Dajiang Meeting

The meat-eater is stronger.

Eating only rice without enough protein as a supplement cannot raise a truly elite soldier.

At least, that was until evolution evolved to pull the trigger.

Whether one can eat meat or not is actually a rigid criterion for distinguishing strong soldiers from weak brigades.

Since ancient times, the reason why the nomadic peoples in the north have had a combat advantage over the farming peoples in the south is not only because of their horses and cavalry, but also largely because the nomadic peoples grew up eating meat, while the farming peoples grew up eating meat.

Big.

Because of this, Chu Tianxiu asked Xing Rong, the temporary butler, to ensure that all the soldiers had enough meat to eat every day and make up for their physical deficiencies.

But a good woman can't make a meal without rice, so Xing Rong did try her best to support her. First, she took out all the bacon, salted fish, pigs, sheep and livestock seized from the water village.

They also occupied several refugee camps in the center of the Yangtze River and recruited a group of refugees to catch fish, shrimp, shellfish, and finless porpoises in the river, as well as birds and animals on the shore, barely filling a small part of the vacancies.

But with the huge expenditure of several thousand mouths, even if he tried his best to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, it would still be a drop in the bucket and there was no way he could not fill the big hole.

Over the years, they have chosen Hudouzhou, an island at the mouth of the Yangtze River surrounded by rivers and seas on both sides, as their nest. They are truly the dominant force in the south.

Chu Tianxiu wanted to deal with them not only because his village lacked money and food, but the Dajiang Society had been running rampant on the river for more than ten years and had accumulated countless money and food. It was really fat and worth swallowing. It was also because both of their families were on the river.

Sooner or later, you will meet someone who is looking for business.

The third is Hudouzhou in the north of the Yangtze River, which is the home base of the Dajiang Society. Over the years, the Dajiang Society has been plundering the river and committing all kinds of crimes. Naturally, it has a lot of money and food in its hands, so it can be considered a wealthy target.

It was not his fault that the hole could not be filled, it was just due to the insufficient conditions on the island. Therefore, although the food and grass situation in Zhenhai Navy was worse than he imagined, it almost disrupted his plan.

He wasn't too harsh either.

It is really difficult to plug such a big hole. Even if I take up the post at the Zhuhua Gang sub-rudder in Jiangyin County, I am afraid that I will only be able to quickly plug the food gap, but will not be able to meet the Zhenjun Navy's meat needs.

In recent days, Xingrong has been calculating the food shortage on the island every day. He has gone through this information hundreds of times in his head, and it is natural to talk about it like a treasure.

"According to your information, it seems that the two brothers Pei Yue and Pei Yan did not go out to the river together to plunder?"

When he was in Yangzhou, Chu Tianxiu asked him to join forces with Chu Zhi and Chu Li to secretly set up a micro intelligence network and obtain some valuable information.

"Jinling County, Yuhang County, and Dajianghui! Well, Lao Qi, you are really interested." Hearing this, Chu Tianxiu smiled slightly and nodded.

Chu Tianxiu couldn't help but frown, feeling a little distressed.

The second is Yuhang County in the north, which has the advantage of salt and iron and is rich in products, but it is relatively peaceful and the officers and soldiers are more powerful."

Although Chu Tianxiu organized and trained the Zhenjun Army according to the standards of training the Sui Army, after all, the Zhenjun Army had just been created and had not yet been fully formed.

"Yes, Chu Liang, how is your intelligence network going? I recently asked you to spread the intelligence network throughout the Jiangnan generation. How are you doing? Do you have a suitable target?"

The first is Jinling County to the south of us, where the Cavalrymen are now entrenched. They have repeatedly provoked the government and caused a lot of trouble, but the government is unable to suppress it. Naturally, it will not take a lot of effort to plunder, but it is also because of the Cavalrymen.

, which makes the people's livelihood there poor and there is not much money and food.

Chu Liang has only initially established an intelligence network, and there is still no way to get the core information of the surrounding forces, but at least some explicit information can be collected after all.

"So, we need to do some big business. Otherwise, we won't be able to fill so many mouths."

The worst thing is that we have almost bought up all the food and meat in Hudouzhou and the nearby coastal villages. If we forcefully buy more, it will cut off their livelihood."

Not long after, a young man who was short, clean and restrained, fair and lean, and looked shrewd and capable came in. He stood beside Chu Tianxiu with his hands hanging down.

It is easy to tell whether a person has worked hard or not. Chu Tianxiu naturally knows that his brother has indeed tried his best.

