Archery on a boat is very immoral, this canal is not as close as the sea, the distance between ships and ships is very close, what to do if you shoot arrows with a bow and arrows, and accidentally injure others. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Tong's fleet of ships picked up the draft ball, and the surrounding boats thought they were going to do something, but when they shot the arrows, they were all startled, and they were busy avoiding it, and the people with big tempers scolded secretly.

However, everyone also knows that such a large fleet dares to shoot arrows with such a flamboyant bow, and the origin must be not small, although it is the appearance of a civilian ship, but it is still better to offend less.

Wait for a few arrows to shoot here, the surrounding ships finally put their minds at ease, the archery is really wonderful, although the canal is calm, but the boats are shaking again and again on the water surface This is inevitable, plus there is a breeze blowing, the hanging grass ball is also shaking, but nearly sixty steps away, but there is no arrow missed, this can go.

At first, the people of the other ships looked for a sheltered place, and then they all went to the deck, and there was an arrow on one side, and there was a cheer on the other side.

After ten arrows are shot here, the grass ball is already full of arrows, which is actually another subtlety but the onlookers can't see it, the grass ball is not big, an arrow is shot, the next arrow is less position, ten arrows are shot, this is a test of the head and judgment.

"Mo Rigen and Batu were originally brothers, their original small tribe was fought for by several tribes because of a beautiful woman, although it was dedicated to the nobles of the Horqin Department, but the tribe that did not fight was ruthless, and came to kill their tribe cleanly, these two people escaped this catastrophe because they let the horses go away, and since then they have been horse thieves on the grassland, and they have also made an eyeliner or something for Jizhen Town."

Wang Tong was on the second boat, looking at the man standing in front of the boat shooting arrows, and Wu Er on the side introduced loudly there, this one who shot arrows is Mo Rigen, it is said that according to the Mongolian language, this is the meaning of the archer.

"Have you checked the roots? There are almost 100,000 Tartars dead in our hands! ”

"Please rest assured, I dare to bring it back after finding out the roots, it was originally to be arranged to be a guard on Zhuangzi, Li Chengliang finished fighting Duolun over there, and after the various departments on the grassland went back, they went crazy to clean up and clean up the Qing, and all those who had some ties with our Ming Dynasty were not left, and these two brothers couldn't stay on the grassland, so they came to defect, and they had many business dealings in the past, and this time they checked through the general soldiers."

Wu Er's errand can be regarded as complete, Wang Tong nodded there, turned his head to look at the grass ball, and said with a smile:

"It's a marksman!"

Wang Tong didn't lower his voice, and Mo Rigen over there also heard it, bowed down on the top of the cabin, and another man came up with a bow and arrow, presumably Nabatu.

Archery is high, or to see the high and low on a target, this Batu also heard the praise of Wang Tong to his brother, and has the heart to show his ability, he hesitated on the top of the boat with a bow and arrow, but it was a bow and arrow, the first arrow was shot, the rope hanging the grass ball was broken, the second arrow was shot, nailed to the wooden pole of the hanging rope, the third arrow was also nailed, and several arrows were shot in a row, all of which were nailed to the wooden pole in unison.

This shows his ability even more, Wang Tong is there smiling and patting, the boats on both sides are like thunder, walking on the canal, although the scenery on the shore is constantly changing, but it is also boring, there are such wonderful tricks on the river, it is really refreshing.

If Mo Rigen and Batu didn't have bows and arrows in their hands, they would look at the men of the rural villages in the north, short and sturdy, and the looped legs that rode out of the horse, which were originally braided on their heads, but when they came to the original, they simply shaved their heads.

"You brothers do a good job, no matter what the ability is on the grassland, don't pay attention to this here, you have made contributions, you can be prosperous and rich in Daming, even if you are on the grassland, you can be a nobleman."

Called over to encourage a few words, but the two of them were very excited, as soon as they met, they knelt on the boat with a big salute of five bodies, trembling, Wang Tong felt a little puzzled at first, thinking that the two sides had been dealing with each other for a short time, why were these two so humble,

Wu Er explained on the side before he understood that now Wang Tong is famous on the grassland, and that Altan Khan was an emperor-like existence on the grassland, but such an existence was killed by Wang Tong and destroyed the country, and Wang Tong's status in the hearts of these warriors on the grassland can be imagined.

After being encouraged by Wang Tong, the Mo Rigen brothers kowtowed again and again, Wang Tong smiled and asked them to go back to their posts, just about to talk to Wu Er, but now Wu Er was staring at the river.

Looking at Wu Er's eyes, he saw a small boat the size of a sampan, but there was a relatively wide sail on the boat, which was serial between the big boats on the river, walking quite fast, there were three people on board, one person was there to control the sails, and the other two were standing at the bow and stern of the boat and looking around.

