Chapter VIII Officers and Soldiers Are Like Bandits

After they were packed up, they heard the sound of messy footsteps on the bow of the boat. It seemed that the few remaining pirates were dispersing towards the pleasure boat. If they didn't escape, then when would they? Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe drilled out of the window and were about to dive. A pirate happened to escape from the window. At first glance, Lin Fu, Fu Qinghe, one old and one young, came out of the window, and was stunned. When he was about to shout to greet his companions, Lin Fu had already jumped over and rolled into the water. Lin Fu was in the water and tied the pirate's chin, and touched the blade to his neck, and watched a bloodline stirring up a blood-colored scroll like ink and water in the river.

Perhaps some officers and soldiers saw someone falling into the water and shot arrows. The arrows were powerless in the water, which made Lin Fu dive down and pick up an arrow and stab the pirate in the chest, and then let the body float up. He and Fu Qinghe dive and continue to hide under the rowing oar at the stern of the boat.

Fortunately, no pirates fell into the water, so naturally no officers and soldiers went to chase them. Lin Fu also doubted whether there were pirates who jumped into the water to escape. If anyone would go to the water to chase them. The so-called "defeated bandits" should not chase them. The officers and soldiers have already won the victory. If there are any casualties in the pursuit, it would be worth the loss.

The scattered fighting on the boat stopped, and there were loud shouts of firefighting. Lin Fu knew that he and Fu Qinghe were temporarily safe. Thinking about the two battles last night and now, there were at least fifty or sixty lives lost.

"Maybe there will be no more troubles." Fu Qinghe listened to the movements on the boat and couldn't help but comfort himself like this.

"I hope." Lin Fu smiled and said.

Seeing that Lin Fu could still laugh, Fu Qinghe smiled, thinking that no matter how badly Su Mei and the other women could get ashore in the meat ticket. When they arrived on the shore, Su Mei would be safe and unsanct.

At this time, I heard footsteps outside the stern, and two people walked to the stern deck alone. Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe both carefully pricked their ears.

"The Chief lieutenant..."

Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe were both shocked. In this dynasty's military system, there are four types of people who can be called the commander of the subordinates, namely the commander of the Qingche, the deputy commander of the cavalry, and the deputy commander of the cavalry, all of which are senior generals in the army. Ninghai Town's chief general, the deputy commander was added to the commander of the cavalry, and the deputy commander of the cavalry, respectively, and the fourth-rank military general. From the fourth-rank military general, I didn't expect that the two fast-alt boats of the Ninghai Town Navy were actually led by figures at the level of the commander of the Ninghai Town?

"Well, have the casualties detected?" was the voice of a middle-aged man with a low voice.

"Twenty people were killed, thirty-nine were injured, thirty-one enemies were killed, and one Gu captured... This pirate is really hard to chew!"

Lin Fu thought to himself that the combat power of officers and soldiers was very weak, but he didn't expect that the combat power of officers and soldiers led by the military chief general was not much used. However, this pirate was indeed very powerful. He dared to rush to Chongzhou County to learn to hijack meat tickets; Lin Fu had fought with someone last night, but he took some tricks to kill him.

When calculating military achievements, I don’t care about these things.

Although the pirates were wiped out, a pirate warship was captured, and all hostages were rescued, the number of casualties on their own side was far higher than the number of levels (levels) after the battle with absolute advantage. According to the military rules, not only could not be considered a merit, but also had to be criticized by the superiors. Of course, the discipline of the towns and soldiers in various places was dispersed and their combat power was weak, so it was not easy to have a small victory. If an ordinary general led a team to fight and achieved such a record, it would definitely be a great success. However, this time the team leader was a general-level figure in Ninghai Town. It would be even more embarrassing to hand over such a record, and maybe he would attack the opponent as a handle.

Lin Fu hadn't heard the middle-aged general speak for a long time, thinking that he might be embarrassed by this record. The man next to him must be his confidant. After a moment, he heard the middle-aged general's confidant say: "Prince, Dong Yuan has always slandered that our army has weak combat power and is not disciplined. He asked the court to allow the local government to build another new army. If this battle report is handed over, I am afraid it will be used as a pretext for him again..."

"Which onion is Dong Yuan? It's his turn to point fingers at the Zhenjun?" the middle-aged man said angrily, "In this rescue, we must ensure that the hostages are not envious, and there will inevitably be more casualties."

"That's right, but the mouth is on others, especially those civil servants who like to make trouble, all their butts and butts are blooming - will they cross the injured?"

