Lord of the House

Vol 3 Chapter 171: voyage

During the night battle at Hekou, the military guards of Jiyun Society and Min Yong captured more than 300 prisoners. Except for the dozens of bandit leaders who were sent to prison island for detention, the others were handed over to Li Zhuo to send people to take them away. Lin Bie was not very polite to these prisoners. He took off everything that could be taken off his body. He wished he could just give them a pair of pants to wear.

The equipment of the Taihu thieves was very poor, but the private soldiers of the Qu family who were defeated at the embankment pier were well equipped. During the night battle, private soldiers from Qujia killed more than 20 people on the spot and wounded nearly 60 people on the banks of the Jinchuan River below the embankment pier. , and even the scale armor worn by Qu Wuyang before handing over the body and wounded prisoners.

Good armor is hard to find, so Qu Wuming shot Lin Bie on the spot at the river bank. Body scales were stripped from the corpse and sent for repair.

The repair of scale armor is relatively easy, just replace the deformed and damaged steel armor.

The night battle in the river mouth shows that the double-layer leather armor is seriously insufficient when resisting spears and spears, and the armored soldiers holding the Mo knife at close range to the spear and the spear are not even as efficient as the sword and shield. First, give the Mo knife armor Soldiers equipped with good armor above group A has become a top priority.

This time, Lin Fu just handed over some broken soldiers and broken armor, as well as low-quality iron knives, iron spears and other symbolic gifts. He intercepted all the good things and obtained more than 600 pieces of armor and various weapons.

The only pity is that the private soldiers and remnants of the Qu family who were besieged in Sanliuyuan were taken over by the Dongcheng Yuma infantry and handed over to the Jiangning garrison. No matter how thick-skinned Lin Bie was, he was embarrassed to ask Liu Xiliu about the armor that he wanted to take off from those prisoners. After all, he had already extorted a sum of money from the Dongcheng Yuma infantry last time.

Gu Wuchen, Yang Pu and others also turned a blind eye to the captured soldiers and armor. After all, in the battle of Hekou, Lin Fu's armor was also damaged a lot.

Lin Fu used three knives in one night. A knife was cut with too much force, and it was the empty space. His right shoulder was slashed by a strong martial artist among the thieves. Fortunately, the scale armor is very strong, and if it was replaced with ordinary leather armor, maybe the entire arm would be required. When it was chopped down, Ao Canghai and Zhou Pu, who were guarding the left and right at the time, were all scared into a cold sweat; there were also two gaps in the blades that looked like saws.

With the capture of the Battle of the River Mouth, Lin Fu was able to publicly mix and use the excellent soldiers and armors that had been fished in the turbulent waters of the Qin family's fleet at Luoyang Lake last time. Wear good armor above group armor, sword and shield fighters, and those with bamboo spears all wear group armor and combined armor, and bowmen also wear leather armor.

In addition, Lin Fu also secretly sent a large number of armor and iron weapons to Changshan Island, making the three hundred elites of Changshan Island completely surpass the level of rogue pirate-level armament.

*********

On June 16, Lin Fu left the estuary, and the three boats "Dongyang", "Jiyun 1" and "Jiyun 2" gathered in front of the pier to prepare for departure.

Lin Fu used the Dongyang as the command ship, and the three ships were organized into a team to go down the Pingjiang in a light boat. .

After the Qujiatong bandit case, visionaries could see the rise of Hekou, and even when Lin Fu rescued the Qin family's remnant from Luoyang Lake, they predicted that the competition between Hekou and Quyang Town would eventually win.

In fact, standing behind Hekou is the Chu Party, who is gaining power in the DPRK, and standing behind Quyang Town is Chen Xiyan, who is trying to compete for the position. Seeing this, those who bet on the Chu Party's side in advance will naturally be optimistic that Hekou will eventually win.

The Dongyang Township Party was forced to invest money to build a new house at the estuary of the river, as well as the fields on both sides of the access road for carriages and horses outside the south gate of the fence, and along the embankment on the west bank of the Jinchuan River, which can easily build private gardens.

Even the fan family Fan Ding bought an unfinished house on the back street at a high price from the Dongyang Township Party. They wanted to transform the main house and the left and right wing rooms of the main courtyard into a three-story brick building, which was said to be opened in Hekou. A branch, in fact, blatantly stuffed the eyeliner into the estuary.

There is a private bamboo garden outside the poplar forest in the southwest of the estuary fence. The private bamboo garden is not large, about two acres of land. Except for a few elegant houses, the garden is full of green bamboo. The garden is close to the village to the west, and it is only more than a mile away from the fence on the westernmost side of the estuary. There is a path behind the garden to walk to the river cliff. It is an old head of the Jiangning household who retired in Jiangning city after his career in summer. The garden of the summer residence.

This garden changed hands in the middle of last month before the Battle of the Estuary, and Lin Fu and the others had no idea at first.

When the new owner bought the 40 to 50 acres of land on the riverside from the private bamboo garden, a lot of green bamboos were transplanted, and pavilions and pavilions were built in the garden, intending to expand it into a veritable private garden. It was only after Lin Fu and the others were brought to their attention that they could not find out the details of the new owner of the garden even through the inspectors.

Jiangning was the capital of the empire. Big families such as Yongchang Houfu and Muguo Gongfu have existed in Jiangning for more than 200 years. Lin Buneng's power is also very limited. Weak, how could it be possible to find out the foundation of Jiangning City's two hundred years of precipitation?

