The south of Poyang Lake is 173 kilometers long, the widest point from east to west is 74 kilometers, the average width is 16.9 kilometers, the shoreline of the lake is 1,200 kilometers long, the lake area is 4,125 square kilometers, the average water depth is 8.4 meters, and the deepest part is 25.1 meters.

If the sailors of Yangzhou want to get the best location, they must first expel the water thieves from Poyang Lake, but there is a big problem, Poyang Lake is a paradise for water thieves, and there are hundreds of large and small water teams in it.

Most of the islands of Poyang Lake are distributed in the southern region, that is, the area south of Songmenshan Island now, there are nearly 30 islands, large and small are distributed everywhere, the largest of which is called Lianhu Island, with an area of 42 square kilometers, which is an island with the most concentration of water pirates, well, it can also be said to be the base camp of water pirates in Poyang Lake.

The territory of the Jinfan thief is not in Lianhu Island, but in a small island with a unique scenery not far from Lianhu Island, this island has no name, but it covers an area of about three square kilometers, there are about three square kilometers, and the water thieves of 800 people can fully accommodate it, because it is Ganyun's territory, Ganyun named it Jinfan Island.

On this day, the wind is beautiful, the island is full of brocade thieves wearing brocade clothes, some people also bring one or two women to talk about love, in Jinfan Island, there are not so many rules, and there are not so many martial law, because Gan Yun is very confident, and even sometimes, Jinfan Island will be opened to the outside world in a specific way, allowing the people around Poyang Lake to come to play, Gan Yun is a relatively enlightened thief.

Eight hundred Jinfan thieves established Jinfan Island, Gan Yun alone, but has the highest rights, on Jinfan Island, Gan Yun is the king, everything please be decided by Gan Yun, in fact, not only Jinfan Island, the owners of the surrounding islands, large and small, have the highest rights on the island, well, these people are water thieves.

In the east of Jinfan Island, a steep place of mountains and rocks, there is a water village, the water village is built on the turbulent water surface, standing near the water, even the sound of the tide rising and falling can be heard clearly, a young Jinfan thief in the water village constantly patrols back and forth, sometimes you can hear the call of the silver swing in some rooms, the water thief is also a human being.

"Big boss, this is this year's harvest" at the top of the water village, there is a lobby that looks very luxurious, the reason why it is luxurious, is because this lobby is all colorful cloth paving, the style is very unique, and it is also very luxurious, in this era, how many people can afford to buy brocade cloth? I saw a burly-looking big man carefully handing over an account book to Gan Yun and said.

"Very good" Gan Yun is wearing a brocade robe, looking very young, at most twenty-three or four years old, I saw Gan Yun wrapped in iron chains, silver jewelry in his ears, and gold wire sleeves in his hands, this dress, isn't it the original Gan Ning? And the appearance is exactly the same, but because of the perennial swimming in the water, the skin has become darker.

Right! Gan Yun is Gan Ning! Jinfan thief Gan Ning! This is Gan Ning's true colors, Gan Ning, who was named the king of Hanzhong, understands that if he doesn't leave, he really can't leave, Gan Ning doesn't want to compensate with any Dajin Dynasty, and there are 800 brothers under Gan Ning's command, these brothers are all fellow villagers of Gan Ning, how could Gan Ning be willing to let them die?

Gan Ning, who wanted to understand, left Hanzhong with his brothers from the trail before the holy decree of the king of Hanzhong was transmitted to Hanzhong, and came straight to Poyang Lake, because of the large area of Poyang Lake, all kinds of water thieves emerged in endlessly, although Gan Ning and his brothers were dressed strangely, but it would not cause any ideas, after all, in Poyang Lake, there are some stranger people.

With eight hundred brothers and countless silver and gold in hand, what could not be done? At first, Gan Ning bought a piece of land near the lake in Poyang County, built a shipbuilder on it, and used the gold and silver brought by Hanzhong to buy the grain of the local gate valve and some materials necessary for shipbuilding, and in less than half a year, he built eight warships, each of which could accommodate 100 people, and 800 people was exactly eight.

