Chapter 7 [Hibernation Mountain]

Now, Zhao Lie has a military factory or gun-making base, a few companions, a few sailors, a small passenger ship and a dilapidated fishing boat.

Relying on these to call out hundreds of thousands of troops is still not enough, but it is still not a problem to resist the enemy to save his life or sail away. And before that, he needs a little time to get his "tactical group" to form a combat force. Firearms are certainly easier to master than any ancient weapon, but at least there must be time for training, and I hope the Yuan army can still give him this time.

This night, everyone took turns to keep vigil, after all, they killed a Shiyuan soldier and seized a boatload of supplies, and no one knew if there would be another wave of plague gods.

Zhao Lie didn't sleep all night, with a shotgun by his side, a black star revolver on his waist, and hundreds of bullets of three models.

Fortunately, there was nothing to do all night, no danger.

"Everyone came over and got together to discuss something." Early in the morning, while having breakfast, Zhao Lie held a "class meeting". Now Zhao Lie, he should not let himself be the squad leader, "Xiaoyi, is there any place on this island where people can hide things?" ”

Ding Xiaoqi had seen the batch of arms with Zhao Lie, and when he heard it, he knew what Zhao Hunt was referring to, so he shook his head without thinking: "No." There are only a few holes, and it's okay to squeeze two or three people, but you can't squeeze more. ”

Whether it is a firearm or a machine, it can't get rainy. The climate at sea is changeable, one will be clear, the other will be stormy, it is common, Zhao Liede will move the base to a safe place as soon as possible before the next rainstorm. In the same way, people are the same.

Zhao Lie frowned: "Think about it, are there any eligible islands nearby?" ”

Ding Xiaoqi and his sister glanced at each other, thought hard for a while, and the sister and brother shook their heads at the same time: "There are many small islands nearby, but they are not suitable, it is better to have our island, otherwise grandpa and uncle will not choose this place to rest." ”

This is also true. Zhao Lie touched his chin and thought about it, he knew that there was a small island to the east - Hong Kong Island, of course, it was not called this name at this time. Do you want to go? Do you want to become the first owner of Hong Kong?

The younger sister suddenly said, "Otherwise, let's go to Chuanzhou." ”

Zhao Lie asked: "Where is Chuanzhou?" ”

The girl pointed to the west: "Over there, I heard Jiang Abel say that there are two big islands there, and they are called Chuanzhou." ”

Zhao Lie was moved when he heard this, but he heard Ma Nanchun say: "I know a good place, don't say that the Tibetans hide things, even if they hide an army, and there are many architectural remains." The most important thing is that the Yuan Tartars will not be searched. ”

Zhao Lie heard Ma Nanchun talk about the back, so he almost said that he could move in with his bag, but he didn't say the location, so he couldn't help but interrupt: "Brother Ma, don't sell Guanzi, hurry up, what's the place?" ”

Ma Nanchun quieted down, looked directly at Zhao Lie, and this time only said nine simple words: "It depends on whether Brother Zhao dares to go." ”

Zhao Lie was stunned for a moment, and realized: "What you said is ......"

Ma Nanchun pointed at Nan and said word by word: "Ao, mountain." ”

……

On 11 February, five days after the end of the Battle of Kushan, a small fishing boat appeared near Kushan. After going around the mountain, he found no abnormality, and then headed north. About an hour later, the small fishing boat went and returned, followed by a passenger boat not far behind. The green tiger flag is hoisted high on the passenger ship, which is the symbol of the sea ship of the Fan family army of the two Zhejiang. In the Battle of Yishan, the fleet of the Yuan army had many ships of the Fan family, and they contributed a lot in the battle to destroy the Song Dynasty, so it is not surprising that they appeared here.

Guided by small fishing boats, the passenger boat sailed into a narrow reef bay southwest of the mountain.

"Here it is." A person jumped out of the small fishing boat, it was Ding Xiaoyi.

Zhao Lie, Ma Nanchun, Shi Yang and others appeared on the passenger ship board one after another.

