Chapter 163: Dew is like a pearl and the moon is like a bow
Thousands of miles away, the smoke is vast.
The northern tip of Yizhou Island.
The warships drifted slowly with the waves in the clear light of the moonlight, and the black waves lapped against the hull of the ship, and then shattered into white foam.
A bright moon slowly rises in the east of the sea, infinite clear light, infinite light. I'm afraid that such a scene can only be seen between this cape and the end of the world. Li Si muttered silently in his heart, and stood with his hands in his hands.
Several guards behind him didn't dare to disturb, just stood far away. Since landing on Yizhou Island, the climate is hotter than that of Jiangnan, and the natives on the island actually do not have much combat effectiveness, and the weapons and blades in their hands are even more backward, so the soldiers have all taken off their light armor, and they are all dressed in short-sleeved cloth shirts, with knives around their waists, and trouser legs pulled up to their knees, revealing their tanned sturdy calves.
A soldier wearing a hat or even more like a fisherman hurried over from a distance, and I am afraid that only between this vigorous step can I guess that a few months ago this was still a soldier of the two Huaishui who were smiling proudly in the river.
It's just that the two Huaishui divisions have been disbanded and divided, and now only the one led by Xia Song is stationed in Yangzhou Mansion, which is far from being as prosperous as it was back then. However, it is also on the basis of the two Huai Water Divisions that the two emerging water divisions, Zhenjiang Prefecture Water Division and Xingzhou Water Division, are leading the next step of growth under the guidance of the water division generals that Ye Yingwu has painstakingly recruited.
"Commander Bai, who is heading south, has sent someone to send news that the southern natives are interested in negotiating peace with us." Although it took a long time to come here, this soldier only gasped slightly, after being stationed here for so long, these soldiers have gradually adapted to the climate and environment of Yizhou Island.
Li Si was appointed by Ye Yingwu as the commander of the Yizhou garrison, and Zhang Gui and Bai Nutao were the commanders of the left and right wings of the Yizhou garrison respectively. Only then did it come up with the titles of "control" and "command".
It's just that this appointment has never been recognized by the Song Dynasty's court, after all, Yizhou has not been the territory of the Song Dynasty before, and Li Si has no intention of being an official for the Song Dynasty. Wang Da, who has always been loyal to the Southern Song Dynasty, pondered for a long time. Without saying anything, he accepted this official position that was completely fictitious by Ye Yingwu.
This also means that the garrison on Yizhou Island has actually broken away from the control of the Southern Song Dynasty and has become a private soldier under Ye Yingwu's account, and it is also the third force in addition to the Tianwu Army and the Zhen Navy. And it is also an unknown private soldier.
"Peace?" Li Si frowned slightly, and sighed softly, "These guys, after all, can't hold on, after all, there is no surprise beyond a certain one." Only this time the peace was negotiated. I'm afraid they won't have a chance to turn around. ”
The natives on Yizhou Island did not have any ill will towards these people who came from the sea at first, after all, there were many fleets of the Southern Song Dynasty coming and going, and there were often ships docking on Yizhou Island, and the natives on Yizhou Island had some trade, and the aborigines of Yizhou Island were still very welcome to these guests who came with precious items.
But these people who came on warships that were many times larger than those before them, not only intended to trade with them, but also to occupy the land where their ancestors had lived for generations, so these natives began to resist fiercely.
And Li Si did not show mercy to his subordinates and convince people with virtue, Bai Nutao and Zhang Gui each led a troop to the south. Along the way, the gods were killed, the Buddhas were killed, and the entire coastal aborigines were slaughtered, and the villages were directly burned to the ground. After all, in the eyes of these Haikou and Song soldiers, in the huge village, they are just a few unsightly shacks, and there is nothing to cherish.
Under the pressure of the bloody massacre, some tribes chose to submit, but these were a minority, and many more moved to the south and center, where there were towering mountains. There are dense jungles where they can hide and wander around in a relaxed manner.
