Chapter 1110 From Shandong to Liaodong

This arrangement is not impossible to be installed, but it is definitely inconvenient to move supplies through small boats at sea. Yu Dajiang also suggested a few words, and when he saw Liu Yong insisting, he agreed.

This time, people from Xuzhou used sea boats, and the Yu family also had corresponding considerations. For example, this time, there were four children from the Cai family and two scholars sent by Xuzhou. They also made arrangements before leaving and placed them on Liu Yong's ship to do things.

There is one thing that the two sides agreed and spent a lot of money to hire two guides who were familiar with the situation along the Liaodong coast. The current situation there is not so much that I dare to just touch it blindly.

Five ships sailed away from the port. Before leaving, they received guidance from the guide, saying that this time they went to sea to transport goods to Xuzhou. The guides did not know that Liu Yong and his friends were from Xuzhou. They did so purely out of caution. Now, many official navy and pirates on the sea outside Dengzhou Prefecture are engaged in activities such as pirates. Unfounded ships are easily left without a return, but after being named Xuzhou, everyone became much more cautious. Even the deputy general was forced to leave, so who else was not afraid?

The first day of going out to sea was fine, and the weather was calm. Liu Yong, Li Yuliang and Xuzhou were all excited to board the boat to see the scenery. This was really new and novel. It was the first time we met. Yu Dajiang also arranged for sailors to welcome him. For example, fishing and getting off the net, he made some seafood and ate it directly. There were even famous Hanjing wines on the boat, and there were also a lot of them. Liaodong has always had a great demand for spirits. This time, two jars were opened, and everyone was very happy to drink.

The atmosphere made Li Yuliang feel very comfortable, and he felt that the suspicion before boarding the boat had disappeared, so everyone worked together to go to the coast of Liaodong.

Li Yuliang had a good alcohol tolerance, but he didn't adapt much on the boat. After drinking, he felt tired and slept in the cabin early.

This Guangzhou ship transporting cargo is naturally not comfortable. The boatmen and sailors all find a gap in the cargo room to lie on the deck to rest. The owner and the helm have a hammock, but Liu Yong and Li Yuliang are distinguished guests and cannot be neglected. They should get out the cabin to provide them with rest.

The hull shook, and Li Yuliang slept lightly in a daze. He would be awakened if he had a little noise. However, the boatmen and sailors on the boat had commands that they rarely passed by.

"Master, drinking on the boat is easy to get drunk. The owner of the boat told me to send you a pot of hot tea. I feel more comfortable after drinking it. How many days will I do when I do it?"

Li Yuliang was awakened by this greeting and lay there motionless. He heard Liu Yong get out of bed and open the door and close the door. The two people's rooms are next to each other, and the gaps between the wooden boards are not soundproof. The sound over there can be heard very clearly.

After the sailor came in, he closed the door and his voice immediately lowered. Li Yuliang heard Liu Yong say, "I have no connection with my own people next door." After saying this, the guy started to answer.

"How did they notice how did they ask you to come and deliver tea?"

"The Yu family probably didn't think too much about it. They also asked their subordinates to come and serve them because they were all from Xuzhou and no one followed them. They had already been ordered here and they were not allowed to get close to them if they had nothing to do."

"That's good, is there any abnormal movements in the Yu family?"

"The Yu family still relies on Xuzhou, but a group of people in the family just want to make money and don't want to do too much for us. On the other hand, they think that they can make more money after doing things for us. The two sides often compete. Some people are from Yu Zhiyuan's brother, and Yu Zhiyuan has no choice but to do anything about them. Moreover, many people in the Yu family use the name of Yu Zhiyuan's brother to do things."

The voice was pressed very low, but Li Yuliang here could hear it very clearly.

"Did they say this time the change of the ship?"

"I was going to come with a few sand boats. According to the old shipworker of the Yu family, although the storm of Liaodong coastal waves are strong, the sand boats run at this time, but before leaving, the Yu family took over several business orders from Fujian and had to use sand boats to transport cargo, temporarily moved the ship to use it, and then set off before the Guangbo ship came back, which was delayed by waiting for the ship to take ten days."

Li Yuliang was a little angry when he heard this. Zhao's name was recruiting refugees from Liaodong. Even in Linqingzhou, he knew that Zhao's name considered this matter very important. The Yu family, who had been favored by Zhao's name, was delayed for their own wealth. He really didn't know the importance of it, but Liu Yong's tone over there was always calm.

"Have the Yu family been linked with anyone else in the government?"

"I didn't find out about this subordinate, but I can't see it in the Yu family, so I really don't know anything."

Liu Yong was silent for a while, then asked, "How are you learning such a craft as nautical and ship driving?"

