Chapter 64: The Boat

The place where the pirates appeared was not far away, and when Xu Qing arrived quickly, the pirates were still looking at the sea, and the cattle and grazing were buried in the hiding places on the shore. Xu Qing also secretly crouched in a hidden place, and sure enough, the big boat was missing, only the small boat. Xu Qing wondered in his heart, could it be that the storm last night damaged their boat? At the same time, Xu Qing was also glad in his heart, if there was no wind and rain last night, if the pirates sneaked ashore, they would really have to suffer a small loss.

Chu Jiang crouched to the side and pointed out the boat to Xu Qing one by one, this is the first to board the boat, that is the Meng Chong boat, this is the red horse...... Be at home in.

Xu Qing asked, "Where did these small boats come from, and where did the previous big boats go?" ”

Chu Jiang thought for a moment and said: "There was a strong wind and rain last night, I'm afraid that those two big ships were damaged, and this small boat should be tied to the big boat." ”

"Attached to the boat?"

"Large boats are often tied to small boats at the bottom of the boat, which can not only increase the draft, but also play a role in emergencies."

Xu Qing still had questions: "Oh? But the big ship can't withstand the wind and rain, but the small boat can? ”

Chu Jiang also patiently explained: "The boat is flexible, but it can come and go freely in the waves, as long as it hides in a small port, it will be safe." ”

Xu Qing nodded, looking at the boat that was still not moving on the sea. At this moment, a crisp bell sounded, followed by more than a dozen "bleating" cries.

A flock of sheep, "unintentionally" walked over from the sand of the coast, standing on the side of the saline ground to lick the salt. Xu Qing looked at Chu Jiang and saw him smile. This is the hunter releasing the bait......

Sure enough, the ship on the sea moved!

The narrow and long Meng Chong rushed first, like a dragon boat, except that when it approached the shore, it was slower, almost like an arrow.

The shepherd was "panicked" when he saw the vicious pirates raising their axes to slash and kill, but the shepherd was "reluctant" to dozens of sheep, and walked very slowly with the sheep, and "panicked" to a seaside jungle, almost like entering a "dead end".

Meng Chong's boat went ashore as soon as possible, and the rest of the pirates were a little slower, seven or eight hundred people, with messy heads, but most of them wore uniform outer armor and almost the same short-handled axe. There were also dozens of richly dressed men, who rode in a canopy boat, and landed last, near the shore, but did not come ashore.

In the eyes of the pirates, the old herd who drove the sheep was almost like a turtle, but with such a turtle speed, he forcibly brought them into it for more than a mile. Every time I want to catch up, the old man is "refreshed" and runs away in a hurry.

Again, in front of the old man, he encountered a small forest, and the pirates shouted loudly, ran in three steps and two steps, and chased the shepherd in front of him.

Just as he was about to kill and take the sheep, he saw the shepherd draw out two handfuls*, one arrow in one hand, and swished twice, and the two pirates suddenly lost their lives. Look at the shepherd again, he has already lifted a horizontal knife, and he is still a little reluctant to let the sheep and the waist and old legs rot, shrink and jump, like a forest.

When the shepherd escaped into the mountains and forests, a thousand feathered arrows flew like a torrential rain. Only then did the pirates see their surroundings clearly and were ambushed!

By the time they reacted, the rain of arrows had already passed three rounds! And their reaction was also applauded, and their reaction was to turn around and run.

The person who applauded the case was naturally Xu Qing......

At first, Xu Qing was worried that the wave of pirates on the sea would be wiped out, and the pirates on the shore would escape and cause many problems, but when he looked at Chu Jiang, Chu Jiang seemed to know his thoughts, and said: "Rest assured, everything is under control......

The pirates on the shore fled, and Chu Jiang did not chase them, so he asked the soldiers to follow up not far away, shooting arrows while solving the kind of pirates who had half a breath left on the road.

The pirates return to the seashore, only to find that their "king" has fled in a canopy boat. Why did you run away? Because Chu Jiang has already asked someone to seize the boat, he is desperately chasing it!

The bandits on the shore are captured! The pirates who fled from the sea, exhausted, were eventually captured.

In this battle, seven hundred heads were taken and one hundred prisoners were taken. After checking them one by one, I found out which full boss, the king of a small country who fled, or for Xu Qi, the one who usurped the throne and seized power.

It's a pity that the heavens are not beautiful, and the two big ships are buried in the belly of the fish with money.

Regardless of whether the "king" or other minions, Xu Qing treated them the same - punishment for hard labor. Xu Qing didn't think about handing over to the imperial court to earn military merits, but he was also afraid that Li Yuan would give too much attention to the Bohai Kingdom and affect Xu Qi's development there. After all, a chaotic neighbor is always in the interests of its own country.

This is the end of the pirate business.

After two pirate attacks, Xu Qing simply ordered Chujiang Qitai to be stationed in Huanghua, Chujiang trained the navy, and Qitai was in charge of coastal defense.

A few days later, a Tatar man from Liaodong came, the same person who sent a letter to Xu Qing last time. Xu Qing thought about it, and beheaded the so-called king, nitrated, and sent it to Liaodong.

When Xu Qing returned home, he thought of Xun Xiaoer, and the question came back to his mind, how did he come to Cangzhou? No one has sold it yet, Luonan, Lu County, what's going on?

Xun Xue'er had already asked clearly.

It turned out that last year, there was a small locust plague around Luonan.

This time the locust plague was not serious, and the scope of the impact was small, and Luo Nan had almost no losses, so the people from Luo Nan did not mention it.

