Pang Zhongqi glanced at several other people and then said: "Back to the young marshal, there are indeed such people! But not many, and they only complained a few times, and no one said that the young marshal is unkind!"
Liu Haojia saw that the expressions on the faces of several other people seemed to relax a little, and he guessed that there were quite a few people scolding him! But he didn't care. As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as things are carried out, everyone will gradually accept it!
He will not relax in terms of military discipline anyway! Especially since the sea is a lawless place. If he dares to relax an inch, he will dare to relax a foot! In the end, the entire fleet will become a large pirate gang! The higher the combat effectiveness of such a pirate gang, the more destructive it will be!
Then he asked Li Wenliang: "How is the identification of the captured prisoners going?"
Li Wenliang said: "Back to you, Marshal, the interrogation has almost finished! All the pirate leaders who were hidden among the gang have been imprisoned separately, and the hardcore ones who committed the most heinous crimes are also being imprisoned separately. The others are being fed with one meal a day, and they are all honest. It’s incredible.”
Liu Haojia said: "Very good, be careful not to let them die. It's not the time for them to die yet!"
Then Liu Haojia briefly asked about the affairs of the fleet. Fortunately, he left not long ago and nothing happened. At the end he said: "Now you have two things to prepare. The first thing is to go back and tell all the soldiers that the distribution of the spoils this time will be distributed directly after the goods are sold in Quanzhou! The second thing is, That is to select a soldier from each ship, arrange them on the three fastest sailing boats, and ask them to go to Quanzhou to report that the officer is about to arrive. However, before they set off, the officer will personally lecture them. There’s something for them to do.”
Although everyone didn't know what Liu Haojia was planning, they still happily agreed. After all, everyone likes to see things like dividing money. As for what the purpose of beating people up is, I’ll probably figure it out soon. There was no resistance from everyone. Instead, they all sent the smartest people on their respective ships.
When the people on the three ships were gathered together, Liu Haojia led someone to carry three boxes of silver and said to the three temporarily assigned captains: "This time you must rush to Quanzhou as quickly as possible to convey the news of my upcoming arrival. Then let What you do is very simple, just go to the places where navy soldiers often hang out, eat and drink, play for money, or even visit the brothels! I will give you all the money!"
The three captains were all surprised when they heard the news! I have only heard of Shangguan sending his subordinates to die, but I have never seen anyone arranging such a beautiful thing! But the silver that opened the three boxes of lids couldn't be faked, so they agreed with surprise on their faces.
Liu Haojia continued: "What you have to do is talk more, let these people hear your northern accent, and when others talk to you, tell us about our double salary, and then boast about your daily life." How much better than before! In a word, let them in the Southern Navy know that our life in the Northern Navy is much better than theirs, do you understand?"
When the three captains heard that it was such a simple task, they nodded to express their understanding. Liu Haojia waved his hand and said: "Each carry the silver back to the ship and distribute it to the brothers, so that they can work hard!"
The three captains led people to carry the silver box back to the ship, which immediately caused a sensation on the ship! Especially when they heard that they were ordered to spend money, the soldiers were so excited! Without saying a word, they raised the sail, lowered the oars, and sailed towards Quanzhou with all their might, fearing that Shangguan would change his mind!
Of course Liu Haojia did this to encourage the soldiers of the Quanzhou Navy, but more importantly, he wanted these soldiers to bring the desolate look of the Quanzhou Navy soldiers back to their respective ships, so that all the soldiers knew that he, the young marshal, was theirs Saviour, and thus be loyal to Him!
Liu Haojia then commanded the fleet to move slowly, while conducting daily drills to speed up the integration of the fleet. And just in the past few days, people in Quanzhou have been in a state of chaos!
Liu Haojia sent three clippers to report the letter. After they finished delivering the letter, they were dissatisfied with the orders and dispersed to eat and drink everywhere! After more than two months at sea, life was already very difficult. Now that they have landed on land and the young marshal has paid extra money, these soldiers will naturally not treat him badly!
Every time we eat and drink, we are always served with good wine and good food. Soldiers who go to casinos and engage in prostitution also spend money like water, which makes the local soldiers drool with envy!
The soldiers coming from the north have already attracted much attention, and the way they spend money lavishly seems to prove the fact that they are well paid! So some soldiers had the courage to step forward and ask for the truth. The soldiers who received the order naturally boasted about their lives, which made the soldiers of the Quanzhou Navy feel that they had a good boss! So their impression of Liu Haojia changed from being indifferent to hoping that the young marshal would come and rescue us soon!
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison! After the soldiers learned about the situation of the Northern Navy, they naturally complained privately. Some particularly impulsive soldiers even had conflicts with their superiors and were beaten directly! This only made the soldiers even more excited!
Now the entire lower-level soldiers of the Quanzhou Navy are looking forward to the young commander's arrival as soon as possible so that they can implement the double pay issue. But the upper-level officers turned a deaf ear to the soldiers' reactions! Anyway, in their opinion, these soldiers have nowhere to make a living after leaving the Navy, and they can't cause much trouble!
In the afternoon three days later, Liu Haojia's fleet assembled in a mighty manner off the coast of Quanzhou, which excited the people of Quanzhou! Although they also have a local navy, it has never been fully mobilized, so many people came to the coast to watch the excitement.
Once a position was allocated at the Quanzhou pier, ships from the fleet were divided and slowly moved towards the pier. At this time, the dock was already filled with naval officers of all sizes. The current general is wearing armor, has a burly figure, and has three strands of long beard scattered on his chest. He is somewhat similar to Guan Gong in the portrait! This person is Zhou Jianan, the commander-in-chief of the Quanzhou Navy!
Zhou Jianan felt very unhappy when he looked at the fleet in front of him! Because he had already received a transfer order from the imperial court, asking him to hand over his position as chief executive and return to Beijing for another appointment!
To be honest, he himself has no nostalgia for the Quanzhou Navy. Because he has never had a good day sitting in this position!
