Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 358 Jiaodong
It was the end of May when Zhou Cang returned to Dongnae.Xuzhou lacks cadres, and Liaodong has no cadres at all.For Liaodong, almost all of Donglai's civil and military personnel were withdrawn. Now only Cao Xing is left as the military general stationed in Donglai, and there are also Yarui Ying, Qingmu Ying, prefects, and vacancies.

Because there are gold mines, and Donglai is also a hub connecting Liaodong, Donglai seems to be an important town!The current Donglai, that is, Yantai and Weihai in the later generations, are completely incomparable in economic status, and the developed areas in later generations are indeed remote places.Remote places also have advantages, that is, they are easy to manage. Zhou Cang simply ordered Chengyang County, that is, the later Qingdao and Rizhao areas, to be merged with Donglai County, and a new county named Jiaodong County was established.

Jiaodong existed in the Qin Dynasty, and it got its name because it is located in the east of the bottom of Jiaolai Valley.During the Han Dynasty, the Jiaodong State was abolished many times, and the government experienced Jimo and Pingdu. Under the rule of Zhou Cang, the new Jiaodong County was adjacent to the Bohai Sea in the north, the East China Sea in the east, Langya and Donghai County in the south, and Beihai County in the west. The Shandong Peninsula has jumped to become the county with the most extensive area, with 36 counties under its jurisdiction, and Wendeng is the seat of government.

Guoyuan, the former governor of Chengyang, is the governor of Jiaodong County. Guoyuan's talent and political ability are unquestionable. The assistant Zhou Cang has no suitable personnel and has to be temporarily vacant. He will be adjusted after returning to Xuzhou.

The military cannot be without a general. Zhou Cang persuaded Chen Dao to stay in Donglai, but Chen Dao had to agree, and Sun Da temporarily led the guards.Chen Dao was in charge of the military, serving as the general of the Qingmu battalion, Cao Xing as his deputy, and the commander of the Shirui battalion.

Chen Dao suggested to Zhou Cang that Jiaodong should add a navy to complement the Liaodong Navy, and Zhou Cang thought it was reasonable.But after much deliberation, they couldn't find a suitable candidate. The Guangling water army was not only a barrier to the south, but also a guarantee for Xuzhou's retreat. Therefore, Ding Feng and Xu Sheng dared not move easily. Only Liao Hua was a native of Jingzhou who knew a little about water warfare, but Liao Hua can't move lightly now in Pengcheng and Xiapi.

Sun Da was promoted to the commander of the personal guard, and remembered that he wanted to help his younger brother, so he recommended Sun Xing, who is now the deputy commander of the detective battalion.The Sun brothers were originally Donglai people who were familiar with the local waters, and they were highly valued by Gan Ning's subordinates. After several years of experience, they made rapid progress.Zhou Cang immediately agreed to transfer Sun Xing to the north to prepare for the establishment of the Jiaodong Navy.

Most of the fishermen in Jiaodong served as auxiliary soldiers and transport soldiers, and the establishment of a training camp put great pressure on Jiaodong, and Zhou Cang could not do the militaristic thing.The Cracked Earth Camp has crossed the sea twice, which is considered a bit of experience, so Zhou Cang ordered Sun Da to select 3 soldiers with a little knowledge of water skills as the training camp's team.If the new battalion is built, Zhou Cang will have five battalions of sailors, [-] people.

Before leaving, Zhou Cang once again explained to Chen Dao that he would quarry stones in Jiaodong, polish them into strips and transport them to Liaoxi.

With the tragic experience of drowning in Yangma Island last time, Zhou Cang dared not go into the water easily, let alone look for the old site of Qingdao Bathing Beach to explore the way back.In mid-June, Zhou Cang returned to Tancheng with the Independent Battalion, the Personal Guard Battalion, and the remaining [-] Cracked Earth Battalions, and Pei Yuanshao's wife and children returned to Xuzhou with them.

Zhou Wen, Xu Huang and others welcomed them into the city, and Zhou Cang ordered them to discuss matters in the White Tiger Hall the next day, and he brought Li Qiao and Pei Feng back to the mansion.

