The elite officers and soldiers of the escort team quickly assembled.

When I heard that I was going to Fukushima to fight Tartars, everyone was enthusiastic and fierce.

Tartars!

Damn the post-gold tartars!

What they want to deal with is actually the Tartars!

Speaking of which, they're really no strangers to Tartars!

Because Shandong and Liaodong face each other across the sea, Han people from Liaodong often flee to Shandong by sea. Their tragic situation and sad descriptions made the Han people in Shandong extremely angry at the atrocities of the Tartars. Those military households who have been to Liaodong, after coming back, also sent a message to their descendants: Tartar has no surname!

Kong Youde's defection to Houjin is a shame for Shandong people. Ordinary people in Shandong, when they mention Tartar, they all grit their teeth. In fact, in the coming July, the Tartar soldiers will enter the territory of Shandong, burning, killing and looting. The people of Shandong will soon taste the atrocities of the Tartars.

Mao Sanye of Maojiatun, whose name is Mao Shunjiang, also went to the front line in eastern Liaodong. On the Liaodong front, he lost an eye, a right arm, the eye was shot by the Tartar's bow and arrow, and the right arm was cut off by the Tartar's scimitar. Although he has been away from Liaodong for more than ten years, when it comes to the fierceness of Tartar, Mao Sanye still has palpitations. He really didn't expect that Zhang Zhun and the others would be able to kill Tartar. Moreover, kill several at once!

In Liaodong, it is too difficult to kill a Tartar. It was often the Ming army itself that paid the price of a dozen or even dozens of casualties, and could not kill a single Tartar. Otherwise, the heads of the Tartars would not be so noble, each worth fifty taels of silver. Without Zhang Zhun and his escort, these Tartars could have razed the entire Fushan to the ground.

Therefore, Mao Sanye immediately asked everyone to cook, and he had to give a full meal to the soldiers of the escort team no matter what. He had lost an eye, a right arm, and was definitely not going to go to war. However, this did not prevent the old man from personally encouraging the soldiers of the escort team, especially those from Maojiatun. They are the hope of the future of Maojiatun and even Fushan!

This time, Maojiatun was attacked by pirates and lost twenty or thirty people, and the villagers were both sad and angry, especially when they learned that the pirates were actually Tartars and Koreans pretending to be them, they were even more angry. Naturally, the three Koreans were completely torn apart, leaving no traces, and the tartar called Wen Buduo was also cut piece by piece, and each family was given a piece, which was regarded as a tool for suppression.

Yang Kaide, Chen Guoxi and other old people also rushed to Maojiatun to comfort Mao Shunjiang and others not to be sad. Several of them had returned from the Liaodong front and had a common language. When Liu Hang, Wang Mingyu, Hou Shanping and others learned the news, they also rushed to Maojiatun one after another to do what they could. They also brought some rice noodles and distributed them to the families of the victims.

The members of the Shengxia Sect were temporarily summoned and held a brief communication meeting. At the meeting, Zhang Zhun made the decision and allocated 200 taels of silver as the fund for the reconstruction of Maojiatun. In addition to the loss of human life, the main thing is the loss of thatched houses. Thatched houses are worthless, and they can be built for three or four taels of silver. With Zhang Zhun's money, there should be no problem in terms of funds.

Liu Hang, Wang Mingyu, and Hou Shanping all said that they would mobilize the villagers in Bentun to come to Maojiatun to volunteer for three days to help everyone build thatched houses. With enough funds and enough manpower, the reconstruction of Maojiatun is not far away. As for the psychological trauma of the victims' families, it will certainly take some time to heal. However, everyone is a military household, and their psychological tolerance for death is a little stronger than others, and they should recover quickly.

Liu Hang, on behalf of Sheng Xia Zong, announced various relevant decisions. For Zhang Zhun's strong arrangement, the villagers were grateful, and knelt down and kowtowed to thank him. Other young people in Maojiatun asked to follow the escort team and go to Fukushima to take revenge, but Zhang Zhun refused.

"Your task now is to rebuild Maojiatun."

"When Maojiatun is rebuilt, I will give you a chance."

Zhang Zhun tactfully persuaded these enthusiastic young people.

Fukushima also has Tartars on top of it, and it is very likely that non-professional combatants will cause unnecessary casualties. The battle just now showed that the Tartars were still very difficult to deal with. In fact, for the 400-person escort team, Zhang Zhun only dispatched 200 elites, just to avoid being densely killed by the Tartars' bows and arrows. To be honest, if the Tartars had been given ample opportunity to shoot arrows, the casualties of the convoy would have been high.

In order to avoid the damage of the Tartars' arrows, Zhang Zhun also temporarily prepared some cotton shields. In fact, it is on the back of the pot lid, covered with a thick cotton cloth, and after soaking, the function of defending against arrows is quite good. At the very least, the arrows of the Tartars, it is not easy to completely penetrate such a "soil shield." Even if the earthen shield is shot through, it will not be able to inflict fatal damage on the person behind the shield.

At the same time, Zhang Zhun asked someone to prepare thick cotton clothes, all of which were soaked and worn on his body. These wet cotton clothes, heavy, although they will bring a certain amount of inconvenience to the actions of the warriors, but they still have a certain effect in resisting the arrows of the Tartars. If the arrows of the Tartars are still used to aiming at the chest, the soaked cotton clothes will definitely save the lives of the soldiers.

