I was engaged in construction in ancient times

Lu Kangtai and his group watched from the sidelines for a long time like wandering spirits, when another net of water bandits was salvaged, and several Yangzhou soldiers were busy dividing up the spoils, oh no, they were kidnapping people.

"What are you looking at? Come and help, don't let them run away."

Shan Chen and another soldier knocked out the water bandits who were trying to escape in the corner, tied them to wooden boards, and pushed them back to the boat while floating.

Lu Kangtai: This is too much. If you escape, you can't let people escape... By the way, why are you arresting so many people? ? ? ?

"Come and help!"

"Oh oh oh oh..." As soon as the cold wind blew by the river, the Xuanzhou soldiers who came back to their senses hurriedly started to move. They helped the soldiers of Yangzhou catch the water bandits, and the two carried the fainted When the water bandits boarded the boat, one handed the rope, while the other squatted on the ground and tied it three times neatly to tie a knot.

"There are still people over there, don't let them go."

"Don't waste these boats, string them together, and move them back together later, as well as the planks and their rockets."

"Someone here has woken up and is cursing."

"Gag his mouth, don't mind."

After working in full swing for a long time, Shan Chen and his team finally cleaned up all the scenes. The water bandits who were showing off their power just now were trapped in one place, and they were all thrown in the cabin. The empty cabin was filled up in a short time. The water bandits are crowded inside, just like the honeycombs hanging on the treetops, arranged in a dense manner.

Some water bandits were knocked unconscious and are still awake; some were awake and were about to yell and complain, but their mouths were mercilessly gagged.Those who didn't fall into the water, their clothes were still dry, and those who had rolled in the water, all of them could still drip water from their hair, and the sticky clothes with the fishy smell of the river stuck to their bodies, not to mention how uncomfortable they were.

Fortunately, they were crowded tightly together, sticking together, and their soaked clothes were squeezed to keep them warm.

"Has everyone been caught?"

"I ran a little, and we have already caught everything we can."

"We also sent a small team to follow up from behind."

"The ambush we set up on the shore also has a signal, and they have captured many people!!!"

"Fortunately, we have already figured out their base area, hahahaha, let them know how to write the words "annihilated!"

Lu Kangtai's jaw almost dropped: "You still have people ambush by the shore??"

Shan Chen waved his hand indifferently: "Of course, our general said that no water bandit can be let go."

The corners of Lu Kangtai's eyes twitched, thinking of the series of captured water bandits, and - he saw this group of heinous Yangzhou soldiers, and even picked up the smashed boats of the water bandits one by one, and the commander of the weapon Knives, all of them are spared.

He found that this group of Yangzhou soldiers were no strangers to doing these things, and they would not let go of anything valuable—even if it was a piece of broken wood.

Even the damaged gourd has to be touched back.

Feel for the wine jar on the water bandit boat.

The oil on the water bandit's boat was dragged back.

Pick up the copper coins on the water bandit boat...

Why do these acts look so like bandits who entered the village to rob? ——Although what they robbed were water bandits.

Lu Kangtai's eyelids twitched, I must have entered a den of thieves, he lingered for a moment on the faces of the familiar Xuanzhou soldiers around him, and found that all of them had their thoughts written on their faces, and the thoughts were obviously I thought of going with him.

Shan Chen clapped his hands, and the people beside him roughly counted the number of people, "Brother Shan, that's great, we arrested hundreds of people tonight!"

"Wow, wow, we've got a lot of rewards. It's really worthy of setting up such a game. Sure enough, the rich bait will catch big fish."

"Hey, speaking of fishing, brothers, keep casting your nets, light your lanterns, and let's go fishing while we go back."

"Go back and have a whole fish feast to celebrate."

"Cast the net and cast the net, watch me catch a hundred catties of fish for you."

"Brother Aniu's grilled fish is the best."

"The fish made by Mrs. Li is delicious, and it has to be paired with Mrs. Liu's sauce!"

"When we escort these water bandits back, let's go to the pier and have a meal together."

