Lin Fu and the others entered the Yangtze River waterway and traveled with the wind. Xisha Island was blocked by a sandbar outside the river mouth. After dark, they saw unusual firelight in the direction of Xisha Island. Lin Fu made the boat stick to the north bank and asked people to go ashore to pull fibers and speed up the journey.
After a sleepless night, in the early morning, Xisha Island was already lying in front of me, and several pillars of black smoke were rising straight into the sky in the direction of Guanyin Beach. Lin Fu grabbed the parapet guard on the bow of the ship, beat the guard board hard, and cursed.
: "All this military food is used to feed the dogs, and they know how to bark!"
Junshan Water Village is nearby, and an elite battalion from Ninghai Town is stationed in it. They sit and watch the attack on Guanyin Beach. How can Lin Fu not hate it?
Ao Canghai didn't say anything, his face was gloomy, and he just signaled to the soldiers and refugees to prepare for landing and fighting.
Lin Fu walked out of the cell on the bottom boat with a bang, signaled the guards to leave, kicked the prison door open, glared at Du Rong fiercely and asked: "Besides you, what else does the second young master of the She family have?
The person in charge is in Pingjiang Mansion?"
Du Rong locked his hands and feet in iron shackles. He was a little uncomfortable with the bright light when the cabin door suddenly opened. He raised his hand to cover his forehead, squinted at Lin Fu who was furious, and asked doubtfully: "Qin Zitan sent people to attack Xisha Island.
Already?" The voice was quite cold.
"Qin Zitan!" Lin Fu chewed the name, and then he realized that Du Rong was kidnapped at the entrance of Meixi Lake, but another big fish was let go.
It had only been two days since they set sail from Jiahang Prefecture. It was impossible for the main force of the East China Sea pirates to complete the battle in such a short period of time and withdraw from Taihu Lake to attack Xisha Island. The attack on Xisha Island could only be to win over the She family - to be precise
They were the group of Taihu thieves who gathered at the island village in the west mountain of Taihu Lake to win over She Feihu, the second son of the She family.
There were nearly a thousand Taihu bandits who gathered on Xishan Island in Taihu Lake. They were all a mixed crowd, and their actual combat effectiveness was not strong. However, when the main force of the East China Sea pirates pursued the Ninghai Town Navy for a battle and attacked the counties along the Taihu Lake, the Ninghai Town Navy
Passively avoiding the war, the local garrison and local soldiers were exhausted. When Lin Fu took a detour to the sea to avoid the Taihu war, it was beyond his reach. Qin Zitan led the Taihu pirates to attack the empty Xisha Island, but it was more than enough.
Lin Fu couldn't wait for the small boat to pick him up. After the big boat approached the shore, he jumped out of the boat and waded through the shallow water up to his chest to board Guanyin Beach.
After being raided, everything that could be set on fire in the Guanyintan disaster relief camp was in ruins. The outer walls of the chest-high buildings collapsed in many places and were scorched black. From Guanyintan upwards, broken halberds and broken blades were left behind.
Arrows were everywhere, and the solidified dark red blood was shocking.
Half of Lin Mengde's face was bruised and bloody, and his left arm was hung with a white cloth around his neck. Half of Hu Zhiyong's eyebrows were burned off, but he was not seriously injured. He and Zhao Qingshan stood on the half-length stone dam to greet Lin Fu.
Lin Mengde sighed and said: "Go and see Mr. Fu quickly. Mr. Fu hasn't woken up since yesterday. Whether he can survive it depends on today..."
Lin Fu's chest felt like a heavy blow, and his vision went dark. He held Shibadi with his waist knife, forced himself to calm down, and asked Lin Mengde: "What are the casualties of the other people?"
"The lake pirates attacked at noon yesterday, and about a thousand people forced ashore from Guanyin Beach," Lin Mengde said sadly, looking at the tragic scene behind him, "At that time, there were still 5,000 victims who failed to evacuate in time. Mr. Fu,
Zhou Pu led the armed guards and more than 600 temporarily organized civilian warriors to intercept along the beach. They fought and retreated, and finally retreated to the fortress to defend themselves. Fortunately, Zhao Hu and Zhao Qingshan came to the rescue in time last night, and the lake pirates retreated. However,
Less than half of the people in the wall can still stand up with swords and spears. Ninety-four people have been confirmed to be hopeless, and fifty or sixty people are seriously injured. Mr. Fu has gunshot wounds and numerous arrow wounds on his left arm.
