Chapter 15: The Thief

As soon as the storm stopped, many infantry couldn't help it, and before they could run out of the cabin, they vomited all over the ground.

Smelling this smell, people who don't get seasick feel a little sick in their stomachs!

For a moment, the cabin was filled with a sour smell.

Those who could still stand up, even if they were still dizzy, couldn't wait to get out of the deck, breathe in the fresh air, and their minds were much clearer.

Seeing that the storm had stopped, Zhang Shun hurriedly took out the saber that the marshal had loosened for him from his waist, cut the rope, and also cut the rope on Xu Guanzhong's body.

As soon as the rope on his body was cut off, Xu Guanzhong's body leaned forward. Zhang Shun hurriedly hugged him and helped him sit down with his back against the mainmast.

Sitting on the deck, Xu Guanzhong sighed and said: "I finally understand why I know that the sea trade is very profitable, but not many people are willing to go to sea." In the face of this natural force, the power of the individual is too small. A person has no way to control his own life, and even if he loses his life, he is afraid that he will not even be able to find the body. For us, who pay attention to entering the soil for safety, this sea is really a last resort! ”

Zhang Shun shrugged and said: "So those of us who go to sea are people who have today and no tomorrow, and we don't know that we will be taken away by the sea one day." That's why I try my best to enjoy myself as soon as I get to the shore, but I'm afraid that if I miss it, I won't be able to enjoy it again! ”

Xu Guanzhong heard this, looked at the sky that was now clear, and said: "I also know in the book that I may encounter storms when going to sea, but I have never experienced this power in the book, and now I finally understand." No wonder the marshal once said that if you read thousands of books, you have to travel thousands of miles to know the things of the world! Hahaha......"

Seeing this time, Xu Guanzhong could still laugh out loud, knowing that he was fine. Zhang Shun breathed a sigh of relief!

There are many people who are afraid of the sea after encountering such a storm, and they do not dare to go to sea again in the future. It seems that this Mr. Xu is a person with a strong mind and has not been hit at all.

At this time, Zhang Heng saw that the storm had stopped, and handed over the matter of driving the boat to his subordinates, and he ran over to understand Xu Guanzhong's situation as soon as possible.

Seeing that Xu Guanzhong was fine, but his arm was a little bruised, Zhang Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Xu is fine, but before the marshal set out on the expedition, he told him to take care of Mr. Xu, if Mr. Xu had something, Zhang Heng didn't know if he would give the angry marshal a blow to the end when he went back!

Zhang Heng walked over and asked, "Is Mr. Xu okay?" ”

Seeing what happened to Zhang Heng, Xu Guanzhong stood up and arched his hand and said: "I'm fine, thank you Brother Zhang Heng, if you hadn't seen the opportunity early, I'm afraid that I would have encountered an accident!" ”

Zhang Heng was also busy saying: "Mr. Xu is polite, if Mr. has something, the marshal will skin me alive!" ”

Zhang Heng turned his head and shouted at Zhang Shun: "You kid doesn't have a look, I didn't see that Mr. was injured in the arm, why don't you send Mr. into the room to rest, and then go to the doctor!" ”

Xu Guanzhong hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't bother, just scratch, I'll just apply some ointment myself." Let the doctor heal the wounded soldiers! ”

Zhang Heng saw that Xu Guanzhong should be fine, so he said, "Mr. is frightened, go and rest first." I'll also go and find out about the injuries in the fleet first! ”

Xu Guanzhong said: "General Zhang doesn't have to worry about me, you are busy!" ”

Zhang Heng glared at Zhang Shun and shouted, "Take care of Mr., otherwise I will ask you!" ”

As soon as Xu Guanzhong returned to his room, it was the first time he had encountered a storm when he was so big, he was physically and mentally exhausted, and as soon as he got into bed, he fell into a deep sleep.

Zhang Heng had already used his ship-driving skills to try to control the ship, but under the power of nature, more than 20 soldiers were still thrown into the sea and lost their traces, seven or eight soldiers were killed by scattered heavy objects, and more than a dozen soldiers hit heavy objects because they did not grasp the fixed objects steadily, and are now lying on the deck, receiving emergency treatment from the doctor accompanying the ship.

As for the minor injuries, there are countless of them.

The infantry had just encountered the storm, and many of them had not yet recovered from their fears. As a last resort, Zhang Heng could only take the risk and ordered the fleet to dock so that his subordinates could rest.

After choosing a remote coast to go ashore, he sent Zhang Shun to lead people to buy five truckloads of old wine in disguise, then bought 30 pigs and a dozen sheep, and then sent sailors to salvage a lot of seafood, so that the infantry could eat and drink a meal, so that the low morale could recover.

After a day's rest, the fleet set off again.

After this time, there was no more storm,

The blue sea and the endless blue sky become one in the distant sky.

And between the water and the sky, ten sea ships are connected in a line, from far to near.

The mighty and tall warship sailed to the Zhoushan Islands in the wind and waves.

China has a long coastline, but from ancient times to the present, there is not much awareness of coastal defense.

