Annan is adjacent to Daming, and Qiongzhou Island forms a natural big bay, a large area of land in the north of Annam, and Qiongzhou's Xizhou across the sea.

Fan Jinyan personally commanded 50 warships and 3,000 army soldiers, and went all the way north to the port city of Nghe An, in the north-central part of Annam.

The county town of Nghe An is not big, mainly wooden buildings, and even the city wall is made of wood, and the so-called port is more like a water village.

There were no sailors in Annam, just a few small government boats in each port city, and their role was more to collect taxes from the common people who were raining heavily at sea.

As usual, as soon as the morning dawns, fishermen from nearby fishing villages go out to sea together to continue their day's work.

After the fishermen left the port, they slept lazily, and the tax collectors who had finished breakfast also began a day of troublemaking, driving sand boats much larger than the fishermen, from time to time making trouble at various fishing spots, and when they saw something good from the fishermen, they would unceremoniously snatch it, and if there was the slightest resistance, they would unceremoniously whip it.

Fishermen have become accustomed to being bullied, and as long as they catch it, the precious good fish will be consciously put in the fishing net on the side for the tax collectors to take. But this still won't let the tax collectors let them go, they still have to be checked, and their private possession will be whipped.

Often, at the end of the day, the tax collector's boat would be filled with all kinds of delicious fish to sell to the big families in the city or to the surrounding powerful families.

On the contrary, fishermen who work hard all day can only harvest a small amount of ordinary small fish, and they have to pay a fishing tax when they go ashore, and if they sell it at the market, they also have to pay an entry tax. In many cases, the fish caught in a day are not enough to pay taxes, so fishermen are generally reluctant to go into the city to buy them, so that people in the city are close to the sea, but often do not eat fish. Of course, as long as you have money, you can also buy big fish from the tax collectors, but it is much more expensive.

At this time, a tax collector was whipping several fishermen who had not handed over a large fat fish in a fishing village, and suddenly noticed a black spot in the distance.

He thought he had seen it wrong, so he rubbed his eyes, and when he looked closely, he found that the black spots were getting bigger and bigger, not a mirage.

Immediately afterwards, more and more people saw it, and they all stopped their movements, staring blankly at the black dots that were getting closer and closer.

Due to the poverty of northern Annam, no merchant ships ever came here, and Annam himself did not have a sailor. Therefore, no one here has ever seen such a large fleet.

That's right, people who live next to the sea know that the land does not move, and even if they haven't seen it, they have heard that there are countless warships and merchant ships in the outside world.

Big ship for sure.

I don't know who screamed, and suddenly the whole sea exploded even more, and the fishermen frantically drove the boats to the shore.

Because of the relationship between the Mo clan and the Ruan clan, the two fought all the year round, and the people thought it was a battleship invited by the Ruan clan, so they didn't run away, but waited for death!

The tax collectors were no better, relying on their big boats, they didn't know how many fishing boats they had overturned, and as soon as they got ashore, they ran non-stop to Taishoufu

"Master Hou, there is Yi'an City in front, do you want to attack directly or send an envoy first?" Yang Dahai, who came together, asked Fan Jinyan, who was eating grilled fish on the boat and humming a small tune.

Fan Jinyan didn't seem to be in a hurry, but picked up a piece of brown, oily, and fragrant small yellow croaker from the grill and put it on a plate, and handed it to Yang Dahai, who was talking, "Try what I made with my own hands, how about it taste?" ”

Yang Dahai was not polite, took the plate, grabbed it with his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, didn't even spit out the fish bones, swallowed them into his stomach together, and said: "The outside is scorched and the inside is tender, and it is very fragrant, and the craftsmanship of Master Hou is getting better and better." ”

Fan Jinyan nodded, picked up a piece and said, "Then it means that it is baked, and it is finally ready to eat, hahaha"

It's been a long time, this guy's intentions are bad!

Regarding Fan Jinyan's sudden childlike movements, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and simply sat opposite and ate it.

At this time, Wang Dashan, a pro-soldier who had been standing with them and kept swallowing saliva, finally couldn't resist the temptation of deliciousness, snatched a hot fish from the grill and stuffed it into his mouth, but stomped his feet hotly.

Fan Jinyan picked up the chopsticks in his hand and knocked on his head, "Your kid is getting bigger and smaller." ”

Although he said that he was teaching him a lesson, Fan Jinyan was not angry, and after speaking, he pointed to the stool next to him, motioned for him to sit down, and personally put the fish on his plate.

In this way, the three of them talked and laughed, not at all like they were going to fight, but came on vacation.

After waiting until they got closer to Nghe Ann City and could clearly see the figures running back and forth on the pier, the three of them withdrew from the stove and stood on the bow of the boat to see the small wooden seaside city opposite.

"Master Hou" Yang Dahai stood next to Fan Jinyan and called out.

Fan Jinyan slowly pulled out the long knife at his waist and waved it forward, "The whole army is attacking, I want to have lunch in the city." ”

The soldiers on the ship were suddenly covered with black lines, didn't you just eat grilled fish? Hungry again?

Are you a pig?

We've been hungry for a long time, so I should eat first

However, no one dared to discount his order, and all the soldiers responded with a bang, "Yes"

The port of Nghe An is too small and the water is shallow, not to mention that there are no more than fifty warships, and the warships have to struggle to even enter the port.

Fan Jinyan didn't know what the defense of Ngee An City was, so he didn't dare to take it lightly.

Ordered all warships to face Nghe An City horizontally, and to open fire immediately if there was any abnormal movement.

Immediately afterwards, Fan Jinyan personally landed with 3,000 army soldiers in a small boat and entered Nghe An City.

It was not what they expected, Nghe Ann City was not even closed, let alone defended, and even the city gates were not closed.

After the Qiongzhou soldiers landed, the county guard of Ngee Ann City personally led the city officials and gentry to the city gate to greet them.

The leader was a middle-aged man dressed in a traditional Annan white dress, although he was trembling, he still tried to muster up the courage to step forward, bent down to Fan Jinyan, who was also walking in the front, and said, "I don't know who the general is?" ”

Fan Jinyan didn't speak, Yang Dahai beside him walked up to the middle-aged man and said: "This general is the general of the Southern Fleet of the Qiongzhou Navy of the Ming Dynasty, and the latter is the general of Jinghai of the Ming Dynasty, the general of Zhennan, and the order of His Majesty the Emperor will be stationed on Qiongzhou Island forever and govern the power of the Nanyang countries. Now, we will take over Nghe An County and go and inform the people to welcome the new marquis! ”
