Six hundred and twentieth chapters southbound (twenty-three)
Xie Yi led his troops to search for Xu Le and his party. At the same time, Xie Yongzhi sent a group of troops to the Wuya Warship to strengthen his vigilance. Then he ordered the remaining subordinates to hurry up and transport goods, food and grass, and prepare to set out overnight to leave Parrot Island to find him again.
Sitting in the house. It is not safe to sail at night, even old sailors are not safe. Under normal circumstances, you should wait until dawn before departure. However, the situation is critical now and you cannot arrange it calmly. Even money, grain and materials cannot be transported all of them, and necessary things can be removed
Most of the supplies can only be discarded on the spot. If this order to discard supplies and goods on weekdays, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among subordinates, and even some people will object. However, this order was executed tonight very smoothly. Those troops knew that they were leaving Parrot Island, and they all had smiles on their faces.
As for discarding the baggage, they were not taken seriously, and they all took the order with pleasure. Although these people did not have a strange ambition like Xie Jiu and others, they did not have the loyalty of Xie Yongzhi to the master's family. For them, serving the head of the family was more forced. Although they could not escape and fight to the death, they could not.
People are willing. After learning that Chen Guang was leading his troops, these people quietly packed their bags and prepared to leave Parrot Island to find other nests. Even after forcing Xie San to come out for a test, these people's common wishes were also the same. Now they have the wish to do so, and they are full of joy.
As for the supplies and so on, I don’t care at all. Anyway, these are not my own things, so I will lose them if I lose them. As for my own wealth, I have already prepared some of my own goods and will not suffer any losses at all, so I can’t talk about worrying.
Looking at these subordinates who could not hide their joy, Xie Yongzhi felt sad. He was frightened before the battle. When did the Xie family's soldiers become like this? When did the souls of the Northern Mansion, who dared to fight against Fu Jian's millions of troops, actually disappeared? On the Parrot Island, everyone can barely call it an army, and the difference between it and the Jingzhi Eagle Yang is only who obeys the order. I am afraid that it won't take long to leave, and they will become a group of real thieves, and they have no other robbers from those who are robbing the family.
The difference is that it is probably not easy for the lord to rely on them to restore his family business. How should he explain to the head of the family at that time and how can he be worthy of his lord's cultivation? Fortunately, this group still has a three-point conscience. Xie Jiao, who was unable to walk after being beaten forty military sticks, was carried by two personal soldiers and did not leave him to fend for himself. Looking at Xie Jiao who was still crying for pain, Xie Yongzhi felt a little envious. He committed suicide.
I am afraid that the sins I have taken can not be offset by just a military stick, and the future will be even more miserable. I wonder if anyone will care about their fate at that time.
With this thought, Xie Yongzhi led his subordinates all the way to the place where the Wuya Warship was parked. Looking at the tall and majestic warship like a moving city, Xie Yongzhi's heart slightly rose. With this warship in his hand, he had a capital to turn over. The world is vast, why worry about finding heroes? He had a warship armor and a considerable amount of money and goods, and the Xie family was supported by him. Compared to Liu Jinu, who started his family in a poor family, he was not sure how to go out.
How many. Maybe there will be another adventure during this trip, and it is unknown whether it can create another world for the lord.
The on-duty team saw Xie Yong coming before, and quickly stepped forward to pay homage. Xie Yongzhi waved his hand to stop him, and then asked, "Is there anything strange about it?"
The team was shaking its head and said, "Uncle, don't worry, everything is as usual." Xie Yongzhi then let out a long sigh, and the stone in his heart fell temporarily. What he feared most was that Xu Le or Shen Guang came here to destroy the ship. If this was the case, he would completely lose all his capital and never have a chance to turn around again. For this team
For the people, the Five-Tooth Warship is their most precious warship. For the Xie family, this warship is the hope of restoring the family business, and its importance is not even below the entire branch. With the current financial power of the Xie family, it is already the limit to be able to create such a warship for their subordinates. If it is damaged, it cannot be replaced. If the Xie family wants to revitalize the family name and restore the glory of their ancestors, they cannot do without this warship, so Xie Yongzhi
One of the missions is to ensure that the ship is safe and sound. Even if it is necessary, it is not hesitant to sacrifice his own life. It is not a pity that the Xie family is stingy. Even with the strong national strength of the Great Sui Dynasty, the total number of the Five-Organ warships is extremely limited. The reason is that the Five-Organ warships are too large and ordinary trivial matters cannot be used. Moreover, the main enemy after the Great Sui Dynasty was in the country was the Turks. There was no need for water warships, and the Wu-Organ warships had no place to be used. It was also an important reason for the excessive cost of building such warships. Even the Great Sui Dynasty was reluctant to leave ships built on a large scale because of wealth, and the Xie family is even more indifferent.
Can't afford it. Being able to get such a boat into your own hands and smooth the head and tail has already spent a lot of money on the Xie family and took on many favors. Xie Yongzhi also knew that even his own life was not as valuable as this boat. He was very careful in maintaining it and preventing it.
The guards dared not be careless at all. The head of the Xie family knew that their strength was not as good as before. If they bet with money and grain like other families, they would not attract others' attention at all. Even if they win, they would not get much benefit, and if they lose, they would lose all their capital.
