Chapter 9 Little Bamboo Island
There was not even a ghost shadow at the gate of the camp, and Chu Fan believed that if someone wanted to sneak attack, they could swagger directly inside.
Entering the camp gate, a potholed dirt road leads to the school yard, and on both sides of the road are rows of crooked wooden houses, which look like they have been built with shipbuilding scraps, strange shapes and everything, and rags and straw are stuffed in the gaps.
There are a lot of colorful clothes drying in front of and behind the house, even the woman's big red belly pocket; Many houses are hung with fishing nets, and there are dustpans of dried fish, and the air is filled with a strong fishy smell; The most disgusting thing is the large and small commode that flashes on the side of the road from time to time, even if it is speeding by, the pungent smell is still disgusting.
I saw a few weapons, and the three-foot-long Ge Gao stood up, but there were a few clotheslines tied to it, and the iron Ge head had long been so rusty that it was impossible to see the appearance; There was a strange-shaped "dustpan" resting on the stone wall of a family, Chu Fan looked at it carefully for a long time, only to find that it was a big shield, but it was used as a dustpan, and the leather sleeve hands submerged in the large and small dried fish were hairy.
This is the military camp of the Ming Dynasty?
Until he got off the horse, Chu Fan couldn't believe his eyes, this dirty and dilapidated place in front of him was clearly a refugee camp!
I remember that when I was shopping on the military forum in my previous life, I often saw the history books describing the army of the Ming Dynasty like this, how many tens of thousands of people in a certain battalion, and encountered hundreds of Tartars, "big rout", Chu Fan was still a little puzzled at that time, but he was holding a knife and gun in his hand, not a blowing stick, why were tens of thousands of people chased away by hundreds of people?
Now that he has seen the real military camp of the Ming Dynasty, Chu Fan understands - such a refugee camp-like military camp can train elite soldiers? Joke! It's strange if it's not a "big rout"!
He complained in his heart, but his eyes kept following Liu Zhiyang, only to see him come to one of the houses, kick open the hidden door and shout, "Black dog, get up!" Damn, I'm still sleepy in the daytime! ”
After a while, a jujube pit head poked out of the room, looking around while getting dressed, and when he saw Liu Zhiyang, his face was full of smiles, "It turned out to be Boss Liu, I still wonder, who dares to kick my door so fat." ”
Looking at it like this, Liu Zhiyang's way of driving the army is to mingle with them, no up or down. At this moment, Liu Zhiyang didn't have time to grind his teeth, frowned and said, "Less nonsense...... Hurry up, call all the brethren, and let us go to sea! ”
"Okay!" The black dog didn't ask where to go, got dressed and answered, and went out to call someone.
Liu Zhiyang took Chu Fan and Ge Bi to the dock.
The three of them walked to the edge of the dock to a Cangshan iron, even if Chu Fan was anxious, he had to wait patiently, chatting with Liu Zhiyang without a word, and soon he figured it out: Liu Zhiyang, the garrison, is mainly responsible for patrolling the coast and arresting enemies and traitors, so most of the warships equipped are small boats such as eagle boats and net shuttle boats; This Cangshan Iron is the largest ship in Liu Zhiyang's hands, and it is rarely used in ordinary times; The black dog's surname is Gao, and he is the deputy president, who is the helm of this Cangshan Tie.
After waiting by the side of the boat for half an hour, Gao Heigou finally came over with the disheveled soldiers of the thirty or forty, and after saluting Liu Zhiyang, he boarded the ship in a chaotic manner and hoisted the sails out to sea.
Through the long waterway, Cangshan Iron came to the sea, and the southeast wind was blowing on the sea, which was quite urgent, and the waves were full of one person high.
Cangshan Iron is a brig, on the bow of the ship raised high, Chu Fan stood on the deck holding on to the guardrail, listening to the shouts of the high black dog "raising the main sail" and "raising the auxiliary sail", and his heart couldn't help but feel worried.
Until now, his plan was smooth, and Liu Zhiyang lived up to his expectations and took him to sea without a moment's delay.
But now that he is in the endless sea, he is anxious - the sea is vast, and the ghost knows where Sun Zhenwu will hide people!
If you can't find a place where Sun Zhenwu hides people, or if you go a step too late, and people are killed by Sun Zhenwu, then the misery of your own family can be imagined.
Just as he was gritting his teeth, he was gently patted on the shoulder, and when he turned his head, Liu Zhiyang came to him at some point, looking at him with love in his eyes.
In front of him, Chu Fan didn't hide it anymore, and asked worriedly, "Where are we going?" Uncle Shi knows where the Sun thief is hiding? ”
Liu Zhiyang looked straight ahead, squinted his eyes and replied, "Don't worry, I know where the surname Sun hides things, and the left is just a few desert islands on the edge of Changshan Island, we can always find them when we touch them one by one." ”
There are some things that he is inconvenient to say to Chu Fanming, although Sun Zhenwu and him are not directly subordinate, they can fight together in Liaohai, and Liu Zhiyang is the head snake in Dengzhou, so when Sun Zhenwu usually does those shady things, he will occasionally pull Liu Zhiyang to do it together, so Liu Zhiyang knows the roots of the few uninhabited desert islands he often goes to.
Sure enough, he could only find it slowly one by one, Chu Fan was even more anxious, but he was helpless, after all, he was blind to this sea.
Both sails were hung up and fixed, Cangshan Tie was full of the wind, and galloped towards the north, Chu Fan estimated the speed, about thirty yards, which was already very fast, and his heart was rough.
After the sails were hung up, the boat was quieter, and Ge Bi, who had been helping to lay his hand at the main sail just now, came over and asked Chu Fan in a low voice, "Young Master, are we going to Changshan Island?" ”
Chu Fan thought about Liu Zhiyang's words just now, nodded and said, "Maybe so." ”
Ge Bi said with an anxious look on his face, "I guess this surnamed Sun should escort the boat to Xiaozhu Island." ”
Chu Fan asked curiously, "Uncle Ge, how did you deduce that you are on Xiaozhu Island?" ”
"After I jumped into the sea, I went south to Tongjing. When jumping into the sea, our boat was going to the northwest, and there was only Dazhu Island and Xiaozhu Island in that direction. Ge Biao seems to be very familiar with this area.
Chu Fan hesitated, Ge Bi was the party, and his judgment was certainly reasonable; But Liu Zhiyang's attitude just now was very firm, which made Chu Fan very nerve-wracking, now is the critical moment of the race against time, who should he listen to?
After thinking about it, Chu Fan decided to take a gamble, so he took Ge Bi to find Liu Zhiyang and told him his speculation.
This Xiaozhu Island is indeed one of the desert islands that Sun Zhenwu often visits, so Liu Zhiyang almost didn't think much about it, so he agreed to go to Xiaozhu Island first. He gave an order to Gao Heigou, and Cangshan Iron turned to the northeast and headed in the direction of Xiaozhu Island.
Although the course was adjusted and it was no longer a tailwind, but the high black dog was a veteran, and after turning the sail, the speed did not decrease much, and about an hour later, a black dot appeared in everyone's field of vision, and Ge Bi told Chu Fan that it was Xiaozhudao.
Getting a little closer, the black dot turns into a black line, and finally the coastline is exposed.
Looking at the rocky desert island, Chu Fan beat a drum in his heart, is this bet right?