He was cut off at the elbow level by a knife. Mr. Wu Yanqing came with the boat and used enough medicine for the wound, but Mr. Fu hadn't woken up yet. We were surrounded by a wall, and the lake pirates also sent some troops to attack the island.
After the siege of Guanyin Beach was relieved, Zhou Pu and Zhao Hu led the pursuit. At this time, the casualties in several other places on the island are unknown."
"How many people have you brought here, and what will be done at the mouth of the river?" Lin Fu asked Zhao Qingshan.
"After receiving the report and knowing that there was a threat of bandit attack on Xisha Island, the Seventh Madam asked me to lead Xiang Yong and Zhao Hu to lead a total of 200 soldiers to come by boat," Zhao Qingshan replied, "Four days ago, Mr. Gu was promoted to Inspector
The official document has arrived in Jiangning, Mr. Gu is in Jiangning at this time..."
With Gu Wuchen in Jiangning, there is no need to worry about the river mouth. Besides, Li Zhuo will not allow large groups of lake pirates to gather into Jiangning. Lin Fu took a deep breath and went to visit Fu Qinghe temporarily. At this time, six warships sailed out of Junshan Water Village.
The boat is coming this way.
Lin Fu looked at it coldly and resolutely ordered: "Arrow warning, refuse to land on the island; you are ready to fight. If the warships of the military mountain and water village dare to approach the beach within an arrow, they will be invaded by the enemy. Kill them regardless!"
"Lord Lin, you must not be reckless!" Li said, "The officers and soldiers of Junshan Shuizhai are under the jurisdiction of Ninghai Town. Xisha Island is ultimately under the jurisdiction of Junshan Shuizhai for river control. There is really no excuse to stop them from landing on the island!"
Although it is despicable that Junshanshui Village stood by and watched the attack on Xisha Island, Lin Fu refused Ninghai Town officers and soldiers to land on the island at this time, and even did not hesitate to fight against each other. If we look closely, this label is endless.
"Why is it so reckless? The lake pirates are attacking the island, and the army's mountain and water village is close at hand. I stand by and watch. How do I know that he has not colluded with the lake pirates? What is so reckless about denying him access to the island?" Lin Fu said coldly, refusing to listen to Li Shuyi's dissuasion.
, instructing Ao Canghai, Ge Cunxin, Ning Zechen and others to lead the group to board "Jiyun One" again, and "Jiyun Two" to prepare for combat!
Ao Canghai, Ge Cunxin, Ning Zechen and others had a grudge against the officers and soldiers of Junshanshui Village who stood by and watched. Even if Lin Fu ordered them to take the initiative to attack the approaching warships of Junshanshui Village, they would not hesitate. They were either outcasts or bandits.
If he was a defected military commander or a refugee, how could he care about the consequences of refusing to allow officers and soldiers to land on the island? At worst, he would just raise a flag to rebel.
Lin Mengde wanted to persuade Lin Fu, but gave up after thinking about it. The officers and soldiers of Junshanshui Village were indeed hateful. Besides, these officers and soldiers of Junshanshui Village were Xiao Taoyuan's cronies, and they might be powerful enemies of Xisha Island in the future. At this time, there were
Without excuses, it will be more difficult to prevent them from landing on Paracel Island in the future.
Li Shuyi saw that Lin Fu insisted on going his own way and refused to listen to dissuasion. Lin Fu and his subordinates also had a grudge against the officers and soldiers of Junshanshui Village and would not dissuade Lin Fu. He turned back and glanced at the six approaching Junshanshui Village warships and stopped trying to persuade him.
But he didn't say that he wanted to stay out of the incident and followed Lin Fu to the demolished relief camp.
