Chapter 11: Training Agents

When Wang Xinyu's fleet arrived in the Zhoushan Islands, Chen Python, who was in the Zhao'an area of Yunxiao, had already begun to organize the local people to start summer plowing and planting late rice. The Ming army planned to stay on the mainland until autumn, and after the late rice had matured near the occupied county seat, it would harvest the late rice and then withdraw to Tongshan.

In order to cooperate with Chen Python's cultivation in the area of Yunxiao Zhao'an, Zheng Chenggong's main force increased pressure on the Zhangzhou Mansion, forcing the Zhangzhou Qing army not to dare to fight Yunxiao and Zhao'an. At the same time, Zheng Tai's army, which had set out from Kinmen, continued to move along the coastline from Ningde to Quanzhou, and landed from time to time, which put great pressure on the Qing troops in Fuzhou, Putian, and Quanzhou, and they did not dare to move at will. And the reinforcements of the Qing army? Dasu, Shi Lang and others have just arrived in Jiangnan, and they have also accepted the hospitality of officials at all levels in Jiangnan, especially the reception of Zhu Guozhi, the governor of Jiangsu. Dasu and others have eaten, drunk and had fun all the way, it will take at least a month to get to Beijing, and it will take time to get to Beijing, and it will take time to play, Shunzhi sent Luo Tuobeizi to lead tens of thousands of troops down to the south, and the preparations will take two or three months, and it will take another three or four months on the road, and when the Qing army reinforcements arrive in Fujian, it will have to wait until at least next year. As long as Chen Python is willing, it will be too late to harvest a season of winter wheat in the spring of next year and then go back.

Guangdong's support? Don't even think about it. Zheng Chenggong's detachment arrived on Nanao Island, where there was also a Ming army guard. When they arrived at Nan'ao Island, the partial division used Nan'ao Island as a supply base, cruising back and forth along the coast of Guangdong, moving around, and the Qing army in Guangdong did not dare to leave at all.

At this time, Dasu, Shi Lang and others, under the warm hospitality of Zhu Guozhi, the governor of Jiangsu, were eating and drinking all the way from Suzhou to Jiangning. From Hangzhou to Suzhou, the reception of Zhejiang Governor Tong Guoqi was not so good, that is, he ordered all prefects and counties along the way to hold a banquet to entertain Dasu and Shi Lang and his party. But when he arrived in Jiangsu, Zhu Guozhi, a loyal dog, took a high-standard hospitality, entertained delicacies from the mountains and seas every day, and also offered famous prostitutes in Jiangsu to accompany him, anyway, let Dasu and others eat and have fun.

Zhu Guozhi, known as Zhu Baidi, was insatiable, committed numerous crimes in Jiangnan, and later successively created the sales case and the weeping temple case, killing a large number of Jiangnan scribes and gentry, confiscating their property, and ruthlessly filling their private pockets, causing mourning all over Jiangnan, and the people scolded behind their backs.

is such a disgusting traitor, in a TV series in later generations, he was actually beautified as a loyal, patriotic, honest and honest good official, and finally scolded the traitor, second minister, and traitor Wu Sangui, righteous and awe-inspiring, generous and righteous, so that those Chinese people who don't understand history and only know that TV dramas are the official history shed tears.

But Zhu Guozhi didn't know that he had become a target of Wang Xinyu's special combat team.

Wang Xinyu has explained to Hong Xiguan, once there is a chance, Zhu Guozhi must be eliminated!

But not now, Wang Xinyu's special combat team is still training.

The newly established special combat team has two groups of personnel, one is the special combat team of the Marine Division Marine Battalion with only 12 special combat members, and the other group is the special combat battalion of special agents and the army special combat team.

During this time, many martial arts masters from all over the world came to Xiamen one after another, and after screening, they were selected into the Tiandihui special forces team commanded by Chen Jinnan and the special forces of the land division commanded by Hong Xiguan.

"Senior brother, we have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and now we have to be swept by the sun every day, standing in this useless queue. After standing, what physical training is there to do. That's too torturous, isn't it? Don't you know our talents, big brother? Cai Dezhong complained.

This Cai Dezhong is a Yunxiao person, who was favored by Cai Jiuyi not long ago and brought over from Yunxiao. This person has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and is also a master. After arriving in Xiamen, because he was Cai Jiuyi's second apprentice, he had to be called Senior Brother Hong Xiguan.

