Chapter 717: A Thousand Miles Away
Yanjin Port is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, and late at night, 30 salt ships slowly sailed in from the eastern part of the Yellow River, and were about to bypass Yanjin Port and go west upstream.
A dozen or so sergeants dressed in beige coarse cloth, dressed in copper protective leather armor, were on the lookout of the harbor, and the general in the harbor had already fallen asleep, and still sent his own soldiers, wearing armor inlaid with iron sheets, to check outside the harbor.
This pro-soldier is like an uncle, lying on his back on the big rattan chair on the open-air observation deck, while looking at the sky leisurely, while letting the soldiers around him use a pampas fan made of lotus leaves to repel mosquitoes.
This caravan has repeatedly evaded taxes, and has not paid taxes at the ports of its own waters, which has been many times. The soldiers of the Yuan family missed many opportunities to make money because of slackness, and Ma Yan, the new captain of the naval academy, was being sent here to supervise the military affairs here.
Repeated orders were issued to allow passing merchant ships to pay fees according to the size of the ships, and heavy taxes were especially imposed on merchant ships that liked to use cao to sell salt and grain to the Guanzhong region.
Although Yuan Shao sits in the wealthy Jizhou, but in the military salary of the soldiers, there is still a situation where the boss deducts the military salary of the subordinate soldiers, which supervises the transportation and is conducive to earning inputs, except for the filial piety to the boss, and the remaining part handed over to the treasury, and the remaining part of the salary is barely enough to make the soldier's salary appear sufficient.
For this reason, Ma Yan even moved out of Liyang and went down to Pingqiu, just to come and inspect every ten years.
Seeing ahead, there were already merchant ships raising their sails, like a large merchant fleet, everyone was overjoyed, and the soldiers of the Yuan family, who were already full of energy, looked energetic when they boarded.
In these years, as long as he didn't meet the army of the Ye family in Liaodong, the Yuan army had always been showing off his might.
Although Cao Cao shared the Yellow River with Yuan Shao in Yanzhou on the other side, Cao Cao never dared to interfere in paying taxes or anything. The situation is stronger than people, after all, the soldiers of Jizhou are strong and strong, and the head of his own family was once the leader of the alliance of the world's heroes, although the two families share the middle reaches of the Yellow River, they are indeed only supporting the Yuan family.
In fact, Cao Cao has long seen it, but he is a person who understands and knows that this will cause conflicts between the two families, and even fight each other, and the loss at that time will not be compensated for by a little tax.
"Great, boat, ship."
These soldiers, looking out, saw the east of the Yellow River, there are big ships slowly going upstream, this has never seen so many big ships, together in groups, this is God's eyes opened today.
According to this distance, there is still half an hour of sailing before it can pass through the control range of Yanjin Port, and the captain of several soldiers immediately ran to the front of the soldier who was enjoying the service of the soldiers to drive away mosquitoes, and reported loudly.
"What's big, isn't it just a ship? This point, forget it, it's troublesome to call everyone, just let him pass. ”
The pro-soldier was not happy to be woken up, squinted at the captain, and ordered. Leaking the night while everyone is resting, to catch up with the goods, this is also considered home, this is to put the other party a yard, anyway, it must not be a cargo ship of a big business.
As soon as this soldier ordered, Wu Chang was dumbfounded, the money sent to the door was still so much, this month's Yulu, I heard that Yecheng was attacked, and the taxes were robbed by Ye Chen's group of Liaodong soldiers.
I don't know if I can get the soldiers' salaries this month, but I obviously look at the past, there are at least dozens of big business of cargo ships, and they are about to pass here, so why don't you accept it.
Wu Chang's eyes were red, but the soldiers felt that they had done a great deed, and they squinted their eyes and fell asleep.
Wu Chang didn't know where he got the courage, so he stretched out his hands and grabbed the collar of this personal soldier, and shook it vigorously.
"My lord, these are a dozen big boats! If it is known from above, it will be let go for nothing, and it will kill us. ”
The soldiers were suddenly grabbed by Wu Chang, and they were furious, and suddenly heard Wu Chang glaring at him and roaring to himself, saying that he was going to meet a big ship, or a dozen, which made him wake up immediately in fright.
