Water Margin official

The shop assistant took out a magpie-painted bow, went to the water pavilion in the backyard, pointed a noisy arrow in the distance, and shot it out.

After a crisp sound, a small boat was seen rowing out from the reed swamp, and the shop assistant shouted loudly: "Quickly row over, the village leader is going up the mountain."

The men on the boat were startled and sped up their movements to dock the boat.

"Should we summon the big ship in the village?" the leader asked.

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "The village owner is in a hurry to return to the mountain, so he will take your speedboat."

The gangster was overjoyed. Some time ago, the leader of the village returned to the village on a boat belonging to the patrol leader He Cheng. In the blink of an eye, leader He transformed into the deputy commander of the Treading Waves Navy.

If the leader of the village can ride on his own boat today, wouldn't he also have the opportunity to be promoted further?

The store clerk returned to the store and asked Zhang Zhengdao to come to the water pavilion.

"I've met the village leader!" The three men on the boat saluted respectfully.

"Thank you, three brothers, send me up the mountain." Zhang Zhengdao stood with his hands behind his back.

The store clerk first unloaded the heavy baggage from Zhang Zhengdao's horse and delivered it to the boat, and then helped Zhang Zhengdao get on the boat.

The leading man said: "Stand firm, Master."

The boat's oars moved, and the boat left the shore and swung toward the depths of the water.

The lake is sparkling, but the water surface is wide, and the lake breeze blows on your face, bringing a little coolness.

Zhang Zhengdao stared into the distance and saw two huge passenger ships, more than twenty feet long and ten feet wide, coming from a distance, breaking through the waves.

The young man at the head shouted with great joy: "Captain, that is a ship of the Pinghai Navy."

I vaguely saw the flags on the ship fluttering. One bright red flag was embroidered with the word "Pinghai", and there was another white flag with the word "阮" embroidered on it.

When the two passenger ships came close, a muscular man with bare arms and a green leopard tattooed on his chest stood on the bow of the ship. When he saw Zhang Zhengdao standing on the small boat with his hands behind his back, he shouted with joy: "Stop the ship."
"Brother, village leader, I want Xiao Wuli to die." Ruan Xiaowu shouted loudly.

When Zhang Zhengdao saw his majestic appearance, he also smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for many days, but fifth brother is so majestic."

The boat docked next to the passenger ship, and Zhang Zhengdao lowered the rope ladder and climbed onto the warship of the Wave-riding Navy.

The men on the small boat took the heavy baggage brought by the village owner and asked the brothers from the Wave-Treading Navy to tie it up with ropes and drag it up.

When Zhang Zhengdao entered the passenger ship, he felt that it was spacious. Each cabin could accommodate fifty or seventy people. The four walls were decorated with windows, just like the system of a house. There were railings on top, colorful paintings, and curtains.

It is decorated with tables, chairs and beds for people to rest.

Ruan Xiaowu smiled and said: "Brother, village leader, please sit down quickly."

Seeing Zhang Zhengdao looking around, Ruan Xiaowu introduced: "These two clippers were bought from Hecai Town, costing hundreds of dollars."

"I heard that I bought it from two boatmen who came ashore. These decorative items were also given away." Ruan Xiaowu pointed to the tables, chairs and beds and said, "I originally wanted to remove them all, but

Brother Wang Lun said that these two passenger ships are not suitable for use as warships. Even if they are dismantled, they cannot be refitted. They can only be retained for transportation."

Zhang Zhengdao nodded and said: "This passenger ship is indeed not suitable for use as a warship."

Ruan Xiaowu smiled bitterly and said: "The brother who went to buy a ship reported back that warships are really difficult to buy, so we can only buy these passenger ships and cargo ships first and use them as replicas."

Zhang Zhengdao looked at the small boat he had just been on and disappeared into the reeds. He turned around and asked, "Fifth brother, are you training the navy?"

Ruan Xiaowu smiled and said: "Mr. Wen told me to go to the Xishan Hotel and pick up the fifty or so brothers who came to the mountain."

"Mr. Wen?" Zhang Zhengdao thought of a person and asked quickly: "But Wen Huanzhang?"

Ruan Xiaowu said: "It's him. He is said to be the military advisor invited by his brother. He has been living in the mountain stronghold for more than a month."

Zhang Zhengdao was overjoyed. He didn't expect that this man really meant what he said and came to commit suicide.

Ruan Xiaowu ordered the minions on the boat: "I will send the village owner back to the mountain first, and let the other boat go to the Xishan Hotel."

The little guy went away, waving the flag at the stern, and the two passenger ships staggered, one turned to Liangshan Dazhai, and the other went to Xishan Hotel.

When Zhang Zhengdao saw the men on the boat, all of them were tough, brave, dark and strong, he nodded with satisfaction and said: "Fifth Brother, this navy is well organized."

