661 Xiangjiang Yizhai

At this moment, the translator girl was sitting upright in a large room, and on either side of the seat, a group of subordinates were watching her silently......

Huang Binqing, Wei Yuhou, Daming Water and Land Officials Volunteer Soldiers and Horses Recruit Chief Soldiers, Prince Taishi, Cishang Fangjian, Zhoushan General.

Back then, Hongguang was killed, the Tang King succeeded to the throne, promoted Huang Binqing in the army, and entrusted him with the important task of blocking one side, so the Zhoushan ginseng who commanded tens of thousands of officers and soldiers on land and water would become the lonely loyal minister of the Tang King.

However, the stars are changing, fortune is impermanent, only a few years, the Tang King was broken by the Qing army, died in southern Jiangnan, when the Ming Dynasty, there is Yongli in the south, and there is the King of Lu in the east, this Huang Binqing is sitting on Zhoushan, where 200,000 soldiers and civilians monopolize the benefits of salt fish, guarding their loyalty to the Tang King, refusing to accept the Lu King who is adrift on the sea, and finally, finally for Zhang Mingzhen Zhang Huangyan's department designed to sink on the sea.

It was the dusk of the ninth lunar month nine years ago, and the sky in Zhoushan in early autumn was gloomy, and Huang Xianggu, who was still in the prime of her cardamom years at the time, clearly remembered that in the evening, her grandfather left the boudoir in a hurry with himself and his sister, without even taking more clothes.

The housekeeper around him with a few healthy women and old servants surrounded the sisters and a coffin and rushed out of the door, in the coffin lay his mother who had just died, and the people around him looked frightened, and beads of sweat the size of beans hung on everyone's face, perhaps, mixed with teardrops......

The hurried courtyard was full of crying, the news of Lord Huang's death came, the Hou Mansion suddenly collapsed, despair and loyalty made the women in the mansion embark on the road of no return to death, including Huang Xianggu's mother, Lord Huang's only concubine.

It is said that the person who took her to hang the beam with her was Lord Huang's wife......

King Lu's army has broken through the walls of Dinghai and is rushing towards the Hou Mansion, and no one wants to stay in the Mansion except for those who intend to surrender.

However, in fact, later King Lu's subordinates did not abuse Huang Binqing's family, except for asking the family members to give up the marquis' mansion, the family members still gave Lu Mi and pensions.

It's just that at that time, the people in the Hou Mansion were already panicked, and people were in a mess, and no one would sit still and wait for death, entrusting their lives to the word "righteousness" that the enemy might have.

As the daughters of Huang Binqing, although the sisters are not descendants, they are still the bloodline of Lord Huang, since they are the bloodline of Lord Huang, it is possible that they will be regarded as enemies by King Lu Jianguo, so the only thing they can do at that time is to leave quickly.

At dusk that day, the sunset was as red as blood, and a small fleet quietly left Zhoushan from Houshan Port when King Lu's ship sailed into Dinghai Port, with more than 300 personal soldiers and three Cantonese hard-sail tea boats, leaving Zhoushan Island with Huang Xianggu and her sister Xi'er.

The leader of this fleet is Huang Xianggu's grandfather, the chief instructor of the guns and sticks of the Hou Mansion, the chief Cheng Jing of the Hou Mansion's personal guard battalion, and Master Cheng.

Cheng Jing saw his only flesh and blood hanging from the beams of the house, and the grief was indescribable.

He has followed Huang Binqing for more than ten years, because of his family martial arts and his strong martial arts, so he has been promoted and reused by Lord Huang, so that he has gradually become the head of the Hou Mansion and thousands of households from a small banner belonging to a hundred households, and the Cheng family has since become a confidant of Lord Huang, and he is also a relative.

Cheng Jing's only daughter inherited her father's martial arts, and in this troubled era, she can always find a way to advance with martial arts.

Thinking back then, because the marquise was sick, everyone expected that he would die soon, so this Lord Huang finally valued the healthy daughter of the Cheng family and accepted it as a concubine.

Fortunately, Lord Huang was very pampered, and the daughter of the Cheng family lived up to expectations, giving birth to a boy and two girls in a few years, but the baby boy unfortunately died in infancy, leaving only two daughters.

Now the house is shocked, the daughter and Mrs. are hanging on the beam together, Cheng Jing is in mourning, his heart is like ashes, only the body of his daughter is collected, and he doesn't care that his wife is still hanging on the beam, and he takes his daughter's body and a pair of grandchildren and sisters under his knees to board the boat.

The fleet went all the way south, crossed Qiantang, crossed Haining Jinxia to Chaoshan, could not gain a foothold, sailed west to Lingding Yangwai, when the Ming and Qing dynasties communicated, Lingnan was in turmoil, the flag of Nanyue City changed, first there was Shaowu, then there was Yongli, and then there was Li Chengdong rebelled impermanence, the realm of the two Guangzhous, the Ming and Qing dynasties saw each other, making this corner of the Lingding Ocean a corner of the barbaric place, becoming a place of refuge outside the world.

Cheng Jing's fleet came to this point, recruited refugees to settle up on Xiangjiang Island to protect themselves, and then ships to sell goods overseas, gathered the people of Tanhu to take advantage of fishing and salt, and recruited and surrendered to invest in a few years, and the fleet expanded to more than 10 large and small ships, with more than 5,000 subordinates, which was a hegemon on the sea for a while.

