The Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and Yangzhou Port are located at the intersection of the canal and the Yangtze River, bordering the Yangtze River to the south and the Huanghuai River to the north. Through this, Yangzhou can cross from east to west and from north to south.
The prosperous Yangzhou Port was a water and land transportation hub and a strategic location where "the north and the south collided, and department stores gathered together".
At night, ten giant four-story ships cut through the waves and slowly approached Yangzhou Port along the canal.
Jia Min put on his armor, mounted his war horse, and stood solemnly.
She was already familiar with the confidentiality of officialdom in the imperial court.
So at this moment, she even felt that her husband was already in Wang Hai's hands. As soon as she got off the boat, she was going to go back to Lin's house to take a look. If he was not there, she would go directly to Wang's house.
Lin Daiyu stood in the cabin holding the little yellow cat.
According to Commander Lin's wishes, she is a little girl who can't even hold a knife, so it will be of no use. When the time comes, guards will take her off the ship and wait in a remote place.
Looking at her mother's back, standing solemnly on the deck in armor, Lin Daiyu was very worried.
Just like Commander Lin said, in today's world, no matter how strong a person is, he is still unable to deal with guns and artillery. If you are not careful, you may be shattered into pieces, and decades of hard work will be in vain.
I hope my mother is fine!
The little yellow cat squatted on top of the shovel, shook its tail, and looked into the distance.
The water and the sky meet, and the blue waves ripple.
Human life is really fragile!
"Lele, what do you think those people do with so much money?
So much money, I can't spend it all in one lifetime or ten lifetimes, and I am so greedy that I wish I could scrape every drop of oil out of everyone's bones." The little girl was very confused and even more angry.
As she read more books, Lin Daiyu sometimes even felt afraid of human greed.
The little yellow cat fell into deep thought.
He really doesn't know this. After all, he doesn't love money and has no interest in money.
After waiting for a while, she didn't hear an answer. Lin Daiyu let out a long sigh, puzzled.
After a moment of silence, a question suddenly occurred to me.
"Lele, you keep calling me the poop shovel, and you also call me mother, sister-in-law Qin, sister Xue, Yingchun, Tanchun, Yuanchun, sister-in-law Wang... you are the backup poop shovel."
Does this mean you have many other people shoveling shit?" Lin Daiyu asked calmly.
The little yellow cat licked its tail and looked condensed.
Based on his many years of experience as a scumbag, sometimes the calmer a beautiful woman is, the more terrifying the situation becomes.
"Meow?"
Do you want to know my past, or do you want to know a number? The little yellow cat asked.
When talking to a woman, don't get caught up in the other person's rhythm. Just like a master sparring, if you stay for a long time, you will lose, and you can easily fall into a desperate situation.
Sure enough, Lin Daiyu opened her mouth and continued to ask: "Lele, I'm just curious. You are so good and powerful, why are you separated from your former shit shovel?"
"Meow~"
Instead of wondering why I separated from them, you might as well ask me what I learned during those precious time together!
Miao Le meowed slowly, with a calm tone and sincere feelings.
The little girl was indeed curious: "Well, Lele, tell me what you have learned?"
The little yellow cat jumped on the girl's shoulder, close to her white neck. Its tail swung around, touching the girl's pink ears from time to time. After a while, its slender little hands came over to grab the restless little girl. Bad stuff.
"Meow~"
I’ve learned to express myself, I’ve learned to say it when I like you, and I’ve also learned to cherish you right now.
The little yellow cat meowed in a deep voice.
Lin Daiyu's whole body was shocked, as if there was a touch that touched her soul, filling her body and soul.
After a while, I burst into tears.
"Lele, wuwuwu, I like you too!"
My sister-in-law's tears were streaming down her face. Those who heard it were sad, and those who listened shed tears.
Jia Min, who is leaning against Ge Dadan in front:...
This scumbag is really good at seducing girls!
This time I have to discuss it with my husband when I go back and teach my daughter a good lesson.
As a scholar, Lin Ruhai was very considerate to her back then, reciting poems and painting, but she was much more literary and talented than this lazy cat.
How come I look at the sky at dawn and look at the clouds at dusk, I miss you when I walk, and I miss you when I sit; I don’t know where my love comes from, but it goes deeper and deeper; my clothes are getting wider and wider, but I still don’t regret it, and I feel haggard because of the loss of love...
It is better to study. If you read more books, it will be easier to attract a girl.
Suddenly, a small boat appeared in front of the fleet and rowed quickly. There was another person on the boat, waving the golden flag up and down in a certain pattern.
Seven shallow and one deep.
