After Lu Daqi left, Lin Yu drove Merkava onto a big ship and transported it to the north bank of the Yangtze River.

Under the leadership of Xu Gongji, a team of more than 12,000 people crossed the river by boat in batches, and spent an hour and a half transporting artillery, horses, grain wagons, and other materials to the opposite bank one after another, waiting for the arrival of Lu Daqi and Caojiang's army.

It wasn't until the evening that Lu Daqi returned in a huff and said to Lin Yu: "Governor Lin, this official has done his best, and Ruan Shilang has allocated two hundred pairs of armor, three hundred helmets, thirty arquebuses, and ten war horses. ”

"Huh?"

Lin Yu's eyes widened, and his eyes showed a fierce light, "There are five hundred people in this team, you can give three hundred helmets and two hundred armor, how can you give such a little arquebus and war horses?" Ma Shiying asked me to relieve the siege of Fengyang, but your military department dragged me back, what is the reason? ”

Lu Daqi was taken aback, and subconsciously took a step back: "What are you aiming at me?" This official has done his best, and according to Ruan Dacheng's wishes, he will give you fifty pairs of armor and fifty iron helmets, and nothing else.

The official begged in every way, and said that Fengyang was Taizu's hometown, and that Fengyang was Ma Ge's territory, Ruan Dacheng only then looked at the face of the deceased Zhang Ge Lao and allocated these materials.

If you are too little, go to Ruan Dacheng by yourself, and the official still doesn't care! ”

Lu Daqi flicked his sleeves and went straight into the carriage to rest, "It's getting late, this official is resting, and he will come to disturb me at night!" ”

Wei Guangdong stepped forward and explained to Lin Yu: "Governor Lin, the Caojiang Army has recruited fifty or sixty thousand people in the past six months, and we Ying Tianwei have also recruited four or five thousand people. ”

Zhang Chenglin was very satisfied, nodded and said: "Governor, I have repeatedly heard my father mention the shortage of materials in the Ministry of War, Ruan Dacheng can allocate these materials is already good, let's come step by step!" ”

Lin Yu nodded and asked Xu Gongji: "Xu Tongzhi, how are you going to be equipped with Tianwei, and report to this governor." ”

"Governor Yudu, we have 13,256 soldiers in Yingtianwei: including 1,500 in the artillery battalion, more than 50 tiger squat guns, Franc machine guns, and general cannons, and 1,500 shells.

The battalion had 2,000 soldiers and 2,500 arquebuses of all kinds. The cavalry battalion was 1,200 people, the bow battalion was 3,000 people, and the rest were infantry. Xu Gongji's voice is loud, and the data provided is meticulous and accurate.

Lin Yu applauded and said: "Yes, Xu Tongzhi is a good general, and he knows the troops under him well, so he will be very pleased." ”

Xu Gongji looked humble and said: "The governor has been awarded, this is a matter of humble duty." The subordinate did not dare to say that he could call out the name of every soldier, but he could know all the non-commissioned officers above the general flag. ”

Ying Tianwei has thirteen thousand households, one hundred hundred households, and two hundred and sixty general banners, if Xu Gongji can really know all the general banners, it is enough to show that this person is meticulous and is a usable talent.

"This Xu Gong has a good performance, he is a general, and he will try his best to collect it for his own use in the future." Lin Yu muttered to himself in his heart, and looked at Xu Gongji's eyes much kinder.

"Oh no, there are a few corpses on the river!" The soldiers by the river suddenly became agitated.

In this war-torn era, human life is as cheap as mustard, and it is not uncommon for river thieves to kill people and cross goods, but several female corpses floated at once, but they are still very eye-catching.

Lin Yu raised his eyes and found that it seemed to be a bit like the costume worn by the palace maid, and he couldn't help but have a bad feeling in his heart, and instructed Xu Gongji: "Send someone to salvage it immediately." ”

A hundred households received the order, led three or four small boats, and in a few moments, the three female corpses were fished up, and sure enough, it was the palace maid who followed Lin Yu out of the Forbidden City.

After listening to Lin Yu tell the identities of these women, Wei Guangdong and Xu Gongji couldn't help but look at each other and shook their heads again and again.

