From Propulsion City To Multiverse

Knowing that the main force of the Haisha Gang, Hao Jian, who was fighting against the Jukun Gang, quickly made a decision. Although Yangzhou is not far from Taihu Lake, there is even a Grand Canal connecting it, so the waterway is very convenient.

But at this time, the Haisha Gang and the Jukun Gang were fighting on the river in the Zhenjiang area.

Once Han Gaitian finds out that the sub-helm on Yangzhou's side has been compromised, he will definitely not care about chasing and killing the giant kun gang, and will immediately turn his guns and kill back to Yangzhou.

third day.

Hao Jian completely took down the Yangzhou branch of the Haisha Gang, and captured more than 1,500 people. Among them, 577 people were taken in, and 709 people were included in the redemption camp. The others were all heinous. cut directly.

In addition, 22 Mengchong boats, 8 boarding boats, 5 guerrilla boats, 5 small fishing boats, and 58 flat-bottomed sand boats were also seized.

There are also 7,790 stones of grain, 486 stones of sea salt, 237 pieces of linen, 86 pieces of silk, 5,200 catties of iron, 9,736 copper coins, 176 catties of silver, and 9 catties of gold.

A batch of various weapons and armor can arm about 2,500 people.

Robbery is indeed the fastest way to get money, after all, it is a one-shot deal. .

On Zheng Sen's side, all the four small gangs were also transferred out of Yangzhou City, and came to the Haisha Gang stronghold near Yangzhou City.

The moon and stars are sparse, and in hot and dry May, not only is it hot, but it rains continuously in various places in the south of the Yangtze River.

This stronghold is a water village hidden in the reeds and tidal flats. At this time, except for a dozen members of the Black Guards, most of Zheng Sen's subordinates are concentrated here.

Inside the big log cabin.

Whether it is Huang Dabiao or Lin Sandao, there is a feeling of disbelief at this moment.

In just a few days, they devoured nearly one-fifth of the strength of the Haisha Gang. This was something they had never imagined before, and it also made them even more in awe of Zheng Sen and others.

Inside the cabin.

Bai Yulou said with some helplessness: Guangzhu, 600 recruits have been integrated, but the combat power is probably about the same as that of the peasant uprising army.

Zheng Sen was very clear about this, just this kind of street bastards and prisoners of the Haisha Gang, if it weren't for the coercion of the life and death talisman, these guys would have escaped a long time ago.

Zheng Sen comforted with a smile: Yulou, it doesn't matter, as long as you can steer the boat, don't count on them in the initial battle.

Immediately Hao Jian stood up: Master, Han Gaitian is not in Yangzhou, but went to Zhenjiang to chase the giant kun gang, I think it is possible to directly occupy the magpie's nest.

He spread out a map on the table.

Pointing to the position on the north side of the Yangtze River Estuary, this position is a sandbar with a length of 40 kilometers from east to west and a width of 17 kilometers from north to south, with a land area of ​​about 500 square kilometers.

Zheng Sen recognized this place at a glance: Hu Douzhou?

Yes, this is Hu Douzhou. It used to be the site of the Jukun Gang, but now it is occupied by the Haisha Gang.

In fact, from the names, one can know that the Haisha Gang and the Jukun Gang are not pure inland river gangs, but involve the outer seas.

According to Hao Jian's investigation results, the main rudder of the Haisha Gang is in Haizhongzhou, also known as Yongdong, which is the Zhoushan Islands in later generations.

The chief rudder of the Giant Kun Gang is located in Hu Douzhou, Hu Dou is also called Hu Dou, that is, Broad Bean, and its location is in Nantong in later generations.

As for places like Chongming Island, Nantong, Yancheng, Lianyungang, and Shanghai, they are still soaking in the sea.

In other words, the coastline of the Sui Dynasty was actually near Taizhou.

Zheng Sen looked at the map intently. The area of ​​Hudouzhou is not small, about 500 square kilometers, and they are all impact sandbars suitable for farming. The land is very fertile.

Even if we want to avoid soil erosion, we can only reclaim one-tenth of it, which is an area of ​​50 square kilometers, or 75,000 mu.