Ma Chaoxing, the youngest, only fourteen years old, also complained: "Senior brother! Little brother, I practiced basic skills at the age of three, and practiced martial arts at the age of five! You still don't believe in my physical fitness! ”

Cai Dezhong and Ma Chaoxing are both agents carefully selected by Cai Jiuyi and Hong Xiguan, they belong to the kind of military agents, whose mission is to specialize in assassinating important enemy personnel and protecting their own intelligence agents behind enemy lines, that is, a kind of special agents in the nature of a special agent operation group. These people not only need to be able to camouflage and conceal themselves well, but also need to be strong in martial arts, good at using various weapons, able to fly on walls, and be able to shoot and kill important personnel of the opponent from a long distance.

The special forces are different from the special forces, their requirements are higher than the general special forces, but the power of the weapons is definitely not as good as the special forces, and they need to use weapons with strong concealment.

There is another kind of intelligence agent, the kind who is responsible for collecting intelligence and sending the enemy information out; There are also agents who organize their activities behind enemy lines. Those agents don't have to be good at martial arts, they just need to be able to hide themselves well and be familiar with all kinds of agent activities. As for those agents, they were all trained by Chen Jinnan. In addition to these agents who joined the Zheng army, Chen Jinnan is also developing a group of agents who did not have the Zheng family army and were originally non-governmental organizations to form their own intelligence network.

After listening to the complaints of the two junior disciples, Hong Xiguan asked, "You two, if you are allowed to fight with the Tartars, how many Tartars can you fight alone?" ”

Ma Chaoxing said confidently: "Senior brother, it's not the little brother I'm bragging!" Ordinary Tartars come, I can beat them twenty or thirty at a time! ”

"What if a hundred men of your skill deal with two hundred Tartars? Do you think you can win? ”

"What's there that can't be beaten!" Although when they came, Hong Xiguan had said the importance of discipline many times, but they had never fought in actual combat, and these heroes were not convinced.

"Good!" Hong Xiguan put away his smile and straightened his face, "More than 100 of you are here today!" There are special forces, and there are also special forces of the land division! I'll organize a hundred of you and fight a battalion of two hundred sailors and see who wins! ”

Hearing that he was going to conduct a confrontation exercise with these special forces and special agents, Luo Xiang, the captain of the pro-soldiers, happily accepted the challenge: "Okay! Sect Leader Hong organized your gang of wandering stragglers, and brought a hundred personal soldiers and a hundred ordinary soldiers to fight with you and see who wins! ”

More than 100 special forces and special agents walked into the martial arts arena, more than 100 people, wearing all kinds of clothes, and the weapons in their hands were also varied, including wooden sticks, short knives, spears, meteor hammers, long-handled knives, Zen staffs, and big iron hammers, and even some people used iron rods, iron umbrellas, iron fans, judges' pens, Emei thorns, meridian mandarin ducks and other unpopular weapons, and some people were bare-handed, thinking that a pair of iron fists were invincible all over the world. However, these more than 100 people, it is obvious that they are practicing their families, and their martial arts are strong, and when it comes to fighting alone, the five people of the pro-soldier team may not be able to beat one of these heroes in the rivers and lakes.

As soon as Luo Xiang gave the order, the neatly dressed pro-soldiers and officers and soldiers of the Marine Division and Marine Battalion quickly gathered on the field.

"Sect Leader Hong, you say, how can we compare the Fa? If you use a weapon, you will hurt people, let's do this, everyone uses wooden weapons, the front bread is clothed, and there is powder in it, as long as the critical parts are stained with powder, it will be judged as killed; If the hands and feet are stained with powder, they will be judged injured and quit. How's that? Luo Xiang proposed.

Hong Xiguan's face was embarrassed: "You guys are easy to do, you all have trained wooden weapons." But my heroes have all kinds of weapons, where can I find so many kinds of wooden weapons for them? ”

"I have some training weapons here, including wooden knives, wooden guns, wooden hammers, wooden sticks, and wooden long-handled knives, which are easy to do. It's just what kind of judge pen, Emei thorn, iron umbrella, what meridian mandarin duck and the like, it's really hard to get wood. Luo Xiang shook his head and said.

In desperation, the two had no choice but to discuss that they would make some wooden training weapons for those heroes first, and then fight tomorrow.

The next day, the carpenter sent the finished wooden judge's pen, as well as the Emei thorn replaced by two short wooden sticks, a special wooden umbrella, and two wooden circles connected together as meridian mandarin ducks, and these wooden training weapons were sent to Hong Xiguan's special forces training camp. Although it was a wooden weapon, for the sake of safety, Luo Xiang still asked someone to send a batch of armor to these heroes of the rivers and lakes, which could play a protective role in preventing them from being seriously injured in the battle.

Ma Chaoxing, who got the wooden weapon and used a wooden ring knife, shouted: "Brothers! Today, we will let the officers and soldiers on the opposite side see how powerful we are! ”

The heroes of the rivers and lakes cheered one after another, as if they had already won the battle.

