"General, there are more than 30 brothers who vomit and can't stand, so they go to rest under the cabin, General, there are more than 300 people, and many brothers are also vomiting, but the situation is not so strict." Xue Rengui's lieutenant hurriedly walked into Xue Rengui's cabin and reported to him.

Xue Rengui took his eyes off the book, looked at the deputy general, sighed and said: "After all, we are all northerners, and it is normal that we can't stand the suffering of the bumps in this boat, let the brothers pay more attention to rest, and try not to get up if they can lie down, anyway, it's only two days away, just get through, by the way, how many brothers are completely fine, and they can practice on the boat?" ”

The adjutant general is obviously also very capable: "Together with the general and the last general, there are only more than 500 people, of which more than 300 people still live in Jiangnan as children, familiar with water nature and ships, and the rest of the northern soldiers are almost all vomiting and dizzy and difficult to stand. ”

Xue Rengui smiled bitterly and nodded: "It was the general's negligence, who only cared about speeding up the schedule, but he didn't expect that the brothers were not familiar with ships and water, so let's stand up." Do more according to what the Navy brothers say, you can reduce some pain, and also, prepare more digestible meals, don't eat big fish and meat, eat it is vomiting, waste! ”

The adjutant nodded: "Obey!" Then he left quickly, leaving Xue Rengui with a sad face, he was familiar with water and boats, the military academy had water and boat training, and more than a thousand men in the winter took off only a piece of dirty pants, and jumped into the river that had not yet frozen to practice water. Or a small boat carrying people on the river to fight, knocking everyone into the water, and finally the person on the boat who survives can get a full day of rest and a chance to drink.

It is said that this is a request put forward by Suning, according to the opinions put forward by Cao Cao's fiasco in the Battle of Chibi, we can't make all the northern soldiers familiar with the water, of course, there is no need for that, but at least let the elites of these military schools be familiar with the water, familiar with the warship, and having such a commander is also excellent for the soldiers under his command.

After that. Suning proposed the establishment of the Jiangnan Navy Military Office. The extensive establishment of a naval government in Jiangnan can also enhance the control power of the population and enhance the local military strength in Jiangnan, so as to prepare for the occurrence of great changes in Jiangnan. Then the whole army of Youxiao Guard, who was stationed in Xiangyang, began to learn to swim and warship. Build the right Xiaowei into the first army of the Tang Dynasty with both land and sea capabilities. In normal times, there is a special fleet responsible for river defense, and in the past few years, there have been many water thieves in the war, and they have rich experience.

The one who was originally stationed in Jinling returned to Chang'an City because of the establishment of the Yangzhou Navy. The Yangzhou Navy is responsible for the security management and naval warfare in the entire Yangzhou region, and it is also an army with both land and sea capabilities, the right Xiaowei is mainly responsible for the river defense of the Yangtze River waterway, and the Yangzhou Navy is responsible for coastal defense, which is the final plan.

The army south of the Tang River is almost complete, Meiling, Changsha, Xiangyang, Jinling three armies, as well as the Nanyang Navy galloping across the southernmost territorial sea of the Tang Dynasty, there are a total of more than 100,000 people, enough to deal with any situation, if there is really a large-scale turmoil, these hundreds of thousands of troops are enough to pacify, and there is no need for the Tang Dynasty to send the northern horse soldiers south, repeating the tragedy of the large-scale army that has occurred several times in history.

However, there are always exceptions, Xue Rengui was tragically attacked by such an exception, and the two thousand wolf-like carnivorous troops under his command were broken and sunk in the sand on this Yangtze River waterway, spitting out a large area, and those who can still persist in fighting are estimated to be less than 500 people, as for the soldiers of the Yangzhou East China Sea Navy, the number is not very large, only about 800 people, and now they can fight, but there are only 1,300 people, and there are more than 20 ships loaded with money, full of money, but the defense force is insufficient, but it is really bad!

But as long as they go to land and rest for a while, these soldiers are still like wolves and tigers, how much meat is fed? When I first started to contact water warfare, I also vomited a mess, at that time, the whole military academy of a thousand men really vomited collectively, the whole boat was full of vomit, dizzy and couldn't get up, and finally was forced to wake up, the black-faced general Niu Jinda whipped those students who couldn't stand up with a horsewhip, so that the pain overshadowed the dizziness, once or twice later, no one was dizzy and vomited, as for the training of driving a boat to fight, it was not a short-term success.

However, these soldiers have not undergone the hellish special training of the military academy students, so of course they have no experience in dealing with ships in this way, Xue Rengui can only arrange those dizzy soldiers on the largest warship, and he is also on that warship, as the flagship, that warship has the most money and the most guards, and it is the center of the entire fleet, Xue Rengui feels that even if there is any emergency, he can deal with it.

Of course, Xue Rengui must not have known that at this moment, someone was already quietly eyeing his fleet......

"Brother, where are you?"

"Chengdu people, what about you? Ay? Your accent? ”

"Ouch! I just listen to the accent like that! I'm also from Chengdu! Folks! ”

"Oops! I really didn't expect to meet fellows here! Fate! Fate! ”

"Hahaha, what a fate! Oops, this is too coincidental! Hahaha! ”

"Haha, I didn't expect it, there are so many people, why are the two of us lying together, hahaha, hey, by the way, do you know what we're here for? It's the first time I've seen so many people. ”

"What? You don't know yet? I've heard that it's going to rob a fleet, but if you're going to join us, how can you not know what to do? ”

"Oh, that, hey, I used to follow our boss to beg for a living on the waterway, robbing and robbing merchant ships and the like, a few days ago our boss took over a business, and brought us over, but when we got to this place, we broke up, and the boss didn't tell us what to do, so he dispersed, you said you did it!"

