Chapter Thirty-Four: Fight a Town
Shi Jin said some goodbye to Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang, and then took a boat to the golden beach.
As soon as I drove out of the reeds, I saw hundreds of people playing in the water.
Ruan Xiaoqi was standing on the water stepping on the water, and saw a boat sailing out of the reeds, looked intently, and saw a person standing on the bow deck, Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang behind, so he stretched out his hand and pointed to the boat and said: "Children, I shouted three numbers, swam over there, and the people who fell behind were fishing at night." ”
Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu next to him also shouted: "Listen to Brother Qi's command, swim over together, don't lose to them." ”
"One"
"Two"
"Three."
After Ruan Xiaoqi shouted three, he also plunged into the water.
Shi Jin saw that hundreds of sailors were swimming over here, and said to Zhang Qing behind him: "Last month's competition, whose team won?" ”
Zhang Qing said with a smile: "The water army is still the first team of Xiao Qi, the infantry army is the second team of the Chen Da brothers, and the four teams of the Chen Da brothers have been trained by him for a long time, but the first place in the infantry army this month may really be taken away by the team under the Zhu Gui brothers, and his two teams performed well last month." ”
As he spoke, a person had already been shot out of the water like an arrow, it was the living Yama Ruan Xiaoqi.
Ruan Xiaoqi twisted his body in the air and landed beside Shi Jin, as soon as the boat shook, Ruan Xiaoqi steadied his feet hard, hugged his fists and said, "Brother, don't come unharmed." ”
Shi Jin patted Ruan Xiaoqi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't come unharmed, Seventh Brother is a lot darker, isn't it soaked in water every day?" ”
Ruan Xiaoqi said with a smile: "The second brother and the fifth brother train the children every day, and I can't lose to them." ”
While talking, Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu also jumped on the boat.
Ruan Xiaoqi waved his hand and motioned to the sailors in front of him to swim behind the boat, and when he saw the remaining dozen or so people, he asked those people to stop and shouted: "That's all for today's drill, you go fishing, and the others are scattered." ”
Ruan Xiaoer and Ruan Xiaowu also ordered some backward people to go fishing.
After the water was thawed, the sailors began to fish in addition to the exercises, supplying cottage canteens and hotels.
The boat docked to the wharf built by Golden Beach, and the six of them went ashore, and when they walked to the second pass with a smile, Zhu Wu, Chen Da, Yang Chun, and Zhu Gui heard the news and greeted them.
Shi Jin and everyone recounted their feelings after farewell and went to Dazhai.
After going down the mountain for more than a month, there were many barracks in Dazhai, and there were several single courtyards.
The group went straight to the back cafeteria.
Zhu Wu had already asked the Huotou Army to set up a banquet to wash Shi Jin's dust.
While eating and drinking, everyone listened to Shi Jin talk about his trip to Tokyo and Cangzhou.
Ruan Xiaoqi already knew about Lin Chong from Shi Zhu, and when he heard Shi Jin talk about Lin Chong again, he couldn't help but say: "Although this Lin Chong's martial arts are good, he is cowardly, and he was framed like a dog official." When I was replaced, the assassin went out of the city, and he killed the two dukes, and then went into the city to kill those dog officials, how could they burn their feet and then attack. ”
Chen Da nodded and said, "What Brother Seventh said is that when he burned his feet and was saved by his brother, he shouldn't let those two dukes go." Following my brother to Liangshan to do the way for heaven is not ten million times better than going to Cangzhou to be a military matcher. ”
Sun Erniang also shook her head and said, "My brother has walked more than a thousand miles for such a person......"
Shi Jin didn't know what Lin Chong was thinking, so he waved his hand and said: "It's not cowardice, Lin Jiaotou is different from our background, we are from a reckless background, and if we are bullied, we dare to kill people and set fire when we have a seizure." They would rather be bullied than struggle to be loyal. ”
Zhu Wu nodded and said, "What my brother said is that he is just a little foolish. ”
Ruan Xiaoqi shouted: "Don't talk about him, brother talk about that Chai official, although we have never been to Cangzhou, we have heard that he has a great reputation." ”
Shi Jin said with a smile: "Chai Daguan is generous and hospitable, and his reputation is well deserved. In the end, it is the grandson of the dragon son of the former dynasty, and the family is so magnificent, and the subordinates who are called alone are afraid that there are not hundreds, even the heroes who go to vote have subordinates to serve. It's just a little unaccustomed to it. ”
Ruan Xiaoqi was speechless: "No wonder everyone in the rivers and lakes calls him a big official, he is really different from us." ”
After eating for a while, Zhu Wu thought that Shi Jin was in a hurry for days, and it was not appropriate to drink too much, so he proposed to disperse.
