The Red Age of Sword and Magic

Chapter 203 Across the Pacific Ocean

On November 400, 27 in the later lunar calendar, at Xiannvling, Tanzhou Prefecture, Shonan County.

Randy stood by the road with his hands behind his back, his cloak fluttering in the wind, and Ah Hua lay lazily beside him, flicking his tail boredly.

A horse was tied to a tree by the roadside. The horse's legs were trembling a little, and it didn't dare to kick back after being whipped by Ah Hua's tail.

After waiting for a long time, the road was full of smoke and dust, and more than a dozen horses came rushing forward.

The two leaders jumped off the horse, and the elder laughed loudly, "Hai Qing, is this the benefactor of the past?"

It was San Mao who followed, "Yes, this is our boss Randy. Boss, Bei Huzi is here."

Randy took two steps and shook hands with Bei Huzi warmly.

"I heard my old brother tell you about you. When I saw you today, Engong really looks like a hero."

Bei Huzi patted his chest, "Brothers have gathered more than 300 people now, if you need me to do anything, benefactor, just ask.

I can't guarantee whether it will be successful, but all the brothers under my command are willing to work hard.It was Lao Cai, a landlord, who offended benefactor and made him walk around without food. "

A'hua snorted dissatisfiedly, and Beihuzi realized that A'hua was lying on the ground, and his eyes immediately widened.

"It seems that Mr. Bei was wrong. Mr. Benedict, you have a super monster in your hand, what else can you do with the landlord's old money?"

Bei Huzi bowed to A'Hua, "Back then, when the tiger roared on the Fairy Ridge, and the officers and soldiers escorting me fell to and fro, it must have been the work of Brother Tiger, right?"

Ah Hua nodded proudly, and looked at Bei Huzi with a much friendlier look, um, this is polite, knowing that I am "Brother Tiger".

"Master Bei, I really need something from you right now. I got a piece of land in Lucia, and all the formalities have been completed now.

However, I temporarily lack the manpower to guard and maintain law and order. The original local Lucia garrison only agreed to stay for three months, and I had to pay for the garrison during the garrison.

These old men have very poor military discipline. If I hire them, it will only tarnish my reputation in the territory.

Rather than giving my gold coins to those old men who are not familiar with it, it is better to give it to our own people.I want to ask Mr. Bei to lead his subordinates to help me take care of the territory for half a year.

Half a year later, my own army will be pulled up, and Master Pei will be able to come back.

The only downside is that it's a bit far away.Master Bei can rest assured that the military salary during this period will be twice the standard of the new army. "

"Ben Gong, you are not begging me, you are obviously giving me a gift.

If we had twice the salary of the new army, what kind of bandits would we still be, and we dared to go to farther places.Don't worry, leave it to me. "

"Okay, pack up and let's go."

"That, Mr. Lane—"

Bei Huzi scratched his head, "My men's equipment is poor. There are more than 300 people with only eighty-odd guns. If we go to the original old Maozi's territory, will we not be able to hold back the fixed star?"

"Don't worry about that, the guns are ready for you, brand new water drops. There are also a full set of new army uniforms, four sets for each person, two sets for winter and summer.

You don't know, Mr. Bei, I still have the status of a third-rank military officer of the imperial court, and I still have the right to recruit some personal guards.

Master Bei, you are temporarily wronged, and now I am the commander of the personal guard battalion. "

"Hahaha, good!

If the prefect of Tanzhou recruits me, I will definitely not go.

I heard from Haiqing, Engong, you are the younger brother of the double flower red stick Ruiyuan, and you are also good friends with Situ Tuozhu from the Dark Continent. You are in the government and your heart is in Han. You are a friend of our Tiandihui. I, Bei Huzi, will be recruited today back. "

At noon the next day, at the pier in Shonan County.

As the Xiangjiang River rolls north, Wanlou, Gaofeng Pagoda, and Wangheng Pavilion stand successively on both sides of the river.

More than 300 new soldiers, carrying marching bags and carrying water drops on their shoulders, stepped onto the ferry to Tanzhou one after another.

Bei Huzi was wearing a brand-new officer uniform of the new army, with two shiny shell guns in his waist.

