Chapter 146: Fishermen on Zhoushan Island (Part 2)

Mr. Wu took out the valuable things at home and traded them with the islanders for ten kilograms of pork and a coarse cloth. In addition, the dried fish in his home were all caught by blackheads and dried fish by himself. If they couldn't finish eating, they would become dried fish. Although this thing is not valuable at the beach, it can also be counted.

The father and son took these betrothal gifts to the Liu family. After the Liu family accepted these betrothal gifts, the marriage was decided, and the wedding date was only a few days later. After all, these poor families did not pay so much attention to it.

That night, Mr. Wu's family of four gathered together. The rice porridge was cooked in the pot. The dried fish was torn open and sprinkled into the porridge, with a fresh and salty fragrance. In addition, Mr. Wu was in great interest today and asked the girl to fry a fish for herself and took out a small jar of wine.

This jar of wine was exchanged by Boss Wu and the islanders. When he saw that he had exchanged a lot of things, he gave him a jar of wine to add to the top. There were not much wine in it, probably less than two pounds, but Boss Wu regarded the treasure. He couldn't remember when the last time he drank?

The fish was fried and the porridge was cooked. Boss Wu took out four small bowls and asked the girl to pour it on. Each of them had a bowl. Although neither of the two women had drunk alcohol, they couldn't resist the joy today.

"Dad! I'll to you!" Hei Tou couldn't help it when he smelled the aroma of the wine, so he immediately picked up the sprinkling bowl and said.

Boss Wu also picked up the sprinkling bowl and drank it all with his son. After the spicy wine was in his mouth, a stream of heat rushed straight to the top of the door, but then there was a different feeling of pleasure, which made Boss Wu breathe a long sigh, as if he had vomited out all the depression of the first half of his life.

"Blackhead, the marriage has been decided. We will finish your marriage in a few days. Don't think about anything after marriage. Let's leave it for our Wu family first!" Boss Wu immediately reminded his son.

"I can't say this accurately. I heard that some people have been married for several years but have not given birth to a son." Heitou said speechlessly. He is not young anymore and has long been clear about men and women.

"Then I don't care. Don't you want to join the army? When will you give birth to a eldest grandson for me? When will I let you go to the army?" Boss Wu waved his hand immediately. He knew that Heitou wanted to go to the army, but he was only one of them left, so he had to keep it before talking about it anyway.

When he heard that his father agreed to let him go to the army, although the conditions were a little harsh, it was reasonable, so Hei Tou immediately lit up his eyes and said, "This is what you said. If I had a son, Dad, you can't stop me anymore!"

"I said, I actually want you to go to the army, too. A few days ago, Grandmaster Zou said that the army is now at the time of employment, and it is also the easiest time to get promotion. Look at your father and me, but because of literacy and martial arts, I immediately became a household. You kid is no worse than others. If you really enter the army, you will definitely be better than your father and me!"

Boss Wu said and patted his son on the shoulder. He was not boasting. Blackhead is indeed bold and meticulous, and has the ability. Not only is he good at being aquatic, but he is also extremely agile. It is indeed easier for young people like him to enter the army.

"That's great, dad, don't worry. As long as I get married, I will definitely hold my son in one year. Then we will go to the battle for the father-son soldiers and follow the Grandmaster Zou and Zhang and others to conquer the world!" Hei Tou said as he poured a bowl of wine for his father.

Boss Wu was even happier when he heard this, especially when he thought that he would be able to hold his grandson in a year, which made him extremely excited. He immediately picked up the wine and drank it all over again. Perhaps because he did not drink alcohol all year round, the two bowls of wine had already made him a little drunk, and a little red light appeared on his dark face. Although life is still very hard now, at least with hope, this feeling is really good.

The next morning, Boss Wu was preparing for the Heitou's marriage, but unexpectedly, someone suddenly came from the army and summoned all generals from more than a hundred households to discuss the matter. Boss Wu did not dare to delay and immediately rushed to the military camp.

Compared with the simple villages around, the military camps were built in a very good manner. In fact, the military camps here were built by Mingjun for them in advance. They had barracks and schoolyards, and they had better food and drink than the people in the village every day. They also distributed zippers, weapons, etc., so young and strong fishermen also wanted to join the army. Even an ordinary soldier could wear zippers and walk in the village.

Boss Wu came to the military camp and found out that it was Zhang Dingbian who had returned, so Zou Pusheng summoned them to come, first to welcome Zhang Dingbian, and second to discuss the matter of sending troops. It is said that the date of sending troops has been set.

Soon everyone arrived. Zou Pusheng and Li Hong led everyone to the dock. After a while, a fleet appeared in front of them. As the fleet entered the port, they could also see ragged people standing on the ship. Boss Wu and the others were very familiar with this scene, because when they came, they were almost exactly the same as these people.

