Chapter 381: Sea Falcon
Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, exchanges with overseas have become more and more frequent.
In order to consolidate coastal defense, starting with Li Shimin, he has been working to strengthen the building of the naval army, and has formed a powerful combat force so far.
Of course, with the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, few enemies could threaten from the sea.
But even so, the Tang Dynasty never stopped building a naval army. Perhaps in terms of importance, the Navy is not as important as the Army. However, the Tang Dynasty still built warships with a displacement of 100 tons, dominating the sea frontier.
The full name of this sea ship that rushed out of the reeds was the Iron Wall Ploughshare Plane Falcon Warship, which was often referred to as the Sea Falcon Ship in later generations.
This kind of ship has a low bow and a high tail, a large front and a small back, and looks like a seabird, so it gets the name of the sea falcon.
Ten zhang long, one zhang eight wide, and about eight feet five inches deep, it could accommodate a hundred soldiers and was equipped with various assault weapons.
Shenhui couldn't help but be startled when she saw the appearance of the sea falcon clearly.
This Di Guangyuan actually transferred the sea falcon ship?
He knew that in Haiyan County, not far from Cheung Chau, there was indeed a naval army stationed there, and it was equipped with this kind of sea falcon warship. But when will this ship be transferred? Could it be that Di Guangyuan transferred all the sailors of Haiyan?
"Let's go!"
Shenhui cried out, but the fisherman did not dare to move, as if he was frightened.
At the same time, more than 20 boats rushed out of the reeds and sped towards the fishing boats......
"San Lang, row the boat quickly."
Jueming also panicked and shouted loudly.
It's just that he ignores this era, people's fear of the government.
Saburo helped them at first, but he didn't expect the government to be involved. Can ...... now Look at this stance. I know that things are not small. At this point, he was already scared stupid. Don't talk about boating. Even the sculls were a little unsteady.
Seeing this, Jue Ming stepped forward and pushed Saburo away and snatched the sculls.
The fishing boats were speeding close to the surface of the lake, but the boats behind them were chasing after them, and they were getting closer and closer to the fishing boats.
"Elder, what the hell is going on?"
Saburo collapsed on the boat, already stupefied by the astonishing scene.
Jue Ming said sharply: "Shut up, don't make noise here." ”
Talking. He turned his head to look at Shenhui, and saw that Shenhui had lost his previous calmness, revealing a panicked look.
His heart sank!
"Elder, what shall we do?"
Shenhui sat on the boat, his face pale.
From the very beginning, Yang Shouwen and Di Guangyuan had no intention of really blocking Taihu Lake. Think about it, Taihu Lake is so large, if it is to be completely blocked, God knows how many people will have to be used? The easiest way to do this is to let the wind out and lure him out of the bun. But. How do they know that they are hiding in Baoshan? How do you know that you are going to Penglai?
Shen Hui's thoughts were completely confused. Didn't even hear Jueming's shouts clearly.
At this time, the sea falcon boat also drove with full force and approached the fishing boat.
As the distance between the two sides narrowed, a series of shouts were heard from the sea falcon's boat, followed by a flame flying from the boat, and the canopy landed directly in front of the fishing boat. All of a sudden, the water became rippling and the waves were so rough that they almost overturned the fishing boat. It is also thanks to Jue Ming's boat management skills that he is not bad, and he strives to stabilize the boat. However, in this way, two walkers rushed through the sides of the fishing boat, blocking the way of the fishing boat. The remaining boats also quickly approached, surrounding the fishing boats.
"If you don't surrender, you won't be killed."
The sailors on the boats set up their bows and crossbows and aimed them at the fishing boats.
Jue Mingna dared to resist again, and he was too busy to let go of the pulp, his hands were raised above his head, and he knelt on the deck.
"Hugh wants to release arrows, Hugh wants to release arrows, and the poor monk surrenders."
But Shenhui calmed down at the moment, looking at the fishing boats around him, he reached out and felt something from his waist and threw it into his mouth.
Slowly standing up from the boat, Shenhui looked at Di Guangyuan on the sea falcon boat, and said with a smile: "Di Xianzun, putting on such a big scene, just for the old monk, really made the old monk a little flattered." ”
Di Guangyuan smiled!
Today's action is planned by him and Yang Shouwen.
As for these warships, it is also a coincidence that they were borrowed because Haiyan's sailors happened to pass by. Di Guangyuan is Di Renjie's son after all! Although Di Renjie has rarely been concerned about the government and politics since this year due to physical reasons, he is still the most trusted person around Wu Zetian. This face must be given! So as soon as Di Guangyuan said it, the navy agreed.
As for Yang Shouwen, he didn't come over today.
Di Guangyuan is now a newcomer and needs to show his strength.
At this time, Yang Shouwen didn't plan to steal Di Guangyuan's limelight, it was better to stay in this county government honestly.
However, when Yang Shouwen deduced that if Shenhui escaped from Baoshan, he would most likely go to Wucheng and let Di Guangyuan wait here. Di Guangyuan didn't know how Yang Shouwen knew the other party's path, but seeing that Yang Shouwen was sure of what he said, and he also knew how to advance and retreat very well, he didn't say anything, and he believed Yang Shouwen's arrangement.
"Shenhui, your Puhui Temple is raising warrior monks, and you are trying to assassinate the imperial court officials, which is also related to the death of the former abbot elder of Puhui Temple. This official is ordered by the Punishment Temple to arrest you, if you are smart, do not resist. ”
Shenhui smiled: "What did the county lord say?" The poor monk is just a person outside the party, how dare he fight against the power of the imperial court? ”
As he spoke, he made a gesture of restraint.
