Chapter 490: Salmon Island and the Pirates

After Sun Lei explained the matter, he took people to the naval camp. Pro-Shell Pavilion

"Brother!"

Sanruan and Fei Bao took people to greet Sun Lei at the gate of the water village.

"Go in and talk!"

Sun Lei nodded and said.

"Brother, this is our plan for the navy to fight Dengzhou!"

Ruan Xiaoer handed a document to Sun Lei, on which was written crookedly the Dengzhou battle plan, although the handwriting was not good-looking, it did not affect the recognition.

"You wrote that?"

Sun Lei looked at Ruan Xiaoer and smiled.

"Let my brother see and laugh, I originally wanted Brother Fei Bao to write it, this ......"

Ruan Xiaoer's face turned red, and there were all copycat think tanks in front of him, all of them were both civil and military, and they even had a good hand, and his ugly words were really unacceptable.

"Yes, there is progress, I read Xiao Qi's words last time, and that's called chicken feet."

Sun Lei smiled and joked, San Ruan only went to a private school in the village for a year, and he was barely literate, and his handwriting was really bad, but Ruan Xiaoer's attitude towards learning was very good.

"Brother, the younger brother is also learning seriously, but this is too difficult to take, and the knife is more convenient!"

Ruan Xiaoqi said with a smile.

"In ancient times, there was Wuxia Ameng, and now there is Liangshan Xiaoer, it is also a good story!"

Wen Huanzhang said with a smile, Ruan Xiaoer is the most studious in the navy.

"Haha, Lu Mengna is a fierce general on the water, Guan Yu was defeated in his hands, and he recovered Jingzhou in one fell swoop, Xiao Er is also a fierce general of the water army, you have to come on!"

Sun Lei saw that Ruan Xiaoer didn't understand anything about Wuxia Ameng Liangshan Xiaoer, and explained with a smile.

Flipping through the battle plan, Sun Lei read it in detail.

"Well, that's good! Great idea! ”

After reading it, Sun Lei handed the plan to Xiao Jiasui and the others and said with a smile.

"It's really a different way!"

Xiao Jiasui, Wen Huanzhang, and Li Zhu were all stunned.

Ruan Xiaoer and others' plan was to go out day and night, hide along the Yellow River into the sea, and then follow the Bohai Sea all the way to Dengzhou, capture Shamen Island and other islands off the coast of Dengzhou, and then fight with the Dengzhou navy, avoid the Dengzhou defenders, take advantage of the Liangshan anchorage ships and artillery to completely annihilate the Dengzhou navy at sea, and then find a way to capture Dengzhou.

"As long as you control this Shamen Island, it will be considered as cutting off the road to Liaodong from Dengzhou to cross the sea!"

Li Zhu didn't know much about the situation in Dengzhou, and after reading the battle plan, he knew the importance of Salmon Island, which was isolated in the sea sixty miles north of Dengzhou, and it was still an archipelago, which was extremely deadly.

"Salmon Island, this is not a good place!"

Pei Xuan frowned and said, as a former six-eucalyptus Kongmu, and he was assigned to Salmon Island, he knows this place better than ordinary people.

"In the early years of the Great Song Dynasty, the places of exile were divided into ten ranks, which were in order of severity, namely: Bencheng, Benzhou, Linzhou, Five Hundred Li, One Thousand Li, Two Thousand Li, Three Thousand Li, Guangnan, Far Badland, and Shamon Island. By the first year of Zhezong Yuanfu, the place of exile was changed to nine ranks, and finally it was the Far Evil State Army and Shamen Island. ”

"Far from the evil military prefectures, such as: Nan'en, Xinxun, Mei, Gao, Lei, Hua, Bin, Rong, Qiongzhou, Wan'an, Changhua, Jiyang Army and other miasma places, the death rate of prisoners is about seventy or eighty percent, if it is assigned to Salmon Island, the mortality rate is as high as nine out of nine! In other words, the distribution of the past is almost equal to death. ”

Pei Xuan saw everyone looking over and explained.

"So vicious?"

Everyone was shocked, the distribution was originally a punishment instead of the death penalty, if the mortality rate was as high as more than ninety, it was not equivalent to a death sentence?

"When the younger brother was in Jingzhao Mansion before, I learned that the area of Salmon Island is limited, and there are more than 300 prisoners who are convicted of assassination every year, and it is almost impossible for those who are convicted of assassination here to be amnesty, so many years have passed, and a small island should have been overcrowded, but Salmon Island can accept people every year, and it is said that the number of prisoners on the island has never exceeded 200."

