I’m The King Chapter 954: :Huanghuang Hanwei (seventy-eight)

Penglai Island has a radius of about 60 kilometers and is 30 miles away from the coastline. Because of its good geographical and hydrological conditions, it has always been occupied by pirates and has become the biggest disaster on Qi's coastline. However, since last year, this pirate It seems that they have changed their temperament, changed the banner of the Red Scarf Army, and shouted the slogan of "doing justice for the sky". As soon as the two sides came into contact with each other, the Qi* team discovered that the pirates in their image who would run away when they encountered a regular army were so powerful that they were beyond their expectations. In a short period of time, they were beaten to pieces, Rao'an fell, and the Red Scarf Army set foot on land, and had a land base.

The arrival of the pirates made the local residents panic all day long, but they really had nowhere to go, and the whole country of Qi was caught in the flames of war. After taking Linyi, the Chu army adjusted for a few months. After the new year, they finally attacked again and marched steadily towards Judu. Overwhelmed, regressing step by step, large areas of Judu fell.

And the pirates who changed their flags seem to have changed their temper. After landing, they no longer burned, killed and looted as before, but established a government and issued a notice to calm the people. According to a new policy, the ordinary people in Rao'an found that the Red Scarf Army would not only harm them, but would be a blessing to them. The gentry and landlords were arrested and expelled. They also distributed the land they left behind to the local people without hesitation, and announced their tax collection standards.

The people of Rao'an were pleasantly surprised to find that under the rule of the Red Turban Army, their burden was greatly reduced. The scarf army can firmly guard Rao'an, so that they will no longer pay various and endless taxes to the court.

On Penglai Island, if there are still people from the outer island in the old days, then he will never know this place again. It was built, and the wooden pier extending far into the sea can allow large ships to dock on it. On this pier, the throughput of three to four large ships is always maintained every day, and the continuous flow of ordnance, Supplies are delivered to the island.

And the entire island has been completely transformed. From the pier to the center of the island, a wide road has been built, and horse-drawn carts will continuously transport the materials unloaded from the boat to the rows of warehouses on the island. Among them, and around these warehouses, are rows of wooden houses. On the beach, a large training ground has been opened up, and a large number of newly recruited soldiers are trained here.

If a person who is familiar with the style of the Han army sees the layout of the camp here, he will definitely find it so familiar at a glance. Into the navy blue uniform of the Han army, this pirate army will immediately transform into an out-and-out Han* team.

Hutou held a pole about a foot long in his hand, and walked on the beach with a straight face among the groups of soldiers. These were refugees who had just been recruited. , resulting in a large number of refugees as a by-product. These refugees who have lost their homes and livelihoods can easily join the army as long as they have a bowl of food. In this era, it seems that only the army can guarantee enough food , although life is in danger at any time, it is better to be a hungry ghost than to be a hungry ghost. What's more, even if you don't join the army, your life is at stake.

But the recruitment of the Red Turban Army is obviously not to refuse all comers, but to select the strongest and send them to Penglai Island for further training. Of course, those refugees who were not selected, the Red Turban Army also They were not allowed to go into exile, but they were loaded onto ships and transported away one by one. As for where they went, no one knew.

"Stand straight, who the **** wants to move, don't eat lunch today. You, stand up!" Tiger head roared, and the pole in his hand beat the soldiers' chests and buttocks from time to time. This It is the first lesson for recruits, known as standing in the military posture.

Isn't it just standing for a while! Many recruits who have just participated in the training don't think so. After a pillar stood upright on the beach and remained motionless for an hour, many people's calves began to weaken, their bodies began to hunched, and cold sweat began to break out on their faces. The sun in April was still very peaceful, but this time In the hearts of these soldiers, it was as hot as June.

A soldier shook and fell to the ground. The waiting veterans rushed out and dragged him to the side. Immediately, a waiting doctor came up to do an examination. Such patients are usually collapsed and not No serious problem, drink a little water, take a little rest and you will recover.

From the side of these rookies standing in line, the veterans with spears, knives, and bows and arrows lined up and watched them pass by with a smile. They have also experienced these things a month or earlier. Seeing someone repeating their experience at this moment, it is unavoidable to gloat.

