Chapter 258: Brother
In the afternoon, Song Xi, who was drunk and smoked, was sent to the South Island Wharf by Li Jing and others to board the ship with the support of two personal soldiers. The 2,000 Dengzhou Unity Soldiers, Zhizhou Soldiers, and Longshan Battalion Soldiers who came with them returned together. Rushing at dawn, everyone thought there was going to be a fierce battle. But as a result, when they came, they found that there was nothing to do with them here, and everything was handled by Shamen Town itself.
Feng Zhang and Feng Xun died, and the once arrogant Da Xie Bing was completely defeated, and his backbone was removed, and now it has become a plate of panicked scattered sand.
But they didn't come in vain, Li Jing is still very good at doing things, everyone just rushed to the road and didn't do anything. As a result, each person also got five rewards, and they were also entertained with good wine and meat. It's a full 5,000 yuan, and at today's rice prices, you can buy a stone of good rice. If you change it to corn with some chaff, you can buy two stones, enough for the family to save three months. After running like this, he earned almost two months' salary, Li Jing is really bold. It's no wonder that they participated in the training of the unity camp with them at the beginning, but now that they have become deputy soldiers, they are still just unity soldiers.
However, I heard that the reward here in Shamen Town is heavier, and each soldier has received a reward of at least more than 10,000 yuan. I heard that there was a prisoner of war from Liaodong in Shamen Town last night, and one person in Dog Day actually killed thirty-seven Da Xie soldiers, including five captains, three gang commanders, and a team leader, plus a general. On dog days, it is said that even Li Jing personally received the donkey ball, not only pardoned him on the spot as a prisoner of war and gave him freedom, but also gave him a huge reward of 600,000 yuan. The donkey ball that was so far away actually said that there was no reward. I just hope to reward him with a house in Shamen Town. And sent someone to help him bring his family. He is also willing to remain in the army.
"Then did Li Yanei promise him?" A group of solidarity soldiers waiting on the dock to board the ship was listening to the boasting and sighing of a well-informed group leader, and a young solidarity soldier couldn't help but ask.
"When he encountered such a stupid ball, of course Li Yanei agreed. Listening to my fellow countryman, Li Yanei promoted the donkey ball called Li Asan or Li Asi to be the leader of the gang on the spot. In addition, the reward was 600 yuan, and a set of iron armor and a longbow were also given. I heard that Li Yanei saw that Li Asan was wearing a pair of straw sandals, and immediately rewarded him with two pairs of boots that Mrs. Li helped him take. Now this lucky donkey ball has also got a big seagrass house in the city of Shamen Town, and Li Yanei also sent someone to Liaodong to pick up his family. Donkey ball stuff is so lucky. The gang leader couldn't help but scold. He is also the captain, but the situation is too different. He is now in the United Army, and he does not even have a formal salary, only a quarter-long allowance of two times a month, plus two liters of rations a day. Even the equipment of these things was bought with money from his own village. The six donkeys in their gang had to pay for their own forage every month, and the camp only gave half of the money every month.
Many of the unity soldiers next to him were full of sighs and envy, envious of Li Asan's good luck. But he also sighed at the bravery of this man, a prisoner of war Sanga. Thirty-seven enemy soldiers were shot in one night, and it was not a fucking person.
"Guy, your fellow must be doing well with Li Yanei now."
