Chapter 702: Storm and Evil (Part 2)
The wind in the river was fierce, the water in the river was turbulent, and the huge warship was galloping along the wind, heading straight for Niuzhuji!
The garrison king of Jinling Navy was wearing armor above him and looked majestic. He held a sword across his waist and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, staring at Niuzhuji not far ahead.
Lieutenant General Zhang Chong stood behind him and asked with a worried look: "Sir... is this inappropriate? If the news leaks out, the emperor will definitely be furious, and the court will definitely pursue it to the end. I'm afraid it will be difficult for your commander to stay out of the matter."
Wang Shangfang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sighed slightly in his heart, but he said: "We are all the first-class combat force of Jinling Navy. Facing Fang Jun's fleet composed of scoundrels from various families, we will definitely be defeated." Defeat them in one fell swoop! At that time, everyone will be killed and all the warships will be burned on the spot. Who will know who did it?"
Zhang Chong remained silent.
As a military general from a humble family who was single-handedly promoted by Wang Shangfang, Zhang Chong regarded Wang Shangfang as his father and obeyed his words. He naturally understood that the officer was so desperate, just like his cousin Wang Xue'an who suffered humiliation in Chang'an, he just wanted to cling tightly to the thighs of the Jiangnan nobles, thereby improving the status of the Langya Wang family and regaining its former glory.
Zhang Chong came from a poor family, and he didn't quite understand Wang Shangfang's desperate idea to revitalize the family even at the risk of death. In his view, as long as people are alive, there is hope. If everyone dies, what will happen to the family no matter how strong it is?
But Zhang Chong also had selfish motives.
As a water master of the Tang Dynasty, who could bear to see Fang Jun being ordered by the emperor to reorganize a navy? This does not mean that the original naval forces will be left idle. They may all be disbanded one day!
How much hardship did you put in to climb from a humble family to where you are now? Even his own sister took advantage of the moonlight and was sent into Wang Shangfang's bedroom...
If one day he was laid off... Zhang Chong couldn't imagine the outcome.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Chong turned around and shouted loudly to the soldiers on the ship: "Lower the flag, take off your armor, and change your clothes!"
The news spread far and wide, and the rest of the fleet also received orders to lower the flag of the Jinling Navy, take off the armor of the regular army, and suddenly transformed from regular soldiers of the imperial court into unruly water bandits...
When the leading warship rounded Jiangxinzhou, Niuzhuji was right in front of him. The king pointed his halberd and shouted: "Everyone, make great achievements today! As long as the water bandits roaming across Chaohu Lake are wiped out, the supplies on board can be taken by the soldiers. I would like to thank you all!”
All the ships were in jubilation.
As for asking for credit...actually everyone understands. The river is no better than the land. Several boats have disappeared and hundreds of people have disappeared, and even their shadows cannot be touched. Everyone has done this kind of thing over the years. Only the supplies on the ship can be distributed freely, but they are rarely encountered! In the past, the big head had to be taken by the superiors. Only when the trenches were filled and the trenches were leveled by the superiors could they get the turn of the hard-working soldiers.
This time’s goal seems unusual, but who cares!
Wearing armor, we are the majestic navy of the Tang Dynasty; taking off our armor, we become the most ferocious water pirates on the Yangtze River!
The warship bypassed Niuzhuji on the Wuli River and entered the waterway on one side. A huge fleet appeared in front of them. When they saw the majestic five-tooth battleship, all the navy soldiers were dumbfounded.
Mother!
Sir, is this the water bandit you are talking about?
This fucking equipment is better than our navy...

The Shanyue people have always been a rebellious people, and their destructive power far outweighs their constructive ability. The production method of Shanyue is mainly agriculture. Grains are grown but not intensively cultivated. There is a lot of arable land but a lack of food and clothing. Also, because "the mountains produce copper and iron", they often "cast their own armor", but there is no smelting, and there are many iron ore mines. But I can only make a kitchen knife...
Therefore, Shanyue is "miserable" and "hungry". They are scattered in large groups and live in small groups. They like to practice martial arts and rely on mountain dangers to form armed groups. They are semi-independent of the central feudal power.
No regime can tolerate the existence of such a destructive tribe that does not obey orders. Throughout the ages, Shanyue has been the target of slaughter...
In the third year of Jiahe in the Eastern Wu Dynasty, Sun Quan worshiped Zhuge Ke as the general of Fuyue and led the governor of Danyang. Zhuge Ke transferred letters to the four neighboring counties, ordering each to protect its borders, and then divided his troops to seize the dangerous places, dividing and surrounding the mountains and rivers. Only repairing barriers, not fighting. When the grains are about to ripen, they send troops to plow them, forcing them to climb out of the mountains to survive due to hunger.
