Guazhoudu, this is a place that many Chinese have heard of.

Du Shi Niang sinks a hundred treasure chests here, the monk Jianzhen travels east to Japan from here, Wang Anshi's Jingkou Guazhou is a water, and the land tour of the building boat is crossed by the snow melon island at night, all of which are gathered here.

In the Song Dynasty, it was the confluence of Surabaya, Bianshui and the Yangtze River, the most important passage for north-south transportation, and also the place where north-south commerce gathered.

Overlooking the Jingkou, connecting Jiankang, Jicanghai, Xiangda River, millions of boats per year, floating rivers to come, people involved in the trade of Baizhou, going back to the stream, will anchor then, it is the benefit of the north and south.

And when the war started, here and the Zhenjiang Xijindu on the other side of the Yangtze River, it became the home port of the Yanwang Army and the Song Army.

In the past, for a period of time, the sailors on both sides had fought repeatedly on the surface of the river.

The northern military ships are small, but after the eight-bull crossbow is set up, the firepower cannot be underestimated; The southern army ships are large and can be equipped with more eight-bull crossbows, but the power of a single eight-ox crossbow is weak. Both sides have their own strengths and weaknesses in terms of hardware. However, in terms of software, Zhang Rong is far less familiar with the water conditions in the waters of the Yangtze River than Zhang Gongyu.

So much so that the two reached an impasse in the short term.

The dark clouds of war once again loomed over Jiangnan after a lapse of nine years. The damage to Jiangnan was so deep that many years have passed since then, and it has not been completely recovered.

Now the flames of war are burning again, making the whole Jiangnan tremble.

The people of the villages on the banks of the North and South rivers fled their homes one after another.

Not only is I afraid of being affected by the war, but I am also afraid that I will be pulled by the soldiers on both sides.

A large number of Song troops filled the gap on the south bank, where they set up barracks and set up water camps. Li Gang, who retreated from Yangzhou to the south bank, really made a hundred points of effort along the Zhenjiang line, because the success or failure of his "strategic plan" depended entirely on whether the Song army's naval and land soldiers could hold Zhenjiang.

If you hold here, the offensive of the northern army will be unsustainable, and Jiangnan will be able to gain temporary stability; If you can't hold here, you can let the northern army enter the south bank of the river, that is, the tiger out of the box, that is, the dragon into the sea.

In the night, with the slow flow of the river, a small speedboat slowly approached the station of the Song Army's naval division. In the dim moonlight, the little clippers were so small, but what they were carrying now was so big.

Naturally, the garrison of the water camp will not be relaxed, but the guards on the watchtower and arrow tower at the entrance of the station, with the greeting of the man on the boat, will no longer pay attention to this small boat. It is very common for boats to come in and out of the water camp, even at night, there are patrols on the river, and the boat can reach the entrance safely, obviously the man on the bow is an acquaintance.

The boat rowed silently into the depths of the water village.

"Brothers, bring your things, let's go find Zhang Chong! If we do a good job in this deal, we will have a settlement in the second half of our lives, and we will be able to eat, drink and enjoy comfortably in the future, and we will be inexhaustible. ”

The man's face was rough, and his words also carried a smell of rivers and lakes, followed by four brothers, two holding small boxes, and two carrying a larger box, following the man to the tent of Zhang Chongjun, the commander of the water division.

There were many soldiers on duty at the ship's station, but no one came to stop them.

The four little brothers marched firmly towards the goal in the cheers of the boss, their eyes were shining brightly, and they were thinking about Jinyiwei's promise all the time. They are no bigger than the king, and their family wealth is thousands, and a hundred yuan is already a large amount. Not to mention, this is to do things for King Yan, once the thing is done, no matter whether it is successful or not, their past crimes can be written off, and they can also share a piece of land as a meritorious minister, not to mention how much profit they can share from Boss Wang when they disperse, not to mention the hundred yuan of money, as long as there is this piece of land, they can eat in the soil, and they can live comfortably for the rest of their lives.

As long as they thought of the beautiful life in the future, the four of them felt that they were full of inexhaustible strength.

What's not worth taking this risk, but being happy for the rest of your life?

In the past, they followed Boss Wang to sell smuggled salt on the river, which was also a head-killing business, wasn't it?

Yes, Boss Wang, a smuggler in the waters of the Yangtze River, was looked at by Jinyiwei because he had some connections with that Zhang Chong. As long as he can convince Zhang Chong, everything in the past will be written off, and there will be another reward.

This is a great temptation for Wang Dake.

Selling smuggled salt is a way to make money, but it is also a way to find death. It seems to be more magnanimous than when he dared to sell smuggled salt for a pound or two of smuggled salt, but in fact? Just as harsh very.

Because illegal salt is a volume, who trafficks in illegal salt is not hundreds of catties, or even dozens of stones and hundreds of stones? Ten pounds and eight pounds can make fart money.

Boss Wang has made a lot of money from trafficking in illicit salt over the years, even if he gives up expenses and dots, such as the cost of contacting Zhang Chong, he still has a lot of money in his hands.

But what if he has money?

The foundation is not clean, and the court can click him anytime and anywhere.

For the sake of the future, Wang Da could only take risks this time.

Besides, if the overall situation is in the north and no longer in the south, don't look at the fact that the northern army on the Yangzhou side can't break through the Yangtze River for a while, but the people's Western Route Army has already crossed the Yangtze River.

Jingxiang in the upper reaches has been lost, and the Yangtze River natural insurance can still be regarded as a fart natural insurance?

At this time, didn't you jump ship early to defect to the new master and follow the old emperor to die?

Wang Da knows Zhang Chong, so he is not a die-hard loyalist.

He has figured everything out, and he realizes that this task is not a life of death, but only a thrill and no danger.

Who called the Zhao Guanjia in the south too frustrating.

Compared to the Yan King in the Northland, it can be said that it is inferior everywhere. Not to mention the national situation, which is too different from each other. Such a civil and military courtier in the world, why don't you let other people's good birds choose trees to perch on?

Don't you look at the father and son of the Yao family, the father and son of Zhang Shuye, and the father and son of Liu Tao, one after another?

They all descended, why did Zhang Chong work for it?

Today's southern country is a dilapidated house full of loopholes, and there are too many ways to take advantage of the gaps. The men and horses in the north can't break the stalemate on the frontal battlefield for a while, but from the side battlefield, people have too many means and loopholes to drill.

Without Zhang Chong, Wang Chong, Li Chong, and Liu Chong, too many people are waiting to change jobs.

Moreover, Wang Da has not only the edict of King Yan in his arms, but also the edict of the emperor, and he doesn't know whether it is true or not, if it is true, then the official family in the south will be too sad. But that's just a means, isn't it? A means of 'persuading' Zhang Chong is not?

The north is strong and the south is weak, and the strength is not as good as others, so you can only be bullied like this.