However, such a big ship can attract attention. As long as you follow the right person, when the world changes its owner in the future, the new king will definitely remember this five-tooth boat. The Xie family will inevitably be rewarded with rewards. In order to ensure that the boat can show its face in front of people when the owner needs it, Xie Yongzhi spares no expense to buy tung oil raw paint, which can not only prevent the hull from being invaded by water and insects, but also ensure that the hull is as smooth as new. A dedicated person takes turns to guard day and night unless he holds a military order.
, otherwise no one will approach without authorization.
Since learning that Shen Guang had brought his troops, the Parrot Island was heavily guarded and the whereabouts of the ship were stopped were strictly guarded. Their troop strength has doubled compared to the past. When it comes to guarding, it is even better than the cell where Han Yue was imprisoned. In addition to his loyalty to the master's family, it is more important that the five-toothed boat is not only an important war tool for the master's family to protect, but also a place where this branch has accumulated wealth. All the silk and wealth obtained from the merchant ship that Xu Le has taken
Although some of them on the ship were already unusable, the remaining amount was still very considerable, enough for these troops to live a leisurely life for a few years. After all, the Xie family still had to maintain the decent family, and they were even more afraid that they would be exposed to old accounts in the future to affect their family's reputation. They were very strict in their daily control over their subordinates and were not allowed to go out to rob them at will. Occasionally, most of the money and grain obtained from conquering prefectures and counties were used by the master. Although everyone tied their heads to their belts and fought for life, the wealth and goods obtained were extremely limited. This was also the Xie family's skill to control their subordinates, so that they would not make money, so as not to escape. They had no money, even if they wanted to escape.
There is nowhere to go. This method may not be wrong in troubled times. It is just that people who are afraid of being poor can't stand the money. Seeing so many silk piles there, even the leader's eyes will inevitably turn red, let alone soldiers below. These patrol soldiers must guard the battle
The ship must be more careful not to lose its wealth, and the responsibility is very heavy. In addition, the ship is now equipped with a batch of newly arrived tung oil, which is of great value. This year, the price of tung oil is expensive and difficult to obtain. Although the Great Sui Dynasty is not bad, the Xie family has a wide range of contacts and has very good means, but it is not easy to purchase it for a long time. The Five-Tooth Warship Boat is huge, so Xie Yongzhi wants to ensure that it is not worm-eaten and can keep it smooth. The tung oil used is not a small number, and even with the Xie family as a backer, there will be an occasional shortage of supply. Because it has just purchased a batch of accumulated hands not long ago in case of emergency needs, and in the future, the wandering world will not know where to settle down. These tung oils are even more precious.
Bei.tung oil originally existed on the sandbank, but Xie Yongzhi was worried that it would be used by Xu Le, so he moved it to the warship for storage. There are so many valuable things here, so he is naturally very careful in preventing them. The troops on duty are the closest to the team. The team led by the team is updated.
It was his own nephew. Since he said nothing was wrong, there was nothing to worry about. Xie Yongzhi took the lead on the boat. His members swayed the winch and used the power of a noose to drag the giant boat out of the mooring ground and into the water. The sound of the winch creaked, like a beast grinding its teeth. In the dark night, a giant beast gradually woke up from its sleep. Xie Yong
Zhili looked back at the bow of the boat and looked at Parrot Island without saying a word. With the sound of water, the hull bumped slightly, and all the Xie family members on the boat breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they got into the water, even if this life was saved, no matter Xu Le or the Meat Flying Fairy, it was no problem. Xie Yongzhi still had a tense face and said nothing. Under his influence, no one else dared to speak. In the huge boat, he was breathing.
It's the sound of paddling paddling.
Li Caosao came to Xie Yongzhi at this time and smiled and said, "Xie Da, my brothers are not capable and don't have any idle food. Why don't we just let us guard the money, grain and goods?" Xie Yongzhi glanced at Li Caosao and said coldly: "Those wealth and goods have never grown wings. They can't fly or escape, so there is no need to pay attention!" He wanted to drive people away directly, but now when he is employed, there is indeed a place to see people.
He stopped and changed his words:
"The leader Xie Jiao needs manpower, so you go to serve. The officers and soldiers are ambushing us at noon. War may start at any time. Don't walk around at any time if you have nothing to do." Li Caosao didn't seem to hear the threat and distrust in Xie Yongzhi's words. Instead, he nodded and thanked him, and then took a few companions to Xie Jiao's cabin. The hull of this Five-Tooth Warship Boat is huge. Although it is driven by wind and water flow, it also requires a large number of sailors to move forward and retreat. The things that Xie's family does cannot be seen, and they cannot hire sailors and wise men. All the things that are cared for by their own people, and even Li Caosao and others cannot get on. Every time when the Five-Tooth Warship Boat is out,
Except for the war soldiers, the rest could not rest. Tonight Xie Yi brought a hundred soldiers to search for Xu Le and others, and the people on the ship were even more exhausted. Except for the guards on the deck, basically everyone went to control the ship, and there were not many idle people. Xie Jiao was also unable to work.
