Chapter 14 Water Hades

Kindness does not hold the army!

If Chu Tianxiu wanted to, in fact, he didn't even need his subordinates to do anything. He alone could strangle the water bandits on the opposite side one by one.

With his current force value, unless he is facing an elite army, and it is the kind where everyone is wearing armor and has a strong bow and crossbow in his hand, otherwise, even by himself, he can kill less than a hundred people with one blow. Large-scale water bandits and thieves were killed cleanly.

This is a first-class master in the rivers and lakes who must have confidence and ability!

But although he has this ability, he won't do it.

Training!

Only big waves can wash away the sand.

Every bloody fight is not only the wanton killing of the enemy, but also the baptism of one's own people.

Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest.

Only through the tempering of such bloody occasions can the true elite soldiers of Chu be trained, so that they can better survive in the official war in the future.

Don't say that so far, all the dead are a group of captives. Even if the dead are his elites, he will only feel distressed, not regretful. .

After a lot of killing and siege, the water thieves in Qinglongzhai who jumped on board the boat quickly lost their troops and killed more than half of them.

But when he was about to be wiped out by those water bandits, there was a whistling sound from the clipper over there, and dozens of new water bandits rushed onto the boat roaring and jumping. Come.

The newly added water bandits were nothing to fear, but what was a little frightening was that a dozen naked water bandits jumped into the river with weapons like chisels and swam towards the boat.

"No, they're going to dig a boat!" Gui Xiliang couldn't help exclaiming after seeing the actions of the water bandits.

"It's okay, Xiliang, you continue to lead your brothers to sweep these people into the sea, and I will deal with those people."

Seeing this, Chu Tianxiu's face also changed slightly. After all, if they got their hands and scuttled his ship, then the casualties on his side would probably be serious.

He hastily stretched out his right hand to grab a water bandit in front of him, and threw him viciously with him as a weapon, knocking down seven or eight water bandits in front of him. Go to the bow and jump into the big river.

In this big river, Chu Tianxiu didn't see any big movements of his body. He just kicked the water with his feet and touched the river water, but it made him swim very fast, like a flying fish.

This is because he practiced swordsmanship in the bottom of the Yangtze River all the year round, torturing his body, which made him unintentionally develop a good water quality like "white stripes in the waves". generally.

In the river, Chu Tianxiu soon saw six or seven fast swimmers swimming towards him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the long knife in his hand ran along the river. The force of the water slashed forward, and a white water flow more than ten feet long was wrapped up, and it was thrown towards those people like a long white chain.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a loud noise in the river, the mighty water, like a chain hammer swung by a giant, hit the bodies of those people, and even smashed the bones in their bodies into pieces. It was shattered one after another, and it seemed that it was dead.

In terms of the current level of martial arts, the current Chu Tianxiu can be regarded as a first-class master in the Jianghu, enough to be the leader of a gang in the Jianghu gang like the Eight Gangs and Ten Sects.

Although this level is not bad, he is far from the kind of grand master who can wield a sword aura that is more than ten feet long, or even tens of feet long.

When he was on land, he could only cut about a foot with all his saber energy.

But because he practiced swords in the river all the year round, he was completely familiar with the softness of water, things that he couldn't do on land, but in the rivers, lakes and seas, with the current as the medium, he could barely do it. that level.

In water battles, the water ghosts responsible for scuttling ships are undoubtedly the most hated.So this time Chu Tianxiu was not polite at all, and searched the sea carefully, and after killing all the water ghosts, he jumped out of the water and jumped to the enemy ship on the right side of his own merchant ship. Go on board.

"Hero! Spare me! Hurry up, you guys, throw away your weapons."

Chu Tianxiu just jumped into this boat, exerted his body for a while, and just shook off most of the river water sticking to his body. Clothed in gray trousers, with a burly body and a beard like iron, the big man suddenly knelt down on the ground in a manner that hated his hard-line appearance, and shouted loudly.

After he knelt down like this, the dozens of water bandits behind him plucked up their courage and held all kinds of weapons. With a loose hand, their weapons fell to the ground.

"Quick, quick, everyone stop! Surrender, we surrender."

The strong man knelt down to beg for mercy, lost all his face, saw that Chu Tianxiu didn't answer, and mistakenly thought that Chu Tianxiu was not satisfied, so he quickly took out a conch, blew it violently, and then raised his voice loudly shouted.

Those who know the times are Junjie!

It has to be said that the head of Qinglongzhai, that is, the big man who is very knowledgeable about current affairs, is indeed a character. Not only can he bend and stretch, he is loud and loud in flattering, and he is also very good at management.

