Chapter 174: Ryukyu

Chen Han sat on a chair in front of the wooden house, looking boredly at the rippling sea in the distance. In the shallow waters of the bay, some brothers were fishing in boats, and some children were catching crabs and collecting shells on the beach.

On the hillside not far away, there are dense sugarcane forests, and some people are busy cutting down sugarcane. The cut sugar cane is used to make sugar, and when a ship comes, it is sold to the seaman.

Chen Han grabbed the sugar cane next to him, took a bite, and began to chew it.

Since coming to this island seven years ago, he has also followed the Han immigrants on these islands in the past, cultivated wasteland, and slowly became familiar with life on the island.

The place is warm and humid, the grain is harvested twice a year, and it doesn't matter where the weather is, except for frequent typhoons, there seems to be nothing to bother them.

Of course, it wasn't all smooth sailing. In addition to dealing with many problems in life, you also have to deal with the natives of the island. Fortunately, the area of the island is large enough, and the well water of the two sides does not interfere with the river water, and most of the time there is no trouble.

A group of people from a distance walked over, a few men in front of them pulled their heads, and the women in the back held a child, crying and crying.

"Big brother, come here and tell you something."

Chen San scratched his head embarrassedly.

"I know, it's the aftermath of Brother Wang Wu."

Chen Han nodded, looked at the crying woman in front of him, and frowned.

"Sister-in-law Wang, don't be sad. If you wish, in a few days, the brothers will transport the bodies of Wang Wu back to Fuzhou. If you want to stay on the island, you will have to eat and wear. ”

"Brother Chen, sister-in-law, thank you!"

The woman finally stopped crying, and she wiped a handful of tears from her eyes, as if she had made a decision.

"With these thousands of mountains and rivers, how can my sister-in-law go back, you will have to go through a lot of trouble. The bones of my family official were cremated and brought back, and he also returned to his roots. ”

Chen Han nodded, and said softly: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, you are indispensable." According to yours, the bones of Brother Wang Wu will be cremated tonight, and they will be brought back to Fuzhou together when the time comes. ”

The woman thanked her and took the child in her arms and left. Chen Shanxian looked at her back and couldn't help but shake his head.

"Brother Wang Wu's death is so miserable, there is not even a whole person, these people are ruthless enough!"

Chen San looked at Chen Han, who was silent, and asked cautiously: "Big brother, we have to think of a way, if we keep going like this, I don't know how many people will be left in the end!"

Chen Jianghua on the side squatted on the ground and spit on the ground fiercely, his tone was angry.

"I think our brothers are in the Great Song Dynasty, and they are also the masters of showing off their power and bullying people, how did they get to this broken island, but they are often bullied by these people. The straight lady thief is really aggrieved!"

Chen Han frowned and bowed his head silently.

There's no way around it. When the Han people arrived on the island, they cultivated the wasteland, although people and animals were harmless, but these natives have always been unable to get along with them. The Fanren are familiar with the topography of the island, not to mention the sneak attack, sometimes there are large-scale armed fights, and the Han people are killed and injured a lot.

Because of this, the Han people on the island had to unite and gather in one place in order to cope with the harassment of the Fan.

Even so, as long as the Han people are alone, the Fan people will find the right time to attack, and the Han people are often either killed or injured, and the dead Wang Wu is an example.

"The main thing is that there are too few guys on hand!"

Chen Han finally spoke, and there was a bit of murder in his eyes.

"I heard from the maritime merchants in the past that they could buy firearms from Hebei. The earth-shattering thunder is five yuan for one, and the artillery is two or three hundred yuan for one piece. When the time comes, buy hundreds of earth-shattering thunderbolts, and then buy a dozen artillery pieces, and it will be done once and for all. ”

Hearing the firearm, Chen Jianghua, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly jumped up from the ground.

"That's what the eldest brother said. When I was in Quanzhou, I heard that a thunderbolt could kill two or three people from a distance. The artillery is even more incredible, killing countless people. When the time comes, with these things, kill these shit!"

Chen Han nodded and said, "Go back and wait for the maritime merchants to come over, and let them come over a little bit of earth-shaking thunder." I don't know if the artillery can be bought, and I'll talk about it then. ”

"Heaven-shattering thunder is enough! I'm sure these people are going to blow up!"

"It's just a broken island, I don't know what to fight! I don't know, when will I be able to go back."

Several people fell silent together, looking at the sea in the distance in a daze.

When they were worried, several people suddenly found that the fishing boats on the sea were desperately rowing back, and when they reached the shallow water, the fishermen got off the boats one after another, and ran to the shore.

The women and children also ran back desperately, and many of them stumbled and fell on the shore, and then got up and ran desperately towards the island.

Chen Han stood up suddenly, shook off the sugarcane in his hand, ran up quickly, grabbed a fellow villager who ran over in a hurry, and asked loudly.

"What the hell is going on, how can you be so panicked"

"Big... Brother, the sea... There are ... Official ship, it seems... It's the imperial court. ”

Several people were taken aback. I couldn't help muttering in my heart, could it be that the official ship of the imperial court came for a few fellow villagers on the island who committed crimes

"Go back and tell the brethren, take the guys, and assemble them all here!"

Chen Han gave the order, and he quickly returned to the house, picked up his long knife, and quickly ran out.

The black dots on the surface of the sea were getting closer and closer, and soon it was clear that they were all huge ships. When they got closer, the huge banner above was waving in the wind, and the big banner of the word "Song" sounded fiercely.

"Sure enough, it's an official army!"

Chen Han roughly counted that there were no less than twenty sea vessels, and there were some round iron pipes on the side of the ships, and he didn't know what they were used for. But the men on the side of the ship wearing the jackets of the Song army are definitely the army of the imperial court.

