Wang Lun also had a big heart, and said to Yang Lin: "Brother, let's talk about the details slowly." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Zhu was also very concerned about this, and asked, "How many grain ships are there?"

Yang Lin replied: "Fifty large boats are loaded with grain, and each boat guards twenty people, and there are more than twenty small boats as a guard. “

Li Zhu asked here: "How many generals are there in charge of grain?" How many soldiers? “

"There are three grain generals, six generals, about 1,200 soldiers, and about 5 or 600 boatmen from the Qinghong Gang."

Li Zhu then asked, "How much grain?"

Yang Lin replied again: "Three hundred quintals per boat." “

"Good!" Wang Lun looked at the leaders of the family, and then glanced at Li Zhu, who nodded. Wang Lun looked around at everyone again and said, "Now that the cottage soldiers have more food and less food, it is time to do this business!" Quickly pass my order, the left and right villages, the front and back water villages, those who have not arrived in the Juyi Hall, come to the meeting quickly! “

The order was like a mountain, and after a while, everyone who did not come to the Juyi Hall rushed to Dazhai. Zhu Wu also no longer accompanied Wang Jin to train the soldiers, and was the first to go to the Juyi Hall. The three heroes of the Ruan family are the main force of the navy, and none of them have arrived.

Wang Lun saw that all the brothers had arrived, looked at everyone and said, "Please give an order from Li Zhujunshi, all the brothers must do their best, and there must be no mistakes!"

Li Zhu immediately told everyone about the plan he had discussed with Wang Lun, and the generals took the order and left.

Everyone has a task, but Li Kui doesn't. Staying in the mountains was boring, and Li Kui was about to go down the mountain to play. You said that Li Kui was so angry, seeing that everyone was dispersed, he couldn't hold back anymore, and jumped up and shouted: "I also want to cut off the emperor's bird food, the iron ox's plate axe has long wanted to make a fortune in the city, why don't you send me the iron ox?"

When Wang Lun saw Li Kui's mistake, he glared at him and said angrily: "Those who do not obey the order will be killed!"

Li Zhu thought of Li Kui's benefits, signaled Wang Lun not to be angry, and then said to Li Kui: "If you want to ask for orders, you must follow my three things." “

As soon as he saw that he had a chance, Li Kui was overjoyed and shouted: "Brother, say it, Tie Niu is all right!"

First, it is not allowed to drink, second, it is not allowed to kill or injure the people, and third, it is necessary to obey orders. Li Zhu said them one by one, Li Kui nodded in agreement, and happily took the order.

Fifty miles northwest of Caozhou, there is a temple on the west bank of the canal, which is called Riqingshen Temple. Every year on October 15th, there are five days of Qingshen Temple big temple fair, people in a radius of 100 miles also come here to catch up, known as "there is Guozhou in the north and the south of Qingshen" said, depicting the temple fair of the big.

On this day, there were many more people coming to the temple fair than in previous years. Those who have carts and burdens come to the temple fair to do business. There are those who are old and those who are young, and they are crowded and crowded to Qingshen Temple. Guanghui pretended to be Toutuo, Yang Lin pretended to be a Taoist priest, and with more than a dozen minions, they infiltrated the temple fair unknowingly.

The spring breeze swings the weeping willows, and the canal water ripples. At noon, a group of grain ships flying the red dragon flag slowly swam north. When they arrived at the boundary of this Qingshen Temple, the fleet also knew that this day was a big temple fair, and it was the most lively. Not to mention the officers and soldiers and civilian men under his hands, even the generals led by him also have the heart to go. The person who led the team calculated that it was still early before the date of delivery of food, so he led half of his men to the temple fair to play. Leave half of the men and horses to guard the docks, and wait for the afternoon to change them to the temple fair.

After half an hour, a group of ships flying the green dragon flag rushed south. The two fleets met near Seijinji Temple.

Most of the warships of the Song Dynasty were wooden sailing ships, which can be divided into two categories. The first type is mainly used in the waters north of the Yangtze River, flat-bottomed square-headed wooden sailboats, represented by sand boats; The first type is the pointed wooden sailing boats mainly used in the southern waters of Zhejiang and Fujian, represented by the Fu boat.

