Eight hundred and thirtieth chapters over Jining

It is not very common to shoot arrows on a boat, and the canal is not as good as the sea. The distance between the ships is very close. What should I do if I shoot with a bow and arrow randomly, and accidentally hurt others?

Wang Tong, the fleet, picked up the ball on the ship, and the boats around him thought they were going to do something, but when they shot the arrow, they were shocked and rushed to avoid it. The people with a big temper even cursed them secretly.

However, everyone knows that such a large fleet of ships must be quite good at shooting arrows like this. Although they look like civilian ships, they should be less offended.

After a few arrows were shot here, the surrounding ships finally felt relieved. The shooting technique was really wonderful. Although the canal was calm, it was inevitable that the ship would shake again on the water. In addition, a breeze blew, the hanging grass ball also shaking, but at a distance of nearly 60 steps, no arrow was lost, so this one could leave.

At first, the people from other boats looked at them with a shelter, and then they all walked to the deck, and there was an arrow there, and everyone cheered.

After shooting ten arrows here, the grass ball was covered with arrows. In fact, there is another exquisite thing that the onlookers can't see. The grass ball is not big, and one arrow is shot up, and the next arrow is missing. Ten arrows are shot, which is even more a test of calibration head and judgment.

"Morigen and Batu were originally brothers. Their original small tribe was fought for by several tribes because of a beautiful woman. Although it was dedicated to the nobles of the Korqin tribe, the tribe that had not been won was cruel and came to kill their tribe. The two of them escaped this disaster because they let the horses go far away. After that, they kept working as horse thieves on the grassland and also made a spy for Jizhen."

Wang Tong was on the second ship, looking at the man standing in front of the ship shooting archers. Wu Er on the side spoke up there and introduced that the archer was Mo Rigen. It is said that in Mongolian language, this is what the archer means.

"Can you find out clearly? There are almost 100,000 Tartars who died in our hands!"

"Please rest assured. You dare to bring it back after finding out the foundation. You originally wanted to arrange to be a guard in the village. After Li Chengliang fought against Duolun, the troops on the grassland returned and wiped out Su Qing like crazy. No one was left with some connections with our Ming Dynasty. These two brothers could not stay on the grassland, so they came to join us. They had had many business dealings in the past, and this time they were determined to check through General Li."

Wu Er's errand was done well. Wang Tong nodded there, turned around and looked at the grass ball, and said with a smile:

"It's considered a sharpshooter!"

Wang Tong did not lower his voice. Mo Rigen also heard it, bowing and bowing on the top of the cabin. Another man also came up with a bow and arrow, probably it was Batu.

The shooting technique is divided into high and low, and you still have to see the height of the target. Batu also heard Wang Tong's praise of his brother just now and wanted to show his ability. He hesitated on the top of the boat with a bow and arrow, but he pulled the arrow. The first arrow shot, and the rope with the grass ball was broken. The second arrow shot by, nailed it to the wooden pole on the hanger rope, and the third arrow was also nailed it. He shot several arrows in succession, and they were nailed to the wooden pole.

This shows even more ability. Wang Tong was smiling and slapped the seals. The boats on both sides were like thunder. Walking on the canal, although the scenery on the shore was constantly changing, it was boring. With such wonderful gestures on the river, it really made people feel energetic.

If Mo Rigen and Batu didn't hold bows and arrows in their hands, they looked at the man in the rural areas of northern China, with a short and strong figure, and his legs were riding on horseback. They were originally braided on their heads, but when they came, they simply shaved their heads.

"You brothers do it well. No matter how good or whether it is wise or whether it is dependent on the prairie, you don't pay attention to this on this side of the marquis. You have made contributions and can be prosperous and prosperous in the Ming Dynasty. Even on the prairie, you can still be a noble person."

He called over and encouraged him a few words, but the two were very excited. As soon as they met, they knelt on the boat with great tribute, trembling. Wang Tong felt a little puzzled at first, thinking that the two sides had a short time to deal with each other, why are these two so humble?

Wu Er explained it from the side and realized that Wang Tong is now famous on the grassland. Altan Khan was an emperor-like existence on the grassland, but such an existence was killed by Wang Tong and destroyed the country. It is easy to imagine what kind of status Wang Tong had in the grassland.

After being encouraged by Wang Tong, the Mo Rigen brothers kowtowed repeatedly. Wang Tong smiled and asked them to return to their posts. Just as he was about to talk to Wu Er, he found that Wu Er was staring at the river.

Following Wu Er's eyes, he saw a small boat the size of a sampan. There was a relatively wide sail on the boat, which was serialized between the big boats on the river, walking quite quickly. There were three people on the boat, one of them was controlling the sails there, and the other two stood at the bow and stern of the boat and looked around.

