"Ashore! Ashore! ”

The fishing boat ran aground in the shallows, and Zhu Chongba stood at the bow of the boat, raising his arms and shouting.

This is not a pier, nor is it a port. The edge of the shoal is full of rocks and hills.

It's a strange land, and even the air smells salty of seawater. But land is hope.

One ship after another ran aground, and the soldiers on board landed in the front sea like dumplings, laughing and walking towards the hard road.

In the pile of stones on the shore and on the beach, a few teenagers who were carrying baskets and picking up shrimp, crab and shells were sluggish.

When he saw these people and the soldiers' dress, he threw down the basket in horror and turned his head and ran.

"Grab them and ask where this is!" Zhu Chongba climbed to the shore first, and the stones in the sea pierced the soles of his feet.

"Just catch it, don't hurt people, don't hurt them!" Zhu Chongba commanded loudly.

More and more soldiers came to the shore, and the surrounding houses were full of vegetation and vegetation, and there were farmland and cooking smoke in the distance.

After a lot of hardships, he finally arrived in the world.

"Water! There is water! ”

With a shout, several soldiers rushed to the side of the road, and in the cracks in the stones at the foot of the mountain, the clear spring water flowed slowly.

Then, the others swarmed past, and along both sides of the creek, there were all men kneeling there, gulping water.

"What's the hurry! Boiled and drunk! Zhu Chongba hurriedly said, he learned from Zhu Wu, you must drink boiling water, Zhu Wu said that there are insects in the water.

He didn't know what kind of worm it was, but what Zhu Wu said, it shouldn't be wrong.

However, it is useless to say anything at this time. Water, life-saving water.

Over there, Zhu Chongba's own soldiers grabbed a child and came over, and the child was crying and struggling.

"Don't be afraid, we won't hurt you!" Zhu Chongba took out a handful of money, the child's eyes lit up, and he stopped crying.

Zhu Chongba asked, "Child, where is this?" Tell us the money is yours! ”

"I, I don't know, I only know that this is Jiaozhou!"

That's right, Zhu Chongba nodded with a smile, "How far is it?" How far is this from Jiaozhou City? ”

"I don't know, I have to ask me!"

"Your father? Where is it? ”

The child pointed to the smoke in the distance, "My dad is over there!" ”

Xu Da said, "Brother, it's a Zhuangzi!" ”

"Fence it off!" Zhu Chongba said, "Restrain the brothers and don't hurt anyone!" ”

Xu Da took the order and left, and Zhu Chongba continued to order, "Tang He, let the brothers camp here, it's not early, let's have a hot meal!" ”

"There's not much food!" Soup and Positive Color Road.

"That's enough for two full meals!" Zhu Chongba gritted his teeth and said, "As long as there is a city, are you afraid that there will be no food?" ”

Tang He took the order and went.

Soon, amid the shouts and scolding of the officers, the soldiers, who were lying on the ground and did not want to get up, reluctantly got up. Carrying grain and grass from fishing boats, and carrying supplies.

The seaside, for a short time, turned into a barracks. Although they had only 30,000 men, they had only ten days' bread and grass.

But before leaving, their weapons, their equipment, the Han army did not deter at all. This team, as long as they are well fed and drunk, can fight at any time.

The night breeze is gradually rising, and the wind here is cooler than Huaixi.

The campfire burned violently, and from time to time moths threw themselves into the fire. The camp was filled with the snoring of soldiers.

Even if the mosquitoes are flying around them, they sleep very sweetly. People can only really sleep when they are next to the ground.

All the generals of the Haozhou Army were all around Zhu Chongba. Tired, they knew that now was not the time for them, the leaders, to sleep.

Zhu Chongba used a wooden stick to draw a figure on the ground, and the people in Zhuangzi just now told him everything they knew in horror.

"Here we are!" Zhu Chongba nodded on the map, "Jiaozhou City is twenty miles away." I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are. ”

"Why don't you take a few brothers to the road tomorrow?" Xu Da said, "Find a way to blend in!" ”

"No!" Zhu Chongba shook his head, "Here in Shandong, you have to go to the city to introduce your household registration, and we foreigners will be exposed with one mouth." ”

Tang He also said, "Yes, you can't startle the snake!" ”

"Lao Dong!" Zhu Chongba suddenly looked at Dong Junxiao, "What can you do?" ”

Dong Junxiao listened silently all the time and didn't speak.

Now he seems to be no different from Zhu Chongba and others, and the bearing of a great official of Mengyuan is long gone.

"There is a way to break Jiaozhou!" Dong Luxiao looked at Zhu Chongba, "But below, I want to ask the manager a few words!" ”

"You say!"

"Boss, do you want to be a rogue, or do you want to take root in Shandong and achieve a foundation!"

