Chapter 387
On the second day, after breakfast, Zhao Zhen and Wu Yong invited brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng as well as Fan Rui, Li Gun and Xiang Chong. After seeing the ceremony, Zhao Zhen said: "Yesterday, the Tong family brothers decided to go to Ruan Xiaowu and Ouyang Shoutong brothers to serve as governors in the army. Today, I called Fan Rui brother here to decide on a job. I wonder if the three brothers have any ideas. ?”
Fan Rui said: “We sincerely come to vote for the senior official and ask him to arrange it.”
Zhao Zhen said: “Brother Fan Rui, you are a wise man, and there are two in the county. A good man, one is called "Ruyunlong" Gongsun Sheng, and the other is "Huanmojun" Qiao Daoqing. They are both practicing Taoism at Tianqi Temple in Liangshan. They practice alchemy and Taoism on weekdays. They only accompany the army and serve as counselors in military aircraft when necessary. Go to Tianqi Temple to practice Taoism or become a battalion commander in the army?"
Fan Rui said: "But Mr. Yiqing?"
Zhao Zhen nodded.
Fan Rui said: "I also went to Erxian Mountain Zixu Temple to learn Taoism. Unfortunately, Master Luo refused to see me because my earthly relationship was not over. Now it would be best to ask Mr. Yiqing for advice."< br>
Zhao Zhen said: "If this is the case, I am going to invite five brothers to visit various places in Liangshan today. I will send someone to talk to my senior brother Gongsun Sheng first so that he can make preparations."
Fan Rui said: "Listening to the tone of the high officials, do they also have Taoism?"
"Senior Brother Gongsun saw that I have some Taoism and taught me some methods. I told Master Luo a few days ago, now He is regarded as a registered disciple of Master Luo, and is taught by Senior Brother Yiqing," Zhao Zhen said. With that said, Zhao Zhen looked at Li Gun and Xiang Chong.
Li Gun and Xiang Chong looked at each other and said, "Master, at yesterday's banquet, we had a great chat with Bao Xu and Yan Shude, and we would like to serve as a small school in their army."
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "I see that there are many strong men under your original subordinates, especially those 500 gun swordsmen and 500 regiment card players. It is a pity that they are scattered in all directions. The military advisor and I After some discussion, all these thousand soldiers were retained and combined with the original 300 Pu Dao soldiers and 200 [Chongfengdu], with Jiao Ting as the commander, Bao Xu and Yan Shude as the capital Yuhou, and you two. He was appointed as the commander of the battalion, and the remaining sergeants were also distributed in various places. The family members who came with them were all sent to Shanglaozhuang Township. The population here is sparse and they can be resettled. What do the three brothers think? "
Fan Rui, Li Gun and Xiang Chong were all happy after hearing this.

Zhao Zhen said: "Whenever a hero comes to my place, in addition to a spiritual fish and a few silver coins, each of them will also have a tailor-made weapon. It is my wish. I will call five brothers over today. , come with me to the Ordnance Inspector first. Tang Long, the [Golden Leopard] whom we met yesterday, has been waiting for a long time.”
With that said, everyone went to the military prison and each stated their requirements. When Li Gun and Xiang Chong talked about their shields, Zhao Zhen said: "Brothers, I have a few first-level shields here. You two Let’s take a look, can we use it?”
As he said that, Zhao Zhen took two [Soul-Absorbing Snake Bone Shields] from Zhuang Ding and handed them over. Li Gong and Li Gong picked up the shields and waved them, and said happily : "My lord, this shield is polished very carefully. It looks like it's made of animal bones?"
Zhao Zhen told the story of how he killed the green anaconda. , I can't put it down even more with the bone shield in my hand.
After setting their own weapons, Zhao Zhen asked Zhao Ji to lead the five people to look around. The sergeants and family members who came with them have also been resettled today.
Sent away the five people, Zhao Zhen and Wu Yong returned to Baishi Manor, took Jiao Ting, Yu Baosi, and Hu Qidu, and went to the northern water village to board the warship led by Liu Lin. Driving quickly towards Shijie Village.
Although Zhu Wu sent a pigeon letter from Shijie Lake yesterday, informing Zhao Zhen that 2,000 soldiers from Jeju, under the command of Zhang Yong, the military and horse supervisor, had entered the adjacent Wangtai Township. Arresting the ships of the department, they prepared to enter Shijie Lake from Qinghe River under the leadership of He Tao, the arrest envoy of the department. Zhang Yong personally led the way to Shijie Village by land. They were prepared to make two routes.
