5-37 toll booths. The Youth Army

Jiangyin County along the Yangtze River is a military stronghold, and Junshan and Huangshan outside the city are fortresses. Jun Mountain is in the north of the city, outside the Chengjiang Gate is the town of Jiangyin, there is a pine wind pavilion on the top of the mountain, and the view is quite good.

Jiangnan Tongzhi said: Junshan overlooks the river and the mountains protrude from the plains, overlooking the big river, and after the Song Dynasty crosses to the south, the camp is relocated at the foot of the mountain as an important place for the battle, and there is an arrow platform under the mountain today; As for the Yellow Mountain, it also faces the big river, in the north of the mountain, Wuli and Junshan are all named after Chunshen Jun, and produce a lot of coal.

Huangshan is close to the Yangtze River in the north and Jiangyin County in the south, and the mighty Yangtze River suddenly becomes narrow here

"Eo Haitou"

The saying of "the key to the Yangtze River" has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times. The mighty Yangtze River plunges thousands of miles into the sea, from the Jingkou below, the mountains in the heart of the river are only Jiangyin, the mountains here are not high, but in the splendid Jiangnan of a horse and Pingchuan, Jiangnan is already the best commanding height, the river surface between Jiangyin and the Jingjiang River on the opposite bank is only four miles wide, with the giant steam crossbow installed on the Yellow Mountain, the Yangtze River can control the river flow in the north, the Yangtze River sailor has set up a checkpoint here, the iron cable across the river is to block the waterway, collect the toll of the boats, this measure is the newly appointed fortress guard, Sun Ren implemented the ships like a carp crossing the river, and are loaded with goods, even if each ship charges a tael of silver tolls, a day can also have a huge amount of thousands of taels, this huge temptation leads to the moneySun Ren, who is as rich as his life, resolutely decided to lock the river and charge!

A warship was parked in the river, the left and right sides were divided into east and west directions, and the waterway iron cable closed the river, and only one ship was allowed to pass at a time, charging a certain fee according to the different goods loaded, the Yangtze River sailors were not Caoyun Yamen, and they did not have the function of collecting taxes, and they could only borrow the name of inspecting the water bandits, maintaining the law and order on the river, and Sun Ren, who was ingenious, also came up with an idea, that is, to deal with the cargo ships that were loaded with goods, and the cargo ships that were loaded with many waterlines pressed to the side of the ship, he had to be fined, so that the cargo ships could not stand it, and the water transportation earned was a hard-earned money, and the silver that was earned was hard to pay, and this inexplicable fine was really intolerable。

A ship boss has a steamship under his hand, dragging eighteen flat-bottomed cargo ships pulling Songjiang cloth behind him, to the charged warship, here the sailor officer who is responsible for collecting the money casually counted, and asked him to pay twenty taels of silver, twenty taels of silver, but a huge amount of money, the ship boss went this trip, even if he ran in vain, all the silver earned was not enough to compensate, so he accompanied the smiling face and the officer to bargain, how do you know that it is good not to bargain, a mouth provoked the officer's displeasure, immediately raised the fine by double, twenty taels to forty taels, and then argued, forty taels to eighty taels, and then if this continues, even the ship with the goods is not enough, the ship boss is angry, simply do not pay a tael of silver, put the ship horizontally, we don't go over。

The officers and soldiers of the sailor division are also very powerful, if you don't pay it, then detain the boat and take people! There was a dispute between the two, and after pushing and shoving, they moved their hands, so it was a mess.

The seized ships were blocked on the river, the ships from the east and the west were blocked, and the other boat bosses waved the true colors of the Chinese nation, and when they saw the loopholes, they drilled regardless of the order, and thousands of ships were blocked into a black and oppressive piece, which was completely impassable, and the follow-up ships continued to join in, causing the blockage to become more serious.

That's it, Sun Ren is not willing to let go of the chains of the sealing river, in his opinion, these thousands of boats are not boats, they are all floating on the water, and they are blocked, don't be afraid, anyway, it is your boatman's money, Sun Ren ordered: continue to charge fees and fines, and all ships that dare to evade fines and trespass on the iron rope will be sunk with a giant crossbow.

Wen Jun has been blocked here for three days and three nights, his plan to raid Nanjing is about to come to naught, there is not much dry food with him, those native soldiers squatting in the dark cabin to eat and drink, Lazar for a long time, can not stand Wen Jun's resourceful people in the face of such a situation, he can only be helpless, he is not afraid of paying any fines and tolls, but it must be his turn to line up to pay, ah, now the thousands of ships in front of them have begun to protest against the actions of the sailors, and collectively refuse to pay, so the blockage is even more serious, open a passage by force?

It is even more impossible to cross the strait, but the fortress equipped with the steam crossbow produced by the Liguo Iron Works is too small to beat you a few small boats, and the whole army will be wiped out before Germany arrives at the gate of the capital, and it is too late to retreat now, and there are more and more ships arriving in the rear 6, and the entire Yangtze River waterway forms a dead knot here in the Jiangyin section.

Unable to move forward, unable to retreat, unable to land. can only wait here, Wen Jun can't help but worry, Nanchang's fan is not a vegetarian, and after a long time, it will definitely be them, and now it will become a turtle in the urn at that time, Zhao Jing's mixed river dragon submarine is also trapped in the river, and it is impossible to advance or retreat, at this time, Major Zhao is standing next to Wen Jun at a loss, discussing the current situation.

