How could the sailor ships sailing against the wind compare with the speed of the Chengqian, the large and small ships scattered in all directions were running around on the lake, and the scene was extremely chaotic, and the Chengqian was quickly approaching the big ship in the center.

"Peng Jian, if you don't descend at this time, when will you wait." The scorpion lifted his internal strength and shouted from the loudspeaker at the bow of the ship according to Yang Lin's request.

"Who is that man? The voice is somewhat familiar. Peng Jian, who was panicked and was about to evacuate, suddenly heard a loud shout from a distance, and Mrs. Xie, who was on the same boat, hurriedly reminded when she heard this: "Who else could it be, that god-damn scorpion, if it weren't for him, there are a few people in this world who can beat the minister." ”

Peng Jian's eyes shrank suddenly when he heard this, he still heard of the power of the scorpion in Guanzhong, the bandits of Shuangfeng Village are only afraid that they are not less than Peng Jiazhai, and their personal force is even more unattainable, he actually descended to the imperial court, it seems that it is the general trend for the imperial court to clean up the interior, Peng Jian, who wanted to flee back to the village first, suddenly decided not to escape, after the people of the imperial court arrived, the two gangs of forces did not communicate with each other and started fighting in a daze, whether the imperial court came to recruit An, or to exterminate him, or just passing by, he didn't know at all, After receiving three boatloads of silver from the Japanese people, his own men and horses and ships were all given, and they can be said to be two clear, why not listen to what the court is going to do.

"What do you think, Mrs. Xie?" Peng Jian first gave an order to his subordinates, and then asked about the head of Xie Jiazhai, who stayed on his ship inexplicably and did not leave.

"When I saw that a person like Scorpion was actually on the big ship of the imperial court, my heart was half cold, and his kind of person who hid in the mountains and was at ease was taken down by the imperial court, how many days can we last? We have all seen the combat power of the imperial court's big ships, they can have many ships if they can have one, even if we pass this pass now, when Zhang Liang's army comes, it will not be able to hold on, not only that. I'm afraid I can't help you now, have you seen the big ship of Dou Jiazhai? They approached the big ship of the imperial court, they should have wanted to take refuge in front of us, and the old man kept you on the boat, just to ask you to help him get an idea, and there is a matter that the old man has not yet come to tell you urgently, our flying fish was released by the imperial court, and we did not pursue our sins, and also used good medicinal materials to help him regulate his body. Mrs. Xie's previous words had the meaning of persuasion, especially the sentence added at the end. Vaguely stated his position, how could Peng Jian not understand, until he saw Dou Yuming boarding the big ship of the imperial court on a small boat, he hurriedly called the minions to pull the boat over.

"Grass people Dou Yuming, meet the heavenly concubine." Under the leadership of the escort who was in charge of receiving the ship, a middle-aged man dressed as a man in his thirties was picked up from the boat with the Dou flag, and Yang Lin of course warmly welcomed the forces that came to surrender, especially the first to descend, although he was disloyal in his heart. But the appearance of the surface still has to be done.

Waiver of Dou Yuming's courtesy, Yang Lin didn't ask much, let him stand aside and wait first, and knew that his side was actually defeated by an eight or nine-year-old child. Dou Yuming was really mixed in his heart, raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the huge cannon barrel on the big ship, Dou Yuming was worried at the same time, but he was even more glad that his nephew Dou Yingshan arrived in time to the Dou family water village. He was spared the disaster of having a bad relationship with the court.

After a while, the big ship of Pengjiazhai also approached, and Peng Jian, the owner of the village, personally called for a meeting. Yanglin was approved, so a small boat was put over again, and Peng Jian and Mrs. Xie were connected to the Chengqian together, and the eighteen villages were the only ones who looked at the three major villages, and Yanglin was not polite, and after they finished the ceremony, Yanglin went straight to the topic.

"The three village owners have been robbing past merchants in this Hongze Lake area all the year round, and they should live a comfortable life! I wonder how I'd feel if I robbed me today? Yang Lin half-jokingly.

"Don't dare, I have more than 10,000 jobs tied to my hands! This is a last resort, so I broke free from the control of the imperial court, and asked the master of the horse to investigate. Before Peng Jian could speak, Dou Yuming preemptively said, and he didn't look at Peng Jian when he was done, anyway, he didn't have a good face for him now.

"Really? This reason is reluctantly reasonable, in order to feed more than 10,000 mouths under your hands, so you block the road and rob, but if Your Majesty wants to feed the millions of mouths under Chang'an City, you can only rob the whole world, Zhang Liang's naval army is about to go south, such a big warship, he has three, a little smaller one has ten, equipping these dozen ships He owes more than one million yuan in arrears to the top ten factories and craftsmen in the east and west, and the money has to be filled by his robbery, I believe he will be very interested in you, this horse is just passing by, Someone has bad intentions towards my cargo ship, so I will teach me a lesson, I think what those Japanese people did should have nothing to do with the three village owners! Now that the three village owners have come to explain on the boat, there is no misunderstanding, so let's stop here! Scorpion, send-off. Yang Lin flicked his sleeves, as if he was going to turn around and go back to the warehouse, and the scorpion also consciously jumped out from the side and made a gesture of please, just such a simple action, the three village owners who commanded more than 100,000 people in the eighteen villages were scared into a cold sweat, and they knelt on the deck in a hurry.

