Chapter 290

More than 20 bird boats of more than 800 Ming army officers and soldiers were riding along the coastline to the Qing army's green camp station.

Several Qing army prisoners who led the team had obviously completely surrendered to the Ming army and pointed out the direction for the Ming army on the deck of a bird boat.

The navy Zuozhen Town general Zhao Zhen watched as the vanguard fleet gradually submerged into the white fog.

"Sir, if there were no artillery support on the Navy warship, it would be difficult to easily defeat the Qing army with General Yang and his left and right battalions!" Wang An, the land war camp, looked at the last bird ship sinking into the white mist and spoke.

"It's just eight hundred Qing troops, why can't our Ming army attack without firearms?" Li Zhen sneered, holding deep hostility towards these Ming people in Jiading.

As dawn came, the thick fog gradually dissipated.

The surging waves kept hitting the cliffs and splashed one wave after another.

A Qing army general stood on the edge of the cliff with a serious expression and stared at the sea in the distance.

The salty and wet sea breeze mixed with the sea water rushed towards him, which had already soaked his armor.

Drops of sea water kept flowing down from the gaps of his armor.

"Sir, there are great winds and waves on the cliff. Please move quickly."

Several big men not far away were walking towards this side with a bucket carrying a pole. Seeing the general standing alone by the cliff, he quickly spoke.

Bian Youluan looked at the dark sea and sky in the distance and sighed.

It has been five or six days since the Yazhou Water Camp fleet went to sea.

"Master Huang is a good person and he has a heavenly appearance, and the Dragon King of the Sea cannot take him away." A big man smiled when he saw the man walking down.

Bian Youluan nodded and signaled everyone to leave first.

The leader of the sergeant bowed to the adults by the cliff and took everyone away.

"This is not certain. The fisherman who went out to sea two days ago salvaged a few of our brother's bodies." A man saw the garrison looking at the cliff alone and muttered in a low voice.

"It's really strange. Why did the county magistrate insist that those merchants have an affair with foreign vassals?" Another man murmured in a low voice.

"If the county master had not ordered a ban on trade, which would prevent vegetables and fruits from being transported in, we wouldn't have to carry water to water the ground early in the morning." Several big men shook their heads, carried buckets and walked towards the fence wall in the distance.

Several big men were talking and laughing and carrying buckets through the fence wall, and several fields appeared in front of them.

In the huge field, more than a dozen men were busy working in the fields.

But they are not growing rice, but some vegetables.

From time to time, a group of Qing soldiers holding big swords and spears walked past outside the fence.

"The rain was too heavy a few days ago, and the seedlings were broken a lot." A man panted and put down the wooden barrel, picked up the spoon and spooned a bowl and started drinking.

"Go and go, don't waste water, this water is the stream that our brother took out from the mountain stream more than ten miles away." The man in the armor in the lead quickly scolded.

The man who was scolded had to put down Mu Lai and glanced at the commander with a resentful look on his face.

"Just like this broken ground can drink the stream water from the mountain stream, we can only drink rain water." The man said with dissatisfaction.

"What do you know? All the vegetables and vegetables that our brothers in Yazhou camp want to eat in a year. If they are destroyed by our brothers, the whole brothers in the camp will let us go?" the sergeant in the armor cursed.

Among the group, only he was wearing armor and the rest were all wearing zither clothes.

Obviously, although it has already begun to spring, the island is still full of biting cold wind.

Then the sergeant's teeth were trembling when he spoke.

"Sir, sir..." The seven or eight men present changed their expressions and quickly lowered their heads.

I saw the guard who came down from the cliff and came to them at some point.

"Greetings to the garrison." The sergeant quickly clasped his fists.

Bian Youluan ignored the few people, but glanced around and couldn't help but frown.

"It's just now that spring is coming, why does the vegetable fields look like this?" Bian Youluan looked at the messy vegetable fields in front of him and said angrily.

"Sir, it just rained a few days ago, and with this climate, most of the vegetable seedlings that just went down died." The sergeant shook his head helplessly.

"Our brothers also tried their best. They set out for more than ten miles on the third day to get live water from the mountain stream and water it every day, so that they could feed these vegetable seedlings." Several men quickly agreed.

Bian Youluan's face was better.

It’s no wonder that these brothers who get up early and go to bed late, the land beside the beach is already barren.

I searched for more than half a year before I found these pieces of food, but after a heavy rain, my efforts were almost completely ruined.

"Sir, our brothers in Luying have not tasted fruits and vegetables for more than a month. When will the county bring vegetables?" the sergeant tentatively said.

Bian Youluan just glanced at the vegetable field, "Yazhou is already barren, and all the vegetables and grains have to be transported from the north. It's good to support a brother in a camp, and it also transports fruits and vegetables. Don't you know that a pound of fruits and vegetables is worth three pounds of rice?" Bian Youluan angrily scolded several people.

"Sir, those merchants sent us food and fruits every month, but the county magistrate said that these merchants had an affair with foreign vassals, which caused the entire battalion to have not seen fruits and vegetables for more than a month, and we were almost vomiting when eating fish." For a moment, more than ten people gathered around and complained to Youluan on the side.

These people's faces were full of fancy colors. If these soldiers were not wearing titular clothes, and even some patrol soldiers came here, they wouldn't have seen that this was actually the Green Camp in Yazhou.

"Brothers, we have been guarding this island for several years. We have persisted in the poverty-stricken days on this island. A few vendors have sent fruits and vegetables for several months. We still don't believe that we can't keep them without these fruits and vegetables." Bian Youluan spitted and said fiercely.

Seeing the garrison speak, the soldiers present instantly lost their temper, and they will go to the patrol where they should farm and the patrol where they should patrol.

"Sir, have those fleeing vendors caught?" Seeing that the soldiers present dispersed, the sergeant stepped forward and asked.

Bian Youluan shook her head, and her face turned a little ugly again.

The officers and soldiers of Yazhou Camp basically do not go out to sea on weekdays, but in order to capture these fleeing vendors, Yazhou Camp directly sent two large ships, and more than one hundred officers and soldiers went out to sea, but there was no news yet.

Of course, many people said that the fleet encountered the storm and went to see the Sea Dragon King.

Especially the fisherman who went out to sea to fish a few days ago actually salvaged a few words of Qing army corpses and ship wreckage, deepening this conjecture.

"These damn vendors lent us food, but they ended up secretly investigating the defense in the army. They really got the courage of the bear heart and leopard." The sergeant cursed.

"This matter is rotten in my stomach. If the prefect knows that the report is reported, we can't afford to leave." Bian Youluan suddenly showed a fierce look on his face and glared at the sergeant fiercely.

"The villain understands." The sergeant nodded in fear.

A few miles away from the vegetable garden is Yazhou Camp.

Although there are 800 people in the Yazhou Camp, half of them are sailors and are stationed in another place, while the Luzhou Camp is camping here. You can reach Yazhou County after half a day away from the Green Camp.