When the boat passed by Wang Tong's fleet, the two big men on the boat watched very carefully. When the boat passed, Wang Tong pondered and asked:

"What? Is there something strange?"

"Sir, it was just now that the people on the river came to see the goods!"

Wu Er looked at the back of the boat and said in a deep voice that the canal was not peaceful, and he had done a case on the river, killed people and buried them on the shore, and the ship was changed, and even the victims could not find it. It was a completely headless case. The oil and water on the river were rich, and there were many people doing business on the river.

After so many years of peace, the forces on the canal have become less and less. Such stealing, looting, killing and robbing will be profitable. However, in most cases, the profits are not much, but the troubles are not small. The major forces on the river often focus on entraining goods and trafficking illegal bans, such as private salt.

But bandits are bandits. When they are fat, they will not stop eating them. In the area they control, they always have to patrol the river regularly.

Seeing that wealthy man and looking at the back of the platform, I started secretly. I had a fortune without knowing it. There was also some employed people to do something to kill people on the river.

Wu Er was looking around there, but Shi Qi, who was on another ship, had already climbed into the cabin and looked away with his hand in a shed. With an old man like him, he naturally understood what that meant just now.

Wang Tong had no feelings about this at all. What are these forces in the world in front of the official family? The difference between fireflies and sunlight is really not worth mentioning.

But the people who followed him to guard did not dare to neglect them. Wang Tong had a valuable status. If he encountered any mistakes on the road, everyone would really be in danger.

"Old Master, if it is the official ship of the imperial envoy, these people on the river will not dare to move. Let's go back to Jining and change to the official ship there."

The one who came to advise was Liu Sanlang. He and Shi Qi were considered mature characters of this group of people. These words were what they could say, but Wang Tong was very determined about this:

"Do you have no confidence to protect this marquis Zhou Quan? Is there no king's law when you pass Jining south? This marquis came here to investigate the case, not to show the majesty of this imperial envoy, and not to change it!!"

This is very different from Wang Tong's style of service, but Wang Tong said this. After discussing a few more experienced people, the incident was not too big. More than a dozen ships, hundreds of personal guards, boatmen and sailors all had been running on the canal for many years. Be careful not to worry too much.

But after one day in Jining, the leisure on the boat, which was like a vacation, disappeared. Everyone became nervous. According to the wartime realm system, people were arranged to guard every day. Wang Tong had one example that he did not expect that there were many people in his personal guards. Needless to say, Sha Dongning was a child of a family at sea. Tan Dahu and Tan Erhu were driven by Tan Generals since he was a child. He grew up beside the Squid Canal and was not bad in water.

After all, this ship is not as good as on land, and people will not be able to take advantage of the water. Even elite soldiers may not be able to show their abilities. Of course, Wu Er and Shi Qi are also good at water, but Liu Sanlang and the two Mongolians are not good. Mo Rigen was still seasick when he first boarded the ship, so there is no need to say that.

Jining Prefecture is much more prosperous than Linqing Prefecture. This made Wang Tong admire him. When Wang Tong was a child, he took a sea route to Aoguan Gate. When he became an adult, he was in the northern Zhili, Shanxi and the grassland area. This was the first time he walked south. The canal basin was the most prosperous area in the Ming Dynasty, which indeed gave Wang Tong a lot of knowledge.

Linqingzhou and Jiningzhou are perhaps not as prosperous as Tianjin Wei, but in this era, they are still an amazing and prosperous city. To the south, all the people along the coast seem to be more and more prosperous. However, after passing Jining, the situation changes.

According to the records of the Jinyiwei, from Jining to Xuzhou, from Xuzhou to Shanyang, the two banks of the canal were not peaceful. Many gangs and siege were active, and the people were also brave. Local clans often had private soldiers and colluded with bandits, but these things were only understood and had nothing to do with them.

After passing Jining Prefecture, I walked for a day but walked into Weishan Lake. The surface of Weishan Lake in this era was several times or even ten times that of later generations. When the boat was walking on the lake, there was no limit everywhere.

It’s a good wind right now. You can leave Weishan Lake and enter the Xuzhou territory in one day and a half. However, when it’s dark, you have to anchor up and down the lake. It’s also OK to sail at night. It’s safest way to anchor up and down the lake to rest for one night.

The boatman and sailor arranged by Dong Chuangxi for Wang Tong was indeed a man-made man. Before dark, they found a sandbar covered with reeds and shrubs in the lake and anchored near the sandbar.

As early as the Jiningzhou wharf, the guards on the boat bought sheep, chickens and ducks, and then got a few big fish in the river. The whole person packed up on the edge of the sandbank, which was a bit like a picnic. While he was having fun, the man on the boat greeted him loudly:
Chapter completed!
