Chapter 78 The Heavily Armed Landing

All Han villages were in sorrow and anger and fear.

This plain, which is the Jianan Plain in later generations, still has more than 3,000 immigrants from Han people. They were all refugees from Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong who were unable to bear the enslavement of the harsh government of the Yuan Dynasty after the fall of the Song Dynasty. They risked their lives to go to sea because they had no way to survive.

They all took small boats across the ocean and came here aimlessly, most of them were buried in the sea on the way to come, and only half of them were lucky enough to land on the shore.

When they first came, they found that the land here was fertile, no one planted, and no government office. They were like paradise, cheering and thinking that they could own their own land and live a good life from now on.

Moreover, there are many abandoned village houses here, which obviously were inhabited decades ago, so they didn't even need to build more houses, just repair them.

However, soon someone found many headless bones in abandoned villages.

Don’t think that these corpses were the ones who came across the sea before. Who was the one who slaughtered them?

The new refugees began to panic, but the attractiveness of the fertile land was too great, and it was an irresistible wealth for them, the Han people.

So, everyone still had the courage to stay.

But soon, they knew who the immigrant predecessors died.

A lifestyle!

Although there are no Tartar officials and brutal Mongolian officials here, there are cruel mountain children like evil ghosts!

Just last year, there were more than 6,000 people in this land, but in just half a year, more than a dozen villages were massacred. If there weren't hundreds of people coming across the sea one after another, there wouldn't be even 3,000 people now.

First, the villages close to the mountains were affected, and slowly, the villages far away from the mountains also began to suffer.

Those born in the wild are not tall, have black faces, ugly appearance, and have red backs and feet, have broken hair and tattoos, chiseled teeth and pierced ears, which are almost savages. Even the barbarians of the Tartars are much more open than those of the Shans.

However, these Shengfans are extremely fierce and cruel, brave and good at fighting, and there are also many people. Although Shengfan's weapons are extremely backward, they are just scimitars and spears made of bronze and bows made of bamboo, they have an advantage in weapons compared to those who lack swords and guns.

Most of them are farmers, and their iron tools are hoes, plows, and sickles, at most they are scissors, hatchets, and fire tongs.

Moreover, almost no one is willing to "turn plows into swords". After all, farm tools are also the foundation of farmers. If the iron tools on the farm tools are refined into swords and guns, how can they farm?

Weapons are not the most deadly thing, and hoes are not impossible to compete with bronze spears. The most deadly problem is: a plate of loose sand!

Although dozens of small villages have contact with each other, they do not belong to each other and do their own affairs, and they are in a mess. Thousands of Han immigrants have no leader to this day.

In the past, in order to resist the Shengfan, each village held several meetings and wanted to elect a chief minister. However, people in Zhejiang wanted to elect a Zhejiang, people in Fujian wanted to elect a Fujian, and people in Guangdong wanted to recommend a Guangdong, but they were not convinced. After several discussions, they could not select a chief minister, which hurt the harmony.

A plate of loose sand!

Seeing that other villages were slaughtered, except for rabbits and foxes who were sad and hurt the race, they were helpless and were passively beaten.

Many people even thought of going out to sea to escape.

At this time, in the newly built ancestral hall in Linshui Village, the village chief Lin Biju was sitting on the chair of the meeting with a sad and angry look on his face, his tone was extremely heavy.

"If the villages don't unite, we Han immigrants will be killed like pigs and dogs! Some people want to go back to the sea, but can they still go back? Most of them are they feeding the fish as soon as the boat capsizes!"

Linshui Village was originally a village in Zhejiang, with most of the villagers surnamed Lin. After migrating, Linshui Village was rebuilt here, and the village chief was still the original Lin Biju.

Lin Biju was a scholar in the Song Dynasty and had some talent. He was also a village chief for many years and still had the ability to manage a village.

However, there are several immigrant village chiefs who have the fame of scholars, including Fujian and Guangdong, so naturally they cannot become the chief manager with the fame of scholars.

A tall young man said: "The village chief, you have to find a way to unite no matter what. Otherwise, the next time the childbirth comes, will you sit back and wait for death? This time you must fight with the childbirth!"

The young man was named Zhang Lian, and he was from Linshui Village. He was not a village elder and was not qualified to come to the ancestral hall to discuss matters, but because he had been the chief of Song Jun, he made an exception to attend the meeting.

