The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 525

Minzhou.

However, within ten days, Gui Hou contacted more than [-] tribes, large and small, in the mountains of Fujian Province by virtue of his bravery.

Lured by the late Baiyue King's prestige and huge economic interests, these people are willing to work for Tianze.

Coupled with the fact that the Blue Dragon Club had been in touch before and was well prepared, within ten days, a team of nearly 3 people had been assembled.

The [-] Yue people who can fight are already a strong military force.

After the Shenwu Army of Yuezhou and Yangzhou were ordered to go north, there was an immediate vacancy in the defense forces of these two states.

Compared with Minzhou, Yangzhou and Yuezhou are more important financial and taxation areas in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they are places that cannot be lost for the cabinet.

Of course, the status of Minzhou is also extremely high, with the largest seaport in Dazhou - Licheng Port, and there is an endless stream of overseas businessmen coming and going.

In the three southeastern states, the imperial court did not want to give up on any of them.

As for Lingnan...it is still a barren land of exile.

But Southeast really couldn't mobilize more troops!
However, he had to be on guard against Japanese pirates, so he could only choose to divide the Shenwu army in Fujian into three batches, two of which went north to Yuezhou and Yangzhou!
The original Shenwu Army guarding Minzhou was only 2 people, and it was divided into three states at once, and the number of defenders in one state was less than 1.

Although there were patrol battalions in each city originally, the combat power of the patrol battalions is worrying, not even as good as the general military preparation army. They only maintain law and order and arrest bandits. If so, most likely there is nothing to fight back.

In a cottage of the Yue nationality, Er Longshou and Tian Ze were listening to Gui Hou's report.

"Your Highness, sir, now we have a total of 400 warriors capable of fighting, 120 pairs of bamboo and rattan armor, 20 homemade hunting bows, [-] scimitars, and [-] long spears. [-] feathered arrows..."

It sounds like a lot, but the feeling of Erlongshou is just one word - too poor.

Not to mention comparing with the main field army of the Great Zhou, even the city defense troops of the southern states are much better equipped than the Yue people.

For example, bamboo armor and rattan armor, which are one of the most commonly used armors in the south.

Not only the Baiyue tribes, but also these two types of armor were most widely used by the city defense army of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The weather in the south is humid, and iron armor is extremely prone to moisture and rust here.

Iron armor is not only expensive, but the maintenance cost in the south is not lower than the cost.As a result, Iron Armor has no market in the south.

Generally, the middle and senior generals of the Great Zhou had the conditions to maintain steel armor and iron armor, but ordinary soldiers could not afford to maintain it even if they could afford it.

Moreover, there are many jungles and rivers in the south, and the heavy weight of the armor is not conducive to combat here!

Therefore, bamboo armor, rattan armor and paper armor were produced in large quantities according to the rigid demand.

For example, for bamboo armor, you only need to cut and polish bamboo into bamboo pieces, and then connect them in series with tough ropes.The production process is the same as that of Zhajia, except that iron pieces are used for Zhajia, and bamboo pieces are used for Bamboo Jia.

Bamboo has excellent toughness and plasticity, and after removing water, it has a certain hardness, which is a good material for making armor.

Of course, this also has something to do with the opponents the Southern Army faced.

In the southeast area guarded by the Shenwu Army, the biggest enemies are Japanese pirates, Baiyue, and a small number of bandits.

Needless to say, Baiyue and bandits were extremely poorly equipped, and bamboo armor was sufficient for defense.

Although the Japanese swords made by Japanese pirates are sharp, they have always been mainly for chopping with blades, and their armor-piercing ability is extremely poor, and bamboo armor is enough to deal with it.

In addition, there is the most important point, the cost performance of bamboo is too high!

It grows extremely fast, can obtain local materials in the wild in the south, and the cost is extremely low. Together, it has become the most popular armor in the south.

Needless to say, the rattan armor is collected from vines and woven into armor. It has excellent defense, but it has obvious defects and is afraid of fire attack.

Bamboo armor is a pair in the Zhou army.

And the more high-end paper armor, the main force like the Shenwu Army is also equipped with a lot of equipment.

In comparison, the equipment of the Baiyue coalition army looked extremely shabby.

"Is that all there is?!" Tian Ze was a little dissatisfied.

"Forgive me, Son of Heaven! The ministries really can't gather more equipment!"

At the same time that Gui Hou confessed his crime, Er Longshou spoke.

"It's okay! Patriarch Gui, you just need to organize the manpower, we will figure out how to equip it!"

What the Azure Dragon Society lacks now is people, money?There are!
800 million taels, not only can change the [-] hundred Yue coalition forces, but also support the Qinglong Association to pull up an army of its own!
After taking down the states in the south of the Yangtze River, money, food and equipment will naturally flow in.

Guihou looked at Tianze with some embarrassment, and then said falteringly, "Your Highness, not only the equipment, but also our money and food!"

