Water Margin people

At this time, the city of Dengzhou Prefecture was full of soldiers, as if they were facing an enemy.

Wang Shizhong was not in the mood to take care of any enemies, he had already sent the news of Liaodong to Tokyo, and now he was focused on waiting for the emperor's order.

"It's just thieves. As long as His Majesty agrees to send troops to attack Liao from the sea, those thieves will be wiped out instantly."

Master Wang sipped his tea and said lightly, although the thieves attacked Daoyu Village were bold, but after all they hid their heads and showed their tails and dared not show their real bodies, so it can be seen that they are nothing more than rogue bandits.

"Lord Zhizhou, Dengzhou Mansion has been thoroughly checked, and no suspicious person has been found."

Sun Li walked into the Zhizhou Yamen with his whole body on, and clasped his fists at Wang Shizhong.

"It's fine if you don't have it. I have already reported this matter to the court."

Master Wang nodded.

Sun Li felt relieved, he had traveled all over Dengzhou non-stop for the past two days, but fortunately he was not responsible, otherwise he would have been killed as a soldier.

"So the thief really came from the sea!"

Zong Ze looked in the direction of the sea.

"General Huyan, how many warships are there now?"

Zong Ze looked at Hu Yanqing and asked.

"Back to Mr. Tong, all the large ships were attacked and sunk by thieves, and now there are only dozens of small ships that can still sail."

Hu Yanqing replied.

"There are only so few boats left!"

Zong Ze frowned tightly. Only such a small boat is not enough to go out to sea to suppress bandits.

"Since this is the case, I will write to the court again, please allocate some loach warships."

Master Wang said.

"I'm afraid it's too late! It will take at least a year to build the warship, and it will be too late when the warship delivers everything!"

Zong Ze shook his head.

"Then let the Southern Navy come to support! There are so many ships in the South, so it's not a problem to send more than a dozen ships."

Master Wang said.

As soon as this remark was made, everyone present was silent. The differences between the North and the South in the war were very great. If they wanted to transfer ships from the Southern Navy to the North to help in the war, it might not be useful even if the emperor issued an order. Those old warships.

"In this way, we will gather civilians locally to build warships, and also recruit merchant ships and fishing boats in Dengzhou, and organize the fleet to go out to sea as soon as possible to investigate. We must find out where the thieves come from."

Zong Ze thought for a while and said, the unknown thieves are entrenched near Dengzhou, which makes him restless, and he must find out the details of the thieves.

"Yes!"

Seeing that Wang Shizhong had no objection, Hu Yanqing immediately clasped his fists and said, "Dengzhou is located by the sea and has always been an important port in the north. There are many merchant ships, so it is not a problem to gather a group.

……

Salmonella Island.

"If the direction is right, five or six days will be enough!"

Xu Guanzhong looked at the map on the wall with a smile, and played with a small compass in his hand. As expected of the Ping Navy who has been stationed in Dengzhou for a long time, the charts of the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea are extremely detailed.

"The military division is going to sea!"

Ruan Xiaoer was startled, Xu Guanzhong's words clearly meant to leave.

"That's right, I'm planning to go to Liaodong myself! This sea route is already very mature, and the imperial court used to go here when buying horses."

Xu Guanzhong smiled and pointed to a marked sea route.

"Military Master, I'm not worried about the sea route. It's just that the Jurchens are fighting against the Khitans in Liaodong. The Jurchens are brutal. It may be dangerous for the Military Master to go there!"

Ruan Xiaoer quickly said, with the strength of their navy, they are already invincible in the East China Sea and Bohai Sea, and crossing the sea is not a problem, but what about the danger on the other side of the sea?
"Yeah, military divisions overseas are all barbarians, it was too dangerous in the past!"

Fei Bao also tried to persuade him that he had studied the overseas situation. Although the overseas people were ignorant, they were also brutal and brutal, like wild animals, who would easily hurt people.

"Why don't you ask my brother to send some more people?"

