There are more than one pier in Phi Island, but this pier is definitely the largest one in Phi Island.
The Houjin people did not have warships, so there were basically no defensive measures on the dock. Jiang Wan didn't know why so many Ming soldiers gathered on the dock, but when he found that he was almost surrounded, he did not hesitate to issue the order
With the order, the two ships that had just entered the dock slowly left the dock and stopped a few hundred meters away from the dock.
The soldiers on the dock immediately started making noises. Many of them also picked up small stones on the dock and threw them towards them like a heavy rain as if to vent their anger. Although they could not hear what they were shouting, Jiang
Wan estimated that what these soldiers shouted was not something like "Welcome him to Phi Island".
No one came to maintain order, and no one like an officer appeared among these soldiers. Jiang Wan couldn't help but wonder whether the Pidao area had completely lost control. The officers and soldiers on the island had completely lost their organization.
A chaotic situation.
Since this is the case, then he can't count on anyone.
Fortunately, although the bustling crowd at the pier was angry, there were no other ships on the pier except these two newly arrived warships. As long as they kept a sufficient distance from the pier and stayed on the sea, the people on the shore would
There was still nothing we could do about these two warships.
When it was getting dark, the crowd on the pier had dispersed quite a bit, but there were still some people lingering here, as if they would not stop until the two warships docked.
Jiang Wan didn't know that his two warships had been regarded by the officers and soldiers near the docks as ships for the imperial court to transport food. As long as they did not leave, these people felt that they would not all disperse. Compared with other ships
They were searching for food everywhere, and now it would be easier and more abundant to capture these two ships of supplies.
The whole night, the warship was moored on the sea without any movement. After dawn, the soldiers who had been waiting at the dock for a whole day and night dispersed. However, two hours after dawn, near the dock,
Finally I saw someone wearing an officer's uniform.
The flag was hoisted on the shore, which meant that it was safe to dock. The two warships finally slowly came towards the dock.
A springboard hit the shore hard, and a middle-aged officer and a few people who looked like soldiers eagerly stepped onto the ship from the springboard.
"Yao Chunyong, the guerrilla general of Huwei Camp in Dongjiang Town, all the supplies this time belong to us!"
As soon as he got on the boat, the guerrilla general shouted carelessly: "Who is in charge of you, come out!"
Jiang Wan walked over from the deck with his hands behind his back, surrounded by a group of personal guards. He looked at the guerrilla general who was so arrogant as soon as he got on the ship, and nodded slightly: "I am in charge, but this
The ship is not here to supply Dongjiang Town!"
"You're bullying me for not knowing anything, right?" The guerrilla general glared at Jiang Wan: "With such a deep draft, is this ship hauling rocks? Stop talking nonsense, unload the cargo, and get out of here after unloading!"
"Are all your subordinates on the shore?" Jiang Wan was noncommittal and glanced at the crowd on the pier. Compared with yesterday, most of the crowd on the pier had dispersed, and now there were only three to two hundred people.
"Is this something you should be concerned about?" The guerrilla general pointed at Jiang Wan: "I've written the receipt for you, so don't be verbose. Brothers have been without food for several days!"
He also knew what he took out from his arms, and it seemed that he wanted to throw it directly into Jiang Wan's face. Jiang Wan glanced at it coldly, and the people around him immediately came up and took the thing in his hand.
"Take it!" Jiang Wan said softly, without even looking at the thing in his hand.
Before the guerrilla general could react, several people rushed over and immediately held him and the soldiers around him down. He was suddenly panicked and struggled desperately like a fish that had fallen on the shore.
"We have no superiors, so we gather people to mutiny!" Jiang Wan said with an unchanging expression: "If you don't surrender, we will kill you on the spot!"
Several personal guards made a "clang" sound and pulled out the swords in their hands. The bright light of the swords was more effective than anything else. The few guys who were struggling desperately fell silent immediately.
"I ask, you answer. If you answer the wrong question, I'll cut off your arm!" Jiang Wan slowly squatted down and looked at the face pinned to the deck: "You are the guerrilla general of Huwei Camp, the one on the shore
Are they all your subordinates?"
"Not entirely, but I have more than a hundred people!" Yao Chunyong answered vaguely, looking at Jiang Wan without much fear: "You are not the imperial court's supply ship to my Dongjiang River!"
