It was not until the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty that the situation changed fundamentally after the British seized the Xiangjiang River from the Qing Dynasty.

After all, the foreigners have strong ships and guns, the law is like that, and since the British came, they have continued to invest in real estate here, and the Xiangjiang Islands and their surroundings have flourished since this time, and the islanders have more livelihood outlets.

As a result, these Tando sea people, who were also people and thieves, gradually became commoners under the rule of the British Empire, and turned to all kinds of colonial trades, except for some people who still made a living by catching the sea.

Today, however, the 17th-century Xiangjiang Islands are a real pirate den.

Ren Ke also went to Xiangjiang with the Assassin, and for this kind of action, as Ren Ke, who was determined to lead troops to fight, would never let go.

The reason why these two want to break into that pirate's den now is definitely not to use a hundred Type 57 rifles to pretend to be forced to slap them in the face and kill all sides.

It's true that the two brothers are enthusiastic members of the Firepit Club, but their brains are not yet funny enough to challenge the local pirates with the strength of this small boat.

The two of them went to Xiangjiang Island to transport refugees, and not only the assassin ship participated, but also three other Cantonese galleons.

Of the three sailing ships, two belonged to the Zhong family and one belonged to the Qiao family.

Of course, if you talk about the battles they may encounter, the two have already done their homework, as far as personal equipment is concerned, in Xiao Ai's cabin, there are two AK47s, forty **, two German-made full-featured sapper shovels, and both brothers are carrying a Colt python **** in their arms, and each of them has four bullet boxes hanging from their waists, which contain one hundred and twenty bullets.

In addition, 100 Type 57 rifles and 8,000 rounds of ammunition have all been distributed to the sailors and garrisons, and all the personnel are loaded with bayonets and ready to wait.

Among them, 80 57-style hand @grenade @ bombs were all handed over to the student team, and this group of teenagers has now been trained to become bomb throwers.

On the morning of 25 December, after converging on the sea off the north shore of Dawanshan Island, the four ships lined up in a column with the Zhong family's galleon Hengtaixiang as the forerunner and sailed towards Dayuan Island, which is separated by a sea from the southernmost tip of Xiangjiang Island.

The task of the fleet was to transport more than 500 Tanhu seafarers from the Dayuan Bay Water Village there to Dawanshan Island for reclamation---- and the Zhong family was the leader of this operation.

Because the Da Yong Bay Water Village is the Zhong family's spice business partner on Xiangjiang Island, but now the water village is facing a harsh existential crisis.

So under the help of Shuizhai, the Zhong family, together with the Qiao family and the Australians, carried out this rescue operation.

There are more than 20 islands in the Xiangjiang Sea, which are densely scattered on the offshore sea east of the Lingding Ocean and close to the mainland.

In addition to the largest Xiangjiang Island, there are many small islands suitable for human habitation, including Dayuanwan Island, which is only one gorge away from Xiangjiang Island.

The inhabitants of the island were not locals, and they have only been here for less than ten years.

If you trace back to the source, these villagers were originally the inland Jingzhou military households of the Ming Dynasty, and they were close subordinates of the military general Zuo Liangyu at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Zuo Liangyu this person, a lifetime of endless battles, he started outside the Ningjin Pass, became famous in the pass, fought with the Tartars in the early years, and later fought with the team of Li Chuangwang and Zhang Xianzhong for a long time, and was a famous military general in the Chongzhen period.

In the first year of Hongguang (1645 AD), the Ming Ning Nanhou, the prince Shaobao Zuo Liangyu, waved hundreds of thousands of troops to the east to the "King of Qin", died of illness in Jiujiang halfway, his son Zuo Mengeng led the troops to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and was awarded the first-class Jingqi Hani Fan by the Qing court, so his subordinates shaved their heads and began to follow the master to fight for the Qing court.

Later, although their master made great achievements and was promoted to the Yellow Banner of the Han Army, this group of subordinates did not follow the light and became banner people---- they were finally incorporated into the Green Battalion of the Han Army.

Later, this group of people followed Li Chengdong, the governor of the Qing Dynasty and the governor of Jiangnan, to the south and captured Guangzhou.

In the fifth year of Shunzhi, Li Chengdong rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and regained his sight, so this group of people changed their uniforms and followed this Li Marshal to fight with the Qing army.

