Crimson Dawn

Chapter 129 no_name

What is the leader of the insurance company fleet.He has met Pu Guanshui, so he can be regarded as an "acquaintance".Pu Guanshui was a few years older than He Zudao. When he saw He Zudao for the first time half a year ago, he still thought this frail young man was just a half-grown child.But after not seeing him for half a year, when He Zudao appeared in front of Pu Guanshui again, he was already a different person.

Standing at the bow of the boat, He Zudao waved to Pu Guanshui on the opposite bow, but he was not polite.He just methodically arranged for the two fleets to converge.According to Pu Guanshui's letter to Chen Ke at that time, after the two fleets converged, the arms and supplies needed to be handed over first.He Zudao dispatched the ships according to such a predetermined plan.

The insurance company's fleet consisted of five large urbones.The sailors on the ship seemed to be well-trained. Although the river was relatively wide, the two fleets were still a bit crowded when they were side by side.Fortunately there were no other boats on the river.Coupled with the skillful manipulation of the ships by the sailors, the two fleets lined up side by side.The sailors adjusted the positions of the sails and oars to keep the speed of the fleet consistent.

Pu Guanshui looked at the fleet of the insurance company, and saw that the sailors were all wearing dark blue uniforms.There is a placard sewn with white cloth on the left chest.There are some words written on it.A small number of sailors have short hair like He Zudao, which is very similar to Chen Ke's hair.That is to say, much like a monk, with extremely short hair.Most of the others have braids.The sailors didn't look much different from ordinary people, except that they were cleaner and their faces were washed.Wearing a hat with a sun visor, the strap is tightly tied to the chin, and it is clean and neat to exercise.While watching, He Zudao's boat first met Pu Guanshui's boat.

The sailors quickly fixed the two boats with ropes.He Zudao checked whether the ropes were tightly tied before jumping into Pu Guanshui's boat.

"Brother Guan Shui, long time no see. Mr. Wen Qing asked me to meet Brother Guan Shui." He Zudao smiled.This wasn't the bewildered smile He Zudao remembered in Pu Guanshui's memory.It seems that He Zudao has experienced many things in the past six months, and this smile no longer carries his own emotions. On the contrary, this smile is full of confidence and honesty, but he can no longer see through He Zudao himself at a glance.

"Brother Zudao, long time no see. How is Wenqing?" Pu Guanshui responded.

"Mr. Wen Qing is very good. After receiving Brother Guan Shui's letter, he has been looking forward to Brother Guan Shui's early arrival."

After saying this, there was a strange silence between the two, Pu Guanshui was slightly confused, while He Zudao waited patiently for Pu Guanshui to speak.

There was silence for a while, the soldiers of the new army and the soldiers of the insurance group watched the two leaders without saying a word, and did not intervene.In addition to the sound of the river flowing, the wind blowing the people's party flag, and the hunting sound of the new army flag.It turned out to be silent.The silence was not broken until there was a cry of a baby in Pu Guanshui's fleet.

Pu Guanshui didn't mean to leave He Zudao on purpose, but he had a lot to say, but he didn't know where to start. When he heard the baby's cry, he said: "Brother Zudao, I saved some victims along the way. The victims of the water. Can you put some of them on your boat first."

He Zudao didn't show any surprise, he smiled and said: "No problem. We also saved some people along the way. Originally there were [-] boats in the fleet, so we sent seven boats to transport people back to Fengtai County. "

Pu Guanshui didn't quite believe He Zudao's words.But He Zudao's candid face is full of the calmness unique to telling the truth.He couldn't help but asked: "Wen Qing said that Fengtai County didn't have any major incidents during the flood, is that really the case?"

"It's definitely not easy in a disaster year, but everyone in Fengtai County has something to eat. There is no such thing as starving to death." He Zudao replied.

"That's good, that's good." Pu Guanshui didn't know whether he was praising Chen Ke or comforting himself.

"Brother Guan Shui, start picking up people now?" He Zudao didn't have any thoughts of wasting time.Chen Ke sent He Zudao to meet Pu Guanshui out of trust in He Zudao.There are a lot of things to do in the base area, and He Zudao, as the most powerful person in the base area, has a lot of work to do.Coming to welcome Pu Guanshui this time is considered a "holiday" given by Chen Ke to He Zudao, and He Zudao is now full of heart to return to the base to continue working.

Since He Zudao asked to resettle people now, Pu Guanshui also thought it was good.He said, "Okay."

