"The big boss, his subordinate Yang Yiteng, was ordered to report to him." Yang Yiteng stood in court and bowed a standard salute.

"Hmmm! I asked you to come for nothing else, but to introduce you to the banknotes along the Yangtze River, as well as the situation of the various water divisions. Yang Wenli gently said the reason for calling him.

"There is a fleet of sailors stationed at the mouth of the lake not far downstream, followed by Anqing, Wuhu, Tongling, Dangtu, Nanjing, Yangzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang, and Chongming, which are all major passes with sailors stationed, as well as many checkpoints dedicated to checking illegal salt, and some local government set up ...... cards" Yang Yiteng said what he knew.

"His grandmother's, so many levels!" Yang Wenli couldn't help but scold after hearing this. Immediately, he ordered Yang Rentian with a stern face: "Now it seems that it is impossible to pass the pass in confusion, we can only break through quickly, all the way non-stop, and break through the pass with lightning speed before the government reacts."

Rentian, you take him down and go with Renyue to study countermeasures. ”

"Obey the order" Yang Rentian hurriedly got up to take the order.

It didn't take long for the fleet to set sail, and it didn't take long for Xiao Yan'er to start getting seasick, and she said to Yang Wenli with a sad face: "Xianggong, how do I feel that the day is turning?" It's very uncomfortable, what's going on?. ”

Seasickness is a normal phenomenon, and Yang Wenli can't replace her, so he has to instruct the slave soldiers standing under the court: "Come on, go and ask the boat family to see if there is any brown sugar, and help the lady to make a bowl of brown sugar water." ”

The slave soldiers went in response to the order, and Yang Wenli turned to comfort Xiao Yan'er and said, "Yan'er, you are seasick, it's a normal phenomenon, just get used to it." ”

"Vomit ......" Xiao Yan'er just wanted to speak, she couldn't help but vomit, Yang Wenli hurriedly helped her gently beat her back, and ordered the slave soldiers to quickly find a spittoon to pick it up, and the cabin was suddenly in chaos.

After vomiting, Xiao Yan'er drank the brown sugar water brought by the slave soldiers, and sure enough, she felt a little better, the brown sugar stabilized her heart, and it was hot sugar water, which did have a miraculous effect, but it was not a panacea, it could only be stable for a while, and the key was to rely on people to adapt to the bumps on the ship.

Not only Xiaoyan'er, at this time, many soldiers in the fleet also began to get seasick, and this group of landlubbers, the first time they got on the boat, could not adapt to the bumpy environment of the ship.

Yang Rentian and Yang Renyue were physically stronger than ordinary people, they were unaffected, and they were staying in the fleet on Yang Renyue's car to discuss the plan to break through.

"Let the soldiers wear armor and shields, this will reduce casualties."

Yang Renyue put forward another feasible plan.

"That's not necessary, but the armor and shields should be handed out, and the soldiers can be put within reach."

Yang Rentian shook his hand and denied his opinion. The armor is not only bulky, but also hot, it is the beginning of September, and the weather still bears the tail of summer, which is relatively hot, and the armor is so thick that it will heat people to death. Moreover, the armor is easy to wear, as long as it is put on, there is no need for soldiers to wear it around the clock.

"Intercept all ships that are faster than us, so that people do not have the opportunity to report to the officers and men downstream." Yang Renyue came up with another security plan.

"Hmmm! This option works. This time, Yang Rentian nodded in agreement.

……

In this way, one of them proposed a plan, one person reviewed it, some were adopted, some were denied, and constantly improved the security plan, and then ordered the slaves to convey orders to the fleet, and implemented them one by one.

The fleet went down the river at a very fast speed, and after a few hours it reached the mouth of the lake.

The mouth of the lake is the confluence of Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River, the geographical location is dangerous, known as the "key to the rivers and lakes", and it has always been an important place for soldiers.

