…
(It will be very busy during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so everyone should try to watch it the next morning. I will try to update in the early morning)
…
"superior!"
"Follow up quickly!"
"..."
Waves of rapid and violent shouts rang out, and the atmosphere on the two ships suddenly became "lively".
Yes, it is "lively"!
At the very least, in the eyes of Sheng Changquan and others, there is indeed a sense of happiness.
"Master, they... seem a little..."
"...Something...strange!"
Xu Changqing was a little hesitant. He followed Sheng Changquan, touched the back of his thick head, and stuttered in surprise: "Could it be that...don't they know that people might be killed or injured next?"
"Why do you feel that these people are so happy...as if they are celebrating a festival?"
Although Xu Changqing's words were a bit exaggerated, they were indeed reasonable. Looking at their expressions, those who didn't know thought something good was about to happen.
"Inside!"
"There must be something special about it, right?"
Sheng Changquan was also a little unsure. While adjusting the special "belt" around his waist, he guessed: "I guess they are all used to this kind of scene, right?"
"Perhaps this is a way for them to vent their inner emotions?"
Sheng Changquan glanced at the people in front of him and replied casually.
"Is that so?"
Xu Changqing was still a little confused.
However, at this moment, he couldn't help but have time to think more. After all, the situation had begun to become a little tense.
Because those people have shown up directly and shown their swords.
In fact, the reason why the people on this boat dare to be so active and "happy" is not only because they are used to it, as Sheng Changquan guessed, but the most fundamental reason is because of the rules set by their boat company.
After they died working for the shipyard, their families would receive a pension that they would not have to worry about for the rest of their lives.
Fulai Shipyard is a large shipyard with a strong background. It is said that it is related to certain nobles in the palace. Not only does it have strong financial resources, but it also has extremely strong connections. Therefore, they are naturally generous to the end when they treat their subordinates in the shipyard.
For these people, instead of living in confusion all their lives, living without insurance, and not knowing whether they will be able to earn stable money to support their families in the future, it is better to sell their lives to a shipping company in exchange for a lifetime of no need for their families. Compensation for worry.
In this way, even if you die, it will definitely not be a loss!
And this ridiculous but pitiful reason is indeed the real reason why these people behave like this.
The reality of helplessness!
At the same time, following the commotion caused by Uncle Wang's side, the enemies on the opposite side naturally immediately realized something was wrong.
"Hahaha!"
"Brothers, follow up quickly!"
"..."
These people are all independent gangs. They are not as strong as the powerful gangs and can have a fixed source of income. They are composed of gangsters who have committed crimes, or poor people who cannot survive. Therefore, the life they live is precarious all day long, with one meal at a time and one meal at a time.
Since they carry their belts and live their lives, they are naturally full of courage.
After all, they had nothing but this life, so at this time, they all transformed into "warriors" and rushed directly to the Sheng and He families' fleet.
"quick!"
"Now that people have discovered us, let's take action quickly!"
When the leading brothers in the crowd on the opposite side saw that Uncle Wang had organized his men, they also showed their flags and urged their men to rush towards the boats of the Sheng and He families.
"Yes, boss!"
After all the gangsters responded in unison, they shouted loudly: "Come on!"
"superior……"
These people responded to their boss's call one after another, drew out their weapons, and rushed over with howls.
"boom!"
"boom……"
And just when the "army" of water bandits came together, a series of "water ghosts" that had been hiding around the fleet also emerged from the water one after another.
Each of them held a knife in his mouth, and swam calmly, immersed in the water, towards the boat.
These water ghosts are actually a "death squad" composed of the most aquatic and cruel among the water bandits. They are their first step in attacking the ship.
Generally speaking, these people attack the fleet first and interfere with the opponent's defense, so that subsequent troops can step on the deck and engage in close combat with the enemy.
However, these people in front of me are all composed of several small gangs. Although there is no tacit understanding and they are not as compatible as the members of those gangs, when it comes to viciousness, these people are more powerful!
Therefore, when these "water ghosts" climbed up along the side of the ship, everyone on the ship became nervous, fearing that the other party would break through the defense and get in.
"Come on, put on the harpoon!"
Seeing these "water ghosts" crawling up on hands and feet, Uncle Wang became anxious. He hurriedly ordered his men, asking the guards and sailors to load harpoons in preparation for repelling them. these enemies.
Although the background of Fulai Shipbuilding is not small, after all, they dare not violate the prohibition and carry ordnance on board with a fire stick. Therefore, except for the occasional swords, guns, swords and halberds, most people use harpoons.
However, this kind of harpoon is specially made. It looks ordinary, as if it is something used by fishermen, but in fact it is a weapon specially made by someone. It has a long rod, a sharp blade, and a hard and dense texture. It can kill people. It's actually easier than killing fish.
"Quick stab!"
"Brothers, come on!"
"..."
While reminding their companions, the sailors of the guard tightened the harpoons in their hands and stabbed them fiercely into the dark water outside the ship's side.
"puff!"
"Pfft!"
"..."
Although the light was not good and the view was not very clear, because there were enough people on the ship, a lot of people were killed in a short time. At the very least, with the sound of string after string of watermelons being stabbed, the heart-wrenching sound was heard. The lung-splitting roar of pain also continued to resound in the night sky.
"boom!"
"Bang! Bang!"
"..."
The sound of falling water one after another appeared in the ears of everyone on the boat.
"Huh~"
Seeing the battle situation in front of them, Xu Changqing and others suddenly relaxed and felt that nothing serious would happen this time.
After all, our side has sufficient manpower, strong weapons and equipment, and the offensive and defensive positions are extremely good. Therefore, with the favorable location, people and people, they will naturally win.
"Master, it seems there is nothing wrong with these people!"
