A new month, a new beginning, here weeping for votes.

Song found out that with Zheng Zhiyuan's letter, he had detected the sea chart of the channel, and hundreds of old and weak women and children on the island boarded his Chuchen, and embarked on the return journey with two other thousand-material warships. On the pier, Although Yuan Gang and his subordinates were unwilling, they could only watch helplessly as Chuchen took their relatives away.Chuchen disappeared from everyone's sight. Yuan Gang and others turned their heads and looked at Zheng Zhiyuan. Apart from awe, there was also a trace of hidden anger in their eyes.

Zheng Zhiyuan understands the feelings of these people, and also knows that they hate him now, but he doesn't care. When these people settle down in Dingzhou and live a stable life that they never dared to imagine before, the information will come back. At that time, instead of hating themselves, these people would thank themselves for pointing them to a bright path.Now what if they hate themselves, as long as they are obedient and obedient at this stage, time will solve everything. When the Lianshan Island base takes shape, I can even send some of them to Dingzhou in person Take a look and experience the life in Dingzhou for yourself. At that time, they will naturally fight for the great cause of the commander.

The advance team of the navy lost two thousand warships in the storm this time, and the sailors lost more than [-] sailors. After a long search by Song Fafa and others, only a hundred bodies were found, and Song Fafa and others were sent away. People, the tombs built for these dead soldiers were also completed. Zheng Zhiyuan took all his soldiers, Yuan Gang and others to see his brothers off.

Between the two peaks of Lianshan Island, there is a naturally formed lake. Now, on one side of the lake, rows of neat tombs have been dug, and the engraved tombstones are neatly stacked on one side.

"Brothers, go all the way, I can't save your lives, I can only find a good place to bury you." Zheng Zhiyuan gave a military salute to the rows of simple coffin villages nailed up with thick tree poles in front of him.

Following Zheng Zhiyuan's salute, more than a thousand officers and soldiers of the Fuzhou Navy stood at attention with a snap, the military flag was laid flat, and the call for the return of souls sounded again.Looking at the uniform movements of the Fuzhou navy, the solemn and sad atmosphere pervading the scene infected Yuan Gang and others. Yuan Gang even thought that if one day he died, there would be such a funeral It can be regarded as a worthy death.

"Yuan Gang!" Zheng Zhiyuan waved his hands at him.

Walking to Zheng Zhiyuan's side, Yuan Gang asked, "General, what can I tell you!"

Zheng Zhiyuan shook his head, "When you attacked us last time, many brothers died too, right?"

Yuan Gang's face darkened, "Yes, General Shenwu, more than 100 of Yuan Gang's brothers died."

Zheng Zhiyuan nodded, "Without their deaths, we would not have come to Lianshan Island, so let's bury them as soldiers of the Fuzhou Navy. I have already informed my commander in the letter that they Among the people, those who have family members are also treated as military family members. If there are no relatives among the dead who went to Dingzhou, but there are still people on the island, they will also be compensated as soldiers of our Fuzhou Navy who died in battle."

Yuan Gang was slightly taken aback, he was still worried that Zheng Zhiyuan would settle accounts later in the autumn, but he didn't expect such an ending. In this way, these people got rid of a heartache, and said gratefully: "The general is generous, Yuan Gang feels the same, in Thank you in advance for them.”

Zheng Zhiyuan gave him a meaningful look, "Yuan Gang, maybe you still have some resentment against me now, but I believe that after a while, you will be grateful to me. Let's open the window and speak plainly. I don't care what you are feeling now." What do you think, but it is an indisputable fact that we are already on the same boat. If we want to live a good life and have a good future, we have to think together and do things together. I also said ugly words before, Don't think that I am a soft-hearted guy. When I should be tough, I will be tougher than anyone else. If there are people on this island who want to drag their legs and turn their elbows outward, these people can come and try my knife. .”

Yuan Gang bowed his head and said: "The general is too worried. Lianshan Island is from Yuan Gang down, willing to serve the general, and will not hesitate to go through fire or water."

"You're wrong, we all work for the commander in chief. We go through fire and water for the commander in chief."

"Serving for the general means serving for the marshal!" Yuan Gang laughed.

Zheng Zhiyuan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Forget it, you can think what you want, Yuan Gang, I have recommended you as Zhenwu Colonel in the letter, presumably Commander Deng and the Marshal will give me this face, Zhenwu Colonel You are only one step away from the general, from now on, as long as you and your Black Eagle do your best, your wife and your son will have a good time in Dingzhou."

Zheng Zhiyuan beat and pulled, and with hundreds of hostages in hand, he quickly packed up the pirates on Lianshan Island into obedience. The base can be built on a large scale, but some basic projects can be done. The first thing to start is the dock and the dock. First, there is a place for subsequent ships to dock, and second, it is also for the danger of encountering the enemy. can be kept.In addition to doing these things, the Lianshan Island pirates are trained. These people are excellent in water skills. Compared with the Fuzhou sailors, their water skills are much stronger, but they are used to being loose. It will take a while to become a qualified fighter. .

