Abandoned Prince Survival Guide

Xiao Yu smiled wryly: "Yes, if I hadn't been forced to be helpless, I would really like to be a rich and carefree man."

"I also just want to be a happy and happy king. You can tell by my name." Speaking of this, Xiao Yao suddenly slapped the table hard, and said angrily, "The dog thief Xiao Yi, the young master will guard the gate for him , He actually wanted my young master's life, I'm so angry! He even teamed up with Hu Gou to kill so many of my brothers! I'm going to keep my eyes open and wait to see how those Hu Gou deal with Xiao Yi's thieves! "

Xiao Yu sighed: "I just feel sorry for the people of Li."

"A dog thief is not worthy of being an emperor! I think the father is also delusional, and he actually chose that dog thief as the prince, and finally died for no reason, which is considered retribution!" Xiao Yao cursed his own father without any pressure at all, "It's a pity that the country that our ancestors brought down was completely defeated by this dog thief."

Pei Linzhi said: "My lord, don't worry, sooner or later, he will take it back."

Xiao Yao turned to look at Pei Linzhi: "Mr. Pei, thank you for taking care of my brother."

Pei Linzhi said: "This is my duty, you don't have to be polite, my lord."

After dinner, Xiao Yu, Pei Linzhi, Min Chong, Xiao Yao and others got together to study the next battle plan.

Min Chong led [-] navy troops to support Yazhou, and Li Xian, a general under King Liang, led [-] troops to capture Xuwen and cut off the nearest supply route for Jiaozhou navy.

After making a careful marching plan, Min Chong counted the number of people and was ready to go again.

Xiao Yu said: "Will it be unsafe to travel in the starry night? Or wait for the dawn."

Min Chong looked up at the starry sky: "Mr. Don't worry, for us sailors, the road signs are all in the sky. As long as there are stars, we will not get lost. In comparison, it is safer to travel by sea at night than by land. too much."

Xiao Yu said, "That's good. Be careful."

Min Chong said: "I can save it. In fact, we are fine, but Mr. Jiao, Jiaozhou will attack at any time, you must pay attention to safety. It may not be as late as Mr. Lang, and it is a pity."

Xiao Yao said: "Then you go and come back quickly, maybe you can catch up with my brother's enthronement ceremony."

Min Chong smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Regardless of Xiao Yu's original plan, proclaiming himself emperor is inevitable.

Pei Linzhi hurriedly arranged for people to prepare for the ceremony, and called all the embroiderers in Yazhou to make uniforms for Xiao Yu.

It's too late to make a dragon robe, so I can only keep everything simple, but even if it is simple, there must be at least one dragon pattern.

On the second day after Min Chong left, the Jiaozhou navy arrived. There were more than 50 warships lined up outside the harbor in the north of Yazhou. It seemed that all the Jiaozhou navy had been dispatched.Preliminary estimates are that nearly [-] people came.

The seagoing ships in Yazhou had already been dispersed by Pei Linzhi, most of them went to the northeast sea to wait to meet Min Chong, and there was not a single ship in the port.

Only an archery force of thousands of people was stationed at the port.In addition to the common bows and arrows, the bow and arrow troops also have bed crossbows.

The bed crossbow was remade after repeated tests by Xiao Yu and Pei Linzhi. Its shooting range is three to four times that of the bow and arrow, and can reach about 600 meters. It is still far from the 500-meter bed crossbow of the Song Dynasty, but it is enough.

Knowing that this battle was inevitable, Xiao Yu began to seriously consider designing weapons.Guns are too difficult to manufacture, but the bed crossbow with greater lethality can be tried.

In fact, both Yazhou Army and Jiaozhou are the people of Anguo, Xiao Yu doesn't want to kill each other.But now that the Yazhou Army is threatened, he has to be biased, after all, there is a difference between closeness and estrangement.

The Jiaozhou navy tried to land at the port, but as soon as it got closer, it was shot by a bed crossbow.

