After Sun Lei explained the matter, he took the people to the navy camp. Qinbei Pavilion
"elder brother!"
San Ruan and Fei Bao led people to greet Sun Lei at the entrance of Shuizhai.
"Go in and talk!"
Sun Lei nodded.
"Brother, this is our navy's plan to attack Dengzhou!"
Ruan Xiaoer handed a document to Sun Lei, with the Dengzhou Operation Plan crookedly written on it. Although the handwriting was not pretty, it did not affect the recognition.
"You wrote it?"
Sun Lei looked at Ruan Xiaoer and smiled.
"I made my brother laugh. I originally wanted Brother Fei Bao to write it, but this..."
Ruan Xiaoer's face turned red. In front of him were all the masterminds of the cottage. They were all talented in civil and military affairs, and they were also good at calligraphy. He couldn't get on stage with his ugly calligraphy.
"Yes, there is progress. Last time I read Xiaoqi's handwriting, it was called chicken feet."
Sun Lei joked with a smile, San Ruan only attended a private school in the village for a year, and was barely literate. His handwriting was indeed not good, but Ruan Xiaoer's attitude towards learning was very good, and he might not be able to make achievements in time. My brother is happy to see his brother eager to learn.
"Brother, my little brother is also studying seriously. It's just that it's too difficult to get this one. The knife is better!"
Ruan Xiaoqi said with a smile.
"In ancient times, there was Amen under Wu, and today there is a waiter in Liangshan. It's a good story!"
Wen Huanzhang said with a smile that Ruan Xiaoer was the most eager to learn in the navy.
"Haha, Lu Meng is a powerful warrior on the water. Guan Yu was defeated by him and he took back Jingzhou in one fell swoop. Xiaoer is also a powerful warrior on the water, so you have to work hard!"
Seeing that Ruan Xiaoer didn't understand anything about Wuxia Amen Liangshan Xiaoer, Sun Lei explained with a smile.
Opening the battle plan, Sun Lei read it in detail.
"Well, not bad! A good idea!"
After reading it, Sun Lei handed the plan to Xiao Jiasui and others and said with a smile.
"It's really a different approach!"
Xiao Jiasui, Wen Huanzhang, and Li Zhu all brightened up when they saw it.
The plan of Ruan Xiaoer and others was for the navy to hide at night and day, sneak into the sea along the Yellow River, and then reach Dengzhou along the Bohai Sea, capture Shamen Island and other islands offshore of Dengzhou, and then fight with the Dengzhou navy. Avoiding the defenders of Dengzhou, they took advantage of Liangshan's strong and powerful artillery to annihilate the Dengzhou navy at sea, and then found a way to capture Dengzhou.
"As long as we control this Salmon Island, we will cut off the way from Dengzhou to cross the sea to Liaodong!"
Li Zhu didn't know much about the situation in Dengzhou. After reading the battle plan, he realized the importance of Salmon Island. It was an archipelago hanging alone in the sea sixty miles north of Dengzhou. This location was extremely deadly.
"Salmon Island, this is not a kind place!"
Pei Xuan frowned and said, as a former Liugu Kongmu who was sent to Salmon Island, he knew this place better than the average person.
"In the early years of the Song Dynasty, the places of exile were divided into ten levels. In order of severity, they were: Bencheng, Benzhou, neighboring states, five hundred miles, one thousand miles, two thousand miles, three thousand miles, Guangnan, and far evil. Land, Salmon Island. In the first year of Zhe Zong Yuanfu, the exile was changed to nine levels. In the end, it was still the Far Evil State Army and Salmon Island."
"Far from the military prefectures, such as: Nan'en, Xinxun, Mei, Gao, Lei, Hua, Bin, Rong, Qiongzhou, Wan'an, Changhua, Jiyangjun and other smoky places, the death rate of prisoners is about seven Eighty percent, if you are sent to Salmon Island, the mortality rate is as high as 99%! In other words, being sent there is almost equal to death."
Pei Xuan saw everyone looking over and explained.
"So vicious?"
Everyone was shocked. Distribution was supposed to be an alternative to the death penalty. If the mortality rate is over 90%, does that not mean it is a death sentence?
"My little brother learned before when I was in Jingzhao Mansion that the area of Salmon Island is limited. There are more than 300 prisoners of war every year. It is almost impossible for those who were convicts to be amnesty. After so many years, a small island should have been overcrowded, but Salmon Island is year after year. It can take in people, and it is said that the number of prisoners on the island has never exceeded two hundred."
