Several warships are now the main force. After several discussions, Liang Chuan decided to let Su Wei command the fleet. After all, artillery will still be used to bombard the enemy.
And the fish charm is no joke.
If you let one of your own people take it and one of them can't get the answer right, something goes wrong. When the time comes, the soldiers won't be available, and many problems may be involved.
The main person behind this was Empress Dowager Liu, and Liang Chuan didn't want Liu E to be in a passive position again because of this incident. This old man just wants to spend his last days in peace. He no longer has the energy to participate in the disputes in the court, so he can no longer drag her into the water.
The safest thing is for Liang Chuan to take people to Longhai and Tongan.
The fleet was divided into one, with only Liang Chuan and Qin Jing Sun Shubo on it, while Su Wei led a large force directly to Qingyuan Port.
Longhai County is not big, and it also has its own secret stronghold, Liu'ao Island.
Most residents of Longhai County make a living by fishing. There is a Dongshan Island here, which is rich in all kinds of delicious seafood. Many dignitaries from Fujian like to eat local seafood. However, the fishermen are poor and have been struggling to survive. day to day.
After Liang Chuan landed, he sent the boat to support Su Wei, while he and three people were lightly packed, bought a few horses nearby, and hurried to Longhai County.
Fujian Road Since Xinghua County was withdrawn from the county and the army was reorganized, the military strength of various places has been strengthened. Each place organized its own regiment training, because the officials knew that even the docile Fujian people would take up arms to rebel, and if they were not careful, they would be afraid of capsizing in the gutter.
But having said that, the policy has changed in its execution.
Being a soldier is hard work. Who really knows how to take soldiers and horses to practice every two days? How much does the military expense for three meals cost? Wouldn’t it be best to save the money and go home alone to get the best of both worlds?
It happened to be midnight when we arrived in Longhai County. The streets were deserted and there were not many people. Many people in this area have gone to Nanyang to make a living. Because there is not much land in the area, the food produced is not enough for everyone to share. Many fruit trees are planted, but half of the fruit rots as soon as it is picked in the county, let alone picked in other places. County to sell.
Liang Chuan and the other three asked where the county government office was and rushed in with people.
The guard's name was Yang Lin. He was in his forties and in his prime, but his hair had fallen out. He had a bald gourd on his head and was drinking with his subordinates in the prison cell of the Yamen.
As usual, military generals patrol the camp every day, but except for a few soldiers guarding the city, everyone else has gone home to farm and fish. Whoever is still on duty in the barracks will naturally stay drunk every night!
There was a large jar of coarse rice wine, and a stick that was blackened by the fire, with a fresh fish freshly caught from the sea skewered on it.
The sudden arrival of Liang Yi and the others immediately ruined the elegance of Yang Lin and others in drinking and eating meat. Who is so blind that he can't see the official drinking? He also rode the horse into the yamen. Yang Lin became angry when he saw it. He drew the sword from his waist and slashed at Liang Chuan.
Qin Jing did not move. Sun Shubo jumped down first, took out the Japanese sword that he had snatched from the Japanese, and struck Yang Lin with one glance.
Yang Lin took a look and saw that this fat black man was actually fucking a Japanese. He must have something to do with the Japanese. Recently, fishermen have frequently come to report that the Japanese at sea are killing people and stealing goods. They are worried that they have no way to go to the sea. Unexpectedly, this man dares to come to the Yamen to act recklessly. ! "Hey, stop being so arrogant!"
Yang Lin picked up the steel sword and came towards him to kill him. Sun Shubo was not afraid of him. In his eyes, there were a few southern military generals who knew how to kick and box. He had never heard of a decent person among the Forbidden Army. These people were very good at making connections. They are great, such as the current high-level inspection officials, but their actual battlefield fighting skills are very poor.
The Japanese sword was light, but Yang Lin's steel sword opened and closed wide. The two weapons didn't touch each other at all, but the two of them went back and forth to kill each other in an inseparable manner!
Yang Lin couldn't help shouting: "What a skill!"
Sun Shubo chuckled: "Keeping your life alive is still useful!"
Yang Lin was shocked when he saw Sun Shubo's calm expression. Hearing his prepared Chinese, he immediately stopped the steel knife in his hand, his breathing was a little confused, he calmed down and said: "Who are you, and why are you holding it in your hands?" Will there be Japanese swords?"
Liang Chuan didn't even bother to dismount, and said straight to the point: "You guys who are in charge of soldiers and horses, call me out!"
Yang Lin knew something was wrong as soon as he saw it. This tone must be someone from above!
Yang Lin recognized the situation, clasped his fists and said: "I am Long Hai Guardsman Yang Lin, dare I ask you about my title!"
Liang Chuan didn't talk nonsense to him. He took out the fish talisman that Liu E had given him from his arms, waved it at Yang Lin and said, "You're a good boy, but you hid in the Yamen drinking wine during the night shift." , if the Japanese come to kill you, how will you resist!"
Yang Lin snorted coldly and said: "The Japanese come to kill me one by one, and the generals will fight to the death, so why bother asking!"
Qin Jing and Sun Shubo cheered at the same time, and Sun Shubo even shouted: "He is a good general!"
