The accompanying clerk registered the number, and then patted the registration form on his chest with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "It's more than 20,000 levels." ”

"A rare big victory." He Baihu said with a smile: "During the Northern Expedition, it was not bad to have news from us to boost the morale of the north. In my opinion, our prince will not be a prince in the future, but should be a prince. ”

"The best." A guard said: "Otherwise, the two governments and the official family will be too fucking stingy." ”

There was a low laughter all around, Xu Zixian killed the big ginseng in Beijing, because the blood was similar, and it was rumored to be the candidate of the prince, and the result was deeply jealous of the Son of Heaven, and then this long time has been forcibly suppressed by the Son of Heaven, otherwise with Xu Zixian's repeated achievements, especially the extermination of the Qishan thieves, the henchman of the Fujian Road, although the official household was sealed, in fact, everyone knew that if the general clan prince made such a great achievement, it would be directly awarded to the Guogong.

"Nan'an Gong?"

"Probably not." There is an expert humanitarian: "The princes of this dynasty are generally double characters, and when they are first granted to the country, they are generally awarded the title of the small country, and when they grow older and their prestige is rising, they will change to the big country and the country." For example, King Zhao was awarded the Duke of Ju at the beginning, and later awarded the Duke of Chu, and finally the King of Zheng, and then changed to the King of Zhao. ”

"It's so troublesome to do, how many times does the edict have to run."

"Red tape, it's not necessary, I don't think the Son of Heaven wants to bother more about this matter, plus our princes and princes have enough credit, it is estimated that it is directly granted to the big country and the country."

"Qi Chu, Wei and Han have it now, I don't know which big country it will be."

"It's just an American name anyway."

Li Guozhu walked on the seashore with a long pillar, paying attention to the shadows under his feet from time to time, in case pirates raided him. The search and arrest work is not completely risk-free, and in the past few days, more than 20 people have been raided by pirates, but fortunately, only a few people have been slightly injured.

The pirates were hiding in the dark, not given water, and the physical strength consumed after the war was not replenished, and they were frightened, so the seemingly ferocious pounce action was actually extremely weak, and most of the pounces were just to die quickly, so you don't have to care too much, just be careful.

Li Guozhu shook his head and suddenly smiled to himself.

The court, the Son of Heaven, the two governments, and any pacification envoys, King Zhao, he doesn't care, and he doesn't care.

What he cared about was that Nan Anhou had recovered and continued to be on the Eastern Domain.

Whether it is a prince or a prince, or something else, as long as the prince is on the island, there is no need to be afraid, as long as he does things according to the instructions.

On the island, he already has a place to live, two gatehouses are full of farm tools, leaving the smell of fresh earth, three side rooms, three main rooms, there are rooms for piling up grain and grains, there are stoves, Li Guozhu and his wife have two children, they live quite comfortably, they have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, the furniture is fresh, less than half a year, and the fragrance of fresh wood.

Recalling the years when he was a homeless person, the day was precarious, and when it rained in winter, the whole family was drenched, and Li Guozhu hugged his wife and children and cried in the rain.

Li Guozhu didn't want to experience such a day in his life, so when the pirates attacked, he held a polished old sword and carried his bow and arrows to prepare for battle in front of the long base.

He was determined not to take half a step back, if he died, the Hou Mansion would be finished, and his wife and children would probably not be able to live, whether they couldn't live, this filthy world might as well be happy to die.

And if Li Guozhu is dead and the Hou Mansion is still there, it will be even better, the family will be bereavement, and someone will take care of his wife and children, until his son grows up and he will set up a household, and Li Guozhu has nothing to worry about.

Most of the Minzhuang who were preparing for battle in the long base had the same idea, so when the pirates raided, the Minzhuang array did not fluctuate in the slightest, and it was easy to block the pirates who tried to dodge through the long base to the inner realm.

At that time, there were some dead and wounded in Minzhuang, which were not serious, and some were injured in the continuous search and arrest in the past two days, and no one was killed in battle.

Everyone is very happy, even Li Guozhu has never been so happy in his life.

I was very happy when I got married, but when I thought of supporting my wife and children from now on, I always felt a little heavy when I was happy.

