Chapter XXVII
Doctor Ouyang finally waited for his first casualty---- a man from the Ming Dynasty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info In this battle, there were no casualties among the crossing group, and about 60 people were killed on the opposite side, and the reason why it was about was because there were some bodies that really couldn't be put together, and under the fire of the 14.5 high plane, the whole person was torn apart.
The committee issued an order to treat those who are still alive. The work of checking the wounded was handed over to Li Shuang's men. Everyone who crossed the group, including Lin Zhaolong's marines, couldn't stand the thrill and searched for survivors among the stumps and severed arms, it was too bloody.
Li Shuang was puzzled by the committee's request conveyed by Xu Lang, in his opinion, even if these people survived, they would be crippled, and they would be of no use in the future, so it was better to give them a break.
"Brother Li, help. These people we use. Xu Lang said to Li Shuang with some embarrassment.
After receiving Jiang Beiming's order to stay inch, Xu Lang immediately understood Jiang Beiming's thoughts, because no one dared to guarantee whether the enemy attack had anything to do with Li Shuang, in that case, Xu Lang could not say anything, but could only faithfully carry out the order. Li Shuang was very dissatisfied with taking care of him and his subordinates, and Xu Lang had to explain that this was for their safety.
There are a total of 8 seriously injured people picked out of the pile of dead, and according to Dr. Ouyang's estimate, none of them will survive, because there is no anesthetic to perform the operation, and antibiotics cannot be used on these people. There were a total of 13 lightly wounded and uninjured prisoners, who were basically He Laoliu's subordinates, because pretending to be dead was their specialty.
After learning that the battle of the earthen wall had been won and the enemy had withdrawn, Jiang Beiming let out a long sigh, went into the newspaper room and picked up the radio to contact No. 777.
"Zeng Guangxian, how is the situation at sea now?"
"Everything is working fine, no suspicious targets have been found."
"Very good, I now order the No. 777 speedboat to rush to Yazhou at full speed and pick up Zhang Hai and them."
"No need." Zhang Guodong stepped into the newspaper room, "Zhang Hai is back, in the restaurant." ”
Seeing Jiang Beiming walking into the restaurant, Zhang Hai stood upright.
"How? Are you all safe? Jiang Beiming asked eagerly.
"People are fine." Zhang Hai said with a sad face, "But the boat and salt are all gone." ”
"That's good, that's good." After Jiang Beiming said this, he saw that the people around him were looking at him strangely, and hurriedly explained, "I mean that people are fine, and the boat and salt don't matter." ”
Because it was fully loaded, the three Damingfu ships walked very slowly, and yesterday they walked more than half of the distance in one day, and found a harbor to anchor at night. As a result, as soon as it was dawn this morning, before the anchor was lifted, it was blocked in the harbor by 7 or 8 ships. There was a fierce battle between the two sides, although Zhang Hai brought 2 rifles, and Li Shuang's men were also very brave, because they were protecting their own fine salt, but the other side had more than 200 people, all of whom were fierce pirates. Outnumbered, Zhang Hai finally had to give up 3 lucky boats, put down the rubber boats, and withdrew from the battle with the marines and more than 10 of Li Shuang's men.
The No. 777 speedboat carries a Type 118 military rubber boat, with a load of 1,000 kilograms and a capacity of 10 people. This time, almost 20 people were squeezed in at once, but fortunately, there was an external power unit, and in the screams of a group of pirates, Zhang Hai and others returned to Yulin Bay.
All the traversers are now safely in Yulin Bay, what to do next. The nine members and the heads of each group gathered together for an extraordinary meeting.
Jiang Beiming was the first to speak: "Since He Lao Liu has already made a move, then we can't sit still, I advocate taking the initiative to attack and defeat him." ”
"I agree, we must resolutely defeat it." Sun Tianhao immediately expressed his support.
"Knock it out? How to fight? Shi Xianyang shook a notebook in his hand, "The statistics are out, although our battle is good, but the consumption is huge, the rifle bullets consumed 520 rounds, and the 2 machine guns fired almost 1,000 rounds, I don't know who threw a grenade." We are still in a defensive war, and if we want to attack Yazhou, I'm afraid we don't have that ability yet. ”
"There is no need to attack Yazhou." Xu Lang said, "I think we should have another way. ”
"What's the solution, tell me." Everyone was very interested in Xu Lang's words.
"Zhu Chao is wrong, Qingjun's side."
"What is wrong, Qingjun's side, what do you mean?" Lin Zhaolong asked confusedly.
"This method is not bad, but how to implement it." Lu Tianxiang said, "Let me explain it to you. Chao Cuo was a minister of the Han Dynasty, he advised Emperor Jing of Han to eliminate the power of local princes and strengthen the centralization of power, which led to the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms headed by Liu Bi, the king of Wu. Xiao Xu means that we are here to be Liu Wei and treat He Lao Liu as a mistake. ”
"Lu Lao, do you mean that we will turn against the Ming Dynasty now?" Zhang Guodong asked, "Isn't it a little early?" ”
"No, we don't need to turn the other cheek." Xu Lang continued, "I mean we can go to Yazhou and have an armed march. ”
"Parade? Still armed, how to march? Han Wantao didn't understand what Xu Lang meant.
