"Take down the river defense unit and head straight for Yangzhou along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal!”
At this moment, Zhang Mu was still in a meeting with a group of people."Then, we will discuss the next step of the battle. When we reach Yangzhou City, what kind of battle goal do we need to achieve?”
Before the real fight, Zhang Mu called all the class leaders.
Arrange combat missions.
First of all, they still needed to fully understand the intentions of their superiors.
Otherwise, the soldiers would be blinded.
He told them his intentions for the battle. Once the battle started, he would let them execute various combat missions flexibly.
"As for the bait plan!"
Zhang Mu said slowly," I, the Second Leader, the Third Leader, will bring 10 elites to the River Defense Camp. We will put on the uniforms of the Qing Dynasty soldiers and rush in as soon as we see a fire. We will not care about anything else except setting fire. However, our main target is the ships. We must firmly control these 27 ships!"!”
"Don't worry, Chief. We won't let you down!" Su Sanhao said loudly.”
Zhang Mu smiled." Don't be too confident. I'll see how you guys perform!"”
During this period of time, Zhang Mu had also been instilling a concept repeatedly. As long as they were well-trained, they would definitely not be able to defeat the Green Army. However, it would not be easy to defeat a third-rate army like the River Defense Battalion.
First of all, he needed to let the soldiers have full confidence in themselves.
Taking down the river defense unit, the first thing was to replenish their weapons and equipment, the second was morale, and the most important thing was the ships.
Without a boat, it was almost impossible to pass through the forest directly.
These 300 people were his initial team. He could not let anything happen to them.
After making the battle plan.
Zhang Mu changed into the Qing soldiers 'clothes.
Su Dagang and Liu Dalong also followed closely behind Zhang Mu. Along with them were ten warriors that Zhang Mu had carefully selected.
The others had to split up into groups of five to surround the river defense unit.
However, there was also a key problem.
That was, once they were separated, would these people immediately want to escape?
When they were gathered together, there was still a sense of cohesion. However, once they were separated, no one could guarantee that these people would not be distracted.
Therefore, if he wanted to achieve this, he definitely had to do some political work.
even so
Zhang Mu couldn't guarantee it either.
However, there was no other choice in this situation.
He had to take the risk.
Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Gaoyou River Defense Camp.
When he arrived, Zhang Mu noticed that the military discipline here could only be described as lax.
A portion of the officers of the river defense unit were eating empty pay.
Most importantly, these soldiers of the river defense camp were actually laborers. They were actually transporting goods here.
Some of these goods belonged to merchants, and some were colluded with by officials and merchants.
These soldiers were paid with the money of the imperial court, so it was needless to say that they had their pay deducted. To the officials, they were free labor.
As for their combat strength, they were definitely inferior to even third-rate.
After observing for a whole day, Zhang Mu didn't go straight to the river defense camp with his men until night fell.
"Stop!"
Seeing Zhang Mu's group walking over, a team officer immediately stopped them,""Who are you?"
"We are from Yangzhou! "Zhang Mu took a step forward and said coldly,"I'm here on orders to look for you. Quickly get him over here!”
The officer sized up Zhang Mu and said,""Yangzhou? I'm familiar with Yangzhou. Which superior are you talking about? Why are your clothes wrong?"
Pa!
Zhang Mu stretched out his hand, which was a wooden token. He waved it and kept it at his waist."I told you to bring him out. The messenger said that he wanted to use troops!”
"Show me the sign again!"
The wooden token was shaking so fast that the officer couldn't see it clearly. Just as he was about to take another look, Zhang Mu frowned and slapped him."Are you blind? You still dare to meddle? I told you to bring him out to see me! Can you bear the responsibility for delaying my lord's matters?”
Zhang Mu's strength was so great that he directly slapped the officer to the ground.
The team officer was dumbfounded. Looking at Zhang Mu's arrogant appearance, he felt that Zhang Mu was not to be trifled with. He quickly got up from the ground and said,"I'm informing my lord!”
In the Qing Dynasty, the officers of the patrol battalion and the army police unit were also known as supervisors.
While the officer was running off to look for his supervisor, Zhang Mu was also looking around.
The wooden structure was perfect for setting fire.
There were also many ships on the dock, a total of 27.
However, the draft was not deep. It was obviously an empty ship.
This ship was originally the imperial court's ship and was usually pulled out for training. However, it was obvious that the river defense camp was using it for public use and private use. This ship definitely did not have training, but it was definitely used for smuggling and transporting some commercial goods. This captain probably made a lot of money by relying on these ships.
Especially now, when food was scarce.
He was afraid that he had really earned a lot of money.
Just as Zhang Mu was looking around, he saw a fat guy running over.
This guy was the leader of the river defense unit.
During this period of time, they had taken advantage of the flood to transport food to Yangzhou City.
Now, the price of grain in Yangzhou City had risen several times. A ship of grain was worth at least several hundred taels of silver.
This official was thinking about taking a concubine recently, but unexpectedly, Zhang Mu came over tonight.
"May I ask who you are?" The officer sized up Zhang Mu.
Previously, this team officer couldn't explain clearly. How could he know who Zhang Mu was? He only said that he had a great background. Now that the officer had come personally, his tone was somewhat polite.
Someone who wants your life!
Shua!
Suddenly, the spear in Zhang Mu's hand drilled out.
He had learned how to use a bayonet in the army. Although the weapon in his hand was a spear and not a bayonet, it was enough.
Shua!
Like a venomous snake, it instantly pierced through the throat of the pipe.
Blood gushed out.
"Kill…"
The moment the officer uttered a sound, he became speechless as Zhang Mu's spear was pressed against his throat.
"Hero, spare my life!"
The officer knelt down.