Of course, the built ship naturally can't just accommodate 100 people, what does Gan Ning do? That's a thief head, and he was almost crowned king, can he have no ambition? The construction of these warships was based on the government's four-ship ship, and there were countless ordnance and materials on them, which could accommodate up to 500 people.

With such a good warship, how could those water thieves on Poyang Lake dare to be their enemies? After taking a few unsightly water thieves around Poyang Lake who wanted to grab the boat, no one dared to underestimate Gan Ning, and allowed Gan Ning to occupy an excellent position on the side of Lianhu Island.

Lianhu Island has a very high status in the minds of the water thieves, and the money and food robbed by the water thieves are all dirty on Lianhu Island, and after the fleet of some gate valve clans is robbed, they can only helplessly come to Lianhu Island to redeem and buy back the boats, this is the old rule, so the interests of Lianhu Island are very amazing.

Where there are interests, there is struggle, and where there is struggle, there is power, and Lianhu Island is not a form of alliance, but a monopoly! That's right, it's a big one! Every three years, water thieves from all over the world will gather on Lianhu Island to compete, and the strongest will become the owner of Lianhu Island, that is, the uncrowned king of the entire Poyang Lake waters.

"The big boss, in a few days it will be the election of the owner of Lianhu Island in Poyang Lake, and the brothers are very curious, do you want to be the king of Poyang Lake?" The burly man stood beside Gan Ning and asked Gan Ning, although this big man looks very brave, but compared to Gan Ning, it is a world of difference, and he can only rank in the middle and lower reaches of the eight hundred Jinfan thieves, but this person has a specialty, that is, he can settle accounts, and he is a special talent in Poyang Lake, where water thieves are rampant, of course, if it is not for the brother of the Jinfan thief, Gan Ning will not hand over the financial power to him.

"The King of Poyang Lake?" Gan Ning heard Dahan's words, smiled coldly, and said with a disdainful face: "What is the king is not the king, Lao Tzu is not rare, he is at ease on this Jinfan Island, why do you want to fight for the owner of Lianhu Island, if you really want to fight, which one of the wastes on Lianhu Island is Lao Tzu's opponent?" ”

"The big boss, but if you live on Lianhu Island, the brothers can get a lot of money and food every year" The big man looked a little worried, and said to Gan Ning: "The big boss, now the brothers are in their twenties, and it is the year of starting a family, the big boss can not think about himself, but always think about the brothers."

Gan Ning looked at the big man who spoke a little stunned, and he didn't expect the big man to say this, but Gan Ning didn't blame, because within the Jinfan thief, they are actually brothers, and there are not too many high and low differences, just because Gan Ning's personal prestige is the highest, and most of the time he has sovereignty, of course, if all the brothers are opposed, Gan Ning can't help but give up his ideas.

"Do the brothers want to join Lianhu Island?" Gan Ning's breath looked a little chaotic, and he looked at the big man with a heavy face and asked, in fact, Gan Ning didn't want to join Lianhu Island, Lianhu Island has so many interests, who doesn't want it? But the problem is that once you become the owner of Lianhu Island, you will be on the cusp of the wind and waves, and the trees will be beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it!

Since the emergence of the owner of Lianhu Island, almost thirty percent of the island's power has been destroyed in the hands of the government, because the government does not allow the existence of a power of reading, especially for the water thieves on both sides of the lake, every time the government sends a large army to conquer, the biggest target is always the owner of Lianhu Island.

"Not all, a small number of brothers hope to leave the ranks of water thieves, and suggest that the big boss enter the government and work for the government, after all, water thieves cannot be a lifetime, and it is very likely to leave a stigma for themselves." The big man looked very realistic, and said to Gan Ning without adding any oil or vinegar.

"Want to enter the government?" Gan Ning was stunned, a little speechless, he was a yellow turban thief, and he still wanted to be an officer and soldier? Is it too much to think about, not to mention whether anyone accepts it, even if someone can accept the past of the Jinfan thief, Gan Ning will not dare to go ashore and throw himself into the net.

Gan Ning was once known as the first general under Zhang Jiao, this is not called in vain, now Gan Ning is still the most wanted criminal in the Luoyang Imperial Court, anyone who finds Gan Ning's whereabouts, or reports Gan Ning's whereabouts can receive a large amount of silver, money can make ghosts grind, even if there have been a few traitors who have received rewards within the Jinfan thief, who else can Gan Ning trust?