"Let's not interject yet, let Xu Lang finish." Lu Tianxiang said to Xu Lang, "Xiao Xu, tell me your thoughts carefully." ”
"Okay." Xu Lang said, "What are we, we are the overseas remnants of the Great Song Dynasty, our hearts are to China, our hearts are to the Ming Dynasty, we have traveled thousands of miles from overseas to Daming, just to be stable overnight, be honest, abide by the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and do some small business." But now, the brothers of the He family rely on the power in their hands to oppress and strangle us, not only cutting off our way of life, but also killing innocent people of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, we are going to petition the Yazhou Zhizhou to severely punish the He brothers and correct the law. Of course, we can't take the lead in this and have a ready-made person. ”
"You said Li Shuang?" Sun Tianhao asked.
"Clever." Xu Lang glanced at Sun Tianhao with satisfaction, "Li Shuang lost 80,000 catties of salt at once this time, he may have gone crazy now, I estimate that he has the heart to kill He Laoliu." Moreover, we can also promise him some benefits, which I don't think he can refuse. ”
"What's the benefit?" The crowd asked.
"That's what I thought." Xu Lang said, "Since we want to beat the He family brothers this time, we will kill them at once, and we must not drag mud and water." Therefore, Yazhou must be forced to withdraw He Laosan's inspection, so the vacated inspection can be allowed to Li Shuang, which is a great benefit for him, he will definitely not refuse, and if it is like that, for Yulin Bay, the refined salt business will be much smoother in the future, and there are people on it. ”
"But they didn't kill anyone this time, they were all their people who died, we have no evidence, it's not easy to say that he killed the people of Daming." Shi Xianyang suddenly showed his characteristics as a lawyer.
"You're stupid." Sun Tianhao hurriedly said, "There are so many corpses, they are all broken, just pick out a few, isn't it evidence?" ”
"You used to be a teacher, it's dark, but I like it." Jiang Beiming smiled at Xu Lang and said, "But what if Yazhou doesn't agree to remove He Laosan, after all, the He family is also deeply rooted here." ”
"If you don't agree, you will call him until he agrees." Xu Lang replied, "I suggest that the waterways go hand in hand. No. 777 and the Pearl were all dispatched to take out all the people in Yulin Bay, including the Ming Dynasty people, and carry weapons, it is time to show our strength, and don't forget that any negotiations are backed by strength. I don't believe that Yazhou City can hold off 37mm guns. ”
After a simple discussion, the participants basically agreed to Xu Lang's suggestion, this time there was such a battle in a daze, everyone's heart was very aggrieved, and they didn't give the He brothers a little color to see, they really thought that the tiger was not powerful, and it was regarded as a sick cat.
"There's one more thing we have to do." Xu Lang finally said.
"You said it, I know." Jiang Beiming smiled.
All the traversers gathered in the Pearl dining room again. Jiang Beiming walked to the front of the stage and solemnly saluted all the traversers and the committee standing in front:
"I, Jiang Beiming. I was entrusted by the Crossing Assembly to assume the position of Interim Supreme Commander in this battle, and now that the battle is over, I automatically resign from the position of Supreme Commander and return power to the Crossing Congress. ”
Lu Tianxiang returned a not-so-standard military salute: "On behalf of the Crossing Conference, I will take back the power granted to you." On behalf of all the members of Yulin Bay and myself, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you for your talent, bravery and responsibility in this battle, and you are the pride of all of us. ”
For the first time, there was a uniform applause in the restaurant, and it lasted for a long time.
In the evening, Xu Lang, Sun Tianhao, Zhang Guodong and Li Shuang sat in a wooden house discussing their next move.
Li Shuang almost didn't go crazy during the day, all the 80,000 catties of refined salt were gone, and he also lost 7 or 8 of his subordinates, but this time he lost a lot. Especially knowing that the initiators of this time are the He family brothers, Li Shuang brandished a big knife and cut down 2 small trees in a row, and Luan Xu was on the side: "Cut more, dissipate the gas, eliminate the gas." ”
Xu Lang told Li Shuang all about the committee's plan, and said that the loss of refined salt this time was all borne by Yulin Bay.
Li Shuang was so moved that he was about to cry, and hugged his fist at Xu Lang: "Brother Xu, don't thank you for your kindness." ”
"Brother Li doesn't have to be polite, the following matters still need Brother Li's full help." Xu Lang responded, "I just don't know how Brother Li can get the position of inspector." ”
According to Lu Tianxiang, in addition to the imperial examination, there was also a method of donation for the recruitment of officials in the Ming Dynasty, and good people could donate false titles, canons, prisoners, and alternate official vacancies by accepting official titles, that is, spending money to buy officials. But this inspection is an official, not an official, that is, from the grade of the ninth grade, so Xu Lang still didn't know if this inspection position could be donated.
"This Brother Xu doesn't have to worry, the inspection is not my Ming official, no need to donate, as long as the relationship can be opened, the official can be directly appointed."
"That's good, that's good." Xu Lang responded.
"Li Gongzi." Zhang Guodong said, "This time, we are going to bring the local people in Yulin Bay with us, but these people are still quite hesitant, and we have to ask Li Gongzi to persuade them more." ”
"Rest assured." Li Shuang patted his chest and said, "Wrap it on Li." ”