If Chu Tianxiu, an unconventional being, didn't do it himself, otherwise he might really become famous in the future, becoming a thief king or something.

Especially when Chu Tianxiu knew that the head of the water village, "Huan Jianglong" Ge Ba, and the second head of the water village, "Sick Jianglong" Ge Liang, that is, the little boss who was killed by Chu Tianxiu casually, were brothers, but After he surrendered, when he still greeted Chu Tianxiu with a smile on his face, Chu Tianxiu judged:
"If this son does not die, he will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future."

There was a little strange episode in the middle, but overall, the operation to suppress Qinglongzhai this time was quite smooth.

After Chu Tianxiu took advantage of the opportunity to recruit the people of Qinglongzhai, he got a total of more than 400 water bandit captives. He organized these water bandit captives into groups of nine or ten, organized them into forty "shi", and appointed the 45 water bandits under his banner The Bamboo Flower Gang is called "the chief" and gets a share.

Chu Yi, Chu Wen and other nine people are all the heads of the village, and each of them leads five "shi" as the team leader. In this way, the people in Qinglongzhai are divided up and compiled as their own people.

Such a simple and rude distribution will naturally have some troubles.

But Chu Tianxiu just used this method to digest these water bandits, to prevent them from colluding in rebellion, so that he could use these water bandits to annex other water bandits in the future, and it was enough for the time being.

In addition to the number of captured water bandits, compared with the little thief caught last time, the family background of this Qinglongzhai is much stronger.

After Guixiliang sent people to carefully count the harvest, they found that the money seized this time included 120 taels of gold and more than [-] taels of silver. Other income included two large ships, nineteen small boats, and eight hundred shi of grain. Eighty bolts of silk and satin, two thousand stones of salt, and sixty women. They are really rich.

"Xiliang, take one-third of the money and go to Jiangyin, and then spread all the money to buy a few rice shops and iron shops, and build an intelligence network. Before I go to Jiangyin County, Get all the prep intel out there."

Although the capture this time can be regarded as a large amount of wealth, it will not shake Chu Tianxiu's mind, so after he checked the gains this time, he thought about how to use them and asked.

"That's fine, then I'll go to Jiangyin first to lay a solid foundation for you, and wait for you to go."

These things were all discussed when Chu Tianxiu left Yangzhou, so Gui Xiliang was not polite, and directly ordered people to pack up those things, and brought five bamboo flowers to help the crowd. The merchant ship rowed in the direction of Jiangyin, planning to go to Jiangyin County first to explore the bottom.

Don't look at Chu Tianxiu's business on the Yangtze River is in full swing, and will continue to grow bigger and stronger.However, the position of the rudder master of the Zhuhua Gang's Jiangyin County sub-rudder cannot be lost, and it still needs to be worked hard a few times to get it into the bag.

Since ancient times, bandits are most threatening only when they collude with local bullies.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that Chu Tianxiu's unprofitable business on this river will really become big in the future, so the gold, silver and jewels he looted on the river must have something to be spent and laundered.

Food and materials needed in daily life, as well as weapons and armor, horses and ships, also need a channel where they can be purchased.

……

Gui Xiliang's temporary departure was naturally a great loss to the team that Chu Tianxiu had just named "Zhen Haijun", and made Zhen Haijun's internal accounts instantly a bit chaotic.

Fortunately, Ge Ba Neng Wen Neng Wu, the leader of Qinglongzhai, quickly volunteered to take over Gui Xiliang's position, and arranged for people to sort out the problems, so that Zhen Haijun could continue to operate at a high speed and effectively.

Chu Tianxiu naturally had to "cultivate" such outstanding talents.

In the following days, he used this Ge Ba as his vanguard to temporarily lead all the water bandits under him, let him lead the team, and went all the way south along the Yangtze River, suppressing eighteen water bandits along the way, plundering The wealth of those water bandits annexed their power and "sharpened" him well.

It turned out to be a pity that this Ge Ba had the ability and heart, and he could be said to be able to bend and stretch, but his luck was really bad.

When he took the lead in laying down the seventh water village, it might as well be that that water village didn't talk about martial arts, and even shot a rain of arrows at him without saying a word, and was tied into a hedgehog on the spot.

His death caused Chu Tianxiu to directly "lose" a general. In the next few days, Xing Rong had to take over Ge Ba's post in logistics, while he himself led the troops to take the lead in continuing to annex the waters on the Yangtze River. Bandits and water bandits, strengthen the team.

Gradually, the water bandits that Chu Tianxiu strangled became more and more powerful, and his reputation on the river became more and more famous, and somehow he got the nickname of "Water Hades".
