Chapter 17: Fishing Operations

From late July, the East China Sea Invaders, who entered the Taihu Lake Basin, burned and plundered the coastal prefectures and counties until mid-August, and most of the pirate ships were loaded with looted gold, silver, jewelry, and women, and withdrew from the Taihu Lake Basin.

In the reeds on the southwest beach of Xisha Island, Lin Tie stood with his knife, his eyes staring at the river at the southern end of the island, and two loach boats came from a distance.

"Get the bait boat out!" Lin Jian waved his hand and ordered.

The guards behind him pulled the reins and turned on their horses, galloping north along a newly stepped dirt road to convey Lin Bin's orders.

After a while, a large awning boat sailed out from the mouth of the river on the west side of the southwest beach and headed for the south bank.

No pirate would snatch too much and let go of the big fish that swims in front of him, and the awning boat has a deep draft, whether it is a cargo ship or a passenger ferry, it is worth grabbing. After the two loach boats spotted the awning boat, they immediately adjusted their sails in the middle of the river and changed their course, and headed straight for the awning boat.

When the big canopy saw that the loach boat was not coming with good intentions, it naturally turned its bow and fled back. Where is the loach boat willing to easily let the fat sheep slip out of their noses? After chasing after him, he didn't stop when he saw the mouth of the river, and rushed straight in.

Generally speaking, the draft of the loach boat is shallower than that of the big awning boat, and the river channel that the large awning boat full of goods can pass through, the loach boat naturally rushes forward without hesitation, but when it is four or five miles away from the river alley and the oars and oars are struggling to move forward, they find that the bottom of the boat touches the riverbed shallowly. The pirates wanted to turn the bow of the ship and leave, only to find that five or six tall masts had appeared in the direction of the mouth of the river that had just entered, and the East Sea Kou on the loach boat dared to know that they had fallen into the trap.

The rivers of Xisha Island are all naturally formed, the rivers are shallow, and the empty Dongyang is moving very slowly in the shallow water, and the banks on both sides are dragging the big boats with more than 100 brave shirtless fibers.

Lin Bin, who moved to the boat, was not anxious, standing on the deck, watching the loach boat in front of him getting closer and closer, Fu Qinghe stood beside Lin Tie with a pale face, wearing a light armor shirt, and the long sleeve of his left arm was empty from under his elbow.

Fu Qinghe had a broken arm, many injuries on his body, excessive blood loss and was in danger, and when Wu Yanqing thought that he was powerless, Lin Jian could only take the risk of giving him a blood transfusion.

It's not that there is no blood transfusion in the world, it's just that it's unusually primitive and simple, and it even has a lot of legends.

Donghu has a record of cutting open the skin and flesh of the horse's abdomen and wrapping the injured and seriously bleeding generals into it to save life, Lin Jian speculated that this is the horse's blood pressed into the human body from the wound for blood transfusion treatment is working, which is the most primitive blood transfusion technique.

Of course, it is also a miracle that the ancestral tomb can be smoky.

Lin Lian gave Fu Qinghe a blood transfusion operation closer to the later generations, but it is not too difficult, and the easiest blood transfusion operation can be done by connecting the blood donor's artery with the injured person's vein with a clean goose feather tube.

The most important thing is that the blood type cannot be identified, and under the existing conditions, it is difficult to accurately observe whether the two blood types can be fused. But Lin Tie had no other choice, it was better than cutting open the horse's belly and wrapping people in, and Fu Qinghe was also a lucky person, so he survived.

Lin Jian was afraid that if the blood type could not be accurately identified, the blood transfusion technique would be abused and misused by the current Shilang, and only let Wu Yanqing see the process of his treatment of Fu Qinghe.

The current medical science is very inthorough in the study of human anatomy, and the understanding of blood is even more rudimentary.

With Wu Yanqing's lifelong medical experience, it is hard to imagine that a seriously injured and dying person can be treated in this way.

The medical theory of the world attaches great importance to the set of essence and blood, Lin Jian explained to Wu Yanqing the importance of blood, many serious diseases can be relieved or even cured by blood transfusion, Wu Yanqing is not difficult to understand this, but the blood circulation system in the human body is not consistent with the current medical theory, Lin Jian secretly brought a newly dead pirate corpse to Wu Yanqing to see, which can be regarded as forcibly making up for the anatomy lesson of the current medicine.