Ruan Xiaowu smiled and said: "So much money and food have been invested in the village. How can I get away with it if I don't have any appearance?"

This man speaks from his heart. Since Liangshan raised the banner, he has given priority to the development of the navy. The two naval armies, "Pinghai" and "Talang", are both full.

These thousands of sailors were carefully selected from the gangs in the village. They spent their money on good food and wine every day. Wang Lun, who had always been distressed, frowned when he saw the three heroes of the Ruan family.

I frowned, for fear that they were coming to ask for money and food.

Zhang Zhengdao smiled and said: "Practice well, there is an important matter now that needs you, the Pinghai Navy, to handle!"

Ruan Xiaowu stood up, patted his chest and shouted: "Ping Haijun son, let my brother do whatever he wants."

Zhang Zhengdao saw Ruan Xiaowu excited and waved his hand for him to sit down.

"This matter will be discussed later. How many brothers are there in Shanzhai now?" Zhang Zhengdao asked.

Ruan Xiaowu recalled it, frowned and said: "I'm afraid there are more than 3,000 people there."

"Brother, the village leader, asked the wrong person. My younger brother has been training the navy in the water village all day long. I really don't know how many brothers there are in the village." Ruan Xiaowu scratched his scalp and felt a little shy.

Zhang Zhengdao changed the topic and asked: "During my absence, besides Mr. Wen going up the mountain, what other major events happened?"

Ruan Xiaowu said: "Brothers Qi Lang and Suo Xian, with twenty good men, are going to the official Chai of Henghai County, Cangzhou to pick up the fifty good horses. We will be back soon."
Chai Daguan had previously funded fifty Northland war horses from Liangshan Dazhai, but because they had no manpower, they temporarily stored them in Chai Jinzhuang.

Not long after Zhang Zhengdao left Liangshan, Ruan Xiaoqi and Suo Xian selected twenty good men who knew horses and rushed to Cangzhou to pick up the horses.

"Besides these, the two navy armies are already full, and the mountain attacking army of Brother Ling Guang is also full." Ruan Xiaowu was full of energy and said with a smile: "It is the Haoerlang built by Brother Song Wan.

, which is also inexhaustible."

"Good, our Liangshan is so prosperous." Zhang Zhengdao was overjoyed.

I have invested a lot of effort, money and food here. If there is no development, I might as well just go home, hug my wife and children, live on the hot bed, and become a rich man.

"Is there any news about Brother Du Qian?" Zhang Zhengdao asked again.

Ruan Xiaowu shook his head and said: "No news has been received."

Zhang Zhengdao thought for a moment and then sighed: "Du Qian and Shi Qian have average means. I hope they don't encounter any unscrupulous villains and lose their lives."

"Brother, village leader, there is no need to worry. When I came down from the mountain just now, Mr. Wen said that the hero who just came to the mountain was recommended by Brother Du Qian." Ruan Xiaowu said with relief.

While the two were talking, the passenger ship had already arrived at Shannan Water Village to the east of Golden Beach.

Zhang Zhengdao saw that this water village had a wall built with swords and guns standing on the wall. The door of the village was hung high by a noose to allow boats to enter and exit.

When the sailor guarding the stronghold saw the captain's passenger ship turning around, he flagged and guided the ship to the stronghold.

The passenger ship docked at the pier, and Ruan Xiaowu accompanied Zhang Zhengdao to Dazhai. Behind him was a naval hero, carrying the heavy burden and walking forward slowly.

After passing the Duanjin Pavilion, you can see the majestic three passes and the flags and sails fluttering.

"The wall built by Song Wan is actually better than the one built by our brothers." Ruan Xiaowu said with a smile when he saw Zhang Zhengdao staring blankly at the third wall that had just been built.

Zhang Zhengdao came back to his senses and said with a smile: "No matter what, after the three passes are built, our Liangshan stronghold is becoming more and more prosperous. Even if a large army comes to conquer, we are not afraid."

After the two passed three passes, they arrived at Dazhai. The two flagpoles carried two large apricot-yellow flags, making a hunting sound.

As the flag trembled, the eight characters "do justice for heaven" and "reward the good and punish the evil" flashed out.

Stepping into the Juyi Hall, I saw several leaders and some unfamiliar faces standing or sitting, seemingly discussing something.

Seeing someone who didn't need to report, they entered the hall. These people focused their eyes on the mysterious man in front of Ruan Xiaowu.

The new leader who came up the mountain was guessing in his mind who this person was and who could make Ruan Xiaowu accompany him.

But Zhang Zhengdao didn't say anything. He stepped forward, lifted up his robe and sat down on the high chair in the middle.

"Brothers, you are well and well!" Zhang Zhengdao laughed loudly.
