Chapter 594: Fallen Soul Township
Ji Wuce and Tan Jiaotou laughed at the same time, they can't forget the silver at any time, this is really Mr. Qin's style! However, Qin Baichuan's request is indeed reasonable, firearms are too terrifying, if they can be used in the military on a large scale, their destructive power is unimaginable. To put it mildly, whoever masters the firearm may hold the lifeline of Da Song and even the whole world.
Ji Wuce trembled violently, and suddenly realized the importance of Qin Baichuan to the situation in Dasong, he hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his fists and said, "Sir, can you give me a carrier pigeon?" ”
"Oh?" Qin Baichuan squinted.
"Sir, don't get me wrong, I want to pass the book directly to 'Lord Lu'." Ji Wuce gave Qin Baichuan a look, obviously the Lord Lu in his mouth was not Lu Shigao, but the emperor: "What Mr. is most worried about when he goes to Qingmeng is nothing more than Jiangling, I will not mention any firearms in this letter, but just remind 'Lord Lu' again, let him protect Jiangling no matter how turbulent the situation is!" ”
Tan Jiaotou's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what he meant. This guy wants to stabilize Qin Baichuan's rear, and then enhance Qin Baichuan's good impression of the royal family! In this case...... Tan Jiaotou also beat a spirit, if the emperor wooed Qin Baichuan at any cost, then the righteous king would be in danger!
Thinking of this, Tan Jiaotou also took a step forward and hurriedly said, "Sir, I also want a carrier pigeon......
"Okay, Qin knows what you mean." Qin Baichuan waved his hand, ordered someone to bring pen and ink, and said lightly: "The stakes are very high, don't blame Qin for being too careful, you can only write one sentence - at any cost, to ensure the safety of Jiangling." ”
Ji Junshi and Tan Jiaotou both hesitated, after all, they only have the right to objectively state the facts as subordinates, and they are not qualified to send back command-style messages to the master. Although it was a little impolite, the two of them stepped forward almost at the same time and nodded vigorously.
In front of Qin Baichuan, after the two of them wrote this sentence, Qin Baichuan sent someone to retrieve the carrier pigeon and slowly released it. Ji Wuce and Tan Jiaotou both took a deep breath, and Qin Baichuan's expression eased slightly, this time...... After leaving Daesong, there will be no accidents in Gangneung, right?
After doing this, it was already dusk, the waves were high and the wind was fierce at night, and there was a big battle, Qin Baichuan was not in a hurry to leave, and ordered the Bliss Sergeant to light a bonfire and camp on the spot. For the teenagers of the Bliss Army, the small test of the knife was a complete victory, although it was an unprecedented victory after hanging up almost twenty companions, so these teenagers took out the wine treasured by the fat water thief and drank it happily.
Drinking alcohol on the march was a taboo in the military, but Qin Baichuan did not exercise special restraint and let this group of children go crazy. When the time was approaching, Hao Dashan, who had returned to Anyang first, took a merchant ship and Chen Moya, who had just joined the mountain navy, and returned.
Qin Baichuan made it clear before Hao Dashan left, there will be no more fat water thieves in Anyang in the future, and the unification of this isolated island will also be handed over to the management of the mountain navy.
After learning the news that the Bliss Army would destroy the Fat Water Thieves within a day, in fact, Chen Moya didn't believe it at all, originally, they didn't dare to say that they had won a big victory on the premise that their numbers were not weaker than the Fat Water Thieves, and that group of teenagers might wipe out the Fat Water Thieves? However, when Chen Moya saw the scene on the isolated island with his own eyes, he decisively closed his mouth, and his fear of Qin Baichuan was even deeper.
Of course, Qin Baichuan would not explain too much to Chen Moya, let Chen Moya's people deploy along the isolated island, and after explaining a little, he asked Hao Dashan to carry the materials in the warehouse and return to Anyang at night. That night, Qin Baichuan stayed in the bedroom of the big boss of the fat water thief and slept well.
When they got up the next day, it was almost noon, and the Bliss Army had a full meal on the island and boarded the ships separately. According to the route already arranged by the military division, Qin Baichuan needs to first bypass the Stacked Liushan Mountain north of Anyang, which extends into the sea, detours from the mouth of the sea to the Qingming Sea, passes through Lin'an in the north, enters Jiuhe from the Huaishui generation north of Lin'an, crosses the Dasan Pass, passes through Zhongxing, and finally reaches the Qingmeng generation.
Abraham stayed in Anyang to assist Wu Erya in refining white phosphorus and refining gunpowder, so he did not accompany the army, but he also studied this route many times and finally confirmed the feasibility. According to Abraham, at this time, the winter has basically passed, the water flow and wind direction are extremely consistent, if everything goes well, at most fifty days, Qin Baichuan can reach Qingmeng.
Qin Baichuan was somewhat disappointed when he first heard this conclusion, according to Abraham, it would take three months to come and go, if he was delayed for a few more months in Qingmeng, even if he was lucky enough to return to Jiangling, but at that time, things were already wrong, right? Maybe...... Others will still remember themselves, but what about Quxi? He didn't know.
