Zhao Zhen never thought that with just one move, he would actually find a hero. His martial arts skills are not much worse than San Ruan's.

In March, Tiangang called, but it was Yang Xiong from Beidi. Zhao Zhen was disappointed when he saw the news that day. After all, in a few days, Zhao Zhen plans to send someone to the North to buy horses. With Yang Xiong taking care of him, it will naturally go more smoothly.

The next day, Zhao Zhen had breakfast early. Under the service of Hu Sanniang, he put on willow leaf and bamboo armor, held a reed leaf gun in his hand, and hung iron and sea-patterned silver swords from his waist.

Hu Sanniang put on Zhao Zhen's armor and said at the same time: "When officers go into battle, be careful. Unfortunately, I don't know how to swim. Otherwise, I would always protect the officers."

Zhao Zhen is of the second level, and with real swords and guns, he is naturally no match for Hu Sanniang of the third level. After hearing this, he didn't argue and said: "When we built this manor, we deliberately diverted water into the valley. I asked brother Tao Zongwang to build a fence in the valley. In the summer, you and other sisters can go there to play in the water. I heard Ruan Xiaoer once said that his wife is also good at water. You can ask her to teach you how to wait for water, but now that she is pregnant, I'm afraid it won't be convenient. "

Hu Sanniang said: "It doesn't matter, there are many fishermen girls in the county, and there are many who want to return to the fishermen. I'll ask the Ruan family's sister-in-law to ask for help."

Zhao Zhen nodded. He was neatly dressed, and under the protection of seven or eight sumo villagers led by Yu Baosi, Jiao Ting, Zhang Qi, etc., he rode to the back gate water village on horseback.

In the water village, Ruan Xiaowu and Ruan Xiaoqi each led their teams to gather together, with seventy or eighty large and small warships. The [Chongfengdu] commanded by [Sangmengod] Bao Xu and [Sai Mengben] Yan Shude took off their armor and boarded the ship.

Zhao Zhen used the 艨艨艨艴 battleship as the commanding ship. After the three drums, the boat went ahead, and the other ships followed one by one, heading towards Shijie Lake.

When he reached the border of the mist, Zhao Zhen worshiped heaven and earth on the boat, burning paper and incense. The fog receded and the two lakes were connected. When Ruan Xiaoer saw it, he made people wave the red flag on the boat, and warships of all sizes poured into Shijie Lake.

After entering the lake, Ruan Xiaoer said: "Master, Shijie Lake is no better than Liangshan Lake. This place is vast and undulating, with reed water harbors and many branches. The paths are very complicated, and the water is swaying in the ponds. Many places are inaccessible. Big ship. We need to divide our forces here."

Wu Yong said: "Your brother is familiar with the geography here. Please tell me how to divide the troops."

Ruan Xiaoer said: "The boat is small and the draft is shallow, so it is no problem for boats to go anywhere in Luhuadang. Let Wulang and Qilang take the people in the small boat and take a shortcut to go first. When they meet the villagers, it is time to inquire about what is going on now. The situation in Shijie Village. I only took the rest of the big boat into the deep water."

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen said: "What my brother said makes sense." He immediately adjusted the fleet. Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, and Ouyang Shoutong led a group of sailors and drove away and submerged themselves into the reed marsh.

Zhao Zhen and others also rowed the big boat to the opposite side. After about half an hour, they saw a gondola approaching from a distance, and they saw Ruan Xiaoqi standing on the bow. After a while, they walked to the side of Zhao Zhen's boat, and Ruan Xiaoqi climbed up along the dropped rope.

After seeing the ceremony, Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Master, we have found out the situation. The officers and soldiers who came here to catch the thieves have already left. Only more than 20 sergeants are left to protect a few Yazi. Collect fish. These corrupt officials are short of money. The fish they catch every day, excluding the boat tax, is not enough for the whole family. "

"This group of people knew that what they had done was outrageous and unloved by the villagers. They occupied the second brother's old house, tidied it up, and collected fish here. They did not dare to live in the village at night, but they occupied the fifth brother's lake residence and re-opened it. The house was repaired.”

Ruan Xiaoer heard this and said angrily: "We are going to get rid of these worms today."

Wu Yong also asked: "Have the brothers in the village been there?"

Ruan Xiaoqi shook his head and said: "I met a few fishing neighbors, asked some questions, and then came to report. My brothers and I should not go to the village to show up, so as not to alert the snake. Brother Ouyang Shoutong led someone to sneak in Village Square.”

After a while, Ouyang Shouting and Ruan Xiaowu all returned here, accompanied by more than 30 large and small fishing boats, all fishermen from Shijie Village. Today I met Ruan Xiaowu and others while fishing. In order to prevent the news from leaking, I brought them all over. These fishermen heard that they wanted to get rid of the teeth and sergeants who harmed the people, but they did not resist and rushed to be a guide.

Ouyang Shoutong told the news he had heard from the village, and these fishermen also spoke the same way.

Wu Yong said: "If there were only these people, there would be no need for any strategy. Brother Ruan Xiaoqi led people to occupy Ruan Xiaowu's old residence in the lake and captured the soldiers who stayed behind. Then he sent a few fishermen to report, saying that there were people in the lake They met the Ruan brothers who had sneaked back and were confronting the officers and soldiers at Xiaowu's old residence in Huli. They lured the sergeants to capture them. The Ouyang brothers led people to capture the sergeants and Yazi who had stayed in the village to prevent one from getting away. ”

At the moment, everyone acted according to the plan.

