Lord: Start with a copy of Water Margin

In the next three days, Zhao Zhen practiced martial arts with Coach Zhang every day, and the training of strong men was on the right track. Zhao Ji, Zhang Qi, and Zhong Lin were all competent as leaders of the third team. As for the older team and the younger team, The first team is commanded by Zhao Xing and Zhao Yuanli.

The transformation of Zhuang Ding's team went very smoothly. During this period, the army also took inventory of military merits as required, and held a grand competition to re-rank the ranks of the sergeants.

As the first two teams in the army, the [Baohudu] led by Ruan Xiaoqi and the [Chongfengdu] led by Bao Xu fought bravely and bravely. Zhao Zhen personally gave instructions and all sergeants were designated as superior soldiers. .

After all, [Baithu City] is composed of water bandits. These people have robbed the surrounding areas since they were young. They are tough and good at fighting and are not afraid of life and death. And [Chongfengdu] is also a sturdy man selected from the entire army, and is equipped with the best infantry armor, hundreds of refined heavy swords, and broad knives, with astonishing lethality. And they are all heroic-level soldiers, so they naturally deserve to be treated as first-class soldiers.

On this day, just after noon, there was a commotion on the pier. A villager had come to send a message. Liu Tang, Li Yun, Zhu Fu, and Ruan Xiaoer were returning to collect salt. Three ships brought back 1,500 stones of sea salt. Of course, there were also many fish. Seafood.

After sending the sea salt to the warehouse, Zhao Zhen, Liu Tang and others were talking in the meeting hall when Zhao Yuanli came in and said: "Master, two heroes Yang Lin and Shi Qian have brought many people back, saying that they have found Lu Master, everyone is waiting on the school grounds."

Zhao Zhen stood up quickly and said to Zhao Yuanli: "Yuanli, go and invite Miss Cuilian and Zhang San and Li Si to come to the village." After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Yuanli to respond, he hurried out and Liu Tang and others Seeing this, he quickly followed Zhao Zhen out.

On the school grounds, only one group of Zhuang Ding who wields guns and sticks is still practicing. The others who have no training tasks today are all busy after morning exercises. Those who are on duty are patrolling the manor and doing some chores. Xiu Mu's Go home early and rest.

[Chongfengdu] At Wu Yong's suggestion, the defense was transferred from Kushutun to Baishigu Manor. From then on, as the defense force guarding Baishigu, they would only train and patrol every day.

Ruan Xiaoer is still guarding the water village at the north gate of Baishi Valley, but Ruan Xiaoer has just returned and the water army has not yet been organized. Liangshan County originally had three three-masted multi-oared ships, six two-masted multi-oared ships, one stern warship, and eighty-three fast boats that were captured. Meng Kang has newly built four two-masted multi-oared ships and two three-masted multi-oared ships under construction.

After Zhao Zhen discussed with Wu Yong, he planned to use Ruan Xiaoer as the commander-in-chief and command one warship with 20 sailors, 32 crossbowmen, 40 sailors and three three-masted ships with 12 sailors each. , there were 50 soldiers on board; a total of 190 melee soldiers, 32 crossbowmen, and 56 sailors. Li Xiaming and Wang Benxing served as team leaders and assistants, and the name was "Big Boat Capital".

Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi both had a three-masted ship as their flagship, three two-masted ships, and thirty go-go boats, each with 36 sailors.

Ruan Xiaowu is in the Golden Beach Water Village, forming a team that is good at underwater fighting, diving and boat building. He has chosen water ghosts who are good at diving and boating. They are named "Sea Loach Capital", and Meng Kang also serves as the deputy captain.

Ruan Xiaoqi added 140 people to the "Bohudu" on the ship, and recruited 90 people from the fishermen to serve as water ghosts. They drove the boat, with Gao Lun, Cai Zhong, and Jia Shan as the team leaders. Residing in Donglou Village, Qinglong Mountain.

Among the three naval forces, only [Loach Capital] has all its warships and sailors and soldiers, [Hai Loach Capital] is still training soldiers, and [Juzhou Capital] has two three-masted ships that have not yet arrived.

Now that Ruan Xiaoer has returned from transporting salt, he will immediately start recruiting soldiers and sailors to complete the establishment of the [Giant Boat City] as soon as possible.

