"Wow!" With a sound, Jiang pulled his foot out of the mud, the pair of hard-soled combat boots sewn from raw cowhide had long been unable to see the original color, but at this time, where could he still take care of these, looking for a place to stand firmly, he slammed his hands hard, his mouth kept "whirring", and pulled the reins to pull the mount out of the puddle.

Behind him, countless sergeants wearing robes and bamboo hats were marching with difficulty, and the commanders of various departments took the lead like him, shouting and urging in their mouths.

Now the whole army is the same, there is no cavalry foot soldier, the cavalry has to lead an extra horse, people shouting and neighing horses come and go, fortunately, the formation is still intact, Jiang Cai understands in his heart that everyone has done their best.

According to the calculation of the footsteps, he knew that he was now in Tong'an County, but after walking for so long, he still did not see the shadow of the county seat, which made him feel a little anxious, and the destination of this trip, Anping Bridge, was still in the county seat, raised his wrist and glanced at the pointer on the watch, and it was only a little more than an hour before it was dark.

Compared with the land, the navy is almost in a parallel line is much smoother, with the help of the strong southeast monsoon, as the pioneer Yang Fei's department has bypassed Jiahe Island and Huzhou Island, these two outlying islands are very famous in later generations, the former one is called "Xiamen", and the latter one is naturally "Kinmen".

Yang Fei's ship didn't have time to be repaired, there were obvious collision marks on the high bow of the ship, one side was concave, and several surrounding ship boards had cracks, because it was not a draft part, Yang Fei didn't pay attention to it, and at this moment he was holding the chart for comparison.

This chart is naturally from Liu Yu's hand, after more than 700 years of changes, things have long been different, the location of the coastline, the size of the island has changed greatly. Therefore, Liu Yu told them early on not to follow the map completely, just for reference, Rao is so, the accuracy of this chart is still the crown of time and space, which makes Yang Fei breathtaking.

Along the way, the map has been drawn a little messy, but it doesn't matter, as long as the correct position is marked, the work of retouching Liu Yu is ready to be put to the future generations to do, when the time comes, this is the first-hand information, and it is the only one.

After making a few marks on the map, Yang Fei rolled it up and put it in his arms, which was the most valuable treasure of the sailor, and its value was far above the sea ship, and he walked to the helm bridge, where he was at the helm of a short and sturdy man, wearing a short brown shirt on his black cloth head, which was not like an ordinary sergeant's dress.

"Hao Er, what's the matter, is this area very familiar?"

Yang Fei walked over and patted him on the shoulder, this person seemed to wake up from a dream, he was taken aback unexpectedly, and when he turned his head, Yang Fei clearly saw that there were tears in his eyes.

"It's the owner of the ship, the little one forgot God for a while, forgive his sins."

This Hao Lao Er is the second leader of the group of pirates who besieged Qiongzhou City that day, almost broke through the city, and after being captured, Liu Yu tempted him to serve in the navy, Yang Fei saw that he was a good player, and he was about to get to his own boat, with his own ability, and now he has become the helmsman.

If you want to talk about the terrain in this area, he is afraid that what he remembers is more accurate than the nautical chart in Yang Fei's arms, because this is his hometown, which is also the reason why Yang Fei is relieved to let him take the helm.

Just looking at all this in front of him, it inevitably reminded him of the past hardships and past, and the scenes pierced his heart, the home is gone, and the grave of his father and sister has not been to worship for many years, and he doesn't know if he is still there, the shipowner's question cannot but be answered, Hao Lao Er gathered his mind and pointed to the coast not far away and began to explain.

"We have just passed Weitou, and then we are on the coast of Jinjiang County. Don't hide the boat owner, the small family lived in that area, there are not many fishermen there, but there are a lot of boatyards, all of which are owned by maritime merchants in Quanzhou City, and then a little further to Quanzhou Bay, around the corner to see Jintian Mountain, that's it. ”

The coast is a little far away, Yang Fei listened to his words, nodded frequently, the places he said are marked, and they are generally not bad, but despite the map, if there is no person who is familiar with the waterway in front of him, he doesn't know where the water is deep and where the water is shallow, and there is a reef, there will still be a lot of trouble, Yang Fei is very glad that he didn't kill him that day, and now it will come in handy.

"Well, do it well, you should remember that day, this official repeats it here, and the things promised to you must be done. After the city is broken, the official surnamed Tian has his own court rules and regulations, and those who directly caused your family to be ruined are all at your disposal, and wait until your revenge is avenged, and then fulfill your promise, how about you not suffer, right? ”

"Thank you to the owner of the ship and the nobleman, if Hao Lao Er really fulfills his wish this time, he will definitely repay him with death, but there is a small one I don't know if I should talk about it?"

"It's okay, you say."

"When the little ones were desperate, it was the brothers in the village who took me in, and the little ones didn't intercede for them. It's just that the owners of the ship, most of them are the same as the small ones, they are born in a bitter haha, if they don't have no way to live, who wants to fall into the grass, if they can forgive one or two, the small ones ensure that they open the door to surrender, so that they can take it without swords, wouldn't it be better? ”

Hao Laoer's proposal made Yang Fei frown, the other party was obviously reasonable, those were bandits, he couldn't let the Haisi fleet run again, and his own strength was not enough, if he came hard, there would inevitably be casualties. But when they killed Zeng Shilang that day, Liu Yu's angry appearance was still fierce, would this go against Liu Shilang's intentions? Yang Fei was a little undecided.

