Later generations of Lu Province, the Great Song Dynasty before the Nandu Jingdong Road, the Jin people later changed to Shandong Road, the Yuan people divided it into Jinan, Dongping, Yidu and other roads, under the jurisdiction of Zhongshu Province. Its land is long and narrow, facing Liaodong across the sea, and it is also very close to Goryeo and other places.

The sea area in this area is called the "Yellow Sea" because the Yellow River carries a large amount of sediment into the sea, and it is called the "Yellow Sea", which has been continued to later generations.

Later, the Yellow River underwent many diversions, and the estuary gradually moved southward, and now it has reached the Huai and Si sides, and its waterway has been seized many times, so the area of the Yellow Sea has gradually expanded, and finally fixed with the governance of successive dynasties.

At this moment, on this vast sea, a group of pirates suddenly arose, specializing in robbing the shipping between Zhengdongxing Province and Zhongshu Province. There were many complaints along the coast, and the oracles from the capital were getting worse every day, but almost every day the ships disappeared, and even the people on board did not return.

This is very unusual, to talk about pirates, this area has never been broken, Han people, Koreans, Japanese people, but like this piece of armor does not leave to eat cleanly, there has never been, in desperation, the provincial navy dominated by the Goryeo ship dispatched several times, to clear out a lot of small groups of pirates, but it has no effect.

The vast sea, not to mention ancient times, is the future generations, with maritime satellites, GPS and other means, it is not easy to find a ship in navigation. What's more, they don't even have a clue, they don't know how powerful the thieves are, they don't know where they are hiding, no one wants to do such a needle in a haystack.

As a result, the originally busy sea transportation line slowly fell silent, and all things were transferred to Liaodong to be transported to Dadu by land, unless it was a particularly large quantity, there was really no way, and it would also take the way of escorting the navy, often moving hundreds of ships, which was quite spectacular.

"Straight lady thief, are these Koreans crazy, put all their belongings out."

The man-made ships of Goryeo are still good, absorbing some of the technology of the Central Plains, and they also have their own characteristics, that is, large, three-story and four-story ones are not uncommon, and they can be found far away with telescopes, but what is the use of just discovering them, such a huge fleet, where can they eat.

On the helm platform, Jiang Ning held the hardwood handle with both hands, and from his angle, there was only a sea in front of him, and he couldn't even see the shadow of a sail. However, since the news had been reported in the bucket, it meant that the target was ahead, and he mentally estimated how long it would take for the enemy to appear, and then made a mistake with both hands and turned the steering wheel in one direction.

"Order, follow a certain turn to the northeast, let's go around elsewhere."

His men signaled the command and instructed the men on the deck below to turn the sails and change the windward side, and the big ship slowly turned around and passed by the flotilla that was still nowhere to be seen.

Now that he was the sole owner of the ship, his deputy, Zhang Xuan, had his own ship, a captured brig that could be used in battle with a little modification, and his appearance was even more deceptive, and the two cooperated with each other to achieve quite good results, and had been closely watched by the Tartars on the shore.

Because of their outstanding achievements, some small groups of pirates who were alone were forced to have nowhere to gain a foothold by the Yuanren Naval Army, so they simply joined them, and now he has more than a dozen large and small sea ships, even if he encounters a lone Yuanren Naval Army, it is enough to fight.

Being able to force the Yuan people to pay so much attention shows their efforts, but Jiang Ning is not completely satisfied, the shipping of the Tartars has indeed been affected, but if it has been like today, then there is no way to take them, so that it will not be able to meet Liu Yu's requirements.

Standing on the slipway, he was a little different from before, his thick and stiff beard covered his entire jaw, making him look rough and mature, his bronze complexion was no different from that of his subordinates, and the bulging flesh on his body was more obvious than when he was in the army, and even his eyes were calm and atmospheric.

Captured again and again, victorious again and again, the so-called prestige is gathered in this way, with the increasing proficiency of the ship's technology, no one dares to underestimate him anymore, even Zhang Xuan is now convinced, willing to be his deputy.

Therefore, Jiang Ning understands very well that such prestige comes and goes quickly, and before he reaches his goal, he can't have a record of defeat, and can only use more and bigger victories to consolidate the current achievements and completely subdue the hearts of the pirates in this area.

Like him, the Yuan people are also recruiting pirates, and immediately use them to deal with Jiang Ning and others, these thieves who are familiar with the waterways are a great threat to them, Jiang Ning has always tried to avoid confrontation with them, but take advantage of the vastness of the sea, swim around, and pick on the enemy's weak defenses to attack.

"Big boss, it's almost Tamna Island ahead, should we go around?"