Ruan Xiaowu opened his mouth and said, the ones who came out this time were all sailors, so they are not afraid of anything on the water, but when they go on land, the south side is not strong enough, and there are many masters in Liangshan, so it is better to call some more.

"Don't worry, everyone. This time it's just a trial. It's not good if there are too many people. Daoist Ma and I are fine. I have no intention of going deep into Liaodong, and there will be no danger."

Xu Guanzhong said, this time he plans to take Ma Ling, who is proficient in the local language of the Liao Kingdom, with him.

"Military division, Xiao Qi will accompany you too! With Xiao Qi here, no one can touch a hair of the military division!"

Ruan Xiaoqi said.

"Military division, let Xiaoqi take the third fleet with you!"

Seeing Xu Guanzhong's insistence, Ruan Xiaoer didn't stop him anymore, but he also agreed to let Ruan Xiaoqi lead people there. Ma Ling's martial arts are already strong, and Ruan Xiaoqi and Zhang Shun are even masters in water warfare. It's safe.

"Well, let's set off today, so I can report the situation in Liaodong to my brother earlier."

Xu Guanzhong nodded.

Everyone watched Xu Guanzhong, Ma Ling, Ruan Xiaoqi, and Zhang Shun lead the fleet northward.

"Second brother, I just got a report from an eyeliner that Dengzhou is collecting merchant ships and fishing boats."

Ruan Xiaowu said in a low voice.

"Merchants and fishing boats? Let them see what naval warfare is!"

Ruan Xiaoer said coldly, this time they came out to control the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea, and also to practice naval warfare. Although Liangshan Po is big, it is not as wide as the sea after all.

"Why don't I take someone there first?"

Fei Bao said.

"Alright, Brother Fei Bao will take the lead!"

Ruan Xiaoer nodded.

At the port of Dengzhou, seven or eight large merchant ships have assembled in place, and there are hundreds of small fishing boats beside them.

"General Huyan, do you have the specific location of the thief?"

Sun Li looked at Hu Yanqing and asked, as a military officer in Dengzhou, he has the responsibility to catch the bandits and suppress them. If the bandits go ashore, it will be his responsibility, and he must make preparations early.

"It's nothing more than those islands!"

Hu Yanqing pointed to several islands in the north. The coast of Dengzhou had already been searched, and there were no traces of thieves. The only places where thieves could hide were a few offshore islands.

"Then you can go to Salmon Island first, if the thieves come by boat, they will definitely be able to see it!"

Sun Li looked at Hu Yanqing and said, Salmon Island is the closest to Dengzhou.

"General Huyan, this time I'm just going to sea to investigate, so there's no need to fight recklessly with the thieves."

Zong Ze looked at Hu Yanqing and said, this temporary fleet is all civilian ships, the combat strength is definitely not enough, and the thieves are cruel, if they fight, they might not be able to resist.

"Don't worry, Mr. Tong San, I will go back in the future!"

Hu Yanqing clasped his fists in salute, but he was careless in his heart. The last time Daoyu Village was attacked by the enemy while taking advantage of the thick fog. What kind of.

"Sail, go to sea!"

Hu Yanqing gave an order, and the newly formed fleet set sail.

"Before Hu Yanqing comes back, he will strictly guard Dengzhou Mansion to prevent thieves from sneaking into the city."

Zong Ze looked at Sun Li and ordered.

"Yes, the judgment is fair."

Sun Li clasped his fists and said.

After everyone left, Sun Li began to ignore the task of patrolling the city.

"Master Tijutsu!"

An officer ran to Sun Li and whispered in his ear.

"What! How could they be caught!"

Sun Li's expression changed.

"Isn't there a tiger on Mount Dengzhou? Those two, Mr. Mao outside the city..."

The guard said in a low voice.

"Nowadays there are thieves and bandits outside the city. At this time, we must deal with them carefully. Please don't make any noise."

Sun Li looked at the guard and said.

After everyone dispersed, Sun Li returned to his house in the city.