Jiang Wan ignored his words and continued to ask: "Now in the four camps of Pidao, Huwei, Fengyong, Zhongyong, and the conquest camp, after Chen Jisheng's death, who is in charge!"
"It's Mao Shuai's father-in-law, Shen Shikui!" the guerrilla general replied, his eyes turning in isolation, not knowing what he was thinking of.
"Where is General Liu Xingzhi? Where is he at this moment?" Jiang Wan continued to ask. The last news he got was that there was a mutiny in Pidao. General Liu Xingzhi killed Chen Jisheng, and the other two generals were not known to be dead or alive.
At the moment, it seems that the situation on Pi Island seems to be slightly different from the news he received.
"Of course Deputy General Liu is obeying orders under Mr. Shen!" Yao Chunyong said hard: "Who are you? These things have been reported to the court a long time ago. Don't you know this?"
"Where are your generals from the Huwei camp?" Jiang Wan waved his hand slightly, indicating that the guards would loosen this guy's hands and let him stand up and speak.
"He must have died long ago. I still have to ask!" Yao Chunyong sighed: "Forget it, I won't argue with you. If you are not the naval force of the imperial court supplying Pi Island, then you can go your own way. Things here
, it’s not something you can mess with!”
"The imperial court sent me to interfere with your affairs!" Jiang Wan snorted, and directly showed his badge to this guy, "I, Jiang Wan, in the name of the imperial court, control the Pidao garrison and purge it.
Dongjiang, take a look..."
He waved his hand, followed Yao Chunyong's soldiers, slowly let go of these guys, and then looked at each other.
Yao Chunxiang just glanced at the waist badge and actually believed most of it in her heart. Apart from anything else, just two warships sent this person to Phi Island, which actually explains the problem. She found that the hands on her body were loose.
After only three or two seconds of driving, he almost immediately judged the situation in front of him.
He barely managed to hit the marshal's knife edge. Even the collision was light. If he didn't handle it well, he might be the first person the marshal used to establish his authority after the elementary Pidao.
Already.
On Phidao, one can endure hardships, but cannot suffer losses. At least, he has no intention of suffering this immediate loss.
"The last general, Yao Chunyong, did not know that the commander-in-chief was coming, and he had many conflicts. Please punish him with the commander-in-chief!"
"He who doesn't know is not guilty!" Jiang Wan waved his hand, "Your troops are now at my disposal. Restrain your troops, clean up the area near the dock, and set up sentries. Within half an hour, the soldiers and supplies on the ship will be delivered to the shore. There can be no
Error, can you do it?"
"This..." Yao Chunyong said hesitantly: "There are more soldiers who are not my subordinates on the dock than my subordinates!"
"If you don't follow orders, you will be a rebel!" Jiang Wan said calmly: "I don't know what the military discipline is in your Huwei camp, but the soldiers and horses of my Ming Dynasty must have military discipline in their hearts!"
"My subordinate understands. Please wait a moment, Commander-in-Chief, while I go to clean up the dock and welcome the Commander-in-Chief off the ship!"
Jiang Wan looked at him and nodded slowly.
Yao Chunxiang led several of his personal guards and almost rolled out of the boat. When he stood on solid land, he looked back and suddenly took a breath of cold air.
Except for the Marshal Jiang he had just met, there were densely packed human heads everywhere near the side of the ship, and what these heads were holding on the side of the ship was undoubtedly not a black cannon.
He didn't know if the equipment on these battlefields was equipped with other firearms, but he only knew that at such a distance, if the firearms on these ships were fired at the same time, at least a large number of people on the dock would die.
The officers and soldiers of Pidao are not those bumpkins from the mainland who have never seen firearms. Even Huwei camp has its own firearms soldiers. Although these firearms are not very reliable, it is no joke if they really hit people.
"Boss, how's it going? When will the goods be delivered?"
A man of general appearance came up, with a Chinese-character face and an upright expression. If it weren't for the color of his clothes, he looked more like a guerrilla general than Yao Chunyong.
"Take your people and drive away all the people who are not from our Huwei camp!" Yao Chunyong glanced at him: "Kong Youde, I'm not joking with you. Those who don't leave or those who make a scene, just attack them and beat them to death."
!”