When the boat passed by Wang Tong's fleet, the two big men on the boat looked very carefully, and when the boat passed, Wang Tong groaned and asked:

"What? Something is wrong? ”

"If you go back to your lordship, it was the people on the river who came to see the goods just now!"

Wu Er looked at the back of the small boat, and said in a deep voice there, the canal is not very peaceful, and a case was made on the river, killing people and burying the bank, the boat was changed, and the bitter master could not be found, it was a completely headless case, and the oil and water on this river was abundant, and there were many people doing business on this river.

After so many years of peace, there are fewer and fewer forces on the canal, such theft and looting, killing people and stealing goods, and there are huge profits, but in most cases the profit is not much, but the trouble is not small, and the big forces on the river often focus on carrying goods and trafficking in violation of the ban, such as illegal salt.

But bandits are bandits, and when the fat comes to them, they will not fail to eat it, and in the area under their control, they must regularly patrol the river.

Seeing that he was rich in wealth, he saw if there was any backyard and backyard scenery, so he secretly started to make a fortune without knowing it, and there were even those who were hired to do some murderous deeds on the river.

Wu Er looked there, but Shi Qi, who was on the other boat, had already climbed onto the cabin, and looked into the distance with his hands on the pergola, with an old man like him, he naturally understood what that meant just now.

Wang Tong didn't feel anything about this at all, these forces on the rivers and lakes were nothing in front of the officials, and the difference between fireflies and sunlight was really not worth mentioning.

But the guards who followed him didn't dare to slack off, Wang Tong's status was precious, and if he encountered anything on the road, everyone really couldn't afford to be guilty.

"Old Master, if it is the official boat of Qincha, these people on the river will not dare to move, let's go back to Jining and change to the official boat over there."

It was Liu Saburo who came to admonish, he and Shi Qi are old characters in this line, these words are what they can say, but Wang Tong is very resolute about this:

"Don't you have the confidence to protect Ben Hou Zhouquan, after Jining to the south, there will be no Wang Yufa in the Ming Dynasty, Ben Hou came here to investigate the case, not to show the prestige of this Qincha, don't change!!"

This is very different from Wang Tong's style of doing things, but Wang Tong said this, a few old people discussed, the case is not too big, more than a dozen ships with hundreds of guards, boatmen and sailors are all veterans who have been running on the canal for many years, and they will not worry too much about careful precautions.

But after a day in Jining, the kind of vacation-like idleness on the ship disappeared, everyone was nervous, according to the wartime system, every day to arrange people to guard the guard, Wang Tong did not expect that there were many people who would know how to water in his own guard, Sha Dongning needless to say, that is the child of the people on the sea, Tan Dahu Tan Erhu has been driven by Tan General to learn to swim since he was a child, and he grew up on the side of the Squid Er Canal, and the water is not bad.

After all, this ship is not as good as the land, and the water will not be exploited, even if it is an elite general, it may not be able to show its own skills, of course, Wu Er and Shi Qi are also good at water, but Liu Saburo and the two Mongolians are not good, Mo Rigen was still seasick when he first got on the boat, which is needless to say.

Jining Prefecture is much more prosperous than Linqing Prefecture, this is quite Wang Tong admired, Wang Tong went to Aojiamen when he was a child is the sea route, and so on as an adult are in the North Zhili, Shanxi and grassland activities, to the south This is the first time, the canal basin is the most prosperous area of the Ming Dynasty, it does let Wang Tong grow insight.

Linqingzhou, Jining Prefecture, prosperous may not be as prosperous as Tianjinwei, but in this era, it is still a very great rich city, all the way to the south, all the places along the coast are more and more prosperous and prosperous, but after Jining, the situation has changed.

According to the records of Jinyiwei, Jining to Xuzhou, Xuzhou to Shanyang, the two banks of the canal in this section are not very peaceful, many bandits are active, the folk customs are also fierce, and the local clans often have private soldiers in their hands, and collude with bandits, but these things are also understood, and nothing to do.

After Jining Prefecture, walk for a day but walk into Weishan Lake, the surface of Weishan Lake in this era is several times or even ten times that of later generations, the boat travels on the lake, and there is no edge in sight.

At present, it is a tailwind, and after a day and a half, you can go out of Weishan Lake and enter the Xuzhou boundary, but when it is dark, you have to anchor on the lake, and you can sail with wind lanterns at night, and it is the safest way to anchor on the lake for a night.

The boatmen and sailors arranged by Dong Chuangxi for Wang Tong were indeed veterans, but they found a sandbar overgrown with reeds and shrubs in the lake before dark, and anchored near this sandbar.

As early as the wharf of Jining Prefecture, the guards on the boat bought sheep and chickens and ducks, and got a few big fish in the river, and a dry person cleaned up on the edge of the sandbar, but a little picnic meaning, is happy, but the sentry on the boat shouted and said:

"There's a ship coming!!"
