The Republic of China: A Letter of Appointment Creates the Most Powerful Warlord

Chapter 358 Goodbye, Navy, the Marshal invites you

"Okay, you two should be quiet for a while. Aren't you tired after working so hard for so many days?" Zhang Ye held the fishing rod and felt that the two guys were a bit noisy, so he complained helplessly.

His trip to Silla in the past few days gave him a lot of insights, especially after seeing the enslaved Silla people, Zhang Ye deeply realized the importance of national unity.

As long as there is no unity, the people will never have peace.

"Is there any new news from the country these days?" Zhang Ye, sitting steadily on the deck, looked back at Lu Shan and asked.

In the past six months, the forces of all parties have been relatively balanced, and everyone has developed steadily in their respective territories. Although they are holding their breath in secret, due to the strong power of the independent army, they can only hold it back and dare not act rashly.

"Nothing special. All parties are quite stable." Lu Shan compiled the intelligence he had received recently into a folder. After carefully reading it for a while, he responded, "The railway line within District 7 has been fully opened. With the convenience of transportation, the popularization of free education has entered a rapid stage."

"A few days ago, Fang Yu sent me a new request. He wants to set up a pilot hospital in Donglu Province and provide free medical treatment to the people, solving the problem of difficulty in seeing a doctor and affording medicine."

"We can set up a pilot hospital, but the implementation of this plan needs to be slowed down." Zhang Ye nodded slightly. He also wanted to do something practical for the people, but the current situation has not yet reached the stage of full free services. Neither the government nor he personally can afford the cost.

"There's one more thing. The intelligence department has already investigated the guys we met on the train on the way to Shanghai. There's no problem with their identities. They sent a telegram asking what we should do with them?" Lu Shan leaned forward and whispered.

In fact, he has been paying attention to this matter. The reason why he reported it to Zhang Ye was because he was afraid that he would not be able to grasp the scale well and make these guys stupid.

"Give me some money to send you back home. If you can form a team of a thousand people within a month, come back to me!" Zhang Ye threw out a large spoonful of bait and said casually.

If you want to be supported, you must demonstrate your value.

Qin Province is in chaos, with various forces emerging one after another. As long as you dare to fight and fight, it should not be difficult to gather a team of a thousand people in a month.

Of course, if you are injured or killed on the way, you can only blame your bad luck for not being destined to be a marquis or a prime minister.

"One thousand people, isn't that a bit too high?" Lu Shan hesitated for a moment, feeling that this number was not something that ordinary people could handle.

After all, poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. The poorer the place, the more people who dare to risk their lives are there. We all have one head on two shoulders, so why should we obey you?

"The Hedong Alliance has nearly 500,000 people, and I only need 1,000. Is that too much?" Zhang Ye glanced back at him, then continued to stare at the calm sea, musing, "Too many people these days want to change their fate. There are many good horses, but there are few good horse trainers. They're lucky to have met me. Whether they can change their fate from now on depends entirely on fate."

"Yes, Marshal, I understand!" Lu Shan nodded and wrote a note after the message: "Ten thousand dollars will be sent back to the country of origin."

If you want the horse to run, you must be willing to feed it.

Ten thousand dollars may not sound like a lot, but in a remote place like Qin Province, it is enough to be equivalent to a medium-sized landlord. It is not difficult to use this money well to form a team.

"General, something's happening!" Just as Zhang Ye was about to raise his fishing rod, Qin Fan hurried out of the command cabin and reported in a serious tone, "We've spotted an unidentified vessel directly ahead. Preliminary inference is that it might be the Fengbei Navy."

"Hehe, this group of people are quite troublesome. The more they are not allowed to move forward, the more they make noise." Zhang Ye put down his fishing rod, stood up and walked towards the bow of the boat.

He wanted to see what these guys in the shabby wooden boats were trying to do!

……

An hour later, on the calm sea, the distance between the two fleets was getting closer and closer.

At that time, the situation on the opposite side could be clearly seen through the telescope. Zhang Ye witnessed with his own eyes a small transfer boat approaching his own fleet quickly.

Seeing this scene, his curiosity increased again, and he couldn't understand what this group of people were trying to do.

Soon, the small boat successfully landed on the main ship. A very young man, dressed in a lieutenant's uniform, quickly came up to Zhang Ye, straightened his back, saluted, and shouted, "I am Fu Yuyang, the staff officer of the Weizhen of the Northern Navy. I am honored to meet Marshal Zhang!"

"What's the matter?" Zhang Ye nodded slightly and got straight to the point.

"I heard that the Marshal has finished his trip to Silla. My old Marshal has already held a banquet in Bincheng and looks forward to your visit." Fu Yuyang responded without looking away, neither humble nor arrogant.

"Old Marshal? He is waiting for me in Bincheng?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Ye's doubts became even greater.

He hadn't contacted Lao Zhang since the battle with the Feng clique and the hasty evacuation of the Fengbei Army. Both sides knew what was going on and knew that a rift had already formed in each other's hearts.

When he went to Silla a few days ago, Zhang Ye taught the Fengbei Navy a lesson. He didn't believe that old Zhang couldn't understand the meaning of that big yellow croaker.

The relationship between the two sides has become so tense, and now he is holding a banquet in Bincheng waiting for him. What tricks is this old man playing?

"Okay, you lead the way!" Without much hesitation, Zhang Ye turned to look at Qin Fan and ordered, "Turn to Bincheng. The old commander has already set up a banquet. If we don't go, wouldn't it be a waste of his kindness?"

"Yes, Marshal!" Although Qin Fan didn't want to go to Bincheng, but now that the people from Fengbei Navy were still there, he couldn't persuade them.

After all, we are all on the sea. If we say we can’t go at this time, isn’t that just a disguised form of giving in?

"Thank you for your visit, Marshal. I won't bother you anymore!" Seeing that the mission was completed, Fu Yuyang breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk towards the side of the ship.

Before coming, their boss Mo Wenshan had specifically warned him that Zhang Ye was extremely domineering and arrogant, and not easy to get along with, and ordered him not to provoke him, otherwise he would most likely lose his life.

Now it seems that he is not as vicious as the boss said. He is young, easy-going and polite.

"General, I'm afraid this is a Hongmen Feast, and they're here with ill intentions!" Lu Shan observed the fleet on the other side, frowning and guessing, "Judging from the situation, they've been waiting here for quite some time, specifically to block us."

"Old Zhang is just a cunning bandit. He won't do anything without profit. Anything that makes him bother and trouble himself is profitable."

"Don't panic. This place is not far from Bincheng anyway. Let's go over and take a look first. I also want to know what the old guy is up to." Zhang Ye stood at the bow of the boat, looking up at the blue sky above his head, full of anticipation for Lao Zhang's invitation.

I didn’t have a very satisfying trip to Silla, and I hope Bincheng can bring some different surprises.
