She Feihu came in menacingly, and then left with a gray face. There was no big disturbance on the estuary side, everything was as usual, just like She Feihu and his wife returned to the city from an outing and came to say hello. After She Feihu led the group to leave,
, Moling County sent people here, and Lin Fu learned that the She family guards had set up an ambush at the southwestern foot of Sheshan Mountain and killed twelve assassins. Only three of them escaped. Moling County swordsmen and archers cooperated with the arrest all night. Lin Fu sighed slightly,
Nothing much was said.
The bearded man woke up at dawn the next day, and Lin Fu waited until daylight before taking a boat to Prison Island to meet him.
The bearded man's body was really strong. Three sharp arrows pierced his back blades. Wu Yanqing helped him dig out the flesh and take it out. There were more than ten new wounds on his body. Although he also used analgesics, they were only available at the time.
It is difficult to compare with the anesthetics of later generations. During the treatment, he eventually fainted due to excessive blood loss and severe pain. When Lin Fu rushed to the bamboo house on Prison Island, he could barely lean on the bedside and talk. The other young man was even more seriously injured.
He hasn't woken up yet, and his pulse is stable, so saving his life is not a problem.
Lin Fu came to ask questions, and everyone except Zhou Pu left the bamboo house.
"Ao owes Master Lin three lives..." the bearded man said with difficulty.
Lin Fu didn't know whether he had inquired about his identity earlier or heard Wu Yanqing talk about it after waking up. He thought that Wu Yanqing should have told him that a person died last night, but he still didn't expect that they would persevere in assassinating She Feihu.
, without saying much more, he said: "Not to mention this, you were too seriously injured last night and it was difficult to move, so I asked you to temporarily stay in this bamboo house. For convenience, I have to give you some injustice and temporarily move you to the prison cell.
, you can rest in peace and recuperate, the She family doesn’t dare to go to prison yet... The other brother, I will bury him in the cemetery at the mouth of the river first."
"Master Lin didn't ask why we tried every possible means to assassinate She Feihu?" the bearded man asked.
"Some things have to be done, otherwise I won't be able to pass this test," Lin Fu sighed softly, thinking of all the experiences in his previous life. Since it's unbearable to survive, he might as well act heroically, "Take me for example, I
There are some people in my heart. If anyone hurts them, I will do everything possible to take their lives, so why not die? She Feihu doesn't have a good reputation in East Fujian. If you want to kill him, is there anything I can't understand?"
"Ten years ago, the Ao family in Jiaocheng was also a wealthy family. The She family was afraid of being implicated because their younger brother was convicted of killing the clan, so they started an uprising in Jin'an and invited the surrounding wealthy and powerful people to join the family. At that time, the imperial court still had prestige in Eastern Fujian, and other families did not dare to
Following the chaos, the She family destroyed our clan to establish its power. At that time, She Feihu was only seventeen years old. However, under his sword, my Ao family, three hundred and eleven in Jiaocheng, cried without leaving a trace, and I was the only one who led Ao.
The family's caravan escaped disaster in Yuzhang. In order to avenge his family, he first joined Shao Wu's army and then transferred to Nanping's army in the past ten years. They were both killed by the She family. Li Shuai used Jiangxi's deputy envoy to control the Jiangxi prefecture's army.
, the war situation gradually stabilized, and we joined Chen Zhihu's forward battalion. After ten years of bloodshed, we and the more than fifty Po family members only have eleven people left. Li Shuai wanted to negotiate peace with the She family for the sake of the court, but our blood feud has not been avenged.
A new enemy was added, regardless of the imperial plan. When the imperial court transferred Chen Zhihu to lead his army north to clear the bandits, ten tribesmen and I invited other 42 people from the Qianfeng camp who were not in common with the She family, Dai Tianpao Ze, to become deserters.
I hate that I am incompetent, I am incompetent, I can't kill the thief, and I am so tired that these people died in vain..." The bearded man Hu had tears in his eyes, and endured the pain in his heart as he told the reasons for the assassination one by one.
Lin Fu had long guessed that the bearded man was related to the Eastern Fujian Army. Deserting soldiers was always an unavoidable phenomenon in the current army. Especially when the Eastern Fujian Army left their hometown in Beijing and transferred to the northern front, it was easier for soldiers to think about escaping. For more than half a year,
, nearly 50,000 elite troops from Eastern Fujian were transferred to the northern front via Jiangdong County, and nearly 200 people were recorded as escaping. Relatively speaking, this was an elite division with extremely strict discipline. The more than 200 deserters were left to the army on their own.
