317 Battle 1

The young official on the ship was Zhang Mingyi.

He went to the Qi Province of Jiangbei to serve as a military transport envoy for the Grand Governor's Office.

Although his real responsibility is to supervise the court and put a shackle on Qi's military personnel, since he is a transshipment officer, he will also help him gain a foothold in Jiangbei, which seems a little unfamiliar to the court.

With the dowry prepared by the Wen family for his daughter, the entire fleet of 110 ships and various materials and wealth are indeed a lot of.

In theory, taking out tens of thousands of stones of grain and tens of thousands of chunks of money is really not a big deal for the fleet.

But Zhang Mingyi couldn't afford to lose that person! He went to Qisheng to be the front line. As a transshipment envoy, he wanted to mingle with a group of arrogant soldiers and generals who could fight the Tartars. He was frightened by a group of horse thieves and took out the rewards given to the soldiers from the court as money for road purchases. Who would trust him after that?

Therefore, Zhang Mingyi made up his mind that he would definitely not compromise with the Ma Bandits today.

Of course, his failure to compromise does not mean that others do not want to compromise.

A fleet manager shrank down and said carefully: Sir, that person is Qi Nian, the thief on the horse!

Humph, I know! Zhang Mingyi answered angrily.

That was the bandit who had wandered around Jiangbei before Jianxing Nian! s1;

What exactly do you want to say? Zhang Mingyi scolded: Do you want to compromise with the horse bandits?

Sir, before, the villain walked the line of the canal, and when he met them, he would also give some benefits.

Seeing that Zhang Mingyi is not good at life or death, he can only say clearly:

In fact, he just called for a price, and everything was easy to discuss. If the adults agreed, two thousand stones of grain would be enough to send him away. Moreover, Wang Qinian had a good reputation. After collecting the grain, he would protect us from letting others rob him.

Absurd! Zhang Mingyi shook his sleeves: Get out! I will never compromise with the bandits!

Actually, it's not ridiculous at all.

The terminal of the canal is Yanyun, which means that if the ship that ran this line was not an official ship that gave Jin Dynasty an annual monies, it would have been a merchant ship that the Jiangnan master sent gentry to trade with the Jurchens.

Such a backboneless person naturally doesn't mind spending money to buy peace.

They even have a tacit understanding of the reputable roadblockers like the horse thief who transports as much goods as possible, and they should buy the road for the horse thief. After receiving the horse thief, they will be responsible for escorting a section of the road to avoid repeated charges.

This is the first time that the main war faction has involved the canal route. Zhang Mingyi does not quite understand the unspoken rules, but the fleet's manager is very clear.

Because the manager and these ships were originally the gentry who saw that the court had changed, abandoned the lords and turned to the King Wen, in order to express his feelings to the war faction, he took the initiative to send him to help King Wen complete the second shipping mission to Qi Province.

The gang leader and the group of people who were shipping to Qi Province were shipping to Liaodong last year.

But now the head of the fleet is Zhang Mingyi. He gritted his teeth and refused to compromise, and no one could force him.

Everyone was ready! Zhang Mingyi ordered loudly: Don’t be afraid of those horse bandits! This place is already very close to Qisheng! After two hours, Qisheng’s troops will come to help!

He didn't know when Qi Shengjian would come, but the two sides did make an appointment in advance, and it was indeed not far from Xu Shiyang's territory.

The soldiers of Qi Province should come to pick them up - after all, Qi's soldiers are not Zhou's soldiers, and they will not be as calm as a mountain when they are in trouble.

Zhang Ming's resolute uncompromising situation made Wang Qinian feel very embarrassed.

He only has one hundred riders under his command, and even if one is worth ten is not enough, the other party can't bluff, which is very embarrassing.

If you fight, you may suffer a lot of losses. Even if you cause a few injuries to him, it will be a big trouble for the horse thief who is known for his mobility.

But if you don’t fight, it’s hard to say whether you can block the boat next time if you let this group go. Besides, now that he has shown up, if he goes back empty-handedly, the reputation of the horse thief will be lost.

Five thousand stones of grain, five thousand stagnant of money!

Wang Qinian yelled with gritted teeth:

Don't waste your life so much! I don't want to kill so many people!

Don't think about it, thief!

Zhang Mingyi also roared:

Get off the horse and surrender quickly! I will spare you!

Mad! A group of cowards who were scared by the Tartars to the south! They only pretended to be in front of the common people. Why weren’t they so tough in front of the Tartars back then?

Wang Qinian scolded:

Three thousand stones of grain, don’t want the money. If I don’t agree, I will slaughter you!

A bunch of horse thieves dare to call themselves ordinary people!s1;

Zhang Mingyi shook his sleeves and went straight into the cabin, no longer talking nonsense to Wang Qinian.

Dog officials are looking for death!

Wang Qinian was completely angry.

Since the oil and salt are not in, then there is only one to fight!

Brothers! Skip the guys! Do business!

Wang Qinian roared:

Just hit that ship! Catch the dog official!

He refers to the canal ship that Zhang Mingyi had just stood.

Huha!!!

The thief does not like to chew tough problems, but once the boss decides to fight, everyone will not retreat at all.

The rumbling sound of horse hooves sounded, and other horse thieves who had been hiding behind were coming.

Perhaps because he heard Wang Qinian's shouting, the ships around Zhang Mingyi began to flee in all directions.

These cowards don't seem to want to be implicated by Zhang Mingyi, who is as hard as a stone.

But there were also several ships who quickly moved closer to Zhang Mingyi - these people were probably Zhang Mingyi himself, or the Wen family's servants, and they could not see the adults' transfer problems with Qi Sheng.

The characteristic of canal boats is that they will not leave the two sides of the river too far, because it is not convenient to pull the fiber when they are far away. After the horse thieves approach the river bank, they dismounted and ran forward a few steps. Taking advantage of the situation of dismounting and rushing forward, they threw the ropes that flew to Zhang Mingyi's boat.

This trick is an old way for horse thieves to intercept canal boats, and it is almost impossible to miss it. Zhang Mingyi's boat was caught by three flying horses. Several horse thieves immediately tied the other end of the flying horse to the horse, then urged the horse and dragged Zhang Mingyi's boat to the riverside.

Several Zhang Mingyi's guards shouted and rushed out, and used their swords and axes to cut the ropes desperately.

Two ropes were quickly cut off, but the horse thief shot arrows on the shore. The three guards were caught in arrows and the other horse thieves threw more flying catches, with more than ten densely packed. One of them even hooked the shoulders of a Zhang Mingyi's guard. When the horse thief urged the horse, the guard was pulled out of the boat screaming and dragged it across dozens of steps, and dragged it from the canal to the shore.

After being dragged all the way in the water, the guard had lost most of his life and even his screams became much smaller. Several horse thieves stepped forward, cut off the guard's head with their waist knife, and then picked up the head with their spear.

kill!!!

Wang Qinian shouted frantically, and dozens of horse-mounted thieves worked hard with their horses and quickly dragged the boat to the shore.

The others wade directly into the water and rushed towards Zhang Mingyi's ship.

A figure wearing a little white-haired coarse cloth dress appeared on the bow of the ship. It was an old man with white beard.

He stood there without any obstacles, shooting at the horse thief with a hard bow.

A series of beaded arrows flew over, and the three horse-mounted thieves were caught in arrows in their chests, and they screamed and fell into the water.

The hero of the Yellow River!
