Li Bao said with a ruthless look on his face: "I won't accept anyone in this world, so I will accept the champion. Stop being so careless and fight if you want!"
Li Jun saw Li Bao's bravery, and with Zheng He, Xu Sheng and others holding down the formation, Liang Shanshui's army was almost within the artillery fire range of Le'an Water Village, he curled his lips and clasped his fists and said: "Since brothers are passing by to get food, this matter has to be solved." Treat the rivers and lakes as an emergency, the mountains will remain green and the waters will flow forever, we will see you in the future!"
Li Bao's hands and feet were already a little numb at this time, and there were faint signs of weakness. Otherwise, with his temperament, he would not give up so easily, so he clasped his fists at Li Jun and jumped onto the Ten Thousand Bones Demon Ship.
Li Jun took the warship back to Liangshan Water Village, while Li Bao paid tribute to the generals.
Looking at the Night Emperor and Zheng He standing in the middle, Li Bao clasped his fists and said: "The last general Li Bao pays homage to the Commander-in-Chief Ye Emperor and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zheng! On the order of the lord, I came here to report from the navy!"
The Night Emperor came over and praised Li Bao repeatedly: "General Li is truly brave and brave, and his reputation as the Overlord of the Sea is well-deserved!"
Li Bao's face turned red. This time he wanted to have his magic soldiers descend from heaven, seize the Liangshan water bandit warship, and then fly away to hide his merit and fame.
Unexpectedly, he was almost besieged by Liangshanshui bandits. If the three heroes of the Ruan family who came later joined the battlefield again, he would never return today, and he would still have to rely on Zheng He to help him out.
Li Bao has been traversing the rivers and seas all his life, and he almost capsized in the gutter. When he heard the Night Emperor's compliment, Li Bao waved his hands repeatedly.
"General Li has spent his entire life in the military. He should have known that entering the army without authorization is a violation of military law!" Zheng He was not as easy to talk to as the Night Emperor.
This Li Bao is obviously a thorn in the side. If he doesn't kill his majesty, I don't know what trouble he will cause in the future.
Li Bao scratched his head and said: "That Master Zheng! My lord asked me to join the navy, but I haven't reported to you just now, which means that I am not a member of the navy, so as a white man, I saw Liang Shanshui The bandits bullied the people of Le'an, and they drew their swords to help out of anger. Doesn't this violate military orders? I'm a rough guy, and I haven't read a book, so don't lie to me!" Li Bao's eyes widened with an innocent look on his face.
Zheng He was very angry at this guy. This guy was obviously playing a side game. He must be familiar with military law. He could memorize military regulations better than anyone. He pretended to be a big boss. It was so shameless!
"General Li is right! Besides, this time we severely damaged the Liangshan water bandits and captured an iron-clad loach boat intact. This is a great achievement! Let this matter be settled like this. I will write to the lord now. Please give me a book and commend General Li!" The Emperor of the Night was so happy when he saw such a divine general joining his command and capturing a huge ship, how could he have the heart to punish Li Bao.
Li Baomei smiled happily and said: "This giant ship is just a gift from the general to everyone. It doesn't matter if it shows merit or not. The Liangshan water bandits opposite have so many giant ships, especially the golden-armored loach ship. Excellent, when will we take him away together!"
Li Bao was full of gangster spirit and quickly became involved with Ye Huang and others.
Seeing Li Bao and the generals laughing and talking, Zheng He sighed secretly in his heart. If the navy wants to develop and grow in the future, it must get rid of its bandit spirit. They must form an organization, enforce orders and prohibitions, and have military law as a mountain, instead of being scattered soldiers. This bandit atmosphere cannot be encouraged.
"Li Bao obeys the order!" Zheng He suddenly took out his command flag and shouted. Li Bao was shocked and gave Zheng He a military salute.
Zheng He said: "I now appoint you as the deputy commander of the Weihai Battalion, responsible for the establishment and daily training of the Weihai Battalion! And assign the armored loach boat captured today to the Weihai Battalion. You must be proficient in commanding the armored boat within half a month. Loach boats enter the battle!”