He Zudao issued an order to the sailors, and the messenger stood at the bow of the ship, waved the red and green signal flags, and directed the other ships to connect with Pu Guanshui's ship with the flag language.In comparison, Pu Guanshui's fleet did not have such training.They rely entirely on shouting.There were shouts at the top of my voice, followed by a response.The efficiency of Pu Guanshui's fleet is at least three times lower than that of the insurance group.Pu Guanshui also noticed a detail.In the insurance group's fleet, the sailors remained silent.It is completely different from the style of the Anhui Xinjun who can't help commenting and whispering when they see novelty.

"Zudao, how did you train these soldiers?" Pu Guanshui couldn't help asking.

"Training?" He Zudao was a little puzzled. As a political commissar, he didn't really care about daily drills.

Pu Guanshui said with a smile: "Look at your soldiers, all of them are silent, but they are not as blatant as my soldiers."

Only then did He Zudao understand what Pu Guanshui meant, and he said calmly: "In addition to transporting food, everyone is training boats every day. You practice a lot. It will be fine. Besides, you have traveled far to transport food, and you have seen many things. It’s no wonder.”

After hearing this, Pu Guanshui just nodded.At this moment, he heard cries. He looked over there, but saw that the victims on the boat refused to transfer to Hezudao's boat.These people have no idea what it means to put themselves on these strange ships.In the traditional view of the Chinese people, good officials are hard to come by.Pu Guanshui is such a good official who is willing to save people and keep everyone from starving to death, and he will never meet him once in his life.Pu Guanshui's boat is where they live, the only place where they can survive.Therefore, the people are not willing to board a strange ship at all.

The soldiers of the new army tried to persuade them at first, saying that this fleet was their own ship.But the common people feel that since it is their own boat, it is not the same on any boat, so why change boats?

But the people didn't listen to this at all, and some impatient soldiers began to push the people forcibly.The people were immediately afraid when they saw it, and they knelt down and begged.This caused a commotion.

Pu Guanshui asked the people to transfer to He Zudao's boat, hoping that everyone could live in a more spacious place. There are more than 400 people crowded on a dozen boats, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.My own kindness can't be understood by the people at all. Seeing the pleadings of the people, it is the same as what I want to do.His face immediately darkened. "Ba Guandai, go and ask the people to change boats quickly. Isn't it uncomfortable for everyone to be crammed together?" Pu Guanshui shouted.

"Brother Guanshui, wait." He Zudao stopped Pu Guanshui's unkind order. "Brother Guan Shui, these people are scared. They believe you now. I think Brother Guan Shui might as well take a boat and talk one by one. The people will naturally calm down. It will be faster."

Pu Guanshui didn't expect that he would have to work so hard to be a good person.But looking at He Zudao's calm expression, he felt that there was no need to object.

Taking the same boat with He Zudao, Pu Guanshui went to each boat to advise the people that in order to make everyone on the boat live more comfortably, some people must be allowed to go to this boat now.As soon as Pu Guanshui appeared, the people immediately obeyed the words of the savior.

After the exchange of personnel, the insurance group's boat was in front, followed by Pu Guanshui's boat, and the fleet accelerated towards Fengtai County.Pu Guanshui took the opportunity to go to the boat of the insurance group, and asked He Zudao in detail how Chen Ke dealt with the flood.He Zudao followed Chen Ke and the others to save people first, and then set up a "people's home" concentration camp to manage the victims in a unified manner.In addition to the expansion of the insurance group, plus the use of ships raised from various places to rush to transport supplies.Finally, everyone survived.

"Sure enough, it's not about the few but the unevenness." After hearing the hardships of the journey, Pu Guanshui let out a sigh and sighed.But is there anything he didn't say? After this disaster relief, the people of Fengtai County must be grateful to the insurance group.Chen Ke and the others are now firmly established in Fengtai County.

He Zudao was not moved by Pu Guanshui's praise. If he hadn't followed Chen Ke and personally participated in the work, he would never have imagined how complicated a seemingly simple thing could be.Confiding bitterness to Pu Guanshui, or showing off the hard work of the insurance group is not a trivial job.Moreover, He Zudao had no idea about this at all. He then introduced Chen Ke to kill Zhang Youliang and force the local landlords to "borrow land".Get ready for the action of building a mega farm.

Pu Guanshui's face became serious after hearing this.Chen Ke's book once introduced the idea and construction method of large-scale farms.Pu Guanshui's family doesn't actually farm much, but after reading it, he just thinks it makes sense.Unexpectedly, Chen Ke would implement such a strategy in this catastrophic year.This determination made Pu Guanshui unable to comment.