Pei Xuan said.
These words made everyone take a breath. How could Salmon Island continue to be a place of distribution for decades? Tens of thousands of prisoners were sent to prison, but less than 200 survived. This was no longer a narrow escape, but a tenth death! There is no such high mortality rate on the battlefield.
"But in what capacity do you want to capture and occupy Salmon Island?"
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 said, this is the most troublesome. Once the identities of the navy are exposed, the court will definitely mobilize troops to encircle and suppress them.
"I have an idea, Xiaoqi, come here!"
Sun Lei smiled and waved Ruan Xiaoqi aside.
"Brother, is this okay?"
After a while, Ruan Xiaoqi squirmed and seemed embarrassed.
"It's perfect! Xiao Qi, you were born to do this! What a blessing from God!"
Sun Lei pulled Ruan Xiaoqi to the front of everyone.
At this time, Ruan Xiaoqi changed out of the bandit's standard animal skin clothes, and was wearing a brown linen clothes crookedly, with the skirt open, one eye covered by a black eyepatch, a triangle scarf on his head, and a figure 8 stuck on it. Hu, wearing a scarf around his waist and holding a saber in his hand, coupled with Ruan Xiaoqi's ferocious face, looked like he had a sinister evil intent.
"Does it look like a pirate?"
Sun Lei pointed at Ruan Xiaoqi and said to everyone with a smile.
"pirate?"
Everyone is very unfamiliar with this word. As inland people, they don’t even have any idea about the sea.
"Brother, this is a clever plan! Pretending to be a pirate can deceive others. Although the court will react, it will not take it seriously. Moreover, the court's naval forces are still in the south with their limited combat power. We are not afraid if they come."
Fei Bao was overjoyed to hear that their biggest trouble was easily resolved by Sun Lei.
Due to the war in the Western Regions and the interruption of trade routes, in order to increase trade tax revenue, the imperial court established the Municipal Shipping Department, and set up Municipal Shipping Department offices in Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Mingzhou, Hangzhou, Mizhou and other places to manage overseas trade, collect taxes, and acquire special purchases for the imperial court. Products and management of foreign businessmen, etc.
Maritime trade has also given rise to many bandits. The South is collectively known as pirates. They rely on maritime routes to rob ships and cargo, and even the navy cannot help it.
"So you are going out this time as pirates, and the area around Salmen Island is your stronghold."
Sun Lei said with a smile.
"Brother, didn't you capture Dengzhou?"
Ruan Xiaoqi said in confusion.
"You are all naval forces, how can you attack a city, let alone a lonely city that cannot be defended. Originally, I just wanted you to destroy the Dengzhou navy, and then control the sea area and Dengzhou."
Sun Lei patted Ruan Xiaoqi on the shoulder and said, Dengzhou is the gateway to the east. Even if the navy captures Dengzhou, it is impossible to hold it. Unless everyone in Liangshan abandons Shuibo and kills Dengzhou together, they will occupy Dengzhou in the future. The mountain is king.
"I thought my brother really wanted us to attack the city!"
Ruan Xiaoqi suddenly realized that only the fourth battalion of the navy was sent out for this expedition, and no cavalry or infantry troops were brought with them. He was still wondering how it could be arranged like this.
"Brother, don't worry. When our Liangshan army arrives, even a sampan in Dengzhou can't even be thought of entering the water!"
Ruan Xiaoer clasped his fists at Sun Lei and promised.
"I believe!"
Sun Lei patted Ruan Xiaoer on the shoulder and smiled.
"In addition, Military Master Xu will go with you this time. Military Master Xu will tell you some things later!"
Sun Lei added that he was a little worried about the navy going alone, so he asked Xu Guanzhong to go with him.
Next, Sun Lei visited the navy's training. There will be naval battles in the future. The wind and waves at sea are far more terrifying than inland. A giant ship that is as stable as a mountain in the water is nothing more than a small boat in the sea.
So Fei Bao and others came up with a crooked idea, asking the soldiers to tie ropes and hang them on the mast, and then the ship swayed forward in the wind and waves, causing the ship to sway violently and the soldiers to sway disorderly like a pendulum. , Bingzu was vomiting at first, but he got used to it after a few days.