Shi Jin ran fast for two days, and he was also a little tired, so he dispersed and went back to rest.
The next day, Shi Jin first went to Dongshan to greet his wife.
The old lady lived in Dazhai for a few days and then moved to Dongshan.
Ruan Xiaoerhun's family also thought that Dazhai was noisy during the exercises, so they moved to Dongshan together, living next to each other, which was more convenient to take care of the old lady than before going up the mountain.
The old lady saw that Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi were the leaders, and they had more than 20 days to practice in January, and they couldn't gamble money, and they saved some of the money they received, and they were also very happy, so they found a family for the two of them in Dongshan.
There are already more than 200 families in Dongshan, and the old lady really found a few handsome girls of the right age, ready to watch for a while, if she has a good temperament and is diligent in her hands and feet, she will ask someone to talk to the matchmaker.
The old lady also thought about Shi Jin, but she was afraid that he was the son of a big family and looked down on the daughter of the village.
Shi Jin listened to the old lady for a while, and laughed that he was still young, but he strongly supported the old lady to give Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi Zhang Luo's relatives, and promised to persuade Ruan Xiaoqi, who did not want to start a family.
chatted with the old lady in Dongshan for a while, and when he returned to Dazhai, he invited the leaders to the Juyi Hall to discuss matters.
Everyone arrived, and Zhu Wu first reported the situation of the cottage for more than a month.
After Liang Shan's reputation for Tianxingdao spread, it was much easier to recruit troops.
In this month, the cottage reorganized three teams of people and bought more than 60 war horses.
Shi Jin allocated another team to Zhu Gui and the two teams, leaving one team to expand the horse army under his direct control.
Zhu Gui saw that Shi Jin let him manage the four teams like Chen Da and Yang Chun, and he was naturally very grateful in his heart.
After dividing the soldiers and horses, Shi Jin said: "When I went down the mountain, I said that when I came back, I would go down the mountain and kill a few big people. Did Brother Zhang Qing find the one who should be killed? ”
When everyone heard that they were going to do the right thing for heaven again, their eyebrows immediately danced.
Zhang Qing said: "The big families in the villages around Shuibo have moved to the neighboring states and counties, and the only way to beat the big ones is to go to the nearby towns, although the nearby towns organize strong men and take turns to patrol the sentry, but many people in the town are dissatisfied with this. First, they delayed the agricultural work, and second, they did not want to be instructed and blackmailed by those Baozheng. Those strong men were forced to be on errands, and their combat strength must not be high. ”
Zhu Wu nodded and said, "This is also the reason why the prince's armor protection law failed, and this law is very disturbing to the people. Another point is that our cottage only kills large households, and does not harm ordinary people, and the people are naturally more reluctant to be errands. ”
Shi Jin said with a smile: "Then let's hit a town first, which town do you think we should fight?" ”
With that, he turned his head to look at the map hanging behind him.
Closer to Yangsan are Hachae Town and Sanguchi Town in Jeju, Jingdezhen and Guanshan Town in Dongpyeong Province, and Anding Town in Puzhou, all of which are about 100 miles away.
Zhu Wudao: "There are more soldiers and horses in Dongping Mansion, and we don't know their details. It is better to hit the town of Jeju first, the town of Hecai is close to the Guangji River, if you fight there, I am afraid that it will affect the luck of Cao and attract the imperial army. We can hit the town of Yamaguchi, but we don't know what the people are there. ”
Zhang Qing said: "The town of Shankou is also rich, there are always more than 1,000 households, and there are also a few families that harm the people. Because it is more than 100 miles away from Yangsan and leans on Jeju City, the big families in the town did not escape. ”
Chen Da said with a smile: "Then we will fight Yamaguchi Town, those officers and soldiers in Jeju will not be of any use, even if they dare to go out of the city, they will only send some more armor." ”
Shi Jin looked at the map, nodded and said: "Then let's fight Shankou Town, all the sailors will be dispatched, and I will command two teams of horse troops, Chen Da's four teams, and Zhu Gui's two teams of infantry troops to go down the mountain." The military advisor and Yang Chun guarded the village. ”
In order to pretend to be a grain merchant to buy grain, the cottage really bought several large ships, one boat can carry more than 200 people, although it can not be compared with the sea ships that can carry thousands of people, but it is also a big ship in the inland river.