Of course, he was happy when he gave birth to his son, but Li Guozhu, who was gradually weighed down by the burden of life, was out of breath.

Then there was the endless suffering, the flight when the pirates came, the displacement, the work in the Nan'an Hou Mansion, the resettlement of the Eastern Domain, and the life of prosperity that I could not have imagined.

At this time, Li Guozhu was of course extremely happy, but this happiness was like being in a dream, and there was always a little unreal feeling.

Because everything came too fast, and it was all a gift from someone else.

After defeating the pirates, Li Guozhu went to the Jingguan to see, 20,000 heads piled up on the seashore, this is an unimaginable landscape for ordinary people, and the kind of horror can make a big man pee his pants in fear.

But Li Guozhu was not afraid at all, not only was he not afraid, but he watched it at the Jingguan for a long time, and finally laughed.

The government army stationed next to him thought that this man was stupid and wanted to come over to help him, Li Guozhu waved his hand and left, he still couldn't help laughing.

While laughing, Li Guozhu also stepped on the ground hard, feeling the solidity of the earth.

At this moment, he realized something, and then a feeling of pleasure seemed to hit his heart from his waist, and his whole body trembled, trembling, and then tears welled up in his eyes.

At that moment, Li Guozhu understood that all this was earned by himself, and he worked hard to get it. He followed the craftsmen to build bricks and houses, he opened the foundations of the settlements, and together with donkeys, horses, and mules, he pulled stones and grinds to level the land.

He used his knife to cut down the bushes, cut down all the weeds and vines, and then set fire to the surrounding farmland from the settlement, and then every morning at dawn he began to burn the wasteland, plough the land, build canals, and go home until it was dark.

Quite hard and well worth it.

Even so, there is still an illusory sense that Li Guozhu can never be steady in his heart, and when he defeated the pirates of the large number and saw the mountain-like head, Li Guozhu was really happy, and a big stone seemed to have fallen in his heart, he knew that everything was not false, everything was so real.

If there is still someone who doesn't believe in everything that happened in the Eastern Domain, and doesn't trust everything around him, then it's simple, just ask him to go to the Jingguan to have a look.

This is the real truth, the bloody truth, if someone dares to come and take everything that everyone has now, Li Guozhu will tell him to go to Jingguan to see if he can bear such a price.

And Li Guozhu dared, and did not hesitate.

After midnight, people get a quarter of an hour of rest, many people sit on the gentle slope of the sea to rest, the night is very good, the moon is bright and bright, the starry sky is bright, and the sea breeze blows at night, which makes people feel quite cool and comfortable.

Many people's robes were soaked with sweat, and the sea breeze blew in them, which made the heat on their bodies a lot less.

Many people began to talk about the harvest of beans and cotton, and it is estimated that this matter will be busy for a day or two, and then it is estimated that the cavalry battalion, the guards, and part of the government army will continue to be responsible for hunting down the remaining pirates.

Most of the people, except for a few who have been transferred to the central part of the country to build ports and wharves and roads, most of them will start to harvest in the fields.

The beans are harvested first, and after the beans are harvested, they may rest for three to five days while the beans are exposed to the sun, and then the cotton harvest begins.

There was a lot of discussion, and some wanted to grow more rice, because of the climate of the Eastern Domain, rice could be harvested at least twice a year, and if it went well, it could not be harvested three times a year.

The settler will salivate as soon as he calculates.

Of course, the requirements and standards of three crops a year are too high, Fujian Road has long introduced the rice seeds of the Champa country, this kind of rice is called Champa rice, the legend says that some people have three crops a year, in fact, they are planted twice a year and harvested twice.

Even if it's only two seasons, it's still an unimaginable harvest.

The goal of the Nan'an Hou Mansion is to open up more wasteland in the short term, which even Li Guozhu knows, and the longer-term goal is of course to occupy more territory, large islands in the south, and one of the largest plains in the world in the north, a wider land.

The land is so big, when you occupy a large enough territory, guide the people to divert the land, so that the per capita land is maintained at the level of at least a few tens of acres, as the industry is more developed, absorb more people, and ultimately it is a win-win situation.