Zhao Hunting looked around, but saw the two mountains of the mountain and the soup bottle and the sea, shaped like a portal, the magnificent South China Sea, entering the lake (Yinzhou Lake), the waves crashing on the shore, the mountain was like a pillar, not only praised: "It is really a place of beauty." ”

Ma Nanchun nodded, shook his head again, and sighed: "It's a pity that it was burned." ”

The mountain is the last dynasty of the Song Dynasty, and a large number of buildings such as the imperial palace, military camp, granary, and armor warehouse were originally built on the mountain. However, on the eve of the decisive battle, Zhang Shijie, who was determined to break the cauldron, ordered all of them to be burned.

Of course, it was burned, and it was indeed burned into a white ground, but there were more or less a small number of fish that slipped through the net. And some of the barracks are stone houses, and the furnishings in the houses have been burned down, but the stone houses have been preserved. To the southwest of the hill there is a rocky bay that is not easy to find, where boats can be docked and a narrow path in the cave can be followed into the back mountain. From there, it is not known to outsiders.

Zhao Lie left Shi Yang to guard the ships and prisoners, and the rest of the people went up the mountain along the cave. I went all the way to investigate, and I was very satisfied. Although the mountain is not big, the terrain is steep, the terrain is quite dangerous, and the top of the mountain is relatively gentle, which is conducive to large-scale construction, and it is not without reason that the line of dynasty was built here. Because more than 100,000 Song people lived in the past, a large number of basic facilities remained, such as wells, stone steps, smooth foundations, stone roads, drainage ditches, etc., which could not be burned. And with these basic facilities, it is easier to rebuild.

Zhao Lie didn't think about rebuilding this meeting, there were only more than ten people left and right, and they took a temporary rest, so they were regarded as a base of action, picking up the bastards casually, and leaving after the work, there was no need to bother with it.

Most of the sailors and miscellaneous servants were requisitioned fishermen, and they were almost fifth-class people in the Yuan army camp, and their lives were miserable. Zhao Lie originally planned to keep it for his own use, but under questioning, almost no one wanted to stay. There is no other reason, many of the fishermen have relatives and friends who have been pledged in the Yuan army camp, and no matter how difficult life is, it is still a family reunion. If you leave halfway, not to mention how the Tartars will treat their families, even if you can't pass the level!

"I know you can't let go of your family, but this may be your only chance, a chance to regain your life, do you really want to give up?" Zhao Lie is very short of manpower now, and he really needs to replenish, but what worries him even more is the fate of these people. There is obviously a chance to jump out of the fire pit, but for various reasons I have to give up, which is embarrassing.

There was silence below, and the sailors and handymen looked at each other, but after all, no one spoke.

Zhao Lie shook his head and was about to turn around, when suddenly a hoarse and hesitant voice came: "I, I'm like this, or not?" ”

Zhao Lie paused, followed the sound, and saw a face. It was a very ordinary face, the kind that he couldn't find in the pile, but a long scar from his forehead to his left cheek ruined the normality and made him unusually hideous. In fact, this person has obvious whipping scars on his face, neck, arms and other exposed parts, but the scars on his face are too dazzling, and the other scars seem insignificant. But that's not the most horrifying, the real shock is that his left eyelid and eyeball are rotten, and he was obviously blinded by the whip.

Can a blind man ask for it?

Shi Yang and Ding Xiaoqi both looked disgusted. Both girls shook their heads secretly with pity in their eyes. Ma Nanchun stood in front of the boat with his hands in his hands, swept lightly and didn't look at it again.

Zhao Lie high-fived with a fist: "Okay, it's coming!" ”

Yes! Everyone was shocked.

Ma Nanchun frowned, and Shi Yang was dumbfounded: "This, this can also be wanted?" ”

Zhao Lie didn't answer, only asked the slim-eyed man: "What's it called?" Gui Geng? ”

"My name is Wang Ping'an, what is expensive, expensive?"

"Just ask how old you are."

"I'm thirty-seven. By the way......" Wang Ping'an hesitated for a moment and asked in a rough voice, "Do you want to do it, can you make the kind of iron cylinder that can breathe fire last night?" ”

Old, slim-eyed, thin, such a person, no one wants to be a man in the army, and he still wants to shoot?

