Chapter 1534 Unimpeded Waterways

After the fall of the Chen Kingdom, the grass-headed kings from all walks of life rose up one after another.They are constantly attacking each other.

The same is true for the Shu land, and there are dozens of forces in the Shu land, which can be said to be full of mountains.

After decades of fighting, the Zhang family finally stood out and dominated Shu.After unifying Shu, the Zhang family did not have the confidence to unify the world, so they guarded the door.

The land route is easy to talk about, but Yangling Pass is a natural danger, and it is difficult for birds to cross.The waterway is a bit troublesome, after all, you can't fill a river hundreds of miles long with warships.

Therefore, the Zhang family vigorously developed the water army, so that the water army continued to patrol along the river.

Later, Zhang's civil strife gave outsiders the opportunity to go upstream from the waterway and defeat Fangzhou in one fell swoop.

After the Tang Dynasty ruled the world, the importance of the water army in Shu was reduced, and its establishment and troops were reduced by half.

Until Li Mi escaped into Shu, the first thing to do was to revive the land and water army.It's okay to say pawns, just practice.The naval army is somewhat troublesome. The training of new recruits is infinitely more complicated than that of infantry: first, they must be able to swim well, and second, they must be able to walk steadily and swiftly on a sailing warship...

Moreover, people have to wait for the warship after training.

Warships are not something you can build if you want. Even if you have the right wood, you have to wait until the wood is almost dry before you can build a ship.

Therefore, the current situation of the navy in Shu is that there are many people and few ships.

Zhang Xiu, the commander of the navy, had nothing to do with this situation, so he asked Jiang Qin to take his brothers out to practice in turn.

Jiang Qin had nothing to say, but in his opinion, this was mediocrity.It's true that the Chang'an army is here, but they don't have a boat!Could they still swim all the way to Fangzhou?

But Jiang Qin had no choice but to come in the wind and go in the rain every day.

Seeing his elder brother who became a monk at this moment, Jiang Qin was very happy, but when he saw the dozen or so people in the cabin, he felt something was wrong.

As soon as Jiang Min opened his mouth, he came to save him, which made Jiang Qin think of those lobbyists in the novel.

This……

Jiang Qin narrowed his eyes, "Brother said this, who can kill me?"

"Pseudo-emperor!"

"Pseudo-emperor?" Jiang Qin glanced inside, and the wretched man smiled at him very politely.

"Once Fangzhou is broken, what will you do?" Jiang Min asked.

"Naturally to meet the enemy." Jiang Qin said.

"You may be able to defeat the Chang'an army?"

Jiang Qin had some guesses in his mind, silently.

Jiang Min sighed: "You are sending your death for nothing, isn't it the false emperor who killed you?"

"It turns out that brother is a lobbyist for Chang'an."

Jiang Qin sneered and gave the old thief a cold look.

The old thief gave those experts on the opposite side a wink.

If there is any discrepancy, he will violently capture Jiang Qin, and then flee.

Jiang Min sighed: "Although the conditions on the Biandan Mountain are not good for my brother, that's what Fangwai people should do. When the Chang'an army broke through the Yangling Pass, my brother saw it. After breaking the pass, the army did not commit any crimes, but even helped Those poor families distributed food or repaired their houses. The local people rejoiced...Erlang, do you know how Yangling Pass was broken?"

Jiang Qin said nothing.

"It was the local mountain people who led the way to the back of the pass. Erlang, this is the destiny. Under the destiny, the situation is mighty. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish! If you are not worried about you, why did you come here?"

Jiang Qin thought of Zhang Xiu.After learning that Yangling Pass was breached, Zhang Xiu felt a little depressed, drank every day, and left everything to him.

"Can't you see the current general trend? His Majesty has unified the north and conquered the south, and the whole world is under his control. He has hundreds of thousands of troops under his command. And it is a fierce battle. How can those who have not been slaughtered in Shu be able to compete with them?" balance?"

Jiang Qin lowered his head, and Jiang Min knew that he was moved, so he said: "Brother Wei knows that you are worried about your future. When I went down the mountain, Brother Wei had the honor to meet His Majesty. It really looks like a king, and there are many talents in civil and military affairs under his command. And Your Majesty is magnanimous." Do you know Liang Jing?"

"Of course I know, the false emperor's confidant, but didn't he die in Luofengpo?"

In order to save his own face, the puppet emperor falsified things about the Liang Jing brothers and sisters.

"Bullshit!" Jiang Min couldn't help cursing: "Your Majesty is nostalgic, and sent someone to rescue their brothers and sisters. Now Liang Jing is serving under His Majesty's command. trail."

Jiang Qin was shocked.

"Understood?" Jiang Min smiled and said: "Your Majesty is magnanimous and used the false emperor's confidants, so the false emperor's confidants found a chance for His Majesty to win. What is this? Destiny! Your Majesty with such a heart, do you think , how does it compare to the false emperor in Tongcheng?"

After the false emperor entered Shu, the life of the Shu people became more and more difficult, and the taxes became higher and higher.

The lives of warriors are not easy, for example, Jiang Qin found someone watching near his house.He didn't ask, and didn't dare to ask.

The false emperor is like a hero, and if my elder brother is not lying, then the emperor of Chang'an is more like a real emperor.

Where to go?

Jiang Qin is deliberating.

"My brother is quite old and has no wife or children. Why did you come here? Could it be for the view of the shoulder pole? Isn't it just to worry about you when you come and go?"

Jiang Qin looked up and saw concern in his elder brother's eyes, and couldn't help but think of those years when he was a child.