The sand boat is named after Chongming Island, which is characterized by a flat bottom, square head and square tail, and a wide and shallow hull. In the waters north of the Yangtze River, there is a lot of silt and shoals, and the sharp-bottomed ships with deep drafts are very easy to run aground and capsize, while the flat-bottomed boats can sail smoothly.

Various types of warships of the Song Dynasty were greatly developed in the war. Gao Xuan, a master of the capital, once built a giant combat vehicle ship, 20-30 zhang (about 60-90 meters) long, with 23-24 wheel oars. Among the more than a dozen types of vehicles and ships it makes, double-vehicle ships and four-vehicle ships are commonly used small and medium-sized combat vehicles and ships. The "Flying Tiger Battleship" made by Wang Yanhui is equipped with 4 wheels next to it, each wheel has 8 blades (blades), which is very light and agile, and is a typical example of commonly used vehicles and ships.

At this time, the warships equipped by the Song Dynasty naval army also included various types of warships such as loach (a warship that imitates the shape of a sea fish), double cars, ten boats, and anti-sand flat-bottomed ships, which were used for river and sea defense.

Most of the grain ships of the Red Flag Gang at the wharf are sand boats, and there are also two two-car ships and two four-car ships, and there is also a giant - the loach ship.

The loach boat, with 24 waterwheels on both sides, can accommodate hundreds of people in the boat, and each military has 12 people to tread; Externally covered with bamboo fences, which can avoid arrows; Crossbow towers are erected on the surface of the ship, which can be used to kill enemies from a distance.

This kind of warship was so powerful that if it wanted to advance, twenty-four waterwheels would have to tread it with all its might, and its ships would move like arrows, and the ships were so thick that no ship could beat them!

If you encounter an enemy fleet, you can also fire crossbows on the deck, which can be said to be able to fight in close combat and attack from a distance.

On the side of the Qing Gang fleet, there are more than 20 boats, but in addition to the sand boats, there are only two vehicles and ships, which are slightly shabby. However, there were fifteen men standing on each ship, and there was a man dressed as a military cao standing in the bow of the boat, carrying a short sword and a bow and arrow.

At the head of the fleet stood a big man, more than seven feet long, with tiger-eyed eyes and blazing eyes. Looking at the big loach boat in front of him, his eyes were red. Looking back at the sand boat behind him, thinking of the fishing boat sampan in Shuizhai, Dahan made up his mind to get this loach boat.

Who are you the leader of this Green Gang ship? It's none other than Nguyen Xiaoer, the head of the three heroes of the Nguyen family. In accordance with Wang Lun's order, they led the crowd in the north of Caozhou, disguised themselves as government personnel, and took advantage of the unpreparedness to rob more than a dozen sand boats in the canal. After that, under the leadership of Ruan Xiaoer, the Liangshan people changed into officer and soldier clothes and joined the Liangshan headquarters led by Ruan Xiaowu. Rushing all the way to the south, when they arrived at the Qingshen Temple, the two teams happened to meet.

The fleet of the Red Gang going north, leaning on the dock, was attracted by the Qingshen Temple, and it had long been a god. Inside the ship, shouting and shouting, guessing and drinking, arguing and quarrelling, there was no end to the ears.

There is a temple meeting of the green gods, and boats come and go frequently on the canal. There is also a red flag to help grain ships dock at the head of the horse, occupying most of the positions. At this time, the boats in the canal are crowded with boats, and the boats are close to the boats. Ruan Xiaoer's disguised green flag helped the fleet sail over, and the canal water was like a rising tide, and the waves were one after another, slapping towards the shore and the bow of the boat.

On the Qinggang boat, Ruan Xiaoer stood on the bow of the boat, remembering the first time the navy went down the mountain, and he was full of spirit. Singing: "The Qing River rolls down due east, and strong winds blow on both sides of the canal. Lao Tzu was born in the water country, fishing and shrimp for a living. Tokyo sent 10,000 fish, all of which could be lit with boiling oil. Illuminating the water for 800 miles, the fishermen are happy. ”

Ruan Xiaowu acted with his brother, stood at the end of the boat gang, and then sang: "Lao Tzu was born in the water pool, fishing and shrimp fast king; Hangzhou sent a group of soft-shelled turtles, washed and peeled the skin and put the pot down. ”
