Chapter 161: Where is the Big Ship?
He Long gave Zhang Lingfu a full 3,000 people, and now Zhang Lingfu's subordinates had the capital to compete with Zhang Fakui, Zhang Fakui confidently told He Long that with these soldiers, he might be able to wipe out Zhang Fakui's loose troops.
Everyone couldn't say anything except laughing, they just received their own tasks and left, but He Long said uneasily, "A lesson to Zhang Fakui is that the big ships we have collected are not small, and I will send a ship to meet you when the time comes, don't waste our military strength." "Bearded, do you think the commander-in-chief's condition is really that serious? When I was fighting, that guy threw me away as soon as I tried my best, because I didn't believe that he was going to die of illness, and this scourge generally has a long lifespan. "What nonsense!" He Long's guards were old men who followed He Long, and they had great respect for He Long, and when they saw that he had the nickname of military commander mentioned in front of He Long, they were immediately unhappy.
Daoist He Long was not annoyed, but thought that the kid in front of him was a man of temperament, "patted Zhang Lingfu on the shoulder and said, dare to say that in addition to your commander-in-chief, you are the second, give me a good fight on the other side, if you don't hurt Zhang Fakui, this guy won't take the bait." As for the commander-in-chief, there is no problem at all, but don't spread the word, there are very few people who know the Tao so far, we are because as a participating unit, the commander must be clear about the situation, so don't spread the word about the Tao? Zhang Lingfu nodded, "The commander-in-chief has also begun to fool people now, but I don't know who else is unlucky this time besides Zhang Fakui?" "Don't guess, let's go, but if the limelight is bad, run away." He Long instructed.
"Don't worry." Zhang Lingfu had already left with his people, and when Zhang Fakui arrived, what he saw was a dense position established along the river, and it was impossible to cross the river at this time.
Zhang Fakui looked at the binoculars from a distance, and found that it was Zhang Lingfu's military flag, and immediately smiled angrily, "This little child surnamed Zhang really thinks that he is the overlord Xiang Yu, and he actually learned to fight against the water, I will let them go to heaven and attack me later." "Commander-in-chief, we should go and collect the big ships now, otherwise even if we defeat them, we won't be able to cross the Jiujiang River." There was a newly appointed division commander who was anxious to immediately suggest to Zhang Fakui.
"This is indeed a very important matter, you now send a group to the nearby villages to collect big boats and small boats, and organize the local people to let him help us make boats, the attitude is better, don't scare the local people, want to get rich, when the war is over, I will give you a chance." "It's the commander-in-chief!" The newly appointed division commander hurriedly prepared to complete the task.
"Report!" A representative of the local fishermen asked to see him, Zhang Fakui's guard said at the door.
"Fishermen's representatives, let them in." Zhang Fakui said.
"Commander, you have to call the shots for us." The two fishermen's representatives seemed to be local people with status, and they were also dressed very well, but when they saw Zhang Fakui and so many murderous faces around Zhang Fakui, they were still so frightened that they fell to their knees on the ground, trembling and not daring to say a word.
"Grass! If you have any grievances, why don't you look for the local government, why do you look for us! A brigade commander went up and was about to kick the two fishermen, but was stopped by Zhang Fakui.
"Hmmm! Who is the commander-in-chief! Zhang Fakui frowned and said, "Tell me what grievances there are, because Zhang Fakui can't come to this place in vain, I have to let the people remember me." Hearing Zhang Fakui speak, the two fishermen who had been kowtowing raised their heads and said, "Since Liu Yuan entered Jiangxi, we local fishermen have not been allowed to go to Jiujiang to fish, saying that we are spies, the conscience of heaven and earth, we have been fishing locally for generations, and if we are not allowed to fish, what do we eat." The fishermen's representatives wept bitterly and told them about their grievances one by one.
Listening to their words, Zhang Fakui Ha Da Lu laughed, "Liu Yuan'er, he has the ability to fight, but the governance of the territory is much worse, he thinks that he can prevent us if he doesn't let the people fish, jokes, just the local people can overthrow him." "Commander, you have to help us, we can't beat them, they have cannons, machine guns, we ordinary people really have no choice." When the fishermen heard Zhang Fakui say that the common people could overthrow Liu Yuan, they were so anxious that they kowtowed. "Commander-in-chief, I think these two people are spies under Liu Yuan, and we should kill them." A staff officer stood up and said.
"Commander, we are really local people, so Liu Yuan couldn't survive, so we asked the commander to help." The fisherman said anxiously.