Er Longshou smiled, this is what he wanted. If it was an army with complete logistics support, they really couldn't control it.

Although Guihou respects Tianze now, the logistics of this Baiyue coalition army is controlled by the Qinglonghui.

An army without an independent logistics support system is just a group of rootless grasshoppers.

"Patriarch Gui, don't worry! I've prepared the food too! The first batch of [-] shi of food has been prepared! As long as the army moves out! It can be sent to the army!"

[-] shi of grain is enough to feed [-] troops for more than a month.

"However, Patriarch Gui, do you have food soldiers?"

Gui Hou immediately replied, "Sir, I belong to the Baiyue family. Men fight and women fight. You don't have to worry. As long as we have equipment and food, we are not afraid of the Zhou army!"

Ten years is still a long time, and the memory of Gui Hou being defeated by the Xiangwu Guard under the command of Dongou King faded away!
He felt like he was doing it again!

"That's great! Let's make an agreement to raise troops in northern Fujian in three days! Attack northern Fujian first, and then go straight to Yuezhou!"

With Minzhou as the foundation, and then capture Yuezhou, you will be able to dominate the south of the Yangtze River and peek at the Central Plains!
Gong Ziyu's great plan to restore the country is just around the corner! ——
Shanyin Mansion, Yuezhou Bank.

Busy in the middle of the night, the 800 million taels of payment have basically been taken out, and the rest is packed and transported!

Shangguan Jinhong directed a group of people to pack the boxes. According to the previous plan, after the boxing was completed, there would be a boat waiting to the south of the Yuezhou bank.

In Sanyin County, the Azure Dragon Society has already prepared a melting and casting furnace, and as soon as the treasury silver arrives, it can melt the silver into city silver.

Since then, the 800 million taels have disappeared mysteriously, and it is impossible to get them back.

"No life! Take a team of people to the south to see if the fleet is in place. If it is in place, then the first batch of silver can be shipped!"

"Yes!"

Jing Wuming took the order and was about to go outside the door when he noticed something attacking his front door.

"Keng!"

The sharp sword in the palm was unsheathed, and the sword was slashed out, and the foreign object that hit was split into two.

Jing Wuming looked through the firelight, it was a head, the head of a team leader.

"No need to go! Your ships are already under our control!"

A figure stood under the waning moon, and the blue dress fluttered in the wind.

Jing Wuming looked at the person coming with a heavy expression, and he held the sword hilt tightly!

"Liu Wangshu!"

Facing Liu Wangshu, Jing Wuming gritted his teeth tightly. Such a beautiful woman, even a ruthless person like Jing Wuming, could not avoid being moved.

But in the last fight, Jing Wuming could only last ten moves in Liu Wangshu's hands.

How could Jing Wuming, who had always been proud, endure this? After returning from the ancient Yue tribe, Jing Wuming accepted the suggestion of the Azure Dragon Association and learned the secret method of the Azure Dragon Association!
Just when Jing Wuming was about to strike, Shangguan Jinhong stepped forward to stop him!
"Don't pay attention to this girl, someone will naturally deal with him!"

As soon as the words fell, a Buddha's call sounded.

"Amitabha, girl, that day you used the power of the magic weapon to defeat the poor monk, but I'm afraid you will not be so lucky today!"

The figure of the five dragon heads appeared in front of Liu Wangshu.

Just when he was about to strike, a fierce sword energy struck from the side, forcing Wulongshou to dodge sideways,

In the darkness, a young swordsman with short hair and blue shirt came out slowly, with a black broken sword in his hand, but it matched him very harmoniously.

"Dali Temple, Ye Jianhan!"

Ye Jianhan is still a man who doesn't talk too much.

"Another junior!" Even though he said so, Wu Longshou still raised his vigilance in his heart.

In the cold winter, the snow and frost are gone, and the westerly wind is cold in thousands of miles.

Ye Jianhan also gained fame in the Jianghu after beheading the master of gold, the "Swordsman of Heaven" Nangong Mie.

The sudden changes in the world seem to have created an extraordinary prosperity of martial arts, and more and more young masters have begun to emerge.

And Ye Jianhan and Liu Wangshu are both outstanding among them.

"Think two people can deal with us?! Let alone the poor monk, even the elite of the Azure Dragon Society, you can't deal with it! Hahaha!"

The faces of the five dragons are still full of smiles, as if Maitreya came into the world.

Ye Jianhan didn't speak, but instead looked at him like a fool.

This fat monk may have some flaws in his intelligence. Since both of them appeared here, why would he naively think that only the two of them were here? !

Wu Longshou seemed to understand the contempt and sarcasm in Ye Jianhan's eyes, and was about to take action to teach this ignorant young man a lesson, but was stunned for a moment.

His sense of the heaven and earth tells him that there are large groups of people approaching the Yuezhou bank from the west and south!

