Chapter 438 Recruitment of civilian ships

Yu Wenjun then cast his expectant eyes on Yunfeng, waiting for this man to stretch out his arms and take him into his arms!

However, Yunfeng shook his head in confusion: "Teacher, you should take Miss Yu and disciples to arrest these two people and ask about the situation!" After saying that, without waiting for others to express concern or objection, he turned around and disappeared.

Missing in the river.

Fortunately, Yunfeng's time was spent there, and everyone was not too worried. They could only look at each other helplessly, and then swam hard towards the battleship that had obviously stopped not far away.

The thirty-gallon battleship that lit up the Xiongxiong fire rushed downstream as the river water rushed towards it. Yunfeng got through from the bottom in one breath, and took a look around. Perhaps he understood the result of the pursuit. The surviving Wujun sailors on the ship

They were abandoning the ship one after another and swam towards the dozens of fighting ships supervising the battle at the rear and the large and small ships that had not yet had time to ignite.

So, Yunfeng dived into the water again, randomly staring at two targets at the back, sneaking over quietly, reaching out and tapping them lightly on the back of their necks, knocking them unconscious and carrying them away.[

The whole process took a very short time and was not noticed by anyone. Soon, Yunfeng returned to his own warship with the two prisoners. After waking up, after interrogation, it turned out that Liu Kun was threatening the family members of the Wujun navy. Then

Dozens of fighting ships, dedicated to supervision

The purpose of this is that as long as someone escapes without fighting, his whole family will be killed when he returns. Moreover, a company system is adopted. If one person escapes, the entire team of 200 households will be implicated. This makes the navy soldiers wary of each other. No one has the chance to jump into the river to escape.

Even if he knew he was going to die, he still had to stay on the boat.

After understanding the general situation, the guards took the two prisoners down. Everyone gasped. Liu Kun was so cruel. He could use such vicious tricks. At the same time, it could also be seen that the three surnames of Wu County

Has been completely deprived of military power.

Huan Wen's face once again showed a look of shame. He made a plop and half-knelt in front of Yunfeng. He gave a deep salute: "When the last general led the army to attack Stone City, he passed by Jiangcheng Shui Village. At that time, he had a thought and did not attack.

If you cause today's trouble, please punish me, your Majesty!"

Yunfeng did not help Huan Wen up this time, but his face fell. He glared at him coldly, causing Huan Wen to quickly lower his head, and his forehead was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat.

Yu Wenjun couldn't help but advise: "General, you can't really blame Huan Wen too much. He wanted to cooperate with General Daniu to attack Stone City. The original plan was to bring the master into the city. It's just that the situation was not as optimistic as expected, so the trip failed.

, but at that time, he had to rush for time, so it was normal for him to pass without attacking!"

Yunfeng shook his head and said: "You only hit the first one, and the second one is that after capturing Stone City, you have so much time to do everything, why not attack Jiang Chengshui Village?"

As soon as these words came out, Huan Wen felt even more regretful. He even leaned his body tightly on the deck and did not dare to move.

Yu Wenjun seemed to want to say something, but Yunfeng waved his hand to interrupt him, and said: "Huan Wen, don't blame Gu Ye for being the backlash. To be honest, Gu Ye never thought that there would be a fire ship hidden in Jiangcheng Shui Village, but you are different.

You are temporarily acting as the Haimen Navy Superintendent. All conditions on this section of the river must be clear, and no uncontrollable factors can occur.

It's better now. As soon as the navy approaches Jiankang, Liu Kun will definitely send out fire ships. Is it possible that he can only attack Gushe and take the land route? Or make a big circle and sneak across from Jingkou to Haimen further away? And Wujun is diagonally opposite Haimen, and there are also

water

Village. I'm afraid there are also fire ships inside, huh! In this way, unless there is a storm, otherwise, if the Haimen navy wants to go to Wu County, it must go to sea and land on the coastline, which is ten miles farther than taking the Gushu to Jiankang.

Times!"

Yunfeng's voice was so stern that Huan Wen trembled unconsciously, and he said cruelly: "It's all because of Wen's lack of consideration. He thought that Liu Kun had betrayed his relatives and could no longer use any tricks. He had contempt in his heart. Wen is willing to lead the military to deal with it!"

Yunfeng's face became colder and colder. Although the generals wanted to plead for mercy, they did not dare to speak. They all turned to Xun Guanniang and Yu Wenjun for help. They knew that only this pair of masters and disciples dared to speak freely regardless of the king's anger.

"Hey~~" Xun Guanniang sighed and advised: "Duanshan, Huan Wen is young after all, and Liu Kun is very thoughtful and good at plotting, so it is inevitable that he will be deceived by him. I think this time, even though it is

I suffered a bit of a loss, but fortunately there were casualties, and Huan Wen will keep an eye on it in the future, why not forget it?"

In fact, Yunfeng did not want to punish Huan Wen, but he found that Huan Wen was a bit frivolous and adventurous. Although daring to fight and fight was an advantage, he was also prone to being hot-headed and not thinking well. Although Xie Shang was not as enterprising as Huan Wen, he still

He is calmer and considers things more carefully. If it were Xie Shang who attacked Stone City, Yunfeng believed that Xie Shang would definitely remove the thorn in the side of Jiang Chengshui Village without leaving any future troubles.

It’s enough to teach Huan Wen a lesson. Since Xun Guanniang was interceding, Yunfeng also took advantage of the situation and said: "Huan Wen, it was your negligence that put our army in a dilemma. This time, we will suppress it for the time being.

