[Correct a mistake!] The map of Fujian that I found according to Guo Shengbo's "General History of China's Administrative Divisions (Tang Dynasty Volume)" did not have detailed latitude and longitude lines on it, and the map was also an abbreviated version, so I was wrong at a glance...... After today's comparison, we found that the jurisdiction of Jianzhou in the Tang Dynasty was actually near the present-day Jian'ou, and it was still north of Fuzhou, so there was a problem with the route of the rebels' march in the text! Now we are sorry that Jianzhou has been changed to Zhangzhou! In 733, Tang Dynasty took one word from Fuzhou and Jianzhou, and named it Fujian Economic Strategy Envoy (the official position of the head of the military region), and it was originally called "Fujian." The Tang Dynasty successively set up five prefectures, Fu, Jian, Quan, Zhang, and Ting, and in 771, the Fujian Observation Mission was formally established, becoming the highest local governor, forming a large-scale provincial prototype. In addition, about the title of Quanzhou, 700 years for Wurong Prefecture, 711 changed to Quanzhou, 742 years changed to the state to the county called Qingyuan County, after 760 years and reverted to Quanzhou, the span is larger, in order to read conveniently, unified called Quanzhou. I hope that the party classmates will forgive me!]

"Legend has it that when it was very far away, there lived a husband and wife on the banks of the Nord Stream River, and they had a son named 'Genggu'. He has a wife named stalagmite, and it is said that the stalagmite is a freshly unearthed stalagmite under the red caryophyllus bush behind the drum house. Genggu and stalagmites became married, and gave birth to a boy and a girl in the spring of the second year of marriage, and lived a very happy life.

However, there was no rain for 79 consecutive days in the middle of summer that year. The people knelt in the sun and prayed for rain from above, but as the days passed, the qiē remained the same. Then one day at noon, the signs of rain finally appeared, but the villagers brought the signs of rain with nine red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, purple, black, and white dragons. As the nine-colored dragon flew south, the dark clouds disappeared, and a yellow silk floated in the air. Huang Ayashang wrote directly: 'Escort a pair of boys and girls to Kowloon Pond every day for Kowloon to use, otherwise it will never rain.' ’

In order to save the living people, the villagers had to abandon their children with grief and grief, and each village and household took turns to send a pair of boys and girls to Jiulongtan every day to worship Jiulongtan. But ten days have passed, and there is still no sign of rain. Even more drummed to get rid of the nine dragons, although the stalagmite felt painful when she heard it, but thinking of the villagers being victimized, she still agreed with her husband to go to the people to kill the dragon. The stalagmite took a golden hairpin from the dresser, cut a caryophyllus from the red caryophyllus and burned it to ashes, then gave the two things to the drum and taught him how to use it. The next day, he used a basket to pick up a pair of boys and girls, and accompanied by the villagers, he bid farewell to his mother and wife to Jiulongtan. At the third watch, as the water column dozens of zhang high rushed out of the pool, nine giant dragons rose into the air and pounced towards the basket.

He even took out the lime ash from his bosom -- threw it into Kowloon, turned around and picked up the basket and ran back, and in an instant, the eight dragons in Kowloon were blinded by the lime and died on the mountain in southern Fujian. The green dragon dodged quickly, and luckily did not get hurt by the soot, and it burned into a black boulder, but was still killed by the stalagmite. ”

"Legend has it that the nine-colored dragon finally became a big river, which is the 'Nine Dragons River' in front of you. ”

Facing the surging river, Han Zhi looked at Wang Zhonghe, who was standing by the city wall looking at the enemy camp on the other side, and casually told the story he had just heard.

It's just that Han Zhi's hard work failed to wipe away the sorrow from the corners of Wang Zhongsi's eyes.

Where the Jiulong River flows into the sea, there are three main streams alone: Beixi, Xixi, and Nanxi, and the remaining Yanshi Creek, Fengcheng Creek, Xinqiao Creek, Ningyang River, Xin'an Creek, Ganhua Creek and other tributaries are countless.

In this not spacious alluvial plain, there is really a dense network of rivers. And most of the most powerful soldiers under Wang Zhonghe's command are all men from the north, and it is not a problem to gallop on horseback, but when they arrive in this land of water, they have become shallow dragons, and it is difficult to move an inch!

Zhangzhou city is built by the river, standing on the city wall, you can clearly see the Jiulong River not far outside the city, the boats are weaving, you can ...... But none of them belong to the official army!