After a while, someone from the small boat got onto the big ship, covered in blood, and said loudly: "Report to the commander, a group of unknown gangsters are united and attacking Yangzhou City. Lord Yi Bingshou, the governor of Yangzhou, is gathering all the people in the city to protect the city.
The gangsters are firing fiercely, and we're afraid we won't be able to hold on for long!"
Lin Luofeng was stunned. As far as he knew, there were only three forces with artillery in Jiangsu and Zhejiang: the Japanese pirates, the barbarians who occupied Ryukyu Island, and the local green camp army.
In recent years, Japanese islands have been controlled by the Tokugawa family. They even took the initiative to clean up Japanese pirates along the coast in order to do good business with those wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River.
As for the barbarians who had a conflict with the imperial court a few years ago, Wu Xiongguang, who was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi at the time, initially tried to make peace with the conflict, but in the end, under the order of the Holy Emperor, he adopted the method of cutting off trade, deploying heavy troops, and cutting off supplies to drive back the barbarians.
The barbarians' own country was far more than ten thousand miles away from the Central Plains, and they eventually compromised because of their business with the Central Plains' various kinds of glass, clocks, tobacco, and other hugely profitable shops.
These two should be unlikely. Could it be that the imperial court leaked secrets and that the Green Camp Army rebelled?
Lin Luofeng thought for a moment and determined the rebel forces, and then he was shocked. If they succeeded in attacking the city and bloodbathed Yangzhou City, they would finally introduce a few scapegoats.
Not to mention his dereliction of duty, other accounts must have been wiped out by them.
Throughout the ages, why have rebellious civilians without weapons or armor managed to successfully attack a city so easily? The main reason is not that some officials simply broke up their affairs and started over again because their debts were so unsatisfactory.
"Quick, brothers, move forward at full speed! We must rush to the battlefield before Yangzhou City falls!" Commander Lin shouted loudly.
"yes!"
…
In Yangzhou City, Wang Mansion.
Listening to the shouts outside, Wang Chun happily drank a glass of wine, closed his eyes, tapped the table, and echoed the music of the singer next to him.
This day is so beautiful!
After a while, the housekeeper walked in: "Master, everything has been arranged!"
Wang Chun nodded, everything was as planned. Sure enough, those barbarians valued money more than their lives.
He is such a genius!
When the inside and outside work together tonight and Yangzhou City is defeated, he can truly sit back and relax!
"Master, it's going to be a long night and a lot of dreams. Should we take action early? After all, Commander Lin seems to have calculated that the time is almost here!" the butler reminded.
Wang Chun rolled his eyes at him: "Our wall is thick and the city is deep, so we have to hold on for a few days. Doesn't it fall so quickly to tell the court that we have a problem with our own people?"
You are too hasty!
Those who achieve great things will not change their color even if Mount Tai collapses. Being steady is the first priority!"
The butler was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up in admiration: "You are still smart, my admiration for you is like the water of the river, flowing endlessly, and like..."
Wang Chun raised his hand and waved: "Get out!"
"Hello!"
How could a mere butler understand my own intelligence?
This matter is settled!
…
In the evening, outside Yangzhou City.
The bandits had been attacking for a whole day, but the tall city wall remained motionless. Xiaojing even vaguely saw the veteran above taking the time to pee on him.
Xiaojing directly asked the captured painter to draw a portrait of the veteran, and when he entered the city at night, he chopped off the man's penis and drank it.
"Oh, oh, the enemy soldiers are retreating~"
Accompanied by various cheers, Xiaojing finally led a group of brothers to dismantle the city wall. Each and every one of them smelled not only of sweat and blood, but also of various strange smells.
Those naughty Han people actually threw excrement and urine from the top of the city wall, and it was heated. It was so disgusting to him that he couldn't stand it.
When we enter the city tonight, the first thing we do is to arrest those officials and put shit in their mouths!
"Mr. Xiaojing, are you sure someone will open the city gate for us tonight?" A big man speaking a strange Chinese dialect came over and asked.
These blue-eyed, blond-haired, tall and mighty foreigners saw this siege battle in Middle-earth for the first time.
The city wall was so thick that even the cannons couldn't blast it. The key point was that he was also drenched in feces and urine. Those brave and fearless soldiers who never set on the city vomited back on the spot.
How did the Han people come up with such a disgusting way to defend the city?
Xiaojing said confidently: "Of course, when the time comes, the flower girl will have a lot of money!"
Although the Japanese island is now controlled by the Dechun family, Wang Chun and several clan leaders have promised that as long as he burns down a few warehouses and kills a few target missions, they will give him five ships equipped with Hongyi cannons.
With these five ships and hundreds of brave brothers under his command, he is like a giant shark in the sea, capable of biting anyone he wants.
Tokugawa? Drink the bath water from his little well!