It's just that Li Si doesn't seem to be interested in the natives in the central mountainous area, and after Zhang Gui and Zhang Gui returned from Jiangnan, Li Si went ashore on the north side of the island. And Zhang Gui kept leading a fleet directly to the south, and Bai Nutao, who had been approaching south along the western coast, also sped up, and the two teams on land and sea took care of each other, and never gave the natives who wanted to sneak attack and counterattack a chance. And now, it's almost to the southernmost point.
Tens of thousands of natives were suppressed by Bai Nutao's troops, and in fact, Bai Nutao's men were not even enough for a thousand. But with the sophisticated bow and crossbow firearms in hand, these hundreds of people are enough, at least one salvo of the divine arm crossbow can make the natives who have finally gathered collapse and flee all over the mountains.
What's more, further south of these natives, huge warships are emerging on the vast sea, ready to pour out their anger on the shore.
For such a predicament, the southern natives did not have the determination and perseverance to continue to resist, not to mention that these conquerors did not regard them as enemies who had to be wiped out, as long as they dared to resist, they were slaughtered, but those who chose to surrender were treated well.
The main battle faction among the natives was quickly suppressed, and the main peace faction gained the upper hand, and even occupied absolute control over tens of thousands of people.
Looking at the long letter jointly signed by Bai Nutao and Zhang Gui, Li Si could only shake his head helplessly, these natives can really toss, with their uncivilized people's wisdom, they can still distinguish the main battle faction and the main peace faction so clearly, it is really ridiculous. Sure enough, as long as there are people, there will inevitably be contradictions, and when some people stand up and say their views, there will inevitably be people who oppose them.
"If you want to talk, let's talk about it." Lee sighed.
Wang Da, who also received the letter, frowned and strode over: "Commandery, the letter says that the natives in the south want to make peace with us, what do you think of the dominance?" Is this a surrender or a sincere desire to surrender? What should we do to them if they surrender? ”
was almost stunned on the spot by Wang Da's barrage of questions, and after a while, Li Si shook his head and smiled: "Don't be so anxious, do you really want to surrender, this is not something that can be seen, Zhang and Bai are both commanders and envoys, and they can be regarded as having experienced large and small battle formations, and they still have the ability to judge the battle, let them decide for themselves." ”
"Decide for yourself?" This time it was Wang Da's turn to be surprised.
Li Si casually put away the letter, walked towards the camp not far away, and looked back at Wang Da over and over again: "Marquis Yu, don't be so surprised. We are now at the northernmost point of the island. The two of them are at the southernmost tip of the island, and the intermediary communication even requires ships from the sea, and even if you and I have the ability to reach the sky, it is really difficult to detect. Just let the two of them deal with it themselves. ”
"But, command, isn't this a bit too decentralized, after all, the two armies over there together are most of our forces, if you are not careful. If something happens, you really can't hold this side of the land. Wang Da still looked at Li Si worriedly, and kept up with him tightly.
Li Si stopped, and after a moment of silence, he immediately said with a smile: "There is no need to worry about manpower, so that the six gates of the state capitals in the south of the Junjiang River will be withdrawn to Yizhou Island in turn this time, there are two hundred people, and most of them are the elite of the Tianwu army, even if they lose in the south, they can maintain stability in the north." How about the south, you and I better not interfere. ”
The confusion in Wang Da's heart seemed to be somewhat relieved. Look up at the starry sky.
And Li Si didn't care about him, and said as if talking to himself: "It is impossible for Jun and a certain person to support this piece of sky alone after all, these pillars of the future, if they don't let go of the experience now, what chance will they have to experience." I can only pray that they don't let him down too much. ”
It's just that Li Si's words immediately turned: "The moon is born on the sea, and the end of the world is at this time." Is Wang Yuhou interested in drinking two cups with a certain pair, don't live up to this beautiful scenery. ”
Wang Da, who was thoughtful, smiled: "Naturally, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
――――――――――――――――――
On the river, the lights of several warships slowly heading west flickered.
