On the first day of sailing, the fleet had not yet left the mouth of the Pearl River, and after crossing the Lingding Ocean, it rested on the southwest bank of the Jiuxing Ocean...... This is where the future Zhuhai Port is located, and it is only a few steps away from Macau. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In this life, the Franc machine man did not entrench in the Macau generation, because Shen Xi defeated the Franc machine man in the battle of Quanzhou Thornton Port, and the Franc machine man set up the base camp in Luzon, and at the same time looked for a foothold on the island of Taiwan in Dongfan, which was later generations, and did not dare to set up a stronghold along the coast of Daming.

However, due to the ban on the sea in the Ming Dynasty, the islands and land along the coast of Jiuxingyang are very barren, even if the ships have excellent natural bays to dock, the surrounding areas are all barren mountains and mountains.

There is no road along the coast, Shen Xi originally planned to send the girl back to the city of Guangzhou, but now it seems that there is only one way to send a boat, and then asked the guide, only to know that one day the voyage will arrive in Guanghaiwei, the fleet will be replenished in Guanghaiwei, and some seriously seasick injuries can be sent ashore with the girl, and return to Guangzhou by land.

During the Xiaoice River period, the temperature in the late autumn was only fifteen or sixteen degrees during the day, and the temperature was even lower at night.

"It would be a pleasure if three or five sheep could be roasted over a campfire and eaten among the brethren."

Shen Xi sat behind a large reef sheltered from the wind, recalling the past in Yulinwei, although he almost lost his life outside Yulin City and in the two battles of Yuxi River after that, but the scene of lighting a fire to roast a leg of mutton and drink spirits to celebrate his achievements in a bitter cold place is something he will never forget.

Ma Jiu came to sit down opposite Shen Xi, holding a bowl of hot soup boiled together with sea fish and kelp in his hand, and ate it with bread without speaking. Jing Yue handed a freshly grilled two-pound tuna to Shen Xi, and replied: "If you want to eat roast mutton, ask the brothers to go out and take a turn, and keep it for an hour!" ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, Jing Yue and these people are all local soldiers in Guangzhou Prefecture, they will go to the beach every year to inspect, they are very familiar with the surrounding terrain, let them go out for an hour, they must be robbing the cattle and sheep raised by the people, he is not willing to do this kind of thing to disturb the people, and waved his hand at the moment:

"The official just said casually, on the day of the victorious return, he will buy lamb from the people, and then roast the mutton on the bonfire, and rest when he is drunk!"

Jing Yue said with a smile: "My lord, I am hungry for my humble position, this goes to Leizhou Mansion, it will take almost ten days and a half months unilaterally, if you add the time to exterminate the bandits, I don't know if I can rush back before the end of the year!" ”

Jing Yue just complained casually and left, continuing to chat with those big-headed soldiers.

Shen Xi couldn't fit in, because these people were talking about the shortcomings of the parents, or the wind and snow, but their wind and snow and moon seemed simple and rough, nothing more than which private prostitute in the city had a big butt, or whose widow had a spring in her eyebrows, and every time she said it, it could cause a group of people to laugh.

These ruffians are proud of the number of broken shoes they wear, but they look closely at their mother-in-law, but occasionally there will be compliments such as "sister-in-law's big ass...... In the eyes of those soldiers, they don't mind too much about being told about their mother-in-law, but they can see and think about it or not, and if something really happens, they will draw their swords at any time.

Ma Jiu was silent, drank hot soup, and beckoned people to go back to the ship for vigil, he was not very worried about the Franc cannon on the ship.

Shen Xi chose to stay on the shore, chose a tent, and was ready to go to bed when he was full of food and drink, he didn't want to stay on the sea boat and suffer alive.

The girl was a little helpless, so she sat outside the tent chosen by Shen Xi for a while, because the weather was a little cold, and finally she sneaked into Shen Xi's tent. Shen Xi didn't reprimand him when he saw it, but he didn't go back to the tent after that, anyway, there were several big tents around, and no one dared to grab a place to sleep with him.

