Liu Pei got off the boat and took his men to change the boat and went up the river. He went to a village that could reach at the farthest end of the river. Liu Pei's arrival alarmed the local garrison. An officer came to inspect with his soldiers.

The officer was very surprised when he learned about Liu Pei's identity! The soldiers were even more excited! His eyes were wide open! They really didn't expect the general to appear here!

Liu Pei signaled the guards to let the team of soldiers approach. The team of soldiers approached Liu Pei with excitement and saluted Liu Pei together. After returning the salute, Liu Pei said, "It's really hard for all brothers to guard here! Mr. Liu thanked you here!"

The soldiers answered excitedly: "No, no," "The general is really hard!"

After everyone calmed down, Liu Pei asked, "You are stationed here, I wonder if your family can take over?"

The officer replied: "My little family has been taken over and will be ready to settle here in the future. Some of the other soldiers have not yet started their families, and those with families have also been resettled. So we will do our best to protect the place!"

After hearing what they said, Liu Pei knew that most of these people were soldiers recruited from the victims. After learning that this village was not peaceful before. Occasionally, natives would rob. However, because of the protection of soldiers and the cooperation of villagers, they could often defeat the natives who came to rob.

But now those natives are also smarter and do not often harass them, but gather together to wait for the villagers to rob the food when they have gains. However, the soldiers and villagers are very careful, so the losses caused are not great.

After Liu Pei learned about the situation of the garrison, he ordered the officer to keep his identity confidential and let him accompany him to the village for a walk and a walk. The officer naturally agreed happily.

Liu Pei changed into casual clothes, took off his goggles, and only brought a few guards, and was led into the village by the officers.

This village is not big, with less than a hundred families. However, there is a platoon of soldiers stationed here. The main reason is that this is the village that is the deepest inland, and the highest level must be mentioned in terms of safety.

When Liu Pei approached the village, he found that this village was different from an ordinary village. Because this village had to be prepared for attacks by natives, it adopted the form of a fort. Liu Pei also knocked on the wall of the village, which looked very solid.

Liu Pei was very satisfied with this. This at least shows that the local village chief did not cut corners. After all, this is a matter that concerns human life and cannot be neglected.

Once you enter the fort, you can see a huge open space in the center of the village along the main road. You can also see the barracks directly opposite. There are dense houses on both sides of the mainland.

When Liu Pei arrived, it was the hot afternoon, so the villagers did not go to the ground to avoid the heat, but instead cooled under a few big trees left in the village.

Liu Pei looked carefully at the crowd and found that most of the people here were young and strong, with almost no elderly people, and even fewer children. Liu Pei couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It took a long time to get tired, and many elderly and children could not survive this level, which was also a helpless thing.

Then Liu Pei looked at the construction of the village carefully and found that it was indeed quite neat. The most important thing was that there was no dirty and messy rural area in the Ming Dynasty. All the ground in the village was spread flat with hammers. There were no fallen leaves, branches, or other things on it, and there were no urination and drowning objects.

All houses are in a unified format, and they look like rows of soldiers. When you see this, you will know that the village chief here is afraid that another retired veteran will be another retired soldier.

While Liu Pei was looking at the village, a man came over from the crowd. The guard was about to step forward to stop him, but he heard the officer say, "Master, this is Zhao Dabao, the village chief of this village! He is also a veteran of our army!"

Liu Pei nodded to show his understanding, and at the same time signaled the guards to release people directly. It can be seen that Zhao Dabao is very prestigious in the village. As soon as he got up and walked towards him, seven or eight young and strong men were going to follow him, but they were stopped by the guards.

Zhao Dabao seemed to have followers and the officers of the garrison were by his side, so he knew that the person coming was a big shot. So he turned around and waved his hands at the young and strong men, indicating that they were staying outside. Then he walked towards Liu Pei directly.

But when he saw Liu Pei, he felt familiar.

, So he thought desperately why the person in front of him looked so familiar? When he got closer, he looked at Liu Pei's smiling face and suddenly realized! He immediately stood up straight, raised his hand and said, "Blade and shield hand Zhao Dabao has met the Grand Marshal! The Grand Marshal Wan Sheng!"

Liu Pei looked at Zhao Dabao carefully. He only looked at his right face and his neck were covered with fine scars. I am afraid there were more scars in the area where his body was covered by clothes.

Zhao Dabao felt Liu Pei's eyes and touched his face and said, "Master General, this was when he was destroying the bandits, and he was hit by the bandits' cannons! I didn't have time to protect myself with my shield, so the left half of my body was protected, but the right half was covered with wounds! The doctor used it for a long time to clean the iron sand on my body, and then he saved his life back! Unfortunately, the tendon on his right hand was injured and he couldn't get the knife! Later, he was assigned here to be the village chief."

Liu Pei nodded and said, "You are really lucky!"

Zhao Dabao grinned and said, "That's the medicine given by the Grandmaster, so that he can come back alive!"

Zhao Dabao's words made Liu Pei very proud! Because he has recovered a large amount of medicine from now on, he has indeed saved the lives of many soldiers. Many wounds that will die on the battlefield are easy to solve for current medical skills and medicines.

Liu Pei patted Zhao Dabao's arm and said, "Although you can't kill the thief with a knife, you can lead the people to live and work in peace and protect one side. Their contributions are no less than those on the battlefield! Come on, call me a few people over. Don't reveal my identity, I just want to talk to them."

Zhao Dabao, I knew that Liu Pei wanted to understand the actual situation, so I waved to the young masters who followed him and signaled them to come. After the guards made way for them to come, Zhao Dabao said to them: "You guys have heard that there are noble people in our village! They are people around the Grand Marshal. If you ask anything, just tell the truth! Do you understand?"