Wang Zhongji could even clearly see the mocking smiles of the rebel soldiers on the river, and hear their unbridled shouts.

Wang Zhonghe, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly asked, "How many came back from the raid the night before?"

Han Zhi lowered his eyebrows, shook his head and sighed lightly: "There are no three ...... out of ten."

Wang Zhongsi didn't reply, he didn't have the slightest surprise or anger at this answer, and after seeing too much, he naturally felt like water.

Han Zhi was not as calm as Wang Zhonghe, and still couldn't help complaining: "If you can't defeat the rebel sailors, no matter how many people you send over, it will be a shame!"

After listening to this old tune, Wang Zhongsi still didn't say a word.

How could Wang Zhongji not know that this was true?

But...... It's hard!

More than two months ago, Wang Zhongsi hurriedly marched from the mountainous area of southern Jiangxi to transfer part of the advance army from Yangzhou to Lingnan, and finally arrived before the city of Zhangzhou was broken, but the two counties north of Zhangzhou had fallen into the hands of the rebels.

Under the expedition of the labor division, Wang Zhongsi did not attack rashly, but after waiting for a few days, the rebels transformed the river and sandbar that spread for dozens of miles north of Zhangzhou into a water company camp, a fortress that has not been broken by the official army so far!

In view of the lack of naval divisions in the official army, Li Yi gave full play to the advantages of the rebels in the naval division, leaned on the fortified city with his back, and confronted each other with boats and ships, completely blocking the official army in Zhangzhou City.

Just like the heroes of Liangshan who are 800 miles away, although Wang Zhongsi is much smarter than the high captain who plays the ball, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Without a powerful sailor, if you want to cross these dozens of miles of moats, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky!

It's not that there are no ships on the official side of the army, not to mention the local shipwrights in Zhangzhou, Guangzhou in the south is a big maritime trade port, although the exquisite shipwrights are not as good as the Hongzhou shipyard, but ordinary sea ships are also made!

Not to mention boats and boats that are only used for river combat!

However, just as it is not just a matter of tying infantry to horses and becoming cavalry, sailors are not simply loading soldiers onto ships.

Not to mention that most of Wang Zhonghe's subordinates are northerners who don't know how to water, and they can fight tigers and drive wolves on land, but once they step on the deck, they immediately become soft-footed shrimps, and it is not easy not to spit out their stomachs, how can they be expected to flow endlessly in this dense river network?

As for the local government army in Zhangzhou, there is no shortage of good water, but where can these frightened government troops be worthy of the rebels with a rainbow of morale?

Under the orders of Wang Zhonghe, several teams composed of local government troops were also sent to launch a surprise attack on the rebels, but they either collapsed in the winding river, or were blocked by the rebels' large ships rushing from the sea, and they were consumed on the cage-like sandbar little by little......

In addition to the strong attack, Wang Zhongsi also sent people to detour to the upper reaches of the Jiulong River many times, and rushed to attack the rebel camp north of the Jiulong River for hundreds of miles, but the heavy siege equipment could not flow through the turbulent river in the upper reaches of the Jiulong River, and there were often rebel boats and boats patrolling on the river.

As for the results......

The survival rate in Han Zhi's reply is already the best result that the officers and soldiers can get after accumulating two months of experience.

It was already a labor expedition, with a small number of people, with a strong city in front and an enemy army behind it, and under the attack from the front and back, plus a long retreat road......

Someone can come back alive, Wang Zhongsi thinks it's already good!

At least in the eyes of the famous general Wang Zhonghe, such a useless military strategy will not have the slightest effect!

However, he had to use it!

Will be outside, the monarch's order will not be affected!

It sounds nice and domineering, but the premise is that the king has trust in you in his heart, but for today's Wang Zhonghe, trust has long been a thing of the past......

Since the crown prince Li Heng openly confronted his Lao Tzu at the court meeting, Wang Zhonghe, Li Heng's urine, was completely abandoned by Li Longji, especially Wang Zhongsi is now leading troops outside, in Li Longji's heart, Wang Zhonghe's wariness is not even less than that of Li Heng!

The two armies have been facing each other for more than two months, but the officers and troops have not advanced an inch, and the military department has issued a military order every day, and the wording has become more and more severe.

Even if these people were sent to death, it would be much better than the conclusion that they were outside the army and watching the court!

