In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, July 18th, the beginning of the hour!

The sky has completely brightened, the light rain has stopped, Xu Changqing's huge fleet has already cleaned up everything properly, almost fully loaded, like a huge school of green fish, returning to Shark Island downstream!

Although it was a tired night, almost no one was sleepy, and they gathered on the bamboo raft in groups of three or five, talking and laughing, and sometimes there was laughter.

Around, those Han female dependents and male slaves were soon infected by this atmosphere, and gradually relaxed, and smiles and hopes began to hang on their faces.

The group of soldiers under Cao Bianjiao's command, although the quality of martial arts and courage is not bad, and the military discipline is also regular, but in this environment, many things that cannot be controlled are displayed.

Like a peacock in heat showing off its feathers, some people began to shout loudly about meat jokes, thinking of teasing the young ladies on the bamboo raft not far away.

Xu Changqing's brows furrowed slightly.

He is of great use to these populations, what should he do if these veterans and ruffians of the Qin army are so frightening them?

Fortunately, Xu Changqing had a plan in advance, and put Cao Bianjiao and these pro-soldiers at the front end of the bamboo raft, firmly isolating them from those female dependents.

But for now, it seems that the effect is still not very good.

Cao Bianjiao naturally noticed this situation, and his face was a little unsightly for a while.

These melon babies have lost all his face, why the hell have they never seen a woman?

When even shouted: "Whoever dares to chew his tongue again, Lao Tzu will throw him into the sea to feed the fish now!" ”

"This ......"

The pro-soldiers fell silent for a moment.

At this time, they also discovered that although the sons and daughters under Xu Changqing were also talking and laughing, no one dared to joke about those female dependents, as if this had become a taboo.

Seeing that the crowd was gradually suppressed by Cao Bianjiao's strength, Xu Changqing hurriedly smiled and said, "Uncle Cao, the brothers have worked hard all night and finally won the battle, so there is no need to be too harsh on the sons." ”

Cao Bianjiao was stunned when he heard this, and for a moment, he suddenly looked at Xu Changqing playfully: "Then, I'll let them continue?" ”

“……”

Xu Changqing really wanted to kick this veteran ruffian off the boat for a while.

This veteran ruffian is really wilting!

After being silent for a while, Xu Changqing didn't dare to tease the old ruffian anymore, and said sincerely: "Uncle Cao, thank you for this!" ”

Cao Bianjiao glanced at Xu Changqing, and after a moment, he said coldly: "It's a good thing to be young and ambitious, but you have to distinguish yourself clearly." You must know that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it! You kid has a clever brain, and you have more eyes for yourself! ”

Xu Changqing couldn't understand that Cao Bianjiao was almost close to his heart's care, and nodded heavily: "Uncle Cao, don't worry." I know what to do. ”

Saying that, Xu Changqing smiled again: "By the way, Uncle Cao, there are still some times when we go back, let's talk about business first, and then we don't have to unload the ship after those goods, so that the sons and daughters can be more light." Wait until we go back and get a good night's sleep, and then we will go to the Green Snake Forest in the evening. ”

Cao Bianjiao just wanted to speak, but rejected Xu Changqing's good intentions, but Xu Changqing didn't give Cao Bianjiao a chance to speak: "Uncle Cao, don't fight with me about this!" If you want to fight with me, then next time, I won't call you anything. If I can't do this, what do Qin Jun's brothers think of me? ”

Cao Bianjiao understood what Xu Changqing meant, and glanced at Xu Changqing angrily: "You are just starting now, and you don't have any military salary, don't rush at the big head, slap your swollen face and become fat." ”

Xu Changqing smiled: "Uncle Cao, do I still use this with your old man?" ”

Between talking and laughing, seeing that the atmosphere was relaxed, Xu Changqing also said his distribution plan.

This time, although the personal soldiers under Cao Bianjiao's command did not contribute too much, and there were almost no casualties, but that kind of effective force, especially the kind of charcoal in the snow, Xu Changqing couldn't help but remember it!

But in terms of population, Xu Changqing will definitely not give Cao Bianjiao, firstly, because Cao Bianjiao is not short of people, when he came to Liaoxi, he brought a lot of people, and secondly, even if these people are given to Cao Bianjiao, Cao Bianjiao has no place to raise.

Therefore, more Xu Changqing is compensating Cao Bianjiao in terms of property.

Xu Changqing's plan was to give Cao Bianjiao 40,000 taels of silver, and Xu Changqing only took the remaining 10,000 taels on his side.

The rest of the war horses, armor, weapons, food, etc., Xu Changqing asked for more.

When Cao Bianjiao heard this, he didn't agree.

Forty thousand taels is too much!

That's cash!

Before this kind of war, how could Cao Bianjiao not know?

But taking advantage of his little nephew like this, Cao Bianjiao really can't do this kind of thing, and the old face can't stand this kind of critical attack.

In the end, after weighing, Cao Bianjiao took 30,000 taels and Xu Changqing took more than 20,000 taels, but all the pro-soldiers who went to fight, including those who were guarding in the Green Snake Forest at this time, Xu Changqing personally gave a subsidy of two taels of silver each.

Many other weapons and materials will be discussed by the two.

Although Cao Bianjiao didn't want to agree yet, he could only agree when he saw that Xu Changqing was resolute.

…

The more than 200 war horses of the Goryeo people, to be honest, are generally incomparable with the best Mongolian horses of the Qing army.

Most of them are hybrids, all of which are relatively short.

However, Cao Bianjiao's eyes are very thief, and he knows these war horses very well, and the endurance of these bantam horses is still good.