The ruins on the ground are shocking. Most of the shacks and tents built before were burned down. Although the outer wall of the newly built chest-high enclosure collapsed with several holes, the whole was not destroyed. Many arrows were inserted deep into the bricks.
Stone.
It was this chest-high fortification wall built in time that saved more than 600 soldiers and civilian warriors stationed at Guanyin Beach from being encircled and annihilated.
The temporary tents were all within the fortification. Wu Yanqing and his medical disciples were treating the injured military guards and Min Yong. When they saw Lin Fu coming over, they just sighed and shook their heads. His subordinates did not stop to waste time talking to Lin Fu.
What are you talking about?
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wu." Lin Fu knelt down to inspect the wounds of the injured being treated by Wu Yanqing. He exchanged greetings with Wu Yanqing, but couldn't help but feel indignant. He stood up, looked around, and said, "A month ago, this island was damaged by
More than 20,000 people drowned due to the storm and the backwash of the sea. It can be said to be a natural disaster. Today is full of devastation. How can we blame it on natural disasters? Remember, those who eat the people's food cannot protect the people's livelihood. If you die in civilian affairs, you are a thief of the people.
!”
Since ancient times, Qingliu has only had the saying "Eat the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor". Lin Fu has the idea of "eating the people's food and being a traitor to the people". It is no wonder that Qingliu does not tolerate it. He said it so openly and pointed the finger at inaction.
Junshanshui Village and the local government were somewhat taboo. Li Shuyi just pretended not to hear it, and he really couldn't defend Junshanshui Village and Chongzhou County. He even felt ashamed that he was also a member of the Chongzhou County Yamen.
Lin Fu endured the pain and looked at the other injured first, and then went into the camp to see Fu Qinghe, who had lost blood from a broken arm and was in a coma. There was a medical apprentice in the camp to take care of him.
Fu Qinghe's face was as golden as gold, without any blood, his eye sockets were sunken, and the white beard on his chin was like withered grass in winter. There was not much life in it, which made people heartbroken. His left arm was cut off at the elbow, and the broken arm was put aside.
.
Lin Fu put his hand on the broken arm and couldn't help but shed tears. He was a human being in two lives. The first time he met were Fu Qinghe, Su Mei and Xiao Man. He regarded Fu Qinghe as a master and a father, although he also regarded Fu Qinghe as his teacher and father.
We were together less and separated more, but the depth of our feelings was unparalleled by others. Looking at Fu Qinghe who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, I thought he should be a person like Li Zhuo and Chen Zhihu. However, he had a rough life. Lying in this tent and not knowing whether he was alive or dead, he was just
An unknown character in the world of martial arts.
"Lao Gao said a few words before he passed out. He said that if he dies this time, with you here, he won't have anything to worry about." Wu Qi lifted the curtain and walked in.
Wu Qi was not seriously injured. He was worried about the situation around Guanyin Beach and was afraid that spies would sneak in. He insisted on being responsible for the reconnaissance. He did not return to the camp until Lin Fu came back. The wound on his shoulder was stretched and bleeding. Wu Qi
Yanqing walked in and got angry at Wu Qi: "You don't care about your life. You bled to death by walking around, and my reputation has been ruined by you!"
"I'm here. It's important for Mr. Crow to treat the wound first." Lin Fu turned around and sat upright next to Fu Qinghe, asking Wu Qi and Wu Yanqing to re-bandage the wound first.
Only then did Wu Qi, Lin Mengde and others see the tears on Lin Fu's face. They were confused and didn't know what to say. In their opinion, Lin Fu's mind was as solid as a rock. Although he was young, he was a first-class hero.
Depending on the current situation in the future, such a person will definitely not be a thing in the pool. Even a hero will inevitably fall in love with his daughter.
Lin Mengde thought that the robbery in Baisha County had transformed Lin Fu into two people. Fu Qinghe had the deepest relationship with them at that time, and the other two girls were probably Su Mei and Xiao Man. He thought that Su Mei was probably the seven inches in Lin Fu's heart.
The most important thing was that Lin Fu's tears today must not be leaked out, lest others threaten Su Mei.
