I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 862
Jiang Hao knelt down again, his eyes were slightly red, and he said excitedly,

"Jiang Hao, the next official, take orders!"

"Okay, Jiang Qianhu, let your people prepare and board the ship later, let's set off immediately!"

Without any hesitation, Jiang Hao got up and got off the boat. After a few simple orders, all the people in Yizhen's Thousand Households returned to their residences at an extremely fast speed.

With the fastest speed, put on the armor, take their own weapons, and quickly regroup under the ship.

However, what makes Chen Hong, Zhu Zhanji and others feel sad is that the most sophisticated equipment of these people in the Yizhen Thousand Households is nothing more than a bamboo or rattan armor. They are either blunt knives, grass and wood shields, or already born. rusty spear.

Some people don't even have all the armor on their bodies, and use a few worn clothes to make up for it.

And the most important archers are actually only three or five people including Jiang Hao.

You must know that the proportion of long-range lethal weapons such as bows and arrows is very important when fighting on water and river surfaces.

Until the last resort, when the real battle to the death, it is not necessary at all, to fight on board, hand to hand.

It can be imagined that two boats meet on the river, if the number of people on both sides is similar, the condition of the boats is similar.

It is extremely difficult for you to chase and flee from each other to close the distance between each other, so shooting arrows at each other from a distance, trying to kill the opponent's vital force as much as possible, is the normal state of water warfare.

But among the officers and soldiers of Yizhen Qianhu Office, there are only three or five archers. Such soldiers, let alone fight in water.

If they just stood there, it was hard to say whether they would be able to rush to the front of the team alive.

However, neither Zhu Zhanji nor the other officers and soldiers on the ship laughed at or discriminated against the team below with extreme tolerance.

Instead, he turned his face away in distress.

"They actually still dared to go out under such circumstances, this kind of courage alone has surpassed more than [-]% of the Ming Dynasty's army.

They should not be ridiculed, but should be respected by all! "

"In a country, the soldiers are the backbone of the country, if all the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are such hard bones that are not afraid of life and death.

In the whole world, who else would dare to infringe on Daming? "

There are only a hundred or so real soldiers in Yizhen Qianhusuo, and even counting auxiliary personnel such as boatmen, blacksmiths, and cooks, they are only in their early two hundred.

But when Jiang Hao was counting, he found that there were suddenly more than one hundred people.

After a closer look, they found that these people were all the fishermen who were arguing to lead the way for Chen Hong and others just now.

These people had no weapons, so they picked up a harpoon, straightened their bodies and mixed in with the team.

Wearing a dilapidated big basket on the body without armor, the whole person looks like a refined basket with arms and legs from a distance, which is very funny.

Jiang Hao knew in his heart what they were doing.

They also just want to do their part, and want to use their meager strength to rescue relatives who may no longer be.

He never imagined that there would be so many fishermen who lost their loved ones who would dare to use their blood to serve the country.

While being moved in my heart, it is more heartache and self-blame.

He dragged out of the team a little guy less than 1.5 meters tall who looked like he was thirteen or fourteen years old.

"Er Gazi, why are you joining in the fun? We are going out to fight this time, and we are going to fight people desperately. Hurry up and go home!"

Er Gazi retreated desperately, while retreating, he shouted loudly,

"My father was taken away by them. My second uncle and third uncle were also taken away by them in order to save my father. Now I am the only man in the family. If I don't go, who will rescue them back."

Jiang Hao was stunned for a moment, but he still persuaded him in a calm tone,

"Your father, second uncle and third uncle, there will be people from me and His Royal Highness to rescue you, you are still young, and there is a mother at home who wants you to take care of it.

In case you have nothing else to do, who do you want to take care of your mother? "

Hearing this, Er Gazi fell silent.

In the end, he threw away a short knife and a piece of wood that he didn't know where to remove in frustration.

With red eyes, he raised his head and said to Jiang Hao,
"Master Jiang, I know you are a good official, and I believe you will be able to rescue all of them."

After speaking, rubbing his eyes, turning his head three times a step, walked towards the direction of home.

At this time, Jiang Hao shouted to everyone,
"Everyone who is not a soldier comes out!"

But no one moved, especially the fishermen, who stood up straighter.

Jiang Hao said with a sigh,

"I'll say it one last time, this time I'm not going to have fun, but to fight the water thieves desperately, and I may bleed, or even lose my life.

Aren't you afraid! "

For a long time, there was no sound.

Just when Jiang Hao was about to use coercive means to drive them away, a slightly hoarse voice came from an unknown corner of the crowd.

"Of course we are afraid, but we are even more afraid. Every time we go to sea, it may be the last time. We are even more afraid that the whole family will be starved to death. We are even more afraid that future generations will have no way out.

I am afraid that the Yangtze River, which has fed countless people, will never have a clean day. I am afraid that along the banks of the river, there will be smoke everywhere, and the land will be full of hunger! "

"Fortunately, God sees you, the sky finally heard our call and sent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the fleet.

We have no long possessions, only a weak body, which can be used to drive and serve.

My lord, let us follow along!

Even if we die unfortunately, it is because of nature, and we will not blame anyone.

Even if the time comes to the underworld, we will die in battle for the glory of the people, instead of starving to death in a corner where no one is humiliated.

It sounds nicer to say, right?grown ups! ..."

This voice was not in a hurry, clear in order, and earnest in its words, which is definitely not something that ordinary people can say.

Jiang Hao searched for a while, and finally found it for him.

It turned out to be Yizhen County. The only teacher at present is Mr. Du Changdu, who is 50 years old.

In Yizhen, apart from Jiang Hao, who is a thousand households, this old man is the most beloved.

But at this time, he also stood up.

This made Jiang Hao even more embarrassed.

"Old man, it's fine if others are ignorant. You have read poetry and books and discerned things. How can you be so stubborn and confused? This is a war, and people will die!"

Mr. Du Chang smiled slightly,
"My lord, life is difficult everywhere. Fighting for our lives against the sky is not considered a war. Since we all dare to fight against the sky and the earth, why should we be afraid of tigers and wolves!"

His words made Jiang Hao lose his temper at all.

In the end, he saw that he could not persuade them anymore, so fortunately he stopped, turned around and said loudly to everyone,

"Since everyone insists on this, then I, Jiang Hao, will accompany you all to the battlefield, and we will live and die together!"

"Okay, live and die together!"
