Chapter 261: Aftermath
The people on the ship went down like ants, and a strong man like Huang Laigui felt that the hull was quite cramped and uncomfortable, and he could only squat or crawl at the bottom of the cabin, and he was tall and couldn't straighten his waist.
Hammocks filled all the space, and sailors and sailors lived in separate quarters to avoid disturbing each other.
Sailors sleep in shifts, one group of people do the work on the ship, and the other group sleeps and rests on the ship, and there is nowhere to go if they don't sleep.
The same is true of the sailors, who are divided into three groups, one group resting, one group wielding ballistas, and one group patrolling and guarding the towers.
Such a ship, with the maximum saturation of personnel and taking turns off, can maintain the vitality of the ship, and at the same time the crew is also in the healthiest and most energetic state.
In terms of diet, a lot of meat is prepared, and the most important thing is beans, which is the characteristic of Chinese sea vessels.
Fu No. 1 quickly returned to normal, and at this time, there was a sound of cannons on the shore, and Huang Laifu didn't care to see his brother at this time, so he immediately ordered: "Raise the sails." ”
Sixteen sailors listened to the order and began to operate the lifting of the heavy mainsail.
If it is not moored by the Min River, the time is more than two days, and generally speaking, the mainsail does not fall.
It was not easy for the mainsail to be raised, and under the command of Huang Laifu, more than a dozen sailors were sweating, shouting trumpets, and raising the heavy mainsail layer by layer.
Fu 2, Fu 3, Water 1, Water 2, Water 3, Ling 1, Ling 2, the entire Min River bank is the same scene, under the command of all boatswain and sail line chief, raise the mainsail, adjust the foresail and tail sail, under the command of the captain, the deputy leads people to raise the rudder, sideways over the hull and begins to eat the wind, ready to set off.
In Qi Jiguang's sailors, the fortune boat is the main ship against the Japanese invaders, he divides the ship into six classes, the first and second class are both big ships that break the waves and plow the enemy, and then there are fourth-class boats, small boats can participate in the war without borrowing the wind in the river, and the first and second class lucky boats have to rely on the wind, which is quite inconvenient for Qi Jiguang to use.
A large number of Zhangzhou refugees had already been prepared, and for a while the sailors of the capital were blessed, more refugees poured into the rest of the ships.
Each ship had to carry hundreds of people, usually in family units, and when they boarded the ship, some entered the cabin, and a large number of displaced people were directly placed on the deck.
If Xu Zixian was here, he would inevitably have some emotion, the scene in front of him was like a scene of escape in the movie, the old and the young were sitting on the deck, quite embarrassed and embarrassed.
But for all the displaced people, there are fears, fears, and reluctance, but more of them are expectations for a new life, for these people, to be able to settle down and eat well, this is the most important thing, to leave their hometown, Fujian people are still afraid of such small things?
"Alright, settle down." Li Guozhu sat cross-legged on the deck and let out a long sigh.
Everyone sat firmly, and looked up, the sails had begun to eat the wind, the hull was adjusted, standing on the side of the deck, looking through the lookout hole, I only saw the two sides of the Min River and the white river water was rowed, the hull vibration was not very strong, in the end the river boat was much more stable.
Although Li Guozhu is a native of Zhangzhou, he is a big girl in a sedan chair on such a large sea ship, and for the first time, he is a complete farmer, who has been digging in the soil for half his life.
After taking a few breaths, Li Guozhu touched the four taels of silver and the usual copper coins in his arms, and felt much more stable in his heart.
These silver were exchanged for copper coins, and it was inconvenient to carry too many copper coins, and it was too eye-catching. However, when he looked around, Li Guozhu realized that most of the homeless families were full of red faces, and there was no such kind of yellow-skinned homeless appearance, and many children were still wearing half-new robes, which were bought in ready-to-wear shops, some of them were worn and damaged, and they were almost the same as new clothes when they were repaired...... From the point of view of the poor, of course.
There are many men in charge, who seem to be carrying copper coins and silver taels in their arms, and their eyes are as vigilant as Li Guozhu's, and when they look at each other and wake up again, these men bow their heads, and then smiles appear on their faces.
