boarded the boat with fishing nets on their shoulders. Pang Hai, who Mao Jue came to inspect, seemed a little embarrassed, and laughed with an ugly back of his head.

"Mr. Qian, a countryman, is used to being loose and doesn't know the rules. Don't forget to take it to heart."

Looking at him sideways, Mao Jue hummed directly.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go to sea!"

Standing on the old toothless antique Cangshan boat, watching a group of guys who look more like fishermen than like the Ming army sail out to sea, and there is also the actual manager of the Pang family's hundreds of households, and the general flag Pang Hai is bluffing there Commander, to be honest, Mao Jue has a lot of question marks in his heart.

The three of them, Shen Baihu and Li Baihu, avoided themselves and the boat like snakes and scorpions. This guy invited himself over and showed this scene, what do you mean?cry poor?I want to get him more military pay.

"This fucking is Xi Daying?"

Followed behind Mao Jue's buttocks, biting a salted fish in his mouth, showing a fish tail, Wen Meng also hummed along.

"This poor man is no better than Lao Tzu fighting the barracks!"

To say that they are fishermen is not to slander the three hundred households. The patrol fleet was less than ten kilometers away from Phi Island, and these guys dispersed. What they did was something that stunned Mao Jue.

fishing!

But seeing eleven or twelve sentinel boats evenly distributed on the sea surface, those soldiers on the list are familiar with patrolling the current and rowing the boats, lowering the nets, closing them, lifting the nets, and fishing, the fleet just stands here and does not move. .

Shen Baihu's subordinates also fished, but that was only to replenish food during the cruise, mainly to patrol the East China Sea and eradicate possible Japanese pirates, but they didn't look like soldiers at all, and they waited for half an hour , and there was no sign of continuing to move forward, Mao Jue just got on a sampan angrily and came to the door.

When he found Da Dahai, this guy was standing on a sentinel boat, and a few soldiers with good water skills were emerging from the water. Hearing Mao Jue's arrival, this guy greeted him with a smile on his face, holding a bunch of fresh water with both hands. The sea cucumbers caught from the sea were presented to Mao Jue.

"Mr. Qian, our hundred households are poor, and we have nothing to entertain. Only this sea cucumber is one of the eight treasures. It is easy to eat. Please be careful, and please accept it!"

Not to mention, this string of sea cucumbers is really good looking, each one is four or five inches in size, with big fleshy feet, and more importantly, it is fresh and natural. If this was in the era when Mao Jue came, it cost 200 yuan a head, and these 20 Long positions will cost 5000 yuan.

However, Mao Jue wanted to keep his name and live like a human being on this island. These [-] households were very important to him. What he wanted was more than a little bit of good luck. He needed strength to deal with it. Yuan Chonghuan, to deal with Jiannu, there are likely to be more to deal with in the future, Mao Jue asked sternly as he pushed the fresh sea cucumber aside without even looking.

"Military affairs! The Jiannu on the other side of the sea is staring at you, but Pang Zongqi is here to fish leisurely. Are you worthy of this military position?"

After being stunned by Mao Jue's yelling, this guy immediately put on a bitter face and spread his hands sadly.

"Mr. Qian, you have also seen that our hundred households are too poor, we can't afford those corn rations, and if we don't get some sea food, everyone will be hungry. The emperor and his old man still don't send hungry soldiers! Qian Master, I beg you to be more tolerant and tolerant, let's get some things here and leave later, look, will it work?"

Hearing this, Mao Jue couldn't help being taken aback for a moment. Thinking about it carefully, when he set off, he really didn't have so many military supplies. After being at sea for more than ten days, his face was a little stiff when he thought about eating boiled fish in plain water.

But first of all, my life is not safe, I don't have time to pick and choose, and I have to find a way to twist the thirteen thousand households into a rope that can strangle Yuan Chonghuan's neck as soon as possible, Mao Jue can only grunt with an ugly face.

"Hurry up, my patience is limited!"

"Little obedience!"

Immediately there was a smiling face again, watching Mao Jue turn around and sit on the sampan, Pang Dahai also stuffed the sea cucumber into Wen Meng's hands, this fellow had no worries about whether he should accept it or not, so he picked it up unceremoniously. The corner of Mao Jue's mouth couldn't help twitching again.

However, Da Da Hai was the first officer in the Qianhu Institute to fall to him. It was really hard to say anything, and Mao Jue could only turn a blind eye.

Not to mention, the small stove in Pang Pang Hai is not bad. The newly salvaged Liao ginseng has been stewed in soy sauce soup. The taste is really scary and full of flavor. Just this fish, Wen Meng and others The mouths of each of the five soldiers were full of greasy food, but the corners of Mao Jue's mouth kept twitching.

Starting off this morning, it’s okay to catch fish for a long time, but at night, Pang Dahai even played a game of shrinking for him. Those two hundred people and ten sentinel boats brought the fish after fishing. , Turned back to Pidao, feeling that they came out for fishing, and the rest were two Cangshan boats, less than 100 people.

This is the most dangerous and important sea area to patrol. With such a group of guys who can't fire a cannon, Mao Jue's heart is like fifteen buckets fetching water, up and down.

"Haha, Hong Fu, Mr. Qian, unexpectedly caught a big guy today. Hurry up and bring the little one to make up for Mr. Qian!"

Just as he was thinking, Pang Pang Hai mentioned this bastard again, and walked into the cabin with a silly smile. Seeing his relaxed appearance and gloomy face, Mao Jue asked angrily.

"Pang Zongqi, are you taking this group of people to inspect the East China Sea?"

"If we encounter Jiannu's fleet, how will we fight?"

"fleet?"

He was stunned again, but Pang Pang Hai couldn't help laughing out loud, and bowed down to Mao Jue with fists in his hands.

"My Lord Qian, don't worry! Jianu has no fleet! I have been patrolling this sea for more than three years. Whenever something goes wrong, you can rest assured. In these two days, The little one must have an explanation for you!"

"Who the hell, why don't you cook it up for Mr. Qian!"

Holding the unlucky tortoise, Pang Pang Hai went to make arrangements again, but seeing how busy the kitchen was, Mao Jue still had an ugly face, and Shen Baihu's three soldiers were full of worries. To win over and cultivate the three hundred households of Pang Zongqi, but today, it seems that these three hundred households are really useless.

We have to find a way to expand the manpower.

With this kind of mind, Mao Jue didn't have the energy to be as "respectful and virtuous as a corporal" like when Shen Baihu was on the boat. It was exactly as what Pang Dahai said, the weather was calm, not to mention Jiannu, he didn't even touch a whale.

Moreover, they have been traveling along the seaside for the past few days. It is not too far away, and they can encounter deserted islands. They can basically spend the night on land, and the degree of bumps on the boat is much easier than when Shen Baihu was on board.

On the third day, almost 100 kilometers away from Phi Island, two Cangshan boats dropped anchor on Xiaolu Island.
