Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 142 Pirates Attack
After Pang Wanchun finished writing the letter, he asked Zhang Han for help, and escorted the man halfway before putting him on his boat.

Zhang Han led dozens of people to row the centipede boat and escort the man to the vicinity of Hailong Island.

Zhang Han said: "I asked you to write the letter, and I am afraid that you will not hand it over to your masters, so I have to give you a mark."

"What mark?"

With a wave of Zhang Han's hand, and with a light swipe of the snowflake iron dagger, the man's ears fell off.

"Ah." The man screamed.

Zhang Han bandaged him with gauze, and said: "It's all right now, don't worry if you pretend you don't know, your ears are gone, the head of the house must know that you have leaked."

This spy was unlucky enough, he lost one of his ears, grinning his teeth in pain and shaking the boat back, when he arrived at the pier, his ear was found to be broken, so he immediately reported to the boss.

There is a big house, which is Naohailong’s Juyi Hall. There is a charcoal stove burning in the freezing hall. Naohailong, mixed sea whales, one-eyed sharks, and the third brother are drinking wine.

The spy with one ear arrived, came in crying, and said, "Master, you have to be the master for me."

Nao Hailong drank too much, but he didn't react when he saw the spy with gauze wrapped around his head, and asked, "Who are you?"

"The boss, it's me, sea loach."

"Oh, it turned out to be a sea loach. Didn't I ask you to investigate the situation, why did you break your head?" Nao Hailong asked.

The sea loach said: "These people are thieves, they caught me, cut off my ears, and asked me to bring you a letter."

"Useless things, bring the letter here."

Someone handed the letter over, but Hai Long held it upside down. In fact, he doesn't know how to read, but if you say he doesn't know how to read, he will be impatient with you.

The one-eyed shark understood the big brother's heart and said, "Brother, you drink, let me read such trivial things as reading the letter."

"Okay, third child, you come and read."

The youngest one-eyed shark didn't know everything, but he could probably understand the meaning. After reading it, he said: "Cangzhou regiment trainer Chai Lin, that is, the owner of Chai Zhuang, let us rein in the precipice, turn our backs on the shore, and take refuge in the past. After we say it, we can still eat and drink spicy food." Yes, you can still make money."

Nao Hailong laughed loudly: "Hahaha, do you believe this? The most we can do is to be an officer, and there are many rules. In the army, we are not allowed to drink too much alcohol, and we are not allowed to find women. If we happen to violate the military rules, we will be cut off one day." head."

Huan Haijing said: "Third brother, it's not my brother talking about you. What's the difference between Chai Jin and us? He just changed his name to Chai Lin recently. He became a regiment training commander and recruited some farmers. He looks quite bluffing. In fact, it's nothing, the recruits are not even considered, and they are far worse than us thousands of people."

One-eyed Shark said: "I just feel that what we did was not right. We agreed to collect money to keep them safe, but ended up burning their wood a few days ago."

Nao Hailong said: "The third one is wrong. What we said is to allow them to open iron mines and transport goods back and forth to protect their safety. As a result, they want to build a dock and build a big ship. That's okay. When they build a big ship, they will pay them back." There is nothing wrong with us, so we must nip this crisis in the bud, otherwise we will never have anything to eat in the future."

"Understood, big brother, second brother." Cyclops said.

This matter, he is not human at both ends of the quarrel, he collected the protection fee of 2000 taels, and agreed to keep the family safe, but in the end, after only a few days, the head of the family sent someone to burn the wood of the family, and this caused trouble.

But Nao Hai Long is his elder brother, and he can't turn his back on him, so he can only do this.

Nao Hailong said: "Tomorrow, the whole island will mobilize for big military training. Judging from this posture, they will not let it go."

Huanhaijing said: "Tomorrow, I will bring some people to go and test the reality."

"It's okay, this guy surnamed Chai has been getting too much attention recently, so the second child went to test it out, be careful, and retreat if something goes wrong." Nao Hailong said.

"Okay, let's continue drinking."

The three of them drank and sang and danced.

The next morning, at the construction site of Dinghai Port, braving the severe cold and sea breeze, five hundred newly recruited young men from Qingzhou were busy with construction. To build docks, storage warehouses and other places, the first step is to have a flat site without forklifts , without excavators, can only rely on the hands of workers.The miners in Qingzhou adopted a militarized organization, with a group of ten people and a leader of ten people, and a team of a hundred people and a leader of a hundred men.When working, they are strong men, and they can be temporarily formed into an army once they encounter a situation.

The equipment of the miners is still very sophisticated, including cross picks, steel shovels, and wheelbarrows.Hundreds of workers were busy back and forth, and Chai Lin led Dian Zhengnan, Xie Zhen, and Xie Bao, and a group of four inspected the construction site.

Chai Lin shouted at the top of his voice: "Brothers, work hard, your hard work will be rewarded."

The miners didn't take it seriously either. A big local tyrant and a miner called each other brothers, and if you were serious, you would lose.

Chai Lin went on to say: "When eating at noon, each person gets a pair of coarse cloth gloves, and has hand protection to keep warm when working. There is pork bone soup for dinner, and all the quilts for sleeping are new. I won't give you any old ones." use."

I have no doubts about these miners. As Shandong people, their eating habits are different from those in Cangzhou.In order to take care of them, Chailin bought griddles from Shandong, arranged for a few people who can make pancakes to make pancakes for them, and specially shipped Shandong green onions from Dengzhou, because they used to roll green onions in pancakes when they ate.The clothes and hats are all new, and even the bedding is new. It is very rare to be able to do this.

And the working hours are four hours a day, and five hours at most when busy.

"Don't worry, my lord, we will work hard and do well without a supervisor." The miners responded.

Chai Lin also found the feeling of being a leader, wearing a beautiful cowhide armor, a helmet with red tassels, and three big men behind him.

Dianzhengnan, a boy pretending to be a tiger, followed Chailin with a pair of big steel halberds on his back, each weighing [-] jin, and the two weighing [-] jin. They were very sharp and durable.

Xie Zhen and Xie Bao didn't assign tasks for the time being. They held a steel fork in their hands, and carried a bow and arrow on their backs, temporarily serving as Chailin's bodyguards.

It was noon soon, and the bell rang in the dining hall of the tent, and it was time to eat.

The miners gathered their tools, arranged them in order, and went to eat.

At this time, the pro-barracks in charge of the lookout came to report, saying: "My lord, I found ten pirate warships with about 300 people."

"Don't fire the cannons, let them come into the port, and they will close the door and beat the dogs later." Chailin arranged.

"Yes." The messenger rode back on a fast horse to deliver the message.

Chai Lin arranged again: "The miners retreat, and the light cavalry return to camp. I'm afraid they won't dare to go ashore if there are too many people."

"Yes." The orders were passed on in an orderly manner.

When the miners heard that the pirates were coming, they were busy and undisturbed. They each took their own food, retreated slowly, and went to find a place to eat dry food in the leeward direction.

Pang Wanchun led the light cavalry back to the battalion, only Chai Lin was guarding the shore with some thirty personal soldiers.

On the sea, on the bow of the centipede ship, the mixed sea whale stood on the bow and held the ghost knife and laughed loudly, saying: "Brothers, have you seen it, have you seen it, we haven't reached the shore yet, Zhuang Ding, who is working They ran away, and a hundred cavalrymen also ran away, leaving more than 30 people. Seeing that the man was wearing armor, he was obviously a leader, and he was probably Chailin. It was a great achievement for us to capture him."