But Wulongshou had clearly checked it out, and there was no ambush around the bank of Yuezhou. The west and south sides were less than a hundred feet away from the river, and there were no boats on the river. How could there be an ambush? !
Wu Longshou didn't have any doubts about this question for too long, and soon got the answer he wanted.

The soldiers who rushed into the bank of Yuezhou held bows, crossbows and swords, and wore sharkskin water cushions, on which water droplets continued to drip.

The leader is a man who is handsome and unbelievably handsome - Li Xunhuan, the governor of Yuezhou.

Yang Qingyuan had asked Li Xunhuan to bring the Qiantang navy to this place along the Jinghu waterway.

The soldiers of the Qiantang Navy, wearing water tanks and holding a bamboo pipe, hid underwater to escape the detection of the Qinglong Society.

Because of being soaked in water for a long time, the faces of the soldiers of the Qiantang Navy were swollen from the water even with the shark skin on them. In this serious scene, it looked a little funny.

Not long after, Di Zhiyuan from the west also arrived with his people!

They are also soldiers of the Qiantang navy wearing water tanks.

In the puzzled eyes of Shangguan Jinhong and Wulongshou, Li Xunhuan explained.

"Qing Yuan guessed that no matter what, you will be watching the garrison in Shanyin Mansion, so in order to hide it from you, he specially asked me to take the Qiantang Navy Division to Shanyin Mansion on a merchant ship."

Although Yang Qingyuan didn't know the details of the bank's matter, he knew that with the power of the Azure Dragon Society, he would definitely keep a close eye on the movement of the Shenwu army in the Shanyin Mansion, so he arranged for Li Xunhuan's surprise army, and it really played a huge role tonight. effect.

"Crossbow!"

When fighting on water, the arrow is the first.

The proficiency of the bow and crossbow of the Qiantang Marine Division is still higher than that of the Shenwu Army, and the Pogang arrow was strung up and aimed at the people of the Azure Dragon Club present.

Two thousand elite soldiers from the Qiantang Navy can deal with less than three hundred elite killers from the Azure Dragon Society.

Fighting in formation, how can you lose? !

Of course, it is not without variables, Wulongshou is in the realm of Fa Tianxiang, Shangguan Jinhong is in the Dongxuan realm, and Jing Wuming is a master who is equal to the combat power of the Dongxuan realm.

These three are the turning points of the Azure Dragon Club.

At this time, without the check and balance of Xuanyuan Sword, the combat power of the three of them could be maximized.

In this kind of place, the three of them shot with all their strength, and two thousand elite soldiers from the Qiantang Navy were really not enough!

Ye Jianhan secretly sent a voice transmission to Liu Wangshu, "I can't beat the law of heaven and earth!"

In the face of Fa Tianxiang and Land Realm, even if Liu Wangshu and Ye Jianhan teamed up, there was no chance of winning. Fa Tian Xiang and Land Realm controlled the vitality of heaven and earth, and its combat power was far stronger than Dongxuan.

"It's okay! Just hit first!"

Liu Wangshu is full of self-confidence, but he is just a mere law of heaven and earth, so don't panic!
Ye Jianhan couldn't understand Liu Wangshu's self-confidence, but since he had already said so, he wouldn't retreat at this time!

"Zheng!"

Broken Sword Remnant Snow blew softly in Ye Jianhan's palm, the sword energy was like frost, and Ye Jianhan took the lead in attacking.

There is a storm!

After experiencing the battle against Nangong, Ye Jianhan's sword energy became more and more lonely.

The sword energy and sword intent are like frost and snow.

Xueba Fengtao wrapped the five dragon heads from ten directions.

"Amitabha!"

Wulong uttered the Buddha's name and admired in his heart, this Ye Jianhan is indeed a rare swordsman, and his talent in swordsmanship is no less than Liu Wangshu's.

Facing the frosty sword energy, the five dragon heads circulated their true energy around them, and the dark golden true energy surrounded the five dragon heads' bodies, as if they had cast a Buddhist golden body.

No matter how raging the sword energy is, it will be difficult to break through the five dragon heads.

Liu Wangshu, who was originally in front of Wulongshou, also appeared behind him in an illusion.

Wangshu four tactics, the sword is like a bright moon!
The sword intent swayed down from the top of the five dragon heads, and the moonlight shrouded the five dragon heads.

Facing such a fierce attack, Wu Longshou seemed to be able to handle it with ease.

The two fists blast out, the strength of the fists fills the sky and the earth, and it has a suction force, making it impossible for the enemy to avoid it.

The calamity of ten stops, stop and contemplate!
Just as the three of them started to fight, Shangguan Jinhong and Jing Wuming already had the intention of retreating.

For Di Zhiyuan and Li Xunhuan to appear here, they must have made complete preparations.

When the two were about to flee with lightness kung fu, a figure stood in front of Shangguan Jinhong and the other two.

"Where are the two going!?"

Commander of Jinyi Weidong Town Fusi, Qinglong, join us!
