The sun is shining, the sky is clear, the port is bustling, many large ships are moored on the shore, unloading all kinds of materials and personnel, groups of soldiers go ashore to assemble, the wharf is very lively, attracting the crew members of ships from all over the world to look around.

Everyone already knows that Lingbiao changed the government, and Li Fozi (King Wanchun) of Jiaozhou Assassin Shi was sent by him to attack Longbian because he offended the commander of the Zhou army, and he sent troops to attack Longbian, and it was wiped out without much effort, and the fleet that arrived at Longbian Port at this time carried the main force of the Zhou army to land.

With so many soldiers and horses rushing to Jiaozhou, it seems that the rebels on the border of Jiaozhou can't make big waves, but for maritime merchants from all over the world, the most concerned thing is what kind of policy the new government will implement.

According to the "custom", the maximum tax levied by Jiaozhou Longbian Port on foreign sea vessels is "one out of ten", that is, one percent of the goods in a shipload should be paid to the government as a tax. However, Guangzhou Panyu Port has a "two out of ten" from time to time.

Therefore, many maritime merchants choose to berth at Longbian Port, and after selling most of the goods, they go to Panyu Port to berth.

In fact, everyone mainly went to Panyu to buy silk, raw silk, porcelain and other hot-selling goods in the Central Plains, and their own shipload of goods directly in Panyu barter is the most convenient.

If the Zhou government can reduce the taxes and fees in Panyu Port, then everyone is willing to go to Panyu with full loads of goods to do business.

But now there is any news, some people say that Panyu Port is still "two out of ten", and some people even say that Panyu Port is already "three out of ten".

And some Persian maritime merchants got the news that two months ago, the well-known maritime merchant Truss was detained by the Zhou State government in Guangzhou with people and ships and goods.

It is said that it was the goods on the ship that made the officials of Zhou Guo red, so they arrested people on charges without doing anything, and now Truss and his entourage and crew are all unknown in life and death, I am afraid that there will be more than one luck.

All kinds of rumors worried the maritime merchants who arrived at Longbian Port, they were used to dealing with Chen Guo's Guangzhou government, and now the Zhou State government seemed to be a bit domineering, which made everyone in a dilemma.

Especially the maritime merchants of Persia and Tianzhu countries, they traveled thousands of miles to the East, waiting to go to Panyu to buy goods and sell them back to China, so as to earn high profits.

The maritime merchants berthed in Longbian Port to avoid the hurricane, and now that the weather is sunny and the southeast wind is rising, it is a good opportunity to sail to Panyu, but many people are waiting, and at this time, the Zhou army landed in Longbian Port in a big way, which also made them frightened.

What if the commander of the Zhou Army wants to make a fortune and tears his face and sends troops to rob the ship?

There are already sea ships unmoored, ready to leave the dock as soon as there is something wrong, and go to the south of Linyi to avoid risks, they are thinking about berthing at Linyi Port first, and then look at the situation for a while to decide whether to go to Panyu to do business.

The new owner of Longbian Port soon noticed the uneasiness of the maritime merchants, and sent officials to explain the policy of the new government to the shipowners with the help of the general, in short, everything was business as usual, and because of the unstable situation in Jiaozhou, a large number of officers and troops would be stationed in Longbian Port.

However, the new government will never allow officers and soldiers to extort, extort, or rob merchant ships, and there will be military officers leading law enforcement teams to patrol all parts of the wharf, and as long as any officers and soldiers are found to have violated the law, military discipline will be enforced on the spot.

As for the so-called rumors that there were maritime merchants who were detained by people with ships in Panyu, it was because this person was bold and tried to be Chen Jun's internal response, but he was denounced, and he wanted to escape after the incident, so he was detained by the government.

As long as you don't do anything illegal, the government of Panyu will never be intentionally embarrassed, and the tax rate of Panyu Port has been reduced to "one out of ten", and it will never change in the short term, so everyone is welcome to do business in Panyu.

No one will believe this kind of rhetoric, but since the new government has made a promise, the maritime merchants and ship owners are a little relieved, they belong to different countries, but since they dare to do maritime trade, they are more or less gambling, so they are willing to gamble for high profits.