However, a few years later, in the battle of Xinfeng, Li Dashuai fell into the water and drowned, and his subordinates began to disperse.

From time to time, Gao Xun, the chief military officer, gathered the family members of this group of stragglers, a total of more than 5,000 people, and everyone gathered to discuss, all of them did not want to shave their hair again, and wanted to go to the southwest to vote for the Yongli Emperor, so this group of people went south to Liangguang again.

However, because the Yongli Emperor at this time had already fled to Yungui with oil on the soles of his feet, so that Guanshan was blocked, and there was no news, and the poor army and its families could not join the master, so they had to run over to the sea in western Guangdong, and then buy a boat to go south.

They originally planned to sail west to Qiong to find another way out, but they were suddenly caught in a storm during the voyage, and the fleet was carried by the storm, and finally drifted to the waters of Xiangjiang Island.

At this time, the chief military officer Gao Daren died of illness in the boat, everyone was frightened, coupled with the storm, the ship was destroyed and people were tired, and the number of women and children plummeted to less than 1,000 people, and they were no longer able to do the voyage, fortunately, Gao Jun, the son of Gao Daren, stepped forward and was elected as the leader by everyone, so on the island of the corner of the extreme sea, Lishui Village protected itself, and made a living from fishing and planting Guanxiang trees, and finally settled down temporarily.

In the following ten years, seeing that the Qing Dynasty was gradually in full swing, the villagers were even more reluctant to return to their homeland in the north, but fortunately, the emperor was far away from the emperor in this position, and the Tartar court was temporarily out of reach, so the villagers took care of themselves in this place, and lived and multiplied with peace of mind.

However, after nearly a decade of stability, the storm is back in the picture.

The year before last, the king of Pingnan Shang Kexi and the Macao Hongmaoyi encircled and suppressed the pirates near the Xiangjiang River, and many water villages were broken by the official army, because although the people of Da Yong Wan formed a village to stand on their own, they had not yet gone to sea to plunder, and the village was not large, and the behavior was not obvious, so it was always in a low-key state of survival and obscene development in the cracks, so it was spared.

Later, Xin'an County ordered Xiaoyu to order more than a dozen people in Fangyuan to shave their hair and change their clothes to show that they were obedient to the Qing Dynasty.

However, all the old people in the village of Da Yong Bay Water Village are there, thinking that they belong to the Ming Dynasty, and they are unwilling to change their old clothes, but fortunately, this Da Yuan Island is located in a remote area, the government is beyond its strength, and the edicts of the officials are not as good as this barbaric place, so in the past few years, in the Da Yong Bay Water Village, the hairstyles and costumes of the Han residents are still the same.

It's just that the people of the nearby water village have shaved their hair and are easy to wear, and when they see that Dayuan Bay is not shaved and easy to wear, there are quite a few people who are not convinced.

In addition, between the nearby villages, because of the fishing waters, fields and business disputes, there are discords from time to time, so this has been shaved and easy to obey the villagers, on the grounds that the Dayuan Water Village has not yet shaved their hair and is easy to wear, and the people of the Dayuan Water Village, after all, belong to outsiders, and the power of the people is not as good as others, every time there is a dispute, there can only be more forbearance.

A few months ago, the nearby Shishan, Datang two Dazhai because of the agarwood business fire, the two sides of the fight, both sides ignored the Da Yuan Village, and the Wan Xiang forest was burned most of the wood, so the Da Yuan Zhai people could not bear it, and more than 200 people also participated in the fight, and the result was that the Lion Mountain made a feud with it.

Unexpectedly, this lion cottage secretly communicated with Xin'an County, and the government sent 500 green battalions to Xiangjiang Island to help, and Datang Village was finally annexed by Shishanzhai.

Now the Shishanzhai claims that it wants to send 500 strong men to attack Dayuan Bay, and also sues the official that this Dayuan Bay Water Village has not yet shaved its hair and is easy to wear, and it is for the Qing Dynasty to rebel against the people, and it should be exterminated!

So Xin'an County reported to the governor of Guangdong, wanting to send a green battalion and 400 soldiers to help the lion cottage to exterminate it.

Obviously, although the people of this Dayuan Water Village have been stable for nearly ten years, the total number of women, women and children is only in their early 1,000s, of which there are less than 400 strong men.