Stretched out his hand and pushed Captain Wu away, but he kicked it over and scolded.
"Are you riding a horse to find death? With such important information, why not report it early? ”
As he spoke, he kicked him twice, and the other Wu Chang beside him, seeing that his colleague was beaten by his superiors, couldn't bear it, and immediately came to comfort him.
The beaten Wu Chang is tall and big, but unfortunately he has a shelf, although he also has a lot of strength in his body, but he has been full and hungry for a long time, how can he compare with this pro-soldier who has a lot of fish and meat every day.
The more angry this soldier became, he was about to snatch Ge from the soldiers around him, and when he saw that he was about to end up with this captain who dared to commit an offense, the captain next to him begged bitterly at this time.
"My lord, this can't be delayed any longer, didn't he just say that there is a big ship? Any further delay will be far away. ”
The soldiers were frightened by a spirit, and their vision was not good at night, but if it was daytime, a ship sailing for three or two hours could also see it, and at night, it might be more than half an hour of waterway.
"It's not good, go and gather people, and immediately go out of the water village to intercept it. I must rob me without leaking. ”
At this time, the soldiers threw down the Ge in their hands and immediately commanded everyone.
The tun general who is guarding here already sleeps in his own room, although this is said to be Captain Ma to supervise the army, but there are policies and countermeasures here, where will there be so many cares.
Under the command of the soldiers, the soldiers also began to make preparations in an orderly manner, in the water village in this Yanjin port, there is only one division of troops guarding here, and in peacetime, the Qu general will give orders in the barracks, and the tun generals will take turns to take charge of the army's affairs, including calculating taxes with the caravans of the passing merchants, and this kind of thing is also decided by the tun generals.
The pro-soldier is subordinate to the pro-soldier under the Tun general, at this time, the main general is today, and he should make a great contribution together, thinking that it will not be long before the official can be reinstated and return to Yecheng.
In the battle with Ye Chen before, he was beaten by his black-armored soldiers and lost his armor, but fortunately, he was generous to the lord, but he was demoted and demoted to this Yanjin Port as a general.
While instructing the soldiers to prepare quickly, the soldiers immediately went to the general's room to wake up the general.
When I heard that there were more than a dozen boats, I immediately came to the spirit, gathered the navy, and immediately pulled twenty small boats out of the water village.
This tun will drive a small boat, out of the water village to see, when the landing gasp, this three-zhang high boat, eight zhang long hull, looking from afar, like a big monster walking in the water.
On the one hand, the commander was bold, and on the other hand, he drove more than a dozen small boats to surround the first one, and the soldiers were fully armed, and everyone was on standby, and the captain of his command led people to lean up.
After some negotiations, he let the fleet slowly follow him into the water village first.
Tun Jiang was overjoyed at this time, and immediately ordered the door of the water village camp to open, which looked at the boat draft is very deep, presumably there are a lot of goods on the ship, if this can be scraped hard, in the relationship above, he can still be reinstated.
When I think of this, my heart is happy.
Yanjin Water Village, build a grand scale, which accommodates a little merchant ship is more than enough, this looks like a windfall is about to fall from the sky, Tun will show off his might and command everyone, ready to loot, in order to prevent the other party from escaping, but also specially closed the water village.
Seeing that on the merchant ship, all the people were terrified, and they all lowered their heads and hid in the cabin, and the general was even more proud, picking up the first five ships, setting up a springboard, and preparing to come on board for inspection.
Suddenly, in the darkness, countless armor soldiers poured out of the cabin, cut down the soldiers who were about to go on the ship to loot, and killed directly on the shore of the water village.
There are 30 big ships, and it is difficult for the warships to turn over when the water village is blocked, and the gate of the water village has been blocked, which is fatal, and they have jumped into the water to escape to the shore.
At this time, General Tun was slashing and killing the soldiers who had fled in defeat, and was about to stop them, ready to block them again, but he didn't want to, on the other boat, a man wearing Xuanming armor was holding a torch and shouting loudly.
"Ye Youguo is here, why don't you come down early."
Ye Chen adheres to the principle of suppressing people with power, and tries not to move if he can, after all, he will feel distressed if his soldiers die.