Of course, this may take a long time, at least in the eyes of Li Guozhu, who are now thinking about planting beans or rice, or expanding cotton fields to obtain higher returns.

For ordinary people, this is really a headache and a happy hope.

"There's a fire."

Li Guozhu had been sitting cross-legged on the ground with squinting eyes, and at this moment he stood up suddenly, first glanced at the sea with a suspicious gaze, and then shouted with all his strength: "There is movement on the sea, there is fire, and there are fireships crashing into enemy ships!" ”

"Yes, I saw it too!"

"Is it a sailor?"

"Did the imperial court send a sailor?"

"Impossible, impossible." He Baihu looked at the sea, and then turned to the crowd: "The last sailor of the imperial court is in our hands, in the port of Penghu, and the prince told them not to fight." We also heard in Fuzhou that those big people didn't consider coming to aid our Eastern Domain at all, and the defense plan they arranged didn't include the Eastern Domain at all. The pirates have not yet come, martial law is imposed everywhere in Fuzhou and Quanzhou, and the forbidden army has been deployed to various military states, and no big man has thought of sending ships and troops to our Eastern Domain. Even if they send one army of forbidden troops with several armies of van troops, hundreds of lucky boats and fishing boats will always come out? But no one cares about us, it's not that I'm lying to everyone, that's the case, after this battle, someone will know it when they go back to Fuzhou. ”

Everyone knows that what He Baihu said is the truth, there is no need to spread rumors to confuse the public in this matter, and there is indeed no such person in Fuzhou who has the courage and prestige to lead the way.

Under such a complicated situation as Fuzhou, who would take the risk of sending ordinary merchant ships and fishing boats to the Eastern Domain with an army that was not enough in the first place?

"Whose ship will it be?"

"There is no other possibility." He Baihu said categorically: "This is the battleship of our own naval division, they killed it!" ”

……

The firelight on the sea was first dotted, like the reflection of starlight in the sea, and then the firelight was magnificent, and then the sound of killing also rose.

Xu Zixian, Qin Dongyang and the Ge family brothers and other generals were all awakened, and everyone gathered above the port, and under the moonlight, someone originally lit it with a torch, but it was extinguished by Xu Zixian's order, so that it was easier to observe the situation on the sea.

It was as if someone had opened a magic box and magic appeared.

The whole sea was originally calm, only the reflection of the stars and moonlight, and after there was movement and shouts of killing, the whole sea seemed to suddenly turn on a light, no, it was brighter and brighter than the light.

Countless small boats were ignited in an instant, probably in the darkness these small boats had already dived to the side of the pirate ship, and then the first ship was discovered, and the pirates let out a scream of killing, but the distance was too close, the small boat caught fire, and slammed into the side of the hull of a large ship, soaked in tung oil and filled with firewood, and even sprinkled with some gunpowder The boat was no worse than explosives, and when there was a little fire, the whole fire swelled up, and the whole boat became a huge, burning, frightening torch.

Xu Zixian and others saw that after several small boats caught fire like an explosion, the people on board at close range did not have time to dodge, and their bodies caught fire instantly, and the whole person burned like a torch, and they quickly struggled to jump into the seawater, but after being burned by the fire, it was difficult for people to escape in the seawater, and it was estimated that they drowned directly in the sea.

It was quite a spectacular, incomparably spectacular, and incomparably tragic scene.

The arsonist of the boat was not burned in one or two cases, but dozens or hundreds of cases, and when they saw the burning people jumping off the boat one by one, almost all the people on the shore were stunned and even burst into tears.

This kind of attack is quite effective, many fire people before jumping into the sea also fixed the claw iron cable on the pirate ship, so that the fire ship will be adsorbed in the past, after the fire is close to the wooden ship, even if there is sea water on the side of the ship, it is useless, the sea ships are made of thoroughly dried wood, and the wooden ship without drying can not last, when the Zheng family sailors were at the end of their ropes, mainly after the Qing court and the Dutch colluded, the Zheng sailors used half-dry wood to build ships, those ships were of inferior quality, and they were easily damaged or sunk.

The pirate ship is certainly not an inferior ship, it is very dry, and it has to be regularly painted to ensure dryness, and after the ignition ship approaches, these large ships are also burning in less than a few minutes.

