1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 54 Yazhou City ([-])

When Luo Shengdong came out of Baihutang, he felt relaxed, as if his life's bad luck had probably come to an end, and everything he did these days went smoothly, and his state couldn't be better.This time, he not only successfully concealed the fact that he was defeated and captured in Yulin, but also made great contributions by using this to find a very reasonable excuse for losing the ship and his subordinates.Not only did he please his boss He Wenhui, he won a chance to be promoted to the general manager, but also paved the way for the Haihan people to appear in Yazhou with reasonable and legal identities. Never thought of that.Thinking about it now, it seems that the previous 20 days of hard labor were not so sad.

"I'm so witty!" Luo Shengdong expressed his heartfelt appreciation for his adaptability.

When Luo Shengdong walked to the school grounds with five personal soldiers, he saw Wei Sanzhu tied the two deserters outside the Yuanmen to behead them.When the two saw Luo Shengdong, they couldn't help crying out for mercy.If this period of time had not happened, Luo Shengdong might have felt sympathy and begged for mercy for the two deserters, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger, either you are dead or I am dead, even if Wei Sanzhu doesn't do anything, Luo Shengdong will also. These two will never be spared.Of course, when things have evolved to this stage, even if no one does anything, He Wenhui will not let these two people live again - this is a great achievement, how can they continue to talk nonsense?

Luo Shengdong stopped, pointed at the two people and said, "You have seen it clearly, this is the end of the talk!" The five confidants around him understood that Luo Shengdong's words were told to them. They did not dare.

The military judge brought the two executioners to the kneeling two men and read out their charges aloud: "The fourth of the military law, complaining more, angering its commander, disobeying restraint, and even more difficult to control, this is called building an army, The offender will be killed! The eighth of the military law, the tongue is sharp, the right and wrong are wrong, the sergeant is dispatched, and they are not in harmony. This is called slandering the army, and the offender will be killed! The military law is the fifteenth. Injured and suspended animation, thus escaping, this is called a deceitful army, and the perpetrator will be executed! Several crimes will be punished together, and the sentence will be executed!"

A soldier next to them came up to untie the buns on the heads of the two men, and then pulled their hair to make the heads of the two men stick to the guillotine of the large wooden pier in front of them, preventing them from continuing to struggle, and at the same time exposing their necks to facilitate the executioner's knife.

The two executioners stepped forward to make a slight gesture of the neck with their knives, and then raised their ghost-headed knives and chopped them down. Two pillars of blood rushed their heads out far away.Luo Shengdong let out a sigh of relief. Once these two deserters who knew the inside story died, at least in a short period of time, no one would be able to threaten their safety.

In addition to dealing with these two deserters, Luo Shengdong did not forget to give credit to the fifteen unlucky ghosts who died in battle under his command, so that the families of these people could get some pensions.As for the more than 30 people who were still in the crossing camp, Luo Shengdong could only wait until he had the opportunity to arrange the transfer of hard labor, and then proposed to the crossing crowd to exchange those people with several times the number of hard labor population.With the previous examples of successful cooperation, Luo Shengdong believes that when the time comes to propose a replacement plan, there will be no major obstacles.

That night, Luo Shengdong got drunk with a group of familiar sergeants to celebrate his escape and meritorious service.Early the next morning, Luo Shengdong took a few of his men to the pier to drive a sentry boat, and quietly drove out of the Yazhou Water Village.Before coming back from this trip, Luo Shengdong had paid Tao Donglai a ticket, and he would definitely try to bring the people who crossed the crowd into Yazhou City.Yesterday, Luo Shengdong had obtained permission from He Wenhui to arrange for Haihan envoys from across the sea to travel to Yazhou City, in order to see the great power of my future.

Of course, Luo Shengdong would not rest assured to let others do this reception work, and the consequences of angering these Haihan people, he has seen and experienced with his own eyes.Moreover, Luo Shengdong faintly felt that the benefits he could get from the Haihan people were far more than what he saw in front of him.These Haihan people had such momentum when they first arrived. With time, Luo Shengdong silently had a sense of expectation.

The action team set up camp on the seaside sandbar outside Nanshan Town last night. This place is less than ten miles south of Yazhou, and the population density is also greater than that of the places the action team visited yesterday. It is not far from the sea.However, Luo Shengdong had warned them yesterday, so the action team did not rashly contact the locals, so as not to attract people from the inspection department.

As soon as Luo Shengdong's sentry boat left the mouth of the Ningyuan River, Tom Wang, who was on duty on duty, found him through the telescope: "There is a small boat from the north... Luo Shengdong is on the boat."

Yan Chujie, who was helping others to distribute breakfast, put down his work after hearing this, went to Wang Tom's side and picked up the binoculars to look around for a while, then nodded and said, "Since he can come out of the water village today, it means that It should have passed."

Sure enough, Luo Shengdong looked proud when he set foot on the "Speedy": "I have seen you all! After returning to the water village next day, I will act according to the pre-determined plan, and with the first-class weapons as proof, no one has any evidence of this. Doubt. At this time, the battle report of General He Can of Shuizhai is on his way to Qiongzhou City, and there will be a reward in a few days."

