Chapter 25: Defending Yulin Bay (I)
Three days later, the three ships desperately loaded nearly 80,000 catties of salt and set sail for Yazhou, which was seriously overloaded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Li Shuang divided half of the people and went back with the boat to ransom Ding Laosan, and stayed in Yulin Bay. Xu Lang and Sun Tianhao still have a lot of follow-up things to discuss with him. Although Yulin Bay and Yazhou are only 100 miles away, and the three boats are walking along the coastline, even if it is slow, 2 days is enough time. However, in order to ensure safety, the committee still sent four marines, led by Zhang Hai, to escort them on board, equipped with two 03 rifles and a rubber boat. The committee secretly issued an order to Zhang Hai that in case of emergency, the boat and salt could be left unwanted, and the Ming Dynasty people could ignore it, and the four traversers must come back safely.
Xu Lang accompanied Li Shuang in Yulin Bay for a day, and the changes in Yulin Bay surprised Li Shuang a little, not to mention the increase in houses and populations, he actually saw a brick and wood structure house being built. Wu Chengzong's first batch of bricks was fired, and the effect was not bad, and the quality of the bricks burned by Di Chong was greatly improved. In a corner of Yulin Bay, an agricultural area has been opened up, all kinds of vegetables and fruits are emerging from the soil, and chickens and ducks are running around all over the ground, and the smell is a little pungent. Next to the agricultural area is a fenced open field, in which several wooden houses and straw huts have been erected, and the sound of clanging is heard. At the entrance to the fence hangs a wooden plaque with a large red circle drawn on it, and a white bar inside the circle. Li Shuang couldn't figure out what this meant, but he understood the words on the sign, which said that it was forbidden to enter.
Xu Lang accompanied Li Shuang for a day, participated in Han Wantao's military training for more than 1 hour, returned to the Pearl, didn't even eat dinner, and rushed to the bed to dream of Zhou Gong.
Two crisp gunshots woke Xu Lang from his dream, and then, the incessant sound of bells came from the earthen wall on the shore.
"Who, bother, don't knock." Sun Tianhao, who was on the other side, turned over and muttered in his mouth.
Xu Lang was completely sleepy, got up with a bone, and pulled Sun Tianhao up, "Get up, get up, something is wrong." ”
Sun Tianhao opened his confused eyes: "What, what's wrong?" ”
Xu Lang didn't bother to answer him, but turned his head to look at the shore from the swing window, and an orange smoke rose from the earthen wall.
"Enemy attack, hurry to the restaurant." Xu Lang dropped a sentence, put on his pants and ran to the restaurant.
Dozens of people have gathered in the restaurant. Jiang Beiming stood in the crowd brandishing a May Fourth pistol and shouted: "Red alert, red alert, enemy attack, everyone obeys my orders, this is not a drill!" "Three short and one long bells plus an orange smoke, which, according to the pre-regulations, indicates the most urgent situation, and the enemy is more than a hundred people. And the peculiar tearing sound of the 58 high-altitude aircraft in the distance indicates a signal: "This is not a drill. "Because of the previous drills, the gun was not fired.
"Zeng Guangxian!" Jiang Beiming shouted hoarsely. According to the resolution of all the members of the crossing congress, in the event of an enemy attack, the supreme command will automatically transfer to Jiang Beiming alone, and there is no need to vote again.
"Here!"
"Return to No. 777 immediately, first-class combat readiness, never leave the ship for a moment, destroy the enemy at sea at any time, can take the initiative to hit any suspicious target, and keep the radio unblocked."
"Yes!"
"Lin Zhaolong!"
"Here!"
"Lead the Marines to reinforce the 101,102 heights, hold the heights at any cost, and annihilate the enemy outside the earthen walls."
"Yes!"
"Han Wantao!"
"Here!"
"Lead your crew, carry all your weapons, reinforce the earthen wall, and keep the enemy out of the earthen wall no matter what!"
"Yes!"
"Liu Guannan!"
"Here!"
"Take your security team, bring 30 more people, gather all the Ming Dynasty people, you must watch them, you can't let them mess up!"
"Yes!"
"Zhang Guodong!"
"Here!" Zhang Guodong subconsciously "horned" and stood upright.
"Take your crew and start the Pearl immediately, ready to evacuate at any time." After Jiang Beiming finished speaking, he gave a military salute to Zhang Guodong.
"Yes!" Zhang Guodong returned a military salute.
"Wang Hua!"
"Here!"
"You take 20 people to stay on the Pearl, protect the elderly, women and children, and prepare for the evacuation from the shore."
"Yes!"
"Doctor Ouyang!"
"Here!"
"Take your medical team with you and get ready to rescue the wounded!"
"Yes!"
Looking at the groups of people leaving, Jiang Beiming breathed a sigh of relief, "Xu Lang." ”
"Here!"
"You go and contact Li Shuang and ask him to bring his people to help Liu Guannan."
"Yes!" Xu Lang turned around to leave.
"Wait." Jiang Beiming stopped Xu Lang again, thought for a while and said, "Forget it, you go to Li Shuang, remember, bring a pistol and never leave." You know what I mean? ”
"Understood, not an inch." Xu Lang turned to leave.
"The rest of the people, according to the distribution during the exercise, formed a reserve team and were on standby at any time."
"Yes!" The rest of the people in the cafeteria replied en masse.