More humanoid torches appeared, and after the ship burned, many pirates were caught off guard and engulfed in flames.

Many people let out horrible screams and then struggled to jump from the boat, slamming and falling into the water.

Some pirates took advantage of the fire to attack the boat with the trebuchet on the ship, and the trebuchet made a thumping sound, and most of the stones fell into the sea, stirring up the water column, and a small number of stones hit the small boat that was already on fire, and the whole boat and the fire were blown up, and there were firewood burning everywhere, which seemed to set the whole sea on fire.

Xu Zixian held his breath and held his breath, and the hand holding the barrier knife at his waist was clenched until the joints turned white.

At this moment, a simple analysis can understand that the attacker in front of him must be the Nan'an Sailor from Penghu, and there is no second possibility.

Fuzhou, Zhejiang, these are the two closest roads, there are not many garrisons, and there are many garrisons in Jiangling, but they are too far apart, and they are separated by several roads, even if they want to send troops, they have to be allowed by the imperial court.

Fujian Road can directly send troops to help, but with the information Xu Zixian obtained, as well as the understanding of Lin Douyao and King Zhao, if the Eastern Domain is conquered, Lin Douyao will be a little depressed, but at most he will be depressed for a few days, and then he will find a way to compete with King Zhao for the inheritance of the Eastern Domain.

King Zhao is afraid that he will beat gongs and drums and sing a big opera at home for a few days.

Even if King Zhao is hindered by his identity, it is not easy to do too much, after all, he is his uncle, and it is difficult for others to say anything about killing people for power, but Uncle Zhao can't fight his nephew, his nephew died in the hands of foreign enemies, Uncle Zhao jumped up excitedly at home, this word is still a little embarrassing, I think King Zhao will not be too happy, but Xu Ziwei, Xu Ziwen brothers, I'm afraid it's really crazy to be happy.

Xu Zixian showed a contemptuous smile on his face, these people have no ability except for internal strife, to be honest, even if it is internal strife, they are not opponents. Now Xu Zi's first thought is to lay a solid foundation, a real foundation, so he retreated for the time being, now the foundation has been solid, and wait for the day of civil strife on Fujian Road, when the time comes, show these rat-eyed rats what it means to be the king.

In front of them, the sea is like fireworks blooming, incomparably bright, incomparably gorgeous, the spectacle in front of them is the most magnificent sonata played by the soldiers with loyalty, with life, with pain, with blood, only these loyal and brave soldiers, will risk coming here without a military order, and it is quite obvious that they succeeded.

A large number of warships caught fire, often painted and oiled for maintenance, the original giant ships made of dry wood were extremely vulnerable in the face of fire attacks, as long as the fire was together, it was basically hopeless.

Although there is water all around, and the inexhaustible supply of sea water is at your feet, how do you get it? The tongue of fire first licked the side of the ship, and then burned to the deck, and the people on the deck still felt that the fire was not big, but if they didn't jump into the sea to escape at this time, they would basically lose the chance to escape.

Because after the flames licked to the deck, the whole deck with sail rope utensils will be burned in the shortest possible time, and at this time the entire ship has become a huge torch, many people only think of escaping from the sea at this time, but it is too late, so in the eyes of Xu Zixian and others, a large number of pirates ran out of the most prosperous place of the fire, bathed in fire, and became a moving fire man, they screamed and ran to the side of the ship with the same fire, jumped down, and nine out of ten will die in the sea. Because they had been badly burned, they were unconscious, and they were instantly unconscious by the sea, and they drowned.

Except for a few lucky people, the fire on the body has just ignited, the fire was extinguished after jumping into the sea, they swam hard in the sea, hoping to stay away from the battlefield, but unfortunately it backfired, the whole sea is full of battlefields, from the fire, there are almost no small boats leaning towards the big ships, there are burning giant ships everywhere, each big ship is hundreds of materials or even nearly a thousand materials, each ship is burning equal to dozens of small boats burning, the burning giant ship released and splashed sparks, the fire soared into the sky, it seemed to go straight to the sky, several dozen giant ships burned together, It's a wonder of the world, and there's nothing more magnificent and heart-warming than it.