The dissection of corpses in the world was unethical, and even if the autopsy on the corpses of the enemy was akin to a harsher punishment than execution, the news spread, and Lin Jian could not escape the accusation of brutality.

Afterwards, Lin Jian still asked people to secretly dispose of the corpse; Things that change customs should be considered in the long run.

Fu Qinghe has been awake for more than ten days, and after recovering some strength, he can't lie in the camp tent to recuperate, although he can't move far, Lin Lian lured the pirate, and he came out to breathe, at this time, he accompanied Lin Lian to stand on the top deck of the Dongyang stern cabin, calmly looking at the loach boat that was getting closer and closer.

Ao Canghai shouted loudly, commanding the guards on the deck to prepare for battle.

Qin Zitan led the lake to attack the island, causing the Jiyun Wuwei who stayed on Xisha Island at that time to lose more than 50 people at one time. Afterwards, Lin Jian selected fifty brave warriors from the victims of Xisha Island to be incorporated into Jiyun Wuwei, a considerable part of the guards on this ship are new pawns, and they have not experienced several battles.

Zhao Hu led the military soldiers, and Ning Zechen led the township camp to attack the two sides of the strait, blocking the route for the shareholder Haikou to abandon the ship and escape, and wait for the Dongyang to approach and launch an attack together.

This shareholder Haikou has been circulating in the Taihu Lake valley for more than half a month, and under their strong attack, the scattered local defense forces have been defeated or completely destroyed, and they have hardly encountered a few resolute resistances. They are not very panicked at this time, first take a penny to prop out of the shallow waters, in their opinion, can only rush through the blockade of the Dongyang and "Jiyun One" two ships, they can successfully break through, pirates mostly hold knives, but there are also a few people with hook guns, shields, bows and arrows, standing on the deck with a menacing momentum, waiting to meet the side of the battle, they are facing them from three sides of the arrow feathers, close range of bed crossbow shooting is a disaster.

After Lin Jian and the other more than 100 pirates on the deck of the two loach ships were covered with bows and crossbows, they took over and sent Wu Wei to board the ship to fight, completely disappearing this group of pirates.

Ao Canghai was about to board the ship, but Lin Jian stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "You can command the ship on my behalf......"

When the war is difficult, Lin Jian even has to take the lead to boost morale and fight a new situation, but in daily battles, he can't let Ao Canghai and others continue to fight on the front line.

Lin Jian was afraid that Fu Qinghe's body would not be able to bear it, so he went back to the cabin with him to rest first, this battle could not be overturned, there was no need to keep an eye on it.

After about half an hour, the sound of fighting outside completely stopped, and Ao Canghai walked in and said, "I have caught more than 20 live people and are being interrogated; In addition to the goods and goods, there are more than 20 young women on the two ships, what should they do? ”

"After the live interrogation, send it to the Chongzhou County Ya, don't mention the temptation to annihilate the matter, only say that the pirates attacked the island; Those young women still settled down in the old way, and after asking for their addresses, they quietly sent someone to bring a letter to their families...... "Lin Jian said.

Ao Canghai nodded and went out to deal with these things.

These young women were captured by pirates and could not keep their innocence, and the world still took this matter seriously, and once it was publicized, it would simply force these women to their deaths.

However, even if they sent a letter to their families, most of them did not recognize each other. In the past six or seven days, a total of eight pirate ships have been lured and destroyed on Xisha Island, and almost every ship has captured young women. Of the twelve young women who were picked up in the first batch, only four were picked up, and the rest of the family members did not recognize each other.

Lin Jian selected some dexterous ones to send to Wu Yanqing as assistants to help take care of the seriously injured soldiers, and the other young women also stayed in the camp to do some light chores.

Fu Qinghe shook his head and smiled bitterly, he also sympathized with the fate of these young girls, and said: "Where do poor people who can't eat enough and can't get a wife care about this? Most of the Wuwei are bachelors, you might as well set a rule, how many years for you, or how much meritorious service, you are allowed to quit Jiyun Wuwei, here to help them settle down and get married, so that the Wuwei have more hope. ”

Brotherhood and even pawn wives often happen among the poor people of the world, and the poor do not particularly care about this, and these young women are indeed pitiful.