The Jiaozhou navy was taken aback by the sudden arrows. They were still more than a mile away from the port, which was definitely a safe distance in normal times. As long as they were close to the port, with the help of the archers on board, they could gain a chance to land.

But now that they are still so far away from the coast, the Yazhou army can shoot them, and they still shoot them with several arrows. It is not a marksman shooting, but some kind of magic weapon with great lethality.

The Jiaozhou navy reacted very quickly, and quickly retreated half a mile.

Zhou Guanying, the general of the Jiaozhou Navy, hurriedly called a meeting with his colleagues: "The rebels really turned against each other, and they set up a strong crossbow at the port. We can't land, we need to land in another place."

At this time, a soldier came to report: "Report—general, just now the Liehu received a letter from a bow and arrow."

"Present it." Zhou Guanying said.

The sergeant handed over the letter. Zhou Guanying opened it and was very surprised. It was not a letter written on silk cloth, but a milky white paper that he had never seen before.The paper is dense and uniform, full of tenacity, and the ink does not smudge on the paper at all, which is actually the best paper.

The letter was written by Xiao Yu himself, and he wrote it in a polite manner, saying that he did not want to stop this battle because he would involve the lives of many soldiers. Law, and promised to protect his life safety.

After reading the letter, Zhou Guanying sneered: "This Xiaoyu boy is so naive, he thinks that Zhou is a boy with a yellow mouth, and he won't hurt me if he says he hurts me? If he really doesn't want to fight, he should take the initiative to get on the boat and let me tie him up and punish him." , rather than throwing a crossbow to 'meet' us."

All the subordinates circulated the letter one after another, and someone noticed the specialness of the letter paper: "I don't know what kind of paper is used, but I have never seen it before."

Zhou Guanying snorted coldly: "I think it's a tribute from the palace, but after being relegated to this point, life is still so extravagant. No wonder you want to rebel and not be the emperor, how can you have such enjoyment. Change the location, Captain Chen, and lead a ship to find a suitable place to land. Location."

"Yes!" The captain surnamed Chen took the order and went.

Xiao Yu never expected that he would attract such slander for using the latest paper produced by Zhifang.Perhaps Zhou Guanying would never have imagined that even their emperor would not need this paper.

Xiao Yu discussed with Pei Linzhi: "Where do you think the Jiaozhou Navy will land?"

Pei Linzhi said: "It is possible to disembark from Baisha Village or Shenglong Bay, or it may be a village in the north."

Xiao Yu said: "Have you greeted the surrounding people? Once a strange navy lands, you must not resist."

After all, the Jiaozhou navy is also a soldier of Anguo, not a bandit soldier, so it is impossible to embarrass the people of Yazhou.

Pei Linzhi said: "I've already ordered you to go on, don't resist and don't help."

King Liang walked back and forth, turned around and said, "Brother Huang, let me fight. If they dare to go ashore, I will let them come and go."

Xiao Yu said: "Guan Shan and General Luo have already led troops to wait outside the city. You should stay in the city well."

Liang Wang said: "I also want to go. I have been holding back for a long time without winning a battle. I must win a game."

Pei Linzhi said: "My lord, don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities to fight in the future."

General Luo under King Liang took thousands of archers to garrison at the northern harbor, waiting for the Jiaozhou navy to land.

Guan Shan brought 2000 troops to lurk in the area of ​​Shenglong Bay in Baisha Village. In addition, he arranged for Liu Ying, the captain of the Yazhou garrison school, to lead [-] troops to station on the northeast coast of Yazhou.

Pei Lin's relatives led three thousand recruits to garrison in Yazhou City.

Now all the people in Yazhou are soldiers, and the old and children who can't hold swords and guns are also Xiao Yu's scouts. As soon as the Jiaozhou navy appears, they will be discovered immediately, and the information points of the villages will be notified, and then quickly sent to Yazhou Junzhong and Xiao Yu are here.

If the Jiaozhou Navy wants to land from Zhulu County instead of being near and far away, then the Yazhou Army can wait for the Jiaozhou Navy to come to attack the city.