"Ladies and gentlemen." Jiang Beiming said, "Don't be so nervous, we have practiced many times, and besides, our machine guns are not burning sticks." ”
He Lao Liu was standing on a high ground outside Yulin Bay, nodding and saying something to a person dressed as a Ming military general next to him: "Lord Qianhu, this time there is your old man sitting in the formation, and you will definitely wipe out those thieves, not to mention the benefits, just this level, your lord, you must be promoted this time." ”
The Ming military general said a few times: "Sixth, that is, your brother, if someone else's words, Lao Tzu is too lazy to do this, you two brothers should not forget the benefits of the old brother when the time comes." ”
"That's, that's. No matter what, I can't forget the Lord of Chino. ”
Since He Lao Liu was suppressed by the Huang shopkeeper last time, the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't swallow this breath, and he went home to complain to He Lao San. He Laosan was calm, and thought carefully for a long time, what was the origin of these people who were mixed with Li Shuang, and even the shopkeeper Huang helped them. He Laosan suppressed his younger brother's anger, called his confidant He Biao, and told He Biao not to be afraid of spending money, no matter what method he used, he also had to inquire about the details of these people in Yulin Bay. He Biao is not very old, but there are many ghosts and thieves, he took the assignment of his master, tried his best to buy off a Li Shuang's subordinates, and finally knew that these people from Yulin Bay were the remnants of the Great Song Dynasty from overseas, and Li Shuang's salt came from these people. I don't know what method they used, but it is said that they produce more than one million catties of refined salt a year.
The brothers of the He family were also shocked when they heard the news, not because they were shocked by the origin of these people, but because of the millions of catties of refined salt, it was worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. The brothers thought that if they snatched Yulin Bay, not only would they get rid of this rival, but they would also be able to get all the salt. It's just that there are more than 300 so-called remnants of the Great Song Dynasty in this Yulin Bay, not to mention that they also have a fire system, which He Lao Liu has taught, and the two brothers' subordinates alone can't take Yulin Bay. Something else has to be done.
The military forces in Yazhou are very mixed. The Ming Dynasty established that the world was a key place, and it was set up by a county, and a county was guarded. The rate of 5,600 people is guarded, 1,120 people are 1,000 households, and 2 out of 100 households are 100 households. The total flag is set up two, the small flag is ten, and the large and small joint ratio is to form an army, which is the guard system of the Ming Dynasty. In the fifth year of Zhu Yuanzhang's Hongwu reign (1372), he placed Hainan Wei in Qiongzhou Mansion and had jurisdiction over 11 institutes. In the seventeenth year of Hongwu (1384), Yazhou guarded thousands of households in Yazhou. 1,100 households, 1,120 full pawns. 11 stations are equipped with 15,927 rated flag soldiers. The flag soldiers, that is, the main soldiers, are divided into tuntian and cao army, and the cao army is the combat unit. There are 277 soldiers in the Yazhou Imperial Palace. In the second year of Wanli, Yang Wei, the capital of Baqiong Prefecture, took the right battalion of the general one, Zhazhou, and defended the sea. To 45 years, set up a member of the former division of the water village to guard Sanya Port. In addition, there are township soldiers, and the township soldiers and the people can be divided into patrol archers, civil strong machine soldiers, Tusheli soldiers, and Baojia township soldiers. The largest number of them were the Tusheli soldiers, the so-called Tusheli soldiers, which were local ethnic armed organizations established under the military system of the guard post in Hainan in the Ming Dynasty. The Li soldiers of the Ming Dynasty mainly came from the government-controlled Shu Li, "in case of transfer, they marched with the army, specially for the forward; If there is nothing to do, they will be assigned to each battalion and listen to the dispatch of the battalion officer. "Whenever there is a flag soldier movement, the Li soldiers are recruited as an auxiliary army, and because they are familiar with the local geography and people's conditions, they are often used as the vanguard. Although it was dissolved during the Wanli period, it was restored to a certain extent under the advice of some officials during the Chongzhen period. There are more than 400 Li soldiers in Yazhou, but the Li soldiers in Yazhou are not transferred.
He Laosan began to get busy. Thousands of households, water villages, Li villages, he ran all over. At present, what can be used in Yazhou City is the 1,000 people under Zhou Chongde, who guards thousands of households in Yazhou. It is said that there are 1,000 people, but in fact less than half, and there are only about 100 people who really have some combat effectiveness. He Laosan greatly exaggerated the output of refined salt in Yulin Bay, greatly reduced the combat effectiveness of Yulin Bay, and greatly praised Zhou Chongde, praising Zhou Chongde in the clouds, thinking that Lao Tzu was the first in the world. He Laosan himself is the Yazhou Inspection Department Inspector, and it is also the duty to check and prohibit illicit salt, and it is of great benefit that this week Chongde patted his chest and agreed to He Laosan's request. Because Li Zhai also had the benefits promised by He Laosan, more than 100 people were allocated to assist He Laosan. It's just that Mr. Zhao Qian of Shuizhai got the benefits of Li Shuang, so Mr. Zhao Qian thought twice and decided to stand by this time, because whether it is He Laosan or Li Shuang, as long as he takes the waterway, the benefits of his Lao Zhao are indispensable, in this case, why should he intervene. He Lao Liu also recruited more than 100 people under his command during this period, and five or six hundred people from several places together slaughtered towards Yulin Bay. This He Laosan has been inspecting for a long time, and he knows the mystery of officialdom, so he went to inform Wang Kezong, the governor of Yazhou, before leaving.
