"Little... Small... The villain Ye Chun, originally a native of Sizhou on Huainan East Road, was nicknamed a 'clever boatwright' because he was good at shipbuilding, and he only hated to go to the Shandong border to make a living, and was robbed of money by some thieves who should be killed, and was exiled in Jeju and could not return to his hometown.

Later, I heard that Mizhou City Bosi was recruiting craftsmen who were good at shipbuilding, so he had to call for some food rights all the way to satisfy his hunger, and he suffered tens of millions of hardships before he arrived in this Banqiao Town, and he knew that Xiao Anguan was the steward under Lord Xiao. Lord Xiao is above, and Meng Kai raised and taught the villain to be able to live in peace, and he was so gracious, he could only bow his head and swear to repay him. ”

In the wine shop not far from the dock in Banqiao Town, the shipbuilder brought by Meng Kang said to Xiao Tang with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, although Xiao Tang had motioned for everyone to sit down, but the boatman called Ye Chun still only sat on the chair with half of his buttocks, and reported to Xiao Tang in a low voice. The appearance of obedience is like the idle and unenthusiastic Dousheng Xiaomin who can only look up to the dignitaries and nobles who worship when they see themselves.

But when Xiao Tang found out that Ye Chun said that he had been robbed of the capital to do business by the strongmen of the green forest, he gritted his teeth, and there was a fierce look in his lowered eyes, which was fleeting.

This Ye Chun is the one in the Water Margin who was robbed of money by the leader of Liangshan Bo and lived in Shandong, but because he is good at shipbuilding, after hearing that Gao Yu conquered Liangshan, he went to offer the pattern of the loach ship, and recommended himself to build a shipbuilding to assist Gao Yu in his crusade against Liangshan......

Xiao Tang secretly thought in his heart, this Ye Chun was robbed by the strongmen of the green forest because of his hard-earned money because he hated Liang Shanbo, he was just a law-abiding boatwright, and he had nothing to do with the rivers and lakes and green forests, so it was understandable that he hated Liang Shan. In addition, in order to have food and clothing, he is a professional and technical talent, and naturally he will not care about the reputation of the traitor, but according to the trajectory of the original book, Ye Qing still taught Li Yun, Tang Long, Du Xing and other Liangshan leaders to lead the army to kill, although his ability to make ships is very good, but he is just a fleeting little person in the Water Margin.

In the battle of Song and Jin quarrying, as an important combat ship, and the Mengchong ship and other warships equipped with thunderbolt guns to attack the Jin navy, it also made the fourth emperor of the Jin State, Hailing Wang Wanyan Liang defeated and was hanged by his subordinates due to the defeat of the war, and once again shattered the ambition of the Jin State to annex the entire territory of the Southern Song Dynasty.

From this point of view, the weaknesses and shortcomings of the loach ship and the car and ship built at the turn of the Song Dynasty are inconvenient to sail in shallow water, inconvenient to enter the sea, and may not be flexible in the river, and may have been innovated and improved by Ye Chun, a clever boatman, but Xiao Tang is very clear that the fatal soft point of this kind of warship is that it cannot prevent men such as Zhang Shun and Ruan Xiaoqi from diving underwater to dig through the bottom of the ship, at least there are still big problems in the sturdiness of the bottom of the ship......

If Ye Chun really has the ability, he can improve the shortcomings of most of the Song Dynasty's cars and boats that can only travel on inland rivers and lakes (of course, there is also the fatal shortcoming of the suspected thin bottom of the boat...... Xiao Tang thought to himself that a talent like Ye Chun would not be able to teach him to be used by Gao Yu's and other power traitors, although now this Ye Chun seems to be extremely hostile to the people in the green forest, but now he only thinks that he has a big backer, at least at present, it seems that Ye Chun is also willing to serve Xiao Tang conscientiously and conscientiously in the official face, and there will be no slack.

As for how Ye Chun, a shipbuilder, should get along, Xiao Tang also secretly thought in his heart: Since I don't plan to make it difficult for others, what I am doing in the green forest at the moment can only be hidden from him for the time being.

Compared with Ye Qing, who was not very assertive, the other man hired by Xiao An in the wine shop was reckless, but he saw that his Zitang broad face had copper bell strange eyes, the roots of the manudiment beard were upside down, and the eight-foot-long body was like a strange ape with an iron back and arms, and there were also spots of rust on the black flesh exposed under the half-open placket.

Here, Xiao Tang just said something to comfort Ye Chun, but the big man saw that Ye Chun was respectful in front of Xiao Tang, and he also thought of his cowardly appearance, so he opened his mouth and sneered: "But it's weird, Xiao Renxia is so good, but he didn't have three heads and six arms, look at your cowardice, don't be scared to pee your crotch!" ”

Ye Chun's eyes were stunned when he heard this, but he immediately lowered his head again, as if he didn't dare to argue with this reckless man. And the man sneered disdainfully, and then said to Xiao Tang with a grin: "My surname is Xu Mingwen, Zu Guan was originally born in Xiantao, Hubei, and later moved his family to the boundary of Jimo City, Laizhou, Laizhou, Jingdong Road. And because I have some strength in my arms, I am used to using a fifty-pound big knife, and I am lifted by a good man on the road, so I am called Xu Dadao!

