"Lao Qi, later send an articulate brother to the Qianshi Mansion in the west of the city, and tell the third manager there exactly what I just said, to see how they react, and then come back and tell me I..." Watching Liu Chongqi, Han Wu and the others disappeared from sight. Kang Lin slowly put down the wine glass in his hand, and the warm smile on his face disappeared without a trace. Although he seemed to be blooming now, , cooking oil in the fire, he has made enough face and inside, but in reality he is dancing on a few eggs. If he is not careful, his life may be lost, or even his bones may be lost. Therefore, he cannot help but be careful in everything, Be cautious at all times!
The official position of Guerrilla Hundred Households that is about to be awarded by the top leaders of Donghaiwei is like a double-edged sword. It gives this guy identity and status, and at the same time, it completely breaks the weak balance that this guy deliberately maintains! Originally, this guy took advantage of the discord between Weng Yuli and Hu Lian to get both sides of the situation, asking them to keep raising the price to buy him off. But now, this fragile balance can no longer be maintained, because the capital has already made a public decision. , prepare to officially grant him the official position of Sixth Rank and Hundred Households! And this means that he can no longer bet on both sides and have the same advantage as before. In fact, in order to protect his vested interests and avoid being swallowed up by interested people, this guy has to find a powerful person to take refuge, but Donghai Weisan Among the giants, whether it is the commander Weng Yuli, the commander Hu Lian, or the commander Gu Wentong, it seems that they are not fuel-efficient lamps. No matter which party you join, you will offend the other party, or even both parties;
If you don't take refuge with them and want to play tricks among the three of them, such as dancing on eggs, the problem will be even bigger. When the time comes, the three parties who feel that they are unruly and unruly will join forces to deal with them. Although they They fight openly and secretly with each other, and they want to think out of their wits, but once they encounter a problem that is difficult to solve, they will also choose to take action to eliminate all unstable factors invisible! Therefore, it was precisely because of this section that Fatty Kang Linkang felt that things were difficult to handle. Although he was determined to seek refuge with Weng Yuli, a fellow commander of the capital who had a good reputation, he also did not want to offend the powerful man. He was in command of Hu Jingting. Therefore, the scene mentioned above happened. Kang Lin, who was worried, wanted to test the attitude of Qianshifu by asking for directions. The envoy who went to deliver the message was even authorized by him to reveal his whereabouts to the latter when necessary. Cao Ying was worried about Han's helplessness, and all he wanted was to temporarily stabilize the latter and prevent him from becoming angry and immediately attacking himself!
"Okay, boss!" After receiving his fate, Yang Qi, the leader, immediately sent a clever subordinate out of Hongbin Tower and walked to the Qianshi Mansion in the west of the city without saying a word! In his opinion, fulfilling the orders of the leader to the letter is the only meaning of his existence in the world. In order to achieve this grand goal, he can endure hardships and even abandon his wife and home. The reason why he works so hard It is actually very simple to say, it is nothing more than respect and trust. Over the past few days in the Chiyang fleet, Yang Qi has felt unprecedented respect and trust. Thinking of him as a guard station soldier who scavenged for food, the first two In my thirty years of life, what I have seen the most is contempt and contempt. I have never been so appreciated. Not only was I chosen as a personal follower by the new head of the family from the beginning, and I enjoyed superior food and salary, but I also received it later. In the past, he was entrusted with important tasks by the latter and became the second steward envied by everyone in the fleet. Now he has accepted Kang Lin's important task and is responsible for all the affairs of the East China Sea Guard Station Office of the Chiyang Fleet. He has great power. He is so big and powerful that only a few people in the entire Chiyang fleet can rival him. He cannot help but be disloyal to Kang Lin, and he is also dead-set. Now let alone the latter just asked him to send people to Qianshi Mansion to test, then He was directly asked to lead his men to sneak attack the city gate defenders, and then let the army from outside the city enter the city, and he didn't even frown.
Four or five days later, the Chiyang fleet was stationed in the East China Sea, somewhere in the backyard of Hongbin Tower.
In the past few days, Kang Lin and his subordinates have been living in seclusion, staying in their courtyard and waiting for the officials from the capital to deliver official seals and confession documents. During this period, in addition to constantly opening the primary weapon boxes and material boxes rewarded by the system, , harvesting various needed or temporarily unnecessary manufacturing and construction drawings, Kang Lin also ordered Zheng Nansheng, Jiang San and others to conduct assault training for the newly recruited elite soldiers, warrior followers, and young people among the new immigrants. In the words of this guy, at least when the situation reaches its most critical point, we must be able to successfully pull together a capable team that can be called upon, able to fight and win, to cope with the ever-changing situation. In addition, In order to arm this capable team that is at stake with their own lives, Kanglin and Kangdabaihu even used long flintlock muskets, short flintlock muskets, wild goose feather knives, explosive barrels, wine bottle bombs and even tiger crouching weapons from their weapon boxes. Cannons are equipped with them! Therefore, by the time the fast-riding messenger heading to Jinan returned to the East China Sea Acropolis with Kang's confession document, Kang Lin had already gathered thirty or fifty heavily armed elite warriors around him. The East China Sea Flag Army in the city was defeated and eliminated, but there was no problem at all in protecting their boss and fighting out of the city. As for what further actions the Chiyang Fleet Infantry will take after arriving outside the city, that depends on the big guys in the East China Sea. Regardless of Kang Lin's attitude towards him, if the expulsion was just a matter of loud thunder and small rain, the hundreds of Chiyang tribesmen would take the supplies and arms purchased in Donghaiwei and withdraw them to the private port leased through the Donghai Chamber of Commerce in advance. Then he took the old Ming army ship purchased in Zhujiawan and set sail to sea, leaving this hot land of the Ming Dynasty full of opportunities and dangers; but if the gentlemen of Donghaiwei don't know how to appreciate it, they must kill Chiyang and his gang. Absolutely, then don't blame Kang Lin and others for turning their backs and starting to loot the prosperous Donghai Grass Market, and even attacked the acropolis where the weak flag army was stationed! It should be noted that during the more than ten days they came to Donghaiwei, Kanglin and his group not only purchased supplies, ordnance, and ships, invited famous doctors to treat Liu Laoliu, and made friends with powerful people in the flag army and camp, they also did not do anything for a moment. The reconnaissance and mapping of the East China Sea Acropolis has not been relaxed. The infantry commander of Chiyang, Yan Si's new apprentice, Zheng Nansheng, the former elite frontier soldier of Jizhen in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to training the new immigrant youth with Chen An and Qin Gu (note), Zheng Nansheng In addition to Zhuang, he often took the only middle-aged scholar among the new immigrants who could read and digitize to survey and map the preparedness of various places in the East China Sea!