The soldiers, who were drunk with good wine and meat, and who had eaten to death, finally fell asleep slowly. The entire fleet reminisced about the snoring that came and went. However, although Jiang Tie did a lot of voyeurism and bragging, he finally didn't forget this stubble, Ye Yingwu's building boat slowly retreated a few positions, and there were two warships guarding the palace to follow up to protect it. Finally, the Ye family members on the boat can avoid the disturbance of snoring.
The people on these three ships did not drink, and they were all in good spirits and did not dare to relax.
"What about people?" Yang Xu looked at the place where Ye Yingwu was still just now in some surprise, and now it was empty. Just now, Ye Yingwu and Wang Qinghui were still relying on the wind, and the talented and beautiful woman had an unforgettable and beautiful picture, but now only Jiang Tao was left patting the railing.
"Who are you looking for?" A familiar voice came from behind Yang Xu, with a hint of playfulness. The entire building is qualified to speak to Yang Xu like this. Who else could there be besides Ye Yingwu.
Yang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, but found that this figure was already close at hand, Ye Yingwu's black eyes flashed with brilliance, and his lips were less than two inches away from his cheeks, almost pasted.
Yang Xu subconsciously wanted to scream, but Ye Yingwu calmly went straight up and kissed her own open lips, and the last scream was also blocked inside, and it still didn't come out after all. However, even if it was issued, as soon as it was a female voice, it was estimated that the soldiers on guard in the distance would pretend not to hear it.
After a while, Yang Xu gasped and wanted to push Ye Yingwu away, the placket of the struggle just now was already messy, and the green scarf that bound the hair was suddenly untied under the river breeze, and the black and bright hair poured down like a waterfall.
"Ahh Yang Xu exclaimed softly, eating a trench and growing wise, this time he really didn't dare to scream. Ye Yingwu's eyes were quick, and he quickly stretched out his hand at the moment when the green scarf was flying, finally grabbed a corner, and looked at the person close to him with a wicked smile.
"Give it back to me." Although it was difficult for Yang Su to stretch out his hand to pull up his black hair, he still met Ye Yingwu's gaze reluctantly.
Ye Yingwu turned a deaf ear, and directly took the green scarf back and stuffed it into his arms: "If you want to take it, reach out and take it yourself." ”
Yang Su stretched out her hand, but she was not ashamed or impatient enough to go to Ye Yingwu's arms to dig it, but gently sorted out the green silk in her ears, but the thick ambiguous affection in Ye Yingwu's eyes made her bow her head very shyly, if she stretched her hand to Yang Xu's cheek at this time, she would find that it was already hot like fire.
With his hands twisted together, Yang Xu said softly: "What, your little lady Lu and little lady Wang, don't go to accompany them, but come to find their subordinates." ”
Holding Yang Su in his arms, Ye Yingwu laughed: "What subordinates are not subordinates, shouldn't they call themselves concubines." If it's wrong again. A certain family law is served. ”
And in Ye Yingwu's heart, he secretly sighed, it was not that he didn't want to look for them, Lu Wanyan had personally ordered them by his mother. has not officially married, how can you go to the round house first. So standing at the door of Lu Wanyan was not her personal maidservant, but two servants of the Ye family, with an expression that even if you were the second member of our family, they couldn't enter.
As for Wang Qinghui's door, Qing'er crossed her waist and guarded her little lady like a yaksha. As a result, Ye Yingwu was very annoyed, how could he easily let go of this person just now. It's just that it's not time to be annoyed yet, and Yang Xu, who has never known where to run and sulk, has sent it to the door by himself.
When it was sent to the door, there was naturally no statement to spare you.
The smile on Ye Yingwu's face was even stronger: "The dew is like a pearl and the moon is like a bow, don't let the good day become a waste, such a beautiful scenery today, together?" ”
Yang Xu just lowered his head and didn't speak.
