Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 279 Zhu Wu's Strategy

Chai Lin said, "Sister, what are you doing here?"

"This month, the news of rotten fish from Lishui came. Our village is fishing in large quantities. There are hundreds of fishing boats, hundreds of drying rooms, and a daily output of more than [-] catties. This output is a bit scary. I plan to go over and ask Zhou. Fu, there is no chance, don’t fail to sell, or you will lose your hands.” Chai Xin said.

Chai Lin was also taken aback: "Why are there so many? This fish is easy to catch?"

"You can tell by the name of this fish. It rots away from the water, and it rots away from the water. The fishermen here have never caught this fish for generations. This year is the first time that a fish of one or two hundred catties in one net got up early and went to sea. When I was fishing, I came back after eating a thousand catties out of the water. Look at the black smoke billowing on the beach. It’s all dried fish in the drying room. But this fish news will leave, at most it will It lasts for six or seven days," Chai Xin said.

"Then don't ask, go back and make arrangements. After the fish news is over, you can't catch it again. It's just a good time to accumulate some. What's more, this thing is cheaper than food. Where can I find such a good thing. I'll go after a few days after I'm busy." Find my brother-in-law, I have something to talk to him about." Chailin said.

"Okay, save me asking, I'll go back." Chai Xin said.

Chai Lin led the people along the fast ride, and the horse was soaked from walking. First, it was tired, and second, it was hot.

In the guest room of Shi Jin and others, Chai Lin knocked on the door and said, "Brother Shi Jin is here?"

A handsome young man came out, about 23 or [-] years old, with colorful eyebrows, bright eyes, red lips and white teeth.He is straight and thinner than Wu Song, but handsomer than Wu Song.After experiencing family ruin and death, Shi Jin has matured a lot, with vicissitudes in the corners of his eyes and brows.

Chai Lin guessed that this was Shi Jin, Chen Da and Yang Chun were not so handsome.

Shi Jin was also looking at Chai Lin. He was neatly dressed on a hot day, with an upper-middle figure, a face like a crown jade, and an amiable expression, just like a long-lost brother.Looking at the three big men behind him, one is more majestic than the other, and the other is more powerful than the other. They are really first-class men and heroes.

Chai Lin saluted and said, "But brother Jiuzhilong Shijin?"

Shi Jin returned the salute and said, "It's Shi Jin, may I ask who you are?"

Chai Lin was overjoyed, and said: "Haha, it turns out that it is really Brother Shi Jin. I am the owner of the village, Chai Lin. When I drink with Brother Lu Da, I often talk about you coming, saying that brothers are young heroes, heroic and powerful, and it is true when we meet. "

Shi Jin said: "It turns out to be the owner of Chai Zhuang, please hurry up."

The space for the eight big men to stand in the living room was narrow, and Shi Jin introduced, "Three brothers, this is the owner of Chai Zhuang."

Zhu Wu, Yang Chun, and Chen Da greeted Chai Lin one by one.

The two sides introduced each other, and it was inevitable to exchange pleasantries.

Zhu Wu said: "The three behind my brother are all heroes in this world. Could this Dian Zhengnan be the reincarnation of Dian Wei at the end of Han Dynasty?"

Dian Zhengnan smiled and said, "I'm big, but thin-skinned. I'm not related to Dian Wei, so there may be some relationship, but I don't have a genealogy, and I don't have an inscription, so how can I force myself to recognize it?"

Chai Lin said: "The four of us rushed here as soon as we got off the boat. The water and rice were still dry at noon. Let's go to the inn for dinner and chat while eating."

"Okay, brother." Shi Jin said.

A group of eight people came to the private room and sat down.Chai Lin asked: "Brothers, what do you want to eat? This is my home. You're welcome, just order a dish."

Chen Da said: "The big prawns are still really delicious, the meat is still strong, I'll order a big prawn."

Yang Chun said: "That big crab is really powerful, let's have a plate of crabs."

Shi Jin said, "Just the yellow croaker."

Zhu Wu shook his head and said, "I can't eat these things. Whenever my joints hurt, I'll order fried beans with shredded pork."

Dian Zhengnan likes to eat mutton, and Xie Bao and Liu Tang ordered roast chicken.