Pei Xuan said.

These words made everyone gasp, how could Salmon Island continue to be a distribution place for decades, and less than 200 prisoners survived to tens of thousands of prisoners, which is no longer nine deaths and one life, ten deaths and no life! There was also no such high mortality rate on the battlefield.

"But in what capacity do you want to take Salmon Island and occupy it?"

Sun Lei doesn't care where Salmon Island is, as long as this place is available.

"Brother, we haven't thought about this yet."

Ruan Xiaowu opened his mouth and said, this is the most troublesome, once the identity of the navy army is exposed, the imperial court will definitely deploy troops to encircle and suppress it.

"I have an idea, Xiao Qi come here!"

Sun Lei smiled and beckoned Ruan Xiaoqi to the side.

"Brother, is this okay?"

After a while, Ruan Xiaoqi squirmed for a while, and seemed to be very embarrassed.

"It was just perfect! Xiao Qi, you were born to do this! It's really a feast! ”

Sun Lei pulled Ruan Xiaoqi to everyone.

At this time, Ruan Xiaoqi changed out of the animal skin clothes that the bandits were equipped with, and was wearing a brown linen dress crookedly, with an open placket, one eye covered by a black blindfold, a triangular scarf on his head, and a mustache sticked, with a scarf around his waist, and a saber in his hand.

"Like a pirate?"

Sun Lei smiled and pointed at Ruan Xiaoqi and said to everyone.

"Pirates?"

People are very unfamiliar with this word, and as an inland person, they don't even have any concept of the sea.

"Brother's plan is wonderful! Pretending to be a pirate can hide people's eyes and ears, although the court will react, but it will not pay much attention to it, and the imperial court navy is still in the south with that bit of combat effectiveness, and we are not afraid of coming. ”

Fei Bao was overjoyed when he heard about the past, and their biggest trouble was easily resolved by Sun Lei.

Because of the war in the Western Regions and the severance of trade routes, in order to increase trade taxes, the imperial court set up the Municipal Shipping Division, and set up Municipal Shipping Offices in Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Mingzhou, Hangzhou, Mizhou and other places to manage overseas trade, collect taxes, purchase goods exclusively purchased by the imperial court, and manage foreign merchants.

The maritime trade correspondingly also bred a lot of bandits, and the south was collectively known as the Haikou bandits, who relied on the sea routes to plunder ships and goods, and the sailors could not stop them.

"So you are going out this time as pirates, and the vicinity of Salmon Island is your stronghold."

Sun Lei said with a smile.

"Brother, didn't you beat Dengzhou?"

Ruan Xiaoqi said suspiciously.

"You are all naval troops, how can you attack the city, not to mention that the lonely city cannot be defended, originally I just wanted you to destroy the Dengzhou Naval Division, and then control the sea area and control Dengzhou."

Sun Lei patted Ruan Xiaoqi on the shoulder and said, Dengzhou is the gateway to the east, and it is impossible for the naval army to defend Dengzhou Mansion even if it is defeated, unless everyone in Liangshan gives up Shuibo and kills Dengzhou together, and then occupies the mountain in Dengzhou as the king.

"I thought my brother was really going to attack the city!"

Ruan Xiaoqi suddenly realized that only the fourth battalion of the navy army was on the expedition this time, and he didn't bring any of the horse army and infantry army, and he wondered how he could arrange it like this.

"Brother, don't worry, the day my Liangshan army arrives, Dengzhou is a sampan, don't think about going into the water!"

Ruan Xiaoer hugged his fist at Sun Lei and promised.

"I believe it!"

Sun Lei patted Ruan Xiaoer's shoulder and smiled.

"In addition, this time Xu Junshi will go with you, there are some things that Xu Junshi will tell you later!"

Sun Lei added that he was still a little worried about the sailor alone, so he asked Xu Guanzhong to go with him.

Next, Sun Lei visited the training of the navy, and then it was a naval battle, the wind and waves at sea were far more terrible than those inland, and the giant ship that was as stable as a mountain in the water was just a flat boat in the sea.

So Fei Bao and the others came up with a crooked idea, let the soldiers tie up the ropes and hang them on the mast, and then the ship tossed forward in the wind and waves, so that the ship swayed very badly, and the soldiers shook like a pendulum in disorder, and the soldiers vomited at first, but after a few days, they got used to it.