"Oh, that's it, then I'll sue you, let's go. It's to rob a fleet, this fleet is not an ordinary fleet, have you heard of Suning Su Houye? It is the Marquis of Hou Su of Sanyuan County. ”

"I've heard and heard that there were originally no imperial soldiers and horses in Xiangyang, and our brothers have been working there for many years, and there is nothing to do, but a few years ago, an army from the imperial court was stationed in Xiangyang, and the garrison was stationed, we just grabbed the gun money, and we didn't rebel, right? Begging for a living! It's not easy for anyone these days. In the past, we had a tacit understanding with the officers and soldiers of Xiangyang Mansion, and this well water did not interfere with the river water, and it was okay not to rob the official boats.

As a result, as soon as the imperial army came, all the original officials and officers and soldiers of Xiangyang Mansion were put in prison. The imperial army began to train sailors. Practiced for a while. I didn't see any movement, so the boss took us to do another ticket, and the nest was served to the officers and soldiers that night. Half of them died, half of them were caught, and there were only dozens of people left to escape, and I was one of them, so I couldn't help it, so the boss took us and fled to Jiangzhou, far away from Xiangyang.

Later, the people we sent to Xiangyang to take over the business heard that more than a dozen big boat gangs near Xiangyang were all finished, and they were all wiped out by the imperial army, and I also heard that it was the prince Su Hou Ye in the court who spoke, and the imperial army came to Xiangyang, you say, this fleet will not be Su Hou Ye's fleet, right? Ouch, that's unacceptable, aren't you also from Shuzhong? Back then, Marquis Su swept 200,000 people in Shu with 8,000 soldiers and horses, you don't know, right? How capable Su Hou Ye is to fight, robbed Su Hou Ye's ship, it's fatal! If you have money, you can't spend it! ”

"I also beat the drum in my heart about this, but the order is this, I was originally doing things in Wuling, and then I came here after receiving the order, and when I got here, I found that so many people had arrived, I heard that our head has a lot of roads, and this is an upright robbery of the official ship, isn't it a rebellion?"

"Then you're still here, not afraid of dying!"

"Afraid of what? I heard that this is an official ship for the imperial court to transport money, and it is full of money, what kind of contract did Marquis Su sign with those big people in Jiangdong to buy land, this money is to buy land, do you know how much land? Ten million acres! That's a lot of money! Sue you, brothers have thought about it, let's grab it, take advantage of the chaos after grabbing, let's run!

If you have money, who will keep it here? Ran back to my hometown in Chengdu to live, after grabbing this ticket, we won't do it, I was following that group of people to do things that is poor, want to eat, now I'm dying, don't go, several Shuzhong brothers have made an appointment with me, grab and leave, don't stay, anyway, you are also from Chengdu, let's be together! Go back to your hometown to ask for a daughter-in-law and live a life! ”

"Just by my brother's words, I did it!"

"Good brother! Deal! My name is Chen Yue, what about you? ”

"It's a deal! My name is Shen Shou! ”

It is indeed their ability that Wang Shizhen and Shi Haochen can gather more than 3,000 people in a short period of time, but this also has fatal shortcomings, there are many people, complicated, and chaotic, and in order to ensure the absolute safety of the organization, only a few core high-level personnel know the true purpose of the organization and the identity of the leader, and most of the peripheral people do not know the true purpose of the organization, so as not to leak secrets after they are caught, and when they know, it is when the organization decides to stand up and crusade against Li Shimin.

The fatal flaw of Shi Haochen's subordinates is here, and Wang Shizhen is not much better, and he can't find more people for the time being, but in order to ensure the success of this operation, Wang Shizhen sent people to contact the leaders of the boat gang who had fought with the imperial officers and soldiers in various parts of the Yangtze River and survived, gave them huge amounts of money, bribed them, and let them rob the official ships.

But as long as this operation is successful, it is enough, what you want is this success, it is Wang Shizhen who is responsible for dealing with Xue Rengui, and Shi Haochen is responsible for dealing with Suning, the two soldiers are divided into two ways, and they decided to get rid of Suning and Xue Rengui at the same time, and at the same time get the money to raise troops and get the capital to raise troops while eliminating the enemy, and then recruit soldiers and horses, and Li Shimin for the Northern Expedition!

Wang Shizhen personally went to the front line, personally commanded the battle of plundering ships, led a group of elite children of the Wang family, and led a rabble of 3,000 to prepare to take down this fleet in one fell swoop, as for Shi Haochen, he quietly besieged Suning with a thousand elites, directly killed Suning, and then the two armies met, and Xu Tu was raised.

According to Wang Shizhen's plan, Xue Rengui's fleet definitely did not expect that they would set up an ambush on the south bank, so they took advantage of the dark moon and high wind to set up an ambush at the river channel where the water flow was gentle, and when Xue Rengui's fleet appeared, these rabble would swim and climb onto the boats, and with their skilled enough climbing skills, one after another attacked those ships with superior forces, there were more than thirty of these ships, according to intelligence and analysis, about twenty of them were rich, so the defense would be tighter, and the remaining ten or so ships were probably defenseless.

And their total strength is more than 2,000 people, scattered on these more than 30 ships, in fact, it is very easy to attack, Xue Rengui's flagship is the largest ship, so Wang Shizhen ordered the elite team of the Wang family's children to be directly responsible for attacking the largest warship, and raid at night, Wang Shizhen is eighty percent sure of victory, not to mention that some of the northern soldiers he expected to be on the ship must have some vomiting and dizzy, and the combat power will inevitably be greatly reduced and even unable to fight, then Xue Rengui will be even more dangerous.
