[The description of the Hongzhou shipyard may be a bit exaggerated, but Xiaotian wants to talk to you here about it, open the history textbook, there are many other specialties on the map of the Tianbao period, but the shipyard is only Hongzhou. Xiao Tian does not deny that there are other shipyards, but Hongzhou Shipyard can be remembered for thousands of years, and its hegemony is undoubted. Thank you!]

Poyang Lake in summer has plenty of water, grass grows warblers fly, and beautiful migratory birds fly in flocks.

The good ecological environment gives them a leisurely life, and the migratory birds are not very afraid of the fishermen, who still keep their eyes on the water. It's not a noble topic of harmony between man and nature, it's actually the taste of these birds that taste like chewing wax. The scarce spices have made many delicious foods unrelated to humans, but they have also saved these beautiful elves.

Except for the occasional rich kid who comes to the lake to catch a few and go back to enjoy them, the fishermen really don't want to waste their time on things that can neither be used as food nor sold for money.

That's right, there are many varieties of migratory birds nowadays, except for a limited number of rare birds, the rest are mostly worthless, after all, rare is expensive.

The birds that escaped the clutches are still flying carefree.

Xu Chen's official ship gradually sailed into the center of Poyang Lake, and Changshan Island was already close at hand. In summer, the flood is full of the lake, Changshan Island is like a bright pearl inlaid in Poyang Lake, the water reflects the mountain, and the mountain sets off the water, forming a beautiful picture, so that how many poets are not satisfied, and how many painters forget to return. Of course, that was a few years ago.

The busy fishermen are going in and out of the harbor, and although they are water bandits, they have not lost their industrious character. "The fishing boat sings at night, ringing on the shore of Peng Li. "It is the best reward that Wang Bodang left on Changshan Island after staying on Chinese New Year's Eve.

In fact, it is said that it is Changshan Island, but it is actually a series of islands and reefs that converge to form the Changshan Islands. Changshan Islands from northeast to southwest, is Lion Mountain, Hydrangea Mountain, Turtle Mountain, Egg Mountain, Yin Mountain, Drum Mountain, Seat Mountain, Zhutou Mountain, Hengshan and a series of small islands such as Xiashan, Changshan was originally called Qianshan, legend says that she is a hill next to Lishan, the character is stubborn, was driven to the present place by the old mother of Lishan with a leather whip, so it is called "Qianshan", because of the "strong" character strokes, it is not easy to write, it is rewritten as "strong", the pronunciation is still the same, so it is also called Qiangshan, and later changed to Changshan.

Seeing that the destination was in sight, Xu Chen stopped the official ship and invited Wang Shuo and Hao Dazhi to the cabin to talk.

"Brother Wang, Brother Hao, Changshan Island is in front of you, there is a rough plan here, and I hope that the two brothers can help one or two. Xu Chen said sincerely.

"Lord Xu, if there is anything you ask, a certain family will definitely do it!" Hao Dazhi said loudly.

"That's right, Brother Xu, this trip is dominated by you, and we will obey any orders. Wang Shuo also replied.

"Thank you! I hope that when we go to the island later, we can go separately, and I will go to the island first, and the two brothers will wait outside, so that we can do it cheaply. Xu Chen said.

"This ...... I'm afraid it's inappropriate!" Wang Shuo didn't understand Xu Chen's intentions, and said thoughtfully.

"How can this be? Lord Xu went to the island alone, with no one around to take care of him, if something happens, how can we have the face to go back to see Lord Xianzun!" Hao Dazhi was much more direct.

"It's not a secret, I have some preparations for this trip to Changshan Island, there are dozens of my brothers waiting there in front, besides, Brother Wang is also from the military formation, so he naturally knows that leaving an ambush outside can often play a decisive role. Xu Chen said.

This is pure nonsense, and he Peng Ze doesn't know the relationship between you Xu Chen and Wang and Hao, and he doesn't know that even if he takes you Xu Chen, he won't be able to threaten the two. As the saying goes, "capture the thief and capture the king first", the normal reaction will be to take down the leader first and then threaten everyone. As for the so-called ambush soldiers, are you Zhao Kuo who has never been on the battlefield when I am Wang Shuo? Originally, the troops were insufficient, and you still divided the troops, and it was not like this to seek death.

But Wang Shuo and Hao Dazhi agreed after a while, which made Xu Chen a little confused, and the prepared words of persuasion were out of the way. But since the purpose has been achieved, Xu Chen will not force anything.

Xu Chen naturally didn't know that the two of them had already found out about Chai Qi's visit last night, and both of them thought that since this little Lord Xu was prepared, we wouldn't have to worry about it, Hao Dazhi was glad that his brothers didn't have to fight the water bandits head-on, and they would definitely be able to return safely when the time came, as for Wang Shuo, he still had his own orders, so it was okay to act separately.

So, after a while, Xu Chen took the two teenagers who followed, went down to Zheng Tai's boat with a rope ladder, turned around and waved goodbye to Hao and Wang, and Zheng Tai commanded the teenagers to row to Changshan Island not far away.

The Jangsan Island Group is mainly divided into two large islands: Jangsan Island in the north and Haesan Island in the south.

Xiashan Island in the south is the place where business travelers gathered, and it is also a place where buildings are more concentrated, Peng Ze, the big boss of Changshan Island, and Geng Yanqiu, the third master, led the original local villagers to live on this Xiashan Island, which is also the destination of Xu Chen's trip.

