In the twenty-seventh year of the new dynasty, Xu Xing presided over the suppression of bandits in southern Fujian for five years, and finally leveled the sea Kou Linfeng, which was entrenched in Ryukyu Island and nearby archipelagos, and the main battlefield was concentrated in Zhangzhou, as well as the sea areas of Zhangzhou and Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Quanzhou have many old times, Zheng Menghuai is one of them.

In the 32nd year, the Ryukyu bandits were pacified, and Zong Zhengqi newly established Fengzhu Mansion to govern Ryukyu and nearby islands, under the jurisdiction of Shanbei, Tianling, and Pingding, and Zheng Menghuai was appointed as the capital of Shanbei Yi.

Lin Feng's remnants, under the leadership of his son Lin Ji, attached to Gongliang Youqin and continued to invade all parts of Southern Fujian, and Fengzhu and Zhangzhou Prefecture were in trouble.

However, compared with the situation 27 years ago in the new dynasty, the army of Southern Fujian was as high as 70,000 people, and with the efforts of Xu Xing, it had a huge water camp system, and it was the second water camp force with a building boat in addition to the Chen people, and had enough troops to protect Fengzhu and Zhangzhou from invasion.

However, Zong Zhengqi was trapped by Liyan in his later years, and he had no intention of running Fengzhu Mansion.

In the past 12 years, only 100,000 displaced people have moved to Fengzhu Mansion, and with the aborigines, there are less than 200,000 people in one place.

When Zongzheng Xunda succeeded to the throne, the resistance from Zhangzhou and Fengzhu was the greatest.

Forty years after the New Dynasty, after Gongliang Youqin was defeated by Xu Xing in the East China Sea, he expanded inland based on Wenling City in the south of Yue County, and the invasion of Zhangzhou and Fengzhu also intensified. Zongzheng Xunda's surname is weak, and he has no enterprising fighting spirit, in the eyes of Zhangzhou and Fengzhu families, Nanmin is not suitable to be controlled by a person with a surname like him at such a moment.

Zongzheng Xunda unexpectedly served as the king of Nanmin County, shrinking the defense line of Fengzhu and Zhangzhou, and Fengzhufu Mountain Beiyi was the first place to be abandoned.

Zheng Mengzhun, who was the capital of Shanbei Yi at the time, could not bear to abandon the people, and refused to be ordered to shrink his forces to Tianling Castle in the southwest of Ryukyu Island, and led his clan to continue to fight against the pirates in Shanbei Yi. However, the outer islands of the Ryukyus were all abandoned by Zongzheng Xunda, Shanbei Yi did not have the protection of the outer islands, and could not get the material support of Fengzhu, several years of resistance to bandits, the children of the clan suffered heavy casualties, in the 50th year of the new dynasty was forced to abandon Shanbei Yi, the remaining 30,000 people in Shanbei Yi moved to the west of Zhangtai in the Minzhong Mountains, built Jian'an Fort on the outer edge of the Minshan Mountains, and Zhangtai City one south and one north, to prevent the Puji bandits from continuing to invade inland.

Since the beginning of Lin Feng's giant bandits, the Zheng family led the people of Zhangtai to resist the bandits, and the children of the clan who died in the bandits did not know that the prestige in the Zhangzhou area could not be compared with other families.

Xu Ruyu stood at the bow of the ship and recalled his father's evaluation of his person: his surname is Lie, his might cannot bend his will, and the rich and poor cannot change his knot.

Xu Xing rejected the Ryukyu bandits, and built eight coastal forts in Longyanyi, Zhangzhou, to improve the coastal defense system. If the Puji bandits had been taken into account and a group of dock forts had been built along the coast of Zhangtai, Zhangtai would not have been forced to abandon the coastal plateau and relocate to the inner line.

Xu Ruyu smiled slightly, and said secretly: The son inherits his father's business, but this is a fate that I can't escape, I hope I can return the people of the southeast to a peaceful world, in order to comfort my father's soul in the sky.

After the sea ship passed the bend, the eyes suddenly opened up, and the gray rocks on both sides of the bank pierced into the water obliquely, forming a long gorge in the shape of a trumpet, and it received only two hundred steps at the sharp bend, and the flow of water was like a galloping horse.

After a sharp bend, the sail pushed the ship forward, Zheng Cangsheng came to Xu Ruyu's side, pointed to the pirates not far ahead, and said: "I have sent people to the north shore of the water, let several other stockades send some men over, and until they are exhausted, we will attack the shore in one fell swoop." Sir, do you think this is feasible? ”

Choosing the winding and winding mountain road, consuming more physical strength, walking through the mountains and valleys and not being able to get rid of the sea boats that were running behind them, it was the first time that the pirates had lost ground in Zhangtai.

From time to time, Zheng Cangsheng commanded the sea ships to force into the range of the pirates, but after the bandits had formed a formation and drove the boat a little away from the river bank, the pirates were so disturbed that they could not walk five miles along the valley for an hour.

Zheng Cang's business was booming, and since he returned to the village to lead the village to resist the pirates, there had never been such a happy moment. With only more than 30 ordinary villagers, they can hang five times their own pirates, and only wait for reinforcements from other villages to rush over, and it is possible to completely annihilate this group of pirates.

Xu Ruyu smiled slightly, thinking: The people of Zhangtai are very strong, and they are still unyielding under the invasion of bandits for decades. He has only known everyone for half a while, but Zheng Cangsheng does not think that he is an outsider at all. smiled: "As long as you can ensure that this group of pirates does not leave this area, you might as well hang them for a little longer." ”

If you take a boat on the water, you can wait for work, and it will naturally be more powerful to hang for a little more time, and then it will be a plateau plain, and if the bandits break away from the valley, they will not be able to stop them with only more than 30 people on board. Zheng Cangsheng's face couldn't help but darken again, and he turned his head to look north to see if the reinforcements from the other stockades had arrived.