Looking at the brothers who were still dressed in rags yesterday and held spears in their hands, today the shotguns were replaced with cannons, and they were fully loaded and became a new army with good equipment and high morale.

She clasped her fists at Randy, Sanmao, and Erjin who were standing on the shore, "Brother Lan, don't worry, if Bei goes here, you will be safe in Sitka, the capital of Alaska, for half a year.

Unexpectedly, I, with a bearded beard, would one day lead my men across the Pacific Ocean. "

"Captain Bei, don't forget to give your magic phone number, if you don't see Osman to pick you up when you arrive in the magic city, call him.

He is in the magic city, and he has already contacted the shipowners of Jiangnan Shipyard and Dark Continent. The [-]-ton ship Guanfu undertaken by Jiangnan Shipyard is going to the west coast for delivery. It just happens to take you to Sikat. Just listen to his arrangement. . "

Watching the ferries set sail to the north, Yu Jiefan, the magistrate of Shonan County who was with Randy to see him off, bowed to Randy.

"Master Lan recruited Bei Huzi this time, which really removes a big harm for Xiangnan, otherwise, the subordinates will not be able to sleep and eat in peace."

Randy smiled slightly, "It's a trivial matter, Master Yu is the parents of Xiangtan, as long as he governs properly and cares about the people at all times, the people will not rebel.

Otherwise, with Bei Huzi gone, it is inevitable that other poor people will rise up. "

"The next official would like to follow your lord's instructions."

After the magistrate left, Sanmao looked at Erjin, "Brother Erjin, you still have lipstick marks on your face."

Er Jin hurriedly wiped it off, "I remember washing it off."

"Hahaha, I was tricked out."

Erjin smiled honestly, without being annoyed, "It takes seven days from here to Magic City, and ten days by boat from Magic City to Sitka.

Sixteen gold coins are needed for each person's travel expenses, and more than 5000 gold coins are gone. Alaska is too far away. "

"what?"

Randy doesn't care about the money, he doesn't know these fees, "This is almost catching up with the cost of taking a teleportation array, why don't we build a teleportation array ourselves?"

"I don't know about the teleportation array. I have to ask the mage Osman. The fixed investment must be quite high, but if it is used frequently, the business will do well.

The cost of using the teleportation array we built must be very low. That profiteer Feng Qingyang charged 25 gold coins at a time, and I guess he earned at least [-]. "

"It's really expensive to raise soldiers. The start-up fee for a battalion is actually [-] gold coins. Weapons and uniforms are even more expensive. It's not easy to be a warlord. No wonder Nicholas II was forced to sell his land."

"Brother Erjin, how did you get so many military uniforms in two days? Did you bribe Jiang Xia's new army?"

"It's nothing. The equipment for the new army was originally supplied by my family, and it's all stored in my warehouse."

"Hey, this time you took out three hundred guns at a time, and your charge of making weapons secretly has been fulfilled."

"This is a military supply for the first-class light vehicle captain's personal guard battalion. It is legally traded. As for the speed of manufacture, who knows when Randy ordered the goods with my family?

But this time when my parents saw me coming back, they insisted on forcing me to get married.Yuanyuan is only sixteen in Chinese New Year, how can I do it?Anyway, it was delayed. "

"Brother Erjin, your family spent 200 million gold coins to invest in Alaska at one time. It really is too rich."

"My family only has 100 million in cash, and the other 100 million is mortgaged by several shops and borrowed from foreign banks. Dad is going to sell a few shops in Jiangxia to pay off the debt.

The 400 million was all given to the Lucia people. Without any funds, how can we recruit troops and how can our Lang's Alaska company operate.

That is to say, the big deal with the Lucians convinced the parents, otherwise how would they dare to invest so much money at once?

Now that I'm in charge of the Alaska company, I have weight at home, otherwise how dare I challenge my father and say that I won't get married right away?

Hurry up and go, I have to go back too, ask my father for a few more good hands in the business, start running the company immediately, and charter a boat to Alaska.

The three business leaders have invested in our company, and Osman has invested 50 yuan, making people make money. "

Randy took Sanmao, turned around and went back to Shi Lanchong. When he got home, it was still dark, and Liu Ming came out excitedly.

"Comrade Randy, you in Shonan are really outstanding. We only recruited a hundred people, and I found a military genius. Come, I will take you to meet."
