During the night battle at the mouth of the river, Jiyunshe's military guards and minyong captured more than 300 prisoners. Except for a dozen bandits who were sent to the prison island for detention, the others were handed over to Li Zhuo's men to take them away. Lin Fu was not very polite to these prisoners.
, I took off everything I could, and wished I could leave them with only a pair of underpants to wear.
The equipment of the Taihu pirates was very poor, but the private soldiers of the Qu family who were defeated at the Hedi Pier were well-equipped. During the night battle, the private soldiers of the Qu family on both sides of the Jinchuan River below the Hedi Pier killed more than 20 people on the spot and wounded prisoners.
There were nearly sixty people. Of course, Lin Fu unceremoniously took off all the fine armor on these people, including the scale armor Qu Wuyang was wearing, and then handed over the corpses and wounded prisoners.
Good armor is hard to find, so Qu Wuming was shot dead on the spot by Lin Fu at the river embankment. The scale armor he was wearing had a hole in his chest when Lin Fu shot a gun at close range. Lin Fu didn't care that Qu Wuming was a person before his death, so he directly killed this man.
The scales and armor were removed from the corpse and sent for repair.
The repair of scale armor is relatively easy, just replace the deformed and damaged steel armor pieces.
The night battle at Hekou showed that the double-layered cortical armor was seriously insufficient in resisting spear and spear thrusts. The efficiency of blocking spears and spears at close range by a soldier holding a Mo Dao was not even as good as that of a sword and shield. The Mo Dao Armor was used first.
It has become a top priority for soldiers to equip their soldiers with good armor or above.
This time, Lin Fu only handed over some broken soldiers and armors, as well as low-quality iron knives, iron spears, etc. as a token token. He kept all the good things, and received more than 600 pieces of armor and various weapons.
The only pity is that the private soldiers and remnant bandits of the Qu family who were besieged in Sanliu Garden were taken over by the Dongcheng Weima infantry and handed over to the Jiangning garrison. No matter how thick-skinned Lin Fu was, he was too embarrassed to ask Liu Xiliu for the whereabouts.
Soldiers and armor stripped from a group of prisoners. After all, he had already blackmailed the Dongcheng Weima infantrymen last time.
Gu Wuchen, Yang Pu and others also turned a blind eye to the seizure of soldiers and armors. After all, Lin Fu's soldiers and armors were also damaged a lot in the battle at the mouth of the river.
Lin Fu used up three knives in one night. One of the knives was cut off with too much force, and that was the gap. His right shoulder was slashed hard by the most powerful martial artist among the thieves. Fortunately, his scales were extremely protective, so he could
It turned into an ordinary leather armor, and the entire arm might have to be chopped off, which made Ao Canghai, Zhou Pu and others who were guarding him break into a cold sweat; there were also two blades with gaps like saws.
With the capture of the Battle of Hekou as a foundation, Lin Fu can openly mix and use the excellent soldiers and armor that he fished in the troubled waters of the Qin family's fleet at Luoyang Lake last time. In the two hundred sets of Yunwu Guards, there are more than forty Mo Dao soldiers.
Those who wear high-quality armor and above, those with swords and shields, and those holding bamboo spears all wear combined armor, and those with crossbows also wear leather armor.
In addition, Lin Fu also secretly sent a large number of armor and iron weapons to Changshan Island, allowing the three hundred elites of Changshan Island to completely surpass the level of pirate-level armament.
On June 16, Lin Fu left the mouth of the river, and three ships, "Dongyang", "Jiyun 1" and "Jiyun 2", gathered in front of the dock to gear up.
Lin Fu used the Dongyang as the command ship and formed a team of three ships to sail down the Pingjiang River. It was also a grand event for the estuary. Many people gathered on the river banks on both sides of the pier to watch, and naturally there were informants from various companies among them.
.
After the Qujiatong bandit case, those with foresight could also see the rise of Hekou. What's more, when Lin Fu asked the survivors of the Qin family to return safely from Luoyang Lake, he foresaw that Hekou would eventually win the competition with Quyang Town.