And Di Guangyuan pouted slightly, and was just about to order his subordinates to board the ship to arrest Shenhui, but saw Shenhui suddenly fall headlong on the boat.
He was startled and hurriedly motioned for his men to board the ship quickly.
The fast hand jumped from the boat to the fishing boat, came to Shenhui's side, turned his body over, and saw that the old monk was bleeding from all his knots, and he had died of anger.
"County Zun, Shenhui has taken poison."
"What?"
Di Guangyuan suddenly panicked, and hurriedly signaled his subordinates to send Shenhui to the boat.
There were medical workers on the ship, who had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Shenhui on the boat, they hurriedly stepped forward, and after some investigation, they shook their heads at Di Guangyuan.
That clearly means to tell Di Guangyuan: There is no help!
He's dead?
Di Guangyuan didn't expect Shenhui to be so decisive. Committed suicide by poisoning.
I wanted to take this opportunity. Catch the person behind Shen Hui. But now he's dead. Doesn't that mean that all the work done should be wasted?
Di Guangyuan's face also became a little ugly.
His eyes swept gloomily over Jueming and Saburo on the fishing boat, and these two people were also stunned at the moment.
"Arrest these two people and go back with the county."
"County honor, the little monk is wronged, the little monk is wronged!"
"The county respects the master, and the grass people are wronged."
Jueming shouted repeatedly, and the San Lang also came to his senses. Busy shouting grievances.
But at this time, it is too late to say anything. I saw a boat approaching, and the servants on the ship shouted and cursed, and the two of them hurriedly and honestly boarded the boat, and then were tied up by the ropes of the officers who rushed up.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Back on the shore of Taihu Lake, the sky was already bright, and it was almost time.
Yang Shouwen took Lu Chengzhi and Yang Jasmine to wait on the shore, and when the sea falcon boat docked, he hurriedly stepped forward.
"County Zun, can you catch that divine wisdom?"
Di Guangyuan's face turned pale. Nodding his head, he said, "Got it...... However, the demon monk committed suicide by poisoning. Although the county wanted to stop it, it was too late. Qingzhi, this time it was the negligence of this county, I didn't expect this demon monk to be decisive. ”
"Dead?"
Yang Shouwen was also stunned when he heard this, and immediately showed a wry smile.
"The county doesn't have to feel so guilty, this matter is also my negligence.
I forgot that these people did not die and failed to alert the county in advance...... However, if someone is finally caught, it can be regarded as not in vain. ”
"But ......"
Di Guangyuan originally wanted to take this opportunity to find the real culprit who poisoned Wang Yuankai from Shenhui.
Now that Shenhui is dead, this clue is also broken!
He was remorseful in his heart, and Yang Shouwen's gaze shifted from Shenhui's corpse to the fisherman and Jueming who were escorted down.
"County Zun, who are these two people?"
"Oh, it's the one who gave the gods...... By the way, the county hasn't asked you yet, how do you know that they will go Wucheng? ”
Yang Shouwen smiled: "It's just speculation, but I didn't expect it to be right." ”
"Speculation?"
Di Guangyuan is wooden, and he is a little indecisive in doing things.
But that doesn't mean he's stupid! In Yang Shouwen's words, there was obviously something to hide, but he could still hear it. However, the contact with Yang Shouwen in the past few days also gave Di Guangyuan some understanding of Yang Shouwen's temperament. He knew that Yang Shouwen didn't say it, there must be his reasons. Because he can feel that Yang Shouwen is not the kind of person who has a particularly strong desire for fame.
Presumably, Qingzhi has his exquisiteness!
This is Di Guangyuan, and his temperament is a little soft.
If you change someone, maybe because of this incident, you will have a problem in your heart. However, it was precisely because he knew Di Guangyuan that Yang Shouwen did this. In the same way, if it were a different person, he might not be willing to cooperate with him.
"Ah Lang, he's not dead yet!"
Just as Yang Shouwen and Di Guangyuan were talking, Lu Chengzhi stopped Shenhui's corpse and motioned to put Shenhui's corpse down.
He beckoned the medical worker to come over, and the two squatted beside Shenhui, and after a serious examination, Lu Chengzhi suddenly shouted.
Yang Shouwen and Di Guangyuan were talking, and when they heard Lu Chengzhi's shout, they were taken aback.
He hurriedly walked over and crouched down to check.
I saw that the body of Shenhui was stiff, and there was still dirty blood on his face, and it was clear that he was completely dead.
He was about to speak, but he heard Lu Chengzhi whispering beside him: "Ah Lang, don't show it, just treat it." ”
Yang Shouwen was stunned for a moment, and then woke up.
He instantly understood what Lu Chengzhi meant, hurriedly got up and stopped Di Guangyuan, and said loudly: "Hurry up and send him to the county government and hurry up to rescue him." ”
"Whoa!"
Lu Chengzhi took off his clothes and covered Shenhui's body.
It's just that, I don't know if he was too excited, or a little flustered, the clothes covered Shenhui's face, and others couldn't see the situation clearly. Two officials stepped forward and lifted him up and placed him on a door. Lu Chengzhi pulled the medical worker and left in a hurry with the servant, leaving only a group of stunned people, who seemed to be unclear.
"Aoyuki, what's going on? Is it really alive? ”
Yang Shouwen pulled Di Guangyuan and walked towards the carriage, saying as he walked, "Dead...... But even if you're dead, you can be of great use. County honor, after returning to the county office, please spread the news immediately: Shenhui tried to commit suicide by taking poison, and has been rescued by us. (To be continued.) )