Magalni looked at the confident expression of the little dwarf, and suddenly had a bad premonition. He glanced behind him and asked casually: "China has a vast land and abundant resources, and many soldiers and generals. An army will not suddenly rush out from behind us." Enemy troops!"
Xiaojing said confidently: "Absolutely not!
You have to believe in the strength of our allies. In this coastal area, since they can easily let us here, they can definitely help me stop those soldiers who want to move without permission."
Magartni was still a little worried, and leaving his weak back to the care of a stranger was an absolutely dangerous thing in the Empire where the sun never sets.
Xiaojing stood on tiptoe, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed: "Hahaha, don't worry, I have cooperated with these people many times, been a pirate, a gangster, and even served as their officer."
"Boom~" Suddenly someone fired from behind.
Xiaojing was dumbfounded, and when faced with Magartni's questioning eyes, he became furious: "Someone must have mistakenly clicked on the cannon's fuse!"
"Boom boom boom~"
A short and stocky man rushed over quickly from outside, walking in a figure-eight stride: "Sir Xiaojing, several gunboats have come from the direction of the Grand Canal and are shelling our camp. The firepower is very fierce!"
"Baga!" Xiaojing cursed loudly, and then said angrily: "Let all the brothers evacuate the coast and let them know that on land, we are the kings of land warfare!"
"yes!"
After his subordinates left, Xiaojing continued to say confidently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty Magarni, on the land, there are gun formations and artillery formations arranged by you and me, covering the fire. Unless there are countless dead soldiers in this weak Middle Earth." We have to capture our fort, otherwise everything will be safe!"
Magalni:......
This sentence seems a bit familiar.
As soon as the words fell.
"Boom!" Suddenly a cannonball landed not far from them, causing mud to fly everywhere.
The subordinate ran over again with a disgraced face: "Sir Xiaojing, the people here are all elites, they are not afraid of death, and they are familiar with the terrain. We have already lost an artillery battery at this moment."
Xiaojing was stunned: "How many people are there?"
"Less than a thousand!"
"idiot!"
Xiaojing cursed loudly, looked at the night, counted the hours, and his eyes lit up.
"Let them shoot out all the cannonballs, and then come back and follow me into the city! The city wall is deep and guarded by thousands of us. Even if they come with 20,000 people, they can't attack it!"
"yes!"
After his subordinates retreated, a series of intensive cannon fire sounded in the distance a moment later.
And with the strength of today's artillery barrels, doing so is undoubtedly treating the cannon as a disposable item.
But for Xiaojing, that thing was a gift from the Chinese people anyway, so he couldn't take it away, so it was just right to destroy it.
Xiaojing said confidently again: "Your Excellency Magalni, the time is coming. When the city gate opens, we will rush forward and occupy the city wall quickly. Then Yangzhou will be ours!"
Unless there are gods from the Middle Earth descending to earth and rushing over to catch us all, otherwise, with this city wall guarding us, what can less than a thousand soldiers do to us?
Ha ha ha ha!"
Magalni and the two men behind him looked at each other and silently took three steps back.
This guy's mouth is poisonous!
"Boom, boom~"
"Help, run!"
"That man is the devil!"
At the end of his line of sight, a group of cavalry was rushing towards him at high speed. Xiaojing watched helplessly as the leading soldier was able to block the musket bullets of his own men with his long spear.
The spear was swung like a death scythe, harvesting the lives of his men wantonly.
At this moment, hundreds of our own elites, thousands of poor people who had been driven in, and hundreds of elites from the foreign countries seemed to have seen the gods of the other country, and some even knelt down to worship and surrender.
After a moment, the war horse rushed in front of him.
Xiaojing trembled all over and was about to surrender. When the man waved his spear, Mr. Xiaojing saw his ancestor.
Baga! Here you go
...
Wang Mansion.
Wang Chun happily ate the seafood feast and suddenly sighed after eating for a while.
"Hey, counting the time, Master Lin, as the censor of the salt patrol, is not afraid of dangers, faces the gangsters, and generously serves justice. He is really a role model for scholars of our generation!
When a hero dies, I should just have a simple meal and express my feelings."
"Come here, take this plate of fennel beans away!" Wang Chun ordered.
"Yes!"
"Bang~" the old housekeeper kicked open the door and said loudly: "Master, the Japanese pirates and foreign barbarians were defeated and captured. Commander Lin took over the affairs of Yangzhou City with an imperial edict. We are surrounded!"
Wang Chun's face turned pale for a moment, and he stared blankly at the housekeeper, and then he looked at the maids serving around him at a loss.
After waiting for a while, the housekeeper asked cautiously: "Master, I think your face doesn't look good?"
