On the morning of November 9th, the weather was gloomy. The north wind blew all night, and at dawn, fine snowflakes were slowly falling. The first snow in the Funiu Mountains this year came a little late, but it still came.
.
Seeing that the snow was getting serious, Lin Jue couldn't wait any longer. He convened a gathering of more than a dozen key people in the lobby of the county government office and announced a decision.
"Everyone, I'm afraid I have to leave the mountain stronghold for a while, so I have summoned all the brothers to explain this matter to you." Lin Jue said to everyone.
Everyone was joking and joking with each other, but upon hearing this, they all looked at Lin Jue in surprise.
"The military advisor is leaving? Where are you going? Are you coming back?" Liang Qi asked first.
Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, realizing that they might have misunderstood, and said with a smile: "I just left here temporarily to go do some business, why didn't I come back? Where did you think you were?"
Liang Qi and others breathed a long sigh of relief when they heard this. Lu Yi patted his chest and said, "I was scared to death. I thought the military advisor was leaving here. It's impossible even when I think about it. The military advisor is gone, and my family is gone."
, the whole family is here, where else can we go?”
Lin Jue rolled his eyes. This Liang Qi is too poor at talking. How could he talk like this? Isn't this exposing scars?
"Lin Jue, what are you going to do out of the mountain? Winter is approaching, what are you going to do out of the mountain at this time?" Guo Kun asked in a deep voice.
Everyone stretched their necks and looked at Lin Jue. Guo Kun asked what they wanted to know.
"During this period, we discussed the matter of the armament of our Luoyan Army. This matter cannot wait any longer. It must be resolved as soon as possible. Needless to say, the officers and soldiers will definitely attack us again. When the ice and snow melt tomorrow and the road becomes clear, they will
They will definitely come back. And if we do it again, we may not be as lucky as this time. Therefore, we must resolve the matter of military preparation before then. Every preparation we make now is a chance to defeat them in the future. I will go out this time
It's to resolve this matter." Lin Jue said solemnly.
Everyone suddenly realized, Shen Tan said: "Are you going to buy outside the mountains? But these weapons and equipment are not easy to buy. Is it possible that you have old friends in the capital? Can you buy some secretly?"
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "No, who dares to deal with us secretly now? Isn't that asking for death? Guo Xu knows about it and still doesn't kill him? Besides, the weapons and armor we lack are huge, so we can't buy so much.
.I do need to buy some things when I go out this time, but they are just iron ingots, gunpowder and the like, not armor and weapons."
Ma Bin said: "We can just ask people to do this kind of thing, why bother to go there in person? You still have to do it yourself to purchase the items?"
"That is, even if they block us again, money can make all the difference, but our people still can't buy things back? Why do we need to command the envoy to go there in person?" Everyone said one after another.
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "But of course I don't need to go to these things. But this time I want to go somewhere.
If I'm lucky, I can get thousands of sets of armor and equipment and combat supplies without spending a tael of silver. Of course, I'm not sure, I'm just trying my luck."
Everyone asked in astonishment: "Where can I get it? Such a good thing?"
Gao Muqing suddenly said: "Could it be that you are going to Peach Blossom Island?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Mu Qing's guess is somewhat correct. There was an underground warehouse on Taohua Island, which indeed contained a large amount of weapons and equipment. However, the underground cave has long since collapsed. After the kerosene inside exploded and burned, everything was probably destroyed."
No more, it’s all in vain. This time I’m going to Snake Island in the Bohai Sea. You don’t know, but when we quelled the Qingjiao rebellion, we captured Hai Dongqing alive, and Hai Dongqing confessed his relationship with the Liao people.
They used Snake Island in the Bohai Sea as a transfer point for the supply of materials and equipment. A large number of equipment and materials supported by the Liao people were concentrated on Snake Island, which was used to arm Haidongqing's followers and launch an uprising.
Dongqing transported part of it, but was defeated by us immediately, and a large amount of supplies were left on Snake Island. If I could find that batch of military supplies, wouldn't it be a free windfall? I thought about this the night before yesterday.
, the more I think about it, the more I can’t stay any longer, I have to go and have a look.”
Everyone was surprised. Guo Kun frowned and said, "I heard you tell me about this, but are those things still on the island? After the rebellion was suppressed, the imperial court should have sent troops to seize all these things."
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case. I didn't make any publicity about this matter. I executed Hai Dongqing, and I didn't send him to the capital for trial. The imperial court should not know about it. Unless you reported it to the imperial court."