It may be disadvantageous to act as an elite cavalry charge, but it is quite good to use it as an auxiliary for the elite night and carry some weapons and materials.

The Qing army actually did the same.

After all, they are not short of horses, but they also know horses better, and the utilization of efficiency is still very high.

Xu Changqing originally wanted to divide it equally with Cao Bianjiao, but Cao Bianjiao only needed fifty horses.

After some disputes, the two reached an agreement, Cao Bianjiao took eighty horses, and the rest belonged to Xu Changqing!

As for the remaining ordnance, weapons, and the like, the two of them divided the account almost fifty-fifty.

But in terms of food material, Cao Bianjiao except for selecting some meat, and the rest went to Xu Changqing.

This veteran ruffian knows very well how difficult it is for Xu Changqing to create a foundation at this time.

Looking at Lao Cao's cold appearance, but it was as warm as fire, Xu Changqing's heart was also a little warm for a while.

This veteran ruffian, he can't talk a word properly.

Perhaps, I can forgive him for the incident with his mother......

…

Back at Shark Island, it was already evening.

In fact, Xu Changqing and his entourage soon returned to the sea area of Pig's Trotter Island and passed the news to both sides, but because of the relationship between waiting for the waves and unloading materials, a lot of time was wasted.

Xu Changqing originally wanted Lao Cao to meet Shark Island with him, which could be regarded as a recognition of the door, and invited Lao Cao to have a meal, rest well, and go back later.

But Cao Bianjiao didn't agree, and got off the boat directly on Pig's Trotter Island and returned to the Green Snake Forest, and all the things about retribution were lost to Xu Changqing.

He had to go back and make amends for what happened yesterday.

Although Xu Changqing was a little helpless about this, he quickly accepted it, he still had a lot of things to be busy with.

After all, things are done, not just lip service!

Whether it is Xu Changqing or Cao Bianjiao in this battle, they have a bumper harvest, and they have a huge confidence that others don't know about!

In the future, when the army goes to the frontal battlefield, it will also have more hole cards than others!

Although Xu Changqing's little butterfly is still insignificant at this time, ~~, as Xu Changqing began to flap his wings, that kind of effect has begun to show!

For appeasing these poor homeless people and slaves, Xu Changqing and his sons were already very experienced at this time.

Chicken soup brainwashing first, coupled with a variety of rich delicacies, the aborigines of the island, imperceptibly, soon let these poor slaves gradually settle down.

However, Xu Changqing understands very well that there are probably some Manchu spies in this!

But Xu Changqing is not in a hurry, and will accept all the orders!

Now if you want to find out this kind of spy, it will definitely not be so easy, but it will easily affect the morale of the military, and the gains will definitely outweigh the losses.

has their own 'divine power' in Shark Island, coupled with the brainwashing of many sons and women and ordinary people, these people can't afford to make waves.

And as long as they dare to show their feet, that is when Xu Changqing concocts them!

…

As the night darkened, many parts of Shark Island were still burning with bonfires, and the crowd around them was laughing and laughing.

Now, because of the abundance of manpower, although the firewood on the island is no longer enough, and it takes twenty or thirty people to go out to find firewood every day, but at this time, it is summer, and the manpower has increased so much at once, and Xu Changqing is no longer stingy.

This kind of warm chicken soup with chicken baptism must be made more thorough!

Let the entire Shark Island, which is already almost 5,000 people, completely in the palm of its own!

Xu Changqing also couldn't help but start looking forward to it, waiting for the support from his mother's side to come over, plus the Li family's side, then~~, his entire strength will definitely go to the next level!

Especially, at this time in the north direction, Ergou, Zhang Long, Zhang Hu, Zhao Qiliang, Wang Hongyang, and Zhang Dagong found several larger islands!

Everything is promising!

The sons and the people cheered, Jin Zijian was also quite comfortable at this time, he was taken care of very well, and finally there was no worry about his life, but ~~, Lu Yingjie and Xiao Jiang's side were a little difficult.

Xiao Jiang was tied up far away at this time, needless to say, Lu Yingjie was brought to Xu Changqing at this time.

At this time, Xu Changqing had already obtained more detailed information about Lu Yingjie by interrogating these Goryeo slaves.

The red bonfire was crackling and burning, and Xu Changqing's handsome face was a little warm, but ~, in Lu Yingjie's eyes, it was like facing a devil!

At this time, Lu Yingjie also knew more about the young general in front of him!

This guy is not only outstanding in strength, means, courage, and strategy, but also has a huge mind that is incomprehensible!

His ambition, Lu Yingjie couldn't guess at all.

"Huh."

At this time, Xu Changqing suddenly smiled: "Xiao Jiang's little miscellaneous is from the rabbit master, right?" You Lu Yingjie is a dignified seven-foot man, and you are sold like this. The crumbs of the ass are forced like this, is it worth it? ”

Seeing that Lu Yingjie didn't speak, Xu Changqing smiled, ignored him, took a sip of the fragrant tea in the cup, stood up directly, and said lightly: "I always thought that in order to gain trust between people, we must lay a good foundation!" Tonight, I'll give you a gift! ”

Saying that, Xu Changqing actually left.

Soon, Lu Yingjie was taken to a large shed in the north of the island, and there were some speechless voices from inside.

When Lu Yingjie was pushed by a few sons and daughters, he came to the side of the shed, and saw the scene inside, and the whole person suddenly froze on the spot!

Xiao Jiang, the traitor and the dog, has begun to return to his most important job......

But at this time, the person who teased him was not Jin Zidian, but his Xiaojiang's ...... Soldiers......
