On the bow of the ship, Liu Zhenglong was full of emotion, he didn't expect that the rich Jiangnan would become the current miserable situation, and he really couldn't figure out whether this problem was caused by the Fangla uprising or because of Zhu Mian's rampant conquest.

Liang Lie stood behind Liu Zhenglong cautiously, he knew that his fate was in the hands of this young man, whether the whole family was in prison and never came out, or whether he would make meritorious contributions and fight for a better future, it depended on the other party's attitude towards him.

Liu Zhenglong looked back at Liang Lie and said, "How could the three thousand water army in your hand be defeated by bandits, is it because you are incompetent or other reasons?" ”

Liang Lie smiled bitterly, he didn't know how to answer Shangguan's question, because this defeat was too much, this guy couldn't tell clearly, anyway, he was defeated in a daze.

Liang Lie's son, Liang Hong, said cautiously: "Lord Liu, this time it is mainly because the bandits have infiltrated dozens of members of the water army in the name of mission. ”

"Is that so?" Liu Zhenglong's tone was much colder, he stared straight at Liang Hong, so frightened that this timid and scared guy fell directly to the ground, kowtowing incessantly, and he didn't even have the courage to speak.

Liang Hongyu, who was hiding in the cabin, was not going to come out to show his face, but his brother said such a retarded word, which was equivalent to pushing the Liang family into the abyss of no return.

Liang Hongyu walked up to Liu Zhenglong and said, "The little woman Liang Hongyu came to see Lord Liu." ”

This is the legendary first female general Liang Hongyu in the Southern Song Dynasty, this is the beautiful general who was beaten into an official prostitute after Liang Lie's father and son were imprisoned. Liu Zhenglong was attracted by this beautiful general whose height almost caught up with him after a glance, that heroic aura, that extra-long beautiful legs, and delicate facial features, it can be said that the whole person was hooked away by this beauty.

Liang Lie was a person who came over, and he understood what was going on at a glance, he coughed lightly and said, "Lord Liu, this is the little girl Hongyu, she is not sensible, I hope your lord will forgive me." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, I don't know if Miss Hongyu wants to explain the rout of the water army?" Liu Zhenglong also realized that he was a little confused just now, he no longer looked at Liang Hongyu, but looked at the river and said to himself: "There are less than 1,000 of the 3,000 sailors left, and it is absolutely impossible not to give an explanation to the above." Unless. ”

"Unless you make meritorious deeds, right?" Although Liang Hongyu was only sixteen years old, this ice and snow smart beauty knew that if she wanted the Liang family not to be held accountable for defeat, she must need the young official in front of her to give her a chance, so she was stared straight by Liu Zhenglong, but her face was flushed with shame, and she was not particularly disgusted, she lowered her head and said coquettishly: "It's no secret that the local army eats empty salaries, my father is upright, he won't please his superiors, and there is no way to make money, so the navy army below has been in a state of lack of money, low morale, and insufficient combat effectiveness, Even the assembly is not complete. Coupled with the instigation of the bandits, several of them betrayed, so there was this rout. ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple, isn't it related to your brother's romantic gamble?" After Liu Zhenglong saw Liang Hongyu, he didn't plan to hold Liang Lie responsible, after all, the combat effectiveness of the official army was insufficient, and it was no longer anyone's responsibility to talk about repeated defeats, I am afraid that this problem existed in the entire army of the Great Song Dynasty.

Liang Lie knew that Liu Zhenglong said this, that is, he was not ready to pursue it, and he said in a firm tone: "Lord Liu, our father and son must be guilty of meritorious service. ”

"Wear the guilt and make meritorious service, wait until the official meets King Yun, now we must complete the reorganization of the naval army as quickly as possible and escort the official to Suzhou." Liu Zhenglong is not lustful, he can't do without this water army, after all, it is not a big problem to arrest Zhu Mian, but if you want to escort Zhu Mian's wealth to the capital unconsciously, it is even more difficult than ascending to the sky, and you must be inseparable from this water army.

Now the battle of pacifying Fangla has not yet begun, and the 30,000 forbidden army has not yet come to Jiangnan, at this time, Liu Zhenglong does not have any task, and now he wants to take this naval army around the waters of Jiangnan.

Liu Zhenglong didn't plan to talk too much to Liang Lie, after all, everyone hadn't worked together yet, and they couldn't figure out what was going on with this person, but sooner or later they would have to recover the Liang family father and son, who didn't have much ability.

At this moment, Liang Lie was frightened, he knew that his fate had basically been tied to this Lord Liu, and if he wanted to change his life against the sky, he could only go this way if he wanted to make meritorious contributions.