At that time, the confrontation exercise officially began.

For the sake of justice, Chen Jinnan took his own soldiers to stand next to those heroes in the rivers and lakes, once he saw a white spot on someone, if he refused to withdraw consciously, he would immediately pull it out; And Hong Xiguan stood on the side of Luo Xiang's team with a few soldiers, and pulled out when he saw a white spot.

Cai Dezhong stood on the field, looking at the neatly lined up on the opposite side, and the sailor battalion soldiers who were approaching step by step with the same pace, and suddenly felt a little weak.

"Senior brother, what are you afraid of them? They just stand good! Ma Chaoxing cheered up his senior brother.

At the front of Luo Xiang's team were forty sword and shield men, followed by eighty long-handled sword soldiers, and at the back were eighty personal soldiers who acted as archers. These soldiers can be used as archers at long range, and at close range, they can draw long knives for melee combat.

The power of the long-handled sword soldier is much greater than that of the pikeman, who is mainly used against cavalry, but when it comes to infantry such as sword and shield men and waist sword soldiers, they are vulnerable. In many novels, with a long line of spearmen, you can beat all kinds of heavy infantry to pieces, this kind of thing is simply impossible to happen, and the pikemen encounter all kinds of heavy infantry, which is completely ravaged. Therefore, in the Zheng army, there were many long-handled sword soldiers who replaced some pikemen. Long-handled broadsword soldiers, which can deal with both infantry and cavalry, are very powerful troops in the era of cold weapons. However, the long-handled knife is expensive, and the training requirements for each soldier are also high, so only Zheng Chenggong, who has deep pockets, can afford to raise this kind of heavy infantry.

"Kill!" Dressed in armor, but with a variety of weapons in their hands, the heroes of the rivers and lakes rushed up in a hurry, which looked very funny.

"Line up! Advance! Luo Xiang yelled.

The sword and shield bearers and long-handled sword soldiers advanced in a neat step, looking like a wall.

"Shoot the arrows!" Luo Xiang gave an order.

Eighty pro-soldiers stretched out their bows and arrows, aimed them at the air, released their fingers, and rows of random arrows flew into the sky, and then fell like rain, burrowing into the crowd of heroes in the rivers and lakes.

Cai Dezhong and Ma Chaoxing used the weapons in their hands to continuously pull away the flying wooden arrows. But those heroes around them were not so lucky, some people had white spots on them, and they were immediately forcibly pulled out of the team by Feng Xifan and several other personal soldiers.

"Kill!" Cai Dezhong roared, waved his wooden knife, and rushed towards the neat formation in front of him.

The heroes of the rivers and lakes braved the rain of arrows, constantly used their weapons to remove the wooden arrows, and soon rushed to the queue of the Marine Battalion.

"Protection!" Luo Xiang roared.

The sword and shield hand crouched down, and the wooden card in his hand was raised, forming an impermeable wall.

"Thorn!"

The long-handled swordsmen in the back used long-handled knives as spears, stabbing out from behind the wooden walls, and many heroes in the rivers and lakes had not had time to break through the shield array, and a little white spot appeared on their bodies.

"Kill!"

The shield of the sword and shield hand is separated, and the waist knife of the right hand is neatly chopped out. The long-handled swordsmen in the back followed, and a neat row of broadswords slashed down. In an instant, many heroes were dragged out by Feng Xifan and several personal soldiers.

Ma Chao slashed excitedly, and in front of him, three sword and shield men and a long knife soldier were cut out of white spots by him.

But at this time, more than a dozen long-handled knives stabbed at the same time.

Ma Chaoxing also had white spots on his body, but he was unwilling to quit, he was still rushing to kill, and was forcibly pulled out of the team by Feng Xifan.

Cai Dezhong, who was strong in martial arts, didn't last long, and was surrounded by a group of soldiers after a while, and his body was soon covered with white spots. He was conscious and automatically withdrew from the team.

In less than a stick of incense, the heroes of the rivers and lakes were completely wiped out, and the officers and soldiers of the pro-army team and the marine battalion of the Marine Division only "killed" 10 people, "seriously injured" 6 people, and "lightly injured" 17 people!

Such a record made those heroes stunned.

"No wonder, we can't beat the Tartars every time! Originally, we thought it was a matter of weapons, we only had wooden sticks and bamboo poles, and they were steel knives and iron armor. But now, our weapons are not bad, and we have lost so badly! A good man sighed.

Hong Xiguan told everyone: "This is the importance of discipline! Because they are a neat whole, and you are in separate formations, so you are defeated! But there is no shame in losing, from today onwards, you must first practice your queue training! ”
