The night attack on Yuanri was finally over. From the warning sent by the sentry ship to the battle, and now to the rescue, it took more than an hour.
There is no victory or joy in this kind of internal fighting between Chang people, only silent banter.
The beach was full of people kneeling, all of them were members of Luo Yundao's boat master.
When Chu Qing dragged his exhausted body ashore, he took a quick glance and felt mixed emotions in his heart.
When the army becomes a pawn for big shots to compete for power, the country is not far away from playing with eggs.
Although the battle lasted only a short time, there was a lot of work to be done to deal with the aftermath. More and more warships and small boats stopped at the shore. Tao Ruolin came over and felt a little achy when she saw Chu Qing standing there with a tired face. .
Tao Weiran, who had a hoarse voice, also ran over: "Dudu, take a rest for a while, leave this place to me and the eldest lady."
"It's okay, call everyone."
"good."
Chu Qing squatted on the ground out of habit.
In fact, this action is very indecent. For a person of Chu Qing's status, it is extremely indecent.
But I don't know when, maybe in Beijing or at the border, he naturally got into this habit.
Many people are accustomed to squatting. The military and civilians are all accustomed to squatting on the ground. If they stand up, the standing big shots will find them an eyesore.
Gradually, Chu Qing got used to squatting. His body was a little tired, but his heart was not tired. He could see the faces of the troops and the people more clearly, which were vivid and honest.
It seems that when he squats down, the people and soldiers who are also squatting next to him will relax their vigilance towards him and put down some of their guard. It is just a movement, but it expresses a lot of emotions.
People who are aloof should squat more often. Their eyes are too high and they look too far away. They cannot see what the people squatting or kneeling next to them look like. They cannot see what the road under their feet has become. It is also easy to kick Xiaomin, and it is easy to get used to it after kicking.
The friends all gathered over.
"Master." Fu San called softly, and Chu Qing's thoughts were brought back to reality. He stood up, his legs feeling numb.
Looking across, Chu Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he asked with some difficulty: "Wang Tianyu...didn't you find him?"
Qiu Baoyu held back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes: "If you ask, drive everyone off the boat and take the Baoyu by yourself..."
Qiu Baoyu couldn't say a word anymore. He was the only friend in his life. For the first time, he mentioned the three words Baoyu's name. He didn't feel ashamed or angry and wanted to cry.
Everyone knows that Wang Tianyu’s Baoyu is Qiu Baoyu. This is Wang Tianyu’s first and only ship. Whenever others mention the Baoyu, Qiu Baoyu is always angry, ashamed, and feels that others The look in his eyes was weird.
But today, Qiu Baoyu wanted to cry, wanted to go back to the sea, let his tears fall into the sea, turn into sea water, let Wang Tianyu feel the temperature of the tears, and let the body that was already extremely cold feel some warmth.
The friends all lowered their heads. Chen Dinglan clenched his fists tightly, holding a ball of fire in his heart.
Many people were injured, not seriously, but mostly scary to look at, especially Brother Dajun, who would always cough involuntarily and his body was pitch black.
Chu Qing also did not show his sadness, took a deep breath and spoke.
"Tao Weiran."
"The official is here."
"I and Luzhu continued to settle the people, sent more manpower, and told the people of Luo Yundao that if they have clansmen joining the army in Guanghuai Road, there is no need to be afraid. I will not kill anyone or any army. I know that they will also obey orders. , those who died in battle, I will try my best to collect their bodies."
"Sir." Wang Tongtong asked stupidly: "But what if he is a relative of the captain or the general? Will the captain and the general be spared?"
It was obviously a matter of being scolded, but Chu Qing did not get angry and said calmly: "If you are a relative of the captain or the general, you will definitely not be in Luo Yundao, let alone come to work."
Ertong's face turned red and he became silent.
"Chen Shuai."
Chen Dinglan cupped his hands and said, "The general will be here."
"Reducing the soldiers, I'll trouble Chen Shuai to arrange them. It's the same as the arrangement of Luo Yundao's boat division, but there is no need to train troops. Send some Hu female tribesmen to watch them. Tonight is Yuan Ye. Let them eat and drink enough. Tomorrow , work together with the people, but my tolerance has limits, any dissatisfied soldier, even if there is rejection in his eyes, will be killed."