The battle with the Tartars cannot be done without the slightest carelessness.

Strategically it is possible to despise the Tartars, and tactically the Tartars must be valued.

Seeing Zhang Zhun and the others preparing wet cotton clothes, Mao Sanye couldn't help but grunt again. He took out a pair of armor that he had kept for many years and wanted to put it on for Zhang Zhun. This armor is a standard Ming army iron armor, and in the critical position, it is all inlaid with iron plates, which is much better than the defense of ordinary cotton armor. In the Ming army, such iron armor could only be worn by officers, and ordinary soldiers could only wear rudimentary cotton armor. Mao Sanye is not an officer, and he doesn't know where he turned it out of the battlefield, and he brought it back from the front line in Liaodong.

Of course Zhang Zhun didn't want such a bulky iron armor, because the iron armor seriously hindered his flexible figure. But Mao Sanye's enthusiasm was difficult, so Zhang Zhun had no choice but to accept it and express his gratitude repeatedly. After Mao Sanye left, he gave it to Peng Bo. Peng Bo had a bitter face, so he had to take it, and then quietly stuffed it into the firewood pile in his house. This iron armor cannot be used for the time being, but it does not mean that it will not be used in the future.

In the evening, Maojiatun prepared a rich meal for the soldiers to feast on. Because everyone knows that the next move of the escort team is to go to the Tartar to clear the Tartar's lair, no one knows how risky the battle is, so they are naturally a little worried. Especially for those parents who have children who are ready to go to the island, they are even more concerned. Everyone knows that fighting a war costs people and pays a price, but who doesn't worry about their children?

"The kindness of a woman!"

"Child's view!"

"If you don't clean up the Tartars on Fukushima, they will attack Maojiatun at any time! When the time comes, more people will die in our Maojiatun! It is our honor to be able to die to destroy the Tartars! If anyone goes to the island, does not move forward actively, and does not fight bravely to kill the enemy, after he returns, I will definitely expel him from Maojiatun! Lose face! We don't have such a seed in Maojiatun! ”

Mao Sanye stood in the crowd, waving his left hand, and shouted excitedly.

Everyone was awe-struck, and they didn't dare to say anything more.

At this time, the pirate ship led by Yang Guohua also arrived, and at the same time brought Yang Zixuan's musket team. Yang Guohua did have the intention of taking refuge in Zhang Zhun, and after receiving the order, he immediately loaded the sails and hurried with Yang Zixuan. Zhang Zhun nodded, motioned for Yang Guohua, Yang Zixuan and others to sit down and prepare to eat. Yang Qianqiang took the opportunity to tell the two of them the basic situation.

Yang Guohua said: "My lord, do you want to open fire?" ”

He didn't know what to call Zhang Zhun for, it was definitely inappropriate to call him Yulin, Zhang Zhun was not familiar with him. Call him the captain, he's not a member of the escort team, he doesn't have that qualification. After thinking about it, I can only call it an adult. Anyway, it's a generic term, and it's a bit of a sycophant. In fact, Yang Guohua always felt that Zhang Zhun must be promising. No one knows better than him that in troubled times, having a knife is the truth of the grass king.

Zhang Zhun didn't care about what Yang Guohua called himself, he shook his head and said slowly: "The black light is blind, you can't see the exact location of the tartar at all, and firing the cannon doesn't have much effect." ”

Of course, Yang Guohua understands this, he is just showing loyalty.

Yang Zixuan said: "Or, let's attack during the day?" Artillery can be fired during the day. ”

Zhang Zhun still shook his head and said quietly: "No! During the day, Tartar's archery is too powerful, and if he occupies a favorable position, the price and time we pay will increase exponentially. We don't have much time and tartar to waste, we have to fight quickly. ”

Yang Zixuan has no opinion.

The main task of the escort team at the moment is to attack Fushan City. The sudden appearance of the Tartar was just an accident. If the task of attacking Fushan City is delayed because of the appearance of the Tartars, it is putting the cart before the horse. Moreover, the longer the Tartars dragged the escort, the greater the variables on Wang Shixin's side. Zhang Zhun will not give Wang Shixin any chance.

"Let's go!"

After dinner, Zhang Zhun set off with the elite of the escort team.

Because the number of sampans was not enough, it was not possible to transport two hundred people at the same time. The fighters first got on the sampan, boarded the pirate ship in batches, and then headed for Fukushima. When they arrived at the sea near Fukushima, they moved to the sampan in batches and quietly rowed towards Fukushima.

Because it was night and the beginning of the month, there was no moonlight, and there were few stars, and it was almost a dark night where you couldn't see your fingers, and the visibility was very low. However, Fukushima is so close to the coast that a sampan can be reached in an hour, so there is no difficulty in between. Soon, Fukushima was in sight.

Fukushima is actually very small, only about a few dozen acres, and there are no permanent residents on the island, except for fishermen who occasionally stop here. In the center of Fukushima is a small protruding hill, about fifty or sixty meters high. Fukushima in the middle of the night, quietly, like a monster, lying there quietly.

Under the cover of darkness, the sampan quickly came to the shore.
