[Comprehensive] The five elements are short of money

Iron Blood, as the guard leader, has not lost his vigor, unlike the Golden Beast, who wants to repel the invading enemy without a single soldier.Tie Xue silently drew out the long knife at his waist, his knife was already clamoring to drink blood.

For the first time, this is the first time they are going head-to-head with the enemy.

In this time and space, Daqing inherited the Southern Song Dynasty. The Southern Song Dynasty was not defeated by the Mongolian cavalry, but died in the hands of the Han people.So without the famous naval battle of "There will be no China after Yashan", naval battles have always been an accessory to land wars.If it weren't for the purpose of deterring the subordinate countries, there would basically be no so-called navy or navy.

Even if Xue Xun knew about the famous naval battle, it was useless. He didn't know how to command, and he had only heard the name of the famous battle, so it was impossible for him to tell the details.What Xue Xun can do is to firmly believe that they can win, because there are "precedents". As a soul figure, as long as he has a firm belief, it is enough to make his subordinates full of confidence.

Tie Xue led people out of the city, Xue Xun called a meeting of his staff, besides the few who had been following him from home, there were also Cixi natives Cao Yanhua and Wei Jiang sitting here.These two are Juren, who are quite prestigious in this county. Jiangsu and Zhejiang have a strong style of writing. In many wealthy places, the first thing they do after they get rich is to support scholars. Therefore, there are three Jinshi in a small county in Cixi. Unfortunately, the biggest That was the county magistrate, who took the lead and ran away, and then he became the head of the family.

Before the arrival of Xue Xun and others, the county government office was vacant, and several big households who did not want to leave the city called representatives of the villages and towns to negotiate and deal with it. Civil cases such as residents' disputes did not need to come forward in the government office. Can help to break it.If it weren't for the swarming of broken soldiers, the county government would be vacant for three to five years and the people would be able to govern themselves.Of course, then again, the army was not defeated, and the county magistrate would not be scared away.

"There is a defeated army coming outside the city, and the battle is only for a moment. The Marquis hesitates, should I tell the people?" With outsiders around, Xue Xun also pretended to be a serious Marquis.

Cao Yanhua and Wei Jiang thought that they were asking them this question, and the one who told them or not was only an order from Master Xue, so why discuss it?Cao Yanhua is the older of the two, and he has always been the leader.Seeing that the others were silent, Cao Yanhua felt ashamed as a latecomer to ask for "old seniority", so the room was suddenly silent.

This is why Xue Xun called them here. They have only known each other for a few days, and there is no tacit understanding in getting along with each other. If they don't break things up and talk about them, misunderstandings will easily occur.

Xue Xun was very afraid that the local people's attitude towards them would be the same as towards the defeated army. Anyway, they would occupy the county town and seize their living resources. Who would occupy it or not?

"The enemy army is right under the city. You should notify the people for defense." Mr. Niu said: "Since the defeated army is defeated, there must be no food, grass and luggage to accompany it. Cixi is well-known for its wealth. If the city is destroyed, it will naturally be burned, killed, and looted. Replenish food and grass. In this regard, there is no difference between the defeated army and Qianxiang's enemy army."

"Yes, the soldiers are all young and strong men, and there are so many women and children in the city. Once the city is destroyed, the women's lives will be lost." Of course, this is a euphemism. In fact, soldiers often rob women to vent their desires. At this time, women Just one type of property.

"You gentlemen's assumptions are too simple. The old man in the family said that the sea battle a hundred years ago, the hungry and crazy people have no conscience, and the women who rob money and food are second. If you really want to break the city, the murder of a village and a town is pretending to be 'rice meat. ', man, you will go crazy if you are very hungry." Cao Yanhua stroked his beard and sighed.Cannibalism, cannibalism, this terrible scene of hell not only happened when foreign races were at war with the Central Plains, not only during the famine era.

Cao Yanhua didn't lie. When Xue Xun and others arrived, they were ready to fight to the death, because they didn't want to reduce themselves to rations.Unexpectedly, good people from heaven not only did not kill them to rob them of money, but also distributed some food and items. Although there were few things, it was still a decent order of the imperial court.

"Mr. Cao is clear and righteous, but I'm afraid the people in the city don't think so." Xue Xun sighed.

"Students are willing to preach policies for adults, and people are no grass. They have feelings for whoever treats them well." Wei Jiang clasped his fists and said. He is younger and does not reject such things as the preaching platform. Instead, he wants to go up with great interest. Tell me once.

"That's great!" Xue clapped his hands and laughed, "Mr. Cao and Mr. Niu will lead the lecture together, and Mr. Wei will be the vanguard of the lecture group, okay?"

The three people who were called all smiled and got up and clasped their fists.

"Then hurry up and prepare, this matter should be done sooner rather than later." Xue Xun ordered.

After waiting for the three to leave, Xue Xun said: "You can't rely on the people in the city, how many people did you take with you when Iron Blood left?"