"It's not a spy, then we just arrived here, how did you know that Lu Dao came to us for help, and you didn't say what a spy is?" The staff officer snorted angrily.
At this time, Zhang Fakui was also tempted, could these two fishermen really be Liu Yuan's spies, and then looked at the two fishermen, Zhang Fakui immediately laughed, because one of the young spies was already urinating in his pants, and he cried vigorously, I am not a spy, don't kill me.
Another common man was also frightened, lying on the ground and not daring to look up, and said, "The second little brother has a nephew who is a major battalion commander in the command camp, and he spent the night in our village yesterday, and told us that the marshal is fighting with Liu Yuan, and only you can help us." "What's the name of that battalion commander, that unit." Zhang Fakui asked.
"The second battalion of the third regiment of the fifth division is called Dongyu." The fisherman said cautiously.
After a while, a young man with a tiger's back came in, very energetic, and after coming in, he gave Zhang Fakui a military salute with a snap, Zhang Fakui is also an old soldier, and he can see at a glance that this young man is a good soldier, and looking at the temperament he exudes, he has definitely killed people on the battlefield.
"Boy, yes, how about being a guard for me?" Zhang Fakui said.
"Commander-in-chief, this is the person I focus on cultivating, you can't leave." A brigade commander is not happy when he sees it, the commander-in-chief is trying to rob people.
"Commander-in-Chief Xie cultivates, but the brigade commander is kind to me, and I can't abandon him." Dongyu said.
"Silly boy, just to let you study and study by my side, let you go back in a few days, and let you be the regiment commander when the time comes, you brigade commander can't afford to raise a talent like you." Zhang Fakui glanced at his brigade commander with disdain.
"Brigadier, the lowly will not leave you." Dongyu said sadly.
"Silly boy, the commander has taken a fancy to you, you are going to be developed, don't forget Lao Tzu when the time comes. Get out of the way to the big handsome. The brigade commander of Dongyu reluctantly glanced at the youngest brigade commander under him, he didn't expect that the young man of this game would leave him so quickly.
"Dongzi, look at these two people, do you recognize them?" Zhang Fakui pointed to two fishermen's representatives.
"Second uncle, why are you here, didn't you ask you to prepare a gift and come again? How can you ask the commander to do something? Dongyu said anxiously.
Seeing Dong Yu talking like this, Zhang Fakui was relieved, "Okay, they all say that poor people, where are there any gifts, even if they don't come, they will kill Liu Yuan sooner or later, but they are all fishermen, do they have boats." Zhang Fakui turned his head and asked.
"Dashuai, the boat is our capital for eating." As soon as the fishermen heard that they wanted their boat, they were immediately frightened and said that they would not contribute.
"Uncle, why are you so stingy, the commander can only cross Jiujiang, conquer Nanchang, eliminate Liu Yuan, and save you from fire and water only by borrowing our boat." "Dongzi, you can't say that, those boats have been passed down from generation to generation, without the boats, how can you let us live." The fishermen's representatives looked like they were sworn to death.
"Don't worry, we requisition your boats, if there is any loss, we will compensate you, and we don't care about your fishing boats, we have so many troops, at least dozens of big boats, so in order to give you money, you repair, and pay you wages when the time comes, it can be regarded as a way for the people in your village to live." Hearing that this commander was so good, the fishermen's representative didn't know what to say, but said that this young man named Dongyu was the first to react, "Commander Xie Lu, Commander Xie Lu Xie has given the villagers in our village a way to live." "It doesn't matter. Anyway. As long as Liu Yuan is defeated, it is easy to say anything. "That's all for today, let's rest for a day, and tomorrow we will wipe out this little enemy on the shore.
After listening to Zhang Fakui's order, the officers each returned to their own units and built fortifications, not because they were afraid that Zhang Lingfu would attack, but because they were afraid that Zhang Lingfu would run away, and more than 100,000 people would not stop making noise until night.
Zhang Fakui naturally couldn't be as casual as the soldiers, he said that he slept in a nearby village, but when he was asleep, the earth-shattering cannon suddenly rang out.
Zhang Fakui woke up from his sleep with a clever wit, and it was not a day or two to fight with Liu Yuan's troops, and all Zhang Fakui was not as flustered as before, he was very familiar with it, and there were not many people who knew Mi at all.
"Where?" Zhang Fakui asked.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, the squibs fired at the opposite position, and they didn't shoot shells at all." The guard hurried over and said. "Damn, let's be vigilant, they probably deliberately paralyzed us. Arrange the sentry posts, and the others will continue to rest, so that tomorrow there will be a good fight. After saying that, I sighed and went to sleep.