Of course, there is one person, Gan Ning absolutely believes! That is Liu Tai, the god king of Northern Xinjiang! Don't you see the Yellow Turban General Zhou Tai now living in northern Xinjiang? Who would dare to trouble Liu Tai? Even if Ling Yanjing pretended not to know, he didn't say a word on the matter.

Gan Ning has thought that the only force he can take refuge in the government is Northern Xinjiang, but there is a very important question, Poyang Lake is thousands of miles away from Northern Xinjiang, how can Gan Ning take his brothers? After being blocked by the government along the road, how many people will be left?

Well, some people may ask, why didn't Gan Ning take the waterway? If you go north along the coastline, won't you soon reach the mouth of the Yellow River? Joke! Can ordinary warships of this era go by sea? It's a fool's dream, isn't it? Even the iron-clad warships in northern Xinjiang sailed in the Bohai Bay and the Yellow River at most, and if they really entered the sea, as long as there was a strong wind and waves, they could send the fleet to Java for free

"It is impossible to become an officer and soldier at present, so the brother hopes to earn enough money and food, so that he can be an ordinary rich man incognito, of course, if the big boss is unwilling, we still swear to follow the big boss to the death!" Seeing Gan Ning's wry smile, Dahan knew that he had just spoken and joked, with Gan Ning's background and the good things that the Jinfan Thief had done before, who would dare to accept the Jinfan Thief?

"Hey, you don't understand, it's not difficult to seize the position of the owner of Lianhu Island, but what about after becoming the owner of Lianhu Island? Now Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuande is not a conservative person, I heard that there have been official fleets in some small waters recently, and the various docks of the government have begun to build large battlefields, if anyone becomes the owner of Lianhu Island at this time, they will have to bear Liu Xuande's most terrifying revenge! ”

"Our Jinfan brothers are all from Ba County, I don't want my brothers to die under Liu Xuande's sword soldiers." Gan Ning sighed deeply, and said out loud with a little helplessness, to be a famous general, naturally have the insight that a famous general should have, Gan Ning has been very concerned about the movements of Yangzhou Mansion recently, and guessed that Liu Bei is likely to train the water thieves, and as the head of the water thieves, he naturally has to drink a good glass of punishment wine

After listening to Gan Ning's words, Dahan's face was ugly, although he said that Dahan was good at managing money, but he didn't know that there was this layer behind him, in case he became the owner of Lianhu Island, and was regarded as a mortal enemy by Yangzhou Mu Liu Bei, then the trouble would be big, and the officers and soldiers were at war, how many of the eight hundred brothers in the water village could survive?

"The big boss, the subordinates understand, and then the subordinates will explain it to the brothers." After the change of color, Dahan thought about the key to pain, as long as the brothers were not embarrassed, the Jinfan thief could still live well.

"Report to the big boss, there is a fast boat coming outside the water village, there is an open fire reminder on it, and shouting the name of the big boss, as if to visit the big boss!" Suddenly, a man dressed in brocade walked into the lobby and shouted softly at Gan Ning.

"Clippers? These people look like they're coming from above? Gan Ning couldn't believe that on this Poyang Lake, someone dared to drive a fast boat to find Gan Ning directly!

"They are dressed like merchants, very polite, and two of them are very brave, and our brothers wanted to go up and unload their weapons, but they kicked them with both feet, and now the brothers are still confronting these people." The man did not hesitate at all, and said to Gan Ning, although the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, but in front of his own family, what is there to be embarrassed about?

"Bravery? Only three or four people? A smile hung on the corner of Gan Ning's mouth, stood up, walked slowly, and suddenly, turned to look at the man and said: "Let them enter the water village, greet the brothers, there are big fish sent to the door by themselves, prepare well, don't weaken the momentum of my Jinfan thief."

"Big fish??" The big man and the man were stunned at the same time, in their opinion, this group of people is more like finding fault, how can it be a big fish? Could it be that Gan Ning saw that their identities were different?

"yes, Big Fish!!" Gan Ning slowly walked outside the lobby, with a thick smile on the corner of his mouth, looking a little mysterious, I don't know what tricks to play!
