"That is smuggling, that is, disobeying the divine decree and resisting the central decree. The younger generation of sailors is the one who exterminates pirates! ”

The murderous words made Xiao Yu's heart tremble, and he felt that Fang Jun's white teeth seemed to be shining, as if a hungry beast was opening its bloody mouth, and it had already shown its fangs in the face of its prey.

But Fang Jun's words are right.

The establishment of the Municipal Department is a central decree, the result of the deliberations of the prime ministers in the political hall, and the final adoption of the three provinces through the initiation of the procedure, which is the national policy! The Jiangnan Shi clan can play some tricks in the dark and play side balls, but if they dare to openly resist the national policy, they will be punished by their own national law and discipline.

Xiao Yu, who has insight into the world, can almost predict that the Jiangnan Shi clan will face extremely harsh blows in the future.

Because the Jiangnan Shi clan, who has long regarded sea trade as a forbidden one, it is absolutely impossible for them to give the meat in their mouths to Fang Jun......

Sighing slightly, Xiao Yu said dejectedly: "That's the case, the old man brought Erlang's words to him, and how to make a trade-off, they have their own decision." However, no matter how the families decide, the Xiao family will fully support His Majesty's will and the decree of the center, and will definitely spare no effort to support Erlang. ”

The Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more prosperous, the national fortune is prosperous, and taking advantage of the trend is the way to preserve. If we only covet immediate interests and ignore the trend of the times, it will be a ruined road, and the wise will not do it.

*****

The fleet of sailors led by the Wuya battleship swept down the river until it reached the mouth of the sea, and then turned into a waterway to the south.

This is Wusongkou.

Wusong River, the ancient name of "Songjiang", and because the basin is in the territory of the ancient Wu Kingdom, it is called "Wusong River".

The Wusong River was originally the last tributary of the Yangtze River before it entered the sea, and the mouth of the Yangtze River was also called "Wusongkou". After the Ming Dynasty's "Huangpu Capture Song", the Wusong River became a tributary of Huangpu, and the mouth of the Yangtze River was still called Wusongkou, but in fact, it would be more appropriate to change it to "Huangpu Kou......

However, the Wusong River is still the most important river in Wudi now, the water is abundant, the mighty and mighty flow to the east, it is by no means comparable to the Suzhou Creek that is quiet and delicate in the future, the widest part of the estuary is trumpet-shaped, there are twenty miles wide in the look, the water surface is boundless, it is known as the "Wusong Ancient River, the road is deep and wide, and it can rival the Qianpu".

The Wuya battleship traced up the river estuary, and the water surface was still quite wide, but after all, it had not been dredged for many years, resulting in some siltation of the riverbed, and after entering the waterway, there were survey ships sent to the front to constantly measure the depth of the water and the width of the riverbed, so as to avoid the Wuya battleship with a heavy hull and a deep draft from running aground.

Fang Jun stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the mighty water, the desolate saline-alkali land on both sides of the river, a puddle of water, and the tall artemisia grass all over the place, full of the confusion of time and space.

This is Huang Xiepu, which belongs to the scope of Huating Town.

If you continue to follow this river and turn from the bifurcated river to another river, the Huangpu River, which will be where Shanghai will be located in the future.

At the extreme, thousands of years later, the bustling city with bright lights and singing and running horses seems to stand in front of you.

Well, there can be an avenue along the river on the left side, and a tower on the right side, but the strange shape of the two balls connected on the tower body is impossible to make in this era, let alone the height of 468 meters......

Tracing the flow of time and space, things are not people!

On the boat-shaped water, the smoke is mighty.

A quarter of an hour later, I saw a water village standing on the west bank, but from a distance, it was not small but very dilapidated, with a few stars and a few sailor warships leaning against the pier. However, countless huge timbers were piled up on the shore not far from the water village, which was very conspicuous, like a huge wooden mountain.

During the Xianhe period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Yutan and Yuan Shansong successively built the Shanghai fortress at the mouth of the Wusong River to protect the east wing of Suzhou, and even when it came to the Southern Dynasty, it was also an important military town. After the Sui Dynasty conquered the Southern Dynasty, a military town was set up here, named Huating Town, and a naval division was sent to garrison the Jiangkou and defend Suzhou.

Most of the military system of the Tang Dynasty was inherited from the former Sui Dynasty, and the garrison of Huating Town only changed a set of military uniforms and a set of flags, and they were still stationed here......