It's just that the hook of selling smuggled salt is becoming more and more difficult to do, and Laizhou Jimo is close to the boundary of Banqiao Town, Mizhou, and the city is prosperous to attract merchants, and it is just right to teach me to find another livelihood. I rarely obey people when I walk in the rivers and lakes, but I have also heard of Hebei Hubaoyi for a long time, and the name of Xiao Tang in the famous mansion. Xiao Renxia is a big turban again, since I am willing to work hard, I expect that Ren Xia will never treat me badly! ”

Sure enough, as I expected, it was Xu Wenxu Dadao, the general of the Jin State Navy in this official history......

Xiao Tang secretly paid in his heart, and immediately recalled the record of Xu Wen in the official history: Xu Wen, the word Yanwu, a native of Xiantao, Hubei, migrated glue (also known as Pingdu, the ancient genus Jimo). When he was young, he sold salt as a business, traveled to and from several states along the sea, and was brave and brave, and his peers were afraid of it. Song Ji stole and recruited soldiers as the top ten generals in Banqiao, Mizhou. Brave and powerful, wielding a giant knife weighs fifty pounds, and is unstoppable, people call it "Xu Dadao......

Previously, when Xiao Tang talked about some anecdotes about the rivers and lakes with Sun Li, Zou Run, Zou Yuan and other local officials and brothers from the green forest strongman in Dengzhou, which is near the sea on Jingdong Road, he also heard from them that this Sun Wen had previously engaged in illegal salt business, mainly in the green forests of the coastal area of the Jiaodong Peninsula. Most of the people who dare to sell smuggled salt in this season are ruthless people who dare to put their heads on their belts and play with their lives, and this Xu Wen's reputation is enough to make his peers who sell smuggled salt afraid and jealous. Even the illegal salt trade can be regarded as one of the livelihoods of the green forest and grass to make a living, as long as it is not ruthless, Xiao Tang is not willing to kill those salt lords, but this Xu Wen unscrupulously talked about the forbidden things he had done before, and it seems that he is also a reckless person who does not take official law seriously.

It seems that in this season, nicknames such as the big knife are simple and easy to understand, and Xiao Tang has also seen Wen Da, Guan Sheng, and this Xu Wen, the three characters nicknamed the big knife. Later generations also said that Xu Wen was suspected to be the prototype of Wenda in the Water Margin, and the title of the big knife did affect Guan Sheng's nickname, but even if Guan Sheng and Wen Da were added together, the military exploits he made were not as good as Xu Wen's, but this Xu Dadao later simply rebelled against the court and went to serve the Jin State.

However, this Xu Wen was framed by others to surrender to the enemy, he had fought bravely and repeatedly been promoted, and after moving to Huaidong, western Zhejiang and other coastal areas after the naval army was controlled, he was hated by the generals in the army, according to the trajectory of official history, Li Cheng, who is still in the Daimyo Mansion as a soldier and horse supervisor, and Kong Yanzhou, who had already been killed by Xiao Tang when he was in Nanjing Province of Liao, and other Song generals defected to the puppet Qi regime supported by the Jin State, Xu Wen was also framed by people and said that he wanted to collaborate with the enemy and commit treason, and other colleagues went to attack and capture Xu Wen without asking for details, He must be framed as a traitor and traitor, but Xu Wen is not willing to be killed in order to show loyalty to the court, you frame Lao Tzu for rebellion, Lao Tzu will really rebel to show you, and he led dozens of warships to defect to the pseudo-Qi. Later, because of his military exploits, he successively served as the envoy of the sea and the sea of Mi Erzhou and the commander of the naval army, the chief of the sea channel, the commander of the soldiers and horses of the central capital, and the supervisor of the water supervision and construction of warships, and became one of the most important naval generals in the Jin State......

Therefore, although Xu Wen is also a fierce general who has left a name in the history of Jin, he is very different from Guo Yaoshi, Kong Yanzhou and other generals who are difficult to fill and sell the country for glory, and he was pushed to the enemy camp by Song Tingshengsheng. Xiao Tang thought of Xu Wen's life deeds in the official history, and said in his heart that he didn't value his reputation very much, and he didn't plan to die for the Zhao family's dynasty......

Compared with Ye Chun, Xiao Tang's attitude towards Xu Wen is just the opposite, and it is more extreme, and he said that this Xu Dadao is reckless, and although he does not reject the Green Forest Road, he really forces him to be anxious, and he doesn't care if he turns around and becomes an enemy of his homeland...... Such a character, after a period of observation, will either accept him into the gang in the future, or secretly get rid of him, no matter what choice he makes at that time, he can also eradicate a fierce general who may serve the Jin State.
