Chapter 329: Accident Finally Meets the Tiger
Chapter 329: Accident Finally Meets the Tiger
"I thought about this area without paying the money, don't you know how powerful Grandpa is?"
Zhao Sanshui scolded and jumped from his boat, and now the two boats were already fixed with grappling hooks and ropes.
Jeju Island also received the agricultural official Wiscon and his party, and in the strategy of the Jiang Jiajun, Jeju Island in Yiju near Fujian and North Korea here is regarded as the last stronghold, and it must be managed well, so the top management of the Jiang Jiajun attaches great importance to this place.
Wisconsin, the agricultural officer, came to the island to check the soil quality and determine the climate, and came to the conclusion that it was not suitable for growing most of the crops, and there was too little land to cultivate, but there was a conclusion that Jiang Feng was very excited, that is, there was a place on Jeju Island where he could graze.
It is especially suitable for growing alfalfa, Jiang Feng did not expect that this island can be used as pasture, it is really a bit unbelievable, in the eastern part of Jeju Island there is a large grassland, even if you do not need to grow alfalfa and other plants, it is also suitable for grazing. In fact, in modern times, when Jiangfeng did not cross the country, there were more than 3,000 horses on Jeju Island in South Korea at that time, and it has always been known as the best pasture in Asia.
This is really a surprise for Jiang Feng, since there is such a good pasture, if you put those Mongolian horses with strong durability but poor load on them, it really doesn't make much sense.
But good horses go there to find, for Jiang Jiajun and these people, the horses they have seen since childhood are Mongolian horses, but Zhang Liang once heard people mention that there are good horses in Shaanxi and Gansu, but this suggestion was quickly rejected, if it is from the Western Regions to traffic horses, and then on the ship to transport over, it will take a lot of effort.
On the contrary, the current captain of the Shunfeng, the Portuguese Ajaya, mentioned that there were good horses in Arabia, and this suggestion was only a little better than buying horses from the Western Regions.
In desperation, he had to choose a high-quality Mongolian horse to be stocked on the pasture of Jeju Island, but in this way, the matter on Jeju Island was not only Zhao Sanshui's fleet, but also sent a farmer, more than 100 households with grazing experience, and 300 soldiers.
At present, there is a relatively fast and convenient sea and land transportation between Minwei and Jeju Island in southern Korea, and Zhao Sanshui is now in charge of nearly 1,000 people, as well as hundreds of horses, and six or seven ships, which can be said to have caught up with the number of garrisons of some battalions in those years.
Although it is the expansion of authority and scope, Jiang Feng has no intention of exchanging a senior military attache here, Zhao Sanshui looks like he has a promising future, but Zhao Sanshui is a person who can't be idle, and arranging civil administration on the island is really a headache for him.
He is outside anyway, is there anyone in charge of him, Zhao Sanshui directly led the fleet to collect money and plunder at sea, and he was even more happy.
But the two ships he chased today seemed to be ignorant of the rules, even if the tiger flag on Jeju Island was raised, it still sailed quickly towards the south, because Zhao Sanshui was there watching the two merchant ships raise their sails in front of him.
Zhao Sanshui was immediately furious, now they are not easy to sink the ship, because collecting money and collecting talents is a serious matter, and now the more than 1,000 people on Jeju Island are considered quite good treatment in the entire Jiang family army, you must know that this is not compared with the army of the Ming Dynasty and the guard.
But compared with Jiang Jiajun himself, the three ships that Zhao Sanshui brought out to sea were much faster than this kind of old-style ships in terms of speed, and it didn't take too much time to catch up, Zhao Sanshui's anger was already up, and he was already ready to go up and beat those crew members and sailors who didn't have long eyes.
After his order, his soldiers were also familiar with these things, and threw them on the side of the other party's ship with a flying catch, and several sailors standing on the ship were now kneeling on the boat desperately begging for mercy, but the two ships were still leaning together without any suspense, and the other ship looked similar.
Zhao Sanshui scolded angrily, and walked over with a waist knife in his hand.
The soldiers on the warship of the Jiang family army followed three or four people, and the rest were all smiling and watching the excitement there, Zhao Sanshui kicked over a sailor kneeling on the deck, and shouted loudly:
"Blind, it's too late for you to cry when Lao Tzu fires the cannon!"
Just about to say something more, suddenly there was a scream from another boat not far away, Zhao Sanshui hurriedly turned his head to look, and a few people who were kneeling there crying and begging for mercy quickly jumped up, holding a short knife of about two feet in their hands and slashing at Zhao Sanshui.
It turned out that Zhao Sanshui was still wearing armor, and the area around Jeju Island in the south of North Korea was where the warm ocean current passed, and the temperature was much higher than on land, and it was indeed cumbersome to wear armor when sailing on the sea, and it was used to wearing cloth clothes after a long time.