Liang Lie's father and son obeyed Liu Zhenglong's orders, and very obediently turned to Jieyang, and began to rectify the navy army on the way. The purpose of this naval army rectification work is to make this naval army the second dragon army, but now it can only be incorporated under the banner of the dragon army, and cannot form an army alone, otherwise the Privy Council will not be able to pass that level.

Jieyang is a small place, but the three tyrants of Jieyang are very famous, they are Li Jun, Li Li, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Jieyang Town Mu Chun, Mu Hong two brothers, Xunyang River Zhang Shun, Zhang Heng two brothers. These three tyrants can be said to be rampant in the local township, covering the sky with one hand. However, hegemony is only in a small area, and it is not up to the level of the government's extermination, but it has a huge impact on the merchants who come and go, and robbery has become the commonplace of the three tyrants.

How to win the Jieyang Three Tyrants, Liu Zhenglong has no idea about this, he wants to discuss it with everyone to see how to start.

Bao Xu, the god of mourning, took the lead and said: "My lord, most of us are not used to water warfare, even if Lord Liang is familiar with water warfare, but the water potential of the Xunyang River is complicated, and it is difficult for us to take advantage of the water war, I mean to attack Jieyangling, and after taking Li Jun and others, we will make plans." ”

"I think it's better to hit Jieyang Town first, the terrain here is flat, there is nothing to defend, we can directly take down Mu Chun and Mu Hong in the name of official banditry. On the contrary, attacking Jieyangling, where the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, I am afraid that there will be a large number of casualties, and then the gains will outweigh the losses. "The blue-faced beast Yang Zhi belongs to the kind of person who doesn't talk much, this time he is holding back his strength to grab the first credit, so that these people know that they control the Long Xiang Army, not because they have followed Lord Liu early, but because they really have the ability.

Liang Lie, who was eager to make meritorious service and atone for his crimes, said: "Xunyang River, although the water potential is complicated, but Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun brothers just dominate the local fish market, at most they are scoundrels, not to mention some bandits, their subordinates are dozens of people, it is okay to rob merchant ships, if you want to fight our official ships, it is absolutely impossible, we can start with the Zhang brothers first." ”

Everyone expressed their opinions, but Liu Zhenglong soon had an idea, he waved his hand to signal everyone to calm down and said: "Liang Tuanlian is right, Zhang Shun, Zhang Heng brothers are just dominating the fish market, they are local ruffians and bullies, and they will not impact our fleet." It is up to your Liang family father and son to invite the Zhang brothers to come over, and try to salute first and then soldier, after all, Fang La and other rebels are not far from Jieyang, and if they can't be used by us, they will encounter rebels, either exterminated by the rebels, or absorbed by the rebels. If you can't get over, you'll be killed. ”

The first battle must be a big victory, and it must not be dragged with mud and water, so Liu Zhenglong's attitude towards Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun's brothers is that they must either serve the imperial court or be annihilated directly. He glanced at Liang Lie and said: "This official cherishes talents, but the consequence of going against the imperial court is to kill, and this attitude will be the same in the future." ”

Obviously, this is a red line, obedience is life, disobedience is death, this attitude is what Liu Zhenglong said to everyone, although he is a civil official, but the decisiveness of killing is more ruthless than that of military attachés.

"The lower officials must invite Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun to come over." Liang Lie knew that the so-called invitation to come over was just to keep the other party from being injured, and he was arrested at all. He knows that the first time he does something, he must be neat, otherwise he will never come out.

After arranging the affairs of Xunyang Jiang Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng brothers, Liu Zhenglong continued: "Mu Chun, Mu Hong, the two brothers are a tyrant in Jieyang Town, especially the boss did not block Mu Hong, it is not bad, the family is rich, and he has a group of thugs. Yang Zhi, you bring a hundred brothers to deal with this matter, remember not to cause unnecessary riots in the local area, after all, it is in the town, and it is not good if the movement is too big. ”

For Yang Zhi, this is too pediatric, he believes that he will be able to convince Mu Hong and Mu Chun with his true skills, and if he is disobedient, he will beat them to be obedient.

In the end, Liu Zhenglong said: "Bao Xu and I took 300 people into Jieyangling to take a look at Li Li, what is the state of Li Jun, and see if this group of thieves has the value of being co-opted." If there is no evil in the local area, then they will be destroyed, and the rest of the people will protect the fleet, and there will be no loss. ”

The soldiers were divided into three ways and carried out at the same time, the purpose was to incorporate the three tyrants of Jieyang, in Liu Zhenglong's opinion, this was just an episode, and he didn't want to delay too much time in Jieyang.

Liu Zhenglong didn't expect Liang Hongyu to propose to go to Jieyangling with him, instead of going to Xunyangjiang with her father and brother, but it doesn't matter, this female general really needs to exercise before she can grow up.
