Chapter 95 Meeting in Dengzhou

Born to work hard, Song Qing often sighed at himself like this.

Although he really wanted to have a relationship with Wanyan Baokang and get a batch of war horses first, but before the kitchen dishes were ready, the bodyguard flew to report, and Gongsun Junshi and others arrived.

Did Gongsun Sheng arrive? This news simply made Song Qing more excited than getting 10,000 war horses. He ordered people to tell Wanyan Baokang that he had something urgent to do and would not accompany them today. Please stay at ease and entertain them another day.

Then take people to the dock quickly.

Dengzhou built a military dock during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which was later gradually abandoned due to years of disrepair. After Chai Jin arrived, he, together with Meng Kang and others, hired local workers to start renovation. At present, the project has not been fully completed, but it is no longer a problem to dock large ships.

It is said that Gongsun Sheng and others are really hard enough. Although they encountered obstacles in Jeju, it is not the same as the difficulties they encountered when they first entered the sea.

Every soldier of the Liangshan Army is very good, but when they set foot in the sea for the first time, many people were drowned and many ships were overturned by the waves. If they hadn't been walking along the coastline, according to the proximity to the seaside, there was a possibility that the whole army would have been destroyed.

Seeing this scene, Gongsun Sheng did not dare to show his ability and ordered to collect sea boats before going on the road. So many people, go there to collect so many big boats? Later, even many fishmen's boats were robbed, and finally enough for the ship to set sail. In this way, he stumbled all the way. When he arrived in Dengzhou, the 10,000 navy was less than four floors, which could be said to be a heavy loss.

After seeing the tragic situation of Gongsun Sheng and others, Song Qing's tears almost fell.

Poor diet, wind and sun, and always have to fight against death. These former strong Liangshan heroes are all very thin.

Although Gongsun Sheng looked miserable, he was in good spirits. Looking at Song Qing with a heavy expression, he was relieved and said, "Lao finally did not disappoint the general manager. Although the brothers suffered heavy losses, I believe that Liang Shan and these sailor brothers are qualified to become our naval soldiers along the way."

Song Qing believed that Gongsun Sheng was right. His real purpose was also to train soldiers, but the price was too big. More than 6,000 Liangshan elite sailors were buried on the sea like this. Thinking about Song Qing felt distressed.

Ruan Xiaowu and others had been exhausted for a long time and didn't even have time to be sad. When they got to the dock, they lay on the ground and refused to get up again. This was the first time in their lives that they felt the cuteness of the land.

Song Qing hurriedly ordered Chai Jin to lead people to arrange these sailors.

Dengzhou did not have an established navy, but there was an army barracks. After Song Qing arrived, he disbanded the van army according to the old rules and began to expand on the basis of the original van barracks. He could not always let the soldiers live in tents. Like the wharf, although it has not been completed, many houses are already available for people to live in.

After these sailors lived in, Chai Jin ordered people to prepare meals for them in case they got up to eat.

This side is busy, and another bodyguard came to report that Meng Kang, who went to sea to test the ship, came back.

This is also good news. Song Qing explained that he came to the dock again. These are meritorious ministers. Liang Shan's navy's hopes are all on them. How can they express their gratitude if they don't greet them in person?

Similar to Gongsun Sheng and others, Meng Kang, Ruan Xiaoer and Zhang Shun are also black and thin, but these people are extremely energetic. Walking on the springboard is also a tiger walk, and they are not as strange as Gongsun Sheng and others at all.

When they saw Song Qing coming to welcome him in person, they were a little favored. He rushed to grab his body and bowed to salute.

"I've met the general manager"

Song Qing came forward to help them and laughed, "You came back at such a good time. The Taoist priest and the fifth brother and the seventh brother have also just arrived. Let's go and have a rest first. Tonight, I will gather everyone to successfully meet and Dengzhou for us and wash the dust for you."

In fact, Meng Kang and others had already seen the messy boats moored by the dock, but they didn't expect it to be Gongsun Sheng's.

Especially Ruan Xiaoer, who heard that his two younger brothers had arrived and pleaded guilty to Song Qing, so he ran to visit them.

Song Qing looked at the big ship on which Meng Kang and others were on, nodded and said, "How many troops can this ship accommodate? What else needs to be improved?"

"Except for food, water and other necessities, it is no problem to accommodate 500 people. Let's talk about the problem! There are too few ships, and our weapons need to be improved. Yesterday, when we were at sea, we wanted to rob a merchant ship, but because we were inexperienced and couldn't keep up with our weapons, we let them run away."

Meng Kang said with regret that he came earlier and knew what kind of ships were sailing on the sea. Moreover, Liang Shan's hero's nature was plunder. Anyway, he would not say anything if he was not ordinary people or grab more than the general manager.

This is the common idea of several of them.

Of course, Song Qing will not stop them. Moreover, once the navy has formed its combat effectiveness, the first task he will give to the navy is to block the route from Goryeo and Dongying Japan to Song Dynasty.