On the other side of the beach, there are straw figures **** with branches, with boards tied to their chests. Soldiers who have been trained in the queue are practicing assassination techniques and lined up neatly. In the sound of orders from the captain or corporal, groups of soldiers shouted and rushed forward, slamming their spears at the straw men in front of them.

Stabbing and retracting are simple movements, but it is difficult to make a team uniform. Occasionally, if a person stabs a little slowly or retracts a little slowly, he is often greeted by the chief of the sentinel and the chiefs like raindrops General twig whipping.

In the forests among the mountains on the island, more outstanding soldiers drawn from the battlefield are undergoing further training. When Bai Yucheng was in the East Army before, he was A veteran who does special missions, even if he is now in command of a large army, this hobby still cannot be changed. Among his troops, the proportion of special forces is far greater than that of other group armies. Although there are not many of these people, but on the battlefield The damage caused by them is often far greater than that of the frontal assault troops.

A large ship slowly approached the pier, and a group of people hurried down. When passing the training ground, one of them raised his head and looked at Hutou and smiled slightly. Hutou couldn't help being startled, but he knew this person , Ye Zhong, the former commander-in-chief of the Southern Group Army, has now been transferred to the Ministry of War to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War. How could he come here?

Scared for a moment, Hutou suddenly thought that Ye Zhong, who is the Minister of the Ministry of War, suddenly arrived at Penglai Island, which must indicate that they will make a big move here. Thinking of this, he suddenly became excited, waving branches , Howled: "You performed well today, and you only lost less than fifty. I am kind, and I will give you half a day off in the afternoon, so that you can have a good time. Tomorrow, the training volume will be doubled."

I heard the first half of the recruits were about to cheer, but the words that followed immediately made the scene mournful, and many soldiers simply lay down on the beach. The buttocks are standing upright, and when this momentum is gone, I only feel sore all over, and there is no half strength left.

However, the training of the Red Scarf Army is quite cruel, but the food is also quite good. Before joining the army, many soldiers have never eaten and drank like this. On the seashore, if fish is not a rare thing at all, then there will be mutton, pork, chicken, duck, etc. for tooth sacrifices every now and then, which is something that I never even dared to think about before.

Even if it's for the rich food, you have to grit your teeth and survive! Besides, here is surrounded by the sea, so even if you want to escape, there is nowhere to escape.

Along the meandering mountain path, passing through the primitive jungle, Ye Zhong climbed to the top of Penglai Island. Here, stands a fortress, which was originally the old nest of the island. There is a It is not a big stone fort. After Bai Yucheng took it, after a long period of expansion, it finally formed a large fort overlooking the whole island.

Hearing that Ye Zhong came in person, Bai Yucheng, who had returned to Penglai Island for inspection, couldn't help being very surprised, and hurriedly brought people out to greet him.

"Bai Houye, long time no see!" Ye Zhong smiled and cupped his hands in salute. The garrison in this fortress was all the special brigade that Bai Yucheng brought out from the Eastern Expedition Army. Ye Zhong didn't worry about anyone prying reveal his true identity.

"Ye Shangshu!" Bai Yucheng bowed his hands and said, "This is the gust of wind that brought you, a big brother, to my place? No wonder the magpies in the woods are chirping in the morning!"

Ye Zhong laughed, "I haven't seen you for almost a year, have you? Bai Hou Ye has become so eloquent, it really is three days away, let's look at it with admiration!"

Bai Yucheng also laughed, "A certain rough man can't afford to be called a scholar, Ye Shangshu, come all the way, the scenery here is not bad, right?"

"Okay, it's really a paradise. It's rare to see it!" Ye Zhong turned around and looked down at the entire Penglai Island. To get up in the morning to **** and farm, to listen to the waves at noon to take a rest, to explore the forest at sunset, to go fishing and drink tea when the moon is shining, what a day like a fairy!"

"When Ye Shangshu lives such a life in the future, you must ask me to be your companion." Bai Yucheng smiled and stretched out his hand, "Ye Shangshu, please."
