Chapter 997: Ups and Downs 7
The icy waves, the biting winds, and the undulating hull of the ship are reminders that this is not the season for large-scale sailing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Sail on the sea, between the cleaving waves, there are hundreds of hulls and sail shadows far and near, all of which are hung with the banner of the wave and thunder of the unified system on behalf of the navy, and the companions around my boat, it seems that there is a kind of cloudy trend.
It's just that compared to the rough sea itself, the large ship with 6,000 materials under me, and even this array of clouds, are insignificant little countercurrents and ripples.
In addition to the land income, Huaizhen actually directly controlled several large fishing grounds along the northern coast, such as the Liaodong half fishing ground around the Bohai Sea, the Haizhou fishing ground near the mouth of the Huai River, the Yellow Sea fishing ground at the southern end of Silla, and so on.
The catch and aquatic products in these places are quite dense and abundant, and under the existing means and technology, they are almost inexhaustible. Moreover, it is close enough to the shore, so in the season when the wind and waves are light, even ordinary fishermen's boats can be harvested;
Not to mention the collective fishing operations carried out by large-scale groups of organized and professionally equipped boats, with more than 10 seagoing vessels as the smallest unit.
Therefore, there are not only seasonal migratory brackish and freshwater fish, but also periodic large and small whale pods that can be hunted and killed, as one of the sources of various proteins and fats for the military and civilians of Huaidi.
In the months when the catch is on the market on a large scale every year, in the morning, small and wild markets in various coastal areas, it is the norm to sell the dried fish that is simply processed and even cheaper than the grain. And among the food that every household has in store in winter, it is natural that more or less dried fish cannot be burned, which has also become a new tradition under Huaizhen.
Therefore, in addition to the commercial trade ship groups, there is actually another potential sea force, that is, the fishing fleet in various places along the coast, and as a consistent tradition shared to a certain extent in the production organization and militarized management of Huaizhen, the personnel working on these ships have become one of the potential alternate sources of the two existing sea surface forces in Huaizhen.
This kind of obviously biased and deformed approach is unlikely to last for a long time, but at present, it is the most in line with the situation in Huaizhen, or the system that I personally need.
Although the size and carrying capacity of the specific ships cannot be compared with the regular ocean-going ships taking the north-south triangle trade route, they are still barely capable of using them for short- and medium-distance shipping voyages along the Bohai Rim coast or south to Yizhou.
Now it's time for the winter shutdown, and even sailors and boatmen are ready to be requisitioned.
The dredging and widening of the river channel in Hebei Province was carried out at a time due to the abundant manpower from the Silla side, and the progress of the work at the same time was much faster than planned.
Although in a short period of time, hundreds of people died of exhaustion and illness like a consumable one, but at least before the end of this winter, it is expected to see the north and south Cao rivers being reconnected.
Although it is not the best time to send troops, perhaps it will be better and more advantageous to wait a little longer to make the situation in Yizhou more erosive before attacking; But compared to the crisis that the Lingwai Guangfu family has to face, I can't wait, and I can't wait any longer.
Since it is intended to attack Yizhou in an all-round way, it is impossible for Hui to bypass a special existence, as the first prince of Yizhou and the head of the local clan, the Yuwen clan, known as the silver clan,
Of course, since encountering the mysterious creatures and attracting many old Yizhou tribes to defect, the news about the Yuwen family has not been interrupted.
As one of the few wealthy families in the local area, the Yuwen clan is also known for its leafy family lineage, and its clansmen are all over the East China Sea; It's just that because of the big family and the big business, it has been scattered for a long time, and it is inevitable that because of the difference between relatives and relatives, there are various benefits and losses and similarities and differences in positions;
As a result, there are also many contradictions and disputes in several large branches, which are then connected to the family; And in this generation, the family lineage has been a little weak because of the infighting of successive generations;
In particular, although the contemporary feudal lords have the heart to cheer up and take power, they have been in intermittent health after ascending to the throne, and they have been unable to maintain the skills and strategies that have achieved initial results for a long time, and they have already been exhausted and cannot afford to fall ill.
And his two daughters are not fuel-efficient lamps, or worry-free masters; When he was not yet sick and could not take care of things, he had already begun to launch a series of open and secret battles and intrigues under the support, promotion and instigation of those powerful branches, in order to compete for this key position that occupies the righteous name of his family and has accumulated resources and contacts over the generations.
Among them, under the illustrious glory and scenery of the wealthy families, the cruelty and fierceness of the flesh and blood relatives are even no less than those between the courts of the past dynasties.
Therefore, long before the mysterious creature met me, the situation of the Yuwen family had already begun to show signs of loss of control and collapse, and this is why as the lord of the domain, under the sorrow and helplessness, he sent out his favorite little daughter in the name of carte blanche to supervise the property of Guangfu, so as to avoid disaster outside the island.
