Not to mention, even the shortest person among the Jianlu was taller than the Japanese in the Japanese fleet. Especially in this era of cold-weapon warfare, this difference in stature made each Jianlu feel full of pride. Just looking at the Japanese's body and physique, I guess one against three would be no problem.
Maybe they were stimulated, so the Japanese leader said to Haug: "Everyone in your country is tall and powerful. I'll have to trouble you to move the food on this ship yourself. We have been waiting here for three days, and we can't carry it any more." It’s too late, we have to go back and pay the order before three quarters noon.”
Hauge was impressed and agreed. After all, this is food that the Qing Dynasty urgently needs.
However, after Jianlu had just moved less than half of the food to the shore, he no longer had any physical strength and began to pant and rest. I really have nothing to eat and I feel hungry for a long time.
As a result, the Japanese watched the show on the boat and pointed at them. Although the two parties did not understand the language, it could be guessed from their demeanor that the Japanese were saying something like "it is good but not useful".
It's a pity that Hauge didn't have an interpreter here. Their conversation was only possible because the Japanese brought someone who was familiar with the Ming Dynasty Mandarin. Otherwise, if Hauge understands the Japanese language, he will know that the Japanese are not only laughing at their taller bodies, but also laughing at their IQ.
There are so many people, even if the boat has more planks, but each person carrying a bag of food up and down is not only tired, but also getting in the way of each other. Isn't this stupid?
In this regard, these Japanese people just laughed and did not remind Jianlu how to unload food in the most convenient way.
Hauge couldn't help but become furious when he saw the words and deeds of those Japanese. He's just a bit reckless, but not stupid. How can we not see the humiliation of the Japanese!
When had a Qing warrior been so humiliated by others? Even if he was defeated continuously by the Ming army, at least in front of him, Hauge, he had never been so humiliated!
Seeing this, his personal guards knew his temper, so they quickly and secretly reminded him that he was short-handed and soft-mouthed, and that the Qing Dynasty and the Japanese were in alliance, and they could not lose big things because of small things.
Hauge also knew the importance of this. Not only did his previous sense of superiority disappear, but he also became angry. After strictly ordering his men to move the food in time, he went hunting in the surrounding areas.
But he didn't know that in the dense forest on the mountain in the distance, there were many pairs of eyes staring here.
After a while, one of them, Chen Shaoan, put down his telescope and said to Li Dingguo who was still observing the enemy's situation: "The one who left with his bodyguard is the slave chief Aixinjueluo Hauge, Heshuo of Jianlu Prince Su. This army must be the army that Jianlu came to accept."
Hearing this, Li Dingguo did not put down the telescope and continued to watch, but he replied to Chen Shaoan: "Well, if there are more people, more food will be consumed on the road, and Jianlu will not waste their precious food in vain! "
"Then what should we do?" Chen Shaoan asked him after hearing this.
Li Dingguo did not answer immediately, but continued to observe. Seeing this, Chen Shaoan was patient and did not rush him. He also picked up the telescope and started observing.
After a while, Li Dingguo suddenly said: "Look, the Japanese are making noises on the ship. They are undoubtedly laughing at Jianlu. However, Jianlu did not send anyone else to take over the transportation of food. From this, it can be seen that the Japanese are laughing at Jianlu. This group of Jianlu who carried food should be the ones with the strongest physical strength. From this, it can be seen that the combat power of these Jianlu is definitely greatly reduced."
Hearing this, Chen Shaoan couldn't help but nod. This can be proved by Hauge leaving angrily.
"If the general's prediction is correct, Jianlu will definitely have a feast after he finishes transporting the grain." Li Dingguo continued to analyze to Chen Shaoan, "The reason for this is, first, because Jianlu has been looking forward to food for a long time. Now that the food is in front of him, with that Hauge's personality, he must give an explanation to his men and give them a good meal. In addition, if Jianlu wants to take so much food back, he must be strong. Moreover, this The food batch is very important, Hauge must not dare to be careless, and he must make sure that his men are well fed, and only after they have enough strength can they be fully protected."
Chen Shaoan didn't expect Li Dingguo to think about so many things, and couldn't help but be a little surprised. After thinking about it carefully, I didn't think Li Dingguo had said anything wrong, so he kept nodding. He knew in his heart that since Li Dingguo had thought so carefully, he must have some ideas.
Sure enough, I heard Li Dingguo continue to analyze: "The Japanese on the Japanese ship have artillery and a lot of shotguns. Although they are much inferior to our flintlock guns, the power of the firearms still needs to be guarded against." .”
When he said this, Li Dingguo put down his telescope and solemnly said to Chen Shaoan who also put down his telescope and looked at him: "Therefore, I thought that when Jianlu unloaded the food and had not yet had a full meal, the Japanese fleet had already If they leave, it will be a good opportunity for our army to kill them. If either of these two conditions is not met, then just wait and see what happens. Anyway, there is still a long way to go, and we still have many opportunities to take action."
