Overturning the Liangshan of the Water Margin, I am the master

() Born to work hard, Song Qingchang lamented himself like this.

Although he really wanted to have a relationship with Wanyan Baokang, he wanted to get a batch of war horses here first, but before the kitchen dishes were ready, the guards flew to report that Military Master Gongsun and the others had arrived.

Gongsun Sheng and the others have arrived?This news made Song Qing even more excited than getting [-] war horses. He ordered someone to tell Wan Yan Baokang that he had something urgent to do, so he would not accompany them today. He asked them to stay at ease and entertain them later.

Then lead people to rush to the pier quickly.

Dengzhou had a military wharf in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but it was gradually abandoned due to disrepair.After Chai Jin and the others arrived, Hui Tong Meng Kang and others hired local laborers to start renovations. The project has not yet been fully completed, but docking large ships is no longer a problem.

It is true that Gongsun Sheng and the others have worked hard enough. Although they encountered resistance in Jeju, it is not the same as the difficulties they encountered when they first entered the sea.

Every soldier in the Liang Shanshui Army has good water quality, but when they set foot in the sea for the first time, many people were drowned and many ships were overturned by the waves. If they hadn't been walking along the coastline , according to the sea is very close, there is the possibility of annihilation of the whole army.

Seeing this situation, Gongsun Sheng didn't dare to show off his power, and ordered to collect the sea-going ships, and then set out on the road.So many people, where to collect so many big ships?Later, even many fisherman's boats were snatched, and finally enough boats were gathered to set sail.Just like this, they stumbled all the way, and when they arrived in Dengzhou, the [-] sailors were less than four floors, which can be said to have suffered heavy losses.

After seeing the tragic situation of Gongsun Sheng and others, Song Qing almost didn't shed tears.

Poor diet, coupled with wind and sun, and always have to fight against death.These Liangshan heroes who were strong in the past are all so thin that they don't look good.

Although Gongsun Sheng looked miserable, he was in good spirits. Looking at Song Qing with a heavy expression, he said with relief: "At last, the old Taoist did not disappoint the manager. Although the brothers suffered heavy losses, I believe that after this journey, the waters of Liangshan will be destroyed." Brothers in the Army are qualified enough to be our Marines"

Song Qing believed that Gongsun Sheng was right. His real purpose was also to train soldiers, but the price was too high. More than 6000 Liangshan elite water troops were buried in the sea like this. Song Qing felt distressed thinking about it.

Ruan Xiaowu and the others were already so exhausted that they didn't even have time to grieve. They lay down on the ground and refused to get up when they got on the pier. This was the first time in their lives that they felt the loveliness of land.

Song Qing hurriedly ordered Chai Jin to lead people to arrange these navy troops.

Dengzhou didn't have an organized navy, but there were barracks for the Xiang army.After Song Qing arrived, according to the old rules, the Xiang army was disbanded, and on the basis of the original barracks of the Xiang army, it began to expand. He could not always let the soldiers live in tents.Like the wharf, although it has not yet been completed, many houses are ready for people to live in.

After these sailors moved in, Chai Jin ordered someone to prepare meals for them in case they got up.

We were busy here, and another guard came to report that Meng Kang and the others who had gone to sea to test the ship had returned.

This is also good news.Song Qing explained that he came to the pier again.These are all meritorious ministers. The hopes of the Liangshan Navy are pinned on them. If you don't greet them in person, how can you express your gratitude in your heart.

Similar to Gongsun Sheng and others, Meng Kang, Ruan Xiaoer, and Zhang Shun were also black and thin, but these people were unusually energetic, and they walked on the springboard like dragons and tigers, not at all like Gongsun Sheng and others. rusty.

Seeing Song Qing coming to greet them in person, several people were a little flattered.He rushed forward and bowed to salute.

"Meet the Steward"

Song Qing stepped forward to support them, and laughed loudly: "It's too late for you to come back. Dao Chang, fifth brother, and seventh brother have just arrived, so go and have a rest first. Tonight I will call everyone to help us go smoothly Joining forces in Dengzhou, I will also cleanse the dust for you."

In fact, Meng Kang and the others had already seen the messy ships moored by the pier, but they did not expect that they belonged to Gongsun Sheng.

Especially Ruan Xiaoer, when he heard that his two younger brothers had arrived, he pleaded guilty to Song Qing and went to visit them.

Song Qing looked at the big boat that Meng Kang and the others were riding on, nodded and said, "How many troops can this boat hold? Is there any room for improvement?"

"Except for daily necessities such as food and water, it is no problem to accommodate 500 people. What is the problem? There are too few ships, and our weapons also need to be improved. When we were at sea yesterday, we wanted to rob a merchant ship. Since we were inexperienced and our weapons couldn't keep up, we let them run away"

Meng Kang said regretfully that he came earlier and knew what kind of ships sailed on the sea. Besides, the nature of Liangshan heroes is to plunder.

This is the common thought of several of them.

Of course, Song Qing would not stop them, and once the navy formed its combat effectiveness, the first task he would give to the navy was to block the route from Koryo and Japan to Shibosi in the Song Dynasty.