Guo Kun shook his head and said, "If you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten about it. I didn't report it to the court."
Lin Jue said: "That's it. No one knows that there are supplies on the island. Moreover, Hai Dongqing said that the equipment and supplies are hidden in the caves. Even if the imperial court sends troops to the island, they may not be able to find the equipment and supplies. What I have said is that
What I am worried about are Haidongqing's men. Once the Qingjiao is defeated, these people will scatter like birds and beasts. I'm worried that they will burn those things on fire before running away. That would be the most disgusting thing. In any case, I have to go there.
If the equipment and materials are still there, there will be thousands of sets of Liao-style armor and weapons, as well as a large amount of army supplies. With these things in hand, the combat effectiveness of our Luoyan Army will be greatly improved, and I cannot let this opportunity pass me by."
Everyone's eyes lit up. Hearing what Lin Jue said, there was definitely a lot of supplies on the island. For the Luoyan Army, that would be a timely help. If officers and soldiers attack next year, the Luoyan Army will already be at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and will no longer have sophisticated equipment.
, is indeed very worrying. If the armament problem is solved, the Luoyan Army can fight them head-on no matter what. Coupled with the military counselor's clever tricks and various firearms, there should be a fight. The military counselor is so anxious to solve this matter
It is precisely because this is an extremely important matter to the Luoyan Army.
"I see, it's worth a visit. But Bohai Snake Island is thousands of miles away from here, and you still have to cross the sea. Even if you find these things, how will you transport them back? It's difficult.
Why don't we transport it thousands of miles to Funiu Mountain in a convoy with great fanfare? It seems impossible." Guo Kun frowned.
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have my own way. Find a sea ship disguised as overseas trade goods, go around Jiangxi, and we can pick it up when we arrive in Tangzhou. But it will take some effort. I am
I'm not worried about that. I'm just worried about whether those things are still there. After all, I'm not the only one who knows about those things. So I said, this is just a chance. We can do whatever we want here, but don't pin your hopes on this.
On the batch of supplies. Didn’t Brother Shen say what he said last time? He has friends in the weapons department, and they have to keep in touch. The worst is to buy them at a high price. An extra set of equipment and armor will be good. The little things add up, right? Military workshop
It is also necessary to expand the scale and explore the crafts of armor making. It is not possible to go to Dazhou Prefecture to kidnap a group of craftsmen who make and repair armors. In short, all preparations must be made to serve the Luoyan Army's armaments."
Everyone nodded. Lin Jue attached so much importance to this matter. It was definitely an issue that everyone must pay attention to. It was definitely not a joke.
"The military advisor has to go there in person, which makes people worry. The military advisor is now a thorn in Guo Xu's side. If something happens to him, it will be terrible." Liang Qi muttered.
Lin Jue said with a smile: "Can you hope for me? Besides, wouldn't this place be the same without me? The Luoyan Army should be able to do it without anyone. That is an iron army. If I am not here, you will still be the same.
It only matters if it can run smoothly. We have rules and military disciplines, and everything must be done according to the rules."
Liang Qidao: "If the military advisor is not there, the battle will be won by a fart. Although it is as the military advisor said, but who among the superiors and subordinates can compare with the military advisor? The military advisor is not here, and everyone's confidence has been reduced by half."
Everyone said yes, saying that it would be best if someone else went there, and it would be better for the military advisor not to take risks.
Lin Jue waved his hand to stop everyone and said: "I have already decided that I must go personally for this matter. I don't trust anyone who goes there. I won't be gone for too long. I will try to come back years ago. How can there be such things as you said?
.I will also be careful. Besides, I am not going alone. I will take people with me to protect me. After I leave, the military affairs will be handled by the young prince on my behalf, and you all have to obey his orders. Do you understand?
?”
Everyone stared at each other. Guo Kun, the nominal leader, did not have much prestige in the army. If the soldiers and horses were entrusted to him to lead, everyone had some ideas in their minds.
Guo Kun himself realized this and hurriedly said: "No, no, I'd better leave the military affairs to others. I can't handle it well."
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "It can only be you, there is nothing you can't handle. You were also the commander of the infantry division of the imperial guards. You have more than twice as many soldiers and horses as the Luoyan Army, so you are qualified. My lord, this is you.
We, the Luoyan Army, are holding up the banner of King Bianliang. You must do your part, how can you refuse? All the brothers will help you with specific matters, but you must take this step."
