After passing through Penghu County, the fleet of the land and water battalion sailed south for another three days. In the past three days, Yang Xien and the two people he brought were very well-behaved, except for sleeping in the cabin or walking around on the deck, at most, they were far away to see the bow guns and stern guns, but they did not propose close contact.

Although it's nothing for them to touch, looking at the ordinary big iron pipe is not as simple as they imagined, it can be said to be the highest level in this era, and it is impossible to leak any secrets, but Zhu Houwei and Zhu Yuan still appreciate their duties.

As soon as the fleet passed Dangan Island, Zhu Houwei looked at Hong Kong Island in the north with a telescope with mixed feelings. I thought it should be a deserted island, but I didn't expect to see several small fishing villages and some fishing boats on the sea.

The arrival of the fleet attracted the attention of the fishermen, and after discovering that the fleet had no intention of going to the fishing village, they relaxed their minds and looked at these strange ships with curious eyes.

Yang Xien walked to Zhu Houwei's side, holding the side of the boat and looking at the sea together. Zhu Houwei handed the telescope to Yang Xien, Yang Xien hurriedly took it carefully, and when he got it in his hand, his serious expression suddenly smiled a little. For a good navigation helper like a telescope, Yang Xien couldn't put it down after seeing it for the first time, but Zhu Houwei didn't give him one, but only occasionally let him use it, which already made him very excited.

Yang Xien took the binoculars and squinted one eye, looking at the fishing village in the distance, Zhu Houwei turned around and leaned his back against the side of the boat and asked, "How long has the fishing village been here, and where are they from?" ”

Yang Xien didn't put down the binoculars, but said directly, "There are already in the former Song Dynasty, but after the opening of the Ming Dynasty, there are a few more fishing villages nearby." Many people have migrated from Guangdong and multiplied, and this has been a hundred years. Zhu Houwei stood up straight, it was really uncomfortable leaning on the side of the boat, the waves were a little big today, and he felt that his back had been hitting the side of the ship. Zhu Houwei asked, "Which state and county does this belong to?" ”

Yang Xien put down the binoculars, his expression was a little heavy, "Some belong to Guangzhou, but there are also a few that do not belong to any state or county, but belong to some families." "There are many islands off the coast of Daming, and the further south you go, the more there are, and many of them are inhabited, mostly fishermen. However, many villages did not belong to the control of the imperial court, but the property of some forces. Most of the village's production will be handed over to these forces, and most of these people are oppressed and cannot resist. Because they are black households, they can't go inland in the Ming Dynasty, and on the other side is the vast sea, and there is nowhere to escape if they want to.

When Zhu Houwei heard this, he understood what was going on, so he kept silent. Yang Xien also picked up the telescope again, looked southwest, and suddenly chanted a poem: "The apes on both sides of the strait can't stop crying, and the light boat has passed over the ten thousand mountains." The lookout on the mast shouted loudly, "My lord, our people are back." ”

As the flying clippers who had gone south to reconnoitre, they came back, they happened to be downwind, and the speed was fast, and from a distance, it seemed like flying against the surface of the sea, and like a sharp pair of scissors, cutting through the curtain of the sea. Zhu Houwei looked at the speeding clipper boat and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Whether it is the Li family's fleet or Wang Quan's wrecked ship, there is news, and it is not far from Zhu Houwei's fleet, which is in the Chuanshan Islands in the southwest. And Wang Quan and a group of them have already gone to the island, and the Li family's fleet seems to be preparing to go ashore to pursue.

Chuanshan Islands, a group of islands in the South China Sea, are the third largest archipelago in China. Chuanshan Islands are divided into Shangchuan Island (157 square kilometers), Xiachuan Island (98 square kilometers), Wuzhu Island, Luozhou, Pipa Island, Wangfu Island, Peng Island, Weijia Island, Guanyu Island, etc. The largest of these islands are Kamikawa Island and Shimokawa Island, from which the archipelago derives its name.

With the exact amount of news, Zhu Yuan immediately ordered in the captain's room, "Cheer up, you must arrive early tomorrow morning." "Yes." The officers replied in response, and after Zhu Yuan's "dismissal," they all walked quickly to their posts.

The fleet sailed overnight, and the next morning, sure enough, it had arrived at the Chuanshan Islands. The place where Wang Quan came ashore was in Lychee Bay on Xiachuan Island. When Zhu Houwei and the others arrived at the outskirts of Lychee Bay, they found that there were many sea ships docked in the port there. It should be the Li family's fleet and Wang Quan's sea ships.

Not far from the coast of Lychee Bay, there is a fishing village called Sanyang Village. Legend has it that at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, three brothers surnamed Yang brought a group of people here to take root and stay away from the war. After more than 200 years of recuperation, it has slowly become a village with more than 300 families.

The quiet and peaceful village has changed its appearance, and it can be seen through the telescope that a fire has burned in the east, and fierce fighting is going on in and outside the village. Seeing this scene, Yang Xien couldn't help but grasp the side of the ship tightly with both hands and stare closely into the distance.

The arrival of the fleet attracted the attention of the Li family's fleet, and they were not like Wang Quan, and all of them went to the island. A Haicang ship quickly approached the fleet, a man of about thirty stood at the bow of the ship, and when the two sides were still four or five hundred meters apart, Yang Xien shouted, "Where is Miss?" Although the man was a little surprised, because he heard Yang Xien's voice, his voice was very distinctive, full of neutrality, and quite imposing, "Mr. Yang, why are you here?" Miss is fine, and now she is still cleaning up Wang Quan and them on the shore. ”

With Yang Xien here, the Li family's fleet lowered its guard and made way of the route, allowing the fleet to approach the port. The village is less than two miles from the coast, and the general situation can now be seen with the naked eye.

It is mainly divided into two parties, one of which is the Li family, while the other is the joint team of Sanyang Village and Wang Quan. Since the opening of the Ming Dynasty, Sanyang Village has not entered the rule of the imperial court. With the fish, the boiled private salt and some other products were exchanged with the states and counties of Daming. In the Chenghua years, changes slowly took place, and some young descendants who were not willing to live a hard life began to join the nearby pirate organization. Sanyang Village has also become an existence of people and thieves. There are many people under Wang Quan who went out from Sanyang Village, which is why Wang Quan fled so far and chose this island as the place for the final battle.

There was a simple port here, but it was not enough for several ships of the fleet to dock, so under Zhu Yuan's order, he lowered the small boats from each of the several ships, and began to advance towards the port with soldiers on board.

The landing was actually quite cumbersome, but now there was no interference, so after about twenty minutes, the first soldiers were already on the shore. There were a total of one hundred and five people, plus two tiger squat cannons. Yang Xien was also among the first batch of people, and his appearance was to show Zhu Yuan's position and avoid trouble for the Li family, because the current situation was that the Li family was in the middle.

Zhu Houwei didn't go ashore until the second batch, but Zhu Yuan immediately formed a team with the first batch of 100 people who landed, and then trotted towards Sanyang Village.