After finishing speaking, he pondered for a while, and before Chen Shaoan spoke, he added: "I thought there was a high possibility that this fighter plane would appear!"
Chen Shaoan couldn't help but be curious after hearing this, and quickly asked: "How can you see it?"
They watched from a distance, naturally unaware of what the Japanese leader told Hauge to go back immediately. Therefore, Chen Shaoan was very curious about Li Dingguo's conclusion. At least for him, he couldn't see so many things.
Li Dingguo did not hide his secrets, and immediately explained to him: "From the fact that the Japanese laughed at Jianlu, we can see that Jianlu must not be willing to rush to cook in front of the Japanese, or else it would be too embarrassing and damage their Qing Dynasty." The country's prestige. The Japanese did not help unload the grain, but only watched the jokes, which showed that they also had a bad impression of the Jianlu. In this way, since both parties were unhappy, they naturally turned a blind eye. There is a high possibility that the handover happened at the same time. We’ll separate after this.”
This point is analyzed from the perspective of human nature. Chen Shaoan thought about it, and it seemed that this was really the case. For this reason, he picked up the telescope again and observed it for a while, then put down the telescope and nodded and said: "This time, I really admire you, General Li Shen! As expected in the army, everyone said that you will be a great leader in the future." handsome!"
After hearing this, Li Dingguo smiled slightly, and then quickly became serious again. He immediately ordered the guards around him to pass on the order, so that his subordinates should prepare for war and wait for military orders.
Near noon, Hauge returned with a deer and a few pheasants. However, he did not say anything to the Japanese. Once he arrived, he only asked his men about the situation of unloading the grain.
"Go back to the master, let's all come together. It's almost done. We can definitely finish moving before they leave."
In order to unload the grain in time, at least 3,000 people out of the 4,000 built captives went to carry the grain.
Although Jianlu had never unloaded cargo from a ship before, they were not stupid, so they found a way. By using the method of unloading grain in a continuous stream, it didn't take long for each person to handle the grain bags. No one moved, and the grain bags flowed through everyone's hands and piled up relatively easily on the high ground on the shore.
Hauge was very happy about this and praised his men greatly.
Afterwards, it did not go against Li Dingguo's judgment. Both sides disliked each other. As soon as the food was delivered, the Japanese immediately set sail and prepared to go back to pay the order.
On the Jianlu side, in order to move food, they naturally threw away their heavy armor and weapons. Seeing the Japanese fleet turning around the bay and getting a little farther away, they couldn't wait to gather around Haug.
Looking at the green light in their eyes as they looked at the food, how could Hauge not know what they wanted to do. So, he waved his hand generously and agreed to their idea of having a full meal. At the same time, he also asked his men to roast his prey and prepare to enjoy a delicious meal.
Naturally, he himself doesn't have to work. But he also had thoughts, so he asked his subordinates: "What happened to Xilinjueluo? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"
On Xilinjueluo's side, he was originally responsible for catching fish, and he had the Han people who were originally Geng Zhongming and Kong Youde. Because he had been fishing for Jianlu, he escaped and was not killed by Jianlu. This time, Jianlu thought that they were familiar with things on the water after all, so he asked Xilinjueluo to take his fishermen. Yu's men also dared to come here to meet up, preparing to build a simple raft and then return to the interior along the Tumen River.
Now, Xilinjueluo has not arrived, so we can only wait. Food is consumed every day, and Hauge will certainly be unhappy.
"Master, when I contacted you last time, I said it's still a day's journey there." His personal guard replied, "How about sending someone over to urge you?"
"A bunch of useless things!" Hauge heard the sound and couldn't help but cursed angrily, "Han dogs are all cheap bones. Send someone to the king immediately and ask Xilin Jueluo to show them how powerful they are. The ten who are lagging behind will Just let me kill him, see if one of them still dares to hurry on his way!"
"Cha!" After hearing this, his bodyguard immediately responded with a call, and then someone mounted his horse and galloped away.
As for the other Jianlu, they didn't care about it at all. In their eyes, there is only food!
To be honest, at this time, they, who were already exhausted, didn't know where they got the strength to do various tasks such as chopping wood for fire, carrying food, etc., which was very exciting. Needless to say, this efficiency is really high.
However, before the rice was cooked, Jianlu felt that something was wrong.
After just a moment, Jianlu on the periphery came to his senses first, and couldn't help but turned their heads to look in the same direction in surprise.
"Master, there are cavalry coming." Haug's personal guard immediately reported to Haug, "How many cavalry are there in Xilinjueluo? Or are they coming from elsewhere?"
They didn't know the situation at the top, but Haug knew that apart from his own, there was no other cavalry at all.
So, he stood up with a stern look on his face and roared loudly: "Enemy attack!"
