Chapter 393: Come back and clean them up
Zhang Dou was stunned when he heard the name of the mixed river dragon, and couldn't help asking, "Who is the mixed river dragon?" ”
Wang Gang replied: "My lord! Mixed Jianglong, the commander of the imperial court's sailors, was exposed to the grass on Poyang Lake because of the robbery of past merchant ships, and became a water bandit.
The water bandits he led were all officers and soldiers of the water division in the past, and they had the strongest combat power in this area. In a few years, he unified the large and small forces around Poyang Lake and became the actual controller of Poyang Lake.
There are hundreds of warships under his command, and there are thousands of bandits who can fight and fight. The officers and soldiers were defeated several times, and his reputation shook Jiujiang from then on.
The passing ships had to go to the pier on Qianshan Island to send him silver money in order to pass through the waters of Jiujiang safely, otherwise they would definitely be looted.
Moreover, the method of mixing Jianglong is cruel, as long as it is the target he is targeting, he will never live. Every time someone is killed, the head is cut off and piled up on the ship to form a kyokan to deter other merchant ships passing by. So ......"
Hearing Wang Gang's explanation, a smile appeared on Zhang Dou's face. This mixed Jianglong is also a talent, and he even thought of a way to sit on the ground and collect protection money.
And he also used blood to deter other businessmen who dared to take risks, and he was indeed a talent. However, he and the others were not on an ordinary merchant ship, and it was inevitable that the dragon would be greedy when he saw it.
Even if you give the silver, you may not be able to pass through Jiujiang safely, since this is the case, let yourself try how many catties and taels the so-called mixed river dragon has!
"Don't pay attention to the mixed river dragon, let the people on the boat be vigilant! If the water bandits dare to come, let them taste the power of artillery! Zhang Dou said confidently.
He has absolute confidence in his Changxing army, the Xiyi people are not his opponents, the Japanese sailors were wiped out by him, and the Koreans were so frightened by him that they didn't even dare to show their faces, what can the water bandits do?
If the water bandits don't come, if they really dare to rob themselves, then let the water bandits in Poyang Lake know the power of the Changxing Army.
In the Juyi Hall of the Qiandao Water Village, the mixed river dragon sits in the middle. There were more than a dozen leaders on the left and right who kept complimenting Mingjiang Long, and one said: "Now the name of the eldest brother not only shocks the Jiujiang Poyang Lake, but even the passing ships on the Yangtze River know your prestige. According to the younger brother, we might as well learn from Song Jiang in Shuibo Liangshan, and hang up the banner and forget it! ”
Another person also said, "Yes! Big brother, didn't the Zhu family's country also come up from Meng Yuan's hands! What they do, we can do! ”
……
Listening to the compliments of his subordinates, Mingjianglong was a little fluttering. He is also a strong party, only with a broken ship and more than 40 brothers at the beginning, it has developed to more than 300 warships and more than 2,000 brothers under his command.
As long as there are ships passing by here in Jiujiang, he can't escape his ears and eyes, and he has become the emperor of the soil in this area.
As for the compliments of his subordinates, he knew that if he really rebelled, he would face overwhelming encirclement and suppression.
At that time, his seemingly powerful power will disappear in an instant, so pulling the flag and rebelling is simply a joke, just listen to it.
At this moment, a minion ran in and reported: "Report! Big boss! A strange fleet of ships has been coming from the direction of Anqing, and the speed is extremely fast. They didn't worship our pier, and went directly to Jiujiang! ”
Hearing that someone dared to break into Jiujiang without worshipping the wharf, the big and small leaders in the hall were full of indignation.
The second master black head was the first to jump up, he slammed the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and said loudly: "Temu's! I really ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, so we really can't put it on display? Lao Tzu hasn't killed anyone recently, and some people want to pick up cheap. If you don't kill a river of blood this time, Lao Tzu won't be called a blackhead. Eldest brother! Give the younger brother fifty warships, and the younger brother will cut off the heads of these merchants and give them to the brothers as balls to kick! ”
The other leaders also echoed their words and asked for orders to fight.
Mixed Jianglong glanced at all the subordinates who had come forward to ask for the battle, and nodded with satisfaction. Said: "Blackhead! Remember, any ship that tries to sneak across the Jiujiang River will sink me, and whoever is on board is at your disposal. ”
Hearing that the mixed river dragon was letting the black head fight again, the others obviously showed disappointment. Playing in battle means benefit, and every time you deal with something like this means a lot of silver.
Looking at the black head who departed triumphantly, everyone else showed envy on their faces. Many people cursed the blackhead for not being able to take those merchants and coming back with a big loss.
But this can only be just a thought, fifty warships and hundreds of brothers, how can they not take a merchant with only a dozen warships?
After the black head left the Juyi Hall, he ordered his men to drive fifty warships straight to the Jiujiang Waterway.
It is the only way to go to Jiujiang, and if you want to enter Jiujiang, you can't bypass that channel. Along the way, the other merchant ships saw the men and horses of the mixed river dragon dispatching, and they all fled in panic.
They were afraid that they would run into the hands of the mixed river dragon and lose their lives in vain. Many shipowners sighed for a while, and it seemed that someone was going to be unlucky again.
Every time the Mixed River Dragon is dispatched, he will kill it, and this time I don't know who is so bold that he dares to provoke the evil dragon of the Mixed River Dragon.
The black head waited for a long time in the Jiujiang waterway before he saw this strange fleet, and when he saw the tall sails, the black head was obviously stunned.
Soft sails? These sea ships are obviously the style of the Xiyi people, and they are completely sea ships!
Only seagoing ships built their sides so low to prevent stability at sea, but the sides of these ships were also too low, almost at the same level as the water.
And the long and narrow hull and pointed bow all show the special nature of these sea ships. Watching these ships sail on the river, a hint of greed appeared in the eyes of the black head.
If he had such a fleet, no ship would be able to escape his pursuit.
Remain! None of these ships should be missing, and all of them must be left behind. At that moment, he turned his head and said to the bandits beside him: "Wait a minute, don't use fire bricks and fire buckets, Lao Tzu wants these sea boats." The first person to attack will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and two women! ”
Hearing the voice of the black head, all the water bandits became excited. Such a high reward has rarely been seen in recent years, and it is enough to spell everything once.
Zhang Dou looked at the water bandit intercepted in front of him at the bow of the boat and shook his head for a while, just like this person to intercept him, is the water bandit too confident, or is he too low-key?
"Command! Once the bandits get close to shoot freely, we don't have time to dwell on the bandits. Disperse the water bandits immediately through Jiujiang, and when they come back, they will be cleaned up! Zhang Dou ordered.
"Yes!" Zhang Huan agreed, and went to hoist the order flag to inform the other ships.
