Chapter 313 Battle of Shijie Lake
Not to mention how Li Zhong and Zhou Tong conveyed the message, we only talked about Liangshan County. After Zhao Zhen took Jinlebo and Xiulebo as his concubines, he stayed at their residence for several days.
After a few more days, they took turns staying in each room.
On this day, Zhao Zhen was talking to Tang Long and Hou Jian in the hall. Zhao Zhen was surrounded by a piece of iron armor, with an excited look on his face: "Two brothers have worked hard, and this step of human armor has finally been forged."
Tang Long said: "Master, after these days of exploration, the craftsmen below have mastered this step of forging the leaves of human armor. From now on, as long as there is a lot of iron, we can continue to forge the human armor."
Zhao Zhen laughed after hearing this and said to the two of them: "With two brothers here, what kind of armor cannot be made. How is the production now?"
Hou Jian said: "Officials, we can now make a hundred pairs of leather armor, forty pairs of iron armor, and ten pairs of foot armor per month. However, there are not enough leather and iron materials to last until the end of the year."
"The two brothers are responsible for supervising the construction, and I will purchase the iron and leather myself."
After hearing this, the two stood up and left. Zhao Zhen then called Tao Youda who was waiting aside to come in.
After seeing the gift, General Tao You handed the thing wrapped in cloth to Zhao Zhen and said, "Your Majesty, this is a cucumber and vine armor woven according to the body shape of the hero Ouyang Shoutong. Please check it."
When Zhao Zhen looked at it, he saw that, like the sapphire gourd and vine armor, the vine armor woven from cucumber vines was also first-level armor and had the same protective properties.
World Log:
Cucumber Vine Armor (First-order, woven from first-order cucumber vines, soaked in black paint and covered with dark cloud sand, it will not sink in water and can protect against arrows.)
Characteristics: Protection +3, sturdiness +2; unsinkable when dropped into water, resistant to heavy hits.
Zhao Zhen praised: "Guanshi Tao, your skills are getting better and better. How are you doing with the rattan you brought last time?"
"Don't worry, senior official. The rattan is being repeatedly soaked in tung oil and dried in the sun. In another three or four months, the rattan armor can be weaved. During this period, through weaving bamboo mats, the apprenticeship skills recruited by senior officials have also been seen. , I will be able to weave rattan armor by then.”
Zhao Zhen nodded: "That's good. I will purchase a batch of these rattans. You must carefully supervise the weaving of rattan armor and bamboo mats. Don't just be an apprentice to deal with errands."
"Don't worry, officials. Apprentices are all chosen from poor families who can endure hardships and stand hard work. I cherish this opportunity. I'm so happy to have a cool bamboo mat this time."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "It's you who works hard and will be rewarded if you have merit. You can't weave so many bamboo mats and you won't be able to use them."
After sending Tao Youda away, Zhao Zhen picked up the rattan armor in his hand and looked at it again, and asked Zhao Ji to put it together with the [Eight-Corrugated Tiger Eyed Steel Whip] sent by Tang Long. He would just drive to Shijie Lake tomorrow. Send it to Ouyang Shoutong.
Just as they were cleaning up, they saw Zhao Yuanli leading a big man in. It wasn't Ouyang Shoutong.
Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "I was thinking about going to Shijie Lake to visit my brother tomorrow, but I didn't expect my brother to come first."
With that said, Zhao Ji brought up the rattan armor and steel whip.
Ouyang Shou said: "A high official, Huang An, the training envoy of Jeju Prefecture's point division regiment, led more than a thousand people to Shijie Village for a campaign. We set up an ambush and lured them into the lake. We killed and drowned half of them and captured six. There are more than a hundred people, cattle and horses, and no baggage. Ruan Xiaowu has sent me to report the victory."
After hearing this, Zhao Zhen quickly invited Wu Yong, Zhu Wu, Xiao Rang, and Pei Xuan, and then asked: "How many soldiers were lost?"
Ouyang Shoutong said with a smile: "Don't worry, senior officials, this battle was fought happily. Except for a few injured by falls, the soldiers were not injured."
"This group of people is also brave. They broke into Shijie Village at once, but they didn't know that I had already made up a plan with Ruan Dian. Let Ruan Dian and others cry and complain that a group of water bandits came from the lake, kill the Yazi military advisor, and force everyone to The fishermen hated the water bandits deeply and took the initiative to guide them and provide boats to lure them into the water.”