Moreover, Chen Ke clearly wanted to take advantage of the disaster year, and the government was unwilling to intervene too much in the people's self-help, so they turned a blind eye to Chen Ke's approach.But once it comes to next year, the landlords will not be so silent.The famous land borrowing event since ancient times is "Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou".This is obviously a matter of loan without repayment.What's more, once the big farm is built, how can we tell whose land it is?Even if the land is divided at that time, Chen Ke has the final say.Pu Guanshui doesn't think the landlords are so smart, but the landlords should understand such a simple truth.

After He Zudao finished speaking, he stopped politely and waited for Pu Guanshui to speak.But Pu Guanshui frowned and said nothing.In such a large amount of work, He Zudao has learned to be patient.He was not in a hurry, he just waited quietly.

Pu Guanshui thought for a while, but he couldn't think of any good way to deal with the landlord's counterattack. He asked, "How is Wen Qing going to deal with the landlord?"

"Mr. Wen Qing didn't explain this matter in detail. If brother Guan Shui wants to know, just ask Mr. Wen Qing directly when you arrive in Fengtai County."

After hearing this, Pu Guanshui nodded.That's all.Although he can't let go of the landlord's affairs, Pu Guanshui is also relieved when he learns that Chen Ke has really withstood this disaster year.He also stopped mentioning the landlord, but asked more detailed matters.

But He Zudao didn't take this issue, he said seriously: "Brother Guan Shui, since you mentioned the matter of the landlord, I have something to ask for your help."

"What's the matter?" Pu Guanshui looked at He Zudao's serious expression and asked seriously.

He Zudao spoke slowly, "This time, Mr. Wen Qing greeted Brother Guan Shui, and there was a big lineup. All the leading figures in the local area were invited. Therefore, I would like to invite Brother Guan Shui to meet Wen Qing, First salute Mr. Wen Qing."

Hearing this, Pu Guanshui was slightly taken aback.Whoever salutes first in the officialdom indicates the level of inferiority. If Pu Guanshui salutes Chen Ke first, it means that Pu Guanshui has voluntarily admitted that he is inferior to Chen Ke.Although Pu Guanshui is the third in command of the Anhui New Army, even in Anqing, the provincial capital, there are not many people who can make Pu Guanshui salute first.

He Zudao carefully looked at Pu Guanshui's expression, but saw that Pu Guanshui had only pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "Since Brother Wenqing can gain a foothold in Fengtai County, then I should salute him. Don't worry, Zudao Already. I'll salute first."

He Zudao has always been calm and composed, but after hearing Pu Guanshui's reply, He Zudao was relieved.

"Zudao, apart from this matter, did Wen Qing explain anything else?" Pu Guanshui continued to ask.

"No more." He Zudao said hastily.

"Well, I have some things to ask clearly." Pu Guanshui then began to ask about the things he cared about.

Pu Guanshui asked countless questions, and he didn't give up until He Zudao and Pu Guanshui were exhausted.As soon as Pu Guanshui returned to his boat, Ba Yougong leaned forward. "Xietong, what is the origin of this group of people?"

Pu Guanshui picked up the teapot and poured himself a bowl of water.Insurance companies are not just empty ships.At least the insurance group brought enough clean tap water for Pu Guanshui's fleet to drink.Pu Guanshui is very satisfied with the clear water quality.I haven't dared to dock in the past few days, and the water reserve on the boat is not enough. If I didn't meet the insurance group, everyone would have to drink the water in the river. "That's the friend I was talking about."

"Did they eat water?" Ba Yougong asked very interested.

"No." Pu Guanshui replied.

"Then why do they have so many ships, and these sailors are also very unusual." Ba Yougong is also considered an old army, and he saw the key at a glance.

"My friend is just occupying Fengtai County now. I will do him a few favors when I visit him this time." Pu Guanshui said very straightforwardly.Anyway, even if you don't talk about it now, you can see it in Ba Yougong, Fengtai County.It is more sincere to say it now.

"I see." Ba Yougong nodded meaningfully.This 40-year-old middle-aged officer didn't dislike Pu Guanshui. Although he prevented Pu Guanshui from saving people, it was not because Ba Yougong was cruel by nature. Faced with such a natural disaster, Ba Yougong had no choice.But Pu Guanshui's compassion made Ba Yougong respect him.Since what Pu Guanshui said was so sincere, Ba Yougong felt that in this period of natural disaster, as long as it was not completely unacceptable, he would still fully support Pu Guanshui.

