Chapter 688: Little Lonely Mountain

"Wu Xing and He Fengshan's move, although the effect is quite significant, makes the major wealthy families between Jianghuai and local officials dare not give up their hands to respect the order. But, after all, it is overbearing. It's too strong, and if something happens, I'm afraid that this sharp sword will catch them off guard. ”

The small lonely mountain on the surface of the Susong River is actually a river-like island-like geographical landscape in the middle of the Yangtze River. There is only one mile around, and the lonely peak towers, which is known for being strange, dangerous, lonely and lonely. There is also a description of "looking at the Taishi chair in the east, looking at a pen in the south, looking like a hanging bell in the west, and looking at the roaring dragon in the north".

Because of its terrain is also very dangerous, it is a place where soldiers of all dynasties must fight. After the Southern Song Dynasty, the beacon tower and the fort were set up here, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Red Turban Army and Yu Que, Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang, people from all walks of life have fought against each other here, in order to fight for success or failure, so there is the saying of "Anqing Portal" and "Chu Sai Wu Pass".

The Qixiu Temple, dressing pavilion and other buildings on the mountain have long been changed in function, and have become the watchtower and beacon tower of the naval division of the Southern Guangdong Army, and a large number of personnel and materials are stationed here to provide guarantee for the water village in the north of the river at the foot of the mountain.

On the flagship of the water village, Shi Lang was sitting on the side, listening to the teachings of his second uncle Li Peiting opposite.

On the bow of the boat, the combination of the uncle and the nephew and son-in-law sat opposite each other, and the small red clay stove flame in front of them was slightly beating. The eyes of the two of them only looked at the narrow river sky, and looked at the scenery of the small lonely mountain section of the river, which is known as Haimen Mountain. On both sides of the river, the yellow grass reeds, the water and the sky are the same color, and from time to time some water birds rise and fall over the boat.

"Uncle, why do you say this?"

Because he is the eldest horse of the Nanyue military system, Shi Lang, who married Li Huamei, naturally wants to follow Li Huamei and call Li Peiting uncle. However, although he respects Li Peiting on the lips, in his heart, as a top figure among the sailors, he has several routes to the hometown of Yin Shang and collected the Hawaiian Islands, and he belongs to the combination of the Fujian Maritime Group and the Nanyue Military Group. Shi Lang naturally has a reason to be proud.

"When my father was in Luzon, he also used a lot of punishment methods, and killed thousands of Luzon natives and Spaniards who were in rebellion at one time, thus defining the island of Luzon and the surrounding islands. Now, the sister-in-law, Wu Xing and others are in the north, and they are doing this kind of killing, which is just the old wisdom of the master and the master back then. ”

"Don't say that the sister-in-law is acting like this in Shandong and Jianghuai, that is, Uncle Xu and Xu Huanshan are in the hometown of Yin Shang, isn't it the same as the Ruoshui Road Chief, killing those Hongmaoyi people and those natives who have forgotten their ancestors?"

Since Xu Huanshan took office as the governor of the Eastern Expeditionary Army, Qian Liangshi, and became the supreme commander of the Nanyue Army in the hometown of Yin Shang, he has also made rapid progress. Relying on the transit stations established on the sea route, everything that happened in this land, known as the homeland of Yin Shang and the country of Fusang, Li Shouhan and his power command organization could be quickly reported.

Of course, this is very fast, and at least more than three months. After all, there is a Pacific Ocean between the two places.

However, this does not prevent people of the level of Shi Lang and Li Peiting from being able to quickly learn about the situation beyond the same situation. Moreover, it is possible that these situations will appear in the various newspapers controlled by the Nanyue Army after half a month or more than a month, and spread rapidly through the newspapers and the mouths of storytellers in teahouses and restaurants.

"You said that Governor Xu and Ruoshui are very lucky gods?" mentioned Xu Huanshan and Ruoshui, and Li Peiting, an arrogant person, also had a touch of admiration on his face.

Since Xu Huanshan arrived in the land of Fusang, he sent an order to the tribes of Yin Shang's hometown in the name of the governor of the Eastern Expeditionary Army of the Southern Guangdong Army of the Ming Dynasty, and Yin Lei Shangfeng's subordinates went to convey it. The first is to announce their arrival, and all the descendants of the Dashang East Route Army who are willing to belong to the Eastern Expeditionary Army will be rewarded with official positions. Second, it is also necessary to feel the situation of the tribes everywhere. Dealing with these indigenous tribes, Xu Huanshan still has a lot of experience.

