Chapter 99: Gaizhou Liaomin

Changsheng Island is the largest island in the north, 60 miles long from east to west, 22 miles from north to south, only more than 200 meters away from Nanxunkou, so in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, after the old slave laid Fuzhou, all the residents of the island took refuge in Denglai by boat, if there was no accident, no one returned to the island in the next 30 years.

Yang Renyu's fleet was an accident, and it was Yang Wenli who instructed him to lead the troops here, and there was a big human factor.

"Someone, pass my order, land on the island." When the fleet reached what was apparently a small port, Yang gave the order.

"Lord Xiaoqi has an order, land on the island ......" After a while, Yang Liji's order sounded at the bow and stern.

Why did Yang Wenli ask him to come here? Nothing else but food. Eating and drinking for hundreds of people is not a trivial matter. This island has thousands of fertile fields, and there are abundant aquatic resources, raising hundreds of people such as Yang Renyu, more than enough.

People in the countryside know that there is always fallen rice in the rice field, and there was no hybrid rice in ancient times, and it was rice that could be used as a seed. Even if the inhabitants of the area are gone, there is still a large amount of wild rice in the paddy fields, although unattended, overgrown with weeds, and unfertilized, making the ears of rice very short, but thousands of fields are enough to ensure their food.

Although, early in the morning, he also prepared that in case of food shortage, Yang Ren would lead his troops to the mainland to rob Jiannu, but it was not very safe, because Jiannu was also short of food, so this largest uninhabited island in the north was the best place for Yang Renyu to live in the early days.

Doesn't it mean that the island is too close to the shore? Aren't you afraid that Jiannu will send troops to attack? That is the situation of the official army, so the official army does not dare to occupy this big island, although Yang Renyu does not want to attack Jiannu for the time being, but he is definitely not afraid of Jiannu crossing the sea to attack, if he comes again in winter, then I don't know if Yang Renyu led people to attack Jiannu, or Jiannu came to fight him?

For the troops trained by Yang Wenli's new training method, a few months will definitely be a earth-shaking change. In short, Yang Renyu's troops, as long as they stay on this island for a few months in the early stage of the weak period, the later stage is the time to make a sortie.

Changsheng Island has an excellent deep-water area suitable for building a port, and the residents here naturally know how to use it, so it became an important commercial and trade place in Liaodong at that time. This is convenient for Yang Renyu's fleet, and the ships can be docked directly.

When the helmsman took the helm and slowly approached the ship to the shore, dozens of sailors shouted the trumpet, using the pole against the embankment, slowing down the speed of the ship to the shore, when the sailor tied the thick cable to the pile on the shore, human beings finally trained the giant ship weighing 2,000 materials through their own wisdom, so that it obediently stopped.

When the ship docked, Yang Renyu didn't pay much attention, and his own captain Yang Yiteng was in charge, and he was standing on the top of the high ship's cabin, observing the surrounding situation.

Sharp-eyed, he saw that a few people in the distance were desperately escaping, so he immediately gave an order: "Someone, pass on my order, order Yang Yi Chaoshi, immediately pursue the fugitive, but be careful, if you are not a slave, you must not kill people at will." ”

"Yes" Yang Linai promised loudly, and after giving a military salute, he went downstairs to give the order.

In fact, it was just a few fugitive slaves, that is, Aha of Gaizhou Wei Jiannu, because Jiannu was short of food, they naturally had nothing to eat, so they had to flee with death.

Changsheng Island is the closest and largest island to the mainland, and the island is lush with mountains and forests, with a large area of primeval forest, which is just right for them to hide. It is only more than 200 meters offshore, and you can float over at night by grabbing a plank.

Fugitive slaves are fugitives after all, their physique is weak, Yang Yichao led all the people and horses, far behind, but after chasing for a while, those fugitive slaves were like bellows, out of breath, unable to escape anymore, so they had to obediently tie their hands and sit on the ground one by one, like a living dead.

When Yang Yi chased after them, he couldn't help but be startled, these people didn't know whether they were humans or ghosts, they were all skinny and skinny, I was afraid that a gust of wind could blow them away. All of them were pale and gray, just like the living dead, if it weren't for the blue sky and the white sun, they would definitely be scared to death if they pretended to be ghosts, although they were all money rat tails, but Yang Yichao dared to conclude that they were by no means Jiannu.

Don't ask anymore, these people definitely can't be Jiannu, so Yang Yichao made a gesture and ordered his subordinates to put away their weapons.

"Are you from Liaodong Han? Why do you run away when you see me waiting? Yang Yichao asked them in what he thought was a very gentle tone. But he didn't know that he and the others, all of them were sturdy, with a face full of meat, the most gentle, and terrifying.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was an unprecedented phenomenon in Liaodong history, that is, killing good and risking merit, that is, cutting off the heads of those Liaodong Han people who were forced to shave their heads and pretending to be Jiannu, and it became a trend, because a real captive head was worth fifty taels of silver. So Yang Yichao, who was mistaken by them for an official soldier, can he not tremble with fear?

Yes, the official army, the official army is not only not their savior, but the urging Yama, and what the Liao people are most afraid of seeing is the official army, especially the Guanning army. The Guanning army can't fight, and they flee when they see Jiannu, but they are definitely the first in the Ming Dynasty.

Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang soldiers are a little better, but they are also very good, almost a raccoon dog. In the face of great interests, the conscience of man is fed to the dog.

Yang Yichao and others carried the black pot for others, and he saw the frightened looks of these Liao people one by one, thinking that they couldn't understand the official dialect with a southern accent, so he comforted them and said: "Don't be afraid, we are Han people, not Jiannu, and we will not hurt you." Can you tell me where you come from? ”

These Liaodong fugitive slaves, afraid that it was only a subconscious reaction, when they saw these southerners, it seemed that they didn't want to kill their heads, an older person who couldn't judge their age, his voice was as small as a mosquito and replied: "I beg the general to spare my life, I am the Liao people of Gaizhou, because I really can't live, I have to flee from Gaizhou and find a way to live." ”

He has almost no qi, so his voice is very weak, it can be said that these Liao people are almost all broken candles in the wind, and any accident will kill them.

"Don't be afraid, we don't kill good people, you can rest assured that you can live here, and you don't need to flee. We are righteous men in the south, and we have come to Liaodong except for the eastern captives, and all the Liao people, we are regarded as close relatives and brothers. Yang Yichao still spoke softly, tried his fierce murderous aura, tried to restrain it, and explained to Liao Min in front of him.

Just when Yang Yichao was questioning the Liao people, Yang Renyu had already brought Lu Chuanzong and his twenty slave soldiers to the front.

Yang Yichao hurriedly saluted him and reported: "Lord Xiaoqi, according to the inquiries of his subordinates, they are Liao people from Gaizhou, and they fled to this island because they were hungry and had no food. ”

Yang Wenli's troops attach great importance to etiquette, and there are regulations on what kind of etiquette to do under what circumstances, like at this time, because it is not to receive orders, but to report, so Yang Yichao is hands flat on both sides, close to his thighs, and bow 45 degrees in reply. This is a common courtesy, and it is also the respect of the subordinates to the superiors.

"Isn't this nonsense? The blind see it. Yang Renyu complained in his heart, so he let out an angry "um" and waved his hand, as if he heard it.