"Hao Lao Er, since you said so, God has the virtue of a good life, and this official doesn't want to kill them all. But what you have done is really a heinous crime, it is not okay not to pursue it, the rest can be forgiven, the first evil cannot be escaped, the big boss must die, so that the official can have an explanation to the court, think about it, is it so reasonable? ”

Although Yang Fei did not fully accept it, this remark made Hao Lao Er relieved, because it showed that the other party did not lie to him, otherwise he would be lured and killed first, the government had not done it before, which was heavier, one person's life or the life of the whole village brother, Hao Lao Er soon had a choice in his heart, he gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Then it's a word, this is the matter, the small one must take the owner of the ship, although the place is a little far, the road is not difficult to walk, just look at the small one when the time comes."

The matter is decided, Yang Fei no longer speaks, let him concentrate on the helm, the matter in front of him is the most important, only after taking care of this side can he talk about other things, otherwise it is just nonsense.

"Commander, there's movement."

A sergeant on the slipway turned around and said, Yang Fei looked up and saw that on the tallest mainmast in the hull, there was a small flag waving in the bucket, signaling that "there is a ship approaching ahead".

Yang Fei didn't look forward, he knew that the target must be out of sight, only the clairvoyant mirror on the bucket could be observed, no matter what the incoming ship was, it couldn't be allowed to return, this was the most important thing.

"Pass the order, raise the officer's flag, put the whole ship on alert, full sails, and speed up to meet the enemy."

Then he took out the walkie-talkie that hung on his waist and began to contact the ships behind him, which was better than a flag.

At the same time, there were bursts of drums on the ship, and a team of sergeants ran out of the cabin and began to line up along the side of the ship, each holding hooks, guns, arrows, crossbows and other weapons, originally only hung a mainmast, with the actions of the sergeants, the front and rear masts were raised with light gray hard sails, Yang Fei's flag was raised to the top of the mast, and the words "Qiongzhou Inspection Division" were written on it.

The sails were raised, the thrust came quickly, the high bow almost pushed off the sea, and then rushed down with a huge iron corner, and the sea water was split in an instant, forming two white waves, and the speed of the ship became faster and faster.

As Yang Fei's ship took the lead, the rest of the ships began to accelerate after receiving the order, and the entire forward fleet of more than 100 large and small warships lined up in a long snake formation, which was a marching queue, and it was not conducive to receiving the enemy, but now the enemy situation was not clear, and Yang Fei was not in a hurry to adjust, he was waiting, waiting for the other party to appear in his sight.

Hao Lao Er saw the owner of the ship next to him pick up the two black cylinders hanging on his chest and stick them to his eyes, he guessed the purpose of this thing, the battle of Qiongzhou that day, most of them were defeated under this small double cylinder, but he didn't dare to ask.

"One, two, gone, it's all Sea Harrier boats, it's dead."

After seeing the number of ships coming, Yang Fei was relieved, it was obvious that the enemy did not notice, otherwise there would not be only two ships, and they would not be big ships.

In addition to the dhow, there are two rows of oars hidden in the side, and the front of the hull is narrow and wide, like a seabird, hence the name.

"Leave it alone, speed up!"

The other party obviously saw them too, and it seemed that after being stunned for a while, they began to think of turning around, Yang Fei sneered, it was late, with their current speed, they couldn't think of running.

In the evening, Jiang Cai's troops who marched hard finally arrived at Anhai Town, which already belonged to Jinjiang County, and Jinjiang County was only half a day away.

Stretching the five-mile-long Anping Bridge, Jiang Cai slowly entered the town with his army, and the front Tanma led by Shi Zhong had already controlled the entrance and exit of the town, which was almost the same as the water army, and in such weather, it had to be said to be a miracle.

Seeing his banner clearly, the old and young in the town were stunned, they all knew where Qionghai was with maritime traditions, but no one knew why Guangxi's soldiers and horses appeared on Fujian Road? Where they are going to go and what they are going to do.

"Zhang Bang Anmin, stay in the town tonight, and set off tomorrow on the third watch."

Jiang Cai, who was already about to become a clay man, ignored the greetings of the elders in the town, who knows if there is anyone here who colludes with the Pu family, but when he arrives here, there is no need to hide his whereabouts, the list covered with the seal of the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion will explain their doubts, and he himself just wants to give his horse a bath.

When he arrived at a large mansion that he didn't know whether it was requisitioned or robbed, Jiang found that Shi Zhong had already been waiting here, and his face was still a little anxious, and he didn't have time to lead the horse into the hospital, so the latter came forward and whispered a word in his ear.

"Ahh Where, take so-and-so quickly. ”

In the inner room of the courtyard, Zhang Qingyun, who was pale, closed his eyes tightly, and seemed to hear footsteps before slowly opening them, Jiang Cai stepped forward quickly and grabbed his hand, only to feel cold.

"Fu, you're coming quickly"

Before he could finish speaking, the man fainted.
