Chapter 21: The Conquest Before the Autumn Harvest (I)

The four of them shook their bodies, looked at Shen Fei with some consternation, and then immediately lowered their heads in some panic.

Looking at the image above their heads shaking violently, Shen Fei raised his eyebrows, feeling a little proud, this way to see the image above his head is really convenient, not only can he see the potential of the other party, but also distinguish the storage of the virus, and more importantly, he can grasp the change of the other party's mentality, which is really a rare weapon for the superiors.

The boatman Taro glanced at the three subordinates, and when he saw that they all bowed their heads and remained silent, he sighed in his heart, knowing that he was the only one to answer, he knelt down respectfully and said: "My lord, the minister is guilty, and the enemy of the minister is the reed sheng army." ”

"Where is the Lusheng Water Army?" Shen Fei was stunned, he was really unfamiliar with the terrain of this world.

"The navy on Lusheng Island in the Luhai Sea at the lower end of the commercial port now controls the waterway from the east to the commercial port. In fact, we were also from the Lusheng Water Army, but we failed in the internal struggle, so we fled here. The boatman Taro said carefully, he was afraid that his lord would be afraid of the reed sheng army, and he would directly lose his people.

"Sure enough. Shen Fei nodded, this river really leads to the sea, but what is this commercial port?

"Can you tell us about the situation in the commercial port and the situation in the Lusheng Navy?" asked Shen Fei curiously.

"Yes, the commercial port is the largest port city in the world, because of the relationship of interests, several surrounding daimyo allow the merchants of the commercial port to exercise autonomy, and only need to pay a certain amount of money and grain every month. Therefore, it is the business alliance that has the final say in the commercial port, and the members in it have a net worth of at least 100,000 yuan, so it can be said that the entire commercial port controls all the commercial actions in the central region. ”

"As for the Lusheng Naval Army, it is maintained by guarding merchant ships and collecting checkpoint fees, and before we broke away from the Lusheng Naval Army, the Lusheng Naval Army had more than 100 large sea vessels. There are more than 300 medium-sized sea ships and nearly 1,000 small boats, which can be said to be the strongest and largest naval army in Luhai, and the relationship with many merchants in the commercial port is very good, so the equipment is very sophisticated. ”

The boatman Taro racked his brains to answer, but it was a pity, obviously this thing was also a relatively low-level figure among the losers of the Lusheng Navy, and some detailed information was not clear at all, so he could only tell the general situation.

"So how far is the Lusheng Naval Army from us, can you come here directly?" Shen Fei asked again, since this river can be connected to the sea. Then you have to be careful, if you let those reed sheng sailors know that there are some losers here, maybe they will send someone to destroy the dead seeds.

"The lord doesn't need to worry, the Lusheng Navy can't get through, because we are at least two sea areas from Luhai, Zhu Hai and Huihai, and there are several water armies in these two sea areas, maybe they can't compete with the Lusheng Water Army, but it is enough to block the advance of the Lusheng Water Army. In addition, the eyes of the Lusheng Navy are focused on the control of the sea area outside the commercial port, so it is also the reason why we losers have been able to survive here for so many years. Boatman Taro patted his chest and said.

"Good. In addition to fishing, the young people in your fishing village also have to practice water warfare skills diligently, although I can't use them now, but I will definitely be able to use you in the future. Shen Fei nodded and said.

"Yes. The ministers will not sleep and forget to eat to train the navy for the lord!" said the boatman Taro with the three subordinates who had just recovered, and saluted excitedly.

Later, things were simple, with this vote of a fisherman from the navy, Shen Fei didn't need to let his subordinates have more sailor training. But he didn't let them go, and let them hang around on the boat for a while, practicing water sex and reducing seasickness. It's almost time to wait. He dragged them ashore and continued their training.

As for the boatman Taro, they naturally also remember Shen Fei's instructions, practicing while fishing, because they are all young and strong, and there is no need to be specially selected, as long as the fishing action is treated as a battle, after a period of time, it also makes these guys who have degenerated into fishermen regain their strong appearance on the water, especially when they deliberately drove the boat downstream to Haikou and came back, the mental state was even different.

The days passed like this, and no one came to harass Shen Fei, which was not surprising to Shen Fei at all, it was really normal, because the autumn harvest was coming, and the whole world had entered an important moment of harvesting grain.

At this moment, all the daimyo and local tyrants will put down the struggle and start to be busy with the grain of the farmland, even those thieves are also waiting for the end of the autumn harvest, because before the autumn harvest, the food of the family is almost the same, there is nothing to rob, only after the autumn harvest, is a good time to loot. So at this time, it can be said that there is silence all over the world.

Because Shen Fei is still in the usual vacation to deal with Zhixing, especially now that the autumn harvest is coming, most of the samurai in Yamada City have gone back to deal with their Zhixing, and those who do not have Zhixing are also busy managing the farmland directly under the Yamada family, where can they take care of Shen Fei, a little warrior with the lowest status and no authority?