The result of their investigation was that the Chiyang fleet was the biggest obstacle to attacking the Shanshui Village in front of Donghaiwei, and even the Acropolis itself. Those mighty and majestic artillery forts had to become a stumbling block for their further actions! Zheng Nansheng once bribed the flag army officers who managed the forts on the mountain and observed the cannons in the forts at close range. However, the observation results almost shocked him. Most of the original coastal defense weapons were old cannons. Cannons, or even painted fake cannons, the only ones that are useful are some Franchise cannons that fire one or two kilograms of shells. The latter fire cannons, killing and wounding enemy soldiers. The war horses may be moderately powerful, but once When encountering a sailboat made of hard wood, it will be particularly inadequate. Although the two newly added 200-ton bird boats to the fleet are old boats that have been eliminated by the camp, their planks are unexpected. Thick, if the sophisticated artillery rewarded by the system are added to this, their combat effectiveness will increase exponentially! By then, with its strong ships and powerful artillery, the Chiyang fleet will be able to successfully pin down the few remaining naval warships in the water village and create opportunities for their infantry colleagues to seize the beach and land. Then, as long as Kang Lin's elite infantry are as brave and good at fighting as they boasted, then one or two wooden walls of the navy camp, plus the old and weak Ming army navy with less than 300 people, will not be able to defeat them. Blocking their progress, the Chiyang tribe will, as expected, quickly occupy Qianshanshui Village where the main force has been exhausted!
Next, using the water stronghold as a springboard, the Chiyang fleet took control of the initiative in the battle. They could threaten the East China Sea Guards when advancing, and they could evacuate the crisis-ridden Ming Dynasty mainland at any time when retreating. During this period, they could even spare enough time. He came to loot the shops and wealthy households in the grass market, and obtained a large amount of funds and goods needed for the development of the fleet. Uh, no, that is not called looting, that is called collecting reasonable burdens. He spent a lot of energy and personnel damage, and risked At the risk of offending the top brass of Donghai, if we take over this relatively prosperous place, if we don't receive some benefits from the wealthy businessmen and landlords, wouldn't we be sorry for the huge amount of money we spent in the early stage...
Slowly tying the silk ribbon of his chainmail, Kang Lin put on an iron-inlaid cotton armor presented by the battalion commander, and then on top of this, he put on an ocher brown crew-neck shirt. In order to cover up the bulge on his body, this guy's ears have been reminded that he is following the leader for countless times. It turns out that today is the day when Kang Lin was awarded the title of East China Sea Guard to guerrilla hundreds of households and went to the capital in person to thank him. In order to protect his safety, the sentry commander Zheng Nansheng, deputy sentry commander Chen An, armor commander Qin Gu, and Yang Qi were already in the courtyard. A capable force of more than thirty people was assembled here. Among them, the five most elite specially recruited warriors and five warrior retinues pretended to be Kang Lin's entourage and entered the capital mansion together with him. The rest stayed in Zheng Nansheng's house. Under the command, they lurked into the private houses next to the Donghai Capital Palace in batches. They only waited for something unexpected to happen and all of them rushed out. They used their weapons to teach the soft-footed flag soldiers of Donghai Guard how to behave.
"...We are investigating a certain overseas Yi Shangkang who has good character and outstanding ability and can be put to great use. He is specially awarded the position of Sixth Grade Hundred Households of Donghaiwei Zhengyin..." Today, in the capital campus, everything you look at is red. Officials in green robes, green robes, and green robes gathered together. For a time, tigers, leopards, and bears gathered together, and orioles and quails held a meeting. However, Kang Lin, as a low-ranking military attaché of the Guard, could only kowtow, thank you, and something else during the entire conferment ceremony. There was no time to think about anything, let alone do it. It was not until the conductor Shi Guwentong, who was wearing a red official robe and a black gauze hat, stepped down from the stage and came to him that he had time to raise his head and look at this important thing for him. The first person in the Donghaiwei command system by Jian Ba Zhien!
Note: Chen An, an elite warrior specially recruited by Kang Lin, was a swordsman; Qin Gu, also an elite warrior specially recruited by Kang Lin, was one of the few masters of guns in the Ming army.