Let's turn back the clock a few hours, Xu Chen's official ship has just sailed out of Chizhou, and Chai Qi, who was in a hurry overnight, boarded Xiashan Island in the early hours of the morning, and took a while to contact his own dark line, and told the plan according to Xu Chen's instructions.

In the early morning of the second day, Xu Chen's plan had quietly spread on Xiashan Island.

The buildings on Xiashan Island do not look like cottages at all, and Peng Ze did not damage the market town buildings left by the merchants. It's all the things that the villagers have contributed to, and it's good to leave them to live in, and the construction will only increase the burden of the villagers, so what's the difference between yourself and those profiteers and evil officials?

In the center of the town, in a slightly larger courtyard, a man and a woman were talking.

"Senior brother, Chai Qi is here again. "The woman is dressed in a red shirt, with a good face and a slender figure, and she does not have the blessing and fat that people of the time admire.

"Senior sister, do you say that what Chai Qi said is true?" The man is eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a beard on his chin, thick eyebrows, and sharp eyes.

This is Peng Ze, the big boss on Changshan Island, and Geng Yanqiu, the third master.

The two had to report earlier, and found that Chai Qi had landed on the island again, and after learning the news from Chai Qi, Peng Ze couldn't sit still, and hurriedly came to ask his senior sister for inquiry.

Don't look at Geng Yanqiu's age younger than Peng Ze, but neither his martial arts nor his resourcefulness can be compared to Peng Ze, who is five big and three rough.

Over the years, Changshan Island has been able to get to where it is today, thanks to Geng Yanqiu's planning behind the scenes.

"Chai Qi, you're still alive, aren't you?" said Geng Yanqiu, the woman in red shirts, lightly.

"Hmm...... Indeed, since he is still alive, this news should not be fake. Peng Ze also understood.

"It's just that Li Wei, what are you going to do, junior brother?" asked Geng Yanqiu.

"I don't know, senior sister, what do you think?" Peng Ze threw the question back to Geng Yanqiu, he was not very good at these nerve-wracking things, so he left it to senior sister.

"The best way, of course, is to chop it with a knife, and the two of us join forces, and the grasp is still very large. Geng Yanqiu said lightly.

"And what about his men?" asked Peng Ze.

"This is the most troublesome thing, Li Wei is just a chess piece, killing him will not help, but those behind him are the real trouble, not these people, we will not stay on this island for so many years. Geng Yanqiu said helplessly.

"Forget it, leave these things to the teenager to deal with!"

"Senior sister, can that little hairy kid do it?" Peng Ze was a little uneasy, after all, he was out of sincere love for his hometown, and he didn't want his fellow villagers to be hurt again.

"Of course!" Geng Yanqiu said affirmatively. It seems that she has blind trust in Xu Chen.

Only Peng Ze knew that this trust belonged to another person.

"In this way, I have fulfilled my wish!" Peng Ze sighed.

"Yes, junior brother, you should also go out, this island has trapped you for too long. ”

"Hehe, if I don't see the villagers living a good life, how can I walk steadily?"

Time back to the present, Xu Chen stood on the bow of the boat, looking at Changshan Island not far away, and suddenly sighed.

The third Tie Niu, the old Zhou Kang was standing beside him, Tie Niu saw that the eldest brother looked lonely, and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Iron Bull, we may have stabbed the hornet's nest this time. Xu Chen said helplessly.

"Why did the eldest brother say this?" Tie Niu was also a little puzzled, when he made the plan before, Tie Niu also participated in the whole process, and he had also read and analyzed the information of Changshan Island, and the eldest brother's plan was still very reliable!

"Come and see!" Xu Chen raised his hand and pointed to the distance and said to the two: "The Changshan Islands are lined up from the northeast to the southwest, displayed in the vast Poyang Lake, here is the real 'four suspicious lands'! The east is across the water from Duchang County, the west is close to Jianchang County, the north is the outlet of Poyang Lake, Xunyang, and the south is Yuzhang City. If the shape of the entire Poyang Lake is like a flat gourd growing on the vine of the Yangtze River, the Changshan Islands are a knife on the thin vine on the head of the gourd, and whoever holds this knife is equivalent to holding the entire Yuzhang County. ”

Tie Niu and Zhou Kang were also shocked by Xu Chen's words, the two of them had also seen the world drawn by Xu Chen and the map of the Tang Dynasty, and had also listened to Xu Chen's usual lectures, so they could naturally understand what Xu Chen meant by what he said.

"How could such a knife have been uncontrolled for so many years? Even if those big families fought among themselves, they couldn't let such a choke point be in the hands of a group of bandits, shouldn't they do business?" Xu Chen asked two rhetorical questions in a row, but his attitude was very positive.

"What do you mean, big brother?" asked Zhou Kang.

"I'm afraid that this so-called bandit trouble on Changshan Island is also a product of the great clan strife, and the leaders of these leaders are probably also involuntarily!" Xu Chen said.

"Do we need to revise our previous plan?" Iron Bull asked.

"Forget it, the original plan is still the same, but our actions are faster!" Xu Chen made a decision and said with a smile: "The world's martial arts, only fast and unbreakable, let's have a surprise attack this time, and we have to get things done before those people behind react!"

No matter how long the voyage is, there will always be an end, and the island has arrived......