The so-called "as soon as it comes, it is safe", Hekou wants to replace the status of Quyang Town, and naturally it has to show a posture of accepting all rivers. When the vassal family comes in, She Feihu will also send dark posts to enter the estuary, and Lin Fu is not afraid that there will be a few. Unidentified people come in.

Zhao Shuhan and Ge Siyu also came to see Lin Fu off today. After Lin Fu boarded the Dongyang ship, they didn't have the patience to stay at the dock to watch the other two ships make the final preparations before sailing.

"Are they the new owners of that garden?" Zhao Shuhan stood on the pier and turned to look at the few people standing on the river bank outside the fence looking over here. He asked Ge Siyu.

"There's nothing left or right, we'll know when we walk over and ask." Ge Siyu said.

There was a small gate on the fence on the west side of the Minyong training camp. Ge Siyu and Zhao Shuhan walked through with their personal entourage and walked along the river bank towards the private bamboo garden.

The back garden of the private bamboo garden is near the river. The craftsmen are building a pavilion. This pavilion is on a high terrain. In front of the pavilion stood a man, a woman and a few attendants. Zhao Shuhan and Ge Siyu walked over to take a look and were shocked. , The man's beard and hair that was gradually dyed with frost and white was actually Mu Guogong Zeng Mingxin. The woman beside him is charming and charming, and it is the new love of Mu Guogong, Chen Qingqing, a famous dancer in Jiangning.

"It turned out that the grandfather of the country bought this house," Zhao Shuhan said with a salutation to Zeng Ming's new work through a chest-high bamboo fence, "causing us to guess the riddles for so many days."

"It's not as good as the dumb riddle that Lin Fu asked us to guess," Zeng Mingxin said with a smile, "Who can guess what amazing thing he will do next? Director Zhao and Ge Jiancheng are here to see Lin Fu off?"

Ge Siyu didn't expect that Mu Guogong would know his small role and give him a salute; he was actually the deputy supervisor of the Longjiang Shipyard.

Zhao Shuhan smiled slightly. They got close to Lin Fu. After all, they didn't know Mu Guogong's attitude towards Lin Fu, and some topics could not be brought up frivolously.

"What flag is flying on his ship?" Chen Qingqing asked with a smile. "From a distance, it looks very majestic."

"On the main mast hangs the main flag of 'Jiangdong Inspector, Division of Soldiers and Prepared Food Envoys, and Expedition to Lang Lin', and the deputy flag of "Jiangdong Inspector, Division of Dongyang Soldiers, Daoji Yunweiyong"," Zhao Shuhan said.

"It's no wonder that the military guards of Jiyun Society dared to openly violate the system. I said that it looks like someone's private soldier. It is clear that the elites in a hundred battles are only so spirited. They really found him a good name," Chen Qing said. The former Jiangning guard He Yuejing was a concubine and knew some military affairs, and then said, "The little-known role that came to Jiangnan in the autumn and winter last year has now made Jiangning a big hit, but the three ship's bow deck and aft cabin roof What's that big thing on the deck covered with linoleum?"

"This, Ge Jiancheng and I are not very clear." Zhao Shuhan said.

In fact, Zhao Shuhan and Ge Siyu knew that the bow deck of each of the three ships was covered with linoleum with two bed crossbows, and the stern deck was fixed with a scorpion crossbow.

Lin Fu incorporated part of Lin's hometown into Jiyun Wuwei, but it could not change the nature of private soldiers and guest soldiers. Wuwei could also move with merchant ships, but it was extremely troublesome for private soldiers and guest soldiers to leave and enter the country.

In order to use things cheaply, Lin Fu put Jiyun Wuweidu under the name of Dongyang Braided Township Yong this time, under the name of Jiyun Weiyong, the Dongyang Military Training Dao ~www.wuxiax.com~ to **** and raise food.

Since the imperial court officially established the four houses to train the villagers and control the army of the same town, with this name, Lin Fu not only obtained the right of passage for Jiyun Wuwei in Jiangdong County, but also the weapons and equipment can break through the previous restrictions on private soldiers, and raised their own funds. Food salaries, strong bows, heavy armour, and even large bed crossbows can be equipped.

The only downside is that Gu Wuchen, Lin Tingli and others have the rightful name to mobilize Jiyun Wuwei.

Of course, when it was time for Gu Wuchen and Lin Ting to take Lin Bie's private soldiers by force, it was almost a tear for both sides. The so-called nominal mobilization power couldn't compare to Lin Bie's actual control.

The priest can monitor the military armament, but he has no right to directly allocate the combat readiness. Lin Fu can only use gold and silver to open the way, bribe the officials of the Weiwei Temple and the arsenal hall in Jiangning, and get six crossbows, which are fixed on both sides of the front of the ship. Can turn to shoot crossbow arrows.

The most essential difference between the small scorpion crossbow and several contemporary catapults is that the scorpion crossbow uses the torsion of the crossbow string as the power source, and successfully realizes the problem of installing catapults on medium-sized and above warships. There was not much difference between the crossbows. Lin Bing also urgently assembled three scorpion crossbows and fixed them on the tail deck.

Zhao Shuhan and Ge Siyu knew this clearly because they invited Lin Bie to study the material and structure of the scorpion crossbow string and crossbow arm.

Mu Guogong Zeng Mingxin smiled slightly. If he could say something casually from the mouths of Zhao Shuhan and Ge Siyu, would Lin Fuyan trust them so much? However, Zeng Mingxin knew that Lin Fu, who came to Jiangning last autumn and winter as a small role, was really about to set sail. Who knows how far he can go in the end?
