After Sha Yuliang was recruited, Xia Jing gave him three days to settle down with his family.
Three days later, Sha Yuliang entered the restricted area at the foot of the northern mountain on the outskirts of the city for the first time, which was the "Gyeonggi Camp" in Lingnan.
This military camp houses all the troops directly under the royal palace.
These include private soldiers with large, second, third and fourth bedrooms.
Sha Yuliang came to report, and the person who received him was Sima Lu, who was once the largest bandit leader in Luofu Mountain and is now a general under Li Chengmu.
Sha Yuliang was once a deputy general when he was guarding the border. Now that he came to Lingnan, Xia Jing could not let him start as a soldier, but gave him a starting point to become an ordinary guerrilla general under Sima Lu.
Based on Sha Yuliang's performance at the border, it shouldn't be difficult for him to rise, as long as he is capable enough and makes many meritorious deeds.
With his status registered in front of Xia Jing, no one dares to hide his achievements.
"Lingnan is no better than the border. I have wronged my brother to serve as a guerrilla general under my command. I believe that with my ability, my brother will soon be able to get the position of deputy general."
Sima Lu led him to get familiar with the military camp, talking as he walked.
The two of them walked to the training ground without knowing it.
In the field, the soldiers were fighting each other in pairs, and the training was in full swing.
"The soldiers are practicing very seriously!" Sha Yuliang looked at the soldiers pumping their fists with a smile on his face.
Sima Lu stayed in Luofu Mountain in the south of Lingnan for a long time and knew very little about the news on the northern border. Sha Yuliang's deeds were only heard from hearsay, and he was a little unsure about the depth of his martial arts.
So he suggested: "Brother Sha, do you want to go up and try your skills?"
Upon hearing this, Sha Yuliang cupped his fists at him and said, "General Sima should call his subordinates by their first names from now on. I don't dare to talk to my brother generals in the military camp."
After hearing this, Sima Lu laughed directly: "Okay, in the military camp we don't care about brothers, we only talk about the feelings of comrades!"
After saying that, he paused and asked: "Sha Yuliang, do you want to end up fighting the soldiers?"
"Respect is worse than obeying orders. Yuliang is showing off his ugliness!" Sha Yuliang clasped his fists. He had not experienced fighting with his brothers in the past year. He really missed the days of sweating profusely on the school field.
Sima Lu selected a tall soldier from the school field to fight with him.
Both sides clasped fists in greeting.
As soon as the soldier came on the stage, he was intimidated by the aura exuded by Sha Yuliang. Facing an opponent stronger than himself, the soldier was a little frightened.
But the general had given the order, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
"Good boy, you are so powerful! Have you seen blood?"
Sha Yuliang thought about it for a moment and said in a calm tone: "I've seen that there were not even a thousand but also eight hundred heads cut off."
"hiss!"
The soldier who was a new recruit took a breath. What kind of murderous devil was he facing?
At first, he thought the other party was a new recruit, but now that he opened his mouth, he himself became a new recruit.
Seeing that the soldier didn't move for a long time, Sha Yuliang frowned slightly and asked, "Are you going to use a weapon or bare hands?"
The soldier calmed down. He was facing a murderous devil. He didn't dare to choose a weapon. If he slashed him, the gain would outweigh the loss.
"Fight with bare hands!"
The other party deliberately spoke loudly to build momentum, but it did not cause any waves in Sha Yuliang's heart.
He nodded and neatly tucked the hem of his clothes into his waistband, "Let's get started, I'll give you three moves first!"
These words are not very lethal, but they are extremely insulting. The soldier's face turned red with shame and anger, and he really wanted to punch his plain face to make you laugh!
The momentum of the two people was ebbing and flowing. Sima Lu stood on the outside and watched with joy, "Haha. This Sha Yuliang has an upright temperament and has the ability to anger people to death without paying for their lives. In the future, if the city is attacked or the two armies confront each other, let him go out."
I think there may be unexpected gains from the scolding array!"
Ma Qilin, the former second in command and Sima Lu's good brother, also grinned and said happily, "This guy is a bit arrogant, no wonder he was so miserable in the border army!"
Sima Lu waved his hand, "Let bygones be bygones, don't mention it again in the future, lest that boy Sha Yuliang live in the shadow of the past."
"Yes, brother is right." Ma Qilin agreed cheerfully.
While the two were talking, Sha Yuliang on the stage had already made three moves.
"Brother, your skills are pretty good. It's time for me to take action next!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sha Yuliang opened his five fingers and bent them into eagle claws, grabbing the soldier's head.
