Chapter 180: Trust Must Be Forged with Blood
Zheng Wei began to believe in the words of this one-eyed "teaching", and these "officers and soldiers" seemed to really have some kind of mystery in their hands.
After ten days, they finally got used to the rules of hygiene and rest, and were about to take a breath, when more rules were pressed down, making everyone dizzy. Isn't it just to be a water warrior, how can you throw down so many rules? The officers and soldiers will not be so tossed, could it be that they are being required according to the standard of "heavenly soldiers" mentioned by Fan Jiao?
"Zheng Wei! Distracted, carry the wood three times! ”
Wang Tang shouted, and Zheng Wei in the queue also screamed. This young instructor, who they secretly called "Wang Xiaoer", really bit him and didn't let go, and when he saw that he was a little negligent, he wanted to rectify it, but he couldn't help it, these people's rules are so big. He also saw with his own eyes that Wang Tanghe was ordered by that Fan to teach him because he didn't write any paperwork, and he lay down in the muddy water for push-ups.
Loudly answered, Zheng Wei carried a log, grinning around the field, and occasionally looked at the queue with envy, Wang Tanghe was teaching Shui Yong how to stop bleeding and bandage wounds, this is a craft.
The first half month was just physical training, for them who were begging for a living at sea, it was like playing, scratching their heads was military discipline, fortunately there were instructors such as Wang Tanghe and other instructors, several of them formed a group, each memorized a class of regulations, and then reminded others, helped each other, and gradually became familiar with it.
In the second half of the month, Zheng Wei returned to his youth in a trance. The instructor divided them into groups and had a lot of fun in various competitions. What mountaineering, swimming, camping treasure hunting. Each group worked hard for the reward and face. The age span of these Shui Yong is very large, ranging from sixteen to thirty years old, but there is no difference between the size of the group, and in just one month, they feel that they have another home. Unlike Ba Zheng, this is a home with only brothers. Whether it's training or competition, it all depends on everyone supporting each other to complete, and what identity, what generation, all are left behind.
"It's really unforgettable, we also came here in Jiguan Mountain."
Seeing Shui Yong, who was in full swing fighting for the "triathlon" race, Fang Tangheng said this to Wang Tanghe, who also nodded again and again. It's been almost two years.
"But then...... We've paid the price in blood. ”
Wang Tanghe still has a different opinion.
"Look, there will be a test next, and Fan said that whether you can trust them or not depends on this test."
Fang Tangheng cupped his arms and looked towards the east.
In mid-April, Lantau Island was already in full swing, and Shui Yong gave off his summer uniform of short-sleeved shorts and shorts, and was preparing to meet some new tricks, but he was greeted by a large group of officers and soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition. But Zheng Wei and the others knew that these soldiers wearing the uniforms of "soldier", "patrol" and "brave" were actually the guards of Qingtian Company. And their instructors, such as Fang Tangheng and Wang Tanghe, are also leaders of the guards with multiple identities.
"I heard that they were going to fight the eleven villages in Dalang Bay in the east, and they didn't participate in the Guanxiang Meeting, and they killed the tooth people sent by Inspector Liu."
"Those guys should have cleaned up a long time ago, there are no rules at all, they will rob people when they see them, even if we are fishing!"
"Nothing to do with us? This is a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions! ”
Listening to the discussions of his companions, Zheng Wei also had a fire in his heart. The eleven villages in Dalang Bay in the east are the strongholds of the white swallows, the big thieves in the open sea, and that guy is running Nanyang business, and they don't violate the river water with the Bazheng well water in Hong Kong. But occasionally bumped into, relying on the ship's cannons, he will still pick up a bargain, not an enemy, but a bad neighbor.
In the "headquarters" of the camp, Fan Jin, Liu Xingchun and Su Wencai were staring at the rough map and discussing in a low voice, they were all a little nervous. The people of the business department of Qingtian Company were killed in Shiyi Village, and Li Shi immediately gave an order: "Destroy them." But he was busy with important business in Guangzhou, so he couldn't come in person, so he had to hand over the command to them, and the three of them suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Although there is Hu Hanshan's silver carp, Li Xi also asked Wu Ya to bring a wing of guards over, plus the three sentinel guards that were placed in the camp before, there are more than 300 elites in total. The situation of the eleven villages is also roughly understood, that is, two or three hundred strong, six or seven hundred women and children. But what it will be like to really fight, they really don't know what it will be like in their hearts.
"These bastards, if they don't want to make money, they don't care, why are they still so arrogant!"
Su Wencai was very annoyed, if it weren't for the fact that Si Wei was going to be dispatched, he would have the heart to urge Jin Qizhen to find the officers and soldiers of the greenhouse camp.