"They probably won't be able to fight us!"
Because Fan Yigong took the men from both families to support Uncle Wang, Xu Changqing was the only one left beside Sheng Changquan. Now, he was sticking his head and neck to see the offensive and defensive momentum of both sides. He did the following Judgment.
"Um!"
Sheng Changquan did not object to this. He just looked at the scene in front of him indifferently, thinking slowly in his mind.
"I guess everything will be fine tonight!"
"These people have no hope of making it to the ship."
Sheng Changquan's expression was solemn, and his eyes could see the future: "I just don't know if there will be any changes in the next trip?"
"Are those people in the gang really incapable of doing anything?"
That's right, this attack will naturally not be the only one. As long as they don't arrive in Beijing smoothly, there will be countless times like this tonight.
However, I imagine there will be many, and they will become increasingly difficult!
At the thought of this, Sheng Changquan's heart gradually became heavy.
…
At the same time, while the two sides were fighting fiercely, there was another fleet of large size quietly moored a hundred kilometers away that no one knew about.
This fleet is not as sparse as Sheng and He's fleet, which only has two large ships. However, their fleet has more than a dozen large ships with a large draft.
However, unlike Sheng and He's boats, which were mainly used to carry people, their ships were commercial ships for transporting goods.
The hull is rough and broad, but it has no good-looking appearance. Compared with the painted boats of the Sheng and He families, it is like comparing a beast with a beauty.
Moreover, looking at the sunken hulls of most of the large ships in front of us, it is estimated that this fleet is probably full of cargo and is going somewhere. It can be said that it is fully loaded.
However, what is more strange is that this fleet transports goods to and from the Han River with such great fanfare, but the water bandits turn a blind eye and do not take action against them at all.
Of course, it may be because these people have already paid the tolls to the water gangs, so they don't move, but how can those fleas-like stragglers not take action?
After all, they are all vampire leeches who can’t get enough to eat!
There is something really strange here.
However, if you take a closer look, you will understand why.
Gein, on this "arrogant" fleet, there is a big flag on the sail of each big ship.
The appearance of the big flag is also the rough and wild style inherited from the fleet. It is rough but majestic, or domineering. There is nothing superfluous on the simple but wide flag. It is just a huge white background and black carefully printed on it. The word - "Cao"!
This kind of flag may be unfamiliar in other places, but it is very famous to people who live on water.
Because they represent the Caobang.
A powerful force that shook the four regions of the Han River.
The Caogang is a force composed entirely of ordinary people. You can call them a gang, or you can call them a family.
Because their rules are very strange. Let’s not say the origin of their members for now, but the rules in their gang are very different. At the very least, there are clear divisions between their classes, but there is also an indescribable feeling. Vague.
There is only one gang leader, three elders, and nine deacons in the Cao Gang. They each perform their own duties, but they are all responsible to the gang leader. Let’s not mention the division of responsibilities for the moment, but the gang leader definitely has the greatest rights.
Moreover, the most important point is that the position of the leader of the Cao Gang has always been passed down by blood or the iron law taught by master and apprentice.
However, the inheritance sequence of the former is higher than that of the latter.
In other words, unless all members of the Shi family, the current leader of the Cao Gang, are dead, otherwise, it will not be the turn of the disciples accepted by the first gang leader to become the gang leader.
Therefore, it is precisely because of this that the Caobang can be regarded as a family.
…
(It will be very busy during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so everyone should try to watch it the next morning. I will try to update in the early morning)
…
However, unlike the intrigues of other gangs, the environment of the Cao Gang is very good.
Whether they are gang leaders, elders, nine deacons, or ordinary members, everyone gets along with each other in peace and friendship.
Of course, even tongues and teeth are bound to collide, let alone people.
In the Caogang, there may be some friction and disputes between individuals, but generally speaking, it is excellent.
It is precisely because of this that the cohesion of the Cao Gang is so strong. When all other forces on the Han River have been influenced or even conquered by the aristocratic families in the capital, only the Cao Gang is left. Caobang is such a tough guy, but he is still holding on.
Of course, it's not that those people didn't take action against the Cao Gang, and they did take action. However, because the entire Cao Gang was determined, almost everyone was risking their own lives to resist, and they were unwilling to give in!
For them, freedom or death!
In fact, the yearning for freedom is the most essential pursuit of every living being. However, this is not the case with Caobang. They do not understand any big principles, but they understand that the reason why they can live in this miserable world is If you go on, you will rely on the interdependence of your own gang members.
If they are subdued, the essence of the Cao Gang's footing will naturally disappear. Maybe they can live a comfortable life with plenty of fish and meat, and a lot of money, but for future generations, they will lose their security. .
As mentioned before, the inheritance of the Cao Gang depends on blood and the order of masters and apprentices. Therefore, only a stable Cao Gang can maintain the stability of the descendants of their Cao Gang for generations to come.
Therefore, for the sake of future generations, everyone in Caobang was naturally unwilling to give in at the risk of their lives.
And because of the special nature of Caogang, they also have a very large number of people. They were established by people from nearly a dozen villages hugging each other. Although the number of people in these villages is not sufficient, their combined number is also More than enough.
Moreover, these people are all stubborn and unwilling to surrender. Therefore, unless the army is used to completely defeat the Can Cao Gang, if only some of their members are injured, they will never change their minds.
However, if this is really the case, then don't say anything. Although the Cao Gang will be subdued, the person who did this and even the family behind it will definitely be investigated.
After all, even if the mobilization of the army could be concealed, the massacre of villages and strongholds could not be concealed.
Once this is done, the news will definitely be revealed and exposed. The imperial envoy is still quite proud at this time, so in the end, this matter will definitely be presented to the officials by the imperial envoy. .