As soon as the soldier saw it, he calmly avoided it. Unexpectedly, Sha Yuliang grabbed his arm with five fingers, turned his body, pushed him with his back, threw him over his shoulder, and threw the soldier of about the same height to the ground.
The soldier's whole body fell to the ground, and his mind was confused.
It took him a while to come back to his senses, but he was thrown to the ground like this.
At the same time, he was also upset. It was obvious that he was attacking the top of his head, but why did he grab his arm in the blink of an eye?
"good!"
Sima Lu applauds!
"Yu Liang is indeed worthy of his reputation. This brave figure is worthy of being a fierce general in the northwest!"
With that said, Sima Lu shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "If any of you are unconvinced, you can come to him for discussion!"
"I'll do it!"
Another soldier jumped out, but this time he lasted one more move than the previous one, and was knocked down by Sha Yuliang in two moves.
Then several more soldiers were unconvinced and stood up to fight with Sha Yuliang. In the end, they all jumped out with great courage and rolled down in embarrassment.
Ma Qilin said regretfully: "Sha Yuliang is very skilled, but I don't know how he will fare against Vice General Feng?"
Sima Lu smiled and nodded: "That boy Feng Tu is good at martial arts. Let him compete with Sha Yuliang next time he comes back."
Sha Yuliang came down from the school field with great pride. With such powerful skills, he has no worries about not being able to make achievements in Lingnan!
Sima Lu patted his shoulder and said, "Yuliang, it shouldn't be difficult for you to fight one against ten."
"Let's go, I will let you see the power of our Lingnan soldiers and horses!"
Sha Yuliang was shocked. Is there anyone more powerful in the military camp?
Shooting range.
With a bang bang bang sound, rows of wooden signs were shot through.
Sha Yuliang was horrified. Why did the Lingnan Barracks have so many firearms?
Sima Lu smiled and pointed at a group of soldiers rehearsing shooting, "How about Yuliang? Who is stronger between our Lingnan soldiers and Beidi soldiers and horses? Do we have a chance of winning against Beidi soldiers and horses?"
Sha Yuran concealed the shock in his heart and said truthfully: "Beidi is good at riding and shooting. If they can match our firearms, even the experienced cavalry will be in vain."
You just need enough firearms to push them straight across. No matter how fast the horse is, it is not as fast as the bullets of the musket!
Just now, he was still complacent about his skills, but the slap in the face came so quickly!
Seeing these muskets was like a bucket of cold water being poured over my head.
No matter how powerful he is, he can still be faster than a musket that can kill him instantly without getting close!
"Haha. I love hearing what you say!" Ma Qilin laughed.
"Where did you buy these muskets? Can you afford these military expenses?"
Sima Lu took a flintlock gun from the soldier and introduced to Sha Yuliang: "The muskets in our barracks are different from the tasteless matchlock guns of the imperial court."
"What we call a flintlock gun is an improvement from a matchlock gun. This kind of flintlock gun is more convenient to use than a matchlock gun. You don't need to deliberately light the fire. Instead, you can pull the bolt to automatically start a fire and start shooting."
After that, Sima Lu personally showed him how to load bullets and how to shoot.
Sha Yuliang was so excited. If they had such equipment at the border, what would they have feared? Chief Beidi!
Sima Lu naturally saw that Sha Yuliang was eager to try, but he just pretended not to see it and led him to other parts of the camp.
"Don't underestimate our barracks. Although we are under the command of the Fifth Master and are not as promising as those under the Prince, the ordnance and equipment in our barracks are the most sophisticated. Whether it is firearms or other cold weapons ordnance, they are all exquisite.
Made of steel!”
Sha Yuliang looked at Sima Lu in disbelief. If someone in the north had told him that Lingnan had the best weapons, he would have scoffed.
Sima Lu smiled and nodded: "That's the truth, you don't have to doubt it!"
"The fifth master is a capable man!" Sha Yuliang sighed.
Sima Lu smiled and did not explain. Speaking of Fifth Master, they had been setting off for more than ten days and they didn’t know where the ship had gone.
Speaking of the fifth master Li Chengmu, their fleet has arrived at Annanan Yian Pier, and will continue sailing south after replenishing supplies here.
It takes about half a month to get from Yi'an Pier to Luzon in Nanyang.
Xia Jing and King Qian pieced together things to form this expeditionary fleet, which consisted of about 200 ships, of which more than 100 were modified. The others were transport ships responsible for the logistics support of the fleet.
The purpose of this trip to Nanyang is to open up the food base in Nanyang. The food crops in Nanyang that are harvested three times a year are very tempting.
In a country where disasters were frequent for Dayu, this alone was worth the risk for the palace to go on an expedition.