"Brother Jun, what should we do now? With so many people suffocating in the cabin, if they don't come out and get through the air, there will be chaos. Zhao Jing was very worried about the endurance of the three thousand troops.

"The boat is naturally straight to the bridge, you don't have to worry, everything is in my expectation." Wen Jun knew that he couldn't show the slightest panic at this moment, otherwise the army's morale would be chaotic, since the riot, everything was not going well, Cheng Liangjue and the army of Shanghai Province were not fighting, and the armed sailors who gathered were also vulnerable, and the country did not support him, Wen Jun's plan was to attack Nanjing in the west, he did not expect to occupy Nanjing with 3,000 troops, but he just wanted to make a big mess and cause hostility between the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, so that his goal was achieved.

Wen Jun's subordinates were all radical young officers of the Song Kingdom, and these people secretly organized a group called

The party abbreviation of the "Great Song Dynasty Young Military Restoration Federation".

The president of the "Youth Army Association" is His Excellency Wen Jun, a descendant of Wen Tianxiang. The young 6 naval officers worked hard for Wen Jun, Ma Shizhan and set the goal of restoring the rule of the Great Song Dynasty, and when they encountered difficulties, their eyes were focused on Brother Wen's face and they were at his disposal.

"If it is still blocked here, let's go out, seize the Jiangyin fortress, completely cut off the Yangtze River waterway, the Yangtze River is the main artery of the Ming Kingdom, the transportation volume is long, the railway, let's get some sunken ships, block it, it will definitely cause the Ming Court to shake, let's take advantage of the situation to kill the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, stir him upside down, and then the Ming Kingdom will definitely settle the account on the Song Kingdom, and the cowards in the country will no longer be able to pretend to be stupid, and the war will definitely break out!" Wen Jun's idea was that if he couldn't reach Nanjing, he would make other trouble, as long as it could cause a war between the two countries.

All the officers expressed their support one after another, and they were ready to do a big job, these people were the essence of the military circles of the Song Dynasty, and they had rich experience in naval warfare and six battles, and when they were spreading out the map to discuss the specific plan, the observation post on the mast showed the enemy situation and quickly reported it: Now there are airships approaching in the eastern sky.

For the combat capability of the Red Shirt Regiment, the Youth Army will have detailed information, airships, flying gods, rocket launchers, radios, and even ironclad vehicles are all in their expectations, during the Battle of Fengtian Temple, Wen Jun, as a member of the Song Dynasty Viewing Troupe, had personally witnessed the benefits and disadvantages of these cutting-edge weapons, and when he heard that the airship came to him, his heart couldn't help but constrict, could it be that this operation was going to fall short?

No, absolutely not! Wen Jun's mind came to mind the moment when Zhao Jing reversed the short sword and stabbed into his chest that day, he had sacrificed too much for his ideals, and now there is no way to retreat, only to move forward and move forward!

"Brothers, the enemy is in front of us, what shall we do?" Wen Jun asked solemnly.

"Kill!" The brethren of the Youth Army replied unequivocally, and there was no trace of timidity in their eager eyes.

"Okay, while the ships are on board, let's go out and occupy the fortresses on both sides of the strait!" The young officers of the Youth Army Association led the soldiers to emerge from the cabin, stepping on the deck of the adjacent ship and rushing forward, the native soldiers did not wear shoes, walking barefoot on the shaky deck, as if walking on the ground, suddenly appeared a large number of native soldiers with bright and shaking broadswords, those Yangtze River boatmen were frightened, some surrendered with their heads in their hands, some jumped into the water to escape, fortunately the native soldiers were not embarrassed, they just rushed straight to the fortress where the defender was on the toll warship, Sun Ren personally supervised the collection every day, and his chariot warship became a professional toll station, while writing

The flag of the "Jiangyin Garrison Sun" fluttered high on the mast of the toll station, guiding the direction for the native soldiers.

The natives of the South Seas are good at tropical jungle warfare and water warfare, this kind of hand-to-hand combat on the deck is the best for their appetite, the soldiers who have been holding back in the cabin for several days have black oil on their faces, shouting loudly in the native dialect, and rushing straight to the toll booth, they have to wash away the shame of the defeat in the street battle in Shanghai a few days ago!

For the convenience of water warfare, the soldiers did not wear armor, but only covered their shirts with a layer of cork, orange-red life jackets, which could not only ensure that they would float on the water after falling into the water, but also resist swords, guns and arrows to a certain extent.

The officers of the Youth Army Association wore rhinoceros leather armor and the Song Army's signature red-tasseled fanyang hats, holding scimitars and rushing to the front.

A group of soldiers jumped and rushed over on the continuous trough boats, and the owner of the boat waited for the soldiers to rush over before he dared to raise his eyes to look at it, wiped his sweat and said: "My mother, someone is finally blocked." Sun Ren also appeared in the commotion on the river, thousands of black and orange-red figures quickly crossed the boats blocking the river, and killed him, scared him a lot, didn't the water bandits on the Yangtze River almost suppress it, why did it come out again, he hurriedly gave the order, and greeted the crossbow shooting on the fortress with a flag.