Zhu Chongba said with a smile, "Of course, it is to achieve the foundation, otherwise what would I do in Shandong!" ”

Dong Shuxiao said, "If the general manager wants to achieve a foundation in Shandong, please restrain the soldiers, and do not rob, indiscriminately kill, arson, or bully women!" ”

Then, Dong Xiaoxiao's gaze swept over everyone's faces, "We are all foreigners, if we want to win the support of the people here, we must do better than the imperial court!" Shandong has been heavily taxed year after year, and the grain tax of the imperial court has been levied at five, and the people have long been separated from Germany.

We should cherish this place more than we cherish our own home. Choose to demote officials, appease the local people, treat the gentry well, and give preferential treatment to scholars.

We can't let people think that we are robbers, we are rebels! ”

Speaking of this, Dong Junxiao looked at Zhu Chongba, "You must not grab or kill casually." Military discipline is the will of the people. If you want to be a rogue first, you should not say anything. ”

"Okay, let's agree!" Zhu Chongba nodded and said, "What do we think too." Saying that, he sighed, "I won't tell you, at sea, we are thinking, why is he Zhu Xiaowu so good?" It is because of military discipline that he does not kill, rob, or slaughter. ”

"We are in Shandong, and we must do it." Zhu Chongba continued, "Tomorrow morning, the order will go down, and in order to resist military discipline, kill and robber people!" ”

"No!" The people answered.

Zhou Dexing said with some concern, "Chongba, the brothers follow us all the way, don't let them be happy, can't say it!" ”

"Home is gone, what are you happy about?"

Zhu Chongba sneered, "Killing, robbing, and harming women is fun?" Ming'er told the brothers, after Jiaozhou, I will take out the things in the official treasury and reward them. Let's Zhu Chongba, when did you treat your brother badly? ”

Zhou Dexing stopped talking, and Dong Junxiao nodded slowly.

"Lao Dong, tell me your method!" Zhu Chongba asked.

"I was an official in Shandong, and there were Jiaozhou people among the soldiers below, and it was not difficult for them to sneak into the city!" Dong Shuxiao smiled bitterly, "When the chief manager leads the army to Jiaozhou, the inside and outside should be combined, and Jiaozhou can be broken!" ”

"Lao Dong!" Zhu Chongba patted Dong Junxiao and the others on the shoulder, "You are really the savior sent to us by God!" You are our Zhang Liang, Han Xin! ”

The others also laughed, they were all veterans of the war, there were no siege equipment, the city was not easy to fight, and they could only rely on people.

But the inside and the outside should be combined, and it will be much easier to fight. Fortresses are always breached from within.

The moon, the sun, is a cycle.

In the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks, the soldiers of the Haozhou Army, who had slept all night, slowly woke up.

They looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, Li Lanshang had a blank look, this is not Huaixi, this is not Huai'an, this is not their home.

One soldier stood on a stone and looked at the sea, then another leaned over, and then more and more people stood up and looked at the sea.

The boats are gone, the boats they came to this land on, gone.

The sea is empty, there is nothing, only waves, only waves.

A young soldier grinned, sobbed silently, then crouched down and buried his head in his own hands.

However, he immediately looked up.

Because a pair of warm big hands, on his neck, patted gently.

"Steward!" The soldier had tears in his eyes, "Can't we go home?" ”

"We don't have a home!"

Zhu Zhong jumped on the stone, stood in the middle of the crowd, and shouted, "Brothers, we have no home!" ”

"We think along the way, you have a lot to ask. Ask us why I want to take you to sea. Ask us why you don't stay at home. Now we're telling you, we don't have a home! ”

Zhu Chongba's voice covered the waves in the distance, and under the sun that had just risen in the early morning, he walked back and forth among the soldiers, shouting loudly.

"Our Luzhou, Haozhou, was attacked by Zhu Xiaowu, and Huai'an was also snatched away by him, he said that if he didn't give him Huai'an, he would attack the city and kill you all!"

Zhu Chongba was shouting, "So, in order to survive, let's take you out to sea and come here, here, Shandong!" ”

Many soldiers, crying.

"Don't cry, as long as God doesn't let us die, we will take you to fight a way out!" Zhu Chongba continued to yell, "Brothers, not only can we not go back, our food is gone, and the remaining food is only enough for us to eat a full meal!" What do you say we'll do? ”

No one spoke, they were all looking at him.

"In front of it is Jiaozhou City, there is food in the city, there are houses, you can eat enough, you can sleep." Zhu Chongba walked among the soldiers, looking at what he saw, everyone's eyes, "This is not our home, but in the future, this is our home, we will take root here, and we will make a world!" ”

Between heaven and earth, only Zhu Chongba's voice echoed.

"We have no way out, and we can't go back home. The only way out is forward. Zhu Chongba jumped on the stone, "Jiaozhou City is ahead." Sons and daughters, die of war or starve! ”

"Die in battle!" Thousands of people were in the middle, and the sea suddenly calmed.

"Sons, follow us!" Zhu Chongba beat his chest, "Kill!" ”