"It should be the same," Lin Jian nodded and said, "At the mouth of the Jiangning River, we can't find a place to put down roots, but we can on Xisha Island." In the future, Jiyun Wuwei will select more people from Xisha Island, and even replace the original Lin Jiayong as much as possible, and the replaced people will also stay on Xisha Island as much as possible. In this way, the roots can be rooted deeper and deeper on Xisha Island, and if the conditions are right, it is natural for them to start a family here......"

Fu Qinghe nodded, he knew that Lin Lian's thinking was very clear, the area of Xisha Island was twenty or thirty times larger than Changshan Island, and if he wanted to cultivate his own power, Xisha Island was more suitable than Changshan Island.

Xisha Island is full of newly organized displaced people, even if there was a large-scale power group, it has been completely dispersed in several catastrophes, and the more they are excluded from Chongzhou, the more closely they will gather around Lin Lian.

When ruling the world, the powerful regarded the common people as cheap as dogs; In troubled times, is there anything more solid to rely on?

What Lin Lian needs to do now is to root the deep roots on Xisha Island, so that the bloodline is closely connected with Xisha Island.

Who knows how many times such a vicious battle will be experienced in the future? If Lin Jian wants to build Jiyun Wuwei into a real elite, it will be difficult for the casualty rate to be reduced for a long time.

In the first battle of Guanyintan, Jiyun Wuwei killed 27 people, plus the seriously wounded, more than 50 people.

For the war dead, Lin Jian can only compensate their families.

Due to the limited treatment conditions in the world, it is difficult for the severely disabled to survive, and those like Fu Qinghe who can survive with a broken arm are already extremely lucky. Those who survived were almost able to return to Jiyun Wuwei to take up arms and fight after recovering from their injuries.

However, Lin Jian did not hesitate to temporarily reduce the combat power of Jiyun's armed forces, and also decided to leave the seriously injured Wuwei after arriving in Chongzhou on Xisha Island, and when they successively recovered their wounds, they were incorporated into the Xisha Island Township Camp, and in addition, the strong and brave soldiers were recruited from Xisha Island to be incorporated into Jiyun Wuwei to supplement the shortcomings.

This can not only quickly improve the training level and combat effectiveness of the Xisha Island Township Battalion, but also an important way to quickly root the roots into Xisha Island.

At this time, Ao Canghai, Zhao Hu, and Ning Zechen dealt with piracy and got on the ship together to see Lin Bin.

"This group of people are all from Mingzhou Mansion, and when they saw that the East China Sea Kou was turned upside down in Taihu Lake, and the officers and soldiers were unable to clean it up, they mixed in and fished in troubled waters," Ao Canghai said, "These dogs/mothers are even more hateful than real pirates, and there must be a lot of these people......"

Lin Jian frowned, tapped his fingers on the table to consider the problem, turned his head sideways and said to Fu Qinghe: "There are more than 1,000 people and twelve ships in the Donghai Kou who originally attacked Anji County, and it should be the Donghai Kou force directly controlled by the luxury family, but the flag has not been erected, I don't know if the Hou Shizi of Jin'an is among them?" ”

"In the ten-year war in Eastern Fujian, the extravagant flying bear will be in the forefront in the battle, which can be called both wisdom and bravery," Fu Qinghe said, "If they want to make such a big move in Taihu Lake, the extravagant flying bear will most likely not shrink on any island to fight remotely......

"Now it is clear that there are thirteen East China Sea Kou forces in the Shengsi Islands Alliance," Lin Jian thought and said, "Yuan Tingdong, the leader of the Thirteen Alliances, is naturally a subordinate of the Luxury Family, even if Yuan Tingdong is the Luxury Flying Bear himself, it will not surprise people......

Zhao Hu smiled slightly, who can know that Tan Zong, the fox of the East China Sea, is sitting here in Lin Bin?

