Chapter 577: Clearing the Demons
On the vast river, troop carriers are heading eastward and are about to reach the mouth of the sea.
There, the sea-going ships with the South China Sea Navy Division will be responsible for transporting the 20,000 people, and the Chamber of Commerce will be responsible for the horses, armor, materials, money and food.
Transporting troops by sea has one more advantage than marching by land, that is, there is no need to trim and do not need to stop to sleep.
The front line has long been strong, so when Yang Lin goes, he will take Shenglong City in one go.
The Song army, which had been standing by and watching, also took action and conquered the counties north of Thang Long City one by one.
The army of Cochin in the north then entered the city, and it was a round of bloody purge.
When they arrived at Huating, the South China Sea Sailors finally arrived, and the troop carriers and horse boats with empty bellies stopped at the harbor.
Yang Lin was very satisfied, Xujiazhuang absorbed a large number of shipwrights, and constantly stimulated technological innovation with high bonuses, and the boats were built more and more professionally.
As long as there is sufficient demand for HNA, technological innovation will advance at a high speed, and sooner or later this ocean will be conquered.
The last time I heard Xu Jin, who was in Beijing, say that there are now ships that can raise livestock, grow vegetables, and be equipped with fishing gear to catch aquatic products, which is exactly the necessary vessel for supplies for ocean-going expeditions.
Huating Port, as a compromise with Liang Shicheng at the beginning, gave up the three city port divisions, and personally demarcated and developed the new city port of the city, and now it has developed into a unique port.
Many Dongying ships like to go ashore from here and purchase from Jiangnan.
Several officials on the shore waved, Yang Lin stepped off the deck, and Xie Zhen and Xie Bao greeted him.
"I've seen Shaozai." The brothers said together.
Xie Bao said: "How long does Shaozai stay here, his subordinates have already prepared a banquet. ”
Yang Lin shook his head and said, "The itinerary is urgent, and I won't stay here for long, so I'll leave after the soldiers and horses change ships." Let me ask you one thing, how happened to the bandits in Jiangnan during this time? ”
Xie Bao said, "Shaozai, rest assured, Governor Yuwen divided ten war zones, laid a net of heaven and earth, and eliminated thieves inch by inch. Now that the Maitreya Sect has been uprooted, the number two person in the sect, Huang Lishi, was killed, and Wang Jingang is estimated to not be able to jump for a few days. ”
"You help me spread a word, just grasping it will not work, the main thing is to eradicate the spread of this cult. To put it simply, missionary work needs to be in place, especially in remote mountain villages, you know? ”
"Don't worry, Shaozai, the next official will definitely arrive."
Yang Lin sighed, Jiangnan is a rich place, but there are still many people who are so poor that they can't survive.
The magnificence of the Great Song Dynasty is concentrated in Kaifeng Mansion, exhausting the world's elite to raise a Kaifeng Mansion for the king and scholars to enjoy, such a deformed prosperous era is Zhao Ji's prosperous age, but not my Yang Lin's prosperous age.
In the implementation of the new policy, even if there is great resistance, all the obstacles that stand in the way must be split.
Give me another half a year, and the new policy will be full of one year, and the results will be seen.
The new beneficiaries are a larger, broader group of people who will become their own solid supporters.
The people eat and can live their own lives, who will take the risk to rebel.
These cults are small, and they can no longer easily preach and cause trouble.
When a group of people can't survive, any deception and deception will be regarded by them as the last straw.
Yang Lin rested for a while in Huating, and then boarded the ship and left, and further on was the area where the pirates were fighting, and everyone couldn't help but be vigilant.
The sun is slowly sinking along the horizon, and a new moon is already rising in the sky.
At this time, in Taiping Prefecture, the quarry town, the sound of hooves resounded like thunder throughout the night.
Wang Jingang took the lead and led a group of subordinates wielding long knives to kill directly in the center of the county.
