Chapter Eighty-Five: The Helper

After experiencing Deng Huaiyuan's incident, Zhao Tianyou's mentality has changed, and he has begun to harden his work, and if he is not decisive in killing, I am afraid that there will be no bones left that will be eaten by these people. In the past, Zhao Tianyou looked at these officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and positioned them as representing the righteous side, a true man who licked blood with a knife to resist foreign invasion, and had a reason to forgive even if he did something wrong.

However, after facing the officers and soldiers several times, his status in his mind was greatly reduced, especially the greed of Deng Huaiyuan in Zhangzhou, although he was killed with an arrow, the shattered righteous position could no longer be restored in Zhao Tianyou's heart. Why are the Gan soldiers brave and unyielding? Because it was Wen Tianxiang who led the army and Du Hu who led the troops, it was purely a hard team built by personal charm, and it had nothing to do with the Great Song Dynasty.

The local sailor battalion in Canghai County has a part of the establishment and income of the imperial court, and the rest of the funds must be obtained from Canghai County or the wealthy squires and tyrants nearby. It can also be said that he is already a thug of a certain person or force, and it is no wonder that there is a splash of Pi Laihan to sue and immediately send troops to arrest him, perhaps there have been many such behaviors, and it is beneficial for everyone to divide them after the incident.

"After all, it is a local army that belongs to the imperial court, is it necessary to hurt them?"

When Zhao Tianyou said this, Du Hu hesitated a little, after all, he also grew up little by little from the local armed forces, and he also knew very well about the hunger and military salaries of these local forces.

Zhao Tianyou said with a smile: "Let's not talk about our position, now the warships and sergeants on the water of the Yuan army, ninety percent are the officers and soldiers who surrendered in the Great Song Dynasty, and the other is the pirates under Zhu Qing in the north. Such a Yuan army sailor can drive 200,000 sailors from Wenzhou to Fuzhou, and from Fuzhou to Quanzhou, what do you say is their combat strength?

What can Zhang Shijie do if he besieges Quanzhou? It's just to grab things to take revenge, and he can't capture Quanzhou with his ability, and as more Yuan troops go south, he will soon continue to flee south. We must take the first step before he flees south, or the sailors who are fleeing for their lives will probably take a fancy to our ship and rob us by exterminating the pirates. ”

"Well, I'm sure it will be like this!" Du Hu nodded deeply.

Zhao Tianyou continued: "They will only wait for the Yuan army to come and abandon the ship and flee for their lives, or they will also surrender to the Yuan army and turn their heads to chase and suppress Zhang Shijie who is heading south, why should we let them go?" ”

"Okay, then we'll beat him until he cries! Snatch all the boats and take them away. Du Hu's face was excited, since he was a soldier, he has always paid attention to the orthodoxy of the imperial court, and after Zhao Tianyou's persuasion, he also wanted to taste the taste of being a pirate and stealing people's things.

"Haha, whether it's right or wrong is left to future generations to comment! From now on, it is not enough to take the initiative to provoke us and break his outstretched claws, we must cut off his head in order to warn others and avoid more trouble! ”

The two warships facing the front of them, under Du Hu's constraints, only fired a few thunderbolts, igniting the two attacking warships, and did not really attack them. No matter how huge the difference in range is, the warships of the Canghai Division Battalion were originally very at a loss, and the warship was still one size smaller and still headwind, and it could not hurt Zhao Tianyou's warship at all.

However, the general surnamed Kong refused to give up, and after being put on another line by his subordinates, he was furious, and refused to leave even though he sent people to ask for help, like a shark that smelled blood, and refused to leave for a long time. There are more than 1,000 regular Song troops stationed on Ludao, and Feng Rushan, the general of Jiahe Qianhu, has a good personal relationship with him, and he has two warships of the same size as the place in front of him, and the same crossbow bed is equipped with a crossbow bed for firing giant crossbows, and he has the power to fight with these ships.

The purpose of his encirclement here is also to wait for Song Rushan to come to support, and firing a few giant crossbows will definitely be able to severely damage the enemy ship, not to leave Du Hu and them all, as long as he captures a boat, then he can make up for his losses.

When Zhao Tianyou's warships came, they were all fully loaded, with countless personnel, materials, funds, silver, and food, even if they sent so many support firearms to Zhangzhou City, they did not free up much empty space. As soon as he saw the deep draft of several boats, General Kong's eyes glowed red, how much silver did such a big ship have! I wish I could swallow them all, but after a try, my ship was burned, and if it hadn't been rescued by the soldiers who jumped ship, I would have been a drowned ghost today.

He was not disappointed, and the pro-soldiers, who had gone to ask for help early, came with two warships. Feng Rushan is the general of Ludao Qianhu, don't look at the small number of officials, it is a local official directly appointed and appointed by Lin'an, although he is subordinate to Quanzhou Road, but he does not listen to Pu Shougeng's dispatch.

There has always been a military situation in the north, and he also knows the news of Pu Shougeng's surrender, maybe the imperial court has long forgotten that there is still this general on this island, and no one has given orders to pass the official document after Lin'an surrenders.

However, his forces were really weak, and the two warships could not play any important role, so he made up his mind, pretending that everything was not clear and living on the island very freely. General Kong has some friendship with him, to put it bluntly, he is also a friend of wine and meat, and the same naval division is not far away, so it is inevitable that there will be some contacts with each other.

General Kong took a bamboo ladder to Feng Rushan's warship, and the two stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the four warships opposite.

"Brother Feng, you see, just these pirates pretending to be official ships, and their warehouses are full of looted gold and silver. As a local sailor, I couldn't ignore the duty of protecting the safety of the people, but my boat was a small force and struggled with them for a long time, and I was forced to abandon the ship.

Ah, hundreds of my brothers on two ships! Brother Feng, you have to help me avenge this, let's work together to take down all these pirates. Brother Feng, you have made a great contribution, I will contact the old folks of Canghai County, and write a letter of 10,000 people to ask the court for merit for my brother! “

Feng Rushan didn't listen to General Kong's nonsense at all, the boat had such a deep draft, this piece of meat was fat enough, who could not be tempted. They were all warships of regular official sailors, although there was no obvious flag, Feng Rushan also knew that this was definitely not a pirate, and it was likely that it was an official ship that fled south from Fuzhou, Wenzhou.

"Brother Kong, why are these ships parked here?"

"Oh, it's a pirate robbery, how do I know why! Anyway, they carried with them an infinite amount of silver. No matter what the identity is, we have to keep this ship, even if we just leave one, to make a fortune for our brothers, we have to think about it in the future! ”

Feng Rushan shook his head and said, "Tell me the truth, what are their identities!" If you don't say anything more, I'll turn around and leave, and you can fight them yourself, no matter how much silver you can fall, I will definitely not be blushing! ”

The two of them are still testing each other's intrigues, and Zhao Tianyou here has already made a plan to smash their nest. The pulpers in the bilge are ready, and the sailors on board are waiting for the order to sail with the wind!