Li Bao cupped his fists and accepted the order. As the chief naval officer of the Southern Song Dynasty, he was very familiar with the iron-clad loach boats that appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Moreover, because the Southern Song Dynasty had several large-scale naval battles with the Jin soldiers, water warfare technology and shipbuilding technology were much ahead of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was still comfortable commanding troops to fight in loach boats.
Zheng He restructured the entire naval force and established the Zhenhai Camp and Weihai Camp. They followed the elite route. Each battalion had 50,000 naval troops. The Zhenhai Camp was commanded by the Emperor of the Night and had Xu Sheng, Hu Sha, Chen Zhong, Mu Drum et al.
The Weihai camp was commanded by Zheng He, and there were Li Bao, Qin Jiyong, Ya Kun and others sitting there.
Zheng He continued: "Last night, Lord Manchong, the governor of Le'an County, issued the strategic order of iron wall encirclement. Our two naval forces, Zhenhai and Weihai, will join forces with the navy from Yanhuang City, which will soon enter Le'an, to contain Liangshan." The water bandits were led by Lord Manchong, Liu Pi, Sun Li and other generals to form infantry, responsible for the defense of important checkpoints. General Ji Zong has led 20,000 Netherworld Wolf Cavalry troops and General Qianzhao has led 100,000 Crows from the Karasuma Clan. The Maru Rangers are responsible for mopping up the remaining bandits in the territory, and the most important goal now is to restore public order in the five counties in our hands, and to settle the three million Karasuma tribesmen who migrated from Youzhou as soon as possible!"
As he spoke, Zheng He took out a water system map of Le'an County from his arms and said: "Le'an County has a well-developed water system, and many water systems are connected to the ocean. In recent years, due to the civil war, in addition to the Liangshan water bandits, there are also many separate water systems. Bandits and pirates, so our two major naval forces have a very wide range of defenses. Many of our warships are converted from fishing boats. Their operation speed is slow and their attack power is weak. They cannot effectively respond to the enemy quickly. Therefore, the most important thing now is to surround Wan Gu. The magic ship and the armored loach ship formulate strategies to train a formal and comprehensive naval force, so there must be sailors, helmsmen, gunners and well-trained naval forces who work together! Zhenhai and Weihai must be trained formally! "
The Night Emperor, Li Bao and others looked solemn. Although Zheng He usually looked a bit frail and bookish, at this time he showed a domineering air.
Zheng He began to explain the strategic plan of deploying the navy from the perspective of the right time, right place and right people. As the battle-hardened Night Emperor and Li Bao, the more they listened, the more they admired him.
…
In Liangshan Water Village, Li Jun stood on the bow of the boat, and Tong Meng had a white cloth wrapped around his chest. Both brothers were injured in the battle.
Tong Meng said angrily: "That birdman is already showing signs of fatigue. Brother, why don't we take the opportunity to kill him and let him join the Le'an Navy? Wouldn't it be like letting the tiger go home!"
Li Jun smiled nonchalantly and said: "Do you really think he came to defect in the name of Mu Qin Ge? This man must be a strongman recruited by Qin Ge, and you are confident that you can kill him! And that Zheng He , Xu Sheng was plundering the formation aside, isn't this their trick! Just try your best on some things, do we have to fight to the death with Qin Ge! So what if the entire Le'an navy is destroyed, this place will be plunged into endless war, It will be the innocent people who will suffer, and we brothers are all from lower classes. From Qin Ge’s deeds, I hope he can bring stability to this chaotic world!"
The Tong brothers fell into silence after hearing this, but Li Jun said with a flash of light in his eyes: "Although Liang Yuan is not a place where we can stay for a long time, the navy of this champion is getting stronger and stronger, and our life will become more and more difficult." Got it!"
Just then San Ruan and the Zhang brothers came to the boat. At this time, the eyes of the five people looking at Li Jun changed. Even Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhang Heng, who had always been unhappy, lowered their heads.