If Korea and Japan want to trade, they must do it with Dengzhou. When the navy becomes strong, it will go further.

"Haha" smiled and said, "Brother Zhang Shun and others are fine about the war. You'd better build a ship for me at home!"

Turning his head and said to Zhang Shun, "Someone sent me two 5,000-dan ships. You can receive them in person and try to build our navy in the shortest time."

Zhang Shun answered happily. What they lack most now are large sea boats and well-trained sailors, but he also knows that these things can't be rushed.

Song Qing suddenly remembered Wanyan Baokang again. I'm afraid he didn't have time to pay attention to him now. He ordered someone to tell Chai Jin, who was still busy with the resettlement of the water army, and let Chai Jin find time to contact Wanyan Baokang.

Isn't Wanyan Baokang going to study the matter of acceptance? OK, I'll send someone to study with you. I don't have time to accompany you.

That night, Song Qing found all the people they could summon. This was the first gathering since they entered the state, and it was also a reception for Gongsun Sheng and others. At the banquet, Song Qing introduced Chen Dong to everyone.

Chen Dong, who cleaned up neatly, returned to his former lean appearance, but he was much thinner than before and said less.

On this occasion, Song Qing doesn't need him to express anything. He just wants him to see his attitude. That is, I have regarded you as my own, and you should also use all your energy, right?

The heroes have been reunited for a long time and occupied so many territories at the same time. It can be said that it has exceeded a lot of expectations, so this wine was extremely fun.

Liang Shan's heroes shouted and fought for wine. Chen Dong sat not far from Song Qing, took out something from his arms and handed it to Song Qing.

"This is what I drew in the afternoon, please take a look"

Are you entering the role so soon? Not bad.

Song Qing smiled and took Chen Dong's map-like thing and opened it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

It can be seen that this is a simple map of a city, but it is such a simple map, but I don't know how many times stronger it is now in Dengzhou.

Chen Dong was obviously very proud of Song Qing's reaction and pointed to the map and began to explain.

"I have been linger in the streets and alleys of Dengzhou and found that the current pattern of Dengzhou has reached the extreme, and if the general manager wants to gain a foothold here for a long time, he must rebuild a new city so that he can adapt to the long-term development of the general manager in the future."

Then Chen Dong began to introduce to Song Qing that a dock can be built, a granary can be built there, a barracks can be built there, etc. It can be seen that he really used his heart.

Looking at it, Song Qing frowned. Because he thought of a very realistic question. This idea is good. How long will it take to build a new city? Put aside your financial resources, go there to find so many people?

The navy needs to expand, recruit more sailors, protect local security, and even occupy more places in the future. These require troops, so it cannot devote military strength to construction.

The occupied states and counties are vast and sparsely populated, and there is a shortage of people to cultivate, let alone build cities.

Chen Dong seemed to know what Song Qing was thinking and said with a smile, "Is the general manager worried about people's problems? I have an idea. The general manager might as well refer to it.

"First of all, Liangshan is not short of silver, so we don't have to worry about not being able to hire people. But this alone is far from enough. I heard that Fangla in the south of the Yangtze River is rebeling, and there are also people rebeling in Huaixi. Jiangnan may be farther away, but Huaixi is not far away. The war is bound to cause many homeless people. If the general manager can give them land, I think many people will still be willing to come, so that there will be more people. Finally, it will be the other side of the sea. If the general manager can send a strong fleet, I think many people can get it back."

The other side of the sea?

Song Qing was stunned first, and then understood that the idea Chen Dong gave him was to go to Korea or Japan to plunder the population?

Hmm! It's a good idea that the population of Goryeo and the little devils can be captured, but it will take some time to wait for the navy to form a combat power.

But it would be good if we could recruit some drifters. After beckoning Chai Jin and telling Chen Dong's idea to Chai Jin, Chai Jin also claimed to be wonderful.

Song Qing immediately made a deal and handed over the construction of the new city to Chen Dong and Chai Jin, and asked him to start preparing tomorrow.

Looking at Chen Dong and Chai Jin sitting together muttering, Song Qing couldn't help sighing that he was a scholar! The idea I came up with is really gloomy.

It was easy to wait for them to finish talking. The heroes over there were impatient and picked up wine bowls to toast Song Qing one after another.

It turned out that Liang Shan's heroes were convinced of Song Qing and could not reach the level of worship, but now they really admire Song Qing. If it hadn't been for Song Qing, they might have become the cannon fodder of the court. If it hadn't been for Song Qing, they might have been in the mountain nest, let alone occupying so many places like today.

Song Qing was also really happy today. The army finally met Dengzhou, one step closer to his goal, and then found Chen Dong, a doer.

A big drink broke up happily, and finally Song Qing was carried back. But this time he pretended to be drunk, because he really didn't dare to drink.