No matter how lost, Dasong's traffic is like this, unless Qin Baichuan has the ability to move mountains and reclaim the sea, he can't change the facts at all. In the end, Qin Baichuan led the people of the Bliss Army to have a full meal, and boarded the ship and left on the afternoon of the second day after the extermination of the fat water thieves.
Because everyone drank a lot of wine at noon, the sergeants of the Elysium Army were not very sentimental when they left, and even some teenagers who had never been far away showed excitement, but as they got farther and farther from the south, the scenery on the vast sea became more and more monotonous, and a dull homesickness enveloped the four warships.
Of course, Qin Baichuan also felt the emotions of the sergeants, but he didn't take it to heart, when he went out to study for the first time, didn't he also have this mentality? He didn't pay much attention to it, but he was worried about Ji Wuce, as a veteran military division, Ji Wuce is very aware of the current situation, to put it a little more terrifyingly, under the shroud of homesickness, it is most likely to mutiny!
Ji Wuce told Qin Baichuan about his speculation as soon as possible, but Qin Baichuan still didn't pay attention to it, and it wasn't until about the tenth day of going to sea that more than a dozen teenagers from the Qingfeng War Department killed two guards while resting and freed the clipper from the battleship, that Qin Baichuan realized the seriousness of the problem.
Of course, these dozen teenagers have never been able to escape from the palm of Ji Wuce, who had been prepared, and after discovering the abnormality, Ji Wuce didn't even have time to report to Qin Baichuan, so he sent the masters of the Splendid Snake Group to pursue, and it took less than two hours before and after to bring these dozen teenagers back, and Qin Baichuan, who learned the news, got up from the bed sleepily.
More than a dozen teenagers were tied up and knelt on the deck in turn, and behind them Ding Sanshi carried a ghost-headed knife with an angry face. Defection has always been a shame in the army, after seeing Qin Baichuan come out, Ding Sanshi pulled out the ghost head knife, as long as Qin Baichuan gave an order, these dozen people will fall to the ground.
"Sir, these greedy and death-fearing mongrels killed the two of us, the evidence is conclusive." There was a rare sternness in the tone of the military division: "According to the military law formulated by Mr., you should be beheaded!" ”
Qin Baichuan's face was also blue, he swore to Ji Wuce a few days ago that the Bliss Army would not defect, but these people gave him a slap in the face tonight! To say that he was not angry in his heart was false, at that moment, Qin Baichuan even had the urge to snatch Ding Sanshi's ghost head knife and personally chop these people. And the dozen or so teenagers kneeling opposite also knew that they were at a loss, except for the two people who were the leader, the rest of them all kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Qin Baichuan turned around and looked at the night with his hands behind his back, Ding Sanshi and the others looked at each other in confusion, and the dozen or so teenagers were even more frightened, unable to figure out Qin Baichuan's true thoughts. After a long time, Qin Baichuan pointed ahead and said, "What kind of place is that?" ”
He looked along Qin Baichuan's fingers, but saw that there was a small brightly lit place along the coast, and he had already done his homework and replied: "That is the Fallen Soul Township...... Mr. may not know that the upper branch of the Liushan Mountain is rich in firewood, and after the autumn is cut down, these logs will be connected into a huge raft and transported to Anyang and Jiangling for a bag, and the Soul Township is a must-pass place. ”
"Originally, there was no such place here." Tan Jiaotou then explained: "About 20 years ago, some women started a prostitution business here, and most of the firewood transporters were peddlers and pawns, and the sea was high and rough. The so-called fallen soul is probably that those peddlers and pawns are ready to die, and they leave their souls here before they die. ”
"Dock." Qin Baichuan was silent for a long time and spoke.
"Never!" Ji Wufu was in a hurry, and defended: "Sir, after the Fallen Soul Township, the front of the Fallen Soul Township is the Qingying Sea, and it is not far from Lin'an. We should pass through as soon as possible, if the news is leaked and the Martial King learns, it is very likely to cause a big war! ”
"Dock." Qin Baichuan shook his head stubbornly, there was no room for maneuver at all.
"Hey." Ji Wuce gritted his teeth, and disagreed with Qin Baichuan's approach in his heart, but after all, he was the supreme commander, and he could only pass on orders.
The four warships docked one after another, and most of the prostitutes who had heard the movement in the vicinity had climbed up, doing what they did, especially in this kind of place, where it was common to pick up customers late at night. Seeing the crowds on the four big boats, these prostitutes are all excited, it seems that this is the rhythm of customers tonight!
The prostitutes were ready to do everything they could to pull some guests, but when they saw the detachments of sergeants come ashore in a murderous manner, their original expectations turned into fear. The Camouflage uniforms worn by the Bliss Army were extremely strange, and most of them carried steel knives around their waists, which instantly reminded them of water thieves across the sea.
"The government is handling cases, and everyone is not allowed to make noise or move around at will!" Seeing that those prostitutes were about to disperse, Tan Jiaotou took out the token from his waist, and those prostitutes were suddenly silent. Although prostitutes are unsightly, the government does not prohibit them, and it is better than encountering water thieves.
"Let them all go back first, and don't cause unnecessary disturbances." Qin Baichuan waved his hand, and Tan Jiaotou understood, and led a team of sergeants to disperse the prostitutes silently, and then sent scouts to pay close attention to the surrounding movements.