Chen Dinglan hesitated, but finally nodded and shouted "Wei."
"Wenya."
"The end will be here."
Chu Qing's face finally had emotion, but it was a bit cold.
"At Chenshi, go to Guocheng. From Guocheng, mobilize ten thousand Hu female tribesmen. March to Guanghuai Road and go straight to Fujia City. Along the way, you will go to Chongfu and garrison. All the troops will be recruited. If you don't follow, you will be killed. Kill the general, but he will not obey, kill the captain, and still refuse to obey, kill the captain of the corps, but still refuse to obey, and behead them all."
Wen Ya's face froze, and Chu Qing did not give the former any chance to ask questions: "Yuan month ago, I wanted to see the ships and letters from Fujia City. The letters were signed by Wen Ya, the deputy general of the Dachang Dynasty naval commander Guanghuaidao. Yin Xin, if you can’t do it, go back to Shang Yundao and continue to be your lieutenant general!”
Wen Ya knelt down on one knee without any further hesitation: "Wei."
"Nangong Ping."
"The students are here."
"Tomorrow, you and Wen Fushuai will set off together. All the officials from the cities, prefectures, and counties along the way, starting from the seventh grade and above, will be replaced. You would rather have no one in charge, and there is no need for those people to serve as officials. They will all be taken to Fujia City. In the military camp, those who do not follow will be killed without mercy, and the officialdom of Guanghuai Dao will be reorganized after seizing the Guanghuai Dao boat division."
"Students obey."
"King Qi."
Chen Yan stood up without any hesitation, looking like he was waiting to give orders.
"Send people back to Beijing quickly and ask Master Tao Yao to send all the students from Hanmen Academy who are over 16 years old and have studied for more than one year, as well as the managers of the properties under our Chu and Tao families, including Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs. At least fifty stewards, shopkeepers, and accountants were dispatched to come with the students, and were escorted by the bodyguards of the Fujia Escort Bureau. After arrangements were made, they were stationed in Guocheng. At the same time, a notice was issued to calm the people. When the three East China Sea Roads entered the war, the common people could leave without leaving. You can leave the Three Roads of the East China Sea, or go to Guocheng, Youcheng, and Fujia City to receive high wages to help the military build coastal defense towers, docks, and shipyards. You can also write notices how to treat civilians in Youcheng, and write them If the enemy and thieves attack, the people do not need to enter the auxiliary barracks and can still leave on their own. What you have to do is to use any means to make the people believe what the notice says."
"good!"
"Sheng Fu is handsome."
"The end will be here."
"Continue to rescue those who fall into the water, friend or foe alike."
"only."
"Xiao Yi."
"The end will be here."
"Although the possibility of returning to the sea is very low, we should not take it lightly. All ships capable of combat are cruising on the sea to be on guard. Sentries are released hundreds of miles away. Sentries and warships are quickly replenished with gunpowder crossbows."
"only."
"Changxian."
"The students are here."
"I'll give you three thousand men and horses to go to Guanghuai Road with Liao Wenzhi." Chu Qing gritted his teeth: "Those aristocratic families, the aristocratic families who conspired with the boat master, don't keep any of them, the old man, demoted to a commoner, a woman, forced If you are married to the Marine Corps Army, your direct children will be beheaded. The side children and those under the age of sixteen will have all the family property taken away and will be sent to join the army. Anyone who refuses to obey will be beheaded on the spot!"
"Students obey."
"Lin Shi."
"The end will be here."
"You are responsible for all the Ying thieves, generals of the Guanghuai Taoist Marine Division, school captains, corps commanders, and all people of rank." Chu Qing almost gritted his teeth and said, "I want to know three things. First, who is in charge? This night attack, two, Japanese thieves..."
Before he finished speaking, a loud curse suddenly came from the distance.
"Fuck you, brother, I'm Dudu, you're the f*cking brat of Guanghuai Zhoushi... Oh, brother, please stop making trouble, and don't point your divine arm crossbow at your father's face..."
