Chapter 329: Flattening the Water Bandits

At this time, there was a middle-aged man with a mighty appearance on the boat, shouting loudly into the air.

Although the distance is a little far, this person's full voice is transmitted to the hanging basket, and it is still very clear.

"Who are you, those in the air? Under is the son of Zhang Dingbian, a subordinate of Chen Youliang, the king of the Southern Han Dynasty, and Zhang Xiaobian, the general of the Baoguo. ”

For Zhang Dingbian, Lu Ning was very impressed, because he once listened to the Peking Opera "Poyang Lake".

I saw the old student in white clothes come out and admonish Chen Youliang with tears in his eyes.

"Lord, you won't be able to come back if you go, just let the old minister make a living here, and the soldiers of the three armies who go with you."

Chen Youliang didn't listen to him, and led all his troops in Huguang to Poyang Lake, wanting to fight Zhu Yuanzhang to the death.

As a result, Zhang Dingbian's crow naturally said that Chen Youliang went to Poyang Lake, not only did he not win the battle, but was shot through the eye by a stray arrow and died.

And Zhang Dingbian kept Chen Youliang's second son Chen Li and third son Chen Xin, incognito, and escaped from life.

But they couldn't withstand the huge offensive of the Ming army, and one day, all these people were captured, and they had no choice but to surrender.

So they lost their original surname, and the surname Chen changed to Ke Chen, and the reason why they had such a strange surname was because the place where they lived was called Ke Chen.

Moreover, they don't even have the right to be independent, and every descendant of Chen Youliang is told: All daughters-in-law who marry must be sent to the imperial court on the first night and receive Zhu Yuanzhang's "enlightenment education" before they can come back to worship the church.

By now, Zhang Dingbian had already died, but his son Zhang Xiaobian endured humiliation and survived.

He used his life to protect the two sons Chen Li and Chen Xin left behind by the lord.

So he let the hot air balloon go down a little, and used a telescope to look at Zhang Xiaobian's appearance up close, only to see that he was tall and mighty, quite like the majesty of his father Zhang Dingbian.

"It turned out to be General Zhang Xiao, disrespectful and disrespectful. It's just that you protect the water bandits against the imperial court, but you have gone astray, as long as you abandon the darkness and turn to the light now, and return to the imperial court. In the name of the minister, you will be exempted from capital punishment and incorporated into the official army. ”

Zhang Xiaobian sneered and said.

"That dog officer, who are you fooling? I ask you, how is my family? ”

Lu Ning's airship swirled around the interface of Poyang Lake, but his eyes were locked on Zhang Xiaobian on the bow of the boat.

"You said that Ke Chen Erlang, he was bold and dared to kidnap the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and he was executed by me on the spot, if you don't surrender, you will also be wiped out on the spot!"

It turned out that in order to show the combat effectiveness of the airship to the Seventh Prince just now, Lu Ning picked up the rabbit by the way, caught Ke Chenli, who was the head, and then directly collected the head.

Hearing what happened to his master, Zhang Xiaobian smiled sadly and said.

"Dog officer, do you think there is room for relaxation now? We would rather fight to the last man than surrender on our knees! ”

Lu Ning let out a long sigh and said with a smile.

"Now that your people have been gathered in the lake by me, and I have such a strong bomb, you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to hide, and you will all be wiped out soon, after you reach the underworld, don't complain about the ruthlessness of the official!"

Zhang Xiaobian didn't speak again, and many more lines shot towards the hanging basket above like flying yellow.

It's a pity that this hanging basket flies higher than the harrier eagle, and their bow and arrow are just a joke.

Lu Ning knew that if these water thieves were not exterminated in time, then it would be a joke if he wanted to build the Poyang Lake Shipyard, so he commanded ruthlessly.

"Dawu, you raise the flag and tell all the air forces to drop bombs down!"

After following Lu Ning for a long time, Zhao Dawu has learned the flag language used for command, and the red flag in his hand waved again and again, conveying Lu Ning's order.

All of a sudden, the grenade was thrown like dumplings at the fishing boats and boats underground.

The sound of explosions came and went, and the waves on the lake continued to explode several feet high.

Broken planks and blood from stumps and broken arms were all over the lake.

More than 20 minutes passed, and the bombing operation ended until no one below released the arrows.

At this time, there was no longer a single ship on the water, let alone a life.

Seeing this battle without suspense, Zhu Yu couldn't speak for a long time, and the Lu Ning in front of him was no longer the gentle and smiling image he used to be, as if he was a killing god who was not angry and arrogant.

Lu Ning passed down the flag and ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the shore.

After a while, his hot air balloon air force was back on the shore, and everyone got off the hot air balloon and ordered people to retrieve it.

Then Lu Ning said to Zhu Rong.

"The work of suppressing bandits has been completed, but the work of dredging Poyang Lake for the benefit of the people has not yet been completed. The minister may have to stay here for a while longer, and I will immediately send a guard to escort His Highness back to Beijing. ”

Now Zhu Rong was reluctant to go, and said.

"Brother Zi'an, can't I stay and preside over the affairs here with you?"

"You were ordered to inspect Poyang Lake, and now that the task of patrolling has ended, all the bandits on the lake have been cleared, and you should return to Beijing to resume your order."

Zhu Yu was still a little reluctant, so he said.

"Brother Zi'an, you wait, after returning to Beijing, I will ask my father to follow you to Poyang Lake to learn some real things. In the future, when he becomes a vassal, he will not be a wreck who eats and waits for death. ”

Lu Ning smiled and nodded: "The minister is waiting for His Highness here." ”

At this time, the parents of Jiangzhou came to Lu Ning for instructions: The households that moved from Pingyang Mansion before have not been properly resettled due to rampant banditry, how should we deal with them?

Lu Ning immediately instructed: You pass on the order of the Qin Mission, saying that the imperial court wants to dredge Poyang Lake, recruit workers for a long time, and welcome them to participate enthusiastically, and the treatment will be favorable.
