Chapter 590: Liaodong Escort Fleet

Yu Fei, a native of Yangzhou, a captain of the Tang Navy Academy, looks powerful and powerful, people like him, who have lived by the water for generations, are born to be the material of the water army. It is a pity that he was forced to retire from the army due to the shyness of the sailor and repeatedly reducing the establishment.

He was born at an untimely time, and did not catch up with the glorious era of the mighty navy, and the conquests of Goguryeo and Baekje during the Taejong period did not have a chance with him, and the support of Silla against the Japanese invaders during the time of Gojong is still history for him.

The ideal is always plump, and the reality is always too slim. The Tang Dynasty did not flourish in the water army, he was unemployed, and his dream of making meritorious contributions to his ancestors was shattered.

Life has to go on, firewood, rice, oil and salt will not reduce the oppression of you because you have the potential to be a hero, a bucket of rice is nothing, but it can stump a hero.

If you don't give it to be a water army, it's not appropriate, and the horse will die and go. There are many water-related occupations, such as merchant ship bodyguards, boatmen, and fishermen, all of whom can barely 'mix' two meals.

After surviving the psychological run-in period, the fish flew to the reality and surrendered, picked up the pole in a good way, bared his teeth and cracked his mouth to hold the boat for two days, and then threw it, tired, that job was not done by people, and changed careers to be a bodyguard, 'milk' and 'milk', too stuffy, didn't use a knife to cut people and roar on the battlefield.

When he was hesitating, the thorn 'excited' came unexpectedly. Several Luoyang merchants recruited guards to go to sea to do business in Yangzhou market, and the conditions were favorable.

So, Yufei signed up.

When he arrived in Dengzhou and then to Damiao Island, Yu Fei was taken aback, and on the shore, there was the big sea ship he dreamed of-Lou Boat.

The Lou ship is the most important combat ship in the Datang water, and it is fully equipped with weapons. The ship built three buildings, lined with 'female' walls, battle grids, tree flags, crossbows and windows and spears 'holes', and placed and threw car barriers and stone iron juice, like a city fortress.

There are a total of 20 such building ships, each of which can accommodate about 800 soldiers, although it is a little dilapidated and old, and the supporting winch crossbows, throwing carts and shooting rods are incomplete, but in naval battles, they are still full of power.

What shocked Yu Fei the most was that this group of Luoyang businessmen had the ability to reach the sky! Hundreds of craftsmen have been hired to replace the broken equipment on the building ship with some heavy weapons that have been 'obtained' from nowhere. There are many craftsmen who repair, maintain, paint, etc.

In addition, there are dozens of fighting ships, dozens of thousand-load transport ships, where is what maritime business, clearly a naval army!

Rebel?!

Yu Fei's first thought after returning to normal startled him.

Not only Yufei, but also thousands of Jianghuai strong men who applied for the job, and Jianghuai strong men in the same situation as him all had such thoughts.

The leader of Luo Shang's escort is an ugly man with a broken arm, and he answers everyone's doubts: The ship was captured by the pirates, and our only job is to protect the merchant ships and eliminate the pirates! The imperial court gave up the Bohai Sea, and we snatched it back!

No one has a grudge against money, and the more than 1,000 people who were recruited basically have the temperament of adventurers. For the sake of good returns, as long as you don't rebel, what about a gamble? What's more, what the one-armed man said was true, before crossing the sea, under the city of Dengzhou, they did see thousands of Japanese people through the 'dew' of the Jingguan.

In the next few days, the results of the selection surprised Yu Fei and made him even more happy. Because of his rich experience, he was appointed by General Broken Arm as the chief general of the "Yufei" building ship and concurrently served as the deputy general of the whole army. Between the dark and the 'flowers', his dream of being a general of the building ship has come true! It's just that he lacks formal appointment from the imperial court, but it doesn't matter, he is a real person, and he values reality rather than fame.

Time is not waiting, with the old department of the Tang Army Navy Division as the backbone, supplemented by thousands of boatmen and slender men as the grassroots soldiers, the Liaodong escort fleet was officially launched!

Feng Changqing served as the main general, Jingshan was the second, and Yufei was second. Under their leadership, thousands of people began to train hard in full swing, on the one hand, they continued to secretly recruit troops and ships, and on the other hand, they waited for the successive transfer of grain from Jianghuai.