In this kind of turbulent time, an incompetent general can make the bigwigs feel safe more than an indifferent general!

Wang Zhongsi was silent for a long time before he turned his head and asked, "Where is Wu Qi?"

Han Zhi raised his head and sneered mockingly: "Where else can you be if you don't have Caozhou? Those powerful people in Chang'an can't wait to let him station the sailor in Guangyun Pond!"

"I really don't know what these big men have in their heads! What kind of? Hehe! Stacking those warships in front of your house can make you feel safe? With those warships in front of you, you can stop the attack of the rebel sailors?"

"Oh, the day when Chang'an really falls, these people are the sinners of the Tang Dynasty!"

The more Han Zhi spoke, the more excited he became, and his voice was even closer to insulting.

However, there was silence on the city wall, and only Han Zhi's scolding echoed.

The reason why Han Zhi was so excited was because of an order from the Chang'an Imperial Court to the official army and sailors.

At the beginning, under the vigorous promotion of Xu Fan, and under the acquiescence of the Southeast Maritime Business Group, Wu Qi, the former personal guard commander of Wang Zhonghe, set out to form an official army and naval division.

The rebels in the south undoubtedly affected the maritime trade in the southeast, and the southeast maritime business group, whose profits had been greatly reduced, naturally would not be indifferent, under the call of Wu Qi, his own family, but more importantly, with the acquiescence of a series of wealthy families in Hongzhou Shipyard, the formation of the official army and naval division was very fast!

Whether it was soldiers or warships, it didn't take long to be in place.

A few people and a few ships were transferred to the navy division of the official army, and anyway, the commander of the navy division was his own family, and the so-called sailor was not just an escort team with a new signboard!

For this reason, the process of forming the officer, army, and naval division can really be regarded as uneventful!

The officers and sailors who had ships were soon put into battle, all fighting for their own business, but these extremely complex officers and sailors did not appear to be in a hindrance with each other, and soon showed their strong combat effectiveness.

In several successive battles with the rebel sailors, the officers and sailors won more and lost less, and the momentum was like a rainbow!

However, in the face of such a predicament, the rebel military advisor Li Yi came up with a plan!

Under Li Yi's order, the rebel naval division avoided the area of Shengzhou and Yangzhou, which were heavily guarded by the official and naval divisions, and attacked Dengzhou from the sea, and along the Yellow River all the way to the west, once attacked the city of Luoyang, and Chang'an was in an uproar!

Chang'an City, which had not heard the sound of soldiers for a hundred years, suddenly had an apocalyptic scene, but fortunately, the imperial court worked hard to calm down the chaos.

Later, there was a battle report from the defenders of Luoyang, saying that there were only three or two Zhuoer boats knocking on the city, and His Majesty did not need to mind the clouds......

So, the whole city is indignant!

The people of Chang'an, who had regained their composure, spread their anger on the rebels, needless to say!

However, in this exciting season, I don't know which official put forward the opinion, and the officials in the court actually made an amazing decision!

Transfer the officer, army, and naval division to Guangyuntan and station!

It's like His Majesty Gaozu divided the elite of Guanzhong into ten prefectures and stationed them in various provinces in Guanzhong, since our sailors have been able to defeat the rebel sailors, then they should be stationed under the capital, so as to defend Gyeonggi!

Such a strange building suddenly scorched the officials of the Southeast Maritime Business Group on the Golden Palace at that time!

These cute guys actually treat the sailor as an ornament, thinking that wherever there is water, there is a place for the sailor.

What is that?

It's an ornamental pool, okay!

It's deep enough, and the pool is not small, if you really want to stuff the 100 warships of the sailor division, you can really stuff it......

However, it was a naval warship!

Do you think it's a dead thing like a wall? Do you think you can kill the enemy just by putting the ship in the water?

Have these people watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Even if they haven't read it, they have always read "Three Kingdoms"?

However, just when these angry and funny southeastern officials were about to stand up and refute it, this ridiculous Jianyì was supported by most of the officials in the Golden Palace.

The old man who was really taken aback by the rebel sailor at this moment, out of safety considerations, almost didn't think much about it and echoed this self-proclaimed effective Jianyì.

By the time these officials of the Southeast Maritime Business Group came back to their senses from shock, the Golden Palace was already full of voices of approval.