When Zheng Zhiyuan was building the Lianshan Island base, the battle situation between the South Army and Luoyang Zuo Daying, which was facing each other in Qinzhou, had a major change. After Hu Zequan was beaten by King Ning, he was entrusted The post of marching chief was in charge of training Lv Xiaobo. When Zhang Wei's tens of thousands of remnant troops in Qinzhou were carried on stretchers into Lu Xiaobo's Yubo camp, what Hu Zequan was worried about did not happen. A large number of low-level military officers in the south were deployed to effectively control part of the army. Secondly, Hu Zequan and Lu Xiaobo were in trouble together. The rest of Lu Xiaobo, who was aggrieved, calmed down a little.

Seeing all this, Hu Zequan suddenly realized why King Ning wanted to beat him up and let him enter the barracks like this. If he ran to accept Lu Xiaobo's inheritance in a good manner, maybe some of them would be very upset Dissatisfied, which gave birth to trouble.

This meal is worth it.Although Hu Zequan was moaning and whining, he was really happy in his heart. He was finally able to control an army independently. Thinking that his life's wish was being realized when he was about to reach his sixtieth birthday, he regretted that he couldn't wait for him. With the heart, heroes come out of troubled times. Although I am old, I still want to make a career in my lifetime. It is not a luxury to leave a name in history.If King Ning succeeds in his great cause, his achievements today will surely benefit his descendants.

Regardless of the burning pain in his buttocks, Hu Zequan lay on the stretcher like this, and began to give orders. After nearly half a month of training, this army that had just been defeated finally regained its vitality and had a new look. , King Ning's logistics supplies seemed to suddenly become generous, and a large amount of supplies were transported into the camp.

As soon as Hu Zequan was able to sit down, he set his sights on Xiao Tianci who was stationed in Linxi Town. If he wanted to make a fortune, he had to pull out Linxi Town first, but how to pull it out required a lot of thought. Attacking was useless at all. After thinking hard for several days, Hu Zequan came up with a plan.

The war in Qinzhou that had just ceased not long ago was rekindled.

Hu Zequan's army was approaching Chengfeng. Tens of thousands of troops were less than ten miles away from Chengfeng. Due to Hu Zequan's superiority in strength, Chengfeng's defenders gave up the field battle and retreated to Chengfeng City. Guarding the city and waiting for an opportunity to attack, Tian Feng, the defender of Chengfeng, is still quite confident in the combat effectiveness of the more than 1 soldiers of the left battalion of the capital under him. Although the opponent has changed the main general, the soldiers cannot be changed. However, it is impossible for the tens of thousands of soldiers on the other side to compare with themselves in terms of elite level.Moreover, if you defend yourself and the opponent attacks, your advantage is even more obvious.Besieging the city five times and besieging the city ten times, Hu Zequan's [-] to [-] troops wanted to take down Chengfeng, but that was a dream.

Hu Zequan pulled the army to a distance of more than ten miles away from Chengfeng, and his logistics supply line was completely exposed to Xiao Tianci's attack range in Linxi Town. An army of 3000 to [-] people escorted Wuci to the camp under Chengfeng City to ensure that Xiao Tianci could not successfully attack.

Xiao Tianci was indeed looking at the other party's logistics line. How could he not resist taking a bite of such a sweet fruit in front of his eyes!What's more, Xiao Tianci, who had just won a big victory, didn't pay attention to Hu Zequan. The previous Hu Zequan was not just a subordinate of Lu Xiaobo and Zhang Wei, so could he be smarter than them?Xiao Tianci has been looking for opportunities these days, ready to give Hu Zequan a heavy blow. Although the opponent has an army of 3000 to 3000 people to escort each time, and he only has [-] people, as long as he seizes the opportunity, it is not impossible to fight again. A big victory, and more importantly, if the opponent's logistics supplies are destroyed, the opponent's army under Chengfeng City will surely collapse without a fight. At that time, Tian Feng will take advantage of the momentum to attack and wipe out Hu Ze's entire army. If successful , then the first contribution to defeating the enemy is none other than himself.

Xiao Tianci's heart itch.

After Tian Feng confronted Hu Zequan for several days, seeing that the other party had no intention of attacking Chengfeng with hardware, he was surprised, and suddenly remembered Xiao Tianci from Linxi Town, and suddenly broke into a cold sweat. However, I'm afraid that Hu Zequan's attack on Chengfeng was false, and it was true to lure Xiao Tianci to fight out of Linxi Town. If this was the case, then it can be imagined that Hu Zequan must have set up a big trap to wait for Xiao Tianci.

"Come on, come on!" Tian Feng shouted.

It's not too late to make up for it, but the question is, now that Chengfeng is surrounded by Hu Zequan like an iron barrel, can his messengers break out.Tian Feng thought anxiously, now he doesn't care so much, he can only send more people out, as long as one can stand out, that's all.

His message to Xiao Tianci was only one, "Never, never want to leave Linxi Town."
