Chapter 1 1 Peasant Army Soldier

The water of the Yangtze River is vast and lush, like a winding dragon flowing from west of the river to east into the East China Sea.

As we walked up the river, countless rivers flowed into it, making the river water more and more vast. It was really a river flowing into the river.

If the Yangtze River is a giant dragon lying on the land of China, the vast Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake are like the claws of a giant dragon, making the entire dragon live, as if preparing for the last leap and leaping into the sea

go.

The Yangtze River has been a golden waterway since ancient times. It not only provides abundant irrigation water for the river basin, but also promotes the exchange of materials between the east and the west. In August, the Yangtze River is sunny, and thousands of sails are all with light winds.

Huguang is familiar with the world, and the developed water transportation makes it important in the empire and is even more important for transporting troops.

"In ancient times, there was the Battle of Red Cliffs, and now there was the Battle of Poyang Lake in the Ming Dynasty. Bah, wherever I thought of it, it was all about one or two hundred years ago, and it's still here."

At this moment, a teenage child was sitting by the river looking at the sailboats passing by on the river. Occasionally, two fishing boats were waving by in front of him, showing the prosperity of this golden waterway.

In the distance, the skyline on the river was on the river. The little boy knew that it was Jiujiang Chaoguan Wharf. Although it was invisible, the little boy also heard from his father that there were hundreds of taels of silver there every day, and that was tens of thousands a year.

The matter of money is really the best place in the world.

In the previous life, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands seemed to be a big deal, but now it was in the Ming Dynasty.

The little boy still remembered that he took a ingot of silver from his father and said it was 2 taels, which was very heavy. He felt that he was not as heavy as 2 taels of his time, and seemed to be a little lighter.

Although I don’t know how many grams of 1 jin was in the Ming Dynasty, I still know that 1 jin was 16 taels in ancient China, so it is estimated that 1 tael of silver was more than 30 grams.

Still not used to this era.

The little boy sighed in his heart. After more than ten years of education, he has developed a measure of so-called international standards, which is a bit unchanging.

After rubbing the red and swollen palms, I remembered the heart of the teacher who was in the private school in the morning. I felt a slight pain in my palm. I picked up a stone beside me and threw it into the river. A splash of water splashed and rippled it all over the place.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong."

At this moment, a sharp sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from a stone fort far behind him. The drum beats were rapid, showing a very urgent appearance, which made the little boy look back unconsciously and happened to see a knight jumping from the horse.

He rushed out of the city gate and flew along the riverside path to the distance. The direction should be towards Qianhusou.

"Yu Tou, it seems that something happened at home, go back quickly."

"Go away."

"Hurry up, there must be something wrong with spies."

A few children behind him who were still playing by the river now left the little boy behind, picked up the cloth bag from the ground and ran towards the stone castle, all of which were whispering.

The little boy named Fish Head also got up at this time, rubbed his muddy hands, bent down and picked up a gray cloth bag beside him, then turned around and trot back with his playmates, and listened faintly when he turned around.

When I arrived on the river, I heard the sound of boat paddling and paddling.

Yutou looked back and saw that it was two fishing boats from the Hundred Houses. No, it should be said that it was a river patrol ship. It was used for inspection of river defense, and it was just a few nets of fish along the way.

This kind of whistleboat is about ten meters long, with a canopy in the middle of the boat to shelter from the rain, a mast in front of the boat can be hung with sails, and three or four oars on both sides of the boat can be placed. It is particularly suitable for the

Used by the Yangtze River and in Poyang Lake.

Yutou was said to the sergeant. This is called Jiujiang Shou Ship, which is produced in Hukou County next door. It is said that the bottom of the ship is flat, the boat is bang, shallow draft, high buoyancy, heavy load, light and sensitive, strong and durable.

Features and advantages.

However, in the eyes of Yutou, it was just a wooden boat that could carry about ten people. In his own era, domestic oil tankers with hundreds of thousands of tons and aircraft carriers with tens of thousands of tons were all small meanings. The ship in front of him really couldn't afford any interest.

I rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and water to eat the water. It is because of these two small boats that I have never had short fish these days. By the way, I even ate hare meat. It was a military household who came into the mountains to honor my family.

At this moment, several soldiers on the boat were closing the net, and some people were adjusting the sails while sliding the oars on both sides to move towards the small pier.

When the children in front were about to run to the stone castle, they all slowed down and waited for the fish head behind them. The fish head was jogging there slowly, looking back from time to time and taking a look off the boat

What gains do the sergeants have?

After approaching, many people ran into the fields outside the fort. They were rushing into the fort gate in a hurry. Most of them were wearing red clothes, but they looked ragged and a little miserable, and these were from the fields.

Those who came over were the guardians of this stone fort. They didn't see many people holding hoes in their hands.

"Yu Tou, is something wrong in the city?"

"Yes, I saw the horse hiding out first."

"That was back to the city, not from our fort, maybe it was from the city who came to report the news."

Several children were talking to the approaching fish head.

"We will go in after they go in. You will know when they ask. There must be something wrong."

As I spoke, the sound of gongs and drums in the fort was gone, but people kept running from afar to rush into the fort.

A few little guys walked through the fort gate and saw a lot of people surrounded in the small square. They were the soldiers who had just been gathered up with the sound of gongs and drums. At this time, they were standing there, but they were standing in front of them.

On the earthen platform, an officer in a hundred-dressed costume was speaking there.

On one side of the earth platform, several people stood on the side guarding two large chariots. One was filled with weapons such as swords, shields, spears, etc., which was to arm these peasant troops, while the other was piled with red wars.

Clothes.

It's just a battle suit. I didn't imagine that those bright silver helmets and bright light armor on the ancient battlefield were just some red coarse cloth clothes, but they were a little thicker than the cloth, because that was the so-called cotton armor. I don't know how much corners were cut, but at least

It’s still standard equipment, maybe because I’m afraid that I can still distinguish my robes after the war is disrupted.

"Go and listen to what your father is saying there."

A friend said with a smile after seeing this scene.

"You're so happy. Didn't you see your father also being in the team? I'm afraid it's going to fight."

Another child said, pointing his hand at the two big cars under the earth platform.

"Who to beat? Where to fight?"

"I don't know, fish head, do you know?"

The children chattered for a long time, but didn't say anything, and turned their eyes to their boss, Yutou.

"I don't know either. I haven't been in war for many years. Go and listen to what my father said."

Several children unconsciously accelerated their pace.
