Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

This sailor was Qi Biaoqing, who once fought alongside Wei Xiaobao and was known as Qi Laosan.

Wei Xiaobao looked in the direction of the voice and recognized his old friend at a glance. He shouted in surprise: "Qi Biaoqing, Qi Laosan, is it really you? We actually meet again here!"

Qi Lao San nodded excitedly and replied: "Master Wei Xiang, it's me, it's me! I didn't expect that we would meet again in this distant Ryukyu Sea."

The two hugged each other, as if they wanted to put all their years of longing and emotion into this affectionate embrace. Then, Wei Xiaobao asked curiously: "Qi Laosan, why did you come to Ryukyu? And joined the navy?"

Qi Lao San sighed, shook his head helplessly, and began to tell his story. Ever since Wei Xiaobao evacuated from Wu Sangui's palace in Yunnan, Qi Biaoqing had been hiding in the palace as an undercover agent of the Tiandihui.

He knew that his mission was arduous and he needed to remain vigilant at all times to avoid exposing his identity.

However, Emperor Kangxi's strategy was to first conquer internal turmoil and then eliminate external threats, which resulted in the Qingmu Hall of the Tiandihui suffering severe persecution.

Qi Laosan stayed in Yunnan, silently enduring the inner torment and loneliness. He was able to return to the capital only after Wu Sangui was eliminated by Emperor Kangxi.

However, by this time the Tiandihui had been destroyed for a long time, and many of its heroes, including Wei Xiaobao, had been killed.

Qi Laosan had been hiding in the capital for more than a year, living in fear every day. He was eager to find a new way out and cheer up again.

Finally, he decided to go to Wanwan Province to seek refuge with Prince Zheng.

However, the relationship between the Qing court and the Zheng family was tense, and there were often patrolling naval ships from both sides on both sides of the strait. Even smuggling ships had to transit through the Ryukyu Kingdom.

Therefore, Qi Laosan embarked on a journey to the Ryukyu Kingdom.

When he arrived at Shuri Castle in Ryukyu, he saw the prosperity of the land. The streets and alleys in Shuri Castle were bustling with merchants and people of all kinds coming and going in a busy and orderly manner.

Qi Laosan was deeply attracted by this scene and his original plan changed accordingly. He decided to settle down in the Ryukyu Kingdom.

It happened that at this time, the Tiandi Army and Navy were recruiting soldiers, and Qi Laosan signed up without hesitation.

He was full of enthusiasm and wanted to shed his blood on this new land and contribute his strength to the prosperity of the country.

At the same time, Wei Xiaobao also gave a brief introduction to Qi Laosan's situation.

He knew very well that Qi Laosan was an old man with great martial arts skills and rich experience. Therefore, Wei Xiaobao decided to use his intelligent sky eye to check Qi Laosan in order to better understand his strength and ability.

After careful observation, Wei Xiaobao was surprised to find that Qi Laosan's martial arts skills had reached the level of a master. He could not help but admire Qi Laosan's strength and was full of expectations for his future.

So Wei Xiaobao asked curiously, "What do you do on Treasure Ship No. 505 now?"

Qi Lao San replied, "Because I am a little older on the ship, I was assigned to be the cook."

After hearing this, Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He felt that it was a waste of talent for a martial arts master like Qi Laosan to be a cook on a ship.

So, he suggested: "You are so good at martial arts, and you are also an old member of the Tiandihui. It is really not appropriate for you to be a cook here. You can go find Mao Shiba and ask him to arrange a better job for you."

Qi Lao San was stunned when he heard this, and asked doubtfully: "Mao Shiba? Is Brother Mao here too?"

Wei Xiaobao nodded and said, "That's right, Brother Mao is now the commander of the Navy of the Tiandi Army."

After hearing this, Qi Laosan was excited. He didn't expect that his old friend had become such an important person.

He decided to find Mao Shiba to see if he could get a better job opportunity so that he could better exert his strength and contribute more to the cause of the Heaven and Earth Federation.

On the spacious and busy naval port dock, the atmosphere was solemn and dignified. The various troops of the Heaven and Earth Alliance were arranged in an orderly manner. They came from the 1st Brigade, the 2nd Brigade, the 3rd Brigade, the Heavy Artillery Regiment and the three 10,000-man regiments of the Guards.

All the soldiers stood tall and straight, in high spirits, quietly and patiently waiting for Commander-in-Chief Wei's inspection.

At the same time, Yang Lin, commander-in-chief of the Tiandi Army, also accompanied Wei Xiaobao to examine this majestic army together.

Today's Tiandi Army has been completely renewed, and their weapons and equipment have been comprehensively upgraded. It can be said that they have replaced their muskets with cannons and are now fully armed to the teeth.

Each soldier wore a hard steel helmet and a grass-green military uniform, looking capable and neat; a belt tightly tied around the waist made him look more heroic; and thick, big-toed leather shoes on his feet allowed him to stand firmly on the ground.

The most eye-catching thing is the brand new Gew98 Mauser rifle carried on the back of each soldier. It flashes with cold light and reveals a majestic atmosphere.

In addition, the soldiers carried ammunition bags and grenade bags full of bullets on their backs, and sharp bayonets hung around their waists.

At first glance, this outfit makes people feel as if they have traveled back to World War II, and these soldiers in front of them are just like the brave and fearless Chinese soldiers back then.

Brigade commander Xiao You walked up to Wei Xiaobao with an upright and dignified manner, and saluted him in a standard and solemn posture.

Wei Xiaobao nodded in response with a smile and waved his hand to indicate that the other party did not need to be polite.

At present, the 1st Brigade and the 2nd Brigade actually have only two regiments left, but both of them are at the reinforced regiment level - each regiment has four battalions, including three infantry battalions and one artillery battalion; and each regiment has a strength of up to two thousand people!

As for the Third Brigade, it remained fully equipped and staffed. Li Yongjun, who had previously served as the brigade commander, had been transferred to the Guards as the chief political officer, and the current brigade commander was Zheng Bing, the former head of the Seventh Regiment.

After the review, Wei Xiaobao immediately convened all the military commanders of the Tiandi Alliance in the Osumi area for a pre-war meeting.

There were many participants, including not only the commander-in-chief of the Tiandi Army Yang Lin, the commander of the Navy Mao Shiba, the chief political officer of the Imperial Guard Li Yongjun and other senior generals, but also the backbone forces such as the commander of the first brigade Xiao You, the commander of the second brigade Zhang Dahu, and the commander of the third brigade Zheng Bing, in addition to the commander of the Osumi regiment Gao Mu Shangang and the newly appointed commander of the Osaki regiment Osaki Yoshiyasu, the commander of the Andong regiment Yanagawa Keifan, the commander of the Kasai regiment Kasai Haruyoshi and others who also attended the meeting. Of course, in addition to this, the two predecessors, Summoning Spirit and Sword Saint, are naturally indispensable and important figures.
