There are 1,390 large and small islands in the Zhoushan archipelago. Among them, the islands in the southern sea area of Dinghai City are the most densely distributed, reaching 64.

Daming implemented the "small island relocation and big island construction" in Zhoushan Zhili Prefecture, and the first phase of the action plan was to start from the Panzhi countryside in the south of Dinghai Port.

The islanders of the nine small islands under Panzhi Township, namely Panzhi Island, Damao Island, Dawukui Mountain, Xiaopanzhi, Dawangjiao Mountain, Thorn Mountain, Xiqi Island, Dongqi Island, and Jieqi Mountain, should all be relocated to Dinghai, and all the houses on the island should be demolished, and the vegetation should be restored for future development.

The Panzhi Township team had already been dispatched to various islands and reefs in advance.

According to the Task Force's preliminary statistics, the nine islands have a combined population of more than 5,000. Among them, Da Mao Mountain is the largest, with an area of 6.92 square kilometers, inhabited by three natural villages, with more than 100 households and more than 800 villagers, and the smallest is Dawangjiaoshan Island, with an area of 0.08 square kilometers, inhabited by a natural village with more than 20 villagers.

The members of the task force are Huafu activists selected from various villages in eastern Zhejiang, all of whom have rich experience in rural work and have received two months of work training at the Yancang Party School.

Big Cat Island is located in the south of Xiezhimen, the area is not large, and the whole island is mainly hilly. There are three natural villages on the island, including Anjigang Village and three natural villages, and the villagers mainly make a living from fishing.

On the evening of January 20, a coast guard ship docked on the shores of Anjigang, Da Mao Island.

Anjigang is a gentle hill with rocks on the left side and a small hill on the right. There are more than 20 families living in the village below, and there is a flat beach 50 meters in front of the village.

"Captain Yu, this letter is urgent!"

The confidential communicator from Panzhi Township sent a letter to the team, and then turned around and went to two other villages on Big Cat Island.

Yu Yongshui, the leader of the Anjigang Village work team, sat alone in the village outpost, looking at the three feathers on the envelope, and his heart sank, feeling that something was about to happen.

Opening the letter from his superiors, Yu Yongshui's eyes suddenly widened, and he muttered, "Requisition all ships overnight?!" ”

Two days ago, the Dinghai Special Economic Zone just issued an order that, due to the needs of military tasks, the southern waters of Dinghai were closed to navigation and fish. Today, another order was issued to seize the ships.

Yu Yongshui keenly felt that the action of "moving small islands and building large islands" may be imminent.

The propaganda and education of "moving small islands and building large islands" has also been more than half a month, and it should be time for action. It's just that the village has been fishing for generations, and suddenly confiscating boats overnight can easily exacerbate the conflict.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Yu Yongshui suddenly remembered an incident.

Before dinner, he walked around the village and listened to Liu Wangfa's report that his father Liu Bing and Li Dacheng had something unusual in the past two days, and they muttered about secretly going to sea to fish.

Yu Yongshuiyuan is a fisherman's son in Xiaoshamaozhi Village, Dinghai, and is very familiar with the work of fishing villages. He knows that fishing boats are the lifeblood of fishermen~ roots, fishermen have lived by begging for the sea for generations, and it is understandable that they want to go to the sea secretly, but they must be resolutely stopped.

Direct seizure, escalation of the conflict?

This seems to be inappropriate, and the mass work should still focus on persuasion and education, and it is necessary to solve this problem in a positive, prudent, and orderly manner, and it is best to teach Liu Bing and Li Dacheng a profound lesson.

Yu Yongshui carefully put away the letter, frowned, and thought about it.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he shouted vigorously, "Lin Shuihu! ”

"Here!" The joint defense team member standing guard at the entrance of the village replied vigorously.

Yu Yongshui walked out of the room in high spirits, "Blow the assembly whistle, the work team and the joint defense team will conduct military training!" ”

Hear "Toot! Honk! Honk! The whistle sounded in the village, and the members of the work team, the village officials, and the joint defense team immediately moved, and they rushed to the entrance of the village with guns on their shoulders.

The beach in front of Anjigang Village immediately became alive and well.

In the wee hours of the morning, the moon had already gone down, the sun had not yet risen, and it was dark and dreary.

The sea breeze whined all over Big Cat Island, and the pine waves on the Anji Gang were gusting.

In winter, the seashore is quite cold, and the village of Anjigang is quiet, and the militia standing guard at the entrance of the village is also holding muskets and cowering in the checkpoint.

Suddenly, a figure swayed in front of the outpost, listening to the soft snoring coming from inside.

Li Dacheng breathed a sigh of relief, quietly turned around and walked back to the village. He crept up to a house and knocked lightly on the window.

This is two stone grass houses inside and outside, narrow, low and dark, the inside is where his son Liu Wangfa lives, and Liu Bing's family lives in the outer room. There is also a small grass shed outside the house, which is used for pots and stoves for firewood.

Hearing the movement, Liu Laohan immediately got up from the bed, put on a padded jacket, and walked lightly to the window, "Brother Dacheng, is there any movement outside?" The militia won't still be at the entrance of the village, will they? ”

"It's okay! The militia hid in the house and slept soundly. Li Dacheng rubbed his hands vigorously outside the window, "Now is the time when the fish is prosperous, and they don't even let us go to the sea, they can't figure it out!" ”

"Okay, I'll be there soon!" Liu Laohan responded while putting on a dragon coat and dragon pants.

Longyi dragon pants are a kind of men's clothes made of homespun cloth, which is a special equipment for fishermen to go to sea in winter.