Of course, at this time, the Guangzhou navy led by Min Chong should have arrived, captured the warships of the Jiaozhou Army, and cut off their retreat. The Jiaozhou Army, which lacks food and grass, does not know how long it can last in Yazhou unless they grab food locally. .

So now they are not afraid that the Jiaozhou Navy will not land, but they are afraid that they will not land.

The Jiaozhou navy searched for several landing points, and finally decided to land in a village called Yeqing.

As the name suggests, Yeqing Village is full of coconut trees. The village used to be very poor, but now the conditions of the village have improved a lot, because the oil shop in the city collects coconuts to extract oil, and every year when the coconuts are harvested, every family can eat earn a fortune.

In addition to coconuts, Yeqing Village is now more famous for its salt fields, and the government chose Yeqing Village as the location for drying the salt.

At the end of last year, Xiao Yu pardoned the prisoners, and most of the petty criminals were released. Only a few serious criminals were still in custody, and they were sent to the salt fields to dry salt.

The villagers in Yeqing Village do not dry salt, but the government has requisitioned their beaches and pays a rental fee every year. Relying on the dividends from this lease, the living conditions of the villagers have been greatly improved.

Because the Jiaozhou Navy came to commit crimes, the prisoners who dried the salt were taken back to the Yazhou Prison and locked up. They will continue to dry the salt after peace.Yantian was handed over to the villagers of Yeqing to take care of them.

One day, a few villagers were stirring sea salt in the fields, and suddenly they saw a boat coming out of the sea in the distance, and then more boats appeared. Get up and run back.

Soon after, the Jiaozhou navy parked the boat on the nearby sea, put down the boats and landed one after another.

They never thought about landing at night. After all, they were not familiar with the terrain, and landing at night was more likely to be ambushed.

When the boat reached the shore, the soldiers jumped onto the shore one after another, and someone said in surprise, "What is that white flower over there?"

Someone said: "Isn't it salt?"

"How is it possible, who poured salt on the ground."

Someone ran over in person, grabbed a little bit and put it in his mouth: "Yeah, it really is salt. Is such a thick salt dried in sea water? This method is really amazing."

Soon, most of the Jiaozhou Army went ashore and lined up again.

Everyone in Yeqing Village hid in their houses and quietly watched the scene outside from the windows.

The Jiaozhou Army marched past the village. At first, there was no other sound except dogs barking and footsteps.

Suddenly, a clear and crisp child voice came out from nowhere: "Why did you come to Yazhou to fight and destroy our lives, go back!" It turned out to be an official language.

Jiaozhou Army listened, secretly surprised.

Not long after, another adult said: "We don't welcome you here, let's go!"

Some villagers seconded the proposal: "Go, go! You bad guys."

A school lieutenant shouted: "Shut up, everyone, we are Master Wang. We are here to suppress the rebels under the emperor's imperial decree. I will cut off the tongue of anyone who dares to talk nonsense again!"

"Master Wang is still cutting people's tongues, so you are not as good as the Yazhou army. Riding on the heads of the people and showing power—" The words behind were obviously muffled, but the voice was still the clear and clear child's voice before.

The school lieutenant heard the voice coming from a brick building by the side of the road. He walked over suspiciously, wanting to see what the child was talking about.

It was a school, and there were twenty or thirty children, big and small, sitting in it. A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar was covering the mouth of a boy with big eyes.

When the scholar saw the captain, he smiled contemptuously: "Master Jun, you are busy with your work. Children are ignorant, talk nonsense, if you adults don't remember the villain's faults, just pretend you didn't hear it."

The captain looked at his smiling face: "Is this a private school?"

The scholar said: "It's a school, a free school supervised by Yazhou Prefecture, for children to go to school."

The captain was surprised and said, "It's free?"

The scholar nodded: "Exactly, there are such schools in the whole Yazhou. It is for all children who are willing to go to school."

Of course, the scholar said this on purpose, in order to let Jiaozhou people know the gap between them and Yazhou.
