Chapter 104: First Exploration of the Eup
When the 3,000-stone ship leaned on the solid shore, Yingxu was very sure that the thorn tree was Quanzhou in the previous life, looking at the naturally formed sea ship harbor, Yingxu suddenly fell in love with the thorn tree, which will definitely become the starting point for the Qin State to explore the sea, and it will also become the distribution center of maritime trade.

Walking slowly to the coast, Yingxu found that the west side of the thorn tree was the gently flowing Jinjiang River, and the north side was undulating mountains, hills, river valleys, and hills scattered in the basin. Standing at the top of Daping Mountain, Yingxu can clearly see that the south of Jinjiang is a very large plain. But at the moment, it is overgrown with trees, and there are only a few dozen sparse villages. There is also a plain area in the northwest of Daping Mountain and east of Jinjiang River. But it is almost all jungle, except for a simple stockade by the river.
"Let's go and see in the stockade! The other soldiers should not disembark for the time being."
So Ying Xu took Heihan, Zhang Hu and others down Daping Mountain to the Yueren Village, and the carp followed behind the others with a pale face. A small amount of farmland has been cultivated around the stockade, most of which has been flooded with weeds. The stockade was surrounded by miscellaneous wood, some of which had sprouts and looked dilapidated. There was no one on the wall, and when Yingxu and the others walked through the gate, they heard shouts coming from inside.
"Wait a minute!"
Ying Xu stood at the gate of the village and looked at most of the people inside were old and young women, thinking that it was not good to enter without telling him, these people would become his own people in the future, and it would be better to treat each other with courtesy, first and then soldiers. After a long while, Ying Xu saw dozens of teenagers walking out with five or six old men in their arms. The old man at the head left the others behind him with a solemn face, and walked over alone.
The old man walked steadily. Yingxu waited for the old man to walk out of the gate before he said.
"The elder doesn't know what to call it, but I, the son of Qin State, Yingxu, is polite"
"You are here after all, Shuminjiang, and I have seen all the Qin generals." After the old man looked at Yingxu and a group of others, he bent down and saluted.
Yes, the words are correct and round, and he is an insightful old man of the Yue people, it seems that he has a lot of resentment against the Qin people, Ying Xu knows that his current identity is an out-and-out invader, and he will not be as knowledgeable as the old man. Just as he was about to say more, a person suddenly appeared behind him, and he looked at it to see if it wasn't a carp.
"Dad, I'm a carp, I'm back, Childe is a very good person and our great benefactor. He's here to help us! The carp knelt in front of the old man and shouted in a choked voice.
Okay, it's really interesting, I didn't expect to find a random village that turned out to be the village of the carp family. The old man was startled when he saw the carp, and then kicked the carp in the chest and scolded, Yingxu didn't understand, but his expression seemed to be scolding.
"Let's go inside!"
Ying Xu will not care about the stubborn old man, the first to walk into the carp family's village, the people who came with the old man are obviously in the circle, Ying Xu crossed these people and saw that the village is actually very small, no more than a mile long, dozens of zhang wide, some thatched houses are distributed in a rectangle, at this time some curious children and women poked their heads out to observe Ying Xu and others, after visiting the village, Ying Xu returned to the gate of the village, during this time the son seemed to convince his father. The old man saw Yingxu come out, hurriedly bowed, knelt down and said:
"Son's great kindness, it is difficult for the little old man to repay him for being a cow and horse in this life!"
"You don't have to repay Ben Gongzi, the men in your village are all captives of Ben Gongzi, Ben Gongzi will not kill them, but he will not let them go easily. You have to know this in your heart. "Yingxu is not a bodhisattva, and he will not be able to purify sentient beings.
"The little old man is clear, the little old man is clear."
