"Tamnahu!" On the green dragon in advance, Zhang Baogao saw that there was a black shadow flickering in the grass on the shore, and then there were spears and arrows flying overhead, and he couldn't help shouting angrily, half-knelt down, supported the god thunderbolt on his knee with his elbow, and pinched the snake's head.

The mouth of the gun vibrated and sent out bursts of fireworks, screams in the grass, and a short "Tamluohu" covered his stomach, as if bowing to Zhang Baogao, and loaded his head into the water, and the body quickly floated, and was knocked away by the hull of the green dragon and floated away.

Tamnahu is named after living on Tamnado, which is now Jeju Island.

They were not Silla people, nor Japanese, but islanders with independent customs and ethnic groups, and in fact, Tamna was still an independent kingdom during the Tang Dynasty, and it had contacts with Silla and Japan - the reason why it was called "Tamnahu" was because their customs were closer to Xianbei and Wuhuan, they would herd horses on the island, but they would also make ships to sail and trade, and they were short in stature, wearing fur on the upper body, and completely naked on the lower body.

The pirates of Silla often colluded with Tamnahu and wreaked havoc in this sea area, plundering and selling the people of Silla to the Tang soil as slaves.

Due to the large size of Zhang Xi's fleet and the use of Sinan needle, it was possible to form ships (the Japanese ships were separated from each other as they walked), and the pirates did not dare to make a mistake.

But now, Zhang Xi's fleet took the initiative to find trouble with the pirates.

The white water langs on the green dragon skillfully manipulated the fire guns, and constantly shot thunderbolts, killing the ambushed Tamnahu one by one, and the body of Tamnahu was soon filled with the surface of the pool, and the rest of the Hu people began to run towards the cave deep in the island like a flock of frightened birds.

It's like a hunt.

Then Zhang Baogao jumped down, stood on the shore, replaced the god thunderbolt, pulled out the iron sword he was wearing, and the rest of Bai Shuilang also followed him closely, next to each other, the first one raised the brute card and boring palladium, and the second one held the sword tightly, and landed on the land on the island in a group, and then began to set fire to the cave where Tamnahu was entrenched.

When Zhang Xi commanded the other ships to dock, Monk Kukai saw that the entire Wandao was burning.

Some white water lang on the beach to expose the goods wet by the water;

Some walked around with the severed head of Tamnahu.

Finally, in the setting sun, Zhang Baogao built a tower on the high ground in the center of the island, and then placed a copy of the Lotus Sutra respectfully, kowtowed to it, and then he stood up, turned around, and confidently said to Zhang Xi, Monk Kukai and Yang Xi who had arrived:

"There are more than 10 large and small islands near Wandao, today I Zhang Baogao will take this place as a starting point, clear out the pirates and Tamluohu, rescue the people on the islands, and hope to get the grace of the Duke of Weiguo, after that, the sea ships from Yangzhou will dock in Wandao to replenish, within two years, I Zhang Baogao can build a city and town here."

"Are you going to part with us?" Kukai asked.

Zhang Baogao nodded, and then laughed heartily: "At the moment of Nambata, I confided in my ambition to start from this Wando and conquer the seas on all sides!" ”

"What do you say about Silla?" Zhang Xi asked.

Zhang Baogao was full of confidence, "I will tell the official guard that the Tang ships travel to and from Silla and Japan, and they need a place to dry goods and replenish supplies, so they lease Wandao." ”

"Well, when you become stronger, and you have the Duke of Weiguo as your backup, even if you directly negotiate with the king of Silla, it will not be a problem." Zhang Xi said.

It seems that this time, Zhang Baogao is determined not to leave Wando.

Two hundred Bai Shuilang from Fujian and eastern Zhejiang volunteered to fight alongside him, and Zhang Xi also left three Haihu boats and fifty divine thunderbolts for him, and promised to stay for a month, and let one ship carry gunpowder, rice, and cloth.

When the rest of the ships left Wando, Kukai saw that Jang Bo-gao was setting fire to the wild grass on the island and digging trenches and wells, and the rest of the ships were cutting timber as if they were building a barracks, and they really wanted to take root on the island.

Lonely, tired, and trying to survive in the cracks of various powers, and dealing with the endless attacks of pirates and tam rakhu, "Will he feel lonely?" Kukai muttered.

"For him, as long as there is a sea and a boat, he will never be alone." Zhang Xi crossed his waist and replied to Kuhai.

The fleet returned to Yangzhou, and soon the spring blossomed and the new year arrived.

Wanli Bridge in Shudu, Wei Gao rode a black Nanzhao horse, and in the cheers of the crowd, together with the singing and dancing team of "Nanzhao Fengshengle" (originally called Fengtianle, but Wei Gao said that this name violated taboos and changed to Fengshengle), and two thousand elite soldiers of the Fengyi Army, marched towards the peak of Lutoushu.

General Zhang Fen led a team of soldiers and horses and joined Wei Gao halfway.

"Zhang Fen, this time you go to Chang'an City, do you think you can see the peace of the world?"

"The last general followed Wei Ling, and also followed Gao Weigong, knowing that as long as Wei Ling and Wei Gong are there, Zhang Fen will eventually see the world restore peace!"

"Well said, the way of this trip is to seek an eternal peace for the world." Wei Gao's interest was very high.

And in Lingnan, the Ling Canal project has been completed, not only the water flow is restored, dredging Guishui and Xiangshui, and the high weirs on both sides of the river are all made of fish scale-like stones, Du You deliberately took four large boats decorated with colorful silks, the boats are full of heavy makeup prostitutes of Yingge and Yan Dan, Du You himself sat in the bow of the first ship, living in it, both sides of the strait are cheering people of all ethnic groups, and the soldiers of the digging army, "each person is half a horse, and those who see it have a share." ”

Outside the city of Yangzhou, Gao Yue led five hundred hits the life of Lang, riding the white snow, passing through the newly planted mulberry field, when it was still the first month, the silkworm was far from the time of bathing, but the weavers of Yangzhou had been in the mulberry field and the silkworm room between three or three twos, began to transport new mud, painted the silkworm room, be sure to do the wind and dust, that is, no flies on the top and no rats under the mouse; There are also weavers mending silkworm foil and silkworm nets, and in the distance on the embankment road, there are men carrying poplar trees one after another, preparing to make more mulberry machines (stools for mulberry picking), silkworm mallets and silkworm rafters, and there is a busy and vibrant atmosphere everywhere.

"Now the New Year is lively, and when the silkworms come out like ants, then every household will have to close their doors, stay in the silkworm room, and concentrate on raising silkworms, and the whole Sangjinfang is afraid that it will be a quiet scene again." After Gao Yue, Han Yu, a member of the Huaihai Xingzhongshu Provincial Ya Division, said with a horsewhip.

"Han Ming Mansion, Han Ming Mansion!" At this moment, on the thatched roof of a silkworm room, several people were working there, and one of them had sharp eyes, and when he saw Han Yu on horseback, he shouted.

Isn't it Wang Chengfu?

"Husband." Han Yu bowed his hand on the horse and saluted slightly.

"Where are you going?" Wang Chengfu asked.

"Go to Jingshi Chang'an, it's time for us laborers to give birth to others." Han Yu replied loudly, then pointed to his heart, and spurred the horse - because Wei Guogong, who was riding a white horse, walked quite fast!