Only a few years, Wenzhou Mountain was broken by the Qing army, the Lu Wangbu will fight the bloody battle of Dinghai, 180,000 soldiers and civilians were slaughtered by the Qing army, Dinghai City, only less than a thousand households for collecting corpses, that Huang Binqing left on the island of the family children are all martyrdom and died, no one is left behind, when the village is all sighing Cheng Zhai Lord God decisive, when he decided to go out to save the lives of a lot of people, the so-called blessing and misfortune depend on each other, it is the time, luck, life, and number.

This Cheng Jing's life is loyal to Huang Binqing, because the king of Lu killed the old master, and made his beloved daughter die in Dinghai, so the heart of the official family is like ashes, and he vows to neither be a Tartar nor a Ming, and stand on his own in Xiangjiang, called Xiangjiang Yizhai.

Li Chengdong in the name of the Qing court to appease and disobey, after the rebellion against the Qing Dynasty, to the Ming Dynasty edict also did not obey, Cheng Jing maverick, dominating the sea, encountered the officials and people Hanyi sea ships, do not pay the number of fees and regulations, all of them are forcibly levied, the slightest resistance, that is, robbery, confiscation of property, people are tied to meat tickets.

So in the past few years, the name of Xiangjiang Yizhai has flourished, and there are many people from near and far, and at this time, the Lingnan area is not quiet, and the sea frontier is beyond the reach of the official whip, and the officers and soldiers are busy with the civil war, and they are powerless to encircle and suppress, so they can only let it gradually become bigger.

However, a few years later, the king of Pingnan Shang Kexi army went south, besieged the city for ten months, Zhao Gengyin's robbery, slaughtered 700,000 soldiers and civilians in Yangcheng, this Xiangjiang area, is not only the key point of sea traffic, but also a place where pirates gather, and close to Yangcheng Macau, the government will naturally not let go.

After Shang Kexi pacified Nanyue, he immediately sent troops to clear the place.

Soon after, Shang Kexi exchanged food and salaries with Macao, and sent the imperial court sailors to attack the Xiangjiang Water Village with the Macao Franc Machine Sea Boat, although Cheng Jing and Ding were numerous, they still did not support the official army and the Yi boat to attack, and were forced to abandon the water village and flee to the South Seas.

Cheng Jing is eight feet long and dignified, fair-minded on weekdays, has his own prestige in the minds of his subordinates, and his subordinates are all subordinates who have been personally taught all year round.

Cheng Jing's troops are in this land of the South Seas, although both people and land are enemies, but the local natives are not strong, and their subordinates can still work together, so they have been making a living by robbing in this Borneo ocean.

After wandering for a long time, for the long-term plan, Cheng Jing led his subordinates all the way to the south, to Borneo southeast of the sea to see a large island, see the mountains here stretch for thousands of miles, then landed in a place near the mountains and waters, after exploring with the locals, this island is in the southwest of Sulu thousands of miles, Sulu people call it Yalaibes.

Cheng Jing slightly through the documents, only to know that this island is the "Island Yi Zhiluo" of the place of the "Island Yi Zhiluo", (later generations called Celebes, that is, Sulawesi), this party is abundant, the four seasons are like spring, Cheng Jing wants to settle down here, gradually lead his subordinates ashore, and explore the mountain water potential here.

He also learned from the local natives, boiled taro potatoes for food, brewed coconut milk for wine, sent his subordinates to trade at sea, re-engaged in the business of thieves, and then built a wooden gate water village near the sea, cut down forests and expanded land to engage in crops, and finally settled down.

In the past few years, Cheng Jing re-recruited natives to trade with them, trafficked human beings, and his power flourished again.

After a long illness, Cheng Jing knew that time was running out, so he entrusted the two daughters with the big things in the village, at this time the two daughters had grown up, galloped on the sea for many years, and won the true inheritance of his father's gun and stick martial arts, and also helped the affairs of the village on weekdays, which won the hope of everyone.

When Cheng Jing was dying, he recruited the second daughter and the subordinates in front of the hall, and announced the eldest daughter Huang Xianggu as the commander in public, and the general leader of the cottage affairs.

Immediately said to everyone, Tatar Qing is a national enemy, the Ming Dynasty is a family hatred, Cheng is loyal to the Tang Dynasty King Huang, and finally ended up uprooted from his hometown and has nothing to rely on, so our descendants will never be the master, regardless of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and shouted, the husband should walk alone in the world, proudly between heaven and earth, and be the son of man! After the words are finished, the dying is not blind.

When all the subordinates heard the last words of the old man, they all felt the same way, and they all cried bitterly in front of the hall. In addition to sighing, everyone immediately embraced Huang Xianggu to take over as the owner of the village in front of the hall.

In order to calm the disturbed hearts of everyone, they did not want the sisters' marriage to cause discord in the village, and the two sisters gathered in the village in one day, and announced in public that they would no longer marry for life in this life, and only presided over the affairs of the village.

Among the people, there are indigenous female dependents, who chant the two sisters as "holy women" in public, called "great holy women" and "two holy women", and bow and worship, and gradually follow the crowd, and the general of each flag will also bow down to the "holy daughter" when they see the situation, so that the disturbance of the marriage of the two women has subsided.