Just when Lu Kangtai suspected that these Yangzhou soldiers were actually water bandits in disguise, they actually started fishing with their nets! ! ! ! !Fishing! ! !That gesture has a shape! !When a net is cast down, the strength of his hands can be seen as Lian Jiazi, "There are a lot of fish over there, let's cast it over there." "Don't worry, my buddy is a professional fisherman." Professional fisherman? ?Are you not water bandits? ? ? ! !Oh wrong, aren't you sailors? ? ?

Catch the fish and grill it directly on the boat...

Lu Kangtai: "..."

"Lord Lu, look, they are really good at fishing. My family is also from fishing, so I'm not as strong as him."

"Look at how much they've made."

"Their lanterns are special and will attract fish!!"

"Lord Lu, should we also go fishing with the net?"

Lu Kangtai shuddered and knocked over: "What kind of fish are you catching!! We are here to eliminate water bandits."

The soldier who was knocked on the head hugged his head and thought to himself: We have been blowing cold wind at the bow for a long time.

"Look, they've started grilling the fish, it smells so good."

"I heard from a business friend of mine that Yangzhou people are especially good at cooking fish."

"Should we go fishing too? The smell makes me hungry."

"But we don't have fishing nets, and we're not fishing boats."

"Yeah, we don't have fishing nets!!??? Why do they have?"

Shan Chen has already set up a stove to grill the fish. The charcoal fire is red, brush with a layer of oil, sizzling, and then sprinkle with honey sauce. If you like chili, brush a layer of chili, some of which have a strong fishy smell , crushed a small lemon and poured lemon juice.

The smell of grilled fish was blowing around with the wind of the river, spreading to the cabin, waking up all the water bandits who were knocked out.

"What is it? It smells so good."

"hungry."

Open another jar of wine, and each person drinks a small cup to warm up their bodies, and the aroma of wine and fish will permeate the air.

"Please, don't knock me out, let me take a bite too."

"I, I, I want to eat fish too!!!"

Want to eat fish?Of course there is no way, the poor water bandits were gagged and kept locked in the cabin, hungry and smelling the smell of fish outside, this was the first "torture" they received.

The Xuanzhou soldiers over there couldn't bear it any longer. Lu Kangtai led people up the ladder to beg for fish. After all, he was still a revolutionary comrade in arms. spicy?"

"What is spicy?"

"What is not spicy?"

"You'll know once you eat this."

"Wow, fucking, that's exciting."

"Spicy or non-spicy?"

"spicy!"

Shan Chen and his group usually catch and grill fish by themselves after training by the water, and they all have a good skill in grilling fish. There are countless strings, and it doesn't hurt to distribute some to Xuanzhou soldiers.

The water bandits inside were very hungry.

The two groups of soldiers outside mingled together drinking and eating fish, shoulder to shoulder, and the relationship was much closer than before, and the original gap seemed to be eliminated. Lu Kangtai drank a glass of wine, hooked up with Shan Chen's small shoulders, and praised: " You can really do it, these water bandits were paid off in one go, we are useless, wow, your ship is really exquisitely designed."

Shan Chen smiled sincerely, he didn't drink alcohol: "It's all well-trained generals."

"You must train every day on weekdays."

"Your general, I heard that he fought very well in the north. He never lost a battle. I didn't expect him to be so good in water warfare."

"Of course, our general is amazing."

……

The two chatted for a while, and Lu Kangtai wondered: "I see that most of you only arrest people and don't kill people. What are you doing after arresting so many water bandits? It's good to arrest them, but you can arrest them and raise them, and waste food." !"

This is one of the difficulties they have in catching water bandits. Many of these water bandits were disguised as Yuanzhou officers and soldiers. Go around once, what's more, even cried and said, "We were forced by the coach, and there is nothing we can do. For the sake of everyone being officers and soldiers, let's go around us once."

After a lesson, put it back and continue to work next time. Don’t let it go back. They are really difficult to deal with in Xuanzhou. Men who weigh a hundred catties in strips have to eat food for three meals a day, and they are sent to prison. It's not easy to feed at the beginning of the year.

