He took off his straw hat, straightened his slightly hunched back, and stepped into the study. The lamp holders in the study were all covered with night pearls, and the room was filled with bright light. He squinted his eyes that were disturbed by the bright colors, and saw the people in the center of the hall. The meaning is very high, Cui Wei, if it is this person, it would not be surprising.
Seeing that her eyes were covered with cloth, he said first, "If you can't see, why is the hall so bright?"
Zhan Changfeng couldn't see, but he could feel that the people who came in had a natural aura. They were actually those with Tao seeds. He stood up and said, "I'm just greeting others. Since Taoist friends are here, please sit down and talk." ."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. This old man is Kong Maozi, the captain of the Seagull." He followed Zhan Changfeng's guidance and sat cross-legged on the opposite side of the desk. "Island owner, don't be ridiculous, this is my real name. At that time, the island was not developed yet and people They were all raised with cheap names. Later, I worked with Zhu Youfu and became somewhat famous on the island, but I was too lazy to change my name."
He mentioned two things in one sentence: "working with Zhu Youfu" and "being somewhat famous", which seemed to be a deliberate attempt to antagonize the new island owner.
However, Zhan Changfeng just said lightly, "Eternal life and destruction, no matter where the noble or low comes from, it is just decided by the person himself, and the name can be recognized by himself."
"Hahaha, you just have to agree on whether it's right or wrong." Kong Maozi sighed again after laughing, and touched his knees with rough fingers. The same rough fabric distracted him, "I also I won’t beat around the bush, in the battle of Hai Clan, seventy-seven people on my ship died.”
"Oh, what a shame." He stood up, stood in the hall, and bowed, "I once led 8,000 people, and now there are 2,452 left, including me, an old man."
"After the naval battle, Zhu Youfu sold the island and left. I had no choice but to distribute the remaining military pay to the families of those who died in the war and dismissed the remaining people. However, there were still 900 people who refused to leave. I guarded the dilapidated station and made a living by catching shrimps and birds. They were all the first ones to rush forward in the battle with the Sea Tribe. They were lucky enough to survive, and I was trapped in the grief of the sacrifice of more than five thousand of my comrades. They are all loyal people."
"I came here with a shy face to ask for a destination for them, and asked the island owner to show me the way." Kong Maozi bent down and bowed to the end, willing to lower his head for those hundreds of people to show his humility.
Zhan Changfeng knew what he said was true. She once asked Zhu Youfu about the naval battle. Kong Maozi led a large ship, two large ships, and more than thirty Mengchong battleships. They were the first to rush up, and suffered the most casualties. It was a tragic, it could be said to be a suicide attack.
Although it was not very rational to fight against the Sea Clan at sea, in order to consume the troops on the island, the Sea Clan used a plan to first let a giant sea beast make waves on the sea, trapping three boats of fishermen and asking them to ask for help from the navy. What I am seeking is Kong Maozi.
At that time, he didn't know what Zhu Youfu had caused on land. He only thought that the sea beast was causing trouble, so he sent a boat out to rescue it. The sea beast was very tenacious, and occasionally shed a little blood to show its fatigue. In the end, in order to completely defeat it, he threw all his All the fighting power was invested in it, but was rounded up by the sea tribe waiting for an opportunity.
Victory or defeat is just a matter of thought.
Zhan Changfeng had no personal experience and could not comment on the battle at that time, but in her opinion, in order to save more than 20 people, he invested five or six thousand people. Even though there were factors induced by sea monsters, it was obvious that he did not judge accurately. out of form and made wrong decisions.
Apart from this failure, Kong Maozi can be regarded as a monk with good moral character. More importantly, he is aware of current affairs.
Whether it was after Zhu Youfu sold the island, he paid for the families of the war dead and dismissed their members, or now he took the initiative to lower his profile and come to her, it shows that he accepted the fact that the island was hers from the beginning, and that the island belonged to her, the former owner of the island. The island army is naturally not the island army.