Indeed, it is different now than it was then.
Li Guozhu touched the silver and copper coins on his waist again, and his sense of security became stronger.
After a while, the sailors on the ship began to distribute pancakes, Fujian Road itself eats mainly rice, there is very little pasta, these cakes are still the fine noodles that Xu Zixian sent people to buy in Fucheng, with mixed noodles to make the women in the town rush to burn out, the boat travels for a few days, it is too troublesome to cook on the fire, there are too many people on the boat, and it is most convenient to have clear water with cakes.
Some people brought some pickles and the like, and Li Guozhu also took out the pickles from his arms, gave some to the Hun family and their children, and with the water in the water hyacinth, everyone began to feast.
After eating, after a short while, someone shouted: "Come and see, Fuzhou Fucheng." ”
Everyone suddenly became a sensation, Li Guozhu hugged his youngest son and squeezed to the port side with everyone, the sailors put down the splint, and the entire Fuzhou Mansion City was exposed to everyone.
On the north side of the river is a continuous stretch of villages, because it is still noon, the roofs of many houses are smoking, and the smoke above the city of Fuzhou is even heavier.
The whole city has 120,000 steps, more than 90,000 city walls, arrow towers, corner towers, main gate towers, urn cities, all available.
The city base has four zhang high, the city wall of the brick is three zhang high, the whole city is seven zhang high above the horizontal plane, in the eyes of ordinary people, this city is like the palace in the sky, majestic and magnificent, it makes people feel fascinated.
"It's not a big ......" an old sailor said with a smile: "I went to Beijing with Nan'an Hou last year, passing through Jiangling, that city is really big, more than 60 miles wide, several times larger than this Fuzhou city." ”
"Isn't Jingshi bigger?"
"Jingshi is not as big as Jiangling." The old sailor said: "Jingshi repaired the southern city during the years of Renzong and Xuanzong, otherwise, it is much smaller than Jiangling." ”
"It's strange, Jingshi is not as big as Jiangling."
"Gangneung was also the national capital from the beginning." The old sailor looked disdainful, in fact, he also heard these things when he listened to Chen Daojian and Chen Zuocai and others chatting on the boat: "Later, Emperor Taizu felt that the northern border defense could not be taken lightly, so he changed the old Youzhou City to Jingshi, and the additional city wall was mainly to defend the northern captives, and later in the Renxuan period, the strength of the northern captives declined, and the security threat to the north became smaller, and then the southern city was added, and there were many villages and towns outside the city living according to the city, and the Beijing division prospered. However, compared to those dense towns outside Gangneung, Jingshi is far behind. ”
The city of the Great Wei Dynasty must be the center of all parties, there are aristocratic mansions, official offices, temples, and academic palaces in the city, and the so-called science, education, culture and health are all in the city, which is the core of a radius of hundreds or even hundreds of miles.
From the county seat to the prefecture, the government, and then to Jiangling, Suzhou, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other large cities, but some of the cities are trade-based, some are military-type, Beijing is the political and military center of the rise of the regime in order to resist foreign races, and Jiangling is still far from the commercial center and cultural center of Jiangling.
"Let's take a look twice...... an old homeless man suddenly burst into tears, he said: "This time it is hundreds of miles away from the mainland, and if you want to go back to Zhangzhou, you can't see Fuzhou again." ”
"That's a stupid dick." A homeless person said: "We Fujian people didn't cry like this when we went to Nanyang, we went to the Eastern Domain to have land, there was a Hou Mansion to take care of, and we were officials, what a good thing, cry a ball!" ”
Most of the displaced people have the same opinion, Fujian people are not afraid to leave their hometown, as long as they have a good future to run, but no matter what, seeing the Fuzhou city gradually go away, there are only thousands of waves ahead, when the endless sea is in front of them, everyone inevitably begins to feel melancholy.
……
Xu Zixian stayed in Fuzhou Mansion for the past few days.
He handed over the heads and prisoners, and symbolically handed over some of the captures...... It's all worthless clutter.
In addition, the state armies were urged to be on guard, and those who swam in the water and sailed away from the pirates should not be taken lightly.