Some people sell their men for glory because they will destroy their humanity; Some people will try their courage and compromise for the sake of the community. The former is spurned, the latter praised. The old man is the latter kind of person, this Ying Xu made up his mind from the first sight of the old man, and then Ying Xu was invited by the old man to the so-called clan house. Through the form of one question and one answer, Ying Xu learned that since the Wuzhu royal brother was completely annihilated, the thorn Tong was actually taken over by the son of the Wuzhu royal brother. This guy is even worse than his Lao Tzu, and even let all the adult men of the Yue people go to his palace to serve in the military, even if it is not, he also requires every Yue family to provide no less than ten stones of food to the palace before February, and if he does not come, he will slaughter his entire family, old and young.
There is really a father and a son, this guy is really ruthless, but it is not a bad way, he wants to make a desperate bet, but how strong can these people who are temporarily put together. And how many people can be evenly handled, according to the old man Jiang's estimate, it will not exceed 10,000 people, and Yingxu is fully confident that he will wipe out all these 10,000 people.
The palace of the king's brother is west of Jinjiang, and according to Yingxu's estimate, it should be in the Zhangzhou area in the previous life. In order to avoid a long night and many dreams, Yingxu decided to set sail overnight and arrive in the Zhangzhou area tomorrow morning, waiting for the opportunity to move. When saying goodbye to the carp village, Ying Xu originally planned to let the carp stay and take care of the village, but the carp insisted on following Ying Xu to make war exploits, and Ying Xu reluctantly brought the carp with him. The speed of the ship was very fast, and it took the sea breeze to reach its destination overnight.
This time, Yingxu led the largest number of soldiers, including 500 people from Zhang Hu's department, 2,500 people from Cheng Jie's department, 500 people from the Yu department, 500 people from the Yu department, and more than 3,000 slaves were captured, totaling nearly 8,000 people. When Yingxu set out from the city of no kings, he borrowed the name of clearing bandits and ensuring the sea grain routes. Therefore, Zhao Zhao and the new supervisor Dong Fei were very supportive, because the tens of thousands of troops in the city of Wuzhu Wang relied on sea grain, and if there was a problem with sea grain, who could not afford the responsibility of running out of food for the army.
After arriving at the destination, Ying Xu first sent a carp who was familiar with the terrain to take the captives of the carp village to investigate the enemy's situation, and then the army quietly found a deep-water harbor to land. The son of the younger brother of the king of Wuzhu obviously did not know the news of the fall of the Minyue royal city, otherwise there would not even be scouts on the coastline. Such a pig-like enemy is rare in the world, and Yingxu will inevitably accept it, so the army silently touched the plain where the palace was located before rectifying the queue.
There may not be a son with his father, climbing up the hill and looking at the relaxed vigilance around the palace, Ying Xu can conclude that this pig enemy is definitely not comparable to his father, if his father is not careless, he will never collide with Ying Xu head-on, and he will not let Ying Xu easily end up with him. Not to mention that Yingxu will not be allowed to capture nearly 10,000 Yue people. But there are no ifs on the battlefield, the father of the pig enemy is dead, and it seems that the pig enemy will not escape the doom today.
After observing the situation around the palace, Yingxu decided to adopt the tactic of encircling three without one, and at the same time set up an ambush. After all the ministries were in place, Yingxu issued a total order.
The pig enemy can be said to be vulnerable, Zhang Hu and the others have not yet rushed to the palace, the Yue people on the wall began to flee, and almost no one was ready to fight with weapons. There is nothing to dwell on about one-sided wars. Ying Xu easily entered the palace.
The palace is not big, it can be said that it is a dirt village, under the escort of the black man, Ying Xu entered the public hall of the Tuzhai Palace, relatively speaking, the public hall was built more luxuriously, mainly wooden structure, the smell inside is also very good, it seems that good wood is used.
"Childe," Zhang Hu, who was the first to attack the palace, called out to Ying Xu with an ugly face.
"What's wrong?" Ying Xu didn't know what made Zhang Hu difficult to hide.
"Childe, I'll go and see!" Zhang Hu took Yingxu to a remote courtyard in the back house of the palace with a bitter face.