"It's probably because we're moving too much here, and those guys think they're going to deal with them, and the tooth people who come to the door are also used as spies."
Liu Xingchun gritted his teeth, the staff of the commercial bank who was killed was still from his Liu Village, and this revenge must be avenged.
"The fight must be fought, but you have to be cautious and careful, you can't damage the wings of the general director for the sake of these thieves."
Fan Jin is a literati, after the disaster, he devoted himself to learning soldiers, but he was still just a soldier on paper, which he was very self-aware, so he was never willing to act rashly.
"The general director explained to us very clearly, we are responsible for making decisions on who to fight, when to fight, and what the result will be. The specific way to fight is left to Wu Ya and Hu Hanshan to decide. ”
Once again, he clarified his responsibilities.
"Zhang Yingneng brought a hundred trustworthy battalion soldiers, and I also have a hundred people under my command, Su Wencai's servants can't be counted on to catch them quickly, so they will guard the prisoners afterwards, and in addition, they can only rely on your side to guard."
Liu Xingchun is calculated and calculated, but unfortunately this is Xin'an, not Yingde.
"If ......"
Feeling that the manpower was still insufficient, Fan Jin thought of something, and was thinking about it, Zheng Wei was brought in.
"Teach, let's fight Shui Yong too!"
Zheng Wei is here to ask for war.
"You will go to war, but you are only auxiliaries, and you can't be counted on to fight."
Fan Jin said unceremoniously, he was thinking about Shui Yong just now, but whether it is training or trust, Shui Yong's strength is still useless.
"There we are familiar with...... Besides, if we are raised, isn't it just a war? ”
In this month's training, even a man in his thirties has been raised with blood, let alone a young man like Zheng Wei.
"Why do you want to go to war? That's a small life, just for the reward, will it not be worth it? ”
Fan Jin asked lightly, Zheng Wei paused, and it took him a long time before he found a thread in his head, which was what Fan Jin had told them on stage when he first appeared a month ago.
"Fan taught, there is a reward for paying, this is the rule of God. Now you only give us the harvest, we are afraid, afraid that we don't know what we will give, it is better to pay ourselves, and ...... Everyone thought they could do something. ”
Zheng Wei's words made Fan Jin nod secretly, in the past month, he didn't say any big truths to Shui Yong, or instilled any thoughts, he just worked team spirit, which had laid the foundation in their hearts. That is, as a whole, to begin to seek the value of one's own existence, people, after all, do not live just to eat.
But then again, although he has only received the most basic training, in the hearts of these Shui Yong, the strength of the system he is in has been evaluated. Naturally, they are very optimistic about the outcome of this battle, and everyone is willing to fight in a tailwind battle.
"It's okay, what you need to do when the time comes, we'll see on the battlefield."
Fan Jin didn't give a clear promise, but Zheng Wei was already satisfied and was about to leave, when Fan Jin suddenly spoke again.
"Go meet your uncle from the Zheng family, talk to him, and see if he is willing to come out and talk."
Zheng Wei hesitated for a moment and nodded heavily.
"Help the officers and soldiers fight!? You're out of the blue!? ”
Zheng Yong recuperated for a month's injury, not only was the injury almost as good, but his complexion was also very good, but he had been locked up all the time, and his mood was very bad, and after listening to Zheng Wei's words, he immediately lost his temper.
"Although the white swallow is not the same as us, we can't be the eagle dog of the clear dog!"
Zheng Yong's reprimand was already a little disapproving in Zheng Wei's ears.
"Uncle, I see that they are still different from the people in the government, and this time it was also the people who killed them on the side of the White Swallow, so we have to help."
When he said this, Zheng Yong also frowned, the group of people who were holding him were naturally different from the government, in the past month, he had seen it very clearly, but there was another thing that must not be forgotten.
"Zheng Wei, don't forget, whose hands did your father die!"
Zheng Yong said in a deep voice, and Zheng Wei's face turned pale suddenly.
Three days later, Zheng Wei, who was looking at the land from the board, still had this sentence echoing in his mind.
Eleven villages are one of the strongholds of the white swallow, only a part of the family members are left here, he himself will come back every autumn and winter, it is said that this guy has more than a dozen large ships, thousands of people, is a force in the number one of the pirates in the South Seas, with this eleven villages, usually no one dares to provoke, and the government pretends not to know its existence. Anyway, what the white swallow does has nothing to do with the boundaries of the imperial court.
can bump into the Qingtian Company dressed in the skin of the government, this area centered on the boundary of Hong Kong is still the core stronghold of Li Shi's plan, Eleven Village no longer has a reason to exist, and now he still kills the company's people, if it weren't for Li Shi's plan in the Qingpu warehouse is entering a critical stage, he really has to run over to personally supervise the battle.