Ma Nanchun didn't say anything about his identity, Shi Yang didn't have so many worries, and almost jumped to scold, but was stopped by Zhao Lie, and then faced Wang Ping'an, with a smile on his face: "Of course you can." Keep one eye open and one eye closed, just aim. That's you. ”

Zhao Hunt mobilized for the first time and only recruited a half-crippled fisherman, whether this move was right or wrong, no one knows, except for God...... For the rest of the fishermen who did not want to join, Zhao Lie promised to let them leave after the event.

The Battle of the Mountains was a purely naval battle, and there was no war on the top of the Mountain, so there was no visible damage except for the traces of burning. After the war, the Yuan army only searched, and in the face of a blank field, it was impossible to destroy it to vent its anger.

Zhao Lie found a row of stone houses that had not been burned down and arranged for everyone to live, although it was empty, fortunately, it could shelter from the wind and rain. Under one of the stone houses, a basement was found, quite spacious, with stone slabs on the floor, traces of burnt hay, and the walls were plastered with lime and dry.

According to Ma Nanchun, this is a spare granary built by the Song army's own battalions.

Zhao Lie looked around and was very satisfied: "Very good, it's being used." But we don't use it to store food, but guns, ammunition and machinery. ”

Having solved the problem of living, the next thing is to eat. More than a dozen people consumed a lot of food, but fortunately, in addition to sending six heads and a group of sailors, there was also a boatload of supplies, all of which were loot salvaged from the sea, and there was no lack of food.

Ma Nanchun has counted that there are about ten stones of grain and rice on the boat, that is, more than 1,000 catties, plus fishing and shrimp supplements, it is no problem to support it for a month. He will rush back to Xiangshan as soon as possible and bring grain rice and Zhuang Yong, so he should have no worries.

Regarding the alliance with the Ma brothers, Zhao Lie was entangled in his heart. The problem is not with the Ma brothers, but with himself.

Ten days ago, he Zhao Lie was just a young policeman who had just graduated from the police academy. The largest battle he has ever commanded in his life is a hostage rescue simulation battle in the police academy as a team leader (a team of five). And now, he actually wants to lead a group of people to challenge a huge state apparatus...... Go crazy!

Zhao Lie's current plan is very clear: to form a tactical group, organize training, familiarize them with the use of various thermal weapons, and initially form combat effectiveness. The short-term goal is to snipe a hundred Tartar households named Bagen, not only to avenge the Ding family siblings, but also to do their part for the respectable and innocent old man. The long-term goal is to find a suitable ship and set sail - yes, Zhao Lie will not be arrogant to think that with just one blood and a few black guns, he can confront a huge empire.

He has only and can only make this choice.

To search for Bagen, Zhao Lie must cooperate with Ma Nanchun and wait for him to get reliable information before formulating a plan of action, otherwise the world is so big, where can he find this person? Touching the barracks? I'm afraid I'll not die fast enough. And if he wants to go to sea, he also needs Ma Nanchun to provide large ships and sailors, at least to provide information on where to get these things. With only two dilapidated boats, drifting across the ocean, that is not called adventure, that is called death.

Whether it is a short-term goal or a long-term goal, he needs to cooperate with Xiangshan Ma's "shallow".

It is not far from Xiangshan (now Zhongshan, Guangdong), and if the voyage is smooth, it will only be a day and a half, but it will not be possible to have a letter for a while to inquire about the news of the Yuan army. Zhao Lie planned to use this time to polish his tactical team.

Team members: Zhao Lie, Ding family sisters and brothers, Shi Yang, Wang Ping'an, and Ma Nanchun, a total of six people.

This is the "Six Sons of Hunters", who will become famous all over the world in the future.

Ma Nanchun originally planned to rush back to Xiangshan immediately, but as soon as he heard that he was going to train firearms, he immediately stopped leaving, and gave a reason that people couldn't refuse: "The more Nanchun understands the operation and sharpness of this strange weapon, the more he can convince his brother, and we will have a greater grasp of the alliance." ”

Zhao Lie understood the meaning of Ma Nanchun's words, after all, people pay for and pay for food, and he only has weapons on his side, which is considered a technical entry, and if he doesn't convince the other party, how can he hand over the people and horses to you to command?

Ma Nanchun was simple, and Zhao Lie was not ambiguous, grabbed a copy of the 38 revolver and threw it at Ma Nanchun: "This gun is yours, from tomorrow, let's train together." ”