When Zhao Zhen came out, Yang Lin and Shi Qian were accompanying a senior monk on the school grounds to watch the [Chongfengdu] sergeant perform the Stone Lock Kung Fu to practice their strength. Since Coach Zhang taught Zhuang Ding this Stone Lock Kung Fu, this Kung Fu has quickly become the most popular in the army. Popular strength training. [Chongfengdu] Although the sergeant is not yet proficient in the skill of playing with stone locks, his various tricks of lifting, throwing and catching are dazzling.

Zhao Zhen saw that everyone was watching seriously and did not bother him. He stood behind a few people and watched the sergeant on the field waving the stone lock.

While everyone was watching, there was a sound of horse hoofbeats. Zhang San and Li Si ran over panting, knelt down in front of Lu Zhishen, and shouted: "Master! Master! I don't want to see the master today. The master is always good." "

Lu Zhishen helped the two of them up and shouted: "Straight mother-in-law! Why are you crying? The Sa family still wants to live a few more years."

Only then did everyone see Zhao Zhen and others standing behind them. Yang Lin came forward to introduce them. Everyone was greeted on the school grounds. Zhao Zhen invited everyone to sit in the hall. The people who came back with Yang Lin were temporarily settled by Zhao Yuanli and Zhuang Ding.

When everyone sat down, Zhao Zhen said to Lu Zhishen: "I am glad that Tiha has set foot in the village today. I often hear my wife, Jin Cuilian, talking about Tiha's kindness in rescuing her. I have also heard in the rivers and lakes that Tiha punched Guanxi and uprooted weeping willows. , I met Teacher Lin after a long journey, and I admired Tiha as a person. I asked Brother Yang Lin to look for Tiha for the second time, and we finally met each other today. I am glad that I bought wine today and got drunk with Tiha. "

Lu Zhishen said: "I have lived in Shandong and Hebei, and I have heard of the reputation of high officials as being kind and charitable. I originally wanted to come here, but I was concerned about the lawsuit and offended Gao Qiu, so I kept hanging out in the world and didn't dare to go." In the past few days, I met Yang Lin and Shi Qian brothers in Qingzhou, and heard that Zhang San, Li Si and others from Bianjing were here, so I thought of it, abandoned the mountain stronghold, and came to seek refuge with my followers from the mountain. "

"I heard from brothers Yang Lin and Shi Qian a lot along the way that the high-ranking officials have created a great situation now, gathering twenty or thirty loyal heroes. When I saw them today, it turned out that it is better to be famous than to meet and hear, and to meet is worse than to be famous. The Sa family had previously I became a monk in Mount Wutai and was given the name Zhishen by my teacher, Elder Zhizhen. I will not mention the word of jurisdiction. When people see the flower embroidery on the back of the Sa family, they call me the flower monk Lu Zhishen. The high officials also call me the same. "

Zhao Zhen was about to speak when he saw Jin Cuilian and Jin Laohan running in in a hurry. When they saw Lu Zhishen, they knelt down and worshiped: "Your Excellency, I am so happy to see you today. How could I have done it if I hadn't been saved by my benefactor?" There is today."

Lu Zhishen helped Old Man Jin up and asked, "I heard from the senior official that you two are here now. Why don't you go back to Tokyo and come here too?"

Old Man Jin said: "My benefactor is above me. I am grateful to be saved by my benefactor. I found a car and wanted to go back to Tokyo. But I was afraid that this guy would come and there would be no benefactor to rescue me, so I just wandered in the mist. I didn't want to." When she came here, Cuilian won the favor of the high officials and took her as a concubine. Now she has abundant food and clothing, all because of her benefactor."

"My daughter often talks about Tiha's great kindness to her son-in-law, and often says: 'How can I get a meeting with my benefactor?' Two more people, Zhang San and Li Si, came to Zhuangzi and talked about their benefactors. With this, I The son-in-law sent people to find out where the two of them were in the rivers and lakes, and asked the benefactor to meet them here. "

Jin Cuilian also said: "It's hard to repay Tiha's kindness with death. No matter what today, I have to offer Tiha a few glasses of wine to express my gratitude."

Zhao Zhen said: "Yes, today Xiao Ke and Miss Cuilian thanked the master together. Ever since I heard Zhang San and Li Si mentioned that the master escorted Coach Lin out of loyalty, Xiangguo Temple could not go back, so he could only hang out in the rivers and lakes. This is why people repeatedly search for traces of the master in the rivers and lakes, just to thank him.”

Zhao Zhen asked again: "I wonder how Master arrived at Qingzhou?"

Lu Zhishen said: "It's a long story. If the officials are willing to listen, I'll come to the Sa family one by one."

After everyone heard this, they unconsciously leaned forward, looking expectant.
