Chapter 1370 Smuggling
Lao Dao, Nangong Dun, and Mod just handed over their hands to express their appreciation, while the representative of the Imperial Army brigade said nervously after expressing his gratitude: "My lord, after receiving the reward, the soldiers are very eager to go to the town to spend some time. I don't know if they can take turns Out of camp?"

Odie and the others were taken aback. Although they knew the virtues of the imperial army, they should have allowed them to go out and have fun, but they had just changed careers from captivity. If they were released to see the bustling scenery, they would cause trouble, right?
Zhao Hu smiled and said: "Of course it is possible, but our place is too remote. It is not a problem for soldiers to cross such a large area of ​​no man's land. How about I send someone to invite some business groups from the provincial capital? Now we have It takes only a few days to go back and forth by sailing on the sea."

The representative of the Imperial Army said with a smile on his face: "It's good to be brave. Brothers don't have to travel long distances and wait for door-to-door service. Where can I find such a good thing? Thank you, my lord!"

"Hehe, this is also the prosperity of my territory, but you tell the brothers to remember your identity, you are all the militiamen led by my Zhao Hu, don't say that you are an imperial army or something like that, otherwise I will kill you." I can't guarantee whether you will be held accountable." Zhao Hu said.

Of course, the militia representative understood the meaning of warning in Zhao Hu's words, and nodded nervously.

He also knew that if the matter was exposed, not only the head of the division would silence him, but the empire would also punish him, because he was not human inside and out. He believed that his brothers would not be so stupid, but he still had to wake them up after returning.

Oudi knows that attracting business groups to do business with these soldiers can increase the popularity of the territory and collect taxes at the same time. Maybe some merchants see that the business here is good and stay here permanently?
This is totally a good thing.

crew?There are a group of rogue prisoners, and Nan Gongdun and Moder, the two guys who have taken refuge, also have crew members under them, so it's not a problem at all.

Someone who monitors and leads the way?Servants who don't know the way can't be used, but those militiamen from the Haiquan Province Guard Division can. They are the army stationed in this coastal province. It's a joke to be seasick and unable to swim. .

However, Odie, who was thinking a lot, quickly thought of the problem, and immediately reminded Zhao Hu: "My lord, we are going to do business with the governor of the province soon. If the business group appears on our territory, will it cause trouble?"

Zhao Hu shook his head and said: "No, those business groups are the same as those encountered in the fifth brigade, they will only appear on our payday, and I believe they will not stay in this deserted area around the rest of the time. As long as you stagger the time and pay attention, I believe there will be no problem."

Odie was taken aback when he heard the words, and then shook his head helplessly. He fantasized that there were merchants staying here, and he didn't think that there was nothing but soldiers here. How could such a wonderful thing happen.

However, when the territory develops, it may be that the problems exposed by the smuggling activities will be noticed at that time, but if the design is ingenious and rigorous, outsiders should not be able to know about it.

Thinking of this, Odie calmed down and began to prepare for the banquet to welcome the head of the provincial governor.

When Peter and Kate arrived at the edge of Zhao Hu's collar, they just heard cheers from a distance, and they looked at each other. Peter smiled and asked the guards sent by Zhao Hu to greet him.

"What's going on in the front? Why is it so noisy, there are at least thousands of people listening to the sound, and it's only because they are so skillful, is there so many free people in Major Zhao Hu's territory?"

"My lord, they are not free people, but the militia led by Zhao Hu. Judging from their voices, they must have been rewarded with a few gold coins again."

This personal guard named Oakd was a little envious, not envious of those soldiers getting gold coins, but envious of them being able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

Although my civilian guards have some fighting power, they are definitely focused on management. If it weren't for the lack of manpower this time, my civil guards might not even be able to take over the tasks to meet them.

Peter and Kate were not idiots. They immediately realized how Zhao Hu had so many militiamen. It seemed that the two brigades that came to attack him were subdued by him.

Kate muttered and didn't know what to curse, but Peter asked curiously: "What are they being rewarded for? Are there still rogues coming to attack?"

Oakd said with a smile: "Why not? Today we were attacked by two rounds of rogues, each time with more than 2000 people. They should have killed the second round of rogues now, and they are accepting the reward."

"What? There are really rogues attacking you? And there are so many of them!" Peter said in surprise. He was very puzzled. The lord of his partner, Mingyue City, had already agreed to Zhao Hu's joining. How could there be rogues coming ashore to attack?