The reason why it calls itself a fleet and does not name it after a fleet is mainly for political reasons. The fleet, that is the war machine, will teach the truth, will be hostile to the court, the fleet, the civilian tool only.

Temple Island and Dengzhou are separated by a sea, and a large number of characters have aroused the vigilance of many people, and various speculations and rumors are flying all over the sky.

Da Yin Xisheng, the elephant is invisible and only exists in legends, and the movement on the temple island cannot be concealed from the assassin Shi Qi Jishan, although Feng Changqing and the others are silent, but with various clues, he can at least guess that Li Huaitang is preparing to build a water division!

What does this Li Langzi mean to 'desire'? Tired of running horses and want to go to the sea to catch turtles?

Qi Jishan will not think about rebellion, only stupid rebels will start from the sea, and he doesn't think that Li Huaitang is interested in being a pirate, interlaced like a mountain, compared to pirates, the future of Zongma grassland can be described as immeasurable.

If he can't guess, he can only give up, he knows Li Langzi's spleen 'nature', and it is only in vain to ask questions, it is better to concentrate on restoring agricultural production in Dengzhou.

With the extinction of the pirates, Dengzhou ushered in a large number of immigrants, and the ownerless wasteland finally became a promising farmland, bringing Qi Jishan a comfortable joy. There are also fears, and the imperial court sent a consolation envoy, under the banner of commending merits, but Qi Jishan has a ghost in his heart, and he can't help but feel uneasy.

Receiving the consolation envoy is tantamount to a battle for Qi Jishan.

As usual, Li Longji sent a close eunuch as a consolation envoy.

The great victory of eliminating bandits has always been abundant in oil and water, and Niu Xiantong did not miss this opportunity as a rule.

In front of Rentou Mountain and a large amount of physical evidence, mainly the clothes and weapons of the widows, Niu Xiantong was unmoved, and he didn't even look at it.

"What about the ship? Can you take the envoy to see the ships of the pirates? ”

Obviously, Niu Xiantong was instructed by a master when he left Luoyang.

Boat? No! They were all taken away by Li Langzi's people.

You can't say that, listen to how high Qi Jishan's business level is for many years immersed in 'lewdness' officialdom: yes, yes, here.

At the same time, a satin package was pushed in front of the righteous Niu Xiantong.

Niu Xiantong's face was expressionless, and he opened the package carelessly.

Hiss! Sure enough, it's here!

The objects in the package are not the same as the shape and size of the sea ship, but the Niu Xiantong has a unique point of view and the same value!

Qi Jishan's meeting gift was really rich, and he smashed Niu Xiantong so much that he couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest. In Niu Xiantong's eyes, the wrecked ship of the Japanese is not even worth the 50,000 yuan in the package.

Thanks to the Japanese Kou, the wealth they accumulated on Damiao Island 'fattened' the Liaodong escort fleet, and also pulled Qi Jishan to help.

"At that time, the wind was strong and the waves were strong, and the fire attack was carried out below, so there was no ...... in the sea."

The unspoken rule of officialdom that has remained unchanged through the ages: accept people's money and eliminate disasters for others. I saw Niu Xiantong's attitude make a 180-degree turn: "Well, it's not surprising that the sea 'waves' washed away all the wreckage, and there are a large number of war knives and clothes of the Japanese Kou to prove it." ”

It may be an exaggeration to have money to make ghosts grind, but money does make black white. The two sides quickly reached a consensus: Dengzhou Assassin Shi Qi Jishan had a flash of inspiration, Zhuge possessed the body, cleverly set a trap, and the Japanese invaders did not know how to take advantage of the 'tide', but they were attacked by fire, and the fire took advantage of the wind to burn a large number of ships, and the Japanese fell into the water, killing more than 3,000 people, and the wreckage of the ships was swept away by the 'tide'. It's that simple!

Money is king, what a master, they only use their mouths, and Qi Jishan smashes real money, of course he can't go against the God of Wealth. As for the rumors about Damiao Island, it was beyond his scope of duty, ignoring it and blocking it...... Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "War Owl in Tang" written by the wolf under the moon