Fang Jun looked at the vast saline-alkali land and reeds around him, and he felt like he was beeping a dog. This is your fiefdom! How good would it be if it were the Pearl of the Orient 1,400 years from now? Even if it's Matsue Mansion a thousand years ago! But what else is there here now besides reeds, artemisia and saline?

What's the use of sealing yourself in this broken place? It is estimated that not a single bucket of grain can be harvested......

The fleet arrived at the water village, and the garrison in the village discovered this huge fleet, and many soldiers surrounded the trestle bridge, pointing at the fleet in the river, and were amazed.

I've been stationed here for years, but I've never seen such a large fleet.

Especially that five-tooth battleship, it's a good one! That's too big, right?

The Wuya battleship slowly docked, Fang Jun jumped off the warship and stepped on the trestle surrounded by soldiers, and a military general hurriedly ran over, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "The last general, Yang Xiuwu, the commander of the Huating Town Water Division, see Hou Ye." ”

Fang Jun glanced at this person, although he was very respectful, he was quite displeased.

He was dressed crookedly in armor, his face was red and full of alcohol, his beard was scruffy and sloppy, like a bandit, more than a court general......

"Get up, the Marquis of Japan has already written to you a few days ago, I don't know how the military house is ready?"

When he left Jiangdu and had not yet arrived at Niuzhuji, Fang Jun sent someone to contact him and ordered the garrison of Huating Town to prepare the houses of the sailors and soldiers and the required military baggage.

Hearing that Fang Jun didn't greet him and asked about it directly, Yang Xiuwu had a bitter face, and said, "This...... When the general received a letter from the governor, he made every effort to raise military funds and build a house, but it was just ...... Trapped in the limited amount of money, failed to achieve the goal set by Hou Ye, and the manpower gap is too big, even if he has gone all out to build the house day and night, but after all, the time is too short, so ...... So ......"

Speaking of which, he was already spitting and sweating.

Fang Jun's prestige has been powerful since the first battle of Niu Zhuji, and a hundred iron horsemen were killed in the Nanshan mine to become bloody, and there were no less than thousands of dead souls who died under the charge of iron horses, which was really famous!

Fang Jun had already confessed his own things but he hadn't finished them, it was to send the handle to others and borrow himself to establish his authority, how could Yang Xiuwu not be afraid?

To his surprise, Fang Jun did not get angry and took the opportunity to attack, but pulled him up with a smile, and comforted him with a smile: "Why should General Yang panic? Ben Hou is not an unreasonable person. Ben Hou made a military order in front of His Majesty, and it was because of the eagerness in his heart that he was a little impatient. General Yang has made meritorious contributions to guarding Huating Town, and everything is busy, and it is common sense that he failed to complete Benhou's explanation in a hurry. Although you and I are both Tang Dynasty soldiers, and we dare not wait for half a minute of military orders, but after all, manpower is sometimes poor, as long as you work hard, Ben Hou will naturally not be harsh on you. But if it is in front of Ben Hou, or even secretly playing tricks, then it is not necessary to blame the ruthlessness of military law! ”

Yang Xiuwu was already sweating profusely, and his face was pale.

These words were said in such a whisper, which was even more terrifying than the loud voice!

Yang Xiuwu naturally knew that Fang Jun was beating himself, gritted his teeth, and said: "Thank you Lord Hou for your understanding, from today onwards, the last general will definitely take Lord Hou's head as the horse, but there is a military order, and he will go to the soup and go to the fire!" ”

Fang Jun smiled, patted Yang Xiuwu on the shoulder, did not give him a reassurance, changed the topic and said: "This place is Benhou's fiefdom, why doesn't General Yang take Benhou to inspect it?" ”

"No!"

Yang Xiuwu stood up, he didn't dare to wipe the sweat on his face, and stood in front of Fang Jun respectfully, leading Fang Jun to look around.

The former Huating Town garrison on the side looked at the always arrogant and domineering commander who was groveling and trembling, and his heart was relieved...... Is this Huating Town your family's world? It's just a matter of bullying our government soldiers, aren't you as well-behaved as rabbits in front of this chief administrator? A few days ago, I swore that if the new chief manager couldn't get to Huating Town, he would have to be thrown into the river to feed the fish......

Hmph, this time wait to be cleaned up!

However, it seems that the general manager's amiable appearance is very different from the rumored fierce and evil appearance, I wonder if he can suppress General Yang? After all, they are the children of the Hongnong Yang family......
