Chapter 1290: Yang Huairen's Suppression of Bandits (II)
The fire on Badger Island spread, and although the middle of the island did not burn, the fire raged in the reeds around it, making the air in the middle of the island hotter and thinner.
The bandits knew that there was nowhere to hide, and that there was only one way to die on the island, so they could only brave the fire and rush out, but as soon as they appeared, countless arrows flew from all directions, and many of them turned into hedgehogs.
As long as a very small number of water bandits escaped and jumped into the water, it should be those with better water nature.
In this way, Yang Huairen is not afraid, the temporarily formed sailor army drove the boat side by side to occupy the river, waiting for the water bandits to come, anyway, the entire Badger Island has been surrounded by water, Yang Huairen doesn't believe it, no matter how good your water nature is, can you still not show your head?
The navy began to tighten the encirclement like a school of fish, because the river was not very clear, and although it was not deep, it was impossible to see the movement in the water.
At this time, the sailors took out the long bamboo poles they had prepared, and there was a soldier on the bow of each boat, stretching the bamboo poles into the water and sweeping them back and forth.
There are fishing nets dragged behind the boat, and even if the diving bandits are in good water, there is nowhere to escape.
Sure enough, a soldier swept something in the water with a bamboo pole, he immediately shouted, and more soldiers picked up bamboo poles to sweep in the nearby waters, and the diving bandits were swept to their bodies, and they couldn't bear the pain and broke their breath, and they had no choice but to show their heads for ventilation.
It doesn't matter if this outcrop occurs, there are soldiers with fishing nets ready for a long time, and the moment they see people, they get out of the net and bring up the water bandits with a net like a net king.
Halfway through the fishing net, a soldier suddenly asked, "Did the prince say that he wanted to live?" ”
The other soldiers looked at each other, feeling that the prince didn't seem to say, and then everyone suddenly laughed, and the captain of the ship spoke, "The prince doesn't want to live, what's the use of us trying to pull him up?" ”
The other soldiers nodded one after another, "Yes, these gang of water bandits have killed countless people, what's the use of keeping them?" It's a waste of food to be sent to prison. ”
After saying this, he wrapped the stones used in the sinking net and stuffed it into the fishing net for the captured bandit to hold, and then knocked him unconscious with a stick, and then cut the rope that pulled the net, and let him sink to the bottom of the river.
Seeing the water bandits sinking, the soldiers did not forget to tease, "Don't you like diving, you can dive slowly." ”
The soldiers here stuffed the caught water bandits with stones and sank to the bottom of the river, and the other soldiers saw the same, originally they hated this gang of water bandits after listening to the cries of the victims in Suzhou, and now it is time to vent.
So several water bandits caught by the navy were knocked out and sank to the bottom of the river. Next, they searched the river back and forth twice, swept away all the silt at the bottom of the river, and found no hidden water bandits, and then the sailors called it a day.
The reeds on Badger Island burned almost, and the fire gradually decreased, and then the whole appearance of Badger Island was displayed in front of people.
Speaking of badger island is really not big, it is only an area of 100 acres, mainly because there were too many reeds in the past, blocking people's sight, and now badger island is burned into a black land, which is called an unobstructed view.
The sailors waited for the fire to gradually extinguish before they began to land on the island, examining the corpses of every water bandit who had been burned or smoked to death, and making sure that the water bandits were dead, and then left and returned to the shore to resume their lives.
Yang Huairen saw it, and they didn't need to say more, from the beginning to the end, in less than an hour, the things that the Suzhou local government couldn't do in the past few years were easily solved by Yang Huairen and his two guards.
Stunned by the local officials in Suzhou who were left in the distance, Lord Liu looked at the burned badger island in amazement, and asked his colleagues around him, "This is the end?" A fire...... But why ......?"
The colleague whispered, "Sir, haven't you heard of it?" This prince is a cook, and cooks like to use fire, so ......"
The next words speak for themselves. But this makes them seem incompetent.
Yang Huairen walked back with the people and horses, and when he came to Lord Liu and them, he found that the group of people knelt down again.
Yang Huairen knew what they were thinking, and he didn't bother to care about these officials, there were too many officials like Quan Da Song, and they basically ruled in the spirit of inaction without making mistakes.
As long as the affairs of the official family and the affairs of the court are handled beautifully, the affairs of the common people, if they have the ability, they will do a few things, and if they don't have the ability, they will be fooled, anyway, it is not the common people who decide whether they can be promoted and make a fortune.
This kind of way of being an official, which dynasty and which generation is also similar, there are more scholars who have been officials for thousands of years, and how many can be praised by the common people? Count the number of them.
Yang Huairen didn't have the ability to take care of this kind of thing, so he just warned Lord Liu and ignored them.
Back in Suzhou City, Yang Huairen's extermination of the Badger Island water bandits has quickly spread throughout the city, and the common people spontaneously came out of their homes to welcome Yang Huairen and the soldiers.
The people who were hurt by the water bandits knelt directly in the middle of the road, and there were hundreds of people in total, which shows how many bad things the water bandits in Badger Island have done in recent years, and how many people have been harmed.
Yang Huairen is very close to the people, and he doesn't like to be kneeled to him, so he led the soldiers to come forward and personally helped the kneeling people up.
The people in the city felt that there would be no bandits in the future, and they could go out of the city and run away with peace of mind, and they were grateful, so they took out all kinds of food and wine at home to comfort the soldiers.
At this time, the scene can be called a warm, but all the soldiers passing by, stuffing fruit snacks, stuffing egg buns, everything.
There were even a few unrestrained little ladies who threw sachets and handkerchiefs over, and a little soldier took a pink handkerchief from his face with a red face, and didn't know what to do, so he turned his head and stuffed it to General Chen next to him.
Brother Tianba immediately stuffed the little soldier back into his arms, glared at a pair of big bull's eyes and scolded, "You stinky boy, hurt me?" If my wife sees it, will I still have a way to live? ”
A few soldiers next to him covered their mouths and snickered together, and Brother Tianba scolded again, "What are you laughing at?" When you marry a lady, you will know that it is amazing, women are tigers, have you heard of it? ”
After speaking, he looked at his hands again, and muttered in his mouth, "Oh no, I have the smell of that piece of champa on my hand, my lady's nose is so smart, she will definitely smell it." ”
"Alas......"
He sighed, pointed to the little soldier who stuffed his handkerchief and complained, "It's all your fault, the bad old man went back and took a bath before he could go home." ”
Xiao Qi next to him heard this, he held back a smile in his heart, and secretly collected a lot of these things from several soldiers who were thrown sachets and handkerchiefs, and suddenly sneaked up from behind Tianba's younger brother and stuffed those sachet handkerchiefs into the collar of his back coat......
