"The storm has finally passed."

On the top of the five-zhang high building boat pole, there is a bronze bird holding a flower, which can turn with the wind, and the bird's head is facing the direction of the wind.

At the end of September of the 35th year of Qin Shi Huang, looking at the wind instrument erected on the bow of the ship, the speed is not fast or slow, and the Huiji Boat Division, who commands five boats, leads the captain Wei Yang, and can't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

As early as last winter, they received an order from Qin Shi Huang: after picking up the Haidong soldiers, they were ready to go south and go to the south of the Yangtze River to train and garrison, so the Jiaodong Boat Division, the only naval force in the Qin Dynasty, was transformed into the "Huijizhou Division", and the commander was still Ren Huan, nominally under the command of the general Chang Nanhou of the Southern Expedition.

At the end of the summer, on the orders of the Marquis of Changnan, hundreds of ships of the Huiji Boat Division left the port of Zhufang at the mouth of the Yangtze River and went south to the sea, intending to cooperate with the army and launch an attack on Minyue from the waterway.

But there were unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and they just bypassed the Zhoushan Islands, and they encountered strong winds and waves, and the speed of the wind and waves, not to mention Wei Yang, even Xu Fu, who accompanied the army to observe the latitude and astrology of various places, had never seen it.

After being sunk by the storm several ships, the boatman had to cancel his plan to go south, and had to take refuge in the port of Ozu in the south of Huiji.

What they encountered was the "hurricane" that made people talk about in the south, that is, the typhoons of later generations, often in June and July, blowing from the sea, before the time came, the chickens and dogs would be restless before three days, and the wind would be terrified, and the broken houses and trees were not enough to show the intensity of the hurricane, and even the roof tiles would blow like flying butterflies, and the big hurricanes would last for six or seven days, and the small ones would last for one or two days.

Unfortunately, today was a windy year, and the fleet waited until a hurricane subsided, hurried on the road, and arrived at Donou, where it caught another gale, this time with heavier losses, and even though they shivered and hid in the harbor, a third of the fleet was still destroyed......

"No wonder in the past, Gou Jian attacked Wu, wanting to send troops from the sea, but worried about the mighty water, day and night, if the action is frightened, the sound is like thunder, the waves are rising, the boatman can not be saved, I don't know the fate of the maintenance, the pain of the ship, the crying can not be stopped...... That's a hurricane. ”

Xu Fu was not idle, after reading a few books from the Chunshenjun collection found in Huiji County, most of them talked about Wu Yue's past, and finally had to admit that although he could find a route with his eyes closed in the East China Sea, his eyes were black when he came to the unfamiliar southern seas.

Seeing that the turmoil was unstoppable, General Lou Chuan's Ren Huan was very anxious, but compared to him, the one who hoped that the Qin army would leave this place as soon as possible was Dongou Jun's swaying.

Located in the later generations of Wenzhou, southern Zhejiang, the history is far older than his neighbor Fujian, as early as more than two hundred years ago, lying on the salary to taste the courage, ten years of life and gathering ten years of lessons of the Yue King Goujian in order to build a large rear of Wu revenge, he sent Fan Li to come here, build the East Ou City, and recruit the seven Fujian aborigines, to join the Vietnamese army.

Later, the Yue country was destroyed by Chu, the descendants of the Yue King fled south, Dongou is also the first stop of its stay, the descendants of the Yue King rebuilt the Yue country here, and it has been passed down to the sixth generation, two generations ago, due to the habitual separation, divided into Min Yue, Dong Ou two monarchs, all called kings, Min Yue is slightly larger, there are seven, the mouth is 200,000, Dongou is narrow, the mouth is less than 100,000.

However, with the arrival of the Qin army, Dongou wisely chose to surrender and offered the mouth of the Oujiang River to anchor the Qin Dynasty's boat division.

At first, it was good, but as the southern expeditionary fleet was blocked by the storm and trapped in Dongou State, the Dongou country lacked small people, and it was exhaustive to support this large number of Qin Zhou divisions and provide them with food and clothing.

However, Ren Huan did not have half sympathy for Dongou Jun's complaints, and he yelled at the nominal "monarch" that the wood and manpower needed to reorganize the fleet must be supplied on time, and he also asked Dongou Jun to build a leather manufacturing workshop on the north bank of the Ou River to provide armor and equipment for the Qin army.

"Isn't Dongou famous for the fish skin, the sauce of the black fish, and the sword of the shark? The armor of the army was damp and decayed, and three hundred pairs of armor were sent! ”

The so-called fish skin is a scabbard made of shark skin, which is used by the Qin army to repair ships, and there is a shortage of people to hunt and fish. Dongou Jun had no choice but to use cowhide as shark skin to make up the numbers, and after being recognized, he was also shouted to the boat and reprimanded.

