Song Fujian Road Zhangzhou

Zhangzhou is also a coastal city, also known as "Seaside Zoulu".

Zhangzhou, located in the land of Minyue, in the first year of Tang Wude, rebuilt Anjun as Jianzhou, Tang vertical arch two years, built Zhangzhou, the state governance in Xilin, belongs to Lingnan Road, jurisdiction Zhangpu, Huaien two counties.

In April of the third year of Song Taiping's rejuvenation of the country, Chen Hongjin dedicated his land to the Song Dynasty, and the two prefectures of Quanzhou and Zhangzhou were officially returned to the Song Dynasty.

Zhangzhou belongs to Song Fujian Road, not far from Quanzhou, under the jurisdiction of Longxi, Zhangpu, Longyan, Changtai four counties.

There is a river around the south of Zhangzhou, which is called "Jiulong River" or "Zhangzhou River".

The Zhangzhou River leads directly to the sea, enters the sea from Xiamen Port, and the Song Dynasty places two official ferries in Xiamen Port, named "Wutong" and "Dongdu".

On this day, Zhangzhou was foggy, and the fog was like a layer of white yarn, which shrouded the entire Zhangzhou in a fog, and the visibility was extremely poor.

"Hair... What's going on? Who is it? ”

Although the visibility is extremely poor, in the fog, you can still faintly see the number of boats on the Zhangzhou River that suddenly sail and cannot see the number of boats, large and small, like houses on the water, cruising back and forth on the Zhangzhou River.

Huang Xinghui, the governor of Zhangzhou, who had already been reported, asked tremblingly on the city wall at this moment.

"Huang Zhizhou, should it be a pirate ship?" A Song army general under Huang Xinghui replied.

"The sea... Thief....? You see... Clear? Huang Xinghui was frightened and asked when he heard this.

Zhangzhou is not like Quanzhou, there are boat divisions and new armies, Zhangzhou only has some van troops and township soldiers, if the pirates attack across the sea at this moment, there is almost no power to fight back.

"The young general has sent a ship, check it out, there is no doubt that it is a pirate ship." The general of Zhangzhou replied: "Huang Zhizhou, the pirates are coming, my Zhangzhou troops are insufficient, and I need to ask for help from other places." ”

"Where to ask for help? Fuzhou? Huang Xinghui asked with a panicked expression.

"Fuzhou is too far away, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, Huang Zhizhou, the young general thinks, it is better to ask Quanzhou for help." The Zhangzhou general replied.

"Quanzhou? Why Quanzhou? Huang Xinghui retracted back into the city wall, turned his head to look at the Zhangzhou general, and asked in surprise.

The Zhangzhou generals were simply speechless when they heard this.

It is said that Huang Xinghui is a comatose official, who is obsessed with reciting poems all day long, traveling in the mountains and rivers, indulging in wine, and ignoring political affairs, and now it seems that this is indeed the case.

The days of building a boat division and training a new army in Quanzhou are not short, who doesn't know about Fujian Road, who doesn't know? He alone Huang Zhizhou doesn't know...

Quanzhou is close to Zhangzhou, and there is a Quanzhou boat division at the same time, so Zhangzhou wants to resist the attack of pirates, and must ask for help in Quanzhou.

And this matter must be fast, and you must not hesitate, otherwise you will be attacked by the Haikou invaders in Zhangzhou, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Huang Zhizhou, of course we can ask for help from Guangnan Road, nearby state capitals and other places, but only Quanzhou has a boat division, if it is a tailwind, Quanzhou boat division can go to Zhangzhou in one day, but the only thing that the young general is worried about is that Quanzhou will refuse to send a boat to Zhangzhou." The Zhangzhou general patiently explained.

"Oh... All right... As soon as Huang Xinghui spoke, he felt that something was wrong, so he said angrily: "Zhangzhou and Quanzhou are both important towns in Fujian and Vietnam, Zhangzhou is in trouble, why didn't he come to Quanzhou to rescue?" If Quanzhou does not send a ship. This official is determined to be the court of the book, the commander of Fuzhou, and impeach him Quanzhou Li Sanjian... ”

The Zhangzhou general was speechless again when he heard this。。。。。

Zhangzhou has Zhangzhou's difficulties, but Quanzhou also has its difficulties, and Quanzhou has no obligation to aid Zhangzhou. If Quanzhou is also attacked by pirates, then Quanzhou will definitely be too busy to take care of itself, how can there be kung fu to send Quanzhou boatmen south to rescue Zhangzhou?

"Whew... Call..... ”

"Trebuchet throws stones!"

"Feishi, Huang Zhizhou be careful!"

At this moment, the Song army on the city wall let out a frightened shout, and then several black stones appeared in the air, smashing towards the head of Zhangzhou City.

One of the boulders fell straight towards the gate tower where Huang Xinghui was.

"Poof... There was a loud bang, and in an instant, before Huang Xinghui and others could react, the boulder fell, smashing half of the city gate tower, sawdust splashed, dust, and bricks and tiles fell down, burying Huang Xinghui and others under the bricks.

The Zhangzhou generals reacted quickly, jumped out of the city tower first, turned around and hurriedly beckoned the Song army to dig out Huang Xinghui and others.

"Out... What the... What's up? After the disgraced Zhangzhou Zhizhou Huang Xinghui was brought out by the two, he asked in shock.

"It's a thief ship trebuchet throwing stones." The Zhangzhou general replied.

"And the trebuchet on the thief ship?" Huang Xinghui was almost frightened, so he said in horror: "Prison Chen, this... I'll leave it to you... This officer... The official returned to the yamen to write a book. . . The imperial court, the official then asked people to go to Quanzhou for help. ”

Huang Xinghui said, without waiting for the Zhangzhou generals to agree, he panicked and ordered someone to help him down the city wall.