This is absolute strength that brings absolute prestige.
They had always thought that Li Jun was a flatterer who became the leader of the navy by flattering Song Jiang. Unexpectedly, he had been hiding his clumsiness. Only today did they realize how big the gap in strength between them and Li Jun was.
San Ruan stood aside silently, while Zhang Shun knelt on the ground with a plop and said: "Brother Li! Thank you for your help this time, otherwise our brothers may have perished!"
Zhang Heng was a little weak at this time, but he was not as arrogant as before, and he hugged Li Jun with a fist.
"Brother Zhang Shun! You have always had a good relationship with Brother Song. I can't make the decision on this matter today. You should report to Brother Song personally!" Because Zhang Heng did not obey the command, he let the warship approach Le'an Water Village arbitrarily.
As a result, they were attacked by Li Bao. Not only did his men suffer heavy injuries, but they also lost their iron-clad loach boat.
This was too great a loss for the Liang Shanshui Army, and it was more than enough to kill him according to the Liangshan military law. However, Li Jun was obviously unwilling to offend the Zhang brothers, so he handed the ball to Song Jiang's confidant Zhang Shun.
The Ruan brothers have always been suppressed by Zhang Heng. They often provoke Song Jiang based on his favor. How could they let go of such an opportunity to add insult to injury.
Ruan Xiaoqi, who is outspoken and outspoken, said with disdain: "Commander Li, such a big crime can be wiped out in one stroke just because he is Brother Song's confidant. Aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of the brothers?"
Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu pulled Ruan Xiaoqi, but Ruan Xiaoqi had an upright personality and fired directly at Zhang Heng.
The Zhang brothers kept their heads down and said nothing. Seeing that Shui Jun's face was about to be torn apart, Li Jun said to Xini, "Since Brother Xiao Qi said this, I will make it clear! The Ruan brothers are The elders of the navy, the Zhang brothers are the confidants of the eldest brother. The Liangshan navy has three pillars, and everyone does not offend the river. I believe Brother Song will handle the punishment of Brother Zhang Heng impartially. Of course, as the nominal leader, I will also It’s hard to escape the blame, brother Zhang Shun, you can report my dereliction of duty to Brother Song!”
"However! Now the combat effectiveness of Le'an County's navy is getting stronger and stronger. Our brothers in the navy are both prosperous and devastated. I hope that you can unite as one and at least focus on the outside world. If we continue to fight and fight internally, I am afraid that our navy will suffer We are not far from destruction!" Li Jun's expression suddenly became solemn, and he faintly released a terrifying power.
The Ruan brothers and Zhang brothers bowed their heads and clasped their fists in response.
…
In Le'an County, in a shallow water village, the flames of war are still raging. Man Chong, dressed in military uniform, is rolling up a bandit flag and wiping the sword in his hand.
At this time, Liu Pi and Sun Li were cleaning the battlefield covered in blood. Just now, Man Chong led an army of 100,000 infantry to capture this water stronghold that was causing trouble for one side.
There are nearly tens of thousands of bandits occupying the water village here, and even people from nearby towns and villages secretly become bandits and gather here to plunder everywhere.
When the new official Man Chong takes office, he wants to attack the famous bandit village in Le'an County to establish the prestige of the government.
Now this water stronghold that was causing trouble was finally destroyed, 50,000 bandits were killed, a large number of bandits and civilians who participated in bandit activities were captured, and all the heinous bandit leaders were beheaded, which was used in troubled times.
Man Chong wants to set an example for this chaotic Le'an County.
Nowadays, the Liangshan water bandits in Le'an County are rampant, and the mountain bandits in Jieyang Town are dominating. With the help of the Liangshan water bandits, the various gangsters and thieves who used to be divided into one side are even more rampant.
The entire Le'an County is full of bandits, and Qin Ge plans to settle more than three million Wuwan tribesmen who have migrated to Le'an.
The Karasuma tribe is not as close to the Central Plains culture as the Baekje tribe, so the conflict in cultural customs and habits is very serious.