Lin Yu slammed his fist on the flagpole next to him, shaking the banner and trembling, and said hatefully: "If I hadn't chosen these palace maids to follow me out of the palace, they would at least be alive now, speaking of which, I hurt them!" ”

"Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, and it's no wonder that the governor! In these troubled times, bandits and bandits are rampant, human life is as cheap as mustard, and no one knows if they can see the sun tomorrow! ”

Wei Guangdong comforted Lin Yu, and immediately thought of himself, "Just like me, I went to Zhongdu, facing 300,000 Jiannu, I don't know if I can come back alive?" ”

Wei Guangdong looked at the Yangtze River affectionately as he spoke: "Maybe, I, Wei Guangdong, will never see the surging Yangtze River anymore, God knows!" ”

Lin Yu retorted: "Commander Wei's words do not dare to disagree, we are soldiers, and it is our responsibility to protect our family and defend the country." And they were just defenseless weak women who didn't deserve to die. It must have been done by Ruan Dacheng, an old thief, and I swear to him that I will not give up! ”

Lu Daqi, who had just returned to the carriage to rest, heard that the body had been found in Jiangli, so he came over to check, and when he heard Lin Yu's words, he asked rhetorically: "The governor can't talk nonsense, it's not good to slander his colleagues." ”

Lin Yu said hatefully: "What more evidence do you need?" The day before yesterday, Ruan Dacheng's son arrested my brother-in-law and his staff, and I went to ask for someone who was refused, and the governor broke into Ruan's mansion and clashed. His son was shot dead by my guards when he wanted to shoot Ben Tu with a gun, and it must have been Ruan Dacheng who held a grudge and mistakenly thought that my wife was on the ship, so he connived at his subordinates to kill people and sink the ship. ”

Thinking of this, Lin Yu was terrified, but fortunately, he had the foresight to let Jiang Ruhua and Li Xiangjun hide in the tank to escape this catastrophe.

Lu Daqi said with a smile: "The official knows a little bit about the conflict between Lin Dudu and Ruan Shilang, so I won't comment on it here." Everything has to be evidenced, there are many water thieves on the Yangtze River, and the thieves on both sides of the river have a lot of vehicles, who knows if these palace maids were killed by river thieves? Lin Dudu said that it was Ruan Shilang, but there is evidence? ”

Lin Yu hated and was angry in his heart, hating Ruan Dacheng for killing innocents indiscriminately, but he was angry that he couldn't be happy with revenge.

The soldiers are fast, the Qing army is only more than 100 miles away from Sizhou to Fengyang, if he continues to entangle with Ruan Dacheng, delays the march, and is conquered by the Qing army Fengyang City, it will be a great disaster!

Lin Yu drew his sword and slashed at a flag, with a "click", he broke his waist: "Sooner or later, Lin will settle the account with Ruan Lao Thief and give an explanation to these innocent souls who died unjustly!" ”

Seeing Lin Yu's anger, Lu Daqi sneered: "Of course, the murder at the feet of the Son of Heaven is more than good, and it is also the palace maid who killed the saint to give to the governor, which is really a great crime. This official will revise the book to the Criminal Department, so that they can thoroughly investigate the case and bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible! ”

While he was talking, a small boat came from downstream, and it was Zhu Youliang, who was going to the Caojiang Army camp to urge Fang Guoan and Zheng Hongkui to send troops.

"Report to the governor, Yang Zhenzong, the commander of the Caojiang Army, and Fang Guoan, the deputy governor of the Caojiang army, refused to carry out your order and insisted on going north along the Chuhe River. In a fit of rage, I cut off a corner of Yang Zhenzong's handsome case and fought with them, and Fang Guoan decided to explain to the governor. ”

Zhu Youliang, who had a blue nose and swollen face, came to Lin Yu and saluted, and presented Shang Fang's sword with both hands, with a disgruntled expression, "The Cao Jiang army raised by the son of a bitch doesn't take the governor in his eyes at all, he is selfish, and he tries to let us Ying Tianwei rush to the front as cannon fodder." ”

Touching the bruises on his cheeks, Zhu Youliang was a little embarrassed: "Several of them beat me one by one, if I fight alone, I can crush Fang Guoan's eggs." ”

Lin Yu took Shang Fang's sword and hung it on his waist, and comforted Zhu Youliang: "Zhu has worked hard, and this governor will seek justice for you." ”

The world is so impermanent, as a royal clansman, Zhu Yanshi, who despises Lin Yu as a son-in-law, is now counting on this son-in-law to be angry with himself. This made Zhu Youliang feel very shameless, but fortunately, Chen Luyao, who provoked the incident, had already been executed.

"Commander Wei, call your staff soldiers, and if I let you fight, I will beat me hard!" Lin Yu pressed the hilt of the sword with his hand, and his eyes were like frost.

Wei Guangdong was happy to see the excitement, and immediately ordered: "Where is the staff pawn?" Come to the Governor's side and wait for his orders. ”

After another meal, General Zhennan and Deputy Admiral Fang Guoan of the Caojiang Army brought a hundred and ten entourages and arrived late on a big boat.

"Where's Rindudu?"

Fang Guoan, who had a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a big beard, and a rough face, shouted at Ying Tianwei's soldiers as soon as he got off the boat, "Saving soldiers is like fighting fire, are you stupid?" Why don't you hurry up and march towards Fengyang, why are you standing stupidly by the river?

This Lin Dudu is really, will he use soldiers? is still too young, you said that Ma Ge Lao and the emperor are really, just let him drive an ironclad car to be a pioneer, why let him be the governor, he can't do things with hair on his mouth! ”