In the next three or four days, news came in one after another...... Some pirates are also really brave, dozens of miles away actually swam to the shore, and then were patrolled by the Xiang army and the people Zhuang or killed or captured, a few days later more than 100 pirates were captured and killed, except for Luo Si who ran away from the sea in the boat, the entire Qizhou and Zhangzhou, Fuzhou, Xinghua Army and other places have no longer see the trace of Qishan pirates.
But at this time, it was not the time to celebrate the crown, and unlike everyone expected, Xu Zixian deliberately emphasized that Luo Si and others should not be taken lightly, and even submitted many documents to the pacification envoys, the punishment envoys and the patrol envoys Yamen, as well as Fuzhou Mansion, Xinghua Army, Zhangzhou and other places, all emphasized that the remnants of the Qizhou thieves should not be taken lightly.
Luo Si and others have been thieves for many years, and more than 100 people who escaped can go around fighting and turning into a disaster place, and if they are not careful, the villages and towns will be destroyed, and then the people will be coerced onto the boat.
For these remnants, since there is no longer hope of recruiting peace, the looting will definitely kill even worse, and even cause a large number of bloodsheds, large-scale displacement of people, and the destruction of families.
Xu Zixian's official statement stated that in order to prevent the remaining bandits from causing trouble and harming the localities, the Nan'an Water Battalion invited them to patrol the areas of Qizhou and Penghu. Naturally, no one came to refute him in this matter, Xu Zixian said solemnly, who can refute him? If something happens, isn't this a sturdy black pot on the head?
Then there is Yang Shiwei, Zheng Liqi, including the king of Qi has been to the court and the two mansions, Xu Zixian Qizhou won a great victory, indicating that he has his talent in military and political affairs, for the sake of the imperial court, Fujian Road, at least the Fuzhou Mansion Xiang army should be handed over to Xu Zi to lead first, one is to pay for his merits, and the other is to use his talents.
If Xu Zixian is used to manage and train the defense battalions of dozens of armies on the Fujian Road, then in the next one or two years, there will be a large number of pirates to attack for Chen Yutai's suppression, and Xu Zixian will also be responsible for the defense of Fujian, which is also a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
The aftermath of the incident was the detailed reports of the major newspapers in Fuzhou and the other prefectures on the events of the First World War in Qizhou.
Among them, the weekly newspaper is the heaviest, the main writer Wei Yi's article is also very well written, causing a sensation, a few days later it was reprinted by the newspapers of Lianghu and Liangguang and then to Liangzhejiang South and Lianglu everywhere, not only Xu Zixian became famous, and once again entered the eyes of everyone, Wei Yi, the main writer, also took a lot of advantage, many newspapers have inquired about Wei Yi's person, to know that he has just returned to Fujian, is waiting to be assigned to the new science and technology Jinshi, the newspapers are depressed, no longer have the idea of poaching people.
Lu Wenxian of Qizhou is also stained, and he will be mentioned when he is sparse, and it is estimated that he will be promoted.
Whether Xu Zixian's official position and title can be promoted is also the top priority of everyone's discussion.
As for the gratitude of the people, it goes without saying.
In the past few days, the incense and candle shops in Fujian have made a small fortune, and the incense and candles in each shop are out of stock, and even the paper money has been sold.
The tombs and temples outside the city are overcrowded.
Chen Yutai has been doing evil in Fuzhou and other places for many years, and he doesn't know how many people's blood has been stained on his hands. That's it, the key is that during the battle of Zhangzhou, Chen Yutai was the vanguard, and Chen Yutai, who was made by Pu Xingfeng, also had to be counted as a share, and this blood debt was big, and many people who burned incense counted this account on Chen Yutai's head, and Chen Yutai was not wronged.
It's just that in Xu Zixian's opinion, this approach is a bit self-deceptive.
Pu Xingfeng is not dead, how can this blood debt not be paid off.
One day, it is necessary to ask Na Pu Xingfeng to kneel outside the city of Fuzhou Mansion and punish him in a canonical manner, so that he can avenge thousands of people, and his own clan is worthy of the people's worship.