As the fleet landed, the people migrated on the ship began to disembark in batches. Zou Pusheng had already arranged personnel to resettle these people. These people were the seventh group of people who came here, and they were not the last group. Because Zhang Dingbian recruited too many people, there were at least ten groups of people behind. However, this is also a good thing. Because there were too many people coming at once, Zou Pusheng and the others might not be able to resettle them.

After almost the people on the boat got off, Zhang Dingbian only led a few disciples off the boat. After not seeing each other for many days, Zhang Dingbian still looked like a virtuous monk, but his monk's robe seemed even more worn.

"Brother Zhang, it's been hard work all the way!" Zou Pusheng immediately met Zhang Dingbian and said, "In the past few months, Zhang Dingbian has almost traveled to the settlements of the nine fishermen. Finally, he recruited so many people, which made Zou Pusheng and others more confident in their next actions.

"Brother Zou is polite. It's really hard for you to resettle the people. I wonder if the people who have moved here can still adapt to the life here?" Zhang Dingbian said politely for a few words, and then asked about the living conditions of the fishermen in the ninth surname. After all, these people moved because they believed him. If life here is not as good as before, then he would have no shame to see people.

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, the Ming Dynasty is very trustworthy, the food and food resources are mobilized very timely, and the migrant people are not spoiled. As long as there is food and drink, everyone will be very at ease." Zou Pusheng immediately smiled.

Of course, if so many people get together, some illegal things will definitely happen. However, Zou Pusheng has experience in governing the local area and has sent people to strengthen public security, so these things will not affect the stability of the overall situation.

Zhang Dingbian finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Then Zou Pusheng and Li Hong introduced the main generals around him to Zhang Dingbian. Now they trained a total of 5,000 soldiers, of which 3,000 were the old subordinates of Zou Pusheng and Li Hong, and were also the main force of this expedition. As for the remaining two thousand, they belonged to the reserve army.

The nine-subject fishermen who moved from Wu and others belonged to the reserve army, so he was not conspicuous among the crowd. However, Zhang Dingbian recognized him at a glance. After all, Wu was the first nine-subject fisherman he met when he went to Poyang Lake. He even lived with Wu for a while and helped Wu's wife cure her illness.

So after meeting everyone, Zhang Dingbian also chatted with Boss Wu for a few words, which made Boss Wu very excited. Unexpectedly, Zhang Dingbian actually remembered himself, which made his chest straighter.

Zou Pusheng and others welcomed Zhang Dingbian back to the military camp, but Zhang Dingbian did not rush to discuss matters. Instead, he walked around the military camp, watched the soldiers' training, and finally nodded with satisfaction. Although time was a little rushed, the soldiers' training did not fall.

Finally, Zhang Dingbian came to the meeting hall with everyone, and then announced in public: "The date of dispatching troops has been set. In just half a month, the Ming Dynasty will send warships to escort us to the war!"

As soon as this statement was released, it immediately attracted a lot of discussion. Although I had known that the date of the war was not far away, now hearing the confirmed news, many people were still excited and nervous. On the one hand, they wanted to use their hands to build a world, and on the other hand, they were worried about the upcoming war. After all, the battlefield was ruthless, and no one knew whether they would fall on the battlefield.

"Okay, I'll arrange a mission. Three thousand elite soldiers will go on the expedition with the ship. The remaining two thousand troops will be expanded while waiting for the front line's orders!" Gui Zou Pusheng also stood up and interrupted the discussion. He and Zhang Dingbian had actually known this news for a long time, but it was not announced until now.

Boss Wu below was relieved when he heard that he didn't have to go to the army for the time being. After all, he still wanted to finish the Blackhead's wedding before leaving. Now it seems that he has to hurry up. After all, if the war on the front line is tight, they will definitely be transferred to the front line, but they don't know where they are going to attack?

Not only was Boss Wu curious about the goal of his expedition, but many people in the crowd were curious about where to attack, so someone soon stood up and asked, "Tai Shi, I don't know where we are going to take a boat and who will fight with?"

Zou Pusheng and Zhang Dingbian were also prepared for this issue. They saw that they looked at each other and then Zhang Dingbian stood up and said, "This matter has been hidden from everyone before, just to keep it a secret. But now the battle is about to go to war, and it is time to tell everyone so that everyone can be mentally prepared."

Zhang Dingbian took a long breath when he said this, and then said with a serious expression: "Our goal for this expedition is Tsushima Island in Japan, but that is just a pedal, and the ultimate goal is Kyushu Island in Japan!"

"Wa Kingdom!" Hearing the name of Japan, there was an uproar again. He asked the Japanese pirates for their blessings. The people below were still very familiar with Japan. Although the Japanese pirates were short, they were extremely cruel. Now that I heard that they were going to kill the Japanese pirates' hometown, many people showed nervous expressions for a while.