"Ah!" General Manager Kong Youde was stunned: "What do you mean, boss, we can't eat these two ships!"
"Bullshit, there is not only food on the ship, but also important people!" Yao Chunyong said angrily: "The chief soldier sent by the imperial court, these two ships are his ships, you unlucky thing, what kind of Tai Sui did I commit?
, I just listened to your nonsense and came here, what a shitty grain ship!"
"Everyone moved, drove away the rest, and told them that there was no food on the ship. It was the commander-in-chief sent by the imperial court. Those who are not afraid of death should continue to stay here..."
Kong Youde started shouting, and there was chaos on the dock.
However, the conflict that Yao Chunyong imagined did not happen. Basically, when everyone heard that the commander-in-chief sent by the imperial court was on board, they all wanted to grease their feet and leave without having to drive them away. As soon as Kong Youde's soldiers shouted
When they got up, they all felt as if they were being pardoned, as if they were afraid that they would be walking too slowly.
"You are a thief!" Yao Chunyong pointed at Kong Youde: "Aren't you afraid that the big shot on the ship will be offended when you shout so loudly? If I really want to punish you for being disrespectful, you can't afford it!"
"Boss, you are wrong. This big shot is afraid that others will not know that he is coming!" Kong Youde chuckled: "Master General, how big of a deal is this? No one will spread the news of his arrival.
, who knew he was coming here, and who would come to see him, I must be right to do this!"
"Okay, what you said makes sense, just stay here and listen to it!" Yao Chunyong didn't want to wade into this muddy water at all: "I'll leave first. You go to welcome this big man down. If he asks, just say
I'm going to organize our troops and horses, and I'll be at your disposal at any time, the Commander-in-Chief!"
He patted Kong Youde hard on the shoulder: "Don't say I didn't take care of you. If I didn't treat you as a brother, I would never give you this opportunity. Serve this person well, and your future may lie here."
It’s one of them!”
"Thank you, boss, thank you, boss!" Kong Youde handed Yao Chunyong away and waited until the other party's figure disappeared from his sight before he spat hard on the ground.
"Bah, you still take care of me. If you are timid, you are timid. If it weren't for me, you, a guerrilla general, would have finished your work long ago!"
The pier was much quieter after the cleaning. When Kong Youde turned around, he finally understood why Yao Chunyong was leaving in a hurry.
On the battlefield, several springboards have been set up, and soldiers in bright armor are getting off the springboards. On the small pier, more and more people are gathering, and they are all full of energy and equipped with complete weapons and equipment.
With their mighty appearance, the hundreds of people who Kong Youde maintained order around the dock were just like a group of beggars.
Kong Youde stepped forward to greet him. The young figure stood out among the crowd. There was no need to guess that he was the big shot coming this time.
"Unload all the things on the ship into the room over there!" Jiang Wan looked at the officers of the Huwei Camp who were coming towards him: "Set up a sentry two miles away from the pier and send someone to notify the guerrillas and guards from the nearby Huwei Camp to come and see me.
!”
Kong Youde responded to Jiang Wan's words, and as soon as Jiang Wan gave an order, someone immediately ran out to deliver the order to Kong Youde.
By the time Jiang Wan walked to the door of the few remaining rooms at the dock, not only the sentries from the Huwei Camp on the outside had already set off, but the goods on the ship also began to be transferred from the ship with the efforts of the officers and soldiers of the Huwei Camp.
Transferred to the pier.
The soldiers disembarking from the dock had begun to disperse and set up a garrison without Jiang Wan's orders. Jiang Wan had enough confidence in his own people, but the officers and soldiers of this Huwei camp were also extremely efficient, which made him slightly
A little surprised.
"Where's Yao Chunyong, where have they gone?"
"Back to the Commander-in-Chief, Master Guerrilla has returned to the camp to organize military affairs. He specially ordered his subordinates to serve the Commander-in-Chief here!"
The serious-looking commander in front of him replied respectfully: "Commander Kong Youde of Huwei Camp, let the commander-in-chief do whatever he wants!"
Jiang Wan nodded. Although he felt that the name Kong Youde was somewhat familiar, he didn't take it to heart: "Come with me and tell me about the situation around here. What soldiers and horses are nearby and who is the commander.
What is the current situation in your Huwei camp..."