The cultists behind him have been in the mountains for a long time, and they are all about to be driven crazy by him, and they can't be restrained when they suddenly enter the city. Rushing into the streets, houses, shops, and wantonly burning, killing, and looting.
The people of the city woke up from a dream and suddenly saw many robbers and bandits who had broken into their homes, and fled in all directions in panic.
Even if some tried to resist, they were quickly cut down and killed, and the horses ran all the way, and everywhere they could hear heart-rending screams and women's cries.
Outside the city, a team of dozens of people followed closely behind.
Yang Tianning breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Thief birds, I finally let the grandfathers catch up." Remember, capture King Kong alive, and kill other personalities. ”
He had less than fifty men under his command, and no less than five hundred thieves, but they were not afraid at all, and they were ready to annihilate their opponents. Yang Tianning made a few gestures, and then the person disappeared into the streets, blending into the night, as if he had never appeared.
Xu Jiu, who was riding a high-headed horse, followed closely behind Wang Jingang, but whenever someone ran out of the house, he directly slashed with a knife.
Under the light of the fire, the young horse thief couldn't suppress the excitement on his cheeks, and the brothers of the cottage came and went to rob houses and houses on weekdays, and at most only opened some villages and forts.
Today, it was easy to take down a county seat, and it seems that the Maitreya Sect is really the one who has done it, and it is really the right move to cooperate with them.
Xu Jiu even thought that if he won the world in the future, wouldn't he be a general.
In fact, the decline of Maitreya Religion and its defeat by the imperial court is already a well-known thing.
Wang Jingang didn't know where to find such a stupid thief, and he was ready to rob the quarry town and hoard a batch of supplies so that he could escape overseas.
He didn't want to make a comeback in Dongshan, and he was bent on preaching in a state, and he had already harmed a small country, and he himself had been addicted to the emperor.
"Hugh is going to delay and hurry to the county government to rob the treasury." Seeing that the hearts of the horse bandits were fluctuating, and the greed in their eyes was strong, Wang Jingang immediately reined in the horse and shouted.
Xu Jiu disagreed, and said: "Sect Master, let the brothers have fun first, we have always robbed the village like this, and only take money when we kill it." None of those Diao people dared to resist, and obediently took out the money. ”
He was so proud that he didn't notice that Wang Jingang's face was not good. Hearing the women's cries for help and wailing from the surrounding houses, Xu Jiu, the king of the mountain, also had a crooked thought.
Idiot! Wang Jingang scolded in his heart, this is the county seat, you should still be a village.
Looking at the hundred and ten horse thieves behind him, Wang Jingang shouted loudly: "Brothers, there are treasures and beautiful ladies looted by corrupt officials, believe me and kill them!" ”
These words are much stronger than any big truth, and a group of horse bandits suddenly agreed, ready to hurry up and go straight to the county government in the city.
Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking the sky, and the thief Xu Jiu fell from his horse.
Xu Jiu fell to the ground with a muffled voice, blood flowed from his mouth, Wang Jingang froze for a moment, and then shouted: "We have been ambushed!" Evacuate! ”
Cold arrows rained down, and the archers didn't know where to hide, but the bandits were all burning torches and became natural targets in the night.
On thatched houses, trees, and haystacks, the repeating sleeve crossbow is of little use in the military formation, but it is the best killing weapon at this time.
Especially in the hands of these people, they are all quenched with poison, and this weapon is a killer weapon for Japan.
After the Japanese surrendered to Yang Lin, it was improved by Yang Tianci, and the rate of fire was faster.
Such a ghostly scene shocked the remnants of the Maitreya Sect and the horse bandits and bandits, and the people around them fell one by one, but they didn't even see the shadow of the enemy.
"Sect Master, it's not good, the road into the city is blocked... Blocked..."
Wang Jingang finally saw clearly that the sect member who reported the news was hit by a cold arrow the size of a nail in his forehead.