In the Jiajing period, the Jiujiang Water Division moved here from the South Lake, there are more than 200 large and small ships, and the mouth of the lake also has the Yangtze River Inspection Department, which is responsible for collecting taxes on the water, which is the most important checkpoint on the Yangtze River.

Yang Renri was in charge of the ballista, his boat was at the front, and he wore a pair of yellow binoculars around his neck, raising them from time to time to observe the movement ahead.

Suddenly, he noticed that several inspection ships were coming from the front towards the fleet, so he immediately called the police: "If you find officers and soldiers, immediately put on your armor and prepare for battle." ”

His slave soldiers were in charge of the flag and immediately waved the flag to convey the warning.

Hukou County belongs to the Yangtze River Inspection Division, the inspection department is generally located in the Guanjin main road, under the jurisdiction of the local prefecture and county, the grade is relatively low, the inspection commander of the corresponding number of archers, responsible for inspecting pedestrians, cracking down on smuggling, and arresting thieves.

Therefore, the configuration of the inspection department is not high, there is no artillery, only firearms such as bowls and birds, and of course, it is also equipped with traditional archers and sword players.

The main function of the inspection department is to collect taxes, and the incoming ship is led by a deputy inspection commander from Jiupin, who saw a large number of ships coming upstream, he immediately became excited, and ordered his subordinates to sail to Jiangxin immediately, wanting to make a windfall.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the history of corruption, the right to have money, the collection of more depends on the inspection, the inspection of the work, although the status is not high, but the oil and water are very sufficient, is a fat shortage, non-county cronies can not serve.

The boat was sailing on the river, of course, it was impossible to avoid it, so the fleet rushed straight to the inspection ship, and when the two sides were getting closer and closer, the archers on the inspection ship finally realized that something was wrong.

Every ship was full of people, and it was a soldier in strange black armor, thousands of soldiers, a black armor in a water, couldn't it be the general of the general of the army? Every patrol soldier who saw such a lineup couldn't help but think.

Although the armor style is very strange, not the court standard sharp armor, but they would never have imagined that it would be a group of bandits and bandits, because in ancient times, a pair of armor was very valuable, and only the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry were allowed to supervise the production, even if someone told them, they would never dare to believe that the other party was a group of mountain kings.

Yang Rentian and Yang Renyue had already discussed the countermeasure plan, that is, if they could, they would deceive, so until the two sides staggered, seeing that the inspection ship did not attack their own side, their own side would not say a word and would not attack the other party.

Watching a fleet of dozens of ships pass under the noses of himself and others, but they couldn't collect a penny in taxes, the archers of the Inspection Division felt very uncomfortable.

An archer couldn't help but ask the deputy inspector, "My lord, what should we do?" ”

"Slap" The deputy inspector was angry, and this archer happened to be a punching bag, and he slapped the head of the mouthy subordinate with a snap and said, "What should I do?" You are blind, the opponent's armor is sharp, can we fight? ”

"Yes, yes, yes! The little ones are damned, the little ones are stupid, please don't be surprised by the adults. The archer apologized.

To tell the truth, the deputy inspector was also full of doubts in his heart, these soldiers were too weird, not only were they dressed strangely, but the military appearance and military discipline were also too good, one by one they stood like a dragon and walked like a dragon, and their waists were straight, which was completely different from the officers and soldiers of the court.

But although he has doubts, he will never dare to make a mistake, and he knows that if he is not interested and forcibly wants to go on the boat for inspection, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

The inspection department is a sesame big official, so he plays prestige on the ordinary people, and anyone who is an official is several levels older than him, and this deputy inspector believes that there must be a chief military inspector of the court on the other party's ship.

In this way, a misunderstanding made the fleet easily cross the lake, if the officers and soldiers of the inspection department did their duty and clashed or fought with their own side, then the Hukou sailors would immediately rush to participate in the battle, so it would definitely be a vicious battle, the sailors were all big ships, and the artillery was sufficient, Yang Wenli They may not be able to fight!