Now that Li Xian is here, the decision-making level headed by Fan Jin is extremely cautious, and the executive level headed by Wu Ya and Hu Hanshan is extremely cautious. After the Silver Carp patrolled the sea, it was confirmed that there was no threat, and several Daguang ships from the Beijiang River carried the soldiers to the north shore of Dalang Bay.
The Silver Carp was anchored in the bay and shelled the 11th Village on the shore with artillery, covering the landing of the soldiers on the beach east of the 11th Village, and Li Shi regretfully missed the first amphibious operation of his army, and everything went smoothly as an exercise.
Three hundred guards, three hundred Shui Yong went ashore, and then Shui Yong saw how the guards fought. Lined up in three thin rows, lined up with guns, advancing step by step, the pirates guarding the wooden wall only shouted with earthen cannons at the beginning, and there was no movement, and the gate was also torn to pieces by four divine arm cannons, until the guards rushed into the gate, there were almost no casualties.
But when I entered the stockade, things changed, and a stone building blocked the way. The guard of a sentry who rushed to the front was scattered by a burst of guns, and the sentry commander of the Songzi generation who led the team was still unwilling and was about to launch a bayonet charge, but was stopped by Fang Tangheng. Seeing more than a dozen of his subordinates lying in front of the stone building, the sentry commander with an injured arm and leg cried out and was unwilling to retreat, and was dragged down by his subordinates.
Looking at this scene, not only the eyes of the guards were red, but Zheng Wei and the others in the back also felt their heartstrings tremble, and they hated the stone building to the core. The emotions in the shout of the sentry commander, they have already experienced it, comrades-in-arms are brothers, and no one wants to give up their comrades-in-arms.
Wang Tanghe rushed up with a cannon whistle to suppress it, but the divine arm bombarded for a long time, but it only hit the stone chips flying wildly, and it was useless at all.
Wu Ya was furious, and commanded Si Wei to clear the area around the stone building, and then contacted Hu Hanshan, asking him to move two cannons down from the ship and get close to the direct bombardment.
It took most of the day, Si Wei and Shui Yong worked together to push the cannon into the stockade and put it at a distance of thirty or forty meters. Hu Hanshan clapped his palms and said with a cruel smile: "This broken house, let it be shattered into rubble!" ”
Zheng Wei is a volunteer who assists in pushing the cannon in Shui Yongli, he wiped the sweat on his face, and looked at the stocky young man in front of him who was directing the gunner to adjust the muzzle, and his heart suddenly jumped. Listening to Si Wei's greeting, this young man is the captain of the Silver Carp? His father died at the hands of this man.
Glancing at the Shui Yong companions left and right, their eyes were also a little flickering, this Hu Hanshan killed more than 80 people from the Eight Zheng Family, and many Shui Yong present had a grudge against him.
A force came from his heart, and he took his hand to grasp the hilt of the knife at his waist, which was the short self-defense knife that was temporarily issued to Shui Yong before the war. At the moment, they are only three or four zhang away from this Huhan Mountain, and they are all just concerned about fiddling with the cannon, if they move quickly...... Zheng Wei was almost out of breath, and for a moment, it seemed like there were two groups of armies fighting fiercely in his mind.
"Be careful!"
The battle in my head has not yet come to an end, and the battle in reality has come suddenly. The clearance just now was too sloppy, and seeing that the cannon was pushed up, several figures rushed out of the nearby bushes, brandishing long knives and short axes, and rushed towards Hu Hanshan and the others.
Zheng Wei subconsciously shouted, and at the same time pulled out the short knife, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he rushed forward in two steps, and stabbed the enemy who rushed to the front. At the same time, he also heard a noise behind him, and it was the other Shui Yong who rushed up and stopped the sneak attackers.
Fluffy...... One of the pirates who escaped erupted with two thick, tall pillars of blood, tumbling and falling to the ground. Hu Hanshan blew the green smoke from the muzzle of the gun, and glanced at Zheng Wei curiously, "Good man!" ”
This praise made Zheng Wei's heart fall like a lead stone, what happened to him? Why do you still want to save your father's enemy?
looked at his companions Shui Yong, and they all had kinked faces, as if they couldn't understand their behavior.
"Brothers, get out of the way, beware of the cannons!"
Hu Hanshan shouted and woke up the gang.
"Brothers......
Zheng Wei muttered this familiar and unfamiliar word, feeling as if it was connected to a new bloodline with him.
"Avenge your brothers!"
Hu Hanshan shouted loudly.
"Fire!"
There were two loud thunderous sounds, and the stone building spewed out a large cloud of smoke and dust, and the sundries of the human body flew in the smoke and dust.
"Okay!"
Si Wei and Shui Yong all applauded, including Zheng Wei.