In this way, Dongou almost exhausted its national strength, and finally waited until the end of September, when the last hurricane stopped, the Qin army also repaired the damaged boat division, set sail, left Wenzhou Bay, and headed for the mouth of the Minjiang River hundreds of miles to the south, which was where Dongye, the capital of Minyue and Yue, was located.

Seeing thousands of sails entering the sea, this group of sea locusts full of good teeth went away, and Dongou Jun, who was eaten poor and white, couldn't help but cry with joy:

"This group of Qin people, finally left, I just hope that they will defeat Dongye as soon as possible, and don't come back!"

……

When the boat division entered the sea, Heifu had also led the army from Yuzhang to northern Fujian.

Fujian has always been a closed area, surrounded by lofty mountains and mountains in all directions. Later generations entered Fujian from other places, there were only four roads, one was Jiangxi through Chong'an Fenshui Guanren Fujian, one route was through Zhejiang through Xianxialing to enter Pucheng, one route was through Jiangxi Meiling to enter Fujian and Ninghua, and the other route was to enter Fuzhou by sea.

At present, it is almost the same, Heifu personally led 20,000 people from the old department to cross Wuyi Mountain, while Yuzhang County Wei Yintong led 10,000 soldiers from Huiji and Yanjun to pass through Xianxia Mountain. Half a year ago, it was this person who helped Xiao Tao in distress, so that Xiao Tao and his subordinates could return to Nanchang through northern Fujian.

After entering Fujian, everyone found that Yuzhang was already mountainous, and Fujian was even worse, they walked through the Minjiang River Gorge, and there were mountains and forests as far as the eye could see, and there were very few flat dams.

The difficulty of the march of the army is similar to that of trekking through thorns and thorns in the tropical rainforests of South Vietnam, but the problem is that South Vietnam only needs a fire to burn a field of plastered land, but not Fujian, before the introduction of new crops in the Americas, it is extremely difficult for the land here to feed a large number of people, and everyone has to build roads while marching, crossing the mountains with wooden stacks and stone ladders, which is why they walked a hundred miles for two months.

"No wonder the prince promised that the donkey was compassionate, saying that Qin only needs a city in Dongye, this group of mountains and mountains, lush forests and bamboos, even if you send officials, you can't find the people's governance, and if you want to garrison the army, there is no place to tuntian."

Realizing that it was better to walk on horseback than on foot, he simply dismounted and gasped for breath on the butt of Heifu's white mule.

Hefu smiled when he heard this:

"Eight mountains, one water and one field, this is Fujian, eight points of mountains can be abandoned, only one water and one field can be controlled."

The plains of Fujian are concentrated in the coastal areas, and there is only one Dongye City that is a good port at present, which is also the only area that the Qin army may occupy for a long time.

At the end of September, the group finally hollowed out the Wuyi Mountain Road and arrived at a Fujian gathering in the upper reaches of the Min River.

"Don Wu Xian, meet the prince!"

Under the guidance of Xiao Tao, he bowed to Heifu, but the Minyue accent was too heavy, and a sentence had to be repeated three times before Heifu could understand.

Seeing the dense and dense Qin soldiers like long snakes on the mountain road, there were as many as twenty or thirty thousand, and the joy was that the Qin army was powerful, and it was easy to eliminate Zou Wuzhu, the king of Minyue, and the worry was that he was a small lord of Fujian, and the number of soldiers and people under his rule was this, and now so many people came in one breath, I am afraid that he will be poor.

"Shameless Chief."

Heifu got off the mule to help him up, and was polite for a while, praising him for understanding the righteousness and being able to help Daqin eliminate evil, and he would definitely commend him to the imperial court and make him the new Minyue monarch.

Immediately, he looked at the Fujian people beside Su Wuxian, who were skinny and skinny, short in stature, and stared at Qin Bing's fine armor with green eyes, and quipped: "Your group of subordinates, could it be that they haven't eaten enough?" Why do we all look like hungry ghosts, staring at us like this, I'm afraid they don't want to eat people? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

Su Wuxian hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, although Minyue is a foreign barbarian, it has no cannibalistic vice, and it is the South Vietnamese tribes that eat people!" The person who is killed, the one with beautiful sideburns, is to skin his face, cage it in bamboo, and dry, call it a ghost, encourage it, in order to seek welfare, revenge and attack, will kill and eat it! Therefore, Nanyue often attacks and kills with our department, and they eat Minyue people, which is called a ruthless! ”
