Due to something happening at noon, the first chapter today was posted early, friends, please forgive me.
After passing Huazhou and heading north, since it was already late autumn and the northwest wind was getting stronger, the grain ships could no longer raise their sails. Each ship lowered its sails as early as after leaving Huazhou.
The newly excavated canal from Huazhou to Yedu has a terrain that is high in the north and low in the south, so the water flows from north to south. This process is equivalent to going against the current. The thirty strong boatmen on each boat only
He was able to exert all his energy, shouting slogans and pushing the drainage pulley to go against the current.
If there is a favorable wind, this section of waterway can be sailed with sails, and combined with the flywheel drainage, it will only take two days to get there from Huazhou to Yedu. But this time it is going backwards and with the wind at leeward, so the journey will be delayed.
Escort officer Feng Chenfeng stood on the first iron-headed warship. Seeing the slow speed of the ship, he frowned and said to Li Jixun, the commander of the third battalion beside him: "Commander Li, the speed of this ship is too slow, and there is no one to replace the boatman.
It was very strenuous. I couldn't walk for half a day before I had to stop at the shore to rest, which greatly delayed the journey. The imperial court's order for me was to reach Yedu within six days. It has been four days. If we can't speed up the journey, I'm afraid the military plane will be delayed.
If this is true, you and I will be in trouble. In this case, you pass on my instructions and order the soldiers and boatmen of each ship to take turns pushing the flywheel and speeding up the ship. We must reach Yedu within two days! The two capitals of the two ships in front and behind are
A soldier, only one team is left to be responsible for guarding, and the other three teams are scattered to each ship to cooperate with the sailing."
Li Jixun also had a solemn look on his face. Feng Chenfeng's request was obviously a bit excessive. The main duty of these personal guards was to protect the safety of grain ships and they had no obligation to row boats at all.
But what Feng Chenfeng said is indeed reasonable. If he cannot reach Yedu within two days, I am afraid that even if he can safely transport the grain and grass to Yedu, it will violate the imperial court's will and delay the military flight.
Delaying the military plane is definitely a serious crime of beheading. Feng Chenfeng cannot bear it, and Li Jixun cannot bear it even more. But Feng Chenfeng is Feng Dao's grandson. With Feng Dao here, Feng Chenfeng will never be beheaded. At most, he will be dismissed from his official position.
, the unlucky scapegoats can only be Li Jixun and Hua Tian.
No choice, Li Jixun didn't want to ruin his future, so he ordered the messenger to issue Feng Chenfeng's order.
Naturally, the pro-combatants on each ship complained loudly, but since the order was issued by two adults, the escort and the commander, as small soldiers, they had no right to resist. They could only take off their armor, roll up their trousers and sleeves, and talk to the boatmen.
They mixed together, divided into two groups, and took turns pushing the flywheel to paddle.
There are a total of two hundred armored soldiers on the Kanglong ship. The order from the escort has just been sent. Only one team of two hundred armored soldiers is left to be responsible for the safety of the fleet. The remaining 150 armored soldiers have also been assigned to thirty ships.
On the grain boat, he became a boatman.
Kang Long was even more worried when he saw a pair of armored soldiers who were full of resentment and were assigned to work as coolies on various ships. It seemed that Feng Chenfeng wanted to take advantage of his position to consume the bodyguards' physical strength before being ambushed.
Until he was attacked by surprise, he had no strength left to resist.
This was a vicious plan, which not only killed two battalions of elite soldiers, but also cut off the supply of food and grass to Yedu, putting the defenders of Yedu directly into a desperate situation.
I don't know who the mysterious ghost king is, and he actually planned to set up such a vicious plan to knock down the last barrier of the Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop, completely disintegrate the Jin Dynasty, and plunge the Central Plains into a situation of falling into pieces again.
Kang Long secretly guessed that the mysterious ghost king was most likely a Xuan Kung master sent by the Khitan military, who wanted to cut off the retreat of the Yedu defenders in one fell swoop and force the Yedu defenders to surrender.
But it is also possible that they were sent by other separatist forces who were spying on the Central Plains, wanting to completely dismantle the Jin Dynasty and make the situation in the Central Plains chaotic, so that they could take advantage of the chaos to invade the Central Plains and seize the hegemony.
