"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 616
When the southern army commanded by Li Hong stormed Xitian Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, and both sides killed corpses all over the field and blood flowed like rivers, a nobleman ushered in a small fishing village in Jiangbei province.
The Qinghe Army has gradually taken control of most prefectures and counties in Jiangbei Province, and the New Deal has been rolled out.
However, the problem of food shortage was always the top problem that troubled Chen Ziang, forcing him to launch a campaign to the south.
The Qinghe army suddenly went south and invaded the Jiangnan province, and won a lot of money and food after a series of battles.
These money and food were transported day and night by the captives, and a large amount was transported to Jiangbei Province, which relieved the urgent need of the Qinghe Army.
But now this transportation channel is blocked, and a large number of southern military ships are swimming on the Dongjiang River, blocking various ferries and cutting off the transportation channel.
At the same time, the Qinghe army's troops entering the Jiangnan province were also cut off, and became a lone army.
Although Chen Ziang got in touch with Yuan Jie, the deputy commander of the army through the intelligence investigation department, and knew that the Qinghe Army in Jiangnan province was safe for the time being, but the food transportation channel was cut off, which made Chen Ziang realize the importance of the navy fleet.
The strength of the Southern Army Navy Fleet is not many, and there are only more than 300 ships and more than 30,000 troops at full strength.
Most of these more than 300 boats are small boats, less than 50 boats cost 1,000 boats, and only two big boats cost 3,000 boats.
Most of the more than 30,000 Southern Army and Navy soldiers were stationed in various ports, and less than one-third of them were able to fight on board.
Just such a small-scale and low-combat navy fleet left the Qinghe army helpless.
Chen Ziang also knew that the Southern Army had a navy fleet, but he underestimated the role of the opponent.
Now facing these naval fleets that blocked the Dongjiang River, Chen Zi'ang wished to wipe them all out.
It's a pity that my subordinates are all generals who charge forward on land. Once on the ship, it would be good if they don't get seasick, let alone fight.
In order to open up the connection with Jiangnan Province as soon as possible, Chen Zi'ang must destroy the southern army and navy fleet.
But they don't have any generals who can fight in water, not to mention, they don't even have ships and sailors.
"As soon as possible, form a navy fleet belonging to our Qinghe Army."
Facing the problem before him, Chen Zi'ang also immediately proposed the decision to form a navy fleet.
Wanting to form a brand new army, Chen Ziang couldn't do it himself, because he was busy.
Therefore, there must be a general who understands water warfare in charge, but there is no such candidate in the Second Army.
When the Department of Intelligence and Investigation reported that a former naval officer of the Southern Army Navy Fleet lived in a fishing village in Jiangbei Province, Chen Ziang immediately decided to invite him out of the mountain himself.
This former Southern Army navy general is called Hong Bo, who was born in a fisherman's family, and later joined the Southern Army navy.
Because of his meritorious service in suppressing the bandits, he was promoted step by step to become a general, but then a water bandit attacked the smuggling fleet of a senior official in Jiangnan Province.
The official was furious, saying that the navy fleet was not good for suppressing bandits, and Hong Bo, the general, was pushed out and framed by his colleagues from those aristocratic families, and became a scapegoat, almost losing his head.
In the end, he spent all his family wealth to save his life, but his fate was not much better, and he was directly dismissed and became a fisherman.
Hong Bo became a soldier of the Southern Army Navy at the age of eighteen. He is now in his fifties, and spent most of his youth in the Southern Army Navy.
But now he has become a scapegoat, with no money or money. One can imagine the depression in his heart, so after returning home, besides fishing and drinking, his temperament has changed drastically.
When Chen Ziang suddenly descended on this remote small fishing village, the fishermen in the small fishing village were also terrified.
They looked at the soldiers of the Qinghe Army who surrounded the fishing village with fear on their faces, for fear that these tough soldiers would kill them.
Chen Zi'ang's personal guards are all elites selected from various troops. It can be said that each of them crawled out of the dead.
Not only are they loyal to Chen Ziang, but they are also extremely tough in combat.
Facing such a large group of uninvited guests appearing in their small fishing village, the panic of the fishermen can be imagined.
"I don't know if you military lords came to our village, you are far away from welcoming them. Please make amends."
An elderly man in the fishing village had to stand in the face of the Qinghe army guards who surrounded the fishing village.Come to contact Chen Ziang and the others.
"We are here to find someone."
Seeing this trembling old man, Du Jian, the captain of the personal guard, said.
"I don't know who the military master is looking for?"
When the old man heard that someone was looking for someone, his heart skipped a beat, thinking who offended them, so don't bring disaster to their village.
"Hong Bo, I heard that he lives in your village?"
Chen Ziang looked away from the dilapidated houses in the fishing village, and spoke lightly.
"Mr. Jun, there is indeed a man named Hong Bo in our village, but he has become a drunk now. If there is something that offends you, Mr. Jun, please forgive me."
While the old man was talking, he waved his hands to the back, and several young men with panicked faces came forward carrying a box.
"You military lords have worked hard all the way, this is a little respect from our village, and please don't dislike it, military lords."
The box was full of copper coins, which the fishing village had already prepared to deal with officers, soldiers and water bandits.
They rely on boxes of copper coins to keep their fishing village safe and sound.
"Let's take the money back, we're only looking for Hong Bo."
Seeing these poor fishermen, Chen Ziang waved his hand.
"We asked him to become an official, so you don't have to be afraid." Chen Ziang added.
After hearing this, the old man and the young man behind him breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Go and call Hong Bo here." The old man ordered a young man.
After the young man responded, he rushed back to the village.
Not long after, a sloppy middle-aged man with disheveled hair reeking of alcohol was dragged out of the village.
"You are Hong Bo?"
Seeing this slovenly middle-aged man reeking of alcohol, Chen Ziang couldn't help frowning, which was far from what he had expected.
"I am Hong Bo, what are you looking for from me?"
Hong Bo glanced at Chen Ziang and the others carelessly, and asked neither humble nor overbearing.
"I am Chen Ziang, the Hussar General of the Second Army of the Qinghe Army." Chen Ziang took the initiative to introduce himself.
When he heard that the person standing in front of him turned out to be the famous Chen Ziang, Hong Bo's eyes flashed an undisguised light.
Now that the Qinghe Army is fighting the Southern Army, if he kills Chen Ziang, it will be a great achievement.
At that time, maybe not only will he be able to return to his original post, but he will also be able to be promoted to a higher level.
However, seeing the murderous guards beside Chen Ziang, and thinking about the corruption within the Southern Army, he quickly dispelled his sudden thoughts.
"Have you ever served as a general of the Southern Army and Navy?"
"So what¡ª"
"Our Qinghe army wants to form a navy fleet, and I hope you can come out and help me." Chen Ziang said bluntly.
"I'm just a fisherman now, and I don't want to fight any more. You should hire someone else."
After hearing Chen Ziang's explanation of his intention, Hong Bo refused without thinking.
There is no other reason. The Qinghe army is a bandit army announced by the court. If he joins the bandit army, the whole family will probably be affected as well.
He has no official and no wealth now, and the only one he can rely on is his family. He doesn't want his family to live in fear all day long.