"Just by default!" Ye Yingwu's patience has been exhausted, and the meat on his mouth has been hungry for too long, so it's better to eat it first to satisfy his hunger.
What's more, this kind of thing, my own mother is not also supported by both hands, in order to fulfill her filial piety. Naturally, we must redouble our efforts, work harder, and ?????? Well, Ye Yingwu was also moved by his own brazenness and various endless reasons.
Yang Xu wanted to say something, but Ye Yingwu had already hugged her by the waist, the green silk was swaying, the starry eyes were slightly closed, and she was as delicate as a flower.
In addition to the two rooms of the ship's commander and Yu Hou, which have been given to Chen and Ye Jie, there are also four cabins that are only slightly smaller, after all, this building ship is designed as the flagship of the two Huai sailors. Originally, it was considered that there would be a lot of officials and generals on the ship to watch the battle, so in addition to the larger hull, there were also many cabins on the ship.
The four cabins are divided into two sides of the corridor, with Lu Wanyan and Wang Qinghui on one side. On the other side are Ye Yingwu and Yang Xu.
Seeing Ye Yingwu coming with Yang Xu in his arms, the two Ye family slaves and maids naturally bowed respectfully and slowly retreated. And Qing'er, who had been guarding there like a door god, was already a little drowsy, but at this time she was awakened by Ye Yingwu's movements, staring at this pair of dog men and women who were not ashamed or irritable, and disappeared behind the door with a red face after a while.
Ye Yingwu rolled his eyes. There will be more of this in the future, so why bother, anyway, sooner or later, one day you will get used to it??????
"Put me down." Yang Xu looked at the two Ye family servants who left from his side, and also heard Qing'er's voice when she closed the door, and couldn't help but be even more shy.
Ye Yingwu laughed and kicked the door open: "I like to hold it, and I want to hold it for a lifetime, it's still too short!" It's better to hurry up and practice well. ”
"Die to you!" Yang Xu couldn't help but sneer, but at this time, she basically became a lamb to the slaughter, and she had no ability to resist in front of Ye Yingwu.
Ye Yingwu threw her on the bed, breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to untie her clothes.
"Wait!" Yang Xu hurriedly shouted.
Frightened by this sudden attack, Ye Yingwu's face was also a little cautious, and he looked at Yang Xu: "What, you don't want to?" Regretted it? ”
"It's not!" Yang Xu hurriedly argued, and immediately found that he seemed to have fallen into Ye Yingwu's trap, pulled over the futon to cover his face, pointed to the candle and said, "Extinguish?????? Extinguish! ”
Ye Yingwu was stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Damn, I almost scared Lao Tzu to death, just for this little.
Just after Ye Yingwu blew out the candle flame impatiently, Yang Xu got up in a hurry: "Jinpa, where is Jinpa?" ”
Jinpa? Ye Yingwu was stunned, he couldn't help it, the tiger roared and pounced, and the two of them rolled over the bed like a gourd for a long time, Ye Yingwu just gasped and tore Yang Su's clothes, and said with red eyes:
"What Jinpa is not Jinpa, your sister Qin was useless at that time! Your husband can't help it, let's hurry up and get down to business. ”
Yang Xu wanted to push Ye Yingwu away, but Ye Yingwu seemed to have made up his mind in turn, and the veteran of the flower bush naturally had a crushing advantage over Shang Chuding.
A plain hand stretched out and slowly lowered the tent.
After a moment of silence, there was a sudden exclamation.
Immediately after that, the whole room was filled with the sound of glamour.
The cold moonlight, through the thin curtain, in addition to the sound of the rolling waves in the half-hidden windows, there is also the wind blowing in the gentle river upstream, and the tent is fluttering. It's just that for the two people who are inextricably linked in the room, the thunder and the earth fire are naturally extremely enjoyable.
The people in the opposite room were uncomfortable.
After all, it was a bit louder, and the bulkhead was thin.
(As a minor, I've written so far, other self-made YY dear, I've tried my best?????? (To be continued.) )