In his opinion, he is just a good general. Among the Forbidden Army, such skills are not uncommon! Just in this south, it seems extremely precious!
Yang Lin looked at Sun Shubo, and there was a golden seal on his face. He thought he was someone from the world, and asked: "Not bad at all!"
Liang Chuan said: "You are quite knowledgeable. My brother was the gun and stick instructor in the Forbidden Army back then. If you can catch a few of his moves, you are considered capable!"
Yang Lin was shocked when he heard this and said: "What do you mean by superiority and inferiority?"
Sun Shubo waved his hand, obviously not wanting to say more. Seeing this, Liang Chuan continued: "Do you recognize this thing?"
Yang Lin saw that these people were not ordinary people, so he immediately came closer and took a closer look. He was shocked when he saw that this was actually the fish talisman in the hands of their Fujian Road transfer envoy. However, after a hundred years of peace, ordinary generals could only He recognized it and had never really been in contact with it. He was stunned at the first sight. This was it. . What are you going to do?
The wine Yang Lin drank was not a good one. He was a little drunk. Fortunately, he woke up early after exercising. He immediately clasped his fists and said, "General, take your orders!"
Liang Chuan pointed at Yang Lin's nose and said: "I don't think you are a confused person. Since you know the Japanese, you must have dealt with these pirates. I'm telling you now, I'm here to tell you that the Japanese will attack Quanzhou soon." Prefecture, surrounding prefectures and counties rush to help immediately, there must be no mistake!"
Yang Lin lowered his head and said immediately: "Let me go and count the men and horses immediately!"|
All the people under Yang Lin were living at home and farming. It took a long time to summon more than 500 people. The entire county had more than 1,000 soldiers, not even half of them. !
Yang Lin was so ashamed that he almost didn't dare to face Liang Chuan. Commanding the sergeants like this at such a critical moment of using troops was enough to kill him eight hundred times!
Liang Chuan was already satisfied with being able to summon 500 troops, but he still said: "Continue to raise the follow-up troops, and be sure to get ready and march to Quanzhou Prefecture for reinforcements. I will not argue with you about the ineffective deployment of troops, you can take care of it yourself!"
Yang Lin was sweating coldly, and immediately ordered his troops and horses to go north together with Liang Chuan!
Liang Chuan is not afraid of a small number of people, but is afraid of no one. Five hundred people are enough, the number of pirates will not be too many, and a land and water attack is enough! There are still many people in Qingyuan itself. Even if their equipment is a little short, they are still capable of fighting!
On the way, Liang Chuan asked: "General Yang, I think you are also a person who is determined to serve the country. Why is your military discipline so bad?"
Yang Lin did not dare to ask Liang Chuan's identity, but judging from Liang Chuan's conversation, he knew that Liang Chuan was not an ordinary person, and his aura alone overwhelmed him.
"I'm ashamed to say that I was at odds with the magistrate. He emptied the military power in my hands. We also have some merchants in Longhai doing maritime business. We originally thought that we could make it bigger and make it a treasure like Qingyuan Port. Who would have thought that these officials and businessmen would collude , was extremely exploitative of outsiders, and the county magistrate was afraid that my soldiers would steal the wealth of the petty officials he had, so he suppressed me hard. I... was also... a last resort!"
Liang Chuan said calmly: "You are a person, but you are not on the right path. Don't worry, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely recommend you to the court!"
What a loud tone! Yang Lin was not angry, but he was overjoyed. The person who could carry the military talisman on his body must not be a small person. With the help of noble people, it seems that he will be lucky this time?
Along the way, Yang Lin kept asking about the enemy's situation. Liang Chuan could only tell him a rough idea, and he didn't know the specific situation.
The Song Dynasty fought a lot of battles on the frontier, but it had never fought a naval battle. He had long wanted to deal with these Japanese people, but he didn't have a boat and couldn't go to sea!
As soon as the large army arrived in Tong'an, it aroused local vigilance, but Liang Chuan showed his badge and easily fooled the local guard Guo Can.
As long as something in the system is endorsed by someone in the system, the credibility of the matter will be greatly improved!
Although Guo Can had doubts about Liang Chuan's identity, when he saw Yang Lin following Liang Chuan, he immediately mobilized all available troops and followed Liang Chuan to rescue Quanzhou without saying a word.
As for Yang Lin, they have been old friends for a long time. They are also colleagues who rely on each other and rely on each other. They usually have some contact with each other. After a few questions, the Japanese came to the door!
In the early years, the Japanese did not dare to violate the Song Dynasty. If they were caught, they would be repaired. In recent years, the Japanese have adopted a life-threatening attitude like crazy. Many coastal cities have been invaded, especially in economically developed places in the south. Tong'an is also one of the disaster-stricken areas.
Now that they have dared to cross states and prefectures to attack cities and plunder lands, this is no longer a trivial matter, but a serious war between countries!
These days, the Song Dynasty was not as afraid of the Japanese as the Ming Dynasty.
In the eyes of the people of the Song Dynasty, the Japanese were synonymous with thin monkeys, insidious and cunning, with very sinister personality traits. Can they fight? It seems irrelevant!
