Chapter 201: Coastal Defense (3)
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, Chen Yu really didn't know how to punish these two veteran soldiers, he asked: "Look at your identity, you should be the guards patrolling the city, it's so late, you are not patrolling the city, so what are you doing here?" ”
"Oh, we are not guarding the imperial army, but only in charge of transport. www.biquge.info The two veterans said embarrassedly: "Actually, today, Lord Zongqi got a few private salt primers, and I went to help the adults sell them, and a salt primer can be sold for about ten taels of silver, and they are all priceless!" ”
"You dare to say anything, not afraid of your Chief Banner?" Chen Yu said.
"Hey, everyone knows about this, and it's not a big deal to say it, the imperial court doesn't give military expenses, I don't have any input, just rely on the one stone of rice every month and the four or five taels of sumu and pepper, who can survive in the army?" A veteran complained: "Now that the imperial court has been in arrears to me for almost three months, if I don't find another way, will I starve to death?" ”
Chen Yu nodded, what he said was really good, the imperial court's finances are indeed very tight now, plus Emperor Zhengde has no concept of finance, and there are Liu Jin and other big corrupt officials of the Eight Tigers, so the military budget is naturally in arrears.
"Customized, three points to defend the city on the border, and seven points to plant. Is it difficult to wait, and there will be no farming? Chen Yu asked.
Hearing this, the veteran soldier suddenly became vigilant, "Who are you?" How do you know about the customization of the imperial court? ”
Qi Jingtong smiled, grabbed the collar of the talking guard, and said viciously: "You old horseman is not stupid, only now do you remember to ask who we are?" ”
"No...... Can't. The veteran hurriedly waved his hand, "Lesson farmer? We are afraid that we will starve to death a long time ago, there is no money, many people in the army are on the run, and even openly sell land at low prices, or the land is forcibly occupied by the gentry and princes, how many people can really teach farming? ”
"How many people are there in Shenjiamen Water Village now?" Chen Yu asked suddenly.
"Less than a hundred, all of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, Nong......" the old soldier pointed in, "the one with the light in front of you is the one who goes and sees." ”
Chen Yu nodded and motioned for Qi Jingtong to release the two.
After the two of them walked away, Qi Jingtong scolded and said: "Damn, I thought that the north side had a serious loss of air salaries, but compared to this Zhejiang, it is a big deal!" ”
"There are Jin merchants in the north, which are controlled by the Kaizhong Law, so it is relatively stable for the time being, but it is not a way to go on for a long time." Chen Yu fell into deep worry, "Let's go to the water village first." ”
After hearing this, Wei Wenli said embarrassedly: "My lord, I didn't control it well, so I bothered you." ”
"It's not your fault, since the system left over for thousands of years can evolve into what it is now, it means that it is the most suitable system left over from time to time!" Chen Yu said.
A few people followed the direction of the two veterans' fingers and went straight to the water village of Shenjiamen, which is to put it bluntly, it is a fence protection set up on the coast, which is equipped with some rangers and is responsible for patrolling the coast.
After getting closer, Chen Yu noticed that there were two sailors sitting on the wooden gate of Daoshui Village, one old and one young, the old one was more than sixty years old, and the young were only fourteen or fifteen years old, and they were drowsy...... Well, that's a bad word, the two of them are already asleep.
At this moment, the entire Shenjiamen military and coastal defense system is like an ornament, not to mention the invasion of external pirates, even if a few thieves go to steal things now, I am afraid that they will not know.
A few people quietly entered the water village, at this time Chen Yu found that he really thought too much, this place was as empty as if it had just been looted by the Japanese invaders, a symbolic ship was placed in the adjacent sea area, just looking at the dilapidated degree of the ship, I am afraid that it will fall apart before it goes to sea, not to mention firearms and sabers and other items. Such a dilapidated place, I'm afraid that even the thieves won't patronize it!
Wei Wenli saw that Chen Yu's face was not good, and took the initiative to plead guilty: "It's the dereliction of duty of the lower officials." ”
Chen Yu ignored Wei Wenli, and then walked straight to the side of the so-called big ship, which is a two-masted ship equipped with Shuizhai, this is the so-called warship, "Sentry in spring and summer, return to guard in autumn, patrol sea thieves." ”
Next to the warship is equipped with a smaller ship, this ship is more flexible than the two-masted ship, which is the standard equipment of the anti-Japanese "big ship is thin, and the fast ship chases it." ”
It's just that whether it is a big ship or a small boat, Chen Yu can see at a glance that these two ships do not have a little seafaring ability at all, the deck is dilapidated, and there are still a lot of leftovers in it, like a garbage dump.
Chen Yu and the others walked around, and they had completely checked all the equipment of the Shen family, and then Chen Yu shouted: "The sea thieves are coming, and the pirates are coming......
This roar woke up all the soldiers who were still asleep in their dreams, and after waking up, without saying a word, they turned around and ran.