"Report 。。。。。 Changtai County was attacked by thieves, Qiu Chengxiang, the magistrate of Changtai County, was killed by thieves, and countless soldiers and civilians were killed and injured. ”

Before Huang Xinghui stepped down the city wall, he received the news that Changtai County had been attacked by the pirates, so Huang Xinghui was even more shocked.

That night, Huang Xinghui, the governor of Zhangzhou, packed up his family overnight, took his family, abandoned the city, and fled. The Zhangzhou group of dragons had no leader, and suddenly fell into chaos, and was taken advantage of by a few pirates to attack Zhangzhou.

Later, when the Song army reinforcements arrived in Zhangzhou, the pirates had already burned and plundered, and then left, leaving only the prodigal city of Zhangzhou.

Quanzhou Shihu Water Village

Shihu Water Village was built in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it is the earliest and large-scale walled city built in Quanzhou in all dynasties.

Shihu Water Village chokes the shape of Quanzhou Bay, which is the key point of shipping route and coastal defense, and is an important military place and coastal defense town in the past dynasties.

In the first year of Song Xining, he built a sea patrol inspection village here, which is famous as Shihujing. Shihu Village is the main land route of the four counties of Nan'an, Tong'an and Hui'an, and the village is guarded.

The Quanzhou Maritime Inspection Division stationed 300 troops in Shihu Water Village, and Ren Zhizhai, a general named Feng Kui of the Quanzhou Maritime Inspection Division, commanded the 300 soldiers and horses of Shihu Water Village.

Feng Kui is an old soldier, already more than 50 years old, when he was young, he served in the "Western Army", that is, he once served in the northwestern Song army, and later because of his age and wounded in the battle with the Western Xia, so he moved to southern Fujian, as a general in the Song Maritime Inspection Division.

At this moment, Feng Kui is leading people to inspect the female wall of Shihu Water Village.

"Feng Zhizhai, the sentinel ship is back." At this moment, a Song sergeant came to report.

Sentinel boats, also known as water scouts, are scouts who drive small boats to explore the surface of the water, and Feng Kui has already sent many water scouts to explore the situation near Quanzhou.

Feng Kui's many years of military career have already cultivated an extremely keen sense of smell, Feng Kui keenly felt that the atmosphere in Quanzhou recently is different from the past, and as an outpost in Quanzhou, if something happens, it is the first to bear the brunt, so Feng Kui has been extremely cautious recently, and constantly sent sentinel boats to strengthen the vigilance of Mahu Water Village.

"Feng Zhizhai, many big ships have been found in the open sea." A water scout came back and said with admiration.

When Feng Kui sent them, they were still a little unimpressed, thinking that Ban Gengzhong was a little too sensitive, thinking that there would be no surprises, but now it seems that Ban Gengzhong is right, and the water scouts really found some abnormal situations.

"What kind of ship is it? Is it my Black Flag Naval Boat Division? Feng Kui asked anxiously.

"It doesn't seem to be." The water scout replied.

"Yes is yes, no is no, what is seeming?" Feng Kui's face sank and he asked.

"It's not." The water scout thought for a moment and replied, "If the boatmaster were to work here, they would definitely inform us, but they sneakily stopped in the open sea, and they must be trying to disadvantage our village. ”

"That's it, the thief's ship." Feng Kui nodded in agreement: "How many boats?" ”

"There are about thirty of them, and there are big ships among them." The water scout replied.

The water scout's analysis is very correct, since it is not the warship of the Black Flag Military Boat Division, then these ships, no matter who they are, must have bad intentions.

It is even more impossible for civilian ships and merchant ships to stop in the open sea so deep and in the middle of the night.

"Come on, make everyone in the village ready, and prepare to destroy the thieves." Feng Kui then ordered categorically.

"Feng Zhizhai, do you want to sound the gong and light the beacon fire?" A soldier asked.

Feng Kui shook his head and said, "Wouldn't the gong and the beacon fire tell them that we are ready?" Ben would have made them suffer first. ”

"Once you engage the enemy, you will immediately light a beacon fire and warn Quanzhou." Feng Kui then instructed his subordinates: "Now immediately send a horse to Quanzhou and report the matter here to the state government." ”

There is a beacon tower every five miles between Shihu Water Village and Quanzhou, which is used to give alarm, and the beacon tower has prepared a lot of firewood, grass, sheep dung and other wolf smoke things.

However, these beacons have not been lit for a long time, the reason is that Quanzhou has been peaceful for a long time, and there is no need to light these beacons on weekdays when a small group of thieves attack and harass.

"You lead twenty swordsmen and axes to guard the gate of the wall, without my order, no one is allowed to open the gate, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" In order to be foolproof, in order to prevent the thieves from joining forces with the people in the village, Feng Kui instructed one of his generals to say.

In addition to the Song soldiers and soldiers in Shihu Water Village, there are many people's husbands, these people are mixed, who dare not guarantee that there will be no thieves among them, and even the army may have thieves and thieves.

After Feng Kui's generals received the order in a low voice, they selected twenty strong soldiers, carried large swords, and rushed to the vicinity of the walled gate.

In an instant, the atmosphere of Shihu Water Village suddenly became tense, and all the Song soldiers and soldiers in the village quietly moved rolling wood stones, feather arrows, stones and other things onto the wall.

After everything was arranged, everyone died down and quietly lay behind the wall, waiting for Feng Kui's order.

Many of them were sweating on their palms and backs, their chests were beating like drums, and their hearts were beating violently.

You must know that many of them are native soldiers and village soldiers, and they have never experienced a major war or battle.

Bloody fighting is completely different from catching thieves on weekdays, it is very different!