The ship that intended to leave the port stopped, and the crew on board watched from a distance as the Zhou army warship unloaded the personnel and baggage, although curious, no one dared to inquire, but the officials who came to appease the people probably mentioned some inside information, saying that there were still traitors in Jiaozhou, so the officers and soldiers wanted to increase their troops.

In the corner of the wharf, the stubborn Zhou soldiers escorted a group of people to board the boat, this group of people was old and young, and women were mixed in, and the white-haired Li Fozi in the crowd was hobbling, his face was gloomy and his eyes were blank.

When he boarded the ship, he looked back at his homeland, and he knew that he might never come back.

Li Fozi's Wanchun Kingdom was over, he had to open the door and surrender in order to save his life, and the whole family was under house arrest waiting to be released, and he was terrified until now, until the king of Xiyang of Zhou came to Longbian Port, and after seeing him, he made a decision:

He and the rest of the main generals will be escorted to the capital of Zhou, and it is up to the emperor of Zhou to decide whether to live or die, and their families will be sent to live in Shixing County, Dongheng Prefecture, and leave Jiaozhou forever.

The seagulls kept flying overhead, Li Fozi stopped for a long time, and finally sighed and walked into the cabin, his back was gloomy, and the dream he once had disappeared.

The dragon compiled the Hong Kong official office, Xiyang Wang Yuwen Wen was discussing with the generals, and the marching chief Murong Sanzang personally escorted Li Fozi to the port area, and reported the current situation to Yuwenwen by the way.

"Our soldiers, because of the water and soil adaptation, the sick have been more than thirty percent, the dead war horses have been forty percent, and the climate in Jiaozhou is really difficult to adapt."

"It's a scorching summer day now, and the dragon weaving is even hotter than Panyu, and the water here, the soldiers are really not used to drinking, and many people have diarrhea one after another, although it will not kill them, but they are also weak..."

"The mosquitoes in Jiaozhou are so powerful that if you don't pay attention at night, you will be bitten and can't sleep..."

Murong Sanzang was not so much reporting as complaining, and he was complaining worriedly, he had led his troops to fight for many years, but he had never encountered such an embarrassment: there were too many non-combat attrition, and it would be over sooner or later.

When Yu Wenwen heard this, he asked, "Mosquito bites?" Aren't there mosquito nets and wormwood strips? ”

Wang, the climate in Jiaozhou is hot, even at night, everyone tosses and turns and does not sleep well, kicks the mosquito net away without paying attention, and it is inevitable to get up in the middle of the night, this in and out, mosquitoes will come in. ”

"The wormwood strips have been burning, but people can't stand the smell if they burn too much, and the mosquitoes are rampant when they burn less, which is really a dilemma."

"The widow has instructed that there should be no stagnant puddles and ponds in the barracks to prevent mosquitoes from breeding, have you cleaned them up?"

"Back to the king, the lower officials have already sorted out the inside and outside of the military camp, but there are too many mosquitoes..."

Even Murong Sanzang, who had a very rich military career, chattered and complained, and Yuwenwen realized that the problem was a bit serious, and the matter of not adapting to the water and soil could not be solved well, and I was afraid that the non-combat attrition of the Zhou army would lead to a serious decline in combat effectiveness.

Therefore, he has to come to Jiaozhou in person no matter what, experience the feelings of the soldiers, and if the situation is not good, he can make a decision on the spot and respond in time.

When he first set out from Panyu, Yuwenwen had already made careful arrangements, especially mosquito nets, wormwood strips and other mosquito repellent materials were sufficient, and he thought that he was fully prepared, but the result did not seem to have the expected effect.

This is also a helpless thing, the situation of not adapting to the water and soil, even in modern times with high medical and health conditions, this kind of problem has no solution, and can only rely on people to slowly adapt.

Murong Sanzang led the army to be stationed in Longbian, and many of his subordinates had diarrhea symptoms, but it had not yet reached the point of the outbreak of the plague, according to the military doctor and local doctors, he could recover after a period of good conditioning, but during this period, I am afraid that he would not have much strength to fight.

"Chief Murong, after you return to Longbian, let your subordinates first station in the city to recuperate for a period of time, and at the same time step up the expansion of the military camp, before the new barracks are built, most of the reinforcements will be stationed in Longbian Port."

"As for the issue of the use of troops in the near future..."Yu Wenwen said this, turning to a young man present: "Then there is Lao Ning Langjun, and there are several leaders. ”