Lin Biju sighed and thought for a while and said, "Zhang Lian, you send the villagers to inform the village chiefs of each village and ask them to go to Gurong Village tomorrow to discuss major events!"

Gurong Village is a village of Fujian. The reason why I went there to discuss matters is because it is located in the center of each village and is only a dozen miles away from the edge of the village.

What Lin Biju didn't know was that the village chiefs of each village made the same decision, and the locations they chose were all in Gurong Village without exception!

Once the Han people are really forced to do something, they will never be willing to be a pig and sheep and wait for death.

Early the next morning, all the thirteen immigrant village chiefs arrived at Gurong Village and discussed the major issues again. They all looked solemn and anxious.

At the critical moment of life and death, the fish on the chopping board have to jump a few times, let alone thousands of people?

…………

Just as Han immigrants were nervously discussing matters, Li Luo finally saw the huge island.

"It's the treasure island! You can get ashore in one hour at most!" Cui Xiuning said happily.

Li Luo smiled and said, "It's really not easy. The sea is bumpy for six days and finally we are about to get ashore. Are you sure the Jianan Plain is ahead?" His literary and historical knowledge is too strong than Cui Xiuning, but Cui Xiuning's map and geography knowledge is too strong than him.

Cui Xiuning said with certainty: "My route will not be much error, and I will definitely be able to land in the Jianan Plain."

The Jianan Plain is located on the western coast of Baodao, with an area of ​​4,000 square kilometers. It has fertile land, crisscross rivers, and abundant resources. Once fully developed, it will be enough to feed a million people.

Cui Xiuning chose the landing point in the northern part of the Jianan Plain. Because the route is closest, immigrants from mainland China are also the easiest to reach this area.

More than an hour later, when he was about to log in, Li Luo immediately ordered all the township warriors, private soldiers, and Jurchen spirits to put on armor, distribute weapons, and be fully armed.

He knew that the treasure island today is not a good place, but there are many fierce and savage creatures. If they encounter attacks as soon as they get ashore, how can they have time to pierce armor?

With Li Luo's order, the Jurchen refugees from each ship immediately began to select strong people. This group of Jurchen refugees were mainly young and strong, many of them were veterans who had followed Yan Duo before.

Therefore, more than 1,800 people actually selected 500 strong men, and most of them were tall.

An hour later, the fleet approached the coast. Li Luo took off his Korean Zhouyi and changed into a set of black-painted mountain iron armor. Then he chose the most suitable place to land, stopped the ship and broke down, and organized the ship to disembark.

Only when he really stepped on the land did Li Luo confirm that he had really set foot on this island.

Cui Xiuning wore a lighter warrior leather armor. Although the Japanese anti-Song Heiqishanwen iron armor was not as heavy as the real Song armor, it was nearly thirty pounds. She was a little difficult to wear as a woman.

Everyone got off the boat, and even fifty war horses were taken to the shore. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. When they saw a large area of ​​unowned land nearby, everyone smiled.

Li Luo supported Yan Duo, who was also wearing iron armor, pointed to the depths of the treasure island and smiled: "Entertainment Father, this plain is very large, and it is easy to support hundreds of thousands of people. It will be ours in the future!"

Yan Duo laughed happily, "My son, this place is given by God, it is very useful. It is easy to do it, it is easy to do it!"

Many people bowed together and said in unison: "Congratulations to the Lord of Wolf!"

Li Luo was the adopted son of Yan Duo. He was nominally the lord of the Jurchen refugees. He also had an official position and held a large amount of military weapons, money and grain. Naturally, everyone respected the Jurchen refugees.

This time, Li Luo brought 100 township warriors and 100 private soldiers, all of which were trained for several months. He immediately dispatched 100 Han local brave men to 500 Jurchen spirits to temporarily serve as captains and commanders, and then allocated 50 Jurchen private soldiers who could ride horses as cavalry.

"Hu Gu!"

"exist!"

"Let you temporarily lead the captain of the cavalry."

"promise!"

After Hu Gu received the order, he immediately gathered fifty private soldiers and assigned war horses. These people would ride horses and quickly formed a cavalry team.

After some arrangements, the seven hundred temporary troops were formed and they were all wearing strong and held sharp edges. They looked completely well-equipped regular troops.