Before the Great Song Dynasty, except for the battle of Baijiangkou fought by naval divisions on the Goryeo Peninsula during the Tang Dynasty, in fact, China itself was not invaded by the sea at all.

Moreover, Fusang was also afraid of Huaxia like a tiger after the Battle of Baijiangkou, and did not dare to provoke Huaxia at all.

The coast of China has been stable for a hundred years, and the tactics and military strategists of all dynasties have no such thing as naval warfare.

Although the Great Song Dynasty had a strong naval division in the south of the Yangtze River, this naval division basically defended the Yangtze River, not the sea.

Therefore, Liangshan had such a powerful sea force, but it was useless at all, and the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty did not guard against the sea at all.

The Liangshan Navy encountered no resistance and successfully arrived at the Zhoushan Islands on the sixth day after departing from Dengzhou.

The infantry of the Liangshan Army was laid down in batches on Dahengshan and other islands.

Looking at the Liangshan infantry soldiers who landed on the shore, Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun were very unhappy.

Zhang Shun said extremely depressedly: "Hey! In fact, the Lang'er under my command, even if it is a landing operation, are still tigers, and they will not lose to those landlubbers! ”

Xu Guanzhong smiled on the side: "Captain Zhang, don't be anxious. Your navy is the foundation of our army's cross-sea operations, and it is the most important thing. And you need your navy to continuously transport follow-up troops here, and also ensure the safety of military food supplies. All of this needs your navy! Your navy has worked hard and made great achievements, maybe after this battle, you will be promoted to general! ”

Hearing Xu Guanzhong's congratulations, Zhang Shun was happy for a while, but soon had a bitter face.

Killing the enemy in battle and transporting them back and forth are not the same thing at all.

How happy it is to go into battle to kill the enemy, this round-trip transportation, I feel uncomfortable with the credit, and I feel as if I am rubbing the credit of others!

When you go back, you must mention it to the marshal, and let yourself lead the navy to fight and assist the infantry in attacking Hangzhou!

When Zhang Shun sighed, Liang Shanjun quickly landed on the shore and began the construction of the water village.

After sending all the infantry ashore, Zhang Heng and Zhang Shun led the ships to return, and they continued to transport troops back and forth.

After going ashore, Xu Guanzhong did not wait, but sent people to build a water village, and at the same time sent people to contact Liangshan's stronghold in Jiangnan to learn about the latest situation in Jiangnan.

Two days later, he got in touch with Liangshan's secret agent, and Xu Guanzhong also knew about the situation in Jiangnan.

After the Song Army's East Route Army regained Hangzhou, it waited for the West Route Army to rest and recuperate, and now the Song Army and the Fangla Army are holding each other on the line of Muzhou and Yuezhou.

In the marshal tent of the barracks, a map of Jiangnan was spread out in the camp.

Xu Guanzhong said: "General Zhu, you see that there are 20,000 Song troops in Hangzhou City now, and there are nearly 100,000 Song troops in Muzhou, even if the 10,000 reinforcements I went south have arrived, it will be difficult to conquer Hangzhou City in a short time." Once it can't be delayed under the city, and other Song troops rush to the rescue, our army will be in danger. We must find a way to disperse the defenders of Hangzhou, so that it is convenient for our army to attack Hangzhou. ”

Zhu Tong looked at the red flag on the map indicating the Song Army and nodded and said, "What Mr. Xu said is very reasonable, I don't know what Mr. has a good plan?" ”

Xu Guanzhong pointed to the three counties of Jiaxing, Haiyan, and Huating near Hangzhou and said: "Although Hangzhou is heavily guarded, because these counties are in the rear of Hangzhou, the defense of the Song army here is much worse. I think our army can pretend to be local heroes, attack these three counties, and declare to the outside world that it echoes the Fangla uprising. In this way, the defenders of Hangzhou will be lured out, and when our army arrives, we will sneak attack and conquer Hangzhou. As long as Hangzhou City is taken, with the sharp weapons built by the marshal to defend the city, coupled with the good fighting of our army, even if the Song army is ten times more than our army, it will not be able to conquer Hangzhou City! ”

Zhu Tong heard the approving saying: "Good strategy, the marshal told me before the expedition, let me cooperate with Mr. Hao." Sir, if you give orders, I will obey! ”

Xu Guanzhong arched his hand and said, "Thank you, General Zhu, I plan to ...... like this."

The Sui Dynasty dug the Jiangnan River, that is, the Grand Canal from Hangzhou to Zhenjiang through Jiaxing, which brought the benefits of irrigation boats to Jiaxing.

In addition, Jiaxing is close to Taihu Lake, rich in water sources, is an important grain production area in southeast China, known as the "land of fish and rice" reputation, there is "Jiahe a shelf, Jianghuai for the health; Jiahe apologizes, and JAC is thrifty".

September is the autumn harvest season, and the wind blows the fragrance of rice and flowers on both sides.

More than 500 soldiers of the Liangshan Army wore ordinary fishermen's clothes, hid their weapons in the cabin, took a sand boat, went ashore near Haiyan at dusk, and took advantage of the night to march all the way to the Shen family, a large landlord in Jiaxing County.