Before nightfall, one hundred and twenty soldiers came to meet them and put them on the ship, plus the villagers on the south bank who were lying in the shadows, and their own numbers were no weaker than the pirates.

Xu Ruyu saw Zheng Cangsheng's eager look, and said: "Although the pirates have become tired soldiers, but the trapped beasts are still fighting, even if we win, there are not many people left, so don't want such a victory." ”

Zheng Cangsheng asked dejectedly: "I can't think of a better way, I implore Mr. to teach us." ”

Mo Nian couldn't help but come over to see if he had any clever ideas.

Xu Ruyu thought for a while and said, "Continue to hang them, twenty archers and twenty warriors will be secretly left on the ship, and the rest will all go ashore to meet the people on the shore in one place, hang the pirates on land, and send some people to be suspicious soldiers behind us." ”

Mo Nian said with a smile: "The suspicious soldiers let Zheng Yong go, so that the pirates will not dare to fight a decisive battle with us, and they will not leave the valley easily." He turned around and said to Zheng Yong: "You just lead people to sneak behind." ”

Zheng Yong couldn't hear the meaning of his words, and asked, "How can you set up suspicious soldiers in stealth?" ”

Zheng Cangsheng understood, and said with a smile: "You can't hide the bandits if you lead the troops to sneak, and there is no trace of such a suspicious soldier." "Haha" laughed.

Xu Ruyu looked at this young man in his early twenties, his face flushed, he stammered, his face was angry, he turned around and looked at the shore but couldn't hide the tears in his eyes, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "Do you know your intention to hide an ambush on the boat?" ”

Zheng Yong was slightly stunned, and whispered back unconfidently: "Mr. expected them to cross the river?" Looking up at Xu Ruyu's face, seeing the look in Xu Ruyu's eyes that encouraged him to continue, he quickly glanced at others and continued: "The invasion of the pirates is mainly concentrated in the southern area of Longyan or the landing in the Zhangtai area, and the pirates do not dare to fight with us, so they will naturally cross the Dazhang River to the north to find other bandits, but they will not cross hundreds of miles of mountain roads to the south of Longyan." The gentleman was hoping that they were crossing the river when we suddenly attacked. ”

Zheng Cangsheng came over, put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Zheng Yong, you are qualified to be a military advisor." ”

When one hundred and fifty Zhaiding gathered behind the bandits, Zheng Yong led ten people to set up some suspicious soldiers in the back, and the bandits did not attack backwards or leave the valley.

Zheng Cangsheng led one hundred and fifty Zhai Ding to dot behind the bandits, Xu Ruyu, Mo Nian and other more than a dozen people drove the sea boats to the side of the bandits, and there were more than 30 warriors hidden in the cabin. More than a dozen torches as thick as an arm were picked out from the side of the ship, illuminating the river near and far.

Seeing that there was no hope of getting rid of the tailed villagers, the pirates finally decided to force their way across the Dazhang River at dawn to break through to the north. Fifty people formed a dense circle formation to guard against the more than 100 Zhaiding led by Zheng Cangsheng, and the other 100 people jumped into the cold river water together and crossed to the north bank.

Mo Nian commanded the sea ship to rush into the sea bandits, and the sea bandits used weapons to cut the hull of the ship, but the sea ship structure was strong, if there was no deep Dan power or the help of heavy weapons and sharp blades, how could it hurt the hull?

The pirates who were swept away by the ships attached to the hull of the ship and prepared to climb up to take the ship, but the hull of the ship was very high, and the walls of the ship were soaked in the sea water a lot, and slippery moss was grown, and a few people were able to climb onto the plank, but the thirty hidden villagers poured out at once, and shot and slashed them with bows, arrows, knives and axes.

At that time, it was nearly the middle of November, and although Nanmin belonged to the south, the water temperature was also extremely low at night, and the bandits immersed in the cold stream saw that there was no hope of forcibly crossing the north bank, so they returned to the south bank one after another. At this time, Zheng Cangsheng led the Zhaiding to surround him and attacked the fifty bandits who formed a circle in the valley.

Xu Ruyu saw that Zheng Cangsheng launched an offensive without waiting for the bandits who came ashore to disperse the circle formation by themselves, knowing that with the combat power of Zhai Ding to attack the dense circle formation, although he had three times the manpower, the casualties were naturally inevitable, so he pointed over there and said loudly: "Don't care about the bandits in the water, lean the boat over, and use bows and arrows to support Cangsheng them." After that, he didn't care about hiding his strength, so he took the bow and arrow in the hand of a person next to him, and shot it towards the shore. Before the ship could get closer, eleven arrows shot eleven pirates into the cold water, and the armor and shields on their bodies were not helping.

Mo Nian was secretly frightened when he saw Xu Ruyu's side, not to mention that Xu Ruyu instantly fired eleven arrows in a row without any difficulty, but the boat was still more than two hundred steps away from that side, and the bow used by Zhai Ding had the power to penetrate the leather armor within a hundred steps. At this time, he was able to understand that his realm was far from being able to understand himself, but he didn't think too much about it, Xu Ruyu's continuous shot shot out of a gap in the dense circle array, and Zhai Ding saw a dozen flashes of vague brilliance coming, and more than a dozen pirates rolled down into the stream, and the dense circle array that was guarding in front collapsed.