Of course, in a sense, this lord of the Yuwen clan is a good father, but he is not a good head of the family, especially when it comes to children's indecision; Although he loves his daughter to the fullest and does everything he wants, he doesn't have enough ability and wrist to protect her. Therefore, everything he gave to the enigmatic creature became her greatest crisis and misfortune.
According to the mysterious creature, before she was ordered to come out, the family had been "on fire" many times, burning down several buildings, including the owner's favorite flower hall, and some of his brothers and sisters had already died or been disabled by accident and accident, or disappeared, and even the maid next to the mysterious creature committed suicide for some unspeakable reason.
It wasn't until she met me that things changed. Especially after my power and status continued to rise, those black hands that stretched out from Yizhou from time to time gradually changed their course with the bad luck and accidents that could be traced down to the death of the main messenger and their related people, and gradually changed their ways into various deliberate friendships and invitations.
Even the struggle of the Yuwen clan has temporarily stopped because of the deterrence of the powerful foreign aid of the newly rising Huaizhen, and has become a stable and mutually beneficial cooperation object in a sense.
Therefore, in just the past few years, through the name and origin of the fascination creature, I have a special eyeliner and agent within the Yuwen family.
But in any case, if there is an invitation and a letter from the Yue family, the lord of Yuwen Domain, as another layer of protection, then my strategy in Yizhou will be able to go on smoothly with half the effort.
。。。。。。。。。。
In the lower city of Guangfu, a huge gray smoke cloud bloomed in the sky above Liuquan Street and did not disperse for a long time.
When Feng Shisan, who was bleeding from his mouth, nose and ears, was found from the ruins and carried out, although his body was in pain everywhere, his expression of disbelief and palpitations was still frozen on his face.
It's over, everything is over, and the old brothers and confidants who have been with him for many years from birth to death are almost all gone at once. Obviously, at the beginning, everything went quite smoothly, so they entered the Luo mansion without hindrance, and dug three feet into the ground under the guidance of Nei Ying, and finally found the dark passage that had been sealed for a long time.
And then the result of chasing it in, it was a complete nightmare; Those who chased it encountered an endless stream of traps and traps, and had to gather more people to force a way out with their lives.
Then, I don't know when, the people who went in again were like flooded rats, rushing to escape from the road.
The ground began to shake like a dragon had flipped over in the outer realms, and in an instant, the buildings were overturned and collapsed by the tremendous force of the ground's arching, burying all the pirates who were still looting and looting in it.
And with the wave of air like a fountain of the ground cracking, there was a sharp fall of masonry and rubble thrown into the air, like a raindrop, and the heads of the remaining people in the open space were suddenly mourned;
Although Feng Shisan stood far away because of the command and planning in the rear, and when he saw that things were not good, he turned around and ran desperately; But he was still unspared by the wave of smoke and dust rolling behind him, and he rolled to the ground before he overturned, and he rolled several times before he knocked out on the stones.
How much gunpowder did those people plant in it? So much so that when he was shaken awake by the seekers under the rubble and carried on a stretcher, he saw that he had almost turned into rubble and had changed beyond recognition.
In the original location of the main building of Luofu, even the terrain of the ground has been completely changed, and the surrounding Chibo rockery forest corridor seems to be left with mud and dust and ravine-like cracks in the blink of an eye, and there is no way to obtain anything of value in it.
Then, he also met the dejected Chen Zikun; Not surprisingly, his pursuit along the way did not achieve the desired results; As a result of the relentless pursuit, in addition to killing some wounded and straddled old men and cripples, even the leading fierce bird Bo Fu could not be caught; I saw that he took the rest of the people, and jumped into the small river one after another, and since then he has been blown away with the wind and rain with the flow of water.
He naturally thought of using a boat to catch it, but it was a pity that in this huge Guangfu, Chen Zikun could only support his own subordinates, and by the time he explained that he was very powerful and asked for ships from elsewhere again, those people would have already drifted away and disappeared.
But this also indirectly proves one thing, the key person is not among the people who break through. Or there is another possibility that they are no longer in the Luofu mansion.
On the contrary, he used this big mansion as a bait, giving them a lesson and loss that was unforgettable.
"It's already gone."
At the same time, among the shogunate residences, which had already taken up most of the city, Liu Yu, who had just received the news, was also sighing.
"But it doesn't matter, at least part of the purpose has been achieved."
"As long as people are still in the city, there will still be a chance to search for them."
Then he turned to one of his subordinates
"I have a secret piece of news here, and I have to let you out."
"It's more effective than taking hostages." (To be continued.) )
