Chapter 388: The drums of war are in a hurry
After Zeng Ming read it, he handed the note to Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu handed it to Reina after reading it, and after such a circle, it returned to Zeng Ming's hand, Zeng Ming tore the note into pieces without thinking about it.
"The Huangsha Gang is going south, it seems that the capital of this Wang family is not small. Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief, his expression was relaxed, this news was decisive, it would end the argument between him and Liu Tie, and Liu Han also expressed his position on the argument between him and Liu Tie, and the strategy of Hanhai Trading Company in this Cao Yun was decided by Liu Tie, and he did not intervene.
Seeing these words, although Xiao Yu Renner was calm on the surface, he was very shocked in his heart, they didn't expect that Liu Han would actually hand over the important matters related to Hanhai Trading Company and even his personal fate to his subordinates in this way.
"Does Liu Tie know the news?" Reina looked up at Zeng Ming and asked, Zeng Ming shook his head: "Brother Tie left yesterday, this was just received, and Brother Tie should be able to see it when he arrives in Dongping tomorrow." ”
Reina nodded, thought for a moment and said, "Please tell him that we have set up rudders in various places, and we will do our best to find the enemy, and if we can determine the enemy's traces, we will take the initiative to attack, but if we can't find it, we will follow our plan, wait for the rabbit, gather your people, and board the ship in three days." ”
Zeng Ming nodded and went out without saying anything.
Reina stood up and walked to the window, the wind on the river lifted his hair, Xiao Yu sighed softly, got up and took off the cotton and draped it on him.
Reina tightened his grip and whispered, "There is no time to fight, there are five more days, the fleet will set off, and we must set a plan." ”
Xiao Yu smiled faintly: "Actually, you know, I don't care where or how I meet the enemy." ”
Reina sighed, looking at the busyness on the dock, and sighed halfway: "Actually, they don't need it either." ”
Five days, in fact, the last seven ships of grain arrived in two days, hurry up and load the ship, and you can set off in three days, the reason for five days is that there are still a few deals that have not been negotiated, twenty-two ships, and now there are fourteen ships with goods, and the remaining eight ships have not yet landed, and there are still a few merchants to discuss.
Hanhai Trading Company Pengcheng store is located in the most prosperous Gulou Street in Pengcheng, but the accommodation is not here, but in a scoop alley next to it, this courtyard is two, the front yard and the back yard, there are two tall apricot trees in the yard, it is in bloom at the moment, and the white flowers exude a burst of fragrance.
Zeng Ming dismounted at the door, led the horse into the yard, and threw the reins to the guy who came over in a hurry, Zeng Ming himself went straight to the backyard, and entered the house in the backyard, a middle-aged and slightly chubby scholar was sitting on the desk side leisurely drinking tea and reading, seeing him come in, the scholar put down the book.
"The matter has been decided, Brother Song, get on the boat in three days. Zeng Ming said.
"It's time to calculate. Song Gao said calmly, slightly contemplated, he got up and clenched his fists: "So, Brother Zeng, I'll go and prepare." ”
Zeng Ming nodded: "Your people will be dressed up as boatmen and go on board." ”
Song Gao frowned slightly: "There are seventeen of us, among which there are five women, and this time there are twenty-two boats, how many are we responsible for?"
"I haven't talked about how much I'm responsible for, but I'm going to have to prepare. Zeng Ming said calmly, he didn't know who this Song Gao was, the shopkeeper had instructions, and he could trust them, but he must not let them know the secret, which meant very clearly, he could believe in Caoyun, but he couldn't let them know the secrets of the trading company, including the contact information with various places, the contact password, the strength of preparation, and the secret rudder of Pengcheng.
"Okay!" Song Gao nodded at Zeng Ming, Zeng Ming continued: "We don't have many blades, I know, you all have blades, but I'm talking about bows and crossbows, I think that this time the other party will not come with heavy troops, and will attack with a master with light troops, so we must be prepared to encircle and annihilate the masters, such as grandmaster-level masters, and there are fewer grandmaster-level masters on our side, so our approach is that each boat must have enough time to resist or delay until our masters come to help." ”
"Understood. Song Gao frowned, the Great Jin Dynasty is not limited to martial arts, the Jin people can wear swords and swords, but the control of bows and crossbows is relatively strong, bows and arrows are easy to say, but crossbows are different, the Great Jin Dynasty clearly stipulates that crossbows are military products and cannot be held by civilians.
This rule has been almost like waste paper for hundreds of years, and now almost every private soldier of each gate valve family is equipped with a crossbow, and Hanhai Trading Company also has it, but since Liu Han does not allow his strength to be exposed, Zeng Ming can only take this out.
"I'll take care of this. Song Gao didn't hesitate at all, the prince had already sent an order to meet all Liu Han's requirements and do his best to ensure the safety of Cao Yun, so he took care of everything.
"Okay! I'm so tired of Brother Song. Zeng Ming was not polite at all, and Song Gao hugged his fists and said goodbye.
Song Gao didn't go to the front door, but came out of the back door, then went around the alley a few times, stopped at the back door of another warehouse, and knocked on the door quickly.
The door opened, and Song Gao flashed in.
This courtyard seems to be the backyard of the warehouse in front, but in fact it is not, the whole yard is long and long, the gate is open on the east side of the yard, after entering, the small courtyard in front is the living room, there is a moon gate next to it, Song Gao entered from the moon gate, passed through the two moon gates, and suddenly a courtyard appeared, there were seven or eight men in various robes and clothes chatting in the yard, and when Song Gao came in, several people came around.
"Brother Song, how long are we going to stay here? ”
"Fuck this, Old Song, how long will the fuck wait!"
"my sister, this Hanhai Trading Company is messing around! We're in jail!"