Calculated according to the rice yield of about 100 kilograms per mu in this era, considering that only one season of rice can be grown in the south of the Yangtze River, 75,000 mu of farmland can produce about 7.5 million kilograms of grain per year, which is equivalent to 140,000 shi (1 shi in the Sui Dynasty was equal to 53 kilograms).

Of course, this is the annual output under ideal conditions.

Obviously, in reality, it is impossible to be so smooth. In ancient agricultural production, it really depended on the sky.

Hu Douzhou didn't need to worry about irrigation. The only thing he needed to consider was the typhoon.

Zheng Sen looked at Haizhongzhou on the south side again. The land area of ​​this archipelago is about 1300 square kilometers, which is much larger than Huduzhou.

However, the arable land resources in the Zhoushan Islands are scarce. Even if it is to be developed, it can only reclaim an area of ​​20-30 square kilometers at most, and only mulberry and cash crops can be planted.

No wonder the Haisha Gang moved the main rudder there immediately after they captured Hudouzhou, obviously because they took a fancy to Hudouzhou's fertile land and abundant water and heat conditions.

Zheng Sen made a decisive decision: I decided to take the capture of Hu Douzhou as a small goal in the first stage. Hao Jian, you should strengthen the intelligence incidents in Yangzhou and Zhenjiang.

pass it to me.

Yulou, early tomorrow morning, you will bring 300 people and 15 Mengchongs, pretending to be members of the Haisha Gang, and directly capture the main rudder of the Haisha Gang, and I will arrive with the old and the weak.

Bai Yulou immediately saluted and replied, Obey!

Nothing to say all night.

The next day, as soon as the fish belly turned white in the east, Baiyulou led the crew to sail the boat down the river, passing through a section of the Grand Canal, and then entering the mouth of the Yangtze River, which has a wider water surface.

In less than four hours, with the help of the river, they arrived at the main rudder of the Haisha Gang in Huduzhou.

The chief rudder of the Haisha Gang was the former chief rudder of the Jukun Gang. It is a small town with a population of more than 8,000, located on the south side of Huduzhou.

At this time, Han Batian, the deputy head of the Haisha Gang, was eating, drinking and having fun in the city.

One of his subordinates hurried in: Hoo hoo... the deputy gang leader, the Yangzhou sub-rudder escorted a batch of iron and cloth back, and there is also a message from the gang leader.

Han Batian scratched his head: Brother's message? Could it be that there is something wrong with the Jukun Gang? Hurry up and call the messenger to come to the lobby.

Little one, let's go.

Ten minutes later.

After tidying up his face and clothes, Han Batian met Bai Yulou who delivered the letter in the lobby.

You are... Seeing Bai Yulou with a strange face, Han Batian showed a little hesitation.

Bai Yulou yelled in a low voice: Han Batian, you can catch him if you don't let go...

The true energy in the throat merged with the voice, and the voice suddenly hit Han Batian's eardrum like a heavy hammer.

puff! Han Batian vomited blood as if struck by lightning.

A silver light flashed.

The head rolled in the air, and the blood was like a fountain.

Han Batian collapsed with regret, and the surrounding Haisha gang were also affected by the sound waves, and they all fell to the ground with a splitting headache and rolled on the ground.

Only two gang members who were relatively far away woke up from their astonishment.

Come on man...

Pu Chi... Pu Chi...

Two life and death talisman ice needles were inserted into the chests of the two people, and they were itchy all over for a moment.

With 300 people, Bai Yulou directly defeated the Haisha Gang in the city and in the water village, and then quickly led 100 of them to take down Xitian Township and East Salt Fort in Hudouzhou.

Around two o'clock at noon, Zheng Sen and others brought everyone to Hudouzhou.

With the arrival of this batch of support, the control of the entire Hudouzhou has been further strengthened.

The next step is to hold a complaint meeting, liquidate the villains, and integrate the prisoners.

The influence of the Haisha Gang in Hudouzhou was uprooted by Zheng Sen and others, and hundreds of people were directly killed.

But for this big cleansing, many ordinary people on the island did not have much reaction, because they were also oppressed by the Haisha Gang, and many of them were captured members of the Giant Kun Gang.

People in troubled times are like worthless people, and many people have long been used to it.