Fortunately, Xu Fan, the initiator of the naval division, did not go crazy with him, but it was difficult to support it alone, although Xu Fan repeatedly reiterated that the combat method of the naval army was different from that of the army, these lovely officials repeatedly argued, saying that the cavalry that rushed could be stationed by the city wall, and why couldn't the naval division who also relied on movement to annihilate the enemy be stationed in Guangyuntan?

Reason was finally defeated by righteous indignation.

Xu Fan, who was submerged in the Golden Palace, had no choice but to persuade Li Longji in private, trying to get him to change his opinion, but Li Longji, who was also frightened, finally did not give up the idea of mobilizing the sailor.

So, with Xu Fan's final efforts, Li Longji did not transfer the water division to Guangyuntan, but transferred it to Caozhou, where the Grand Canal and the Yellow River meet.

The southeastern officials who were crying and blind in the thatched hut went home, but finally smelled a strong smell of conspiracy inside......

"Haha! As I expected, these big guys are so cute!"

On the Min River, Xu Chen was leading a group of soldiers to kill Fuzhou City in the east.

Along the way, I listened to Lu Hao's current affairs report about the past two months, and finally couldn't help laughing when I heard this: "Don't say it, this guy Li Yi really has a thorough understanding of people's hearts! Needless to say, there is definitely a shadow of seven sects and five surnames hidden behind this order!"

"They suffered in the south a while ago, but now they saw the opportunity and immediately made up for it!"

When Lu Hao heard this, he said slightly: "Why is the eldest brother so determined?"

Xu Chen smiled, looked at him and asked, "Where did Wang Xian go?"

Lu Hao was taken aback, and suddenly said, "Dengzhou!"

"Not bad!" Xu Chen nodded and said: "From the feudal official of Jiangnan West Road to the current Taishou of Dengzhou, not to mention the real power, even the grade has been reduced by several levels, do you think he is really just to atone for his sins?"

"Could it be ......" Lu Hao gradually understood, but still hesitated.

Xu Chen directly picked it out and said solemnly: "The seven sects and five surnames have finally begun to realize the profits of sea trade!"

China's maritime trade began in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and since the early Tang Dynasty, and even since the Qin and Han dynasties, the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese mainland have maintained contacts with China. But at that time, maritime trade was not trade at all!

The Korean and Japanese mainland, which were still in a state of wilderness, were not qualified to trade with the Central Plains, and at most only sporadic merchants went to sell some mountain goods.

It was not until the early Tang Dynasty that Zhenguan was prosperous, Wanbang came to the dynasty, and the countries on the Korean and Xian Peninsula and Japan began to trade with China in the real sense, but the scale was very limited, and the variety of goods was even more single.

It was not without the seven clans and five surnames that they were not involved in these trades, but the gains from trade with the Korean Peninsula and the Japanese mainland were insignificant compared to the profits brought to them by the large amount of land.

However, the seven clans and five surnames who lost their halberds in the south this year really saw the amazing financial resources of the southern family, and finally began to realize the amazing profits of maritime trade.

In this way, this is the appointment of Wang Xian, the Taishou of Dengzhou!

Otherwise, Wang Xian, the general manager, would have absolutely no reason to assign Dengzhou if there was no big mistake.

The rice had to be eaten one bite at a time, and the seven clans and five surnames who began to focus on maritime trade had no way or the strength to compete with the families in the south for trade in the South Seas, so they could only set their sights on the Korean Peninsula and Japan mainland in the north.

On the one hand, accumulating experience and cultivating their own aviation team, in order to better imitate and learn from it, the people of the Seven Sects and the Five Surnames seized the opportunity of the rebels' northern attack, and successfully pulled the official army and naval division, which was actually the southeast maritime escort team, down to the doorstep.

"This ...... Big brother is saying...... Li Yita...... He had already guessed the movements of the seven sects and five surnames, so he ......" Lu Hao recounted intermittently, his expression was indescribably surprised, and after his throat turned a few times, he sighed: "He's too terrible!"

Xu Chen smiled, looked up at the sky, and said indifferently: "Who said it wasn't? I hope I won't have to be an enemy of this person soon......

When Lu Hao heard this, he was puzzled.

Just as he was about to ask, Xu Chen interrupted: "Fuzhou City has arrived!"

Lu Hao was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at the looming city in the east, looked back at his eldest brother, and hesitated: "Do you really want to do this?"

Xu Chen's eyes drooped slightly, revealing a cold light and said coldly: "They have already betrayed once! I can't give them a second chance to betray......