They caught them back and made them responsible, how did they deal with it? ? ?

Shan Chen blinked, laughed loudly and said, "Of course it will be useful to catch those alive. The general told us to catch as many alive as possible, the more the better."

This year, Yangzhou has a bumper harvest of sweet potatoes, so much that they have to feed the pigs. The pigs may not be able to eat them all. Divide some of the rations for the pigs. This is free labor without wages.

Before they set off, many more military training camps and small black houses were built around Yangzhou, preparing for them to "arrest people" and go back.

Lu Kangtai was extremely curious: "What's the use? How much food does it cost to raise so many people for nothing?"

Shan Chen waved his hand, "It's not wasted at all."

"At present, Yangzhou has a large area and few people, so we need people to open up wasteland, farm and raise pigs, and take them back. When the time comes, they will eat whatever the pigs eat."

What do pigs eat?What do they eat?

Lu Kangtai: "..."

For a moment, he didn't know whether to pity the pigs or those water bandits.

Shan Chen: "Brother Lu, help us arrest people together!"

Lu Kangtai: "Okay, okay."

Since then, the water bandits in the Thirteenth Waterway have suffered a lot. Two groups of people from different places seem to be targeting them. People wanted to find a place, but they couldn't beat them, and lost a lot of manpower.

Water bandits: "Ah, this group of people are more like water bandits than us, and there are endless tricks of thieves and cheap tricks."

"You son of a bitch, that's too nasty! You have the ability to fight me head-on!"

"Swimming in the water is like a silly dog. When I pass by, his mother will be as slippery as a fish."

"Dive into the water and put a rope on my feet. My uncle asks you, do your feet stink?"

"Damn it, what kind of soldiers are this group of people? Come on! Be water bandits with us! Bastards!"

Yangzhou soldiers have a fine tradition. They have a special passion for acting. At the beginning, they played the poor little merchants very well. They pretended to be old men, men disguised as women... only you can't think of it, and they can't act without them. Until the water The bandits appeared, and they had to perform for a while before showing their fangs, making the water bandits so angry that their stomachs hurt.

What made the group of water bandits panic even more was that they not only arrested people on the water, but also ambushed them on the land bank. If they were not careful, they were even covered in sacks by people hiding by the roadside.

There is no limit to insidiousness.

The merchant ships passing by were happy, knowing that there were people protecting them recently, and the water bandits in the surrounding area were about to disappear, and they didn't dare to come out to make trouble.

The soldiers from Xuanzhou and the soldiers from Yangzhou worked closely together, and had a great time together, and the boys from Xuanzhou also felt the joy of being caught by the yin.

Xuanzhou Bing: "Why do I feel like I'm collaborating with water bandits..."

"I feel like we're stealing people."

"It's not just about stealing people, we are obviously robbing people, hahaha."

"Let's grab a few more people, and go drink and grill fish with the brothers in Yangzhou later!"

"I made an appointment to go to their Yangzhou pier to play."

After the coalition soldiers had finished catching people, they sent batches of water bandits back to Yangzhou.

Brother Song and the others among the water bandits had nothing to fear when they were escorted to Yangzhou. They were originally officers and soldiers of Yuanzhou, and their boss was the wife and brother of the prefect of Yuanzhou. It will definitely be redeemed.

Unexpectedly, they were arrested and returned to Yangzhou. That was not the case at all. The Yangzhou soldiers did not interrogate them, and directly concluded: "This group of people are all captured water bandits, and they have done a lot of evil."

"Regardless of the water bandits and drought bandits, they must be reformed through labor honestly and atone for their sins!"

"Hey, these evildoers deserve it!"

"The general suppressed the bandits, well done!"

The people of Xinyang City lined the road to welcome them, but they were not the "water bandits" who welcomed them, but the soldiers who came back. Everyone in Xinyang City hated these bandits who got something for nothing, no matter how many they caught, they felt refreshed.

"Put them in the military training camp and educate them well!"