Goryeo and Japan can do trade if they want to, but they must do it with Dengzhou.When the navy becomes stronger, it will have to go further.

"Haha" said with a smile: "Brother Zhang Shun and the others are fine with the war, you should stay at home and build a ship for me!"

He turned his head and said to Zhang Shun: "Someone sent me two [-]-denier large ships. You can receive them yourself later, and try to build our navy in the shortest possible time."

Zhang Shun happily responded, what they lack most now are large sea-going ships and well-trained sailors, but he also knows that these things cannot be rushed.

Song Qing suddenly thought of Wanyan Baokang again, and he probably didn't have time to talk to him now, so he ordered someone to tell Chai Jin who was still busy with the placement of the navy, and asked Chai Jin to find time to get in touch with Wanyan Baokang.

Isn't Wanyan Baokang going to study the acceptance?Okay, I will send someone to study with you, my old man has no time to accompany you.

That night, Song Qing gathered all the people he could gather. This was their first gathering since they entered Dengzhou, and it was also a welcome for Gongsun Sheng and others.At the banquet, Song Qing grandly introduced Chen Dong to everyone.

Chen Dong, who tidied up neatly, has returned to his previous appearance of being able and capable, but he is much thinner than before, and he doesn't talk much.

On this occasion, Song Qing didn't need him to express his attitude, but wanted him to see his own attitude.That is, I have already regarded you as my own, so you should use all your energy?

The heroes reunited after a long absence, and at the same time occupied so many territories, it can be said that it has exceeded expectations, so this meal was extremely enjoyable.

The heroes of Liangshan were clamoring for wine, Chen Dong sat not far from Song Qing, took out something from his arms and handed it to Song Qing.

"I drew this in an afternoon, please take a look at it"

Entering the role so quickly?good.

Song Qing took the map-like thing that Chen Dong handed him with a smile, opened it, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

It can be seen that this is a simple map of a city, but it is just such a simple map, but it is not how many times stronger than the current Dengzhou.

Chen Dong was obviously pleased with Song Qing's reaction, pointing to the map and began to explain.

"I've been lingering in the streets and alleys of Dengzhou, and found that the current structure of Dengzhou has reached the extreme, and if the general manager wants to gain a foothold here for a long time, he must rebuild a new city, so as to adapt to the long-term development of the general manager in the future."

Then Chen Dong began to introduce to Song Qing where a wharf could be built, a granary could be built there, a military camp could be built there, and so on.It can be seen that he really put his heart into it.

Looking at it, Song Qing frowned.Because he thought of a very real problem.The idea is good, but how long does it take to build a new city?Regardless of financial resources, where are you going to find so many people?

The navy needs to expand, recruit more sailors, protect local security, and even occupy more places in the future. All these require the army, so military power cannot be invested in construction.

And these states and counties occupied are all sparsely populated, and there is a shortage of people to cultivate the land, let alone build cities.

Chen Dong seemed to know what Song Qing was thinking, and said with a slight smile: "The manager is worried about people? I have an idea, the manager may wish to refer to it."

"First of all, we have no shortage of silver in Liangshan, so we don't have to worry about not being able to hire people. But this alone is not enough. I heard that Fangla in the south of the Yangtze River is rebelling, and there are also people in Huaixi. Jiangnan may be farther away, Huaihe The west is not far away. The war will inevitably cause many homeless people. If the general manager can grant them land, I think there will still be many people willing to come, so that there will be more manpower, and finally the other side of the sea Now, if the steward can send a strong fleet, I think that many people can be brought back."

The other side of the sea?

Song Qing was taken aback for a moment, then realized that Chen Dong's idea for him was to go to Korea or Japan to plunder the population?

Um!The population of Goryeo and the little devil can be captured, which is a good idea, but it will have to wait for a while, and wait for the navy to form a combat force.

But it would be nice if some refugees could be recruited.After beckoning to Chai Jin, and telling Chai Jin what Chen Dong thought, Chai Jin also praised him repeatedly.

Song Qing immediately made a decision that the construction of the new city should be completely handed over to Chen Dong and Chai Jin, and he asked them to start preparations tomorrow.

Seeing Chen Dong and Chai Jin sitting together muttering, Song Qing couldn't help sighing, they are scholars after all!The idea he came up with was really fucking sinister.

After finally waiting for them to finish speaking, the heroes over there got impatient for a long time ago, and raised their wine bowls to toast Song Qing.

It turned out that the heroes of Liangshan were convinced of Song Qing, but not to the point of admiration, but now they really respect Song Qing.If it wasn't for the Song and Qing Dynasties, they might have become cannon fodder for the imperial court. If it weren't for the Song and Qing Dynasties, they might still be living in the mountains, let alone occupying so many places like today.

Song Qing was also really happy today, the army finally joined Dengzhou, one step closer to his goal, and he found Chen Dong, a man of action.

After a boozy drink, they broke up happily, and Song Qing was carried back in the end.But this time he pretended to be drunk because he really didn't dare to drink anymore.