The gang leader immediately said very proudly: "Of course, my fellow villager happened to be in Li Yanei's team at the beginning, since then he has followed Li Yanei to the present, and now he is the deputy team leader, and their team made a lot of achievements last night, and it is estimated that they can be promoted to the head of the team when they turn around." He had just divided a set of three-entry houses in the town a few days ago, and he was sending people back to his hometown to bring his father, mother, and brothers. He now has nearly 100 brothers under his control, and his monthly salary and allowance are about ten dollars. Not counting the reward for fighting and suppressing bandits, as far as his daughter-in-law knows no, she turned out to be just a yellow-faced woman who farmed in the countryside, but now she is mixed with a small housekeeper in the workshop, and she can get five yuan a month. β
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh: "You don't know what to do, just now my fellow brought his daughter-in-law to send some food, good guy, dressed like the official's wife, how can you look like our country's wife." His head was full of pearls and green, and he was almost unrecognizable. The two children have now entered the school to learn literacy and literature with Mr., and it is said that even Li Yanei often goes to give them lectures. The two lucky boys, now they are both protΓ©gΓ©s of the Yanei, and their future will definitely be better than his father's in the future. β
Several of the united soldiers were full of yearning, and one of them said: "Captain, then you didn't ask your fellow villagers to find a way to transfer you to Shamen Town." Look at this Shamen town army, each of them is divided into a pig and two sheep, and each person has two catties of wine. I've heard that this isn't just for celebrations. It is said that in normal times, their food standard is one pig every two days. Good guys, there are 200 people each, and after calculation, they can eat about half a catty of meat every day. You see, we only eat meat once a month, and each person only eats five or six pieces, and the rest can only be drunk with soup, which can't be compared at all. β
The captain looked up at the left and right, and said softly, "Yes, which one will not say." However, my fellow villager said that there are many soldiers in Shamen Town now, and it is easy not to recruit soldiers, and they all have to be the kind of brave and unparalleled, if they can't lift a stone burden of 300 catties, can't open a strong bow with a stone, and can't shoot a target 60 steps away, don't want it at all. You don't know what to do, and now you want to be a soldier in Shamen Town, and many of the children of the officers in Shamen Town can't squeeze in when their heads are broken. However, my fellow also said that he would help me watch, and recommend me to Lu Shangtou whenever he had the opportunity, so that I could wait quietly. β
Hearing that the gang leader had such an opportunity, a group of people were full of envy. "Captain, if you enter Shamen Town, then you have to think about our brothers in the future, and if you have the opportunity, you can also recommend us and take us into the Shamen Town Army."
The team leader fully enjoyed everyone's request, smiled and squinted his eyes and said: "You want to get it, you want to get it, but the Shamen Town Army doesn't want to be a fool of the goods, if you want to enter, you still have to practice your skills." As he spoke, the leader of the team on the dock shouted to them and summoned them to the boat. The captain got up and patted his buttocks, glanced at the hunting flag in Shamen Town on the dock with nostalgia, and reluctantly took his group of brothers on the boat.
There are many people who think the same way as this group of soldiers, almost more than 2,000 people who came this time. Each has such an idea. The treatment of the Salmen Town Army is too good. It's so good that they blush. But the Shamen Town Army is too difficult to enter now. I heard that there are assessments every week, battalion-level assessments every half month, and an army-wide assessment every month. Those who do well in the assessment can be promoted, but if they do not do well in the assessment, those who fail the three consecutive battalion assessments will be demoted, from officers to soldiers, and even from the main battalion to the logistics battalion. And if they fail to pass the all-army assessment for three consecutive months, they will be placed on probation. Those who fail in half a year will be expelled from the army.
After hearing about the many strict rules of Shamen Town, many veterans couldn't help but dispel the idea of entering Shamen Town. They have been mixed up for too long, and they can't adapt to the vigorous atmosphere of Salmon Town.
On the dock, Li Jing and a group of officers stood and watched as Megan and the ships of the Zhenhai battalion escorted the reinforcements back. Although he occupied Da Xie Yan first, and now he has successfully sent Song Xi back to Dengzhou, Li Jing understands. It is not so easy for him to really control this territory. Even Song Wen, who is now on the same side as him, will not be willing to see him easily occupy this fat and oily territory.
But no matter what. At least this is the first step, and the most crucial one. He's made a successful step. Da Xie Yan has been actually controlled by him, so what if Song Wen and the others refuse to admit it. He expected that at most, Song Wen might not give him the title of soldier and horse envoy, and send a soldier and horse envoy down at that time. But then he was not worried, he also knew that he was not qualified enough now. However, as long as he has soldiers in his hands and actually controls Da Xie Yan, then no matter who comes, he can put him in the air.
"Let's go back, send Song Xi away, and we will continue to hold a banquet to welcome Li Lingfu's arrival."
Li Jing smiled and said, It's really you who sang and I appeared, he had already obtained Li Lingfu's detailed results from Li Wei. The combined fleet was almost completely annihilated, and although there were still about 2,000 people left, there was no threat at all with such a small number of people and a combined fleet of more than a dozen ships. If you want to restore your previous strength, even with the money and strength of Duli Town, it will not be possible in a year or two.
Without the Combined Fleet, Duli Town, it is a big undefended piece of fat in front of you.
Anyone who sees it can't help but be moved and want to take a bite.
Da Xie Yan has basically taken control, and now it is time for Li Jing to have the ability to set his sights on Duli Town.