In addition to telling the world, it is also necessary to spread it to people in all directions. Xu Huanshan sent messengers, escorted by guides sent by Yin Lei and Shang Feng and more than 100 heavily armed soldiers of the Nanyue Army and Yin Shang soldiers, to convey the orders of the governor to the colonial settlements established by the Hongmaoyi people.

"The land of Fusang was originally the land of my Chinese Yanhuang and Yin Shang's Eastern Expeditionary Army, and the Hongmaoyi people have occupied this place for more than 100 years, and there is the heart of the dove to occupy the magpie's nest. Now, according to a series of treaties signed between our Nanyue Army and the Portuguese princes, all the rights of the former Spanish Empire in the so-called American region have been transferred to the name of our Ming Nanyue Army. From now on, it is necessary to abide by the orders and laws of the Governor's Office, and those who do not comply will be dealt with by military law. We hereby inform you and so on! (Ridiculous, isn't it?) The treaty signed between the Nanyue Army and the Portuguese decided the power of the Spaniards. For this episode, see the previous article "Selling the Old Wang's Field Next Door". In addition, we can refer to the Munich Agreement in which Britain and France decided to cede the Sudetenland of the Czech Republic to Germany. )

How can such an attitude make those red-haired people who are greedy and bent on making a fortune in the New World swallow this breath? Few heroes who rebelled against "tyranny" stood up. However, who is Xu Huanshan? I've been dealing with all kinds of indigenous tribes for decades, and this process routine is all too familiar. Often, the people of the colonial settlements have just drawn their swords to resist, and the firearms here are fired in unison.

It's easy to deal with these migrant settlements, just kill them. However, dealing with the Indian tribes who have been brainwashed by Western missionaries and converted to Christianity, Protestantism, Catholicism and other crucifixive sects requires a different way.

Wakamido chief made a grand appearance.

If the waterway is long, who is it? A veteran liar who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time! The tricks of the charlatan warlock are so skillful! Seeing that a Taoist wearing a demonic outer path robe (no way, he is so stubborn that all cross sects are demonic outer paths) came out, he invited the other party to fight the Fa.

"Make money in the oil pot"!

Looking at the liquid of oil flowers churning in the iron pot, how could the shepherds of the Cross Sect in Taoist robes have the courage to reach out to the oil pot and fish out the Nanzhong Tongbao churning in the pot? When the chief of Ruoshui held the dripping oil flower in his hand, the descendants of the Yin Shang who had converted to the Cult of the Cross often fell to their knees and bowed their heads. Who would have thought that most of the pan in the oil pot is vinegar?

Of course, such a trick doesn't have to be every time in Turin. There are also times when I meet the master of the crook fellow scammers.

When the Apache tribe was co-opted, he met a master.

Enzo, the priest who controls the ideology of this tribe that first learned the art of riding and raising horses, is also an old man. Knowing the existence of the chief of the waterway, he quietly sent people to the mountains and forests to bury gunpowder and prepare things to ignite the fire.

"Lambs of God, if you turn your backs on your faith today, God will send down the last days of heavenly punishment, the thunder of heaven will destroy your mountains and forests, and the fire of hell will burn your crops."

Before the words fell, there was a loud noise in the mountains and forests, followed by a fierce flame. It was exactly the scene of the last days of heavenly punishment described by Pastor Enzo, and this scene suddenly frightened the faces of those tribesmen. Some of the tribes even took the opportunity to incite people to take up swords and guns to kill the infidels in front of them, and God would forgive us lost lambs.

For a while, the crowd was turbulent, and countless people were about to come up and kill Ruoshui Dao Chief. However, our Ruoshui Dao is long, and he is not in a hurry, just chanting words in his mouth and stepping on gossip steps. Suddenly, his eyes widened: "Bah! Demon, the original form has not yet appeared! ”

With this shout, a fire suddenly appeared on the two fingers of the index and middle fingers of the chief of the water channel, and as his hands flew up and down, the Apache people were dazzled and uneasy.