In fact, behind Hekou stands the Chu Party, which is gaining power in the DPRK, and behind Quyang Town stands Chen Xiyan, who is trying to compete for power. Those who can see this, and those who have bet their money on the Chu Party in advance, will naturally
I'm optimistic that Hekou will win in the end.
The new houses built by the Dongyang Township Party at the mouth of the river, which the Dongyang Township Party had been forced to invest in money, as well as the land on both sides of the carriage road outside the south gate of the fence and along the embankment on the west bank of the Jinchuan River, where it was convenient to build private gardens, became hot commodities.
Even the feudal clan, Fan Ding, bought an unfinished house on the back street from the Dongyang Township Party at a high price. They wanted to transform the main house and the left and right wing rooms into a three-story brick building. It was said that it would be opened at the mouth of the river.
One branch is actually blatantly inserting its influence into the river mouth.
There is a private bamboo garden outside the poplar forest southwest of the fence at the mouth of the river. The private bamboo garden is not big, about two acres of land. Except for a few elegant houses, the garden is full of bamboos. The garden is close to the village to the west, on the far west side of the river mouth.
The fence is only more than a mile long, and there is a path behind the garden that leads to the river cliff. It is the garden where an old director of Jiangning's household department lived in summer in Jiangning city after becoming an official.
This garden had changed owners in the middle of last month before the Battle of Hekou, and Lin Fu and the others had no idea at first.
When the new owner bought forty or fifty acres of land from the private bamboo garden to the river, he had many green bamboos transplanted there, and pavilions and pavilions were built in the garden, intending to expand it into a truly private garden.
Only then did it attract the attention of Lin Fu and others; but the details of the new garden owner could not be found out through the inspection department.
Jiangning was the capital of the empire. Big families such as Yongchang Houfu and Mu Guogongfu had existed in Jiangning for more than 200 years. The power Lin Fu could use was also very limited. Wu Qi had only ten people under his command to monitor the river mouth, which seemed powerful.
If it is weak, how can it be possible to discover the foundation of Jiangning City's two hundred years of accumulation?
As the saying goes, "Once you come, let's settle down." If Hekou wants to replace Quyang Town, it will naturally have to be open to all rivers. When the vassal family comes in, She Feihu will also send hidden agents into Hekou, and Lin Fu is not afraid of several people.
Unidentified people come in.
Zhao Shuhan and Ge Siyu also came to see Lin Fu off today. After Lin Fu boarded the Dongyang ship, he had no patience to stay at the dock to watch the other two ships making final preparations before raising the sails.
"Are they the new owners of that garden?" Zhao Shuhan stood on the pier, turned to look at several people standing on the river bank outside the fence, looking over here, and asked Ge Siyu.
"Nothing's wrong, let's go over and ask," Ge Siyu said.
There was a small gate on the west side of the fence of the Minyong training camp. Ge Siyu and Zhao Shuhan passed through it with their personal entourage, and walked along the river bank towards the private bamboo garden.
In the back garden of the Private Bamboo Garden near the river, craftsmen were building a pavilion. The pavilion was on a higher ground. In front of the pavilion stood a man, a woman and a few followers. Zhao Shuhan and Ge Siyu walked over and took a look, and were startled.
, the older man, with his beard gradually dyed white, turned out to be Mu Guogong Zeng Mingxin. The charming woman beside him was none other than Mu Guogong's new love, Jiangning's famous dancer Chen Qingqing.
"It turns out that the Duke of Guo bought this house," Zhao Shuhan saluted Zeng Mingxin through a chest-high short bamboo fence and said with a smile, "It has kept us guessing for so many days."
"It's not as good as the riddles Lin Fu asked us to guess," Zeng Mingxin said with a smile, "Who can guess what amazing move he will make next? Are Director Zhao and Ge Jiancheng here to see Lin Fu off?"
