Chapter 514: Song Jiang visits the water village
Song Jiang raised the question of the officers and soldiers, and couldn't help but attract everyone's attention, Song Jiang continued: "And you don't know, now we have 3,000 brothers on the island, but the grain storage is indeed only enough for two months, and now dozens of brothers are rushing over every day, I am afraid that it will not be long before everyone has no food to eat." ”
Everyone is particularly concerned about the issue related to their own jobs, seeing Song Jiang talking about this, everyone fell into deep thought, Li Kui didn't have that brain, as soon as he heard that there was nothing to eat, he immediately shouted: "Then we won't allow people to go up the mountain, and then go down the mountain to grab it." ”
Song Jiang shook his head and said: "What kind of stupid words, the people who go up the mountain are the people who are forced by the government to live and can't survive, how can you bear to drive them away, so we have to go down the mountain to rob after all, but we need to have a guy to take advantage of the robbery, this is also the reason why I am looking for a craftsman." ”
Song Jiang said excitedly: "Have you heard that the Ryukyu army is almost all in the big and small cities in the south of the Yangtze River, and Yangzhou City relies on 50,000 lone troops against the 400,000 horses of the imperial court for two months?" ”
Everyone looked at Song Jiang with curiosity, and Song Jiang nodded and said, "Yes!" It's the kind of machine that can throw fire oil bombs, and if we have that kind of thing, who will we be afraid of if we rob it in the future? ”
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and Lei Heng said: "Brother Song Jiang is right, if we have this, then we can enter Yuncheng County and kill Shi Wenbin and Zhang Wenyuan, the two bastards!" ”
Song Jiang said with satisfaction: "That's why I want our craftsmen to try to make this kind of weapon, but unfortunately I heard that our good craftsmen are all building ships in the water village." ”
Li Kui immediately picked up the plate axe and said: "Brother, don't be in a hurry, watch my iron ox go and catch a few of that bird craftsman for you, if they dare not let go, I will split their bird water village." ”
Song Jiang immediately grabbed Li Kui and said: "Tie Niu Hugh is rude, everyone is a brother, who are you splitting?" Sit down. ”
Du Qian and Song Wan looked at each other, and Song Wan said, "It's not impossible to say it. ”
Song Jiang asked as soon as he heard this, "What way?" Brother Song Wan, hurry up. ”
Song Wan said: "The craftsmen in the cottage are all robbed, and if we can't find good craftsmen, let's just grab some more." ”
Song Jiang listened to it, and felt that it was also a way that was not a way, but if there was another way, Song Jiang would not be willing to do this, Du Qian said: "I think Brother Tong Meng and Zhang Heng are very easy to talk to, if we tell them well, they may agree to do this with us." ”
Song Jiang listened to it, and also pondered, if he could pull Zhang Heng and Tong Meng into his team, it would be the best, Liangshan is surrounded by water, and controlling the boats on the water is not equivalent to controlling Liangshan?
Song Jiang nodded and said: "Brother Du Qian is right, I will go to Shuizhai tomorrow to have a look, and Zhang Heng and Brother Tong Meng will talk about this matter, see what they say, we are discussing, don't talk about this first, let's drink." ”
Song Jiang went to the water village early the next morning, at this time the sky was just slightly bright, the sun had not come out, Song Jiang walked to the water village while walking, originally thought that he had come early, but he didn't expect to start training in the local water village.
Song Jiang came to the gate of the wall, and was about to step inside, when the two minions at the door put their weapons in one gear and asked, "Stop!" What for? ”
Song Jiang was stunned for a moment, smiled slightly, pointed at himself and said, "It's me, Song Jiang, why don't the two brothers know me?" ”
Song Jiang originally thought that the two minions would immediately nod and let themselves in, but who knew that the two minions said: "Hello Leader Song, you wait here, I will go and notify our leader to come and pick you up." ”
Song Jiang was blocked out of the camp, feeling embarrassed, but he was angry and didn't spread it, after all, he came to ask for help, not long after, Zhang Heng and Tong Meng came together, shouting: "Oh, it's Brother Song Jiang who is here, why is my brother free to come to our water village today?" ”
Song Jiang said with a smile: "I heard that the two brothers ran this water village so they came here to learn and learn, but I didn't expect the two brothers to manage the army seriously, quite the style of Zhou Yafu's fine willow battalion." ”
Zhang Heng and Tong Meng are both big bosses, and the two of them really don't know what Yafu Xiliu Camp is this week, so Tong Meng asked curiously: "Who is Zhou Yafu?" What kind of camp is the Willow Camp? ”
Song Jiang said: "Zhou Yafu is a general of the Han Dynasty, who once assessed the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and the Xiliu Battalion is the army trained by Zhou Yafu....... ”
Song Jiang felt wrong when he said it, this compared people to Zhou Yafu, and he was blocked out of the door, didn't he compare himself to the emperor, and then he didn't mention it anymore.
Zhang Heng and Tong Meng didn't react, and while praising Song Jiang for reading a lot, they led Song Jiang to the water village. When you enter the water village, the first thing you see is the orderly barracks.
Song Jiang saw the branches of the barracks one by one into small courtyards and asked strangely: "This camp is so special, why do you want to build it like this?" ”
Zhang Heng smiled and said: "Oh, this is to prevent a sneak attack, you see that this courtyard is inhabited by brothers on the same boat, familiar with each other, out of the same out, in the same in, outsiders can not get in, the siege of the courtyard is conducive to defense, the middle interval is to prevent the enemy from attacking." ”
Song Jiang was surprised: "Oh, the two brothers are talented, this method is very wonderful, tomorrow I will tell King Chao Tian, let the cottage on the mountain be covered with this, and everyone will live in it safe." ”
The two didn't speak or just led Song Jiang to the Chinese army camp, Song Jiang saw the soldiers on the dock jumping around on two boats and asked, "Two brothers, what are they practicing?" ”
Zhang Heng glanced at it and said, "Oh, they're training the jumping gang." This water battle is different from land warfare, where two ships meet and jump onto the other ship, and only those who kill all the people on the other ship are considered victorious. So this gang jumping is essential. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Heng pointed to the distance and said, "Brother Song, look, there is a rope climbing net over there, and a single rope is climbing over there, all of which are practicing jumping." ”
Song Jiang nodded and asked, "Oh, what are those training over there, I think they seem to be climbing ladders, why are they still climbing in circles?" Still climbing from the back of a ladder? ”
Zhang Heng looked at it and said: "They are practicing siege, and when they are attacking the city, they have to dodge the bow and arrows at the head of the city, as well as stones and bricks, and they are hit when they climb back and forth." ”
Song Jiang nodded and sighed: "The two brothers are really not ordinary, this method of training the army is really powerful, but why does this naval army still practice siege, don't we have other brothers in charge of attacking the city?" Isn't it too hard for the brothers to do this? ”
Tong Meng laughed and said: "Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime, bleed more in peacetime, and shed less tears after war." ”