Xiao Er first served some grapes and cucumbers as a snack.

Chai Lin said: "The four brothers are able to come here not far away. I am beyond words. Since they are all my own people here, my village is developing quite a lot of industries, and there is a shortage of manpower. I think The three brothers Shi Jin, Chen Da, and Yang Chun are skilled in bow and horse, and want to set up a new light cavalry battalion, with Shi Jin as the chief general and Chen Da and Yang Chun as the deputy generals, how about that?"

Shi Jin was so excited that the watermelon almost fell to the ground. Lin Chong was the leader who was on the same level as his master, and he was the leader when he first came.

Shi Jin said: "I'm waiting for the newcomer, but I haven't made an inch of merit. I'm afraid everyone will not accept it."

Chai Lin said: "Brother Shi Jin, don't bother me. Our township soldiers are actually my private soldiers. I handle all the military pay, equipment, and personnel appointments. There is no complicated relationship. Of course, if Brother Shi Jin can't do it." Alright, when the time comes, I will arrange Brother Shi Jin as the lieutenant general."

Shi Jin said: "Impossible, brother, don't worry, I, Shi Jin, am 100% capable of being the chief general of this light cavalry battalion. I just don't know how Brother Zhu Wu will arrange it?"

Chai Lin said: "In our army, there are many generals and few military divisions. Now there is only one military division in the army, Wu Jialiang. I want to arrange for Mr. Zhu to be the second division division and counselor to the army, okay?"

Zhu Wu said: "Brother Meng values ​​it, and Zhu Wu will definitely work for him. I don't know how far our strength has developed, and what is the short-term task?"

"For now, the development of Cangzhou's rural soldiers has come to an end, and they can no longer develop. There are more than 500 cavalry and infantry, and more than 2000 navy troops. The other miscellaneous ones add up to about 100 people. Commander-in-Chief Among them are Lin Chong, Pang Wanchun, Wu Song, Lu Da, Xie Zhen, etc. Of course, I also have Dian Zhengnan, Jie Bao, Liu Tang, etc. by my side. This year’s tasks are business, land reclamation, and breeding. There is a horse breeder overseas The island is about the size of a county, with a length of more than 60 miles from north to south and a width of more than [-] miles from east to west. Now a large number of people are being transported to develop this place, and it is planned to develop it into a rear island mainly for raising horses and training troops." Chai Lin explain.

Zhu Wudao: "In such a large island, farming is a huge granary, and raising horses can also provide a large number of war horses, but they are used to garrison troops, and the distant water cannot quench their thirst. Once a war breaks out, it takes four or five days to send troops back and forth. Right? It’s just the beginning when we’re transferred to the port, and we still have to continue on our way, so the time is much slower. If you ask me, we have to change the target of the Tibetan soldiers.”

"Oh, what good goals does Mr. Zhu have?" Chailin asked.

Xie Baojian talked about secrets, went to the door to watch, and didn't let anyone get close.

Zhu Wu said: "I have two places for my brother's reference. One is Qingzhou. There are many cottages in Qingzhou. Let's rob or win over. In short, we have to get a cottage. The advantage of Qingzhou is that it is easy to recruit troops, and the disadvantage is that it is difficult to supply , is only suitable for a small amount of troops. The second is to find an island on the Bohai Sea, preferably one that was previously occupied by pirates, and it is enough to station troops. Anyway, it is very convenient to transport food, much more convenient than Qingzhou supply."

No wonder they are called Shenji Military Division. They still have two brushes. They can see the inconvenient place of Raising Ma Island at a glance. It is indeed not easy to be found when stationing troops from such a far away place. But if something happens, wait for it to be transferred back. The day lily is cold.

Qingzhou was originally a very rich place, but the old thief Murong was crippled forcibly, the people were destitute, and thieves were everywhere.

Chai Lin said: "Mr. Zhu is right. Although Qingzhou is bordered by Cangzhou, the taxes and fees in Qingzhou are so high that the caravans dare not go there. How can we supply them? So we don't consider Qingzhou for the time being. There are many islands near Dengzhou. We can choose a few slightly larger islands, pretend to be pirates, and build camps."