In the hall of the Soldier and Horse Envoy's Palace, the remnants of the banquet just now were withdrawn, and the cooks of the logistics camp immediately began to cook the dishes, and the maids and slaves began to serve the food and wine like butterflies wearing flowers.
Li Jing personally greeted the officers and soldiers of the Nutao Battalion such as Whitebeard who had returned from victory at the wharf, as well as Li Lingfu and his son from Qingnipu who came from afar to help.
"Brother Ji Yu, the combined fleet of Duli Town has been destroyed, why don't we take this opportunity to kill the door and directly take Duli Town." As soon as Li Lingfu met, he immediately said in a loud voice: "Conquer Duli Town, the city territory belongs to me, and all the population and money belong to you, how about it?" β
I have to say, this is a very tempting proposition. However, without the slightest consideration, Li Jing vetoed this proposal in his heart. Although the fleet of Duli Town is gone, there are still more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Duli Town. What's more, Duli Town is the largest city in eastern Liaodong, with a permanent population of more than 200,000 in the city, plus the continuous flow of businessmen, adding up to 300,000 or 400,000 people. What's more, this is the power controlled by the richest people, and it is not easy to beat them.
"Brother Zhongmou, the brothers have returned victorious, and now is the time to be tired. Why don't you let the brothers relax, take off their armor, put down their swords, drink a few glasses of wine, eat a few large pieces of barbecue, and regain their spirits first? Li Jing took Li Lufu's arm and smiled: "Our brothers also have to drink a few glasses, I have already asked people to prepare the best Wuliang jade liquid in the wine shop, let's celebrate this victory today, drink happily, how about discussing him later?" β
"It's okay, then eat and drink well first, and we'll talk about it later." Li Lingfu didn't insist much, and also held Li Jing's hand at the moment, and the two walked into the hall hand in hand. For Li Lingfu's visit to help, Li Jing is sincerely grateful. Although there is no Li Lingfu coming, the results of Shamen Town will not change much, at most, it will not be able to annihilate the fleet of Duli Town. But in any case, Li Jing sent a letter to Li Lingfu, only informing him of the movements of the Duli Town fleet, and did not directly ask him to send troops to help. But he still came without hesitation, and this pride and righteousness cannot be ignored. In the current situation, Li Jing cherishes such an ally.
"Come, I, the soldiers of Shamen Town, let's first get up and give a toast to General Li Lingfu's righteous courage and lead the troops to come to the aid to express our gratitude! I'll do it first! Li Jing leaned his neck and dried it up, this time he didn't use fruit wine instead, but really drank a cup of fifty-two degrees of five-grain jade liquid in one go. The wine entered his throat and burned like a fire, but it made Li Jing more and more happy. In the troubled times, full of deceit, it is rare to meet a trustworthy friend.
Really calculated, Cui Yunqing, Yu Xuan, and Li Xiao can be counted as half, because behind the friendship between teachers and students, there are actually a lot of interests. They can be regarded as similar to Lin Wei and Wang Chong Lin Wu, but now that Shamen Town is getting stronger, Li Jing and them are both close to each other, but the feelings of several people are not as pure as when they first got acquainted, and there is a distance between the upper and lower levels.
At present, he met Li Lingfu, a man who was admired by Li Jing, and now he is quite righteous, which makes Li Jing feel very excited. The relationship with Qingnipu was purely for profit at the beginning, and he wanted to find a trade partner and an ally to help him contain the town of Duli. But he never thought that this covenant was more precious and heavy than he expected.
"It's done!" Li Lingfu didn't say a word, and drank it all quite boldly. As soon as the bottom of the cup was lit up, Li Lingfu smiled and said: "General Ji Yu did a beautiful job this time, and he made a clever plan to win a thousand miles." This made the elder brother admire, and the two dogs questioned the elder brother's arrangement at first, but now, they are completely convinced. Come, Juyi, Juli, come forward to salute General Ji Yu and call uncle! β
"Juyi, Juli, I've seen my uncle!" The two brothers were not polite, and when they came to Li Jing's seat, they knelt down directly, made a big salute, and called their uncle.
Li Jing was stunned for a moment, he was about the same age as the two brothers, but now he was called uncle. And there is no adult added at the end, which is a very respectful term, and it is generally used for fathers and close relatives. In addition to being shocked, he looked at Li Lingfu, his eyes made contact instantly, and Li Jing suddenly understood that Li Lingfu was getting closer to him. His two sons call him so, then he and Li Lingfu are brothers.
If there is something wrong with the brothers in the future, how can Li Jing not help! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