Ge Siyu did not expect that Guo Guo Mu knew about his small role and made a donation to him as a gift; he was actually the deputy superintendent of Longjiang Shipyard.
Zhao Shuhan smiled slightly. They were close to Lin Fu. After all, they did not know Duke Mu's attitude towards Lin Fu. Some topics should not be mentioned frivolously and without reason.
"What flag is flying on his ship?" Chen Qingqing asked with a smile. "Looking at it from a distance, it looks very majestic."
"The main flag hung on the main mast is 'Jiangdong's Inspector-General's Division prepares grain envoys and marches to Langlin', and the secondary flag 'Jiangdong's Inspector-General Si Dongyang prepares troops and gathers clouds to defend the yong'," said Zhao Shuhan.
"It's no wonder that Jiyun Shewu Guards Armor's equipment dares to blatantly violate the regulations. I don't think it's anyone's private soldier. It's obvious that the elites of Baizhan are only so energetic. I really gave him a good name," Chen Qingze said.
He Yuejing, the former Jiangning guard, had been a concubine and knew some military affairs. He added, "The little-known little character who came to Jiangnan last autumn and winter has now caused a storm in Jiangning. It's just the three bow decks and the stern cabin roof."
What’s that big thing covered with oilcloth on the deck?”
"Ge Jiancheng and I don't know much about this," Zhao Shuhan said.
In fact, Zhao Shuhan and Ge Siyu knew that the bow deck of each of the three ships was covered with oil cloth and there were two bed crossbows, and a scorpion crossbow was fixed on the stern deck.
Lin Fu organized some Linjiayong soldiers into the Jiyun Military Guard, but it could not change the nature of the private soldiers and guest soldiers. The military guards could still move with the merchant ships, but it was extremely troublesome for the private soldiers and guest soldiers to leave the country and enter the country.
For the sake of convenience, Lin Fu put the Jiyun Military Guards under the name of Dongyang Bilian Xiangyong this time, and used the name of Dongyang Bingbei Road Jiyun Weiyong to guard and raise food.
Since the imperial court officially allowed the Fourth Prefecture to organize and train local warriors and form the same town army, with this name, Lin Fu not only obtained the right of passage for the Jiyun Military Guard in Jiangdong County, but also could break through the previous restrictions on private soldiers and raise weapons and equipment by himself.
Food and wages, strong bows, heavy soldiers, strong armor, and even large bed crossbows can be equipped.
The only disadvantage is that Gu Wuchen, Lin Tingli and others now have the legitimate name to mobilize the Jiyun Military Guard.
Of course, when it came to Gu Wuchen and Lin Tingli's plan to seize Lin Fu's private soldiers, the two sides almost fell out. The so-called nominal transfer power could not compare with Lin Fu's actual control.
The Inspector General could supervise military preparations, but had no authority to directly mobilize war preparations. Lin Fu could only use gold and silver to clear the way, bribed officials from Jiangning Weiwei Temple and the Arsenal Department, and bought six crossbows and fixed them on both sides of the ship's side.
Can be turned to shoot crossbow arrows.
The most essential difference between the small scorpion crossbow and several contemporary catapult crossbows is that the scorpion crossbow uses the torsion of the crossbow string as the power source, successfully solving the problem of installing catapults on medium-sized or larger warships. However, the main structure is different from that of several contemporary small catapult crossbows.
The crossbows were not much different. Lin Fu also urgently assembled three scorpion crossbows and fixed them on the deck of the tail cabin.
Zhao Shuhan and Ge Siyu knew this clearly because they invited Lin Fu to study the materials and structure of the Scorpion Crossbow string and arm.
Mu Guogong Zeng Mingxin smiled slightly. If he could get anything out of the mouths of Zhao Shuhan and Ge Siyu, how could Lin Fu trust them so much? Zeng Mingxin knew that Lin Fu came to Jiangning last autumn and winter as a small player.
At this moment, Bie is really about to set sail. Who knows how far he can go in the end?