Brother Song's and his gang's good times are coming to an end. They used to eat and drink hot food under Hao Xingfan's hands. After making a big deal, they handed in part of it, and they could make a lot of personal gain from it. However, they didn't know until they came to Yangzhou. How to write the word "bitter".

General Duan Shubai asked them to work for atonement.

Digging stones, chopping trees, moving bricks and building temples... endless work is waiting for them to do. It is said that farming is still good, and some have to wait for wild boars every day, or go to the salty sea to carry coconuts... They don't want to be lazy No, patrol soldiers with wolf dogs guarded them. These patrol soldiers did not urge them to work, and they were lazy and did not beat others. Seeing this, Brother Song and the gangsters did tricks to steal and play tricks.

Overseer Ma Xiaoliu crossed his arms: Let's wait and see.

The water bandits thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, but——

As a result, I couldn't sleep if I couldn't finish the day's work!The rotating soldiers have been guarding them and spending time with them. If you can't finish today's work, you can continue tomorrow. The work will be accumulated until tomorrow. If you can't finish tomorrow, you will continue to add up. Bo went to the small black house on the mountain to bind and release the animals.

Locked in a small dark room with no sun, hands and feet tied, he can only crawl like a dog to eat and drink water, with feces and urine on his body. This kind of life without dignity and sunshine is unbearable even for an iron-clad man.

"I can't take it, I can't take it, I have to work."

"I'm going to work too, and I'm going to sleep."

"Damn, I want to send a letter to my brother, telling him not to work with Mr. Hao, and stop being a soldier. Go back and work hard, God—"

"what happened?"

"I saw my younger brother, and it's all my fault that I lost my conscience and dragged my younger brother into this thief boat."

……

Batches of labor were brought in—this group of labor is not ordinary labor, it is equivalent to free soldiers picked up for nothing, Duan Shubai watched this group of people come to rub their hands, he happened to be in Yangzhou to lead In order to prevent this group of people from rioting, they should not be piled up together, and all sent to other places in batches to open up wasteland, and some were sent to the seaside to open up wasteland.

Duan Shubai patted Shan Chen on the shoulder, "Shan Chen, you did a great job, even better than I imagined."

Shan Chen bowed and saluted: "Thank you General for your compliment."

"How are you getting along with Xuanzhou soldiers?"

"Get along very well, everyone is familiar with each other."

Soldiers from Xuanzhou and Yangzhou mingled together every day to discuss how to intimidate the water bandits, and after intimidating them, they drank and ate fish together.

"Come to Yangzhou to play in a few days, and I'll give you some passion fruit wine."

"Come to our Xuanzhou as a guest. My family runs a cloth shop. I will give you a few pieces of silk to please the girl in the future hahaha."

"I found out that you Yangzhou are so nice, you can go to school to read and read for free???!!! I also want to send my child to your school."

"Your house is so beautifully built, and there are so many flowers along the road."

"We have a lot of delicious food here, and there are many fruit trees planted by the roadside. Look at these dates, you can pick them and eat them as you like."

"Have you ever drank coconut juice? Come, grab one and take you to Xinyang City."

"Coconut Cheese Dessert, buddy, take a few back for my sister-in-law to try..."

The Yangzhou soldiers tried their best to tell the Xuanzhou soldiers how good we are, with smooth concrete roads, bicycles with two wheels running around, and fruit trees everywhere, and more importantly—their schools are getting better and better. The bigger it is, the more everyone can go in and study for free, and Mr. Shi, a celebrity, sits in the school.

They also have a huge printing factory, and there is a reading room in the school, where residents of Xinyang City can read books for free.

Every seventeenth or reading day, there are hundreds of pens, inks, papers and inkstones that can be received for free.

These two groups of people were able to get along like ducks in water in Xuanyang and Yangzhou respectively. Some of the powerful Yangzhou soldiers even hooked up with and seduced several young girls in Xuanzhou, and several good couples became good friends in a short time.

It just so happened that at this moment, Feng Tingting and Liang Lei set a wedding date and got married.