Yang Chun didn't have any opinion on guarding the village, but Sun Erniang jumped up and said, "I also want to fight with everyone." ”
Zhang Qing was not worried about the Hun family, so he got up and said, "My husband and wife are willing to fight with my brother." ”
Shi Jin nodded and said, "Okay, when you want to go, you can pretend to be a passing guest and go to the town to stay overnight." The Zhu Gui brothers also chose some delicate brothers to pretend to be merchants, and Xiao Qi got some clippers to send them to the vicinity of Shankou Town, and then hid them. We descended the mountain after dark, and the town of Yamaguchi could be reached at dawn. When you hear the sound of fighting, you can join forces and take the town. ”
"Okay."
Ruan Xiaoqi, Zhang Qing, Sun Erniang, and Zhu Gui all responded.
After a little more deliberation, they dispersed to make preparations.
Zhu Gui had already been a merchant, and it was not difficult to pretend to be a merchant, so he paid some materials, chariots and horses from the treasury, selected more than 20 minions with similar accents, changed his clothes, and pretended to be a merchant.
Shi Jin saw Zhu Gui tirelessly and carefully explain his subordinates in the martial arts arena, and nodded secretly at Zhu Gui's finesse.
When Zhu Gui led the people down to the Golden Beach, Ruan Xiaoqi had already prepared two big boats, and Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang also explained to the Bowai Hotel and waited at the Golden Beach.
The group boarded the boat and headed south in the direction of Jeju.
Shi Jin and the others waited until night fell before boarding the ship and heading south.
Everyone set sail for the first day, and drove for nearly three hours in the night before docking.
Ruan Xiaoqi led a group of sailors to hide in the reeds for half the night, and when he saw the fleet, he followed.
Shi Jin sent a team of infantry troops ashore to inspect it, and then asked each team to assemble ashore immediately, and the navy went to the nearby reeds to hide.
Most of the new tenants in the cottage are from Jeju, so naturally there is no shortage of people to lead the way.
Ma Bujun walked for more than an hour in the night, and came to the outside of Shankou Town at five watches.
The town of Shankou is much larger than the village square fought before, and Shi Jin is no longer surrounded by him, and the brigade drives directly to the entrance of the town.
When Chen Da led a group of people to touch the town, he was discovered by Bao Ding, who was keeping vigil at the entrance of the town.
"Who?"
"Kill."
Chen Da couldn't feel it, so he shouted violently and rushed forward.
"Kill."
Shi Jin led the horse army behind, saw that the front had been killed, and he no longer hid, so he led the horse infantry army to rush forward.
Zhang Qing, Sun Erniang, and Zhu Gui, who lived in the inn in the town, heard the loud killing outside, and they all got up, shouting and killing at the entrance of the town.
"The heroes of Liangshan do the right thing for the sky, and the people guard their homes."
Some of the guards in the town heard the shouting and killing, and originally wanted to come out to protect the town, but when they heard that the heroes of Liangshan were already in the town, they all hid at home and did not go out again.
The dozens of guards guarding the fence at the entrance of the town heard that there were also people in the town who were killed, and they all fled before they could fight.
Liangshan soldiers and horses easily entered the town, and Chen Da left a team of people to guard the gate of the town, and led the other three teams to patrol and guard several roads in and out of the town.
Shi Jin took Ma Jun and Zhu Gui's two teams of infantry to attack several large households in the town.
Most of those big families and nurses saw that the town was broken, and most of them fled first, so as not to be caught by the soldiers and horses of Liangshan, and then denounced by the people in the town, and suffer from eating skin and flesh.
Seeing that the opportunity was slow, he was blocked by Liangshan's soldiers and horses, and he didn't dare to resist, so he obediently tied his hands.
The summer days are long, and a few big households have been caught, and the sky is already shining.
Shi Jin asked the people to go to the town to avenge their grievances, and the people of Jeju had already heard about Yangsan's practice of doing the right thing for the sky, and they were not afraid, and came to the town one after another.
The people who have the bitterness and hatred come out to denounce those who harm the people, and most of the people are watching the excitement and do not dare to come out to denounce, lest they suffer lawsuits in the future.
Shi Jin asked people to behead two big families who did a lot of evil and a town to splash skins, scolded a few people with a cane, and then asked the people to return to their homes, took a few big families of money and food, and came to the water.
The people who were willing to join the gang also packed up and went on the road together.