"They are not so stupid. Twenty people died. How could there be no wounded? Besides, the camp should have received news from the enemy when they fight here. At this time, I don't know how many people are staring at Jiang. When we return to the camp, can we hide the casualties without reporting?" The middle-aged man's voice slowed down. He could hear that he began to hesitate, probably even more worried that this would not be appropriate enough and that the flaws left for the political enemy would be too big.

"Guardian..." Another person walked towards the stern of the boat and interrupted the secret conversation between the two.

"Qianhu, what's the matter?"

"Spit," the visitor spat fiercely. He could tell his resentment by listening to the sound. "My mother, the wealthy families in Chongzhou treat us as suckers. The East Pirates opened a total of 30,000 taels of silver for redemption. We licked blood from the knife and killed twenty brothers, but only 3,000 reward silver - let me take people to Chongzhou, without 10,000 taels of silver, I cut all the turtle sons and fed them to the turtle, so that they could die..."

"No, do you want to rebel?" the middle-aged man shouted in a deep voice.

"I don't have money, and I'm just pretending to be a sucker. This officer and soldier is really boring." The visitor said in a muffled voice, and the words meant to rebel.

Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe were always arrogant when the officers and soldiers were arrogant, but they didn't expect that they had already said such ruthless words in half publicly.

"Okay, I know what you know. You go down first. I have something to discuss with Baiming..." the middle-aged man ordered.

"General Chen, please send someone to bring up the East Sea pirate captured alive. I have something to ask him." The middle-aged confidant said.

"Kill. I heard that there were 30,000 taels of silver redeemed, and I was angry, so I killed it. The thief was still shouting that there was something important to report. Report, thief! When I heard that there were 30,000 taels of silver redeemed, I felt cold. My thief's mother, he changed his words and said that there were 60,000 taels of silver redeemed, and I was going to vomit blood? I didn't let him speak, and I cut off my head with one knife. Now the battle report has been changed, killing thirty-two thieves..." Chen Qianhu, the visitor, spitting a mouthful of phlegm into the water and walked away.

Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe thought to himself that they really wanted to thank Chen Qianhu for his reckless killing of prisoners, otherwise Su Mei and Xiao Man would not be able to hide; the two of them at the stern of the boat probably had no choice to Chen Qianhu, and they seemed to be smiling bitterly when they heard them.

"Baiming, what do you think you will do?" asked the middle-aged man.

"The captain knows how to do it, why did he ask me?" The man seemed to add inadvertently, "Thirty thousand taels of silver are enough for Ninghai Town to spend one year."

Lin Fu, who heard this, realized how arrogant and bold these officers and soldiers were. They simply wanted to reach out to take the 30,000 taels of silver.

"Baiming, this is the good news," the middle-aged man determined to say, "I got the line to report the traces of the thief. I personally led a battalion of elite troops to attack and met the pirate ships in the southwest of Xisha Island to fight. However, the pirate ship was strong and the line to come to Chongzhou was wrong. The actual number of thieves was twice our army. They could not fight for a long time. The wind direction of the sky was sharp and the thief fled far away. I regretted that I could not kill them all. I brought the thief to the camp at level 32... How to write our casualties, please think carefully."

"The pirate ship flees far away - it takes seven or eight soldiers to get the pirate ship to move and escape. Then choose eight reliable people to go on. In addition, the 20 people who died in actual death, the casualties will be written as twenty-eight people. The enemy is twice as big as me, and our side has 28 people who have died in battle, and the thirty-two levels of thieves are considered small achievements. Even if we can't catch up with the pirate ship, it will be a defeat for the bandits. My navy warship is too behind, so that we miss the opportunity." The man quickly planned the plan according to the middle-aged man's wishes. "The above have been unwilling to allocate the silver money for the shipbuilding. If they want to know how powerful the pirate ship is, the damage will be written as a quick-slurry warship destroyed by the enemy, and a medium-damaged quick-alt warship... But the eight brothers sent out are now considered dead in battle. How can they solve their identity when they come back in the future?"

"You are willing to do such a good deal only once?" said the middle-aged man. "There are still too few eight people. I think people will continue to die in the future... but our warships are destroyed, and it seems that they will be treated as a rhetoric. We can 'capture' a pirate ship back to compensate by chasing the seaport. How good do you think this is?"

"The commander wisely."

Lin Fu bit his teeth and said, "Where are officers and soldiers like bandits?" As I heard from my own ears, these officers and soldiers are more ruthless than pirates! How can they have the awareness of guarding the land and protecting the people?"

Even though they were so angry that Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe hid under the boat, they did not dare to move slightly to alarm the officers and soldiers on the boat. Soon, they felt that the pleasure boat was moving and slowly retreated out of the river.

Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe did not soak in the cold autumn river for a long time this time. They soon looked for an opportunity and turned over and hid in the stern cabin.