"Master Pony, you must save the little ones! As soon as Zhang Dudu's army arrived, the hundreds of thousands of people in the eighteen villages will have no way to live, God has the virtue of a good life, and the horse master is given by God, and we must redeem our ignorant people on behalf of the sky! Mrs. Xie cried out with a crying voice, she had been wording this line in her heart for a long time, and as soon as she said it, Peng Jian and Dou Yuming also quickly nodded yes.

Yang Lin turned around with great difficulty, frowned and said: "This is difficult to do, this time the prince and I were only ordered to patrol the southern Xinjiang, and we were indeed passing through Jianghuai, if you surrender me, wouldn't Governor Zhang have to run for nothing without a fight, the cost of this army transfer is not small, someone needs to fill it, and I have to give a generous gift to dispel the anger in the heart of the governor." ”

The eyes of the three of them rolled, and Peng Jian, who had not spoken all this time, made the first decision this time, and said: "No matter how high the military expenditure of the army is, 300,000 yuan of money should not be needed!" As long as the master of the horse helps us avoid the catastrophe, we will definitely raise 300,000 yuan of money to give to Governor Zhang Dadu to appease his anger, and offer some other gifts, please accept the master with a smile. "Peng Jian is not a real person, knowing that he can't beat it, he took out 300,000 yuan of the minister to protect himself, but Yanglin's purpose is to eat the entire eighteen villages, and it doesn't matter if he hides some private money, money, Yanglin has never felt that it is a thing, as long as people are in his hands, they can create greater wealth.

"In this way, it's easier to speak, you can pay a lot of money to relieve the worries of the court, and the prince and I will not treat you badly, the old and young of the eighteen villages, the old and weak who are unwilling to move, can stay, and the court will send officials to concentrate on governance, the young and strong and good water, I want to take it away, integrate it into the military household, and set up the Huainan Water Army, only by organizing you into the army of the imperial court, I dare to ensure that Zhang Liang's water army does not come to trouble you, and at the same time, I can justifiably follow me to make a fortune." Yang Lin smiled when he heard this, and his eyes were a little kind.

"Make a fortune?"

Mrs. Xie seemed to ask very inopportunely, why did the new surrender start to be greedy for the lord's property at this time, and the faces of Peng Jian and Dou Yuming were very unnatural, the former was afraid that she would stir up this hard-won surrender, and the latter was afraid that she would disrupt her plan to blend in with the imperial army. Of course, this qiē was calculated by Yang Lin and Mrs. Xie, these bandits have always surrendered if they can't be defeated, and they will be sentenced when they find an opportunity, and the only thing that can collect their hearts is interests, to put it bluntly, they all believe in money, they can't bring them money, and if they live a good life, they won't be attached to you.

"Of course I'm going to make a fortune, hundreds of thousands of small money, I don't look down on the horse, do you know my business in Chang'an City, the transaction volume is tens of millions, the state city along the way, the city is not tens of hundreds of thousands, after going to Huaiyang and Yangzhou City to get a vote, this horse plans to go to sea, first go to Lingnan, and then go to Jiaozhi, you say, robbing other people's treasury, will it be more money than doing business?"

Yang Lin's words said that the three masters of the village were stunned, with the strong ships and cannons in the hands of the horse master, they can indeed rob everywhere, if the imperial court wants them to lead people to exterminate several other water bandits in the Tang Dynasty, maybe they are still a little unhappy, if they take them to overseas countries to rob, they will not have any psychological burden, after all, the bandits in the three mountains and five mountains are reckless.

After thanking them again, Yanglin assigned them a task, eighteen villages to transfer 20,000 young and strong, literate and clever priority, the formation of Huainan Naval Army, based on the current big ship, in Hongze Lake reorganization training, only wait for the will of the imperial court, there will be a new task assigned to them, the original inhabitants of the eighteen villages began to register, divided into Huaiyang, Huaiyin, and the newly established Hongze three counties governance, the yamen and officials of the council will have the Huaiyang Prefecture to build the next faction, Eighteen Zhai except for the Huainan Naval Army, no armed forces are allowed, Otherwise, it will be regarded as a rebellion of personal behavior, and as for the officials of the Huainan Water Army, they will be temporarily served by the owners of each village, and those who cannot restrain their subordinates and people will be dismissed.

In fact, Yanglin has received Zhang Liang's letter, he can arrive in Huaiyang in three days, and the surrender ceremony will be held at Huaiyang Wharf, this Huainan naval army will be under Zhang Liang's command, and among the 20,000 horses, some of them will be dispersed by him, and the imperial court's naval army will be enriched to Yanglin's fleet with him, and he will go down to Yangzhou with him, and then go to sea to Lingnan.

These works were carried out in an orderly manner under Chu Suiliang's arrangement, and the Huaiyang Prefecture was originally stationed with an army of 5,000 people, which was to prevent the rebellion of the water bandits in the Hongze Lake area, and the imperial court's fleet took the eighteen water bandits.