"In addition to the shareholders of the East China Sea Harrier, I am afraid that there are other East China Sea Kou who are directly controlled by the luxury family," Fu Qinghe said, "but it will not be too much, abandoning the land and going to the sea is a new strategy adopted by the luxury family, and when the land war was tight before, the financial resources of the luxury family were also in danger, and I think there were only two or three East China Sea Kou forces under the direct control of the luxury family." In order to identify these families, as long as these forces are attacked first, the influence of the luxury family on the East China Sea Kou can be weakened, and at least the time for the luxury family to integrate the East China Sea Kou can be delayed to the greatest extent. ”

"To do this, it is not possible to rely on Xisha Island at this stage," Lin Jian said helplessly, "Even if there is enough combat power to mobilize, it will be difficult to capture the big fighter ...... when the East China Sea is retreating from the sea like a low tide."

In the later period, the Donghai Kou invaded Taihu Lake and successively poured into the Donghai Kou to plunder the prefecture of Fu County, with no less than 20,000 people and hundreds of ships. If these East China Sea Kou were all under the direct control of the luxury family, the luxury family would have opened a second front in addition to confronting Li Zhuo.

In fact, Lin Jian set up bait fishing on Xisha Island to lure away a small group of transit pirates, and also further figured out some of the internal situation of the Donghai Bandits, and the number of the thirteen Donghai Bandits who came to the Shengsi Islands to meet the alliance this time was also limited, adding up to only more than 4,000 people.

However, the ones who can lure Xisha Island to annihilate are also the peripheral East China Sea Kou forces who don't know the situation of Xisha Island, or simply this group of fishers in troubled waters, and the situation that can be taken out of their mouths is also limited; Lin Jian only preliminarily judged that the one who was really controlled by the luxury family in the early stage was likely to be the first batch of more than 1,000 elites who rushed to Anji County.

Even with more than a thousand people, Lin Jian didn't have the ability to fight with them.

What's more, the Donghai Kou was turned upside down in the Taihu Lake, and in this process, the thirteen Donghai Kou forces of the Huimeng also became more closely connected with each other, and the control of the Donghai Kou family was further strengthened.

"In the past two days, I'll go back to Jiangning to meet with Gu Wuchen and see how he handles it," Lin Jian said, "It's a matter here, let's go back to Guanyin Beach first." ”

In addition to more than 20 live mouths and rescued more than 20 young women, more than 20 live mouths will be handed over to Chongzhou County for disposal, but the two loach boats and the goods looted by the pirates from the Taihu coastal counties on board, Lin Jian naturally unceremoniously intercepted them for the construction of Xisha Island.

In the past few days, Lin Jian has used this kind of bait fishing rust warfare method to intercept eight pirate ships that have returned with full loads.

The thirteen Donghai Bandits of the Huimeng were fighting with the Ninghai Town Naval Division, and the main purpose was to attack the coastal garrisons, and the degree of looting and destruction of the local area was not as good as that of the peripheral Donghai Bandits and other fishers in troubled waters.

The eight pirate ships that Lin Tie intercepted were all loaded with plundered goods, mostly gold, silver and bronze, and even a bronze Buddha weighing more than 20,000 catties. I don't know how these scattered people loaded the bronze Buddha onto the ship, that is, the copper Buddha was melted down and the copper coin was worth more than 4,000 taels.

The wealth and goods carried by the eight pirate ships can be converted into almost eighty or ninety thousand taels of silver, which can be seen from the wealth of the four prefectures around the Taihu Lake.

The prefectures and counties along the coast of Taihu Lake suffered this catastrophe, and the casualties were not counted, and the loss of property and goods amounted to at least millions of taels of silver.

In addition to the strengthening of the power of the East China Sea pirates directly controlled by the luxury family, the luxury family provides various kinds of support to other pirates behind the scenes, and the goods plundered by these pirates will naturally flow into the hands of the luxury family through various channels such as venting consumption, buying ships, weapons, war equipment, or selling stolen goods.

The rise and fall of the other, the luxury family secretly accumulates strength, but the southeastern counties have been seriously weakened, and the plan of the luxury family to abandon the land and go to the sea is really vicious, but it is easy for the luxury family to be the hero of a place, but it is difficult to fight for the world.

If there is a choice, how many local forces in Jiangdong and Zhejiang will be willing to take refuge in luxury families?

Lin Jian returned to Guanyin Beach, and Jiang Ning brought a letter to him, saying that Gu Wuchen would go directly to Chongzhou to inspect in the next two days, and he might also have to cross the river to Pingjiang Mansion to inspect the trouble.