"Demons! is a little evil magic, and he dares to show off in front of the Taoist master! Let's see a certain family rain rain and extinguish the demon fire! Return the food, clothing and rice of the creatures on this side! ”

While holding a peachwood sword and chanting a mantra, he stepped on Tiangang Beidou and danced.

His entourage translated his words aloud to the Apache people, but when they looked up at the cloudless sky, where was a trace of cloud?

However, I don't know if it's the luck of the water chief, or if his spell is really effective. With the pretentiousness of the chief of the waterway, several black clouds quickly filled the sky, and the torrential rain fell, and the mountain fire set by Pastor Enzo quickly disappeared without a trace.

(This, the ocean-atmosphere circulation combined with the geographical environment, as well as the forest fires triggered the rise of hot air, attracting the surrounding cold air to replenish, and the arrival of cold air carrying a lot of water vapor led to local precipitation?) )

And that's not all. When the Apache tied up the Priest Enzo and sent him to Chief Wakasui, Chief Wakasui staged another scene of a peachwood sword slashing the yellow table paper, slashing blood dripping with blood. When the people opened the yellow paper, they were shocked to find that there was a portrait of Pastor Enzo on the yellow paper.

"This is where the primordial spirit of this demon is!" The chief of the water channel swore to these new believers. Enraged, the Apache threw Pastor Enzo and his assistants into the rough Pacific Ocean.

With the annexation of the Apaches, the farming tribes of the Kiche, Kakchik, Mame, Kekchi, Pokoman, Chutuhir, and Joel also quickly defected to the banner of the Eastern Route Army of the Southern Yue Army.

With the input of a large number of technology and production tools in Xu Huanshan, these tribes soon felt the warmth of the same Chinese family, and stepped from wooden farm tools and slash-and-burn farming to the realm of intensive cultivation of iron farm tools, and the level of agricultural production was rapidly upgraded. With the great harvest of grain, the system of health centers in various places was also established.

Within more than a year, the land has been expanded for thousands of miles.

With this foundation, Xu Huanshan had the confidence to directly send official letters to several Spanish governorates, and he was very kind to buy the silver mines under their rule, and of course, Li Shouhan clearly instructed him to control the areas containing a large number of mineral resources.

"The price is yours. The Governor will never make a counteroffer. Xu Huanshan deliberately made a domineering momentum.

"Of course, we also have our requirements. With such a large price, we also need time to prepare. It's better to pay it off in thirty years. ”

"Which of these red-haired people is a good man and a woman? Can you tolerate Xu Laohu riding on his neck and shitting like this, and he has to use their scarf to wipe his butt after pulling? Wait and see, your Uncle Xu will soon have a battle report. Li Peiting made a decision about the situation in the land of Yin Shang thousands of miles away.

What Li Peiting and Shi Lang discussed was the latest situation sent by Xu Huanshan a few months ago.

"The country has always been begged for by knives and guns. Let's say we are today. ”

Shi Lang intercepted dozens of large and small ships in the advance of Zuo Liangyu's army in the river section of Susong County. A row of rockets fired, and the ships obediently dropped sail and anchored, anchored on the river to be inspected.

It's not that the officers and men of the Left Army are so unhelpful, they are too far behind in their work on the water. Where is Shi Lang's opponent of these veterans across the Pacific?

Looking at the muzzles of the black hole and mortar cannons, dozens of large and small merchant ships obediently dropped their sails. Although these ships were only river boats, they did not have the opportunity to see the majesty of the naval divisions of the Nanyue Army at sea, but they were also used to running to the Wusongkou area. I have also dealt with those sand boat gangs that run the North and South Oceans, and I know the style of these sailors and uncles, and follow their rules, so it is easier to talk than anyone else. If you don't follow their rules, then they will use cannons and rockets to teach you to understand their rules and how to follow their rules!

Those cannons, these boatmen on the Yangtze River have also seen the power. From time to time, the gunboats of the small lonely mountain water division battalion would target the reef in the middle of the river to fire a salvo. At the end, it has the power of opening mountains and cracking stones!

So, Shi Lang fired a volley of rockets, and captured fifty or sixty boats, large and small, and the four or five thousand officers and men of the Left Army on board, under the threat of artillery and firearms, obediently abandoned their weapons and surrendered, and were scattered and imprisoned on different ships by the naval division and land battalion.