"Huang An Tuo Da, I heard what Ruan Dian Li was saying. We only had a hundred people, but we actually left a hundred people to guard the horses. The rest got on the boat to destroy us. These landlubbers got on the boat and only dared to Sitting in the bed cabin, holding the string of the boat with both hands, I am waiting for my opponent."
"Ruan Dian also used a siege strategy to separate these people in the reeds in the lake. Brother Ruan Xiaowu and I each led a team of sergeants. We killed those who resisted in just half a day. Those who could recognize the water were scratched in the water. In the dead lake, those who dared not go into the water were captured alive, their arms and legs were tied, and they were taken into custody in the boat."
Zhao Zhen asked: "How is Huang An?"
Ouyang Shou said: "This man is quite capable. During the battle, he dared to sail a boat alone to meet the enemy. Unfortunately, all his men on the boat became soft-footed shrimps. They fought with the Ruan Xiaowu brothers, and Ruan Xiaowu was stabbed in the head. The chest was bandaged randomly and kept in the boat."
"How did you deal with this group of officers and soldiers on the road?"
Ouyang Shou said: "Most of the people on the road are old and weak. I waited for them to go ashore and surrounded them, and captured them without any bloodshed."
Zhao Zhen laughed and said: "Brother, you two did a good job. The navy of less than three hundred people actually wiped out more than a thousand thieving officers and soldiers without any damage. It should be remembered as a great contribution."
Just as he was talking, Wu Yong and others pushed the door open and came in: "Master, what kind of good news is this, which makes Master so happy."
Zhao Zhen asked Ouyang Shouting to read the preface again.
Zhao Zhen said: "How about this kind of news?"
Wu Yong also smiled and said: "It is indeed good news. After this battle, I am afraid that the Jeju government will not dare to come over again to make noise."
Zhao Zhen nodded: "This is exactly what I want. It's getting late today. Tomorrow Brother Pei Xuan and I will go to Shijie Lake with Brother Ouyang Shouting to record the soldiers' merits and give out rewards."
"With so many people captured, there must be a charter. Furthermore, the fishermen in Shijie Village have contributed a lot, so they must be rewarded. I wonder if any of our brothers have any ideas?"
Xiao Rang first said: "The fishermen of Shijie Lake naturally want to reward them, and even give them heavy rewards. Not only that, but also ask the geisha storyteller from Wasi to write a paragraph to praise the fishermen of Shijie Village for their fight against foreign aggression. I’ll give you a generous reward and tell a story in various taverns in Liangshan County.”
"As for rewards, in addition to gold and silver, they can include rice, wheat, salt, and cloth. Each household in Shijie village only has four or five acres of farmland, and they all rely on fishing in exchange for grain and rice."
Zhao Zhen listened and nodded: "What brother Xiao Rang said is that since Shijie Village is short of food, the county will arrange manpower to build a grocery store there and transport more rice to allow fishermen to fish with peace of mind. ”
Xiao Rang responded, took out a booklet from his arms, handed it to Zhao Zhen, and said, "Master, the households, fields, and fishing boats in Shijie Village are all counted here. Please take a look at it."
Zhao Zhen took it and said, "There's no rush. I'll look at it later. The prisoners also need to discuss a charter. With so many people, it's not good to kill them all."
Wu Yong said: "Brother Xiao Rang, didn't you say that there is still a shortage of coal miners in Black Tiger Temple Town? Pick some strong ones and send them in shackles. We will also add more people to pound rice in the prison. Send more. We raise horses at Liangshan Racecourse, which is surrounded by water. Even if one or two people escape, it doesn't matter. We are asking him to go to the city to promote our methods. "
"It's just that Huang An is in some trouble. After all, he is an official of the imperial court and cannot be dealt with casually. If he can recover from his injuries, I'm afraid he can only be imprisoned."
Ouyang Shou said: "Commander, if Huang An can't survive without seeing him, brother Ruan Xiaowu will never hold back his fork. When I came, this man was already taking in too little air and letting out too much."
Wu Yong said: "Life or death doesn't matter, I just can't let him leave Liangshan County."