.....
Most of the men in the rivers and lakes are vulgar, they are messy when they open their mouths, a few women are not there, and they have no scruples when they speak, Song Gao is not angry, he just smiles and listens to everyone's complaints, he understands their grievances, and he was locked up in the imperial capital for seven or eight days, sneaked into Pengcheng in batches, and was locked up for another four or five days, and it was uncomfortable for anyone to change.
In this operation, except for him, no one knew that they were actually sent by King Qin, and everyone was contacted by him Song Gao.
"There are two more days, you don't have to worry," Song Gao said with a smile after everyone finished speaking, and everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and after a little quiet meeting, it immediately became lively again.
After everyone discussed a few words, Song Gao raised his hand to let the big guy be quiet, and then asked people to call out all the people in the room, and after a while, seventeen people were in this concentration.
Song Gao looked at everyone, hugged his fists and said: " This time, Song is very grateful, but this time the matter is very dangerous, our opponent is very likely to be a grandmaster-level master, so, we can't meet the enemy alone, our strategy is to form a formation to encircle and kill, at least drag to our side of the master to help, everyone, according to your cultivation characteristics, I will divide you into three groups, each group of five people, each of them has a crossbow, you are all masters, know how to deal with it, I won't say much about this, as for the crossbow, I will send it later, all of them are strong crossbows, five stone strong crossbows. ”
Song Gao did not hide it, everyone was a little surprised, the five-stone strong crossbow has surpassed the military crossbow, the military crossbow is about three stones, the five-stone crossbow is also considered a high-end product in the military products, this kind of five-stone crossbow folk workshops will not be made, only the workshop of the imperial court military can be made, the imperial court in order to prevent this kind of crossbow from flowing into the people, each crossbow has a mark, whoever loses it, must report to the imperial court.
"Five-stone crossbow, old Song, okay, how did you get such a treasure?" asked a short man in a black robe curiously.
Song Gao smiled slightly and did not answer, this batch of crossbows was assigned to him by King Qin, not now, but before, the mark on the crossbow has long been erased, this operation, Song Gao took out this batch of crossbows.
Song Gao shouted outside, and several men in black came in with three boxes each, put the boxes on the ground, and then turned around and went out, and after a while, seventeen boxes were piled up in the room into two hills.
"Everyone take one each, get familiar with it in the past two days, these five stone crossbows are different from three stone crossbows, it is more troublesome to get on the arrows, everyone, we are likely to only shoot one arrow, at most no more than two arrows, everyone must be careful, I hope that we can all get to the imperial capital safely." ”
Everyone picked up the five-stone crossbow and looked at it repeatedly, the five-stone crossbow was really different from the three-stone crossbow, the five-stone crossbow should be slightly larger, but the way to put on the arrow was a little more complicated, before the arrow was loaded, a mechanism on the crossbow should be pulled off, and then the trigger on the crossbow should be pulled, and after the bowstring was opened, the arrow was put in, and then the mechanism was pulled up.
It takes three to five breaths for a skilled hand to catch an arrow, and even more time for a new hand.
Soon, these people picked up the strong crossbow and left, they are all veterans of the rivers and lakes, they know what is important, if they can release one more arrow, at the critical moment, they can save their lives.
Qin Wanqing and Wen Wanyun also got a strong crossbow, and the two of them tried it, feeling that the operation of this five-stone crossbow was too complicated and not suitable for people in the rivers and lakes, and they didn't want to use this, but another middle-aged woman in colorful clothes in the same room was very serious about getting familiar with this five-stone crossbow.
"Two sisters, don't look at the complicated operation of this crossbow, it doesn't seem to be suitable for us Jianghu people, but you can shoot the enemy from a long distance, Brother Song is thoughtful, we are on the water, fighting on the water, the best weapon is this strong crossbow, the two girls will understand if you think about it. ”
Qin Wanqing clearly understood that water combat is completely different from land, the enemy is almost completely unable to conceal his body, even the master of the sect must fight across the ship, so the target is obvious, when he crosses the ship, he can hit it with arrows, even if he can't kill the opponent, he can stop it.
"Thank you, Sister Hong. ”
The two women immediately began to familiarize themselves with the crossbow arrows, and when they were grouped, the two women were divided into a group, which was also what they requested, and soon the woman in colorful clothes also joined in, she told Qin Wanqing and Wen Wanyun that her name was Hong Zi, but that's all, neither of the two women knew her teacher, nor did she know if she was a member of a gang.
Obviously, these people from all over the world didn't talk about their identities, Qin Wanqing and Wen Wanyun didn't say either, there was only one one who knew everyone's identity, Song Gao.
Gao Tang.
At the mouth of the wide canal, a fleet of ships pulled their sails and sailed into the Yellow River as fast as a galloping horse, with light blue flags hanging on the masts, small stone throwers and siege crossbows on the bows, and the whole fleet was murderous, and the ships along the way saw this, and hid to the side from afar.
"Alas, I don't know who is going to be unlucky!"
A tax collector on the dock looked at the fleet and let out a long sigh.
Not far away, a man in tattered clothes also stared deeply at the fleet, and after a while, the man in sackcloth got up, and the whole robe, the robe was very tattered, and the dark skin inside could be seen in many places.
The Mai man carried a broken bowl, staggered away from the dock, nodded to the soldiers guarding the gate at the city gate, and the soldiers waved him impatiently to let him in.
After a while, a bird rose into the air, flapped its wings in the air, and flew southwest. > [Important notice of this site: Please use the free APP of this site, no ads, no errors, fast updates, members synchronize the bookshelf, please pay attention to the WeChat public account zuopingshuji (press and hold three seconds to copy) to download the mobile client!