These four or five thousand captives were nothing in the eyes of the generals of the Southern Yue Army, who were accustomed to seeing big battles. In Nanyang, in the Wa Kingdom, even in Shandong, in Guangdong back then, just after a battle, not thousands of prisoners? However, these prisoners were a bit nerve-wracking for the left army.

The reason is simple. Those who can take on the task of the vanguard sharp knife company can not be ordinary troops? These people are all elite and daring warriors selected from the Left Army. At least they are veterans who have fought for several years, although they are not the qualifications of the family, but they are also elite soldiers, and they are not comparable to those strong men who are coerced.

As a result, the momentum of Zuo Liangyu's army's eastward advance came to an abrupt halt as if someone had slammed on the brakes.

Zuo Liangyu straightened out the soldiers and horses, and at the same time ordered someone to find a way to communicate and explain to Shi Lang first, no matter how he apologized, the first thing was to get these thousands of elites back. However, will Shi Lang let him get his wish?

"Your Excellency, what are you going to do with these people? Do you really return them to Zuo Kunshan? Li Peiting, who had other ideas in his heart, tapped a few handwritten letters from Zuo Liangyu on the small table with his index and middle fingers playfully.

"Give it back to him? Let his minions be sharp and full of wings? Shi Lang sneered, and Shi Shiran refilled two-thirds of the hot tea in the purple sand cup in front of Li Peiting. Uncle, please! Autumn tea in Wuyi Mountain. ”

"Then the old way, send to Nanzhong and serve hard labor! In the mountains and forests, but labor is consumed very quickly! Li Peiting's face was also calm, as if he was talking about a very ordinary matter, rather than a major event involving thousands of people between the two military groups.

Those logging sites, mining sites, are all suffering a large number of casualties every year or even every day. If these four or five thousand people are divided, it won't take a year or two, but I'm afraid that more than half of them will be lost!

"These 5,000 people, naturally, will not be returned to Zuo Liangyu. However, it can't be sent to Nanzhong. It's a joy for you, second uncle. Shi Lang's face was fleeting.

"What do you mean by that?" Li Peiting instinctively realized that something big was about to happen.

Shi Lang didn't say much, but just ordered the soldiers around him to go to the stern of the boat to take a look, and the net placed in the river had a harvest.

"Second uncle, these five thousand people, I have other uses."

"What is it for?"

"The second uncle is a romantic character, piano, chess, books, paintings, everything, kicking and playing, tasting bamboo and silk, playing songs and dances, needless to say, if you want to come to this insect gambling thing, the second uncle is also an expert."

The so-called fighting insects are actually fighting crickets and fighting crickets. Li Peiting, as a child of a family, has also dabbled in a period of time, but in recent years, he has rarely had the opportunity to meet good insects.

"Second uncle, since he is an expert, he knows the rules of teasing crickets. Shengdou Xiaomin fights crickets, but the stems of the cow tendon grass are split into filaments, teasing the tentacles on the crickets, making the crickets angry and full of fighting spirit. The crickets of the wealthy families are made of cow tendons, and one has black hair and grass silk, the hair is made of horse hair and wool, and the grass silk is made of aquatic plants. ”

"But if you want to tease Zuo Liangyu, the cricket, you have to use these 5,000 people to make a tease grass and boost his fighting spirit." Li Peiting broke Shi Lang's intentions in one sentence.

"Exactly, the second uncle is really as wise as a torch, and he can't hide anything from you." Shi Lang's words are half boastful, half sincere.

"It's really magnificent! What a spirit! With 5,000 lives, he aroused the anger of Zuo Liangyu's army and made them ram into the muzzle of our Nanyue army. Li Peiting raised his big fingers and praised the young heroes in front of him.

"What did my uncle say! Over the years, my father has been reluctant to act in righteousness, and he has inevitably shrunk his actions. If you are still as decisive as you were back then, don't talk about the position in Beijing, I'm afraid that Liansheng Kyoto has already been taken! Now it's good, a lot of money and food are provided every year, and you have to be exposed to the birds of the group of pickled talents in the court! We simply tore our faces and kicked the table over, to see who was afraid! ”