But although the clothes have been changed, the weapons in the hands have not been changed, and the broadswords on land are used, which is extremely inconvenient on the ship, and of course the weapons held by the old sailors on the ship are still scimitars and short guns.
Hearing the wind behind him, Zhao Sanshui reacted quickly, and the big knife on his waist was already drawn up easily, but the waist knife happened to be knocked on the side of the ship, and then he felt a sharp pain in the left shoulder behind his back, and he was already injured by the other party, but fortunately, there were three or four soldiers beside him, and the reaction was much faster.
The closest raider was blocked by a soldier after making a move, so he stabbed Zhao Sanshui in the shoulder, otherwise he would have pierced directly into the vital point.
The soldiers on the ships of the Jiang Jiajun are accustomed to being domineering on the sea, and they have always been smooth sailing, and now the merchants who pass through this sea as long as they are targeted by the warships, they will immediately obediently come over to pay the money and deliver the goods, and Inchon and Minwei, whether it is soldiers and regimental training, are extremely strict in their daily training, and the slightest laxity is military law service. However, in the far away place of Emperor Tiangao in Jining Mansion, he naturally relaxed.
People are inert, but as a soldier, if you lose your vigilance and training, I am afraid it will be a fatal problem, the two ships are now close together, and the slight hesitation of the personnel on the Jiang Jiajun's ship gave the other party a big opportunity, and the deck suddenly opened two or three holes.
Dozens of short-dressed people rushed out of it viciously, and pounced on the soldiers of the Jiang family army with short soldiers in their hands, screaming for a while, and now the armed merchant ship was already in chaos, and the ship used as a reserve watched the fight between the two ships not far away, and didn't know which one to help for a while.
Now that the soldiers around Zhao Sanshui have fallen two, he and the remaining two people are leaning side by side, and they can't count on the soldiers on their own ships, the reason why Jiang Feng emphasizes the application of firearms so much is because his subordinates are not professional in naval warfare and many aspects in addition to being brave in land battles.
For example, at sea, the ship-jumping gang is not a perennial sea struggle, in the turbulence of wind and waves, jumping from this ship to another ship, but also a quick hand-to-hand fight, but not to say that it can be done immediately.
It is precisely because of this that the role of naval artillery is particularly emphasized in the navy of the Jiang Jiajun, even if the artillery of this era is not accurate, but the two sides are separated, and as soon as more than a dozen guns are fired, it is directly over.
On Zhao Sanshui's boat, more than a dozen fell immediately because of the surprise, and the rest of the fighting on the ship fell to the downwind, and among these people who disguised themselves as merchant sailors, there were also a few people who were armed with Japanese knives, and their hands were particularly flexible, jumping and tossing on the boat, killing with one sword.
The small space does not pay attention to any formation at all, it is completely a competition of personal qualities, and those light artillery pieces are even more useless.
Zhao Sanshui listened to the screams of his subordinates, the big knife in his hand was waving, and he was shouting and fighting loudly, but the harder he worked, the harder the wound in the back, the more he bleed, and he gradually felt a little dizzy, and the two soldiers around him were cut down on the spot.
He was already a little defenseless, a little relaxed, and was slashed in the back, and couldn't help but let out a heart-rending scream, no longer able to raise the knife, and fell heavily on the deck, at this time he heard the shouts of killing on his own ship.
A person beside him, muttering a few words, Zhao Sanshui had heard this language, and it was the Japanese language on the Japanese merchant ships that came and went.
Suddenly there was a loud roar:
"Sink this ship for me with a cannon......"
The voice stopped abruptly, and a long knife pierced his throat at once.
The battle on the other ship was also about to come to an end, more than a dozen people were surrounded in the corner, and the people outside were holding long and short weapons to surround and attack, but more than a dozen sailors of the Jiang family army inside were gathered together, holding long weapons in their hands, so that they looked like hedgehogs, and they couldn't break through at all.
On the ship led by Zhao Sanshui, the battle was already over, and Zhao Sanshui's dying shouts could not reach the sea with strong winds and waves, and the victor quickly threw the body into the sea, and was about to think about how to use the ship's cannon to bombard the third Jiang Jiajun ship that had been supported in the past.
A few people smiled and prepared to go down to bring out the gunpowder, although the artillery was a rare thing, but the general operation was more clear.
Entering the cabin, hearing the sound of clicking, several people were startled, one person opened the upper hatch wider, and below there was a bloody man who was struggling to cut a wooden barrel with a knife, and the sun shining down on it, this person looked back and smiled hard.
The barrel had been cut open, and some black powder was emitted from it, and the man took the red coal that had been blown in his hand......