But Lu County is different, the locust plague is more serious, when the rice and wheat are still hidden, the locusts all over the sky are like lawn mowers, eating up all the grain in the fields.

If the grain is planted in vain, there will be no hope in a year, or even in a lifetime. To use an analogy, starting in September, he finds a seed and puts it in the soil, and then he keeps watering and tending to the seed until he finds food and is not allowed to eat. Someone asked, "Don't you starve to death?" Not to mention a few months, I can't stand it for a few days. Yes, the survival of the ancients was even more difficult than this.

Fortunately, this time the locust plague was not excessive. After the locust plague, the peasants saved the acres of land, and also recovered one or two percent of the grain, and then did odd jobs, plus the landlords, rich peasants, and the government to help, but it could also survive the past year.

Xunjiazhuang is close to Luonan, and the locust plague is even shallower, so why did Xun Xiaoer be forced to fall here?

Because Xun Xiaoer is his mother, the second is married.

As the saying goes, "marry a daughter-in-law in a famine year, give birth to a baby in a good year", and in ancient times, a famine year was an excellent opportunity for many peasant bachelors. The wife who has been saving before the famine year is not enough, but when it comes to the famine year, it will be more than enough. Originally, it was a dowry of ten stone and new rice, but now it only costs two stone...... Xun Xiaoer's mother married under the help of several uncles.

It is also a sigh to say, Xun Xiaoer's uncles ate behind closed doors at Xu Qing's house, and after returning home, they didn't mention that Xun Xue'er married a good family, and only said, "That slut became a concubine, and the short-lived ghost of your family went to his house to work for a short time." Xun Xiaoer's mother also believed it, but she didn't know that Uncle Xun was actually lucky.

Three or four months after the locust plague, when the green and yellow were not accepted, Xun Xiaoer's mother married for the second time. The man who married for the second time, but he didn't like Xun Xiaoer, it was not his flesh and blood after all, so naturally he was unhappy how he looked at it. This time, Xun Xiaoer is not only difficult to herd cattle, but also has to go up the mountain to chop firewood, go down to the field to support the ridges, and taste the dirty work and tired work. It's nothing, other people's children are the same, but Xun Xiaoer is used to a leisurely life, and he can't bear this hardship.

One day, a rock sugar gourd reached out to him, and then he was trafficked. After traveling north and south, he arrived in Cangzhou, and was bought by Wang Ke, and then came to Xu Qing, which is really a coincidence.

After Xu Qing listened to Xun Xiaoer's misfortunes, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then sighed for a long time. However, fortunately, nothing happened in Hongshan Township, and nothing happened in Xuzhuang, which made Xu Qing's hanging heart relax.

The days passed, Xun Xiaoer returned to Bailu Library, Chu Jiang was training the navy, Xu Qing was preparing for the wedding, and during this period, Xu Qing found someone to cook for the twenty-eight state schools, which can be regarded as a big deal.

Tang, in the seventh year of Wude, the governor of Ulzhou, Shangzhuguo, and Wang Gao Kaidao of Beiping County rebelled, but was killed by his own subordinates. Speaking of Gao Kaidao, it is also related to Cangzhou. Gao Kaidao himself is a native of Yanshan, Cangzhou, and his family has been boiling salt for generations. When he was a teenager, he was agile and brave, and he could catch up with a galloping horse. At the beginning of the army, it relied on more than 100 people to annex military horses, and gradually became bigger. Later, he surrendered to Tang and was named the king of Beiping County.

The "Old Tang Book" written by Liu Yun and others compared him with Liu Heimin: "Heimin, open the way, brave and unplanned, take care of his teacher, only a madman, all killed by his subordinates, and the way to control the crowd is absurd." ”

After a while, Xu Qing's child will be 100 days old, take out the holy decree and read it, and tell others about the emperor's "grace".

After the 100-day banquet, the summer grain gradually matured, and when the harvest and seeds were rushed, the state school took a long vacation and asked the students to go home to help the farmers.

At the time of the harvest, Xu Qing's wedding was held, and Xiaoyue and Huang Shimei achieved positive results. The marriage between the Huang family and Xu Qing was in the limelight for a while. It's just that the grandeur of the wedding is slightly lower than Xun Xue'er.

Once marrying two, others are envious, but Xu Qing made a difficulty. Who should I share this wedding night with? What about sleep? Sleeping with Xiaoyue, it seems that he despises Huang Shimei, and sleeping with Huang Shimei, it seems that Xu Qingxi is tired of the old again. If you sleep with Xun Xue'er, you will offend two, Xu Qing is really embarrassed......

There are too many wives, and it's even difficult...... Big deal, come a big deal. Sleep.

At the wedding, Xu Qing was toasted and half drunk and half awake. When he was in the cave room, he then covered up drunkenly, picked up Xiao Yue, and sent him to Huang Shimei's room. went to Xun Xue'er's room to make trouble, picked her up and sent her to Huang Shimei's room.

They all thought that Xu Qing was drunk and began to be domineering, although he was ashamed, he could only obey.

Xun Xue'er has not been moisturized for a long time, the king has returned, Xiaoyue is now famous, experienced, and full of energy, only Huang Shimei is a newcomer.

This night, Xu Qing didn't move, and let Xun Xueer and Xiaoyue take Huang Shimei's "newcomer" to serve, up and down, back and forth, in and out, squeezing Xu Qing's storage and bombs out of everything.

Xu Qing was so dedicated that he vividly explained to Huang Shimei a physiological knowledge of "why it got on the face".

The next day, all the women said that Xu Qing was good or bad, and Xu Qing hugged his waist and protected his kidneys:

"I was drunk last night, drunk......