In the cold winter, the cotton clothes are tucked into the waistband of the wide dragon pants, 4 trouser pockets are bunched, and 2 trouser legs are tightened, and fishing at sea is not cold at all.

"In charge, the working group is promoting 'small islands are moved and big islands are built' every day." Aunt Liu also sat up, the room was a little cold, and she quickly put on a thick cotton coat.

Liu Laohan roared angrily, "Stinky mother-in-law, what do you want to say?" ”

"I'm about to move to Dinghai City, should we start packing up our things and don't go to sea to make a living." Aunt Liu said sneeringly.

Aunt Liu was originally from the mainland, and when she was eight years old, she was abducted and trafficked to Big Cat Island by traffickers and became a child daughter-in-law in Liu's family.

Decades have passed, Aunt Liu has long been tamed and resigned to her fate, living on the island with peace of mind, and giving birth to a son to Liu Bing.

The impression of her hometown Aunt Liu has long been forgotten, but she can still have a few dreams occasionally, recalling that she used to be called Chen Sanniang, and the lotus pond at the door of her hometown.

Liu Laohan was angry, "You fart, our family has been begging for a living at sea for generations!" ”

Liu Bing went to the sea at the age of fifteen to make a living, broke in the wind and drilled in the waves for nearly 30 years, and practiced his fishing skills. If others can't catch a fish, he can; With a strong wind of seven or eight levels, others dare not go to sea, but he dares to go to sea, and he is the best boat boss in Anjigang Village.

Liu Laohan has a high ability to ask for the sea, and his personality is also quite stubborn.

Although the task force has repeatedly stated that because of the needs of military tasks, it is necessary to block navigation and fish, and at the same time arrange for fishermen to temporarily recuperate.

Liu Laohan and Li Dacheng and a few other people did not think so, they promised very well in their mouths, and they always wanted to go to the sea to catch more fish, buy a lot of New Year's goods, and spend the New Year happily.

"Don't scold my mom!" The voice of his son Liu Wangfa came from the room.

"Stinky boy!" Liu Bing said angrily, "Don't rub it in, hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu!" ”

"It's easy to go out to sea to fish, we have to come back." Wang Fa squirmed on his clothes, walked out of the room and said sullenly, "When you come back, just wait to be criticized!" ”

"A batch of batches is indispensable for your piece of meat."

Liu Laohan roared in a low voice, "It's already the fourteenth day of the lunar month, and the Ming Dynasty government actually ordered the sea to be closed and not to catch some fish, how can this year be over!" ”

Liu Laohan opened the door, and by the starlight outside, carefully put the small pair of nets into the basket.

This fishing net is the treasure of the old man's heart, last year he sold 200 catties of fish, only from the supply and marketing cooperative, to buy this set of fishing gear.

This small pair of nets is woven with ramie, with potato nut as dye, composed of wing nets, body nets, and capsule nets, similar to trousers, commonly known as "trouser leg nets", which is most suitable for fishing hairtail fish in winter.

Liu Bing and his son quietly went out of the house carrying fishing nets, and Li Dacheng and six others were already waiting on the side of the road.

With the addition of Liu Bing's father and son, eight people can just drive two small sampans and open small nets to catch fish.

Li Dacheng and Liu Bing walked lightly through the entrance of the village with their shoulders, fishing gear, and baskets.

"Wow... The tide roared and rushed to the shore, crashing against the beach wave after wave.

"What about the ship? What about our ships? ”

The eight small sampans in the village were originally lying under the big honey locust trees on the shore, and Li Dacheng and others were surprised to find that one of the boats was gone.

Liu Wangfa knew it in his heart, he touched his head and said casually, "It won't be swept away by the tide, right?" ”

The sixteenth day of the lunar calendar is a big tide, and the tide of the fourteenth is not small, does it really let the tide sweep away?!

Liu Laohan put down the fishing net and touched the ground, which was dry. He got up and patted his son on the head, "Nonsense, the tide of sixteen can't rise under the big honey locust tree." ”

Li Dacheng sighed, "Don't say it, this must be the fault of Captain Yu of the task force." ”

"It's not about making evil, it's about carrying out the orders of the imperial court." A sonorous and powerful voice suddenly sounded at the entrance of the village, and Yu Yongshui walked over from the entrance of the village with an armed belt and a musket on his back. Two militiamen followed him closely.

"The government issued a new order last night to requisition all ships on the island. The compensation will be settled to you after dawn. Please believe in the Baath Party, the Ming Dynasty will never let the masses suffer. ”

Looking at the muskets carried by Yu Yongshui and the militiamen, Li Dacheng didn't dare to speak for a while.

"Yes...... But now is the time for winter fishing. Liu Laohan said indignantly, "Today is the fourteenth day of the lunar month, we have to catch some fish, so that we can buy New Year's goods." ”

Someone followed and shouted, "That's right, the court has to give us a way to live!" ”

"Didn't the imperial court give everyone a way to live?"

Yu Yongshui's voice suddenly became cold, "After the fishing ban was issued, the government subsidized a bag of flour to every household on the island, which was sent by me and the team from door to door.

Whoever has any difficulties at home, the work team and the village committee are the first to come to the door ~ service. Last month, you said that there were too many fish in your home to sell, and the government immediately organized a supply and marketing cooperatives to go to the island to buy them, and the price was quite fair. ”

"Captain Yu, their juniors can't speak, and you don't remember villains." Li Dacheng smiled, "We all remember the government's kindness to our fishermen." ”

At this moment, the sound of a motor sounded on the dark and dreary sea.

"What a move!"

Yu Yongshui suddenly became alert, his eyes widened and he looked at the dark and heavy sea, vaguely as if a ship was coming straight to the shore of Anjigang.