In the middle of the night, there was some noise outside, Shen Xi woke up from his sleep, he was worried that the thieves would attack the camp, so he hurriedly dressed up and came out, and after asking, he learned that he had caught a few people who came out to smuggle goods and run the boat, and they were surrounded by officers and soldiers at this time, and several people were desperately kowtowing and begging for mercy.

Jing Yue came over and said, "Lord Shen, how about catching a few people who are letting off the wind for the bandits, and beheading them?" ”

Strictly speaking, it is not smuggling, but it is only by waterway that the shipping of the Ming Dynasty is not something that ordinary people can touch, and if they are caught, they will either be beaten or exiled, of course, they may be killed directly by officers and soldiers for military merit.

Shen Xi looked at Jing Yue: "On weekdays, that's how you report your military exploits?" ”

Jing Yue said disappreciably: "Who told these rabbit cubs to be unlucky to run into you, an adult?" This time, if we return empty-handed, it is not good to explain to the above, it just so happens that these people are not good citizens, instead of taking them back and handing them over to the government to distribute and replenish the army, it is better to cut off their heads directly, not only to give them a break, but also to fulfill the brothers. What do you say, sir? ”

Shen Xi categorically would not accept this kind of thing, and he waved his hand: "Since the crime is not death, let him wear the crime and make meritorious service, and become a miscellaneous servant with the army!" If he can atone for his sins, he will be released when he returns to Guangzhou. ”

Jing Yue reminded: "My lord, you can do whatever you say, but I still want to remind you that these rabbit cubs may really be spies of the bandits, and they specialize in running boats to transport wine and cloth for those bandits on weekdays." ”

Four years ago, when Shen Xi fought with Song Xi'er's forces in Fuzhou Mansion, he knew that not all the materials of the pirates could be obtained by robbery, and it was relatively easy for them to grab food and production tools, and they could smelt and forge weapons by bringing back hoes and iron plows, but cloth, wine and some luxury goods, pirates and pirates could not produce them on their own, and it was difficult to replenish the number of people, so they needed to send people to the coastal areas to exchange and buy and sell goods.

Shen Xi nodded: "Just take precautions." ”

Shen Xi really hopes that it is the pirates or the pirates who are captured back, so he can use these people to post false news to the pirates or pirates, or through torture and tracking, he can know the hiding place of the pirates and the pirates.

Pirates and pirates generally chose those islands that were relatively far from the shore to set up camps, and would not build camps near the Daming coast, so that even if there were officers and soldiers or government fleets passing by on land, or merchant ships docking, they would not notice anything unusual on the island.

Bandits generally do not commit crimes around their strongholds, mainly because they are afraid that some fish will escape and expose the location of their den of thieves. When pirates and pirates rob, they usually sail to the vicinity of the route far from the stronghold, and after the ship is robbed, they transport the people and goods back to the thieves' den, and the task is completed.

In the coastal land, this kind of cheap trade is very easy to do, wait for a few days at sea, there will always be a ship coming, and the government has very little protection for merchant ships, even if they are met by government ships, they are also sailing ships, and pirate ships are relatively small, and they run faster under the impetus of the sails.

If a merchant ship encounters a pirate ship, it's up to whoever runs faster.

……

……

The next day, the fleet continued to set off, passing through the cross gate to the white ocean, and settled on the west bank of the tiger gate in the evening.

On the second day of the boat, Shen Xi was a little unbearable, he continued to drift on the sea, and it was a wooden boat with a lighter hull, the sea wind was very strong that day, and the boat was very bumpy, and it was originally said that he would settle down in Guanghaiwei, and finally Shen Xi ordered to stay on the shore in advance, and then cross the tiger gate in the coming day.

Tiger view gate is also the later tiger leaping gate, the north of the tiger view gate is one of the estuaries of the Pearl River, stands to witness the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty cliff mountain, the south is a series of small islands, the Ming Dynasty called the Lujiao Gao, that is, the Gaolan Islands of later generations.

After going ashore, Shen Xi felt uncomfortable in his stomach, drank some hot soup boiled with abalone, ate some hot rice balls made on the boat, and went into the tent early to rest.