Either they are recruited or dismissed, otherwise they are jumping in front of the new master with their troops. They are undoubtedly a group of gangsters who need to be cleaned up.
"Why do you have to do this, fellow Taoist?" Zhan Changfeng raised his hand slightly, and a soft force helped him up, "I just want to form a navy battalion, so let's do that, those 900 people will be qualified or have talents in combat. Those who are selected will be given priority to enter the camp, and the rest can work as cooks in the army, or work as handymen or stewards in Yaoyuan Zhenfang and other places. It is not an important position, but it is still a livelihood."
"Thank you, island owner!" Kong Maozi bowed his head again, his hands trembling slightly, hinting at the emotion.
Zhan Changfeng came down and helped him up personally, "Fellow Taoist, this is convenient for you and me. Don't worry about it. It's just that I know nothing about the Navy. I would like to ask you to take up the post of the Navy Yingbodu."
"I'm afraid I'm too old to take on this important task." Kong Maozi refused again and again. That battle was raging in his heart day and night. If he really wanted to die of guilt, how could he still have the energy to take care of the navy.
"Fellow Taoist, victory or defeat is a common thing for a military man. If you are stuck in a defeated battle and cannot get out, how can you be worthy of the dead heroes. Now that the foreign troubles at sea have not been resolved, we need you."
Her voice was calm and cool, but every word fell into his heart. Kong Maozi's eyes were slightly red. He just couldn't get rid of it. The sea carried the honor and disgrace of his half life, and buried his robes that stayed together through thick and thin. How could he be willing to die on the ground far away from it and be buried in soil without water?
"Thanks to the trust of the island owner, I will bring out the navy camp even if I try my best!"
"That's fine, but I have something to say beforehand. Fellow Taoist and the nine hundred soldiers must also consider it carefully. The rules of our army are a bit special. No matter how you come, you must go through the new barracks before it is official. After joining the army, you can enjoy the benefits provided by the Day Clan, and you must also assume your obligations to the Day Clan."
"The Day Clan?" He already knew that the rules of the military camp were a bit different, but he had never heard of the Day Clan.
"Don't get me wrong, this is not a family, it's just a gathering of clans. One of the reasons why I founded the Sun Clan is to use military as the soul and martial arts as the way to cultivate a group of generals and warriors, so fellow Taoists join my army. Even if you join the Day Clan, of course, if you don’t want to, I won’t force you to do so, and it’s the same for you to cooperate with our army in the form of employment.”
Zhan Changfeng likes to make things clear at the beginning and let him choose.
Kong Maozi hesitated for a few breaths, "Of course I am willing, but for the remaining people, I can't make the decision for them. I have to ask their wishes."
"Don't be anxious. I'll have someone explain the rules of the Day Clan to you later, and think about it slowly."
After sending Kong Maozi away, it was almost time to see a man leaning slightly against a pillar next to the dark curtain and asked, "Are you going to add another navy camp?"
"There are 30,000 navy troops. It's difficult to disperse them with just one stick. Let's conquer some people first. Moreover, Kong Maozi is very prestigious in Kongjia Village, and Kongjia Village is one of the indigenous settlements on the island. Let's appease them indirectly." What's more, the navy army can be appeased indirectly. It’s not like only a group of people from the Seagull will enter the camp, and if they do, not all of them may be able to pass the new barracks.
Lianwei also found her magical. She seemed to know everything without leaving home. "It's just that the budget is going to increase again."
Zhan Changfeng rolled up his sleeves and smiled, "At most, I'll just grab it again."
She was calm and relaxed, cracking a joke, and seemed to be back to her previous elegant, gentle, and casual look. Shocked, Lianwei walked quickly to her side, looked at her carefully, and almost made a move. "how are you feeling?"
Why doesn’t the last chapter have a title? It’s because I was trapped in the self-abasement of b and my hands were disabled. It’s good. Now I have collected two b’s.