No matter what the possibility is, as long as this poisonous plan succeeds, Kang Long and more than a thousand people will be buried in Nawangui Beach. Even if he can survive this sneak attack, he will probably have to bear the serious crime of delaying the military plane and be destroyed by the Jin Dynasty.
The royal family ordered beheadings upon inquisition to silence the public and quell the resentment of the soldiers at the front, right?
"Damn it, I don't care if you are the grandson of that old man Feng Dao. If you have set up such a vicious plot to harm me, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Kang Long cursed in his heart while thinking of countermeasures.
At this time, if he explained to Hua Tian and others the vicious plot he heard last night, I am afraid no one would believe him based on his qualifications.
"It seems that we can only fight in danger!" Kang Long clenched the waist knife in his hand and said secretly through gritted teeth.
"Li Ba, Li Hu, come here!" Kang Long shouted to the two brothers Li Ba and Li Hu who were about to take off their armor and prepare to fuck themselves.
Although these two brothers are usually rough and rude, they are very considerate of their soldiers. They always like to hang out with the soldiers, eat from the same pot and sleep on the same bed. They are quite popular among the soldiers.
The two brothers came over with puzzled expressions while taking off their clothes and armor, "Don't take it off, put it on, I have something to tell you." Seeing Kang Long's solemn face, the two brothers became nervous and stopped taking off their armor.
Li Ba had a bad temper and complained: "Dutou, what's the matter? What a ****, we soldiers, our duty is to fight, but now we are asked to go rowing, it's so damn depressing."
Now there were only three of them officers on the iron-head warship behind, and Feng Chenfeng had just sent someone to Hua Tian to call the warship in front to discuss military affairs.
Kang Long was thinking quickly at this moment. He couldn't figure out which force Feng Chenfeng had gone to, but that mysterious force obviously had his destiny, which was to take charge of Haorantang.
Although Kang Long is not very clear about the power distribution of Haoran Hall yet, he knows how influential Haoran Hall is in the entire Central Plains.
Being in charge of Haorantang means that you can always stand in the court and never fall. No matter who dominates the Central Plains and establishes the imperial court, it is impossible to ignore the influence of Haorantang.
Over the years, under Feng Dao's deliberate management, Haorantang has become the representative of the entire Confucian sect.
No matter who is in charge of the artifact, I am afraid that they cannot do without the support of Confucianism. You must know that neither the Central Plains court and the separatists, nor the small courts in the south that have been separated as kings, nor the Khitan Kingdom and Wumeng Kingdom in the north can
Not paying attention to the influence of Confucianism.
Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty reused the great Confucian Dong Zhongshu and implemented the policy of "deposing hundreds of schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", the power of Confucianism has grown unprecedentedly. What's more, since the Sui Dynasty, the imperial court has changed the method of selecting talents in previous dynasties to the inspection system.
The imperial examination system was implemented to select and re-appoint talents. People all over the world regarded studying as the only way to enter the court and change their destiny.
The so-called excellence in learning leads to officialdom. This has been passed down for thousands of years. The status of scholars is unprecedentedly high. Ranking of various social classes, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, scholars are ranked first. This scholar is a scholar.
If you can control the representative power of Confucianism, you can imagine the prosperity and wealth in this life.
This kind of temptation is absolutely fatal to Feng Chenfeng. Because Feng Dao has obviously chosen Feng Haoyu as his successor in the current Haoran Hall. Feng Chenfeng is inferior to Feng Haoyu in terms of talent and ability. If he wants to replace Feng Haoyu, he must
It is only possible to take charge of Haorantang with the help of special forces.
After thinking through these stakes, Kang Long secretly sneered. I am afraid that even if Feng Chenfeng can take charge of Haorantang in the future, he will just become someone else's pawn. What's more, even with the help of outsiders, he may not be able to take charge of Haorantang.
I don’t know what he wanted to do when he summoned the two commanders Hua Tian and Li Jixun to the first warship. Judging from the hands he showed last night, he was probably at the peak of the master craftsmanship. Unexpectedly, he looked like he was drunk too much.
, the real strength is so brilliant.
I'm afraid that Hua and Li may not be his opponents. If he takes the opportunity to capture them, or even force them to rebel, then the fate of these people will be even more worrying.
"We are in big trouble this time." Kang Long stared at the two brothers Li Hu and Li Ba and said word by word.