The panicked girl got into Shen Xi's tent after he fell asleep and squeezed into his arms.

The girl understands in her heart that only by following Shen Xi, a "big man", will she have a good life, not that she has any utilitarian intentions, but that people in this era have a strong sense of survival, and they just want to eat enough to eat and not die of cold and starvation.

As for the famous festival, only people who have no worries about food and clothing will think about it, and they may not even see the rising sun in the coming day, and it will not help to be so reserved.

After Shen Xi was woken up, he said angrily: "There is an empty tent next door, I specially asked someone to lay it for you, go over there to sleep, don't disturb me!" ”

The girl was a little scared, and went to the tent next door, and when it was midnight, she came back again, this time Shen Xi didn't even have the strength to push her away, and the two of them hugged each other and slept all night.

A twelve-year-old girl doesn't know much about men and women, she only knows that sleeping together in such a hug will be very warm and comfortable, and more importantly, there is a sense of security.

The next morning, Ma Jiu came to the tent and asked Shen Xi to get up, and saw a handsome little guard come out of Shen Xi's tent with a strange look on his face.

Shen Xi stood by the tent and sorted out his clothes, and scolded angrily: "Look at what, don't think nonsense!" ”

"Yes, sir."

Ma Jiu responded, but his gaze at Shen Xi was a little more jealous, obviously he regarded the girl as a teenager and thought that Shen Xi had a habit of dragon yang.

When they got on the boat, the girl stayed in the same cabin with Shen Xi, and then Shen Xi asked, "I didn't ask you before, what is your name?" ”

The girl looked at Shen Xi a little innocently, Shen Xi pursed her lips, and said in her heart Could it be to remind me, you have no conscience, you slept together last night, and you only remember to ask my name today?

The girl replied timidly after a while: "I...... I don't have a name, my mother calls me Liuya. ”

Shen Xi nodded, many girls don't have names, from the eldest girl to the sixth girl, and she also has a younger sister, so this old lady is quite capable of giving birth. Why did my mother only give birth to three, and since then there has been no news of her belly? Could it be that my father doesn't work hard and can't give birth to more brothers and sisters for me?

Shen Xi was wandering outside the world, and Liuya mustered up the courage to come to Shen Xi's side, knelt down and hugged his legs, unwilling to let go.

Shen Xi said angrily: "It's useless for you to hold it, after passing the Tiger View Gate, bypassing Dajin Island, you will rush to Guanghaiwei this afternoon." When you get on the shore, I'll send someone to take you back to Guangzhou. ”

Liuya didn't speak, just hugged it, Shen Xi sat in front of the desk, and the left and right would not affect his writing, so it was up to her.

After two days of sailing, Shen Xi was not in a good state, wrote for two hours, felt sleepy, leaned over and put aside the six girls who had fallen asleep, came to the bed and lay down, and fell asleep after a while. In a daze, he felt something arch in his arms.

In the afternoon, when the sun came out and the sea was calmer, Shen Xi went out of the room and went down the stairs to the deck of the amidship to bask in the sun, just at this time Ma Jiu came over in a small boat and was pulled onto the deck.

Ma Jiu said: "My lord, I heard that there is a group of bandits on the Black Pig Mountain, who have been entrenched for more than a year, do you want to attack them?" ”

Shen Xi took out the navigation chart and compared it.

Wuzhu Mountain is not a mountain, but an island, which is the later Wuzhuzhou Island, which is an inconspicuous island under Shangchuan Mountain, that is, Shangchuan Island in later generations.

In these years, due to the ban on the sea, even Shangchuan Island is only docked by merchant ships, not to mention a small island like Wuzhu Mountain, where there is actually a group of bandits entrenched, and it is expected that the number of people will not be too large.

If you want to kill Wuzhu Mountain, you can't go to Guanghaiwei to land and rest on the same day.

After thinking about it, Shen Xi ordered: "Rest in Shangchuan Mountain first, and attack Wuzhu Mountain early tomorrow morning!" (To be continued.) )