Now his deputy is a former personal soldier, who learns things quickly like him, and has some talent for sailing ships, and was promoted by him after Zhang Xuan left.

Tamna Island is a large island not too far from Goryeo itself, and now under the rule of the Yuan people, there is a governor's office on the island, and there are about 1,000 soldiers stationed on the island, and the inhabitants are only 2 or 3,000 people, which is not of much value, until it was recently discovered that the Yuan people began to transport horses to the island.

When he first heard the news, Jiang Ning was a little unconvinced, and the Yuan people had no shortage of pastures, how could they go all the way to put horses on a lonely island, until they took a look at it in person, and found that there was a large grassland on that island, which should be naturally formed.

"Well, go farther away and don't alarm them."

Now there are not many horses on the island, even if they are robbed, it is just a hammer deal, it is better to put it for the time being, and wait until a suitable time to start, if it is not that the island is too close to the shore, the Yuan people will definitely not give up, he plans to grab it for his own use.

Now their home is about an hour away from this island, all the stolen people and food are placed there, Jiang Ning has no intention of letting them go back, these people are from all over the coast, and he plans to use it for another purpose.

After staying at sea for so long, sometimes he misses the shore, after losing contact, that sense of loneliness accompanies him all the time, Liu Yu reminded him of those words before, and now he has a clearer understanding that conquering the sea is a difficult thing to do, and there is a long way to go.

Now he will still think of the person in his heart, how is she doing recently, will she worry about herself, these children's emotions can only be hidden deep in their hearts, and occasionally take them out to make their hearts less empty, so that they will be full of energy when they start doing things.

"Listen to a certain order, full sails, speed up, let's go to their nest and fuck him."

Bypassing Tamna Island, the coastline of the Goryeo people in the distance showed a shadow in a crooked way, Jiang Ning roared, provoking the whole ship to respond, since the Yuan people's naval army was dispatched, then their home must be empty, taking this opportunity to touch the shore, is what every pirate likes to do.

A square outside the city of Quanzhou to the north, covers an area of only about 100 acres, but there are nearly 1,000 households, the square has been very crowded, but there is no space near the left, and it is not easy to arrange much in the state, because all the people here are the same surname, "Zhao".

Most of them moved from Zhenjiang Mansion, it was still three years after Jianyan, and almost one hundred and fifty years have passed since then, and the rest are those who have been sent here by being degraded and blamed in various places, and once they settle down, they will take root, and they will become what they are now, year after year.

It is not the fang officials sent by the state government that manage this square city, but the Nanwai Division directly under the Zongzheng Temple, and this institution with the full name of "Nanwai Zongzheng Division" is the boss of these people, the yamen and prisons, and of course, the rice bowl.

The office is located a little back in the middle of the workshop, it is a small house, several main rooms plus a side room, it constitutes the office of the South Foreign Division, these houses are the same as their origins, have a history of more than 100 years, although they are constantly repaired, they still look dilapidated.

The current incumbent of the Nanwai Sect is an old man surnamed Zhao who is a teacher, saying that he is old not refers to age but generation, and the sixty-eight-year-old Rongwang Zhao and Rui talk about the clan, and they have to respectfully call him "big father", but today this old generation is holding a document, standing in the room with a sad face, looking out the window and muttering.

There are not many ordinary things, and there are not many people in this courtyard, a few children are playing there, and the childlike voice is originally his favorite to hear, but today, he feels very harsh.

Before this document was delivered, there was a big change in Quanzhou City, and the left wing of the Imperial Garrison suddenly took over the city gate, although a notice was later posted that it was to welcome the arrival of the Fan people's shipping period, but such an unusual move made everyone who had a heart inevitably speculate.

Now, combined with this document, of course the old generation Zhao knew that something was going to happen, for no reason, Zongzheng Temple wanted to merge the Southern Foreign Division into the Western Foreign Division, which was hundreds of miles away in Fuzhou, where there were thousands of people, how could the Guò Prefecture Ya go far without a pass?

But if there is a change in Quanzhou, these people surnamed Zhao will definitely become the focus of contention between the two sides, and at that time, life will be lost, what else to talk about?

If you don't do it well, you'll become a sinner for the whole clan! Old man Zhao sighed, this matter must be done, but it can only be done quietly, he summed it up in his heart, beckoned to a subordinate official.

"Go and call a few of them, and say that the old man has something to discuss."

The subordinate official is also surnamed Zhao, he looked at the face of this old-timer, it looked unusually ugly, but that look, he definitely wouldn't tell himself, these people who asked him to call are all elders in the clan, old people with prestige, could it be that someone has committed something to practice the family law? He was a little confused. R1058