It's just that although everyone is busy on the farmland, Shen Fei is not ready to follow the trend, he has already gathered his sixty ashigaru, ready to attack the tree villages and mining villages that have never surrendered to him in those two territories.

Just kidding, the autumn harvest is coming, and the golden finger on the top of one's head is about to give oneself a property far beyond Zhixing, if you don't take advantage of this time to get the tree village and the mining village, will you still have to wait for the autumn harvest to pass? Wouldn't you have to wait a year to have a huge income? How important it is for you to subdue those two villages at this time in advance and get double the supplies for the next year, and at such an important juncture, how can you not act immediately?

"It's very easy to gather you today, just to see what you have become after almost two months of training. Shen Fei looked at these subordinates very indifferently, their demeanor and appearance have definitely far surpassed the ashigaru of this era, just say that this is a samurai team, and no one will believe it.

Hearing Shen Fei's words, everyone raised their heads and chests, and a hot light appeared in their eyes, they had long been envious and jealous of the four guys of the boatman Taro, and now the adults are finally going to use themselves!

"You all know that there are still two villages and many savages who have not surrendered, and now that the autumn harvest is coming, I am preparing to subdue those two villages before the autumn harvest, so the time has come for you to make meritorious contributions, whether you can establish meritorious deeds and become warriors, it is at this moment!" Shen Fei continued to cheer them on.

If it had been before, they might have been stunned, but after Shen Fei's cultural education, even if they are still not literate, they already have knowledge, and they naturally know what kind of benefits the Fengyuan family can bring to the Fengyuan family by subduing the tree village and the mining village before the autumn harvest, and if you create such benefits, you will naturally be able to obtain the knowledge and practice to become a samurai!

Seeing that everyone was in good shape, Shen Fei waved his hand: "Then let's go!"

"Ha!" everyone yelled, followed Shen Fei towards the outside of the training camp, at the gate, the two guys with copper coins on their heads, who had already taken a vote of women and children, began to give rice balls and bamboo tubes filled with water to the passing ashigaru, including Shen Fei, everyone received three rice balls and a bamboo tube of water.

After the distribution was completed, the two copper coins were also held with swords, leading specially selected strong women, carrying several packets of wound medicine and rice balls, and followed the team in a hurry. The two of them were also excited, not only in charge of logistics, but also in charge of the statistics after the two villages were conquered, this was a great time to earn samurai qualifications and knowledge and practice, where could they relax?

Shen Fei had already led people to find out the situation of the tree village and the mining village during the training period, speaking of which, these two villages were not in a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but in a state of easy to attack and difficult to defend, and there was a spacious mountain road that went directly to the door of their village.

It's not that they don't want to move to a precipitous place, but unfortunately, they used to be just lumberjacks and miners, and the products of these two jobs need to be sold in exchange for the materials they need to survive.

In such a situation, find a precipitous place to garrison? Just kidding? Not to mention the difficulty of entering and exiting, nor the inconvenience of work, the complaint of the merchant when he came to buy it was enough to dispel the people of the two villages.

Shen Fei took it for granted that the two villages valued interests and did not care about their own safety, because they were just workers, and they had not evolved into the state of local tyrants.

Shen Fei is very satisfied with this, maybe these two villages think that their villages are strong and strong, and they are not afraid of thieves, but the Black Lotus team on their side is not a thief group, but an army. Don't look at your own lack of manpower, but as long as you first conquer Tree Village, a village with only more than two hundred people, and then coerce the young and strong to kill the mining village, it should be an easy thing.

Shen Fei had this confidence, he really didn't believe that three meals with big fish and meat, and the Black Lotus team, which had been strictly trained for almost two months, couldn't do those two villages. Not only did Shen Fei think so, but even those ashigaru people thought the same way, everyone was thinking about whether they could get the samurai qualification reward this time, and they didn't think that sixty people would fight seven or eight hundred people would be too arrogant.

Shen Fei's gang has been climbing mountains with weights almost every day for almost two months, and now they are relieved of their burdens and shuttle through the mountains and forests, how easy it is to be so relaxed. It's just that the pitiful thing is that the two copper coins are followed, and they themselves don't care because they follow the training, but the strong women they bring don't have the ability anymore, so they have to wait for these strong women hard, watching Shen Fei and them go farther and farther.

Lamenting that they can't get the head, they can only work guò to gain the appreciation of the Toyogen family, although they are not happy, but they can't, because the samurai who are promoted in this way are not very popular, unless they can reach the level of the family master. But the family is generally the most extensive and powerful samurai in the family, and such a samurai may not have first-class combat exploits!

The two commissioners looked at each other with a sigh, and I am afraid that the two of them will have to follow the path of the commissioner in the future. (To be continued......)