Gan Mei and the younger sister were already waiting in the mansion, but the younger sister couldn't see Dian Wei, so she asked, "Brother, why isn't Elai here?"

"Little sister..." Zhou Cang sighed: "In order to occupy Liaodong, Elai has died in battle..."

The little girl fainted on the ground with a cry, Gan Mei hurriedly asked the maid to help the little girl up, pinched the person and touched her back, after a long time the little girl woke up slowly, her eyes were straightened, and tears were streaming down her face.

Gan Mei asked, "Why is this expedition so dangerous? Has your husband ever been injured?"

Zhou Cang shook his head.

"Has the evil corpse been brought back?"

Zhou Cang pulled Dianman and said to his younger sister, "Elai often manifests after death, protecting the local people and being enshrined by them. He entrusted me with a dream. He has been named a mountain god by the emperor of heaven, so his bones are buried in Changbai Mountain."

Gan Meixin thought it was true, pulled the little girl and said: "Evil is brave and invincible. After death, he was favored by the Emperor of Heaven. It was his creation to confer gods. You should have a good life and bring Xiaoman up. We will meet again in the future."

The little girl's eyes were blank, and she murmured, "Then why didn't he entrust me with the dream?"

Zhou Cang said nonsense: "He has a priesthood now, and he protects one party. He can't leave his post without the order of the Emperor of Heaven."

"No, I'm going to Liaodong." The little girl struggled to get up.

Gan Mei hurriedly pulled her back. "The sky is high and the water is far away. You can go as soon as you say. Besides, what about Xiaoman? It's not a moment to go."

Dianman listened to his chest and said, "Mother, don't worry, I'm still here."

The little girl felt sad for a while, and she burst into tears while holding Dianman.

"By the way, Yuan Shao has gone to Liaodong now. When I come back this time, I brought Zhang Qiao, Pei Feng, and Pei Yu back. Meier, please settle down."

That day, Gan Mei left her younger sister and Zhang Qiao in the mansion, and the three talked all night.Zhou Cang spent a sleepless night with Dianman and Peifeng, leaving the newly married Liu and Zhang alone in the vacant room.

Early the next morning, Zhou Cang gathered at Xuzhou Civil and Military White Tiger Hall to discuss matters.Zhou Cang explained the process of the battle of Liaodong without any concealment. Everyone was terrified when they heard it. The whole process was too dangerous, and if there was a slight deviation in one step, the entire army would be wiped out.

Qu A gritted his teeth and said, "I really didn't expect Tian Guang to be such a person."

Zhou Wen shook his head and sighed, Yang Rui was thoughtful and silent, Zhou Chong glanced at Chen Jiao, but did not speak.Gan Chi said in shame: "It's because I'm incompetent, I couldn't identify..."

"It's not your fault. There aren't many people like Tian Guang after all. Don't blame yourself, just do more investigations in the future." Zhou Cang waved his hand, then looked at Yang Rui. "Yang Rui, from now on you are the chief bookkeeper of the mansion."

"Thank you, my lord, Yang Rui will live up to my lord's trust, and repay my lord's kindness with all my heart."

Zhou Cang said again: "When evil comes and dies, he will be awarded the second-class gold medal. Chen went to the tiger's mouth to take risks, delivered news at a critical moment, and later led the army into the city, and was awarded the second-class silver medal. Guan Hai and Cao Xing beheaded the general Xu Qian. , Liu Yi, awarded the second-class bronze medal. Wu Gang was not disturbed, led the army into the city, captured the enemy general Liu Yi, and awarded the first-class bronze medal. What do you think?"

"I am sincerely convinced!" Everyone replied in unison.

"Chen Deng resettled the immigrants and provided timely advice. Although he did not directly participate in the war, his contribution was indispensable. He was awarded the second-class silver medal. Other personnel will be rewarded by the staff department based on merit."

Zhou Wen and Xu Huang agreed in unison.

Zhou Cang sighed: "It's a pity, Hua Xiong and Dian Wei. Zhou Wen, you organize people to build the Hall of Martyrs, enshrine the stone statues of the two generals in the temple, engrave their deeds on stone tablets for people to admire, and send thirty veterans The pawns guard and explain to people. On the day it is completed, I and the generals will go to worship."