"Has our identity problem been solved?" Yan Chujie didn't care much about Luo Shengdong's personal future. He was eager to know whether Luo Shengdong, as they had requested beforehand, was able to secure a reasonable and legal place for the Transcendents. Conditions for entering Yazhou City.

"I will do my best to do what I promise to Chief Tao. Don't worry, everyone, Yazhou Water Village has recognized your identities, and today I will accompany you to Yazhou City for a walk." Luo Although Shengdong's tone was humble, he still exuded a sense of pride that could not be concealed.

Yazhou City is located about five miles east of Yazhou Shuizhai, in the upper reaches of Ningyuan River. However, the appearance of the "Speedy" is too eye-catching, so the action team did not plan to sail upstream from Ningyuan River.In addition, the Yazhou Water Village is located at the mouth of the Ningyuan River. If there is an unexpected situation, the "Flying Speed" will easily be blocked in the upper reaches of the river and cannot get out. From the perspective of safety, it is safer to go to Yazhou by land.

Yan Chujie left foreigner Morgan and several members of the military and police department on the boat to be responsible for guarding. In addition, although the female reporter Luo Wudan objected, she was eventually left behind because everyone in the group thought that she would take such a girl to the cliff. The state is really a bit risky, and no one can guarantee that Luo Wudan, who is naturally jumping off, will cause some trouble in Yazhou city.Considering that the firearms of these people in the military and police department are too conspicuous, they are all set up with canvas guns before departure, so that there will be no trouble on their backs.

Now that the action team decided to go overland, Luo Shengdong was happy. He left a person to watch the boat, and took a few other men to abandon the boat and landed, and walked to Yazhou with the action team.Fortunately, Yazhou is only a few miles away, and it takes more than an hour to walk slowly.

This team consisted of officers and soldiers from Shuizhai Village, as well as overseas people in fancy clothes, and they attracted a lot of onlookers along the way.On the way, he also met the people of the Nanshan Inspection Department. Luo Shengdong took this opportunity to convey the origin of the Haihan people and the meaning of General He Cang of the Shuizhai, so that they could openly conduct activities in these places in the future.

Yazhou was only an earthen city before the Song Dynasty. It was gradually rebuilt into a masonry city wall during the Southern Song Dynasty from the end of the 400th century to the beginning of the [-]th century. By then, after [-] years of reconstruction and expansion, it had become a large-scale city in Hainan Island. A fortified city.

The north of Yazhou City is adjacent to the Ningyuan River. There are three gates in the east, west and south. The action team traveled from south to north. The city gate that they arrived at is the only south gate civilization gate that has been completely preserved to later generations.The city wall of Yazhou City is more than two feet high, and there is a Qiaolou above the ochre-red arched city gate, with a plaque "Civilization Building" on it.There are clear crenels on the city wall, soldiers patrolling back and forth on the city wall, and there are also sentries standing on both sides of the city gate to check the people who enter the city.

With the presence of Luo Shengdong, a high-level leading party, the action team did not encounter any trouble when they entered the city.Although the Shuizhai Frontier Army and the guards stationed in Yazhou City are under different rule, but Luo Shengdong is a hundred generals after all, and he has the warrant of the Shuizhai General He Can, naturally no one dares to stop this team, just The soldiers on duty at the gate of the city inevitably looked at them a few more times.

As soon as they entered the city gate, someone found something incredible, pointed to the building behind the stone archway and said, "Look at it, this is the Confucian Temple!" Immediately, someone took out a camera and shot it there. up.

Luo Shengdong heard the words and said, these Haihan people are still literate people, they noticed the Confucius Temple before they entered the city, and it seemed that the power of Confucius was strong enough.Luo Shengdong was very familiar with the things in and outside the city of Yazhou, and immediately changed to the tour guide mode: "Everyone, this is the Yacheng Academy, which was built in the Northern Song Dynasty. There are statues of Confucius and four companions, ten The tablet of the two philosophers, if you are interested, you can go in and visit."

Luo Shengdong thought that the surprise of these people was out of respect for Confucius, but he didn't know that these people were purely tourist mentality, and they just treated this place as a cultural landscape.As for entering to pay homage to the sages, these people are even more uninterested. To put it more seriously, few of the action team even know who Luo Shengdong refers to as the "Four Matches and Twelve Philosophers".

Among these people in the action team, the Military and Police Department is concerned about the deployment of Yazhou, and in their minds, they are making military plans to attack Yazhou with arms.People in the industrial and agricultural sectors figured out what to buy and what to sell in this place.The big profiteer Schneider wanted to rush to see the shops in the city, earning money was what he was most interested in.The remaining leading party father and son Yu Dashan and Yu Xiaobao are illiterate at all, let alone worship the "Confucian Temple".Only Li Ren Fu Li, who did not know the reason, became excited when he saw the crowd shouting across the crowd. If Yu Xiaobao hadn’t grabbed him quickly, this child who came to Yazhou City for the first time would probably have to be alone. Went in for a stroll.