Because this group of officers and soldiers only arranged eight officers and soldiers who were "dead in battle" to escape from the sea as Eastern Sea pirates, the other officers and soldiers pretended to pursue the rush boat behind them, and went out of the sea one after another. The pleasure boat was still tied to the stern of the pirate sailboat, and there were even fewer people left on the pleasure boat to guard the pleasure boat, and there were only two officers and soldiers who changed their clothes in Shanghai.

Since the fast-altitude boat was always behind and pretended to pursue, Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe had no chance to kill and seize the boat.

The fast-alt boat was "chasing" behind, obviously to protect the pirate ships from going out to sea safely and to hide it on the deserted island. Be careful not to give the other pirates the meat tickets to the road and then rob them. At night, just outside the estuary, the pirate ships took a sail for a night, and the water camp fast-alt boats stopped for a day. The next morning, Zhang Fan went east again, and when it was dark, he stopped in a small U-shaped bay on the south side of the deserted island, nearly two hundred miles outside the estuary of the Yangtze River.

Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe quietly got into the water, and Fu Shui went to the outside of the bay to dive ashore.

Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe hid on the shore of the bay, observing the vast deserted island in the twilight. This island has been inhabited. There are several roofs on the edge of the woods that have lifted most of the dilapidated grass sheds for the wind. There are also signs of bonfires outside the forest. There are also reflections of broken swords and broken halberds on the beach. Several rotten boat boards scattered on the beach. It can be seen that there was a fierce battle here not long ago.

Perhaps because the East China Pirates became increasingly rampant, the residents here moved out; they might have been threatened by pirates; they might have been affected by the fierce battle not long ago; there were no fishermen left, and there were no pirates for a long time, and in short, they have become an unmanned deserted island.

Seeing several ships getting anchored inside the bay, I knew that the officers and soldiers would spend the night on the island.

Although I was worried that Su Mei and Xiaoman's two daughters might be exposed, eighty or ninety officers and soldiers were all on the island and there was no chance to attack. Lin Fu and Fu Qinghe could only suppress their anxiety. After several ships left tomorrow, the best time to take action.

They could not lie on the cliff rock and ambush all night. In order to avoid leaving traces, they walked east along the shallow water outside the beach before getting ashore. They entered the dense forest on the island and found a dry place to rest. There were still a few dry cakes hidden on their bodies, soaking the sea water. They were salty and bitter, but they could still be eaten.

Fu Qinghe chewed the black dried wheat cakes and said, "Since there are people living on the island, there should be water sources..."

Lin Fu nodded and said, "You have to endure it tonight. You can collect some dew at night to quench your thirst. After the officers and soldiers leave tomorrow, they should leave some water and food - something that makes people feel troublesome. They may take the boat away..."

"The bay is not deep and the boat cannot be hidden. They will not hope that the passing pirates will appear on the island for Tibetans. The boat will most likely be taken away," Fu Qinghe said, "But after saving people, we can leave..."

Lin Fu looked at the waist knife at his feet. This knife was okay to kill people, but cutting wood was too difficult. I think the officers and soldiers would not leave them with handy tools. It was a arduous project to set up a raft before the officers and soldiers went to the island again. No matter what, I will save the person tomorrow after the main force of the officers and soldiers left. He jumped onto a huge rock with chest height and wanted to observe the island more from the gap in the forest.

Lin Fucheng Middle School Geography: The estuary of the Yangtze River and the nearby waters are mostly sand islands, which are made up of the Jianghuai water system carrying a large amount of sediment from the upstream. Unlike ordinary bedrock islands that can basically maintain a stable state for thousands of years, these sand islands and sandbanks are greatly affected by the tides of rivers and seas and have continued to evolve. When you encounter a sand island when you go out to sea, it may no longer exist in decades, and there will be legends that the fairy island is erratic and has nowhere to look for; it may gradually be connected to the sixth place over hundreds of years and become the new sixth place.

The nameless island under his feet is a rare bedrock island in the nearby waters, and the huge rocks under his feet are proof; the woods they hid at this time are also proof-the ordinary sand island grow more grass and reeds, just like the reed marshes that stretched dozens of miles across Xisha Island before; even if the sand islands with aging age have natural forests, they are mostly shrub forests, so how can they be so lush? The trees that seem to have grown more than a hundred years?

This deserted island is not large in size. I just hid in the stern of the boat and saw the whole picture of this island, which is only four or five miles in radius. The slightly larger residential communities in later generations have to be so big. The small sea depth in the south is a small natural shelter. The hilltops in the southeast of the island look nearly twenty feet high, covering the dense forest.
