The newly selected non-commissioned officers of Shuyang are all with some martial arts foundation, so it is not so difficult to train, and in just half a month's effort, it is to transmit all the basic skills that cannot be ignored in the army.

Because some time ago, Lin Yuyan extorted a sum of money and food from the wealthy family of Shuyang under the pretense of making the hand of the Yang Ling and Huang De, so that the Weiyang Army was not embarrassed because of the initial construction.

The thousand-strong Shuyang army is all in armor and sharp, and they are young and long.

In addition, those folk volunteers on the dock have now been awarded the number "Shuishui Yicong" by Lin Yuyan, and reported to Chaoyan that if Lin Yuyan's estimate is good, if this "Shuishui Yicong" number wants to be recognized by the imperial court, it should be after quelling the Shuishui bandits.

In the past few days, the bandits have been honest for a long time because of the first two losses of the army.

But it doesn't have to stop from now on.

On July 19, with the assistance of the Zong Guard, he achieved a "great victory", which was a nail that could not be ignored if the water bandits wanted to control the land, and if it was not removed, he would be like the eyeliner of the government guarding the front line of the government in the water.

Therefore, when Lin Yuyan was reminded by Han Kui, he decided to use the ground as bait and set a trap to lure this group of bandits to come and attack.

Sure enough, on the evening of July 19, Lin Yuyan received the battle report of the Shuyang Army, "Nearly 100 enemies have been killed!" ”。

For this achievement, Lin Yuyan only nodded, after all, the current Shuyang Army is a regular army, and with the assistance of its own sect guards, it is not bad to achieve such results.

However, since this is the case, Lin Yuyan can be regarded as stopping the intention of the water bandits to occupy the land.

Linghuang De has been contacting the wealthy family in Yuyang for the past few days to ask for supplies, and today he also reported to Lin Yuyan.

"Is Yong's ship ready?" Lin Yuyan asked.

Ying De nodded and replied: "It has been handed over, in addition to the ten red horse boats, the Yong clan has also transferred a "Meng Chong" over. ”

"Meng Chong?"

Lin Yuyan knew that this thing was called a small "building boat", which generally had two to three floors, and could seat thirty or forty people on it.

In addition, Yong's ten red horse boats and the boats of the Huaiyang pier, this time the battle with the water bandits on the dock is not to lose any opportunity.

Lin Yuyan asked Jing Yi again: "Jing Yi, what information did you ask about the live water bandit you caught?" ”

Jing Yi nodded: "There are a lot of bones that are not hard, so I asked a lot of news, Your Highness, there are far more water bandits than we guessed, these years Wuguo is either a natural disaster, or a man-made disaster, and many people can't survive because they are bandits." ”

Jing Yi paid attention to his Royal Highness's face as he spoke, for fear that His Royal Highness would get the news and be furious, but what Jing Yi didn't expect was that His Royal Highness just sighed and said: "The officials forced the people to rebel and force Liangshan to ......"

Hearing this, Huaiyang made Huang De frightened, although he didn't understand what it meant to force Liangshan, but the officials still understood the rebellion of the people, and immediately knelt on the ground and said: "The subordinates will never force these people to rebel!" ”

Lin Yuyan was also shocked by the action of the Yang Ling, waved his hand and said, "The Yang Ling is too worried, I didn't mean you." ”

The sun made Huang De stop his panic.

Lin Yuyan looked at the Shuyang Order and continued: "In the past, what the Shuyang Mansion controlled was nothing more than the fact that the Wuguo Imperial Court was issued by the government decree of the Wuguo Dynasty in the first place, and there was no real power, and even the garrison of the city in Shuyang was controlled by those wealthy families, and the administration of the Shuyang Order had scruples, which is understandable, but now, the Shuyang Government has a direct control of the Shuyang Army, and there are also Shuishui righteous servants on the dock, with such confidence, the Shuyang Order does not have to be with those big families!" ”

Shuyang Ling nodded, and after recalling this sentence, he realized that His Royal Highness Wancheng had pointed the finger of "official coercion and civil rebellion" at those big families!

Are you going to do it to those big families?

Shuyang Ling thought so in his heart.

Jing Yi continued to speak: "Your Highness, according to the confessions obtained, the scale of the various water bandits in the water is now under the "connivance" of the imperial court, far exceeding the scale of the year, and the total number of large and small water bandits is more than 1,000 people. ”

Lin Yuyan was also quite surprised by this news, it seems that to solve the problem of water bandits, not only to send troops, but also to think of expedient measures.

If so, Lin Yuyan looked at the Shuyang Order and said, "Tomorrow, all the officials of the Shuyang Mansion will be sent to all places under their jurisdiction to measure and register the land. ”

Shuyang Ling bent down and responded, "Yes." ”

Then Lin Yuyan looked at Jing Yi and continued to ask, "Have you heard any news about the water bandits' lair?" ”

Jing Yi replied: "There are many water bandits in the Ma clan, as if they are the leaders of the bandits in Shuishui, how can they tell others about the old nest, the general water bandits' nest is also the top priority, and now the water bandits' nest is only a few small bandits' nests, but I still heard a useful news, that is, the place where the water bandits often come to meet is on a waterway in the waterway." ”

"Record these messages on bamboo slips and give them to Xiang Ying." Lin Yuyan commanded.

"Well," Jing Yi nodded in response, but he still thought of one thing, and said, "Your Highness, there is another folk news, you better listen to it." ”

"You say yes."

"Folk rumors say: There are more thorns in the water bandits!"

"Thorn Sun?" When Lin Yuyan heard the name of this place, he also thought about it and said, "We took a boat from Wancheng to Shuyang, did we pass through this thorny yang?" ”

Jing Yi nodded.

However, it was Linghuang De who was more familiar with Jianyang, and he stepped forward and said: "Jianyang is in the northeast of Huaiyang, the right city of Shuishui, and it is a feng shui treasure land with outstanding people. ”

Lin Yuyan nodded, and had a general impression of the location of Thorn Yang, that is, he asked: "Since it is a feng shui treasure land with outstanding people, why do you say that there are more water bandits in Thorn Yang?" ”

Shuyang Ling glanced at Jing Yi, made a hint of abandonment on his face, and then slowly spoke: "It is precisely because Shuyang is a treasure land of feng shui that it will bring disaster to this place, Your Highness heard the treasure land of feng shui, what did you think?" ”

"Feng Shui Treasure Land......" Lin Yuyan muttered, and suddenly thought, "Is it a cemetery?" ”

Yang Ling Huang De nodded secretly.

Sure enough, it's a cemetery!

Lin Yuyan opened his mouth and asked, "Who wants to sleep in a cemetery that is thousands of acres wide?" ”

Lin Yuyan remembered that Rao is the cemetery of the royal family of Wuguo is just a big mountain in the Taimiao under the jurisdiction of the Zongfu outside Wancheng.

"It's the old clan of the Martial Kingdom, in addition to the Hao clan here in Shuyang, there are ...... There are also the wealthy families of Wancheng......"

Shuyang Ling paused and replied.
