Yes...... Yes...... Yes......

"The idea is hard, brothers withdraw!"

In the middle of the night, Yang Renyu was awakened by a scream, and he reflexively stood up to check the movement, and saw that the people on the two boatmen not far away were desperately shaking their paddles to escape.

"Blow the whistle, stop shooting." Yang Renyu ordered without looking back.

"Beep...... Beep...... Beep ......" Among his slaves, Yang Lifang, who was in charge of the order, immediately sounded three bamboo flutes.

This is an order to stop the attack, and at night because of the poor line of sight, it is not possible to use the command flag, so it is best to use the voice to give the order.

It turned out that this was a group of river bandits who saw that several boats in their fleet had a deep draft, so they wanted to make a windfall, but they didn't know that they had stubble, and the river bandits were all people who licked blood on the knife for many years, and they knew how to advance and retreat, and they would quickly pull it when they encountered a strong enemy, and they would never be stupid to take revenge and blood hatred.

The water bandits sneak attacked, Yang Renyu didn't care, he had already prepared in his heart, they are not officers and soldiers, they have no obligation to suppress bandits, suppressing bandits will not benefit them in the slightest, it is better to save some arrows, so he ordered to stop shooting.

Of course, there were people on duty at night, all of whom were soldiers, and those slave soldiers had not yet practiced archery because their strength training was not up to standard, so Yang Renyu simply did not issue bows and arrows to them, and ordered them not to show up easily in advance.

The fleet continued to move eastward, and when it was almost to Jiujiang, the old shipowner commanded the fleet to dock and explained to Yang Renyu: "Virtuous nephew, Jiujiang is almost here, you must go ashore here, and we have arranged for our nephews and nephews to take you over to a fixed place downstream, and then let you get on the boat." ”

There is a sailor stationed at the mouth of the Jiujiang River, which is an important checkpoint on the Yangtze River. In fact, salt smuggling is also mixed through the checkpoint in this way, and everyone who eats water is a ghost, and there are ways to deal with it.

People can dodge, but the goods can't, this time it's not like transporting shells before, and I'm not afraid of checking, so Yang Renyu immediately ordered the slaves to bring the five hundred taels of silver that had been prepared a long time ago, and handed it to the old shipowner: "Old shipowner, the checkpoint needs to be dotted, you can accept this bit of silver first, don't be stingy with silver, I will make up for it if it's not enough." ”

The old shipowner was not polite, and accepted it directly, and Yang Renyu immediately ordered his subordinates to command the soldiers to go ashore, because it was a light night trip, and an acquaintance led the way, and walked for about an hour to the agreed place of embarkation.

The fleet has been waiting there for a long time, and there is silver to open the way, and it is easy to say anything, but also because they are the people of the tank, and the old shipowner pretends to be the timber for transporting ships, and there is a road to prove it, so the investigation is looser, if it is a suspected salt dealer, it is not so simple, and the ship will definitely be seized and carefully inspected. The profits from the investigation of smuggled salt were very large, and a little silver could not send away the officers and soldiers.

In the second half of the night, the boat didn't travel for long, the sky began to turn red, the morning sun passed through the horizon, dyed the clouds in the sky red, the old shipowner and Yang Renyu came to discuss, the ship was going to dock to rest, Yang Renyu of course had no opinion, nodded and agreed.

When the fleet sailed to the river bay where it usually docked, it found that there were already two ships there, and the old shipowner hurriedly directed the fleet to sail downstream.

The first is that they originally docked during the day to avoid outsiders, and the second is that the old shipowner is an old Jianghu, and he knows that they are two private salt boats, and forcing them to approach may cause the other party to attack. Although there are many people, it is better to have more than one thing and one thing less, so it is better to get out of the way.

In this way, the fleet reversed black and white, Xiaofu traveled at night, and mixed with the downstream Anqing, Wuhu, Tongling, Ma'anshan and other checkpoints, but it was not easy to mix below Nanjing, where the population was dense, and there were residential areas on both sides of the Yangtze River, so it was no longer suitable to detour at night, so it could only spend money to find a local snake to bring it over.

There are not a few people who do not have a road guide, so there are people who rely on this line to eat, they are passenger ships, and the banknote card is checked loosely, as long as a fixed centigold is paid, not as strict as the cargo ship, and they are specialized in this line, and they do not get on and off passengers at the ports designated by the government, so they can avoid many checkpoints.

Of course, it was not enough to get on the people at once, but to divide them into small batches many times, five or six people on a boat, just one soldier with five slave soldiers, so the fleet docked in the upper reaches of Nanjing for a few days before sending everyone to the smuggling passenger ship in batches.

Yang Renyu also took Lu Chuanzong and a few slave soldiers on a smuggling passenger ship, paid money to get on the ship, and the fare was three times more expensive than a regular passenger ship.

Yang Renyu and his entourage had six people, and the slave soldier Yang Lilai was in charge of the scattered silver, one tael per person, and paid six taels of silver.

When I entered the cabin, I saw that there were good guys, there were people of all religions and nine ranks, there were people in the rivers and lakes with swords and swords, fugitive slaves who eloped together, refugees from the north with rich families, traffickers with women, and even people with vicious faces and court criminals, etc., but there was no normal person.

When you go out, everyone just wants to cover their salt shakers, they don't want to be nosy, and no one has nothing to do to talk to, everyone's butts are not clean, and it's not good for everyone to make trouble.

There was nothing to say all the way, and from time to time people got on and off the boat along the way, and Lu Chuanzong and a few slave soldiers only tasted seasickness at this time, and vomited in a daze.

Yang Renyu is a person who has come over, he is no longer seasick, like a nobody, he comforted Lu Chuanzong and a few slave soldiers: "It's okay, if you vomit a few times, you will get used to it." ”

"The seasickness is so uncomfortable, I'm afraid I'll even vomit up the overnight meal." Lu Chuanzong replied weakly.

"Everybody has to go through this, unless you don't get on the boat, and I'm seasick, and it'll be fine the next day. It's okay, if you spit out, your heart will be comfortable. Yang Renyu smiled and helped Lu Chuanzong pat his back.

Due to the large number of people in Yang Renzong and his party, except for the scholar Lu Chuanzong, all of them were full of flesh and had a bad face, so no one couldn't help but open their eyes to find trouble with them, so they went all the way to the boundary of Songjiang Mansion safely.

"It's time to get off the boat." The guys on the boat shouted loudly into the cabin.

Of course, it is not Songjiang Port, but they built their own private port, which is connected to the river by a wooden bridge, and the ship leans to the side of the wooden bridge to anchor, and the passengers climb onto the wooden bridge and go ashore.

A few slave soldiers climbed the trestle bridge first, and then stretched out their hands to pull Yang Renyu and Lu Chuanzong onto the bridge, Yang Renyu looked at it, this is already the outskirts of Songjiang Mansion, and finally arrived at the destination.

But now there is a trouble, since the soldiers came on different smuggling ships, it is impossible to disembark from a private port, Yang Renyu must now find all his subordinates, and also find the fleet.

Of course, there have been perfect countermeasures, and the fleet will pick up people one by one along the riverside, but now I don't see the fleet, it may be picking up people somewhere else, so Yang Renyu and his men just left the smuggling port for about half a mile and hid on the riverside to wait for the ship.