Zhao Zhen was busy hosting a banquet for Tong Wei and the five people yesterday. After the arrangements were made today, he was thinking about it, so he arranged Liu Lin's navy early. The oars rowed together, and finally arrived at Shishi when it was time to apply for the license. Ruan Xiaowu's water camp in Jiehu Lake.
When Zhao Zhen arrived, the water village was empty. Only thirty or fifty descendants of Shijie Village were guarding it. After Zhao Zhen inquired, he found out that early this morning, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoer were The man then led the fleet and set off. If he hadn't seen the big flag on Zhao Zhen's ship, the smoke would have been set off to send a message.
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen did not stop. He first sent two speedboats to Shijie Village to inquire about the news. Zhao Zhen and others then went.
When Zhao Zhen arrived, he saw the whole Shijie Village was noisy. When Zhao Zhen looked, he saw Lin Chong and others on the shore escorting the prisoners back, and the Shijie Village households were surrounding them and pointing.
When Zhao Zhen landed, Zhu Wu, Lin Chong, Wang Tianba, and Qin Ming came up to greet him. Without waiting for Zhao Zhen to ask, Zhu Wu said: "Your Majesty, early this morning, we are waiting in ambush. At the misty border, when Zhang Yong came out from Wangtai Township, he took advantage of his unpreparedness and took the right guard army led by Wang Tianba's brother as the vanguard. The three battalions of horse troops rushed into the formation and defeated the Jeju soldiers and horses in one battle. "
Zhao Zhen laughed and said: "Can Zhang Yong be captured?"
Qin Mingdao: "It's a pity that this guy is not a warrior. When he saw so many horsemen, he abandoned his troops and horses. , turned around and ran away."
Zhao Zhen heard this and said: "Didn't you say that this guy is very skilled in martial arts? Why is he so timid?"
Zhu Wudao: "Among the captured sergeants? There are two confidants brought by this guy from Xuzhou. I have inquired about them. Although they have some martial arts skills, they are not very capable. They only have some connections in Tokyo, so they came here to serve as military supervisors."
"What's going on with the Ruan brothers in Shuilu?" Zhao Zhen asked.
Zhu Wudao: "Don't worry, senior officials. The Ruan brothers have known Shijie Lake since childhood. He Tao is just forcing the fishermen to sail their boats to fight. How can they be the opponents of the Ruan brothers in the water?" . It would be better to ask the chief of Ruandian to send two guides to take two boats to investigate."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen sent someone to Ruandian to arrange for people to go and investigate.
In Shijie Village, villagers were helping to count and move the captured materials. Many armors were covered with blood stains. These were newly removed from the corpses, and the damaged and intact ones were separated.
Zhao Zhen waited for about two sticks of incense in the village, and Ruan Dian came in with a few people.
I saw a sergeant in front of me cupping his hands and saying to Zhao Zhen: "Sir, the water battle is a great victory."
Zhao Zhen said: "You are from Ruan Xiaoer's battalion. I remember your name is Guifu, right? "
After hearing what Zhao Zhen said, Gui Fu said excitedly: "This little man is Gui Fu. I don't want the officials to remember you."
Zhao Zhen said: "Now you are in the navy. The eight people are the most outstanding. They are proficient in each water method and have strong martial arts. Although I have only met three or five times, I don't know. Gui Fu, She Lu, Yu Shou, Bi Xi, Luo Fu, Peng Gui, Qiu An, and Shan Kang. It’s called the Eight Big Crabs, right?”
Gui Fu said: “That’s right, She Lu and I are working in the water camp under the command of Ruan Xiaoer. Today, Ruan Xiaowu is fighting. The commander led me and several other sergeants with good water skills, and with the help of water-defending rafts, they scuttled more than ten larger fishing boats in the back, blocking the Jeju sergeants on board the boats in one fell swoop, along with the drafted punting fishermen. , more than 800 people, not one of them has been let go. Now, Commander Ruan is escorting the prisoners here, so I came to report the news first. "
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said to Zhu Wu: "Brother is right. The Ruan brothers will indeed be captured by the navy in the future."
As he said, he asked again: "Is He Tao dead?" "Is it alive?"
Gui Fu said: "This man saw that the situation was unfavorable, so he took off his armor, jumped off the boat and swam to the shore. Commander Ruan Xiaowu carried him aboard with his hair in a bun, and he was in the cabin. In custody.”