Ruan Xiaoqi brought seven or eight boats and rushed into Ruan Xiaowu's old residence. The more than ten sergeants in the house had long been slacking off. They didn't expect that someone would come to the island for a sneak attack. They were not prepared at all and were captured without even a decent resistance. Down.

They stripped these people of their clothes and escorted them to the cabin to guard them. He put on several sergeants of similar stature, pretending to be officers and soldiers, and confronted Ruan Xiaoqi and others.

Besides, Ruan Xiaoqi picked two fishermen he knew well and went to report the news. After hearing this, the leader of the fish harvesting team surrounded the Ruan brothers, immediately ordered his men and horses, and drove off in the boat. After the sergeant left, Ouyang Shoutong led seven or eight sergeants pretending to be fishermen and carried two baskets of catch from the fishing boat into the thatched house. When Yu Yazi came to weigh the fish, he tied up all four Yazi in the house. .

I asked the fishermen who came with me to identify it, and all four teeth were there.

But it was said that the leader of the garrison was driving a boat and saw from a distance that twenty or thirty people in Gaobu were divided into two groups and fighting together. Judging from the situation, they actually surrounded Ruan Xiaoqi and his group, and immediately shouted loudly: "Hurry up." Let's row hard and catch these fugitives. We will be able to transfer them out of this poor village."

The sergeants on the boat made a noise and rowed forward with more force. There were also several gang leaders, such as captains, standing on the bow of the boat, shouting loudly: "We have surrounded these bandits, don't let them go."

When they arrived at the shore, before the boat could stop, a group of sergeants rushed to the shore, pulled out their swords and guns, and rushed towards Ruan Xiaoqi and others. When they met each other, Ruan Xiaoqi raised his arms and lowered his hands, killing two people in a row. The sergeants also stepped forward. Before the sergeants could figure out the situation, the swords and guns were already placed on their necks.

The messenger notified Zhao Zhen and others who were waiting on the big ship to sail over and count the people. Except for the two people Ruan Xiaoqi killed, they were all here.

Zhao Zhen said: "As promised, I will take a boat to Shijie Village for a visit, and then ask the heavy frontmen to wear their armor and go to the village for a visit as a deterrent."

Everyone did as ordered. The three Ruan brothers and the fishermen who left at the beginning were also neatly dressed, held their heads high, and walked around the village, feeling like they were returning home in fine clothes.

The people in the village met the three Ruan brothers and heard that the three were now the captains of the navy in Liangshan County. Now that they had returned to their hometown, except for the greedy Yu Yazi, they would be stationed in Shijie Village from now on, and they cheered thunderously.

Because of the fog, the imperial power did not go to the countryside. Although these villages far away from the county town each have their own ownership, the taxes are not sent to the court. The county magistrates and magistrates and others use them as envoy money, or even put them into their own pockets.

Therefore, the imperial court did not care which county the villages belonged to. This was also the strategy set by Wu Yong and Zhu Wu, to occupy more villages and leave the county seat alone. As long as they don't attract the imperial army, the Imperial Guards in the county are no match for Liangshan County.

After a show of force, Ruan Xiaoer led Li Zheng Ruan Dian to see Zhao Zhen. From what Ruan Xiaoer said, Ruan Dian is still a distant uncle of the family. Seeing Zhao Zhen, Ruan Dian threw himself to the ground and said, "Thank you to the high official for helping us get rid of this harm. From now on in Shijie Village, only the high official will obey. I wonder how many soldiers the high official will leave to garrison?"

As he said this, he looked at Zhao Zhen carefully, but he was worried that Zhao Zhen would have few people left behind and Shijie Village would be taken back by Jeju Prefecture officers and soldiers. When the time comes, I'm afraid some reckoning will be inevitable.

Zhao Zhen asked someone to help Ruan Dian up and said, "Don't worry, Li Zheng. From now on, Brother Ruan Xiaowu will lead a whole army to garrison here, with thirty or fifty warships. We will recruit fifty or seventy people from the village to make up 400 people." How are people?"

After hearing this, Ruan Dian smiled and said: "In this case, we can rest assured. With so many soldiers and horses, we are not afraid of Jeju government coming to seize them. Wulang and many sergeants are fellow villagers, so we are naturally willing to surrender to high officials."

With that said, Ruan Dian took out a village chronicle from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Zhen.

In April, if Shijie Lake is fully occupied, Shijie Village will invest in it, and their luck will be +10.

Zhao Zhen encouraged Ruan Dian with a few words, and then sent Ruan Dian out of Ruan Xiaoer's old residence. Zhao Zhen looked through the village records in his hand. There were 533 households in Shijie Village, distributed inside and outside Shijie Lake, with seven or eight large and small settlements. Every household has a fishing boat. In addition to fishing and shrimp fishing, each household also has three to five acres of fields and vegetable gardens.

After Zhao Zhen saw it, he discussed it with Wu Yong and decided that the land acres still needed to be re-determined and registered. And two people were selected from the county officials to come here, one to serve as deputy chiefs and supervise the villages. Secondly, it is also necessary to repurchase the catches caught by fishermen.

The plan was decided, and Ruan Xiaowu and deputy general Ouyang Shouting were ordered to lead 250 people from [Hai Loach Capital] to move to Shijie Lake. After Zhao Zhen returned, he asked Tao Zongwang to bring people over and built Ruan Xiaowu's old residence in the lake into a water village. Soldiers were stationed in the lake to guard against anyone coming from Jeju Prefecture. If there are fewer people, fight; if there are more people, defend and wait for reinforcements from the army.

After that, Zhao Zhen did not stop, took the prisoners and catch, and sailed back to Baishizhuang Water Village. The next day, Xiao Rang took people to Shijie Village to preside over the field measurement and household registration matters.