What are they doing here? Is it really for the sake of a few people who committed crimes, traveling thousands of miles, not afraid of the risks at sea?

It's thousands of miles away from the land, and it's not a port for trading, and the officials and soldiers are everywhere, what is going on?

The sea boat stopped at the bay, and several small boats were lowered on it, and the Song army on the sea boat boarded the boat and landed on the shore, and then lined up on the beach.

The men beside Chen Han gathered, everyone was solemn, and the hands holding knives, guns and clubs were also trembling. Everyone can see that the other party's Song Jun is by no means a good thing, and the armor alone makes people panic.

It's a disaster that can't be avoided. Chen Han gritted his teeth and strode forward.

"You stay here first, I'll take two people over and ask, see what the officials and soldiers of the court are doing here."

Seeing several men armed with knives and guns on the island coming over, shouting Song dialect in their mouths, Huang Feihu couldn't help but be stunned.

He didn't expect that under the leadership of the sea guide, as soon as he came ashore, he met the Song people, which also made him happy all of a sudden.

"It turns out that you are Song people!"

Huang Feihu, accompanied by the sergeants, stepped forward, smiling and doing a good job.

"We are the navy under the command of Wang Song, the envoy of the two rivers, and this official is Huang Feihu, the deputy commander of the navy. Whoever you are, report your name quickly. ”

After receiving the warships and sea ships in Quanzhou Port, Li Bao led everyone to Liuqiu, Li Bao stayed on the island, and Huang Feihu led 20 sea ships to continue to the north to complete the things Wang Song explained.

They first stopped at the Penghu Islands and Liuqiu Islands, which are the closest to Quanzhou, and then followed the Ryukyu Islands all the way north, and finally found the island referred to by Wang Songtu, which was later known as Okinawa.

Huang Feihu is in the market, so he naturally knows the awe of the common people for the court and the official army. When he said it, it was the Xuanfu Division and the deputy capital commander, pretending to be a ghost, and Chen Han and the others panicked all of a sudden.

"The villain Chen Han, a native of Jinjiang, Quanzhou Mansion, and fellow villagers Chen Jianghua and Chen San visited the official together."

Chen Han and the others knelt down together, and were immediately helped up by Huang Feihu.

"No need to be polite, the brothers are all subjects of my Great Song Dynasty, and the official should take care of them. In the future, I will do business on this island and ask my brothers to help me in all kinds of affairs. ”

Chen Han and the others glanced at each other, and they were all relieved.

"General, what are you doing on this overseas island, it seems that there is no use for growing some food here except for this sweet cane."

Hearing that the officials and soldiers had come to the island on business, Chen Han was puzzled. He was also worried that when the officials and troops came to the island, they would not clash with them.

"General, all the sergeants have been assembled, please give the order to the general."

After the soldiers went ashore and assembled, one person came to report to Huang Feihu.

Chen Jianghua glanced at the sergeant who came up a few times, and suddenly called out.

"Cai Wu, it's really you!"

Cai Wu was also overjoyed, stepped forward, and grabbed Chen Jianghua's arm.

"Chen Jianghua, you can find me bitter enough!"

Chen Han and the others' faces softened. It turns out that they all know each other, so they are much more relieved.

"Brother Chen, we came to the island to look for sulfur, and this place will also be used as a treaty port in the future, and the imperial court will open a government here."

Chen Han and the others were all taken aback. When the officers and soldiers arrived on the shore, where did they go? Everyone was originally free on the island, so it was inevitable that they would be controlled by others, and if they didn't do it, they would be killed.

"Brother Chen, this official knows what you are thinking. The official can guarantee that not only will you not be ostracized, but you will also have glory and wealth, and you will be crowned with a wife and a son. ”

Huang Feihu looked at Chen Han and the others, how could he not understand the thoughts of the common people.

"How many islands in this Ryukyus are under the rule of the government. Do you want to be at ease, or are you willing to get ahead, be promoted to a knighthood, and do it as you please? ”

He came to the Ryukyu Islands and relied on these Song people who had migrated here. With these people who are familiar with the place, it is much more convenient to operate.

"Brother Chen, to tell you the truth, Liuqiu has been occupied by the official army, and the imperial court will move a large number of people to the island and establish the jurisdiction of the government on other islands. This is a great opportunity to glorify our ancestors. ”

Cai Wu hurriedly stepped aside and said with added fuel and vinegar.

Chen Han and the others had already exploded in their hearts. Compared with being a carefree refugee on the island, it is of course much more practical to be prosperous and prosperous, and to honor one's ancestors.

"General, let's go ashore and talk about it."

Chen Han respectfully led the way in front and led Huang Feihu and his party forward.

"Big brother, can these people believe it, they really didn't come to rob our island?"

Chen San looked at Huang Feihu and the others behind him who were smiling and kept greeting the people on the island, and asked softly on the side.

"What is our island, such a broken island, what is there to grab"

Chen Han's thoughts had already turned, and he glanced at his brother with disdain, with a posture of hatred that iron could not become steel.

"Look at the posture of the officers and soldiers, with them, we no longer have to worry about the fans and pirates on the island. Besides, you're willing to stay on this broken island for the rest of your life."

Chen Jianghua hurriedly said: "Cai Wu and I have a relationship, what he said will not be wrong, eldest brother can rest assured."

Chen Han nodded and took a deep breath. When the opportunity comes, we must seize it, otherwise we will be damned.

He turned his head and said to Chen San.

"The sulfur that General Cai said seems to be on the Zhongshan side, you turn around and lead the officers and soldiers to go, don't lose your courtesy. In the future, we'll follow them! ”
