Seeing this, Shen Haiqiong came up with an idea and said: "In my opinion, Zhou Laizi is still colluding with Wang Ling to squeeze out our brothers. Didn't the eldest brother have a relationship with Gong Guan before? How about going to Gong Guan? He has always been fair."

Hearing this, Shen Bailong sneered twice: "Gong Guan's justice is only for those who are useful to him. Tell me, who do I value more than Zhou Laizi?"

"this"

"We can't stay in Shanghai anymore!" Shen Bolong ate the remaining half of the bowl of wine and said firmly: "I don't want to stay here anymore!"

"Brother, where do you want to go?" Shen Haiqiong asked immediately. Looking at his expression, it was clear that he would follow him wherever he went. Shen Bailong also had this confidence.

"Go to Jinlanzhou!" Shen Bailong said: "Now Nanyang has been recruiting people. We are Chinese, and when we go to a place where we must be useful, why don't we have to be so comfortable here! Last year, we couldn't bring the goods there. This time, So I left alone, and I will surely see what Cam Ranh Port is like!"

"But how to pay for the travel expenses?" Shen Haiqiong thought about it and said, "In the past few months, brothers, I haven't saved much money. Going overseas, the shipping fare is not cheap!"

Is a penny a hero? At this moment, Shen Bolong suddenly had a very profound understanding of this sentence. His hand subconsciously touched the dagger in his arms.

Just when he was feeling annoyed, Shen Haiqiong suddenly slapped his head and said: "Brother, I heard a rumor today. It is said that the county government posted a notice saying that it would recruit a group of people to form a reclamation group and go to Bohai in Southeast Asia. Nidao, if you are interested, you can go to the county government to register!"

Hearing this, Shen Bailong was a little surprised: "Why did the county government personally organize it?"

"It is said that he is a big shot in Beijing. He wants to recruit a thousand people this time, but I don't know how the salary will be. Going overseas to cultivate land is a terrible job," Shen Haiqiong said.

"Now, what I'm most afraid of is that I don't even have a chance to fight!" Shen Bailong took a very open look at this and said, "Haiqiong, ask my county government about the situation tomorrow. If it's suitable, go to Bo Ni." The island may not be a way out. Why does Zhou Laizi dare to dominate us? It's not because he has Gong Guan as his backer.

However, Gong Guanren and even Gong Baotou behind him, what are they compared to the big shots in the capital?"

Obviously, Shen Bailong was aware of it. It was an inexplicable and impulsive feeling. He felt that this might be the most important opportunity in his life, one that could change his destiny.

On the second day, Shen Bailong took Shen Haiqiong to Shanghai County to ask about the Bo Ni Island Reclamation Group. For this matter, the county government apparently opened a special channel, and he was taken directly to the registration office. Fortunately, he was taken directly to the registration office. I met the person in charge who was inspecting the recruitment situation.

He was a middle-aged man wearing a brocade robe with an extraordinary bearing. He was gentle and elegant, and he looked like a highly educated man. Shen Bolong dared to step on Zhou Laizi, but he did not dare to raise his head in front of this frail-looking middle-aged man. An unprecedented sense of humiliation enveloped his body and mind. After all, let alone the nobles in Beijing, he had never even met the Shanghai County Magistrate after living in Shanghai for ten years.

The identity of the person who came was beyond his imagination. He turned out to be a member of the army of Duke Wu. He only knew his surname was Zheng, but this was enough. It was enough for Shen Bolong to make up his mind and follow him to Nanyang to Bo Ni without any regrets.

Zheng Canjun was somewhat satisfied with Shen Bailong's performance. He even asked a few more questions about his origins. Especially when he heard that he had been robbed by pirates and returned to Shanghai alive, he was even more interested. He wanted to test his understanding of hydrology and monsoon conditions. To put it bluntly, as for physical condition, you can tell by looking at your physique.

So, Zheng Canjun made the decision on the spot and gave him the position of leader of the reclamation team, with a monthly salary of five guan. Shen Bailong was naturally grateful and took advantage of the situation to propose that he had more than a dozen brothers. Zheng Canjun only thought about it for a moment, and simply The ground agreed.

The reclamation regiment is short of manpower, but it is even more lacking of talents like Shen Bailong. Yes, in Zheng Canjun's eyes, this is a talent with certain navigation experience, certain leadership, considerable courage, and good luck. In the reclamation

In the early days, it is worth using.

The Duke of Wu, Liu Hui, is still imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple. This reclamation group in the name of Duke Wu's Palace was organized by Liu Hui's eldest son, Liu Wenyu. Its purpose is, of course, to go to Bo Ni Island and manage the fiefdom awarded by the emperor.

stand up.

Compared to other uncles, Wu Guogong's Mansion was not so lucky. The imperial court took direct action and relied on himself to slowly develop and manage the business. Of course, with that level of status, the resources that can be mobilized are still considerable.

Zheng Shenjun led the team to Shanghai to make preparations this time. He organized only the first batch and went to Bo Ni West Island to set up a front station. If everything goes well, there will be a second batch and a third batch. Compared with his father, Liu Wenyu is more practical.

Much more, knowing that this is a long-term process.

The next day, Shen Bailong took more than a dozen of his brothers to report. No one was holding back, and they all expressed their willingness to follow his eldest brother.

Then, a group of people were arranged to a camp on the outskirts of Shanghai County. At this time, Shen Bailong discovered that this was not a reclamation regiment. It was clearly training according to the army. The trainee was obviously an officer and wearing armor.

In November of the fourth year of Emperor Yongxi's reign, Shen Bailong, as a captain of the colonization regiment of Wu Guogong's Mansion, embarked on a journey to Boni Island in Nanyang, riding the lucky ship that he had only been able to watch from afar for the past ten years but did not dare to play with.