Their parents left early, and Jiang Min led a few younger siblings to live in extreme poverty.Such a family, no woman is willing to marry.When the siblings grow up, Jiang Min is not too young, and he has to worry about their marriage, how can he have the money to marry a wife?

It wasn't until the younger brothers and sisters married wives, and those who married married, that Jiang Min had nothing to do, but he was shocked to find that his temples were already gray.

That being the case, Jiang Min didn't complain, and started to travel around the world.Many years later, thinking about returning to his roots, he became a monk in Biandan Mountain.

"Brother!"

Jiang Qin's eyes were red, "It's been hard for you these years."

"What is suffering?" Jiang Min said with a smile: "The suffering in your eyes is because you do it willingly for your brother. Isn't this person living to do something willingly? As for his wife and children, it is fate destined by heaven. And forcing, it must be a disaster. Now that I am alone as a brother, I don't know how free and easy, hahahaha!"

Jiang Qin nodded, "Brother decides everything!"

Jiang Min glanced at the warship, "Is it convenient to talk?"

"Set it down and talk about it."

"it is good!"

Immediately Jiang Qin jumped back and said loudly: "Brother, settle down first, and I will find you to drink later."

"Good talk!"

The two brothers parted ways.

Jiang Min turned around and entered the cabin.

"How?" the old thief asked.

"Fortunately not humiliated!"

Jiang Min sat down, and the boat moved immediately.

The water surface was split by the bow, and the blue waves were rippling, just like the mood of the old thief at this moment, extremely comfortable.

After landing, Jiang Qin's people took them to find a home and settle down in Nilv.

Jiang Qin went to see Zhang Xiu.

In the lobby of the Navy Officer's Office, Zhang Xiu was discussing matters with several trusted generals. Seeing Jiang Qin came back, Zhang Xiu smiled, "It's hard work."

Jiang Qin talked about the results of today's inspection, and it was still safe, and finally asked: "Yangling Pass was breached, Commander, do you want to strengthen the inspection?"

Zhang Xiu said lazily: "Could it be that Yang Ni can carry the warships of the Southern Zhou Dynasty to Shu? No need."

"Yes!"

Jiang Qin later went to Niluzhong in plain clothes.

"This is Jia Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry."

Jiang Min introduced the two sides.

"Jia Ren!" the old thief said with a smile.

This minister of the Ministry of Industry seems a little wretched.

Jiang Qin was a little unswerving in his heart, but he still sat down to discuss the follow-up with the old thief.

"I don't know how His Majesty is going to sneak in?" Jiang Qin asked.He has henchmen, but not many.Moreover, there were too many people talking, once the news leaked out, Zhang Xiu could chop him into minced meat.

"Our people will go all the way up the shore. After passing Shibatan, we need boats."

Shibatan is the most dangerous place. After passing here, the journey is not easy, but as long as you have a skilled boatman, you can reach Fangzhou all the way.

"The lower officials have good boatmen in their hands, but there are many people with mixed opinions. The lower officials are worried that those people will leak the secret." Jiang Qin said.

Chang'an's army raided along the waterway, there must be a lot of people coming, and there are also a lot of boatmen who need to be mobilized.Jiang Qin was not sure.

"There's no need for a boatman." The old thief said, "Just two or three guides, knowing the hydrological details along the way is enough."

Jiang Qin was stunned, "Then who will steer the boat?"

"As early as after the Southern Zhou Dynasty was broken, His Majesty was preparing to form a navy, so he transferred many soldiers and boatmen from the Southern Zhou navy. There are quite a few accompanying them this time."

What the old thief said was calm and calm, but it shocked Jiang Qin's heart.

It stands to reason that the past dynasties did not value the navy. After taking the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the emperor just kept the navy along the coast of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.It can be seen that the emperor actually wanted to form a larger navy.

This vision and courage made Jiang Qin stand up and said: "So, I am willing to be the pioneer!"

"it is good!"

The old thief rejoiced in his heart, "It's not too late, prepare now."

A few days later, Jiang Qin got the news that the raiders had approached Shibatan.In the name of drill, he swept away most of the navy's ships.

There is a wide water surface in front of Shiba Beach, Jiang Qin ordered the boats to berth here, except for dozens of confidantes who stayed behind, everyone went ashore and began to practice.

Sailors must also be able to kill enemies, right?
Jiang Qin ran away with the Shu land navy.

Dozens of Chang'an scouts appeared.

"It's there!"

Looking at the ships, the scouts turned back.

Behind him, there is a dark navy.

These sailors are obviously shorter than the northerners. Looking at the ships, the leading general said: "Report to Your Majesty, the waterway is unimpeded!"

Behind him, a steady stream of troops are marching in...

……

Jiang Qin ran back with the navy.

As soon as I got to the shore, I saw that the boat was full of people.

Crossbows and longbows were densely aimed at them.

Someone turned around, and thousands of people were slowly approaching.

……

"His Majesty ordered the navy to strictly inspect!"

Zhang Xiu received Tongcheng's order.

"Yes!"

After the envoy left, Zhang Xiu asked, "Where's Jiang Qin?"

"He said he was going to practice, but he didn't come back for a few days."

"Go and ask."

Jiang Qin came back before he left.

He led more than ten people into the lobby.

"Are you... who are these people?" Seeing that the dozen or so people were all unfamiliar faces, Zhang Xiu had a thought, and immediately rushed to the horizontal knife hanging on the wall.

An arrow flew over and shot Zhang Xiu to death.

Immediately, the sound of fighting came from outside.

More than half an hour later, the Shu land navy garrison fell.

"Go to Fangzhou!"

The old thief shouted vigorously.