This is your chance to make a meritorious deed. Within three days, you must come up with a solution, so get up quickly!"

"General, thank you so much, Your Majesty!" Huan Wen stood up with a face full of shame, then frowned and thought about how to break Liu Kun's fire. Not only him, but everyone on the ship was also thinking about how to break Liu Kun's fire.

Boat, for a while no one spoke again.

"Hahahaha~~" In Jiankang Palace, after hearing the report, Liu Kun couldn't help laughing. His laughter was full of satisfaction! He didn't know how many people died in the Qin army.

But forcing him to self-destruct thirty warships was already an amazing achievement. You must know that before this, the Qin army's warships had always appeared as enemies!

After a long time, Liu Kun managed to stop his smile and turned around and asked: "How many soldiers have been lost by the navy? How many ships do we have left?"

The entourage was also full of joy and quickly saluted: "Your Majesty, this time a thousand large and small ships were sailed from Jiangcheng, carrying dozens to thirty people, a total of fifteen thousand people. When they approached the Qin army's warships, they lit them.

The Qin army destroyed 30 warships in time as a cover, buying time for the following ships to escape. Because they could not catch up, the other 500 ships were not fired yet and returned to Jiangcheng with the army.

There are currently 2,500 large and small fireships in Jiangcheng, and there are 2,000 ships in the Wujun water village. Although the navy officers and soldiers will not have time to calculate the specific number, according to the estimate of the general supervising the battle, the number of people killed in the battle is about 2,000!" [

Murong Xin then raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, once the number of people is counted, we will immediately provide compensation to the fallen soldiers. Firstly, it will show Your Majesty's integrity, and secondly, it will eliminate all doubts and worries about dying for Your Majesty!"

Liu Kun's face twitched slightly. To be honest, he doesn't have much money now. On the one hand, supporting the army, and on the other hand, nearly 300,000 Xianbei people are coming in one after another. These people come here empty-handed. Their

Resettlement requires money and food!

Where did the money and food come from? Liu Kun has not yet targeted the Qiao gentry. The manor lands of the Qiao gentry are basically in Kuaiji. Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to send troops to plunder, and he has not gone so far as to openly rob civilians.

The state of the people’s wealth.

All of Liu Kun's money came from "temporary borrowing" from the Wujun gentry. No matter how wealthy Wujun was, it could not withstand repeated extortion. Lu, Gu, Zhou, and other minor surnames

Although it can't be said to be bankrupt, the family's financial resources have also been drained. Now we are facing the spring famine season. Before the harvest, it is almost impossible to squeeze out any more oil and water.

However, Liu Kun also knew that the situation was urgent. Although he gathered all the family members of the naval officers and soldiers for custody, they were working hard and if they did not pay them after their death, it would inevitably make people feel cold and trouble would easily arise.

So, with a look of distress on his face, Liu Kun ordered: "Pay out the pension within three days!"

"As you command!" The attendant turned around and walked out.

Liu Kun seemed to have thought of something and asked again: "By the way, Yi Luogui, although I have prepared a lot of ships, you also know that in just one attack today, five hundred ships were burned. I am worried.

The Qin army will pretend to attack, or simply set fire to the ships to consume our ships. Once in a while, I will use the ships, and I can only sit back and watch the Qin army transport the army to Stone City, and have to fight with them. In this regard, you can

Is there a solution?"

"This" Murong thought about it, Liu Kun's worries were not unfounded, he couldn't help but frowned and remained silent.

After a long while, Murongcai said solemnly: "Your Majesty is very worried. In my opinion, waiting for the Qin army to attack is too passive. It is better to take the initiative to gather fire ships and attack his Liyang water stronghold, or to defeat him."

The ships were burned to the ground!”

Liu Kun thought for a moment and then asked: "How many fireships should be dispatched?"

Murong counted with his fingers for a moment, and then said: "The number is insufficient, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to get close. If we want to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, we will need at least two thousand ships!"

"Two thousand ships?" Liu Kun couldn't help but said to himself: "If it doesn't work, wouldn't I use more ships to resist the Qin army? If I mobilize the ships from Wu County to come, there will be no way to contain them at Haimen. Wouldn't I just let him do whatever he wants?"

Murong Nai said: "Although our army won a small victory, it was not as strong as the Qin army. If we don't use all our strength, it will be difficult to complete our efforts. How about this? Your Majesty can recruit civilian ships. There are about a thousand scattered civilian ships in the Jiankang area."

If there are many, they will be recruited as backup."

"What will happen if it causes public resentment?" Liu Kun asked hesitantly.

Murong was a little anxious and advised: "Your Majesty, don't worry about it. If you lose this battle, there will be nothing. What's the use of the people's support? If you win, your Majesty will compensate you in the future. Besides, the conscription of civilian ships during war has long been done in history."

Following the precedent, your Majesty, please issue the decree immediately and don’t hesitate any longer!”

Liu Kun thought for a moment, then there was a flash of fierceness in his eyes, and he nodded fiercely: "It's up to you, we must recruit ships within seven days!" After saying that, he returned to his seat and wrote quickly, and quickly wrote the edict.

After the order was written and stamped with the seal, he was immediately summoned to take it away.

The edict was issued to the whole city in the blink of an eye, and Jiankang was immediately in a state of panic. Anyone with a boat at home, even a small sampan, and even a painted boat on the Qinhuai River could not escape the poisonous hands. The people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out.

, but everyone understands that although Liu Kun preaches

He won a big victory, but in fact, he has reached the end of his rope! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote at Qidian. Your monthly vote is my biggest motivation. Mobile users