Zhuge Ke selected 40,000 of them as soldiers, and the rest moved to the plains to serve as households. After decades of brutal conquest by Sun Wu, most of the Shanyue people in the south of the Yangtze River were forced out of the mountains and moved to the plains. Some of them were used to replenish their military resources; some of them became registered households, transferred their rents and taxes, or became private tenants.
At this point, the mountain gradually subsided.
However, when the Jin Dynasty moved south, the overseas Chinese who went south occupied important positions in the court and suppressed the Wu surname in Jiangdong. However, they themselves advocated metaphysics and empty talk but did not respect practice. The government and the opposition were constantly fighting for power and internal fighting. The control over remote areas was greatly weakened. The military stronghold was in vain, and Shanyue gradually came back to life.
By the time of the chaos and chaos in the Central Plains at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Jiangnan gentry were no longer able to control the mountainous wilderness. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been several riots in Lingnan and Shanyue in Jiangdong.
This is a group of ferocious beasts!
They occupy vast fertile mountains and forests but do not engage in production. They only know how to plunder and plunder. They have survived in this mountain forest for generations, but they have no cultural inheritance of their own! It seems that he positioned himself as a parasite of the Han people. When the Central Plains are corrupted and the Han people are weak, they will rush out of the mountains like locusts to burn, kill, and plunder. If the Han people are strong, they will abandon thousands of brothers and relatives and live alone. Climbing deep into the mountains, licking my wounds, enduring hunger and waiting for this opportunity...
What was in front of Fang Jun was such a group of vampires.
In the face of the natural law of survival of the fittest, it is impossible for such a tribe to survive. Natural selection will cause the unification of the Central Plains to become the norm, and it will eventually be abandoned by time.
Either be forced to integrate into the tribe, be assimilated by other cultures, dilute one's own blood, and annihilate one's totem, or...perish in this deep mountain forest, decay with the dead trees, and turn into powder.

Fang Jun was not willing to die in the hands of such a group of barbarians!
With his calm command, the sharp arrow clusters were like a summer rainstorm, flying one after another towards the Shanyue people who were fearless in death and charging with their heads down. Countless people fell down in the miserable howl, but their bodies would be trampled by the tribesmen who came after them. Underfoot, crushed to pieces, still howling and charging.
After all, Fang Jun's team has few people and too many enemies. When the Shanyue people suppressed the fear in their hearts, the lethality of bows and arrows to them was much less, making it difficult to repel them. After all, there were too many Shanyue people! Especially the demon-like Shushuai Yamagoshi who was at the front. He swung a mace so tightly that not only did all the bows and arrows flying in front of him be knocked away, but the defense area was also shrouded in the air. A few feet away!
Fang Jun swallowed, where did this person come from?
Awesome!
Presumably the gentle and kind-hearted Lu Fengxian of Iron Halberd, who is known as "the red rabbit among horses and Lu Bu among men", is nothing more than this, right?
Under his leadership, the Shanyue people charged forward without fear of death. The fierceness of the Shanyue people who looked down at their feet and ignored the rain of arrows made Fang Jun involuntarily think of a tactic - pig attack!
Aren't the Shanyue people now just like a group of wildly charging pigs?
The bow and arrow suppression was ineffective, and the Shanyue people quickly rushed up the hillside!
Fang Jun gritted his teeth, tore off a piece of cloth from the clothes under his armor, bit one end with his teeth, and wrapped the other end around the hand holding the knife. He tightly entwined his right hand with the horizontal knife, and then struck Knot.
Behind him, Liu Renyuan and Xi Junmai followed suit. They also wrapped the horizontal sword tightly in their hands, and then guarded Fang Jun on the left and the right. Their two pairs of tiger eyes stared closely at each other, and they could see clearly. Liu Renyuan, who is from Shanyue, licked his lips and whispered: "The last general's family has guarded the northwest for generations. When he was a teenager, he followed his father and brother into the battlefield. He fought countless small battles with the Turks, but he has never seen such a stupid pig. Tactics!”
Xi Junmai stood tall and straight, raised his thick eyebrows, and said with a smile: "They are just a bunch of hungry and fainting people. They can only rely on the number of people and the continuous filling of lives to rush to us. They are simply a group of pigs waiting to be slaughtered! Brothers, kill the thief and make a contribution in the near future!”
Liu Rengui was much calmer than the three young men. He calmly directed the archers to put down their bows and arrows, hold up their horizontal swords, put up their shields, and lined up in an upright array in front of Fang Jun.
The footsteps are like thunder, the shouts are shaking, and the soldiers are fighting hand to hand!
"Boom!"
The Shanyue people rushed onto the earth beam in front of the mine, just like the rushing river hitting the rocks standing on the shore, splashing with blood!
Second update!