Speaking of this, the sailor Ding who came to deliver tea was a little angry and his voice was raised: "The Yu family was too stingy in their work, and never treated the food and drinks poorly, but they just didn't teach any skills. They could only do some miscellaneous work on the boat, and did nothing on the helm and sail to watch the sea. People from the Cai family said that they had learned a lot by just watching, but they couldn't learn real skills at all. It would be better to quit the Yu family's work and find a fleet to train themselves. They could learn it in a few years and do things for Master Jin as soon as possible."

"Stay calm down first, wait for the news here, and explain it to others clearly. I will keep a close eye on the Yu family on the boat. It's up to us to have some things happening on the sea."

When the guy raised his voice and said goodbye, Li Yuliang on the other side couldn't sleep anymore. He even thought about whether Zhao Ziying had arranged a suspicious liner at his home. This idea made him toss and turn. Finally, he thought that for the Li family, he had done a lot of things to do, and his family was also suspicious. Thinking of this, he finally fell asleep.

After waking up on the deck the next day, Li Yuliang put a short knife in his arms and was obviously more wary of the people on the Yu family's boat. However, looking at Liu Yong and others, their expressions were very natural, and then they realized that they were on the marks.

It was fine in the morning. In the afternoon, the wind on the sea gradually became stronger and the shaking of the ship became larger. This was common for boatmen and sailors, but they couldn't stand it for people like Liu Yong and others who were only in Shanghai. Not long after, someone lie down on the side of the ship and vomited loudly, and Liu Yong was the same.

The sailors on the Yu family's boat obviously expected this situation, so they held back their laughter and settled everyone, and even made hot soup specifically to make some more pleasant to drink.

Li Yuliang is rare to not be seasick. Dozens of Xuzhou martial artists were on the boat, but he was the only one who was not fainting. Li Yuliang helped the Yu family's boatman take care of his companions, mainly staring at Liu Yong.

Liu Yong vomited in a dark and spit out the things in his stomach. After he finally recovered slightly and asked Li Yuliang to help him get out of the cabin and lie down to rest. Li Yuliang naturally did it and helped him down the deck. When there was no one everywhere, Liu Yong suddenly said in a weak tone: "You pass my orders and let everyone stare at the Yu family on the boat. When there is something wrong, kill them immediately."

Suddenly speaking, Li Yuliang was stunned. Liu Yong glared at Li Yuliang and gritted his teeth and said, "Everyone is weak, but the Yu family is fine. What if they have bad intentions, they can only act first!"

This made Li Yuliang shudder, but he quickly agreed. Liu Yong did not return to his cabin, but put his weapons at his hand and leaned against the pile of goods.

Li Yuliang hurriedly walked onto the deck. Only then did he notice that many people on the deck were vomiting or breathing. However, these people were leaning against the Yu family sailors. This discovery made Li Yuliang's heart beat a few times. Only then did he realize what he would encounter when he entered the Zhao camp. Under all seemingly ordinary things, there would be bloody battles at any time. It would not be necessary to harm others, but he had to be always wary of being harmed.

One by one, the Xuzhou military men on the boat seemed to be prepared. When Li Yuliang mentioned that everyone knew what to do, but everyone was really uncomfortable and weak, but these discomforts and lack of energy did not delay their killing. Li Yuliang walked around carefully, believing that if something happened, the Yu family would be killed.

At this time, Li Yuliang realized why Liu Yong had to allocate his staff in this way? This was to be able to control a ship with superior strength at any time without being designed by the Yu family.

However, this is also a way to prevent problems before they happen. At night, the wind gradually became smaller and everything was normal, but the Yu family had no intention of being wary.

"I run on the sea all year round, and there are no honest people on the boat. They all have to prepare for fighting, but they believe us, so they are not wary." That night, Liu Yong began to take the initiative to talk to Li Yuliang.

"At present, the Yu family has no slight concerns about our Xuzhou, but they are too careful, so we have to be more careful. But these things are our own preparations, and it will hurt our harmony when they are revealed. We are not officials in the court now, so we have to be careful in everything and remember to be careful of others."

Liu Yong said these words to Li Yuliang were heart-wrenching, and he completely treated the other party as Zhao's behind-the-scenes.

In the next few days, the Yu family had no movement, and everyone gradually adapted to the wind and waves on the sea. According to the sailors, the weather on the sea was already very good.

According to the arrangement of the sea guide, after setting out from Penglai, Dengzhou Prefecture City, he headed north, Changdao, Daheishan Island, Dazhushan Island, Daqin Island, Nanhuangcheng Island, and Beihuangcheng Island. He stopped one by one along the small islands between Dengzhou Prefecture, Shandong and Jinzhou, Liaodong. The first destination in Liaodong was Lushun, which was still under the control of the remnants of the Ming army.

There is no need to go to Changdao because the Ming army has set up a military camp here and does not allow Liaodong refugees to stop there and transfer them directly to Dengzhou Prefecture. They will also host Liaodong deserters on the spot to join the army. The situation on Daheishan Island is similar.