The navy in his town was newly established, and he had to find a valuable prey to gnaw on. Naturally, he had to choose the target for his first battle.

"Brother, I've done some research recently, and there are about three suitable targets.

So after he captured Qinglong Village, he began to organize and allocate some manpower, money and food to him, so that he could form a real intelligence agency. Now it was a small test, and it was time to really test his abilities.

After Chu Tianxiu nodded, he turned his head to the side,

Chu Liang is also one of Chu Tianxiu's fifteen attendants.

It is not so much an army now, it can only be regarded as a large bandit like a water village in Liangshan. Moreover, it is still the same Lin Chong who did not go up the mountain. When Wang Lun was in charge, Liangshan could not be self-sufficient.

But he is thoughtful and capable, making him a good candidate for establishing an intelligence organization.

"Our town's navy now has 2,400 soldiers, 800 fishermen, women, children, old and weak, etc. We need about 2,000 shi of food and 30,000 jins of meat every month.

Now we have only 3,000 dan of grain in hand, three cattle, five pigs, and sixty fish, which is completely insufficient for the army.

There are three things a new official should do when he takes office.

In this case, just thinking about the right way is not enough to suppress the navy. If you really want to persist in suppressing the navy, you have to do something to do something for heaven, robbing the rich and giving to the poor. Only then can you ensure that

The only way to keep the navy alive.

"Xing Rong, I know about this. Okay, just wait a moment. I'll find Chu Liang first and then we'll discuss it further."

"I already know the situation on the island. You can tell me how much food the army is short of now. If you have any solutions in your mind, you can tell me."

If you strike first and deal with Dajiang earlier, you will have less trouble in the future.

After Chu Tianxiu thought for a while, he waved to Duan Yucheng, who was guarding the door, and asked him to help find the person.

Chu Tianxiu's eyes flashed, and he made up his mind and chose the target of this "hunting".

The Gang of Dajianghui is actually a group of water bandits who have been running rampant in Dajiang for more than ten years and have been surrounded and suppressed by the court many times, but they have always been able to do nothing. They just use the name of a gang.

He just thought about it briefly and gave Chu Tianxiu three places to attack.

If he doesn't think of a good solution, then he may have to reduce the cost of suppressing the navy at the expense of reducing the combat effectiveness of the suppressing navy.

Under Chu Tianxiu's order, Chu Liang directed all the intelligence forces he had established towards the Dajiang Society. However, within three days, more detailed information was passed to Chu Tianxiu.

He said in a soft and respectful voice: "Master, Brother Rong, you are looking for me, I don't know what orders you have."

His talent in martial arts is not comparable to that of Chu Ren and Chu Qian, so although he can be considered diligent in his daily martial arts training, now he is only at the level of a third-rate martial artist, and is inconspicuous among those fifteen people.

If we attack Jinling and the counties, towns and villages around Hangzhou, it will always be meaningless to bully the poor and weak. However, it is neither the right time nor the strength to directly attack the nearby states and counties, so the last target is Dajiang.

Yes, it became Chu Tianxiu’s best choice.

The Dajiang Society, like the Zhuhua Gang, is one of the eight gangs and ten guilds. It is also famous in the world. However, unlike the Zhuhua Gang, which is rooted in counties near Yangzhou and mainly engages in smuggling business, the Dajiang Society specializes in robberies on the river.

They make a living by plundering, and they can almost be regarded as the biggest thieves on the waterways in the Yangtze River region.

The leader and deputy leader of this gang are 'Dragon Lord' Pei Yue and 'Tiger Lord' Pei Yan, a pair of brothers. They are both notoriously ruthless and ruthless. In general, not many ships on the river have been targeted by them.

Can survive intact.

"Okay, thank you. Since there is not enough money and food in the village, let's go to Naonuo Dajianghui and borrow some "money and food" from him. After all, as fellow Jianghu fellows, they won't refuse to give you this little face.

"

After Chu Tianxiu heard the information, he immediately grasped the key points in the information and immediately asked.

"Yes, over the years, Dajiang has been plundering on the river. Unless there are some big goals, such as plundering the imperial court's silver and grain ships, and the two brothers work together, usually one person is in charge of the plundering, and the other stays behind.

Hu Douzhou’s lair, lest other water thieves target their family assets and steal the Dajiang Club’s home.”

Chu Liang seemed to have understood the information thoroughly and answered directly without thinking.

Chu Tianxiu's eyes lit up slightly, feeling that this seemed to be an opportunity, and he slowly considered it in his mind.