Nearly a hundred people were captured, interrogated and executed. The others also sent letters to the Jiangdong Procuratorate and the prefecture and county yamen where the fugitives were registered, requesting cooperation in the arrest. Ao Canghai was the deputy commander of the forward battalion of Chen Zhihu's unit, Yunqiwei, and a seventh-grade military attaché.
, can be regarded as the highest-ranked fugitive soldier in Jiangdong. It’s just that the Haidu document said that he had a short mustache, a thin face, and had been fighting for ten years. His face was as smooth as a scribe. Unexpectedly, he had grown a beard to hide his identity.
There are also scars and burns on his face. Such a man has gone through so many hardships and he was only thirty-six years old.
Counting the assassins who were surrounded and killed by the She family guards near Sheshan yesterday, of the forty-two escapees who followed Ao Canghai to assassinate She Feihu, only two people, Ao Canghai, were still alive. The young man suffered injuries to the tendons of his right hand and left
The leg was hit hard and three bones were broken, but he could barely survive. Assassination was not an easy task. How could he be easily assassinated by someone else in Jiangning, where there were enemies all over the place?
"You two stay in prison to recuperate for now - although I won't piss in the same pot as the She family, and I'm not afraid that She Feihu will bite me in Jiangning, but the assassination of She Feihu involves too many things after all.
, I sympathize with your situation, but I can't help you. You can leave after you recover from your injuries." Lin Fu said, he took in the assassin, and he could make She Feihu, who couldn't find any evidence, tolerate it. Anyway, Jiang Ning didn't like the She family.
There are too many people, but it would be unwise to take in the assassin and then participate in the assassination of She Feihu. If someone gets caught, She Feihu is not a character who is easy to bully.
"I don't dare to ask for it, but after we can sit up, we can kowtow to Lord Lin and thank him." Ao Canghai endured the pain and tried to sit up, but his whole body was weak, so he could only postpone the thank you.
"That's not necessary," Lin Fu said, "The She family is greedy and wants to swallow up the world. You have to be patient. You might as well watch how the She family brings back the world and swallows up the fallen clan..."
Lin Fu and Zhou Pu walked out of the bamboo house and ordered people to carefully transfer Ao Canghai and another young man who was seriously injured and yet to wake up to the prison cell.
Jiangdao Prison can accommodate 2,000 prisoners. At this time, it only held more than 400 prisoners. Cells A and B were used to hold prisoners who were serving normal prison terms. Thirty-two people who broke through the fence and invaded the Hekou Terrace were arrested.
He was regarded as the chief criminal and was imprisoned in Cell C, waiting for his family to pay the ransom money to Gu Wuchen to collect his release. Since the prisoners sent from various prefectures and counties had all undergone corporal punishment, Lin Fu had Cell D converted into a nursing room to treat the injured.
The heavier prisoners were concentrated there to apply medicine and recuperate, so Lin Fu placed Ao Canghai and his two men there for recuperation.
**********
Before noon, Yang Shi brought one hundred and twenty newly recruited soldiers to Prison Island by boat.
There are tens of thousands of refugees stranded on the north bank. They choose soldiers to integrate their families into military households. Yang Shijin can choose the best ones. Although these 120 newly recruited soldiers have cold faces, they are all strong and powerful, and there are many
He is practicing boxing and kicking. He has eaten several meals in the past few days and is full of energy. Lin Fu asked villagers to be recruited into the army with their simplicity, and he also tried his best to use villagers so that they could unite and defend against the enemy in war.
, he stood on the dock and watched the newly recruited soldiers get off the ship, and felt satisfied that their physical fitness was no worse than the forty soldiers selected yesterday.
Lin Fu called Yang Shi over and said to him: "For the newly recruited soldiers, I want Commander Zhao Hu to set up a camp on the deserted beach on the east side of the island for training. After March or May, we will organize the soldiers according to the training situation.
If there is no urgent matter before this, if we do not call you, you will be responsible for the duties of guarding and supervising here..."
"As ordered." Yang Shi said with clasped fists in salute.
In addition to the prison, there are nearly 2,000 acres of wasteland and 3,000 to 4,000 acres of wasteland on Prison Island. Only the area from the south end of the high wall to the pier is cultivated land. The manpower for land reclamation on Prison Island is also limited. Lin Fu is managing Prison Island during this period.