"There were already 500 people left on board, and Tie Xue took another 500 people and handed them over to Qi as a preparation. There were 500 people who were scattered in various cities, and there are still 200 people in the city. The rest will defend the master and wife. , as well as Yinshuang's spies and many logistics personnel." Golden Beast Bala cleared up with his fingers, as the chief logistics manager, he cleared up these people.

"Master, there are too few people, we still need to properly recruit local talents." Yinshuang persuaded.

"Are they willing?" Xue Xun asked back. Conscription has been difficult since ancient times.

"Master, I forgot. You are an official of the imperial court. Conscription and corvée are the right thing to do. What's more, if the people are aware of the enemy, they will not dare to stand by." Mr. Ma said with a smile.

A word that awakened the dreamer, Xue Xun himself was a counterfeit, so he didn't care about his job as an official. Yes, he is a county magistrate, and he should have organized manpower to resist the invasion.It has nothing to do with whether he is new to office or not. People no longer only recognize the court's signboard.Xue Xun wanted to understand, and his heart relaxed, as expected, there is no unparalleled road.

"Organize the young and middle-aged people in the city to watch on the city wall in batches, so that they can feel what war is. When they are almost used to it, they will be dispersed and incorporated into the guard team. This is to defend their hometown, and they will all want to contribute. Let the publicity The people step up." Young people are full of vigor and heroism, especially men are more passionate. When they see the scene of war on the top of the city, the violence factor in their hearts will increase.When the time comes to guide them properly, they will be able to go to the battlefield screaming.The role of propaganda Xue Xun has learned in his previous life, or it can be called belief.

I hope that after this experience, his escort team can become an "army".

Xue Xun looked out the window and meditated. At this time, the tidal flat outside the city was still the calm before the storm.

Cixi faces the sea, and there are large tidal flats. The coastline stretches for several miles. There are no tall mountains to cover it, and there are no straits and bays. Looking around, there is nowhere to hide people.The boat under Xue Xun's name had already sailed far away, hidden behind a cliff covered with rocks, and the rest of the boats couldn't be hidden, just laid carelessly by the river.

Xue Xun could get the news earlier that someone was coming, and the defeated army would not fail to see these obvious ships.

The defeated general who led a 500-man brigade here this time was called Shi Dingsong. With his clairvoyance, he saw several large ships docked on the shore, and there were countless small boats guarding them. It was very strange that there were no people or flags on board. Pass clairvoyance to the deputy.

After the deputy had seen it, he asked, "It's very strange, do you think there are no people on those ships? Or is it just a trick to lure the enemy?"

"I can't see it, it's better to be closer."

Shi Dingsong pondered for a while, not daring to approach, fearing that it was a trap, they only had 500 people, and three fast boats, the fast boats were not equipped with artillery, and the big ship surrounded by the small boats did not look like an ordinary cargo ship, so he dared not take risks.

The deputy suggested: "If it's a trap, you'll know if you try it. Why don't you send a fast boat over there first, and let the arrows fly for a round to see."

"Okay, be careful." At this time, the two sides are clearly facing each other on the water, but there is a strange calmness for no reason, no one shouts loudly, one side of the boat is quietly docked on the shore, there is no one, and the other side is cautiously approaching. , silently.The two sides are like ghost ships confronting each other, everything is quiet.

Shi Dingsong sent a fast boat to sail carefully to the range of the bow and arrow, and the bow was just a round of flying shots.The arrows were intentionally spread out, and basically every ship on the periphery was shot through. The arrows shot directly to the floor and penetrated the formwork into the cabin. There was no noise, only the arrows nailed into the wood The sound of "Duo Duo Duo".

The tempters didn't think it was enough, so they lit the rocket and shot it at the boat closest to them, and the boat started to burn slowly. Thanks to the distance when the boat stopped, otherwise the fire would not burn the boats that were close together. .

After shooting a round with no response, the clipper immediately turned around and told Shi Dingsong: "General, it really is an empty ship. I have tried everything, and the arrows penetrated into the cabin, and there was no response from one that was on fire. It's in town."

"Okay, get to the shore quickly and prepare to land!" Shi Dingsong smiled, and he said that it is impossible for a small county to have anyone proficient in water warfare. He was too careful before.

"These people are as cowardly as mice, so we took over the ship. Go, scuttle the burning ship, and take the rest for yourself." Shi Dingsong said excitedly, these ships are all his spoils of war.Judging by the opponent's posture of abandoning the ship and defending the city, one knows that attacking the city will not be easy.They are all naval forces, and they don't have much experience in siege, but with these ships, even if they don't find food, it's not in vain.

At this time, the burning ship was not empty.A small group of people hid in the bottom cabin, and the person in charge of security whispered: "Boss, the deck is on fire, what should we do?"

"Keep your voice down, don't panic, and wait a little longer. If it doesn't work, just open the water inlet panel of the bottom cabin and let the boat sink. Just follow the plan as the commander told you before you came." The captain said softly.