If it was just a small group of rogues, it could be said to be a spontaneous action by the rogues, but the two rounds of rogue attacks totaled more than 4000 people, and without the Mingyue City Lord fanning the flames behind, it would never have happened!
Why does that guy say one thing and do another?
Does he want to invade the Augustus Empire?
Impossible, even if his brain is burnt out, it is impossible to make this decision. It seems that he wants to try Zhao Hu's ability as a partner, but in this way, that guy doesn't care, anyway, he can't wait to be in the territory The rogues are all dead, but we will be miserable, who knows whether Zhao Hu will think that we sent the rogues in these two rounds!

When he gets annoyed and exposes the matter, it's game over.

Peter, who was extremely nervous, suddenly thought that these guards still greeted him enthusiastically, thinking that Zhao Hu would not take his anger on him, he was relieved.

"What? The rogues with 4000 people were defeated by you?" Kate also exclaimed. He didn't expect Zhao Hu's troops to be so powerful, and the rogues with 4000 people were defeated just like that.

Although the members of his two brigades had defected to Zhao Hu, but with the addition of Zhao Hu's original troops, the maximum number of troops was only 2000, and they actually won one to two?It's incredible.

After Kate exclaimed, she realized that she was a little ashamed, and immediately sullenly asked, "Is your loss a lot? The combat effectiveness of four thousand bandits is not weak."

Oakd smiled proudly and said, "My lord, I don't know how small the result of this round is, but we only lost a hundred people in the last round, and we eliminated more than 1000 rogues. The remaining rogues All were captured, and all their ships were captured at the same time, I believe that the results of this round of battle will not be much worse than those of the first round."

Kate and Peter were immediately dumbfounded. They believed that the guards would not exaggerate, because it was clear what was going on when they went there, and it was because of this that they were shocked.

The combat power of Zhao Hu's troops is so powerful that it is outrageous that if one hundred people are killed in battle, the entire army of two thousand bandits will be wiped out!
Aware of this situation, the two adults began to think about whether to further enhance their relationship with Zhao Hu.

With such a powerful army, Zhao Hu, a small major is definitely not the class he stays in. I believe he will have more space in the future. Investing in him now is better than building relationships when he is superior. Times!

With such a foreign aid, it is impossible to say that officials who are not nobles can become a force on their own.

When they were thinking wildly, Okede woke them up with the sound of "here". When they saw the rising town in front of them, they were dumbfounded again.

Of course, the instigators knew what this place looked like before. They didn't expect Zhao Hu to build such a large town in a weedy wilderness in such a short period of time.

After being shocked, Kate asked Peter in a low voice: "Zhao Hu's town is so huge, will it violate the regulations?"

As soon as these words came out, Peter knew that there was still a shadow in Kate's heart, so he didn't say anything, just shook his head.

"There is no violation. The empire has no restrictions on the size of the town in the colonel's territory. Although there is a limit on the height, he has not exceeded it. As for the restricted town wall materials, there is nothing wrong with a major like him using wood as the wall."

Kate sneered and said: "Hmph, I just don't know if he will fill the two wooden fences with soil, it seems that he can't see it, but if he does, it is against the law, because this kind of fence Only towns in the colonel's territory can use it."

Seeing his old friend's expression, Peter couldn't help frowning and said, "I think he who was born in the imperial capital should understand the rules of 'commander town', general officer's castle, major and lieutenant colonel's wood for the wall, colonel's wood and mud, general's stone fortress' these rules. , People like him will never mess around. And even if the other party accidentally violates the rules, we should remind us, after all, we are partners now!"

Kate understood Peter's last words with emphasis, nodded and stopped talking.

In the lord's mansion, Maude and Nangong Dun followed the crowd to salute Peter and Kate. At first they thought that the two were the leaders of the nearby towns, but after learning their identities from the chat, the eyes of the two kept shining with excitement, making them Odie, who was paying attention to them, frowned, fearing that they would think of hugging their thighs again.

"Brother Zhao Hu, I heard that you have seized more than [-] ships. How about it? Can you sell a few to my brother?" Peter was very affectionate as soon as he opened his mouth.

When Kate heard this, she quickly interrupted and said, "Brother, you must sell me a few!"

Although Peter and Kate asked Zhao Hu to call himself elder brother as soon as they met, Zhao Hu continued to address him as an adult and a junior official, and after persuasion once, they called each other their own.

"Huh? My lords, why are you interested in those dilapidated fishing boats captured by the lower officials? It's better than these fishing boats if you just build one in a shipyard in the provincial capital." Zhao Hu asked suspiciously.