They focused on using the prisoners to reclaim the wasteland and beach in the southwest part of the prison island facing the river mouth. Most of the eastern part is still bushland and grassland.
Lin Fu wanted Zhao Hu to lead the 120 newly recruited soldiers to open a new camp on the eastern desert beach for retraining. Jiyunshe would also send people to build a berthing camp on the eastern desert beach.
The four newly purchased small docking stations for armed vehicles and ships will also select fifty sailors from the refugees recruited to jointly train an elite force capable of fighting on both land and water.
In addition to the escort soldiers who were drawn out, the original prison guards were handed over to Commander Yang Shi to be responsible for the daily supervision of the prison island.
Yang Shi has been selecting soldiers on the north bank of Chaotiandang these days. When he came back yesterday, he realized that he had missed a lot of exciting things. He admired Lin Fu deeply in his heart, and he did not have the same resistance to Lin Fu when he first arrived on Prison Island. At least on the surface,
Training new soldiers is a hard job and does not have much real power. Yang Shi has no objection to Lin Fu's arrangement.
Lin Fu did not tell Yang Shi about taking in Ao Canghai. After he arrived at the prison island, he set a rule that unless there was a commotion in the prison cell, soldiers were generally not allowed to enter the prison cell. Everything in the prison cell was well understood.
The police officers are in charge, and the two heads of the clerical office, Sun Geng, are in charge of their affairs. In this way, after the prison is cleared, there are still forty vacancies for the police officers that have not been filled. It is true that the prisons use prisoners to manage the prisoners, so they do not feel that there is a shortage of manpower.
He was just a civil servant with management ability. Lin Fu had too many trivial things to do. Sun Geng, the secretary general, had a heavy burden, but there was no one to share it with him.
Yang Shi went to the north bank, and Zhao Hu led the soldiers to guard the island. He handed over the work to Yang Shi before noon.
When the prison was cleared, two groups of soldiers were escorted back to the city by Gu Wuchen, but the soldiers and armor were all left on the island. When the new soldiers came to the island, these weapons and armor were given to them.
The three-masted thousand-stone ship had to be trained in Longjiang Lake before it could be sailed to the mouth of the river by Big and Small Loach. However, the four armed vehicles and ships were light vessels and easy to control. The ship was paid in full and left to Big and Small Loach before noon.
The people he sent sailed back to the mouth of the river.
At noon, Lin Fu and Zhou Pu went back to the mouth of the river to have dinner. This was when they saw the true appearance of the carriage. The carriage was about five feet long and only one foot wide. The hull was like a shuttle. The draft was only two feet deep. The boat was light and could be driven directly.
Drag it up to the shoal and park it. The front end is covered with iron and is equipped with a bumper. There are eight pedal wheels on both sides of the ship. Eight sailors use the pedal wheels to drive the boat. One person controls the course by operating the oar at the stern. If you feel that the speed of the ship is not fast enough, the two sides can still
Install four more long oars.
Four brothers who are proficient in water skills and boating skills were transferred from the Big and Little Loach Masters to serve as sailors on four armed vehicles and ships.
The leader also selected 40 people from the refugees recruited to work as oarsmen for cars and boats. In the afternoon, except for the ten military guards under Big Loach, who could be regarded as elite combatants without further training, who stayed at the mouth of the river to guard, Lin Fu used cars and boats.
The remaining 30 armed guards were loaded onto the ship and the 120 newly recruited soldiers were loaded onto the ship and transported to the deserted beach at the east end of the prison island.
A pile of bamboo wood has been accumulated here, which can be used to build the camp wall. Later, a large amount of straw mat, oilcloth, rope, iron pot, rice grain, bedding and other materials were also transported to the deserted beach by boat. Lin Fu wanted to meet Zhao Hu.
Zhou Pu first taught these novices how to survive camping on the deserted beach, and then talked about training.
Lin Fu had the military guards and the newly recruited soldiers gather together for training at the newly established camp in the wasteland. Firstly, to avoid mundane troubles from interfering with the training, and he did not have to take care of both. If something happened, Zhao Hu and Zhou Pu could spare one of them at any time.
Help him, and with cars and boats that can turn quickly on the water, even if there is a police encounter at the mouth of the river, it will be a matter of a blink of an eye to rush to the rescue.
