Chapter 104: The **** female partner chooses farming (53)
Donghai County.
At the newly built coastal defense station outside the city, the soldiers were celebrating.
“Done!”
“Happy!”
Regardless of whether they were on duty or not, they all listened to the general's words obediently. No one drank, for fear of a sudden attack by the Dongyi people. What they drank at the moment was the lily and mung bean soup cooked by the female relatives of the army in the rear. It was treated as wine to toast the pain. drink.
“General, do these two warships really belong to us?”
Yan Kejin nodded slightly: "Yes. The southern coastal defense line has been improved, and the eastern part should also be built. Of these two ships, one is usually prepared for war and the other is patrolling. When the materials are gathered, a few more ships will be built and they will be returned to the coastal defense. Stand for dispatch."
He opened shipyards in Minyue and Baiyue counties. In the past few years, all the ships built in the past few years, except for commercial use at sea, were turned into warships, which took turns patrolling the southern coast.
Now that the pirates in the southern seas have completely disappeared, it is time to rectify the eastern seas.
"Very good!"
When the soldiers heard this, they smiled happily.
Holding mung bean soup in hand, they rushed to toast Yan Kejin.
From the temporary signal tower, the sound of the flute was heard, which meant that there was an emergency on the sea surface.
“General?”
All the soldiers looked at Yan Kejin.
He calmly took off the sachet he wore on his waist and took out a wooden telescope that was folded in half.
He raised it up to his eyes and looked at the East China Sea quietly for a while, then said in a deep voice: "Go down with the order and prepare for war!"
"yes!"
Although everyone was curious about the clairvoyance in the general's hand, the battle was imminent and no one cared about it. They quickly prepared themselves and ordered their men to take up their positions.
In the last battle, six ships of Dongyi's fleet were sunk by artillery. The remaining one turned around and ran away when the situation was bad. The navy trained privately by Yan Kejin chased it. Eighteen people on board were captured alive and one Dongyi ship was seized. A barbarian ship, plus a ship of supplies.
Unexpectedly, a fish that slipped through the net jumped off the ship and ran away. After escaping back to Dongyi, they moved in for reinforcements.
Do you feel that not enough people have died?
Yan Kejin sneered, lifted up his shirt, and boarded the command ship. He raised his big hand high to signal the soldiers to prepare.
“Prepare—let go!”
A cannonball shot out of the barrel, followed the predicted route, and was accurately thrown between the Dongyi fleet. "Boom--" a huge wave of ten meters high was set off, and the two large ships were overturned in an instant.
The people on the other ships were holding on to the masts, crawling on the deck and panicking, mumbling something.
After a while, a boat turned around and ran away in the direction it came from.
“Bah—coward!”
Someone in the Yan family's army spat hard.
“General, do you want to pursue me?”
"Chase!"
Even though they all say that you should not chase after a poor enemy, but this is still in the coastal waters of your own country. If you don't teach them a lesson, they should treat Yanhua's Donghai County as their back garden, and they can come and leave as they please!
The two warships pursued forward in a pincer attack, one on the left and one on the right, and soon sank three more Dongyi ships that turned around and ran away. The people on the remaining ships all raised their hands and surrendered.
Originally, I was still thinking about how powerful Yanhua's sea ships can be? If there were, they would have been sent out long ago. How could they still watch them murder and loot in Yanhua waters for so many years?
It must have been that the soldier jumped off the ship and fled because he was afraid of his own life. After returning home, he exaggerated to avoid guilt.
This time, their king specially sent fifteen specially-made sea ships. Each ship was equipped with sufficient manpower. All of them were brave and good at fighting, especially at sea, preparing to deal a heavy blow to Yanhua.
I never expected that I would be the one getting beaten.
At this moment, the Dongyi people regretted it.
I didn’t expect Yanhua to have such a powerful weapon. Who would have come if he had known earlier? Come here to die!
As for jumping into the sea, what a joke! In this kind of weather, one would be dead within half an hour of jumping into the water.
In the end, more than 300 Dongyi people were captured alive and ten intact ships were captured.
The soldiers were all in great spirits.
The Yan family's army was okay. After all, they had seen the power of King Jinnan a long time ago. The faces of the defenders of Donghai County were filled with excitement that could not be concealed.
In less than half a month, the problem they had been having for several years was solved.
“The general is mighty!”
“Mighty! Mighty!”
Yan Kejin raised his hand and pressed it: "Don't take it lightly. Leave one boat to patrol, and the rest will go back with the prisoners and captured materials."
“General, these prisoners…”
“Let Dongyi exchange materials or technology. It’s okay if we don’t exchange. We don’t want to raise idle people. We will send them all to the border to open up wasteland and mine.”
"yes!"
…
Xu Yin was not idle after arriving in Donghai County. While having the baby, she gathered the female relatives of the army lieutenants and formed several small teams.
One team is responsible for guarding the food and grass. Xu Yin can only feel relieved after the food and grass needed for the front line have passed through their hands.
One team is responsible for cooking and delivering meals. All the food and drinking water that the soldiers eat must be cooked, cooked and delivered personally by them.
One team is responsible for checking the food and grass sent by the court to ensure that there is no problem before transporting it to the Haiphong Station kitchen.
Finally, a women's army was formed, which took turns patrolling the rear, and one must be alert when seeing unfamiliar faces.
Xu Yin is guarding against the Dongyi people. They are cunning and cunning. If they sneak in and do something, they will directly affect the frontline war.
But I didn’t expect that it was not the Dongyi people who were hard to guard against, but the internal thieves.
“Madam! Look! I found this in the beans!”
The family members responsible for inspecting the grain and grass discovered that there was something wrong with the grain and grass sent by the grain transport officer: the beans were mixed with croton!
In addition, rice noodles are old and have worms, and sweet potatoes are moldy.
“Madam! There’s something going on!”
Immediately afterwards, the Detachment of Women caught a sneaky stranger during patrol. After severe interrogation, he actually wanted to find an opportunity to secretly throw poison into the well!
As soon as these two things came out, the female relatives were extremely frightened.
When the general’s wife called them to form a women’s army unit, they were actually quite unhappy.
Some families have several children, so how can they find time to check food and grass, cook, deliver meals, and patrol? There’s no time for taking turns!
But what if a man makes a living under a general and doesn't listen to the general's wife, and the general gives him little shoes? I had to endure the displeasure.
The result...this group of murderers!
Fortunately, they complained and worked hard, and discovered the croton mixed with the beans.
If the bosses in the kitchen are rough and just scoop up a few spoons and grind the bean juice, wouldn't the soldiers eat the bean juice mixed with croton and suffer from diarrhea and collapse? How can I still have the spirit to fight?
It is even more unscrupulous to throw poison into the well!
You must know that these wells were dug by the Yan family army after they arrived, because they were afraid that the river water outside was not clean and the soldiers would be unhealthy after drinking it.
The water used up and down the military camp is all supplied by these wells.
Once someone drugged the well, and the Dongyi enemy troops took advantage of this time to invade, and there were tens of thousands of people in the camp, wouldn't they be like meat on a chopping board, ready to be slaughtered?
Only then did the family members realize how prescient the general’s wife’s original consideration was.
It was their narrow-minded thinking in the past, but after they figured it out, they apologized to Xu Yin one after another.
After apologizing, focus more on the task at hand.
If it was necessary to do it because of the relationship between superiors and subordinates, now it is from the bottom of my heart that I want to protect the military camp and protect the frontline soldiers who bring a stable life to the people.
Among them, there are also their husbands and sons!