Looking at the yellow and clear rice, Zhu Tong showed joy and shouted: "Harvest it all!" ”

"Yes!"

Following the order, those soldiers of the Liangshan Army immediately carried their weapons on their backs and scythes in their hands to harvest the rice.

These soldiers of the Liangshan Army were all from poor families, and most of them were from ordinary peasant families before joining the army, and they began to help their families work when they were young, and they were no strangers to farm work.

More than 500 people came to steal rice, and even in the middle of the night, they couldn't hide it. What's more, Liang Shanjun did not hide it at all, and harvested rice openly with fifty or sixty torches.

The villagers of the Shen family, who took care of the farmland, had already discovered these thieves, and they were really bold, and they rushed to steal rice with torches, and they really didn't treat the uncle as a human being.

The two bankers hurriedly rang the gong, "Someone! Come on, someone's stealing rice, someone's stealing rice, catch the thief quickly......"

Hearing that someone dared to steal the rice from the Shen family, soon two or three hundred villagers heard the sound of gongs and hurriedly ran over with wooden sticks, iron forks, and hoes to beat these thieves fiercely.

Before the person got closer, the two wolf dogs that were fed had already pounced ferociously in a "wangwang......".

But as soon as they ran closer, they only heard a whoosh, two cold lights flashed, and two dog heads flew into the air, and blood splattered immediately.

Looking at the wolf dog that fell to the ground, Zhu Tong nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, it's a black dog, and it's very fat." Someone! Roast these two dogs for me, and beat them for a tooth sacrifice! ”

"Yes, King!" Xu Guanzhong cooperated and shouted loudly.

Liang Shanjun, who had been vigilant on the periphery, suddenly divided three people to collect firewood, and two people stepped forward to pick up the two dogs, and they used knives to cut them neatly, peeled off the dogs' skins, and then hollowed out the internal organs, skewered them with a wooden stick, and waited for the firewood to burn, and then they could be put on to roast.

Xu Lang is a famous martial artist in the south of the Yangtze River, and he can't get close to hundreds of people in leisure, so he was invited by the Shen family to be the head of the Guardian Village.

Although there are hundreds of people who know the thieves, Xu Lang is not afraid, not to mention that this time he brought nearly 300 villagers, just with the spear in his hand, he has the confidence that he is not afraid of anyone.

Seeing that the guard dog raised by the Shen family was actually killed by this gang of thieves, Xu Lang was furious.

The Shen family is a family of poetry and books with a head and a face in Jiaxing, and who dares to be disrespectful from far and near. This gang of thieves dared to come and steal the rice, not to mention, when they saw me coming, they didn't run away quickly, and dared to kill the dog fed by the Shen family in front of me, and they wanted to roast and eat it. It's just too much to give me face, too little to give the Shen family.

Wait a minute, kill these thieves directly, and throw them to Taihu Lake to feed the fish!

Xu Lang led people to rush to the rice field and shouted loudly: "You dog thieves don't have bright eyes, and even our Shen family's rice dare to steal." If you don't take your dog's head to pay tribute to the two dogs raised by the Shen family, it's right...... Sorry ......"

Xu Lang couldn't shout the words in his mouth, and he didn't dare to kill these thieves.

The judgment was completely wrong, and when he saw that there were fifty or sixty torches, he thought that these thieves were one or two hundred people.

But Xu Lang didn't expect that there were five or six hundred of these thieves.

And what scared him even more was that these thieves were all real people with knives and guns.

This is completely different from most of the bankers on my side who are still holding sticks and hoes.

The Zhuang Ke who ran close also saw that the number of thieves was far beyond imagination, and they didn't dare to make a sound and looked at Xu Lang in unison.

Seeing so many people looking at him, Xu Lang knew that he must not be cowardly at this time, otherwise if he let the Shen family know, he would still have the face to continue to stay in the Shen family in the future.

Xu Lang walked out with a spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "That's the leader, come out to talk." Do you know whose field this is? Let me tell you, these fields belong to the Shen family. The Shen family has produced two Jinshi masters, who are big officials in Beijing. If you dare to provoke the Shen family, an army will wipe you out in a few days. If you know each other, you will be arrested, maybe the master will be happy and spare your dog's life! ”

Zhu Tong immediately laughed when he heard that the guy in front of him was still thinking of using the name of the Shen family to bluff people.

He carried a knife on his shoulder, walked out and shouted, "Shen family? Which way is the hero, I haven't heard of it! Lao Tzu is the famous greedy ghost Zhu Meng who does not recognize his father and mother and only recognizes silver. What kind of Shen family are you, Lao Tzu doesn't know. If you want to let Lao Tzu and the children stop, no problem, take three thousand taels of silver. Lao Tzu will take people away immediately! Otherwise, you will see the real trick under your hands. Don't take those useless ones to paste Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu doesn't eat this set! ”

When Xu Lang heard it, he knew that he couldn't be good today. He took the spear and shouted: "Okay, let me see Brother Zhu's ability!" ”()
