In the dark night, at the port outside Anshi City, after many smuggling operations, the entire port is still listed as a key guard target. The fishermen who used to fish here have long been taken there by Jin Sanshun without knowing it, leaving behind His men.
These people are also assigned fishing tasks on weekdays, otherwise the lack of supply of marine fish in Anshi City would make people suspicious.
Jin Sanshun concealed himself very well, and his concealing behavior made the guarding men dissatisfied.
It is true that they all work for money, but they all think that they are stick soldiers and that fishing should be left to fishermen.
The complaint in their hearts was naturally because they were not serious about their work. In addition, winter was coming and the seaside was extremely cold at night, so they who were supposed to be keeping vigil at night were extremely lax.
There were only a few torches burning, and most of the places where people should be standing guard were unmanned.
In the darkness, several warships came to the seaside near the port.
After these warships anchored, they lowered several small boats on board. Then the soldiers descended from the warships onto the small boats in order. When the boats were full, they began to row slowly towards the seaside.
After working continuously for an hour, more than 500 soldiers from the Tang Dynasty came ashore. Then they were divided into two groups. Some of them moved toward the outpost on the edge of the port, while the other group moved toward the harbor with a look.
In the dark port, in a room where the guards lived, a soldier opened his eyes in the darkness. His name was Jin Xiuxian. He was a native gangster who was originally from Bangzi City. He finally came to Anshi City because of various problems.
In Anshi City, he got involved with Jin Shanshun's men without much incident. After several transfers, he joined Jin Shanshun's direct troops. Then he was dropped to the port of Anshi City and participated in the smuggling business.
The job was not difficult, and the money was quite generous. Kim Soo-hyun didn’t complain too much about it. Of course, later on, the fishermen were taken away by Kim Sam-soon. In order to prevent mistakes, Kim Sam-soon started letting them fish, and Kim Soo-hyun’s mentality changed. .
Why?
Why are we allowed to fish?
We are stick soldiers, okay. In the past, we only paid you back because you were the city lord. Now, you have turned us into fishermen. Will we be silenced in the future?
This kind of resentment is actually not just Kim Soo Hyun, but almost all sticks are like this.
The reason why Kim Soo-hyun opened his eyes was because it was his turn to guard. Kim Soo-hyun looked at his colleagues who were sleeping happily in the first half of the post next to him, listened to the howling of the cold wind outside the window, and felt the warmth of his own bed.
never mind
not going
Anyway, no matter how cold the night is, there are still people coming.
I froze to death on the way, and besides, there were no people sailing at night. If there were people coming from Anshi City, there would be gatekeepers and bayonet guards at the port.
Kim Soo Hyun covered his head and continued to sleep.
Kim Soo Hyun didn't know that this was actually his eternal sleep.
At the edge of the trestle in the dark night, under the leadership of Cui Si, Gan Ning's flagship docked on the shore. The lengthened trestle could just allow the entire flagship to dock here.
The warship was stable, with several horizontal plates laid down.
Gan Ning ordered: "Everyone disembarks from the ship."
"promise"
Following Gan Ning's order, the elite soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet on the ship slid down from the horizontal platform. After standing firm, three of them formed a team of five and moved toward the interior of the port.
Outside the watchtower guarding the city gate of the port in the dark night, two elite shooters from the East China Sea Fleet aimed at the stick soldiers who were napping on the watchtower.
Whizzing
Two arrows flew out and accurately hit the heads of the two men. The sharp armor-piercing arrows pierced their heads, and the two died in their sleep.
After taking down the guarding stick soldiers from the guard tower, the remaining soldiers began to hook the guard tower with ropes and slowly climbed in.
The first batch of soldiers who were afraid of coming in were on guard and waiting for their follow-up support. When the number of people who came in reached 10, they started to take action.
One person was assigned to open the door, and the remaining people moved towards the door of the barracks nearest to them.
In the dark night, they stood guard at the door with knives. If anyone came out, they would be killed directly.
However, the reality is often different from what was imagined. Until the door opens, a large group of people rush in, and people come out of Bangzi's barracks.
Then there was the matter of inside and outside cooperation. Pairs of soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet entered Bangzi's barracks, held a horizontal knife in one hand and covered the other's mouth and nose and stabbed it through their heart.
The harvest in the dark lasted for less than half an hour, and all the ports outside Anshi City came under the control of the East China Sea Fleet.
Gan Ning and Cui Si got off the ship and watched his soldiers capture the entire port. Gan Ning expressed his satisfaction and thanked Cui Si at the same time: "Thank you, Fourth Master of the Cui family, for your help. Otherwise, according to the trestle specifications of the previous port, It is difficult for my warship to dock."
Who is Gan Ning? Li Mingda's confidant general, the highest officer of the East China Sea Fleet, the fierce general who broke into the Imperial Palace of the Japanese Island Kingdom. He Cui Si is just a smuggler. If the family is running rampant, he may still be able to accept it with his head held high. Now Well, we can only say humbly: "General, you're welcome, this is our duty, we all serve His Majesty."
Cui Si's words were very knowledgeable. Not only did he eliminate his smuggling identity, but he also drew closer to Gan Ning.
You see we are all colleagues.
Gan Ning smiled and saw that we were still good friends even if he didn't tell the truth. Besides, through the conversations along the way, Gan Ning quite liked Cui Si. After all, Gan Ning used to be in the world, so for a rule-abiding person like Cui Si, Gan Ning smiled. like very much.
"Yes, they are all working for His Majesty. Do you still need Fourth Master Cui's help next?"
Cui Si waved his hand: "Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. If you have anything to do, please give me your orders~!"
Gan Ning pointed to the ships and the pier: "There will be ships docking later, and I will need your help in commanding them. I will miss you in my credit book later."
Credit book~!
Military merit~!
Cui Si's eyes lit up, this is a good thing. The Tang Dynasty valued military merit the most, and Li Mingda also paid special attention to the army. Now that Gan Ning said this, it meant that Gan Ning approved of his actions. The Cui family really No worries.
Cui Si hurriedly saluted Gan Ning: "Thank you, general. I will do my best to ensure that the follow-up troops can get ashore quickly."
Seeing Cui Si's attitude, Gan Ning was very satisfied and patted Cui Si on the shoulder: "Then let's start now. I will lead the team to the front."
"promise"
Gan Ning began to reorganize the port and clear out the obstructive buildings in the port, and began to add new trestles overnight to prepare the infrastructure for the landing of subsequent troops.
As time passed, the sun rose from the sea. After a night of fighting, three newly built trestles were built inside the port. The East China Sea Fleet and 8,000 soldiers were logged in. Except for the 2,000 soldiers on guard, the rest all joined the port. Expansion work in progress.