When the expedition fleet arrived in Luzon, black smoke could be seen on the land from far away from the sea.
"What happened?" Li Chengmu stood on the bow of the boat and stretched his neck, and found that there was thick smoke rising from several places on the land.
Long Yutian shook his fan, "There are fires everywhere, there may be an enemy attack! For safety reasons, we'd better send a small boat over first, and we'll get closer after understanding the situation."
"Sir, please look at the arrangements."
Li Chengmu took the telescope handed to him by Chang Lu and observed it. In addition to smoke rising from the land, there were more than a dozen soft sailing ships moored in the port on this side.
There are small fishing boats launched on the coastline not far from the port.
"Sir, look over there. I found two fishing boats paddling out!" Li Chengmu handed the binoculars to Long Yutian and pointed him in the direction.
Long Yutian looked in the direction he was pointing, and there were two fishing boats rowing towards them on the sea.
"Let the boat row towards the two fishing boats to find out what happened on the land?"
When Feng Tu heard this, he immediately arranged for people to board the boat and go there to collect information.
The sea looked not far away, but in fact it was time-consuming and labor-intensive to paddle by manpower. It was time and again, and by the time they came back with the fishermen, an hour had passed.
The newspaper came in all night: "Fifth Master, sir, according to what these fishermen said, the Xiyi people are massacring the Dayu people in Luzon right now."
Li Chengmu was horrified and said eagerly: "Bring the fishermen up."
The fishermen were brought to the deck. As soon as they saw the adults, they knelt down.
"Masters, please save us. The Xiyi people in Luzon are so heartless that they actually killed us Dayu people out of nowhere. You want us to make the decision!"
Li Chengmu frowned slightly and asked the doubts in his heart: "Why did the Xiyi people suddenly attack the Dayu people? As far as I know, this island is now ruled by the Xiyi people, right?"
The leading fishermen were slightly stunned after hearing this. They go fishing every day, so who knows why the Xiyi people want to kill them?
Maybe it’s because they account for too much of the population?
"I don't know what the reason is, maybe it's just that we Dayu people don't like it!"
Long Yutian raised an eyebrow, a little surprised by his answer, "I'll kill you if you don't like it?"
The leading fisherman nodded like crazy: "Yes, the Xiyi people are crazy. It is common to kill people for fun. We Dayu people have the largest population in Luzon Island. Maybe the Xiyi people are afraid that our numbers will affect them.
Let’s rule!”
Long Yutian nodded: "Maybe there are concerns in this regard, but to kill you just because of concerns is an exaggeration, right?"
The fishermen were almost crying. Why didn't they believe what they said? There was unspeakable disappointment in their eyes.
Sure enough, you can't rely on the court when you come out!
It is really sad that the officers and soldiers of the imperial court could remain indifferent while watching them being killed and humiliated. In order to survive, they all ran out to make a living. Is it right or wrong?
Li Chengmu saw tears in the eyes of these grown men and couldn't bear it, so he comforted him: "Don't worry, even if we have to go to the island to rescue Comrade Yu, we have to give us some time to understand the situation and make arrangements.
!”
The fishermen were worried. Their families were still on the island, and they might be being killed by the Western barbarians right now.
The leading fisherman couldn't wait to speak: "The island is in chaos now. They may not even notice the sea when you land now. This opportunity is not to be missed, sir!"
Li Chengmu looked at Long Yutian, what should he do? He was actually persuaded by the fishermen.
The opportunity comes once in a lifetime. If you miss it, you won’t know that you will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
War and analysis of the situation are actually a big gamble. Since the fishermen said that the island was in chaos, they speeded up and landed as quickly as possible to prevent the Westerners from discovering the fleet on the sea.
Teddy Boone, the governor of Western Yi, was looking at his men carrying the treasures they had collected from the Dayu people. He sighed in his heart that the Dayu people were so hard-working, which was simply the code for creating wealth.
If it weren't for the fact that all the forces in Luzon Island were equally matched, he would never have been willing to eliminate such a wealthy master.
When he saw boxes of treasures ready to be carried into the warehouse, Boone felt happy.
I heard my subordinates come to report that a fleet of ships appeared on the sea. I don’t know whether it is an enemy or a friend. The ships came in a variety of ways, including Dayu’s ships, some of the soft sailing ships unique to the Western Yi people, and some of them were not well made.
Fine Annam fishing boat.
Boone was surprised when he heard the report, "Let the artillery aim at the port. If they don't know what to do and rush up, fire hard. Don't hesitate!"
"Let's find out who is leading the troops? Where is he from?"