Chen Yu's face turned red, and he said to Qi Jing: "Catch this group of rice buckets back for me!" ”
After a while, those soldiers who learned of the situation appeared in front of Chen Yu with sleepy eyes, they stood crookedly, and some people complained: "Don't let people sleep at night?" ”
"Shut up!" Wei Wenli's face turned red, and he said to a hundred households: "This is the commander of Lord Wei, you don't kneel down yet!" ”
"Lord Wei? What Lord Wei? Isn't Qianhu surnamed Lin? Stumped for a substitution? Some of them wondered.
Wei Wenli's hundreds of households were also angry and his teeth swirled, and he slapped it, and immediately blinded the person who was reading the Tao in pieces, "Governor Beiwei Zhejiang, Wei Wenli Lord Wei, how can you compare with your small thousand households?" ”
Those soldiers were really frightened by this series of names, so they knelt down one by one and said: "I have seen Lord Wei ......."
"This is the commander of the Governor of Qincha, the commander of the factory in the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, and the inspection of the imperial history of Zhejiang, Lord Chen Yu Chen!" Wei Wenli introduced.
For Chen Yu, these guards still know, I don't know who passed it on in the army, this Chen Yu is a stunned young man, a little perverted, and he can hide as much as possible when he sees him in the future.
When those guards heard that this was Chen Yu, their faces changed, and they all brushed and said, "I've seen Chen Zhuangyuan." ”
"It turns out that you still have something to be afraid of, I thought that all of them were the emperor Laozi, and the sky was not afraid of the earth!" Chen Yu said sarcastically, "Do you know that if it is a Japanese coward who comes tonight, you will all die!" ”
Chen Yu didn't say anything about national righteousness or anything like that, and if he told the people in Shaanxi, they might be able to empathize, but it didn't work to tell these people.
First of all, the state owes them a debt and the military pay is not in place, who is willing to work for you? What do people join the army for? To put it bluntly, isn't it just to fill your stomach? Now the imperial court can't do this, and it's normal for people to strike, which Chen Yu can understand.
Therefore, from the perspective of their own interests, Chen Yu naturally made them unable to refute, but some people jumped out and said: "It's now approaching November, how can there be a Japanese robber?" ”
Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of chattering outside the door of the Shen family, for this kind of sound, Chen Yu had naturally heard it when he watched the island country movie in the later generations, and his face suddenly changed, "Prepare to fight back, there is an invasion of the Japanese invaders!" ”
"It's these tricks again." Those veterans scoffed, I don't know how many times this matter has been drilled, but is there a hairy use?
None of the people present took Chen Yu's words seriously, and lazily went to the weapons room to pick up the weapon, and the sixty-year-old janitor said to the child next to him: "Don't be nervous, it's nothing, it's all a trick of the imperial court......
Before he could finish speaking, the wolf slashed him in the face, and a sultry blow suddenly appeared on his face, and the old soldier fell to the ground in response, and said no more.
This sudden change frightened the child into stupeness, and the whole person looked at the hideous wolf, who was not ambiguous, and slashed through the child's neck, and the child fell down without even knowing what was happening.
Now, those soldiers knew that this was not a drill, but a real Japanese robber, so they dispersed in a hurry, dropped their weapons and ran, the speed was staggering!
As soon as one person ran, the rest followed, and because of the confusion, many people were pushed down by their companions, but after they fell, they did not stand up, it was the ruthless sword of the Japanese cowards!
The crowd was even more panicked, and these people didn't look like soldiers at all, they all ran and roared in a disorderly manner.
At first, Chen Yu was also flustered in his heart, but after calming down, Chen Yu found that there were only four or five people back and forth, four or five people! It scared more than 100 people!
Chen Yu said to Qi Jing: "Pack up those thieves for Lao Tzu!" ”
Qi Jingtong, Liu Yu, and Shen Fei all experienced the baptism of blood and fire in the northwest, so a few wouldn't pay attention to it at all, and a few people pounced empty-handed.
At first, the Japanese didn't care, but after a few rounds, the Japanese noticed that something was wrong, and the two or three of them immediately gathered together and began to attack Qi Jingtong and Shen Fei in two groups.
Chen Yu carefully studied the formation of this widow, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes, butterfly formation? Those who can go through so many moves with Shen Fei and Qi Jing are unscathed, these should be the elites sent by the Japanese Kou!
After the three of them formed a formation, they actually blocked the attacks of Qi Jingtong and Shen Fei.
Shen Fei's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and he took out the dagger from his soap boots, and the momentum of the whole person suddenly changed, and he threw himself into the butterfly array.
The ones in their hands were all fine katanas, but after colliding with Shen Fei's dagger, they were easily cut off by Shen Fei's dagger.
Without the katana, the Mandarin Duck Formation couldn't play a role at all, and those few would-be robbers chattered for a while, and then disappeared into the night sky! (To be continued.) )