The next day, other ships from the insurance group also came to meet up.We divided the load again.Pu Guanshui could see that the fleet of the insurance group was more well-selected and well-trained, and more familiar with the waterways here, so he simply let the people from the insurance group take over the operation of the fleet.As he expected, the entire fleet moved faster.

On the evening of the fourth day, the fleet finally arrived at the pier in Fengtai County.After ten days on the boat, everyone wanted to go to the ground.Seeing the sickle and hammerhead flag on the pier, the officers and soldiers of the Anhui New Army knew that they had reached their destination.Even Pu Guanshui, who was dressed neatly in the uniform of the New Military Association, had a smile on his face.The boat was getting closer and closer to the pier, but Pu Guanshui saw a figure standing there.That should be Chen Ke, he just stood there so naturally, but he could see the difference from other people around him.Not only is Chen Ke taller than others, but his self-confidence, calmness, patience, and vigor make people unable to fail to notice Chen Ke's existence.

He Zudao talked about the development of the insurance group. Chen Ke is now a hero who commands Fengtai County and has 8000 troops under his command.Pu Guanshui never dreamed that Chen Ke could form a team of 8000 people within half a year.Not to mention the quality of this troop, the quantity alone has surpassed the No.30-Hundred Association stationed in Anhui.Moreover, the insurance group's fleet gave Pu Guanshui enough confidence. As long as he can reach the level of the fleet's soldiers, it is by no means a fantasy for the insurance group to sweep Anhui.

Ba Yougong, who was standing behind Pu Guanshui, also noticed Chen Ke.It can be seen from the standing position that Chen Ke is the leader of these people.But Ba Yougong's attention was attracted by those behind him.Among them were officials in county magistrate uniforms, and "fake foreign devils" in suits and leather shoes with short hair.More are gentlemen in robes and jackets.Such a group of people should be all the big names in Fengtai County.And Chen Ke wore the same dark blue clothes as the sailors on the ship, except that he had a belt around his waist.But with short hair, in such a group of people, it looks extraordinarily different.

As soon as the ship docked, Chen Ke went down the stairs.Pu Guanshui jumped onto the pier, but felt that his feet were weak.It was as if the whole ground was shaking.Chen Ke grabbed Pu Guanshui, "Brother Guanshui, I hoped for the stars and the moon, and I finally hoped for you."

Pu Guanshui looked Chen Ke up and down, only to see that Chen Ke was a lot darker, presumably because he was sunburned by running around for days.The others are still the same as they were half a year ago, and they don't look desperate at all.On the contrary, looking more cheerful, Pu Guanshui smiled and said: "Brother Wenqing, I have also wanted to come for a long time."

"It's fine if you come, it's fine if you come." Chen Ke finally smiled.

Chen Ke brought all the gentry from Fengtai County this time, and let them see his relationship with the deputy commander of the Anhui New Army, which is very helpful to Chen Ke's personal reputation.In fact, when these gentry saw Pu Guanshui's brand-new military uniform and the group of new soldiers on the boat behind, they knew that Chen Ke's indeed had a great background.The original confrontational psychology has also weakened a lot.

While the two were talking, He Zudaoba Yougong also jumped onto the pier.Came to the side of Chen Ke and Pu Guanshui.Ba Yougong thought that Pu Guanshui would introduce himself and other officers of the new army.But he saw Pu Guanshui took a step back, and then seriously gave Chen Ke a military salute. "Pu Guanshui, deputy commander of the Anhui New Army, reported to Brigadier Chen."

"Hiss!" Ba Yougong heard many of the gentry gasp.Not only them, Ba Yougong himself was also surprised.He looked Chen Ke up and down, his mind was confused.What is the origin of this Chen Ke, who actually made a vice president salute him?

Chen Ke sternly returned a strange military salute, "Comrade Pu Guanshui, welcome to Fengtai County."

Then both of them took a step forward, clasping their hands tightly together.Behind Chen Ke, the official wearing the county magistrate's uniform started applauding first, He Zudao, who was wearing the same dark blue clothes as Chen Ke, and the soldiers also started applauding.One by one, the gentry also started applauding with different expressions.

Chen Ke turned his head and smiled, "Come on, let's beat the gongs and drums, and welcome comrades from the new army to come to Fengtai County."With Chen Ke in front and Pu Guanshui in the back, the group climbed up the stairs.

Ba Yougong confirmed one thing in his confusion, Pu Guanshui was right, this man named Chen Ke was not only the actual ruler of Fengtai County.Even the ruler in name.
